Hollywood legendary director

The small town of Cannes, which had just rained, was full of a damp smell, and the subsequent heat wave made the air thicker, creating an impetuous and restless atmosphere.

Lyman slumped on the sofa, holding a long list.

The process of finding actors was not smooth at all. He knew that the project of "Buried Alive" must find an excellent acting school who can afford the scene.

Originally, the shooting pattern was kept small, and the focus was entirely on the shaping of the protagonist. Even the rhythm of the plot had to be changed by the role. If the role was not deep, it would be a disaster for this movie.

But a week passed in a blink of an eye, but he still didn't get any results.

During the period, the recruitment information published in newspapers and various other publicity channels attracted many actors who were looking for opportunities.

I have interviewed about 20 or 30 people, but their performance is far from satisfactory. They are far from the character image that Lehman wants. Some auditions are even embarrassing to make people do not know how to comment.

Although he also knew that "Buried Alive" wasn't an attractive project, but the result is still frustrating.

Jinshan Yinshan couldn't help such a waste of time, not to mention that his funds were not so abundant, which made Lehman worry even his hair began to fall.

If this continues, the launch date of "Buried Alive" may not keep up with the scheduled time.

"Hey, buddy, how come you have such a frowning face again?" A laughing voice came over, disturbing Lyman's thoughts, raised his head, and realized that Ryan had come to his house sometime.

"Why, haven't I found a suitable actor? If I want to say, I can choose one from the previous audition candidates."

Lehman sat up from the sofa with a wry smile, "You think it's too simple, it's a one-man show, even the acting skills can't hold the scene, it's strange if it doesn't hit the street when it's shot." It's better to run away with this investment, at least not to throw the money in the water.

"Then, is there any candidate for audition today?" Ryan also sat on the sofa and asked.

"Well, yes, after waiting for half an hour, let's start."

"I hope I can find a suitable one today. I have done everything else."

Lyman didn't speak, but he thought so in his heart.

The two took a break again, and went to Mann's studio. This was a bungalow rented. They were converted into an interview site.

The first person to come in was a handsome blond guy. He handed Lehman his resume and introduced himself nervously: "Good two, my name is Darren Coster."

"Let’s audition for a while." Lehman scanned his resume for a while and was not interested. Anyway, he had to recognize his strength. "You are trapped in a small space and panic. What will your expression look like?"

Darren frowned and thought about it, took a deep breath, "Then I'll start."

He slowly closed his eyes and then opened them. At this time, his facial expressions began to become distorted...

Spicy eyes, acting too bad.Lehman quickly made a cross in his heart and slowly shook his head: "I'm sorry, you don't meet my requirements!"

"Oh, God!" Lunda's tone trembled, "Can you give me another chance? Okay? I really want to be in a movie."

"No, I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Lehman handed him his resume, and said hard-heartedly: "Your performance did not meet my expectations, I'm sorry."

Lunda's eyes were a little red, and he took the resume in frustration, and left here with a lonely look...

In this case, Lehmann has seen too much during this time.But the opportunity to perform is there, what's the use of lack of strength?

He is responsible for his work, not sympathy?In other words, who would show sympathy for him?This world, after all, depends on itself.

The next one was a sturdy blond man, and Lehman asked: "If you want to be desperate, try to control your facial expressions."

"Fuck! What kind of weird question is this, who would despair? Show me a show." The muscular blond yelled, but yelled fiercely at Lyman and Ryan: "Just say Would you like to choose me."

"Sorry, sir, you couldn't meet my requirements." Lyman calmly told a fact.

The muscular blonde slapped the table suddenly and stared at the table and said, "What, you said I was not up to the requirements, hey, are you kidding me?"

"Do you want to make trouble?" Ryan on the side couldn't stand it anymore, and stood up from his seat, staring likewise.

"Fuck!" The muscular blond man probably threatened unsuccessfully, and compared the number of people. Seeing Ryan's equally strong figure, he decisively cursed and left.

The morning passed. I interviewed more than a dozen candidates, but still didn't find any reliable lead actor candidates.

This makes Lyman even more worried.

Why is it so difficult to find an actor with acting skills?

This problem is actually that those acting schools have never paid attention to a small production such as "Buried Alive", and other newcomers have not been tempered, how can they exercise their performance experience?

"It's 12 o'clock. Let's have a lunch break and come back in the afternoon." Ryan didn't complain anymore. He has been following Lehman to try out the show these days, and Thomas is going to manage other preparations.Seeing Lyman in a bad mood, he also provided timely comfort.

"Let's go." Although Lehmann was lost, he also knew that he couldn't force it. No matter what, the life would still go on.

Lunch was settled in a small restaurant nearby. At this time, it is impossible to be generous anyway, so I just ate some casually to fill my stomach, and it only cost 23 euros for two people.

Although Ryan still has money in his possession, he also knows the weight and doesn’t say anything more about the food. He still wants to save money and invest in the production. After all, seeing the money is declining day by day, but the shooting work is There is still no specific time to start, and he can understand Lyman's inner anxiety.

In the afternoon, a series of trial plays began.

Under Lyman's successive denials, his mood became more and more irritable, until then, another candidate came—

He is wearing a black T-shirt, the lower body is the same black jeans, the golden brown slightly curly hair is casually pulled, and the facial features are not exquisite, but there is a unique charm, especially the eyes, especially smart.Just meeting each other gave Lehman a very familiar feeling.

"Good two, my name is Heath Ledger..." The introduction quickly confuses Lyman's familiarity. The one who appeared in this bungalow audition room is indeed a later generation. The famous "Joker" is just a young version.

Sitting on the chair opposite Lehman's desk, Heath Ledger looked a little cautious, "I'm here to apply for the lead role in the movie. Is there anything I need to do?"

Although I don't know why Heath Ledger, who made his debut in Hollywood, went to France, but this does not prevent Lehman from trying to play.

In future generations, his acting skills will undoubtedly be recognized by most people, but he is so young now that it is hard to say.

Moreover, the appearance of this young young man who has just emerged from society is far from the setting of Paul in "Buried Alive"-Paul should be a middle-aged man in his thirties. He started a family and has a lovely daughter. However, they are facing some difficulties in life.

The sense of surprise that I just heard about the introduction quickly faded, Lehman concealed his disappointment and said, "Can you perform a scene with an empty heart and despair?"

"Can I take a look at the general script first? If it is not convenient, I..." Some projects will wait until the actors are confirmed before releasing the script, so as not to reveal the plot setting, like Heath Ledger Said, leaving enough room to deal with, will not make both sides embarrassed.

Lehman didn’t have this concern. For the actors interviewed before, if someone asked to read the script, he would also provide it, but most people just wanted to be able to act. As for what to act, it doesn’t matter, so In fact, few will study the script seriously.

"Here." Ryan took out a printed movie script from the drawer and handed it to Heath Ledger.

"Thank you."

Thank you politely, Heath Ledger held the script and started flipping through it. There was a lot of information on the bulletin board before, and he didn't know the rough setting of the role that came to audition?Only know that it is the protagonist.

Now after reading the detailed plot, Heath Ledger understood why the gentleman who asked the question at the beginning was a little disappointed.

The protagonist Paul is set as a middle-aged adult man, and he is so young, it is inevitable that people will doubt whether he can play this role well.

The image can also be changed through makeup, but that life experience and temperament cannot be given.

However, no matter what the role setting is, he came here to participate in the audition, hoping to do his best to get the opportunity to perform.He is not an easy person to give up!

"Well, sir, we can start the audition now." Heath Ledger took a deep breath after returning the script with both hands. "Performing the feeling of despair in my heart, right?"

"Ok."

This emotional excerpt is when the protagonist Paul tried to get through many calls for help, but was overwhelmed by the ruthless reality.

He has read the script and knows the general situation.

Heath Ledger slowly closed his eyes, adjusted his sitting posture, and then sketched in his mind the feeling of being trapped in a narrow space and helpless.

The endless darkness slowly fell, surrounded him in groups, and began to shrink little by little.He no longer thought that he was trying out, and focused his thoughts on the character of Paul wholeheartedly. He was trapped underground...
