[American Entertainment] The road to becoming a god

In the early morning two weeks later, the agent knocked on the door of Gasper's house. Today is the day Gasper went to audition.

"Good morning Adina."

It was Gaspar's eldest sister who opened the door, the child of their mother and a boxer, with the green eyes and brown hair of the mother, Sadie, and the shorter nose and slightly square jaw of the boxer.

"Good morning, Joe." Adina was biting two pieces of bread in her mouth, and she looked like she was about to go to school. She turned sideways to make way, and said vaguely, "Come in."

Joe entered the room and came to the dining table. Gaspar was having breakfast. He was sitting on the short side of the rectangular dining table. On his right were two younger sisters, Adina who was in middle school and Caris who was not yet in elementary school. They have the same father.On his left is his only brother Adam, the product of his mother Sadie and a black man who unfortunately died on the street when Adam was less than a year old.

Sadie didn't show up, and Jo guessed she might still be asleep, or not come back at all.

"Give me another minute." Gaspar said vaguely, and quickly stuffed the breakfast into his mouth.Their breakfast is very simple, milk and special cereals, only the youngest sister has a fried egg and a piece of bread.

"You don't need to worry." Joe leaned against the door frame, he glanced at his watch, "We still have two hours."

"I know, but the sooner the better."

Gaspar rushed upstairs immediately after eating the last bite of cereal, and returned ten seconds later with his coat and a blond wig.

"I think you're ready," Joe said, "Come on, best ever."

……

The role that Gaspar is auditioning for today is the nineteenth-century French poet, Rimbaud.

The name of the movie is "Total Eclipse of the Heart". It is a biographical feature film. It was originally tailor-made for Rui Fan-Phoenix. Such resources were not available to Gaspar anyway, but in the system With the help of the agent, the agent pretended to meet one of the producers and had a hot fight with him, so Gaspar had a chance to audition.

Gaspar watched the future film through the system, starring Leonardo DiCaprio.Of course he knows Leonardo, the youngest Mr. Golden Globe, and the future 'Jack' who will be popular all over the world

The future mechanical lifeform is so powerful that if it is not damaged, it can directly make Gaspar the protagonist, but until it is repaired, Gaspar and the agent can only use limited resources to achieve their goals.

That's enough, Gaspar thought confidently, I'm sorry Mr. Leonardo, this role is mine.

……

The director and the producer and some concept designers were in the room, and they set up the machine and aimed it in all directions where the show would start in a while, which is the way from the door opening to the chairs in front.

The two assistants were sorting out the documents on the table. They had just seen a boy who came to audition. To be honest, his acting skills were good, but the director said he was too cute. It was true. Everyone in the room thought so. .

Director Holland took off his glasses and rubbed between his brows. He insisted on his opinion that Leonardo DiCaprio was exactly the person he was looking for, and he was Rimbaud.

In view of his regret that he could not see Phoenix's performance, he gave Leonardo the first place.

But he can't say anything, he has expectations for the next audition.

"Jasper Cook is here, sir." An assistant opened the curtain and said to the director, "Would you like him to change?"

"No, let him come over directly and try some lines first." The director said.

"The part just now?"

"No, give him Rimbaud's first long line, the one where Rimbaud talks about his ideas at the dining table at Verlaine's house... yes... that's the part."

……

David Thewlis is a dedicated actor. He was determined to be Verlaine's actor early on, so when the director selected Rimbaud, he was also present to put forward appropriate opinions, so as to choose the best partner for him in the future. Candidates.

After watching Leonardo's performance, he couldn't remember the next audition. There is no doubt that Leonardo is Rimbaud.

But this one, this kid who came to the audition made his eyes shine.

Gaspar, like Rimbaud in the plot, is 16 years old and has a flamboyant and unruly personality.

The blond boy in a light brown windbreaker in front of him sat back on the chair and looked at him with his hands propped up, his eyes full of agility.

"The poems you sent me were amazing for a 21-year-old, and unprecedented for a 16-year-old." Hughes said his lines.

"That's why I say I'm 21," the teenager said with arrogance. "I don't want you to feel condescended before you read them (poems)."

Sunlight is a very penetrating thing. They pass through the curtains and sprinkle randomly in the room.

And the boy sitting at the table replaced the sun and became the most dazzling.

……

"Gaspar is not bad. Using him may not fail to capture Rimbaud's demeanor, and it can also save part of the budget."

"Yes, you should look at the eyes of our staff just now. They all think Rimbaud is a little bastard, but this (actor), he is a lovable little bastard."

"Maybe he's better than Leonardo."

As the director listened to the conversations of colleagues next to him, the balance in his heart seemed to be blown by the wind and began to shake, but it could not affect anything after all.He maintained his opinion on the role selection, and Leonardo was still the only one.

Gaspar's Rimbaud is still a bit out of harmony.So what is the problem?

Holland called his assistant and whispered that he really liked the kid named Gaspar, and his performance was really great, but when he thought of how disappointed the kid would be if he told him that he was not Rimbaud's candidate, Holland was full of emotion. For pity, he wanted to help him.

……

Gaspar sat outside, feeling uneasy, and when the assistant told him that the director wanted him to wait a little longer, he was even more uneasy.

A staff member gave him a magazine to entertain him. Gaspar spread it on his lap and turned the pages from time to time, but he didn't read a single word or picture.

He just acted like Leonardo in the finished film, there is no reason why it should not be successful, Gaspar thought, is the system wrong?

With apprehension, Gaspar waited until three o'clock in the afternoon. After three o'clock, all problems seemed to disappear.Because he saw Leonardo's performance on the spot, that version of Rimbaud had a completely different feeling from his poor imitation.

Half an hour ago, Leonardo entered beside Gaspar.

Seeing it for the first time made Gaspar think of retreating, it was truly astonishing.

With the breeze and the fragrance of flowers, the person who came was not Leonardo, but Rimbaud.He has the unruliness of a teenager and the free and easy style of a poet, and they are mixed together to form a more charming atmosphere.

This golden boy, who is popular and well-known in Hollywood among his peers and even super-agers, is wearing a long brown coat. He is handsome and charming. You can use all the beautiful words and compliments on him.

Gaspar hesitated, how could he compete with such a perfect person for the same role, what to use to compete, just by imitating him?

"Hey, what are you staring at me for?"

A clear voice rang in Gaspar's ear, it's over, peeping was discovered.

"Ah no, I mean uh..." Gaspar suddenly couldn't find his tongue, he looked up and smiled awkwardly, "I'm sorry."

[Leo!Are you there, come in! 】

"The director is calling me," Leonardo smiled charmingly, "I'm going in."

"Well, I wish you well..." Before Gaspar finished speaking, the blond boy in front of him rushed in, so he withdrew the second half of the sentence. As the future male lead of "Total Eclipse of the Heart", Lai Leonardo didn't seem to need his blessing either.

【Jasper, come in too! 】

Um?And his business?Gaspar quickly followed in.

Inside, Leonardo greeted the director, and Gaspar was a little at a loss, watching the clip of the director giving the script to the heartthrob and listening to their conversation. He really couldn't figure out what he was doing.

But it was indeed the director who asked him to come in just now, Gaspar lowered his head slightly, looking at the floor beside his feet.Leonardo naturally sat on the actor's chair and began to look through, and the director turned to Gaspar.

"Come, come here." The director said gently.

Gaspar walked over, "Mr. Holland, what is going on?"

"Shhh—" the director mysteriously pushed another script with a plastic cover to him, then pulled him to sit beside him, pointed to Leonardo in front of him, "sit down, and watch."

Gaspar blinked and began to re-read the script beside the director.

The director wanted him to watch Leonardo's performance?

What does it mean?humiliation?Or simply teaching?

then--

He didn't have time to think about that, because Leonardo's performance was what he wanted to achieve.

Before seeing Leonardo, Gaspar was still thinking about it, but after that he suddenly figured out that he was not playing Rimbaud at all, he was playing Leonardo in Rimboppi.

His own performance has his shadow, and Gaspar realized that it is not a good choice to watch the film in advance from the system.After watching the film, I have preconceived ideas, so it is difficult to have my own understanding. In the end, this behavior became a shameful theft.

So when the Righteous Lord appeared, he appeared in a panic.

Gaspar sighed, and before the director could speak, he conceded defeat, "He is Rimbaud, I have nothing to say, this role should be his."

Director Holland looked at Gaspar in surprise, with undisguised admiration in his eyes: "You are also great if you dare to admit the excellence of others."

"Thank you director." Gaspar stood up and bowed to the director, "I think I should go."

Holland stood up and shook his hand. "You are really good, Gasper. I mean acting, not just character. It's a pity that you are not Rimbaud we are looking for."

……

Gaspar came out from the inside in frustration, and Joe was waiting at the door, smoking a cigarette and chatting with his assistant. Seeing Gaspar coming out, he quickly put out his cigarette and went up to him.

But Joe didn't ask about the result. He had already seen it on Gaspar's face, and it might not be ideal.

"What to do, Joe, it's only two weeks until Christmas." Gasper said desperately, he used the system wrongly, causing himself to look like a Leonardo knockoff, and those who saw his performance may not know where he is. How do you arrange him in your heart?

"That's okay, we have others." Joe said, Phoenix's resources are not limited to this one.

But at this moment, Holland's assistant ran out, handed Gaspar a note and said, "This is what the director asked me to give you."

After thanking Gaspar, he opened the note, and was pleasantly surprised to find that the name of director Richard Linklater and a string of phone numbers were written on it.

"This is my friend. His crew is also recruiting recently. I think you will be very suitable."
