Sitting quietly next to her mother, about to participate in the first film audition in her life, Natalie is not very happy. After returning to New York from Poland, she is preparing for this day. In any case, she will win The role of Matilda is not only for herself, but also for her promise to her friends.
Despite the limited number of meetings in the past two years, the communication and phone calls between her and Ryan have never been interrupted, whether it was his outings or she went to a drama camp.
Therefore, Natalie thinks she knows him very well. If she is really rejected, Ryan will definitely tear her face with the French.
So, she must go all out.
However, after reading the script a while ago, my father strongly opposed her to play this role. For this reason, there was a small dispute between the two, and even my father vaguely expressed his dissatisfaction with Ryan. This is also true. The reason she is not happy.
If it weren't for my mother's persuasion, I would probably lose this opportunity.
Why must we maintain a strict vegetarian diet? Why do you oppose me becoming an actor? Why do you think Ryan...
Natalie couldn't help but feel a touch of dissatisfaction with her conservative father. If Ryan knew about her situation, she would only have one idea that the girl had entered a rebellious period.
Looking at the girls coming in and going out, one by one was frustrated or full of spirits, Natalie gradually stabilized her mind. Speaking of which, she has an advantage that no one else has.
Those girls only got a few fragments of the script. Only she has read the full version of the script, more than once, and exchanged many opinions with Ryan about the role of Matilda.
If you still let this character slip out of your hands, it would be better to die as an actor.
An unusually tall black-haired girl, accompanied by her agent, walked into the audition room. Natalie couldn't help looking around, only to find that she and her mother were the only ones left outside the audition room.
She is the last one! Obviously, the French director has an opinion on himself!
This is better. I can get this role by virtue of my strength and my acting skills! Natalie's eyes are extremely bright, this is a war, a war between her and the French!
I don’t know how long it took, and the door of the audition room opened again, and the black-haired girl came out. I could see that she was very happy, as if she would definitely get this role.
"Miss Natalie Herschel, you are the next one," the staff member said at this time.
"Okay, thank you!" Natalie squeezed her fist hard, cheered herself up in her heart, come on, Natalie, this is the beginning of your path to glory!
"Mom, can I go in by myself?" Natalie looked at her mother.
She doesn't want people to think of herself as a kid who hasn't grown up. When Ryan participated in the audition for the first time, no one accompanied him into the audition room. I can't be worse than that fool, right?
"Okay, Nat." Mrs. Shelly sat down again, anyway, Ryan was inside, there was nothing to worry about.
After all, she participated in the filming of "Schindler's List". Natalie was sitting in a chair. Although the camera lens was facing her, she was not nervous at all.
The outside light of the eyes caught Ryan unconsciously. The other party seemed to know she would do this. The bright sky-blue eyes looked over in an instant. When the two eyes touched together, Natalie suddenly felt Incomparable peace of mind, incomparable self-confidence.
Matilda must be mine! She was full of confidence, just...how did she suddenly feel that she and Ryan have known each other for more than two years, as if they...have known each other in the last life.
“I’m Natalie Herschler, born in June 1981. When I was four years old, I started to learn dance and acting. I often performed in community theater troupes. I participated in the filming of Schindler’s List in March... "
Natalie made a simple introduction, her face was calm, and she never looked at Ryan again.
"Miss Natalie, can you ask about your role in "Schindler's List"?" The question was Luc Besson.
"A girl named Bena, one of the survivors of the Holocaust."
"Well, can you analyze the role of Matilda?"
The person who asked the question was Jules Stewart. Luc Besson cast aside his lips without a trace, saying that she and the creator of the character are good friends, no better. Does this question make sense?
"cold, desperate, helpless, self-willed, rebellious but precocious and strong!" Natalie spoke of Matilda's character in the simplest terms.
Julius gave a satisfied smile, Luc Besson simply stopped asking these meaningless questions, and asked the assistant to take a script to Natalie.
"Can you perform this monologue?"
Natalie rolled her eyes without a trace, and she rummaged through the entire script. Naturally, she knew that this section was one of the most difficult and important shots.
French! Natalie couldn't help thinking of the way Ryan pouted whenever he mentioned the French. Sure enough, the French is not a good thing!
None of these can bother me! I will be the most perfect! One day I will stand at a higher position than Ryan, and then sneer at his disrespectful attitude towards art!
surpassing her friends seems to have become Natalie's motivation and an obsession.
After receiving the mobile phone from the assistant, Natalie took a deep breath. After the cameraman made her start gesture, her temperament instantly changed.
She left the chair a long time ago, crawling forward along the floor, it seems that there is the non-existent **** under her knees.
"Hello!" She grabbed a hand in front and put the phone to her ear.
The assistant who played the role said the line at this time, "This is the Spencer School in New Jersey. I am the principal of McCullin. Is Mr. Landau or Mrs. Landau here?"
Natalie blinked her eyes and hesitated. After looking back, she came up with a countermeasure. Her voice became thicker and disguised as the voice of an adult woman, "I am!"
"Mrs. Landau, when your husband sent Matilda, he told me that she had some'problems'. As you know, we have influenced countless problem girls and made them normal and healthy women. If you don’t send her here, what we can do is extremely limited. Now Matilda has left school without authorization for two weeks. I know your husband paid a year’s tuition in advance..."
Listening to the comments of the so-called ‘problem girl’, Natalie’s expression became more and more gloomy, and her eyes opened wider and wider, which clearly reflected despair and coldness...
"If you can't send her over in time, the tuition fee will be confiscated!"
"She... is dead!"
At this moment, Natalie becomes Matilda, her voice is bleak and sad, like a person who has gone through a tribulation accident, with unconcealable sadness on her face, but she remains strong in despair. Don't let yourself cry weakly.
"Slap~"
seems to be immersed in the role, Natalie snaps the mobile phone to the non-existent landline, tragedy happened, and the Motorola cell phone disintegrated.
"Ah~"
The crisp sound also made her regain her senses. She looked at the parts on the ground and smiled awkwardly.
"It's ok."
Luc Besson waved his hand. In just ten minutes, his perception of this girl has changed drastically.
Although she knew that she played a very important role in Spielberg's work, she always believed that the other party was able to enter the crew of "Schindler's List" because of her relationship with Ryan Jenkins.
Moreover, she is too thin, and she is cute at best. It is too far away from the beautiful and **** Matilda image he imagined.
In his mind, Matilda should be somewhat similar to the girl named Liv Tyler. However, the image of that girl is very suitable, but it is slightly taller, and she has acting skills... well, her acting skills are completely Can be ignored.
As a veteran filmmaker, he knows very well that opposing scenes are often not difficult. Monologues are one of the most challenging places for actors. Moreover, this phone monologue should express Matilda’s personality and living environment. , Can be called one of the most difficult places in the movie.
What I didn’t expect was that this girl was so outstanding. She completed this performance with simple facial expressions and a few eyes. Could it be that she is the same genius as Ryan Jenkins?
Compared with her, the Liv Tyler just now was so much different. In addition to being more photogenic, he suddenly felt that the other party had no advantages, and at best could only become a vase in the lens.
It’s just her figure... The French’s common problem is guilty again. Luc Besson sighed, but don’t think about her figure. This girl is just like Ryan Jenkins, she is completely thin.
Watching the staff take away the wreckage of the mobile phone Natalie spit out her tongue embarrassedly, Xiao Xiao shook her hand at Ryan, and her friend’s attention shifted from behind the camera. Thumbs up to her.
is great? Of course! Natalie turned her head slightly, and pointed her small pointed chin to her friend.
Humph! See my acting skills, Ryan, you are a fool! She couldn't help showing a hint of pride.
"Well, Miss Natalie, we will notify you of the results of the audition as soon as possible."
Luc Besson's face clearly wrote satisfaction, Natalie couldn't help but twitched her mouth, habitually looked at Ryan, and made a silent exchange with her eyes.
you win! Natalie read out the meaning, gave a lady's gift to Julis Stewart and Luc Besson, and walked out of the audition room.
"Boom~"
The moment she walked out of the room, she let out a sigh of relief, I won! Won the French!
"Nate..." Mother came over caringly, and Natalie greeted, "Mom, let's go home and talk as we walk."
just walked out of the studio, and there was a dense sound of footsteps behind him. No need to look back, just listen to the familiar frequency and rhythm. Natalie also knew that Ryan was chasing.
"Nate!"
"Ryan, why are you here?" she asked.
"Congratulations, dear Matilda!" The boy smiled very brightly, and pointed to Jinsli who followed, "In order to celebrate your acquisition of this role, Pat would like to treat you~"
