Meiyu: I don’t care about the cost when making movies

Chapter 70 She really knows how to pick people.

While Susan was looking at Naomi Watts, who was obviously 32 years old, but looked similar to a 23-year-old girl, and wondering how this guy took care of himself, she whispered to Gus and Ai beside her. Lun said.

After listening, the two people looked much more serious.

First of all, the actress who can be valued by David Lynch is enough to make them curious. After all, they have never heard of Naomi Watts's name before.

Furthermore, Naomi is an actress recommended by Wayne, so that deserves even more attention.

It's not that Hollywood and even America don't care about human connections. On the contrary, here they value human resources very much.

It's just that they use utilization to measure the value of favors and connections, and prioritize whether doing so is in their own interests.

So although Gus paid more attention to Naomi, he didn't deliberately let her go. He directly selected the two most difficult paragraphs from Naomi's script for her to perform.

The first part is that after 'Betty' was picked up, 'Lawrence' returned to work at the tyw club again, dancing on the stage while looking at the audience, as if he were two different people from them. world.

Without 'Betty', what's the point of her job?

Without 'Betty', where is her future and the direction of her life?

'Lawrence' mechanically twisted her body and danced passionately, with a habitual, charming and flattering smile on her face in exchange for more rewards from the guests, but her heart was full of Missing 'Betty' and confused about the future.

Unknowingly, a surprised expression appeared on Susan's face.

She didn't know how Naomi's performance in front of her would look in the eyes of a great director like Gus, but in her eyes, she couldn't see any flaws, and it felt like it was completely natural and back to nature.

To put it simply, it didn't look like an act at all, and it instantly attracted her attention and aroused her emotions.

She didn't know whether this was the result of Naomi's training, or whether she had such strength. Anyway, she had completely dispelled her doubts about Naomi, a 'cheap' and 'unfamous' little actor.

“This guy Wayne is really good at picking people out!”

Tens of thousands of kilometers away, Wayne looked at Eva Green, who was sleeping and still exuding a charming aura, and couldn't help but have a good conversation with her, completely unaware that he had once again been recognized by Susan.

Then she looked curiously at Gus beside her, wanting to see Gus's reaction at this time and his evaluation of Naomi's performance.

Then, somewhat unexpectedly and somewhat reasonably, Gus also nodded slightly, with a very satisfied look on his face.

"Very good, Miss Watts, someone who can be favored by Director Lynch and Mr. Wayne, her acting skills are indeed very good!" After the performance with Naomi Watts, Gus took the initiative to praise her.

Of course, it's hard to say whether Naomi's acting skills are really that good, but according to his standards, Naomi's performance was enough for him to pass even in a movie.

"Thank you for your compliment!" Naomi quickly thanked him.

However, because Susan was also there, she did not act as humble as in previous auditions.It wasn't that she was complacent after holding him on her lap, but that she represented a little bit of Wayne's face.

"Then let's start the second audition. This time we will play the scene where Lawrence finally couldn't bear to watch 'Betty' after being tortured by longing for many days. The two looked at each other from a distance inside and outside the garden." The scene is also difficult to say, but it is not easy to say it is simple.

Fortunately, although Naomi was born as a wild child, she is not the kind of little girl with paralyzed face who is most popular in later generations of Chinese entertainment. Her eyes and expressions are very lively and dramatic.

It is worth mentioning that the last time Wayne asked her and Annie to audition, it was this section that they chose to perform.

At the beginning, she stood 'outside the garden', with various emotions such as pain, longing, and struggle entangled together, and her face showed an extremely complicated expression.

But when 'Betty' suddenly turned her head with understanding, and the two people's eyes met, all the joy and struggle were gone. Looking at the face as cute as an angel, the eyes as pure as gems, 'Lawrence''s heart There was only one voice left.

"I can't live without her! I want to be with her!"

Naomi performed this complete change of emotions very well with her vivid expressions and eyes, directly crushing Anne, whose acting skills are still very immature now, and thus won the role of 'Lawrence'.

Now, she has successfully won the recognition of Gus and the three of them by not being inferior to her original state.

"Yes!"

After leaving the audition room, Naomi completely ignored the gazes of other people around her and couldn't help but clenched her fists in excitement.

This is a heroine audition!
The last "Mulholland Drive" was said to be one of two female leads, but in fact, based on the role, she was only the second female lead.

Now this time she is a real heroine.

Successfully passing the audition not only made her completely relieved, but also meant that she was one step closer to her goal of becoming famous and making a lot of money.

When she thought of this, even with her temperament that she had developed through many years of experience, she couldn't control herself, and her face showed an expression of excitement.

Not far away, Anne, who was adjusting her condition, suddenly showed a disappointed expression after noticing her expression, and the last hope of getting the heroine was shattered.

Fortunately, she had learned the lesson from last time, and the opportunity this time was not great, so her mentality was not greatly affected.

Nowadays, she will not relax at all for every audition, no matter how small the role is. It can be said that she has grown a lot.

But when she thought that the next audition was not her, but Dakota Fanning, she felt a little depressed again.

But who made Dakota Fanning the number two character in this movie?And judging from the original version, because Mary played by McKenna Grace was so brilliant, even Frank, who was originally the protagonist, was overshadowed by her.

It has to be said that some geniuses just cannot be judged by common sense. Although Dakota Fanning has been a bit invisible to everyone since she was a teenager and lost her original spirituality, she is indeed too spiritual and brilliant now. .

In the audition room, Gus and Susan, who originally only thought about accepting the role as long as they could meet the minimum standards, were really surprised after watching Dakota Fanning's performance.
