Audition for “independence day” galactic invasion.

-Sweetheart, you'll be in the angels, -Gwyneth remarked.

-I will be, but I have a lot to accomplish. There's a significant role I want to play. There's going to be a major audition, and, well, I need approval... How's New York? - Billy inquired.

-I'll be taking on a role my father recommended. I'd love for you to be a part of it, but if the project is important, we can postpone the role, - Gwyneth commented.

Talking over the phone, sprawled out on a carpet, wearing shorts, and moving her legs, she was truly captivating. Milky skin and her flirtatious way of speaking. Something Billy couldn't forget; Gwyneth could only be described as hot.

-None of that, contact my agent. If I have to participate, I'll have to participate. Plus, I need to improve my acting skills. We can learn some techniques along the way to help me improve, - Billy remarked.

-No problem. I asked my father, who in turn asked some famous winners, about how to improve his acting skills. I was surprised. He asked Al Pacino, who recently starred in The Godfather. You know what he said? The best way to understand a character is by studying. The first thing you should do is understand the character and write a 10,000-word essay about your character. Once you perfectly understand your character, you can start experimenting with the role. You have to become the character. It's best to act with people in the industry or interact with people who treat you like the character. The second step is imitation, copying the elements of the character... Third, rewrite a 10,000-word essay now with your experiences, - Gwyneth commented.

Surprising Billy, there's something strange. This girl helps him in so many ways that Billy's face can only be slapped... This is how people feel when someone treats them very well. He just feels like taking a breather, but he knows good intentions shouldn't be taken lightly.

-Thanks, Gwyn, I'll be there tomorrow at noon for the interview, - Billy commented, ending the conversation, as many things lay right in front of him. The first was to finish recording for The Iron Giant and to plan out the next steps to make money.

Jim Gianopulus arrived yesterday and mentioned that Survivors wasn't received well by Sony, however, he has different meetings scheduled with NBC, CBS, and ABC, which are not yet owned by Disney.

But now he must get back to acting, in The Iron Giant, the robot's sounds were constantly reevaluated in other shots. Guided by Billy himself, who took the lead in gesturing the robot's habits, every word of the robot was taken with supreme delicacy. The robot has a total of 39 entries, each of which he handled on his own.

Not far away, Thandie Newton occupied a spot nearby, she was taking on the role of the lead actress, and although she didn't show it, she was a woman with great skills. As a British actress, she had a powerful performance and many skills of her own from her acting academy and method. Her olive skin and model-like figure were wonderful. She wore a green dress above her knees that accentuated her figure in a way that defied logic.

Billy walked to the studio to continue with the acting, as much as he could. He had to make the robot sounds.

Independence Day is one of the great films of the 90s, although it may seem outdated and not very developed, it's one of the best commercial movies, a huge blockbuster that, despite what many may deny, touched the hearts of many. Its epic nature, the raw depiction of the Martians.

For the second time, he saw a long line. They called for a massive casting to choose good actors, unknown ones. They had a small budget, much less than they had previously, big breaks are common, however, what's uncommon is the triumph of an unknown, when the struggle is against big names, it's just a blow to all the titles of people who don't have connections.

The hallways were sharp as he pondered on the performance ahead, mimicking a soldier, mimicking a pilot, a man who must behave, in love and eager to have a family, above an ordinary person, he's a man who has a certain joy, his work is a brief model of an actor, Billy desires, above comic relief, to portray someone who has a soldier's dilemma, between loving, tender, tough, serious, cold, and cheerful, the idea is to portray a hero's sign, who lives under the rule's yoke, capable of love.

Billy walks down the hallway, although the producer isn't famous, they're related to Fox Century and the relationship is close as it will be distributed by Fox. Curiously, in Independence Day, Billy's scenes aren't big, and there's almost a series as if the characters were divided, each with a role to play, and Billy's role as Captain Steven Hiller.

Billy has a problem. At 18, although he doesn't look older, he can use small tricks that give him an older age, such as a beard, hairstyle, makeup, and graying hair, it all depends on perspective.

-Stay calm, many of these people are modeling for performances of other characters, - Jim Waitt commented, accompanying him. Not far from him, he saw two important details.

-Billy, - a girl not far from him commented. It was Mili Avital, one of the women he gets along with best.

-What are you doing here? -Billy asked.

-It's funny that you ask when it's your fault. Your agent spoke to Ronald, and well, in turn, they spoke to me. You need a wife, - Mili commented, kissing Billy on the cheek.

-Practicing for the wife of Steve Miller, the airplane pilot, - Billy asked.

-That's right, and well, here I am. Although you've been active, I've only had small roles in ER, and you've had two extra movies, and well, your things in the press, if I didn't know you were a sweet man and not a playboy, - Mili said, her green eyes still as beautiful as ever, large and lively.

-You're right, the press has killed me, and sometimes I think those bastards are looking to laugh about my life, my work, my company, and my family, - Billy responded disheartened.

-It's okay, those who know you know you're not as cruel as many say, and well, Ronald calling you also proves that - Mili responded, getting closer to Billy and lowering her voice, many ears could try to listen, and if she spoke too softly, it could be worse, as they wanted to eavesdrop, Billy is a great specimen for the news.

-I have my audition coming up soon, my profile is just to look sexy. Should I call you for dinner? - Mili said, smiling. Now that Billy saw her, she was wearing deep red heels, along with a short white skirt and a snug crop top that showed off her figure.

-Of course, - Billy said.

-Women, either run from them or be strong, Billy. Usually, women are the hottest topics in Hollywood, they can destroy a man's career or elevate him to heaven, be careful!"- Jim Waitt responded.

-Thanks, Jim, - Billy commented.

 

Two hours passed, and amid that place, he visualized that many people were still there. When called, he entered the casting room, a small room where Devin Debli, Ronald Emerich, and Patrick Jonaha were seated, all members of the production team. For now, Billy's attire was a white shirt, military pants, and boots.

-Good morning, - Billy greeted.

-A pleasure, Mr. Carson, - Patrick commented, then whispered to the others. "He has three movies under his belt, he's considered a mid-tier actor, he has good recommendations, and he's a master of dubbing, -he said softly, Billy didn't catch the whole story.

In front of Billy was a chair, red, resembling a racing seat, however, this chair was only in front, nothing surprising.

-Use the chair as your portrayal of Steve Hiller. You must represent a military figure, - Patrick commented.

The nod was a simple acknowledgment. No words were exchanged, the order was clear, basic performances were required, no fuss.

...

This is command one, three, twelve... Captain Steve Hiller is in charge of the reconnaissance offensive. I see the heights and lieutenants, and I see the distant journey, and I'm not afraid. Adjust your coordinates, flank 15, please cover our backs, Bravo 13, to my right.

Pressure gestures, trying to force his back backward due to the G-forces.

For others, it might seem somewhat ridiculous, sitting in a chair and altering a story, as if playing a child's game. Good point, the movie doesn't demand grand performances, so if a memorable performance is achieved, even better. Nuances.

-Be cautious, and act calmly. We prepare for a bird maneuver, we'll take the rear, and we'll use the bright green circle that revolves around the central point of the ship. Be cautious, we expect retaliation from alien activity, - Billy spoke in a tough and concise tone, echoed by Billy, following steps he memorized.

...

-Hold, - Devlin commented, taking notes. -Take note, give me some comic relief. We need a military figure to kick off the series, which, above an art film, is a science fiction movie, - Devlin, the screenwriter, and producer, remarked.

-No problem, sir, I'm an actor, - Billy said, sighing inwardly. Comedy can be approached from tragedy or simplicity. There are secrets to appearing funny.

But being funny is just a silly matter, something Billy doesn't fancy. Seriousness demands better work. All for his plans!

-Let's take the script shots, page 24, - Devlin commented, indeed making the movie needs someone to add comedy.

...

Thirty-five pilots are being briefed by their commanding officer, CAPTAIN WATSON, who points at a blurry photograph of the ship over Los Angeles.

-You'll be the first wave in our counterattack. Although surveillance satellite reconnaissance has been affected, we have a solution to our main target, -Watson commented.

Steve and Jimmy sit side by side near the back of the room.

Steve, whispering to Jimmy, -You don't exactly need radar to find it, - Billy commented, with a hint of mischief. Between comedy, the first thing is to raise the lips in a smile, the bright eyes express, that they need to be opened along with a smile, almost anticipating something funny.

-Do you want to add something to this briefing, Lieutenant Hill? - says Watson, as per the script.

-No sir. I'm really looking forward to kicking some alien ass, sir, - Billy remarked, a formal conversation, entirely serious, but he smiled wickedly.

...

-Very well, that's all, - Devlin commented.
