super actress

At that moment, Rebecca Hall's expression changed so obviously that even Claire Dennis, who was sitting on the other side, felt that something was wrong. She was looking at Rhea, who came last, with a trace of curiosity in her eyes.

"Hello, I'm Rhea Nolen. I went to Rebecca's school as an exchange student for three months." Noticing that Claire was looking at herself, Rhea also greeted her and explained by the way Find out why you met Rebecca.

After hearing Rhea speak, Claire breathed a not-so-obvious relief, "I'm Claire Dennis."

Rhea is also an American girl. When she saw Rebecca, Claire was still worried that the film studio actually wanted an Englishman to play Juliet. Now Claire’s worries about this aspect have been reduced, but she has a new crisis. Feeling, this later blonde girl looks too prominent.

"I thought you had already returned to Weber." Even though Rebecca recovered quickly, the expression still made the atmosphere stiff, so she tried to remedy it, "Rhea, your hair has grown a lot."

Fiddled with her blonde hair cooperatively, Rhea didn't mean to embarrass Rebecca, so she answered naturally: "Yeah, I never cut it again."

Although Rhea was the last to come, she managed to get in between the two girls with a few paragraphs. She and Claire Dennis were both Americans, and she shared a dormitory with Rebecca Hall. Although all three of them are competing with each other, they will subconsciously draw closer to Rhea who has more in common in comparison with the other person.

They were all here to compete for the same role, and the girls had nothing to talk about, so they sat down and studied the script after getting to know each other politely.

The above lines are basically the same as Shakespeare's original work, which has certain advantages for Rhea who is familiar with the original play, but she is certainly not the only one who has read the original play.

After looking around between the two girls, Rhea found an interesting thing. Claire was afraid of being the only Englishman among them, and Rebecca was more vigilant after experiencing the previous experience in Brighton Rodin Rhea.

And Rhea herself thinks that Claire is the most threatening to her, and her work resume is still too thin. Among them, Claire, who already has a representative work, is undoubtedly more likely to win the favor of the director.

This just formed a triangular chain of mutual checks and balances, so the atmosphere seemed harmonious instead.

There is no particular order, they are arranged alphabetically, so the first one to enter is Claire Dennis, the second is Rebecca, and Rhea is the last.

The most nervous one is Rebecca. She had a cameo role in her father's movie when she was a child, but this is the first time she has participated in this kind of formal audition. What makes her even more difficult to calm down is that Rhea Noren!

Even Claire couldn't put more pressure on Rebecca. The shadow Rhea left on her was too deep, and the crush from beginning to end could not be forgotten in such a short time.

At the beginning, she didn't think much of Rhea, an exchange student from the United States, and Rebecca even looked down on the drama clubs in those schools in the United States. Who would have thought that Rhea was the accident that could break all prejudices.

Even after Rhea left Rodin, Rebecca could still hear each other's name.

Teresa Thicke would bring it up, the school troupe would bring it up, her classmates would talk about it, even her father, Peter Hall, would pop a compliment out of his mouth, Rebecca wanted It is difficult to forget.

Even her interview reports were obtained after Rhea refused. This sense of gap is what makes Rebecca most uncomfortable.

If she hadn't snatched Juliet in the play, if Rhea hadn't gone back to America at that time, Rebecca really didn't know who her father would recommend.

"You are the Juliet from Rodin Girls' School." Seeing Rebecca come in, Baz Luhrmann smiled at her, and he could see a trace of Peter Howe's expression on this young and beautiful face. "I've read the papers, and you've gotten a lot of good reviews, Rebecca."

"Yes." Sensing the director's kindness towards her, Rebecca relaxed slightly, and of course she would not tell him the truth about those reports, "In order to prepare for this drama, I also studied the original version of " Romeo and Juliet, I memorized all of Juliet's lines."

After Rebecca spoke, the lady sitting next to Baz Luhrmann frowned imperceptibly.

She is Julie Anchar, an executive of the [-]th Century Fox Film Company. Although the film was produced by Luhrmann himself, Fox also invested money and was responsible for distribution. With such a mistake in the role, Fox certainly has the right to intervene in the recasting of Juliet.

"Really, you memorized all the lines?" Luhrmann's reaction was completely opposite, he was a little enthusiastic

Some, and asked, "Is it the Old English version?"

Rebecca shook her head hesitantly, "But I think I can master it quickly, and I'm also good at Latin—"

"No matter how many languages ​​you know, it won't give you extra points. Juliet is not a linguist either. Why don't you perform a part for us first." Julie Anchar interrupted Rebecca's self-promotion.

Rebecca was not a dull person, she was keenly aware that among the four, Julie Anchar liked her the least.

The other two, one is Chuck Bright, a representative from the Screen Actors Union, and the other is the leading actor in this movie. When Rebecca first walked in, the first thing Rebecca saw was Leonard who played Romeo Do DiCaprio, she had seen his films in England.

Leonardo is very handsome on the screen, and in reality he is not inferior to the screen image, sitting in the audition room is like having a halo, which is particularly eye-catching.

It was director Luhrmann's consideration to call the leading actor over for the audition. He must not make the same mistake again. The last time Juliet and Leonardo had no sparks, this time Juliet must not do the same.

After letting Rebecca play Juliet's confession alone, Luhrmann arranged for her and Leonardo to play the classic love between Juliet and Romeo.

Rebecca has been studying at Rodin Girls' School in Brighton since the age of 13, and she has little exposure to boys, so when facing Leonardo, her shyness and shyness don't even need acting skills to show , so pure and touching, when she stares at each other with those brown eyes, she seems to be talking, acting out Juliet's surprise and love instead of her lines.

This Romeo was taller and handsomer, a real male, with short golden-brown hair that set off a pair of blue-green eyes with a shimmering light, more passionate and aggressive than the other pair of blue-green eyes.

Yes, Rebecca couldn't help thinking of another Romeo, that was a girl of her age, slender and delicate, her blonde hair would cast a melancholy shadow on her translucent white skin, her left and right pairs were slightly The blue eyes with color difference are quiet and glamorous, but they can convince everyone when expressing love.

Even Rebecca, who doesn't like Rhea the most, can't say no to Romeo like that.

She has seen the handsome and affectionate Romeo under the moonlit night, and now she has seen the handsome and heroic Romeo under the sun. Rebecca has no right to say that Leonardo's acting is not good.

In fact, he easily controlled the entire rhythm in this rivalry scene, but for a brief moment when they looked at each other, Rebecca felt as if she had returned to the school stage.

The blond boy in a silk shirt and a vintage coat held her in his arms. He was so gentle and beautiful, but he still managed to make people believe that he was a boy and not a girl.

Like magic, the blond hair that always bothered Rebecca was no longer dazzling, and the blue eyes of different shades on the left and right were no longer strange. That Romeo had a feminine face and a handsome figure. Will climb the ridiculous prop stairs of the school stage to compliment her beauty, as if he wasn't at all nice himself.

After the curtain ended, there was thunderous applause from the audience. Rebecca knew who the applause and cheers were for, but she was not at all as angry as her mother, Maria Ivan, because it was dedicated to Romeo.

But when Rhea, who had left her role, returned to the backstage, Rebecca felt uncontrollably disgusted again. Although she was still dressed and looked the same, she knew that it was not Romeo.

Romeo is passionate and sincere, while Rhea is calm and restrained. Whether the attitude of the girls at Rodin Girls' School is hostile or fond of intimacy, Rhea doesn't care. This American is like a damn perfect saint, possessing countless things that Rebecca desires.

What Rebecca knows better is that Rhea is not Romeo, and she will never fall in love with Juliet, because she is here to compete for Juliet.

"Very good." Baz Luhrmann stopped quite satisfied, he saw Rebecca from Leonardo, "Like father, like daughter, Peter really should have let you participate in the filming earlier from here."

Withdrew from Leonardo's arms, Rebecca thanked the male lead and the director with mixed emotions. Her audition part has ended. As a newcomer, she performed very well, but this excellence is based on her zero experience of.

To be honest, no matter how much the director seemed to like her, Rebecca still had no confidence, because she knew that Rhea's audition was next.

If she had to lose, she would rather lose to Rhea Nolen than Claire Danes.

"Rebecca Hall did a good job, she actually exceeded my expectations." After the actor went out, Luhrmann briefly exchanged with others, "She is closer to Juliet in age, younger. "

"And even more inexperienced." Fox representative Julie Anchar frowned slightly, "Her British

Too much accent, Buzz. "

As an Australian director who came to Hollywood to develop, Luhrmann is still very sensitive to this kind of issue, and he reacted as soon as Julie Anchar mentioned it.

British aristocrats look down on American commoner girls, and Hollywood still prefers native white beauties. Fox Films must prefer to choose Americans to act in movies.

Luhrmann turned to Leonardo, who had played with both actresses, for support. "What do you think, Leo?"

"Isn't there another Juliet?" The young and handsome actor leaned back on the chair, not going to stand aside for the time being, his blue-green eyes flashed with a sly light, "Romeo must see all his lovers , to make a choice.”

Chuck Bright, the representative of the Screen Actors Union, who is responsible for ensuring the fairness of the audition, also spoke: "Then let the last girl come in."

In fact, Luhrmann prefers to choose between Claire and Rebecca. Claire is more intelligent, while Rebecca is more youthful and cute. These two Juliets have already made him quite satisfied. As for the last Rhea Nolen Well, Luhrmann actually didn't have any hope, he had seen all kinds of Juliets in this period of time.

It is not good to be at the bottom. The people in front have already demonstrated various advantages. Unless they are really talented or have their own characteristics, they will be easily overshadowed by the brilliance of their predecessors. The finale is not Well done.

Luhrmann's interest is now a little lower than at the beginning.

He was slightly surprised, however, when a third, blond Juliet, entered.

Unlike the impression given by the photos on her resume, the real Rhea Noren is more beautiful than that photo. Her hair is shorter than the photo, and her eyes are brighter than the photo. When she walked into this audition room When I was there, I was not stage fright at all, I just showed myself to them naturally and generously.

Luhrmann's memory is very good, he recognized it immediately, "You are that Romeo!"

"Hey, Romeo is here." Leonor raised his hand mischievously, indicating that he is the leading actor.

Glancing at him amusedly, Luhrmann looked back at Rhea Noren, "Did you play Romeo and Juliet with Rebecca?"

He glanced at the newspaper that Peter Hauer gave him. What impressed Luhrmann most was the photo of Prince William presenting flowers to Romeo. As a director who pays attention to the style of the picture, Luhrmann admired the light, shadow and color , a person with such sharp image contrast

The physical photos, and that Romeo's appearance is also amazing.

The melancholy and soulfulness of the blond Romeo is very touching, but it is softer than the image of Romeo in Luhrmann's imagination.

If he didn't know that Romeo in the girls' school could only be a girl, Luhrmann would really think that a new generation of Bern Anderson came out of the UK. The Romeo in that photo is indeed like the beautiful boy in "Broken Venice" Beautiful and delicate.

When looking at Rhea's resume, Luhrmann didn't recognize her, because she had dyed red chestnut hair in "Lolita" before, and now she has grown back bright blonde hair, which is more conspicuous and gorgeous, so Luhrmann Mann reacted immediately.

"Yes, I went to Brighton Rodin as an exchange student before. Rebecca played Juliet, and I was her Romeo." Rhea smiled at the director, with the impression of Romeo added, Ruhe Man feels a little better about her,

Coupled with Leonardo's joke, the atmosphere in the audition room became much better.

Julie Anchar looked at Rhea with interest, "You played Romeo in reverse?" There was a trace of suspicion in the eyes of the smartly dressed professional woman looking at the bright blonde beauty.

But it's better than being indifferent, at least they all have curiosity about Rhea now.

"It may sound a little strange, but I heard about you from Rebecca's father, Peter Hall, and he told me that Romeo was brilliant in that scene."

As a result, even Chuck Bright, the representative of the Screen Actors Guild, was aroused.

Leonardo interjected, half-jokingly, half-defiantly: "There can't be two Romeos here."

"Then you can rest assured that I'm here to audition for Juliet, not to rob Romeo from you." Rhea looked at her interviewers, the confidence that was naturally revealed infected others, and people could also appreciate her The joke returned the smile.

Like the previous two, Luhrmann asked Rhea to perform Juliet's confession first. Although he had a certain bias in his heart, he did things fairly.

Seeing the girl in front of him change her expression, demeanor, posture and temperament, Luhrman knew that she had entered the scene.
