MTL - I’m in Hollywood-Chapter 7 Audition
Eric followed James to a small temporary studio and looked at everything familiar. Eric was slightly excited and silently talking to the surrounding film equipment: "Wait, baby, this time. I must be the movie legend that everyone looks up to. When I want to let future generations remember Hollywood, it is like the biography of Barry Diller. When people mention Eric Williams, he said: He is Hollywood!"
As the author of the script, all the questions about the role understanding during the audition were skipped and the performance was started directly.
In the past, Eric has also been an actor in the struggle, and has exposed his face in many movies and TV series. After all, in that circle, when an actor in a friend's team matches his image, often a phone call is pulled over and run, and the tens of thousands of pays are mixed, and the network is extended. Maybe when will it touch? It’s a chance.
Penny Marshall randomly selected a few shots to make Eric perform, the first few episodes are very simple, Eric has practiced for a few days in private, plus the clear picture of the original movie in his mind, Eric is very I performed it easily.
This surprised the onlookers Brooks and Penny Marshall. Eric’s performance is not like a novice with no performance experience. If this level is also taken during the official shooting, then Eric’s short-term training is even connected. You don't have to go through, you can start film preparation directly.
"Next, Eric, try this paragraph." Penny smiled and handed Eric a script. Eric confirmed from her expression that this is a passing, and she was relaxed, he just I am also afraid of what I have done wrong.
Looked at the script in his hand, this is on the stage of the school stage, Mike comforted the daughter of the daughter who broke up with the boyfriend. In this scene, Mike’s favorite is also the most classic line of the film.
"Ms. Penny, I need an actress to play against me in this play."
"Of course," said Penny Marshall, to a female staff member next to me: "Telissa, come and play with Eric."
The play lasted more than two minutes, so Eric and the girl named Teresa prepared for a few minutes. Teresa only needs to remember the lines. After all, she is just a 'prop". Eric is seriously aware of the emotions shown in this scene, seeing her daughter’s concern when she is crying, and hearing her daughter may follow When Stan went to bed, he was mad, and when he was comforting his daughter, he was so clumsy and ill, and when his daughter rushed to ask for joy, he was helpless.
When it was ready, a staff member shouted an action and the performance was just the beginning.
Maggie sat on a prop box and pretended to cry.
Mike stepped forward and his face looked with concern.
"Hey, Maggie, what happened."
"Go away." Maggie retracted her hands in her sleeves, ignoring Mike's continued crying.
"Hey, what happened?" Mike sat next to Maggie.
"What do you want to do, touch my head and say, 'I told you already?'"
"No, no, no, I won't." Mike hurriedly argued: "I just want to know what happened."
"Stan has made me jealous."
"Stan has smashed you!" Mike raised his eyebrows slightly, and the surprise on his face flashed away, and then it became angry and unbelievable.
A father found that his daughter broke up with a scum boyfriend, and of course he would be very happy. The reaction came when the man married his daughter and became angry and unbelievable. In the father's concept, my daughter is so good, and of course it should be the daughter who smashed the scum, and the scum man swears his daughter!
James Brooks and Penny Marshall, who are watching Eric’s performances, are all surprised at the moment. If Eric’s performance is sixty, then this is just a facial expression change. Eric’s performance has been raised to ninety. Some of James recognizes Eric, and the person who can do his position is certainly not the kind of paranoia that once it is harmful to people, it is difficult to change the concept.
The performance of two people on the court is still going on.
Hearing that his daughter might go to bed with Stan, Mike suddenly became mad, and after confirming that something bad had not happened, he held her daughter again, scratching her head awkwardly, and organizing words to comfort her daughter.
"When you are young, the fart is like the end of the world. It is not like this. Everything has just begun. On this road, you may encounter several mixed balls, but one day, you will meet one. The boy who holds you in your hand, surrounds you like the sun, rises and falls."
"really?"
"of course."
"You are so intimate." Maggie flew into Mike's arms. After Mike found out that her daughter's emotions were not normal, she shrank back and forth, grabbed her bag and stood up, and invited her daughter to join her. Party, while resisting the fall of her daughter.
啪——啪——啪——
After the two men had just finished performing, James Brooks and Penny Marshall couldn’t help but applaud. With their professional vision, of course, I can see how great Eric’s performance is. The side staff saw the director and the producer's actions, and they all echoed.
Michael Klaus smirked his hand next to his mouth, although he also felt that Eric’s performance was excellent. After all, he was not a professional, but he knew from the actions of James and Penny that Eric passed the audition. This means that the "Return to Seventeen" script is sold successfully. He can get a commission of at least $100,000. Although he has a small publishing house and his performance is good, his total net worth is four or five million. Most are still real estate. A one-time start of 100,000 US dollars, which is also a huge sum for him.
Through the most critical audition, many things have become logical.
Eric sold the script for $250,000 and $500,000 respectively and signed an actor contract. The price of the script is 50,000 dollars more than expected. This is what Michael is fighting for. After all, half of it is his. As for the pay, although Eric’s performance is excellent, he is a newcomer, 500,000. The US dollar is also understandable.
In a twinkling of an eye, Eric found that he already had more than $600,000 in net worth. Although the actor’s pay was paid until the filming was completed, it still gave him the illusion of being separated from the world. If there were so much money in the past life, he would definitely Make a movie yourself. It is a pity that in the past few circles in the past, there have been only a few of them who have worked hard to become directors.
After signing the contract, Eric left the Fox photography base with a check. The rest is the preparation of the film, although he wants to participate in the accumulation of some experience, but after all, he just got the good impression of the product person and the director, he does not want to leave them with the illusion of too much intervention in the movie.
As for the performance class in the original plan, it was canceled. In the words of Penny Marshall, Eric’s performance was perfect. There was no need to waste time on those junior performance courses. As for the performances, As long as it is corrected during the shooting process.
Going to the bank with Michael Klaus and redeeming the check and paying Michael $125,000, Eric is not too distressed. Although Michael didn't do much, it's enough to just recommend the script to the right person. If it is only by himself, without any connections, I don’t know if the monkeys can sell the scripts, let alone the conditions attached to them.
Next, Jeff resigned in the expectation. After all, for more than a month, Eric invited his colleagues to hold a small party at home. Jeff and several older colleagues were not present.
After a night of carnival, Eric was drunk and drunk by his colleagues.
