Mark walked out of the office, and he couldn't help but be stunned by the hot scene, the chaos in front of him was in stark contrast to the major behind him, and a messy brain slowly woke up. At this time, Mark realized that under the bombardment of Lance just now, his whole person was led by the nose, not only did he not have the space to think independently, but all his reactions fell into the control of the other party.

This audition was a disaster, a complete disaster.

"Mark, Mark......" A shout from near and far pulled Mark back from the other side of the canyon of thought, and when he looked up, he saw several of his colleagues coming up, "Oh, Kate, you're here." Cole lets you in, you're next. ”

Kate looked at the loss on Mark's face, and her heart couldn't help but tighten slightly, this is not a good omen. Kate wanted to open her mouth to ask about the content and situation of the audition, but Mark's bad state made her not know how to speak, and Neil, who was standing next to her, made a voice, "What kind of audition is it?" A simple sentence condensed everyone's curiosity and doubts, and Kate couldn't help but stop and looked at Mark expectantly.

Blank, the brain is blank, in fact, it is chaotic to the extreme, and then it falls into a complete blank, it feels like a chaotic ball of threads, and it is impossible to sort out the clue at all. "Uh......" Mark muttered for a moment, and then shook his head involuntarily, but the only impression in his mind was those blue eyes, and the casual look mastered the rhythm of the performance, "A crime movie, but it needs to be taken seriously, it doesn't seem to be a simple commercial movie." Mark has done his best to recall, but it's not an easy task.

Kate knew she couldn't get any more information, so she had to take another step - Cole was waiting for her inside. I walked to the office door, took a deep breath, and was about to open the door when Mark's voice came from behind, "Kate." She turned her head away, "Focus!" Kate watched Mark's blank gaze harden and nodded with a smile as she realized that this was a key message. Knocked on the door, then pushed the door open and walked inside.

Inside the office, Cole had come to his senses, as if he hadn't been affected in any way, and said with a smile. "You think his fundamentals are solid enough."

Lance raised his eyebrows slightly, Cole was really sharp enough to sift through the vast amount of information that was most powerful for Mark. Lance felt the need to deny it and nodded, "It can be seen that his time in the troupe has not been in vain. ”

Objectively speaking, Mark's performance is restrained and steady, with few small movements such as eyes, mouth corners, shoulders, and fingers, but he can accurately express his feelings and doubts in panic. The anger in the midst of irritability, which is shown in guò details, can already be seen in the outline of his performances in works such as "The Children Are Fine" and "The Fox Hunter".

However, Mark is still not mature enough, and the rhythm of his performance is slightly monotonous, and it is easy to be disrupted by his performance; At the same time, in the process of performance, Mark was not committed enough and not deep enough, and soon broke away from the framework of the performance, returned to reality, and then lost control.

The role that Lance auditioned for Mark just now is second only to Vincent and Max. Detective Fanning. Fanning was one of the first to discover Vincent's actions, noticing that people in the city were dying unexpectedly and that everyone could relate to Felix, which led him to attempt to round up Vincent. Let the shape shì become more and more chaotic.

Lance took a fancy to Mark's basic acting skills and thought that he could do the role, so he made a trial. But the results did not meet expectations.

"However, his biggest problem is himself." Lance simply judged that Cole was about to explain to Mark again when there was a knock on the door. When I looked up, I saw a tall woman with outstanding temperament walking in with neat steps.

The charm of sassy and gentle instantly attracted the attention of others, and the upright posture and graceful steps perfectly blended the feminine femininity and the heroic spirit of the man, like a thorny rose in full bloom, which is eye-catching.

Although with the advancement of time, British actors have achieved more and more success in Hollywood, Kate Winslet, Keira Knightley, Helena-Bonham-Carter (Helena-Bonham-Carter) gradually entered the public eye, and people have given them titles such as "English Rose"; But time flies, and Kate Beckinsale has always been the best spokesperson for "English Rose".

In fact, in terms of movie results, Beckinsale is not outstanding among a group of British actors, but her cold and glamorous temperament that secretly combines classical and modern perfection is an eternal beautiful landscape, and the status of a goddess has been the same for ten years.

Lance didn't expect that the "Kate" brought by Cole would actually be this unforgettable English rose. Sure enough, Cole has always positioned "Murder with a Knife" as a criminal commercial film, which is also the inevitable result of information misalignment - this is the huge advantage that Shirley occupies.

Kate's long legs walked up to Lance with graceful steps and showed a polite smile, "First time we met, I'm Kate Beckinsale, it's a pleasure to meet you." ”

"It was an unexpected surprise." Lance didn't stand up, just reached out and grabbed Kate's right hand, "Who would have thought that not long ago we were competitors, but today we are in a cooperative position." If the paparazzi arrive here, it is estimated that the scene will be extremely lively. ”

This innocuous ridicule once again brought up the box office fiasco of "Van Helsing", but Kate didn't feel uncomfortable, but couldn't help but want to chuckle, "It's better to be like this." "The subtext is that today's cooperation is best achieved smoothly.

A short sentence made Lance feel Kate's wisdom, and it was clear that the English rose, who graduated from Oxford University, had more than just looks.

Lance nodded, "Then why don't we start right away?" Cole sat next to him and watched the scene quietly, without interjecting, obviously pleasing to see it. Now, you're a strong woman trying to argue with me about a topic without falling behind. Lance watched Kate sit down, didn't give her much time to rest, and spoke directly.

Kate subconsciously turned her head to look at Cole, but Cole didn't say much, just shrugged her shoulders and motioned for her to focus on Lance. Turning her head, Kate saw Lance's ready eyes, and immediately understood the meaning of Mark's last sentence.

"So, I don't think you're a good fit for the role." Lance's first sentence caught Kate off guard, and she was actually rejected before she even started.

However, Kate reacted immediately, and it was part of the audition. Thinking back to the years after "Pearl Harbor", Kate's eyes became firm, "I don't think so. As an actor, I can fight, act, and fall in love, I have a qiēsu zhì, and the only thing I ask is that you give me a chance to show. Since Kate didn't get any background information, she didn't know anything about the character, only that it was a crime movie, so it was difficult for her to get her hands dirty.

Lance lowered his eyes, a hint of firmness flashed in his eyes, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, "If I need a vase, then you have absolutely no problem, but ......"

Before Lance could finish his words, Kate interrupted directly, "So you think I'm just a vase?" Lance raised his gaze and looked at Kate in surprise, his eyes flashed slightly, but his eyebrows always maintained an unwavering stubbornness, "You must know that there are many kinds of vases, only for ornamental, with historical precipitation and significance, and with special purposes. If you don't give it a try, how do you know if it's right for you? ”

Lance raised his eyebrows, his tone was unhurried, but he had an undeniable strong momentum, "Because I need a powerful person with excellent acting skills?" And not a vase for any purpose? "No disdain, no ridicule, no contempt, just unquestionable professionalism.

Kate only felt a huge pressure on her shoulders, and she couldn't even look Lance in the eye, so she had to lower her eyes, then take a deep breath, take another deep breath, and then continue, "Well, you must have overlooked my experience performing in London's West End." I may not be Meryl Streep, but I think I'm worth a chance to try it, and maybe you can feel the unexpected surprise. ”

Lance didn't speak directly, but looked at Kate seriously. Kate's dark pupils were full of unflinching perseverance, and he could faintly feel the timidity trembling slightly in the depths of those eyes, but she hid it well, and her facial lines were completely tightened, showing a sassy that did not let her eyebrows go, and her delicate eyebrows frowned slightly, and actually leaked a trace of tightness to the extreme, even if she faced Lance in the way of hitting the wall hard, she did not fall behind at this moment.

"So, you win this opportunity, then, you have thirty seconds." Lance took a step back suddenly, so that Kate couldn't help but be stunned, but didn't react, about a second later, Lance couldn't help but chuckle, breaking the tense atmosphere in the office in an instant, Kate only felt like a spring breeze, Lance's bright eyes were like the morning sun penetrating the clouds, bright and clear.

Just as Kate was trying to say something, there was a knock at the door, "knock", interrupting the rhythm in the office, and all three of them couldn't help but look towards the door, and then the office door was pushed open, and Albert poked his head in with a strange expression, and then said "sorry" to Cole and Kate, and then said to Lance, "You have guests." After a pause, he continued, "I mean, a lot of guests. ”

What's going on here? (To be continued.) )
