After Lin Mingyang finalized the final plot of "The New Spider-Man", director Sam Raimi began to be busy looking for the right actor. Lin Mingyang, who just came out of a casting turmoil, didn't want to give others the impression that he liked to "point fingers" everywhere, so he didn't express any opinions on the selection of other actors in "The New Spider-Man". Although he has been "avoiding suspicion", Sam Raimi still arrested him as a "strong man" when he auditioned for the actor, and the other party's reason was that in the choice of roles, the screenwriter's ideas have high reference value.

The audition site for the film "The New Spider-Man" is actually a small theater, with the lights only shining on the stage and the audience being pitch black. Lin Mingyang also groped in the dark for a long time, and finally found his seat in the middle of the front row because he saw the glow of Sam Remy's glasses.

"As an actor, this shouldn't be the first time you've walked into an audition." Sam Raimi took a bottle of mineral water from the seat next to him and handed it to Lin Mingyang.

"It's the first time I've sat under the stage." Lin Mingyang looked around curiously, "Is the light here a little dim?" ”

"You can't see the audience, and the people performing above can be more relaxed." Sam Raimi didn't explain more, he slapped his face and motioned to the staff on stage that the audition could begin.

At the top of the list is a brown-haired girl who has a lot of acting experience, but it's all in small roles that aren't well-known. The makeup on her face is a little bright, I don't know what director Sam Raimi will say, but her first impression of Lin Mingyang is not good.

She imitated a passage from a classic stage play, but only halfway through the performance, Sam Raimi interrupted her:

"This young lady, I take the liberty of asking, how old are you this year?" In Western culture, it is rude to ask a lady's age, but in such a situation, there is nothing wrong with asking like this.

"23 years old!" The actress was taken aback by the sudden questioning from the audience, but she reacted fairly quickly.

"How many years of acting experience do you have?"

"I started playing roles in TV dramas when I was 14 years old."

"It's been almost 10 years." Sam Raimi sighed softly, "I give you a very sincere advice, since the first good decade of your life has passed in that obscure performance, then the next decade, maybe you should consider changing industries, frankly, your performance lacks enough attractive features!" ”

The actress who auditioned for the first audition left in a huff, and Lin Mingyang had the idea of being an "audience" this time, so he had no objection to Sam Raimi's decision.

"Do you think I was too direct when I said that?" While the second auditioner was preparing backstage, Sam Raimi chatted with Lin Mingyang.

"A little bit." Lin Mingyang nodded very frankly.

"Don't you think it's cruel to give her a hope for a future at all?" Sam Raimi shook his head, "I'm not against hard work and persistence, but only if it's in the right direction." In the actor industry, in addition to opportunities, in the final analysis, you still need some talent! ”

The next few auditioners were all rejected by Sam Raimi for the same reason, and Lin Mingyang basically didn't have to say anything. He's doing a great job as an "audience", and many auditioners don't even know that Sam Raimi is sitting next to someone.

"Am I being too picky?" In the end, Sam Raimi himself discovered this problem, and in order to let Lin Mingyang find a little sense of existence, he began to consciously test Lin Mingyang's attitude.

"From the perspective of this film, your requirements are indeed a bit high." The two heroines designed by Lin Mingyang are actually just vases in this film, but he knows that Sam Raimi has more long-term plans. In fact, Lin Mingyang "leaked" the plot of the sequel to Sam Raimi, suggesting that the other party should be cautious in the matter of casting, because in the sequel, the performances of the two heroines are no longer as simple as vases. "But since you're willing to look a little further, I'm happy to support your decision now!"

"I'm glad to be able to reach a consensus with you on this issue." Sam Raimi nodded, "I hope the next one can surprise us a little." ”

Sam Raimi was indeed "pleasantly surprised", because he was not waiting for the imaginary actor, but a promotional film for a movie that was about to be released yet. Looking at the slowly falling screen on the stage, he didn't know about this unexpected arrangement in advance, so Sam Raimi shouted dissatisfiedly at the stage: "Tony, what's going on?" ”

Tony is the assistant director of the crew, and this audition was arranged by him, and when he heard the director calling his name, he hurriedly ran out of the backstage.

"What is this for, didn't the actor himself come?" Sam Raimi was a little impatient, "If she's here to promote her new film, then she's definitely in the wrong place!" ”

Tony quickly explained: "The actor was backstage, and because there was a very wonderful dance performance in this trailer, she asked to show it to you before the audition. ”

Sam Raimi was a little dissatisfied with his unauthorized behavior, and seeing that the atmosphere was a little awkward, Lin Mingyang could only come out to play a round, "Maybe we can take a look, after all, the film needs to be a different actor!" ”

Tony cast a grateful glance at Lin Mingyang, and Sam Raimi couldn't say anything, and the resolution barely passed. Accompanied by the bright light from the projector and a burst of rhythmic hip-hop dance music, the first thing that appeared on the light screen was the name of the film's director: Billy Woody.

Sam Raimi didn't know the director, but Lin Mingyang, who was sitting next to him, was very familiar. As a well-known MTV director in the American pop music industry and winner of multiple music video awards, Billy Wooddolph has established his unique family name for music and video through successful collaborations with many star singers. If you ask Britney, TLC, and Backstreet Boys who is their most trusted MTV director, Billy Wooddorf would be their unanimous answer.

"A musical repertoire!" Sam Raimi, who specializes in thrillers and sci-fi movies, snorted softly as a sign of disdain.

"The first movie I acted in was also a musical and dance drama!" Lin Mingyang reminded him "kindly", which made Sam Raimi bear the surname.

In the energetic dance music, a brown-skinned girl appeared in the picture, and her performance in the next hot dance was full of passion but calm, with the perfect body that could quickly arouse people's enthusiasm, so that Lin Mingyang suddenly remembered her name.

Jessica Alba, a sweet chocolate beauty with brown skin and dark brown eyes, has a 5-nation half-breed ancestry, and is definitely an unforgettable stunner. At the age of 13, Alba was already making a name for himself in Hollywood, ranking fifth in Hollywood's annual "Most Iconic Movie Star" by Hollywood magazine.

"How is she?" Lin Mingyang couldn't hold back for a while, and a sentence popped out of his mouth.

Sam Raimi also recognized the girl in the promotional video as Jessica Alba, but Lin Mingyang's reaction made him a little curious, "You know each other?" ”

"There are very few men in the United States who don't know her!" Lin Mingyang used a cold humor to cover up his gaffe just now.

"Even if you say so, then this promo didn't waste our time!" Sam Raimi immediately decided: "If her next performance can maintain the state in the film, then she is the heroine in the film!" ”

Such a decision did not surprise Lin Mingyang, when Jessica Alba appeared in the promotional video, he had a hunch that this would be the result. But there are two heroines in the film, so he asks more, "Do you mean Arsene Wenger or Mary?" ”

"Do you want her to be Arsene Wenger or Mary?" Sam Raimi kicked the ball back.

"Then Arsene Wenger is good!" Lin Mingyang said his thoughts without hesitation.

"I thought you'd say it doesn't matter!" Sam Raimi laughed, "You know, in the next episode, both of them are yours!" ”

Jessica Alba did not disappoint Lin Mingyang, she chose a more dynamic backup dance song for the live-action performance on the stage, and she herself is well aware of her advantages, the black tight-fitting dance dress just shows her perfect body and seductive curves, which makes her whole performance make people feel a sense of blood.

Sam Raimi gave his first round of applause at the audition after Alba's performance, and Lin Mingyang did not applaud him, he watched Alba's performance from a quieter angle. From the perspective of pure appreciation, the girl on the stage does have fascinating capital.

According to the calculations of the research team in the United States and Canada, the golden ratio of eyes to mouth to face length of 36% and eye distance to face width of 46% is recognized as the most glamorous face, and the Hollywood movie star who best meets this criterion is Jeccasie Alba.

"I have a question, how long did you learn to dance before you appeared in that film?" Sam Raimi started asking.

"In fact, I had never taken a dance class before that!" Because dancing requires a lot of movement, the flush on Alba's face has not completely faded, and her tone of voice has some slight ups and downs, giving people a very shy feeling.

Sam Raimi doesn't doubt Jessica Alba's claims, because if the other party lies, it can be easily debunked, "Felix, see that I have found you a worthy opponent!" ”

Alba didn't notice Lin Mingyang's existence at first, but as soon as she said this, her eyes naturally followed the direction of Sam Raimi's turn, and in the darkness she vaguely saw a person sitting next to the director.

Feeling the gaze of the other party, Lin Mingyang knew that it was useless to play "stealth" again, he nodded at Alba on the stage, although the other party may not be able to see the expression on his face clearly, he still said modestly: "Dance is not my forte. ”

"You didn't tell me that just now, you suddenly became humble in front of beautiful women!" Sam Raimi quipped.

"In order to perform the dance moves in "Youth Musical" well, I spent a full month practicing."

Lin Mingyang's modesty inspired Sam Raimi, and an idea popped up in his head, "I think you should design a scene in the script where Spider-Man and the heroine dance together." ”

"Dancing on a spider web, I think it might be a bit difficult!" Sam Raimi's proposal gave Lin Mingyang a bit of a headache.

"Why not?" Sam Raimi is not a whim, "The only flaw in the plot you designed is that the plot where Spider-Man and the heroine meet is not romantic enough. I met by chance in a traffic accident, how can I think such a bridge can be worthy of your free imagination inhabiting brain? I think you need to be more creative! ”

At first, Lin Mingyang thought that the other party was joking, but as soon as Sam Raimi said this, he also began to seriously consider this question, "Maybe you give me a little inspiration?" ”

"Imagine which scene in those classic movies in the past you found the most romantic?"

"Jack is holding Ruth, who is facing the wind with her arms outstretched, and stands on the bow of the Titanic!" It was not Lin Mingyang who gave the answer, but Jessica Alba standing on the stage, although she and Lin Mingyang's thoughts coincided, but she actually wanted to remind the two "judges" in the audience not to patronize and discuss the plot, and then leave her alone on the stage.

"I'm sorry, we almost forgot, Miss Alba is still on stage!" Sam Raimi smiled, "But the topic we're discussing also has a lot to do with you!" ”

"So I passed!" Jessica Alba couldn't help but have a look of surprise on her face.

"That's understandable!" Sam Raimi nodded, and he asked Tony to turn on all the lights in the theater before announcing the end of the audition, and the person behind Alba lost the chance to be Spider-Man's girlfriend. Of course, the crew will not announce it to the public, they will arrange another time and place to notify the remaining actors to come to audition, but generally experienced people know that it is just a formality, because the selection of the heroine has been determined long before this, so few people will come again.

But none of this has anything to do with Lin Mingyang, in fact, he has been sitting in his place, thinking about the suggestion that Sam Raimi mentioned just now.

Standing on the stage, Alba finally saw clearly who the person sitting next to director Sam Raimi was, in fact, she had already guessed Lin Mingyang's identity from the conversation just now. For this Hollywood "wonder boy", Alba is naturally no stranger. She had heard a lot about Lin Mingyang's "glorious deeds" before, but this was the first time she had officially met.

Lin Mingyang, who was thinking about it, didn't mean to get up to greet her, which made Alba a little annoyed. Just as men don't want to see themselves ignored by beautiful women, women don't want their handsome guys to turn a blind eye.

Alba has a delicate beauty that makes men lose their souls, and of course, she also has a pride comparable to her appearance. And Lin Mingyang, who is indulging in thinking, exudes a deep and indescribable temperament throughout his whole person, and everyone who sees him will be unconsciously attracted by his demeanor. Feeling ignored by such an attractive man, Alba felt a little lost in his heart.
