Quiet, the booth was quiet, Paul secretly raised his eyes from behind the menu to take a look, Renly, Andy, and Neil were all looking down at the menu, their focused appearances seemed to be deciding an important choice for life and death. , there is no peace in the quiet atmosphere.

Fan was alone, impatiently looking at the pages of the menu, the sound of swiping and squeaking spread in the peaceful air, and his frowning eyebrows showed his dissatisfaction and irritability without any concealment.

Paul was thinking about how to ease the atmosphere, and then he heard Renly's voice in his ear, "Fan, when will the sequel of 'Extreme' film? Can't you go home?"

Not only did it break the silence, but it also broke the awkwardness, and all of a sudden, Paul, Andy, and Neil's attention rushed toward Renly and, of course, Fan.

Fan's mouth was itchy, he wanted to answer, but he had to hold back, the face in front of him was still so disgusting, the mouth was chattering, "I watched 'Extreme Agent 2' before, the only The thought was, why was this film made? To be honest, the extreme sports in the first film really opened my eyes, did you play the scene of jumping off the bridge yourself?"

"Yes." Before the brain could control it, the voice line was the first to answer, and the rushing emotions in the body broke the blockade of reason and began to introduce incessantly, "The situation at the time was like this"

Andy lowered his head in relief, continued to browse the menu, seriously thinking about what to have for dinner, and was not worried about Renly's situation at all. Vaguely, Andy noticed the burning gaze falling on his head, raised his head and saw it With Neil's inquiring eyes, Andy smiled and raised the menu in his hand, as if asking: Have you finished ordering?

Neil also raised the menu, then lowered his eyes and looked like he was browsing the menu. In fact, his ears had been listening to the conversation. Fan's warm voice enlivened the atmosphere, and Renly could be heard from time to time. Or Paul's voice to answer, but mainly Fan was speaking alone.

It didn't look like a role audition at all, it looked more like a gathering of friends.

Neil's head couldn't help thinking of Renly's personal information. He has only appeared in two works so far, and he will be twenty-one in two months. First the Emmys, then Toronto, the uptick is surprising. But beyond that, his profile is lackluster.

Thinking about what I saw and heard in Telluride in the past two days, the two works "The King's Speech" and "The Social Network" are unrivaled in the limelight, but "Buried Alive" and "127 Hours" are also far ahead in the number of discussions. But the two are somewhat different. "127 Hours" of Danny Ball is being mentioned more and more, and "Buried Alive" is Renly's increasingly dense word of mouth.

And tonight, a great night. Just look at Andy's reaction, he's not worried at all; however, if Neil has an actor like Renly, he really doesn't need to worry

Calm and wise, advancing and retreating appropriately, gracefully and calmly, not only does he not have the youthfulness and immaturity of rookie actors, but also does not have the nervousness and panic during auditions. From beginning to end, he shows a rare general style from beginning to end, even during the entire conversation. , faintly prevailed.

"Renly, you don't seem to have anything to do with action movies, so if you become an action actor, what are your advantages?" After ordering, Neil took the initiative to open the topic and took the initiative. The same words, compared to Fan just now, Neil's casual words are calm, but there is a kind of decisiveness that cannot be quibbled.

"Well, my 100m time can be in twelve seconds?" Renly pondered for a moment and gave an inaccurate answer, but then everyone heard the subtext:

What strengths do action actors need? Being able to fight, run, and be agile, that's all, after all, it's impossible for Hollywood to find pure martial arts actors like Li/Xiao/Long, and these requirements are all physical, Renly at this time You can't show it with your mouth. So, there is such an absurd and uninhibited answer, which at least proves that Renly's motor nerves are very good.

After understanding it, Paul was the first to laugh, and then the others couldn't help but smile.

Renly raised his eyebrows slightly, and his eyes fell on Fan, who was on the opposite side. He and Neil were sitting on the same side. The shifting of his eyes was always a little strange, "I thought appearance was an advantage of mine." Renly said The follow-up words again surprised everyone.

It's still 2o1o, and in 2o14, even an old British gentleman like Colin Firth has starred in "The Secret Service: The Secret Service", and it has been well received. The appearance has never been the shackles of action movies. It's a pity that Renly has no way of citing Colin's example right now.

However, as Renly said, the "Degree and Passion" series is a classic action movie, but the routine is too serious. This is the case with casting. That's how Dwayne Johnson came into the crew's sight, but Dwayne has already been chosen for the fifth film, so what about the sixth film?

In fact, a really good action actor should not be too bulky, because the action will appear sluggish, and the light body will gain some advantages. Harrison Ford was not a traditional action actor when he starred in "Star Wars" and "Indiana Jones". style.

"Or, your character setting is far from mine? Then, I can't see where this conversation will go today.

. In just two sentences, Renly calmly took the initiative in his hands again, and then threw the question away.

Fan obviously did not expect that he was stunned for a while. When did he start, a rookie who had only acted in one movie, asked back questions during the audition process? When did it start, a little guy with no name, dared to take the initiative to ask questions to the producer? How dare he!

There are really too many actors in Hollywood, even the third-tier and fourth-tier actors who have starred in one or two works. Indie movies are all over the street, and any brick can throw a nobody who has been on the Sundance stage. . During most of the audition, the actors didn't even have time to introduce themselves, and they were eliminated in just ten seconds. The audition directors had to see hundreds of fresh faces a day, not to mention accepting questions, even Greeting conversations are too lazy to proceed.

Although it is said that thanks to the two works of "Pacific War" and "Buried Alive", and thanks to the two stages of Toronto and Telluride, Renly was able to audition face-to-face, but in essence, He's still a complete rookie. It was only today that Neil and Van had heard the name "Renly Hall" for the first time.

Ren Li's rhetorical question this time really caught Fan by surprise. Poor Vin Diesel, sitting face to face with Renly, would have been much better if it had been Neil.

It was Neil who took the conversation calmly, "Then what's your character setting?" Fan immediately turned to look at Neil, avoiding Renly's gaze, but after reacting, he felt inwardly. The anger in the depths began to rise again. What kind of newcomer is this? Arrogant, ignorant, rude, self-righteous, eliminated! Without any doubt, directly eliminated!

"Have you seen the 'Degree and Passion' series? If there is a character interspersed in it, how would you set it up?" Jiang was still old and spicy, and Neil followed Renly's words and threw further questions. Paul and Fan also looked at Renly at the same time. At this moment, the audition was really starting.

Renly thought about it seriously, but without avoiding the question, he gave the answer directly, "Jakebauer." The male protagonist of the classic American drama "24 Hours", known as the "Undead Little Strong" Jack Bauer.

As a counter-terrorism expert, Jack is a very classic character. Wisdom and bravery coexist, killing decisively, calmly and wisely, with clear thinking and no sloppy waters. Kieeutheand, who plays this role, starred in the first season. At the time, he was not a typical action actor, his physique was not strong, but his skills were strong, and the temperament of the fierce and vicissitudes of his body made Jack Bauer's classic.

If it is said that in an action movie with adrenaline full of adrenaline like "Degree and Passion", what character depth and ideological connotation are discussed, it will inevitably drag down the overall rhythm of the film, just like the restart of the "Bourne Bourne series, No. 1" Part 4 and Part 5, on the contrary, were inferior. Renly would not make such a mistake.

Therefore, choosing a clear character concept, positioning and shaping the character style before filming, and then implementing it into the film to integrate with the film style is the most important. Classic action movie series such as "Bourne Bourne", "Mission Impossible", "oo7" and "Die Hard" are all so successful.

Renly's example was very accurate and clear, and Neil instantly understood what he meant. The styles of Jack Bauer and Dwayne Johnson were completely different, but they unexpectedly matched Renly's temperament. To be more precise, Neil thought it would be fun if Renly would play the Jack Ball-esque character. He had Keanureeves in his mind, Keanu in "Life and Death" and "The Matrix" performance in. Keanu isn't your typical action actor either.

I have to admit that Neil's curiosity was aroused, but he didn't show it on the surface, but continued to ask, "Then we can use Kiefer Sutherland. Compared to him, what advantages do you have? Woolen cloth?"

"Heh." Lan Li chuckled lightly, without the slightest panic, he pursed the corners of his mouth, and the shallow smile was hidden on his lips, like a bud blooming proudly on the treetops in spring, "It's not inferior, You all know Kiefer, but you don't know me, etc., that seems to be my advantage too." Renly turned his head past Paul and looked at Neil, "Isn't it?"
