Chapter 98 The first starring role
There is a misunderstanding in Hollywood that vases do not require acting skills, as long as they look good; but in fact, there are good and bad vases.
A good vase also requires acting skills to show the charm just right and fit the plot; an excellent vase can even create additional attractions in conjunction with the plot, becoming the icing on the cake and giving the movie an extra dimension beyond the script. The charm of the image brings the audience completely into the movie.
Vase, not just anyone can do it.
Now, Gary needs Anson to show off his acting skills——
Then.
Gary saw the young man in front of him. His eyes were lowered. He adjusted them slightly. When he raised his eyes again, the light disappeared. His jaw was slightly tightened, and his eyes drooped about fifteen degrees. Originally, Anson liked to look at each other's eyes levelly, but now they are slightly staggered. The eye contact bond between the two parties has formed a misalignment, and the entire temperament has changed.
What’s more, the strange thing is that there are no negative emotions, just low-key, reserved and calm, with a faint hint of fatigue.
Tired?
Is this normal?
But there is no doubt that Anson is still the same Anson, but without any sparkle.
Of course the facial features are still beautiful, but such beauty is like a two-dimensional piece of paper, without life, color or hierarchy.
There are countless handsome guys like this in Hollywood. Occasionally, if you scan it in a hurry, you may pause for a moment to look at it, but you will not want to take a second look. If you turn around, you may completely forget it, because the whole of Hollywood is the least What is lacking is handsome men and beautiful women, so there is really no need to care too much.
Anson, sitting right in front of him, became mediocre and lost his sense of surprise. He lowered his head and raised his head, but they were completely different.
Is this really possible?
Even though everything was happening right in front of his eyes, Gary still felt surprised and unexpected.
It’s not that his acting skills are great, the main thing is that Gary has no expectations for Anson at all. The image of a handsome guy is directly equated with a vase, an idol, and no acting skills, forming a stereotype. Then, without warning, I saw this scene.
That’s a surprise.
Gary looked at Marcia in astonishment, and then he also found amusement in Marcia's eyes, looking at her carefully with a meaningful expression.
Marcia noticed Gary's gaze, turned her head and looked over, showed a smile, and lightly shrugged. That expression and gesture couldn't be more clear——
up to you.
Marcia was a little proud, but she thought she was worth it.
When I saw the photo in "GQ", I was instantly amazed, but if I say I saw infinite possibilities, it is 100% a lie. Marcia mainly saw Anson's aura of breaking free from restraints and breaking the frame, with his suit and skateboard shoes. The combination is contradictory yet natural, and it fits the character somewhat.
With no better option, Marcia came with the magazine.
Actually, Marcia herself did not investigate deeply and lacked confidence. She just grabbed a life-saving straw and asked Gary to perform the ceremony. She was still working hard and still trying. Even if Gary was not satisfied, at least he was not satisfied. Necessity kept urging, buying time for Marcia to find other candidates.
As a result, there was an unexpected gain.
There is only one explanation for this -
Intuition.
Marcia thought that her intuition was indeed correct, and the facts once again proved her ability and her discerning eye.
But facing Gary, Marcia didn't say much, just stop there. Anyway, the results of her work have been displayed, and the rest will be left to Gary.
The decision-making power still lies with Gary.
However, now is slightly different from before. Marcia is confident, so there is no anxiety or impatience at this time.
Looking like Jiang Taigong fishing, he stopped swearing, straightened his back, and raised the corners of his mouth.
Situation, how interesting.
Gary could see Marcia's confidence. He didn't say anything more and looked at Anson again.
Reason has been applying the brakes, warning myself not to act too hastily and not to judge. Now even the heroine has only reached the stage of choosing one of the two. They are still waiting for further discussion to make a decision. The hero also has time, allowing Marcia to continue to explore different Possibility, open possibility.
It’s not necessary to decide in one audition, really not.
And. Even if the final decision is Anson, there is no need to decide in person.
In Hollywood, the normal process should be that they let the actors go back, put on airs, put on the stage, wait for some time, and then notify the actor's agent, issue a formal invitation, and go through the agent Even if the actor does not have an agent, the actor will be notified directly.
These processes are a habit.
No need to rush.
However, the voice in the back of my mind couldn't stop:
It's him.
Gary, that's him.
If you miss it, you will regret it. Do you remember Julia? It's the same situation now, okay, maybe it's not the same, the two actors and the two movies are still different, but you still won't want to miss it.
That kind of impulse is ready to take action again after ten years, exactly ten years.
Actually, Gary has always been a character with more emotions than reason. Even at the age of sixty-six, he still has a fiery temper. He rushed into the office like a storm and severely scolded Marcia, and then continued I rushed out like a storm and couldn't remember it after I vented my emotions.
I would rather wrong others, but never wrong myself.
This is Gary's motto. He has always been like this after living in Hollywood for so many years.
Then.
Lifting his eyes, Gary looked at Anson——
The Anson in front of him has returned to his original state, without hiding or restraining himself, sitting quietly in front of him, as if he had just brought a skateboard with him It's the same as when he appeared.
The words rushed out like this, "Anson, are you willing to join us?"
Marcia was slightly stunned and went straight to the topic?
Anson was also very surprised.
Looking at James and Hayden, auditions often require a period of waiting before the results are known, ranging from three to five days to one or two months; and if rejected, most of the time there will be no follow-up. There is no news, so waiting is also an important lesson in Hollywood.
But in front of me?
The audition was very, very anxious, and he came before he even had time to change clothes.
As a result, I was equally anxious. The result of the conversation had just come out?
So, is Gary the Lightning from "Zootopia"?
Originally, Anson was thinking of joking, "Sorry, I need to confirm the schedule with my agent," but now he was stuck because it was too unexpected.
Stuck?
This is quite rare, Anson thought.
"Oh, I got the role?" The words blurted out, and a smile already appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Can I ask about the work we are discussing?"
"Uh, is this a normal process? Or do we need to keep our work confidential?"
One second, two seconds -
Marcia couldn't hold it back, she burst out laughing. , patting the thigh continuously.
The same goes for Gary.
He liked Anson's reaction. The more he read, the more he liked it, and the more he read, the more suitable he became. "'Princess Diary,' the work I am preparing, is adapted from a novel. The novel is not yet on the market. It should be released in August. Or released in September ”
"I invite you to play the role of the male protagonist Michael, not just any passerby. Please rest assured. How about it? Are you still interested?"
Anson raised his chin slightly, showing a thoughtful look. The expression, "Well... I may need to seriously consider it."
Fourth update.
