Hollywood legendary director

"Kate Beckinsale, Jessica Alba, Gwyneth Paltrow, Naomi Watts."

A staff member from Paramount Pictures walked to the audition lounge with the list and said, "You 4 can come in."

Under the guidance of the staff, Kate Beckinsale and others followed into the inside, preparing for their audition work.

"Boom boom boom." A knock on the door sounded.

Immediately, Lehman saw 4 pairs of long legs and beautiful women with their own characteristics lined up.

Lehman looked at the information in his hand. In fact, he was quite familiar with these few.

Naomi Watts is so charismatic that even the orangutans can't resist it, and even has a "white house flying plane."

Jessica Alba, the spokesperson of the Sky Vase in Hollywood, has played many roles with her sweet looks and has won the market appeal of many young people.

Gwyneth Paltrow, well, the Oscar queen, yes, it's the Shakespeare in Love.In recent years, the career has also been declining, and there is no shadow of success.

Kate Beckinsale has the reputation of "British Rose".

Although with the advancing of time, British actors have achieved more and more success in Hollywood, and the British media like to speak big words, the title of "British Rose" is simply worthless, such as Kate Winslet, Keira -Knightley, Helena Bonham Carter and a series of British actresses have been advertised.

But in fact, for people in the Hollywood industry, Kate Beckinsale is always the best spokesperson for the "British Rose".

A talented woman with a high IQ who graduated from the French and Russian literature majors at Oxford University. Her first film shined at the Cannes Film Festival after she dropped out. She has a perfect blend of classic and glamorous temperament...

It is a pity that these proud capitals did not help her in the showbiz, and her later career trajectory was also very embarrassing to prove the uselessness of reading in Hollywood.

"Introduce yourself," Lehman said.

After the brief introduction, Lehman looked at Heath Ledger who was sitting next to him, "You can ask a random performance question."

"Ah, what?" Heath Ledger didn't react for a moment.Didn't he provide a reference today?How come you become an examiner.

"The appearance conditions are not bad, try acting and line skills, you play against them."

Lehman said so, and Heath Ledger also assumed the responsibility of the audition, "Uh, what would you do if someone pointed a gun at you? What would you say?"

After speaking, Heath Ledger looked around, and pointed directly: "Let’s start from left to right, Miss Jessica, you come first."

Jessica Alba heard that he took two steps forward, and said indifferently: "I can't imagine it."

As he frowned, he asked with anger, "So, what this movie is actually looking for is acting? I think it's enough for an actress to be a good vase."

Such an upright speech directly made Lehman amused.

Although he thought so in his heart, and the audition conditions were also focused on this aspect, he still felt very happy to see Jessica Alba's take for granted.

"So, do you think you have no acting skills? You have no confidence?" Lyman asked after her words.

Jessica Alba thought about it seriously, "No, I won't say that. I would say, I still lack the exercise to perform, so can you give me such an opportunity?"

Lehman was happier, "Of course, I am a person who likes to give opportunities, but I still have a question that I want to ask."

"Director Lyman, please ask." Jessica Alba showed a smile on her face.

Sure enough, men are all visual animals, and it is difficult to resist her charm.

"There will be some nudity in the movie, can you accept it?"

Hearing that, Jessica Alba feels sorry, "Sorry, I can't play any role with extensive nudity."

Her own positioning, the agent had arranged for her a long time ago, which is quite in conflict with her screen image.

Is there any young fan who would like to show his favorite star in the movie?That was crazy, it would ruin all her previous accumulation.

Jessica Alba shook her head, not very disappointed, "I can't do it, so I won't interrupt your audition work. I hope there will be opportunities for cooperation in the future."

The rather straightforward actress turned and left the audition room.

"So, everyone? Can you accept it?"

"Is it naked?" Gwyneth Paltrow asked.

"Of course not, it's not a porn movie, it's just that the back is going to be on the camera."

At this time, the remaining three actors have no objection. This nudity is still acceptable to people like them who are not based on teenage fans.

"Well, go ahead, it's your next turn, Onami Watts."

The next few finally performed well.

However, to be honest, they are not mistaken because they are vases. Although their acting skills are good, they are unnatural and look a bit awkward.

Fortunately, the role of informant does not require much depth of acting skills, but it can also pass.

Kate Beckinsale stood there, looking at the two competitors next to him.

Every opportunity in Hollywood is very important, but I don’t know how the director will choose?

"Heath Ledger, what's your opinion?" At the end of the performance, Lehman squeezed his eyebrows and asked, "Who are you more optimistic about? Or, who are you willing to play with."

The informant's role has been opposed to the second master of the gangster he played.

"I think Kate Beckinsale is a little better." Heath Ledger was quite simple.

He watched everyone's performances, and it was better than "British Roses".

"Well, that's all right, I will ask again."

Lehman turned his head, looked at the three people waiting for news, and said very politely: "Kate Beckinsale stay, and the remaining two will go back and wait for the notice. If they are selected, we will give you the first time. 'S agent called."

Naomi Watts looked at Kate Beckinsale unwillingly, turned and left the audition room, waiting for news, this kind of tactful refusal, she had heard it too many times, when she was in "Pearl Harbor". She also lost to Kate in the selection of the heroine.

But this time, it was still the case.

As the two left, the surroundings became quiet.

"Miss Kate, you don't have many roles, how do you think about it?"

To put it bluntly, although this is a vase role, it depends on whether people are willing to play it.

"I can accept it." Kate Beckinsale recalled the days after "Pearl Harbor", her eyes became firmer, "As an actor, I can play, speak, and perform with the scene. I With such a professional quality, only one opportunity to show is needed."

"But what about your salary? Because of the role, I can't give it too high, are you mentally prepared?"

"of course."

Actresses are already low-paid, and she has long realized this. At this moment, she just wants to seize this hard-won opportunity.

"That's good, you have no problem, just go back first, we will notify your agent."

"I can..." After getting an accurate answer, Kate Beckinsale did not leave. Instead, he asked a little hesitantly: "Can I know what the role I am acting like?"

She didn't mention the script.

Because before the official signing of the contract, very few crews will publish the script, even if the contract is signed, it is difficult for her to see the complete story. It is estimated that only the roles of her role will be listed separately.

"Well, first of all, you have to know that this is a crime-type gangster movie, and what you are playing will be the man who is inserted into the undercover gang by the police." Lehman thought about the role setting, and suddenly asked: "Oh. , By the way, do you smoke?"

This involves her personal privacy, but Kate Beckinsale didn't hesitate to say, "Yes, I have been in contact with cigarettes." During this period of depression, she picked up this again. bad habit.

"That's good, your identity in the play is the owner of a cigar house, and you are also a chess piece placed by the police, responsible for completing the transfer of information with Tom Cruise. In order to conceal your identity, your second priority The identity is the undercover underground lover played by Tom Cruise..."

"Do you have any other questions?"

"Thank you."

......

"Let's stop here today." As soon as the voice fell, the staff on the side came to organize the audition tapes, while Lyman and Heath Ledger turned and left.

The preparatory work is very cumbersome. It is impossible for Lehman to invest too much time on the actors. The audition for several supporting roles took him only one afternoon to get it done. As for the rest of the game, there is no need to hold anything. During the audition, he asked for someone to cooperate with him.Whether it is CAA and other agencies, it is easy to meet the needs of actors.

So when it was all over, it was already a little late, and Lyman took Heath Ledger to dinner and watched him get in the agent's car and leave.

Only then did he return to the hotel. After taking a shower, Lyman went to Ryan's room to discuss something with him.

"Hey, Ryan, how are the preparations?"

Ryan was looking at the filming schedule, and when he saw Lehman's inquiry, he also replied: "It's not bad, the preparations are going well, and the filming will start in a few days."

"Then you are helping me keep an eye on the assistant director, I'm looking for one."

When "Furious" was filming, Lehman felt how important it is to have an assistant director. Some corner scenes can be done by such an assistant, and it can be a lot easier.

It's a pity that Thomas doesn't want to learn the guide, he just wants to be an executor.

No way, I had to find one.

"Well, I will help you pay attention."
