Chapter 13 Borrowing the Wind to Make a Breakthrough (2-in-1, 5K, Asking for Recommendation Votes)

After learning that the key factor in breaking the time loop was not as far out of reach as he thought, Roland directly threw the breakfast analysis before the cycle into the trash.

"From Deleting the Library to Running Away"?

"From Getting Started to Giving Up"?

Now that he has the opportunity to enter the industry, he still thinks he is upright!

Even if he really wants to be the pig on the tuyere, he has to pay attention to priorities.

The most important thing at the moment is to verify that Garnetty's message is correct.

"The next small goal is to impress Chris Columbus during the audition process."

"As long as the other party can speak up at the audition, it proves that there is no problem with our analysis."

"Not only that, but I can also audition and try to talk to other guys."

"Working hard to get into the circle? Hiss...... How do I feel like I'm Starlight? ”

Thinking of the little beauty who worked hard day and night, hoping to become a super seven, but on the day he entered the circle, he saw the darkness of the circle and felt the evil heart of the deep sea, Roland shuddered.

'How did I suddenly think of this?' ’

Is it because my face is more handsome than Leonardo? ’

Looking at Roland, who was caressing his cheeks and showing a little nervousness, David, who had been waiting for him to reply, coughed.

"Roland, what are you doing?"

"I don't understand what you're saying?"

If you don't understand, you'll be right!

If David knew who Starlight was, he would have had a lot of fun!

Roland, who was in a good mood, regained his previous relaxed appearance, without the meaning of explanation, casually scolded, and uncovered the whole topic.

As a man of action, he did not hesitate, and after dinner, he couldn't wait to go home and sleep.

As soon as the eyes closed, the same dream came again.

The music sounded, and the fifth New Year's Day had arrived.

Find a pen and paper and write down the number of days in the cycle and the current goal.

Roland didn't want to fool David and at the same time let himself be blinded.

Unlike the previous four cycles, with a clear goal, Roland is now full of energy.

Went to the gym, trot on the treadmill for forty minutes, and then snuggled into the bathroom, showered and brushed his teeth.

Energetically accompanied James to breakfast, poured five bowls of musli in the surprised eyes of the other party, and then took the opportunity to respond to David's proposal, follow the other party, and then come to Fox.

For the fifth audition, Roland's attitude has been corrected.

Looking at the four people behind the audition table, Roland smiled, took the lead in saying hello to each other.

Except for John Hughes who 'doesn't care about things' and Chris Columbus who wants to take care of things, the other two audition directors who really do things are all women.

After seeing Roland's kind smile, Jane Jenkins, who was wearing glasses, glanced down at her resume, and then showed a surprised look, "Roland Allen?" You came with your uncle—along? ”

It is a well-known thing in this realm for guardians to bring their children to auditions.

There is no other reason, the main reason is that after the child is selected, the guardian needs to sign and agree to the contract before the crew can really employ people.

Of course, it's not uncommon for them to come on their behalf, but the reason why they put the audition date on January 1 is mainly because today is a rest day, and adults and children have time.

“Yeah。” Roland certainly knew the meaning of the other party's words, because of the question, he had heard it five times.

"To be precise, he is my adoptive father in the legal sense."

Most adoptees will change their names to father and mother after establishing a clear legal relationship with the adopter, but in the case of the Olsons, it does not apply at all, Roland can shout whatever he wants, bring the honorific title of uncle, they can accept it, and they don't care if they call the aunt by name, not only that, but when introducing to the outside world, the couple did not claim to be Roland's adoptive parents, they felt that Roland could become an independent individual, and was willing to cultivate him in this direction.

"Adoptive father? You are...... Raised in an orphanage? ”

Hearing this, another audition director, Janet Hilson, frowned.

Adopt young children, sell them, buy children, and squeeze them clean.

This situation is all too common in America.

The Tennessee Children's Home scandal is not an isolated case, but it is just another case that has not made such a big fuss.

Janet Hilson, who has been in the casting line for more than a decade and has seen many adoptive children auditioned by their adoptive parents, usually lowers her psychological expectations before she starts with these families with ulterior motives.

Even if these adopted children behave okay, they will just get stuck in the first round.

The regular crew doesn't want to deal with these people, in case they run into those shameless guys who come to extort money, the problems faced by the crew will be a big deal, you know, the group of guys from the Child Protection Association will not care who your investors are.

"No, my parents, were killed two and a half months ago, last October, San Francisco."

Roland understands Janet Hilson's worries, and the reason why he wants to mention his adoptive father is to throw his identity blocked by his resume in front of everyone, "The family that adopted me is my parents' friend, Olsen. ”

"Olsen?" Jane Jenkins pushed her glasses, her words full of interest.

"The guardian on your resume, David, is Ashley's father?"

Janet Hilson followed Jenkins' words and asked directly.

Bingo!

That's what Roland wants.

During the first few auditions, because Roland felt that Macaulay's position could not be shaken, he only nodded rigidly in response to the initial questioning.

But after finding a way, his identity as being adopted by the Olsons became the key to the topic.

He wants everyone in the audition room to notice him.

The reason is also very simple.

Because the previous audition was not called an audition at all.

Whether it was Roland's own personal experience or the audition process he heard from his 'old friend' Leslie, he found that the people in front of him were simply here to play at home.

Introduce yourself, ask about your preferences, show your talents, pack and leave?

What is this called an audition?

It's not professional at all, okay!

You don't let the young actors read their lines to the camera and make expressions to the camera, so how do you test whether the young actors have a sense of the camera? Is an audition that doesn't even test the sense of the camera called an audition?

This is even funnier than Dousen getting the heroine through an audition!

In fact, it doesn't matter if you are an adult or a child, as long as you enter the audition process of the crew, the basic process will not change: without the confidence and courage to face the camera, you will not be able to film, and a restrained guy will never appear on the stage of the annual meeting scheduled for Teacher's Day, let alone wear a punk-style costume and dirty braids, and sing Wang Banbi's "Blooming Life" there.

Of course, the bigger reason why you can't go on stage may be because you're not handsome enough.

The vast majority of actors, early in their careers, face countless failed auditions.

Only in the process of constantly trying to run in, can you find a sense of familiarity that you can have a chance to enter the industry.

Because the camera will magnify everything, the fleeting embarrassment in real life will be an eternal flaw on the screen, if you can't even solve this point, the crew still wants you, then there is only one possibility.

The director's surname is Fang and he is facing a warning from Shen Jiang.

After several auditions in a row, the camera didn't turn on, and with the black material that Garneti shook out, Roland had already guessed how fierce the struggle for the protagonist really was—this kind of behavior that could be forcibly erased even by the normal process made him helpless.

If it weren't for the audition team's performance being too weird, I wouldn't have given it a chance at all.

Roland also didn't want to be like Professor X, shooting a bullet that would turn around, so as to achieve the goal of saving the country by curves.

When he threw out his identity, the effect was also obvious.

In the previous auditions, John Hughes, who had never communicated with him, suddenly clasped his hands and leaned back.

"The little guy of the Olsen family? Who introduced you? ”

The sudden inquiry surprised Roland a little, he thought that after throwing out his identity, the Columbus director who wanted to find a new person would ask directly, but he didn't expect that it was John Hughes, whose rights were hollowed out, who spoke first.

Looking at that curious face, the strange Roland did not hesitate.

"Aunt Garnetty told me that the news of the audition was from director Howard Storm."

"Howard Storm?" John Hughes has a low left eyebrow and a high right eyebrow.

Although the expression was very funny, Roland did not smile.

After a moment of silence, he announced a person's name, "Is Robin Williams right?" ”

"The invitation to audition was sent from him."

John Hughes turned around and turned to look at Chris Columbus.

Perfect!

Even if the guy who asked was not director Columbus, the situation in front of him made Roland very satisfied.

Everything is going on in an orderly manner according to his vision.

How did Robin Williams become popular?

Isn't it just that he and director Howard Storm made "Merck and Minty"?

What is Robin Williams doing now?

Isn't it just tinkering with Spielberg about "Captain Hook"?

Although Roland doesn't know Robin Williams, let alone Howard Storm, but—

Does it matter?

It doesn't matter at all!

Because he just needs to state that the Olsons are his guardians, and that his audition opportunity was obtained from Howard Storm, and that's it!

Because of the rest, these people will gradually dihua! Think for yourself!

Howard Storm and Robin Williams are good friends, and Robin Williams is now working on a new project with Spielberg.

And Chris Columbus invited two supporting actors through Spielberg, thus getting Fox's investment......

When this relationship chain is stretched, there is no need for Roland to say it himself, the four people on the scene can understand the meaning!

Roland Allen, the Jews on the other side?

Sorry –

I didn't say that, Roland.

You made it up in your own brains.

Feeling the probing eyes cast by John Hughes, Chris Columbus, who had not spoken, was a little confused.

He did ask his friends to help him find the right children, but—

Roland Allen's name, he's never heard it at all!

This is a new good seedling from Robin Williams, because there are so many things that I haven't talked to him?

Hiss –

Now Robin not only has to prepare for "Captain Hook", but also continues to impact the Oscar with "Dead Poets Society".

It's very likely that he'd forgotten about this little thing, right......

Chris Columbus and John Hughes looked at each other for a few seconds, and their thoughts turned sharply, but they didn't show half a point.

No one could guess what the other party was thinking, and while they retracted their gaze, they focused their attention on Roland.

Looking at Roland Allen, who was dressed in a black jacket, the words and untimid eyes were remembered by them, Columbus's forehead was slightly offset, and the audition director who got the idea immediately got up and turned on the camera.

Although Columbus didn't know the specific situation, Roland had already reported his home, so he would definitely not fool those children at will like before-

"I won't say much else, let's get straight to the point."

"You just said that your parents were killed in San Francisco two and a half months ago?"

"I'm sorry about that."

"Because I now want you to be able to make a painful and sad expression in front of the camera."

Good!

Roland threw out all the news just for this moment.

If you don't even have a chance to face the camera during the audition process.

Then you will never succeed.

I can't take the first step, so why talk about winning the role!

Put away the excitement in his heart and face the camera calmly, Roland at this moment directly regarded the deep darkness with flashing lights as a friend-

Although in various film and television dramas, for the truth of the story, unless the director has special requirements, the actors will not look at the camera at all, but during the audition, it is common to make expressions to the camera and mobilize emotions to the camera.

Although all kinds of gossip are proving that Chris Columbus wants to train inexperienced newcomers, Roland will not take this kind of thing seriously, in his opinion, what director Columbus wants to look for is a genius with his own sense of camera, he wants to make his movie as perfect as possible, in this case, if Roland is really the same as a newcomer, it is death.

Therefore, he did not recall the audition memory when he entered the industry, but stood there with a lonely expression and a sloppy look.

And when this slightly sluggish expression appeared, the four people who had already classified it as related households frowned at the same time.

Roland in the shot, as if he had been hit by a drop in the head, lost his soul.

It was as if he had learned a shocking news, and the grief that poured out made him stunned on the spot.

Helpless, he is like a drifting duckweed, and it seems that with just a light touch, it will collapse in an instant.

As for the common feeling of "I'm filming" for non-professional actors?

The lens is Roland's old friend.

The old friend who cruelly told him bad news.

“Ok……”

"Read this dialogue."

"There are no new words, you should understand them."

After a brief silence, Chris Columbus personally stood up and handed the script to Roland.

Let him invoke other emotions and then make expressions?

There is no need.

Staring at the camera performance, the test is the actor's camera state, and the invocation of emotions belongs to digging deep into the inner part of the character, and now it is not filming, he will not talk to Roland, and John Hughes will not have the patience to listen to him.

After taking the lines, Roland glanced at it twice and guessed the movie clip.

This is the plot of the film, at the end of the film, before the decisive battle of the thief, the protagonist goes to the church on Christmas night and talks to the strange old man of the neighborhood.

At this time, the protagonist Kevin already has a heart of remorse, and he in the script reflects a maturity far beyond his age.

This plot is very much in line with Roland's current state.

Because of the script, it is clearly marked, Kevin's mood at the moment is very sad.

Roland stared at the script, quickly memorized the lines on it, it took about half a minute, and the simple sentences were memorized by him, while putting down the script, he still maintained a depressed appearance, and his low voice interpreted his remorse at the moment, "I've been annoying people lately, saying things that shouldn't be said, and my performance this year is really not good." ”

took a deep breath and sighed slowly, and the feeling of being a young man suddenly emerged.

Skipping the words of the supporting opponent, Roland continued to say to himself, "I'm sad, I really love my family. Although sometimes they say that they don't love them, and even think in their hearts that I don't love them. ”

Shrugged his shoulders, a sense of helplessness reappeared, "Especially my relationship with my brother." ”

“Cut。” However, before Roland finished acting, John Hughes was the first to call a halt.

He looked at Roland with a strange expression, "It's okay." ”

was suddenly stopped in the middle of the performance, and this situation was naturally encountered by Roland in his previous life.

Although he didn't know what was wrong with him, he didn't dwell too much on it, but stopped taking advantage of it.

However, just as he handed over the script, he found that Chris Columbus had put a tick on his resume.

Not only that, but it seems that he intended to let him see the evaluation he wrote, and while taking the script, Columbus also very accidentally touched the resume with the comments on it.

'I have a strong sense of camera, far more than my peers, but when I recite a monologue, I speak a little fast, maybe a little nervous. ’

I see—

Roland took a deep breath and whispered in his heart.

Although he used to be an actor, there is still a certain gap compared with those actors.

In addition, I haven't filmed for a long time, and my skills will inevitably be a little rusty.

What's more, since he left the circle, he has been commenting on movies, and the cheerful style of the commentary is also related to the speed of people's speech, and it is not surprising that he brings out those bad habits now.

But it doesn't matter, he has time to practice.

Today's audition was his first attempt after he had a clear goal, and he didn't think he would be able to do it the first time.

For him, it is important to make sure that Chris Columbus has the right to decide, knowing that the other party will help him after Dihua.

That's a lot easier.

Nodding his head in thanks, he obeyed the other party's instructions and waited outside for a while.

When Roland sent the other forty-nine away, the bespectacled casting director walked out and told him that he was in the second round.

The second round?

The second round was actually the biggest defeat for Roland, who was a traverser.

However, when I think of the 50 to 1 elimination rate under the power struggle, I think of the cheating environment that doesn't show the background and can't even be seen by the camera.

Roland is still very satisfied with this result.

Unfortunately, the time loop required him to do it in one day.

He simply didn't have time to go to the second round of auditions.

Even so, he smiled and thanked the other party.

After returning home, David also told others the news that Roland had passed the preliminary examination.

"Baby, come and give Auntie a kiss."

Although the original intention was to let Roland have fun, after learning that Roland had passed the first attempt, Garnetty hugged Roland and happily pecked him on the cheek.

"Wow, Roland, you can!"

"I didn't expect you to make it past the first round? You were chosen one out of fifty people? ”

"Awesome!"

Although James was bored in the crew of "Full House of Youth" for a day, when he learned the news of Roland's election, he directly clenched his fists and hit him on the shoulder a few times.

He was really happy with Roland's success.

Not only that, but Ashley and Mary, who had been stuck all day, also clasped their hands and cheered him on.

"Brother Roland, you have to work hard to film!"

At the age of three and a half, they didn't know how to celebrate, but the smiling cheeks moved Roland a little.

Looking at the guys who were happy to celebrate themselves, Roland smiled happily.

He—

It's a pleasure.

Because several people in Olson's family are sincere to him.
