The elder Larry in the second half of the audition was very serious, and he was actually taking this opportunity to explain his understanding of the role and the performance requirements.

“1234，4678……”

After the adjustments, Song Ya now stands slightly behind Ashley Judd, showing a clumsy side when she teaches dance, and occasionally revealing a secret retreat of inner activity, with a slight disdain and mockery of her stereotypical dance. But when Ashley Judd looked at him, he immediately became serious again, and accurately expressed the boy's emotion of not missing any opportunity to be handsome in front of the girl he liked, and the other party turned his head and immediately received an admiring look from a goddess who secretly observed it closely.

In terms of dance moves, he adapted the modern dance danced by Ashley Judd into a free-spirited version of street dance according to the original film and Anne Fletcher's design.

"OK, good." After the clip that has been repeated several times, Old Larry finally gave some affirmation, "Ashley, your performance is very good, but please note that the heroine's performance in this scene must have a sense of passage, from the beginning of teaching dance seriously, finding the dissatisfaction and helplessness of the male protagonist's random dancing behavior, and then to the slight satisfaction after the two of them gradually became proficient, and in the final stage, it is necessary to show interest in the street dance danced by the male protagonist and a good impression of the male protagonist." ”

"But in the script, the heroine hasn't broken up with her ex-boyfriend at this time." Ashley Judd picked up the script that was placed in the chair and flipped to the front.

In this play, the heroine will not show any real love for her ex-boyfriend, the heroine is in college, almost a school flower, and her ex-boyfriend is a star in the school, so they are together, just like a common necessity on campus. Girls can't figure out whether they really love this person or not at some point, so they have to show this confusion in several scenes with their ex-boyfriends, as well as the feeling of being a perfect couple in front of people, but far away from his heart...... Okay, that's a long way off. ”

Old Larry said: "In short, this dance scene condenses the process of the relationship between the female protagonist and the male protagonist gradually warming, it is fast-paced, so the sense of performance must be strong, and it must be too natural." Let's take a break first. ”

"Okay, wait a minute." Ashley Judd walked around the corner and worked with the assistant who helped with the script, to speak and brew emotions.

"APLUS, your performance is less difficult, but please also note that your expression lacks layering, for the male protagonist, inspiration is a key element throughout the play, and you can't relax at any time."

Old Larry said to Song Ya again: "The male protagonist is born in the slums, not highly educated and idle street people, he has the consciousness of trying to get rid of this life, but lacks the ability to make up his mind to change, in this dance, he is actually not able to fully learn the female protagonist's dance moves, part of his mocking smile is really disagreeing with this more stereotypical art form, and the other part, there is no self-protection to hide his ability or the level of effort is not up to standard." ”

"Self-preservation?"

"Yes, everyone must find a reason for their own inertia, and the male protagonist's rejection of modern dance is also the same for a reason, he is afraid that after hard work, he will not be as good as the female protagonist, and the slum environment in which he lives is also ridiculed for those who work hard towards mainstream social behavior, so he found a reason for himself, that is, he does not like modern dance, and advocates the free expression of street dance." Larry Sr. said.

"But the male protagonist really likes hip-hop." Song Ya said.

"But if you want to succeed in the dance industry, you still have to have certain basic skills." Anne Fletcher added: "The difference between the two same abstract painters, one who can do sketches and classical oil paintings very well, who just likes and chooses to use abstract art for expression, and the other who is not good at all, can only use abstract paintings that ordinary people can't understand, and the difference between the two is very big." ”

"This is the script you made, your story, you should be able to grasp it." Larry Sr. said: "The male protagonist finally started to really work hard, and he completed the process from hip-hop to modern dance and back to hip-hop." In short, your performance should have a sense of layering, the male protagonist wanted to dance out completely according to the female protagonist's movements at first, but after he found that he couldn't do it, he immediately gave up and switched back to the street dance he often danced, and used his disdain for modern dance to hide his inertia. ”

"This is the same as the male protagonist's best friend, his strength to play professional basketball ......" Song Ya also began to try to dissect the character.

"It's baseball, it's been changed to baseball." Yeremov reminded, "The male protagonist's sworn friend has basically finalized Adam Sandra." ”

"The male protagonist has the strength to play professional baseball, but he is afraid to work hard for this goal, so he uses the slum children to have no chance to justify his inertia." Song Ya continued.

"It's not an excuse, it's a reason, and people always have to find a reason for their actions." Old Larry nodded: "Many people don't even realize the hypocrisy and deceptiveness of this reason, because self-reflection and denial are difficult and painful. It's easier to find a reason to convince yourself and continue to wander the streets, have fun with your friends, and stay in your comfort zone for the rest of your life. ”

"Of course, this reason for convincing oneself is not without its validity, and the children of the poor do need to put in more effort to be successful, and if they do try, they will not necessarily be rewarded."

"Because there is a certain truth to this reason, the male protagonist and his sworn friend are both trapped in the quagmire of self-deception and can't climb out. They actually realize that they are deceiving themselves, and they don't want to continue to wander the streets and continue to live by petty theft, so they actually know that they have to change, but it is difficult to change, and it is difficult to face their hearts. ”

"It's not a compliment to play the complexity of this kind of person to APLUS, you have a talent for acting." Larry Sr. repeatedly emphasized, "Layering, layering in expressions and movements." ”

"I see."

I have watched the original movie so many times, and he also led the writing of the script, of course he knows the character of the male protagonist, but it is difficult to perform it in just one scene and clearly convey it to the audience. But no matter how difficult it is, you have to do it, and you can't always have a narrator about your mental activities.

He also went to think about the script for a while, "I designed an action. He put forward the new idea, "After the male protagonist found it difficult to dance the female protagonist's dance moves in place, his expression became a little irritable, and he tried again, but it didn't work, so he was even more annoyed, and simply took a few steps back, staring at the female protagonist who was still teaching the movements from behind with his hands on his waist, until the other party looked back at him, he immediately switched back to his usual state of indifference to everything, and danced the familiar street dance. ”

"Yes."

After getting the affirmation of Larry Sr., the audition continued. Both of them have made improvements, the heroine played by Ashley Judd first corrected once when she saw him dancing hip-hop, and after the correction was fruitless, she had to continue to practice together with a helpless face, gradually, she was attracted by this new form of dance expression and the movements of the male protagonist, and the dance became more and more tacit, and the female protagonist slowly recognized, and a smile began to appear on her face.

"Very good, very good, here for today." Finally satisfied, Larry Sr. looked at the time and loudly announced the end of the audition.

"Well done." She politely praised Song Ya, walked to Old Larry and the others to chat for a while, and said goodbye and left with the assistant.

"The double-sided Ruby at the beginning of the year is likely to help her win the Chicago Film Critics Association Award for Best Newcomer."

Yeremov said, looking at her back.

"Indeed, the acting is very good." Old Larry nodded.

"After all, she is a famous actress, one of the most promising rookie actresses in Hollywood." The casting director also chimed in.

"Newcomer? She's older, isn't she? 68 years. Song Ya was afraid that they would change his mind, so he immediately said.

Everyone looked at the casting director, thinking that he was about to explode again, but they didn't expect to change his sex this time, "Indeed." The casting director stated.

"By the way, the Chicago Film Critics Association, will they help when my movie comes out? After all, I'm also a Chicagoan. Song Ya asked.

The Chicago Film Critics Association is a professional film critics' organization second only to the Los Angeles Film Critics Association, with less than 40 members, but its influence is not low, and there is a great god Roger Albert, who has a personal column in the Chicago Sun, also has a film review show on PBS TV, and is also a Ph.D. at the University of Chicago and a visiting professor of a film course, but unfortunately rarely comes to teach, Song Ya has never met this famous alumnus on campus.

"Don't think about it, they prefer art films to the film critics associations in Los Angeles and New York, Spike Lee's kind, don't mess with them, they won't have anything nice to say about a commercial youth revue." Yeremov interrupted his fantasies.

"Okay, I'll go get some rest." Song Ya takes the opportunity to find Amy and Tarraghi.
