006 Wait for notification
The audition was over, and the alternate actors still stayed on the stage, standing in a row neatly and conscientiously; there were rustling chatter from the audience, and it was obvious that they were exchanging opinions, and it was very likely that they would decide on the role on the spot..
Everyone almost unanimously turned their attention to Renly - during the audition just now, Renly deservedly dominated, and his outstanding performance gave almost no chance to others..
Lamy was no exception. Recalling Renly's happy, relaxed and casual attitude during the waiting process, he looked confident and confident. Even his nervousness was relieved a little. Involuntarily, Lamy raised his head. At first, he didn't want to but unexpectedly met Renly's eyes. His eyes, as deep as the vast night sky, were glowing with light. The thrilling light made Lamy twitch the corner of his mouth in panic and smiled awkwardly. , to cover up one’s own embarrassment.
But after thinking about it carefully, he looked up again and said cautiously, "Your performance just now was very wonderful."！”
Renly didn't seem to expect Lamy's initiative to talk to him. He raised his eyebrows slightly, and then chuckled, "We are all trying to show the most perfect performance, hoping to impress the people below, right?" That confidence But not arrogant, humorous but with a slightly joking tone, which made Lamy laugh involuntarily..
Turning around, Lamy looked at the audience and complained in a low voice, "They look like they are discussing national affairs in the State Council." The teasing tone also showed his humor..
Indeed, the discussion in the audience lasted for nearly five minutes, and there was still no result. This was really abnormal. Because this was still in the audition process, decisions were either made on the spot or discussed afterwards. Generally, discussions will not take too long on site. Avoid disrupting the audition schedule, and try to keep the average audition time for each group of auditions at about ten minutes..
“Steven, give me a reason, give me a reason why Renly is not good enough." Tom's stubbornness also increased, he turned sideways and looked at Steven face to face, and raised his voice slightly to express his persist in.
Steven was unmoved. He shook his head calmly, "It's not that Renly is not good enough, it's that we have a better choice!" The other staff members nearby closed their mouths obediently and looked at these two The boss argued so hard that no one even dared to remind them to pay attention to the time. They just held their breath and tried to eliminate their sense of existence..
“If you say, let him play other roles, there is no problem! I can make a decision right now. He is very good. He can play many roles, but what we are talking about now is the character of Eugene. He is the soul of the entire series. He is not just the leading actor, but he also has a lot of personality. It places our spiritual reliance on this series! "Unknowingly, Steven's voice also rose slightly, with a slightly excited look on his face, and he pushed back without giving in, "So, yes, I refuse to let him play the role of Eugene. I refuse such a role without him. A strange young man with any acting experience to play Eugene! Yeah, I think we have better options than him！”
“Joseph-Mazzello? "Tom said directly without any pause. Because he was so excited, he even stood up slightly, and then fell down, clearly expressing the turbulence in his heart, "Steven, I know you like him very much, and I also know that he He is a very good actor, but compared to Renly, he is really not good enough.”
Joseph is a child actor who is 26 years old this year. In 1992, he starred in "The Big Blue", cooperating with Elijah-Wood. At that time, Steven and George Lucas (Gee-Lucas) ) visited the set and was so impressed by his performance that Steven expressed on the spot that he hoped Joseph could play "Captain Hook". Unfortunately, because Joseph was only seven years old at the time, he was too young and had to give up..
After that, Steven even took the initiative to modify the character's age and background in order to allow Joseph to star in "Jurassic Park"; and during the preparation of the "Artificial Intelligence" work, Joseph was also Steven's first choice. Unfortunately, the preparation period was too long and the schedule was missed, resulting in the cooperation not being able to take place..
When preparing for "Pacific War", the soul characters of the play, Eugene and Steven, were reserved for Joseph from the beginning, hoping to achieve a second cooperation between the two parties, which shows his preference for this actor. Even masters like Stanley-Kubrick favored Joseph when he was alive..
But now, Tom hopes to give Eugene to Renly for the role, which has become the focus of dispute between the two parties..
“Jesus Christ! He is only twenty years old! There are no works to speak of before this! Just now, you just looked at that...how long? Sixty seconds? Ninety seconds of performance? And then..." Steven was also a little excited, but Tom didn't show any weakness and interrupted Steven directly, "But originally Eugene was only nineteen years old.！“
Steven stood up immediately, "But he doesn't have that fragile firmness! This is why I insist on using Joseph!" The uncontrollable voice broke through the shackles of the audience, making all the actors on the stage They were all frightened, but because they didn’t hear the cause and effect, they were just confused..
“Steven, Tom..." Someone next to him finally stood up and said bravely, "We can discuss it slowly after we go back. Now, we don't have enough time..." The following words paused again hesitantly. , looking at the two big guys carefully.
Steven sat down directly, then turned his back to Tom; Tom also sat upright again, supported his chin with his right hand, and looked at the stage without saying a word, as if no one was there at all..
The tense atmosphere was really frightening, but at least it stopped temporarily. "Ahem." The casting director cleared his throat and brought everyone's attention back together, "That's all for today's audition. , you can leave now, just wait for notification of follow-up messages..“
Wait for notification？
The result of the nearly seven-minute argument was "waiting for notification"? Suddenly, all eyes fell on Renly again, full of disbelief - if even Renly's amazing performance could not impress the crew, then who would win the chance to perform in "Pacific War" ? this……
As a person involved, Renly couldn't hide his disappointment. To be honest, his performance just now was really good, he was in excellent condition, and showed his best performance in recent times. Coupled with the controversy and discussion on the scene, expectations inevitably began to go away. He climbed up the ladder, and now he actually got this answer - "Waiting for notification". Anyone who has participated in an audition or interview knows that this answer often means that there is no news and nothing has happened. This gap makes Renly a little disappointed..
Maybe, the talk show at the beginning has already predicted the current result, right?？
Thinking of the phone call from his parents before the audition, he still felt a little heavy. However, this was just his first audition. The negative emotions only stayed in his chest for a moment, and then turned into a cloud of smoke and dissipated. Without a trace, after being bedridden for ten years and living in two lives, he learned to be open-minded. The smile on the corner of his mouth was gently outlined, like a wisp of red clouds on the horizon at six o'clock in the afternoon, soft and bright..
Turning around, Renly took the lead and left the stage. Lamy was stunned for a moment, looked around, and then noticed that the next group of alternate actors at the entrance was ready. He quickly followed Renly's footsteps, and everyone People left the theater one after another.
Back outside, the fresh air made the dull atmosphere suddenly brighter. Lamy looked at Renly's retreating back, hesitated for a moment, and then plucked up the courage to catch up with him in big strides, "Hey, Lan Li." Lamy once again realized that the height difference between him and Renly was too fatal, and it was particularly difficult for his short legs to run..
Fortunately, Renly stopped and waited on the spot. Lamy slowed down and stopped in front of Renly. He gasped for air, but found that he had been reckless, and his prepared words suddenly became a blur. Blank, looking at Renly's questioning eyes, Lamy held back and said, "...I think you can definitely get the role!" The words were extremely sure. After finishing speaking, Lamy nodded firmly, "I is serious！”
However, after meeting by chance, Lamy sincerely expressed his support and affirmation. Renly's smile also had a touch of warmth, "I believe that you can definitely be seen in 'Pacific War'; and, I have a hunch that the role is definitely not light..”
There was an undeniable firmness to Renly's determined look, without any courtesy at all. Lamy couldn't help but want to believe these words, but the surprise and astonishment in his mind couldn't stop at all. What he just said His performance is far inferior to that of Renly. If even Renly was rejected, how could he be selected?？
However, before Lamy could continue to ask, Renly waved goodbye. Lamy only had time to say "goodbye" and then watched Renly move forward again. The turmoil in his heart had just begun..
Renly wasn't being polite, not really, because that's the truth..
Rami not only successfully starred in "The Pacific", playing an important role in it, second only to the two core characters; but he also later won the Emmy Award for Outstanding Drama Series for the series "The Matrix" The honor of actor, after six years of struggling in the third-tier stage of Hollywood, ushered in the spring of his acting career..
Lamy’s calf-like eyes are particularly recognizable. He was born in 1981, but due to the prominent eyes, he has always had a baby face. Even in 2017, he does not look much different from now. , as if time has simply forgotten his existence..
After leaving the theater and bathing in the thin and lazy sunshine of New York, Renly took a deep breath of the slightly restless air, and his mood couldn't help but rise again. The audition just now was just the beginning, an insignificant beginning. He once again has the opportunity to rewrite his life. This is the most important thing, isn't it?？
2009In the midsummer of the year, Renly's dream journey sounded the clarion call to set off..
Renly took his skateboard from the guard at the entrance of the theater, thanked him, threw the skateboard on the ground, stepped on it lightly, kicked off his left foot, and he flew on the wind..
