Eric listened to her and didn't say anything else, bowing his head he started taking notes, this reaction made Gwyneth somewhat perturbed, she felt that her answer should be very appropriate . But he didn't give her enough time to think, after a few more questions, he asked her to start performing .
A staff member moved a two seat bench on wheels to the middle of the room and explained: "Miss Paltrow, the scene you want to perform is like this . On a bus, a strange man suddenly sat down next to you . He's very handsome, just by looking at him you feel your heart start beating faster .
But suddenly you feel a pistol pressing on your side, the man held you hostage, and want you to pretend that the two of you are a couple as a police officer investigate the bus, you dare not resist, and have no choice but to do as he said .
Miss Paltrow, you have no lines, you can only rely on facial expressions and body language to express your emotions, you have one minute to prepare . "
Not a single line, this was too difficult, that was the first thing that came to her mind . However, she knew she had no choice, but to adjust her mentality and prepare for the performances quickly .
A minute later, Gwyneth sat on the bench and said she was ready, the a.s.sistant reminded her 'when the music stops, then the show is over, using a clapboard he announced the start of the performances .
At the same time, another staff member pressed the start b.u.t.ton on the music player; a refreshing piano composition rang in the room .
This was the soundtrack that appeared in the original bus scene, the name of the song is "Silent Love" . The soundtrack was allegedly copied from a 1995 musical made by a Greek composer called Vangelis and failed to make it to the film soundtrack alb.u.m .
This time Eric chose to copy all the music from "Running Out of Time", now he certainly will not be involved in any copyright issues, and in the future if he wanted he can also publish Vangelis original soundtrack .
Gwyneth sat there quietly, after a few moments, a staff member sat down beside her .
She gently frowned and turned to look at the man next to her, feeling something on her side she looked down only to find a plastic gun pressed against her, her face immediately showed a look of fear, her body expressed a backward movement like she was trying to hide .
Sitting behind the Audition table Eric frowned slightly, Gwyneth expressions were too exaggerated, but he didn't make any noise to interrupt her .
The performance of the two people was still going on, the staff member put his arm around Gwyneth's shoulder, and said: "Don't make any noise . "
Gwyneth's body stiffened for a moment and pretended to stare straight ahead . From the perspective of Eric, he could see her hands on her knees gently trembling . The staff member took off his sungla.s.ses and put them on her . She didn't have any reaction, like a puppet she didn't make a move .
Here the actor should have started talking on a cell phone, but because this was the actress audition, this part was omitted .
"Lean over," the staff told her in a whisper again, obediently Gwyneth leaned against his shoulder .
A few moments later, Eric made a gesture, and immediately someone stopped the music .
Hearing the music stop, Gwyneth knows that the show is over, she quickly straightened up, and removed the sungla.s.ses and handed them back to the man beside her .
Eric quickly said: "Miss Paltrow, thank you for your audition, you can leave now, we will inform you of the results as soon as possible . "
"Ah, that's it . . . .
. . it's over?" Gwyneth asked without restraint .
Eric nodded and made a gesture as if to say "please leave," Gwyneth had to pick up her bag and get out of the room, after closing the audition room's door, she immediately wiped out the smile on her face, and coldly walked through the crowd of girls waiting to audition .
In the audition room, a few people were discussing her performance .
She felt stupid about her answer, moreover, when she was acting, she only showed fear, and there was no love at first sight .
Even the staff member seems to remind her that the man is handsome, that just by looking at him you will feel your heart start beating faster .
She put the blame on the temporary actor he obviously was ugly, but they allowed him to play the role of a handsome man . If Eric Williams or Tom Cruise sat by her side, she was sure her heart would start beating faster .
But she didn't blame her stupidity and negligence on herself instead she transferred all her anger to Drew, she began blaming the little b.i.t.c.h . She lived in Eric's house, so Drew must have seen the whole script, but when she asked Drew about the script .
But she only revealed a little bit of the content, if it weren't for that, she wouldn't be so unprepared .
Pa.s.sing a telephone booth, she wondered if she should contact Drew Barrymore again, to see if she can help her get a second chance to try again . Next time she was sure she'd be well-prepared, and will not make the same mistakes .
Gwyneth didn't take into account, that at the current time, Drew should be in cla.s.s, after finding her address book, she put a coin in the coin-operated telephone, and dialed Drew bedroom number .
After a few beeps, the phone call connected .
"h.e.l.lo! . . .
. . . " There was a dazed girl's voice on the other side as if she hadn't woken up yet .
She put on a warm tone and said: "Hey Drew, it's me, Gwyneth . . . .
. . Oh, now it's ten o'clock, are you still asleep, I envy you . .
. . . .
Well, Today I partic.i.p.ated in that audition, but I don't think I did a good job . Can you help me talk to Mr . Williams to give me a second chance to audition? .
. . . .
. . Good . .
. . . .
, Ok . . . .
. . , I'll be waiting for your good news . Let's eat together this weekend; I know this great Italian restaurant in Sunset Strip .
. . . .
. That's good . . .
. . . OK, that's it .
Bye bye . "
Putting down the phone in its place, Gwyneth said in a voice full of envy: "For her to be sleeping during the day, the b.i.t.c.h definitely was out fooling around last night . "
