[US Entertainment] 1994

Josh, who has been running around in Hollywood for more than half a year, is already familiar with the job of auditioning - Los Angeles is a big city, but if you only focus on Hollywood, the circle is so narrow.During the past six months, Josh traveled to many audition venues, large and small, and many crews even arranged the audition venues in the same place.

Today's audition is no different from Josh's previous auditions - except for the addition of "Unruly Sky" starring in his resume, but Josh does not think this experience will affect today's audition results, Hollywood There are many actors who have played leading roles but are still unknown. They may star in an independent film costing tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of dollars, or they may play the leading role in a short film with great influence, but this does not affect them. The reality of being shut out of Hollywood.

Although "Uninhibited Sky" is starring River Phoenix, the subject matter and style of the film doom it to be difficult to be accepted by the mainstream Hollywood market. Even if the filming has ended for a while, it is still unknown whether the film will be released.

That's why Gus Van Sant set his sights on film festivals and film festivals in the United States and overseas, hoping to accumulate popularity and add chips to the release of the film in the United States.

The audition location for "My Cousin Vinny" was arranged in a hotel in Los Angeles near Beverly Hills. Through the huge glass of the hotel conference room, you can see the huge signboard of "Hollywood" in the distance. The moment the scenery came into his eyes, Josh clearly saw the envy in the eyes of many people.

Beverly Hills, every actor's dream.

Josh looked away after just one glance. The scenery of Beverly Hills is really attractive. For the newcomers who are struggling in the major studios, it is full of mystery, like a treasure waiting for people to dig , but for Josh, this treasure is too far away, it will only disturb his mind, and it will not help his audition results today.

"If I could see Michelle Pfeiffer coming out of it, I'd die with no regrets!"

"Come on buddy, don't forget our purpose today, we are here to audition, not to chase stars, those high-ranking stars don't have to line up for a role like us, we can only pick up the garbage they don't want! "

The conversation between the two people in front rushed into his ears, and the corners of Josh's mouth could not help but slightly curl up.

Even Drew Barrymore, who fell from the altar and was ridiculed by everyone, is in a much better situation than them. She is at least from the Barrymore family and has a godfather named Steven Spielberg. She is at least With steadfast movie fans, when she changes her mind and re-enters her career, she can easily create another glories, but the tricks will always be just tricks.

Envy and jealousy are meaningless when you are not strong enough. Only when you are strong enough can you be qualified to choose.

"Hey buddy, I saw you smiling, and you think I'm right, don't you?"

The young boy who was not tall and had a little freckle on his face suddenly turned around and looked at Josh with doubts: "Dude, are you here for today's audition too?"

Josh nodded: "That's right."

"If I remember correctly, this should be a comedy movie." The other party's doubts became stronger, and Josh couldn't help laughing at the tangled look: "I don't look like I'm here for an audition Is it?"

Josh thought that the other party would casually prevaricate this question, but who knew that the other party nodded: "You look like the kind of person who participated in the Mr. Really, you're not at all suited to comedy movies."

The other party raised his arm and suddenly made a face at Josh: "Only a natural comedian like me is suitable for comedy movies."

"Okay." Josh patted his chest, "You really scared me, but now there is no Mr. America, only Miss America. Even if I go to that kind of draft, Shi Shi will be more popular. Muscular men like Vaxinge, I have no ability to compete with them."

The other party suddenly smiled confidently: "Dude, it's your misfortune to be behind me. I've been preparing for this role for half a month, and I don't even have time to eat. I'm a natural comedian. When I was ten years old , I have already played the leading role in a children's program in the community, and since then, I have firmly established my goal of developing in Hollywood..."

Josh rubbed his head silently, pretending to be touching his hair, gently covered his ears with his fingers, and let the other party brag for more than ten minutes.

He regretted that sudden smile just now.

Fortunately, this torture didn't last too long. Soon, the "natural comedian" in front of him had already gone in for an audition, and Josh finally gained temporary peace.

But soon, when the staff called out Josh's number plate, the calmness in Josh's heart was replaced by the nervousness at the beginning of the audition. He wanted to keep calm, but his heart seemed to be beating uncontrollably, until he left After the short journey from the waiting room to the audition room, his mood gradually calmed down.

Also because he kept his emotions under control, Josh didn't notice that the moment he entered the door, two of the seven interviewers frowned.

"Josh Walter?" The interviewer sitting in the middle called out Josh's name, "I'm Jonathan Lynn, the director of this film, I think you should already know the rules of this audition, you have One minute of preparation time, after one minute, please start your performance."

Josh nodded: "No problem, Mr. Director."

The audition has lasted for more than two hours since the morning. The actors waiting for the audition like Josh may still feel a little fresh, but the interviewers are already extremely impatient, especially when Josh enters the door. The impatience has soared to the extreme - even though Josh's face is pleasing enough, in the eyes of these interviewers, he is a vase that is completely unsuitable for comedy.

It also meant that he would lose several minutes of his time.

It also means that the discomfort that the interviewers felt throughout the morning will continue.

This "My Cousin Vinny" is invested by Twentieth Century Fox, the director invited Jonathan Vinny, and the starring role is Joe Pesci, who is a strong contender for this year's Oscar for Supporting Actor. Joe Pesci is in comedy There is no doubt about his skill, but his appearance is not outstanding. He has participated in one or two of "Home Alone", and the stupid thief he played has impressed many audiences.In addition, the crew also specially conducted public auditions for the role of Billy, and the interviewers invited were all well-known figures in the comedy industry.

Including well-known screenwriters who have written several comedy films.

Nothing could be worse than being forced to listen to a morning of unfunny moves and lines for these comedy experts.

To make matters worse, the actors who auditioned had no idea how terrible their performances were. Their contrived movements and overly creamy tone made people feel tired, but they still stubbornly believed that their performances were the best.

There is no doubt that Josh is also classified into the same category by them.

Josh breathed a sigh of relief, looking straight ahead: "I'm ready."

Jonathan Lynn put down his pen and looked at Josh with his chin resting.

The moment Josh started performing, Jonathan Lynn had a look of surprise on his face. He was surprised to find that Josh's demeanor had completely changed at this moment. The first impression he gave Jonathan Lynn was that he was handsome and sunny. Young man, at this moment, handsome is still handsome, but he already gives the impression that he is an ordinary and honest college student.

"Boy, why did you do that?" an interviewer read out his lines.

Josh looked at him in surprise, but his mind was still relaxed: "To supplement protein."

"For protein?"

"Yes, sir."

The next moment, the interviewer told Josh that he was suspected of killing the convenience store owner.

Josh trembled nervously, and fell directly from the chair: "What?"

His movements are so exaggerated that the interviewers can't tell whether he is acting or a real reaction-Jonathan Lynn has drawn circles on Josh's resume, although Josh only showed short In just a few minutes, he has proved that he is not a vase of reality. Although his talent in comedy cannot be seen for the time being, compared to those auditions just now that only considered exaggerated effects, but completely ignored the characteristics of the big screen. The readers are much better off.

Knowing that he was involved in a murder case, Josh quickly called his mother for help.

"Mom, we're in jail!" Josh quickly called, but the mother on the other end of the phone didn't care about his life at all, only worried about his friend's safety.

Josh sighed, his eyes helpless: "He's fine, I'm the principal offender, and he's an accessory."

"Oh, as long as he's fine, I'm relieved!"

The helplessness on Josh's face was even worse. In order to express his bad mood, he even grabbed his hair: "Mom, I have to hire a lawyer, which will cost a lot of money."

"Son, death is also a relief!"

Josh: "..."

The time left for the actors to perform in the audition is very short, so Josh must fully express his emotions in this short minute or so. According to the requirements of the script and his own vision, in this scene of performance, Josh completely A helpless, even speechless character is vividly interpreted.

At the beginning, he was a little scared, because death is a cruel and terrible thing for everyone, but after he talked to his mother, his emotions were completely dominated by his mother, and he would naturally feel relaxed and funny The meaning is expressed naturally.

After the performance, Josh looked anxiously at the interviewers opposite, but no one responded to him.After a few minutes of silence, Jonathan Lynn smiled at Josh and said, "The performance was wonderful. If we finally choose you, we will call you."

"Thank you."

Josh smiled slightly, opened the door and walked out.
