138 Excessive force

Michael closed his eyes, then took a deep breath, forcing his brain to completely empty. After reading the novel to the Internet, he clenched his fists, stood up completely with his feet, and all the muscles on his body were tense to the extreme. His body couldn't help but lean back, gritting his teeth to suppress his tension. Even so, his body still couldn't help but start trembling slightly.

The trembling that was almost invisible to the naked eye disturbed the milky yellow light in the dance studio, making the surrounding halo slowly dizzy like the ripples of a lake. From the soles of the feet to the fingertips to the jaw, fear and tension were like floods slowly rising in a confined space, and the suffocation compressed the living space bit by bit.

I have to admit that Michael's simple method almost brought the essence of the performance to the extreme. The feeling of fear and tension came to his face.

Channing stood beside him, but at first he couldn't understand it. He thought Michael was so nervous that he was trembling. He closed his eyes and didn't dare to perform. He raised his hand and wanted to pat Michael. But then he saw Jack and Austin standing on the other side showing a look of surprise, which made Channing's movements stop.

At this moment, Michael's eyes slowly opened, and his translucent blue eyes showed all the mixed emotions in his heart. Then his mouth slightly pulled, as if he wanted to make a smile, but his facial expression was completely stiff, and his smile was even ugly than crying.

Michael saw the person sitting on the far right leaning forward slightly, and the large shadows slid down like a waterfall. As time faded, the hidden face was revealed bit by bit, as if there was a thin layer of luster, which carefully depicted the thrilling face curves. The decadent temperament wandering between strength and fragility lingers between eyebrows like smoke, revealing a mysterious and deadly courage.

Under those eyes, Michael's performance was interrupted. He stood there at a loss, all the tension in his body relaxed, and he didn't even have time to see whether those eyes were blue or green, so he embarrassedly avoided his sight.

The unfinished performance came to an abrupt end.

Michael did not dare to raise his head, and only heard the calm voice without any pause. He then said, "Austin, it's your turn." Michael secretly glanced out of his eyes, only to capture a curve of the corner of the man's mouth, indifferent and alienated, but like a ray of sunshine in the cold winter forest - even if it is cold, it is still warm.

Michael was a little annoyed that he could perform better, and he was definitely not just that, but he messed up. Suddenly, he was extremely eager for this performance opportunity "the day after tomorrow". Even though he knew that it was just a commercial movie, his sixth sense was roaring: seize this opportunity.

Perhaps, he could win more performance opportunities with the success of a commercial movie. Unfortunately, his chance has passed. This made Michael unable to help clench his fists, and his inner irritability was hard to suppress.

"Jack." Hearing this call, Michael immediately looked up and looked over, and then he found that not only him, but also Channing and Austin, also looked over. Obviously, they were all curious about how Jack, who is now well-known and has a rising career, will perform.

Jack took out a pack of snacks from his pocket, took them apart, poured them into his palms, and threw them directly into his mouth, and then started chewing, but he did not stop and poured some into his palms, and continued to throw them into his mouth. Once, again, four times, half of his face bulged, obviously because the mouth was full of food, but the other side was basically normal, and then he saw him chewing constantly, as if he was just eating.

Jack is just eating?

Michael took a closer look and found that Jack's gaze was a little defocused, moving around anxiously, and he had no way to calm down. The action of throwing food also looked very mechanical. After careful observation, he could even find that Jack's hands were trembling slightly, and then his gaze was constantly looking around, without a target, but he was still wandering.

Michael suddenly realized a detail: the character he came to audition was Sam, the son of the male lead Jack. He was only in the twelfth grade this year and was about to go to college. Then, Sam should still be a teenager and a big boy, and his youth and recklessness should also be considered.

So, this also means... Jack's performance is more appropriate, and even Channing's performance is more appropriate. Michael is really upset. He is twenty-five years old this year, and he has no advantage in playing Sam. Now his performance is so rough that he has not thought about it carefully - he can already confirm that he has withdrawn from the competition.

This made Michael a little frustrated.

"It's OK to get here." The calm voice said, interrupting Jack's performance, "So, are you all here to audition for the role of Sam?" The four of them looked at each other, no one raised any objections, only Channing said with a smile, "Is there any other role that can be tried?"

The person sitting next to him chuckled and responded, "This is a very large crew." This made everyone chuckled.

"Okay, you can leave." The man on the far right said again, waved his hand and signaled them to leave.

Michael hesitated for a moment, looked back and didn't see Percy. Percy should have gone to the door to greet the next group of people in, and then looked back at the man on the far right, gritted his teeth and said, "Sir, can you comment on my performance just now?" Although he didn't know the man at all, and he was not even sure whether the man had the ability to comment on the performance, his intuition told him: He can!

The man raised his head, and a playful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, which faintly flashed, but there was a hint of playfulness between his slightly frown eyebrows, "Shouldn't you ask me to give you a second chance?" Michael's movements made the other three stop the steps of the other three.

Michael shrugged, and to be honest, "I don't think I'm that special to win a second chance." He wouldn't forget that in less than a minute they entered, there were only four of them left. "So, I just want to know my strengths and my weaknesses."

At this time, the door of the room opened again, and an Asian-faced man came in first. He found an abnormality inside and stopped immediately. The door became crowded in a blink of an eye. Percy noticed this abnormality, walked in from outside the door, and immediately stepped forward and cast a puzzled look. However, Michael noticed that the man raised his hand and paused, and then Percy's steps stopped.

"What if it's all shortcomings?" The man's answer was very intriguing.

Michael couldn't help but be stunned, a sense of absurdity arose, and the smile on the corner of his mouth was outlined, "Then at least let me know." Although he was smiling, his heart slowly sinking. As he guessed, his performance did not match the role of Sam. Now he didn't even know why he stayed and asked such a stupid question. Could it be that he was humiliating himself? He had no tendency to be abused.

The man raised his eyebrows slightly, then lowered his eyes and said in a deep voice, "You can leave, the next group."

This time, Michael did not continue to entangle. He took the step and walked towards the door opposite first. Channing scratched his head inexplicably, looked around, and then followed quickly. Soon, with Jack and Austin leaving, the dance studio welcomed the next group of auditions.

"How do you think?" Albert sat next to Lance. He could feel that Lance was quite satisfied with the actors just now.

Albert's guess is correct. The overall level of the actors in this group is good, all of which are recognized by Lance. The famous Michael Fassbender, the popular Channing Tatum, the strong Jack Gyllenhaal, and even Austin Knicks and Ian Somerhalder are not unknown people.

Lance pondered, "His performance is more suitable for plot movies. It can be seen that he should have been trained in East London, with a solid foundation. But for commercial movies, it is too deep for the audience to understand." Although Lance did not name it, Albert immediately understood that Lance was talking about Michael.

Albert glanced at Lance in surprise, "I thought you would focus on Jack Gyllenhaal."

Lance did not answer, but looked up at the group in front of him. There were four Asian faces in this group - as Lance conceived, after he accepted the "day acquired", China will replace Japan and become the Asian representative in the movie. He not only wants to hand over an important supporting role in the movie to Chinese actors, but also intends to place the city that the disaster first invaded. Therefore, he needs a lot of Asian actors - especially Chinese.

Michael left the dance studio with great strides, stood in the corridor, breathing the fresh air outside hard, and his hot lungs slowly cooled down. "Are you okay?" Channing's voice came from behind, "To be honest, your performance just now was really amazing. I didn't understand it at first, but later after I knew what was going on, I... wow!" Channing expressed his inner excitement with joy.

At this time, Austin and Jack also walked out. Several people exchanged sights, and Jack quickly left.

"You said, did he have prepared for a long time?" Channing pushed Michael, looking at Jack's back and said, "Otherwise, how could he carry snacks with him and perform so well that even factors such as airplanes were taken into account."

Michael couldn't help but be stunned, then shook his head, "Who knows."

"Sure enough, people with strong agents are different." Channing was amazed, "But he is indeed capable..." Michael also cast his sight at Jack. Jack did not stop at all and went straight forward. When he reached the entrance of the stairs, one person came up, and the two walked down the stairs side by side.
