Chapter 27： Audition

Knocking acoustic guitar sound intermittent, sometimes boy holding the guitar in high spirits, sometimes turn a blind eye meditation, from time to time in scores uppercut sketch painting, even the inspiration comes, I will write a few paragraphs on the lyrics.

Pie Jinsli was sitting opposite, looking at a pile of graffiti-like scores. As an industry insider in the entertainment industry, she knew a little bit more or less, and occasionally hummed a short paragraph, but these scores were mostly messy. Preface, it is difficult to connect into a complete song.

With a light sigh, Jin Sili couldn't help but persuade a few words. In her opinion, Ryan has learned too much and knows too many things. This is not good, and it is not good for future development to be specialized. , It is difficult to reappear a character like Barbra Streisand in this era.

Ryan shook his head noncommittal, but thought of another thing. The tyrant on the set would send him an audition invitation. As for the role, there will be anyone besides the future savior!

"Ryan, are you thinking about it?" Jinsli asked seeing the boy put the guitar aside.

"When will they turn on?" the boy asked.

"If the casting goes well, it will be in the middle or late October." Jinsli saw some of the boy's thoughts, "You... intend to accept the invitation?"

"Why not?" Ryan asked with a smile. "It's just an audition, James Cameron may not be attracted to me."

It was probably the conversation at the premiere of "Sixth Sense". It was obvious that he left some impression on the future king of the world, and the other party invited him directly to participate in John Connor's second audition.

Pie Kingsley quickly responded to the crew of "Terminator 2", and a thin script about John Connor was delivered to the boy. Ryan looked through it and laughed, even though there was something wrong. Few places are a little different from the movie in his memory, but the main plot has not changed.

...

"Jim, I don't understand why you want to add that candidate to the second audition." Anne Hurd, as the film producer, is obviously dissatisfied with the decision of her ex-husband. "Yes, Ryan Jenkins is here. The sixth sense showed breathtaking acting skills. I also think that no child star can do better than him, but don’t forget his gloomy temperament, which is too far away from John Connor’s setting. !"

"Anne, you haven't seen Ryan?" James Cameron shook his finger after seeing the other person nodding. "I saw him at the premiere of "Sixth Sense". The idea of ​​T1000 was just From him, Ryan in reality is completely different from that in the movie. He is a sunny, cheerful, smart and precocious boy. This is just an audition."

"The idea of ​​T1000 came from him?" Anne Hurd automatically ignored other words.

"Yes, what did he say?" Cameron recalled a little, "A deformed liquid robot like a Porsche. Needless to say, Arnold and Mario were both present at the time."

"Okay." Annie Hurd looked at the time, "Let's get ready, the audition should begin soon."

North Hollywood, where I lived for nearly seven years after I was reborn. Ryan sighed in his heart. He turned the rearview mirror and looked at the large light brown head that covered most of his forehead. He curled his lips. The shape he had just made, coupled with the old jeans, showed him It's full of rebelliousness.

"Ryan, you know? You feel very strange to me now!" Jinsli said after pulling the car door for him.

The boy shrugged. This look was made by a stylist. Since he agreed to participate in the audition, he would naturally show some professionalism.

Walked into the T2 studio specially set up by James Cameron for "Terminator 2". Under the guidance of the staff, the two quickly came to the outside of the audition room. After finding a place to sit down, Ryan I looked at the other competitors around, especially the guy I was impressed.

However, the boy looked at it several times but couldn't find the face. He couldn't help but mutter in his heart, could it be his own big butterfly that slapped him away?

Waiting is boring and boring. After chatting with Jinsli for a few words, he simply wandered out of the sky, habitually thinking about it.

"Ryan! It's your turn." After not knowing how long, a reminder from the agent came in my ear.

The boy cleaned up his mood, adjusted his clothes, and followed the staff into the audition room. This was the first time he participated in an audition, and he was a little curious.

You have to know that there are too many Hollywood legends about audition rooms. Although those messy things gradually disappeared after entering the 1980s, but in some cases, it is impossible to put an end to it if you wish.

"This is Ryan Jenkins, born in 1980, and I have appeared in "The Sixth Sense" so far..."

The boy shook his funny big head. He didn't have the gloomy temperament of "Sixth Sense". He looked sunny and cheerful, with a hint of rebellion.

"A little younger." Anne Hurd muttered, but there is no denying that the boy's appearance is not commensurate with his age, especially his temperament, which is simply a world away from the performance in the "Sixth Sense".

"Ryan, what do you think of the role of John Connor?" The questioner was James Cameron.

"Inner rebellion without losing innocence and kindness." The boy gave this answer without thinking.

Sure enough, the few people behind the long table nodded subconsciously.

"Then what do you think of this movie?" Anne Hurd asked.

"Although what I saw is only a part of the script, I can also see some ideas from it. Unlike "Terminator 1" which relies purely on blood and fighting to attract the audience, the script obviously adds more thinking, such as'what will humans do? Will not be destroyed by the technology he created? "And when a robot has human feelings, what will he do? Then it is the perfect combination of science fiction and philosophical thinking..."

Although the people on the opposite side gradually opened their mouths, Ryan didn't mean to stop in the slightest. He recalled his previous evaluations of "Terminator 2", combined with the part of the script he had read, and started talking endlessly. , After a full few minutes, he closed his mouth.

"God, what Ryan said coincides with my idea." Cameron made a fist with one hand and punched his palm hard.

"Ryan, are you really only ten years old this year?" Mario Casa asked with a surprised look on the other side.

"I don't think it's a secret."

Ryan spread his hands and looked at James Cameron. In fact, the two had contacted several times. Before the other party adopted the T1000 concept, he called specifically, and the boy would naturally not refuse.

After asking the questions, the next step is to perform a John Connor performance to the camera. It is not too difficult for Ryan, who has experienced the baptism of "Sixth Sense" and has a full understanding of this sci-fi masterpiece. Just look at the satisfied smiles on the faces of several examiners after he and the assistant who acted temporarily.

"Ryan, I heard that you signed a contract with Touchstone Pictures, didn't you?" Anne Hurd asked with a straight face.

"Yes." The boy nodded, "If there is no accident, I will go to Canada with the crew in a few days."

"That's it." The faces of several people showed embarrassment.

"In fact, Director Columbus expects to end all filming in about a month and a half," the boy added.

"All right," Anne Hurd said, "I'm here for the time being today, and we will notify you as soon as possible."

Ryan talked about the audition with Jinsli, and walked outside. He was the last to participate in the audition. At this time, the corridor had already become empty. When they came to the front desk of the T2 studio, they suddenly discovered Several people are arguing.

"Sir, we just came here for a while because something went wrong at home. Would you give me a chance?"

"For a while? You were late for more than two hours, and now the audition is over. I'm sorry, so let's do it." The staff refused without thinking.

"Edward, you have something to say."

The boy with a hairstyle very similar to Ryan pursed his lips, "Forget it, what if the audition is successful? It's not the money-making tool they snatched away. I don't want to stay at that house for a moment. Let's go. Right."

After the boy finished speaking, he walked outside without looking back. The middle-aged man should be his agent, and then he hurriedly followed out.

Ryan had a panoramic view of all this, but didn't feel any. Since the day he started writing, I don't know how many people will change their destiny because of this, and this one is no big deal.

"Pat, let's go. UU Reading "

Several people in the audition room did not leave. After watching the video of the audition again, they had clear candidates in their hearts.

"Jim, which one do you think is appropriate?" Mario Casa asked.

"What about you?" James Cameron looked at his ex-wife again, "Anne, Mario, what I see in your eyes is the same answer as mine."

"Doesn't he think he is a little younger? Also, if there is a problem with Touchstone Pictures' filming plan, it will affect us!" Although Anne Hurd has approved the candidate, she still raised some objections.

"These are small problems that can be solved, aren't they?"

Just before Ryan left Los Angeles, the good news came through Jinsli. At the same time, a thick pile of scripts were delivered to him. Just send Jinsli to the subsequent negotiations with Caroco Films. No problem, then he will be the future savior.

"Nicole, don't worry, I'm not a kid, I know how to take care of myself." Before the boarding gate, Ryan hugged Nicole Kidman tightly. To be honest, he didn't want to be separated from her either. For such a long time, it is not just that he will participate in the filming of "Home Alone", Nicole will soon travel to Seattle and New York, and appear on the location of "Seattle Sleepless".

Perhaps it is the inertia of the wheel of history. Although the boy did not make any suggestions for the director and actors, Miramax still hired Nora Efron to lead the tube, and Tom Hanks as the leading actor.

"Ryan, remember to call me every day." Nicole solemnly ordered.
