Senior Superstar

Regarding the tortuous shooting experience of "The Silence of the Lambs" in this time and space, Li Shixin only felt a little bit pained.

He finally understood why Editak's eyes were so weird when he saw that he was interested in this script just now.

This feeling is almost the same as when you see someone having a big night, you must go to the famous local haunted house to stay.

"Cough cough,"

After clearing his throat, Li Shixin came out of his trance, and pointed to the script in his hand.

"Since this script is so evil, why was it taken out again this time?"

Facing Li Shixin's question, Edithack had a weird smile on his face again.

"This... is mainly because of the relationship between the film's director, Griffnos."

"oh?"

Li Shixin asked curiously: "Is there any story in it?"

The time has come to eight o'clock.

Bathed in the morning light, Hollywood has started a new day.

Sensing the increasing crowds of people going to the studio to start work, Edithack did not rush to answer Li Shixin's question, but locked the car door, and brought Li Shixin to a coffee shop by the street.

After casually ordering two cups of coffee, Edith put his hands together and looked at Li Shixin across the table.

"Actually, if you don't care about the script very much, I don't recommend you to audition for the role of Hannibal."

Confounded by his newly adopted godson, Li Shixin asked with his tongue, "So what?"

"The reason why I brought you all the recent Hollywood villain audition invitations is because Marvel doesn't have a role that suits your current conditions. You know, these crews have their own investment companies and sponsors. According to my idea , Which character do you like, I can use my personal relationship to lobby the producer or director of the crew, so that you can get the role into the crew without auditioning."

oh?

Hearing this, Li Shixin suddenly felt better.

For this novice's godson, the feeling is also a little bit better.

Still very filial!

"But the crew of "The Silence of the Lambs", I really don't want to get in touch with them."

Seeing Edith's pursed lips, Li Shixin didn't answer, but patiently waited for his next words.

Sure enough, after a moment of hesitation, Editark spread his hands.

"This Griffnos is an out-and-out weirdo, a madman. When he first debuted, he won the Golden Globe Newcomer Award for the Virgo "Whiskey and Tranquilizer", and then he was valued by HBO as a director Several hits."

"Oh? According to this rhythm, it seems that this is a director with great potential."

For this resume, Li Shixin was a little envious.

"Theoretically, yes. However, three years ago, Griff suddenly announced through his Twitter that he had terminated his partnership with HBO, and would not accept any more HBO works. It would be fine if the cooperation was terminated alone. But this guy actually emphasized in his statement that the reason for leaving HBO is that he believes that the works of this old TV production company are inferior commodities for the entertainment of housewives and fat houses."

"."

Listening to Edith's narration, Li Shixin fell silent.

This person is probably out of his mind.

In Hollywood, who should offend HBO?

What kind of company is this?

The big family who controls the largest TV series market in the United States and has the widest audience!

Offended the abbot, why do you want to run away?

"So how is this person doing now?"

Facing Li Shixin's question, Edithack shrugged his shoulders.

"After leaving HBO, this guy made bold claims that he was going to hit the Oscars. In the past five years, he made two films, but the box office can be poisonous. It completely deviated from the principles of commercial films and fell into the The vicious circle of self-promotion and high-spiritedness. After offending HBO, the benefactor, most of the investment companies in Hollywood were scared away with these two films.

As far as I know, the reason why the film "The Silence of the Lambs" was cast is because this guy has completely lost the investment. So I had to pay my own money to buy this script that no one was willing to shoot, and planned to make a last-ditch effort. Moreover, I heard that these days, many actors who went to audition for the crew of "Lamb" were very dissatisfied with the crew. According to these people, Grieve was underpaid and quite demanding. "

After figuring out the ins and outs of this script, Li Shixin finally nodded.

Say nothing else.

A director who lashed out at his former employer, a script that overwhelmed all the important positions of the entire crew

It's a fucking perfect match with myself, an actor appointed by the Film Association to only play villains!

"So, Godfather. You'd better change it. I'm not sure about Griff. Help you get the role through the audition."

"No need."

Amid Editak's hesitation, Li Shixin waved his hand, pushed aside the coffee brought by the waiter chewing gum, and stood up.

"This audition, I will do it myself."

Taking out the "Lamb" sheet from a pile of audition forms, Li Shixin casually took out a ballpoint pen from his pocket.

In front of the relieved Edith, he scribbled on the information form and filled in his own information.

The audition form in Hollywood is similar to that in China. In addition to including basic information such as age, appearance, and contact information, it is mainly the self-assessment of actors.

After completing these items, you can go directly to the audition location to report.

The rest include artistic expertise, physical temperament, physical performance, language expression, line skills, etc., all of which need to be scored by the crew audition judges.

Holding the audition form with basic information filled in, Li Shixin asked Edith to send him to Monterton Studios, the audition location for "The Silence of the Lambs".

Previously, the audition locations for "Strange 2" belonged to relatively common places in all Hollywood studios.

But after going around for more than an hour, he arrived at the audition location. After seeing the studio in front of him, Li Shixin suddenly felt that the audition location of "Strange 2" was really a big deal.

Not for anything else, just because the place in front of me is so fucking broken!

It is said to be a studio, but whether it is the studio building or the surrounding facilities, it is full of a strong Cold War style.

Standing outside the studio, it looks like Chernobyl has moved to the United States.

In Li Shixin's perception, even Rongdian doesn't have such an old studio anymore.

Standing at the gate of the studio and looking in, Li Shixin was at a loss for words for a while.

To say that mice can shed tears when they come, may be somewhat suspected of burying people.

But looking at the few people walking in the studio area at noon, and the acrylic plaque that may fall from the gate at any time, the cliff is comparable to those old urban areas in China that are waiting for demolition!

"Hey, buddy. What do you want?"

Just as Li Shixin was standing in a mess at the door, a black guy with disheveled hair and white-rimmed glasses yelled in a rough voice.

"Silence of the Lambs crew, audition."

Li Shixin raised the registration form in Yang's hand.

"Oh, come with me."

Randomly glanced at the registration form in Li Shixin's hand, the young man shook his head and opened the yellowed plastic curtain of the studio.

Looking at the empty shooting area in the studio, Li Shixin took a breath.

He casually took out the pen and paper in his pocket, scribbled a few strokes, and then walked in.

"Hey Griff, someone come audition!"

Just as he walked into the studio, Li Shixin heard the black guy yelling loudly.

Following his greeting, a middle-aged man in the studio with curly hair and unrestrained fluffing up his head into a chicken coop rolled over from a simple hammock.

After sizing up Li Shixin with those cloudy eyes that seemed to have just experienced a hangover for a long time, he staggered up to Li Shixin and pulled over the audition registration form.

After reading Li Shixin's basic information, the man frowned.

"Chinaman, are you sure you want to audition for the role of Hannibal? Well, I don't have a problem with you. But I don't think you seem right for the part. Especially with your weird brown pupils, and your yellow skin."

Ignoring the other party's arrogance, Li Shixin smiled and took out the piece of paper he had just written on, and covered it on his audition form.

"You are Director Grieve, right? I think you seem to have some prejudice against me. Maybe this will allow us to get to know each other again."

drop!

Received the applause value of [Shock], 671 points!

Griff stared at the rectangular piece of paper that was only about the length of a palm.

It was a check from the Bank of China.

On the amount of the check, there is one "1" and six "0".

The unit is US dollars.

Before Griff could react, Li Shixin drew back the check all at once.

"Before we talk about our auditions, Griff. I want to talk to you about investing in The Silence of the Lambs."

After fanning the wind with the check, Li Shixin sat down in front of the audition seat.
