265 Insufficient heat
Looking at Lance's absent-minded casual expression, Mark had to force himself to close his eyes again, otherwise he would not know whether he would get angry and vent his inner emotions directly. Then it would be really out of control. However, Lance obviously did not intend to let Mark continue to be stable, but sneered gently, "So...no?"
The contemptuous tone finally made Mark unable to hold it anymore, his voice gradually lost control, "What!"
Lance raised his eyebrows lightly and said with an innocent expression, "I just asked, is that all you audition?"
This innocent look finally defeated Mark's last line of defense, and the words in his chest rushed out of his throat without any scruples, "Audio? Do you call this an audition? Throw out an inexplicable proposition, a story full of loopholes, no point in leveraging the performance, and then let me perform directly? What's worse is that you are still destroying my performance rhythm and posing as if you don't care. It's simply despising my performance!"
Faced with Mark's anger, Lance raised his eyebrows slightly, and did not get angry, but turned to look at Cole, and raised his tail sound slightly, "Newcomer?"
All Mark's anger was frozen in an instant, and the surging insult made him almost unable to raise his head. In fact, anyone who has rolled in the circle knows that this is the case almost every audition, the strange audition methods, the absent-minded staff, and the interview results that are not available... Only newcomers will not be able to adapt to such auditions.
But obviously, the three people in the office knew very well that Mark was no longer a newcomer.
Cole also seemed a little embarrassed about Lance's ridicule, but he did not apologize, but stared at Lance with wide eyes, "You haven't given us too much preparation time."
Lance curled his lips. "You didn't give me much preparation time either."
Cole spread his hands and expressed helplessness, as if saying, "We're even?" But Cole naturally knew that this was impossible, and then said, "Give him a second chance?"
Lance shook his head and chuckled, "No, I have already obtained all the information I deserve." Then he put Mark's information on the desktop.
At this time, Mark finally came back to his senses, but in the face of Lance's ignorance, he still felt a little humiliated. Although he could only be regarded as a second-tier actor in the circle, no one could deny his strength in acting - ten years of polishing would be without any discount. Today, in front of Lance, he seemed to be broken and abandoned his armor, which was indeed unacceptable.
Compared to Lance's new director, what Mark cared more about. Lance mocked him from the height of acting. This was his profession and confidence, which was unacceptable. "But..." Mark's voice impulsively broke free from the constraints of his throat, but after he spoke it, he realized that he had lost control, so he took a deep breath and adjusted, and then tried to speak in a calm tone. "I mean, what information did you get?"
Although his tone was calm, the volatile eyes still revealed his true emotions at the moment.
Lance thought this was a very interesting thing. After Mark won attention with the image of the Hulk in a series of movies such as "Avengers" - including before, Mark's external image has always been healthy and positive, with a gentle attitude, and rarely excessive language. Even a violent character like the Hulk has added a sense of bookishness to his interpretation.
However, the Mark in front of him not only seems immature, but also has obvious problems with emotional control. Obviously, there are too many things that can be changed by time. Lance looks at all from the perspective of the future at the present time node. It becomes interesting.
Lance let out a sigh of relief. In fact, he didn't intend to explain because he didn't need to hire or not. He just needed to tell Cole, which was enough. Just like the "day after tomorrow" audition, he didn't think it was necessary to explain the details of the audition to everyone - because he didn't have that much time, and these people had nothing to do with him.
However, today's situation was obviously quite special. Lance looked at Cole, stretched out his right index finger, and made a "one" gesture. His eyes were meaningful, as if he was saying "Only this time, no example." The shining gaze made Cole's heart skip a little, and then he let out a breath.
"First, your acting skills are very solid. Even if you were distracted just now, your eyes and lines are combined quite well; second, your performance is too rough and the temperature is too big; third, you are not professional enough, you can underestimate my ability, but at this time I am the interviewer, and the person who has the right to make the decision is me. Even if you don't want to star in this work, since you have appeared on the audition site, then this is a platform to show yourself, and you should pay enough attention. After all, you are not Sean Pan or Tom Hanks, aren't you?"
Lance said a few simple words. Mark wanted to interrupt almost every time he said a sentence, but he stopped, but Lance did not give him a chance. Then he continued to speak, his endless but concise words made Mark unable to sustain him. He looked at Lance with a dumbfounded look, unable to say a rebuttal.
"Uh..." Mark pondered for a moment, turned to look at Cole, as if he wanted to ask for help, but he couldn't say that, so he could only look back at Lance again, pondered for a while, and squeezed out a sentence from his throat, "Insufficient heat? What does it mean?" Mark's chaotic brain finally calmed down a little, "In this scene just now, you didn't give me much room to play at all, just trying to make me play a policeman. This is not my specialty. I didn't do pre-investigation, how could I have a good performance!"
Lance looked at Cole helplessly, and this time he was no longer tolerant, and said directly, "When will I become the acting teacher of your actors? I have a lot of fees to start classes." Cole thought Lance was joking and smiled embarrassedly, but Lance was telling the truth.
Lance looked at Mark again, "From this question just by looking at it, you can draw a conclusion, either you have no intention of being on today's audition, or you are a terrible actor." A sentence stabbed Mark's heart fiercely, "The scene just now contained so much information, obviously you didn't analyze it. First, confused, the policeman knew nothing about what happened on the scene, and he was full of questions and was full of questions to find the answer. This is his job and also your performance leverage point; Second, careful, I just left many clues, blood on the ground, the height of the fourth floor, and there was no corpse on the scene, which proved that the informant could not have jumped off the building himself, and it was very likely that he was murdered. The absence of fighting on the scene also added more doubts to the case, which made things complicated. This is an important entry point, and you can ask questions."
Mark was already dumbfounded. He had completely missed these details just now. A situational assumption that seemed to be clueless, but it contained countless details. For laymen, this was just a reasonable speculation; but for insiders, this was an important information for shaping the character. Different ways of dealing with the same situation were actually the embodiment of the character's personality. In other words, Lance just now left him with huge room for play, allowing him to create a policeman with the characteristics of "Mark Ruffalo". It can be irritable, careful, cold-blooded, boring... But he missed it all.
"The third and most important point is helplessness and anger. As your colleague, I have always been indifferent to the case and have not paid enough attention to it. I even focus on my own little business. On the one hand, you feel angry and hope to attract my attention and convince me to join the research of the case; on the other hand, you also feel helpless, because this is the cruelty and helplessness of society. I think even if I work hard, the final contribution will be the f-force, so I don't want to do my best."
Lance's words not only stunned Mark, but Cole, who was sitting next to him, also seemed very surprised. Everyone knew that Lance filmed "City of God" and "After the Day". These two works show Lance's control of rhythm and deep thoughts, but almost no one knew that Lance had such an accurate judgment on acting.
In the seemingly ordinary reaction action, a role has been taken over, and Mark's performance has also inspired Mark's performance. Cole felt strange. Lance is not like this, and Mark is not like this, but under Lance's careless attitude, Mark's emotions are gradually angered and eventually lose control.
Now it seems that everything was done intentionally by Lance, who tried to help Mark get into the role - Mark did fall into emotions, but unfortunately, Mark's own carelessness and casualness wasted such a good opportunity, and there was no detail of the character at all.
"Apart from the first point, you all failed." Lance sentenced Mark to death with the last words. Seeing Mark open his mouth, he seemed to want to defend himself, but Lance shook his head, "If you don't want to star in this work, then you can turn around and leave. Staying here is just a waste of time." Mark opened his mouth again, Lance showed a light smile, calm but could not refute, "You need my explanation, but I don't need yours."
Immediately, Lance ignored Mark's depressed face and turned to look at Cole, "If all your actors are of this level, then I think it will be difficult today."
Cole pretended to be calm and smiled at Lance, "Don't worry, you won't be disappointed." Then Cole patted Mark's shoulder and said in a low voice, "Go out and see if Kate has arrived. If it is, let her in. If not... then Neil."
Mark didn't look up to look at Cole, and stood up straight and dragged his depressed steps away from the office.
