"Girls, welcome to this draft! You're the first group, and I'm supposed to say something to open the show, but time is limited. ”

At 8:10 a.m., the small theater of the screening theater kicked off, and the ten young and beautiful young actors on the small stage all smiled and looked at the audience. Actually, no one wants to be in the first group, which really adds an extra layer of pressure.

Emma Stone in the middle right is peeking at Ye Wei, the real person is more handsome than the photo, the aura is too strong, only nine months older than her, but so mature, the most unique young boy in the United States, genius VIY.

"I give you a quote from the avant-garde guru Max Reinhardt: 'Leave your talent alone, first ask yourself if you have strong willpower!'"

Ye Wei's words gradually increased: "This draft is just a draft, maybe you need to participate in 100 or 1000 similar activities to win the chance to succeed, don't fall on the 99th or 999th." Let's get started! Now please show a cat. ”

The audience was silent, and when his words fell, the ten girls immediately began to perform, cat!

The eyes of the four judges were different, and the agents in the rear also observed carefully, and the next big star may be on the stage.

No one will feel disrespectful to the actor for this kind of draft, and the animal simulation method is the most basic acting exercise. It can exercise the actor's imagination, reflexes and real-time performance ability, and then defeat reason to act with nature, and study and shape the character from the perspective of animals.

On the other hand, in animal simulation performances, it can directly show the talent and reality of an actor.

However, it is very difficult to play three animals in three minutes, and it is also difficult for Hanks and Streep, but now, Ye Wei said that he would act!

And everything has to be performed standingly, and how to stage the animal in a posture becomes even more difficult.

The cries of "meow" sounded one after another, and the girls acted in their own ways, the blonde girl on the far left walked slowly with a lazy expression; the brown-haired girl next to her seemed to stand up her tail, glaring at everyone angrily, and retreated; the black-haired girl on the far right raised her right fist and rubbed her face, like a cute cat......

Emma Stone's first reaction was to look at the human cat with contempt, knowing that the key to animal simulation was to release her nature, and for a moment she let go of her thoughts and acted on instinct. She looked ahead with contempt, her body curled slightly, as if lying on the ground, motionless.

Cats will always remain motionless for long periods of time.

"No. 7 did a good job. "No. 3's posture is beautiful. "Why didn't No. 7 move?", "No. 9 has a lot of ideas. "The agents were on their minds.

The three casting directors all watched while writing down the basis of the score on a piece of paper.

Kaufman paid special attention to Emma Stone, the blonde girl in number seven, who was the best looking and professional in Group 1, and who was also the best now, although she didn't move much, but she played the cat's static demeanor vividly.

Siebold and Bethany are still in the excitement of the beginning, look at this, look at that, and find their ideal candidate.

There is no Susie in this group. Siebold thought to himself, but No. 7 can play Clarissa, and it should be.

Ye Wei calmly looked at the ten girls, it was impossible to see them all clearly, but he could see who was rising. No. 4, No. 5, No. 6 and No. 8 are not good, they are not resolute enough, and they have to think so much about even playing a cat!

The purpose of simulating animals is to get rid of rational thinking, there is no plan, there is no foresight, no dogma, theory and thinking can not be involved, the observation and understanding of the corresponding animal has long been stored in the memory and subconscious, only in this way can the nature be liberated and the essence of the performance.

And not only do they not have the strength, but they are also not fully prepared, and after knowing that the draft is going to simulate animals, haven't they practiced cats and dogs?

Each group will have a common animal, an uncommon but well-known animal, and an unpopular animal. The first is just to let the actors warm up and let the judges quickly screen for a round.

Ye Wei's eyes moved, Shi Emma's acting was okay, but it was just okay.

Everyone felt like they were almost blinking, and the clock countdown on the screen behind the girls went to zero, and one minute passed, and the second minute began.

"OK, now please play the hippopotamus. Ye Wei said.

The girls are about to change from cats to hippos at once, and this speed makes all of them superficial, the difference is how many, the seven girls all open their mouths fiercely when they hear it, 2 girls play swimming, and 1 person plays eating grass.

Emma Stone is one of those who has a wide open mouth.

Before the girls could perform much, they suddenly heard VIY say again: "A crocodile has broken into your territory!"

They were all in a hurry all of a sudden, and several people were stunned, isn't this just an improvisation? Only three of them reacted quickly, no matter what they were doing just now, they all acted fierce and brutal, and the No. 9 girl even pounced forward and tore and bited.

Emma Stone also pounced forward, letting out a low roar, opening her mouth to the maximum and then closing it at once, as if using all her strength!

At this time, the three Kaufman all saw that No. 7 was the leader of the group, and only she took into account the strength that the hippo should have when fighting crocodiles, and the others were fluttering.

"The crocodile carcass is stuck in your throat. Ye Wei said suddenly.

The ten girls responded with a change in response, almost all of them looked pained, some of them pinched their necks with their hands, some of them were about to vomit, but Emma Stone, who was most noticed by the judges, did not disappoint! She swallowed hard, like a crocodile corpse forced into her stomach, and then chewed her mouth.

It is not clear whether the hippopotamus will be like this, but this behavior is more in line with the image of the hippopotamus, which is the victory of imagination and understanding.

Kaufman's eyes showed appreciation, No. 7 is really good! The eyesight cultivated by years of casting told her that this girl's talent was not ordinary.

Between the changes in the situation, number 7 is the most responsive, with no pauses and little or no thought. Rather, it is an instinctive, real, natural reaction, which is the power that drives the behavior of animals.

The best animal simulation is when the actor performs the form, rhythm, characteristics, and nature of the animal in a coherent and unthinking performance.

The girl was a little fumbled, and the more she played, the more involved she became.

At this time, the second minute had passed, and Ye Wei said again: "OK, now please play the poison dart frog, a jungle frog that can spew deadly venom." ”

The cries of "quack" sounded, and the girls immediately turned from hippos to frogs, and most of them encouraged their cheeks to perform with a jumping body movement, or a crawling swing of hands and feet.

Emma Stone was stunned for two or three seconds this time, and only started acting a beat slower, but also encouraged her cheeks, stared slightly, and jumped forward.

This surprised the judges, and Kaufman couldn't help frowning, don't understand frogs?

She immediately figured it out, but deliberately he also noticed No. 7, this girl looks like a frog, maybe she was teased at school a long time ago, "You look like a frog", which girl would be happy to be said that? Maybe this is No. 7's heart knot, but now she wants to play a frog.

No. 7 is more like a frog, but his performance in performance is not outstanding, only not worse than the others.

Kaufman nodded slightly, already satisfied with that, good girl.

Ye Wei looked at it and wrote on the paper, "1." 3, all-suck", it's all rotten!

If Emma Stone's mind playing the frog, it means that her nature has not been released enough! Only reason can think about the relationship between frogs and herself.

But what's worse is that no one noticed a key piece of information, this is not an ordinary frog, this is a poison dart frog. Its aggressiveness, its living environment in the jungle, and the venom spray of the symbol, they didn't understand it, they were just playing a frog in the field.

How can a jungle frog croak? A poison dart frog is the size of a finger.

The frog yawned. He said again.

What a frog yawns looks like, no one knows here, and the girls can only act out human yawns, some croaking and some silent.

"OK, thanks, let's stop. There are still 25 seconds left in the countdown, but Ye Wei has already shouted to stop, and no one in the audience doesn't understand that VIY has seen enough of their not good enough performances......

The girls thought it was time for the animal simulation session to end!

"Do you know?" However, Ye Wei did not start the next link, his eyes were sharp, and every girl felt that she was being looked at by him, and he said seriously: "The reason why creatures yawn is because of the lack of oxygen in the brain. If you want to yawn well, you have to understand this. ”

He acted demonstratively as he spoke: "Just now you just opened your mouth wide and exhaled out, which seemed to be yawning, but it was very unnatural, and it was acting at a glance." ”

"In fact, you should first inhale deeply, pressing your chin down and behind until your mouth is wide open, then you should continue to inhale into your lungs, and finally you should send your breath up to your head and exhale the rest of the air. That's what yawning is. ”

After saying that, he yawned again, and in a blink of an eye, he made a long and real yawn, and the ten faces of the ten girls were a little dumbfounded.

"Willpower is more important than talent. I want to tell you that you guys were really disappointed in the animal simulation session just now, all of them. ”

Hearing VIY's words, the girls' faces suddenly changed, but his calm tone seemed to break their hearts more than stern, "If there is only that, you will never be a good actor", and the eyes of the audience were like sharp knife lights. Emma Stone also blushed a little embarrassed.

Siebold and the others have no say at the moment, and Kaufman can't help but look at Ye Wei, although he has the final say here, but is this too strict? In fact, No. 7 is really good, and No. 2 and No. 9 are also good. There are only ten roles, and they may not be able to win, but they can perform well.

Finn and Schiller finally understood what Ye Wei said before: "My scoring criteria will be extremely strict, you can just evaluate according to your own standards, give me a reference." ”

With this standard, I really don't know what kind of girl and what kind of performance can get VIY's applause, applause and high scores.

"You have to think the same way, you don't even know how to yawn well, which means that you all have a huge room for improvement. As long as you are willing to work hard, there is no one who will not perform. ”

Listening to Ye Wei's gentle words and looking at his encouraging smile, the girls had mixed feelings, and there was a kind of shame that they were ashamed of VIY's expectations, so they stood on this stage, but they ......

"Marlon Brando said, 'Most people are performing all day. We've been acting since we were babies, and you're crying just to get attention, to get something from somebody else, or to run away from something, to pretend to be somewhere, that's acting. ”

Ye Wei paused, glanced at them, and said with a smile: "So there's nothing difficult about this thing, you can all become excellent actors." Now go ahead!"

......

At 9:30 a.m., the 8th group of girls appeared.

There are two people in this group who have long been noticed by the judges and everyone, Mody Seedington and Shailene Woodley.

Who Semington is, no one in the audience knows, but what her acting ability is, the audience really doesn't know anything.

Not everyone knows that the 14-year-old is a child star who is active on the screen, having appeared in several episodes of dramas such as "Special District Detective" and "Orange County Boys", and has also appeared in many TV movies, such as "Little Beauty" last year.

Speaking of which, Woodleigh has long been a member of Ye Wei's circle, "Little Beauty" is a sister work of "Samantha", and Julia Roberts and her sister Lisa Roberts Gillian and others co-founded the film of Red Oh Film Studios.

Casting group insiders know that as long as the two perform well, there is a great hope of winning the role.

At this time, in the eyes of everyone, a group of ten girls walked out of the left side of the stage.

Seeing Modi, Siebold suddenly lifted her spirits, Mody was dressed in a set of blue and white casual clothes, looking very pure. At this time, her face was red, and her azure eyes wandered and she didn't dare to look at the audience, which made Siebold a little worried about her state, VIY hadn't said anything good today......

And Xie Lin next to her looked down-to-earth and generous, smiling at everyone, like a little fox.

"Hello, welcome, good luck! Ye Wei said to the girls.

Fox! cunning, smart, lively.

......

At 10:20 a.m., the 12th group of girls appeared.

This group is almost all newcomers, except for one that isn't, Emma Roberts. She is petite and stands in the middle, but she looks tall, and there are many types of girls on both sides, and she is the only one who is sunny and sweet.

Roberts Jr. was the first star girl to appear in the draft, much bigger than Woodley, and the other nine girls in her group were under pressure.

Bethany was looking at Emma with interest, VIY had said before that Emma was suitable for her, she looked good, it didn't matter if she was a little smaller, she liked Emma's sweet confidence.

Emma has reason to feel confident, with an extraordinary family background, growing up on the set, rich film and television acting experience, and half a month of hard training!

At this time, everyone heard Ye Wei say: "Hello, welcome, good luck! ”

Cute, cute, winkling.

......

At 12:00 p.m., the 21st group of girls appeared.

This is probably the most special group of 120 because there are 11 people and the number is not 200-210, and the extra one is 1201. She is different from everything, the girls are dressed fashionably one by one, but 1201 seems to have traveled through time and space from the 70s and 80s.

From the moment 1201 appeared, Siebold's face turned red, unbelievable!

I saw Susie!

Her demeanor, her clothes......

Siberd became nervous, and hurriedly looked at Ye Wei over there, wanting to tell him his thoughts, Modi, 1201!

The three judges have also been amazed by Elizabeth Olsen, the younger sister of the Olsen sisters is really good-looking, better than her two sisters.

Kaufman wrote a "95" on the 1201 appearance score on the rating sheet, but in fact, the 5 points were just to be more objective, and she didn't know what VIY thought, which was the highest appearance score she had scored so far. In terms of appearance, 1201 is exactly feasible to play Susie, Bethany, Alana, Ruth, and Clarissa.

The agents are also eye-catching, but Liz Olsen is not a newcomer, her biggest agent is herself, and no one can say anything about this star in film and television, except for Ye Wei.

"Hello, welcome, good luck!" Ye Wei said the opening words, and he put the appearance score on the score sheet in his hand, and no one knew how much.

The maidens listened to him and said, "Now please play the flamingo." ”

Flamingo!red, fluttering, long neck.

......

At 18:20 that evening, the 48th group of girls appeared.

Then soon, the ten girls were a little silent, and Ye Wei's eyes over there showed a fierce light, and he seemed to be very angry with the person who said "Yunik-Cola", maybe it was offending him.

Everyone can't figure out what he thinks, and no one can figure out today.

"Who said that? Stand up. Ye Wei said it again, and his tone was a little deeper.

At this time, a girl with long brown and blond hair who looked to be 15 or 16 years old almost on the far right stepped forward, and the smile on her face was a little uneasy and stiff, "...... Me, Jennifer Lawrence. ”

The judges all looked at the resume information of the group on the table, and they had no impression of this No. 479 girl.

Kaufman also knew the situation only after reading his resume, a newcomer who has no film and television acting experience, not even a student short film, and is completely zero. There is nothing special in other aspects, and her appearance is average, a very ordinary Kentucky farm girl.

Ye Wei's eyes suddenly focused on her, as if he looked at her a few times, and asked, "You talk to boys like this, saying that someone else is a bottle of Coke?"

The girl's expression became even more uneasy, and she grinned, "I'm sorry...... Just wanted to be humorous. ”

"Me too, hahaha!" Ye Wei suddenly laughed, and everyone chuckled relaxedly, the girls were stunned, and the girl also laughed, but some of them agreed. Ye Wei smiled: "Yunik-Cola is much cooler than Yunik-Kuller, I knew it should be called this." ”

"Is that ......" the girl laughed, not daring to joke anymore, her eyes flashing with confidence.

"OK, girls, let's start the animal simulation, I'd love to see what Jenny has to do. Ye Wei pointed two fingers with his left hand and pointed to his eyes, and forked towards the girl on the stage, "I'm staring at you." ”

The girls were envious and muttered, not knowing whether this was a good thing or a bad thing, but the girl's smile widened, and she could not hide the excitement in her heart.

"Play a wolf, please. ”

Stubborn, intelligent, and unyielding. Child.

......
