Chapter 510: Sentimental
Shaking a stack of paper in his hand, Drew asked with a corner of his mouth: "I just had someone stuffing your pocket, don't you feel it?"
"I thought these girls were eating my tofu," Eric certainly couldn't feel, but didn't go too far. He reached out and took the paper from Drew's hand and found that it was all written. Way photo.
In the past two years, Eric’s film protagonist has no longer faced the election of ordinary actors. He only sent audition invitations to qualified actor who is qualified. He also did not participate in the selection of supporting actors, so he has not encountered this for a long time. Things, looking at the photos of these beautiful young girls, also produced a long-lost freshness. It seems that a few years ago, he just made his debut in Hollywood with "The Little Devil" and held a party at the home in North Hollywood. I have encountered similar things at the time.
Eric is working with Drew on the photo of the girl in the opponent's photo. The door of the Drew office was pushed open. Elizabeth, a skilled black professional suit, came in: "Eric, I heard Ellie say You came, I thought she was wrong."
"Good morning, Liz," Eric put the stack of photos on Drew and kissed the girl and kissed him: "You are beautiful today."
Although Elizabeth enjoyed Eric's hug, she felt that she was staring at Drew's little eyes. She could only uncomfortably smash Eric's cheeks, then pushed him away and fiddled with the forehead. The blonde said, "The audition is about to begin. I will take you to some of the masterpieces of Buffy."
"Well, then let's go," Eric nodded and three people left the office together. Through an open office area, walk into a spacious room for audition.
Several people in the room who were whispering in the room saw the three coming in and stood up, their eyes focused on Eric.
"Eric, this is David Greenwater." Elizabeth first pointed out that the middle-aged white man with black-rimmed glasses, who was about forty years old, said: "He is very good at youth and horror-type film and television production. In the 1980s, several campus comedies were filmed. Last year, I also directed two episodes of "X-Files". We invited him to serve as the director of the first season of Buffy."
"Hello, Mr. Williams," David Greenwater smiled and reached out and shook Eric: "It's nice to meet you. I am your fan."
"Thank you," Eric laughed and let go of the other's hand, but did not find the shadow of the person in his memory, but heard that Elizabeth had just said that David Greenwater had filmed the "x-file" episode. The other party is estimated to be the director of Fox TV.
"This is Mr. Joss Weiden, the screenwriter of Buffy," Elizabeth soon pointed to the second person.
Eric once again shook hands with the other side. At this time, Jos Weiden was just in his early thirties, and he looked like a savvy look, and he looked much better than the bearded man in Eric’s memory.
It also briefly introduced several other masters, and the talents sat down behind a row of long tables.
Eric retired the middle position that he had originally arranged for himself, picking the leftmost one. He was in the mind of a pastime, and did not want to blend the meaning of this audition.
Looking at the stack of actors that Tina Fein handed to her, Eric took it back and went back directly: "Tina. I don't want this, how much have you made in the script of Buffy?"
Everyone in the audition room paid attention to this. Tina Fei did not dare to say anything. He took over the things that Eric handed over and put it back in the folder. He pushed the glasses and said: "The first six episodes The script has been completed. The plot behind is still under discussion."
"Then take the script from the first six episodes and let me see it."
Tina Fein looked at Drew and Elizabeth sitting in the middle and quickly nodded to Eric. Going out of the audition room and coming back again after a while. Submit a printed copy to Eric.
The audition started at ten o'clock on time, and Eric casually looked at the "Buffy" script in his hand. When he met the audition girl who felt pleasing to the eye, he stopped to watch the performance of the other party for a while. In addition, listening to the tone of Drew's serious questioning with the other masters to the audition, Eric finally realized that the Nizi who always pretended to be a small adult really grew up.
"Buffy" as a TV drama project that tg focused on this year, also represents the ambition of several women in TV dramas. In addition to the famous producer of Eric, both Elizabeth and Drew have personally played as producers, although tg It has grown to exceed the scale of many established movie companies in Hollywood, but because of the fireflies and Fox, tg is not involved in the release, so the production has become the company's only core business, in the absence of aside, although things must be close, but also able to Keep everything in order.
Because it was the last round of audition, the corresponding process was much more meticulous. Only five girls passed in the morning for two hours. Tg was very considerate in the restaurant of the Fox Building to entertain girls who had not yet participated in the audition.
Eric did not go to join in the fun, but was eating lunch with Elizabeth and Drew in the tg company's lounge. Tina Fey, who had to go to the restaurant with other staff members of the company, was also stopped by Drew.
After the waiter who came over to deliver the meal, Elizabeth couldn’t wait to ask: "Eric, what do you think of the girls in the morning?"
"It's all good, you look at the selection, I don't comment," Eric ripped the wrapping paper for lunch and said casually.
This is a matter of heart. Although Hollywood has a lot of TV series every year, but it has not yet started to be produced like Buffy. It has already determined that a promising TV series is the target of many brokerage companies and actors. Previously, "Buffy" has been eliminated in two rounds. Up to now, there are only 16 candidates left. It is possible to kill this stage. The strength of the actors is basically not much problem. Now, just look at how the main creative team chooses. It is.
At this time, in addition to the performance of the actors themselves during the audition, they also began to test the other soft power of the actors, if the actors' agents had enough contacts. Privately able to contact producers who have the right to speak, the possibility of an actor being selected is great. Of course, this time is often the moment when the director or producer who has the right to speak captures the private 'welfare'. The little actor who is eager to become famous encounters hints, and basically will automatically send it to the door, and even afterwards it is found to be cheated. Often, they can only recognize themselves bad luck.
Thinking of this, Eric smiled and said to Elizabeth: "Liz, this is a good opportunity for you."
Elizabeth was a little confused first, but she quickly understood it. Seeing that Eric was joking about the original, some helplessly gave him a blank eye. I started eating lunch from the bottom of my head.
"Speaking, I haven't seen Julia for a long time," Eric saw that Elizabeth didn't bicker with himself as he used to, and then shifted the subject: "This Nizi is really taking a stick and taking a step. I started her about this time last year. Filming. She really took a piece of tepid, and then it didn't move."
"Ha ha……"
I didn't know what I thought, and Elizabeth suddenly laughed when she heard Eric's words.
Tina Fei looked up in confusion, and some did not understand why Elizabeth laughed.
Drew also opened his mouth and said to Eric: "This is actually blaming you. If you go to Beverly Hills to teach Julia, she will be diligent."
Eric looked at Drew’s smiling look. Some of the skeptics also know that Julia’s...what happened?
I think so. However, Eric said: "Well, I will look at it tonight."
The audition in the afternoon will begin soon. Eric continued to play with soy sauce boringly. He thought that the whole audition would be seen by Eric's other "Buffy" masters, and gradually relaxed. I thought this audition would be so flat. After spending time, a tall girl who stepped into the audition room immediately caught the attention of Eric.
Another ‘acquaintance’!
Eric sighed with coincidence and raised his head and listened carefully to the girl to introduce himself.
"Hello everyone. My name is Charlize Theron and I am 18 years old. From South Africa..."
At this time, Charlize Theron had grown to more than one meter and seven, and there was baby fat on his face. It seems a bit green, but the natural laziness in the eyes has a scent of a few years later. The girl was self-introduced, and her eyes inadvertently swept over Eric, who was sitting at the far corner. Her eyes closed for a moment, and she was a little surprised, but she quickly relaxed, but the next gaze was involuntarily frequent. To Eric here.
Eric also noticed the short-term demise of Charlize Theron. When he came over in the morning, he did not see each other in the corridor. It is obvious that the other party came to participate in the audition after that. It is estimated that because of this, Charlize It wasn't known that Seron was sitting in this room. After all, the girls who finally managed to kill the last round of auditions knew the intensity of the competition. Of course, it was impossible to take the initiative to disclose what information to the latecomers. Previously, some auditor girls who knew Eric in this room had tried and interacted with Eric more or less during the audition. Although there was no result, they could be seen. The heart of the machine.
Charlize Theron finished his introduction, and Elizabeth sat in the middle and asked: "Miss Theron, your information shows that you have been learning ballet since the age of six, and have also participated in a ballet troupe in New York, then What made you give up this job and turn to be an actor?"
Charlize Theron quickly said: "Because I was injured when I danced last year, I recovered after a few months of rehabilitation. During the process of recuperation, I think dancing may not be suitable for me. My dream is to be a child. An actor, so after a good injury, while working, he began to perform at a drama school in New York."
Another voice quickly asked: "For 12 years, suddenly give up, don't you think it's a pity, maybe for a few more years, you might become the most shining star on the Broadway stage?"
There was a brief hesitation in Charlize Theron's expression, and Eric was also curious as to how the other would answer. Obviously, Charlie Theron was not prepared in advance.
Although this issue is not very relevant to this interview, Charlize Theron also knows that he can't refuse to answer. After thinking for a while, he said, "I don't feel sorry, if one realizes that what is being done now is not What she wants, and she still has to stubbornly persist in wasting time, that is a pity and a sad thing."
It seems that Charlie Theron's answer is very satisfactory, and he was asked a few simple questions, and the audition entered the performance stage.
Most of the performance scenes are shots in the scripts in front of Eric. In the first season, Buffyfi’s character is still young and young. If she strips off her 'naturally chosen' status, she and most of them enter adolescence. Like high school students, they are innocent and rebellious. They are full of yearning for love, but they have the confidence that most girls face their favorite boys.
However, because Eric’s memory of most of the screen characters of Charlize Theron is basically similar to the picture of the Queen’s man holding a wrench and knocking on the man’s leg bones. Similar to the high school girl's shy appearance, Charlize Theron, Eric feels more violations and more violations.
Therefore, when Charlize Theron performed Buffy to send the favorite boy away, some did not confidently ask Giles 'Do you think this dress would look fat?', Eric finally couldn’t help but laugh. Come.
Some awkward laughter not only planned Charlie Theron's performance, but also let other people in the audition room look over.
"Sorry, sorry," Eric quickly waved his hand: "I just think... um, it's okay, you continue."
......
Leaving the Fox headquarters building, Charlize Theron groaned and slammed his foot on a lamppost in front of the building, but the inner irritability did not dissipate.
Blame the wicked guy.
Charlize Theron believes that there has been absolutely no mistake in the performance she has just started. After all, she has been preparing for this audition for so long, not only for many times, but also for many times, the film version of "Vampire Hunter Buffy", her agent She also found some more detailed information for her through some private channels. But because the guy smiled abruptly during the audition, it was difficult for her to calmly continue the audition, so there were several mistakes.
Although the auditionists did not show too much, when she left, she still saw disappointment from the faces of several people. (To be continued)
