[US Entertainment] 1994

Josh stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling mirror trying on the suit shirt sent by Colin. No one in this world knew Josh's body size better than his gentle brother Colin. This suit seemed to be tailor-made, with shoulders and crotch The wrapping is just right, and the details are more careful and considerate. After putting it on, Josh immediately transformed from a childish college student into a young elite, not the greasy elite, but the excellent but lively one.

Flipping the inside of the clothes, Josh couldn't help muttering the familiar G logo on the sign: "Damn guy, spending money again."

Colin was more careful with Josh than his mother Lisa to some extent. Just this week, Josh received a lot of clothes and various items from Colin, except for this expensive suit In addition, there are sweaters and coats of various well-known brands. Although the income level of the Josh family can fully afford such consumption, as the only one in the family who has no income and eats together to die, Josh Still feel ashamed sometimes.

"Hey Colin, don't send me such expensive clothes next time, I have to spend time every day to wash my precious things by hand, and if they break, the dollars slip out of my hands. "

Colin's voice was as gentle as ever, but it sounded a bit annoying to Josh's ears, because the guy said, "Don't worry about Josh, I just completed a big order, and there are hundreds of thousands of commissions."

"Poor Colin."

"Josh, you will break my brother's heart by saying that, come on, my dear brother, I look forward to the day I see you on TV."

"Thanks, you'll see."

Along with the clothes, there was also a large amount of pocket money that was enough for Josh to live comfortably for a long time. At first, Josh was ashamed of his life as a rice bug, but after a long time, he was able to spend without any burden. The reason for this money is very simple. If he doesn't spend it, he will starve to death, so let's spend it.

On this day, Josh also received an audition notice from the "Unruly Sky" crew. The audition location was at a hotel more than two hours away from the apartment. Josh had to ask Edgar to drive him there. Resting, he readily accepted Josh's request.

"The truth is, the girl I dated last time lives nearby, and I've already contacted her in advance." Edgar shook his phone and proudly said to Josh.

Driving was a bit boring, and Edgar happily told Josh about all the details of his date with that girl in the ballroom, even the most detailed parts, but Josh didn't like to hear him mention these things, he His thoughts flew to that encounter that day. He didn't even know that person's face or name, but somehow slept with him and was still impressed. No matter how you think about it, this kind of thing is very strange.

After the date was finished, Edgar began to care about Josh's audition again: "What kind of work is that, a movie or a TV series?"

"Movie."

While talking to Edgar, Josh released the system in his mind. As before, the interface of the system was still empty, like a work made by a programmer. The only change was the task. On the time progress bar, 30 days have quietly passed out of 23 days, only the number 7 hangs on it alone, and the one representing the progress of the task is still zero.

As if laughing at Josh silently.

The worst thing is that the system is sometimes a little mischievous and careful. When there are 30 days left, the number representing the time is still light green, which is very comfortable to look at the eyes. By the 20th day, it will turn fluorescent yellow , As for today - Josh twitched his mouth helplessly, he really couldn't like shit yellow or something!

If you have the ability to show the rainbow!

Josh's thoughts flashed for a moment, but the system seemed to hear his thoughts. The number 7 immediately flashed red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple in sequence. Coupled with the empty black interface, it seemed like heavy non-mainstream music. People can hardly keep their eyes open.

The corners of Josh's eyes twitched and he turned off the system, but the dazzling light just now was still flashing in front of his eyes, and Josh felt like he was blind.

"I really hate rainbows the most."

"What, rainbow? Is there a rainbow now, Josh?" Edgar glanced out, the sun was warm, and there was no sign of rain at all.

Josh shook his head: "It's nothing, I just thought of the plot of a movie."

Edgar smiled softly: "This is also the reason why you can develop in Hollywood. If it were me, I would go to the cinema because I was dating a girl, but after I go out, I will never remember what the plot of the movie is, because I All the energy is on the girls!"

"Edgar, do you know?"

"what?"

"Before I got acquainted with you, I always thought you were just a hard-working young man."

Edgar retorted: "I also thought you were a seasoned young man."

The setting is exactly reversed.

Driving for two hours is definitely not a comfortable thing. Josh also felt a little tired while sitting in the car. He half-lyed in the back seat and listened to music with his eyes closed. land.

The decoration of the hotel in the 90s was far less grand than that of later generations. Josh learned about the audition location from the front desk and walked over slowly.

The audition time hadn't arrived yet. Although there was a waiting sign hanging in the room, there were only three or four people sitting and waiting, far less than the number of people in "Law and Order".

Probably because "Booty Sky" is a gay film, young actors who think they have a bright future are willing to take on many roles-and this film does not show any signs of success, the director is unknown, the subject matter is awkward and limited, The investment is not available, which means that it is unknown whether the film can start shooting, so even though the crew of "Uninhibited Sky" chose to audition openly, very few actors are willing to participate.

Auditions in Hollywood are different from what the outside world imagines. It is a completely closed environment. The development of the 90s and [-]s constitutes its unique survival rules, which are difficult for non-industry insiders to touch and break easily.

In fact, if "The Uninhibited Sky" is a new film by the great director Steven Spielberg or George Lucas, the crew does not need to worry about the composition of the actors at all, because each well-connected brokerage company will first issue a A list of backup actors is sent to the crew. After the crew selects the candidates, the candidates are initially selected, and then the actors are selected from these suitable people.

In this case, unless the producer or a sufficiently big-name director volunteers to open an audition, ordinary actors will have the opportunity to participate in some relatively large projects.

The role of brokerage companies is undoubtedly prominent, which is one of the reasons why Michael Ovitz, head of CAA, is known as the most influential figure in Hollywood.

He played the game of marketing and packaging so well that even the biggest film companies had to hold their noses to accept the price he offered. There was no way. He had all the stars in his hands. If you don’t listen to him, you won’t like it. stars to participate.

In contrast, the situation in "Unruly Sky" can be described as tragic, but a large part of the reason for the lack of people is that this audition is for the male lead. The crew has requirements on the age and image of the actors, plus the audition arranged by the crew The location is a bit far for most young people with dreams, so——

Josh looked around, and there were only a few minutes left before the audition, and there were less than 20 people in the entire waiting room.

It didn't feel like an audition venue for a Hollywood film at all, but rather like a campus cast casting for actors.

When the time comes, the staff will issue a number plate to each auditioner. Josh’s number plate is in the middle, number 10. He thinks this is a pretty good number, but the number 9 in front of him and the number 11 in the back Obviously they don't think so.

"Obviously No. 3 and No. 4 are more suitable. The interviewers will not be as harsh as No. 1 and No. 2. The final number plate is also okay. Once the interviewers feel that today's auditioners are not good enough, the impression left by the last few Relatively deep, they will pick the last few, and the middle? No one will remember you, unless you are a little boy like Brad Pitt."

"Brad Pitt, who is that?"

"A little boy who is so lucky that it makes people uncomfortable, and my house is on the same street. We both have dreams of being actors. He always tries to get the latest news from the film company from my mouth. However, every time we go to the audition together, we are rejected. Directors are always looking for that guy."

"I'm still playing a role in various crews. That lucky guy has starred in several works, and was recently promoted by Ridley Scott to play a role in his movie."

No. 9 is a very talkative guy. Thanks to him, Josh has also heard a lot of gossip. It is still 90 years ago. Caprio is still a kid. The famous Tom cruise is not yet 30 years old at this time, and he is still in the stage of initial accumulation of resources. He can witness their success history with his own eyes, or he can become their competitor in the future. Joe I find it very interesting.

"Pause, we'll be here soon." No. 9 frowned while talking, "Do you feel that today's audition is a bit fast, does the crew already have a pre-determined candidate?"

Josh's pupils were slightly dilated, and a trace of surprise flashed across his eyes.

It seems...it's really fast!

The author has something to say: update~~~

So sleepy, I went out for a while on Friday.

I watched "Pirates of the Caribbean 5" yesterday, and it was okay. Although it is not comparable to the first three films, the crew is still very careful about the cast.

It's just that the plot is a bit weak, which is a common problem in blockbuster movies.
