After the audition, the candidates remained on the stage, standing in a neat and formal line; There was a rustle in the audience. It was obvious that they were exchanging views. It was very likely that they would decide the role on the spot.
Almost all of them turned their attention to lanli. During the audition just now, lanli deserved to be the leader. His excellent performance hardly gave any chance to others.
Lamy was no exception. When he recalled that in the process of waiting, lanli was relaxed and relaxed. He looked confident and confident. Even his nervousness was relieved. Not from the ground, Lamy raised his head, did not want to but unexpectedly and blue Li four eyes opposite, that pair of deep as if the vast night sky eyes with shallow light, brilliant thrilling let Lamy panic pulled corners of the mouth, embarrassed smile, to hide his embarrassment.
But after thinking about it, he looked up again and said, "your performance just now is very wonderful!"
Lanli didn't seem to expect Lamy to take the initiative to talk to him. He picked his eyebrow and then chuckled. "We are all trying to show the most perfect performance, hoping to move the people below, aren't we?" That confident but not proud, humorous but with a little banter tone, let Lamy also can't help laughing.
Turning around, Lamy looked into the audience and muttered, "they look like they're talking about state affairs in the State Department." The tone of ridicule also shows his humor.
Indeed, the discussion in the audience lasted nearly five minutes, and there was still no result. This is really extraordinary. This is because it is still in the process of audition. It's either decided on the spot or discussed afterwards. Generally, it won't be discussed too long at the scene, so as to avoid disturbing the audition schedule and keep the average audition time of each group at about 10 minutes as far as possible.
"Steven, give me a reason. Give me a reason why Langley is not good enough." Tom's stubbornness also came up. He turned over and looked at Steven face to face. He raised his voice slightly to show his insistence.
Steven was not moved. He shook his head calmly. "It's not that Langley is not good enough, it's that we have a better choice!" The other staff nearby all closed their mouths and watched the two men argue. No one even dared to remind them to pay attention to time. They just held their breath and tried to eliminate their sense of existence.
"If you say, let him play other roles, there's no problem! I can make a decision now. He's very good. He can be competent for many roles. But we're talking about Eugene. He's the soul of the whole show, not just the No.1 actor. He also has the spiritual support we instill in the show! " Imperceptibly, Steven's voice rose slightly, his face slightly excited, and he went back. "So, yes, I refuse him to play Eugene. I refuse such a strange young man without any acting experience to play Eugene! Yes, I think we have a better choice than him! "
"Joseph Mazzello?" Tom said directly without any pause. Because he was too excited, he even stood up slightly, then fell down and clearly expressed his inner surge. "Steven, I know you like him very much, and I know he is a very good actor, but compared with Langley, he is really not good enough."
Joseph, a child star, is 26 years old. In 1992, he starred in "the sea and the sky" and cooperated with Elijah Wood. When Steven and George Lucas visited the studio, they were so moved by his performance that Steven expressed his hope that Joseph could play "Captain hooker" on the spot. Unfortunately, Joseph was only seven years old at that time, so he had to give up.
After that, Steven even changed the character's age and background in order to make Joseph play Jurassic Park; In addition, Joseph was also Steven's first choice during the preparation of "artificial intelligence". Unfortunately, because the preparation period was too long, he missed the schedule, resulting in the failure of the cooperation.
When preparing for the "Pacific War", the soul characters of the play, Eugene and Steven, have been reserved for Joseph from the beginning, hoping to reach a second cooperation between the two sides, which shows his preference for the actor. Even a master like Stanley Kubrick had a green eye for Joseph when he was alive.
But now, Tom wants to give Eugene to Langley, which has become the focus of the dispute between the two sides.
"Jesus Christ! He's only twenty! There was no work before that! Just now, you just saw that... How long? Sixty seconds? A 90 second performance? And then... "Steven's mood was a little bit excited, but Tom didn't show any weakness and directly interrupted Steven's words," but Eugene was only 19 years old“
Steven hood stood up. "But he didn't have that fragile firmness! That's why I insist on using Joseph! " The out of control voice broke through the shackles of the audience, so that all the actors on the stage were scared, but because they did not hear the cause and effect, so they were just confused.
"Steven, Tom..." finally someone stood up next to him and said, "we can go back and discuss it slowly. Now, we don't have enough time..." the following words hesitated again and looked at the two guys carefully.
Steven sat down and turned his back to Tom; Tom also sat upright again, supported his chin with his right hand, and looked at the stage without saying a word, as if there was no one nearby.
The tense atmosphere was really frightening, but at least it stopped for a while, "cough." The casting director cleared his throat and brought everyone's attention back together. "Today's audition is here for the time being. You can leave. If the follow-up news comes, you just wait for the notice“
Waiting for notice?
The result of nearly seven minutes of argument is "waiting for notice"? Shulala, in a flash, all eyes fell on lanli again, full of incredible - if even lanli's amazing performance failed to move the crew, who could win the performance opportunity of "Pacific War"? This
As a client, Lan Li was lost. To be honest, his performance just now was really good. He reached the best state and showed his best performance in recent years; In addition to the controversy and Discussion on the scene, expectations inevitably began to rise. Now we have got such a reply - "waiting for notice". Anyone who has participated in the audition or interview knows that this reply often means that there is no news and the sea is sinking. This gap makes Lan Li a little disappointed.
Maybe, the first talk show has already predicted the present result, hasn't it?
Thinking of the phone call from his parents before the audition, he was still in a heavy mood. However, this was only his first audition. The negative emotion just stayed in his chest for a moment, then turned into a cloud of smoke and disappeared without a trace. After ten years in bed and two lives, he learned to be open-minded. The smile at the corner of the mouth gently outlined, just like a touch of rosy clouds in the sky at six o'clock in the afternoon, soft and bright.
Turning around, lanli took the lead to leave the stage. Lamy was stunned and looked left and right. Then he noticed that the next group of candidates at the entrance were ready. He quickly followed lanli's steps, and all of them left the theater one after another.
When he came outside again, the fresh air suddenly brightened the dull atmosphere. Lamy looked at lanli's back, hesitated for a moment, and then summoned up the courage to catch up with him, "Hey, lanli." Lamy once again realized that the height gap between him and Langley was so fatal that he had to run with short legs.
Fortunately, lanli stopped and waited in place. Lamy slowed down, stopped in front of lanli, gasped for breath, but found himself reckless, ready words suddenly became a blank, looking at lanli's questioning eyes, Lamy choked and said, "... I think you can get the role!" Words incomparably affirmative, after saying that, Lamy nodded firmly, "I'm serious!"
However, when he met by chance, Lamy sincerely expressed his support and affirmation. Lanli's smile was more genial. "I believe you can be seen in the Pacific War."; What's more, I have a hunch that the role is absolutely important. "
Lanli's resolute expression was firm, without any polite perfunctory. Lamy couldn't help but want to believe this, but the surprise and amazement in his mind could not stop. His performance just now was far less than lanli's. If lanli lost the election, how could he choose?
However, without waiting for Lamy to continue to ask, lanli waved goodbye. Lamy only had time to say "goodbye", and then watched lanli move forward again. The storm in his heart just began.
Lanli is not polite, indeed not, because that's what it is.
Lamy not only played a successful role in the "Pacific War", but also played an important role in it, second only to the two core roles; Later, he won the Emmy Award for best actor in the plot category for the series "hacker corps". After struggling for six years in the third tier stage of Hollywood, he ushered in the spring of his acting career.
Rami's calf like eyes are particularly recognizable. He was born in 1981, but because of the prominent image of his eyes, he is always a baby face. Even in 2017, he and now don't seem to have changed much, as if time had directly forgotten his existence.
After leaving the theater and bathing in the thin and lazy sunshine of New York, lanli took a deep breath of the slightly restless air, and his mood soared again. The audition just now was just a beginning, a trivial beginning. He once again had the opportunity to rewrite his life. This is the most important thing, isn't it?
In the midsummer of 2009, lanli's dream journey sounded the horn of departure.
Lanli took his skateboard from the doorman at the entrance of the theater and said thanks. He threw the skateboard directly to the ground and stepped on it lightly. With a sudden push of his left foot, he flew in the wind.
