Chapter 263 Hasty audition

Kate-Beckinsale (Kate-Beckinsale) tried to calm down her emotions, but it was obviously not an easy task. She ran fast, along the coastline of Venice Beach, running faster and faster, her brain starved for oxygen The state of sleep will make her temporarily forget about those annoying things, and focus on adjusting her breathing and maintaining her rhythm. However, her breathing became more and more disordered, and she couldn't help but speed up suddenly due to her restless emotions. After destroying the rhythm of running, her breathing began to become more and more rapid, forming a vicious cycle.

In the end, Kate had to slow down, and then supported her knees with both hands. She bent down, panting heavily, hot sweat flowing down her cheeks, falling on the concrete road, accumulating more and more many.

After pausing running, annoyance and anxiety once again occupied the brain in an instant. Just thinking about the poor box office of Van Helsing can't calm her down.

At the beginning of the century, she chose to leave the UK and come to the United States to develop, but at the stage of rapid career rise, the box office failure of Pearl Harbor made her suffer a heavy blow; last year, Underworld finally made her The actor's career once again regained the dawn, but the poor performance of Van Helsing made her encounter obstacles again.

Kate does not have much ambition for the career of an actress. She has always maintained a normal heart, but continuous setbacks have made her life a mess. This feeling of stumbling is really frustrating. This is Hollywood, and this is the real society. Not all efforts can be rewarded, and not all efforts can achieve results.

Salty sweat slid from the eyelashes, stinging the pupils, and Kate had to immediately pull off the towel around her neck and start rubbing her eyes. But at this moment, there was a vibration from the sports armband tied to her arm. Kate realized that it was the phone ringing, which immediately made her flustered. She had to open the armband with her eyes closed, and took out her phone. Pick up the phone, put it to your ear...

This series of actions seemed clumsy, first the towel almost lost, then the change in the arm ring fell out, she was stung by sweat when she tried to open her eyes, and she almost pressed the reject button when she pressed the answer button... The repressed anger in her heart began to burn again, which made Kate grit her teeth fiercely, and couldn't help but start to get angry with herself.

But after getting on the phone, Kate temporarily suppressed her emotions, and said to the receiver with the last remaining patience, This is Kate, please speak.

Kate, it's Cole. The voice on the other end of the phone shocked Kate. It was her manager. Recently, Cole hadn't contacted her for nearly a month, as if the whole world had quieted down. The flustered feeling of being forgotten turned into stress, and Kate couldn't breathe. Before Kate could catch her breath, though, Cole continued, Are you in town now?

Kate only had time to answer Yes, and then Cole continued, Hurry over to Century City as soon as possible, there is an audition here. The address is Room 401, 21 Green Ridge Avenue. Remember two points , as soon as possible, dress the best, and must be given absolute attention! I will send you a text message to confirm the specific information, do you have any questions?

Uh...not for the time being. Kate's brain was obviously hypoxic, and she felt that she couldn't keep up with Cole's rhythm at all, so she could only reluctantly nodded in agreement, and then Cole hung up the phone directly, obviously the situation was very urgent.

Standing in place, Kate's chest was still heaving up and down rapidly, her sluggish brain froze, and finally she came to her senses: She actually got another chance to audition! Moreover, Cole's tone was not only very cautious, but also emphasized the importance again, even more solemn than the original Pearl Harbor audition, which made Kate's heart beat wildly - but this time it was no longer irritability, but It's hyper.

Looking back, there was an endless sea behind her. Kate suddenly felt a little dazed. She stood there and didn't know what to write. After a few seconds, she realized that she turned around and ran towards Santa Monica Avenue. past. Finding a free taxi on the streets of Los Angeles is never an easy task. Most of the time you have to call to make an appointment, but this time, Kate only ran less than a hundred yards and saw a taxi. It pulled over on the side of the road and a passenger just got out of the car.

Kate ran over quickly, but she didn't want to. Just as she ran to the door of the car, another business man in a neat suit also walked to the door. Kate's speed was even half a step slower, which made her suddenly embarrassed. Out of politeness, she should back off and give in, but at this time the situation was urgent, and she couldn't care about these anymore.

Just when she was hesitating, the man showed a polite smile, his emerald green eyes were like a quiet and mysterious lake in the Rocky Mountains, and then the man took half a step back, motioning for her to get in the car first. Kate didn't have time to be polite, so she could only nod politely to the other party, Thank you, thank you very much. After speaking, she quickly got into the car and reported her address to the driver, and the taxi came back soon started up.

Kate let out a long breath and relaxed a little. After thinking about it, he turned his head and looked behind him. The man still retreated to the side of the road. He stood upright on the spot, took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, and covered the lighter with his right hand amidst the raging sea breeze. After lighting the cigarette, the slender knuckles were looming in the lingering smoke... Then, the taxi turned into Santa Monica Boulevard without seeing anything.

Go home, take a bath, change clothes, go out again, take a taxi, and arrive at Green Ridge Street.

When Kate stood in the elevator of the office building, her messy brain finally calmed down gradually. In fact, at this time, she still doesn't know anything about the upcoming audition. She doesn't know who she is facing, which work she is participating in, and what role she is going to audition for... The lack of information made her a little nervous, and the repeated obstacles in her career recently made her feel uncertain, so she had to secretly clenched her fists to cheer herself up, You can do it, you can do it!

The elevator opened, and Kate took a deep breath. Although it had been forty minutes since she received Cole's call, the passage of time left her with little time to calm down and think, so she could only act accordingly. However, after getting out of the elevator, Kate couldn't help being stunned. She almost thought she had come to the wrong place.

The corridor in front of me was messy, with all kinds of packing boxes and plastic foam piled up, it looked like a construction site. The office on the left is empty, with nothing in it, just like the absurd appearance of a scam company after being investigated; the one on the right is bustling with people coming and going, but the busy scene is typical of a new company It looks like it's being renovated.

Is this the audition location? Even the dank stage dressing room in London's West End is far more reliable than it looks here.

Kate took out her mobile phone and reconfirmed Cole's text message. The address and floor were correct, so what happened. At this time, a worker came over carrying a large box and threw it in the corridor. Kate hurriedly stepped forward, Good afternoon, is this Chaos Films?

Yes, go in and turn left. The worker seemed to be accustomed to this, and replied skillfully, and then walked in first. When he reached the door, the worker turned his head and saw Kate who was standing still. He blew a whistle to attract Kate's attention, then turned his head, Your companion is over there.

Kate raised her voice to say thank you and walked over quickly. Walking into the gate, the office that is gradually taking shape appears in front of you. The sunlight penetrates the entire glass wall and falls unimpeded, full of vitality. When you look to the left, you find a small group of people standing beside it. They are all acquaintances.

Hey, Kate, you're here too. The bald man standing facing the door greeted first, which immediately made Kate's heart hanging in mid-air fall back into her chest—at least she didn't look for the wrong place.

Jason! Kate walked up quickly, nodded to Jason-Statham (Jason-Statham), and then stood beside Jeremy-Renner (Jeremy-Renner), Neil-McDonald ( Neil-McDonough) greeted one after another, and then froze. This combination was really unexpected, which made Kate a little puzzled.

Jason is Kate's fellow British. He has starred in works such as Two Smoking Barrels and Desperate Express. Jeremy is a newcomer, not even a third-tier actor. Last year's Anti-Terrorist SWAT Team with Colin Farrell also had mediocre results; Neil has been active on the small screen of TV dramas, and even once planned to give up acting Later, Cole won him an audition opportunity for Band of Brothers, which made him successful, and he was able to cooperate with Tom Cruise in Minority Report the year before last.

First of all, there is no doubt that they are all artists under Cole's banner; but none of the four of them has achieved great success in their careers, and more often they appear in action movies.

Is this an action commercial blockbuster? Kate couldn't help asking curiously, but the three of them thought about it seriously and nodded suddenly, which made Kate look at the three of them speechlessly, Really? Are you kidding me? right? She just guessed casually, the clues couldn't be more obvious, and the three of them hadn't guessed it before.

Jason scratched his bald head, We don't know anything, we'll wait here after we get here. Then he looked around at the busy people around him, and he couldn't help but lower his voice and say, I suspect, here Is it some scam company, everything feels wrong.

Before he finished speaking, Jason immediately shut up, pretending to be nonchalant and looking elsewhere, Neil and Jeremy also quickly looked away.

When Kate turned around, she saw a man standing behind them exuding a cold aura. His cold face raised his eyebrows slightly, and even without speaking, he sent out a mocking message of you must be joking, Let Kate avert her eyes in embarrassment.
