Madonna sang acapella another Barbra Streisand song: "The Way We Were," the theme song for the movie of the same name she starred in with Robert Redford
At this time, even director Alan Parker couldn't help but applaud, "Okay, she sang very well. We can consider using her to play Coco."
"No, Ellen. She should play Doris. Look at her nose, figure, and singing skills. She looks very much like Barbra Streisand when she was young. She is suitable for the average-looking Jewish girl Doris who lacks self-confidence."
When she heard that she was average-looking and lacked self-confidence, Madonna curled her lips.
"You must be blind, David." Director Parker's nose got bigger when he was angry, and he began to criticize the producer mercilessly, "Doris is a girl who lacks self-confidence, look at her..." said
Pointing to Madonna, who held her chin up, she asked, "Is she someone who lacks self-confidence?"
Ronald saw that something was not going well, and the two of them were about to quarrel again. He quickly stood up from the seat he had just sat down on, leaned against the wall, and moved towards the door step by step. If you can't reach an agreement this time, don't look for it again.
I'm in trouble.
When he saw Madonna looking over, he quietly made a shushing gesture to her, indicating not to tell anyone about him.
The director and producer argued for a long time in front of Madonna, and suddenly remembered...
"Ronald, what do you think? Huh"
"Where's Ronald? Have you seen him?"
Madonna shrugged and spread her hands.
"Okay, okay, let's not argue here. We won't make a decision about Madonna for the time being. We will decide on his role in the next round of auditions." The producer said, pointing to Madonna, "You can leave a contact.
Method, wait for our notification."
"What is this?" Director Alan Parker saw the notebook that Ronald had forgotten to take away. He opened it and saw that one was folded into two, and the crumpled paper fell out.
The director unfolded the paper, and on it was a fragment of Hillary's script.
"...My dream is to dance all the classical ballet roles, including Giselle, Coppelia, Sleeping Beauty, and Black Swan before the age of 21..."
This is a good show. Director Parker applauded in his heart and slammed the table: "Who is that? Go and make ten copies of this paper."
Joanna Melling's judge's seat had been filled by another colleague, and Ronald wandered around the audition spots on the first floor.
When I went to Margery's place, I had agreed that he was here to watch the dance audition today, so I added a chair behind the judges' table. Meg was interested in the two protagonists of the dance department, and he also wanted to see the quality of the competitors.
I watched several in a row, but none of them were as good as Meg's ballet dancing.
"Both of them are better suited to play the lazy Lisa Monroe."
“Who is right for Lisa Monroe?”
When Ronald turned around, it turned out to be Meg.
"Why are you here?"
"The director asked me to go directly to audition for the second round of Hillary and Lisa Monroe in the afternoon." Meg laughed.
"I'll go watch your audition then."
The next person to audition was a Chinese girl, and she was competing for a Chinese-American group role.
"You can also play this Chinese ballet girl." Ronald joked to Meg quietly.
"Don't talk nonsense." Meg interrupted him seriously and dragged him to the corner. "Don't mention my Chinese ancestry again, Ronnie."
"Why?" Ronald didn't understand.
"No one has told me about my Chinese ancestry except you. Especially as an actor now, if you are identified as Chinese, you will not be able to get roles in the future. How many Chinese roles are there in Hollywood a year?"
"Okay, I understand." Ronald made a gesture of zipping his mouth shut.
"Well, I'm going to prepare for the performance, so don't disturb me."
Meg's acting skills are still in the training stage, and she needs to be alone to prepare herself emotionally.
Ronald was waiting to see the last few candidates for the morning's interviews.
"Next one..." Margery called in another ballerina girl.
"Go ahead and do these actions according to the audition notice."
The girl has blond hair and an elegant figure. She has already changed into ballet practice clothes and dancing shoes.
She made ready movements and began to rotate her legs, one circle, two circles, then an arabesque on tiptoes, holding steady for half a second, like a beautiful white swan.
Ronald was stunned. This was the girl who played Hillary in the dream.
I stood up with a bang, accidentally knocked over a bottle of water, and hurriedly put it away.
The girl looked at him angrily.
"What? Love at first sight?" Margery joked to him in a low voice.
"No, I feel like she is Hillary." Ronald looked serious. This joke could not reach Meg's ears.
"You should indeed pass, both skills and temperament match Hillary." Margery smiled and handed a green card to the girl, write your name on it, and go to the second floor for the second round of interviews in the afternoon.
Ronald leaned over and saw that the girl's name was Antonia Franceschi.
"Italian?"
"Antonia Franceschi, you are the first"
The second-round interview in the afternoon was in the large room on the second floor. Director Alan Parker, producer David DaSilva, Margery and other casting directors were all sitting there.
The director also installed a camera, which is specially used for shooting 35mm movies, to film the audition process.
An actor's face will undergo some wonderful changes after being refracted by the movie lens. Some people who are beautiful in life may not be beautiful in the camera. Or conversely, ordinary people in life can become charming in the camera.
.
Everything is decided by the movie gods.
"Take this," Allen handed Antonia a piece of paper, "Get familiar with it, we'll start in five minutes."
Five minutes later, Allen turned on the camera and signaled the girl to start.
Antonia Franceschi sat on a bench with her hands folded and placed on her abdomen, brewing a sad mood.
She acted very well. She opened her mouth with a crying voice and tried her best to hold back the tears. Her pitiful look was heartbreaking, and then she began to talk to herself:
"...You see, my dream is to dance all the classical ballet roles, including Giselle, Coppelia, Sleeping Beauty, and Black Swan, before I am 21 years old..."
Wow, Ronald stood up again.
Everyone looked at Ronald, blaming him for interrupting this wonderful performance.
The most surprised thing was Margery. What happened to Ronnie today? He suddenly stood up twice in front of Antonia? She couldn't help but look at Ronald.
Ronald was shocked and frightened.
He had his eye on director Alan Parker.
This is the script he wrote. It contains Meg's secret dream, and it is also the script he promised Meg to throw away!
Alan Parker actually used it as an audition! How did he get the script? Why did he do it without discussing it with himself?
Meg would definitely blame him.
Meg Tilly was among the crowd watching, covering her mouth, which was open in surprise, with her hands.
A pair of wonderful eyes looked at Ronald, as if reprimanding him. Why didn't you keep your promise? Give the director the script that belongs to Meg alone? Why let another girl read the lines that belong to Meg alone?
Ronald also saw Meg, and there were silent accusations in the air.
Speechless.
A large amount of regret surged into Ronald's heart, and a drop of sweat slipped through the collar of his shirt with a tie and flowed down his back.
This drop of sweat was like turning on an emotional switch. Surprise and regret suddenly turned into anger, directed at director Alan Parker.
Ronald felt the blood rush to the top of his head with a buzzing sound. Adrenaline was secreted excessively in a short time, and his hands began to shake involuntarily.
With the last trace of reason left, Ronald knew the consequences of the attack and held it tight without rushing out to sabotage the audition.
"Look, there is no room for a baby in my dream."
The lines read by Antonia Franceschi became very strange when they reached Ronald's ears.
The sounds of the outside world seemed to be separated from him by a layer of membrane. All the sounds became softer and vague. Apart from the sound of blood flowing rapidly in his ears, there was only the sound of his own teeth clenching.
The fists that were grasping tighter and tighter, the veins on the arms with exposed veins, and the rattling sounds of the teeth made Margaery next to her startled.
The nurse played by Joanna Melling uttered her line: "Do you pay with MasterCard or American Express, honey?"
Antonia Franceschi almost laughed. Who wrote this wicked line? It was humorous at the end of the tragic scene. But she still held back her laughter and raised her head to look at the nurse, showing a confused look about the future. Completed
Had a wonderful audition.
After her wonderful performance, what she was waiting for was not the director's approval, but a loud noise.
"boom!"
Antonia was greatly frightened.
It's Ronald.
He couldn't hold it in any longer and punched the table.
