Raymond's audition took one and a half hours, ninety minutes,
Is the one-and-a-half-hour delayed audition useful to Vivian?
Maybe for top actors, it works. With ninety minutes more, they might be able to come up with more plot designs and interesting baggage, but to be honest, for Vivian, one and a half hours,
Nothing can be redeemed.
Unless God provides you with food, what you eat is the accumulation of performance experience.
For more than an hour, Vivian did not focus on pondering the script.
It's about adjusting your mentality.
She probably thought of it together with Raymond, but she realized the key issue a big step too late.
She only thought of it before going to bed last night...
This resulted in her having to stay up all night for this, but cramming things in the blink of an eye was definitely not as good as Raymond's preparations.
The five script roles Vivian got were: dancer, thief, terminally ill patient, murderer, orphaned mother——
She originally wanted to give her best performance in her first role, but after the audition, Raymond chatted with her for a few words.
It is best for her to save her best performance until the end, so as to create a sense of gap and comparison.
"Good luck!"
Vivian was not an idiot, and she understood what Raymond meant when she turned around. She did not doubt whether Raymond wanted to eliminate her - in fact, this company could tolerate them until now, and they had figured out their behavior.
There is no competitive relationship between the two.
On the contrary, because they have known each other for a long time and trust each other's character, they are more like "unfamiliar allies"?
Vivian adopted Raymond's plan.
And when nearly two hours later, the performance of the fifth character was completed, the eyes of the three bosses were obviously different.
Women's sensitivity to emotions and senses is innate, commonly known as the sixth sense.
Vivian couldn't tell anything was wrong from their faces, but she only looked at each other and felt that it was indeed just like Raymond said, this arrangement worked.
When the performance ended, Vivian got the same answer as Raymond, "Waiting for notification from the company, within one working day!"
And the moment she stepped out of the audition studio, she really breathed a sigh of relief.
Not far away, Raymond was still waiting for her. This was unexpected, which made Vivian feel reassured.
Raymond smiled with the stability of a mature man, and said: "I think you must also feel great pressure?"
"Very big!" This was one of the few conversations the two had in the two or three years they had known each other.
She smiled helplessly, her body movements were slightly exaggerated, she patted her proud chest and said:
"I even thought I was auditioning for a major movie. They were so awesome."
Raymond shrugged, "Maybe?"
In the audition studio, on the contrary, there is no so-called aura. Maybe they are used to each other?
The way of getting along is extremely natural.
For the interpretation of Vivian's role, the three people equally divided it as follows:
Ashley: "c,c,c,c,c"
Zhuang Ling: "c,d,c,d,c"
Xia Yu: "c,d,c,d,c"
Although she didn't get a B rating, and even only a C, compared to Raymond's D, she thought about every role of Vivian very seriously.
Moreover, because she majored in acting at university, Vivian has had experience in each role. It is an accumulation of experience, and she has achieved good results through steady and steady work.
After Vivian left, the three exchanged scorecards and began to discuss the issues.
Xia Yu took a pen and circled Vivian's name on the cardboard, then approved:
"Vivian's acting skills are remarkable. Although it is still superficial and the core of the character and script has not been explored, and there is a strong film school style of filming, Vivian's line skills are on the level.
I think that many actors can’t do this and perform the roles they have figured out, so overall c.”
Zhuang Ling has the same idea, but since it is a selection and the next movie roles have to be arranged, different scoring arrangements are different.
She said: "The performance is not particularly amazing, but her examination of the role is in place, and she comes from an academy, so her acting style is steady and steady, unlike Raymond who is a wild person - but her performance is more like a student dealing with an exam.
topic selection.
Her audition for the fifth role was similar to that of Raymond, but she herself approached this role just to "make a problem". The overall appearance was dull and malleable, but the plasticity was not strong unless she could break the current inherent performance.
Thinking, performance mode.”
Ashley was actually pleasantly surprised because she was the only one who had actually worked with these two actors.
Let's not talk about Raymond. As for Vivian, she said, "It has improved a lot. I think her past performances are more dull than what you said, and they just apply question formulas. But it is undeniable that Vivian's acting skills are stable."
Sex, she can be stable within the most qualified range, and as long as we provide proper guidance, we can gain more!"
After watching the two people's performances, Ashley felt much more relaxed and spoke with more confidence.
The performances of Raymond and Vivian are definitely not as good as those of Xia Yu and other movie queens.
But among actors of the same age, he can be regarded as an actor who can stand out on his own in the "Hollywood assembly line".
The protagonist can't handle it, but he's still qualified to play a supporting role.
Zhuang Ling pursed her lips and smiled and joked, "It seems that you are very confident? Then vote?"
"Who is in favor and who is against?"
Ashley, "I agree with Vivian."
Zhuang Ling, "One vote for Vivian!"
When Zhuang Ling turned around, Ashley immediately made a face at Zhuang Ling, clenched her fists, and pretended to fight.
Xia Yu smiled, "I agree."
Zhuang Ling shrugged, "Xia Yu agrees, but it seems meaningless whether I agree or not?"
"Vivian passed."
Ashley breathed out quickly.
Then it was Raymond's turn.
This is what Ashley should focus on——
Because she had a hunch that Vivian would definitely be able to pass, but Raymond didn't know.
She only knows that neither Xia Yu nor Zhuang Ling like people who are too complicated, and they don't like people who are too smart.
This kind of person is difficult to control.
But Raymond...
Ashley was a little complicated for a while.
She was not an idiot. Of course, she had discovered within this day that Raymond was not as "honest and honest" as she thought.
But for Raymond, she still felt that she had to believe in her own vision again.
Maybe she wasn't doing it for Raymond, but just for the last self-identification after so many wrong choices?
If she fails this time, she may not be gullible anymore.
For Raymond.
Xia Yu commented, "There are lines, and it is also an experiential style of acting. If you are willing to study more carefully, you may have high achievements in the future, but your mind is a bit heavy, and more of it may be spent elsewhere. It is very useful to cultivate such people."
Maybe he will leave."
What Xia Yu is talking about is reality. No one wants the team he has cultivated step by step to fly away once their wings become strong, right?
However, it is very easy to retain such a person. The endless resources make him feel that leaving may not be a good thing...
She is not an actress now, but a boss. She considers the gains and losses from the boss's perspective, so no one will say she is too selfish, right?
Zhuang Ling, "If an actor with potential can meet a good agent, maybe his stage will be bigger. As a director and teacher, I am very happy to meet such a talent, but as a boss, You are also the boss now, how do you convince me?"
These words were mainly addressed to Ashley.
"Should I convince you?" Ashley muttered with melancholy on her face, "I can't even convince myself anymore——"
To her, Raymond was simply a piece of gold waiting to be polished, even if it was not gold, it was still silver.
Faced with Ashley's rare realization of being the boss, Zhuang Ling smiled with relief and said, "Who is in favor of signing Raymond and who is against it?"
Facing Ashley's anxiety, Zhuang Ling looked inscrutable, but finally said: "I choose to abstain."
Ashley's eyes lit up immediately.
There's drama!
She immediately expressed her attitude.
"I agree!"
'I knew it.'
Zhuang Ling suppressed her smile and said, "There is only one vote left. Xia Yu, what's your answer?"
Ashley was probably more nervous than Raymond himself, clasping her hands with a "pleading" look on her face.
Xia Yu had already started "acting". Seeing Ashley waiting, she hesitated to express her position. With a serious face, she kept tapping the audition information in her hand with a pen, and even raised it with one hand. Put it against your chin.
After about thirty or forty seconds, he smiled and said, "I agree!"
Ashley was so excited that she almost burst into tears. Then she puffed up her face and accused, "So you are acting? You almost scared my heart out. You probably don't know that your pen is not tapping on the information." Go up, hit me on the chest..."
"Is it that mysterious?" Xia Yu put down the information and said with a smile, "Don't be too happy. We have decided to sign the contract. When Raymond sees the contract, whether to sign it or not is another matter, what do you think?"
"Alas!" Ashley has read the contract. Xia Yukai's conditions and resources are very good, but there are many agreements to abide by, and the liquidated damages are also very high, especially as the liquidated damages gradually increase year by year—— Even if she sees it, she still hesitates.
When Zhuang Ling made an agreement with Xia Yu, Xia Yu was confused, "Don't you think it's a bit harsh?"
Zhuang Ling only said one sentence, "Beware of ugly words first, beware of gentlemen and villains."
"There are a lot of actors in Hollywood, and agents are the same, but they are different. Low-level actors wait for resources, while agents have the resources. But it is very rare to meet an agent who is strong in all aspects, such as I?"
Zhuang Ling has been a film school teacher for so many years, how could she not have the resources?
But she did not talk about her own personal resources, but talked about the resources that [the bankrupt sisters] currently have.
"Under the premise that there are only so many resources, actors from all over the world are pouring into our country, and the competition is much greater than in China - we started with six movies. We have scripts, a team, and funds, so we can at least shoot them. Five years, seven or eight years."
"There is no shortage of remuneration. As long as there is a film that makes him break out of the industry, the remuneration can be increased as appropriate..."
"As a fool, there is no reason to refuse..."
"Oh, no, Raymond is just a sidekick. He's not even a bastard -"
"Don't think too highly of Raymond and Vivienne because of Ashley. There are so many underappreciated actors in Hollywood!"
Xia Yu understands, it’s not just Hollywood, but less so in China? Aren’t actors like Cheng Zhiqing forced to be late bloomers?
"When there are a lot of hard-working and excellent talents, talents are not so important, but opportunities are more important."
"Without us giving him a chance, Raymond might have to struggle for at least ten years before he can wait for the next opportunity - by then, he has wasted ten years, and we only signed for ten years. Do you still think
harsh?"
Is it possible that we will be free in ten years and work hard on our own the same as our bankrupt sisters?
Zhuang Ling patted Xia Yu at that time and said a very realistic topic, "People like you, Junhao Yu, and Eva Veron in Hollywood are only a handful of people who are talented and lucky.
…”
"The most important thing is that you seized every opportunity to rise. That is the key."
…
"Why are you thinking so much? We won't know tomorrow whether we will sign the contract or not?"
Zhuang Ling looked indifferent.
The advantage is mine.
As for why not give the notice?
Even Ashley understands the truth, "Some people are smart enough to not cherish things that are too easy to obtain."
Ashley: 'Am I just like that?'
Zhuang Ling: ‘Isn’t it similar?’
Xia Yu closed his eyes and did not participate in the topic.
…
"It's twelve o'clock, are you going back for lunch? What are you going to do today?" After closing the document, Zhuang Ling asked the big question today.
Xia Yu's meals have become Zhuang Ling's daily expectation. She didn't expect that Xia Yu really has this talent -
After coming to the beautiful country for so many years, Zhuang Ling is very accustomed to the food here, but there are only the same things he eats over and over again.
Where can the broad and profound Chinese cuisine be attractive?
As for the combination of Chinese and Western cuisine?
If it is in the hands of a Western chef, in most cases it will be 11<1, but if it is in the hands of a Chinese chef, the result will be 11>2.
Xia Yu was too lazy to listen to all the lies in the village and just said, "Sister, are you relying on me?"
Zhuang Ling said with an expression of "I deserve it", "You want to eat too, but I have one more. Is there any difference?"
"I'm still worried about you. You're lonely and I eat with you every day. Where can you find such a reasonable and considerate senior sister?"
Xia Yu was helpless, her words and force were no match for this aunt.
I can only accept my fate and say:
"Making chicken soup today?"
“Make a pork belly chicken?”
“Cantonese food? Good!”
When talking about food, Ashley immediately forgets her worries. She also loves the combination of Chinese and Western food.
After a few days of eating what Xia Yu specially arranged for her, she fell in love with it.
Xia Yu couldn't laugh or cry.
"Are there any employees who let their bosses act as cooks?"
“Pork belly chicken, served with a steak and scallion noodles?”
Ashley didn't know the specific appearance, but when she heard the name, she couldn't help but drool.
