Chapter 35: Audition

Night fell in Los Angeles, in the elegantly furnished room, the white labrador Danny was lying on the carpet licking his feet, and Jessica sat beside the bed, looking at the Los Angeles Times entertainment with her eyebrows in hand. The edition, only to see the position of her eyes, is exactly the part of Wang Yang's personal life.
"At the beginning, she was my angel. I thank God. I said to God," God, you are so good! Thank you for arranging me to meet her. "Every time I meet her, I will feel that this is the most wonderful in the world. Thing. But then, we suddenly seem to hate each other, noisy every time we meet, no matter where to go and what to eat. I like cinemas, and she likes amusement parks ... "
Looking at the text, Jessica sullenly murmured, "Thank God, arranged for the girl not to like the movie theater or McDonald's, did she?" She smiled and shook her head: " Hey, what the are you talking about? "She read the newspaper for a while, and suddenly asked," Danny, do you say that girl looks pretty? "The Labrador dog turned its ears and looked at her suspiciously. .
"Well, Danny, you don't know what you look like?" Jessica continued to look at the newspaper, and suddenly said to herself: "What type of girl will she be?" Take a look at yourself, helplessly said: "Oh, are you crazy?"
At this time, the mobile phone on the desk suddenly rang, Jessica put down the newspaper with a sigh of relief, put on the slippers and went to the desk to pick up the mobile phone and looked at it. It was her manager, Ms. Miranda, who took the passage : "Hi, Miranda?" Immediately, I heard Miranda said: "Jessica, I received the news from the company. You passed the first round of the selection of the heroine of" High School Musical "and can participate in the second round of interviews. Now. "
"Wow, really? Ha!" Jessica smiled happily, although this was expected, but her heart beat faster. She held the phone and walked to the white dressing table and sat down, looking at herself in the mirror with a tone of excitement: "I have been looking forward to it for a long time! Miranda, when is the interview time?" She recently practiced acting and watched campus every day Movies, practice a song, these are for the audition of "High School Musical", she has been eager to wait.
Miranda didn't answer her question, but smiled and said: "Jessica, I have good news to tell you."
"What? Wasn't the good news just now?" Jessica smiled and said, "What else?"
"A better news." Miranda's tone was very pleasant, she said: "Do you remember the audition of" The Hand of Leisure "more than a week ago?" Jessica said, "Uh", it was her most recent In a movie audition, Miranda had a good relationship with the film's director Rodman-Fred and recommended her to attend the audition for the heroine. Miranda laughed: "As far as I know, Mr. Fred will make a decision soon, and you have a great chance of playing the heroine."
Looking at her expression in the mirror, Jessica reacted and smiled and asked, "Really? Wow, Miranda, it seems that my luck is coming." She was naturally happy, but not much. Care, because Miranda has said "the opportunity is great" many times, and the results are lost every time.
Hearing Miranda laughed: "Yes, you are in luck." Jessica thought of the previous question and asked again: "Oh, when is the interview time for" High School Dance "? Where is it? get on?"
"Jessica." Miranda's voice became soft, saying: "If you become the heroine of" The Hand of Leisure ", don't pay attention to" High School Musical. "" She explained authentically: "Xian "Kuang Shou" will start shooting immediately, and "High School Musical" obviously also, their production schedules overlap. "
Jessica rolled her eyes in the mirror, and while rating her expression, she casually said: "Miranda, I don't want to talk about this. I don't have a heroine in any movie now. There is no problem with the schedule.
"You need to think about it carefully. On the" Hands of Leisure ", I asked Mr. Fred. He praised you very much. Your chances are really great this time." Miranda's tone was very strong. serious.
"Oh, I know, I'll think about it." Jessica responded seriously with a pretense and asked again: "Miranda, so please tell me, when and where is the interview?"
Miranda had no choice but to answer her: "Starting at ten o'clock the day after tomorrow, at the headquarters of the flame film company."
After getting the answer, I was afraid that Miranda would continue to say "choice," and Jessica quickly said, "Oh, I know where, and I will go there that day. I have to hang up. I have to hurry up to practice acting! Good night, Miranda. "After she finished speaking, she pressed the phone's end call button and shook her head. She had a problem with the schedule? Think about it when this problem really appears.
"Come, start." Jessica looked at the mirror, exposed her teeth, played a happy expression, and said: "Hi, my name is Jessica, I'm glad to meet you ..."
※※
Dong dong dong dong! The stairs were slammed loudly, and Jessica walked down beautifully. Today is the audition day for the heroine of "High School Musical." She started early in the morning, and after the wash, she began to dress up carefully. After the dress up, she put on the clothes she had worn before and walked to the next floor.
"Good morning, mother!" Jessica came to the dining room and smiled and said hello to the mother who was making breakfast in the kitchen. She opened the floor glass window of the dining room, looked at the green lawn outside, and stretched out her hands. A lazy waist, enjoying the morning sun, squinting and said: "The weather is so good!"
Cathy over the kitchen laughed: "Yeah, the weather is fine." She carried a few sandwiches to the dinner table and asked: "Jessica, Miranda and I said that you are going to participate in" Sing and Dance "today The audition of "Youth"? "
"Yes, at the headquarters of the Flame Film Company." Jessica said as she walked to the kitchen to wash her hands, came to the dinner table and picked up a sandwich. She took a bite and said to Cathy: "I drove by myself, noon at noon Come back to dinner. "Cathy nodded and patted her daughter's shoulder with a smile, said:" Come on, Jessica. "Jessica gave her mother a good smile, confidently said:" Thank you, mother, I will. "Then she took another bite of sandwiches and praised vaguely:" Wow, mom, sandwiches are delicious! "Cathy smiled:" Thank you, little slider. "
At this time, Joshua in jersey shorts walked in gasping in. He just ran back in the morning. He went to get the sandwich without washing his hands. While looking at the neatly dressed Jessica, he smiled: " Wow, it seems that someone is going to date? "
"Oh, you are right, I have a very handsome and charming handsome guy, so I look forward to it." Jessica said excitedly, and ignored Joshua. After eating a sandwich, she went to wash her hands again, and said Cathy said "Mom, I'm leaving." Then she walked to the garage outside.
Joshua shouted towards her back, "Hey, should I tell Yang?"
"Random!" Jessica's voice came from afar.
Flame Film Company is located near Hollywood, and it is easy to reach by car. When Jessica arrived, it was just over 9:30. At this time, she stood at the door of the Flame Company, looking at the sign "Flames-Films" hanging on it, and the strange sign, filled with inexplicable joy. This is Yang's company! What does this sign mean? She thought for a moment, there was no clue, the moths and butterflies pounced on the flames. Was it self-defeating? How could it not be the case ...
Jessica shook her head and stopped thinking. She walked inside and came to the front desk, smiled at the front desk lady and said, "Hello, I am here to attend the audition for" High School Musical. "
The front desk lady Olorali stood up and smiled: "Oh, the audition time starts at ten o'clock, please come with me, I will take you to the audition room and wait."
Jessica followed behind, walked into the interior of Flame Film Company, and bypassed the busy office. She came to the outside of the reception room as the audition place. There were already a few beautifully dressed girls sitting on the chairs waiting .
"Please wait here, the audition starts at ten o'clock." The front desk lady Aurolali said another sentence before returning to the front desk.
"Hi." Jessica greeted the girls politely, found an empty chair to sit down, took a deep breath secretly, a little nervous in her heart, as if it was her first audition this time. She looked at the girls around them, some of them were applying makeup in the small mirror, and some were chatting with the agent who came with them. Each of them was very beautiful. This is like a large gathering of cheerleaders from Los Angeles High School. In appearance, She doesn't seem to have the slightest advantage.
Looked around, Jessica turned her gaze back, clenched her fists and encouraged herself: "Come on, be confident, I will get the heroine!"
As the time for the audition got closer and closer, the girls arrived one after another, there were more than twenty people. At this time, Wang Yang walked over with Sandy Parks, Secretary Foona Husson, and the specially invited music teacher Ms. Robert. Wang Yang glanced at the beautiful girls and found Jessica. Jessica smiled at him, he was naturally not good to say hello to her alone, he had to look at her, but smiled at the beautiful girls: "Hey, girls, come on!"
"I will!" "Let's get started!" The beautiful girls responded with a smile, making the scene a little coaxing, some girls also whistled, and a beautiful woman got up and shouted: "Yang, I love to die Your "Ghost Record" is awesome! "Wang Yang, who is about to enter the response room, stopped and smiled back," Thank you, but it won't give you extra points. "Everyone laughed haha. When she got up, the beautiful woman sat down with a smile.
"Thank you ..." Jessica looked at the closed door and said softly. Wang Yang's encouragement relieved her nervousness a lot.
In the reception room, for today's audition, the company specially moved a long table. Wang Yang and other judges sat at the back. There was an iron stand next to the long table and a broadcast camera. This camera was rented back by the company. , Ready to use when waiting for the audition.
"Ms. Robert, I'll trouble you today." Behind the long table, Wang Yang shook hands with Ms. Robert again. This middle-aged, forty-year-old white woman is a music teacher in a Los Angeles studio. Her task today is Review the girls' voice and musical talent. However, they want to make movies, not dig out any future music superstars, so the so-called "music talent" is actually very low, as long as it is not an absolute five-tone insufficiency.
Ms. Robert is a very talkative person, she said jokingly: "Nothing, this is my honor, Mr. Wang, I will dig a 'Madonna' for you." Wang Yang said with a smile while sorting the documents on the table : "Oh, I don't need Madonna, I want Hepburn."
After a while, the time came to ten, and Sandy-Pix reminded Wang Yang. Wang Yang nodded and picked up the audition list in his hand. There were thirty names in it, and the actors of "Gabriella" would be born among these girls. He glanced at the girls' names. He wouldn't call Jessica to come in for an audit at the beginning, which would put pressure on her.
"Let Jennifer Love Hewitt come in." Wang Yang said to Secretary Foona Hasen. Foona walked out as soon as he answered. He was a bit startled. He took Jessica's biggest opponent. Arranged as the first audition, is this his subconscious bias?
Soon, a girl opened the door and walked in. It was Jennifer. Her long black hair shawl, under a rather tight dress, her figure and plump upper body burst out. She gave a very sweet smile to Wang Yang and other interviewers and introduced herself authentically: "Hello everyone, I am Jennifer Love Hewitt, I am very happy to participate in this audition."
Wang Yang made a visual inspection of her lens. The girl was very good except for her nose, which was a little too long and too tall. He began to ask: "Hello, Miss Hewitt, your information says, you learn singing and dancing from an early age. Yes, is it? "
Jennifer nodded confidently and replied: "Yes, I joined the performing group when I was five years old and started to learn to sing and dance ..."
At the same time, the girls in the hallway outside the reception hall were waiting patiently. When Jessica was thinking about "what performance question will come up when Yang will come up", she suddenly patted her shoulder from the back. She looked back conditionedly and saw a girl behind smiling at her Tao: "Hi, hello, we've seen it before, remember the previous audition for" The Hand of Leisure ", remember?"
Jessica looked at her seriously and thought of it suddenly, startled: "Oh, I remember, yes!" They had a few eye contact on the day of the audition for "The Hand of Leisure", but at that time The seat was far away, so there was no speech. The girl behind extended her hand to her with a smile and said, "Hello, my name is Eliza Dushku."
"Jessica-Alba." Jessica shook hands with her and said politely: "It's nice to meet you." Eliza also smiled: "Me too."
The two chatted for a while. At this time, there was a faint song in the reception room. When the corridor stood quietly, no one was surprised, because everyone knew that they needed to sing. Listening to the melodious songs inside, Jessica felt a little nervous, she couldn't sing such a professional song ...
"What's the matter?" Eliza saw her nervousness and asked, "Jessica, are you afraid to sing?" Jessica shook her head. "It's not afraid, but ... a little normal tension." Eliza patted She patted her shoulder and smiled comfortably: "It's nothing, girl, relax! It's weird. On the day of the audition for" The Hand of Leisure ", you are cool. There is no tension sitting there."
"The Hand of Leisure" Jessica shook her head with a smile, which was fundamentally different. That day she was just called by Miranda to try her luck; and today's audition, she prepared for many days, eager to get this role like never before. She suddenly remembered the "shift" issue Miranda said, looking at Eliza-Dushku who also participated in the audition of "The Hand of Leisure", she couldn't help but ask: "Elisa, if you are "Kuang Hand" and "High School Musical" are selected, which one would you choose? "
"All selected? Wow, I didn't think about it that way." Eliza sighed with a smile. Jessica was a little embarrassed at once, and she asked a stupid question that made her seem to think so. But Eliza did not mean to satire Jessica. She thought about it and said seriously: "If this really happens, I think I will choose ..." High School Musical! "
Regarding Eliza ’s answer, Jessica was a little surprised. "The Hand of Leisure" is a 30 million investment movie. Director Rodman-Fred also proved his strength many times; "The investment is only five million yuan, which is also Yang's first film film. Why did Eliza choose" High School Musical "? She asked curiously: "Why?"
Eliza shrugged and said: "I don't know, although" High School Musical "is not popular with everyone, but we all came to audition, maybe this is the reason." She raised her eyebrows and smiled, and said: "The Ghost Story's box office in North America has 160 million. I just think that this guy is a smart man, and his second movie should be good; and you know," The Hand of Leisure "is a horror comedy. Actually, I do n’t understand this type. Do they want the audience to scream or laugh? I ’m still young. A fight will not let me lose all opportunities, but maybe I will succeed.

"You are right ..." Jessica nodded and stopped thinking about the problem.
At this time, I saw Jennifer walked out of the interview room with a smile, looking at her expression, the audition process should be done well. Then Secretary Fuona-Hasson asked the next girl to go in for an audition, one girl after another went in, and then came out again, some of them were disappointed and some were happily again. Jessica noticed that the songs of the disappointed girls were hard to hear, and the girls who left with a smile laughed well.
Then, it was Eliza Dushku's turn to go in for an audition. After a while, she walked out happily and smiled with Jessica in a low voice: "Wow, Wang Yang's smile is so charming! I really want to date him." Jessica held her hair and smiled, "Oh is it ..." Eliza nodded with a smile, and said: "I feel good about this audition, Jessica, you have to come on."
"I will!" Jessica looked at the interview room and took a breath of nervousness.
Eliza ’s feelings are not wrong. Wang Yang is really satisfied with her. Her beautiful face and body get a shape A score; the performance is also good, get B +; her dance A +, in fact, she will also star in "Beautiful" in the future. "Girl Cheerleading"; singing B, this is the score given by Ms. Robert. Of course, she also has shortcomings, that is, although she smiles charmingly, she tends to be and not sweet enough, so her temperament is only B.
Wang Yang looked at the list in his hand, and only less than half of the interviewers were left. Not sooner or later, the mentality of the general interviewers is now the best adjusted. He turned to look at Secretary Foona Hasson and said, "Fona, let Miss Jessica Alba come in for an audition."
"Okay." Foona Hasen went out and shouted to the girls: "Miss Jessica-Alba." Jessica, who was sitting in the chair, stood up suddenly and said, "Are you here? ? "Fona-Hassen nodded." Yes, it's your audition. "
Jessica sorted out her clothes, stroked her tan hair again, and went to the interview room. Entering the interview room, Fuona closed the door, and Jessica walked to the long table of Wang Yang and the other three judges, looked at Wang Yang, and showed them a sweet smile, saying: "Hi, everyone, I It ’s Jessica Alba. "
"Hi, Jessica." Wang Yang, who was sitting behind the long table, smiled at her and saw that Jessica was a little nervous, so she didn't rush to start the audition and chatted with a smile: "Jessica, sit down. How does it feel, is our company's environment okay? "
Jessica sat down on her leather chair and nodded, "The environment is good and the traffic is very convenient."
Wang Yang thought about how to make her relax and looked around, suddenly had an idea. He pointed to the company sign hanging on the wall and smiled: "Did you see that sign?" Jessica looked over there and said "Yep". Wang Yang covered his mouth and said quietly: " That's my handwriting, UU reading www.uukanshu.com. When I handed the manuscript to our company's designer Miss Lisa-Gro, she said, 'Is this two penguins and a crown?' "Said, he said A frustrated look defeated.
Jessica was suddenly amused by him, relaxed a lot in his heart, and said with a smile: "Wow, that kind of sign is pretty cute."
Sandy-Pax and Ms. Robert looked at each other, and they all saw a different taste. There was no lack of tension among the girls who interviewed before, but this young director did not help them relax.
Seeing Jessica became a lot more natural, Wang Yang began to enter the topic, and stood up and said: "Okay, Jessica, let's start auditioning ..." Jessica also got up from the chair and nodded: " Ok."
Wang Yang walked to the broadcast-level camera by the long table and held the lens to Jessica, who was a few steps away. I saw Jessica wearing a set of youthful clothes inside the camera screen. Standing there, the lens feels first-class. He looked at the screen and smiled: "Jessica, give me a left side." As he said, Jessica turned sideways to the camera. He continued: "OK, turn to the right side; okay, look at a 45-degree angle; very good, turn around ... okay, smile frontally at the camera."
Jessica looked at the camera and smiled sweetly, saying: "Hi!"
"Wow! Very good." Wang Yang could not help but sigh, Jessica's smile was too sweet and charming, her appearance, her temperament are a living "Gabriella", beyond doubt the original The role of Vanessa Hudgens, she is an absolute A + in appearance and temperament, and she is also the best among the interviewers.
Hearing his praise, Jessica's face became more confident, and the tension in her heart disappeared.
