Chapter 201 Different
Kate, when Duke found you in person, it means that he has a preference for you in his heart.
As soon as she walked out of the dressing room and went to the dressing room outside, Zeta Jones heard the words of her agent Vivian cheering her up, As long as you show a normal level, you will definitely get this role, this will be your Hollywood road. Start!
Standing in front of the full-length mirror and looking at the tight black short skirt, Catherine Zeta Jones looked extremely confident, I will definitely succeed, Vivienne.
Taking off her shoes, Zeta Jones walked barefoot to the high-heel dance shoes prepared by the costumer, but did not put them on immediately, but picked them up and touched them inside and out. Newcomers to the industry know the tricks that may exist during the audition, and know how to protect themselves.
Make sure there is no problem with the dancing shoes, Catherine Zeta Jones just put them on.
There was a knock on the door, and a female assistant pushed the door and walked in, Miss Jones, please go to the audition room in five minutes.
Without waiting for Zeta Jones to say anything, the female assistant turned around and left.
Kate, after you came to Los Angeles, Vivian looked at her watch and came over and asked, Have you contacted Duke?
Called him twice.
Putting on his dancing shoes, Zeta Jones stood in front of the full-length mirror again, and after confirming that he had no problem, he said, The people answering the phone are his assistants. I tried to ask him out, but he seemed to be busy, I didn't success.
Keep working hard. Vivian looked at the glamorous and sexy Zeta Jones in the mirror, Kate, you must know that with similar audition effects, some off-site factors and human relationships sometimes play an unexpected role.
She pondered a little. He added, Roxy's audition has ended, and although the results have not yet come out, most people know that Naomi Watts will definitely get this role.
Aren't there big stars like Julia Roberts and Demi Moore in there?
Seeing that Zeta Jones was a little puzzled, Vivian shook her head. Do you know why? Naomi Watts had an affair with Duke a few years ago. Their relationship is never as simple as it seems, and most of the rumors in this circle are actually true.
I understand what to do.
Opening the door to the dressing room, Zeta Jones strode toward the audition room.
In the audition room, Duke, Zach Snyder, Sofia Coppola and Lily Fred discuss the audition that just ended.
Beautiful, sexy, tall... Zach Snyder expressed his opinion, And the natural passion and wildness of Spanish girls, and the shape basically meets the requirements of the role.
According to the information. She came to North America last year. Sophia flipped through the document and said, Although Penelope Cruz is not a newcomer, she is only twenty-one years old, and she is a little younger. And her English is very good. With an obvious accent, it's only a few months away from filming, and even if she goes to an accent class, it's too late.
Lily. What do you think? Duke asked.
As a song and dance director, Lily Fred's opinion is very important. Her basics in Latin dance are good, but when she dances...
She shook her head, Compared to the previous Salma Hayek, her singing and dancing have an advantage. But her acting skills are too immature.
The casting director who hosted the audition on the other side never spoke. He knew very well that he had no right to speak in such a heavyweight role.
Several people have the right to make suggestions, but Duke is the only one who really decides the results of the audition. He is not only the director and producer, but also the only investor in the film.
Sophia, notify Miss Cruz's agent tomorrow.
Seeing Duke shaking her head at her, Sofia Coppola jots it down in her notebook, and then asks the audition director to notify the next audition candidate.
This isn't the first time Zeta Jones has auditioned in Hollywood but doesn't want to return to the UK as a loser again.
After a brief self-introduction, she looked behind the camera. There were several people who could decide her future. They were either unfamiliar or familiar. Zeta Jones' eyes turned covertly from these people, and finally landed on Duke. on the body.
With the charismatic reserved smile she'd practiced countless times in the mirror, Catherine Zeta-Jones gave Duke a slight nod, and when those black eyes turned to herself, she stepped out of the first dance steps.
Zeta Jones was obviously prepared, and while showing the basic skills of dance, he used a cappella to sing the classic aria - all..
In the spacious audition room, only Catherine Zeta Jones' singing reverberated. Duke rested his chin in one hand and watched the performance of the other side earnestly. Compared with the past, Zeta Jones' acting skills were a little greener and lesser. A little more mature, probably not yet divorced from the stage play and younger relationship, her singing and dancing are explosive, and the whole person seems more energetic.
After just a few minutes of singing and dancing, Lily Fred, who was next to him, leaned over and whispered, This is the best singing and dancing foundation I've seen in the audition, and the acting skills are also good.
Although there are many differences between the performances of movies and stage plays, those who can act in stage plays all year round will definitely not be too bad, and often even better. After all, stage plays do not have the opportunity to stop and start again.
Is this the actor you hired specifically from England?
Sofia Coppola on the other side also whispered, Good eyesight, even better than Naomi Watts who passed the audition the day before yesterday.
The audition lasted for more than 40 minutes. Catherine Zeta Jones gasped slightly, and turned her eyes from those people one by one. She could feel that they recognized her.
Miss Jones... Sophia said while writing something down in the notebook, We will notify your agent as soon as possible.
thanks.
With a sweet smile, she turned and walked out of the audition room.
Lily, tell me your opinion.
After whispering a few words to Zach Snyder and Sofia Coppola, Duke determined that image and acting skills are not a problem, and the remaining professional qualities were handed over to professionals, What do you think of her singing, dancing and temperament?
Sexy, pretty, charming, Miss Jones is so much prettier than the heroine of the new Broadway remake.
With a sigh, Lily Fred turned to the topic. She has performed the character's candid, fiery, and wild temperament very well, which is very rare. In terms of dancing, Miss Jones is the actor with the most solid basic skills I have seen in the audition. In terms of singing, although it can not be compared with black singers, but The explosive power of her voice and the clarity of her words are commendable.
She concluded, I tend to choose her for Velma.
Don't worry. Duke looked at the audition list. There is another candidate, we will make a decision after reading it.
Perhaps because of the excellent singing and dancing audition of Catherine Zeta Jones, the actors behind could no longer attract too much attention from Duke and others. It only took less than half an hour to end the audition.
After calling out Zeta Jones' audition video and playing it again, Duke tapped the table to attract the attention of everyone in the audition room. Said, Roxy chose Naomi Watts, Velma chose Catherine Zeta Jones, what's your opinion?
I agree. Sofia Coppola was the first to agree.
agree.
agree……
The cast was unanimously approved, and Duke looked at his watch. He also attended a party related to the awards season in the evening. He turned to Sofia and said, Remember to notify Zeta Jones' agent and let Robin start negotiations with them as soon as possible. The lower the salary, the better.
After explaining, Duke left the audition room. He went back to his office, took his cell phone, and walked into the small front room of the Duke's studio.
On the sofa in the front hall that served as the reception area, a young girl with black hair and a shawl stood up immediately and walked directly to this side. Hearing the sound of high heels landing, Duke turned his head to see that it was Catherine Zeta Jones who had just finished auditioning.
Hi, Duke. She greeted with a smile when she came over.
Duke nodded to Zeta Jones, Long time no see, Kate.
I've called you a few times since I came to Los Angeles.
Catherine Zeta Jones slipped her long black hair behind her ears, and her delicate face showed just the right complaint, It seems very difficult to talk to you on the phone...
Sorry, I've been very busy at work recently.
As if he didn't see the expression on the other's face, Duke deliberately raised his watch to look at it. Catherine Zeta Jones immediately understood what he meant and said tentatively, If you have something to do, let's talk next time.
I have a party to attend.
Turning back, Duke waved at her, Let's talk next time.
After he finished speaking, he walked towards the outside of the studio, but there was a sound of high heels landing from behind. Zeta Jones followed, and without waiting for Duke to ask anything, he quickly explained, I'm also ready to leave.
Are you going to the parking lot?
Seeing Duke nod, she smiled and said, We'll be together.
She followed Duke closely, slightly behind, with a faint smile on her face. If anyone who didn't know the inside story saw it, she would think that the two were extremely familiar friends.
Catherine Zeta Jones is a very smart woman. She didn't say anything from the beginning to the end. When she walked to the parking lot, she reservedly shook hands with Duke, leaving a sexy back, and drove away from the Duke first. studio.
As soon as she exited the parking lot, Zeta Jones received a call from her agent. After hearing a few words, she stepped on the brakes and stopped on the side of the road. She threw away the phone with her right hand, and covered her rapidly rising chest with her left hand. The excitement on his face was beyond words.
It was nothing like she thought, and she landed the role of Velma just by virtue of her excellent audition!
A black Bentley passed by. At a glance, Catherine Zeta Jones seemed to see a familiar figure with a smile on the corner of her mouth. A director who was different, wasn't she? (To be continued ^)
