The Greatest Showman (Big Play Bone)

Chapter 6 Waiting for notification

The audition was over, and the alternate actors remained on the stage, standing neatly and stiffly in a row; rustling discussions came from the audience, obviously they are exchanging opinions, it is very likely that they will decide on the role on the spot. .

Almost everyone turned their attention to Lan Li—During the audition process just now, Lan Li deservedly led the way, and his outstanding performance hardly gave anyone any chance.

Rami is no exception. Recalling that while waiting, Lan Li’s relaxed and relaxed posture seemed full of confidence and confidence, even his nervousness was relieved a little. Involuntarily, Lamy raised his head, not thinking about it but unexpectedly facing Lan Li’s eyes, those deep eyes like the vast night sky glowed with shallow light, and the thrilling and brilliant brilliance made Lamy tugged in panic. At the corner of his mouth, he smiled awkwardly, concealing his embarrassment.

You can think about it, and then look up again, trying to cover up, and say cautiously, “Your performance just now was wonderful!”

Lan Li didn’t seem to expect Lamy’s initiative to speak up, he raised his eyebrows lightly, and then chuckled, “We are all working hard to show the most perfect performance, hoping to impress the group of people below, don’t we?” That confidence But he was not proud, humorous but with a slightly joking tone, which made Lamy laugh involuntarily.

Turning around, Lamy looked at the audience and muttered in a low voice, “They look like they are discussing national affairs in the State Department.” The ridiculous tone also showed his humor.

Indeed, the discussion in the audience lasted for nearly five minutes, and there was still no result. This was really abnormal. Because this is still in the audition process, either make the decision on the spot or discuss afterwards. Generally, the discussion will not be too long on the spot to avoid disrupting the audition schedule and try to keep the average time of each group of auditions at about ten minutes.

“Steven, give me a reason, give me a reason why the blue gift is not good enough.” Tom’s stubbornness also came up, turned sideways, looked at Steven face to face, and raised his voice slightly to express him. Persistence.

Steven was unmoved. He shook his head calmly, “It’s not that Lanli is not good enough, but we have a better choice!” The other staff nearby closed their mouths obediently and looked at the two. The boss fights **** reason, and no one even dared to remind them to pay attention to the time. They just held their breath and tried to eliminate their sense of existence.

“If you say, let him play other roles, there is no problem! I can make a decision now, he is very good, he can do many roles, but we are talking about the role of Eugene, he is the whole series The soul is not only the leading actor, but also the spiritual support we instilled in this drama!” Unknowingly, Steven’s voice rose slightly, and his expression was slightly excited. He pushed back, “So yes, I refuse him to play Eugene, I refuse such a strange young man without any acting experience to play Eugene! Yes, I think it is better than him. , We have a better choice!”

“Joseph-Mazzello?” Tom said without any pause. He was so excited that he even stood up slightly, and then fell to sit down, clearly expressing his inner turbulence, “Steven , I know you like him very much, and I also know that he is a very good actor, but compared with Lan Li, he is really not good enough.”

Joseph was born as a child star, and he is 26 years old this year. In 1992, he starred in “Bright Sea and Sky” and collaborated with Elijah-Wood. At that time, Steven and George Lucas went to the set to explore the class. He was so moved by his performance that Steven said on the spot that he hoped Joseph could play “Captain Hook”, but unfortunately because Joseph was only seven years old at the time, he was too young to give up.

After that, in order to allow Joseph to play in “Jurassic Park”, Steven even took the initiative to modify the age and background of the character; and during the preparation of the “Artificial Intelligence” work, Joseph was also Steven’s first choice. It is a pity that the preparatory period was too long and the schedule was missed, which led to the failure of cooperation.

When preparing for the “Pacific War,” Steven Eugene, the soul of the play, reserved it for Joseph from the beginning, hoping to achieve the second cooperation between the two sides, which shows his preference for this actor. Even masters like Stanley-Kubrick had a blistering effect on Joseph when he was alive.

But now, Tom wants to give Eugene to Lan Li to play, which has become the focus of the dispute between the two sides.

“Jesus Christ! He is only twenty years old! There is no work before that! Just now, you just watched that…how long? Sixty seconds? Ninety seconds of performance? Then just…” Steven He was also a little excited, but Tom did not show any weakness and interrupted Steven’s words directly, “But originally Eugene was only nineteen years old!”

Steven Huo had to stand up, “but he doesn’t have that fragile firmness! This is the reason I insist on using Joseph!” The uncontrollable voice broke through the shackles of the auditorium and let all the actors on the stage. They were all shocked, but because they didn’t hear the cause and effect, they were just confused.

“Steven, Tom…” someone stood up next to him and said bitterly, “We can go back and discuss it slowly. Now, we don’t have enough time…” The following words paused hesitantly again. Watching the two big brothers carefully.

Steven sat down directly, then turned his back to Tom; Tom also sat back upright, propped his chin with his right hand, and looked towards the stage without saying a word, as if there was no one beside him.

The tense atmosphere was really frightening, but it stopped temporarily, anyway, “cough cough.” The casting director cleared his throat, and everyone’s attention was brought together again, “Today’s audition is here for the time being. , You can leave now, you just wait for the notification for follow-up news.”

Waiting for notification?

The result of arguing for nearly seven minutes is “waiting for notification”? Swiping and pulling, all eyes fell on Lan Li again in an instant, full of incredible-if even Lan Li’s amazing performance could not impress the crew, then who could win the “Pacific War” performance opportunity? This…

As a client, Lan Li couldn’t hide his loss. To be honest, his performance just now was really good. He reached an excellent state and showed his best performance in the near future. Coupled with the controversy and discussion on the spot, the expectation value inevitably started to go. When I climbed up, I actually got such a reply-“Waiting for notification.” Anyone who has participated in an audition or interview knows that this reply often means that there is no news and no news. This kind of gap makes Lan Li a little disappointed.

Maybe, the talk show at the beginning has already foreshadows the current result, doesn’t it?

Thinking of the phone call from his parents before the audition, my mood was still a bit heavy. However, this was only his first audition. The negative emotions only stayed in the chest for a while, and then turned into a cloud of smoke and disappeared. Without a trace, he has been bedridden for ten years and has been a man for two lives. He has learned to be open-minded. The smile at the corner of his mouth was slightly outlined, like a red glow on the horizon at six o’clock in the afternoon, soft and bright.

Turning around, Lan Li took the lead and left the stage. Lamy was stunned and looked around. Only then did he notice that the next group of alternate actors at the entrance was ready. He quickly followed Lan Li’s footsteps. People left the theater one after another.

Coming back to the outside, the fresh air made the dull atmosphere suddenly clear. Lamy looked at Lan Li’s fading back, hesitated for a moment, then gathered up the courage and strode to catch up with him, “Hey, Lan Li.” Lamy realized once again that the height difference between him and Lan Li was too fatal, and it was extremely difficult to run with short legs.

Fortunately, Lan Li stopped and waited on the spot. Lamy slowed down, stopped in front of Lan Li, panting heavily, but found himself reckless, and the words he prepared suddenly became blank. Looking at Lan Li’s questioning gaze, Lamy suffocated. Holding back, he said, “…I think you can definitely get a role!” The words were extremely affirmative. After speaking, Lamy nodded firmly, “I’m serious!”

It’s just a peaceful meeting, one-sided fate, but Lamy sincerely expressed his support and affirmation. Lan Li’s smile also added a touch of warmth, “I believe that you can definitely be seen in the’Pacific War’; besides, I have a hunch that the role weight is definitely not light.”

Lan Li’s determined expression actually has a kind of firmness that can’t stand his beak, without any polite perfunctory, UU reading www.uukanshu. com Lamy couldn’t help but want to believe this, but the surprise and astonishment in his mind could not stop. His performance just now could not be compared to Lan Li. If even Lan Li loses the election, he How can it be chosen?

But, before Lamy continued to ask questions, Lan Li waved goodbye. Lamy only had time to say “goodbye”, and then watched Lan Li move forward again. The stormy waves in his heart had just begun.

Lan Li is not a polite, indeed it is not, because it is the case.

Lamy not only successfully starred in the “Pacific War”, played an important role in it, second only to the core two roles; and later won the Emmy Award for best drama with the drama “The Hacker Legion” The honor of an actor, after struggling for six years in Hollywood’s third-tier stage, ushered in the spring of his career as an actor.

Lamy’s calf-like eyes are particularly recognizable. He was born in 1981, but due to the prominent eyes, he is always a baby face. Even in 2017, he does not look much different from now. , As if time has forgotten his existence directly in the process of passing.

Leaving the theater and basking in the thin and lazy New York sunshine, Lan Li took a deep breath of slightly restless air, and his mood rose again. The audition just now was just the beginning, an insignificant beginning. He once again has the opportunity to rewrite his life. This is the most important thing, isn’t it?

In the midsummer of 2009, it belonged to the dream journey of Lan Li, and it sounded the clarion call for departure.

Lan Li took his skateboard from the guard at the entrance of the theater, thanked him, threw the skateboard directly on the ground, stepped on it lightly, kicked his left foot, and the whole person was flying in the wind. .
