Chapter 48 Opponent
Early Monday morning, Gray Company was extremely busy. They rented out the entire first-floor crew and had to interview many actors for small roles today.
The crew came to Atlanta one after another, but until producer Steve Golin came, Louise Meyer had the final say here.
Director Michel Gondry is a Frenchman with average qualifications and achievements, and is closer to the director of filming on the set.
After the morning meeting, Louise reminded the casting director: "Pay close attention to the actor I mentioned."
"I understand." Richard is not a newbie and understands what's going on.
The crew has hired staff in Atlanta and will also recruit a group of actors for small roles, which can save a lot of labor expenses.
Richard quickly went to the audition room. As soon as he turned the corner of the corridor, Linn, who was temporarily hired from Gray Company, came over: "Director Richard."
The other party was also a casting director at Gray Company, so Richard gave him some face: "Is something wrong?"
Lynn mentioned an actor he discovered and worked with many times: "What we talked about a few days ago, Adam Smith, please pay more attention to it."
Richard nodded and then held a meeting with his assistants.
When looking through the resume brought by his assistant, he discovered one thing: Adam Smith and Martin Davis auditioned for the same role.
Richard didn't think about it at all and put Adam Smith's resume at the end.
At the same time, Martin came to Gray's Company, met Jerome at the door, and called Louise's assistant. Someone soon came over and took Jerome to discuss the large-scale use of extras.<
/p>
Robert came in from the door with his big head on his head. He saw Martin at a glance and came over quickly: "Are you coming to audition too?"
Martin asked: "What role did you audition for?"
The two walked inside, and Robert said as they walked: "It's a marginal role with only two lines. I dream of having one line."
Martin said: "Don't worry, we are not the same character."
Robert asked: "Main role?"
Martin said: "Unless you help."
Robert touched his big head: "Man, that was really an accident!"
Martin said casually: "I believe you."
When we arrived near the audition room, there were so many people that one row of benches was simply not enough. Many people were standing.
The door of an office nearby opened, and Andrew came out with documents. He happened to see Martin. Seeing him standing, he quickly greeted: "Jenny, quickly, bring out a chair. No, two."
The freckle-faced female assistant dragged over two chairs. Andrew took one and dragged it to Martin: "Sit."
Martin quickly took the chair and said politely as before: "Thank you."
"We are friends." Andrew lowered his voice: "Thank you for the news you revealed to me last time. I became the first male in the company to use a kettle. My boss praised me in public and recommended me to study in this crew."
Martin opened his mouth to say nice words: "This is about to be promoted, congratulations."
Andrew laughed: "Actually, just like before, we need a casting assistant who is familiar with Atlanta to help select extras. I mainly interact with Jerome."
Martin said: "With the resume of a $20 million crew, I will be a real casting director when I go back."
"I hope so." Andrew prepared to leave.
Martin and Robert had just sat down when someone next to them was dissatisfied: "Why don't we have seats?"
Andrew's smiling face instantly turned extremely serious: "You can walk if you don't want to stand."
Other audition actors who wanted to speak shut up.
Andrew held up the document: "I still have something to do."
Martin said: "Go and do your work."
On a bench against the wall not far away, Adam Smith has been observing this side.
Companion Ward asked: "The one with Ma Zhen?"
Adam Smith asked: "Is he so famous?"
"Ma Zhen!" Ward's expression was slightly exaggerated: "I heard that in high-end clubs, many women are asking who he is and want to spend a lot of money to have a game with him on a horse."
"That idiot Kyle, this scene was originally his." Adam Smith muttered, a little worried: "At this time, he and I are auditioning for the same role?"
"You are the leading actor in many Grey's dramas, and you were recommended by director Lynn." Ward's voice was also low: "What is he comparing to you?"
Adam Smith said: "He has an unusual relationship with Kelly Gray. You can see that Andrew is trying to please him."
Ward reminded: "Lynn said, your information comes first. In this kind of large-scale audition for small roles, the first one..."
The audition room opened at this time, and the corridor immediately became quiet.
Adam Smith tidied his clothes and made preparations in advance.
A middle-aged female assistant came out and called: "Martin Davis."
Ward was surprised.
Everyone looked at Martin.
Robert raised his fist: "Come on, man!"
Martin bumped fists with him and strode into the audition room.
Of course, there is no red sofa for this kind of audition. With the development of Hollywood, the so-called red sofa has long been withdrawn from the audition room.
If we really want to talk about the role in private, a hotel room or something like that would be more suitable.
Even in a formal audition, Martin still gave a 100% performance.
A very simple performance, plus a few lines.
It is not difficult for him.
Adam Smith watched Martin go in and out, smiling and talking to the big head, not in a good mood.
The second person who entered the audition room was not him, the third person was still not him, the fourth and fifth person were still not him...
This is a Hollywood crew. The opportunity to truly get in touch with Hollywood is right in front of you, but too far away to reach.
When it was Adam Smith's turn, the psychological gap caused him to perform less than ideally. Just looking at the expressions of the casting director and assistant, he knew that he would definitely have no chance.
Ward saw Adam Smith coming out and asked: "How is it?"
Adam Smith shook his head: "Let's go."
After leaving Gray Company, Adam Smith called Lynn.
Soon, Linn called back: "It was decided just after the audition, Martin Davis." He added: "You come back in the afternoon, there is a small role, the scene is smaller, I will help you again.
Fight for it."
Adam Smith put away his phone and said: "Ward, you know a lot of people in Atlanta, help me get to know Martin Davis."
Ward was confused: "It's just a small role."
"It's not just this role." Adam Smith is really worried about other aspects: "This crew works closely with Gray Company, do you understand? I may not be as good as Martin Davis here at Gray Company."
p>
The late-night show on Grey's Company is his base. He can't go to Hollywood, but he is still doing well in Atlanta.
If the basic base is gone, life now will be in vain.
The car installment, the house bought with a loan, the daily life of using credit cards, etc. will all be seriously affected.
Adam Smith said: "Lynn revealed that Director Benjamin is writing a new play for Gray Company. I thought I would be the leading actor, but now it seems a little bad."
Ward understood: "The threat has just appeared, do you have to press it down?"
