Chapter 72 Foreign Auditions
In the smoky room, French director Patrice Shahou frequently looked at the Chinese actor in front of him with his brown eyes.
The script of "Love Death" is not complicated, but for actors, it is not easy to interpret that kind of entangled but complex emotions.
The reason why he sent an audition invitation to the Chinese actors in front of him was because the actors in front of him had a very accurate grasp of emotions in the film "Purple Butterfly".
His vision was indeed correct. In just a few minutes, this Chinese male actor named Gan Tao showed his anxiety and anxiety in his mouth.
Looking at the short stubble on Gan Tao's chin and the short black hair standing upright on his scalp, Patrice Xiahou bit his upper lip, frowned and the fat white man beside him muttered: "How is it?"
A French word poured into his ears, and Gan Tao's eyes lit up. He could understand this French word.
Just as he sighed that he had foresight and learned two more French, he was stunned the next moment. The fat white man said a long sentence in a rumor, but none of them could be understood.
He felt quite satisfied with the audition performance just now.
What a confusion, anxiety, and a constipation-like expression is not too difficult for him.
After all, he has also appeared in several literary and artistic movies, and the characters in each play are still like a dead person. Even if he is a pig, he should have some experience.
But what is going on now that there is no nodding and no rejection?
Although the two people who were not sure about the interview were communicating, after thinking about it, he had a little idea.
It's probably just a matter of skin color.
"Love Death" is an authentic French film. Under normal circumstances, it is definitely more appropriate to be performed by French actors.
If it were him, a yellow-skinned and dark-eyed Asian actor, he might have to change the script, character design, or even the plot.
In addition, the producers have to consider whether the French audience recognizes the Asian actor and whether they are willing to go to the cinema for the actor.
Over the years, there is only one Asian male actor who has truly played the No. 1 role in French films - Liang Jiahui.
The movie is called "Love" and it is very similar to the movie "Love Death".
But who knows whether Gan Tao, like Liang Jiahui, has a beautiful buttock that fascinates French audiences!
Unconsciously touched his butt, which was not quite sensational. He was about to spit on himself, but Patrice Xiahou said in English: "Go, you go back and rest first. We have to discuss it for a while. You may need a second audition."
He straightened his ears, and then he probably understood that he had to audition, and nodded and left.
The European-style buildings on the street made him unfamiliar with him, and he felt even more uncomfortable when he touched his shriveled pockets.
Before coming, he thought it was just a simple audition and he had to go back in two days and wait for the filming in China to start, or the news of being rejected.
But unexpectedly, the audition time has been delayed again and again, and now he has to audition for the second time, which makes his pocket less and less steel. If this continues, he can't even afford to live in a hotel.
"Brother, have you set off?"
In the boss's gaze as if he was thief, he called Xu Zheng, who was so far away that he was unknown.
"Didn't leave? That's right! You come to France first and borrow some travel expenses to me, otherwise I can't even go back to my country!"
His words are true at all.
In addition to giving some of the family he accumulated in the past few years, the rest of his life was put on the startup Tongxin Company.
This year, the actor who played Tong Bo's role in "Water Moon Cave" for 15,000 yuan per episode has not yet settled.
So there is really no money on it.
...
It was still the room without much color, and the interviewer was still the director and the fat white man.
But when he stood in the position a few days ago and saw a woman with a small figure standing in the corner, he could no longer calm down.
Isabel Huppel, a famous French actress, has won two Silver Bear Awards at the Cannes Film Festival alone, the most recent one was two years ago.
He licked his upper and lower lips and felt his scalp numb.
Director Patrice is already unattainable in his heart. If Isabel Hupper joins, he would not know what this plot movie called "Love Death" would look like.
Isabel is very small, and is only about 1.6 meters tall. He is shorter than him in high heels, and he is completely inferior to the tall body of Europeans.
Black and red curly hair, beautiful face, and mature age add to the charm.
But he acted very politely, and he respected another actor as an actor!
"She came back because of material things, material things!"
An English word was highlighted by director Patrice because he was afraid that he didn't understand it.
"The Eloping Wife is Back, But Not Because of Love, But It's Material."
In just a moment, he remembered the plot of the director's speech.
Director: "OK?"
Isabel nodded.
He pointed to the door and said to the two in a less neat English: "I'll open the door and come in."
Outside the door, he rubbed his cheap casual suit and rubbed his face again until he was wrinkled. He was still a little embarrassed after rubbing his face, and then he said through the door: "Okay!"
A word of "action" sounded.
Jian buried his head and slowly pushed open the door, then pushed it casually, pulled the bow tie that did not exist, and took off his suit and threw it casually.
Isabel in the room stood straight, watching his series of movements, with no trace of color on his eyes.
The sudden return wife made Jian suspicious. He had nowhere to put his hands and feet, but in the end he only called out his wife's name.
But the dark eyes had a clear joy, and the look that looked at his wife, made people understand that Jane was happy.
“Ok.”
After calling out Patrice, who clenched his fists against his chin, he looked at the two actors in front of him, not knowing what to say.
Actress Isabel has little room for performance, so she is considered to be a normal person.
But he felt that the male actor's performance was very strange, because it was less unrestrained than Europeans, or because of the implicitness of Asian actors.
After Isabel, who was specially invited to play, left, Patrice sent an invitation to drink coffee to Gan Tao. He felt that he should talk to the Asian actor.
"Drink coffee?"
Gan Tao was not very interested, but he was eager to know what the director was thinking, whether to use it or not, and to make a clear statement.
He really didn't want to continue like this. He didn't want to spend money like water, but also wasted time. It was a habit to have nothing to do with food, clothing, housing and transportation. If Patrice hadn't been too famous, he would have given up returning to China.
"Chinese people are subtle?"
After listening to the director's speech, he was speechless. If a man in China was cuckolded, her mother would not recognize her mother if she didn't beat her. It would be light and implicit.
As for the performance that way at that time, he was simply not performing well. He was going to say a few words of stinginess in French, but when he said that, he forgot about it.
It was another meaningless conversation. A week later, at the stall where he was in trouble, he finally waited for Xu Zheng and his wife.
