Emma opened her mouth slightly, and looked at the girl in front of her in astonishment, her blood began to rush wildly. She got it, she got it at last!

In the recruitment announcement of Hard Fruit Candy, the stage performance experience was mentioned. But almost everyone ignored this point, just thinking that this was Lance's consistent request. However, everyone has forgotten that since the girls required this time are too young, it is obviously unrealistic to have solid stage skills, but Lance specifically mentioned this matter, obviously meaning something.

Emma has a little touch, so during her performance just now, she deliberately used the stage space, paced back and forth, and then made full use of body language and lines to express emotions. Emma also chose that part of the content intentionally. She felt that the emotions in this part were richer and fuller, and there was a brewing process, which was more effective for the performance.

But the girl in front of her did it better. The passage chosen by the girl has a relatively single emotion, which is a unilateral venting of emotions. Resentment and anger are the core of the entire line. Emma originally thought that this line was explosive enough, but it was not delicate enough. But in fact, when the girl acted, she deliberately exaggerated it, or it was dramatized. She used the changes in the rhythm and severity of the lines to achieve the purpose of controlling the performance, and at the same time fully showed her explosive side. .

In the sunlight projected down, you can even clearly see the traces of the girl's mouth splashing, and the impassioned performance is even a bit hideous. From a close perspective, it seems a bit too exaggerated, from body language to facial expressions to lines. , are all the same; but on the overall stage, the dramatic effect just rightly released Haili's inner emotions.

Emma has read the entire script, and she knows that the whole story is a one-man show between Jeff and Hailey. This is like a stage, or it is restrained to the extreme, using streamlined body movements to restrain all emotions and leave it to the camera. Telling, this is more of the expression of European art works; or walking on the line between exaggeration and accuracy, making emotions dramatic, filling the camera with performances, this is more of American art works like the way.

Judging from the script of Hard Candy, the story itself is full of thrills and conflicts, so it's no surprise that Lance chose the latter.

This is the real reason why Lance insists on stage performance experience.

The girl's performance just now can't be said to be retractable, but it is indeed ups and downs and relaxed. It really shows Haili's inner resentment and anger, and truly appreciates the director's reality hidden behind the script. intention.

Emma didn't know whether her idea was correct, and she didn't know what Lance's creative thinking was, but she was sure that this girl's performance was better than her own, and it was much more exciting. If she were the director, she would also choose this girl, not herself.

After realizing this, the pressure on the shoulders was relieved, not because of giving up, but because of self-knowledge. Emma knows that she still needs to continue to learn and work hard. She has just started on the path of acting, and it is becoming more and more interesting.

Emma begins to wonder if she should go and learn from the crew of Hard Candy, which is far more valuable than Sin City.

While thinking, Emma heard the strange voice from under the stage again, Your name, how old are you this year?

Ellen Paige, she just turned eighteen not long ago. The girl replied in a deep voice.

Eli-Monroe looked back at Lance who was sitting behind him, and asked in a low voice, I think she's pretty good, what do you think?

Eli officially joined Chaos Films not long ago. To be precise, he joined because of the Hard Candy crew. Prior to this, he has been cooperating with Focus Pictures for a long time. As a casting director, he has become the hero behind many successful independent works. He is 36 years old this year and has been rolling in Hollywood for nearly ten years.

He heard from his old friend Newton Siegel that Lance, who is now in the limelight, needs a casting director. Although Lance has filmed four films before, the casting director has not been fixed. Now Lance hopes to find a long-term cooperation partner, not only for his works, but also for other works of Chaos Films. Newton and Lance have worked together on three works, especially as the lighting engineer, in Murder with a Borrower, he said, Working with Lance is the hardest job in the world, but give me one more I am not willing to give up the opportunity. This moved Eli's heart.

Eli recommended himself to the door, and he and Lance talked for nearly six hours. The two sides exchanged many ideas, disagreements, and consensus. In the end, Eli decided to join Chaos Films, and his first job was Hard Candy.

Lance didn't say much, but nodded in the affirmative. So Eli turned his head and said, Your performance is over, next one.

Lance looked at Allen who was bathed in the light, his thin body looked very thin, and his face without makeup revealed a calmness that didn't match his age. If it weren't for the hands behind his back that revealed the tension in her heart, she It doesn't look like there are any flaws.

In fact, Lance had already prepared the audition materials for today. He knew that the role of Hailey was not easy to play, and among girls aged 16 to 18, geniuses were still a minority. He couldn't place his hopes on it. Yu didn't know if Alan would show up, so he designed today's audition.

A thick stack of information means that the actors have to make a choice, how to cut in from three different angles, and integrate their own understanding of the role. Most people may not be able to read the first five pages, which means that their audition will be difficult to start, very nervous, and even act randomly; some people may skip directly to the end, and then contribute according to their understanding of the role. A performance, but some people may browse through it at a glance and summarize their own thoughts... There is no one correct answer, but there is no doubt that everyone's choice determines the actor's performance temperament and fit with the role Spend.

In a crisis situation, making the choice that suits you best is the first hurdle of the audition; second is to give play to one’s own strengths in a difficult situation, which is the second hurdle of the audition; finally, it is also decisive. That's how good their performances are.

As for the content on the bulletin board, it is actually confusing and has no real meaning. Of course, it would be great if someone could read the hidden message behind the bulletin board and incorporate it into their performance.

Judging from the auditions so far today, three-quarters of the first level has been cleared, and two-thirds of the remaining people have fallen in the second level. Those who can really meet the requirements of the three levels are less than three-quarters. twenty.

In this set of performances just now, Emma really made Lance's eyes shine. Emma's performance has a step-by-step process. The foreshadowing and conveying of emotions is not only precise but also delicate. It can be seen that she has indeed made great progress and has conducted in-depth research on the role, but Emma's performance still lacks strength when playing such a character with a dark heart, especially the last sentence love / child / fetish, which is explosive enough Yes, but there is no soul-devouring courage in her eyes, which also means: based on Emma's current acting skills, it is still difficult for Emma to play such a role with too much contrast.

If it was a positive role, the result would be different.

As for Allen, Allen Page, who won the role in the previous life. Lance was not happy because of the name, he carefully observed Allen's performance.

It is undeniable that Allen's performance is very full. From the details to the explosion, she has shown the potential of an excellent actor. The most important thing is that she has read the information behind the stage play, which is the only one so far today. one of. But was Allen's audition just perfect? Obviously not.

Allen's performance is still too heavy, his lines are too deliberate, full of emotions, but it doesn't fit the characters; in addition, the rhythm of Allen's performance is not balanced, which is not as clever as Emma's control. However, Allen has the madness and darkness that Emma does not have. The last line did not exist in the script, but Allen blurted it out, as if he could see the god of death raising his scythe behind her.

This kind of bloodthirsty and crazy temperament is exactly what is needed in Hard Candy.

Even though many things have changed, some things will remain the same. If nothing else, Allen is still Hayley's first choice in Lance's mind.

The performance of the remaining six girls didn't have much to remember, and they were completely compared to the two girls, Alan and Emma.

The audition was over soon, Emma took a deep look at the direction Lance was in, and then took a step. After returning to the backstage, Emma stopped, looked around, and then walked forward, Hi, I'm Emma Stone. Your performance just now was really wonderful.

Allen looked at Emma's right hand in front of him, showed an embarrassed smile, raised his hands, palms full of sweat, God, I'm glad it's finally over. Such a calm action, Emma couldn't help laughing, Your performance just now made me break out in a cold sweat. I thought our part of the performance was going to be repeated, and I thought to myself: It's terrible, this girl is going to kill the audience in seconds.

The words mixed with foul language were so approachable, Emma laughed heartily, According to politeness, should I say that your performance is also very exciting now?

Alan wiped his hands on his jeans, and then held Emma's right hand, No, your actions have already said it. The two girls exchanged a glance, and then both laughed, holding their right hands tightly Together.
