Rodriguez is really excited.
There is no doubt that Ryan Reynolds is his first choice to play Paul Conroy. In fact, after watching "nine dimensions", he always wanted to cooperate with Ryan. He always thinks that Ryan's performance has a special texture, not the explosive type, but has his own understanding and characteristics. After taking over the "buried alive" script, his first idea was: Ryan.
This kind of desire is really too strong, so even though he knows that Ryan's career is in a period of rapid growth, and the probability of taking over "buried alive" is very low, he still issued an invitation.
Unexpectedly, Ryan not only responded to his invitation, but also personally appeared in front of him. Such a surprise really hit his heart and caught him off guard. "Mr. Reynolds, how... How can you be here?"
"Cooperation!" Ryan gave another surprise bomb, which made Rodrigo dizzy. "Ryan, please call me Ryan. Mr. Reynolds is my father“ Ryan showed his humor with a signature smile on his face.
"Sorry to interrupt your conversation." Lanli's voice timely intervened, interrupting the conversation between Ryan and Rodriguez, which had not yet had time to further expand. "I just think it's better for me to leave now to avoid disturbing your later work."
Reasonable words, can't find fault, but Langley successfully drew attention to him, not only Rodrigo, even Ryan and Scarlett also cast their eyes.
Rodriguez's brain a little sober, Ryan's sudden appearance is really too unexpected, completely disrupted his mind, but now see blue Li, he once again come back to mind, the fundus of his eyes showed hesitation, "now leave?"
Rodriguez was a little confused for a moment.
On the one hand, Ryan is his dream partner, and it is also his first choice. Now that Ryan appears, it can't be more perfect. More importantly, Ryan has now entered the second tier upstream ranks. With his joining in, the distribution copyright and publicity operation of "buried alive" in the future will be much easier.
On the other hand, lanli's performance just now shocked his world. No matter how delicate and explosive the performance was, it brought the power of dramatic conflict into full play; Or at the tender age of 20, with no makeup of the simple attitude, showing the effect of immersive, so that the story has been sublimated. There is no doubt that this is the actor every director dreams of.
Originally, Rodriguez had no hope for the emergence of Ryan, and the surprise of Langley became his best choice, but now, the emergence of Ryan has fulfilled his original plan. From no choice, to choose too much, so happy trouble, let Rodriguez a time some at a loss.
"My audition is at a stage, isn't it?" Lenley's smile was gentlemanly and appropriate.
He knows that Ryan's appearance will be a fatal turning point. If he plays a rogue and stays, it can change the situation, then he will have the cheek to continue to watch, but it is obviously useless. Therefore, it's better to retreat, give Ryan the opportunity to perform and the space to talk, and then wait for the opportunity.
He also knows that, compared with Ryan, his only advantage lies in his strength. He has absolute confidence in his performance, but in addition to other software conditions, he is completely down. Fortunately, "buried alive" is an independent project. Rodriguez is more willing to consider it from the perspective of works than from the perspective of interests of large companies. This is his only chance.
"I hope my performance just now is good enough, otherwise I don't have more capital to show off." Lanli handed over the script and said half jokingly that the subtext implied that strength was the only condition for him to compete with Ryan.
Sure enough, Rodriguez showed an embarrassed smile, took the script, "impeccable." Rodriguez sighed, gently shaking his head to express his admiration, "to be honest, I don't know how to be better."
"It's supposed to be the actor's part, isn't it?" Randley's confidence and humor successfully made Rodriguez smile.
Although the performance just now has been very amazing, but inexplicably, Rodrigo is willing to believe in Lan Li, believe that Lan Li can also contribute more wonderful performance, believe that Lan Li can dig out more things, believe that Lan Li is far from reaching the limit.
"Who are you?" Ryan could feel the harmony in the air. His eyes turned between Rodriguez and lanli. After all, he didn't hold back and asked rudely. His slightly frowned brow showed his real mood at the moment.
"Sorry." Lanli turned around and began with an apology, which made Ryan choke. "I forgot to introduce myself." Lenley politely held out his right hand. "Lenley hall, an actor, I came to audition today."
"Who?" Ryan's eyebrows are more and more tangled, full of question marks. After searching his brain, he can't think of any related actors. Obviously, the other party is just a nobody. His hands were still in his pants pocket.
Lanli gently raised his right hand in mid air. He didn't mind Ryan's indifference. He drew a self mocking smile from the corner of his mouth. "There must be more than one or two actors that Mr. Reynolds has never seen or heard of, right?" The sarcastic but sharp words stung Ryan. He didn't look very good.
Scarlett, standing beside her, could not help but smile and her mouth rose slightly. Because of her height, she can clearly see the man's banter flashing at the bottom of her eyes. Her tone of voice is always cold and arrogant. Her words are not sharp, but she is alienated. She bumps into it like a wall of air. When she walks, she bumps into it. It's embarrassing but she can't understand it. This is how Ryan feels at this time.
"Mr. Reynolds himself came to New York from Los Angeles, obviously not for chatting. Then, I won't disturb your audition. " The gentle voice of lanli always has a faint smile, and the elegant London voice adds a touch of gentlemanly style, but the irony revealed in the depth of the words can not be removed.
Scarlett couldn't hold back this time. She burst out laughing. Langley's remark obviously satirizes Ryan's appeal: even if he made a special trip from Los Angeles to New York, so what? It's not rhetoric that determines an actor's ability, but absolute strength. It's better to get to the point as soon as possible rather than to show off here.
This blow hit Ryan's stomach hard. Even Scarlett could hear Ryan's internal injury, especially the "Mr. Reynolds", which was polite and ironic.
Noticing her husband's fiery eyes, Scarlett whispered, "I'm sorry." Then she raised her hand to cover her mouth, picked up the trivial laughter, and returned to normal again. Although today she just came to make soy sauce, it seems that it's not right to laugh at her husband with outsiders.
"As for our unfinished audition, I'll wait outside and continue later." Lanli's words are very clever. To be exact, their audition just now did not end. They did not further communicate with each other for the performance, nor did they talk with each other for cooperation. Therefore, lanli gave Rodriguez a step and left him a back door, "so..."
Lanli nodded to Rodriguez, Ryan and Scarlett respectively, and then, without any stop, stepped forward to leave.
However, the way out is blocked by Ryan and Scarlett. Lanli stops and smiles at Scarlett. Originally, Scarlett thought that the man would take this opportunity to say more, but unexpectedly, the man turned over and made a gesture to move on. Subconsciously, Scarlett gave way, and then the man quickly left.
Scarlett couldn't help looking up and glancing at the man's eyes. She didn't think that the man met her without any panic, just like the eyes of the lake in the forest flowing with a smile. After that, there was only one figure left.
Scarlett raised her eyebrows and drew her eyes back. However, the atmosphere is a bit dull, Ryan and Rodriguez did not speak, "cough." Scarlett cleared her throat and pulled Larian's arm. "Honey, you talk so much about the play at home that you can't put it down. Why don't you talk now? Is it because I'm too excited to see the director? "
In a simple word, it successfully drew Ryan's attention back, "yes... Yes!" Ryan covered his confusion with trivial words. "I can't wait!"
Rodriguez's surprise is slowly precipitated to the bottom of his heart. Just now, lanli was so different from when he played Paul!
This is the first time Rodriguez and lenley meet. He has not seen the "Pacific War", has no concept of lenley's performance style, and has no understanding of his personality. In the previous audition process, the style of Langley has always been consistent, that kind of rough and strong temperament with a strong "Paul Conroy" color, Rodriguez almost thought Langley was the real character. However, the delicate control and deep excavation in the performance process still proved that this idea was wrong.
However, the short conversation just now presents a completely different Lan Li. All the sharp points are converged, but they firmly control the rhythm. It seems that there is no aggressiveness, but there is unshakable firmness behind it. It's totally different from Paul, even very different.
In other words, all the previous auditions were performances?
Aware of this, Rodriguez's shock is just a storm, the kind of wandering between reality and illusion, which makes people dumbfounded. If you can, Rodriguez wants to continue the dialogue with Langley. Even if it's just a simple chat, his curiosity can't be suppressed.
But the remaining reason still let Rodriguez take back his attention, looking at Ryan in front of him, "right?" This is his first choice. Remember, this is his first choice!
