When he walked into the hall, a staff member came over, "This is the plot summary of the movie. Please read it carefully and prepare a thirty-second performance yourself. There is no need to introduce yourself. Pay attention, no need to introduce yourself. After entering, start the performance directly in order, and there is no need to introduce yourself! The performance only has thirty seconds, please pay attention to the time!"

Allen felt that his palms began to sweat, and that real feeling came to her face. She knew that she should calm down, but the adrenaline explosion made it difficult for her to maintain her emotions. ★★ lowered her head in a conditioned reflex, looked at the plot summary in her hand, and couldn't help but be stunned. This was not a "introduction". It was almost the weight of a short film's script.

"The next group is ready to enter the venue!" The staff's voice came from the noisy and dull hall, which made Allen suddenly raise his head. Before she even started watching, she was about to start?

At this time, the air conditioner in the hall was whistling, and the cool air cooled down the sweat on the surface of the skin, but Alan felt very stuffy, even more depressed than being outdoors, and his nervousness showed signs of losing control. Alan knew that the whole audition was going on very quickly, with a group of ten people, and there were only four groups in front of her, which also meant that it was her turn in a blink of an eye, but there were so many plot introductions in his hand, how could he finish it in a short time? The more he thought about it, the more nervous he was, and his emotions were like a wild horse that could not be held back.

Taking a deep breath, taking a deep breath, Allen still couldn't calm down, but at least her brain had begun to rethink. She now has two choices: either put aside the so-called plot summary, break the constraints, perform with her own understanding of the character, and recall the recruitment requirements in the bulletin board, rock, youth, violence... not playing cards according to common sense seems to be a good choice.

However, there were more than a thousand people who came to the scene today, and it was impossible that she was the only one who thought so herself. Perhaps on the contrary, countless people were holding this idea and wanted to take shortcuts.

Either read the plot in your hand carefully, then figure out Lance's intentions, and then do his best to perform.

"Think! Think!" Allen took a deep breath again. She knew that Lance was a very special director. From his works, he could see it. Lance gave such a plot summary that could not be read in a short period of time. It was definitely not aimless. If the actor had not let the convention break the rules and give up reading, then why did he do this?

After breathing a long sigh, Allen decided not to think for the time being, but followed his intuition, lowered his head and began to read the plot summary in his hand quickly. This is indeed not a simple plot summary. The first five pages wrote the creative background of "Fruit Hard Candy" in a long and detailed manner, how to read from Japan to inspiration for related news, how to think about the punishment and containment of relevant laws, and how to connect with the church/sex/aggression that has been still sensational recently... Simply put, it is to introduce the entire story background in a scattered manner, but does not mention the story itself at all; the next three pages are clips of the script, and a three-minute conversation is cut off; the contents of the last two pages are different, and here they are carefully introduced the background of the two protagonists, one is Jeff and the other is Hailey.

Why? Why did Lance go so hard?

Allen had no time to think. She thought about it carefully, and finally chose to turn to the part of the script clip to read it quickly. At the same time, she was silently chanting the lines in her mouth to strengthen her instant memory. She didn't have time to worry about whether her choice was correct. Her goal was: don't forget the lines after standing on the stage! Otherwise, regardless of whether her choice was correct or not, the performance would be ruined.

Emma Stone stood at the end of the team, reading the information in her hand carefully, and was fully focused. A voice suddenly came from behind, "Sorry, please follow the team in front?" This voice made Emma suddenly raise her head, and then she saw another group of actors entering the audition hall. The team had already started to move forward. She quickly turned around and apologized, and then quickly chased after her.

She looked down at the paper in her hand. She was already soaked in sweat, and some corners had already started to get hair, which made her smile bitterly. At this time, she finally understood why Lance said that she was not suitable for the role of Hayley.

Sebastian asked her that if she wanted, she could audition alone without having to attend today's public recruitment. Not only because of her personal relationship with Lance, or because she is an artist under William Morris' agency, but also because she has an innate advantage over others - she has read the entire script in advance, is very familiar with the ins and outs of the story, and has enough time to understand the role, which is not fair to other candidates who know nothing.

So, she could take the audition alone, and then Lance had a comprehensive consideration.

But she refused. It was not because of the youthful spirit, but because she knew she had an advantage, so she needed fair competition and participated in the public recruitment with a dignified attitude - standing with all the candidates, she had a leading advantage, which also meant that her performance must be more outstanding so that she could truly impress Lance. So she appeared at today's audition site.

Like everyone else, Sebastian's incorrect estimate of the number of candidates for the audition led Emma to stand in the second half of the team. But this is also good, it really makes her go through the whole process of waiting, nervousness, curiosity, and expectation like other candidates, and do her best to compete for the role of Hayley.

In order to express her determination, Emma knew nothing about today's audition content. When she got the thick stack of plot introductions, Emma was stunned. She knew more than anyone that Lance would not be aimless. He must have a deep meaning in doing so, but what exactly is it? What should she do? Even if she can temporarily put these materials aside and perform according to her understanding of the script, then which paragraph should she perform? Which paragraph can truly reflect her understanding of Hailey?

Originally, reading the script in advance was Emma's advantage, but now it has become a disadvantage, which has bound her hands and feet. The countless chaotic thoughts in her mind are unclear at all. Should she follow the middle script excerpts to perform, or should she perform an extra performance based on her understanding of the character, or should she perform a scene that is not related to the plot but closely related to the character according to her previous conception? She greedily wanted to express all her understanding, but she found that she had no clear idea, and the weight of this material in her hand was far beyond her imagination.

The tension and oppression at the scene made her mess up.

At this moment, Emma finally understood what Lance meant. Although Haley was only fourteen years old, she showed wisdom and calmness that was inconsistent with her age. She first made plans for the camp step by step, and then ordered Jeff to take the bait in an orderly manner. Although she was caught off guard when an accident occurred, she quickly came up with a solution and regained the situation in her hands, and finally successfully played Jeff. This not only required Haley to be smart enough, but also bold enough, and calm enough.

She had read the script in advance and was fully prepared, but after she arrived at the scene, she was still caught off guard and could not even think calmly now. Obviously, she still has a big shortcoming to control the role of Hailey.

After realizing this, Emma was a little frustrated.

However, the frustration lasted for a short while, and then Emma cheered herself up and cheered up again. Maybe she could take over the role of Haley, maybe she couldn't, maybe she was still too young now, maybe she was not ready, but no matter what, she had already come here, she had already stood in this position, she would do her best to complete this audition, Haley is still the role she wants to challenge the most. Even if she fails, she will not regret it, because this will become an important lesson on her career path.

So, what should she perform in her audition?

The waiting time passed in a flash. "The next group", Emma raised her chest and pushed open the door in front of her with a high stalwart.

Walking through a narrow corridor, a staff member stood at the end, pointing his hand to the stairs on the right. Emma followed the instructions to walk up the spiral stairs. The performance stage at the end was present in front of her. You could vaguely see the backs of the previous group of actors leaving the stage. The diagonally in front of her was the empty seat of the entire theater, and the pressure invisibly filled the air.

Percy stood at the side entrance with no special expression, just nodded at Emma, ​​signaling that they could make an appearance, and then withdrew his gaze.

Emma took a step forward without any hesitation. Her footsteps creaked on the wooden boards of the stage, and then she could see more than a dozen people sitting under the stage, separated scatteredly, unable to tell who was the casting director with the right to decide. Moreover, due to the backlight, such a long distance could not identify where Lance was, as if there were black heads under the stage, creating an illusion of a Broadway performance.

Closed her eyes, Emma completely cleared her head. She didn't need to make any useless thoughts. She should concentrate on the performance, otherwise Lance would never show mercy. She knew this clearly. What's more, at this moment, she did not perform for Lance, but for herself.

When the nervousness reached the extreme and my mind went blank, Emma calmed down instead, and decided on her performance in a flash. Then, a strange voice echoed in the theater, "The first one on the far left can start." Emma knew that this was her moment.8
