Chapter 862 Audition for '300 Spartans' (Part 2)
Whether they are senior management of the company, designers, screenwriters, directors, or authors of novels, everyone sitting here, including Men Jie, has only one purpose.
That is...
Let's make the movie "300" better!
If it is a low-budget movie, the benefits are not many, and there may be some racist people, or they simply want their relatives and friends to star in the movie, and some nasty things like nepotism will appear, but for a total movie
For a Hollywood blockbuster with an investment of more than 60 million US dollars...
If the film fails, and if there is any problem in any link, their future in this life will be completely ruined.
No matter who it is, it is impossible for them to have even the slightest dirty thoughts on this.
Therefore, Menjie was previously worried that there would be trouble in the casting this time, and it was all a waste of time.
Even if it is for profit, as long as they feel that Menjie is very suitable for the second supporting actor in the movie, even if they hate Menjie in their hearts, they will put on a smile and invite Menjie to participate in the movie.
Of course, this was something Menjie did not expect, but Menjie was still very happy to gain the goodwill of everyone present.
"Come on, Menjie, give this to you!"
Just as Menjie was communicating skillfully with everyone in English, and everyone was praising Menjie's English as being very good, Zack Snyder rushed back from outside, holding a bag in his hand, and handed it directly to Menjie.
"This is……"
Frowning slightly, Menjie picked up the pocket handed over by Zack Snyder with some confusion. When he opened it, he found that it turned out to be the movie "300" that he had watched from the King System.
Among them are the equipment of the Spartan warriors!
The soldiers in the movie "300" were dressed very simply, nothing more than a red cape, small leather pants, and then... nothing more.
In Menjie's opinion, it may be because this nation does not learn scientific and cultural knowledge and only rushes into battle. All warriors have extraordinary fighting talents, fighting sense and fighting consciousness, and extremely tenacious will.
.
Whenever they fight, they will abandon the bulky armor in order to save more physical strength. They choose to only use helmets and shields for defense. In addition...
Spartans can only attack and kill!
It is precisely because of this that in the movie "300", in addition to simple clothing, all the soldiers only have a four-piece set of a spear, a scimitar, a shield and a helmet.
There is no armor.
If you want to see clearly whether Menjie has the temperament of a warrior, it is very simple. You only need to ask Menjie to put on a full suit. However, after seeing Menjie's image at this time, except for Zack Snyder,
, everyone really had a certain fondness for Menjie, a Chinese.
Maybe this has something to do with Menjie’s ‘amiable halo’?!
Just like this, after thinking about it for a while, everyone felt that it was enough to take a rough look at whether Menjie himself really had the temperament of a warrior. There was no need to make it too complicated.
It is also true that among the things that Zack Snyder brought to Menjie at this time, there were only shields and spears. Apart from these two standard items, there was nothing else.
"Men Jie, just use these two pieces of equipment and give us a rough performance today. If it's similar to what you performed in your personal photo album... this role will be yours!"
Finally, Zack Snyder told Menjie exactly how to audition today.
There is no need for Menjie to have too many performances. In fact, through Warner Bros.’s news channels, we also learned that Menjie has appeared in countless Chinese movies in the past two years, most of which are top Chinese films.
The lineup of actors and directors.
Until some time ago, Menjie had become the leading actor in an excellent movie shot by China's top director. In terms of acting, there should be no problem.
So what everyone is most concerned about right now is whether Menjie is really as shown in his personal photo album "God of War Emperor", with his whole body naturally exuding a feeling of iron blood and a warrior.
This is the most important thing.
and……
Because everyone already had a good impression of Menjie in front of them and felt that other than Menjie, no one else was very suitable. The difficulty of this early audition was also reduced a lot.
There is no need for them, the assessors, to specify a certain part of the script for Menjie to play. It only needs to show the feeling of a warrior, and that is enough.
"Can!"
Menjie nodded slightly. Although Menjie was wearing a sports suit, which did not match the equipment in front of him very well, Menjie maintained that he had an "iron-blooded temperament", but he was not afraid at all, holding a shield in one hand and a shield in the other.
Holding the spear, he stood in front of the five people.
After closing his eyes and taking a slight breath, Menjie's whole body naturally revealed a strange temperament.
This temperament is the B-level temperament skill ‘Temperament Rendering (Iron Blood)’ that Menjie possesses and has just activated!
Of course, Menjie is just an actor after all, and he has not evolved his "iron-blooded temperament" to a more advanced level, and his level is not very advanced.
If Menjie can develop his iron-blooded temperament to such a level as an A-level skill, I am afraid that just exuding this temperament can give everyone at the scene a sense of coercion and suffocation, as if they have really witnessed the corpse.
The feeling of a warrior emerging from mountains and seas of blood.
But now...
Menjie is still far behind!
Among the acting skills, the lowest level is the D-level skill, which is just a specific gaze and can only be regarded as an introduction. In addition, among the temperament skills, the lowest level is the C-level skill.
Common C-level skills, such as C-level iron-blooded temperament, probably require Menjie's specific clothing and a series of makeup to make people look like a warrior when performed.
'feeling.
The existence form of this kind of temperament is more superficial and purely for performance.
As for B-level temperament skills, since the word "rendering" exists in them, naturally, it is an ability that can affect the people around you!
If paired with appropriate clothing and some makeup, Menjie can give people around him the feeling that "he is a real warrior" just by standing here.
In fact, if you get too close, you may still be affected by Menjie during the acting. The timid will be afraid, which is the true meaning of the four words "temperament exaggeration".
But it is a pity that at this time, although Menjie possesses and has activated the B-level temperament skill 'Temperament Rendering (Iron Blood)', as well as the acting skills that are enough to completely control it, it is because he does not have specific clothes and makeup.
, unable to emit it perfectly.
Because the casual clothes on his body are somewhat inconsistent with the current aura, Menjie standing on the same spot, although it will give people the feeling that "he is a real warrior", it cannot affect other people.
The warrior came to fear.
But just that, but it also made five people, including Zack Snyder, couldn't help but shine.
At this time, the temperament exuding from Menjie's body was exactly what they needed!
When they were casting, they found countless people, many of whom had excellent acting skills or unique temperaments, but none of them were what they needed.
Some of them have incredible acting skills and can perform with ease, but they do not exude the feeling of a warrior from their bones.
Some people, because of their many years of military experience, have a sense of competence, heroic appearance, and majestic appearance, but they also have the feeling of a warrior.
But this soldier is just a soldier living in the modern army and in peacetime. He lacks the feeling of a soldier who has "seen blood and killed people".
Of course, among the people who auditioned, there were also actors who gave people the feeling of having "seen blood and killed people". They indeed looked like a warrior who had experienced hundreds of battles and killed countless people, but
In their bodies, they can't feel the feeling of being ordered and forbidden, and motionless as a mountain.
Such a person can only play a hero-like character, not a warrior!
In the movie "300", the Battle of Thermopylae is described. The main content is that 300 Spartan warriors relied on the natural danger of Thermopylae to hold back hundreds of thousands of Persian troops.
, a story of fighting thousands of times more enemies without defeat.
A hero, a powerful Spartan warrior, is a human being after all. No matter how powerful he is, he will never be able to withstand hundreds of thousands of local troops by himself.
The most important reason why Sparta's 300 warriors were so powerful that they could withstand hundreds of thousands of troops with only 300 people was because these 300 people were united and had a tacit understanding. They were able to rely on their unique combat skills during the battle.
Formation, binding 300 people into one, finally resisting the enemy.
A Spartan is like a fierce tiger, looking at everything, but if 300 Spartans are put together, they are a dragon, incomparable!
So...
In the movie "300", the reason why the Spartans are strong is not because one person is a hero, but because of their tacit cooperation and mutual trust.
Chapter completed!
