137 Open casting
Michael Fassbender (fandler) pulled his tie a little restrainedly, as if the tie was too tight, making people breathless.
Even though he kept emphasizing in his heart, don’t be nervous, there is no need to be nervous, because he didn’t want to get the role of “the day after tomorrow” at all. He was not very interested in commercial movies, so he would come to participate in the audition, one was to accumulate experience, and the other was because his rent for next month had not yet been settled. He had interviewed several TV series before, but there was no news yet, so he came here to try his luck - but the nervousness still made him feel that the air was thin.
"So you're nervous too? Man." The person sitting next to him took the initiative to chat. Michael turned his head and saw a young man with a flat head with a bright sunny smile on his face. He wore a pair of hip-hop-style trousers and a loose vest that seemed very casual. He pushed Michael with his elbow, raised his chin and signaled directly in front of him, "Did you see that guy? There is an agent already, and I have watched his movies in the art theater, and he even collaborated with Rachel of Friends! When compared with him, I felt that I had no hope."
Michael's originally nervous mood couldn't help but relax a little. He looked at the young man's gaze. It was Jack Gyllenhaal. He had seen his "death hallucination", then he withdrew his gaze and smiled at the young man, "Then why are you still queuing here?"
"Accumulate experience." The young man shrugged for granted, "My agent said that I must attend more auditions, otherwise I will never get any chance to perform in the future."
"I thought you didn't have an agent." Michael grabbed the grammatical problem in the young man's mouth.
The young man drooped his lips down, raised his eyebrows, widened his eyes, spread his hands and made innocent. "He just notified me where to go to the audition. There would be an audition opportunity for another month, so I don't know if he is my agent."
Michael finally couldn't help it, grinned brightly, revealing his neat and white teeth, like a shark, "If he didn't let you pay for it for no reason, then he was indeed your agent."
Just as Michael was about to introduce himself, the door in front of him opened, "The next group is ready, the countdown to sixty seconds." Michael raised his head and saw the assistant of the crew of "The Day Afternoon". He just vaguely heard someone calling him "Percy", but he didn't know if it was his last name or name.
Michael quickly stood up and sorted out his suit. But before he could stand firm, the young man next to him ran over him. His first reaction was "Have you been in line?" In the audition, the act of sewing in line could not help, because in the end it still depends on strength, but no one likes sewing in line itself.
Michael was hesitating whether to advise the other party, and then he saw the young man running to Percy, asking with a smile on his face, "Is there a script? Do we need to read the script first and then memorize the lines?"
Percy looked cold, and his face, which had almost no change, revealed a cold look that he was keeping others from thousands of miles away, like an iceberg, with an aura of "Don't enter the newborn" all over his body, and he threw out a cold sentence without looking at him, "No."
But the young man seemed to have not received any signal at all, and continued to ask with a smile, "So do we need to prepare a performance by ourselves? We can freely play it, is that true? Or is there any special talent that can impress the director? By the way, is there only casting directors, or is the director also there?"
"No." Percy raised his eyelids gently, glanced at the young man, and said a simple and clear sentence, then raised his head and looked at the team in front of him, "Thirty seconds."
The young man still refused to give in, "Can't you reveal the audition content? So that we can prepare well?" At this time, not only the young man, not only Michael, but even Jack, who was standing in front, raised his head and cast his sight.
Almost every audition is different. Different casting directors have different styles. Sometimes the crew will give instructions clearly, but sometimes the actors need to prepare themselves. However, commercial movies like "The Day Afternoon" are really difficult to figure out because the test is not the acting skills or background, and the preferences of casting directors are really difficult to figure out. Therefore, if you can know some information in advance, it would be better for the audition.
But Percy was still expressionless. After looking at the watch, his eyes moved to the writing board in his hand. "The next five people will start to enter the venue." The young man could only run back and stood behind Michael again. The two exchanged glances. The young man grinned, as if he had not received the influence of the episode just now.
Michael retracted his attention, walked forward, imitated the movements of the previous person, looked down at the writing board in Percy's hand, and pointed to his name, "Michael Fassbender", Percy nodded, indicating that he could go in, and then he quickly walked into the room.
In front of me is a dance room, with floor-to-ceiling windows on the right side, with mirror walls on the other three sides, and a door at the other end leading to another corridor. The audition actors in the previous group are leaving from there; there are three tables in the center, with only four people sitting, but due to the mirror wall, it feels like people are standing in all directions. The powerful sense of oppression is coming, and you can smell a tight breath in the air.
Michael felt that there was another person behind him coming in. From the mirror, you could see that it was the young man just now. The young man trotted in, bringing up a sultry air. However, before the young man could stand firm, the person sitting on the far right immediately said, "Ten push-ups."
What?
This was Michael's first reaction. This was the first time he encountered such an audition. He had no idea what to do. Then he saw someone on his left side lowering down. He almost reflexively lay directly on the ground and started ten push-ups without thinking.
After all, Michael stood up and looked around blankly. His brain was in chaos. His already nervous mood was completely messy at this time. Then he heard the calm voice saying, "Introduce yourself, start on the left." The first person on the left was completely stunned. He didn't say anything for a while. In about a second, the calm voice jumped over, "Second."
this……
"Jack Gyllenhaal." Jack only felt dry mouth, only ten push-ups, but it made all his emotions tense.
“…Austin-nibsp; “Michael Fassbender.”
"Channing-Tatum."
The four people's voices had their own characteristics. Austin was a little stunned, but at least he caught up. Michael only felt his voice trembling, and he could only say his name dryly; Channing's voice was still full of vitality, and it could be heard that he was the most relaxed and relaxed among the four people.
Michael couldn't help but lower his eyes and adjusted his breathing. The tension caused by gains and losses will only help worse at this moment.
The man standing on the far left seemed to know what to do, but hesitated and said uncertainly, "Ian-somerha1der."
"Ian, you can leave." As soon as the self-introduction voice fell, the calm voice spoke again. It could be felt that the voice did not have much emotional changes, no ridicule, no ridicule, no irony, but it was just the calmness, not even thinking or hesitation, but it was the coldness that made people shudder.
The man on the far left was upset and was unwilling to move his footsteps at all. But then, Percy walked up and politely invited him to leave. He sighed twice, but could only take a step. The clattering footsteps seemed particularly empty in the silent dance studio, even with echoes.
Michael knew that he could not be distracted. Even if he was not very interested, he had to be serious about rent. Moreover, he had already had a deep understanding of how terrible the fierce competition in Hollywood was. So Michael raised his head and looked at the four judges in front of him calmly. His eyes fell on the man on the far right intentionally or unintentionally - it could be felt that he was the one who gave orders.
Unfortunately, the man leaned lazily on the back of the chair, with most of his cheeks hidden in the shadows. Only one quarter of his side face curves were vaguely seen, light and shadows fell on his clean and neat black head, extending down along the simple and sharp chin curve, and the dark blue houndstrap dark-print shirt outlined the toughness of the shoulder lines...
The gaze hidden in the shadow raised slightly, which made Michael's heart tremble, and he carefully looked away, and then he heard the voice say, "You are on a plane now, you are afraid of flying, but you are sitting next to you, what will you do."
It's actually on-the-spot... This is also an audition method that many directors are very passionate about, because it can test the actors' acting skills and adaptability, and show their real materials in a limited space. Especially the directors who are very knowledgeable about acting - Experiential acting skills, I really like this method.
"Channing, you are the first one, thirty seconds." The voice left almost no room for thinking, and he spoke directly.
Channing was stunned for a moment, waved his hand directly, and said with a bachelor expression, "This is too difficult. If it were me, I would probably be stiff in place and pretending to be asleep, otherwise I would be embarrassed to die." The frank words made the people next to me chuckled, and then the person sitting on the far right slightly slightly slapped his chin, without commenting too much, and said directly, "Next, Michael."
