Chapter 176: 3 thumbs up!

"Wentworth, when auditioning, you have to be natural and confident, don't be nervous! Do you understand?" In the hallway in front of the interview room, listening to Wang Yang's words, Miller in a black suit was faceless. Nodded with an expression, but Wang Yang still frowned slightly. He has done too many auditions. Juno in "Junuo" alone has more than 3,000 people. He can see the emotions of the interviewer.
Wang Yang did not rush into the interview room and called Miller to the side, watching him with a calm voice: "Yes, this audition is only you interviewer. The dozen interviewers in it are all my morning phone calls. They are called for you only; there are ten interviewers who are not available in person, but you know, they will also watch your audition video. "
"Well, Mr. Wang, thank you very much!" Miller's heartbeat still cannot be reduced. He is not the first audition, but this special treatment is of course the first time.
Wang Yang shook his head. He said that this was for the guy to face the pressure openly. Knowing that there is no ng in the interview room, continue to say: "Now is not a thank you moment. Do n’t be nervous, nervousness will ruin everything and get a role We have to convince our gang. I have eliminated many people, because they are always afraid of the tail, and ask me 'Is this right?', 'Are you satisfied with this or that?' "
"The director is not God. The characters on the screen must be shaped by the actors to give them life. Even we can modify the script for you, but you have to have that charm and momentum. A successful salesman is always extremely confident, he will Let the guests believe that the things in his basket are the best; even if the basket contains a pile of shit, he will say that it is the best and coolest shit. "
Wang Yang said with a smile that he couldn't help but smile, just like the couple who sold him a bad-class eight camera to him, like "The Ghost Record" ... He patted Miller's shoulders full of thoughts and said: "If you can't believe in yourself, how can others believe in you? How can you trust that role to you? Think about it." He said, and he walked into the interview room first.
"Huh ..." Miller nodded silently, and some new ideas appeared in his heart, just like the initiation of something, and something that had been thinking for a long time suddenly understood. He should believe that he is the character from the beginning, and do n’t be cautious about making mistakes or doubts. Despite the fact that he is the chosen party, he has to behave like a salesman, like a master, and greet the interviewers well.
He understands that in this place in Hollywood, there are countless young people with the appearance of "Tom Hanks" or "Tom Cruise", they can initially get some opportunities and favors, just like the magical Yang said in the morning Okay, you should appear on the big screen ", he also heard a lot of such words, but in the end it became:" You ca n’t! You can go out now, it ’s not enough to have a face, wait for you to create something new Come again! "
There must be something that can convince and impress others, but if you ca n’t believe in yourself, how can others believe you?
Thinking of this, Miller took a deep breath, his heart slowly calmed down, and came to the interview room door confidently, knocked on the door and walked in. This time, he must succeed!
The spacious interview room is full of people. There are 6, 7 interviewers in suits and leather shoes behind the long interview table. There are also two people looking at the camera and 4, 5 people sitting on the sand. It's like having a banquet. Miller recognized several of them. The white man with blue tie was Paul Jones of the TV production department; the young man with bald forehead was director Dwight Ritter ...
Miller couldn't help but think of the importance that Magic Young paid to him. For a dog-walker who met in the park, he called these dozens of people to audition for him alone, crazy! With a faint smile on his face, he handed his resume photos and other things to the interview table and introduced himself: "Hello ladies and gentlemen, my name is Wentworth-Ear-Miller, and I am very happy to get this audition. opportunity."
"Jiang, his appearance is indeed very good.", "There is that sense of genius, Princeton University graduate? Not bad.", "I know him, he participated in my previous auditions, and now think he is really suitable This character. "...
The main creators after the interview table either looked at Miller or looked at the information and discussed softly. Wang Yang sitting in the room kept saying: "Yes, this guy is very suitable, otherwise I I do n’t want you to come.
He looked at Miller over there, and he was happy that there was not much nervousness in this guy.
Assistant Russle handed Miller a page of paper, which saw "a IQ genius, a quiet, calm, paranoid, low-risk depression due to childhood shadows, the most valued family ..." etc. Character description, Miller looked at these words intently, and slowly formed a vague image in his mind. The tone of speech was very soft and soft, with no expression, movement ... Is it? That's it!
After Miller thought for a while, Wang Yang gestured to Dwight Lee, the director over the camera, and smiled: "Wentworth, let's start the audition." Dwight Ritter took the word, Instructed Miller to complete the most basic audition content: "front, side, turn around ..."
"If there is a time bomb exploding in front of you right now, the remaining minutes, this is in a secret room, how would you behave?" After completing a series of shots and talking for a while, then execute Producer Marty-Anderstan proposed a new performance question, and everyone in the interview room looked at Miller on the scene.
Regardless of whether there is a passage in the script or not, he wants to catch the needs of this scene! Time bombs, minutes, secret rooms ... This situation represents a tremendous urgency. It seems to be dead but there is hope for rescue. Because it is a time bomb, the protagonist of high IQ can not sit still. He must find a way to stop the bomb or escape. I want the feeling of tension and excitement in the secret room ...
Miller, who was sitting on the chair, breathed slightly, his expression was calm, and he looked at the interviewers, including Magic Yang, in front of him, his hands were doing the bomb-dismantling movement, and his condensed eyes did not blink, he would There is normal human tension, but it is absolutely calm enough.
"Well, you stopped the bomb o seconds before it exploded, and you can't let others show it. At this time, a prison guard came." Wang Yang took control of this performance question and did not explain why there were prison guards in the secret room. Class, with a different tone, staring at the eyes and saying badly, "What are you doing here !?"
Miller's face was calm, his voice soft and authentic: "I didn't do anything, I just walked away, police officer." Wang Yang continued to say in a bad voice: "Walk around? Do you not know that this is a prison restricted area !? You are not allowed Did these prisoners come in? "Miller still expressionless, but his eyes puzzled, said:" Police officer, I don't know, nobody told me. "
"Be honest with me!" Wang Yang casually picked up the stack of materials on the interview table and used it as a baton. He did Miller's action and forced him to ask: "Say!" Miller's face flashed with pain, light He breathed lightly, but his eyes were still clear and firm, he said with a deep voice: "Really not, officer." Wang Yang laughed with satisfaction, and casually laughed: "Really not !? Kid, if you let me show you Fool me, you will die miserably. "
More than a dozen people like Paul Jones, Marty Anderstan, Dwight Ritter and others nodded silently, quite satisfied with Miller's performance, perhaps the character's temperament was too in line with him, and such a small performance was obtained. Very good chemical reaction, no waste of this special audition. The director Matt Bisley, who had auditioned Miller several times before, was a little surprised. This time Wentworth seemed to be a different person, and he was a lot more confident. At least he did n’t ask, "Is this right?"
"At this time, another bully in the prison came, and he asked you to pay the protection fee, otherwise he would find someone to beat you."
Hearing Wang Yang ’s words, Miller said nothing in silence, only to get up from the chair and took two steps, saying he would ignore the bully.
...
Miller walked back and forth in the hallway, and occasionally glanced at the wooden door closed in the interview room over there. The audition had ended for 5 minutes. Magic Yang told him not to wait for a while. He knew that his performance must have been discussed in the audition room. He has just let himself perform in a very confident manner, and it seems that the interviewers are very satisfied, he saw a lot of smiles with approval.
But is this right? Just when he was thinking, the door of the interview room was opened, the interviewers in suits and leather shoes walked out before and after laughing, and the former Dwight Ritter looked at him and laughed: "Performed very well! "Marty Anderstan also nodded and said:" Good, very suitable. "Matt Bisley thumbs up and smiled:" Winter, is this still you? Well done! "," Yang, you No wrong person was found. "...
Watching the interviewers pass by, listening to their approval, Miller's heart beats a little, an unspeakable excitement gradually emerged, is it really ... he tried to maintain a calm smile, Thank you non-stop: "Thank you, thank you."
"Man, give you this one!" Wang Yang, who finally came out, also gave a thumbs up with a smile. Miller convinced them with their confidence and excellent performance. The high degree of appearance and temperament was even more satisfying and satisfying. Although the audition results were not certain, because the video was still to be seen by some interviewers who were not present today, but he It has been decided and the people present just now agreed.
He looked at Miller, who could not hide his excitement, and said with a smile: "I think the hero is you, 99.9%. Unless Christopher Fussen returns with the fleet tomorrow, I think there should be no possibility."
Miller was dumbfounded, how could it be! It ’s not that
you ca n’t do it
, 99.9% is the protagonist of a TV series ... The heart that is about to explode suddenly has some confusion, really? This is real? At this time, one thing quickly brushed his mind, like a plate of cold water cooling half of his blood, some things can not be concealed, but as long as the explanation is clear.
"Mr. Wang, there is one thing I need to tell you." Miller's face was full of sincerity, and Wang Yang wondered: "k, what's the matter?"
Miller smiled a bit self-deprecatingly, and said: "I used to be a very radical and bad person, because I had suffered a lot of discrimination and harm since I was a child, everyone called me nky. I was a cynical person at that time, so I got into trouble when I was studying at Princeton University. At that time, a black professor netet in our school was robbed by Harvard University. I was very angry and I drew a comic to the Princeton Daily. I described Professor West as Harvard. 'Newly bought slave', and then things went wrong. "
Black professor, newly bought slave ... Wang Yang frowned suddenly, racism! ? The smile on his face disappeared suddenly, his face stretched and said: "What the is going on?" Suddenly thought of Miller's sentence of "discrimination since childhood", he vaguely figured out something, doubting: "What discrimination do you suffer? Isn't it pure white? Is it mixed with black? "
"Well, I'm a multi-ethnic race." Miller nodded, knowing that Miracle Yang hated racial discrimination, and of course he himself, immediately explained clearly: "My father has black African, Jamaican, British, and German Jewish origins; My mother has French, Dutch, Syrian, and Lebanese ancestry. Why would I go to racially discriminate against Professor West? That is just an irony of my anger. "
"I understand." To understand the reason, Wang Yang grinned again. He understood Miller's mood at that time and what was called cynical. Every child who suffered such harm will have more or less, like Wu Yanzu, like Joshua. ... he was 8 years old , often angry, furiously fighting, unwilling to coax his girlfriend, and then scolding the principal ... angry little boy!
Thinking of the past, he couldn't help but show his self-deprecation, and it was good to fight back against the bad guys, but it was bad to hurt himself and those he loved. He beat Miller's shoulder and smiled: "Winter, it's okay, as long as you can prove your bloodline. This thing will not affect the audition results, but you need to provide me with a bloodline certificate."
"No problem, no problem." Miller said twice in a row, and finally released the excitement of his heart with a smile of joy and gratitude: "Mr. Wang, thank you very much today!" Wang Yang shrugged and smiled. "No, you don't need this. With someone like you, either" Prison Break "or" Special Police. "He patted Miller's shoulder again and walked over to the office.
Miller smiled at the back of the young director, holding his fists and saying a few "yes".
※※
The next day Miller quickly provided a proof of family lineage, and it turned out that there were eight countries of mixed blood, including blacks. This cleared the worry of the crew of "Prison Break" choosing him as the leading actor; other interviewers have seen his excellent audition video, plus Wang Yang said "I will choose him", and they all agreed with Wen. Tvos Miller starred in the protagonist.
In a busy time, August o-September 5 also became history, and another screening week came to an end. This week, the total box office in North America was only 500 million. The movie that ranked high on the weekly list is still "the ninth." "Zone", which received the fifth consecutive weekly box office championship at home theater this week, constantly refreshing Wang Yang's new personal record.
Another record that has been refreshed is the highest box office in North America. District Nine took five weeks to reach the 100 million club (the third movie with a box office of more than 100 million US dollars. The other two are 100 million "Spider-Man" and 100 million " Star Wars Preque. And in overseas markets, it also maintains a good closing momentum, taking another 70,000 in a single week, the total overseas box office reached 460 million, and the global 750 million box office.
Being able to continue to accept good box office on the one hand is due to the lack of competitive new film releases, but due to the premature release of the overseas ticket warehouse at the same time, in addition to expecting to receive 10,000 in the National University of the future, it is difficult to achieve anything On the other hand, it is global viral marketing. The mysterious strategy before the release, and after the release, the propaganda department took advantage of the high praise of the media to expand the network, "Do you want to miss a summer miracle?", The flooding and bombing virus propaganda of the "Great Science Fiction Movie" creates a herding effect.
And this week I received 10,000 "My Greek Wedding", 10,000 "Tian Zhao", 470,000 "Extreme Agent" and other films do not have these tricks; even the blockbuster "Spider-Man", "" "Star Wars" is all honest publicity, disdain for the new viral marketing?
Now all the movie companies understand that this is a trend. Flame Movies is at the forefront, and now no one is competing with them for this market! What virus station, three-dimensional poster, virus poster, and guide the wind direction ... This whole set of virus propaganda makes the movie companies who suddenly wake up "shocked", simply boasting that their set is outdated, seeing these new things How can they be indifferent?
But everyone knows that the end of the crowd is to make the audience quickly accustomed to the decline of excitement in the face of these tricks; this set of viral marketing will gradually become mediocre, but whoever wants to lose money, please leave.
Of course, the traditional propaganda method will never be eliminated, and another box office miracle is also in progress. The week-long warm comedy "My Greece Wedding" gradually expands the number of theaters and the weekly box office amount, ranking second in this week Wan Wan, this movie with a total cost of 10,000 has already received 85.45 million box office in North America, which has also driven and revealed the market demand for wedding comedy movies, a strong hungry demand.
Fans and media have naturally associated with a movie, "Hangover", which is scheduled to be released this Christmas, and its content brief and advance trailer have been announced. A prenuptial carnival party led to the disappearance of the bridegroom. If you want the wedding to happen in the future, you need to find the bridegroom Doug, but the problem is that those three people can't remember what happened last night.
Looking at the trailer's sloppy and frivolous fat man, pitiful crazy crazy tooth dentist, bad handsome teacher, tyrannosaurus-like mysterious gangster girl ... and the guest O'Neill, he has not announced his identity in the trailer, only half Close-up of seconds, but the quirky shape is enough to make people laugh, such as Will Smith, Robert Downey Jr. and others, as well as a personal guest appearance at the table ...
Most of the fans of the fans immediately had great expectations, almost biting and believing what Miracle Yang said "This is a comedy that can laugh at the dead." Unless this has just sent a suppressing sad gift to global fans The director, put all the only laughs in Hangover into the trailer. While looking forward to the release of "The Hangover", they also guessed who the prototype of the character was.
Groom Doug is obviously Tom Willing, the teacher may be miraculous, the decayed dentist may be Zachary Levi, what about the fat man? The gossip media has long revealed that there were not only three people that night. There is enough evidence to show that Joshua Alba is also present and should have been drinking; but the parties did not respond to this matter.
However, not everyone chose to believe in Wang Yang, and quite a few fans of the fan commented on the official website of "The Hangover", saying that they were hurt. Ted-r said: "I will not watch" Hangover "in the first week, I have to wait for a clear signal, is it funny or sad? I don't think comedy movies are sad!", Karan- D was a lot of excitement: "I'm only fooling myself now," District 9 "is simply a movie!"
"Before the release of" When Happiness Comes to Knock ", Magic Yang said it was inspirational and moving, and it was like that;" Junuo "Magic Yang said it was warm and humorous, and it really was like that;" District 9 "? My miraculous young did not define it. He also said that staying mysterious can get the best experience. It turns out that experience is making my heart hurt till now!
He talked again, "hangover" will make everyone laugh to death, but I highly doubt that he still has a funny function after "the ninth district"? I think the trailer is all about Hangover. "-Christina's message, supported by many people.
With the increase in the number of viewers, the "Ninth District" rating in imdb dropped to 8.7, and Rotten Tomatoes audience likes fell to 89%; but it still steadily received a lot of applause and praise in the commentary industry. Mocking, the latest public critics are 9% fresh and the popular critics are 95% fresh.
The film's torture of humanity makes people shudder. Bao-Hovans, "Movie Review"; shock, excitement, sadness, and deepness, these are not all of it, and all of it is called greatness. Jonathan Roma, "Sunday"; this is just an ordinary show, Magic Young tries to tell us something, and the result is as young as his age. Perhaps this is already remarkable, but in terms of matters, "District 9" is not great. -Kay Helcott, The Boston Herald ...
But Roger Albert, the most popular film critic in the United States, scoffed at those who smashed the rotten tomatoes. This old man who gave two thumbs up to the four movies of Magic Fantastic, used his own relaxed style to give "the first Nine Districts wrote a long, long compliment.
"I can only use one word to describe this movie, evb1e (unbelievable). Let me say a few off-topics first. I know Wang Yang in" Ghost Record ". Seriously, although I said he was g, who would Believe what else can an 8-year-old guy do? I thought it would take at least o years to give him two thumbs up again, and 8-year-old is still promising.
Who knows he appeared again half a year later and used "High School Musical" to make me want to go back to school and dance with beautiful women. He created an incredible phenomenon; then he wanted to shoot a biography of young people? At that time, I thought this guy was still praised and lost. Who did he think he was? He used "When Happiness Knocks on the Door" and "Junuo" to make me shut up completely, it is really two classics. The ninth district, a masterpiece that shamed Hollywood's summer vacation blockbuster, made me almost die of a heart attack. "
After agreeing with the "shame" statement, Roger Albert also officially commented on the content of the film: "This movie does not have a bikini beauty, but it will never let you fall asleep because its lens is for an academic film. It ’s too shaky for the movie, it ’s like sitting on a crazy taxi, but it ’s not a meaningless, pretentious shaking, it makes you feel a strong substitution of the immersive, the nerves are slowly tightening, this kind of The lens language is full of alternative charm. "
"Subversive science fiction stories, what fables are profound ... It's all right to mention these. If when you watch a cute puppy die, you cry, it's normal; when you watch a poor ghost for a Miss Fu Jia volunteered to sink to the bottom of the sea, and the rest of her life was very happy for the rest of her life. You were crying because you were moved instead of angry. There is a problem; when you look at an ugly man who wants to beat him. You are crying after a bunch of trash playing with toys. Should you think about something big? "
"What are you crying about? I'm crying that the tenth district was actually built in the desert instead of the beach." Roger Albert made a joke before seriously commenting: "They were abandoned in a pile of garbage. Vigs, who has completed his thought transformation and human awakening, was abandoned in a pile of trash, and he was scolded and struggling in despair. The beautiful human nature is regarded as a worthless trash by human beings, while the ugly side After the government packaging propaganda was praised, the people did not notice. This is why I cry. "
"Everyone is a human being, and they are all shrimp and worm people. How we treat aliens is how we treat ourselves. I even think this is an environmentally friendly movie, because Vickers made a beautiful bamboo dragonfly with a garbage cycle. Maybe I think too much, but the whole movie is just to make you memorable and endless, of course, you need a pacemaker ~ EbookFREE.me ~ If there is an Oscar for the first half of the year, "District 9" Will sweep all awards; unfortunately the reality is that there will be a second half of the year, maybe there will be many good works, but if Oscar ’s best film and best director nomination list next year does not have "District 9" and Magic Yang, I will still only Use one word to describe it, evb1e. "
At the end of the chapter, he came to his patented thumb scoring system. This time, Roger Albert made a striking "tree-tumbs-up (three thumbs up)!" Not to mention how a person has three Of course, there are four thumbs if you count them. The problem is that such things have never happened. The old man also seemed to realize that fan fans might think of him as Alzheimer's, so he explained: "Nothing wrong! Two thumbs up for" Ninth District "and Grade Magic Yang, and the other thumbs up to Wei Gus! "
Many media fans are very sighed about this. Roger Albert is indeed a "hardcore fan" of Miracle Yang. He actually created three thumbs for him. Is the DVD cover of the "Ninth District" true in the future? Playing three? What about the movie after Miracle Young? Four thumbs? Five?
At this time, Wang Yang suddenly officially announced his future plans in addition to "Hangover" in personal officials, blogs, etc., including the mysterious work that re-cooperated with Natalie Portman. .
