Chapter 223 Setting the Benchmark
Anson admitted that he was caught off guard when he was killed -
Inexperienced.
Whether it's acting or auditioning, he only has so much limited experience, and there are still too few unexpected situations. The best situations like Kate's are even rarer.
Looking back and smiling?
Look back and smile!
How can Mary Jane still have the time to look back and smile at Bai Meisheng? The mood and context of the entire scene were all wrong, and so wrong.
Seeing that the end was about to come to an end, Anson was already in trouble. The finish line was close at hand. He breathed a sigh of relief, but he did not expect that Kate still had a carbine.
——Too careless.
Anson was extremely panicked.
But on the surface, Anson still stands firm and is not completely out of control.
Since the rhythm has been messed up, Anson simply went along with the flow and remained silent. He didn't rush to speak. He just stood quietly and stared at Kate's back, letting the embarrassment and silence fill the space, and his emotions slowed down.
Silence, quietness, embarrassment.
Not only James Franco, but also Sam and Laura did not expect that there would be a twist here. They originally thought that the audition was over, but now there is a twist. This is like a surprise in a brain-burning movie.
Actually, Peter still has one line, which was not explained in this scene. Could it be that Anson was influenced by Kate and also forgot his lines? In the front was Kate and now is Anson. Is there another intertext in this screen audition?
The air gradually solidified.
Then.
Sam noticed Anson's expression——
He hesitated to speak, worrying about gain and loss.
At this moment, Peter is no longer Spider-Man, and has returned to middle school like Mary Jane. The moment he sees Mary Jane's smile, he falls in love again and stands there. Mary Jane became incoherent and confused in front of him, and those nervousness and stuttering were all on his mind.
pretty!
It turns out that silence is not just silence, but also has this meaning behind it.
Anson once again saved the scene and continued the emotion amid the chaos, which made Sam raise his eyes and lock them firmly on Anson.
Sam was a little curious whether Anson could handle such a change.
Actually, the last audition was the scene where Peter Parker secretly confessed to Mary Jane. Anson handled it very beautifully; but now it was slightly different. Peter Parker did not confess, but it was better than confessing. After carefully revealing his unconditional support for Mary Jane, how does Peter hide his secret feelings?
"Uh... Ma..."
Peter Parker spoke, trying to call Mary Jane, but found that his throat was a little dry. He blinked repeatedly, showing obvious nervousness.
The subject changed quickly.
"Come for lunch one night."
Kate stopped. She was a little depressed and had been waiting for Anson's lines. If Anson didn't speak, she would almost be out of the camera. .
Turning around, Kate saw Anson biting his tongue. Before she had time to think, Kate reflexively laughed out loud.
At this moment, Kate remembered——
Lunch at night? Is this serious?
Peter was very panicked and quickly forced out a smile to cover up his embarrassment.
“Uh, I, I’ll come over to your ‘Moonlight Dance’ some other time and have a cup of coffee together.”
He used a joke to cover up his embarrassment, but obviously, the joke wasn't funny.
Peter had a reserved expression and tried to scratch his head, but found that he was holding a newspaper in his hand. He put it down before it touched his hair, and then put his hands together to make a cradle gesture, imitating the Brazilian football player Bebeto. Celebrating the goal that eliminated the Netherlands in the quarter-finals of the 1994 World Cup.
A little clumsy and a little honest.
Kate was stunned. She didn’t understand what this action meant at all, but she just didn’t understand that the untimely moment could produce a humorous effect. She smiled completely and her words didn’t cross her mind at all, “So, then, Is it 'Dance of Moonlight'? ”
Refreshing and natural. Full of youthfulness.
Laura believes that this line is the most natural and relaxed part of Kate’s screen audition today; however, this part is completely out of the script, driven by Anson’s more agile and comfortable performance. For inspiration, all credit should go to Anson.
Peter smiled shyly, "I won't tell Harry."
The answer was wrong, but it created a little secret between the two of them, a little joke.
Kate's smile also fully bloomed, "Don't tell Harry."
Peter raised his voice and shouted again to the fading figure, "I can't."
But this time, the figure didn't turn around or look back, and just disappeared into the crowd.
Peter stood there, watching quietly in the direction Mary Jane left. The corners of his mouth slowly calmed down, and there was no trace of a smile anymore. There was a trace of loss and regret in his eyes, and he stood awkwardly. In place.
Muttered to himself, "I won't tell Harry."
The bitterness in the sadness once again revealed the earth-shaking nature of secret love, and even the figure standing there couldn't help it. Became sad.
There was silence in the whole room.
The other alternate actors couldn't explain why. On the one hand, they were immersed in the nervousness of being on stage; on the other hand, they were confused by Kate's repeated performances and the sense of rupture between two blanks. It's hard to tell for a moment whether the audition just happened was a good one or a bad one.
But the interesting thing is that when they came to their senses, they realized that everyone's attention was focused on Anson.
No one is an exception.
In other words, even with such a disastrous derailment, Anson still firmly captured the audience's attention; and there was no NG, no interruption in the audition, and even Kate's stumbling performance was still completed. , so, what does this mean?
Because Anson and Kate were the first group to appear, and there was no reference in front of them, it was impossible to judge how the interviewers headed by Ian viewed and reacted.
So, there was silence.
"Stuck!"
Until the sound came, breaking the silence, everyone woke up involuntarily, withdrew their eyes one after another, and then secretly looked at it with their peripheral vision.
The person who ended the audition was director Sam Raimi.
This geeky director who has always done his best to stage sloth lightning emoticons, now opened his eyes for the rare occasion, and a smile appeared on his expressionless face, full of warm approval and appreciation.
“Excellent.”
Sam said.
There was a buzz in the room.
Not to mention the other alternate actors, even Ian and Laura looked at Sam with astonishment on their faces. It was rare to see Sam express his opinion.
And, is it still aimed at Anson?
Obviously, no one thought Sam was complimenting Kate.
A smile appeared in Ian's eyes.
It seemed that things were going in the direction Ian expected. He turned his head and glanced at Laura, but he still couldn't detect any emotion from Laura's expression.
But Ian didn't say much and took the lead in applauding. It didn't appear too enthusiastic or exaggerated, but the action of applauding was absolutely real.
Snap, snap, snap.
Sparse applause sounded in the room, and everyone exchanged glances to confirm the emotions in each other's eyes.
Ian looked at Anson and repeated, "Excellent."
Although he was restrained and low-key, although he was understated, neither one or two of them were so crazy that they were full of praise, but Sam and Ian's successive statements could not be clearer:
Anson is a benchmark.
The fourth update.
