Chapter 1395 1395 Character Audition
"I don't have any special ideas, I'm just thinking that maybe I can give Steve a reason to be a hero, such as family." Facing Roland's curiosity, Hugo didn't hold back and simply stated his thoughts.
In fact, Hugo did not intend to delve into and analyze the characters in the script of "The End of the World", which was later renamed "Independence Day". On the one hand, it was because there was almost no portrayal of the characters in this film, just with "Life and Death" was similar at the beginning; on the other hand, it was also because Hugo didn't want to think too much about acting now. After "Death Ramble", he still needed a period of time to rest and adjust slowly.
Only after his own experience, Hugo can appreciate the feeling of Heath Ledger after filming "Batman: The Dark Knight".
But as Hugo said, if "Independence Day" can give Steve a reason to fight for it, the whole character will be full. This is also a common problem with many commercial popcorn movies. Those heroes who go to heaven and earth just fight for the sake of fighting, and the big hats like "I want to defend the earth" are buckled down, which seems empty and boring, until 2002 "Spider" When the "Xia" appeared, this changed the status quo.
"A reason to struggle..." Roland fell into contemplation because of Hugo's simple words. Obviously, this is the part that many people have not considered, which is why the "Batman Prequels" series directed by Christopher Nolan can become a classic. A hero is, after all, a person, an independent individual.
The thoughts in Roland's mind couldn't help but start rolling. He turned to look at Hugo, who had a relaxed face, thoughtfully. In fact, in Hollywood, there are too many examples of overnight fame, and there is no shortage of vases that rely on their appearance to go straight to the top, so people often think that Hollywood is too easy to become famous, and they keep going. But in fact, it is never easy to really want to gain a firm foothold in this Vanity Fair, and none of the few people who can reach the top are fools.
Hugo's wisdom made Roland unpredictable.
Why did Brad Pitt wait until this year to usher in a full-blown explosion? Why not "Seven Deadly Sins" but "Twelve Monkeys"? There are many reasons, and the accumulation of works is an inevitable factor, but one of the factors that cannot be ignored is Brad's own mind and understanding of Vanity Fair. Only when he really grows up, will the superstar aura follow. The turning point in "The Seven Deadly Sins" was crucial for Brad.
Otherwise, there were Drew Barrymore, River Phoenix, Macaulay Culkin, Justin Bieber, Shia. LaBeouf, the Jonas Brothers... they were all very popular. For a while, but they were not able to truly have the halo of a superstar. The road to superstardom has never been so easy.
Roland suddenly became curious about Hugo's experience. It wasn't the experiences that people knew, such as "Dead Poets Society", "Hudson's Eagle", the Golden Raspberry Award, etc.; research and pursuit.
"It's started." Hugo pointed to the stage with a smile, as if he didn't notice Roland's gaze at all.
Roland twitched the corners of his mouth apologetically, then turned to look at the stage, which was already crowded.
Fifteen children in a row stood in a straight line, looking around in a dazed way, and some people were even talking loudly. It seemed that most of them were **** without any acting experience. They didn't know what to do, not even Knowing where to look, just standing there anxiously or nervously or excitedly, it looks like the scene when kindergarten and elementary school children go on a spring outing together.
A large group of children stood on the left side of the stage. I couldn't count how many people there were. Obviously, they were the next group of people who were going to go to the stage for audition. What was even more lively was that the empty seats began to fill up one after another. Full, mainly considering that most of the people who came to audition today are children. Although the winter in Los Angeles is not cold, the wind outside is still relatively strong; and the Los Angeles Grand Theater can accommodate 2,000 people, so Sergio Lead the team behind them to the room in order and sit down.
As a result, the atmosphere of the whole scene began to heat up. It was not the clamor of gongs and drums, but the chaos of everything. You could clearly feel the restlessness of the children, causing the air to keep colliding between the tender faces.
"Ah, look at these children..." Cameron gently pulled Hugo's arm and sighed in a low voice. Although she didn't finish her sentence, her slightly raised excited tone had already shown her emotions. Hugo couldn't help laughing at the emotion on Cameron's face.
The fifteen children in the row in front of them stood in a row high and low. The child standing on the far right was very tall, at least 5.4 feet (one meter sixty-five) or more, and was one of the children in this row. The tallest one seems to stand out from the crowd. The child seemed very nervous, his right hand was constantly wiping the sweat on the edge of his pants, and the noise of the other children around him also distracted his attention. He could be seen anxiously turning his head to look at the other children beside him, his mouth wriggling, as if Saying "quiet...quiet..."
"Really? Don't you think the child is really..." Hugo frowned slightly and said with a small smile, "It's noisy and hard to control?"
Hugo once played a single father in "Sleepless in Seattle", and because of Hugo's personality, he is very fond of children and can always get along with children. But the sudden appearance of so many children in front of him still gave Hugo a headache, and only felt that there were bees buzzing in his head.
"No, I think this is the difference between the child and us." Cameron said with a smile, and then suddenly just grabbed Hugo's arm and pointed at the child on the far left on the stage , "Look, look, he is guiding other children. He is about to get angry, but he is holding back his emotions. Isn't that expression cute?"
Hugo could feel that Cameron's voice began to change. Before Hugo could laugh out loud, he heard Roland chuckling lightly next to him. Cameron heard the sound, and when he looked back, he saw Roland's face. Cameron was full of smiles, which made Cameron twitch the corners of his mouth in embarrassment, and gave Roland a stiff smile, then stared at Hugo, slowly stopped his back, and leaned back on the back of his chair. .
This Cameron makes people really can not help laughing.
"How, do you have any special thoughts about this group of children?" Roland asked.
Hugo shook his head directly, "No, you can discuss it with the casting director." Hugo did not intend to participate in the casting, and these matters were left to Rick and Kevin to decide, but Hugo had one Curious, "Roland, is this all about public casting?"
"What do you mean?" Roland didn't react.
"I mean, why does it look like... um, we're picking slaves." Hugo's metaphor made Roland laugh outright, attracting the attention of many people around, even the children on the stage They all looked over.
The child standing on the far left also cast his gaze nervously, and no one knew whether the laughter just now was a good thing or a bad thing.
Roland also realized his gaffe, and hurriedly lowered his voice and said to Hugo, "No, it's not like that. It's the first time I've seen a scene like this today." The director began to talk in a low voice.
Hugo asked this because today's audition looked very different.
In fact, Hugo himself has participated in many public auditions. He and Leonardo met at the public audition site of "Smell the Scent and Know a Woman". Many audition sites are crowded with people, and the competition is extremely fierce. Although the crowd is a little more today, it is still not unusual.
However, Hugo was sitting under the stage at this time. Although it was also used as a movie screening venue, it was originally used as a stage theater. Therefore, Hugo sat in the center of the auditorium and could have a panoramic view of the entire stage. Every move of everyone on the stage seemed so real and so trivial, and the sense of close contact came from the stage. Come, he can clearly discover the small details of each interviewee.
This made Hugo sigh, he had never participated in such an audition, because this stage will make the people above it completely displayed in front of the audience. Hugo couldn't help but think that it is no wonder that actors from British academies are required to stand on the stage in East London, and the face-to-face test with the audience is definitely not that simple.
Such an audition was far beyond Hugo's imagination, which made Hugo more interested in today's selection. Of course, he is not in the role of the interviewer, but only as part of the participants.
Due to the outstanding height of the child on the far left, Hugo's eyes naturally shifted to the past. He looked at it carefully and always felt that there was something unusual, but he couldn't say it. He lowered his voice and asked Cameron, "You said , the child on the far left...really under twelve years old?" Hugo really couldn't grasp the age of the children, and it seemed that they were all about the same.
Cameron also looked at it seriously, "Yeah, he looks... he should be thirteen or fourteen years old, right?" Then she raised her finger and pointed at the child, "Look, he is obviously wiser than other children. It's more, either I often participate in auditions, or I've grown up and sensible."
Hugo glanced at Cameron and said speechlessly, "So, eight-year-olds are ignorant?" If parents told eight-year-olds what was going on today, they would surely understand. This spit made Cameron stick out his tongue shyly.
Hugo turned his head to take a serious look again, but Roland had already signaled to let the group of children leave the stage, and the child on the far left left first. At this moment, a flash of light flashed in Hugo's mind, and he finally knew what was wrong. !
This kid looks so familiar, like... a young Captain America!
