Legendary Hollywood Director

The small town of Cannes, which had just rained, smelled of dampness, and the subsequent heat wave thickened the air, creating a restless and restless atmosphere.

Lyman slumped on the sofa with a long list in his hand.

The process of finding actors was not smooth at all. He knew that the project Buried Alive must find an excellent acting school whose acting skills could support the scene.

Originally, the shooting pattern was very small, and the focus was all on the shaping of the main characters. Even the rhythm of the plot had to be changed by the characters. If the characters did not have depth, it would be a disaster for this movie.

But in the blink of an eye, a week has passed, and he still has nothing to gain.

During this period, the recruitment information published in the newspapers and various other publicity channels attracted many actors looking for opportunities.

I have also interviewed about 20 or 30 people, but their performance is really unsatisfactory. There is a lot of distance from the character image that Lehman wants. Some auditions are even embarrassing and people don't know how to comment.

Although he also knew that Buried Alive was not such an attractive project, the result was still frustrating.

Jinshan and Yinshan couldn't help such a waste of money, not to mention that his funds were not very abundant, which made Leiman worry and even his hair began to fall out.

At this rate, the launch date of Buried Alive may not be able to keep up with the scheduled time.

Hey, man, why do you look so sad again? A playful voice came over, disrupting Lyman's thoughts, and when he looked up, he found that Ryan came to his house at some point.

Why, haven't I found a suitable actor yet? If I want to say, just pick one from the previous audition.

Lehman sat up from the sofa with a wry smile, You're thinking too simple, a one-man show can't even hold the scene, so it's weird that it doesn't hit the street when it's filmed. It's better to take this investment and run away, at least not to throw the money into the water.

Then are there any candidates for audition today? Ryan also sat on the sofa and asked.

Well, yes, after waiting for half an hour, let's start.

Hopefully I can find the right one today, I've got everything else done.

Lehman didn't speak, but he thought the same thing in his heart.

The two of them rested for a while, and then went to Mann's studio. This is a rented bungalow, and the two of them transformed it into an interview location.

The first person to come in was a handsome blond guy. He handed his resume to Lehmann and introduced himself nervously: Hello, my name is Darren Coster.

Let's do an audition first. Ryman glanced at his resume and was no longer interested. Anyway, he had to recognize his strength. You are trapped in a small space and panicked. What will your expression look like?

Darren frowned and thought for a while, then took a deep breath, Then I'll start.

He slowly closed his eyes, then opened them, his facial expression became distorted...

Spicy eyes, poor acting. Leiman quickly made a cross in his heart, slowly shook his head and said, I'm sorry, you don't meet my requirements!

Oh, God! Renda's voice trembled. Can you give me another chance? Okay? I really want to be in a movie.

No, I'm sorry, sorry. Lehmann handed him his resume and said with a heart: Your performance didn't meet my expectations, I'm sorry.

Lunda's eyes were a little red, she took the resume in frustration, and left here with a lonely face...

In this situation, Lehmann has seen too many times during this time. But the opportunity to perform is there, so what's the use of lacking strength?

He is responsible for his own work,

instead of sympathy? In other words, who has sympathy for him? This world, after all, depends on itself.

Next up was a big, blond man, and Lyman asked, If you're going to show desperation, try to control your facial expressions.

Fuck! What a weird question, who would despair, show me a show. The muscular blond man scolded loudly, but instead shouted fiercely at Lyman and Ryan: Just say Would you like to choose me?

Sorry, sir, you can't meet my requirements. Lyman calmly told a fact.

The muscular blond man slapped the table sharply, stared at him and said, What, you actually said that I didn't meet the requirements, hey, are you kidding me?

You want to cause trouble? Ryan on the side couldn't stand it anymore, stood up from his seat, and said with the same eyes.

Fuck! The muscular blond man was probably unsuccessful in his threat, and he compared the number of people. Seeing Ryan's equally strong figure, he resolutely scolded and left.

One morning passed, and more than a dozen candidates were interviewed, but still no reliable starring candidates were found.

This made Lehmann even more worried.

Why is an actor with acting skills so hard to find?

In fact, the problem is that those acting schools have never paid attention to such a small production as Buried Alive, and other new actors have not undergone much tempering, so how can they exercise their acting experience.

It's 12 o'clock, let's have a lunch break and come back in the afternoon. Ryan didn't complain anymore. He has been auditioning with Lyman these days, and Thomas is managing other preparations. Seeing that Lehman was in a bad mood, he comforted him at the right time.

Let's go. Although Layman was lost, he knew that he couldn't do it. No matter what, he had to live the same life.

Lunch was settled in a small restaurant nearby. At this time, it is impossible to be generous anyway, so I just ate a little to fill my stomach. It only cost 23 euros for two people.

Although Ryan still has money left, he also knows the importance and doesn't say much about the food. He still wants to save money to invest in the production. After all, the money is decreasing day by day, but the filming work is not enough. There is still no specific opening time, and he can understand the anxiety in Lyman's heart.

In the afternoon, a series of audition work began.

Under Lyman's successive denials, his mood became more and more irritable, until then, another candidate came——

He was wearing a black T-shirt, the same black jeans on the lower body, and the short golden brown curly hair was casually shrugged. His facial features were not exquisite, but he had a unique charm, especially his eyes, which were very agile. As soon as they met, Lehmann felt very familiar.

Hello, my name is Heath Ledger... The introduction of the visitor quickly cleared up Lyman's familiarity. The one who appeared in the audition room of this bungalow was indeed the later generations. The famous Joker is just a younger version.

Sitting on the chair across from Lehman's desk, Heath Ledger looked a little restrained, I'm here to apply for a leading role in a movie, is there anything I need to do?

Although I don't know why Heath Ledger, who made his Hollywood debut, went to France, this did not prevent Lehmann from trying to audition.

In later generations, his acting skills will undoubtedly be recognized by most people, but it is hard to say that he is so young now.

Moreover, the appearance of a young man who has just emerged from society is far from the character setting of Paul in Buried Alive - Paul should be a middle-aged man in his thirties, who has formed a family, has a lovely daughter, and has a certain career. stage, but faced some difficulties in life.

The sense of surprise from hearing the introduction just now faded away quickly, and Lehman forced to hide his disappointment and said, Can you perform a scene where your heart is empty and desperate?

Can I look at the general script first? If it's inconvenient, I... Some projects will wait until the actors are confirmed before releasing the script, in order not to reveal the plot setting, Heath Ledger like this Said, leave enough room to deal with, so as not to embarrass both sides.

Lehman has no concerns about this. For those actors who had interviewed before, if someone asked to read the script, he would also provide it, but most people just wanted to be able to act. As for what to act, it doesn't matter, so In fact, not many will seriously study the script.

Here. Ryan took out a printed screenplay from the drawer and handed it to Heath Ledger.

thanks.

Thanks politely, Heath Ledger took the script and started to read it. There was no information on the previous bulletin board. He didn't know what the role of the audition was? Just know the protagonist.

Now, after watching the detailed plot, Heath Ledger understands why the gentleman who asked the question at the beginning was a little disappointed.

The protagonist Paul is set as a middle-aged married man, and he is so young, it is inevitable that people will doubt whether he can play this role well.

The image can also be changed through makeup, but that life experience and temperament cannot be given.

However, no matter what the character setting is, he came here to audition, hoping to do his best to get the chance to perform. He is not one to give up easily!

Okay, sir, we can start auditioning now. Hands back the script, Heath Ledger took a deep breath, acting the feeling of despair in your heart, right?

Um.

This emotional excerpt is when the protagonist Paul tried to get through many distress calls, but was overwhelmed by the unforgiving reality.

He had read the script and knew the general situation.

Heath Ledger slowly closed his eyes, adjusted his sitting position, and then sketched in his mind the feeling of being trapped in a narrow space and feeling helpless.

The endless darkness slowly descended, surrounding him, and began to shrink little by little. He no longer thinks he's auditioning, and concentrates his mind on the character Paul, trapped underground...
