Chapter 293 Audition (Earth)
After Carlette left the audition room.

Including director Todd, director Danny, DC vice president Daniel and several executives, all scored Carlette in their respective notebooks.

Carlette's evaluations include "skillful performance", "has the temperament of a clown", "but a good choice", "doesn't add much highlight to this TV series, but can finish it smoothly".

"But." Vice President Daniel suggested after listening to all the opinions, "If Carlette plays this role, we can get 60 points, but we can only get 60 points. I don't think this is the original intention of our TV series. .”

This is true. Everyone, including Todd, fell into thinking.

"It's okay, we still have a candidate who can add a lot of light to the "Joker" TV series." Todd said.

"Is that the Chinese actor?" one executive asked.

"No, the other one." Todd shook his head, and he said a name that made everyone present unbelievable. He said, "Shia LaBeouf."

that madman? !Everyone came up with this idea.

……

Seeing Shia LaBeouf also auditioning, Carlette's agent Mike Donner's heart sank, and Adam also showed disgust.

Shia LaBeouf was once a favorite of the great director Spielberg and the leading actor of the hit IP "Transformers". He was supposed to have a bright future, but his crazy mind not only made him slander Spielberg on various occasions. Pielberg acted, and harassed other actors on the stage of the drama. At the same time, he was drinking, fighting, being caught by the police, plagiarizing and so on.

"Hey~" Shia LaBeouf said to Carlette, "I love you in The West Wing, but your role in it is a bit small~"

Carlette immediately retorted, "Are you here to audition for "Joker" too? Of course you are more suitable for him. Your performance art performance is very good. Where did your paper bag go?"

What Carlette satirized was that Shia LaBeouf vowed to hide from the entertainment industry after being caught in the plagiarism situation, but the next day he appeared on the Cannes red carpet with a paper bag on his head that said 'I am not a famous actor', and then Performed a performance art without taking off the headgear for five days on Hollywood Boulevard.

"Brother..." Shia LaBeouf grabbed the clothes on Carlette's chest, "Do you want to fight?!"

"Oh, no, no!" Manager Mike rushed over to try to persuade the fight, and director Todd who heard the news also pulled Shia LaBeouf into the audition room.

Later, when agent Mike helped Carlette calm down, he saw Adam whispering to a Chinese boy in a suit who was too beautiful, a bit like a young plum.

That's Truman, right?

Seeing this face, Mike regretted a little.

This is a beautiful face that is aesthetically pleasing to both East and West. If there is another competition for Jack in "Titanic", it can compete with Xiao Lizi. If only for this face, Mike will Some regret.

"That's the guy." Carlette saw Truman at the Venice Film Festival, and said warily, "He's very powerful."

"How powerful?" Mike asked.

"The acting skills are amazing." Carlette showed an indescribable expression, he just couldn't believe it, but he had to believe it, "You can't imagine what he has acted in."

"What did he play?" Mike asked like a repeater.

"He's been in six or seven roles in one movie, and the audience can't tell they're all from him," Carlette said.

In fact, Mike has also paid attention to the news at the Venice Film Festival, but the Venice Film Festival has always been a showcase for all kinds of cutting-edge directors. Although Mike has Todd's brokerage contract, he is not interested in directors, especially new directors.

"Is that so..." Mike felt a little more remorse, but it should be noted that Shia LaBeouf, as a Hollywood A-lister, is definitely the first choice for Time Warner, even though he is the one who is confused. .

They hardly have any chance.

No matter how amazing this Chinese actor is.

……

After half an hour.

Although Shia LaBeouf did not come out, the staff still called the next audition to enter, not Truman, but a tall, thin actor.

"It's a theater actor," Adam said, "from Broadway."

"Mr. Adam, how do you know?" Ting Jun asked.

"I've read his information. He is a potential actor who has starred in several operas on Broadway. Now he is looking for opportunities in Hollywood. He does not lack acting skills, but what he lacks is the experience of facing the big camera." Adam said.

"Mr. Adam, you are so amazing, even Broadway actors know it!" Ting Jun sincerely sighed.

Adam said: "This is the basic homework for agents, and it is also a problem for the American agent circle. We only pay attention to Hollywood, Broadway, and European film festivals. What is that? Otherwise, I would have learned about Truman earlier."

At this time, there was a loud noise from the audition room, and the tall, thin actor came out angrily, cursing as he walked, "Crazy!"

what happen?Adam and Ting Jun watched him leave, and at this time the name of 'Truman' was already called in the audition room.

"Come on." Adam encouraged Truman, "Show your strength to your heart's content, you will definitely win this role, no actor can compete with you."

After hearing this, Truman asked, "Can I hit him?"

hit him?hit who?No one can fight, it's an audition, not the UFC (US Mixed Martial Arts Competition).Adam didn't understand Truman's style, so he shook his head: "You can't fight."

"Okay." Truman nodded obediently.

……

Audition room.

Truman greeted director Todd and DC vice president Daniel, and Daniel introduced him to another director, Danny, who will co-direct the drama version of "Joker", as well as several Time Warner executives.

Then, pointing to Ciara Bove, who was sitting on the chair by the wall, Daniel said, "This is Ciara Bove. He's also interested in auditioning. You don't mind if he stays here?"

Truman didn't look back at the man by the wall, embarrassing Shiara Bove, who was making a provocative gesture.

Todd was very interested in the fact that Truman could deflate Ciara Bove without moving, but he didn't want to say anything more. Since he invited a time bomb like Ciara Bove, it would be best Don't let it blow up again.

So Todd said to Truman: "Hey, Truman, you must have received the script, just perform that part according to your understanding."

OKTruman nodded, and then began his performance.

The TV series "Joker" has a similar plot to the movie. Of course, it is limited to the first 3 episodes. Afterwards, according to the habits of American dramas, the screenwriters will start to play freely and take it all the way to the direction of the assembly line soap opera.

Now the script fragment that Truman got is a key scene of the clown's psychological transformation in the play. In the movie, Jacques Phoenix used a dance on the steps to show all this. That scene was regarded by many audiences and film critics as a classic shot.

Carlette just imitated this scene and performed a dance as if no one was watching. As Adam said, it was similar to Joaquin Phoenix's temperament, and the imitation was good.

And Shiara Boff also used body language to express, he performed a silent clown performance, like standing on the stage, under the spotlight, he smiled like crying, happy like despair, there is no doubt , is carefully prepared.

If Carlette can score 60 points, then Shiara Bove can score 90 points. Although this actor has a brain problem, his pursuit of acting skills is also part of his crazy character.

For example, Brad Pitt was shocked for a whole year when Shia LaBeouf smashed one of his teeth after he won the role in the movie "Fury", which he thought was more in line with the role.

Now, how will Truman perform?
