Chapter 1393 1393 Children Gather

The first light of dawn in 1996 fell on the North American continent. The warm golden light made the cold morning a little softer, below Los Angeles. The city also ushered in the first day of the new year in the morning mist.

Stand down. The Los Angeles Grand Theater in the city has been idle for a long time. Since the grand premiere of "Life and Death" kicked off the last revelry here, this theater that has accompanied the City of Angels through half a century of vicissitudes has temporarily announced. stop using.

Although one of the reasons is that the equipment is too old, the main reason is that the crowd of people in the city is gradually leaving this area and rushing towards Hollywood Boulevard, Beverly Hills and other places. The attendance rate of the Los Angeles Theater has been declining. Now It was no longer able to maintain basic operations, so it was forced to suspend use.

However, the city government has re-planned the place, and it is likely to be used as an art museum or a fixed rehearsal place for a stage theatre company in the future. Over the past year, the LA Grand Theater has been renovated on and off, making sure some places aren't a safety hazard due to disrepair.

The once prosperous surroundings of the Los Angeles Grand Theater have gradually calmed down. The continuous stream and traffic in the 1930s and 1940s have now become yellowed images in memory, gradually disappearing in the generation born after the 1960s. in the mind.

Recently, this place has fallen into desolation due to the suspension of the Grand Theater. It is not even as lively as the neighborhood of the poor street. It is as quiet as an abandoned corner of the city, and there are many poisons. The dealers are coveting this place, wanting to use it as a brand new trading place. This is the inevitable imprint of urban development and change.

But today's Los Angeles Grand Theater is different. Under the bright morning sun, there are crowds of people. The dense crowds start from the entrance of the Los Angeles Grand Theater and extend along the short street. The trivial and hot voices of conversation spread from the street. At the end of the street, it seems that every brick and stone on the street has become full of vitality, and the light and joyful excitement has made the entire Los Angeles Theater begin to revive, regaining the majestic vitality of half a century ago.

The bustling crowd of people lined up in a crooked but orderly manner from the door. The line quickly blocked the short street, and then meandered around the side of the Los Angeles Theater, finally forming a closed rectangle, covering the entire building. The building is solidly enclosed. But even so, the surging crowd continued to come.

There are more than 20 uniformed personnel standing at the entrance of the Los Angeles Grand Theater. They are doing their best to maintain order, continue to line up the people who feel the following, and form a second circle from the gate, and use the unfolded iron railings to keep the crowd away. Isolate and keep the scene as organized as possible.

If someone looks down from the sky, they will see an incredible scene like a crop circle. Such a picture can only be seen at the audition site of "American Idol", which is popular all over the world in the 21st century. The crowd of people was astounding, attracting almost all eyes.

The Los Angeles Theater, which has been silent for a long time, has once again become the center of focus, making it seem like a pool of stagnant water. The city began to boil.

Almost the whole of the United States knows that today's "Doomsday" will be cast in the Los Angeles theater, choosing to play the role of the son of Hugo in the movie. This opportunity is also considered to be a godsend. At the same time, I can also get the opportunity to shoot with Hugo, which is an irresistible temptation for anyone. confused.

But even so, the pomp around the Los Angeles theater is still staggering. Since the cast requires children from five to twelve years old, every child who comes to audition is led by a guardian, which makes the scene crowded. It doubled or even doubled directly.

Looking around, there are at least 2,000 people gathered around the entire Los Angeles theater, and this is just the beginning. With the advancement of time, there are more and more people from all corners of Los Angeles and North America People are flocking here, and that's also bringing down Los Angeles. The city is blooming like never before! Even Twentieth Century Fox did not expect such a terrifying sight.

This time, 20th Century Fox arranged the selection of the last character in "Doomsday" at the Los Angeles Grand Theater, which can accommodate 2,000 people. It is not without the idea of ​​publicity and hype.

In the original "End of the World" script, the male protagonist Steve and his girlfriend Jia Siming have a child, but this child is the child of Jia Siming and his ex-boyfriend, but in order to focus more strongly on Hugo, the twentieth century When Fox delivered the final version, he changed the script again, setting the child to be the son of Steve and his ex-girlfriend.

In Hollywood, there are not many performance opportunities for child stars. After all, the roles suitable for children are limited, but everyone knows that once a child star can be created, it will be a real cash cow. The distant Xiulan-Dengbo is Needless to say, the recent Macaulay-Culkin is not far away.

So, of course, the opportunity to directly cooperate with Hugo in "Doomsday" became Xiang Momo, which easily caused a sensation in the entire Hollywood! Twentieth Century Fox is looking forward to this result. They hope to maximize the effect of Hugo's "20 million club", and strive to convert their efforts into more returns before the movie box office.

However, it is estimated that even 20th Century Fox did not expect that under the strong influence of the "20 million club", this audition would turn into such a grand situation, as if it became Brad's rise and rain. It is the third most prosperous era at the end of the year after the establishment of the 20 million club.

What 20th Century Fox did not expect was that just a few hours later, Columbia Pictures and Creative Artists Agency jointly announced that Jim Carrey would play "The Ace Correspondent" with a salary of 20 million, bringing this topic to the fore. It has been pushed to an even more incredible height, allowing "Doomsday" to bear more pressure at the box office, and at the same time, it has also aroused chain attention and instantly became the hottest ace project.

When Roland Emmerich arrived at the Los Angeles Grand Theater, he was stunned by the crowd of people in front of him, and he didn't reach out to open the door even when the car stopped. Roland's first reaction was that he had come to the wrong place, and he asked subconsciously, "Is this the Los Angeles Grand Theater?"

The driver sitting in the front seat was specially assigned to Roland by Twentieth Century Fox, "You did not go wrong." The driver smiled involuntarily, and his words became more relaxed when he saw such a lively scene. It was expected that the scene would be very lively, and an additional twenty security guards were hired to maintain order today. You must go in quickly, and if you slow down, it is estimated that you will not be able to enter.” It’s just that 20th Century Fox is not sure now, they Are there too few security guards hired?

Roland nodded again and again, opened the car door and got out of the car, stood at the door and looked back at the entire street that was blocked. And such a prosperous area. More importantly, the prosperity here today is even more exaggerated than Hollywood Boulevard. The crowds of people filling up every blank of the street, and the crowds are everywhere, almost making Roland mistakenly believe that this place was last night. Rockefeller Plaza on New Year's Eve.

The driver drove the car away, but it was difficult, and the speed of leaving was like a snail, slowly breaking through the surging waves. Roland strongly suspects that it is estimated that all the children of the right age in Hollywood today have appeared; a larger part of the crowd is those children who have no acting experience, and come to audition with the idea of ​​giving it a try or becoming famous overnight; it cannot be ruled out that only I just hope that the parents of fans who can see Hugo's side bring their children to audition, which created the grand occasion of today's scene.

Before that, Roland was actually very dissatisfied with the strength of Endeavour Elite Brokerage Company. After all, it was not easy for the screenwriter and the director to significantly modify the script. A medium-sized brokerage company like Endeavour Elite relies entirely on Hugo's momentum to overwhelm people, and from beginning to end, Hugo never really showed up, which made Roland quite contempt for Hugo - even if the circle Nei's evaluation of Hugo has always been very high, but Roland has no way to leave a good impression.

But today I saw the sensational scene at the scene. Not only countless children came to participate in the audition, but there were at least 20 media reporters in sight. Now all the reporters are interviewing the interviewers on both sides of the road. , It is conceivable that "Doomsday" has reached a peak before filming, and the movie will be more lively when it is released.

This also gave Roland endless enthusiasm for the filming of the movie. He was originally determined to create a box-office giant, but now the surging crowd in front of him has made Roland's heart feel like a big fight. Ambition, even he didn't realize it, the fist of his right hand clenched involuntarily, and even trembled slightly because he was too excited.

From this point of view, Hugo is actually the actor who best meets Roland's expectations. The previous compromises and grievances are not worth mentioning in the hustle and bustle in front of him. It's just that Roland must not worry about whether Hugo will be as dedicated as the legend, and whether he will be as easy to get along with as the legend - or difficult to get along with.

Looking back, there were still people rushing towards here one after another. Roland hurriedly packed up his thoughts, walked quickly into the Los Angeles Grand Theater, and showed his "Doomsday" crew work card to the guards at the door. into the theater.

At this time, the whole theater was brightly lit, and the staff were busy without touching their feet, and there was a large group of people sitting in the auditorium in the center. Roland easily saw Hugo's profile among the group of people.
