Chapter 1395 1395 Character audition
"I don't have any special thoughts, just thinking that maybe I can give Steve a reason to become a hero, such as family." Faced with Roland's curiosity, Hugo did not reserve and simply expressed his thoughts.
In fact, Hugo did not intend to study and analyze the characters in depth about the "Doomsday" script, which was later renamed "Independence Day". On the one hand, it was because there was almost no portrayal of the characters in this movie, which was similar to the "speed of life and death" at the beginning; on the other hand, it was because Hugo didn't want to consider the performance too much now. After "Death Prison Walk", he still needed some time to take a rest and adjust.
Only after he experienced it, Hugo could realize the feeling that Heath Ledger had after filming "Batman Prequel: The Dark Knight".
However, as Hugo said, if Steve could be given a reason to fight for it, the whole character would be full. This is also a common problem in many commercial popcorn movies. Those heroes who go to heaven and earth only fight for battle, and move like "I want to defend the earth" and click down, which seems empty and boring. It was not until the appearance of "Spider-Man" in 2002 that this situation changed.
"A reason to struggle..." Roland fell into deep thought because of Hugo's simple sentence. Obviously, this is a part that many people have never considered, and this is also the reason why the "Batman Prequel" series directed by Christopher Nolan can become a classic. He is also a person after all, an independent individual.
Roland's thoughts began to roll. He turned to look at Hugo with a relaxed face, thinking. In fact, there are too many examples of overnight fame in Hollywood, and there are also many vases that directly rise to power by relying entirely on appearance. Therefore, people often think that Hollywood is too easy to become famous in Hollywood and continue to do so. But in fact, it is never easy to truly gain a foothold in this fame and fortune market, and none of the few people who can reach the top are fools.
Hugo's wisdom made Roland unpredictable.
Why did Brad Pitt wait until this year to usher in a full-scale outbreak? Why is it not the "Seven Deadly Sins" but the "Twelve Monkeys"? There are many reasons. The accumulation of works is an inevitable factor, but one element that cannot be ignored is Brad's own mind and understanding of the Vanity Fair. Only when he truly grows up will the halo of superstars follow. The turning point of the "Seven Deadly Sins" is crucial to Brad.
Otherwise, there would be Drew Barrymore, River Phoenix, Macaulay Culkin in front of it, and Justin Bieber, Shia Labeouf, and Jonas brothers... They were all very popular for a while, but none of them could truly have the aura of superstars. The path to superstars has never been that simple.
Roland suddenly became curious about Hugo's experience. It was not the experiences that people knew, such as the "Death Poetry Society", "Hudson's Eagle", the Golden Raspberry Award, etc.; it was Hugo's own exploration and pursuit on the long acting career.
"It's started." Hugo seemed to have not noticed Roland's gaze at all, and pointed to the stage with a smile.
Roland pulled the corners of his mouth apologetically, then turned to look at the stage, and the entire stage had become crowded.
A row of fifteen children stood in a straight line, looking around in a daze, and there were even people talking loudly. It seemed that most of them were ****s with no experience in acting. They didn't know what to do, or even where to look. They just stood there anxiously, nervously or excitedly, and looked like the scene of children from kindergarten and elementary school going out for a spring outing together.
There were a lot of children standing on the left side of the stage, and there were countless people. It was obviously the next group of people who were preparing to go on stage for audition. What was even more lively was that empty seats began to fill one after another, mainly because most of the people who came to audition today were children. Although the winter in Los Angeles is not cold, the wind outside was still relatively strong; and the Los Angeles Grand Theater could accommodate 2,000 people, so Sergio led the team behind the room in order to sit down.
As a result, the atmosphere on the entire scene began to warm up. It was not the noise of the drums and drums, but the messyness. You could clearly feel the restlessness of the children, allowing the air to collide between the tender faces.
"Ah, look at these kids..." Cameron gently pulled Hugo's arm and sighed in a low voice. Although she had not finished speaking, the slightly raised tone had already shown her emotions. Hugo looked at the emotions on Cameron's face and couldn't help laughing.
The row of fifteen children in front of me stood in a row high and low. The child standing on the far right was very tall. He was at least five.4 feet (1.65 meters) and was the tallest among the children in this row, which seemed to be quite out of the crowd. The child seemed very nervous, and his right hand kept wiping sweat on the edge of his pants. The noise of other children around him also distracted his attention. He could see him turn his head anxiously to look at the other children next to him, his mouth squirming, as if saying "Quiet...Quiet..."
"Really? Don't you think the child is really..." Hugo said with a slightly frown and a smile, "Is it very noisy and difficult to control?"
Hugo once played a single father in "Sleeping in Seattle". Because of Hugo's personality, he is very fond of children and can always get along with the children. But today, so many children suddenly appeared in front of him, which still made Hugo feel a headache, and only felt bees buzzing in his head.
"No, I think this is the difference between the child and us." Cameron said with a smile, and then suddenly he just grabbed Hugo's arm and pointed at the child on the far left on the stage. "Look, look, he is guiding other children. He is obviously about to get angry, but he is holding back his emotions. Isn't that expression not adorable?"
Hugo could feel Cameron's voice began to change. Before Hugo could laugh out loud, he heard Roland next to him chuckling. Cameron heard the sound and looked back and saw the smile on Roland's face. This made Cameron pull the corner of his mouth awkwardly, and a stiff smile at Roland, then stared at Hugo wide, slowly stopped his back and leaned back on the back of the chair.
Such a Cameron makes people laugh.
"How about it, do you have any special thoughts about this group of children?" Roland asked.
Hugo shook his head directly, "No, you can discuss with the casting director." Hugo did not intend to participate in the casting, so these things were left to Rick and Kevin to decide, but Hugo had a curious thing, "Roland, is this the case for public casting?"
"What do you mean?" Roland didn't react.
"I mean, why do it look like...uh, we are choosing slaves." Hugo's metaphor made Roland laugh out loud, attracting the attention of many people around, and even the children on the stage watched it one after another.
The child standing on the far left also cast his eyes nervously. No one knew whether the laughter just now was a good or a bad thing.
Roland also realized his loss of composure and quickly lowered his voice and said to Hugo, "No, it's not like this. It's the first time I've seen such a scene today." After that, he leaned forward and started to whisper with the casting director.
The reason why Hugo asked this is because today's audition looks very different.
In fact, Hugo himself has participated in many public auditions. He and Leonardo met at the public audition site of "Smelling the fragrance and knowing women". Many auditions were crowded and the competition was particularly fierce. Although there were a little more people today, it was still not unusual.
However, at this time, Hugo was sitting under the stage. Although it was also a film screening venue, it was originally used as a stage theater. Therefore, Hugo sat in the center of the audience and could see the entire stage. Every move of everyone on the stage seemed so real and trivial. The close contact was coming from above the stage, and he could clearly find the small details of each interviewer.
This made Hugo sigh. He had never participated in such an audition because this stage would completely show the people above to the audience. Hugo couldn't help but remember that no wonder actors from British colleges all forced to stand on the stage in East London. The test of facing the audience was definitely not that simple.
Such auditions are far beyond Hugo's imagination, which makes Hugo even more interested in today's selection. Of course, he is not a role as an interviewer, but just a part of the participant.
Because the child on the left was outstanding in height, Hugo's gaze naturally shifted. He looked carefully and felt something abnormal, but he couldn't say it. He lowered his voice and asked Cameron, "You said, the child on the left... is really under twelve?" Hugo really couldn't master the age of the child, and it seemed that it looked almost the same.
Cameron also looked at it carefully, "Yes, he looks... he should be thirteen or fourteen?" Then she raised her hand and pointed to the child, "Look, he is obviously much more sensible than other children. He either takes auditions frequently or has grown up and become sensible."
Hugo glanced at Cameron and said speechlessly, "So, the eight-year-old child is ignorant?" If parents tell the eight-year-old child what happened today, they will definitely understand it. This complaint made Cameron stick out his tongue shyly.
Hugo turned his head and looked carefully again, but Roland had signaled that the group of children would walk off the stage, and the child on the far left left was the first to leave. At this moment, a flash of inspiration in Hugo's mind, and he finally knew something was abnormal!
This kid looks so familiar, like... a young version of Captain America!
