Chapter 96 Retro Style
The audition has started from the moment you appear on the stage.
Marcia is thinking.
Gary is also thinking.
Perhaps, the most relaxed and comfortable person in this room is Anson——
Soldiers will come to block it, water will come and earth will cover it.
While Marcia was thinking, Gary's voice came to her ears. Apparently, he was also considering the same issue and trying to find an entry point.
“Besides skateboarding, what other sports do you like?”
In people’s common impression, auditions are about showing yourself and testing your acting skills. Of course, this is indeed the case. The core of the audition; but there is another situation, through conversation, to understand the charm of the actor through dialogue, and to discover the spark between the actor and the character.
From the last "Friends" to the opportunity before me, it happens to be the latter.
"Basketball. Swimming. A little martial arts. Also, I've always wanted to try surfing." Anson wasn't nervous. He felt much more comfortable after experiencing it once.
Gary raised his chin slightly, "What about others? What are your other hobbies?"
"Painting. Reading." Anson lightly shrugged, showing a self-deprecating smile, "If you need, I can continue to count slowly. Haha, I am a typical three-minute enthusiastic person. I like different attempts, but I am not good at them all. My mother doesn't like me giving up halfway. She said now, maybe I am an actor. It’s also a matter of three minutes.”
Half truth and half lie.
The first half is about his situation; the second half is about the original owner.
Gary showed a hint of interest, "So, you still think performing is interesting?"
Anson looked down at the non-existent watch on his wrist with a serious face, "At this moment, it is true. "
"Haha." Gary laughed directly, "But it's not a good thing to be good at everything."
"I can try if I need to. If you explore further on the existing basis, you may be able to discover new fun. I believe that experience and experimentation are a way of life. "Anson opens up possibilities, and there is no need to be restrained in his second life. .
Gary raised his chin slightly, showing a hint of interest, "For ordinary people, this is not a good thing; but from another perspective, for actors, this is an advantage. Because an actor’s job is to try different lives and continue to create possibilities in his own abilities.”
This is a completely new perspective.
Anson smiled and said, "Perhaps being an actor is my destiny? A natural actor?"
"Ha." Gary laughed, with a meaningful look in his eyes, "We You will find out gradually. So, what about music? Are you interested?"
Anson blinked——
Michael.
He knew the role he was auditioning for.
"The Princess Diaries" is adapted from the novel. In the original novel, Michael, who has a crush on Mia, has a band and serves as the lead singer of the band.
In a previous life, this role was played by Robert-Schwartzman. His mother came from the famous Coppola family in Hollywood. "The Godfather" director Francis Ford Coppola -Ford-Coppola, Nicolas-Cage is his uncle.
However, "The Princess Diaries" was the only mainstream movie that Robert starred in, because he was passionate about music and had his own independent band. After finishing the movie, he went on tour with his own independent band and started his own career, and never had any roles in any movies.
Now, Anson is auditioning for this role.
Anson has some uncertain situations:
Robert has not auditioned yet, and his audition is just a trial and error between Marcia and Gary on the road to Robert; or Robert has already auditioned, but because of his arrival, The butterfly effect occurs, and time and space deviate from the track at this fork in the road, heading towards another parallel universe.
However.
Anson had his own ideas. The first movie and the first opportunity to be the leading actor came faster than expected, but since the opportunity had come to him, he had no reason to miss it.
“Guitar.” Anson remained honest, “I once taught myself guitar at home for two months, and I believe it can be a weapon to attract girls.”
"Ha." Gary laughed again, "Believe me, you can do it without a guitar." Anson spread his hands, "Mr. Marshall, you should see the recklessness of teenagers, the weird hairstyle, and the inability to get rid of it. With acne and weird outfits, while the girls are screaming for the quarterback, we are still angry about why we don’t get attention. ”
“ Haha." Hilarious, "Hahaha." Gary was even willing to clap for Anson.
Marcia was no exception. She shook her head slightly, but the smile at the corner of her mouth still rose, "Hey, man, you are still a teenager now."
The corners of Anson's mouth tightened slightly, "Ah. , I always forget about this.”
He means it.
But—
Poof.
After Gary, Marcia was not able to control herself from laughing after all. That coolness, ease, and calmness really made people feel very comfortable. Quietly, Marcia also liked it. Got on Anson.
Perhaps, Anson’s charm can indeed conquer the audience on the big screen.
Then, an idea flashed through Marcia's brain and she was firmly grasped.
“Wait a minute.”
“Wait a minute!”
“Anson, what hairstyle have you ever tried?”
Gary and Anson both Look at Marcia.
Anson didn't know their entanglement, and naturally had no way of knowing Marcia's current inspiration. He raised his eyebrows slightly, but did not answer directly, "A series of tragedies."
Marcia didn't care, because her The point is not originally Anson's answer, it is just a transition to elicit inspiration, "Have you tried John-Lennon's (John-Lennon) hair style?"
John Lennon?
Anson could not react, when did John Lennon become a fashion icon?
But Gary had experienced that era and immediately understood what Marcia meant, "You mean the Beatles Jarhead?"
In the 1960s, the Beatles traveled across the ocean and came to the United States to develop, setting off a craze not only for their music, but also their fashion styles. Countless young people imitated their styles and outfits——
Jijad. Bell bottoms. pullover.
Blah blah blah.
That was when Gary was young, and he also tried the Beatles' looks. Even now, many influences of the Beatles can still be seen in the younger generation.
Marcia nodded, "Michael is a member of the band. We can definitely define him as British rock and roll, and he advocates the retro style of the 1960s, with a pot head, a suit with bell-bottoms, and a Guitar or carrying 'Ulysses' in his arms on campus."
"In the eyes of others, he is just a freak, an outlier, and they will not notice him at all."
"Furthermore, Jarhead has an advantage. Cover your eyes. If you can't see your eyes, a A person's charm will be greatly reduced, which is also a hiding method."
As he spoke, Marcia became excited and the whole idea was completely understood.
“When other high school students judge people by their appearance, they don’t bother to pay attention to Michael at all, but Mia knows Michael’s talent. She is also obsessed with those handsome guys like a young girl, but she is severely stumbled by accidents. After a somersault, I realized that talent is more valuable than appearance."
"But I didn't expect..."
Second update. Additional updates in the evening.
