Chapter 4: The Old Emperor and the New King (1)
Just then, a strange-looking white man walked downstairs.
It is strange because he has a typical pig's kidney face, two figure-eight eyebrows, obvious nasolabial folds, and the corners of his mouth are unnaturally pulled down, as if everyone owes him eighteen million.
He tried hard to squeeze out a smile, but it made that face look even more weird.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I'm the casting director, John. Papasidera. He made a welcome gesture to everyone, "Today's audition will be conducted by me and another director, Lucinda, and there will be a representative of Warner Productions present, in order to express the transparency of the audition, you are welcome to send three representatives from the Ministry of Transportation to watch together." β
The Japanese young man who had spoken earlier stood up, straightened his straight suit, and looked around, but no one had an opinion.
Then, an old man and a middle-aged woman also stood up, smiling politely at John and nodding their heads.
"Guys, it's time, please." John showed a "wry smile" and went upstairs first.
Lin Xiao also stood up, and suddenly, the young man's face turned dark.
He was just 1.7 meters, compared to the other party's 1.80 meters tall, he suddenly looked a head shorter, and he wanted to wait for the last to go in to show his identity, but at this moment he snorted coldly and took the lead in walking upstairs.
Ken Watanabe also stood up, smiled at Lin Xiao again, and went upstairs behind the three of them.
After Lin Xiao went up, the second floor was already surrounded by five or six tables, leaving a large open space in the middle.
There's no reason why it's that simple, but it's that simple.
This is the simplest and most expensive blockbuster audition Lin Xiao has ever seen.
βOKγβ A black woman stood up from the table, her fat lips a little purple, and handed over a stack of papers.
"Gentlemen, this is your script, we have prepared the props, and you have ten minutes to experience it. Ten minutes later, we will begin our auditions. β
Suddenly, the whole room fell silent.
Ken Watanabe and Lin Xiao didn't look at each other again, and from the beginning, they entered the script.
Lin Xiao just took a look at it, and his heart couldn't help but flutter.
Action Scenes! It's actually an action scene!
He glanced at Ken Watanabe quietly out of the corner of his eyes, and keenly caught that the other party's brows were furrowed extremely slightly, but they immediately relaxed.
This scene is the scene of the fight between the master ninja and Batman in the attic.
No dialogue, it's all action!
He is young and strong, but Ken Watanabe, it is not easy to shoot action scenes, and the torture of two illnesses can be regarded as leaving a root in his body, which he has a great advantage!
However, the other party's famous work is "One-eyed Dragon Date Somasa", "three times brilliant than" the last samurai. "Even if you can't do it physically, that kind of grasp of the samurai atmosphere can be described as everyone!
Strengths!
"Wait a minute, we'll have a stuntman." Lucinda propped up a pair of extremely plump flesh bullets on the table, and there was a sly smile on her fat black face, "Of course, the other party is holding a soft plastic sword of the same thickness, width, and length as the sword, gentlemen, you also use this kind of weapon." As for the effect to be expressed, I don't think we need to say much. β
"It's an action scene." Among the three people from the Ministry of Transportation, the woman frowned slightly, "This is very bad for Watanabe-kun." β
"Not really." The young man cautiously whispered, "Watanabe-kun made his debut in this way, and if there is one role he has played in his career, it must be a samurai." I think that this time China's Lin Jun is in a very bad situation. β
"I agree with Hayato-kun's meaning, Lin Jun is too young, and he doesn't understand the essence of bushido, this audition, his hope is really not big."
They were talking, and Lucinda and John were whispering.
"John, which side do you think is more likely?"
John's bitter face became even more bitter, like the root of Coptis chinensis, bitterly trying to wring out water.
"I feel like it's Mr. Watanabe." After thinking about it for a long time, he said truthfully, "Mr. Watanabe became famous very early, and his acting skills have been affirmed by Europe and the United States, which is his rare advantage, and this is the local spirit of the other party, and it is the type he is best at." In contrast, physical ailments are not problems. β
"In particular...... "he broomed his eyebrows and quietly swept over the three Japanese who were sitting precariously in the audience" The representatives of the Ministry of Communications came, and they couldn't invite Director Nolan, and their hearts were already uncomfortable...... The Shinkansen takes a long time to shoot, and they have to stop for as long as we shoot...... They haven't approved it yet, isn't that clear? Maybe Mr. Watanabe has already taken over as the spokesperson for the Shinkansen...... There is still a lot of contact with the Ministry of Transport, so even if the director doesn't think about it, we have to take into account the Japanese side......"
"So...... Mr. Lin is hopeless? Lucinda shrugged, "Well, it's pretty much what I guessed. However, it is said that it was recommended by Director Ang Lee, and he has a good personal relationship with Director Nolan, so he wants to sell face. β
"Just let him go through the motions, Mr. Ang Lee has already established himself in Hollywood, and he can't look up and see him, so he can't let him say that we are too impersonal...... Director Nolan is impersonal enough......"
Fifteen minutes passed in a whisper, and Lucinda snapped her fingers and smiled and said, "Gentlemen, are you ready?" β
Lin Xiao and Watanabe Qian both nodded lightly.
Even now, Lin Xiao felt that he was not without a fight.
The kind of self-confidence accumulated over the past few years and accumulated by hundreds of millions of Chinese people is impossible not to be timid!
"Then, Mr. Watanabe, please prepare first."
Lucinda lifted her chin two layers, and a white assistant held a soft knife and handed it to Watanabe.
Ken Watanabe stood up, waved it casually, and said with a smile, "The iron handle and plastic blade are much lighter." β
John said with a bitter face, "Mr. Watanabe, this is an audition ......"
"I know." Ken Watanabe's voice was very good, with a hint of hoarseness in the depths, "It's time to start." β
βOKγβ Lucinda and John glanced at each other, and John looked at his watch, "One minute audition, 3, 2, 1, go!" β
The audience was silent.
As soon as the beginning of the beginning fell, everyone, including Lin Xiao and the extras standing opposite him, felt a subtle difference.
At this moment, Ken Watanabe did not use the knife immediately, but stood in front of the door in front of him with the knife, as if he was going to cut himself in two, and the expression on his face was like a pilgrimage.
Japan is a country where bushido is the spirit, and everyone can be said to have touched a sword.
Bamboo knives, katanas, toy knives...... There are special clubs, and almost everyone has gone through this kind of cultivation from a young age.
At this moment, Ken Watanabe became different.
It seems to have returned to the era of the one-eyed dragon Date Somasa, and man is a knife.
He's going to cut open the world with this knife!
Sharp, cold, wise, all kinds of emotions, derived from a subtle movement, a small look, give people infinite reverie.
Lin Xiao's eyes lit up.
The layman looks at the bustle, and the insider looks at the doorway.
At this moment, Ken Watanabe's eyes are extremely focused, and there is only this knife in his eyes.
Even Lin Xiao, who was not standing opposite him, could feel his special feelings for the knife.
Knuckles, maybe someone didn't notice, but if they did, they could find that they were innocent colors!
It is prepared to cut out with a knife that is indomitable, and the whole body is exhausted!
His cheek muscles trembled slightly, and his eyebrows didn't move from the start.
At this moment, he seemed to have the grandmaster demeanor of Yanagi Shizhouzhai when he carried forward the new Yin Stream of Yanagi.
However, he is just an entertainer who entered the club when he was a student!
"Good!" Just a starter, even he couldn't help but applaud.
John, Lucinda's eyes lit up.
They don't understand the history of Japan's Warring States period, but Ken Watanabe in front of them, although he is wearing a suit, gives them the feeling of standing proudly in the midst of thousands of troops, and he really has the demeanor of a ninja master.
Suites, katanas, but no discord.
Just then, the extras on the opposite side moved.
"Ah!!h He shouted, raised his knife and slashed at it with all his might.
The other party is a practitioner.
That's what everyone thinks in their hearts.
This knife is fierce, without dragging mud and water, indomitable, and without timidity.
Of course, the action must be slowed down, otherwise the action scene will not be filmed.
However, Ken Watanabe did not make a hard connection, but shook his body, turned in a circle, came to the back, and stabbed him backhanded.
Flowing clouds and flowing water, butterflies wear flowers.
βVERYGOODοΌβ This time, Lucinda and John couldn't help but tap lightly on the table.
It's a conflict.
Clash of styles.
In front, Ken Watanabe embodied a master's demeanor, and everyone thought that as soon as he made a move, it was an earth-shattering and earth-shattering sword.
However, this is not the case.
His movements are light and elegant, like an empty valley and an orchid, without the fireworks of the world, although it is still in slow motion, but it expresses this artistic conception.
The man, majestic, master, and the current knife path form a great contrast, and the ending is a strong visual impact.
It also caters to Hollywood's curiosity about the mystery of the East!
"Grandmaster demeanor!" The young man pushed his glasses again and sighed, "Watanabe-kun is worthy of being a genius in Japan, and in fifteen minutes, he can actually combine two styles of using knives into one audition." Nolan doesn't choose him, who does he choose? β
"Amazing, not to mention whether he uses a knife well or not, there are many people in Japan who know knives. But breaking through from this angle in ten minutes is really unthinkable. The woman next to her also muttered.
"Hehe, that Chinese Lin Jun is miserable, the Nolan crew really takes us into account, Zhuyu is in front, I'm afraid he will give up directly."
At this moment, Ken Watanabe's knife path changed again, opening and closing, and each knife seemed to use all his strength.
He has completely entered the role, and even Lin Xiao sighed with emotion when he entered the play so quickly.
"Drink!" "Ahh "Yikes!"
Every time the knife is swung, it carries its own hoarse shout, like a killing god in the midst of thousands of troops.
What's more, his gaze never changed.
There is no fierceness, but calm!
Indifferent butcher!
"The face of the king!" Lin Xiao finally couldn't help but speak, "What a strong opponent, in just a few seconds, so many things can be combined!" β
