Chapter 55 "The Departed" Audition

The entertainment industry is always inseparable from the gangsters, and the film industry is the same.The film studios of the golden age of Hollywood are inseparable from the shadow of the gangster.To put it bluntly, movies are a thing that burns money. Hollywood movie giants are backed by powerful consortiums. They don't have considerable strength in black and white, so don't expect to become bigger and stronger.

As a public figure, a celebrity has a large number of followers, and their quality is uneven. Most of them are troubled by crazy fans.Some things cannot be put on the table, and can only be dealt with by some people in the gray area.This has led to the entanglement of certain private relationships.

Lin Chuchu has experienced strong winds and waves, and knows these powerful relationships.She asked Vogt to visit her brother in San Francisco, just to make him a familiar face, so that he would not be too abrupt if he needed help from such forces in the future.

All boys are curious about gangsters, and Vogt is no exception.The grandmother's background is very mysterious and exciting to the younger generation, full of indescribable attraction.

A trip to San Francisco under the banner of "experience life" was an eye-opener for Vogt.

So much so that Martin Scorsese and Leonardo DiCaprio were surprised to see him at the audition for The Departed!

Leonardo stared at the cut on his right eyebrow and the bandaged left hand, and blurted out: "Did you fall?"

"Try to throw one..." Vogt gave him a speechless look, and said lightly, "I went to a slum..." In fact, under the persistent crackdown by the government, the current gangsters have become more low-key than before. a lot of.The members Vogt saw in San Francisco's Zhigongtang looked less like street gangsters than high-achieving students from prestigious schools.The uncles took good care of him. Even if he was allowed to "experience life", they would carefully cover up his appearance to ensure that his experience was kept airtight.Vogt's injury came from a scuffle with the Vietnamese gang in a slum area.Although everyone asked him to leave at the time, how could he leave them alone and run away alone after receiving a lot of care?So the blood was on the brain, and I joined decisively!

Afterwards, he was rushed back to Los Angeles, and was scolded by his grandmother Lin Chuchu.The people at the uncle's side had a very good impression of him, and said to Lin Chuchu: "As expected of your grandson, he is so courageous..." He disapproved of his impulsive and impulsive behavior, but actually praised his bravery. I have a good impression of well-trained skills.

It's not the kind of soft-bodied, arrogant dude who doesn't know the heights of the sky and the earth, who is weak-legged and vulnerable when things happen!very good!

"Experience life" is over, and Vogt still has some unfinished feelings about this short experience. Unfortunately, even though his uncle and the others sincerely invited him, his grandmother still declined the proposal of "Let Vogt come to play again".Lin Chuchu was terrified when she saw the injury on her grandson's body and the eagerness in her eyes, and she was afraid that Vogt would not think about it for a while and really went to the underworld.

Fortunately, the Christmas holiday is approaching, and the audition for "The Departed" has already been scheduled. Lance will not allow Vogt to have any more accidents.

Vogt had to honestly think about the role while recovering from his injuries. By the time of the audition, his injuries were still not fully healed, but the impact was not great.

There is a huge difference between having actual experience and imagining something out of thin air.Both Martin and Leonardo noticed the subtle change in Vogt's temperament.

Although Leonardo also lived in the slums for a week in order to shape the character, it is obviously inferior to Vogt's "full-hearted devotion".With Vogt's enthusiasm, Martin felt better about him.

The selection of the audition is very interesting. It is the scene where the hero Billy gives psychological counseling to the heroine Madeleine.As an undercover agent of the police, Billy works under the gang leader Frank Castro who has committed many crimes and commits all kinds of crimes. He faces a series of crimes that challenge his psychological limits every day. His senses, the enormous pressure kept him awake at night.He is unwilling to choose drug use, a solution method that will only sink himself into the abyss. In order to get tranquilizers, he would rather choose a psychiatrist.

At the beginning, Billy was full of defense and resistance when facing Madeleine who was a psychiatrist. He was not used to spreading himself out in front of others and revealing his privacy. There are too many reservations and deceptions.In order to escape, he even tried to dissect the other party in order to regain the initiative.But the heavy psychological pressure drove him to desperately want someone to confide in.And Madeleine, he had a hunch that maybe she could trust...

Martin doesn't like to play tricks, and the only auditions are Leonardo and Vogt.He just had them play opposite each other, with one playing Madeleine and one playing Billy, and then the roles were reversed.They have to show not only Billy's complicated psychology, but also the hidden attraction between Billy and Madeleine.It is said that this was Martin's inspiration after watching Vogt perform Travis, the protagonist of "Taxi Driver", when he saw Leonardo as Bessie.

Leonard & Vogt: Did the director forget that they were both men?

Martin asked, "Let's start without a problem!"
