[US Entertainment] Superstar

These actresses who can come to audition are basically simply screened by Columbia Pictures, not just based on appearance, most of them have acting experience.

If you don't have performance experience, then it must be a big brokerage company who came in to try their luck.

Even a Hollywood giant like Columbia Pictures sometimes gives CAA, WMA and other brokerage companies a face, anyway, it's just an audition.

Mandy originally planned to introduce these people to Eve, but the lounge was quiet, and she didn't want to break the silence. The overall atmosphere was awkward, and no one interacted with each other at all.

Everyone is here for the same role, why bother to pretend!

Not long after, a middle-aged woman in a suit skirt and black-rimmed glasses walked in: "Thank you for coming to Columbia to audition. Next, I will distribute the scripts. They are all random fragments. Everyone may be different, and there may be similarities." One segment. Everyone has one hour, and then we will directly shoot the audition screen in the next room, and the director and producer will make a selection based on the shooting results and notify everyone within three working days."

Eve frowned, she didn't understand what was going on.

Don't you act directly to the director?

Just in time, she had doubts in her heart, and when she walked over to get the cut version of the script, she asked in a low voice: "Ma'am, may I ask, will the director be there when the audition later?"

"will not."

"Okay, thanks."

Eve always felt a little weird. Wouldn't it be so important to watch the live performance for such an important audition, and trust the filmed things so much?

Mandy knew that Eve didn't like the habit of being around people when she was reading. She took the initiative to say: "Miss Campbell, I'm going to go to the bathroom. If there is anything that needs me, please call me. I will come in immediately."

"You are so considerate." Eve said gratefully, "You find a place to sit and rest, don't worry about me."

She was going to race against time to make full use of this hour, not only to memorize the lines, but more importantly, to stand up the characters as a whole in a short time.

Opening the edited version of the script numbered 9, Eve worked meticulously.

[Exterior view of Concord big tent in the evening]

The three elements of the script are revealed in the first line, whether it is an interior scene or an exterior scene, the location and time of the story are clear at a glance.

Eve didn't know where the so-called Concord was, but it didn't affect it.

William walked out of the backstage, and Penny just caught up with the young man in the barbecue area. In the distance, the Still Water Band performed music for the audience, and the two of them each had an access card on their chests.

Penny had just had her birthday, and Rothall had written her a sweet poem to celebrate, but the Stillwaters were all flying to New York, and only her suitcase was still by the door.

At this time, William knew the plan of the manager of Stillwater and Rossol. He felt sad and worthless for Penny in his heart. He had been with the band for so long, but he became the only one who was abandoned.

But she was so stupid that she didn't know it at all. She thought that she and Russell were true love, but she didn't know that the other party had already lost her to another band.

"what……"

Eve's whole body was separated from this story in an instant, and it became more and more familiar the more she watched it!

She quickly turned to the back and found that Petunia Lane was really sold to the Crude Band for "fifty dollars and a case of beer".

"Isn't this Keanu secretly gossip about his teammate Rob? How did it become the plot of "Almost Famous"?"

Eve has a lot of questions in her head, and she really wants to know how Keanu knows the plot of this movie. It is impossible for director Cameron to get inspiration from Rob's gossip.

Did he also play a role in this movie?

This may be the only correct guess.

She almost took out the phone from her bag, but this was not a place to chat at all, so Eve could only forcefully suppress her curiosity and write down the script first.

This part of the script I got had too many lines, and even the whole story was a conversation between Penny and William. If my memory wasn't good enough, I wouldn't be able to remember so many lines!

She didn't dare to be distracted anymore, and planned to ask Keanu after the audition and filming to see if she could get an answer.

Among these competitors, she may be the only one who knows about the changes in Rossall's relationship with Penny, which gives her a huge advantage.

It is difficult to judge the overall thing only by looking at individual fragments of the script, and the emotions in the performance are completely different.

Sure enough, it is Hollywood, superstars have too many privileges, and a slight tilt can cause different effects.

Knowing part of the movie's plot in advance is Eve's advantage, but it doesn't give her peace of mind. The most important thing is whether she can perform the script smoothly!

If Penny can't be performed vividly, then she can't be selected even if she memorizes the entire script backwards. In the final analysis, it is the combined effect of acting skills and appearance, and the two must achieve harmony and unity.

Reciting lines is not about rote memorization, but about understanding the mood of the characters at the time, and following the changes in the mood of the characters to memorize the lines, which is much easier.

In addition, you must maintain a coherent performance during the audition. Even if you can't remember the lines, you must perform smoothly, pretend that nothing happened, and everything must be calm and abnormal.

Otherwise, if you stumble, stutter, and forcefully recall the lines, the performance will definitely be unimaginably bad.

Unlike acting in the crew, you can repeat it over and over again during the actual performance, but the audition shooting is basically a chance, no matter what the performance looks like, it can only be stored in a freeze frame.

Eve knew that she definitely didn't have a male character to help with the play, and there would be no William talking to her beside her. Everything was performed by herself, so the emotional changes had to be more obvious, especially the pretentious generosity at the end.

……

"Ladies, whoever reads the name, please come with me to this room for filming. Michelle, Ruby, Alma, Eve."

Eve stood up, and she handed over the script and bag to Mandy, who came back a few minutes ago, for safekeeping. Although she didn't understand why four people were filming together, she looked very imposing, and followed the staff on high heels.

Among the four of them, she only knew Michelle Monaghan, and the other two didn't look familiar, and she didn't know their acting skills.

The staff left them at the door of a room respectively, and the four of them were filming at the same time!

Eve opened the door and went in, and saw several staff members in the spacious room, including those pushing cameras, those holding microphones, and the lighting engineer who was adjusting the lights. An assistant was holding a reflector to reflect the light to Eve. Fu, on the far side is a middle-aged man with a trade union badge, who seems to be supervising the shooting situation.

Where Eve and others couldn't see, director Cameron Crowe was sitting in front of the monitor, watching the performance of the four of them attentively.

The four monitors are arranged in the shape of a field, and the posture looks very large.

The director of the production department, Matt, was sitting on the sidelines, not knowing which one to look at. He couldn't understand why Cameron did this. Could it be to improve efficiency?

Gail Levine yawned, but there were women around and couldn't light a cigarette.As Cameron Crowe's long-term partner, he understands the reason for doing this very well. He just wants to see which of the four actors is more eye-catching. The comparison is sometimes very tragic.

Maybe an actor is struggling to perform in front of the camera, but the director and producer's eyes are not on her at all.

Just like now, everyone's eyes are fixed on the blonde in wide-leg pants in the upper left corner, regardless of what the other three are doing. Cameron and Columbia Pictures president Amy Pascal even share a Headphones, they were all attracted by Eve on the monitor!

At this time, Eve has entered the performance state, and she directly regards the opposite camera as William in the script, as if it can speak and give feedback.

"So it's not a birthday party, it's a farewell."

A wry smile appeared on Petunia's face. In fact, she already knew that her journey would end here, but she just didn't want to believe it.

Even a wry smile is very moving under Eve's interpretation. The face can withstand the close-up of the camera, and there is no trace of pores at all. You can only see a heartbroken but brave person.

"You thought you could hide it from me, but in fact I know what you're thinking, you're worried about me and Rosol." The wry smile on Eve's face disappeared at this moment, with a sense of pride in seeing through others.

A smug smile slowly appeared on her face, and then she took two steps forward, the hidden smile deepened, her chin lifted slightly, the guess just now was indeed correct.

The room was huge, and Eve didn't just stand there stupidly, but took two steps diagonally forward, handing the side of her body to the camera for shooting.

According to the setting of the plot, Penny and William are walking forward while chatting.Eve just shortened the walking distance to make it easier for the cameraman to cooperate with her.

It was as if there was a 15-year-old boy in front of her, who had just praised William for being great, and hoped that Rossol could be like him.

But who would have thought that William would suddenly lose his temper.

No one played with Eve, she just finished her lines, the camera didn't respond to anything, and saw a trace of shock and worry on her face, and her smile disappeared instantly.

She temporarily forgot about her troubles, turned her attention to William's affairs, and asked, "Did you delay the school exam or something else?"

Otherwise, why suddenly get angry.

After a short pause, Penny seemed to understand the reason for William's anger, and Shen Sheng made plans for herself: "I know I can't get on this plane, and I don't plan to take the other band's car. I can work with Still Water staff, but that sounds kind of pathetic. The rest of the girls are going to go with the Rough Band, and if you can find out why from Rothall..."

As she spoke, she looked at the camera with expectant eyes, as if she was acting like a baby with the boy William, and wanted him to help inquire about the matter, without realizing the seriousness of the matter at all.

One second ago, Eve was still begging for help, but the next second, Eve's face changed suddenly. Not only did her face become solemn, she even increased her volume, as if she had made a decision in her heart: "Forget it! I'll go to New York by myself, I've got a bunch of coupons. I know his ex-wife or girlfriend or something, will be in New York too."

According to the development of the plot, William felt that this was not a good idea at this time.

Penny looked longing, like a woman in love, "I knew he wanted me to go there, and he gave me a cake. He also wrote me that sweet poem."

Facing Petunia's wishful thinking, William wants to speak out against it.

Eve silently sketched in her heart a nihilistic person reading lines, she looked a little puzzled, why did she yell at herself.

This expression looks so painful, but also so beautiful!

Cameron couldn't help nodding behind the monitor, it was such a beautiful person who deserved love and William's fascination.The girl in front of him had surprisingly good acting skills. At first, he thought it was just a beautiful vase, the kind that could be seen but not used. Unexpectedly, the acting in a movie was very delicate, and every emotion was properly expressed through her eyes.

Those big eyes seem to be able to talk and discharge electricity, no man can resist this temptation!

There are probably very few men who care so much about themselves, about names, rules, and nicknames, even if this man is only a boy so far.

After changing the angle, Eve looked at the camera dotingly, as if looking at some peerless treasure: "You are too good for rock music, it is not worthy of you."

These words were like poking a hornet's nest, causing William to erupt like a volcano.

Obviously no one spoke, but Eve acted as if someone on the other side was reprimanding her. She lowered her head slightly and listened carefully, but then laughed lightly. This person is indeed too good to be suitable for rock music.

"I said, you should be happy for me, you don't know what he said to me in private." Eve put her hands in front of her body, shaking them gently in line with her words, "Maybe this is love. As much as possible with someone, and he..."

Through the movement just now, Eve happened to be facing the camera lens sideways, her head slowly turned around, her eyes were full of astonishment, and she blinked a few times involuntarily.

Penny was still showing off her relationship with Rosol just now, but she was unknowingly sold to other bands, as if it was a complete joke.

The cameraman pointed the lens above Eve's shoulders. Through the real-time transmission function of the high-definition camera, Cameron and others really watched her eyes and nose turn slightly red.

Eve's crying scene itself is not weak, and I have practiced playing the role of Daisy many times in "The Girl Who Moved the Soul", and I feel sorry for the state before crying at the moment!

Knowing that it was too late, she turned her head and left her hair for the camera. She lowered her head slowly, digesting the shocking news, pursed her lips slightly, and her eyes were moist.

The camera could only capture her right cheek. Eve gently wiped away the teardrops on the left cheek with her left hand, then brushed her hair, turned her head with a choked and nasal voice, and said, "What brand of beer?"

Obviously the inner world has collapsed, but still try to maintain indifference and indifference.

Looking up to keep the tears from falling, with a smile in the tears.

Those tears betrayed her heart, even though the smile was very sweet.

Cameron didn't expect Eve to use this method to perform, and I have to say that he was greatly shocked!

"What's the girl's name? I'll have to watch the show again later."

The casting director Gail Levin glanced at the information and said, "Eve Campbell, an artist signed by CAA, has acted in two films so far, and none of them have been released yet."

The people behind the monitor were all shocked by Eve, their gestures were all coquettish, every frown and smile made people fascinated, who would be willing to hurt such a girl?
