The top of fame and fortune [Comprehensive British and American]

"I'm very glad to see you participate in this audition, Miss Parker." Ms. Carly Kerry, who is also the writer and producer of "Thelma and Louise", first said to Erica.

Erica showed a perfectly natural smile, "I should be more grateful for being included in the interview list."

Her appearance is full of glamorous and sexy, but there is no sense of deliberate show off, but a clear and straightforward charm.

And this of course comes from Erika's deliberate effort to magnify her modern femininity, making her more in line with the film temperament of "Thelma and Louise".

The interviewers who presided over the audition, except for Ms. Carly Kerry, director Ridley Scott, and MGM studio directors.The other man was a somewhat familiar face to Erica. He had met her once at the audition for "The Godfather 2", Ellen Rosenberg, the representative of the Screen Actors Guild of America.

This is really a rare event. After all, in Hollywood, auditions of various sizes are constantly staged every day. At present, Erica has only participated in two auditions, but it happens that the same representative of the Screen Actors Union is the audition officer.

Is this just a coincidence?Erica couldn't help being suspicious.

And Ellen Rosenberg seemed to have a good impression of her, "Miss Parker, I look forward to seeing your outstanding performance again."

Rosenberg's words did not arouse any doubts from the other interviewers. It seems that before Erica entered the audition meeting, he may have talked about Erica's performance in the last audition to the other three members, and perhaps also said some compliments.

At least for now, the four audition officers cast their eyes on her, and they all seem to think that she is suitable for the time being.Compared with the strict and tense atmosphere Erica felt when she participated in the "Godfather 3" audition at the beginning of the month, it is much more gentle and relaxed.

And this may be one of the changes that followed after she developed from an unknown person to a well-known actor.

But Erica did not relax because of this. She remained calm and calm, listening to the audition request from the film director Ridley Scott, "I need you to act first." .”

This is not a short scene, so Director Scott went on to say, "I think you only received the script yesterday. I'm afraid you don't have much time to prepare. You can choose to read the script and audition."

Ridley Scott took the initiative to lower the difficulty of acting for Erica, and did not demand her with strict standards.

But Erica has always been strict with herself when it comes to the things that matter to her, so she smiled and said, "I remember this conversation."

This is a good answer, at least making the smiles on the faces of several interviewers look more sincere.

But Erika did not show a complacent expression for this. What is even surprising is that her smile, which was originally full of confidence and charm, gradually became a little timid and timid, even almost cautious—this is Selma. look.

To be precise, it is Selma's natural depression when facing her arrogant and unreasonable husband in her lonely and frustrated married life.

The audition officer was a little surprised by Erica's speed of entering the scene, and this change was really obvious. She was so precise, using only subtle changes in her expression, to quickly get close to the role.

Then, she began to speak the dialogue, raising her voice—

Thelma called her husband by name to keep him from being late for work in the morning, "Darryl? Darryl—come on honey—"

Following Erica's shout, Ridley Scott was a little surprised by her line skills. When she talked with the audition officer before, her voice was very calm and beautiful, as if she was able to handle everything with ease.But at this moment, she made her voice more sharp, and her tone was a little anxious and flustered, which perfectly fits the image of Selma's frustrated housewife.

In the movie dialogue, Selma's kind urging was met with a rude response from her husband, "Damn it, Selma, don't yell, I said I can't stand you yelling in the morning."

"I'm sorry, I just don't want you to be late." Erica said her apology with a nervous voice and no confidence.

She worked hard, trying to show a sweet smile, but she seemed a little stiff, "What do you want for dinner?"

"I don't care what I have for dinner. I probably won't go home for dinner. I'm busy at work on Friday." Selma's husband made no secret of his arrogance and indifference.

In this audition, Erica still had no counterparts, but because she often practiced multi-role switching alone at home, her precise grasp of non-physical performances was almost astonishing.

Then she continued to speak the dialogue, using a tone that tried her best to appear closer to the other party, as if she was relaxing and chatting, it was a little cute, and people couldn't help but smile, "It's strange, why so many people always choose to be in Rug shopping on Friday."

But what Selma got was a response from her husband showing off mixed with contempt, "Of course you can't understand, so fortunately you are not the district manager, but I am."

The scene is not complicated, but it quickly portrays the oppression of marriage on Selma, showing the injustice suffered by women, who are always asked to stay at home by men, but are despised as ignorant and stupid.

"You showed all the details I wanted accurately," screenwriter Carly Kerry praised her, but quickly said the next audition request, "Please continue to perform, the key scene in the middle of the movie-- Selma was stolen by J.D. for only 6000 yuan, Louis collapsed because of this, and Selma became the dominant player."

After Kali Kerry expressed her request, Erica took off her well-tailored French trench coat, revealing a neutral shirt and trousers. Compared with just now, her gentle femininity seems to have lightened a lot few.

But in fact, this is of course not just the reason for taking off her coat. She deliberately adjusted her standing posture and movement details to make her external image more suitable for the Selma she needs to present in this scene.

The next moment, she started swearing, "Damn it! I never got lucky! Not even once!"

Her voice was full of anger, and she burst out with astonishing grief and indignation. Her body movements were spinning around like headless chickens, and she couldn't help repeating indignantly, "That damned bastard lied to me."

Erica's expression is so real and accurate that people can't help but be convinced, but in fact, she didn't empathize with the emotions of being cheated by a man for money and sex.

She chose the emotional substitution method in the method-style acting technique-Erica is imagining that the 60 salary she got this month will be robbed of it once she encounters robbers.

Following her imagination, Erica's face easily showed a very precise expression of anger.

And after expressing grief and anger with enough emotion, she began to advance to the next level of performance——

Thelma, who had lost her mind and swore in circles, noticed Louis who was on the verge of collapse and sitting silently on the ground. ignore.

Then, Thelma tried to ease her anger, and said in a comforting tone as if she was afraid of being shocked, "Louis? Are you okay?"

Erica looked in the direction of the interviewer's long table, she knelt down and apologized helplessly, "Louis, I'm sorry."

There was a bit of unconcealable panic on her face, but she tried her best to maintain calm, repeating comforting words, "Louis, it's okay, it'll be fine."

And Louis broke down and cried bitterly, "No, Selma, where do we have money? How can we buy gasoline? Are you selling your hue?"

At the audition, during the silent pause, the expression on Erica's face was changing wildly——

The tranquility that had been pretended to be false gradually showed weakness and collapse, sadness and pain, as if her entire belief in her previous life had collapsed.

But in just a few seconds, on top of these collapsing ruins, it was unbelievable that a firm and strong belief was rebuilt.It's like rebirth, almost a desperate growth awakening.

Don't look back and never give in.

"Louis, listen to me," her voice was steady and strong, "don't worry."

Erika raised her voice with such convincing strength that it almost brought tears to the eyes of the witnesses.

With deep eyes, she said firmly and fearlessly, "Louis, don't worry, do you hear me? I can definitely solve all this for you."

This is the end of the main event.

At the audition, the interviewers looked at Erica in disbelief, and director Ridley Scott couldn't help saying to her, "Your performance is enough to impress anyone and make them believe everything in the movie for you. "

Erica smiled and said, "I can continue to audition for the part where Selma robs the supermarket and threatens the police."

"Save them for the actual filming," said Kali Kerry, full of admiration for Erica. "You got the role and proved everything with your amazing talent."

Director Ridley Scott continued his praise, "And you made us find the best Selma."

With the unanimous approval of the audition officers, Erica finally got the first heroine in her life.

Soon, the manager of the audition department approached her, ready to take her to the office to sign the performance contract.

And when Erica walked out of the audition room, she heard the audition assistant call out the next audition actor, "George Clooney—"

As they passed the waiting area, the two passed each other. Clooney entered the audition for his fifth audition for J.D., while Erica walked into the manager's office to sign her first starring role. contract.

In Hollywood, no one can ever predict when a young man who clings to his belief in movies and struggles will become famous in one fell swoop and make great strides forward.

Perhaps that's why Hollywood is so crazy, yet so fascinating.

"Welcome to Hollywood, what is your dream?"
