The road to becoming a movie star from the villain

Chapter 230 Audition, Enter the Dragon

Hollywood directors have very high requirements for audition actors.

This not only includes acting skills, but also requires the quality, image, and style of actors.

This is especially true for big-budget movies.

That's why Hollywood has created so many well-known international movie stars.

Here we can make a simple comparison. There may be less than 10 well-known movie stars in China.With just one Marvel movie in Hollywood, there are more than 10 movie stars playing superheroes who are well known all over the world.

Counting DC, "Mission: Impossible" and other big IPs, there are countless.

In fact, Huaxia has many outstanding actors.

However, what is hotly discussed on the Internet and often appears in people's sights are all kinds of gossip about "little fresh meat" and traffic stars.

Moreover, when foreign stars go out, there are no bodyguards forming a circle, and no fans shouting and hugging.

Some domestic traffic stars and even some Internet celebrities, when they appear in shopping malls or airports, more than a dozen bodyguards form a circle for protection, and the studio even hires some people to act as fans.

In their eyes, the bigger the scene, the more popular the actor will be.

And some very low-key actors such as Zhang Yi, Huang Bo, Xu Zheng, etc., except that they may have some popularity on the Internet when they have new works, generally they rarely appear in the public eye.

However, the proportion of such actors is too small, and there is still a certain gap between them and Hollywood.

Of course, China's film and television industry is thriving, and after time, it will eventually get better and better.

Hong Chen was wearing a decent suit at this moment, coupled with his fit figure, he looked energetic.

The audition took place at Universal Pictures, whose production studios and offices are located in Los Angeles, in the same city as Hollywood.

Other divisions and executive offices of Universal Pictures are located in New York.

Hong Chen came to the downstairs of Universal Pictures, looked up, and found that the building of Universal Pictures was not much different from some domestic film and television companies, but it was still very grand.

As soon as he reached the door, he was stopped by two security guards in suits.

"What do you do?" the security guard asked.

Hong Chen has the ability to be proficient in foreign languages, so he spoke fluent English to these people and said: "My name is Hong Chen, and I am here to audition for director Walter, please let me know."

Hearing Hong Chen's words, the security personnel looked at him in surprise.

Hong Chen has a good temperament and is very energetic, especially Hong Chen's English is very standard, and it seems that his status is not low.

The security personnel quickly reported to the higher-ups, and not long after, a tall, beautiful white woman came out to greet him.

"Hello, Mr. Hong, I am the assistant for this audition, and my name is Nicole."

Then, Hong Chen walked to the Universal Studios under the leadership of Nicole.

The first floor of the company displays the history of Universal Pictures, with posters of various TV series, movies, well-known actors and directors hanging on it, and various awards next to it.

These domineering histories demonstrate the glory of Universal Pictures.

The two walked upstairs, at this moment, Hong Chen suddenly saw a familiar face.

This face is also a very famous female star in China, named Tian Tian.

Tian Tian has filmed a lot of film and television works. As her name suggests, she looks very sweet, and has a lot of resources behind her. For some reason, she can't become popular in China.

Both of them are Chinese, and now they meet at Universal Pictures in Los Angeles, USA, it must be said that it is a kind of fate.

"Hello, Hong Chen." Tian Tian waved at him and said with a smile.

"Hello, Tian Tian, ​​what a coincidence." Both of them are stars in the Huaxia entertainment circle, so they knew each other naturally.

"Yeah, you're here to audition too?" Tian Tian asked a little surprised.

"Well, a secret agent movie, let me try it. Are you too?"

"I have been auditioning for three weeks, and I have to audition every week. The work I auditioned is "The Great Wall". Zhang Yimou is the chief director, but Universal Pictures is the co-producer and is responsible for selecting actors." Tian Tian saw Hong After the dust, I felt very kind, and couldn't help but say more.

After hearing her words, Hong Chen nodded slightly.In many cases in Hollywood, auditions are divided into several times, and sometimes there are only two audition actors left, and they have to be screened many times to be sure.

For example, Holland's "Spider-Man" and Hammer's "Thor" were decided after several auditions.

Of course, there are also actors like "Iron Man" who have a role fixed in one audition, but there are very few.

"Mr. Hong, Director Walter is still waiting for you." They were chatting, and Assistant Nicole reminded him softly.

"Okay." Hong Chen still had an audition, so Wada Tian couldn't chat for too long.

The two are in a foreign land, and they chatted very cordially, Tian Tian smiled and said: "Then add a WeChat, and we will talk later."

"Okay."

The two added WeChat, and Hong Chen followed Nicole's assistant all the way to the audition.

"Director Walter, Chinese actor Hong Chen has arrived." Nicole knocked on the door and went in to report.

Walter glanced at Hong Chen and walked straight towards him, "Hello, Mr. Hong Chen."

Walter has watched Hong Chen's performance on the video, and he has to say that he admires Hong Chen's fighting scenes very much, it is very real and very textured.

He heard that Hong Chen is China's movie star and has a high reputation in China, so he is also looking at Hong Chen carefully.

He found that Hong Chen was much better than he imagined.

After all, only part of the actor can be seen clearly in the movie clips, and the real person is the key.Now that Walter saw Hong Chen in real life, he found that Hong Chen's temperament and image were surprisingly good.

Seeing that Walter was so polite, Hong Chen extended his hand and said politely, "Hello, Director Walter."

Then, Nicole introduced the people in the audition hall to Hong Chen one by one.

Director Walter, Assistant Director Jiaxi, Producer Cameron, Investor Robert, and others are all looking at Hong Chen carefully.

They are all audition directors with a unique vision and a good way of observing actors.

They found that, for now, Hong Chen's performance satisfied them.

However, they were equally satisfied with Li Bingxian and Sanada Hiroyuki.

So, for the next audition, they still need to carefully select.

"Mr. Hong Chen, the audition will start soon, please go to the lounge and wait for the announcement." Nicole stretched out her hand and said very politely.

Hong Chen nodded, and followed Nicole to the lounge outside.

He found that Li Bingxian and Sanada Hiroyuki had arrived.As soon as he entered the lounge, the two looked up at the person coming at the same time.

All three are outstanding actors in their respective countries.

Sanada Hiroyuki is older and has entered middle age, Li Bingxian is a little younger, and Hong Chen is a real young man.

The relationship between China, Japan and South Korea's entertainment industry has always been weird, and there are usually two situations.

The first type is that the two parties fight each other, dislike each other, and the other party watches the excitement and sits on the mountain to watch the tigers fight.For example, there is a conflict between Japan and South Korea. The Hanguo Supermarket Federation launched a boycott of Japanese goods, and Japan also took corresponding measures. The people in China just look at the news pictures for fun.

The other is that once in a while Japan and South Korea make a mess, the other two suddenly become friendly and attack in groups.It is rumored that "the friendship between China and Japan depends on the cold country" which means this.As long as it involves running against the cold country, China and Japan are super in tune.

There is no way, Han Country owes too much in some respects.

But none of the three said anything, they just sat in the waiting room, quietly waiting for the audition for a while.

All three of them are big names. In terms of international status alone, Li Bingxian and Sanada are undoubtedly better than Hong Chen.

The layout of the lounge is very high-end, the sofa is very soft, the assistant served some drinks and pastries for each of the three of them, and the service was quite considerate.

Hong Chen was amazed in his heart, no wonder Universal Pictures can become the leader, the service and surrounding facilities are much better than other companies.

A little later, the other two audition actors also arrived.

A rookie actor in the cold country, Liu Chenglu.

Thai tough guy niche, Bassoon.

All are really capable actors.

The next audition is bound to be a battle between dragons and tigers.
