Chapter 544: Little Palace Scheming

"Hi, little Gilbert." Scarlett's head popped out of the door, startling little Gilbert.

"Scarlett?" Little Gilbert exclaimed, "Aren't you training? Why are you here?"

Scarlett pursed her lips and said, "Can't I take a break from training? I don't have many scenes to play, so I have a lot of free time."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work." Little Gilbert touched Scarlett's burgundy hair and said, "But I'm busy with the audition today and don't have time to greet you."

"What does it matter? Can I go with you and take a look?" Scarlett asked.

Little Gilbert thought for a moment and said, "Okay, but you can't make trouble."

Scarlett was unhappy: "I'm a very good boy, okay? When have I ever made trouble?"

"Hmm? You didn't?"

"Never..."

In the lounge prepared for the young actors, many of them were receiving temporary training from their parents or agents. It was mainly about etiquette, and they were clearly told how to address each person.

The first impression is very important. No one will like a little actor who is impolite and naughty, except in special circumstances.

Emma Watson was making preparations nervously. Compared with other child actors, her only advantage might be her greater fame.

But the advantage is also a disadvantage, because the character of Hermione makes her successful, but also limits her.

Before today's audition, Emma Watson went to Cantaloupe Manor to get close to Gilbert Jr., just as she has done in recent years.

Emma Watson knew that this project was a great opportunity to step out of Hermione's influence.

So that day she deliberately acted as if she could let little Gilbert do whatever he wanted. According to her understanding, some big shots in Hollywood and even in the upper class of North America liked this kind of tone of Youyou.

But it is obvious that little Gilbert is not that kind of person. Even Scarlett Johansson only managed to have her own place in Cantaloupe Manor after she became a great beauty.

Of course, Scarlett and Gilbert Jr. have a special relationship. This potential Hollywood actress has reached her current position thanks to Gilbert Jr.

Emma Watson would love to be the next Scarlett Johansson, but unfortunately, Gilbert Jr. doesn't seem to be very interested.

The agent was still encouraging Emma Watson: "Emma, ​​you have a great chance. I heard that Tom Cruise will also come to the audition today.

Don't be nervous, just play your best. "

Emma Watson nodded solemnly and said, "Don't worry, I am determined to get this role."

Not far away, Saoirse Ronan was also preparing.

In 2003, Saoirse Ronan starred in her first TV series "ER", becoming a child star in Ireland and even the UK.

Afterwards, she followed her parents to Los Angeles to seek opportunities, and was spotted by an agency, who recommended her to several film crews, where she played several roles.

It was also because of this experience that Saoirse Ronan was eventually added to the list by the Screen Actors Guild and entered the final audition.

Saoirse Ronan was accompanied by her parents to today's audition. Her parents seemed even more nervous than she was. After all, this was a work directed by Gilbert Frédéric, who was well-known in Europe.

If they were chosen, their daughter would soar to great heights.

Seeing this, Saoirse Ronan comforted her: "Don't be nervous, Mom and Dad, I'm well prepared and I will definitely win the audition."

"That's what I mean," Mom said, pointing to Emma Watson not far away. "Look, that's Hermione. She's here for the audition, too."

I don’t know Emma Watson’s name, but I know that she played Hermione, which shows that the image of Hermione is highly associated with Emma Watson.

Saoirse Ronan looked over and saw Emma Watson looking over. The two looked at each other, and the air seemed to freeze. Just a glance, and then they looked away immediately.

Emma Watson looked unhappy, but Saoirse Ronan smiled happily: "It's okay, Mom. Director Gilbert Jr. is not the kind of person who cares about fame and connections.

As long as I auditioned better than everyone else, he would choose me.”

Mom sighed and said, "I hope so!"

In the audition hall, assistant director Anne and the photographer are ready, and Charles Roven is looking at the list of actors for audition.

Little Gilbert took Scarlett into the audition hall. Scarlett jumped up and down and pestered Annie: "Hello, Annie, long time no see."

"Scarlett?" Annie was very surprised: "When did you come here?"

"Just this morning, I pestered little Gilbert to bring me to the audition." Scarlett asked with a smile, "How are you preparing?"

"That's great," Anne said mysteriously, "Today we have gathered little girls born after 1990, all of whom are excellent actors."

"Really? I'd like to ask for a price and see for myself." Scarlett said.

Anne took Scarlett's hand and said, "I think if you were six or seven years younger, this role would belong to you. Little Gilbert wouldn't give it to anyone else."

"That's right," Scarlett said proudly, "I am the best choice, but now let's give other young actors some opportunities!"

People who have been with little Gilbert for a long time have a good relationship with Scarlett, and everyone knows that little Gilbert dotes on Scarlett.

Even if you don't want to please this princess, you can't offend her.

Little Gilbert chatted with Charles Rowan, and then quickly asked Scarlett to sit down: "Sit down, the audition will start soon."

"Okay!" Scarlett was as obedient as a docile Persian cat and sat down next to little Gilbert.

Outside the audition hall, Tom Cruise walked over accompanied by his assistant and passed by the young actors' lounge.

The appearance of the Hollywood superstar immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Many parents and agents do not have the opportunity to interact with Hollywood superstars, and young actors aged 11, 12 or 13 are basically old enough to understand a little bit of things, and of course they know what the name Tom Cruise stands for.

Tom Cruise waved warmly and greeted the young actors before entering the audition hall.

"Tom, you're here? You must have had a hard day today." Gilbert Jr. hugged Tom Cruise.

"Don't say that. I should cooperate." Tom Cruise saw Scarlett next to him and asked, "Scarlett, aren't you filming Iron Man?"

"Yes," Scarlett replied, "but there is no part for me at the moment, the crew is still arguing with the Pentagon about renting F22 fighter jets to shoot the movie.

But after reading the script, the Pentagon was dissatisfied and demanded that the script be revised.”

"Don't worry," Gilbert Jr. also knew about this, and he said with a smile, "Michelle will take care of it."

"Don't mention it," Scarlett rubbed his head and said, "Michelle has had a headache lately and is under a lot of pressure. I think it would be better for her to go and make a movie."

After turning behind the scenes, "Iron Man" is Cameron Diaz's first film without Gilbert Jr. as a producer. Although Kevin Feige is there, Kevin Feige is a novice in the film industry.

So Cameron Diaz had to handle a lot of work herself, which naturally put a lot of pressure on her.

However, if Cameron Diaz wants to do a good job as a producer, this is what she must go through. Gilbert Jr. did not provide any additional help, and Cameron Diaz had to learn to grow on her own.
