CHAPTER 10, GAME OUTSIDE AUDITION

The atmosphere froze for a while.

Dennis said: "Okay, that's the end of today's audition. Thank you for the performance, Miss Horton, and we will have someone to inform you of the audition results, after three working days. "

Josie was just sent away.

As soon as she went out, her agent Martha greeted her.

This is Josie's first real film audition, so the agent deliberately took the time to come over, and there will probably be no such treatment in the future.

"Normal play?" Like every parent who cares about their children's grades, Martha asked.

"I think I'm pushing too hard." Josie folded her hands and was moving her ten-finger knuckles, "I should choose a more introductory piece, Liszt's super-technical etudes are too difficult and not very consistent with the character." "

Martha didn't expect this, because outside she heard only a near-perfect performance and enthusiastic applause from the room, which made the remaining girls who did not have their turn to audition fidget.

"It's not like you." Martha said that when it comes to getting along, she thinks Josie is the kind of person who is prepared for everything.

Josie raised her eyebrows slightly, her face did not see anything unusual, and replied: "Oh, don't be like this, Martha, I'm only sixteen, aren't I?" Occasionally I don't look like me very much, which is probably youth. "

To be honest, she didn't like the kind of gaze of those people just now.

Or, the emotions that belonged to another Josie would pop up from time to time and make her affected.

She should have realized this, but in fact, she didn't really care.

Martha saw no abnormality.

She also didn't think about the possibility that Josie could be mesmerizing with just one audition, she just nodded and said, "It's okay, it's not the point of the audition, and you really play very moving." "

——It's a completely crushing level of performance, which is the best in the audience.

Josie didn't explain.

Piano, violin, and cello, these are the basic specialties that the so-called high society will generally prepare for children, as well as guzheng, flute and the like, anyway, basically no one will play nao or tuba.

Speaking of which, Josie also knows a little guitar and a drum kit, which is a sultry weapon that an ex taught her.

Josie only said, "Thanks for the compliments, but this is only our first round." "

However, their first round is already the second round for many, most girls are eliminated by casting directors or even just casting assistants in the primary selection, and the energy of CAA allows Josie to directly enter the second round, after which it is usually a formal audition with makeup.

Martha blushed and said, "Of course, I'm sure you can make it to the final audition list." "

The audition is over, but the fight for the role has just begun.

The "big guys" in the room, one after another, watched all the girls who auditioned for Beth's performance, did not make a decision on the same day, but ended their work hours and went home separately, ready to deal with calls from all parties.

"Robin loves Josie's performance." That night, one of the producers of "Little Women", Dennis . Pedicle. Novi is working with his friend, a CAA agent Archie. Dano call.

Despite being collectively referred to as producers, Dennis and Robin have different positions in the crew, with Robin more like a producer.

Their functions are slightly different, the former grasps the tone of the film, ensures the quality of the work, shooting progress and daily operation, and the latter focuses more on the control of the general direction and the operation of funds.

So Robin's voice in casting is greater than Dennis.

"But her piano playing is a little too much, everyone can see that there is an unruly heart under this girl's sweet appearance, and Winona's face changed on the spot." He added, "It's just a small flaw, Joe and Beth have something in common." "

If you don't consider the actor's fame, resume, and acting skills, Josie, who plays Liszt's famous "Harmony of the Night", may be able to try to play Joe, because she bursts out with the brilliance of the heroine when she plays, free, passionate, fearlessly burning, and returning to the tranquility of the soul.

Beth's feeling is weak, and although the two sisters are equally strong, Beth's traits are more reflected in selfless love in spirit, closer to a saint than to an ordinary person with fireworks.

Thankfully, Josie's face is "Beth".

The stubborn heroism in Winona is temporarily absent from Josie, and it is also an irreplaceable part of the former's personal temperament.

"Robin just took the tape you sent from me." Dennis smiled and couldn't help but ask: "Where did CAA find such a girl?" Not only is she young and beautiful and can act, but most importantly she is very infectious, somewhat similar to an Australian actor I saw before, a talent that only a few people have. "

Such praise comes from the mouth of a senior producer in the industry, which can be said to be a high evaluation of the actor.

However, everything has a but.

Dennis said, "But, Claire. Dennis is also excellent, you better be prepared. "

CAA's Death Star Mansion.

Archie thanked him, hung up the phone, and turned his head with a dejected expression, almost making one think that the other end of the phone had brought the worst bad news.

His colleague, Lady Miller, was standing by the floor-to-ceiling window two meters away from him, arms folded, no joy or anger on her face, still maintaining her usual elegance and indifference, like a young and majestic queen.

"Tell me, what's the situation." Martha asked.

Archie pouted and couldn't help but roll his eyes.

"You owe me once." He reminded rather displeased, "Does she have a co-agent?" "

Martha didn't answer, just promised: "I will remember this favor, Archie, don't worry." "

Archie gave Martha a blank look before he spread his hands and said, "Oh, Dennis is so obsessed with your girl, hell, it's the first time I've heard him praise a girl so actively - why isn't she my client?" "

Martha smiled a little and asked rhetorically: "Then you have to ask yourself why you dislike Mick. Jones stuffed over the relationship household. "

"I really want to go back in time and knock myself out." Archie gasped exaggeratedly, "If the relationships are all of this level, what if I haven't studied acting, I'm willing to sign ten, and it's a little busy." "

In the face of his exaggerated compliments, Martha just smiled and didn't really take it to heart.

Archie asked again: "But aren't you really worried, Martha, this rich second generation has no career, maybe just come out and go back to inherit the family business, it will be regrettable." "

"Don't worry about it, why think about what happens after you become famous before you become famous." Martha took out a thin lady's cigarette from the cigarette box, squeezed it between her fingers, and urged: "Hurry up and get down to business, I still want to leave work early." "

Work?

There is no concept of off-duty in the profession of working as an agent, and everyone who survives the trial in the mailroom is a 24-hour standby model for many years, only a little better than the celebrity publicist, because most of the latter's work revolves around a bunch of stupid things and scandals, which is more exhausting.

Archie said reluctantly, "Congratulations, Robin likes her." "

Martha immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Then Archie laughed too: "But Claire. Dennis is also very optimistic, and I personally recommend that you check the details of this girl. "

Martha's face did not have the disappointment that Archie expected, but hooked her red lips, glanced at him meaninglessly, and smiled: "Very good, get ready to leave work." "

It is impossible to leave work.

Martha drove home, still thinking about work.

The role fight for "Little Women" is not over; The character Josie of "Emma Modern" is very important, and she has to be responsible for opening the joints for the next audition; Over at "Scars of Tears", Martha also plans to take the time to read Stephen by herself. King's original novel.

Not so long ago, a good character entered Martha's field of vision, that was the female number one in "Empire Record Line", but the powerful Liv backstage. Taylor has been parachuted into success, just like her famous flesh-and-blood mother, and behind this girl stands a large number of big names in the rock circle.

And with Liv. Taylor also starred in her father, Alicia of the Smith Spaceship MV. Silverstone, whose debut film won the MTV Movie Award that year, has excellent acting and appearance.

Not to mention the rightly red Winona. Rhett, Samantha. Marcis, the talented child star Christine who will transform in five years at most. Dunst, Christina. Ricky... It can be said that the actresses of Josie's generation are extremely competitive.

But at which age in Hollywood is the actress not competitive?

All Martha can do is to clear the obstacles and contain the threat for Josie, and the real responsibility for climbing to the top is up to herself.

Having what it takes to be a first-class star and actually being it are two different things.

Drew. Barrymore has any actor who breaks into Hollywood, wants to get a dream start, comes from an acting family, the great director Spielberg is her godfather, and a "E.T Alien" makes her red to purple.

But she began to drink heavily at the age of 9, became addicted to drugs at the age of 13, and in just a few years, Drew, who was still in adolescence, had gone through ups and downs, fell to the bottom of her life and career, and became a negative teaching material for Hollywood child stars.

Although a large part of the problem comes from Drew's strange parents, her own loss has also accelerated her depravity, and now most of them are playing precocious rebellious and sexy roles, almost forgetting the little girl with big blue eyes.

Martha reversed the car into the garage, and when she got out of the car, she had already taken out her slightly clumsy mobile phone and dialed the number.

Her voice came from the night: "Hello, Mr. Dawson, I'm Martha, Josie's agent. Miller. I want to ask how the film has been going on recently, what, Colombia has already talked about it with you, and it will be officially established soon? This is really good news to celebrate..."

Early the next morning, Martha received a fax.

She dialed Josie's number and said, "Claire. Dennis's grandfather was the dean of the Yale School of Art, a world-renowned school with great energy. She was by Judy. Foster personally recommended the audition. "

Josie was a little helpless, "I see. "

I can't play this game.

She didn't have time to unlock the spelling skill, and the other party came up to be Wang Fried.

Take a look at Yale University's Hollywood alumni list, a string of current outstanding actors, Judy. Foster, Meryl. Streep, Sigourney. Weaver, Sean. Pan... Oh, famous producer David. Geffen also taught courses at Yale, despite his own university career.

Moreover, she was very interested in "Claire. The name "Dennis" is also a little impressive.

"Wait, I remembered." Josie said as she thought back, "Her mother, Carla. Dennis was president of the Dalton Middle School's Parent-Teacher Association, and my application for admission at the time was rejected outright, well, the people thought my dad was a rogue, a scoundrel, and a jerk. "

To be honest, such an assessment is quite pertinent and tactful.

It's better than "murderers", "fraudsters", "thugs", "vampire demons" and so on.

Martha paused, "Eh, I'm sorry? "

"It's nothing, I don't care much about that right now." Josie poured herself a glass of boiled water and put it in her hand to cool, "Let's do your best later, I care more about Amy." Hecklin's film, what is her background? "

Martha glanced at the memo and replied: "New Yorker, NYU graduate, then admitted to AFI's directing training class, wrote and directed the "One Flew Over the Innocence" series, that "Open American Academy" is also famous, I assume you have seen Phoebe. Cates' classic red bikini image. She's the quintessential East Coaster, and Shirley, who became president after Paramount was acquired by Viacom last year. Lansing was under pressure to poach Amy out of Sony Columbia, giving her two film contracts and full autonomy for this, and also let Scott. Rudin personally pressed for her. "

Since "The Nuns Are Crazy" has swept the United States, Scott. Rudin has become one of Hollywood's well-deserved gold medal producers, and of course, he is also Shirley. Lansing poached, from Fox.

The female president of Paramount is worthy of being the first strong woman in Hollywood.

Josie nodded and said, "I know, if we defeat her, then we're half done, right, Martha." "

"So to speak." Martha reminded: "Ernest. Dawson, he is also an admitee to this training class. "

"Emmm, I guess they don't necessarily know each other." Josie isn't hopeful about Ernest's social attributes, "But I'll give it a call." We'd better start with other aspects, leave her family situation and private activities to you to inquire about, find out her preferences or find a chance to meet, I will rent Amy. Check back at the video of the film taken by Hecklin. "

Martha agreed.

Josie said again, "By the way, Markey. Mark invited me to his party. "

Martha asked, "What, is someone trying to see you?" "
