Chapter 171 Self-destruction of the future
"Agent, just wait here. There are agents from the Screen Actors Guild to protect the rights of actors. You can wait in the reception room with confidence. After the audition, the actors will naturally Come and meet in the reception room.”
Smiling, but distant, with a businesslike and professional attitude.
Sony Columbia's secretary has obviously dealt with countless similar situations. His words were organized naturally without going through his brain, and he took control of the situation before Edgar opened his mouth.
It can be seen from the expression of this lady with a high ponytail that she doesn't mind how famous her agent is. Anyway, everyone is treated equally in front of her, and she has already drawn the line before the agent introduces himself.
The subtext is: shut up.
Edgar was not surprised. This was also the difference between the production company auditioning in person and the casting company assisting in auditioning, so he had no intention of arguing.
What's more, Edgar believes in Anson.
So, Edgar just gave Anson a look, cheered secretly, and then motioned for Anson to set off. That chic gesture surprised the woman with the high ponytail, and she slightly raised her eyes and glanced at Anson.
“That’s it?”
Anson looks like a nerd -
A white T-shirt, a blue plaid shirt, a dark gray hooded T-shirt, paired with dark blue jeans, layered on top of each other, to fully arm himself.
Behind him, he was carrying a large black waterproof bag. Although there was no way to judge the contents, the bulging shape looked a bit heavy; more importantly, there was a bracket hanging on the back. skateboard.
Of course, the pair of black-rimmed glasses on the bridge of the nose also played a role that cannot be ignored, blocking Anson's bright blue eyes, making his whole person look gray; his slightly messy hair It even adds to the impression of being an otaku, with a sense of bulkiness all over the body.
What the woman with the high ponytail means: Are you sure Anson doesn’t need to hand over the backpack to the agent?
The woman with the high ponytail is well-informed. She knows that actors will do anything to succeed in the audition. There are countless colorful costumes and fancy ideas. Among those shocking costumes, Anson can only say that they are just behaving and are not worth mentioning. This is not her surprise. reason.
But... why is this so?
Other actors came to audition, and one or two tried their best to show their handsomeness. After all, this is a superhero, even if Sony Columbia hopes to distinguish it from the image of Christopher Reeve, this is no secret. But after all, superheroes still need charm, right?
Otherwise, how to attract audiences on the big screen?
So, one or two of the actors who came to audition were trying to show off their handsomeness in a low-key way, but what was going on with the actor in front of him?
Looking around, it was gray and lackluster. He was instantly overshadowed by the brilliance of other actors, and it was impossible to notice that he ever existed.
Are you sure you want this?
That’s why she asked.
Edgar's voice cut in, "Yes, that's it."
Actually, Edgar was not 100% sure, but he believed Anson.
He has his major, and Anson has his major. They respect each other's majors. Only in this way can they achieve their goals through tacit cooperation.
The woman with the high ponytail glanced at Edgar, then at Anson, and said nothing more. Anyway, it was not her fault that they were going to destroy their future. Being smart like this ended up digging a hole for themselves. The auditions are staged every three to five, and it seems that this is the share this week.
Without saying anything more, she withdrew her gaze and turned around to lead the way without saying a word. Anson followed her and walked towards the corridor.
After turning a corner, the dark green and dark brown carpet extends under the feet, and then you can see a series of chairs arranged on the wall on the left, and at the end of the chairs is a door. At this time Close tightly.
It seems that that is the magic room, where the audition will take place. The air is quiet and tight. The sound of advancing footsteps is completely swallowed up by the carpet. Only a slight muffled sound surges at the soles of the feet. The quiet atmosphere makes the heart beat significantly faster. It was only a little nervous at first, but now it has doubled. As it rises, I feel like I'm going to vomit.
Anson's arrival attracted the attention of the candidates sitting on the chairs. When Anson was looking at them, they were also looking at him.
——No James Franco.
Things are consistent with Edgar’s information. The auditions of the first batch of actors, including James, have ended, and now Anson and the others are in the second batch.
But for now, there is no way to know the feedback of the first batch of auditions. Maybe the second batch is the audition that should be held in the plan. Maybe the first batch is not satisfactory and the second batch is temporarily added. Second batch of auditions.
Then, Anson saw Scott Speedman.
Scott, like Chris Evans, is a standard sports handsome guy. Because he has a swimming background, he has excellent body proportions. His youthful look of a white T-shirt paired with jeans also fully displays his sunny temperament.
And what’s a little special is that there is a little melancholy between his eyebrows. When mixed together, they form a special contradictory temperament.
Scott also noticed Anson -
He was a little unsure, is this... really Anson?
It has to be said that the eyes are indeed the windows to the soul. Wearing glasses and not wearing glasses cannot be said to be completely different, but the temperament does change. The brilliance and expression of the eyes are all separated by a layer of fogged glass, so that he cannot Absolutely sure, that's the guy from the coffee shop.
Involuntarily, Scott glanced at Anson twice -
He was sizing up Anson, but also testing Anson.
But Anson’s gaze did not linger in particular, as if he had just met for the first time at this moment, he treated all the actors waiting at the door equally, nodded his head in a natural manner, and then sat down.
Scott felt a little relieved. Maybe the chance encounter in the coffee shop just now was indeed a coincidence. After all, Anson didn't talk to Sam at all, right?
There were four people sitting at the door. Anson was the last one to arrive, but this was not late. There were still ten minutes before the appointed audition time.
Obviously, they were all waiting.
Anson breathed a sigh of relief. The small episode in the morning made him realize that he needed to make adjustments, and he made a temporary decision to go to the library. When he was waiting to leave for Sony Columbia, he was already in a hurry. In order to avoid The bad traffic in New York became an obstacle to arriving on time, so Anson simply used the trunk as a dressing room to complete the dressing work.
Fortunately, they managed to catch up.
The woman with the high ponytail was not surprised, "The audition time is still as planned."
They won't start auditions early just because the candidates arrive early. In fact, none of the producers and directors have arrived.
After saying that, the woman with the high ponytail turned and left.
At this time, Anson breathed a sigh of relief. This morning was busy enough——
To be precise, from yesterday to today, everything was running at double speed.
Then, Anson finally had time to look at the other competitors with his peripheral vision. Although Edgar had already informed the list, the names and faces could only match up now. Coupled with the memories of his previous life, it felt a bit... subtle.
Second update.
