In the middle of summer, the university campus is more quiet and less noisy, the sound of cicadas echoing in the treetops, the whirring air conditioning in the library makes people drowsy, and occasionally you can see pedestrians hurrying by on the spacious bluestone brick road, and the sound of small steps quickly disappears into the bright sunlight, and in the blink of an eye, silence is restored again. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Nestled in the foothills of Beverly Hills, the University of California, Los Angeles in the Westwood District is home to some of the most famous art collections like the Getty Center, which many visitors make their mark on when they come to Los Angeles. Even so, there isn't much noise on campus, and it seems like the scorching July sun has made people turn their feet to Santa Monica Beach for a rare cool.

However, if you follow the main road of the campus in the direction of the tennis and rugby fields, you can see a completely different scene after two corners. The hustle and bustle of the crowd gives the illusion that there is no place to stay, as if the entire Westwood district has gathered here, no wonder there are not many cars passing on the street, and the surging sea of people spreads from the entrance of the art center all the way to the small hill of the tennis court behind, but even so, all the space is still full.

Alan Peggy looked at the scene in shock, and her first reaction was that she was in the wrong place, and it looked more like a college basketball or college hockey final, with at least 800 people blocking the scene. Shaking his head, Alan walked to the end of the line in front of him, "Sorry, may I ask if there is any activity going on here?" I mean, is this the scene of the casting of 'Hard Fruit Candy'? Or ......"

"Or I'm in the wrong place." Before the last half of the sentence could be spoken, the little girl in front of her shouted excitedly, "Yes, yes, this is it." ”

Immediately afterwards, a boy about sixteen or seventeen years old next to him shouted happily, "Lance has just arrived at the scene!" Jesus Christ! Lance really showed up! I was still wondering, probably not, probably not...... But, Lance appeared! This is really a new work from Lance, God! I'm going to have a heart attack! ”

Alan felt that there was a lot of information she received for a while, and she was stunned, "I thought that only girls between the ages of sixteen and eighteen could participate in today's audition. ”

"Oh, of course, of course." The boy laughed unhappily and hugged the other little girl next to him, "I'm here with Angela." When the time comes, I'll see if there's a chance to go in, and even if I don't, it's good to take a peek outside. Haven't you heard of it? Lance is currently the most talented director in the whole of Hollywood, and the director who knows how to tap new actors! If I had the opportunity to star in Lance's work, I would like to live by eating only salad all year round! ”

"I'm telling you, Lance has the ability to do magic, and the actors he directs will be reborn! What's more, he is very keen on using rookie actors......" Before Allen could speak, another little girl next to him interjected and said excitedly, and then several people exchanged glances and shouted in unison, "Acting group!" Then, everyone laughed out loud in tacit agreement.

Alan was a little confused, she knew that Lance's four films so far, except for Tom Cruise, almost all of them did not use big-name actors, and he was very keen to use those unknown actors. However, Allen didn't know that Lance still had such a reputation, and it was obviously far away in Canada, and he was not well-informed at all.

"So, where am I going to line up now?" Alan grabbed the little girl at the beginning and asked curiously.

"Oh, the line is up to the mountain." The girl pointed to the small hill behind her, and she could see the crowd there from here, "Someone just said that because the line is too long, we are considering transferring the team to the tennis court, but I don't know how to deal with it." ”

Alan nodded, thanked him, and looked at the dense crowd in front of him again. She originally thought that there would not be many people participating in the selection today, after all, no one can be sure that this is Lance's work, and it only costs a mere 600,000 yuan, and most importantly, the requirement is a girl within the age limit, which means that a large number of people have been eliminated directly. Therefore, Alan arrived at the scene twenty minutes in advance of the audition time today to prepare, but he saw this situation......

Taking a deep breath, Alan stepped away and walked in the direction of the small slope.

Albert walked quickly to the gate, and through the glass door, he could see the endless line outside the door, and let out a long breath, "Mr. Allen, there are at least more than a thousand people in line, and it is estimated that there is no way to end the audition in one day today, what should I do?" "The two staff members at the door are Albert's newly recruited assistants, and with the expansion of Chaos Pictures, Albert now has his own regular assistants.

Looking at the excited and somewhat anxious looks on the faces of the two assistants, Albert muttered with a wry smile, "We didn't expect that either." "Everyone in Chaos Pictures, including Lance, was a little caught off guard by this situation, and in their expectation that more than 200 school-age girls would appear today, it could be called a grand occasion, after all, they did not carry out any deliberate publicity.

Then Albert regained his spirit and explained, "Now we can start letting them in." One of the two of you stays here to gate, and the boy is not allowed to enter; Then one goes to the back gate for a second review, and those who are not suitable for age need to leave. So, the two of you get the scales right, and leave a maximum of fifty people waiting in this hall. "These are all improvised strategies," said 10 people at a time, telling them that there was a synopsis here, and that they could read it on their own and prepare a performance based on their own understanding. Each person only has thirty seconds, and they don't need to introduce themselves, just perform directly. ”

The two assistants received so much information that they were a little confused for a while, and Albert had to adjust his breathing, repeat the requirements again, and wait until they were sure that they understood, and then said, "Yes, you can take your seats, I will open the door now and announce the start of the audition." ”

Pushing open the door, the heat wave was blowing in his face, and the sweat behind his back quickly soaked his shirt, Albert could clearly feel countless eyes falling on him, he straightened his chest, and said in a loud voice, "The audition starts now, everyone enters according to the order, and prepare in advance." Finally, good luck to all! ”

"Woo" cheers and whistles rang out one after another, and some people even jumped up excitedly, as if the audition in front of them was not the "fruit hard candy" costing 600,000 yuan, but the "Superman Return" costing 300 million US dollars.

Albert stayed behind to help prepare the first cast members to audition, get the two assistants into the groove without a hitch, and then left the center and headed outside again. Since there were so many people auditioning today, and there were still people coming in, unsure if they would be able to finish before the sun went down, they had to prepare second-hand – what if the audition was postponed until tomorrow?

Standing in line against the sun, Alan originally thought it would be an ordeal, but it was not the case, and the people who came to the audition were divided into two groups, one was young people with dreams of being actors, and the other was young people who admired Lance, and a large part of the group was both. This allowed Alan to share many common topics with the people around him during the queue, from Lance's sinful trilogy to "The Day After Tomorrow", from Lance's works to the works of other directors, the topics were endless, and when Allen's team had already arrived at the gate, she was still unsatisfied and did not realize the passage of time at all.

Looking up at the hall inside the glass door, the nervousness of the upcoming audition hit her face, Alan suddenly realized that less than three hours had passed at this time, and it was her turn in a blink of an eye, the audition that she thought was impossible to complete between the sun going down and now it was close to the second half of the second half before five o'clock, Alan looked back, the team behind her was still like a snake formation, there were at least two hundred people, but it was no longer an impossible task, so ...... Did the auditions go on so quickly?

Imagine that nearly 1,200 actors audition in four or five hours, and the rate of elimination and completion is staggering. What does this mean? It means that the requirements of the crew have been raised very high.

Thinking of this, Alan bit his lower lip and asked the person who was standing at the door who had just finished the audition, but was still lingering at the door, "Excuse me, why did the audition go on so quickly?" ”

"Everyone only has thirty seconds, and most people are interrupted in less than ten seconds." The young girl's face was full of frustration, "God, the whole pace is too fast, I just feel that after entering, my heartbeat has not calmed down, and the audition is over." She looked back at the commotion through the glass door, "Lance is really strict, he seems to be able to see through you at a glance, I ...... I don't know. The girl's words seemed a little messy, and she was still sorting out her thoughts, "But, I think I still have something to gain, and I need to settle it down." ”

As he spoke, the staff in front of him was already opening the glass door, "The next batch of ten people please come in, and the boys stop at the door." ”

"Good luck!" The girl gave Eren a thumbs up and a tired smile.

Choose one out of 1,200. Alan could clearly feel the sound of her heart pounding against her chest, nervous, but more excited, irrepressible excitement, she clenched her fists, jumped twice in place, and then walked quickly into the glass door. (To be continued.) )
