[Rebirth] King of Theater

Director Costa Winchell's sudden denial stunned both Al and Randy.

Archan is fine...

Randy's face immediately lost that superficially polite smile, but changed into an extremely impatient and indifferent look.Fortunately, this look was only fleeting, probably due to the concern that Al was around, this genius who rarely encountered any setbacks quickly suppressed this displeasure, and asked again with a smile: "Can I May I ask why?"

Director Costa Winchell didn't care about his change of face, but looked at him carefully for a while with regret, and then suddenly asked a question that the two of them had never thought of before: "You haven't starred in a drama, have you? ?”

Then, without waiting for Randy to answer, the director asked himself and answered with certainty: "To be honest, in this circle, there is absolutely no way that an actor with your level of beauty is not famous at all. If not, So, you are either a super newcomer who has only acted in one or two dramas, or your acting skills are too bad and your strength is too low. So, no matter which category you belong to...should I reject you?"

Al and Randy were taken aback for a moment.

Actually because of this...

But I have to say that this reason is actually quite sufficient.

Ignore the possibility of poor acting skills and low strength, just talk about newcomers...

In a few years, the theater stage will be dubbed a 'big training ground' by many actors.

Countless actors with professional background will use the drama stage as a place for practice and training, and strengthen their acting skills through performances.

In this process, although the vast majority of actors are from majors, as long as they are engaged in drama, they have to start with small roles at first.

It’s not that the theater circles talk about seniority. Of course, it’s not ruled out that there are some factors like this, but the most important reason is that the theater stage is too much to test the true strength of actors.

Once an actor steps onto the stage and faces the audience, he has almost nothing to rely on except his own strength. There is no wrong reshoot on the stage, no post-editing, and some just adapt to the situation and persist in acting.

Therefore, if a theater actor does not have more than ten years of stage experience and four or five masterpieces to prove that he has the ability to play the leading role alone, how can he convince the director, producer and screenwriter that he has the ability to play the leading role?

Therefore, it seems a little unreasonable for director Costa Winchell to deny Randy because of a 'newcomer'.

But from his standpoint, it is an expression of responsibility for the whole play.

In other words, if it wasn't Randy who he objected to, even if it was Al, he might think carefully about it at this time. Was his choice of the leading actor a bit too hasty?It's just that, if it's Randy now, it's a different situation.

Because Randy is simply a fake rookie!

He grew up with Matt on the stage since he was a child. Whether it is stage experience, acting skills or singing skills, he is far superior to his peers. In addition, his own talent is surprisingly good, so there is no need to worry about whether he can take on the responsibility of the protagonist. , On the contrary, the other actors should be worried. If he is suppressed by him like Miss Grace back then, it would be terrible.

However, the problem at hand is that...

Al knows these reasons, but he can't come up with any actual evidence.

At this time, maybe he didn't want to get into a stalemate with Al because of the actor's problem.

Director Costa Winchell was still muttering euphemistically at the side: "You can try other roles, as long as it's not the male lead, we can still discuss..."

"It must be the leading actor, I've decided." Al interrupted him directly.

"Excuse me, Director Winchell." He said calmly, "There are some things that we must clarify in advance. This is the first time we have cooperated, but you must know that this cooperation may or may not happen." No. Of course, I have to admit that you have been in the theater industry for many years, and you are also very good at directing. You are more senior than me, knowledgeable, thoughtful, and insightful. But there is one thing that you have to understand first Otherwise, we can't continue talking."

It was probably the first time in history that Director Costa Winchell encountered such an unkind remark, and he was stunned for a while.

Randy also looked at Al in amazement, his sky blue eyes sparkled.

Al said calmly: "Actually, it's a very simple matter. I am the author of this script. You told me before that you want to discuss the producer's affairs. Then, I should be the one who makes the final decision. When investing and finding a budget, it may still be me working hard with the producer. Do you understand what this means?"

Director Costa Winchell couldn't help but frowned and said nothing.

Al went on: "I mean, I'm not the one who wrote this story, it's you; it's not you, I'm the one who wants to turn this story into a musical! That is, if I decide not to do If not, then this musical will not appear at all, and there is no need to find any director or actor.”

"Wait, what do you mean, are you threatening me?"

Director Costa Winchell's face darkened: "You just wrote a script. Could it be that you really feel that I have nothing to do without you?"

"Yes, that's what I think."

Al smiled slightly and didn't back down: "If you think I'm alarmist, think I'm too arrogant and self-important, and think that there is Hugo's "The Man Who Laughs" anyway, any other playwright will be fine. Can write a similar play. Excuse me, please be honest, there is no playwright other than Alfred Sylvie who can make you jump out of the bathtub excitedly and be honest with people Wait, you made up your mind to direct in less than an hour?"

"Mr. Sylvie!!"

"Please don't be angry, I'm just telling the truth."

"Okay, okay! You are going to treat yourself as an irreplaceable existence like Hugo."

"Don't dare, I don't have Hugo's strength right now, otherwise, you wouldn't treat me like this. But I'm working hard towards him. When Hugo wrote "The Laughing Man", he was over 60 years old Yes. But I am not yet 30 years old this year, so who can say in the future."

Director Costa Winchell looked at him dumbfounded.

He was completely overwhelmed by the young playwright's seemingly polite but in fact full of arrogance.

"In short, I hope you can think about it carefully." Al finally said.

Then, he stood up, took Randy's hand, took his leave and left. When he left, he pretended to give the director a time to rethink, but in fact he cunningly felt that this matter might have to be broken!

Since you want to break up, compared to being rejected face to face...

It would obviously be more face-saving to run away before the other party reacted.

So, 5 minutes later, two people appeared on the road in front of Director Winchell's house.

During this process, Randy kept looking at Al with a very strange look.

"what's wrong?"

Al was looked uncomfortable, and asked embarrassedly: "Is there anything wrong with me?"

Randy took a few steps back and looked him over from head to toe.Then, under Al's puzzled gaze, he whistled low suddenly, and said with a smile, "Oh, there's nothing wrong with that. I think you're so beautiful like this, baby! By the way, you can't do it this time." It really opened my eyes."

Al was a little nervous, and hurriedly asked: "Ah, are my words just now too arrogant? It's just that you always have to pretend to be more confident in front of outsiders just now, so as to bluff people..."

"No, no, how can you say it's bluffing? There is nothing arrogant about moving towards the goal of the master."

Randy said very affectionately and apologetically: "Again, I know you did this for me. In fact, I don't care about the leading actor, I just care about you. But after such a trouble, you and that Winchell The cooperation of the director..."

"It's nothing, you were the protagonist I chose."

Al made a small gesture, interrupted him, and at the same time said that there is no need to talk about this matter, and then explained: "Don't mention the issue of actors, the director always has to agree with me, everyone We can only play together. Judging from this incident, Director Winchell is also very proud in his bones. It doesn’t matter if there is a quarrel, I was actually not sure whether I could continue to cooperate with him at the beginning.”

"I always drag you down."

"Is there still a saying between us who is dragging the other? If you say that again, I will be angry. "

"I understand, but I always feel a little guilty."

"Oh, since you feel guilty, let's make it up." Al deliberately put on a philistine and shrewd look and said, "Well, let me think about it this time, and ask you to make up for something..."

Randy laughed: "God, I'm yours now, and I'm up to you."

But he joked with Al indifferently, but he was still thinking about Director Costa Winchell in his heart, and he muttered funny and angrily: "Ah, hell, I am a genius who will be rejected by others." one day!"

The author has something to say:

PS. To give an example of an actor who needs experience, Benedict Cumberbatch (every time I write this hard-to-remember name, I have to re-google it to avoid typos), this man has been running for more than ten years, Check him out on Baidu Encyclopedia and look at the list of his works. The frequent and diligent filming is absolutely shocking!The previous statistics seem to be 14 stage plays, 17 TV dramas, and more than 30 movies... By the way, if the theme of "Melrose" is not for him, I really can't watch it.
