Chapter 533: Forrest Gump's Candidate, Heath Ledger
"Looking at Lawson's dejected look, he doesn't seem to be doing well?"
"Lawson's acting skills have always been very good. If he can't do it, it shows how high Director Zhang's requirements are."
"For the role of Forrest Gump, I will give it a try no matter how high the requirements are."
"Yes, this role is so good that I can't give it up no matter what."
“···”
Lawson's failure instantly solidified the atmosphere in the lounge, and many actors couldn't help but take out their scripts and start reading.
As time went by, one star after another completed the audition, most of them were dejected, and only a few of them showed no expression at all.
"Chris, your performance is very good. I give you 8.7 points."
"Johnny, your habitual actions should be less. Captain Jack Sparrow has come to an end. You must climb out of this role as soon as possible."
"Bradley, for an actor, the most important thing is to have both form and spirit. You should imagine that you are Forrest Gump, not to perform Forrest Gump."
“···”
Essence.
Although all of the actors who came to audition were very good at acting, and according to the system's standards, even the worst ones were S-level, none of them could grasp the essence of Forrest Gump.
Even Leonardo DiCaprio only got 9 points from Zhang Xiao, and Zhang Xiao naturally hopes that an actor can get close to 10 points.
It wasn't until the end that the actor Heath Ledger walked in and gently closed the door. Then Zhang Xiao's eyes lit up and he felt like a game.
When he was on Earth, Sisley relied on the role of the Joker to become the top actor in Hollywood. The Joker in this world was robbed by Zhang Xiao. Although with other works, Heath Ledger was also considered a top actor.
star.
But compared with Leonardo, Bale and others, there is still a long way to go.
Therefore, he urgently needs the role of Forrest Gump to prove himself.
From the moment Heath Ledger closed the door, Zhang Xiao could tell that this guy was already into the scene.
He immediately signaled to Norris, who recalled that he pointed the camera at Heath Ledger.
Heath Ledger glanced at the rows of chairs on the stage and walked directly towards the stage without saying anything.
His walking posture seemed to be after a long period of exercise, with his waist straight, his steps firm, his eyes looking straight ahead, and his sluggishness with a hint of tenacity.
Heath Ledger was very familiar with the script. After sitting on the bench, he didn't say anything and just stood in a daze quietly for a while.
Almost fifteen seconds later, Heath Ledger looked down and saw a leaf falling on top of the tree.
He leaned over and picked up the leaves, stretched them a little, then opened his briefcase, took out a book from it, carefully placed the leaves in the book, and put them back into the distance.
Heath Ledger performed this series of actions meticulously, and could even be described as rigid. However, these are exactly the actions of an imbecile.
"Beautiful!" Zhang Xiao praised secretly in his heart.
"My name is Feres."
"Fresgan~"
Heath Ledger turned to look at the non-existent 'person' next to him and said.
His voice is rich and has a hint of cuteness, which makes people know that he is a person with IQ problem.
Heath Ledger opened a piece of chocolate and said, "Would you like some chocolate too?"
As if the other party refused, Heath Ledger put the chocolate into his mouth and said: "I can eat a million pieces of chocolate."
While chewing the chocolate, he raised his head and said with a hint of memory in his eyes: "Life is like a box of various chocolates. You never know what kind of chocolate you will get next."
"Stuck~"
At this point in Heath Ledger's performance, Zhang Xiao stopped and said: "In the second scene, I carried this young man on my back and ran three times. Behind me was a sea of fire after the bomb exploded."
Heath Ledger didn't talk nonsense, walked up to the young man, directly picked him up, and then ran around the stage three times.
A bright smile appeared on Zhang Xiao's face.
After he finished his performance, Zhang Xiao snapped his fingers and said: "Ledger, your audition is over."
Heath Ledger took a deep breath, stepped out of the role, and said, "Mr. Zhang, what do you think?"
Zhang Xiao looked at him deeply and said, "In the second audition, I asked you to carry him, why did you have to carry him?"
Heath Ledger explained: "I think the situation on the battlefield is urgent and bullets are flying. If you carry the wounded on your back, it is easy for the wounded to fall. Only carrying or holding the wounded can ensure the safety of the wounded."
Zhang Xiao smiled and said: "Ledger, it seems that you have been well prepared during this period!"
Heath Ledger nodded and said: "Yes, I like Forrest Gump very, very much. If you let me play him, I am confident that he will become a classic character in the history of Hollywood movies."
After saying that, Heath Ledger looked at Zhang Xiao expectantly.
After Zhang Xiao pondered for a while, he stood up and walked to the camera, watched the scene that Norris had just shot from beginning to end, and said: "Ledger, among the more than 20 people who auditioned today, Leonardo's performance
Best, I gave him a 9."
"How many points do you think you can get?"
Heath Ledger shook his head and said: "I don't know your scoring standards, so I can't judge, but I firmly believe that I will never be worse than anyone else."
Zhang Xiao said with a smile: "I give you a score of 9.52. You are already very close to the role of Forrest Gump, but there is still a little bit of deliberateness in your demeanor and behavior. If you can eliminate this trace of deliberateness before filming starts, then you are
Forrest Gump."
Heath Ledger nodded, suddenly realizing what he was saying, and said: "Before filming starts? Mr. Zhang, are you..."
Zhang Xiao said: "You just conquered me with your performance, so you are welcome to join our "Forrest Gump" crew."
Heath Ledger excitedly held Zhang Xiao's hand and said excitedly: "Thank you, thank you very much Mr. Zhang. Don't worry, I won't let you down."
Zhang Xiao nodded and said: "I believe this too, Ledger, I want to edit this performance of yours and send it to other actors. You have no objection to it!"
Heath Ledger was stunned and said: "Of course I don't object, but I don't understand why you would do this?"
Zhang Xiao explained with a smile: "Let Bell and Leonardo be convinced, otherwise, they will think that we have done something shameful."
Heath Ledger nodded: "Okay!"
soon.
Zhang Xiao signed an actor employment contract with Heath Ledger.
During the signing process, Zhang Xiao said to Heath Ledger: "Ledger, I still say the same thing, use the half month before the start of filming to study the script carefully and strive to fully integrate with Forrest Gump. I know you
He has the strength."
