Chapter 549 [Dr. Zhao and Peacock]
? The audition for the female villain was very interesting, because the actors knew in advance that this was a villain who would kill people, so they tried to be as vicious as possible, with sharp eyes, and read their lines loudly.
But the three judges knew that there were not many opportunities for the female villain to show her ferocity in the movie, let alone her psychology. This is a campus film, and the heroine is a college student. How ruthless and complicated can it be? The story is nothing more than a murder caused by a little girl's jealousy.
Moreover, the suspense of the movie is very critical. Most of the time, the audience must be willing to guess who the villain is. This content cannot be known to the auditioners, otherwise it will be a serious spoiler.
The actresses who came to audition were of all skin colors. On two occasions, the director felt that they were getting by with each other, but Guo Xu was not satisfied.
Until a tall Asian girl with long hair and purple casual clothes arrived, Guo Xu felt his eyes light up.
This girl has a fleshy face and regular facial features. She is not a super beauty, but she has a very homely and gentle temperament. She is soft and easy to bully. If she plays a villain in a movie, it will form a strong contrast.
With her image, it was difficult for the audience to guess that she was the murderer until the end of the performance. In the original movie Guo Xu watched in his previous life, the villain was so ugly that the only thing missing from her image was the words "I am the murderer" engraved on her forehead. .
The Asian girl bowed deeply when she came up, and her voice was really gentle when she opened her mouth. "Hello everyone, my name is Kim Soo Hyun, I am 19 years old and Korean."
Robert couldn't help but start to imagine how she could use the gentlest voice and speak the most vicious words, which would send chills down the spine and shudder. It seems like it would be fun to have her play the villain.
Director Paul Feig wants to say PASS. He has been in the entertainment industry for many years and suspects that this woman is not ruthless at all. At the end of the movie, she will have a PK with the heroine.
Guo Xu suddenly remembered someone, waved to her and said, "Come closer and let me see you. Your name is Jin Xiuxian, right?"
Jin Xiuxian hurried over, looking a little nervous with his hands behind his back. He looked at Guo Xu for three seconds, his face suddenly turned red, and then he lowered his head.
Feige and Robert were both happy, little girl, are you really here to audition? Have you come on a blind date?
Guo Xu also smiled. He recognized this as Dr. Zhao Hailun from the previous life "Avengers 2". Her name is very interesting, it has the same name as Professor Dou from the Stars, and it shouldn't be wrong for her to be so tall.
Kim Soo Hyun performed well in "Avengers 2",
As a supporting role, he has a strong presence. However, she is just a college student who came to the United States to visit the United States with her friends during the holidays. She is thin-skinned and has no acting skills to speak of.
In fact, she came to the audition just to meet Guo Xu. She was not an actor registered with the Hollywood Screen Actors Guild at all. She was currently attending college in South Korea.
During the winter vacation from college, she and two of her best friends came to Los Angeles to play, and happened to see the news about the open audition. Her best friend knew that she liked basketball and was a fan of Guo Xu, so she encouraged her to come to the audition so that she could meet Guo Xu in person and have a few words with her. If she failed in the audition and asked for an autograph, the other party would probably agree.
When Kim Soo-hyun arrived, she said on the plane that it would be great if she could get autographs and take photos. They also went to watch the Suns vs. Lakers game at home yesterday. She really wanted to see Guo Xu, so she came on impulse. She could sign up anyway, and she was planning to enter the entertainment industry in the future.
She has a model figure and successfully passed the preliminary selection. If her image does not fit the role, she will be passed directly.
Now that Guo Xu smiled at her, her mind went blank. She stood there not knowing what to do next. She didn't come back to her senses until Guo Xu asked again.
"how tall are you?"
She answered mechanically: "177CM."
"Perform a line." Guo Xu said.
Kim Soo-hyun showed his serious side immediately after he started performing. He entered the scene quickly, his emotions were accurate when speaking his lines, his English line skills were also good, and his cadences were just right.
All three of them thought it was good. When the performance was over, she glanced up at Guo Xu and blushed again.
Different from the clips of other candidates who came to audition, she did not choose the scene where she had a falling out with the heroine, but the scene where she and the heroine pretended to be good sisters and had a gentle conversation. Her tone was gentle, but there was a bit of jealousy in her eyes. This emotion was difficult to control.
Director Feige asked: "Your English is good. Do you have any acting experience before?"
"I worked as an intern at Arirang Radio in South Korea... My father used to work in the United States. I went to school in the United States when I was a child. Now I have returned to China to go to college. I came here... I want to try my luck in Hollywood." Soo Hyun When I got excited, I almost told the truth that I was a groupie.
Although she had the mentality of giving it a try, she was still fully prepared for the audition, because being an intern in South Korea was a hellish start, and she only practiced for three months before becoming more professional.
Hollywood is her ultimate goal, and generally only top Korean stars have the opportunity to film.
In Korea, becoming an idol is the dream of many people, but it is very difficult to succeed. It may take a lot of time, but in the end you get nothing. In the fiercely competitive South Korea, many trainees or groups may disappear without ever being on stage. It is common to drink and sleep with people, entertainment company pimps, slave contracts that are completely unilateral exploitation, and a lot of shady things.
The Korean entertainment industry is a place with a high incidence of suicide. Those are not unspoken rules but explicit rules. Behind the glamor of those Ernies and Oppas, there is an unknown history of bitter blood and tears and a well-known history of plastic surgery...
Kim Soo-hyun does have some advantages, because her family background is very good, she is fair and beautiful, and she does not have to worry about being hidden when she enters the entertainment industry. However, she had to wait until 2010 to become famous after her debut in Korea.
At this time, she heard an incredible sound and thought she was hallucinating.
Guo Xu made the decision and said: "Let her play the role. The script will be slightly modified to mention the issue of discrimination against Asians in college. This is a sensitive topic and a hot topic in the movie. I was also discriminated against in college back then." discriminate."
"Okay, I agree." Robert felt that this choice was very reliable. Kim Soo-hyun has a good image, his English is standard, and this role does not require good acting skills.
Feige nodded: "I don't have any objection, even in the last scene, she has to be more ruthless."
Guo Xu shrugged and said with a smile: "It's very simple. Just start acting in your true colors. You can help hone her acting skills in that crucial scene. What I want is this strong contrast."
Kim Soo-hyun listened to their chat, with her mouth slightly open, looking at Guo Xu with a cute expression.
After once again confirming that she got the role, she bowed to the three of them and thanked them. She even forgot about asking Guo Xu for his autograph and went out happily.
As soon as she went out, she jumped twice with excitement. Her friends would be scared to death. When she told her parents about this, they would be surprised and proud.
It was easy to choose the male villain, and we decided on a middle-aged strong man named Jeff Petrie. His face looked evil at first glance. He had no fame and no money, and he worked as a walk-in in Hollywood.
The role of the male teacher belongs to Guo Xuding. Matt Bomer, who was nicknamed "Peacock" in his previous life, came to audition. Such a handsome guy who will be famous in the future does not need to be used in vain. Now he is just a walk-on. He is willing to act if there is a film and he will be paid. Super low.
Matt, who was born in 1977, is almost 28 years old. He has previously acted in the TV series "Guiding Light" and "Mysterious Calling", both in supporting roles, and has never acted in a movie.
Guo Xu also plans to participate in auditions in the future. It will be interesting to get some supporting roles who are not popular but have potential into the movie.
