This man, tall and athletic. Especially his face, square, resolute and masculine, such a face is born to be an actor.

What's more, his limbs are very flexible, and his gestures when he speaks are quite tasteful.

"I'm Victor Ferro." Victor looked at the man with a grin.

"You're Mr. Filro!?" The man was taken aback, looked at Victor, and stretched out his hand: "Mr. Ferro, it's an honor to meet you!" That movie of yours is so wonderful! ”

"Hehe, thanks for the compliment." Victor shook hands: "What do you call it?" ”

"Oh, Ronald Wilson Reagan."

"Mr. Reagan, hehe...... Wait, what do you say your name is? Victor was stunned for a moment.

"Ronald Wilson Reagan." The man was a little proud when he saw Victor taken aback: "Hehe, I have starred in more than a dozen movies in Warner Studios before, although they are all supporting roles, but it is still a bit surprising to be able to let Mr. Ferro know that he is cheap." ”

"Oh." Victor smiled stiffly.

Your mother! Who cares about your shitty dozen movie supporting actors!? Looking at the person in front of him, Victor couldn't help but laugh.

This man, Ronald Wilson Reagan, will be the 40th president of the United States in the future!

In American history, Ronald Wilson Reagan is definitely an outlier.

This guy, before he entered the political arena, did almost any, sports broadcaster, lifeguard, newspaper columnist, actor, lecturer...... He has a rich resume.

However, what makes him most famous is his background as an actor. He is the only president of all presidents who has been an actor.

Ronald officially stepped into the showbiz in 1937. While working as a California baseball spring training announcer, he auditioned and was offered a seven-year contract with Warner Bros. Reagan's clear voice, carefree style, and athletic size made him quite popular with audiences. But most of his roles are B-movie actors, far from Hollywood superstars, and by 1940, he had played in 19 films.

Later, Reagan turned to television, and his grades were tepid, and he later entered the political arena, from congressman to governor to president, and finally achieved positive results.

Reagan in front of him, but the 40th president in history is still far from it, just a little star.

"Mr. Reagan is here for an audition?" Victor asked.

"No, I'm not here to audition, I'm here to act." Reagan laughed.

When this guy speaks, when he gestures, he has an irresistible intimacy. No wonder he was able to become president later.

"Damn, are you quite confident?" Leo hates this kind of self-righteous person the most.

"I've starred in almost 20 films, I have the advantage of this, I can play any role!" Reagan said solemnly.

"Let's talk inside." Victor took Reagan into the office, and while the two were smoking, Victor pointed to the list of actors posted in the office: "What role do you think you can play?" ”

On the list, there are all lists of supporting roles, and many of them have already been determined.

Reagan's gaze swept over it, shook his head, and said, "I think these characters are too small." “

"Small?" Victor smiled.

This guy is really not fucking crazy.

"Yes! I want to be able to play a role with a lot of scenes! Reagan laughed.

Victor decided to take a good hit with this guy's madness, turned around and dug out the script, pulled one out of it, found a scene, and handed it to Reagan.

"You show me this play."

This scene is a rivalry between the killer and the clerk in "No Country for Old Men", the killer asks the clerk to guess the front and back of the coin in his hand, and if he guesses wrong, he will kill the clerk, the clerk knows nothing about it, and after talking to the killer, he guessed correctly, and the killer was very sad and principled to give the clerk the coin that he has always regarded as a treasure.

This scene actually seems simple, but it has a lot of connotation. The first is the nameless tension in the play, which must be performed, and secondly, to show the unique character of the killer, although the killer is **, but he has his principles, and he will never start if he guesses, and more importantly, the killer also has his cute side, when the clerk put his coin in his pocket, he stubbornly told the clerk that the coin was 25 years old, and I don't know how many places I have walked and how many people's hands have been experienced, it is different from any coin, if it is put together, it will be drowned.

This scene is a scene that shows the multi-faceted nature of the killer, which is very important for the fullness of the character.

Reagan looked at it, obviously attracted by the content, memorized the lines for a while, and put it down coaxingly, "Okay! Come on! ”

Victor stood in front of him with a smile, and the two played against each other. Victor plays the clerk and Reagan plays the killer.

With his head held high, his waist crossed, Reagan said those lines to Victor with his usual charming and hearty smile, and from time to time he performed them with the movements he was good at.

"How?" Reagan was confident in his performance: "How many points can I score?" “

"Fail." Victor shook his head.

"What!? Fail! Just kidding, I've acted in 19 films......" Reagan was furious.

"Even if you play 190 films, you can't pass it." Victor shook his head.

"Why!?" Reagan was not convinced.

"Because of your current level, you are not a qualified actor at all." Victor said: "What is the most important quality of an actor!?" ”

"Acting. Can act. Reagan thought for a moment.

"Wrong!"

"What else can it be if it's not acting? Aren't actors acting!? Reagan said.

Victor looked at Reagan sadly: "The most important quality of an actor is the ability to discover different worlds. Acting is just one way. As an actor, you must have the ability to integrate into the role, this ability does not mean that you perform, but that you can really enter the heart of the character! It's like borrowing a corpse to bring a character to life, and make the audience move, laugh, fear, and sigh for it, which is what an actor can do. And this is still the general ability of an actor. If you want to become a superstar, become a master performer, these are not enough, you have to build your own inner world, a poetic world, this world is like clay, it is vast, deep, all characters can grow from this clay! This is the real actor! ”

Reagan was stunned when he heard this, but he was still unconvinced: "Don't talk about these falsehoods, you say, why did I fail this scene!?" No one ever said I was failing! ”

"Take this scene, for example. This ** killer, I'm not making you handsome, I'm not making you look so charming! This is a ** killer, he is cold, black-hearted, and has all this decisiveness and ruthlessness that a killer can't script, but, at the same time, he is also a lovely person, and even a person who keeps a childlike heart. This is not a symbolic figure, but rather delicate. Your performance is too exaggerated, you think a bright smile and large movements will do, but it doesn't get into the heart of the character. Victor said as he narrated the play to Reagan and performed it himself.

Reagan looked at Victor and said nothing.

"Ronald, here in Hollywood, relying on personal charm, relying on a good face There are many stars on the top, the audience likes it, the box office is good, these are nothing to say, it has the rationality of existence. But these, in Legendary Films, will not appear, the first element of our casting, is the connotation! It's the ability. Victor smiled: "You just said that you don't want to play a small role, in fact, I tell you that in a movie, there is never a difference between the size of the role." Because of the length and lens needs of the movie, it must focus on telling a story, the story of one or two people, but have you ever thought about it, all the characters who appear in the movie can actually use it as the protagonist to shoot a movie with their story. It's like you're walking down the street, it's crowded, and other people are no different from you, you can't say that in this world, you are the most important, you are the protagonist, you know? ”

"Real actors will never despise any role, they will always respect the role, even if they are given a second to appear, they will restore a person's world! If you don't understand this, you will always be a failing actor! ”

Victor's words made Reagan, who was originally coaxed by a bull fork, droop his head and completely deflated.
