Chapter 224: Competing
Looks don’t lie.
In the applause that was not enthusiastic and slightly hesitant, you could feel the appreciation and affirmation in the exchange of eyes, even with some absurd surprises——
I didn’t expect Kate’s The audition was a complete disaster, and I didn't expect Anson to be able to turn the tide when the opposite actor was completely overwhelmed.
The first shot was fired, and a daunting benchmark was set.
If you want to win the role of Peter Parker, you have to surpass Anson. Obviously, things are not that easy.
H.
The other alternates took a breath and looked at Anson with different eyes again, including the actresses -
Kate, the performance is a disaster , but the point is that the producers and directors did not interrupt filming, and perhaps Anson's performance earned her points.
So now actresses need to be wary of repeating the same mistakes and not rule out Kate. This also means that the opposite actors are particularly important, otherwise there will be a situation where there is no tacit understanding and the performance is not on the same frequency again. , can they still reverse their predicament?
The atmosphere was slightly subtle as they looked at each other.
Especially Kate.
With her head held high, like a proud peacock, she ended her performance and sat down again proudly. The eyes swarming from all directions were all eyes of envy, jealousy and hatred in her eyes. Those people They all tried to defeat her, but she would not bow her head. She would smile and watch them cry.
Here, there is only one small problem -
The female peacock has no tail, so naturally she cannot open her tail. Kate thought she was showing off her charm, but in fact it was just her bare butt.
The lingering rhyme makes shallow ripples.
Anson let out a long breath, turned around and returned to his seat. Then he saw a smile appear in James Franco's eyes. Although he was not as noisy as usual, he secretly raised his right hand and placed it on the armrest of the seat. He stood up, waiting for Anson to give him a high-five to celebrate, and quietly gave a thumbs up.
Then.
Ian did not pause, "Very good, next group, who is ready?"
Different from the first group, this time it is not a roll call, but signing up by yourself, but before With Anson, if he appears now, will he be completely reduced to cannon fodder?
The same goes for the actresses. It seemed like an opportunity to appear after Kate, but it was definitely not a trap. Instead, they were involved in the negative impact of Kate's bad impression, so that the producer and director were dissatisfied with everyone. The result was good. Maybe there are a lot of criticisms to be made about his performance?
For just a brief moment, the air condensed slightly.
Ian was quite surprised——
He admitted that he chose Anson and Kate to appear as the first group because of his selfish motives.
In Ian's conception, Anson and Kate were the first choices for the two roles. He hoped that they would strike first and leave a deep impression.
As a result, Kate overturned, but unexpectedly achieved Anson's shining moment. This can be regarded as a loss and a gain.
Ian did not intend to stick to his opinion, and it had to be Kate. This meant that the competition for the role of Mary Jane was reopened, so he was willing to open up the possibility and look at the auditions of other actors, but he did not expect that, One or two of them looked timid, as if they were shocked.
A smile creeps up to the corners of your mouth.
"Hey guys, Anson is not Jack Lemmon, there is no need to be so dull."
A joke.
At the just-concluded 52nd Emmy Awards ceremony, legendary actor Jack Lemmon won the Best Actor in a Television Movie/Miniseries category. The legend is still a legend. In an uproar of news, Jack Lemmon It still occupies an important page and received a round of applause.
This is also why Ian is so teasing.
"In fact, if it is really Jack..."
Ian looked at Anson.
Ansen understood, spread his hands and showed a smile, "Why are you so serious?"
Without waiting for Ian to respond, Sam said silently, "That's DC's line." One second, two seconds -
Hilarious.
Not only Ian, but Laura also couldn't hold back. She turned forward and backward, looked at the innocent Anson and joked, "Didn't you say you don't read comics?"
Anson said: Unjust!
He didn't answer the relevant questions last time because he knew that his answer would definitely not satisfy Sam. Obviously he was not familiar with Marvel, and DC was another story. As a result... he was still exposed today?
Anson raised his right index finger and put it on his lips, "Shh."
Haha.
The laughter became more rampant, including Sam's.
Sam immediately understood that the reason why Anson didn’t answer the question last time was here; but because of this small detail, Sam fell in love with Anson——
Very unexpected and very sudden, right?
But Sam’s character is like this, and he doesn’t play by the rules, so he made a work that was heavy-tasting and full of spoofs like "The Evil Dead".
In Sam's opinion, Anson's sincerity, calmness and frankness are really valuable. In the same audition, he tried his best to meet the requirements of the role while completely maintaining his own color and personality.
Anson has never shied away from the fact that his appearance may not be the most suitable candidate for Peter Parker, but he cleverly turns his appearance disadvantages into advantages, and his wonderful sense of humor is the icing on the cake.
Up to this moment, Sam really saw Peter Parker in Anson. The original image in his mind that was born out of the comics gradually faded and disappeared, and he created a new image based on Anson, with inspiration flowing like a volcano. The constant eruptions made Sam fall into his thoughts.
Of course, no one else noticed because Sam still had his usual expression.
James Franco was slightly hesitant -
He liked Anson and sincerely applauded Anson's performance just now, but he still believed that he was the most correct for Peter Parker. choose.
What he was hesitating about was whether he should follow Anson on the stage?
Looking at the atmosphere in front of us, it is increasingly tilted towards Anson. Does this mean that the later he comes on stage, the more pressure he will have to bear?
After a short struggle, the lawlessness in James' bones awakened again. He took a deep breath and stood up amidst the joy and noise of the audience.
"I'm willing to try."
After saying that, James opened his eyes, glanced down at Anson, and then saw Anson giving him two thumbs up and clenching his fists to cheer him on. ——
Competition is indeed competition, but it is not a fight to the death, but an upright competition.
James smiled at Anson and became more determined, "James Franco, I'm ready."
Before Ian could speak, two actresses stood up next to them, one behind the other, their voices overlapping with the slightest difference.
“I’m ready.”
“I can give it a try.”
Alicia Witt and Alisa Dushku exchanged a quick glance , unlike the boys, there was some sparks and friction between them.
But they didn’t stop. Both of them looked at Ian, showing confidence with their eyes.
Ian welcomed, "Very good, we now have volunteers, let's start with James and...Alicia."
Alicia secretly clenched her fists and stepped forward with her head held high.
Alyssa stood there with a sad expression on her face. She looked away, only to see Anson looking over. A warm and bright smile wrapped her heart that was slowly sinking and losing hope, and then the world It gradually became brighter.
Fifth update.
