Chapter 3 Performance Moment
David moved away from the door, "You are Anson, right?"
"Anson Wood. It is a great honor to meet you, Mr. Klein."
The voice was low and magnetic, like blue velvet. David turned around and looked along the sound, and his line of sight couldn't help but rise, higher than expected.
The tall height, well-proportioned, wide shoulders and narrow waist are very suitable for clothes racks; surprisingly, he did not choose an old-fashioned shirt suit.
Wearing a white T-shirt with stone gray overalls, and a simple peacock blue knitted cardigan on top, his handsome and tough face has a refreshing and sunny clean temperament. The contradictory textures are perfectly blended together, and there is a sense of France in his movements. Unique charm.
Although unassuming, it easily stands out from the stereotypes.
When I looked at it roughly just now, I was deeply impressed; now when I look at it carefully, I can’t help but take another look.
The smile on David's lips rose, "Sir? Ha, it seems that Darren described me as particularly scary."
"Uncle Darren said, that's called professionalism. After all, you guys I didn’t come here to make friends.” Anson did not follow the routine.
David paused for a moment, and couldn't help but take another look at the young man in front of him. Some were outspoken and could easily make people unhappy, while others were outspoken but refreshing. The tone, way and expression of speaking were also a science.
Obviously, Anson belongs to the latter.
David raised his chin slightly, "What about you?"
Anson and David came to the desk, but neither of them sat down, but continued across the table Standing, Anson faced David's gaze calmly, "I'm here to make friends. After all, I'm not professional enough."
Is this... a pun?
"Haha." David laughed out loud, looking at Anson's clear eyes, feeling relaxed and happy. Then he sat down and signaled with his eyes, and Anson followed suit.
David, "So, what did Darren say to you?"
Anson needs to search his memory, after all, it all happened so fast today, but there is no information in his mind , "He said remember to tell you that I really, really like 'Friends'."
So direct?
David was amused again.
Anson did not finish his words, "But I want to say that you must have heard this sentence countless times. After all, I am not the only one who likes 'Friends', otherwise the series would not be the number one in the United States."
David crossed his hands on his belly, slowly leaned back on the chair, and gently raised his chin, with a proud look in his eyes.
“Personally, ‘Dream’ is very interesting, and ‘Veronica’s Wardrobe’ should have given Uncle Darren some inspiration.” Anson finished the work.
These two TV series are all produced by David.
Among them, "Veronica's Closet" tells the story of the female boss of a lingerie company and her subordinates, earlier than "Sex and the City"; but in terms of success or failure and reputation, " "Sex and the City" is far from comparable to the former.
The laughter deep in David's throat was released heartily, "Darren probably won't like your point of view."
Anson disagreed, "Creative inspiration is everywhere, but how to evolve inspiration into something It's an excellent work, but not everyone can do it."
David raised his eyebrows slightly, then changed his face without warning, his face was grim, and he snorted, "What are you doing? Are you complaining about not being able to produce a work like 'Sex and the City'?"
Is this a test?
Anson did not panic or evade, and stood straight to meet David's gaze, "I mean you have finally found your areas of expertise and produced works that countless people like."
The air is a little quiet.
David did not speak immediately, but stared at Anson quietly.
Anson has a pure and comfortable aura about him. He looks at the way the other person talks, sincere and frank, and the atmosphere quietly relaxes. Even an old fox like David who has been in Vanity Fair for many years can't help but look forward to it. Looking at his eyes, there was no trace of the youthfulness of an eighteen-year-old at all. Inexplicably, David thought of Alain-Delon.
The corners of David's mouth raised slightly, and the tense atmosphere dissipated without warning. The conversation changed, "So, what performance have you prepared?"
Originally, it was just a formality; then, it was just a brief chat; but now, David became a little curious——
I wonder how this little guy’s performance is?
It’s not that he’s expecting any acting talent, it doesn’t matter even if it’s a disaster, isn’t Brad Pitt trained little by little? He’s just purely curious about what kind of performance Anson will choose. , and how it will behave.
Anson was a little nervous, "Oh, now?"
Finally, David saw some age-appropriate emotions in this child, and a smile appeared in his eyes, "Why, we still need Make an appointment at another time?”
Anson joked casually, "No, I just want to say that I have a performance in a small theater in a few days. Why don't you come and enjoy the whole performance, but now it seems that you are obviously not interested."
"Ha." David was amused again, "Your guess is correct."
A small joke made Anson calm down a little -
To be honest, everything happened It was too fast, it was only five minutes before time travel; I originally thought that this audition was just going through the motions, but David suddenly cut into the topic and completely subverted the situation. Thousands of thoughts surged into his mind, and it was inevitable that he was a little panicked. nervous.
However, it was only for a moment.
In his previous life, in order to make money, he tried many jobs and experienced all kinds of situations, big and small, but he was not really a fledgling eighteen-year-old.
Moreover, just now I was traveling through time and space like The Flash. It was just an audition in front of me, so there was no need to mess up.
If you think about it seriously, this is your own spotlight moment, and you should be excited and excited.
So, what should you perform in the audition?
Generally speaking, new actors tend to like to perform classic clips when auditioning.
For example, Robert De Niro's "Are you talking to me" in "Taxi Driver", or the "To be or not to be" soliloquy in "Hamlet", or "Casablanca" "There are so many towns in the world, and there are so many pubs in them, but she just walked into my house."
The reason is simple. Classics represent resonance and familiarity.
If you perform a role that no one knows about during an audition, it will be difficult to grab the other person's attention, and a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity may be wasted.
But the problem is that classics also represent a fixed impression. All subsequent performances will be compared with the original version. If they are exactly the same, they are considered to have no new ideas, while if they are completely different, they are considered to be crooked. No matter how the performance is performed, it is difficult to break it. The shackles of the original version are lost to everyone.
So, what should we do?
Anson had an idea.
Perhaps, in the limited audition time, the focus is not on showing your line skills, replicating classics, or showing basic skills.
It’s about showing your personality and grabbing the audience’s attention.
Anson is not sure if this idea is correct, but you always have to try it before you know, right?
What if it fails?
If it fails, let Uncle Darren make another call. If you can rely on looks, why rely on strength; if you can take shortcuts, why take the long way around?
Thinking of this, Anson raised his eyes and looked at David, unable to find any trace of nervousness.
