Hollywood Road

The sound of passionate music floated around, and the blonde woman in front of the camera twisted her body vigorously, making hot dance moves. These dances with hips and chests should not appear in the audition room of a film, but Exclusive to strip clubs at midnight.

The music stopped, and the blond woman stopped. She straightened her messy blond hair and looked at the people next to the camera panting.

That is the one who can decide her fate.

In the middle is an acquaintance, friend Carey Mulligan's boyfriend Murphy Stanton, the director of the audition film, and it is said that the producer has completely delegated the casting power to him.

"Miss Banks." The voice from over there reminded Elizabeth Banks that she was currently auditioning, "May I ask what works you have acted in in the past?"

Elizabeth Banks showed a sunny and friendly smile, "I haven't acted in a movie, but I played a cameo role in "The Intern".

Murphy left the camera, looked at Elizabeth Banks and nodded. The other party's appearance and figure were more in line with the requirements of the role. As for acting skills, that was secondary. For such a flirtatious role, basic acting skills are enough. up.

However, there are many large-scale shots in the film, and Murphy asked again, "Miss Banks, what level of nudity do you accept?"

Nudity is a very common situation in Hollywood movies, and how many popular stars have not filmed nudity?

Elizabeth Banks said without hesitation, "As long as the filming needs it, I can **** it."

She knows the importance of opportunities. Like Carey Mulligan, she is not as good as herself in terms of appearance or acting skills, but she has played two important roles in two films one after another. She has gained some fame because she is lucky enough , good enough to meet a director like Murphy Stanton.

Although there will definitely not be pornographic scenes in the finished film screened in theaters, but the restrictions on videotapes are much looser, and the film will be exhibited at the Cannes Film Festival, so how can it lack large-scale youth pornography?

The Cannes Film Festival is notoriously welcoming of super-scale films.

"That's the end of the audition." Murphy nodded, and simply wrote it down in the notebook in his hand, "Miss Banks, we will notify your agent of the audition status next week."

Although the director opposite had no expression on her face, Elizabeth Banks could tell that she still had a great chance.

And with Carey Mulligan helping her, the pillow breeze is said to always work.

Elizabeth Banks politely greeted Murphy and others in the audition room before leaving.

After the audition, Paul Wilson just went out when he received a call from Carey Mulligan, saying, "The audition went well, and Murphy is very satisfied with your friend."

"That's great!" Carey Mulligan was very concerned.

Murphy also walked out of this temporary audition room, walked through the scene being built in the warehouse, and returned to his director's office, where he found Bill Rossis waiting for him.

"Are you happy with the audition?" Bill Rossis asked.

"It's okay." Murphy threw the notebook on the desk, and took a glass of water for himself. "The person was recommended by Carrie, a friend she met in an acting class."

Bill Rossis pointed to the outer door. "I just saw it. The blond beauty looks like she has potential."

Murphy opened the chair and sat down, "Are you interested in signing her?"

"No, I'm not interested in her." Bill Rosies seemed to be pointing, "Don't forget, I'm Kerry's agent, and Kerry is your girlfriend. She is an actress with a similar development path in the future."

Hearing these words, Murphy raised his head and looked at Bill Rosses, "You mean, let me give up Elizabeth Banks?"

Bill Rosses nodded slightly, but he knew that Murphy was a smart person, so he quickly said, "From my point of view, I really don't want to see you use a non-caa signed actor, and I have someone to recommend. "

Murphy knew Bill Rossis had something to say and just looked at him.

"From your and Carrie's point of view, I also suggest you not to use Elizabeth Banks." Bill Rosses directly gave the reason, "Blonde hair, beautiful appearance, and not very good acting skills, you Don't you think they are very similar?"

Without waiting for Murphy to answer, he continued, "In Hollywood, blonde actresses are a special category, and the available roles for this group are often limited to a certain range. Murphy, it's impossible for Carrey to only play you in the future." , and your film has a strong black style, which does not match her own temperament, and she will eventually go out."

Murphy thought for a while, then nodded slowly.

"Hollywood does not have a large group of blonde actresses with real characteristics, and there have been few outstanding ones in recent years. Carrey has accumulated a certain popularity in your first two films, and the future is still very promising. "Bill Rossis must have a deeper understanding of this circle than Murphy, "What if you decide that Elizabeth Banks will be the heroine?"

"May Kerry have another competitor in the future?" Murphy gradually figured it out.

Bill Rosses nodded, "Elizabeth Banks has no fame, let alone opportunities. She is inferior to Carrey in every aspect. There are only so many opportunities Hollywood can give beautiful blonde actresses. If Elizabeth Banks Adams became famous with this film..."

He laughed, "You and I both think that the film will be successful and will sell well. The actress who is the absolute leading role must be the biggest beneficiary. This also means that Elizabeth Banks may become popular, so Carrey will not be able to do so in the future." There are more opportunities and another strong competitor."

Murphy seriously considered what Bill Rossis had said.

After two consecutive films, Carey Mulligan has already accumulated some fame, and even under the operation of Bill Rossis, he was featured in a magazine distributed nationwide not long ago, and was named as one of Hollywood's top ten future potentials One of the actresses.

Among these potential actresses, she is also the only blonde actress.

Indeed, hair dyeing can solve many problems, but Hollywood’s perception or prejudice against a blonde actress is often deeply rooted. A role that requires acting skills and explosive power is often not chosen by the crew when the conditions are similar.

Most of the beautiful blonde actresses act as vases, which also leads to the relatively few opportunities and resources that many blonde actresses can obtain after they become famous.

This group is already highly competitive. In the future, Carey Mulligan will jump out of the restrictions of his films. If there is one more competitor, it means one less opportunity.

After all, the former Elizabeth Banks will hardly have much achievements in the next ten years.

This calculation method is outrageous, but Murphy knows how fierce the competition in Hollywood is, and often a 1% chance represents the difference between heaven and earth.

Everyone has selfishness, and Murphy is no exception, and there is no need to do more.

Having made up his mind, he no longer considered Elizabeth Banks, but instead asked, "What about you? Who do you want to recommend? Your new client?"

Bill Rossis shook his head, "A professor at the Juilliard School of Art found Brian Lauder through his relationship and wanted to find a chance for her favorite student. Among the projects operated by CAA, only "Horror" Planet was in the casting stages, so Bly called me."

The interpersonal network in this circle can be described as intricate. In many cases, the audition competition is not only about acting skills and appearance, just like all business circles, there are often interpersonal networks behind it.

The reason is very simple. Under the same conditions, a crew will definitely give priority to actors recommended by acquaintances or related households.

"It must be beautiful enough," Murphy also reminded him of the basic role requirements, "The body must also be hot enough to accept large-scale shots, otherwise..."

He shook his head, he didn't meet these conditions, even if he was recommended by Brian Lauder, he would refuse.

"Don't worry, you've met her," Bill Rossis said. "An old friend of ours, she has had so many setbacks that she has opened her mind."

old friend? Or from the Juilliard School? Murphy immediately thought of a name, "You're not talking about Jessica Chastain, are you?"

"That's her." Bill Rosses nodded.

Murphy was puzzled, "I heard from Carrie that she hit a wall everywhere in Hollywood, how could she get on line with Bligh?"

"I talked to her once, and that mentor was her last resort." Bill Rosses raised his legs, "The other party should only help her once, and if she didn't find any opportunities, she probably wouldn't contact her. That mentor."

Think about the former Jessica Chastain, and look at the trajectories of most Hollywood actresses. She is definitely a late bloomer, and she must have encountered setbacks and difficulties at that time. It took a lot of time and even the entire youth to be able to struggle out and become a being close to the first-line star.

The other party had also served as his assistant before, and Murphy recognized her work ability, but he had never seen her acting skills.

"Well, Bill." Murphy opened the notebook and wrote Jessica Chastain's name on it, "Let her come to the crew to audition as soon as possible. Also, you tell Bligh that I can't give him any guarantees."

Bill Rossis certainly understands the unwritten rules of the industry. If Jessica Chastain cannot meet the most basic requirements, he must not be used, let alone Murphy and Miramax. He will not pass this test.

No one wants to use an actor who might cause the project they are responsible for to fail.

Bill Rosses stood up, "I'll have Jessica Chastain's agent contact the crew. I've communicated with Bly before, no problem."

He left the office quickly, and Murphy thought for a while. From the perspective of Carey Mulligan's future development, Elizabeth Banks is indeed not a good candidate. (To be continued.)
