Chapter 687: Charis's Audition Road

The female supporting actress audition for the cat-and-mouse game only entered the later round after the crew started filming, and near Disney's studio, director Ridley Scott insisted that the male protagonist Jared Leto also participate in the casting, he has always cared more about the sense of coordination between the two sides of the supporting role, and it is best to spark in the performance.

"Letto is shorter than you, it's okay to shoot close-ups and front and back, you two will be on the left and right sides of the frame when you shoot sideways, here, definitely! Be aware of the ...... difference in height with him."

Early in the morning, Charlise Theron's fat henchman drove steadily, and Charlise Theron sat in the back seat with a white man in his early thirties, both of whom were nervous, and the man kept reminding him of various points, "You can press your elbows against the table, lean forward slightly, and keep your face at the same height as Leto." Also, you're a not-so-clever girl who likes to giggle,"

"Uh-huh...... I remembered. ”

Charis Theron kept nodding her head while carefully looking at the detailed storyboard script that Song Ya asked Yeremov to quietly reveal to her, and the director's estimate was this. Although the role of the bank teller she seeks only has more than a minute to appear, it is all a double rivalry with the male protagonist, with a lot of lines, and a big close-up of the face, which is definitely a scarce resource that Hollywood newcomers and girls flock to, and the competition is very fierce.

"It's the last round of auditions, and there's a good chance you'll win ......"

The man continued to nag, "But Leto will come to play today, you are a newcomer, it is normal to be pressed by him, don't be nervous halfway, follow his rhythm, the supporting role is to cooperate with the protagonist, let alone have the idea of competing with him." If you don't feel satisfied after the performance...... You have a friendship with Mr. Yeremov, don't you? He's definitely here today, so he should be taking care of you quietly, right? Be bold and say directly that you are not satisfied with the performance just now, and ask to do it again. ”

She has changed to one of the CAA's gold agents, Billkinsley, but her beautiful agent has hardly met a few times, and the big and small affairs are all handled by this junior man next to her, and he is also one of her co-agents in CAA.

"Yes."

Charlis also continued to nod, this guy next to her always thought that her 'nobleman' in Hollywood was Yeremov, Mr. President, A+ Film Studio, who has several projects in his hand at the same time this year, must be a big man in the eyes of Hollywood's small agents, so she has been doing her best to accompany herself to the audition these days, and she will not break it, just let the misunderstanding continue.

'Goo ......'

"I'm so hungry......," she said in frustration, "I only drank a glass of concentrated vegetable juice before going out." ”

"Your recent weight loss has been very productive, and you have lost a lot of weight compared to when I first met you, persevere! There's only a few hours left, and that character is yours! If you really can't, just eat half an energy bar before the audition. ”

The agent tried his best to cheer him up.

"Hmm."

The fat follower turned the car into the parking lot not far from the casting building, "Touch up the makeup, and help her make up again." The agent got out of the car and gave up the back seat.

"There's going to be a makeup room and a professional makeup artist." The fat attendant muttered dissatisfiedly, she was good at everything, and she was loyal enough, but she was lazy......

"Networking before the audition is also very important, maybe which big guy will take a fancy to it?"

The agent has no guilt about pimping his little artist, "You have to walk into this building in perfect condition." See? He pouted at the parking lot, "The first few times I came here, the cars were full here, and now?" The hopeful girls have all been eliminated, leaving you and a few lucky others alone. ”

Charlise didn't answer, she quietly looked out the window at the sparse parking lot, and remembered APLUS again, since the guy married one of the last female DIVAs, she called again, and was all blocked by his assistant Linda......

She remembered that Linda said that APLUS would only help provide audition opportunities, and it was up to her to decide whether she could be selected, so how much did Yeremov help in today's final round? Actually, it's because of your acting skills, right?

"Alright." The fat follower put away his makeup bag and handed her the small mirror.

She touched herself up a little, touched up her lipstick, and nodded to the agent who was waiting outside the car.

"OK, let's go!" The agent slapped his face with great fighting spirit and led the two into the building.

"Hey, Charis......"

I met another beautiful blonde girl, but her hair was darker than her own, but her smile was just as sweet, "Hello, Alan." ”

She recognized the other person's name as Alan Pongpai, who was auditioning for another female role as a flight attendant, and the two had no competitive relationship, and they met by chance when they sat together and waited in the previous round, and they could talk.

When chatting, she deliberately talked about it, knowing that the other party had no acting foundation at all, and he was not young, as if he was five or six years older than herself? I used to be just a waiter working all over New York, and I didn't know what resources I suddenly got to appear today when I only had the last round of auditions. The stewardess role she auditioned for had a bed scene with the male lead, and the competition was much more fierce than her bank teller, and there were many third-tier actresses with good acting skills among the other auditioners.

"Didn't the audition for that role of yours be scheduled for the afternoon?"

The other party also signed the CAA, and his agent was asking his colleague and colleague and friend who was accompanying Allen: "It seems to be a little too early, right?" ”

She woke up immediately, and the smile on her face froze at Allen's side, and there was a little more wariness in her eyes.

Although the other party has not received his own strict acting training, he has a lot of life experience, "I was just too nervous, I was afraid that I would be late in the afternoon, so I simply came early." She explained.

"Don't be nervous haha......"

Her agent was proud of being able to cause tension on her side, "Alan and I will pray for you." ”

"Oh, then I'll thank you first."

His agent was suspicious, and took a second look at the dust jacket of the clothes carried by his peers, the black dust jacket was tight, and it stands to reason that it should be the flight attendant jacket that the other party should change into when auditioning.

"See you later, and I wish your client the role."

"I wish you well."

The two sides took the elevator in a friendly way, and the other party left on the floor where the office area of the film company was located, and Charlise and the agent were relieved at the same time.

"That girl is very powerful, and some people's acting skills are natural." The agent said: "It's good that it's not our competitor. ”

Charlise didn't speak, because the audition room floor had already arrived.

Registered in front of the stage with the agent and the fat follower, the three turned into the corridor leading to the waiting room, where there were already three agents gathered, all of them from CAA, this time they were all real competitors, everyone looked harmonious on the surface, but in fact, there were thorns in and out of the words.

"You and your girl are late......"

Seeing himself, the three men all showed eyes that were both confused and wary, "Charis, right? A middle-aged man in a retro-style suit gentlemanly opened the door to the waiting room for her.

"Thank you." She also smiled.

"Remember what I just said." Make a final reminder by your own agent.

"Hmm." She whispered yes, and was about to enter the door, when the middle-aged man who helped open the door suddenly handed over a small package of tissues, "You'll need it." ”

"Don't use this little trick on my girl." His agent rolled his eyes.

She paused in her steps, squeezed out a smile to the other party, did not take the tissue, but twisted her waist more exaggeratedly, and took the bank clerk uniform she was going to wear when she auditioned from the fat attendant, which she spent a lot of money to find a tailor to change, and the 50,000 dollars that APLUS 'borrowed' her ...... were about to run out, no way, mixed in Hollywood, there are too many kinds of consumption, especially when you want to compete for the role, acting classes, costumes, and social ......

This time you must not fail, otherwise you still have to take the playboy photo, I am almost twenty years old, I have been suffering in Hollywood for several years, and I have achieved nothing. She has already made up her mind, and if she doesn't do it, she will simply pick a pleasing one, and she will be submerged if she is fucking dived.

"Charis, Hi!"

There were only three girls in the waiting room who made it to the final round, and she was sure that none of them were pretty, but the role didn't necessarily require a pretty ...... Well? How is it three? She remembered that in the last round of auditions and herself, there were only three finalists in total, and her eyes swept over, and the girl who was pinching her throat and pretending to greet her was eliminated in the last round!?

β€œHi……”

She hypocritically said hello to each other and found a chair to sit down, the four girls were very wary of each other, basically zero communication, and the seats were far away, she didn't pay attention to each other anymore, and began to take deep breaths according to the instructions of the acting teacher, adjust her mood, and took out the ordinary version of the line book from her bag to help herself concentrate.

The girl who was eliminated in the last round was very active and didn't seem smart, only she said, "I almost gave up, I had already bought a ticket back to Tennessee......"

At this time, a male staff member pushed the door in, and he called the girl out first, which caused the remaining three girls to hide their nervousness by changing their sitting positions, "Charis, you will enter the dressing room in twenty minutes." He said again.

"Okay, thank you." Then she was ranked second, and she threw a flattering look at the other party.

The staff did not respond, and closed the door after taking the person away.

"Not really, right? Hehe, it's just a camera assistant. ”

Another girl's sarcasm sounded in her ears, and Charlis knew that she was the most experienced of the four, and she was from a family of actors, and she should be her biggest competitor.

She ignored the other party and continued to look down at the script.

There was only the sound of paper turning in the waiting room, and after fifteen minutes she began to look at her watch non-stop, and stayed up until twenty minutes, and the door had not been pushed open, she immediately became nervous, and after waiting for another two minutes, she couldn't help but get up and push the door open.

"What's wrong?" The broker asked.

"Someone should take me to the dressing room......" she said anxiously, ignoring the stares of the others at the door, lowering her voice.

"Oh, follow me." The agent walked directly into the hallway, "Miss Theron should be ......" walked to the room with a powder room sign at the door, and there were two strong men who looked like bodyguards guarding the door.

"Giggle......

She had just heard the laughter of the girl who had gone to the audition before, and the door was pushed open, and a middle-aged white man with a small eye and a double chin walked out, "Mr. Weinstein." The agent hurriedly greeted respectfully.

It's Harvey Weinstein, president of Miramax Films, that's right, after a few years of mixing up in Hollywood, Charlis also knows his reputation from various angles, and her face turned pale and she was very sad, is she going to lose to Bichi who is sitting on the red sofa again?

Harvey Weinstein didn't speak or pay attention to her agent, he looked her up and down a few times, his small eyes seemed to be able to see through his clothes, and he paused for a few seconds before smiling and walking away.

"Don't be affected...... her agent's face was no better, and when she walked into the dressing room, the girl was touching up her makeup, "I'll call the makeup artist to ......"

"You just ......"

She couldn't hold back, sat down next to the girl, and inquired.

"It's nothing, Harvey is a good ......" the other man smiled, then packed the cosmetics into his bag like a proud rooster, and walked away with a roll of his eyes.

Changing into a bank clerk's uniform and nervously letting the makeup artist fiddle with his face, the third auditioner also came in ten minutes later without any conversation.

"Miss Theron, are you alright?" The staff pushed open the door and the probe came in.

"Alright."

She narcissistically said to the pretty face in the makeup mirror, "Charis, you can do it!" Then he took out the air cleaner and sprayed it in his mouth, and got up and set off.

It's actually messy in the casting room, "Director Scott, hi Jared......"

She tried to distinguish everyone, director Ridley Scott huddled behind a large professional camera, the photographer sat on his right hand, and on a high folding chair on his left, the handsome Jared Leto crossed his legs like a young master, looking at himself with admiring eyes, "Mr. Linton, Mr. Weinstein, Mr. Yeremov......" The other big names were sitting behind the long table, she greeted everyone she knew, and her smile was as sweet as possible, and her heart sank again when she saw that Yeremov did not respond at all.

"Need I give you a few more minutes to prepare?" The casting director asked.

"Okay, I'll be fine right away." She took a deep breath again, took out the script and looked at it twice, in fact, there were not a few lines, and she could recite it backwards, "It's okay." "She didn't dare to waste too much time on the big guys.

"Let's get started, Leto, or the part you said."

She immediately glanced at the relevant paragraphs, which were not complicated, and the main character of the liar in the script was already a nymphomaniac blonde fool about the process of checking circulation inside the bank.

"Miss Theron, come here." Zack Schneider shows up and guides him in position.

"Thanks, Zach." She knew that this was also an APLUS person, and she was a little more reassured.

Jared Leto stood across from her, "This girl is a little taller." Harvey Weinstein said suddenly.

"Hmm." Linton nodded.

"You can help with the table...... "Yeremov said.

There was no table at the scene, so she immediately stretched out her elbow, leaned forward slightly, and stood up, acting out the feeling of being propping up the table, her eyes at the same level as Jared Leto's eyes in front of her.

"It's okay, just act naturally." Leto smiled gracefully.

"It's time to go." Casting director reminds.

She uses her facial muscles to the best of her ability, and "the checking account numbers are printed in special ink...... mimicking the demeanor of a silly girl who is defenseless in front of her object and tries her best to express herself.

"Where are those accounts?" Leto looked at him with a smile, his eyes firing.

"In ......"

She followed Yeremov's storyboard script, held the check in her right hand, and then deliberately put it on her chest, "Here, do you see it?" He pointed his hand to the sharpest point, then took the check when his fingers were almost touched.

Leto was a gentleman, and his fingers were still a little away from the tip, and they didn't touch.

"Here, hahaha......" She let out the image-disregarding laugh of a silly girl's 'scheme' and twisted her body like a nymphomaniac, no, whining, as if she was about to pounce on the man in front of her at any moment and eat him, "it's the bank code......"

"And where do these checks end up being delivered?"

Leto also plays the feeling of flirting with girls on the surface, but in fact still calmly clichΓ©s.

"I ......"

She replied silly in a very well-learned New York accent: "I don't know, no one has ever asked me, haha, hahahaha......"

"That's it."

Director Ridley Scott just rightly shouted to stop, then looked at the monitor, cheeks and the photographer whispered to discuss, "very beautiful...... "small movements are well designed...... and other compliments came into her ears, she was in a much better mood, touched her forehead, there was already a layer of fine sweat, the performance just now seemed to drain all her energy, and now I can't recall the scene at that time and how I acted, I only know that I didn't feel too much pressure to play against Leto.

"Again?" The casting director asked.

"I'm fine." Leto shrugged easily.

"Okay......

She nodded, again engrossed.

Back in the waiting room, she was tormented and fidgeting, as if waiting for the death sentence to be announced, and the last audition girl soon returned.

She looked at the girl who had been in the dressing room with Harvey Weinstein, who was nervously squeezing a calfskin paper bag over her mouth to adjust her breathing.

"Everybody's nervous, doesn't seem like a big deal?" She mentally suggests to herself.

'Are the results out?' ''Who was chosen?'' ’

There was a rush of questions from the agents outside the door, and all four girls put down their things and listened intently.

β€œFxxk!”

Suddenly, she heard her agent burst out loud and foul language, and suddenly felt that the sky was falling, covered her face with her hands, and tears rained down on the spot......

This damn Hollywood!

"Congratulations,...... Miss. ”

The door was pushed open, and sure enough, the girl who hooked up with Harvey Weinstein was chosen, screaming and jumping up and cheering, jumping and jumping, hugging and celebrating with her agent.

"It's always like this! Always! I've been working in Hollywood for seven years now! ”

She looked through her fingers, and the unsuccessful girl from an acting family cursed and threw things into her bag, "You're fired!" The girl went out and yelled at the agent, then tapped and walked away.

The girl at the end of the day collapsed in her chair and sobbed just as uselessly as herself.

"Alright, Charis, there's no way, just accept the result calmly."

The agent and the fat attendant walked in to comfort him, "Let's go Charlie......" The fat attendant helped him get the dust bag.

"Wait, wait......" she refused to go until the girl wept and left with the agent, "I'm going to see Mr. Yeremov......" she whispered to the agent.

"Already ......"

"I want to see him!"

"Okay, follow me."

The agent's eyes lit up, and he took her out and downstairs and walked to the door of Yeremov's office, "What moves are all used, there is nothing to lose." The agent knocked on the door and hinted with an encouraging look.

"Charis? Come on in. ”

Yeremov opened the door and shut the agent out, "Uh, sorry, Harvey's old girl has to push the girl she likes." ”

"Can you tell APLUS about this? I'm already in Hollywood,......" she asked, suppressing her imminent collapse.

"Not very convenient ......"

Yeremov didn't say much, turned around and picked up a new script book on his desk, "You hurry up and familiarize yourself, Harvey is not here in the afternoon, you can change to the role of audition flight attendant, I have already said hello to the casting director." ”

"Thank you, Mr. Yeremov!"

Be unexpectedly rescued from a desperate situation!? She was so excited that she almost jumped, "Thank you!" I'll take my chance! ”

"Well, thank you APLUS if you want to, but don't tell anyone about it, if I find out you're ......showing off in Hollywood," Yeremov warned.

"I know, don't worry, Mr. Yeremov."

"Well, I'm busy, you can go. Wait, don't be too happy when you go out. ”

Today, she pushed open the door and went out, trying to behave as normal, but the corners of her mouth still couldn't stop turning up.

"No, Mr. Yeremov...... So fast? "The broker doesn't know why.

"You go and contact the casting director, and I got the afternoon audition." She whispered.

"Okay! Well done Charis! ”

The agent immediately put aside his doubts about how she had managed to do this, and trotted excitedly to find someone.

Ate an energy bar at noon, and in the afternoon she reappeared in the waiting room, "You? Alan Pongpai and the other two girls, who had been waiting inside, looked at her in surprise.

"Hey, Alan......" she said sorry to herself, squeezed out a smile at her, and sat down diagonally.

"You ......" Alan sent a 'you' several times, and Charlise observed that the facial muscles in her cheeks were trembling slightly, "You, do you want something to drink?" The other party took out a bottle of water and shook it at himself.

"No thanks." She politely declined.

"Bichi ......" The other party stopped acting and scolded directly.

She pretended not to hear, lowered her head to study the new script, Yeremov gave herself a thorough version, and she began to figure out the small movements of the character......

In the afternoon, she appeared in front of the director, the male lead, Yeremov and others......

"No, it's too high......"

Unexpectedly, after a round of performance, he was killed by Ridley Scott on the spot, without mercy.

Alan Sidepai finally gets the role, and "Bichi ......" smugly insults the defeated dog as he passes by her.

She didn't care, the conversation and noise of everyone outside was a vague buzz in her ears, and she got on the elevator like the three walking corpses of the fat attendant and the agent, got out of the elevator, left the building, and returned to the parking lot.

The setbacks she experienced today were so great that she felt that she might be depressed and needed a psychiatrist urgently......

"Charis, wait......"

At this time, Zack Schneider's shout came from behind, "Charis? ”

She looked back blankly and saw the assistant director running over and grabbing her arm directly.

He was pulled to a remote corner of the parking lot and "asked your agent to sign it." Zack Snyder stuffed a document into his hand and explained succinctly: "A drunk woman with only one line and appears for more than ten seconds, but it's not bad, the audience can see your figure and face clearly, you don't need to audition, that's all." ”

She grabbed the document like a lifesaver and burst into tears again, "Thank you Zack, woo woo woo ......"

"THANK YOU APLUS."
