Walking into the hall, a staff member walked over, "Here is the plot synopsis of the movie, please read it carefully, prepare a thirty-second performance by yourself, no need to introduce yourself, note, no need to introduce yourself, after entering, according to the order, directly start the performance, no need to introduce yourself!" The show is only thirty seconds, so be careful about the time! ”

Alan only felt that her palms began to sweat, and that real feeling came to her face, she knew that she should calm down, but the adrenaline rush made it difficult to keep her emotions stable. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info reflexively lowered his head, looked at the synopsis in his hand, and couldn't help but be stunned, where is this "synopsis", about ten pages of paper in his hand, almost the weight of a short film's script.

"The next group is ready to enter!" The staff's voice came through the noisy and dull hall, which made Alan look up sharply, she hadn't even started to look at it, and it was actually about to start?

At this time, the air conditioner in the hall was whirring, and the cool air cooled down the sweat on the surface of his skin, but Alan felt very stuffy, even more depressing than outside, and his nervousness was showing some signs of getting out of control. Alan knew that the whole audition went on quickly, a group of ten people, and there were only four groups in front of her, which also meant that it was her turn in the blink of an eye, but there were so many synopsis in her hands, how could she finish it in a short time? The more I thought about it, the more nervous I became, and my emotions were like wild horses that had escaped from the leash, and I couldn't hold it at all.

Taking a deep breath, taking a big deep breath, Alan still couldn't calm down, but at least his brain was already starting to rethink. She now has two choices: either she can put aside the so-called synopsis, break the shackles, and perform with her own understanding of the character, and recall the recruitment requirements on the bulletin board, rock, youth, violence...... Playing cards out of the ordinary seems to be a good option.

However, there are more than 1,000 people who came to the scene today, and it is impossible for her to be the only one who thinks so. Perhaps, on the contrary, countless people are holding such ideas and want to be opportunistic.

Either read the synopsis carefully, then find out Lance's intentions, and then do your best to perform.

"Think! Ponder! Alan took a deep breath again, she knew that Lance was a very special director, and it was clear from his work that Lance gave such a plot synopsis that could not be read in a short period of time. If it wasn't for the actor to break the routine and give up reading, then why did he do it?

With a long exhale, Alan decided not to think about it for a while, but to follow his instincts, lowered his head and began to quickly flip through the synopsis in his hand. This is indeed not a simple synopsis, the first five pages are lengthy and detailed about the background of the creation of "Fruit Hard Candy", how to read the relevant news from Japan to trigger inspiration, how to think about the punishment and containment of relevant laws, and how to connect with the church/sex/assault incidents that are still boiling recently...... To put it simply, it introduces the whole story background freely, but does not mention the story itself at all; The next three pages are excerpts from the script, with a three-minute dialogue; The content of the last two pages is different, and here is a serious introduction to the background of the two protagonists, one is Jeff and the other is Hayley.

Why? Why did Lance go to such great lengths?

Alan didn't have time to think, she thought about it seriously, and finally chose to turn to the part of the script that was intercepted, read it quickly, and at the same time read the lines silently in her mouth to strengthen her instantaneous memory, she didn't have time to worry about whether her choice was right or not, her first goal was: don't forget the lines after standing on the stage! Otherwise, regardless of whether her choice is correct or not, the performance will already be smashed.

Emma Stone stood at the end of the line, carefully reading the materials in her hands, engrossed, when suddenly a voice came from behind her, "Sorry, please keep up with the line in front?" The sound made Emma jerk her head up, and then she saw another group of actors enter the audition hall, and the line had begun to move forward, she quickly turned around to apologize, and then quickly chased after her.

Looking down at the paper in her hand, it was already soaked with sweat, and some corners had begun to grind out, which made her smile wryly. At this point, she finally understood why Lance would say that she was not suitable for the role of Hayley.

Sebastian had asked her if she wanted to go to the audition alone and not need to participate in today's open call. Not only because of her personal relationship with Lance, or because she's an artist owned by William Morris's agency, but also because she already has an innate advantage over others — she's read the entire script ahead of time, knows the story in its nitty, and has plenty of time to understand the characters, which isn't fair to other candidates who don't know anything about it.

So, she can go to the audition on her own, and then Lance will do the comprehensive consideration.

But she refused. Not because of her youthful spirit, but because she knew that she already had the upper hand, so she needed to play fair and participate in the open call with dignity - standing with all the candidates, she had a head start, which also meant that she had to perform better to really impress Lance. So, she showed up at today's audition.

Like everyone else, Sebastian miscalculated the number of audition entrants, which led to Emma standing in the second half of the line. But it's okay to really make her go through the whole process of waiting, nervousness, curiosity, and anticipation like any other candidate, and do her best to compete for the role of Hayley.

In order to show her determination, Emma also had no idea what today's audition would be. When she got the thick stack of synopsis, Emma was dumbfounded. She knew better than anyone that Lance wouldn't be untargeted, and he certainly meant something to do so, but what was it? What should she do? Even if she could put the material aside for a while and perform according to her own understanding of the script, which part should she perform? Which paragraph can really reflect your understanding of Hailey?

Originally, reading the script well in advance was Emma's advantage, but now it has become a disadvantage, shackling her hands and feet, and the countless chaotic thoughts in her mind can't be sorted out at all, should she follow the middle script excerpt to perform, or should she perform a side performance according to her own understanding of the role, or should she perform a scene that is irrelevant to the plot but closely connected to the character according to her own ideas before she set off? She greedily wanted to show all her understanding, but she found that she didn't have any clear idea, and the weight of the information in her hand was far greater than she could have imagined.

The tension and oppression at the scene made her feel confused.

At this moment, Emma finally understood what Lance meant. Although Hayley is only fourteen years old, she shows a wisdom and composure that does not match her age, first making a plan for the camp step by step, and then methodically taking Jeff to the bait, and although she is a little caught off guard when something happens, she quickly comes up with a solution and regains control of the situation, and finally succeeds in tricking Jeff. This requires not only Hayley to be smart enough, but also bold enough, and more importantly, calm enough.

She had read the script in advance and was fully prepared, but when she came to the scene, she was still caught off guard, and now she couldn't even think calmly. Obviously, she is still a big deal short of controlling the role of Hayley.

Realizing this, Emma was a little frustrated.

However, the frustration only lasted for a short time, and then Emma cheered herself up and pulled herself back together. Maybe she can win the role of Hailey, maybe she can't, maybe she's too young now, maybe she's not ready, but no matter what, she's here, she's already in this position, she's going to do her best to complete this audition, and Hailey is still the role she wants to challenge the most. Even if she fails, she will not regret it, because it will become an important lesson on her path as an actress.

So, what should she perform at her audition?

The time of waiting passed in a flash, and "next group", Emma puffed out her chest and pushed open the door in front of her with her head held high.

Passing through a narrow corridor, there was a staff member standing at the end, stretching out his hand to the stairs on the right, Emma followed the instructions up the spiral staircase, and the performance stage at the end was presented in front of her, and you could vaguely see the back of the previous group of actors leaving the stage, diagonally in front of the entire theater of empty seats, invisible pressure in the air.

Percy stood at the entrance of the side podium, with no special expression, just nodding at Emma, signaling that they were ready to appear, and then withdrew her gaze.

Emma didn't hesitate and walked forward. Footsteps creak on the wooden planks of the stage, and then you can see more than a dozen people sitting under the stage, scattered apart, and it is impossible to tell who is the casting director who has the decision; And because of the backlight, such a long distance makes it impossible to identify the direction of Lance, as if there is a black head under the stage, creating the illusion of a Broadway performance.

Closing her eyes, Emma completely emptied her head, she didn't need to think about it uselessly, she should concentrate on the performance, otherwise Lance would never show mercy, she knew it. What's more, at this moment, she is not performing for Lance, but for herself.

When the tension reached the extreme and her brain went blank, Emma calmed down instead, and decided the content of her performance in a flash. Then, an unfamiliar voice echoed in the theater, "The first one on the far left, you can start." Emma knew it was her moment. (To be continued.) )
