Chapter 95 The Commoner Prince
When he just flipped through "GQ", Gary had a positive premonition, but he was not sure, because flat photography is often confusing, leaving aside post-retouching, the photographer It may just be a moment captured, but such a moment is not enough to shine on the big screen.
Countless top models have tried to seek development in movies. They did not ask for acting skills, even just appearing as a vase, but the results were disappointing, like Kim-Basinger. After all, special cases are in the minority, one in a million.
And.
The entire film industry knows that not everyone is suitable for the big screen. It does not mean whether they are good-looking or handsome, but it is a kind of temperament.
Some people are born for the big screen. They may not be able to notice it in real life, but the camera lens captures their eyes and postures and projects them on the big screen. Every move, every smile can affect the hearts of the audience, and let the cinema Be their world.
And some people, no matter how good-looking or handsome they are, cannot release any appeal on the big screen. Perhaps the increasingly developed plastic surgery techniques allow everyone to "fabricate" their facial features that they are satisfied with. However, There is nothing you can do about the innate temperament. If you don't have it, you don't have it.
This is talent.
Things are not fair, but this is the reality.
Gary knew this clearly——
Julia Roberts, in terms of facial features and appearance, is not considered the best among the countless handsome men and beauties in Hollywood. Some people like her big mouth and some people don't like her. However, when she appears on the big screen, the amorous feelings she shows in her every move are and aura, but it is impossible to ignore.
This charm is the key to becoming a superstar.
So, although the magazine was good, Gary didn't show it, he just gave Anson a chance, and he still needed to see it with his own eyes.
However.
Now Gary is finally sure, one face-to-face meeting is enough.
He likes his skateboard, he likes his sweating, and he likes his unmodified truth, like a jade in the rough, waiting to be carved, the handsomeness exuding from his whole body, with the vigor and vitality of youth, from his eyes to his smile They all have a pure and complex charm.
Vivid and real.
That's him.
Gary thought.
Involuntarily and uncontrollably, Gary became a little excited, because the excitement of discovering treasures was like seeing Julia Roberts back then, the kind of qualities that are waiting to be polished and carved but can shine brightly. He couldn't wait to capture it with his camera.
It was like being electrocuted, and he was shaking slightly uncontrollably.
But on the surface, Gary didn't show it, or in other words, he was convincing himself to stay calm and avoid ignoring problems due to impulsiveness.
He also needs to face other issues.
Although Gary liked the big boy in front of him very much, to be honest, he was too handsome and did not meet the needs of the character in the movie.
The character is called Michael.
A bit nerdy, a bit introverted, a bit shy, and not conspicuous in school, he has always had a crush on his sister's friend Mia, but he didn't dare to confess.
Such a character is somewhat similar to Mia. They need to look ordinary. In school, no one cares about marginalized characters who are completely ignored. Of course, the crew can accomplish this through costume modeling. A little; then after dressing up, they will complete the transformation and surprise everyone, just like a "beautiful woman".
But...
The boy in front of me doesn't look like a fringe figure in middle school. If he were a prominent figure like the captain of the basketball team, he would be more or less the same.
Things are back to where they started.
Marcia has auditioned a number of actors before, including many handsome guys, but none of those actors were able to impress Gary, because what he needs is not just a handsome actor, but a young man with different temperaments who can show different looks. , a sense of contradiction.
Gary rejected Marcia's recommendations one after another, and now Anson is facing the same problem.
So, what to do?
Continue to reject it?
No, this time, Gary was not going to do that. The steady flow of inspiration made him calm down, and his brain was running at high speed, looking for solutions.
"Please sit down, I'm Gary." Gary introduced himself.
Marcia observed Gary's face and felt a little relieved, "Gary Marshall, director."
Anson paused for a moment while he was sitting down.
Gary noticed, "What, you know me?"
Anson laughed directly, "It's strange that we don't know each other."
Gary liked this answer. It was obviously flattering but not flattering at all. "Haha, it seems that my director career has left some traces. Well."
Some?
More than that!
If nothing else, just digging out the two actors Julia Roberts and Anne Hathaway is enough for people to remember Gary.
Wait, Anne Hathaway——
Anson reacted immediately.
"Princess Diaries", the work he is auditioning for at this time should be Anne Hathaway's famous work.
In 2001, the unknown Anne Hathaway had never appeared in a movie before, let alone a leading role, although she had already appeared in stage plays and had a chance to perform in a TV series.
Then she made her career debut on the big screen through the movie "Princess Diaries", playing the role of Mia, a high school student who jumped from an ordinary girl to a princess of a country, and became an instant hit. Red, became the successor of America's sweetheart.
Unexpectedly, Anson now also has the opportunity to be a part of this movie——
The big screen debut, is this coming?
So, which role is Anson auditioning for now?
In "Princess Diaries", there are two main characters, one is responsible for secretly falling in love with Mia, and the other is responsible for being secretly loved by Mia.
But there is too little information now, and Anson cannot judge for the time being.
Marcia immediately noticed Gary's state. There was no irritability, anxiety, or eagerness before. Instead, a smile gently appeared on his lips. The atmosphere of the entire audition was completely different, sending out a positive signal.
Huh.
Marcia also breathed a sigh of relief. It would be great if the matter could be solved. Only then did she look at Anson and regain her expertise.
Then, Marcia also realized the problem -
Anson was neither an otaku nor a fringe at all.
Moreover, there are two main male characters in the movie. At first, Mia had a crush on the handsome guy in school, but she did not expect that the other person just wanted to use Mia to create a topic to hype herself up; only later did Mia notice Michael has always been by his side silently.
But if Anson plays Michael, as long as Mia is not blind, it is impossible for her to have a crush on anyone else.
Actually, if you think about it carefully, Gary’s idea of choosing the two characters of Mia and Michael is essentially the same. One is a commoner princess and the other is a commoner prince. Both characters are from ordinary people. The identity of an ordinary high school student has been transformed, realizing the dream of every ordinary audience member’s self-transformation.
Therefore, the difficulty of choosing a male protagonist is no less difficult than that of a female protagonist.
Looking at Anson in front of her, Marcia’s temples began to beat faintly again.
what to do?
First update.
