Chapter 159

The music is full of passion, and the blonde woman in front of the camera tries her best to twist her body to make a hot dance. It seems that these hip twisting and chest lifting dances should not appear in the audition room of a film, but are exclusive to the midnight strip club.

When the music stops, the blonde stops. She straightens out her scattered blonde hair and looks breathlessly at the people next to the camera.

That's the one who can decide her fate.

In the middle is an acquaintance, Murphy Stanton, the boyfriend of good friend Kerry Mulligan, the director of the audition film. It is said that the producer has completely given him the right to choose roles.

"Miss banks." Words from the other side reminded Elizabeth banks that she was auditioning. "What have you done in the past?"

Elizabeth Banks showed a sunny and kind smile. "I haven't been in a movie. I've played a cameo role in the intern."

Murphy leaves the camera, looks at Elizabeth Banks and nods. The other party's appearance and figure are more in line with the requirements of the role. As for acting skills, it is secondary. For such a coquettish role, the basic acting skills are enough.

However, there are many large-scale scenes in the film, and Murphy asks, "Miss banks, what kind of nudity can you accept?"

Nudity is very common in Hollywood movies. How many popular stars have never made dew point films?

Elizabeth Banks said without hesitation, "as long as the shooting needs, I can."

She knows the importance of opportunity. For example, Kerry Mulligan is not as good as herself in appearance or acting skills, but she has played an important role in two films in succession and gained some fame because she is lucky enough to meet a director like Murphy Stanton.

Although there will certainly be no scenes in the films shown in cinemas, the restrictions on videotapes are much more relaxed. Moreover, if a film wants to go to Cannes Film Festival, how can it lack a large-scale green head?

Cannes Film Festival is famous for its large scale films.

"That's all for the audition." Murphy nodded and wrote it down in his notebook. "Miss banks, we'll let your agent know about the audition next week."

Although the opposite director has no expression, Elizabeth Banks can recognize that she still has a great chance, and Kerry Mulligan can help her. It is said that pillow talk has always been very effective.

Elizabeth Banks politely greets Murphy and others in the audition room before leaving.

At the end of the audition, as soon as Paul Wilson went out, he received a call from Kerry Mulligan, saying, "the audition went well, and Murphy was very satisfied with your friends."

"That's great!" Kerry Mulligan is very interested.

Murphy also walked out of the temporary audition room, walked through the scene being built in the warehouse, returned to his director's office, and found bill rosis waiting for him here.

"Satisfied with the audition?" Asked Bill rosis.

"Not bad." Murphy threw his notebook on his desk and picked up a glass of water for himself. "It's a friend that Kerry recommended. She met in the acting class."

Bill rossis pointed to the outside door. "I just saw it, blonde. It looks very promising."

Murphy pulled back his chair and sat down. "Are you interested in signing her?"

"No, I'm not interested in her." Bill - rossis seems to mean, "don't forget, I'm Carey's agent, Carey is your girlfriend, I can't sign an actress who is close to her future development path."

Hearing these words, Murphy looked up at Bill rosis. "You mean, let me give up Elizabeth Banks?"

Bill rosis nodded slightly, but he knew Murphy was a smart man and said, "from my point of view, I really don't want to see you use a non CAA signing actor, and I have a candidate to recommend."

Murphy knew that Bill Rossi had something to say, but just looked at him.

"From your and Kerry's point of view, I also suggest that you don't use Elizabeth Banks." Bill - rosis gave a direct reason, "blonde, beautiful and pleasing appearance, acting is not very good, don't you think they are very similar?"

Without waiting for Murphy to reply, he added, "in Hollywood, blonde actresses are a special category, and the optional roles of this group are often limited to a certain range. Murphy, Kerry can't only play in your films in the future, and your films are full of black style, which is not consistent with her own temperament. She will go out in the end. "

Murphy thought for a moment and nodded slowly.

"There is not a large group of really distinctive blonde actresses in Hollywood, and there are few outstanding actresses in recent years. Kerry has accumulated a certain popularity in your first two films, and there is still a lot of hope in the future." Bill rossis must know more about this circle than Murphy. "What if you're sure Elizabeth Banks is the heroine?""Kerry may have another competitor in the future?" Murphy came to understand.

Bill rosis nodded, "now Elizabeth banks has no fame and no chance. No matter what, it's not as good as Kerry. Hollywood has so many opportunities for blonde actresses. If Elizabeth Banks becomes famous with this film..."

He laughed, "you and I think the film can be successful and will sell well. As the absolute leading role, the actress must be the biggest beneficiary. This also means that Elizabeth Banks may be popular. Kerry has a few opportunities in the future and a strong competitor."

Murphy took bill rosis's words seriously.

Not long ago, Bill Reagan became one of the top ten Hollywood movie stars in the United States.

Among these potential actresses, she is also the only one with blonde hair.

It's true that hair dyeing can solve many problems, but Hollywood's views or prejudices about a blonde actress are often deep-rooted. It's a role that needs acting skills and explosive power. Under similar conditions, the crew often won't choose a blonde actress.

Most beautiful blonde actresses work as vases, which also leads to the fact that many blonde actresses have relatively few opportunities and resources after they become famous.

This group is already in fierce competition. In the future, Kerry Mulligan will jump out of the limitation of his films. If there is one more competitor, it means one less chance.

After all, the former Elizabeth Banks will hardly achieve much in the next decade.

This kind of calculation is ridiculous, but Murphy knows how fierce the competition in Hollywood is, and often the one percent probability represents the difference between heaven and earth.

People are selfish, Murphy is no exception, and it doesn't take much to do.

He made a decision in his mind. Instead of thinking about Elizabeth Banks, he asked, "what about you? Who do you recommend? Your new client? "

Bill rosis shook his head. "A professor at the Juilliard School of art, Todd, found Brian Lauder and wanted to give her favorite students a chance. Now, in the projects operated by CAA, only planet terror is in the stage of casting, so bly called me."

The interpersonal network in this circle can be described as intricate. Many auditions are not only about acting skills and appearance, but also the interpersonal network behind it, just like all business circles.

It's very simple. Under similar conditions, a production team will give priority to the actors recommended by acquaintances or related parties.

"To be beautiful enough," Murphy also reminded him of the basic role requirements, "to be hot enough to accept large-scale shots, otherwise..."

He shakes his head, does not meet these conditions, even if it is recommended by Brian Lauder, will refuse.

"Don't worry, you've met her." Bill rosis said, "an old friend of ours, she had so many setbacks that she was very open-minded."

Old friend? Or from Juilliard? Murphy immediately thought of a name. "You're not talking about Jessica chastan, are you?"

"That's her." Bill rosis nodded.

Murphy wondered, "I hear Kerry say that she has run into a wall everywhere in Hollywood. How can she get on line with bly?"

"I talked to her once, and the tutor was her last Bill - rosis legs up, "the other party should only help her once, if not to find any opportunity, she should not contact the mentor."

Think about Jessica chastan, and look at the track of most Hollywood actresses. She is definitely a late bloomer. She must have encountered setbacks and difficulties at that time. Even the top students of Juilliard college, who can finally struggle out and become close to the first-line stars, spend a lot of time and even the whole youth.

Before the other party also served as his assistant, Murphy recognized her working ability, but she didn't know her acting skills.

"Well, bill." Murphy opened the notebook and wrote down Jessica chastan's name on it. "Ask her to come to the audition as soon as possible. And you tell Bligh that I can't give him any guarantee. "

Bill rossis certainly understands the unwritten rules of the industry. If Jessica chastan can't meet the most basic conditions, he can't use him. Let alone Murphy and Miramax, he can't get through this.

No one wants to use an actor who could lead to the failure of a project he is responsible for.

Bill rosis stood up. "I'll get Jessica chastan's agent to contact the crew. I went through the ditch on Bly's side before, no problem

He quickly left the office, Murphy thought for a while, from the perspective of Kerry Mulligan's future development, Elizabeth Banks is really not a good candidate.
