Quiet, the card seat is quiet. Paul secretly looks up from the back of the menu. Lanli, Andy and Neil are all looking down at the menu. They seem to be deciding on an important choice to maintain their life and death. There is some comfort in the quiet atmosphere.
Fan is the only one who impatiently spreads the menu page. The sound of brushing spreads in the peaceful air. His frowning brow shows his dissatisfaction and irritability without any cover up.
Paul was thinking about how to ease the atmosphere, and then he heard Langley's voice ringing in his ear, "fan, when will" extreme agent "shoot a sequel? Can't you come back? "
This not only broke the silence, but also broke the embarrassment. In an instant, Paul, Andy and Neil's attention were all flowing towards Langley, and of course, fan.
Fan's mouth was itchy. He wanted to answer, but he had to restrain it. The face in front of him was still so disgusting, and the mouth was chattering, "I watched 'extreme agent 2' before, and the only thought was, why did this film be made? To be honest, the first extreme sports really opened my eyes. Did you take part in the scene of jumping off the bridge? "
"Yes." Before the brain control, the voice line had taken the lead in answering. The impetuous emotion in the body broke the blockade of reason and began to talk endlessly, "this was the situation at that time..."
Andy lowers his head and continues to browse the menu. He thinks about what he should eat for dinner. He doesn't worry about the situation of lanli. Vaguely, Andy notices that his hot eyes fall on his head. When he raises his head, he sees Neil's inquiring eyes. Andy shows a smile and raises the menu, Seems to be asking: have you finished ordering?
Neil also raised the menu, then lowered his eyes and looked like he was browsing the menu. In fact, his ears were listening to the conversation all the time. Fan's warm voice enlivened the atmosphere. Occasionally, Lan Li or Paul could be heard, but it was mainly fan himself.
It doesn't look like a character audition at all, but a gathering of friends.
Neil can't help recalling the personal data of Langley in his head. At present, he has only starred in two works, and he is only 21 years old in two months. However, in just a few months, he has quickly jumped up, first the Emmy Awards, and then Toronto. The rising trend is really unexpected. But beyond that, there is little information about him.
Think back to what you saw and heard in the past two days in triliureid, the two works of "the king's speech" and "social network" are unmatched in popularity, but the number of discussions on "buried alive" and "127 Hours" are far ahead, but they are somewhat different“ "127 Hours" of Denny Bauer is mentioned more and more times, and "buried alive" is the word of mouth of Langley more and more intensive.
And tonight, a great night. Just look at Andy's reaction. He's not worried at all; However, if Neil has an actor like Langley, he really doesn't need to worry——
Calm and wise, advance and retreat properly, elegant and calm, not only there is no new actor's green and immature, at the same time, there is no tension and panic during the audition, from the beginning to the end, it always shows a rare general's style, even in the whole conversation process, it has the upper hand.
"Langley, you don't seem to have anything to do with action movies, so what's your advantage if you become an action actor?" After ordering, Neil took the initiative to open the topic and take the initiative. In the same way, compared with van Nistelrooy just now, Neil's casual words are peaceful, but there is a kind of decision that can't be argued.
"Well, my 100 meter score can go into 12 seconds?" Lan Li pondered for a moment and gave an answer to the question, but then everyone recognized the subtext:
What advantages do action actors need? It's all about being able to fight, run and be agile. After all, it's impossible for Hollywood to find a pure martial arts actor like Bruce Lee, and all these requirements need to be practiced. At this time, lanli can't show it by mouth. So, this is the absurd and uninhibited answer, which can at least prove that Langley's motor nerve is very developed.
When he understood, Paul was the first to chuckle, and then the others couldn't help laughing.
Blue Li eyebrow tail gently pick pick, eyes fell on the opposite fan body - he and Neil sitting on the same side, the shift of vision is always a little strange, "I thought the shape is my advantage." Lan Li's follow-up words once again surprised everyone.
Now it's still 2010, and in 2014, even old British gentlemen like Colin Firth have starred in "ace agent: secret service academy", which is also highly praised. Appearance has never been a shackle of action movies. Unfortunately, Langley can't give Colin's example now.
However, as Langley said, "speed and passion" series is a classic action movie, but the routine is too serious. It has been following the route of bigger scenes, bigger explosions and more violent car racing. Now even the casting is like this. That's how dawn Johnson came into the attention of the drama group, but the fifth one has already chosen dawn. What about the sixth one?
In fact, a really good action actor should not be too big, because his movements will be slow, and his light body will gain some advantages. When Harrison Ford played "Star Wars" and "Raider", he was not a traditional action actor style.
"Or do you have a different set of characters from me? Then I can't see where this conversation is going today. " In just two words, Lan Li quietly took the initiative in his hand, and then threw the problem back.
Fan obviously did not expect that he was stunned for a moment. When did a rookie who had only performed one film begin to ask questions during the audition? When did an unknown little guy dare to ask the producer questions? How dare he!
There are too many actors in Hollywood, even the third and fourth line actors who have played in one or two works. Independent films are all over the street. Any brick can throw a nobody who has been on the stage of Sundance. In most auditions, actors don't even have time to introduce themselves. In just ten seconds, they are directly eliminated. Audition directors have to see hundreds of new faces a day. Let alone accept questions, they don't even bother to have a greeting dialogue.
Although he was able to audition face-to-face thanks to the brilliance of "the Pacific War" and "buried alive", as well as the two stages of Toronto and trilliureid, in essence, he is still a complete newcomer. Neil and van have not heard of the name "Langley hall" until today.
Lan Li's rhetorical question really caught fan off guard. Poor van diesel, sitting face to face with Langley, would have been better if it had been Neil.
Or did Neil calmly take over the conversation and say, "what's your role setting?" Fan turned his head to Neil at the first time, avoiding the sight of lanli, but after the reaction, the anger in his heart began to rush up again - what kind of new man is this? Arrogance, ignorance, rudeness, self righteousness, elimination! There is no doubt, direct elimination!
"Have you seen the speed and passion series? If you insert a character in it, how would you set it? " Jiang is still old and spicy. Neil follows Lan Li's words and throws out a question. Paul and van also looked at lenley at the same time. At this moment, the audition is the real beginning.
Langley seriously thought about it, did not evade the question, directly gave the answer, "Jake Bauer." Jack Bauer, the hero of the classic American TV series "24 hours", is known as "undead Xiaoqiang".
Jack, as an anti-terrorism expert, is a very classic character. He is wise and brave, decisive, calm and wise, with clear thinking and no procrastination. Kiefer Sutherland, who plays this role, was not a typical action actor in the first season. He was not strong but vigorous, The fierce and vicissitudes of his temperament make Jack Bauer a classic.
If we talk about the depth of the characters and the ideological connotation in an action movie such as "speed and passion", it will inevitably drag down the overall rhythm of the movie. It's just like the "spy series", the fourth and the fifth, which were restarted later, fell behind. Naturally, lanli would not make such a mistake.
Therefore, the most important thing is to choose a clear concept of the role, complete the positioning and shaping of the role style before shooting, and then implement it into the film to integrate with the film style“ The classic action movie series, such as "spy", "mission impossible", "007" and "tiger gall dragon power", are so successful.
Lanley's example is very accurate and clear. Neil immediately understood what he meant. The styles of Jack Bauer and dawn Johnson are quite different, but they are unexpectedly in line with Lanley's temperament. To be more accurate, if Lanley plays the role of Jack Bauer's style, Neil thinks it's going to be fun - Keanu Reeves is in his mind, Keanu Reeves's performances in "speed of life and death" and "the matrix.". Keanu is not a typical action actor, either.
I have to admit that Neil's curiosity was aroused, but he did not appear on the surface, but continued to ask, "then we can use Kiefer Sutherland. What's your advantage over him? "
"Oh." Lan Li chuckled, without the slightest panic. He pursed the corner of his mouth, and the smile was hidden in his mouth, just like a flower bud blooming on the top of a spring tree. "It's better to say that I'm inferior. You all know Kiefer, but you don't know me... And so on. It seems that this is also my advantage." Langley turned his head, passed Paul and looked at Neil. "Isn't it?"
