Chapter Ninety-Nine: Audition (Subscription Requested)
The next day, Ryan woke up Monica Bellucci early in the morning, dressed up briefly, and drove Helen to the crew of "Independence Day".
This time it was an audition with makeup, so after a while, Monica Bellucci needed to reapply her makeup, and everything was according to the characters in the script.
"Independence Day!"
"$75 million!"
Ryan sighed slightly and said, "This is the real Hollywood commercial production." ”
In comparison, whether it is "Invasion of Evil Spirits", "Chainsaw", or "Truman's World", it is not a commercial production.
The former can be classified as a low-budget film, while the latter is barely a medium-sized commercial production.
Helen glanced at Ryan and ignored him, but said to Monica Bellucci: "The crew has determined three male leads, as well as a black female character candidate, and only one important female role has been decided, which has not yet been decided." ”
Speaking of this, Helen subconsciously glanced at Ryan and said, "Actually, the role you are about to audition for has entered the final round of auditions." ”
"So when you audition, you need to show what you are best at. ”
Monica Bellucci did not participate in the first few auditions, and the current audition is not through the relationship of Twentieth Century Fox, but through the crew producer and director Roland Emmerich, who personally sent an invitation to audition.
Monica Bellucci nodded a little nervously, she knew better than anyone that this audition was not easy to come by.
Once the audition is successful, she will complete a transformation, from an actor who starred in horror films to an actor who has starred in commercial films.
Don't underestimate this change, commercial films are the mainstream of Hollywood, and an actor who starred in horror movies can never become a first-line actress in Hollywood, or even a second-tier actress.
Then, Helen said a mixed news, saying: "Although the investment in the whole film is as high as 75 million US dollars, but for a large commercial science fiction film, the budget of the crew is not very sufficient, I don't think Roland Emmerich will pay too much for a female supporting role, which means that you have a good chance." ”
"Independence Day" is a science fiction film, the protagonist can only be an alien, and most of the crew's budget is spent on special effects production, and the real salary left for the actors will not be too much.
Hearing the news, Monica Bellucci was instantly relieved, she can not care about the salary, as long as she can play the role in the script.
Helen has been following the progress of "Independence Day" for a long time, and according to her inquiries, the film itself is not a project initiated by Twentieth Century Fox, but is inspired by producer and director Roland Emmerich, who even wrote the script himself.
Except for a few people in the entire crew, most of the positions were selected by Roland Emmerich, and the final decision on the actors was in his hands.
The initiator of the project is Roland Emmerich, the producer and director are still Roland Emmerich, the center of the crew is still Roland Emmerich, and only the investor is Twentieth Century Fox.
Just like the crew of "Invasion of Evil Spirits", Ryan is the core of the crew, not the investor Twentieth Century Fox.
So, the opinion of Twentieth Century Fox is not important, what matters is Roland Emmerich, the idea in his head.
Along the way, Ryan didn't say much, and he didn't have any good advice about auditions.
The group of three came to the Twentieth Century Fox studio, and the third studio was not very far from the studio gate, so you could walk directly to it.
Along the way, you can see people coming in and out of Studio 3, seemingly carrying various materials and equipment.
Ryan is no stranger to the studio of Twentieth Century Fox, and many of the shots in "Invasion of Evil Spirits" were shot in the studio inside, which can be said to be very familiar.
When the three of them came to Studio No. 3, a crew member immediately stepped forward, asked what they meant, and took Monica Bellucci to the dressing room.
Let Ryan and Helen stay outside and wait.
Ryan specifically reminded her not to touch any food, including drinking water.
There are too many cats in the audition, so it's better to pay attention.
As soon as Monica Bellucci entered, he saw an actress come out of another dressing room, like the actress who starred in "Independence Day" in her previous life.
Ryan looked at it more, it didn't seem very pretty, and he wasn't too young.
Ryan showed Helen whether to enter the dressing room or not, he didn't care about the crew's regulations, and anyway, no one stopped him, it was better than standing outside stupidly.
"Be careful, that actress should be Margaret Colin, another actress who auditioned with makeup. Helen reminded.
The implication is that if it weren't for Monica Bellucci's appearance, she would probably have joined the crew.
Ryan nodded, pushed open the door of the dressing room, and walked in first, the makeup artist inside only glanced at it and ignored it.
In any case, he is now a well-known Hollywood director, and he is a collaborator of Twentieth Century Fox, and he just goes into the dressing room, and no one says anything.
The make-up artist gave Monica Bellucci a touch of hair to look more like a professional woman, with a neat and simple look.
After wearing only some light makeup on his face, he went to the locker room to change into a women's professional suit, put on high heels, combed his collar, and stood in front of a mirror that was a man tall.
Her style does not have too much decoration, but only highlights the characteristics of professional women, and the whole person looks very shrewd, and has a charm that belongs to professional women.
"Great styling. ”
Ryan stepped forward, looked at her carefully, and was very satisfied with her dress, and said, "It's simply the most beautiful presidential assistant ever." ”
The role she auditioned for was an assistant to the president in addition to the actor's wife.
"Remember, we rehearsed last night. With that, Ryan turned around and made a great gesture to the makeup artist.
The makeup artist smiled, faintly smug.
Monica Bellucci blushed, glared at Ryan fiercely, what time had it been, and made such boring jokes, and then turned around and walked out of the dressing room.
Ryan didn't care, and immediately followed, and whispered, "Take it easy, it's just an audition, there's nothing to be nervous about." ”
Monica Bellucci glanced at Ryan, nodded, and didn't say anything more.
In fact, Ryan understands this audition very well, the process is not important, but how to impress Roland Emmerich.
At least in terms of appearance alone, Monica Bellucci, she is a very qualified vase, and her acting skills are also okay.
If he were Roland Emmerich, he would definitely choose a vase that is both beautiful and cheap.
Of course, every Hollywood crew is full of all kinds of dirty deals, and no one is sure of the final result.
"Audition Room One. A crew member reminded.
Monica Bellucci followed the crew through the long hallway to the door of Audition Room One, Ryan stepped forward and nodded to her, "Be confident, dare to believe in yourself, you are the best." ”
Monica Bellucci took a deep breath, nodded vigorously, and stepped into the audition room, almost instantly, her temperament changed, as if she had completely changed into a professional woman.
Ryan knows this very well, she is definitely a natural professional woman.
