Looking at Lance's absent-minded and casual expression, Mark had to force himself to close his eyes again, otherwise he didn't know if he would directly vent his inner feelings, and then it would be really out of control. However, Lance obviously didn't intend to let Mark continue to be stable, but sneered softly, "So...... Without? ”

The contemptuous tone made Mark finally unable to hold back any longer, and his voice was gradually getting out of control, "What! ”

Lance raised his eyebrows slightly, and said with an innocent expression, "I'm just asking, is that all you auditioned for?" ”

This innocent look finally broke through Mark's last line of defense, and the words in his chest rushed straight out of his throat without any scruples, "Audition? You call this an audition? Throw out an inexplicable proposition, a story full of loopholes, without any leverage for performance, and then let me perform directly? What's worse is that you're still there to disrupt the rhythm of my performance, putting on a non-caring appearance that you are simply contemptuous of my performance! ”

In the face of Mark's anger, Lance raised his eyebrows slightly, and instead of getting angry, he turned his head to look at Cole and raised his tail note slightly, "Newcomer? ”

All of Mark's anger froze in an instant, and the surging insult made him barely look up. In fact, anyone who has been rolling around in the circle knows that this is the case with almost every audition, with a thousand strange audition methods, absent-minded staff, and a hundred interview results...... Only newcomers will not be comfortable with such an audition.

But apparently, the three people in the office at this time knew that Mark was not a newcomer.

Cole was also a little embarrassed by Lance's taunt, but he didn't apologize, but looked at Lance with wide eyes, "You didn't give us much time to prepare. ”

Lance pouted, "You didn't give me much time to prepare. ”

Cole spread his hands and expressed helplessness, as if to say, "We're even?" But Cole knew it wasn't possible. And then he said, "Give him a second chance? ”

Lance shook his head and chuckled, "No. I've got all the information I need to go. Then he put Mark's profile on the table.

At this time, Mark finally came to his senses, but in the face of Lance's ignorance, he still felt a sulk in his heart. Although he can only be regarded as a second-tier actor in the circle, no one can deny his strength in acting - there is no discount after ten years of polishing. Today in front of Lance, he looks fragmented and discarded. This is indeed unacceptable.

Compared with Lance's rookie director, Mark is more concerned about the fact that Lance ridiculed him from the height of his acting skills, which is his profession and his self-confidence, which is unacceptable. "But......" Mark's voice broke free of his throat impulsively, but when he said it, he realized that he was out of control, so he took a deep breath and adjusted, and then tried to speak in a calm tone. I mean, what information did you get? ”

Although his tone was calm, the fluctuating eyes still revealed the true feelings in his heart at the moment.

Lance thinks this is a very interesting thing, after Mark won the attention with the image of the Hulk in a series of movies such as "The Avengers" - including before, Mark's external image has always been relatively healthy and positive, with a mild attitude, and rarely overly aggressive language, even if the Hulk is full of violence, under his interpretation has added a touch of bookishness.

However, Mark in front of him did not only look immature. And there is obviously something wrong with the situation. Obviously, there are so many things that can be changed by time, and it becomes interesting for Lance to look at this qiē from the perspective of the future at the present point in time.

Lance let out a soft breath. In fact, he didn't intend to explain, because he didn't have to, to hire or not to hire, just to sue Sù Cole, and that was enough. As if he had an "acquired" audition, he didn't think he needed to explain the details of the audition to everyone - because he didn't have that much time. And these people have nothing to do with him.

Today, however, is clearly a special situation. Lance looked at Cole, stretched out his right index finger, and made a "one" gesture, his eyes were meaningful, as if to say "only this once, not for example", the glittering gaze made Cole chuckle lightly in his heart, and then exhaled softly.

"First, your acting skills are very solid, even if you were distracted just now, your eyes and lines are still in place; Second, your performance is too rough, and the difference in heat is too big; Third, you are not professional enough, you can belittle my ability, but at this time I am the interviewer, and the person who has the right to make a decision is me, even if you don't want to star in this work, since you have already appeared at the audition, then this is a platform to show yourself, and you should pay enough attention to it. After all, you're not Sean Penn or Tom Hanks, are you? ”

Lance simply said a few words, almost every time he said a word, Mark wanted to interrupt, wanted to stop talking, but Lance didn't give him a chance at all, and then continued, the endless but concise words made Mark unable to continue, looking at Lance dumbfounded, unable to say a word of rebuttal.

"Uh......" Mark groaned, turned his head to look at Cole, as if he wanted to ask for help, but he couldn't say why, so he could only look back at Lance again, muttered for a while, and squeezed a sentence out of his throat, "Not enough heat?" What do you mean? Mark's chaotic brain finally calmed down a little, "In this scene just now, you didn't give me much room to play at all, just trying to let me play a policeman/detective, this is not my specialty, I didn't do my research beforehand, how could I have a good performance!" ”

Lance looked at Cole helplessly, this time he was not more tolerant, and said directly, "When did I become the acting teacher of your actors?" I charge a lot of money for classes. Cole thought Lance was joking, and smirked, but Lance was serious.

Lance looked back at Mark, "Just from this question, you can conclude that either you didn't pay attention to today's audition at all, or you are a terrible actor. One sentence stabbed Mark to the heart, "There was so much information in that scene just now, obviously you didn't analyze it." First, confusion, this policeman/inspector is also ignorant of what is happening on the scene, he is also full of questions, looking for answers, this is his job, and it is also the point of your performance; Second, be careful, I just left a lot of clues, the blood stains on the ground, the height of the fourth floor, and the absence of a body at the scene, which proves that the informant could not have jumped off the building by himself, and it is very likely that he was murdered, and the lack of traces of a fight at the scene also adds more mystery to the case, which also makes things complicated, which is an important entry point, and you can ask questions. ”

Mark was already dumbfounded, he had just completely missed these details, a seemingly clueless hypothetical scenario, but there were countless details. To the uninitiated, this is nothing more than a reasonable speculation; But for insiders, this is an important information to shape the character, and the different ways of coping with the same situation are actually the embodiment of the character's personality, in other words, just now Lance left him a huge room to play, let him create a police / detective with the characteristics of "Mark Ruffalo", which can be irritable, careful, cold-blooded, or boring...... But, he missed it all.

"Thirdly, and most importantly, helplessness and anger. As your colleague, I have always been indifferent to the case, and I have not paid enough attention to it, and even focused on my own idle business, and on the one hand, you feel angry, hoping to attract my attention and persuade me to join the study of the case; On the one hand, I also feel helpless, because this is the cruelty and helplessness of society, and I think that even if I work hard, the final credit will go to the FBI, so I don't want to contribute. ”

Lance's words not only stunned Mark, but also Cole who was sitting next to him was very surprised, everyone knows that Lance filmed "City of God" and "The Day After Tomorrow", these two works show Lance's control of rhythm and the excavation of deep thoughts, but almost no one knows that Lance has such an accurate judgment of acting.

In that seemingly unremarkable reaction action, it has already taken on the role of a character, and at the same time inspired Mark's performance. Cole felt strange, usually Lance is not like this, and usually Mark is not like this, but under Lance's careless attitude, Mark is gradually irritated and finally out of control.

Now it seems that all of this is done by Lance on purpose, and he tries to help Mark into the play - and Mark does take the place of love, but alas, Mark's own carelessness and haphazard waste such a good opportunity, and does not show any details of the character at all.

"You've failed all but the first." Lance's last words sentenced Mark to death, seeing Mark open his mouth and seemed to want to defend himself, but Lance shook his head, "If you don't want to star in this production, then you can completely turn around and leave, staying here is just a waste of time." Mark opened his mouth again, and Lance smiled shallowly, calmly but irrefutablely, "You need my explanation, but I don't need yours." ”

Immediately, Lance ignored Mark's dead face and turned to look at Cole, "If your actors are of this level, then I think it's going to be a tough day." ”

Cole pretended to be calm and smiled at Lance, "Don't worry, you won't be disappointed." Then Cole patted Mark on the shoulder, lowered his voice and said, "Go out and see if Kate arrives, and if she does, let her in." If not...... That's Neil. ”

Mark didn't look up at Cole either, just stood up and shuffled out of the office in frustration. (To be continued.) )
