Chapter 668: Kevin Spacey auditions
"There were only four actors in the final round of auditions for the second man, and there were originally five, and Bill Moree's asking price was too high, so it was ......"
While waiting for Kevin Spacey's efforts, Yeremov kept whispering to Song Ya to 'make up the lesson'.
"Bill Morey? The host of Saturday Night Live? ”
Song Ya thought for a moment, "The starring role of that groundhog day?" ”
The plot of that movie has an impression, a news host lives the same day repeatedly, and all the jokes and tears come from it, which is wonderful and touching.
"Yes, fifteen million cost, 70 million box office, that 93-year movie did well, Bill Murray has played a lot of well-received supporting roles in the past two years, but he and his agent think that the role of the second male in this film is almost equal to the double lead, so they insist on asking for the salary of the protagonist who is in line with his position, and did not negotiate with Mr. Linton." "Director Scott didn't want to use actors who had acted in too many comedies, because on Saturday night, Bill Murray was deeply impressed as a comedian, and he was admittedly bad-tempered and very difficult to work with," Yeremov said. ”
"Okay, I got it."
Bill Murray is very famous and has a good box office appeal, it is estimated that the main reason is that the money cannot be negotiated, Song Ya nodded, "What about the other four?" ”
"Kevin Spacey was introduced by David Fincher to audition, he just finished playing his Seven Deadly Sins, he also won the Tony Award for Best Actor, he is a very strong actor, the youngest of the four actors in the final round of auditions, and the most photogenic......"
"Sorry, I'm not late, am I?"
As Yeremov was introducing, a very magnetic voice came from the doorway, and the two looked up and saw Kevin Spacey, a ...... Although it is written on the resume that he is thirty-five years old, he looks like a white man who is only twenty-seven or eight years old, and compared to the real photo, he does not look very much like Councilor Underwood, and Song Ya can't see that the other party will be GAY who harasses other young actors, he has big eyes, and his smile is manly and charming.
"No, Kevin, you wait first."
Because it's a big director Ridley Scott pressed the lineup, President Linton is a very tight project, the casting director of the cat-and-mouse game is much less powerful than the nasty ghost who danced out of the first part of my life that often disagreed with Song Ya, and most of the time he is an invisible tool man, "You know which part of the audition will be performed today, right?" ”
"Yes, I got the audition script."
Kevin Spice, who was wearing a simple shirt and trousers, replied and shook hands, "Hello, Director Scott, Mr. Linton, Mr. Yeremov, hey, APLUS." ”
He is very familiar with bumping fists with Song Ya.
"Hello, Kevin." Song Ya also knew that a guy like Hollywood was very good at watching people put off the dishes, and harassment couldn't harass him, so he smiled at each other very kindly.
"Agent Shay, is your waist okay?"
This guy has made a lot of preparations, and it is estimated that he has already mixed up with Joseph Shea in the first few rounds of auditions.
"It's always been like this......" Joseph Shay began to chuckle with him.
"Mr. Linton." A staff member came over and whispered a few words to Linton.
"Uh, Jude Law was a little surprised for the time being, so ......"
Linton rubbed his eyebrows a little helplessly, presumably Jude Law didn't want to play for the guy who harassed him.
"Call Edward Norton."
Ridley Scott said that it is estimated that the idea of letting Jude Law play was made by him to take care of his fellow British countrymen, but he didn't expect this accident, and his attitude towards Kevin Spacey was a little cold.
"A newcomer with great acting." Yeremov introduced Edward Norton to Songya.
"It will take about forty minutes for Norton to get there." The staff went out and made a call and later replied.
"I can wait." As if it wasn't his business, Kevin Spacey sat down in the chair across from the casting table and flipped through the script.
"The follow-up auditions will be postponed...... the casting director looked at the bigwigs in embarrassment.
"I'll do it."
Zack Schneider volunteered to play the play, and as an assistant director, he estimated that he had read through the script countless times.
"Okay." Linton nodded in agreement.
The audition passage is that the protagonist Abagnell was accidentally encountered by the second male FBI agent in the hotel, and then he was eager to disguise himself as an intelligence agent one step ahead of the FBI, and the competition between different law enforcement agencies does occur when the jurisdictions of various departments in the United States often intersect, and the second male who is good at detecting financial fraud cases does not have the experience of being on the front line and the criminals face-to-face, so he was really swaggered away by the protagonist.
“FBI!”
Kevin Spacey put on a pair of glasses that matched the temperament of the second male intellectual, and then gestured with his hands into a gun, took a few deep breaths nervously at the invisible door, and then rushed into the 'hotel room' with a shout.
This guy is really powerful, and he expresses the second man's emotions of being bold by yelling for his inexperience.
Then he swept around the house with a gun, and found no one, and Zack Schneider looked at the script and imitated the action of pulling the old-fashioned toilet drawstring.
“FBI!”
Kevin Spacey immediately panicked and pointed his gun at him, "Get out of the bathroom!" Get out of the bathroom! ”
"That's the new FBI electric typewriter." Forget about each other's acting skills, Zack Schneider continued to read the male protagonist's lines and walked towards him.
"Put your head in your hands!"
Kevin Spacey continued to order, but his constant backward footsteps betrayed his fear of criminals, and Zack Snyder continued to read the line, "Hand on...... Shut up! He also continued to warn, but in the face of the chattering suspect who was more calm than himself, he was already flustered and incoherent, "Put your hand on the ...... Put it on your head! Put it down! Drop it! ”
"Take it easy!" Zack Schneider reads: "You're late, okay?" I'm Alan, Barry Allen, a MI agent, and your suspect was just about to jump out of the window, and my companion just arrested him. ”
"I don't understand what you're talking about......" Kevin Spacey's mood changed, the volume and tone of his speech changed, and he began to doubt himself.
"Do you think it's only the FBI that is hunting him? Come on, he's tampering with government checks, and we've been investigating him for months...... Can you please stop putting the gun in my face, really, it makes me a little nervous......"
Zack Schneider.
"Let me see your papers." Kevin Spacey still didn't let his guard down, but the muzzle of the gun was raised a little, aiming at Zack Snyder, and said in a deep voice.
"No problem."
Zack Schneider made a gesture of digging his pockets and throwing his wallet, "Take my wallet with me." ”
According to the script, the male protagonist's wallet is the style with snap buckles, which is difficult to open with one hand, Kevin Spacey even performed this, because the other hand was going to hold the gun, and his free hand vividly imitated the embarrassment of trying to open the wallet with one hand but couldn't open it through finger movements, and his attention was diverted at the same time, and the muzzle and gaze were detached from Zack Snyder.
Song Ya looked back at the original performance of Tom Hanks in his mind, emm...... Or Tom Hanks is a little spicy, the actor is embodied with the movement of his hands and chest, which is more realistic, people do this in life, such as when one hand holds food and the other hand wants to draw something from the wallet......
"Look, look out the window......" The protagonist uses a blind man who is being supported by someone on the side of the road outside to lure him, causing him to mistake the blind man for a suspect, and the one who is supporting him is the protagonist's 'colleague' from the intelligence bureau.
Kevin Spacey believed it and put the gun away, "I didn't expect the Intelligence Bureau to be watching this case as well." ”
After he and Zack Schneider exchanged a few more lines, the liar protagonist in turn asked him to see his documents, and he happily gave them.
"If you come five minutes early, you can catch a ......," Zach finished reading his line and made a gesture of pushing the door out.
Now Kevin Spacey is the only one in the room, "Ho, the intelligence bureau hehe......" He began to be afraid of the first arrest he had just experienced, he sat down in his chair, kept taking deep breaths, laughing at himself, and then focused on the non-existent wallet, opened it, and found that there was no intelligence agency agent ID at all, it was the wallet of the liar protagonist Abagnell himself!
He didn't want to believe all this, frantically rummaged inside and out, and finally suddenly realized that he had been deceived in person, and rushed to the 'window', "Hey! Shout at the protagonist who has already run to the side of the road, but it is too late, "Oh! Oh God! He angrily slammed his wallet to the ground, and the audition ended.
"Very good Kevin." Linton and Ridley Scott both started applauding, "Very good performance. ”
Song Ya and Yeremov also applauded, and the play was really good.
Kevin Spacey crossed his hands on his hips, lowered his head for a while, and walked out of the last period of irritable emotional release just now, but when he raised his head again, he was a little depressed, "I think I could have performed better, if it was a professional actor who played just now......"
"I'm sorry." Zack Schneider smiled apologetically at him and returned to his seat.
"But it's still good, that's it, Kevin, we'll let you know when the result is out, or we'll add another round of auditions, anyway, let your agent wait to be notified." Linton said.
"Okay, thanks."
He squeezed out a smile, shook hands with everyone again, and left the casting room.
"Acting is no problem......"
Everyone communicated, "It's just that the appearance doesn't quite match the original character of the detective, in this play, Agent Shay is a bit of a rival and a father to Abagnell, if this character and the male protagonist can't close the age gap, the plot of his suggestion that the FBI release the protagonist from prison to help investigate forged checks is not very credible, and the picture does not reflect the sense of father and son." The casting director said on a case-by-case basis.
Ridley Scott nodded slowly.
"What do you think, Joseph?" Linton asked Joseph Shea.
"This kid always feels a little evil to me, it's just a personal feeling." The old FBI said.
"Maybe he played a homicidal villain in David Fincher's movie, so it's not a big problem that he hasn't completely stepped out of that role for the time being." Yeremov said: "An actor like him will definitely be able to adjust when the cat-and-mouse game starts." ”
"APLUS, WHAT ABOUT YOU?" Linton asked Song Ya again.
"It's much better than my acting skills anyway."
Song Ya raised her hand in surrender, "And I haven't watched the previous rounds of auditions, so I don't have a reference object." ”
"Then let the second auditioner in, he's ...... Joe Pesci. Linton read as he looked at the schedule.
