The audition for "Smell a Woman" began quickly, and the interview room was the conference room next door, which was not improvised, but a complete room to block out the noise in the studio. A few people went in front, and they didn't stay for a long time, the shortest seemed to come out after just going in, and the longest was only three minutes. You know, now the actors in the reception room are all actors who have works to talk about, and the audition ended so quickly, which really makes people can't have a good premonition, could it be that today's crew is just looking for newcomers who don't have much experience?

Soon, the person who had just shut up Hugo and Leonardo got up, and Hugo and Leonardo immediately straightened their backs and sat upright, and at the same time looked at this man with round eyes, no special malice and no special expression, as if it was just the usual look, the difference was that the eyes were very wide, which made the man very helpless, and wanted to say something but had nothing to say, so he could only speed up his pace and enter the conference room. Seeing the man's hurried back, Hugo and Leonardo were almost about to laugh without holding back, but considering that there was still a task to be completed, both of them held back.

Sure enough, after a while, the man came out, he only lasted about two minutes, and as soon as he came out, he saw Hugo and Leonardo still sitting in one place, as if they were children on the first day of school, staring at him with curious eyes. The man was furious by Hugo and Leonardo, but the other party had no malice, so he couldn't say anything, and finally ran away.

This time, Hugo and Leonardo laughed out loud, but the others did not complain, but the others in the reception room couldn't help but burst out laughing, which immediately eased the tense atmosphere in the reception room a lot.

Allen Lewis When Lewis walked out, he saw such a pleasant atmosphere in the reception room, and among the group of actors, Hugo and Leonardo, sitting in the center, were so dazzling that they easily attracted people's attention. Among them, Hugo's sunny smile is particularly attractive, and the warm, brilliant and gorgeous halo makes the corners of the viewer's mouth involuntarily outline an arc.

However, thinking of Hugo's black history of smashing the pot in three consecutive works before, not to mention the negative impact of the Golden Raspberry Award, the smile on Allen's face also narrowed a little, and he retracted his attention and returned to his work, "Leonardo DiCaprio, you are next." ”

"Good luck buddy." Leonardo stood up, and Hugo said with a smile, which made the smile on Leonardo's face lighten up a little, and then followed Alan into the next conference room.

Without a chat partner, Hugo immediately sensed the tension coming to his face, because his attention had been shifted to the upcoming audition, and the tension involuntarily wound all the tendons in his body, and the tension of the muscles made him feel that his breathing became rapid.

Hugo got the script back in his hands, but he couldn't read a word, to be precise, his brain was now completely blank, and Hugo couldn't even remember his original plan. Hugo knew he was too nervous. At the time of the audition for "Big River Love", Hugo was still in a state that had just crossed over, and he couldn't figure out the situation in a daze, so he ended the interview in ignorance, and today's audition was obviously completely different.

Take a deep breath, take a deep breath, Hugo constantly forced himself to adjust the rhythm of his breathing, although he has not seen any big scenes, the band's performances in the past are basically small occasions, the performance stage of the Midi Rock Festival is the biggest occasion of their band in ten years, but for dealing with tensions, Hugo still has his own set of means.

After a few deep breaths in a row, Hugo's anxiety really calmed down, but his brain still didn't come to his senses, and Hugo knew that he could only wait until the audition process was improvised.

At this time, Leonardo walked out of the conference room, Hugo raised his head and cast an inquiring look, Leonardo did not stay in it for a long time, about three minutes. Leonardo smiled helplessly and shook his head, looking like the audition process wasn't going well. Leonardo didn't come over then, just said "good luck", and then waved goodbye to Hugo and went outside to find his agent.

"Hugo Lancaster." Alan stood at the door of the conference room again and shouted into the reception room.

Hugo took another deep breath, stood up, hesitated, took the script in his hand on the couch, and walked towards the conference room.

Whispering a "thank you" to Allen, who opened the door for him, Hugo walked into the conference room and saw the furnishings in the room at a glance. It is said to be a conference room, but it is actually a small room of more than 300 square feet (30 square meters), in which a round conference table is placed, and three people are sitting next to the table.

Hugo stepped forward and put his resume on the table, today is an open interview, and submitting a resume is a necessary procedure. This is Alan who also walked to the table and sat down, and she smiled and pointed to the woman sitting on the outermost and said, "I'm Casting Director Alan Lewis, and this is Lily Sturkamp, the representative of the Screen Actors Guild." Hugo and Lily exchanged a polite smile, "Okay, you can get started, you have thirty seconds." ”

Hugo was stunned for a moment, the two men in the middle didn't introduce at all, who are they? And as soon as they came in, they didn't even look at their resumes. Recall that the people who participated in the audition only stayed for three minutes at the longest, and Hugo understood.

"Thirty seconds? I don't know what I can do. Hugo pursed his lips, raised his right hand to the script, and said honestly.

"What do you mean?" Alan asked with a frown, and the two men in the middle, who were originally reading Hugo's resume, couldn't help but raise their heads and look over.

Hugo was not nervous at this time, and spoke very fluently, "I mean, Charlie is a student, and he doesn't have a concentrated bright spot in him to burst out in a short time. If you give me thirty seconds, no matter what I'm playing, I can't show the character of Charlie. ”

Allen's face showed an inquiring look, but the two men in the middle still didn't have any expression, just exchanged glances with each other, "You haven't read the script, Charlie and the lieutenant colonel have several confrontations, and Charlie has a lot of room for performance." Hugo opened his mouth, originally wanting to say, "This is a rival play, and we need to stimulate each other's performances", but Allen, as if he knew his quibble, raised his hand to stop Hugo, and continued, "Do you think that the role of a student is not challenging, and it is enough to rely on the performance of your own colors?" ”

"Not really." Hugo was not discouraged, there would have been various situations during the audition process, which had no way to prepare in advance, even if he turned out the script of "Smelling Fragrance and Knowing Women", it would be useless. So he didn't panic, and still said methodically, "I mean, there's no way to play such a thing as student anger, just like you can't deceive people about how many books you read." Even Al Pacino, who went to play the role of Charlie, could not be played. Otherwise, you wouldn't have held an open interview today, would you? ”

Alan glanced at the two men on his right this time, and a thoughtful smile appeared on the faces of all three of them, "Even if what you say is correct, it doesn't mean that your behavior is correct, you think that you walk in and can get the role without performing anything in the thirty seconds we give you, that's impossible." Alan hit Hugo mercilessly, but she didn't see any frustration on Hugo's face, still that warm smile, "If you follow your current logic, then how did you get your role in the 'Dead Poets Society'?" ”

In fact, objectively speaking, Hugo is very suitable for the role of a student, and his classical book temperament is very eye-catching, and he plays a student in "Dead Poets Society".

Hearing this question, Hugo was immediately embarrassed, because he really didn't know about the audition for the "Dead Poets Society", and it couldn't be said that Tracy went through the back door. So Hugo raised his right hand and waved it gently, "Say ...... 'hello'?" ”

This childish humor immediately made Alan laugh, and smiles appeared on the faces of the other three, which made Hugo feel a little relieved.

"Since you don't think you can express the essence of Charlie's character in thirty seconds, then obviously you have your own understanding of this character, can you talk to us?" Alan glanced at the watch on the table, thirty seconds had passed, but she had no intention of letting Hugo leave, and the two men next to her obviously had no such intentions.

The two men sitting in the middle are director and producer Martin Brest and screenwriter Beau Goodman. Although the person who ostensibly holds the power of life and death today is the casting director Allen, the fact that the director and the screenwriter both came to the audition in person shows that they take the role of Charlie very seriously, and they don't want to find a bad actor for Al Pacino, which would ruin a movie. Although they have never revealed their identities, this does not mean that they will remain silent, but there are no actors worthy of their words at present.

Although the development process of the previous audition was unexpected by Hugo, this problem was not difficult for him, and the benefits of reading the script repeatedly before were highlighted at this time, the original blank brain now has a steady stream of ideas, and Hugo can speak directly without thinking.

"Of course, as long as you don't rush me out." Hugo's first words once again made Alan and the others smile.
