Chapter 101 Believe in Hope
Nineteen-year-old Hayden is indeed handsome.
Like a beautiful boy who came out of ancient Greek mythology, his handsome face is mixed with innocence and melancholy, and a bright smile always hangs on the corner of his mouth; however, Hayden, whose personality is as clean as the sky, is slightly Behind the shy smile can reveal a completely different dark temperament.
According to rumors, in order to select the male lead, the crew of "Star Wars: Episode I" auditioned more than 1,500 young male actors; and it was not the type of eliminating options just by looking at photos, all the actors were paired up in person After a face-to-face audition, he finally decided on the male lead in the series of movies.
——Hayden Christensen.
In terms of appearance and temperament, Hayden does perfectly fit the image of Anakin Skywalker.
Unfortunately, after the movie was released, Hayden was criticized for his poor acting skills and stiff expression; but there is one thing to say, Hayden's facial paralysis is an undeniable fact, and the poor reputation of the movie series cannot be passed on to the blame. The same is true for Hayden, and the two things should not be conflated.
“All good things come in hard times.”
Seeing James and Chris shift focus, Anson brought the topic back again, looked at Hayden, showed a smile, and gave him courage.
"James is right."
"There are countless audition news in Hollywood. Nine times out of ten, those rumors are unbelievable. There is no need to scare yourself just because of the slightest disturbance."
After a pause, Anson spread his hands.
“Hey, Hayden, you should realize that the more this happens, the bigger and more important the project is, and it may even be an annual blockbuster for the studio.”
"You didn't know anything about the actual content of the movie until now, right?"
Hayden nodded in affirmation——
"Star Wars Prequel" has been kept secret so far, and no news has been leaked to Hollywood.
“Perhaps, this is a brand new series of movies. Once you take on the leading role, it will be not just one, but two, three or even more series of movies.”
“Let’s look at it from another angle. Look, Hayden, you don't know anything about the project until now, but you have been in New York for a month, gone through so many rounds of auditions, met with the audition director, met with the producer, met with the screenwriter, who knows, maybe The director is also watching your audition in a corner. "
"This action itself is meaningful."
"Let me guess."
"The waiting now is precisely the last moment before dawn."
Sincerity, straightforwardness, and enthusiasm.
Anson seems to have the ability to look directly into the other person's eyes and say a simple word, but people can't help but feel excited, and then, uncontrollably want to believe Anson's words. .
James' head was full of question marks, "So, you are saying that this is actually a good thing?"
Anson blinked his eyes, "I mean, even though things are still full of suspense, But it could be a wait for something good, or it could be a test for greater success, and maybe Hayden just needs some confidence.”
Then, Anson looked at Hayden and said, "I believe you."
Chris:...
James:...
Hayden was also confused and was beaten by Anson. The words were so confusing that he nodded blankly and clenched his fists in celebration in confusion.
James finally came to his senses, "I think you are deceiving us, but I have no evidence. Brothers, I think Anson seems to have joined the shoe cult."
In the second half of the sentence, he turned to look at Chris and Hayden and sent out a distress signal.
But, those eyes, that expression... coupled with the whole atmosphere in front of me.
Chris burst out laughing and sprayed saliva all over James' face. James closed his eyes in despair and spoke silently with his expression, which made Chris laugh even more crazily.
"Sorry, haha, James, hahahaha..."
Can't stop at all. Hayden couldn't help but laugh, and he couldn't control it despite all his strength. He hurried back to the living room, ran back with a whole box of tissue paper, pulled out two papers and handed them to James, with a smile on his face.
James wiped his face silently.
Then.
Hayden looked at Anson. He had already said "thank you" to his lips, but felt that it was too light to express his feelings, so he swallowed it. In the end, he just showed a shy smile to Anson.
James finally opened his eyes again, glared at Chris silently, raised his hand and was about to launch an attack, but looked at Chris' muscles, then at his own body, and looked up helplessly. Look up to the sky.
This action made Anson and the others laugh even louder.
James noticed that Hayden's expression became relaxed and he felt a little relieved before he spoke, "I didn't want to say it originally, but since Anson shared it, maybe now is the opportunity to share it. In fact, I also..."
All eyes were focused on James.
In a rare moment, James was a little shy, "Remember the limited series audition I told you about last time? I didn't have any hopes because the competition was really fierce, but."
“I won the role.”
Chris exclaimed, "Yeah!"
Seeing that the cheers and celebrations were about to begin, James quickly opened his mouth to complete the additional explanation, "It is a biographical limited series, and I will play James Dean. .”
James Dean?
A legend of the Hollywood generation, known as the representative of the "Beat Generation". Because of his untimely death, he has become a cultural symbol that represents Hollywood's resistance, rebellion and personality. It still has a strong influence half a century later. The James Dean who became a fashion icon?
For any actor, it is not only an honor to play such a legendary star, but also will win countless spotlights.
There is no doubt that this is the topic.
Looking carefully, I have to say that James Franco can indeed see a little bit of James Dean. This is very important for biographical movies, and it also highlights the preciousness of the opportunity.
"Good job!"
Anson raised his right hand and reached towards James.
No words needed, James also raised his right hand, and the two of them completed a high-five. Then Anson clenched his fist and waved it vigorously to cheer for James.
Obviously, this is very precious and rare, especially after experiencing the "Freaks and Nerds" cut in half, James needs such an opportunity to bring confidence.
However, James has not spoken out, fearing to irritate Hayden; but now it seems that Hayden also needs some good news to stimulate confidence.
In Hollywood, it is daily life to be rejected, denied, and forgotten. If you are rejected a hundred times, a thousand times, no matter how strong your self-confidence or your tenacity, it may be destroyed, so they need some positive advice. Signal, when you believe that hope exists, waiting is effective, and patience can be rewarded, it will gain some strength for you to continue to persist.
Hayden never got any news, and almost thought that he had been forgotten. When he just came back from New York, he was still nervous and a little excited, nervous and excited. However, such emotions will change with time. The passage of time was gradually smoothed out, and the whole person became dim.
However.
First Anson, then James.
Although none of them knew whether these opportunities would bloom, and even though they were all unknown newcomers, at least they saw hope and it was really happening around them, and they couldn't help but feel excited. Get up——
Maybe, the next opportunity will be their turn?
The world becomes brighter like this.
Second update. Additional updates in the evening.
