Chapter 219 Frequency Misalignment
“Anson, Kate, try it out first.”
Ian Bryce is truly experienced and can capture the subtle changes in the atmosphere at a glance. There was a little playfulness in his expression.
Laura Ziskin was no exception. She turned her head and glanced at Ian, her eyes sparkling, and then she interjected.
“Today’s outfit is much inferior. It seems that our styling team has not kept up with current hot topics, and our fashion taste needs to be improved.”
Although there is no subject in this sentence, others can immediately recognize the target of the words, and their eyes are looking at Anson——
Obviously, Laura noticed the Emmy Award.
Others noticed too.
Perhaps, Sam Remy was the only exception. His eyes that were not awake were still blank. He raised his head and looked around, not understanding what Laura meant.
Anson, who inadvertently became the center of attention, did not panic, "Peter is going to find a job, not to participate in New York Fashion Week, so that's good."
Laura still didn't have any special expression changes, but the shallow smile at the corner of her mouth was very relaxed, "How do you know Peter is looking for a job in this scene?"
Sharp, direct, and quick.
Laura showed her professionalism right away. Even Ian and Sam were a little surprised. After thinking about it carefully, they finally understood——
At least, on that page In half of the script, there is no background introduction and no ins and outs.
The subtext is that Anson took the back door and read the script in advance?
Laura's hint was direct and obvious enough. The other competitors, including Kate, all looked at Anson, and the emotions in their eyes changed subtly.
Wait a minute, is Laura helping Anson or destroying Anson?
Anson ignored the gazes of others and remained unmoved. He always looked at Laura with clear and bright eyes. He even ignored the gazes of Ian and Sam. He raised his hand and pointed at his head, "Thinking. Everything is It’s in the lines. We should learn to understand the lines, not just read them openly and aboveboard.
Laura did not speak immediately, but looked at Anson quietly for a moment——
Gary Marshall was full of praise for Anson.
Laura is familiar with Gary, and she can tell that those compliments are not polite words, but sincere sighs, which can't be stopped.
“Understanding the role and interpreting the role are an actor’s talent; and it is an actor’s talent to resonate with the plot through the character and give the director creative inspiration. A talent that is one in a million, Laura, you should know better than me that this talent is the most precious.”
Thoughts surged in her mind, but then stopped, Laura couldn’t help but become curious, and her expectations slowly rose. —
But if Anson fails to live up to expectations, the disappointment will be even more fierce.
Is this a good thing or a bad thing?
At least, the beginning of today’s audition was a little surprise.
Then.
The corners of her mouth raised slightly, and Laura became really interested, "Then, let's see how well you understand the lines."
"How about, get ready. ”
Ian was a little unsure about Laura's attitude, whether she liked Anson or was critical of Anson, but he didn't say anything and just waited and watched.
At the same time, Ian has not forgotten Sam, and sure enough-
"Do you still need to read the lines?"
Sam spoke.
In an instant, all eyes were focused on Kate.
Kate was glaring at Anson.
Things were a mess, the encounter with Anson, the confrontation with Anson, surprises one after another; then the conversation between Anson and Laura raised expectations again, and all kinds of speculations and possibilities surged in the brain. , before I had time to sort it out, the audition was about to begin?
Kate glared at Anson depressingly. They were partners and they needed to at least communicate. Otherwise, how would the rivalry unfold?
Isn’t this basic knowledge?
The next second, Sam's words made everyone's eyes fall hotly and sharply on Kate. Kate was even more panicked. Things shouldn't be like this.
Kate took a deep breath and showed a sweet smile, "Because I didn't discuss it with the co-star, so I'm not sure about the rhythm, so I'm going to use backup."
Sam said "hmm" and then waved his hand, looking nonchalant. , "Just watch it if you want." The core of screen audition lies in practical operation.
In other words, actors need to be on camera. As you can imagine, unscripted performance is the basis. After all, on a real movie set, no actor will stand in front of the camera with a script and act. .
It is precisely because of this that that page of the script was given to the actors in advance. Although it was not stated clearly, this meant that the actors were required to fully understand and recite the lines.
As a result, Kate came on stage with that page of the script, no wonder Sam specially reminded it.
However, an audition is an audition after all, and Sam was not so strict. He said something casually and then drooped his eyelids again and entered the sloth lightning state.
However——
Kate was confused.
The eyes are turbulent, and the six gods have no master.
One wave after another, one accident after another, and the audition had already disrupted the plan before it even started. The emotions that were originally mixed with tension and anticipation were now completely disrupted, and the brain suddenly entered a state of panic. Crash, completely losing the ability to think.
Anson noticed.
The rivalry scene is like this. There are back and forth and mutual cooperation. If one party goes offline, the other party will be left alone.
Kate's personal pet peeves aside, Anson needs Kate to cheer up now and he won't let the on-screen audition in front of him be ruined.
“Hey, look at me.”
Anson called in a low voice, and Kate subconsciously looked up.
"This is just a performance. Compared with real-time performance, it is nothing at all."
"Ignore the lines, ignore the performance, just get into the emotion."
"Are you panicking, nervous, trying to hide yourself now? That's good, because Mary-Jane is too. Just remember this emotion, and then get into the role."
Kate nodded confusedly.
"Look at me, look into my eyes, believe me, you can do it. Okay?"
Deep but clear, bright and firm, the chaotic emotions in Kate's mind are just looking at those eyes He calmed down and found his peace.
This is not easy, but don’t forget that this is not Kate’s first time acting.
Then, Kate looked at Anson, took two deep breaths, nodded and replied affirmatively, "I'm ready."
Anson gestured with his eyes and quickly explained the scene, " You turn your back to me, I call you, you turn back, and we start talking.”
Kate herself didn't realize it. She didn't have the usual princess temper at all. She obeyed the command obediently, turned around, and signaled that she was in place.
The entire audience was quiet. Not only the interviewers in front, but also the other competitors all looked over -
James felt a little strange, looking at his usual friend standing in front of him. The performance suddenly seemed like a different person.
It’s funny and embarrassing, my hands and feet are curled up.
Maybe, this is why Anson turned his back to them?
"Hey, Mary Jane, it's me, Peter."
Anson spoke up—
The show began.
But it was just the first line, and the mood was wrong.
Logically speaking, Mary Jane should be trying to leave quickly. She didn’t want to see anyone. As a result, Peter Parker caught up with her, so when Mary Jane saw Peter, she panicked again. And joy, this is a mixed emotion.
However, Kate didn't catch it.
Fifth update.
