Quiet, there was silence in the deck. Paul secretly lifted his eyes from the back of the menu and looked at it. Renly, Andy and Neal were all looking down at the menu, as if they were deciding an important choice for survival. , There is no comfort in the quiet atmosphere.

There is only Fan alone, impatiently glowing with the pages of the menu, the sound of scrolling and pulsing spread in the peaceful air, and his frowning eyebrows show his dissatisfaction and irritability without any concealment.

Paul was thinking about how to ease the atmosphere, and then he heard Lan Li’s voice ringing in his ears, "Fan, when will'Xtreme Agent' shoot the sequel? Can't you return?"

This not only broke the tranquility, but also broke the embarrassment. In an instant, the attention of Paul, Andy, and Neal were all directed towards Lan Li, and of course, Fan.

The corners of Fan’s mouth were a little itchy. He wanted to answer, but he had to suppress it. The face in front of him was still so disgusting, and the mouth was chattering endlessly, "I watched'Xtreme Agent 2'before. The only thought is, why did this movie have to be made? Honestly, the first extreme sports really opened my eyes to me. Did you personally play the scene where you jumped off the bridge?"

"Yes." Before the brain could control it, the voice ray had already answered first, and the eager emotions in the body broke the blockade of reason, and began to introduce it endlessly, "The situation was like this..."

Andy lowered his head with confidence, continued to browse the menu, seriously thinking about what to eat for dinner, not worrying about the situation of Ren Li, vaguely, Andy noticed the scorching gaze on top of his head, and he saw it when he raised his head. With Neil's probing eyes, Andy showed a smile, lifted the menu in his hand, and seemed to be asking: Have you ordered the food?

Neil also raised the menu to indicate, then lowered his eyes to make the appearance of browsing the menu. In fact, his ears have been listening to the conversation. Fan's ebullient voice enlivened the atmosphere, and occasionally he could hear Lan Li. Or the voice of Paul answering, but Fan is mainly speaking alone.

This doesn't look like a role audition at all, it's like a gathering of a group of friends.

Neil's head couldn't help but think of Lan Li's personal information. He has only appeared in two works so far, and he is only 21 years old in two months, but in just a few months, he quickly jumped up. , First the Emmy Awards, then Toronto, the upward momentum is really unexpected. But other than that, his information is lackluster.

Recall what I have seen and heard in Telluride over the past two days. The two works of "The King's Speech" and "Social Network" are unmatched in the limelight, but the number of discussions on "Buried Alive" and "127 Hours" is also far ahead. But the two are somewhat different. "127 Hours" Danny Bauer is mentioned more and more times, while "Buried alive" is the word of mouth of Lan Li becoming more and more dense.

There is tonight, a great performance tonight. You can see from Andy’s reaction. He is not worried at all; however, if Neil has an actor like Renly, he really doesn’t need to worry—

Calm and wise, advancing and retreating properly, elegant and calm, not only does not have the green and immature new actors, but also does not have the nervousness and panic during the audition. From the beginning to the end, he always showed the rare general style, even during the whole conversation. In, faintly prevailed.

"Ren Li, you seem to have nothing to do with action movies, so if you become an action actor, what is your advantage?" After ordering, Neil took the initiative to open the topic and took the initiative. The same words, compared with Fan just now, Neil's casual words are peaceful, but there is a kind of decisiveness that can't be quizzed.

"Well, my 100-meter score can go into twelve seconds?" Lan Li pondered for a moment and gave an answer that he was not right, but then everyone heard the subtext:

What advantages do action actors need? Able to fight, run, and agile posture, that’s all. After all, it’s impossible for Hollywood to find pure martial arts actors like Li/Xiao/Long, and these requirements need to be fulfilled. Lan Li is now You can't show it with your mouth. Therefore, there is such an absurd answer, which can at least prove that Lan Li's motor nerves are very developed.

After understanding, Paul chuckled as the first one, and then the others couldn't help but smile.

Lan Li's eyebrows were slightly raised, and his eyes fell on the opposite Fan-he and Neil were sitting on the same side, and the shift of his eyes was always a bit strange. "I thought the appearance was one of my advantages." Lan Li's follow-up words once again exceeded everyone's expectations.

It's still 2010. In 2014, even the old British gentlemen like Colin Firth appeared in "Ace Agent: Secret Service Academy", and they were well received. The appearance was never the shackles of action movies. Unfortunately, Lan Li has no way to cite Colin's example.

However, as Lan Li said, the "Speed ​​and Excitement/Emotion" series is a classic action movie, but the routine is too serious. It has been continuing the route of greater scenes, greater explosions, and more aggressive racing. The casting is like this. This is how Dawn Johnson came into the line of sight of the crew, but Dawn has been selected for the fifth part, so what about the sixth?

In fact, a truly outstanding action actor should not be too big, because the action will appear to be sluggish, and the light body will gain some advantages. Harrison Ford's appearance in "Star Wars" and "Indiana Jones" is not a traditional action. Actor style.

"Or, your role setting is far from me? Then, I don't see where this conversation will go today." In a few short words, Lan Li calmly took the initiative again. Quan held it in his hand, and then threw the question back.

Fan obviously didn't expect it, and was stunned for a while-when did a rookie who only acted in a movie started to ask questions during the audition process? When did an unknown little guy dare to take the initiative to ask questions to the producer? How dare he!

There are too many actors in Hollywood, even third-line and fourth-line actors who have appeared in one or two works. Independent movies are everywhere. Any brick can throw an unknown person who has been on the Sundance stage. . During most of the audition process, the actors did not even have time to introduce themselves. They were directly eliminated in just ten seconds. The audition directors had to see hundreds of fresh faces a day, not to mention accepting questions, even The greeting dialogue is too lazy to proceed.

Although, thanks to the brilliance of the two works "Pacific War" and "Buried alive", as well as the two stages of Toronto and Telluride, Lan Li was able to audition face to face, but in essence, He is still a complete rookie. It is the first time that Neal and Fan have heard of the name "Renley Hall" until today.

Lan Li asked back this time, and really killed Fan by surprise. Poor Van Diesel, sitting face-to-face with Renly, it would be better if it were Neil.

Still Neil took the conversation calmly, "Then what is your role setting?" Fan turned his head to look at Neil for the first time, avoiding Lan Li's sight, but after reacting, his heart The anger in the depths began to flank again-what newcomer is this? Arrogant, ignorant, rude, self-righteous, weed out! There is no doubt, directly eliminated!

"Have you seen the'Speed ​​and Excitement/Emotion' series? If you interspersed a character in it, how would you set it?" Jiang was still lao, and Neil followed Lan Li's words and asked further questions. Both Paul and Fan looked at Lanly at the same time. At this moment, the audition was the real start.

Lan Li thought about it seriously, did not evade the question, and gave the answer directly, "Jack Bauer." The actor of the classic American drama "24 Hours", Jack Bauer, who is known as the "immortal Xiaoqiang".

As a counter-terrorism expert, Jack is a very classic character. Wisdom and bravery coexist. He is decisive, calm and wise, has clear thinking, and does not procrastinate. When Kiefer Sutherland, who played this role, appeared in the first season, He is not a typical action actor, his physique is not strong, but his skills are vigorous, and his fierce temperament has made Jack Bauer a classic.

If we talk about the role depth and ideological connotation in an action movie with a full-scale adrenaline burst like "Speed ​​and Excitement/Emotion"~www.novelhall.com~, it will inevitably drag down the overall rhythm of the movie, just like it restarted later." The Bourne Shadows repeated the series, the fourth and the fifth, but fell behind. Naturally, Lan Li would not make such a mistake.

Therefore, choosing a clear character concept, positioning and shaping the character style before filming, and then implementing it into the movie, integrating with the movie style is the most important thing. The classic action movie series such as "The Bourne Shadow", "Mission Impossible", "007", and "Die Hard" are all such successes.

Lanly’s example is very accurate and clear. Neil instantly understood what he meant. Jack Bauer and Dawn Johnson’s styles are completely different, but they unexpectedly conform to Lanly’s temperament, which is more accurate. Said that if Lan Lilly played the role of Jack Bauer, Neil thought it would be very interesting-he couldn't help thinking of Keanu Reeves in his mind, thinking of Keanu's "speed of life and death" and " Performance in The Matrix. Keanu is not a typical action actor.

I have to admit that Neil’s curiosity was mobilized, but he did not appear on the surface, but continued to ask, "Then we can use Kiefer Sutherland. Compared to him, what do you have? What is the advantage?"

"Heh." Lan Li chuckled lightly, without the slightest panic. He pursed the corners of his mouth, the slight smile hidden on his lips, like a flower bud blooming proudly on the treetops in spring, "Let’s talk My disadvantage, you all know Kiefer, but you don't know me... Wait, this seems to be my advantage." Lanly turned his head, passed Paul, and looked at Neal, "Isn't it?"
