The other door of the room was pushed open, James Cameron walked in, looked at the girl who had paused the performance because of his sudden appearance and felt nervous, frowned slightly, and quickly walked to the assistant and sat down. , asked softly, "How's it going?"
"There are still 14 girls waiting to be auditioned. Of the 22 girls who have tried, Mr. Clark has selected 8 girls between the ages of 12 and 16. Do you want to watch the tape or the material first." Assistant asked.
"Look at the data first."
After taking the information handed over by the assistant, James flipped through it. Most of these girls have experience in shooting commercials. Two of them have also played small roles in TV dramas. Clark's fancy, at least it shows that they have a good sense of camera, so should I choose among them
The director shrugged. It was a pity that Angela rejected the role. He was still thinking about the "Titanic" script in her hand. When Angela suggested to him to rebuild a Titanic for filming, he was obsessed with giant machines and immediately felt a sense of resonance, and he was eager to make the biggest investment in filming in history.
However, Angela is obviously not interested in "True Lies", although the idea was provided by her, or because of his "notoriety"? James smiled self-deprecatingly, shook his head, put these aside, and looked at the girl who was performing. Since he just came in, he has already changed two. Plus this one is not very good, or it can only be among the eight. picked.
When another girl came in, James was already planning to leave. He still had a lot of things to do, but he just got up and sat back immediately. The girl who came in looked very beautiful, obviously a mixed race, a little nervous, but then Calm down, puff out your chest, and look very confident.
James felt that the other party was a little familiar, he seemed to have seen it somewhere, and the confidence exuded from the girl's heart made him very interested, so he simply read this before leaving.
The girl first came to a recitation, her voice was light and slightly shrill, and at the same time a little immature; then there was a drama, although it was only performed by one person, but she still performed it with great care and dedication.
At the end, it was a temporary interpretation of a clip in the movie. In the last part, the terrorist leader Aziz chased Tina to the top of the building. Tina climbed onto the boom of the crane. Aziz was afraid of hanging the nuclear bomb key, so he Yan coaxed Tina, but after hesitating, Tina saw through his lies and accelerated to climb in front of the boom.
There were no props and no arrangements, so I temporarily found someone to read the lines next to me. Even if I was familiar with this script before coming in, it was still a big test for the girl.
"Give me the keys!" the staff yelled off-camera.
"Don't come here, or I'll throw the key away!" the girl cried out, reaching for the nonexistent key, "I swear I will! Don't come here!"
"Give me the key! Child, you don't want to die, do you? Give me the key, and I won't hurt you! I promise! Give me the key!" The staff said in a slow tone, seductively.
The girl looked hesitant, wondering if she should trust the other party, but after a few seconds she shook her head and screamed, "Stop dreaming! You lunatic!"
The performance ended, James nodded secretly and shook his head again. The girl was very confident and the performance was remarkable, but this confidence was brought into the performance. I can't help but say that I am a little regretful, and I seem to be a little younger. Barely can also be selected within the range.
After the girl left, the director motioned his assistant to put the girl on the optional list, and then looked up her information and found that she was a student who had just entered the acting school, who had worked in a FOX TV mini-series. Two or three minutes into the small role, with barely enough experience, he looked at the girl's name: Jessica Alba.
James was stunned for a while, she was very familiar, and when he thought of the time he first saw her, he also felt a little familiar. He searched for a few seconds in his memory, and finally remembered that he had seen her at Angela's 12th birthday party. , is her friend!
Although James remembered who Jessica was, Jessica didn't notice James' existence at all. Even if she did, she would only feel familiar at most. She had long forgotten that Cameron appeared at Angela's birthday party. .
Now Jessica's whole body and mind are filled with the excitement brought by the audition. This is the first time she has participated in a movie audition. Although it is similar to a TV drama audition, it is a big screen after all. It is true Thanks to Mr. Luther, if it weren't for him, how could I have just learned to perform for such an opportunity.
"Jesse, what are you thinking?" The father's voice came from the driver's seat, and he had called several times.
"Ah? Oh, nothing, I'm just a little excited." Jessica shrank her neck and said.
"It's normal, Mr. Alba, Jessica is the first time to audition for a movie, and it's the work of the great director, Mr. James Cameron. It's inevitable to be excited." Mr. Luther, who was sitting in the co-pilot, helped her. explained.
"I know, but this is just an audition, don't get too excited, Jesse, you're just getting started, do you remember what I told you before?" Mr. Alba reminded.
"Of course I remember, Dad, even if I don't pass the audition, I won't give up!" Jessica said confidently, as long as she mentioned acting, she was always like this, she knew she had to be confident, otherwise , I will not be able to catch up with Angela, even if I can only follow behind her, but I can't fall too far! She kept saying that to herself.
The car stopped at the intersection a few dozen meters from her home. After Jessica got out of the car, she waved goodbye to her manager. Her father would send him back, and then she quickly walked home.
However, a few steps later, a silver-gray car suddenly stopped at the door of her house. Soon, the girl wearing sunglasses opened the door and jumped out, looking familiar. When the girl pushed the sunglasses to her head, Jessica immediately recognized those green eyes, Angela! But why has her hair turned dark brown
Jessica looked at the girl who was about to cross the lawn to knock on the door in surprise. She couldn't believe her eyes. Angela with dark brown hair gave a completely different feeling. She couldn't describe it. With a little hazy temperament, now it has a feeling of being made of water, which has a different attraction than before.
At this time, Angela, who was walking on the lawn, also noticed that someone was watching her, turned her head to look, and suddenly showed a happy smile, jumped over happily, and hugged Jessica: "Jesse!"
But Jessica smiled reluctantly, and there was an inexplicable emotion between her brows.
Angela discovered her abnormality and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong? Is there anything you're not happy about?"
"No... I..." Jessica waved her hand unconsciously, and suddenly grabbed Angela and walked towards the door. The speed was so fast that she almost dragged her. Angela took three steps and followed behind with two steps, only in time to follow. The driver, David, made a sign to wait for me, and was dragged into the house. Then he said hello to Mrs. Alba, and was dragged up the stairs again. It was not until she entered the bedroom that Jessica let go, and then tightened her grip. After walking a few steps, she turned her back to Angela and took a deep breath, as if she was brewing emotions.
After closing the door for her, Angela asked carefully, "What's the matter, Jesse."
"Did something go wrong between us?" Jessica asked suddenly with her back to her.
"what?"
"Or are you mad at us? Or are we annoying you?" She still didn't turn around.
"Jesse, what are you talking about, why can't I understand it?" Angela suddenly wondered.
"Then why didn't you give us the news? It's been more than a month from Christmas to today. We don't even know where you are. We called your house and said that you asked not to tell anyone where you were. Can't we say Can't you even write us a letter?" Jessica turned around suddenly and said excitedly, although she repeatedly told herself that she had to restrain herself, Angela must have her own things to do this did, but immediately threw these out of the sky when she saw her.
Angela opened her mouth and was about to speak when Jessica suddenly ran over and hugged her tightly, pressing it so tightly that it seemed like she would disappear in the next second, the girl was startled at first , but when she felt the other person's warm body and throbbing heartbeat, she couldn't help hugging Jessica, and a sense of shame came out.
"Sorry Jessie, I - went to New Zealand to make a movie because - time was tight, I couldn't tell you, and the message to Aunt Jennifer was just a joke, didn't expect - she did, if it worries you Now - I'm sorry." Angela patted Jessica's back and said.
It took a long time for Jessica to let go of Angela, and she suddenly felt a little embarrassed. According to Chinese idioms, her subconscious action was an out-and-out expression of a deep niece, and of course Jessica would not know. This word, and Angela would not associate it in that way, so after the two girls looked at each other, they giggled in unison, and then they both threw themselves on the bed and began to communicate about their recent lives.
"So, you auditioned for James Cameron's "True Lies"? Are you sure?" Angela scratched her head and asked, this world is really amazing, if Jessica was spotted by James and participated in the show If so, will it affect future TV shows
"I don't know, but it doesn't matter if I fail, I will try my best." Jessica turned over and looked at the ceiling.
"Well, very good, this is my Jessica." Angela said with a smile, and suddenly leaned in and kissed her on the face.
"Hey, don't kiss me!" Jessica slapped Angela pretending to be annoyed, and then asked, "What movie are you filming in New Zealand? Is it fun? Is it cold?"
"Honey, it's summer in the southern hemisphere," Angela replied lazily. "It's a 19th-century story. It was basically shot in the jungle. I had to dye my hair to match the characters in the show. It's impressive that the mosquitoes there are the size of half a fist, and they fly around at night, and one bite can be painful for days."
"Really?" Jessica's eyes widened.
"I lied to you!" Angela made a face, which made Jessica angry for a while, and immediately rushed to grab her armpit. The girl screamed and hurriedly dodged, and the two got into trouble again.
In fact, Angela didn't want to talk about the movie "Piano Lesson". During the filming in New Zealand for more than a month, she learned a lot with her heart, but at the same time, it also made her very resistant to certain things, such as one of them. These scenes are quite explicit, and they are not much more condescending than the "Lust X" she watched in her previous life. She really can't understand why the directors are keen to shoot such scenes. If the "Piano Lesson" is because its theme is this , So there are so many movies that I have seen in my previous life, but there are always such scenes? Wouldn't a movie not be called a movie without such a shot? Anyway, I will definitely not make this kind of movie in the future! Even if there is, I have to delete it! Well, of course, if you want to have that much power, there is still a long way to go.
The girls fought for a while, then finally stopped, panting and lying side by side.
"Have you finished filming?" Jessica asked at this time.
"Of course, Jesse, but I have to come back now even if I haven't finished filming." Angela rolled her eyes, she felt that Jessica seemed to have become stupid, was it because she was often with Lindsay? Hearing her take a bite of us just now made her a little weird.
"You have to come back before the filming is over?" Jessica was a little puzzled, but she immediately reacted and clapped her hands violently: "God, I forgot, in a few days it will be the Grammy Awards Ceremony!"
