Chapter 46 When a rtionship household meets a rtionship household (Chapter 6K)
Everyone knew in their hearts that this gathering was the real end of the "Home Alone" project. If there were no idents, after tonight''s farewell, they would have the chance to meet when the movie was released at the end of the year.
Because of this, David wanted to help Rnd, get as much information from these guys as possible, and these guys who had a good impression of Rnd didn''t mean to stop talking, and just told what they learned The news, all said out.
Everyone chatted until nine o''clock, and then went back to each house to find their mothers. Before leaving, Chris Columbus helped Rnd onest time, "Three dayster, "Back to the Future 3" directed by Robert Zemeckis " will have its premiere in Los Angeles, and Steven will be there, as far as I know, Howard and John have tickets, of course, I also have..."
"Oh, thank you, but no need..." Rnd declined Columbus''s kindness. "Meeting at the premiere is not a good sign. The purpose is too strong and it will easily arouse his disgust."
Although Rnd really wanted to win this project, a radical approach was not advisable.
After losing the ability of repeated trial and error given by the time loop, Rnd dared not act recklessly.
There is only one chance, and he doesn''t want to ruin it because of his rash behavior.
"That…"
"All right…"
"you…"
"Forget it, you should continue preparing..."
Hearing the faltering words, Rnd was a little puzzled.
However, he only thought that Columbus wanted to pull himself to the premiere, but he couldn''t find a good excuse, so he gave up.
Looking at the figure of the other party who is gradually moving away, the thanks that poured to his mouth have not been said for a long time.
And when the other party''s taillights disappeared from Rnd''s sight, Rnd went back to the house.
With the end of the dinner party, Rnd is also making the final sprint for the next sixteen days.
In the morning, Rnd followed David''s spoken English teacher for special practice. Because the other party has rich experience in training actors, the affectionate poetry recitation in ordinary ssrooms was directly abandoned, and those public scripts were taken out to perform scene interpretation. Performing to find problems, correct and revise, this way is much better than directly reading aloud.
In the afternoon, Rnd went into the screening room, watched the movies rmended by Columbus, and tried to find things that could help him from those cases.
In the evening, Rnd, who finished his meal and went home to rest, would put on a tank of hot water, turn on David Bowie''s music, take afortable soak in a hot bath, and then pick up the guitar and practice for an hour.
Of course, Rnd will also help Aunt Gti and do some work between studies.
For example, when you wake up in the morning, you take James, a fat man, out for a run; during your lunch break, help the other party stare at the three sisters, so that they can spare time to deal with the things at hand; as for the evening?
David came back at night, so naturally Rndo didn''t need to worry about it.
In the face of a regr lifestyle, time flies by quickly.
On June 3rd, Mohamy showed up at Rnd''s door on time.
After having breakfast with everyone, he took Rnd to the studio of Columbia Samsung Pictures.
If the audition specifications of "Home Alone" belonged to a small broken mountain vige in the backcountry, then the audition grade of "Captain Hook" broke through the sky. When Mohamy took out the audition notice given by Columbus, the staff immediately sat on the He got the co-pilot, led them hand in hand, and found the office area in the north of the studio.
When they got out of the car, the logo of Dingzhuang caught their attention.
Not only that, the construction team with hundreds of people is also what surprised them.
ording to the introduction of the staff, these guys are here to build full-size pirate ships and docks...
1:1:1 is not only the standard for blending oil for Arowana, but also Spielberg''s requirement on the set.
"Director Steven will use nine studios."
“The children’s yground in Nevend, the cabin of Captain Hook, the pier and the boat are all restored ording to the drawings.”
"Since you have entered the third round, you should have been here before?"
"We have been working for half a month, and the current scene is quite different from before."
Hearing the heroic words, Mohamy clicked his tongue endlessly.
If you give him the money for these sets, how many people can he recruit and how many games can he write?
Compared with the bumpkin Mohamy, Rnd, who has seen the world, was surprised, but not shocked.
Because in his opinion, Spielberg''s realm is not high enough.
In order to make a movie, the national teacher spent tens of millions of dors to build an antique courtyard house with blue tiles and gray walls-Tianfu Guanyi; Xiaogangpao directly built a Tangshan City that can live in for the movie; The Qin Pce, Orphan City, and Tang City that came out have be even more scenic spots!
Compared with them, Spielberg''s studio product is nothingpared to them.
Of course, Rnd will only keep these words in his heart, and will not say them out.
After taking a quick look, they followed the staff into the audition area, registered honestly, and submitted materials.
However, just when Rnd thought that there were at least five, six, seven or eighty-nine people in the final audition.
In the waiting area, a lone figure made him frown.
Walking over to take a look, a guy with a pot head was sitting there with nk eyes in a daze.
Beside him, there was only one empty seat.
There are only two people in the final round of auditions?
What''s happening here?
Just when Rnd was confused like a monk who was two feet tall, with his appearance, the little boy who was in a daze also came back to his senses, his gaze brushed Rnd''s face lightly, and then he smiled and stretched out Raised his right hand, "Are you Rnd Allen? Hello, I''m Charlie Cosmo, you can call me Charles."
What? !
Looking at the little white hand and listening to the natural words, Rnd''s thoughts flew instantly.
What''s happening here?
Mypetitors know me?
Under normal circumstances, the list of auditions for Hollywood crews will not be announced to the public, and only those who are rted can get the corresponding big list, but even so, who was screened out in the first round, and who was promoted in the second round , These news are all secrets of the crew, unless it is one of their own, otherwise don''t even try to get involved.
Of course, this is just a normal situation.
Guys like Rnd who have never gone through the first two rounds of auditions generally won''t have their resumes leaked.
unless…
The other party is also a rted household.
Moreover, the level of this rted household has to beparable to that of Rnd.
‘Is that so? ’ Rnd thought to himself.
At the same time, he also extended his right hand and shook lightly with the other party, "Hi, Charles, I''m Rnd..."
When the hands were intertwined, Rnd also took a seat, and then asked: "We didn''t seem to know each other before?"
"Could it be that I missed the information when I registered? No, the staff didn''t tell me what''s your name."
The undisguised doubt was thrown out by Rnd, and he was prepared, so he yed himself into a white lotus.
Facing his question, Charles, who wanted to have an in-depthmunication with Rnd, blinked his eyes unexpectedly, and he took back the words that had reached his mouth, and his curious tone followed the trend, "Rnd, they didn''t talk to Rnd. Did you mention me?"
"They? Who are you talking about?" Rnd opened his pure eyes wide, and muttered very freely.
"Chris Columbus, Robin Williams!"
Charles frowned slightly, and directly reported the names of the two people, and after that, he said in a puzzled tone: "It shouldn''t be, Dustin who rmended me, but told me about you... "
Sure enough...
He is also a rted household.
When Charlie Cosmo directly reported the name Dustin, Rnd directly identified the other party''s identity.
The reason is also very simple.
There are quite a few Hollywood stars named Dustin, but the guy named Dustin who can be associated with the "Captain Hook" project, except for Dustin Hoffman who ys Captain Hook, is not There may be others!
Yes, half a month ago, when the dinner was farewell, the reason why Columbus hesitated was here.
In this crewpletely controlled by Spielberg, there is no public audition at all.
Guys who don’t matter will die in the first round, and guys who are rted but not strong enough will die in the second round. Those who can pass the two rounds and meet Spielberg directly are basically directed by Spielberg’s close friends. The guy rmended by a friend.
Don''t look at this guy named Charlie Cosmo as a kid about the same age as Rnd, but he has actually made five movies, and the guy he worked with is not Warren Beatty or Al Pacino, It’s Bill Murray, Richard Dreyfuss: Maybe these names are not familiar to everyone, and they are not easy to recognize, but these are not the point. You don’t have to worry about who won the Oscar winner, who and Spier Berg, made "Jaws" and "Close Encounters of the Third Kind," not to mention who was in George Lucas'' "American Graffiti" and who was in Francis Copp''s " The Godfather, you just need to know that this guy was rmended by Captain Hook Dustin Hoffman in "Captain Hook", and the people above are all veterans of the Jewish gang …
is the kind of veteran who can hang Chris Columbus and Robin Williams.
"Dustin told me when I was filming "The Greatest Boss" with Warren (Beatty) that he was missing a little actor to y Peter Pan''s son in "Captain Hook," and he asked me if I had any. Interested, would you like toe, I said yes, so I was rmended by him..." Under Rnd''s constant cliché, Charlie Cosmo looked at Rnd with a smile, and told what happened to him, "I heard , your situation is the same as mine? You also received an invitation from Chris when you were filming?"
"Yes, same as you."
Facing Charles'' question, Rnd smiled and nodded. While responding, he also guessed the identity of the other party based on the information leaked by the other party. The information of the young actor on the movie poster, although it has been too long, he can''t recall the name and face of the other party at all, but he vaguely remembers that this guy seems to have really starred in "Captain Hook". Peter Pan''s son.
As for why Rnd recalled all this?
It''s because the child star in his memory only made a few movies in the 1990s, and thenpletely disappeared from Hollywood. Unlike other child stars, there is really no news about his disappearance. , the entertainment media seems to have forgotten him, and those ssics have never recalled him...
So it was Li Gui who met Li Kui?
Now it’s not so much fun...
In fact, when Chris Columbus told Rnd that he was selected by the crew of "Captain Hook", Rnd felt that he would definitely be able to win the role with inside information.
Because of this, he dared to boldly invest in himself and learn Oxford ent and London ent.
But now...
The master who yed Peter Pan''s son in his previous life is here!
This is not the same situation as skipping Macay Culkin and winning "Home Alone"!
At that time, Chris Columbus wanted to find a neer, so Rnd had an opportunity, but now, the rmender behind Charles is Dustin! With the opponent around, Rnd felt that his chances of winning were very slim.
Since everyone has formally filmed a film, it is natural that the rtionship between them is hard.
Charles has really cooperated with the big bosses of the Jewish gang, but what about Rnd and Robin Williams?
Haven’t even met face to face!
Fox fake tiger prestige is simply not applicable in this kind of asion!
As a result, Rnd felt that he was about to beep.
"From what you said, this role belongs to you..." Rnd smiled at the other party, and his helplessness was well hidden by him, "You really know Dustin, but I haven''t seen him yet." What about Robin..."
"Really? Dustin told me that Steven will definitely act impartially." Charles shook his head, "If he really would use me because of Dustin, then you wouldn''t have received today''s audition at all. notify."
After thinking about what the other party said, Rnd felt that there was nothing wrong with it.
Although Chris Columbus is definitely not as good as Dustin Hoffman, it is actually the same for Spielberg. If the rtionship between Spielberg and Columbus is not good, how can he help Columbus? , won "Home Alone"?
After thinking this way, Rnd felt relieved a lot.
But even so, when it came to the project of "Captain Hook", Rnd still didn''t have much confidence in the audition, he said, "Why don''t we make a bet, anyway, there are only two of us here, auditionter After the end, no matter who goes in first, we will wait for the other party to see who takes the role..."
"Okay..." Charles originally came here with the intention of making friends. If it wasn''t for this, he wouldn''t have greeted Rnd at all just now, "It''s going to be nine o''clock soon, and we cane out at ten o''clock at thetest , why don''t we have lunch together at noon? The winner treats?"
Before Rnd nodded to answer, the door of the audition room was suddenly pulled open from the inside, and the two casting directors who had met before appeared in front of Rnd and directly called out his name.
Rnd didn''t have time to say anything more, he nodded and smiled with Charles, then sorted out his best condition, and walked into the audition room.
Maybe it was because Dustin had included him in Robin Williams'' camp, or maybe it was because the main creative team attached great importance to this film, so when Rnd got in, he discovered that after the long audition table, There were actually three people sitting, Dustin, Robin, and Spielberg, all these bigwigs were present.
‘This is probably the biggest scene I have ever seen after time travelling. ''
''It seems that what Chris said is true, the producers and investors have no control over Spielberg at all. ''
Rnd thought quickly in his heart, and then showed a bright smile at the director and the creative team.
He has practiced this smile in front of the mirror for two months, and it is absolutely sincere.
"Rnd, I have read all the materials, and Chris also gave me the filming copy. Although you only acted in one movie, there is no problem with your performance." Spielberg cut to the chase, motioning for Rnd to sit down, While flipping through the documents in front of him, "Also, I found that in your performance, there are traces of being taught by Robert Zemeckis?"
"Did you deliberately imitate Henry Thomas (the little boy in "E.T.") in some scenes?"
Hearing what the other party said, Rnd immediately understood that the copy Spielberg was talking about was probably the direct-facing shots of most movies, and this must be the work of director Columbus; besides, Spielberg''s keen The gaze also made Rnd a little ashamed. You know, when they were filming "Home Alone", Columbus and the others never mentioned that Rnd''s performance had any traces.
“Yes, I love the Back to the Future series and your E.T.…”
Hearing this remark, Spielberg nodded and continued to ask: "Chris said you learned London ent and Oxford ent?"
"Yeah."
However, before Rnd showed his speech skills, Spielberg interrupted again: "However, your ent is not your biggest problem; after I saw your copy, I actually didn''t want to inform you, your There is no problem with your skills, or you yed very well in "Home Alone", but you are not the Jack I am looking for, do you understand what I mean?"
"I can see the naughty side of adolescent children in you, but I can''t find the innocence that belongs to children."
"Of course, this may be rted to your own experience."
"However, Jack in the film must have a childlike innocence, because this is a fairy tale, even if Peter Pan grows up, it is still a fairy tale, and Jack, who ys Peter Pan''s son, must show his yearning for fairy tales , but you—"
"Can you act it out?"
Hearing the continuous words, Rnd smiled wryly.
Childlike innocence was something Rnd had been searching for in the time loop for nearly two years, but he couldn''t find it.
Rnd didn''t expect that Spielberg didn''t even arrange to read the script and audition, and he asked the core directly.
And this core is exactly what he has lost, cannot get back, and will never be able to imitate.
"Sorry, Idon\''t know." Rnd shook his head, and answered the other party''s question very honestly.
Although he understands that once he answers this way, this character will go away from him, but—
Wouldn''t it be worse to die if you tricked a guy who could figure out who you learned your acting from?
"Good..." Rnd''s reply made Spielberg close the file, and at the same time, he handed the script in his hand to the staff beside him, "Choose the most certain clip by yourself, and I will give you five minutes time to prepare."
"If you can impress me, I can pretend that you didn''t say that."
"Of course, before you choose, I have to make it clear to you."
"The opportunity is given to you by Robin, Chris, Joe, and Daniel."
"Even if you can''t find that feeling, you should act well."
When Rnd turned his gaze to Robin Williams, the man who had never met him before nodded with a smile. Although Rnd didn''t understand why Spielberg suddenly mentioned Robin, but —
He reckoned that before he knew it, Gti must have gone to beg someone for him again.
Since Spielberg''s words were so straightforward, Rnd did not hesitate.
directly selected a clip and got ready.
Five minutester, when he performed the scene of Jack being controlled by Captain Hook in front of the three bosses, the three behind the audition table actually got the answer...
"I heard from Chris that you asked many people about acting and filming on the set."
"It can be seen that you acted well, but youck that pure feeling in your eyes."
"I won''t say anything redundant, if there is nothing else, you can go back."
All right…
Hearing what Spielberg said, Rnd didn''t feel that he had lost to Charlie Cosmo.
He lost to himself, to time, to a problem that couldn''t be solved at all.
Although he failed the audition, Rnd was not too discouraged.
Yes, he really wanted the role, but that doesn''t mean he couldn''t afford to lose.
Simply cleaned up his depressed mood, and tried hard not to think that his more than a month of study had been wasted. Before leaving, Rnd took out the autograph book from his bag and made a small request to the three present.
"Can I have an autograph, if possible?"
"At least it can prove that I have been here before."
The three bosses did not refuse Rnd''s request.
They wrote their blessings in the notebook one after another, and left their names.
Holding the heavy notebook, Rnd pushed open the door of the audition room. When he watched Charlie Cosmo get in, he felt a little rxed in his heart.
Perhaps, not participating in this movie is the best choice for him.
As Spielberg said, he has lost his innocence. Under such circumstances, forcing such a role will only backfire.
The start of "Home Alone" is good enough, he can''t expect that every movie he makes will be the best movie history...
Of course, even though he failed, it doesn''t mean he didn''t gain anything.
At least, he knew that Spielberg had included him in the Jewish gang.
