Chapter 21 021 Thirty Seconds

The audition for "Smell the Fragrance and Know a Woman" started soon. The interview room was the conference room next door. This was not a temporary set up, but a complete room, which could block out the noise in the studio. A few people went in in front of them, and they didn't stay for long. The shortest seemed to come out after entering, and the longest was only three minutes. You know, there are all actors in the reception room who have works to show, but the audition ended so quickly. Experienced newbie?

Soon, the person who told Hugo and Leonardo to shut up just now stood up. Hugo and Leonardo immediately sat up straight and stared at the man with round eyes. There was no special malice. There is no special expression, it seems that it is just a normal look. The difference is that the eyes are very wide, which makes the man very helpless. He wants to say something but has nothing to say. He can only speed up and enter the meeting. in the room. Seeing the man's hurried back, both Hugo and Leonardo almost burst out laughing, but considering that there were still tasks left unfinished, they both held back abruptly.

Sure enough, the man came out after a while. He only lasted for about two minutes. As soon as he came out, he saw Hugo and Leonardo still sitting with a straight face, as if they were children on the first day of school. Just as well-behaved, she stared at herself curiously. The man was seen by Hugo and Leonardo hairy, but the other party had no malicious intentions. As a result, he couldn't say anything, and he could only flee in the end.

This time, Hugo and Leonardo burst into laughter, but the others didn't complain. Instead, the others in the reception room couldn't help but burst out laughing. The tense atmosphere in the room was relieved a lot.

When Ellen Lewis (Ellen. Lewis) came out, what he saw was such a pleasant atmosphere in the reception room, and among a group of actors, Hugo and Leonardo sitting in the center were so dazzling and easy to do attracted people's attention. Among them, Hugo's sunny smile is particularly attractive. The warm, brilliant and splendid halo makes the corners of the viewer's mouth involuntarily draw an arc.

However, thinking of the black history of Hugo's previous three consecutive works, not to mention the negative impact of the Golden Raspberry Award, the smile on Allen's face also slightly restrained, and he took his attention back and put it back on his own. At work, "Leonardo DiCaprio, you're next."

"Man, I wish you good luck." Leonardo stood up, Hugo said with a smile, which made Leonardo's smile a little easier, and then followed behind Allen and entered Conference room next door.

Without a chat partner, Hugo immediately noticed a sense of tension coming to his face. Because his attention had been shifted to the audition that was about to begin, the tension involuntarily wound up all his tendons and muscles. Tension made him feel that his breathing was getting faster.

Hugo took the script back into his hands, but he couldn't read a word of it. To be precise, his brain was now completely blank, and Hugo couldn't even remember his original plan. Hugo knew that he was too nervous. During the audition for "Love in the River", Hugo was still in a state of just crossing over. He was confused about the situation and ended the interview in a daze. Today's audition is obviously completely different.

Taking a deep breath, taking a deep breath, Hugo kept forcing himself to adjust the rhythm of his breathing. Although he had never seen any big scenes, the band's performances in the past were basically small occasions. However, Hugo still has his own set of methods for dealing with tension.

After a few deep breaths in a row, Hugo's anxiety really calmed down, but his brain still didn't come back to his senses. Hugo knew that he could only wait until the audition process to adapt.

At this time, Leonardo walked out of the conference room. Hugo raised his head and cast an inquiring look. Leonardo didn't stay in it for a long time, about three minutes. Leonardo showed a helpless smile and shook his head, it seemed that the audition process was not going well. Then Leonardo didn't come over, just said "good luck", then waved goodbye to Hugo, and went outside to find his agent.

"Hugo Lancaster." Allen stood at the door of the conference room again, shouting to the reception room.

Hugo took a deep breath again, stood up, hesitated for a while, still took the script on the sofa in his hand, and then walked towards the conference room.

He whispered "thank you" to Alan who opened the door for him. Hugo walked into the conference room and saw the furnishings in the room at a glance. The conference room here is actually a small room of more than 300 square feet (30 square meters) with a round conference table. At this time, there are three people sitting next to the table.

Hugo stepped forward and put his resume on the table. Today is a public interview, and submitting a resume is a necessary procedure. This is Ellen who also walked over to the table and sat down, she smiled and pointed to the woman sitting outside and said, "I'm casting director Ellen Lewis, this is the representative of the Screen Actors Guild Lily Sturgeon. Pu." Hugo and Lily exchanged a polite smile, "Okay, you can start, you have thirty seconds."

Hugo was stunned for a moment. The two men in the middle didn't introduce them at all. Who were they? And it started as soon as they came in, they didn't even look at their resumes. Recalling that the people who participated in the audition only stayed for three minutes at the longest, Hugo understood.

"Thirty seconds? I don't know what I can do." Hugo pursed his lips, raised the script in his right hand, and said honestly.

"What do you mean?" Allen asked with a frown. The two men in the middle who were looking at Hugo's resume couldn't help but look up.

Hugo was not nervous at this time, and spoke very fluently, "I mean, Charlie is a student, he doesn't have a single bright spot, and he can't burst out in a short time. You give me thirty seconds, I don't care. No matter what the show, you can't bring out the character of Charlie."

Alan's face showed an inquiring look, but the two men in the middle were still expressionless, just exchanged glances, "You haven't read the script, Charlie and the lieutenant colonel have several confrontations, but Charlie has a lot of them. Performance space." Hugo opened his mouth, originally wanting to say, "This is an opponent's play, and we need to inspire each other to perform", but Allen seemed to know his sophistry, raised his hand to stop Hugo, and then said, "Do you think that the role of the student is not challenging, and it is enough to rely on the performance?"

"It's not like this." Hugo was not discouraged. He would encounter various situations during the audition process. There was no way to prepare in advance. Out of the burrs, also to no avail. So he didn't panic, and said in an orderly manner, "I mean, there's no way you can play something like student anger, just like you can't fool people about how many books you've read. Even Al-Passi No, he couldn't play the role of Charlie, either. Otherwise, you wouldn't have a public interview today, would you?"

Allen glanced at the two men on his right this time, and a thoughtful smile appeared on the faces of all three, "Even if you say everything right, it doesn't mean your actions are right, you It's impossible to think that you can get the role if you walk in and don't perform anything within the 30 seconds we give you." Allen hit Hugo mercilessly, but she didn't Seeing any frustrated look on Hugo's face, it was still the warm smile, "If you follow your current logic, how did you get your role in the Dead Poets Society?"

In fact, from an objective point of view, Hugo is very suitable for the role of a student. His classical scroll temperament is very dazzling. In "Dead Poets Society", he plays a student.

Hearing this question, Hugo was immediately embarrassed, because he really didn't know the audition situation of "Dead Poets Society", and it couldn't be said that Tracy went through the back door. So Hugo raised his right hand and waved it gently, "Say...'Hello'?"

This childish humor suddenly made Alan laugh, and smiles appeared on the faces of the other three, which made Hugo a little relieved.

"Since you don't think you can show the essence of Charlie's character within thirty seconds, then obviously you have your own understanding of this character, can you talk to us?" Allen glanced at the watch on the table, three Ten seconds have passed, but she has no intention of letting Hugo leave, and the two men beside her obviously have no such intention.

The two men sitting in the middle are director and producer Martin Brest and screenwriter Bo Goodman. Although the person who ostensibly holds the power of life and death today is the casting director Allen, both the director and the screenwriter came to the audition site in person, which shows that they attach great importance to the role of Charlie. Sino finds a bad opposite actor that will ruin a movie. Although they have never revealed their identities, this does not mean that they will remain silent all the time, but there are currently no actors worthy of their opening.

Although the development process of the previous audition was beyond Hugo's expectations, this problem was not difficult for him. The benefits of reading the script over and over again were highlighted at this time. The originally blank brain now has A steady stream of ideas, almost without thinking, Hugo can speak directly.

"Of course, as long as you don't rush me out." Hugo's first sentence made Allen and others smile again.
