American fame and fortune

Chapter 302 The Perfect Audition

Burbank, Leonardo's Appian Way Productions.

Martin came to the front desk, joined Thomas who was waiting here, and entered the dressing room together.

Similarly, he called Robert in Atlanta.

The chief priest of the Cola God Cult immediately acted.

There is no one in the audition room for the time being, Thomas said: "Return favors to favors, and I will try my best to fight for the remuneration and treatment that you deserve."

Martin nodded: "Wait until the audition result is confirmed, and you can go ahead and do it."

He came to repay the favor, but the agent was not.

Moreover, the scale of the script is very large.

Martin doesn't care about the size or anything. He has walked this way and taken it off too many times.

Every time I take it off, there is always something to gain, even the kind of sports that simply pay hundreds of millions, also gain enjoyment and happiness.

Hollywood has a very mature mechanism for nudity scenes. There are corresponding prices and regulations for how much you take off and where you are exposed.

All of these require Thomas to discuss with the crew.

Several stylists and makeup artists came in and started styling Martin.

Thomas left the dressing room, but Bruce remained there, watching everyone with wolf eyes.

Today is a makeup audition.

Martin's beard was cleanly shaved, and his long hair was parted in an old-fashioned way. His already youthful and handsome face seemed a few years younger.

The old-fashioned clothes were brought over, and the costumer looked at Martin's big frame and said, "Change to two sizes bigger!"

The assistant hurried to get it.

The feeling of being thin and weak as a teenager can also be created through modeling and lens. A well-proportioned and strong figure like Martin can be changed into fat clothes.

Of course, there is a limit to this. It is definitely useless to have a Johnson who will gain muscle infinitely later.

Switching to O'Neill, there is nothing wrong with it.

Under the meticulous care of several top makeup artists and stylists in the industry, Martin seemed to have returned to his appearance when he was seventeen or eighteen.

On the other side, many crew members entered the audition room one after another.

Director Sam Mendes, actress and producer Kate Winslet, investor Leonardo, original author Benhard Schlink, and producer and screenwriter Anthony Minghella.

And then there's the Screen Actors Union.

Kate asked, "Is the make-up artist done?"

An assistant said: "It will take about ten minutes."

Casting director Gina led people to adjust the camera.

The author of the original work, Benhard, said: "The time span is too large, can an actor do it? Or a young actor in a commercial film."

"Using two actors is easy to solve." Anthony also has a similar view, but he also has doubts: "The only problem is that two different actors can easily bring a sense of separation to the role."

Kate finally found the right candidate, Martin, and said, "Let's see the audition results first, and then talk about other things."

Leonardo sat next to him and watched the play with great interest.

Anthony and Benhard didn't say any more, they were about to audition, and the specific situation was clear at a glance.

The door of the audition room opened from the outside, and an assistant led Martin in.

Benhard, the author of the original work, looked carefully. The actor has a good appearance and a very strong aura. He is a very confident person at a glance.

This does not match the temperament of the young male protagonist.

Anthony is also observing Martin, but he will not make judgments lightly, because outstanding actors are people with thousands of faces, but at the age of 25...

Martin greeted Kate and the others one by one, and looked back specially.

Unsurprisingly, the dedicated game team members focused on playing their handsets and never participated in actual work, showing extremely high professionalism.

Sam Mendes pulled out a script and handed it to Martin: "Let's go."

Kate stood up and walked in front of the camera: "I will act for Martin."

In the audition part, the heroine Hannah changes clothes, and the heroine Michelle peeks at it.

Casting director Gina glanced at the camera monitor and said, "Go!"

As her words fell, Kate turned her back to Martin, unbuttoned one by one, and took off her jacket.

Martin sneaked to the edge of the curtain of props, the shyness and ignorance on his face were gradually replaced by curiosity, he secretly stretched out his head, and then retracted under the urging of inner morality.

But the strong desire finally overcomes the shackles of morality and the shyness of a young man. Martin seems to be drawn by a magical force, walks out of the curtain, and can't help watching Kate take off his coat...

The original author Benhard stared blankly at Martin, as if he saw some kind of real reproduction of the protagonist Michelle Berg.

The strong and confident male actor on the opposite side completely disappeared after the casting director called "start".

The person is still the same person, but in his eyes, he is no longer that person.

His temperament has completely changed. The self-confidence that belongs to a successful person is gone, replaced by the youthful and introverted youth. When he walked out of the curtain in hesitation, people clearly felt his curiosity and interest in mature women. Longing, even in his eyes and expression, there is an indescribable but comprehensible greed for flesh and blood.

Anthony Minghella looked at the actor in front of the camera. For some reason, he subconsciously turned his head to look at Leonardo. Leonardo, who was in his thirties, was just like that when he was at his best.

Just using his eyes, subtle expressions and few body movements, he vividly interprets the youth's youthful innocence.

At this moment, Kate turned around if she felt something.

Martin turned around and ran, ran across the curtain, hid behind the wall, pressed his heaving chest, and after a while, he came out step by step.

The conflict between ethics and primitive desire suddenly broke out at this moment.

The uneasiness and shame of peeking at the heroine changing clothes, unable to resist the temptation and desire, knowing that it is "dangerous" to come back, still struggled to come back.

At this moment, Leonardo scolded Martin 10,000 words in his heart, and then sighed: This pervert and bastard is really the most suitable to play a pervert.

The little satyr is also a satyr!

At the end of the audition scene, Sam Mendes yelled, "Stop!"

The male and female protagonists in front of the camera seem to be trapped in their roles and cannot escape, walking towards each other step by step.

After walking a few steps, Martin left first and shouted, "Kate!"

Kate Winslet seems to be completely involved in the character's emotions, just like Hannah is going to do at this time, reaching out and touching Martin.

The scale of this script is very large, and many shots go straight to the next three roads.

The same goes for Kate's hand.

Martin stepped forward, grabbed her wrist, and said, "How am I doing?"

Kate broke away from the role, and after a moment of silence, she said, "Very good, bring me into the play."

Instead of looking ahead, Sam Mendes looked at the monitor with producer Anthony.

The picture taken by the camera is different from what the naked eye sees.

Even Benhard, a layman, came over.

Rewatching the audition footage, Sam asked, "What do you think?"

Anthony said: "The audition effect was very good. Martin made a perfect and wonderful display of the character's mental journey at this moment. It was natural and smooth. I couldn't ask for more."

"That's right, it's him!" Benhard interrupted hastily, "Martin just now is the sixteen-year-old Michelle I described."

"An almost perfect audition," said casting director Gina.

The audition was not over yet, Martin left the audition room and went back to the dressing room to remake and style.

When he reappeared in the audition room, he became a middle-aged man.

Switching to an ordinary young actor, if you want to control a middle-aged character, especially a middle-aged person like Michelle who has a complicated psychological process, you will encounter various problems, especially in terms of mentality.

But Martin played the middle-aged man more easily than the young man just now.

Introverted, vicissitudes and quiet, even a little autistic.

After all the auditions were over, the original author, Benhard, couldn't bear it any longer. He stood up and stopped Martin who was about to leave: "Mr. Davis!"

Martin didn't seem to completely get rid of the role, his eyes were full of vicissitudes, and he just nodded slightly.

"Thank you!" Benhard said something strange, the middle-aged German uncle said sincerely: "You really made the characters in my book come alive."

Martin simply said, "You're welcome."

Benhard grabbed Martin's hand and gave it a firm squeeze.

Martin then left the audition room.

Benhard turned to look at the crew members: "I am a layman in making movies, but I can feel the empathy between the characters and the actors. Martin Davis is very suitable."

Sam asked Anthony, "What's your opinion?"

"There are quite a few actors in the industry who can do a single juvenile role or a single middle-aged role." Anthony is also an Oscar winner for best director and has a lot of experience: "But at the same time, he can interpret two roles with such a long time span. In place, there are not many actors who can do it.”

He said directly: "I give up my previous opinion. With an actor like Martin, why should two people play Michelle? That will only weaken the character and the film."

Sam looked at Leonardo, one of the investors.

Leonardo said: "Martin is very good, not only his acting skills, but also his commercial appeal as the leader of the Coca-Cola Cult. We can also sponsor Coca-Cola. At that time, Germany should have Coca-Cola, right? I remember that the United States had troops."

He considered it from an investor's point of view: "There are so many believers in the Coke God, how can there be a group of them who contribute to the box office for their leader."

Among these people, Kate has known Martin the longest and knows him best: "As I said, Martin is very suitable for this role."

Leonardo reminded: "That guy is a lunatic, he is really in shape, and he can compete with Nicholson. Kate, you have to show your best state. Originally, this is a scene unfolding from the perspective of the male lead. You If you perform a little worse, you will be suppressed by him."

Kate is very confident: "No, I just had a feeling that Martin can take me into the play."

Leonardo recalled the happy time with Martin: "Yes, the few scenes I played with him were very good."

Anthony got up at this moment and said: "Since Martin has been decided, there is no need to wait any longer, let him and his agent be notified."

Kate said, "I'll go."

Leonardo followed: "I'll go with you."
