The Best Director

"Hehehe!", "Hahaha——"

Under the clear sky, bursts of laughter from adults and children rang out in the children's play area of ​​the park. The energetic children were running around, playing on the slides and swings...[Search for the latest updates at..|m|]

A plaid picnic mat was laid out on the green lawn, and Jessica sat down with Keke in her arms. She looked at the blue sky and white clouds with a leisurely smile on her face. Ke Ke, who was sitting in her arms, held a rattle in her hand and shook it a few times from time to time. Listening to the "dong dong" sound, she smiled happily and even uttered a specious refrain: "Hmm, mama, mama!" Although she knew this It's not calling mother, it's just the unconscious sound made by the baby learning to speak, but Jessica is very happy every time she hears it. After teaching her daughter the word for a while, she taught her again: "Can you call dada? da— —da——"

"Oh... Yeah -" Ke Ke made a very uncooperative babble, a smile spread across her chubby little face, and then she laughed crisply: "Er! Yeah!"

At the Santa Monica Fire headquarters, the reception room outside the audition room was brightly lit with stars. Several sofas were filled with beautiful celebrities. Natalie and Hathaway were laughing and talking about something. Scarlett was finishing texting next to her. Also joining in the conversation, Knightley over there was flipping through a movie magazine, and Hewitt was playing with his tablet computer quietly... In fact, they didn't have to come so early, and now they had to wait in line, anyway, one morning It was audition time all day long, but they all arrived early. This was no ordinary audition.

Since the people who auditioned in the morning all came before work hours, and they were all arrogant big stars, the order of auditions was arranged by the first letter of the last name, and the first letter of the same letter was arranged by the first letter of the first name, to avoid confusion. All the injustice.

Alexis Bledel was the first person to audition. She was competing for the role of a psychiatrist. She was very confident when she entered. She had watched "Infernal Affairs" and found it easy to play "Li Xin'er". Just like Joshua said, she is just an ordinary woman who can be calm, smile and talk.

At this time, the door of the audition room opened, and everyone stopped and looked over. Alexis walked out with a calm face. There was no hint of happiness in her eyebrows. On the contrary, she seemed a little downcast. They were too late. I have other ideas, I just feel sleepy, what’s going on! ?

Screwed! Facing everyone's gaze, Alexis had a helpless smile on her face. Her performance was very poor. She was almost speechless when she was asked by Miraculous Yang. She was distracted during the performance due to her mood. Look at Nata. People like Leigh and Knightley knew they had lost their chance to star.

"Ladies, Magic Yang said, 'Don't underestimate any character.' I wish you good luck." Alexis smiled at everyone, said a few goodbyes, and left first. She was not too disappointed. She joined the competition after being unable to resist Joshua's persuasion from the beginning: "I asked my idiot sister to play that role, and she won the Best Supporting Actress in Olska. What are you afraid of?" ?" She hopes to star in the final season of "Gilmore Girls" this year.

And prepare to take part in Joshua's planned horror film.

"Don't underestimate any character!" Ali's screw-up caused the relaxed atmosphere in the reception room to sink immediately. Wang Yang's voice seemed to be ringing in his ears. The big stars frowned in suspicion. What are they talking about? joke! ?

Under the watch of everyone, Emily Blunt walked into the audition room. The atmosphere became a bit delicate, and naturally it was not easy to discuss this topic that everyone was most concerned about.

They have no intention of looking down upon her, but regardless of whether the psychiatrist or "Liu Jianming's" girlfriend... is really just an ordinary woman, is it possible that there are many explosive scenes in Miyako Yang's adapted script? But the main story and the number of scenes seem to determine whether it will.

And Alexis Bledel screwed up. Although she was not nominated for a Golden Globe or Oscar, her solid acting skills were widely praised. After "t-21-team" shined, in addition to continuing The TV series "Gilmore Girls", as well as "Cowboy Summer", "Sin City" and other wonderful performances, and the independent film "I am Red Fish" co-starred with Jay Baruchel recently She will participate in the Tribeca Film Festival in New York; and she has a gentle temperament, which is very suitable for a psychiatrist!

Thinking of this, Natalie couldn't help but frowned. She was still confident in her heart, but she no longer had any arrogance. It is obvious that today's young directors are very strict. It is not surprising when you think about it. There are so many powerful women. Whoever is less strict will win. lose? It's more fun that way, isn't it? She clenched her fists and shouted in her heart: "Just wait, Qi Qiyang, I will give my best performance anyway!"

"No matter what, I will definitely win today." Knightley, Scarlett and others all had their own thoughts. Didn't they think so?

In the elegant audition room, after Alexis, the second big star broke through today. At this time, Emily Blunt was sitting upright on the chair, and several interviewers headed by Wang Yang were sitting at the interview table. His face was as dark as water, without any sunny and friendly attitude, and he asked: "Have you seen it?" "Infernal Affairs"? What do you think of the character of the psychiatrist, just an ordinary woman? "

"I think...she is very important." Emily thought about it and gave a universal answer. She felt a little nervous in her heart. Now it was completely different from the last audition for "The Devil Wears Prada". The magic Yang gave people It feels very serious and a bit scary...

"Tell me your opinion?" Wang Yang immediately made a gesture of invitation without giving her time to think. Emily thought carefully while organizing her words, and said: "She is a beautiful woman with the unique charm of a doctor. She is the warm haven of 'Chen Yongren'." Wang Yang held up his chin noncommittally, and then asked: "How do you plan to interpret her?" Emily blinked. Seeing that she paused for a few seconds, Wang Yang immediately said: "You know that the preparation and shooting schedule of this movie are very tight, so you must hurry up."

Fortunately, these questions were routine and she had thought about them before. Emily said "Yes, I know" and replied: "I will show her charm and be an approachable and mature psychiatrist. "

"This is what everyone thinks, a friendly and mature female psychiatrist, right!" Wang Yang smiled for the first time, but his words made Emily tremble: "Then why should we choose you? It sounds like nonsense. , when a character has very few scenes and a simple setting, that is the moment that really tests you. Do you know which character is the most difficult to play? Not neurosis, not mania, not depression, not a fashion magazine office assistant, He’s an ordinary person.”

Emily nodded repeatedly. Miraculous Yang was absolutely right. It was too difficult to play an impressive ordinary person. However, her initial thoughts were limited to "ordinary people" and she felt that she could play any role. Well, I didn’t think about how to impress people.

Wang Yang paused, and the audition room immediately fell silent. Nancy and other interviewers did not speak. He continued: "Emily, if you shape her and I let you play her completely, can you What energy does it bring to the movie?" Emily felt that she seemed to be in an active position, but in fact she was very passive. She thought: "Warmth, light, smile... I need to analyze the specifics from the script." Wang Yang ignored it. What script: "Warm smile, are you sure it suits your temperament?"

Emily was fooled by him, and her thoughts were a bit "messy". Her temperament was indeed not that of a sweetheart. Alexis Bledel was warmer and more mature than her! Emily changed her words: "Maybe I can be more serious and mature..."

"If you are a serious psychiatrist, how can 'Chen Yongren' get warmth? How could he fall in love with you?" Wang Yang asked like a machine gun. Emily was almost speechless by the question, and she answered after a while. Said: "I will create a doctor who is cold on the outside and hot on the inside. His warm smile at critical moments will be more attractive."

Wang Yang nodded silently, unable to tell what his emotions were. Emily was very dissatisfied with her poor performance of hesitation, and heard him ask again: "Judging from the story of "Infernal Affairs", do you think Chen got warmth from Li, and did he fall in love with Li? ?" Emily was stunned when she heard this. Instead of asking Li how she felt about Chen, she asked Chen how she felt about Li? She thought for a moment and replied: "I think he should be warmed... but not in love yet."

"You have to understand that a mature psychiatrist is very sensitive. She is like an agent. She can see how Chen feels about her, so she will behave accordingly." Wang Yangjia explained a few words. Originally Needless to say, Emily's doubts disappeared as soon as she heard this, but her performance was really not that good. No wonder Bledel messed up... Wang Yang suddenly asked again: "What will she show?" Emily I couldn't think of much at the moment, so I could only say: "...She wanted to help him, a doctor helps her patients."

Yang's voice was light. He stood up, walked toward the camera, and said, "Let's try acting."

Seeing Emily go from being so confident when she first came in to now making frequent little moves and lowering her eyes thinking about something from time to time, Nancy couldn't help but sigh to herself, Miraculous Yang has nailed another one!

It is said that a guest sees more in an hour than the host sees in a year. Especially as the only person in the room who understands Wang Yang's true intention of "not just being strict, but also to combat their arrogance," Nancy has seen a lot. Although his questions are quick, they are not unreasonable. On the contrary, they are completely reasonable. However, the high degree of freedom brings high difficulty. There is no need to use difficult questions. He uses interviewer skills such as tone of voice and scene control, plus "serious and magical". "The psychological pressure brought about by Bledel and Blount has been dealt with. Their performance is actually okay, but now the lack of highlights is equal to bad.

Moreover, he understands the emotions and drama of these women very well, and knows where their weaknesses are. However, he makes each of them feel terrible in a very targeted way. He constantly hints at the good girl played by Alexis Bledel. Great, what about the good girl psychiatrist? How can someone like a little girl overcome the vicissitudes of life and pain of Chen Yongren? Emily Blunt looks mature and her performance in "The Devil Wears Prada" was also great. He also hinted that the cold-on-the-outside and hot-on-the-inside psychiatrist is not warm enough...

But think about it from another perspective, if they were not intimidated by him and acted confidently and tough from beginning to end, and in turn convinced Miyako Yang, wouldn't they be the winners? Will do. Nancy thought so.

Magic Yang is really scary today! I thought the first two days were strict enough. Casting director Callis and several others shared this sentiment. It must be the audition with the least smile in many years, and they understood it very well. After all, today’s candidates are all super special. Anyone who walks in will be evaluated as "I see." Arrived at Li Xin'er."

In the next performance question, Emily Blunt's performance continued to be ordinary. She was cold on the outside and hot on the inside, but turned cold and arrogant. Wang Yang, who likes to encourage and guide people the most, disappeared. When he saw Emily's somewhat forced smile, Nancy sighed inwardly, hoping she wouldn't leave a psychological legacy.

"Amy, you have great talent and hard work, I know it, we all know it." After turning off the camera, Sunshine Magic Yang suddenly appeared belatedly, Emily's eyes were almost wet, she Isn’t that what I miss? His smile was very kind, just like a big brother looking at his little sister. Wen Yan comforted him: "Actually, I don't know how they are. Your performance surprised me. This is really the character in "The Devil Wears Prada" Emily Blunt?"

His compliments and questions made everyone laugh, and Emily also laughed. Her mature face gradually regained its confidence. Listening to these words from Miyazaki, the man who brought her to Hollywood from London, England, her idol, The encouragement from the amazing director who is only 3 years older than her is really nice.

"Very few people have such outstanding performance as you when they first appear in a movie. It is very easy for people to become complacent and disappointed if they start off too successfully. I am glad to see that you are not. You are making progress."

Wang Yang was not stingy with his words of praise. Emily almost felt that her performance just now was perfect. Did she have an illusion and it was actually really good? However, the happiness could not be maintained. At this time, Wang Yang's smile faded and he said calmly: "I see valuable qualities, but there are also some bad changes. I can't see the newborn Emily who is not afraid of tigers. Where is that person who dared to fight with Meryl Streep? What are you afraid of? Are you afraid of losing because you have gained?"

When being scolded in front of everyone during the audition, Emily did not feel any anger or embarrassment, but looked absorbed and humbly trained. Film critics said that "Blunt is the most outstanding actor in "The Devil Wears Prada" "One ring", "She controls the entire stage every minute she appears", "She makes Streep an old man"... The fame, praise, sparkle, and spirit she has received are all incomparable in front of Miraculous Yang. What is it?

And every word he said was so profound. Emily only felt uncomfortable and blushed a little with shame, because she was right by what he said. Yeah, what was she afraid of, what was she hesitating about? I wasn’t afraid of Streep before, but now I’m worried

oTerman, Knightley, Hathaway and the others? But there is no chance...

"Amy, don't think so much. You have already done a great job. This is just a growing process." Wang Yang gently encouraged her again. This girl must be covered in thorns to be attractive. Success did not make her arrogant, but it made her She was mediocre, and he really hoped that "Emily" would come back. After flipping through the documents at hand, Wang Yang said: "I dare not say who has the best performance now, so although your joining will definitely bring positive energy to the movie, you know that we need to consider it as a whole, thank you Your participation.”

"Yes, yes." Emily nodded again and again. She stood up and said seriously: "Well, I also thank you for this rare opportunity! Miraculous Yang, I will remember your words and I will do my best. I thought about it, thank you all." She smiled at everyone and walked outside.

As soon as she turned around, Emily exhaled silently, looking a little dazed, screwed up, really screwed up! There is simply no bright spot and no merit! Three years later, she has become worse! Three years! She had always wanted to return to the Miracle Young set, but she messed up like this, and the problem was serious. His last words kept echoing, she was so terrible! No wonder she has accomplished nothing in the past three years. She has acted in several movies and played the leading role! Her masterpiece is still "The Devil Wears Prada", so why should she return to the set of Miracle Young...

"God! I'm scared again." Emily covered her forehead and opened the door and walked out of the audition room. As soon as everyone saw her like this, they knew something was wrong! "Ladies, don't underestimate any corner." Milly smiled and said like Alexis: "Good luck to you." "

Watching Blunt leave, Anne Hathaway walked into the audition room. Everyone couldn't help but look at each other, what's going on, another person messed up! She is still the one who was pushed onto the big screen by Wang Yang... Hewitt's brows furrowed even more tightly because she was the least famous among the remaining people in the queue this morning. No, she couldn't lose confidence!

"It seems that that is indeed not a small character.", "Yes, obviously, otherwise what are we arguing about?" Natalie and Scarlett looked at each other and joked with each other. They were still full of confidence, even if It will be the same when Hathaway comes out dejected later. Among actresses of this age group, is there anyone in Hollywood who is more powerful? Knightley over there remained silent and silently turned a page of the magazine. Well, challenges are more fun.

Under the clear blue sky, on the lawn of the park, Jessica said to herself: "I wonder how today's audition went?" Keke, who was leaning against her next to her, made a few sounds and kept saying " "Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh", Jessica looked at her, thought suspiciously for a while, and said helplessly: "Mom doesn't understand!"! .
