Hollywood legendary director

Watching Dejean Kumar leave, Lehmann leaned back in his chair slightly, and drank the cup of Blue Mountain coffee he ordered without delay.

The participation of Eros International Pictures is the most important harvest of this trip.

Without them, the filming work of this film would never go smoothly, and the idea of ​​finishing the filming work in two months is naturally nonsense.

Even before that, both Lehman and George were sure that there would be a local film company willing to cooperate, but they couldn't help feeling nervous before the dust settled.

Sitting quietly and peacefully on the spot, carefully aftertaste the taste of coffee, the sweetness of the sweetness has not dissipated yet, giving the spirit a great sense of satisfaction.

It is said that coffee can provide a kind of function similar to happiness.

The out of his gaze caught George's expression, which seemed extremely relaxed. Lehman raised his gaze and said slightly, "Let's go back to the hotel."

After finishing speaking, he stood up, straightened his waist, patted George on the shoulder lightly, and walked straight out of the cafe.

George understood in seconds, paid the bill silently, and soon caught up with Lyman who left first.

......

Bollywood is short for the location of Bollywood Studios. Speaking of the origin of the name, it's just that the Indians replaced the letter "H" at the beginning of Hollywood with the letter of the national film capital of Bombay." B", thus turning "Hollywood" into "Bollywood".

After staying in the hotel for one night, Lehman and George went to the headquarters of Eros International Pictures the next day. They informed that they could start the first round of auditions in the afternoon.In a commercial building, the Indian company leased the entire one to three floors.

Is the place big? The departmental operation also appears to be organized.

Along the way, the areas of each office are divided.

When we arrived at the publishing department on the second floor, Djean-Kulma had already been waiting there.

A few people greeted a few words, and the meeting room was temporarily set up as the venue for the audition.

There was a long table with four people behind the table, namely Lehman, George, Djean Kumar from Eros International Pictures, and a production director named Kaman.

There was a camera on the table, and an unknown staff member was fiddling with it.

Lyman and George were naturally the chief examiners for today's audition. The other two were at most to join in the fun, along with translators, and were responsible for protecting the rights and interests of their actors.

In the conference room, in addition to these five people, there are two employees of Eros International Pictures. One of them is responsible for shouting in the other lounge to notify the actors to try out the show, and the other is to assist, that is, specialize in chores. Running errands, maybe you can make a cameo appearance later.

Djean-Kumar brought him and George four copies of information, and they each had two copies.

Among the two documents, one is a list of actors who are confirmed to be able to participate in the audition work today. It is a thin stack of about 20 copies, and the other is a registered actors' union in Bollywood, India. The list of information on the character's temperament that Lehman requested was a thick pile. Lehman measured it with his eyes, and estimated that it was almost a hundred.

He looked at the list of these materials and thought: Is Bollywood developing pretty well?There are so many actors backed up, and they are almost more than the reserve of actors on the French side.

It's no wonder that Lyman is ignorant. In recent years, Bollywood movies have gradually flourished, and they can be regarded as playing their own signs. They are very popular in Russia and even some Arab countries.Starting to develop rapidly towards internationalization, its strength is slowly increasing.Indian movies can also be counted as regional genres with a card face.

Lehman sorted out the audition list and divided the small stack into categories. Several leading actors, such as the protagonist Rancher’s roommates Fahan and Raja, were the most important actor choices in this trip.Because Amir Khan is not in Mumbai now, he will be able to see it in a few days, but his schedule is not a problem. Let's discuss it after seeing him.After clearing his thoughts, Lehmann said a few words to Djean Kumar.

Dejean Kumar motioned to the waiting staff by the door to shout.

After a while, a young man walked into the audition room.

Raku Hawan, a native of Mumbai, 26 years old, 176cm tall, weighs 65 kg.

Lehman glanced through the information and looked up at the actor. His eyes lit up: This guy has a very simple face. Then he will be matched with a pair of glasses, makeup and hairstyle. It should be very suitable for Fahan. Roles.Anyway, the appearance and temperament look pretty simple.

"Good director, good gentlemen, my name is Raku, I used to act in TV series..."

Raku Hama introduced himself endlessly, and his voice was very strong. Although he didn't understand him well, after all, he spoke Hindi, but he felt that he had practiced it before, and he still had some basic knowledge in reading.

Lehmann was more satisfied. He interrupted Raku Hama’s introduction and said directly: "Okay, I need you to perform now. Well, suppose your college exam failed, and you still play with you. A good roommate is the best in the school. He ran to comfort you. What would you do?"

Djean Kumar translated this passage. Raku Hama thought for a while and asked, "Should I just perform like this?"

After listening to Dejean Kumar's translation, Lyman nodded and motioned for him to start.

The staff holding the camera on the side saw this scene. After adjusting the lens direction, they quickly turned on the recording.

Raku Hama took a deep breath, first became annoyed, and said loudly into the air: "It was me who failed the exam. What use are you saying..."

Naturally, Lyman can't understand Hindi, and he doesn't need Djean Kumar's translation. Just look at the actor's overall emotional changes and movements to complete the job of casting.

But obviously, this young man's performance is very stiff.

Coming and going is the appearance of facial expressions collapsed, especially the movements are particularly exaggerated. Seeing his excited expression, I feel that he will come to a rhythmic Indian song and dance at any time.

This performance really gave Lehman a headache, and he couldn't bear to look directly.

After finally waiting for Raku Hama to stop his performance, he put his sight on the court again.

He could understand why this actor with such a simple and honest appearance and good conditions was still not well-known at this time, and he played a supporting role in a TV series, the kind who could not survive three episodes.

"Director, how did he act?" Djean Kumar faithfully completed his translation work.

"It's okay, it's not bad, at least not timid when performing." Lehman said a little bit, which is encouragement, and then said: "Let him go back and wait for the news first. The specific audition result will be notified by phone. of."

When Djean Kumar listened, he naturally knew that the first actor was not seen by Lehman. He said he was waiting for the news, but it was just an excuse. The entertainment circles all over the world like to use this sentence to tactfully refuse.

Raku Hama naturally understood that he left the audition room rather frustrated.

The appearances and appearances of the next few actors are not bad, at least they are in line with the needs of the role. It seems that Eros International Pictures does take care of this, but the acting is not good.No matter how good the body is and the performance is embarrassing, he will never pass Lyman.

Two or three hours passed, and only two characters were found. They were Chaltou in the play, that is, the student who identified with the theory of achievement, the dean once admired the student, and the one who sold daily necessities on campus. The corner of the seller.The roles of these two roles are actually not many, so the main actor candidates are still not found.

After halfway through the audition, a tall and thin actor walked in, and Lyman had a meal with the hand of the document. This kind of appearance fits the role of Raja in the play. I just hope that the acting skills will not be too harsh.

Salman Josh, 23 years old, a Gujarati native, has experience in two films, came from a family of artists, and his father is also a drama performer.

"You show that your family is poor, your father is in poor health, and your family wants you to study hard, but you fail in an exam. The dean said that you want to tell your parents your results. You are desperate and want to A scene of suicide escape from reality."

A long passage was passed to Salman Josh.

After he listened, he pondered for a while, then closed his eyes and simmered his emotions, making a ready gesture.

The camera lens began to point, clearly capturing the micro expressions of his face.

His eyes are very playful, and his reaction is not as intense as the previous auditioning personnel.He just bowed his head silently, his face was bitter, and he seemed to think of something bad.Then he slowly fell to the ground, his eyes full of chagrin and fear...

Lehman felt a rash when he saw this.

Very powerful performance, although the expression is not so natural, but it is really thinking about this situation, and trying to bring oneself into that atmosphere, to cultivate the feeling of sorry parents, very The entanglement and panic that was afraid to see their disappointed faces manifested, and this was what he wanted.

As for the actors who auditioned for this role before, they didn't think so much about it. They just cried blindly, or even howled, and couldn't do this kind of silent grief.

There was not a hint of the thought of committing suicide.

"Okay, it's okay," Lehmann said to Dejean Kumar.

At his gesture, Salman Josh immediately cleared up his emotions and got up from the ground.

"Tell him about the role of Raja. If there is no problem with the pay, then it is to choose him."

When Dejean Kumar heard the words, he immediately beckoned, and another staff member who was instructed to signal Salman Josh to enter the cubicle of the conference room, where there was a ready actor contract.
