The road to becoming a movie star from the villain

Chapter 289 The clown's first audition, a unique view

Hong Chen successfully entered the headquarters of Warner Brothers.

The security facilities at the headquarters were well set up. After the security guard knew that Hong Chen was indeed an auditioned actor, he knew he was wrong and didn't dare to say anything more.

After all, the actors who can audition are all big shots, he dare not offend, and he will suffer if he suffers.

He just couldn't think of it, how could an Asian man audition for the role of a clown?

This is too exaggerated!

In his fixed thinking, this Asian must have come to cause trouble.

That's why there was the conflict in the scene just now.

"Are you okay?" His colleague asked from the side.

The security guard rubbed his sore chest and wrists, his face was low, and he said, "It's okay, you asked clearly, did that person just come to audition for the clown?"

His colleague nodded, and said: "That person is Hong Chen, a Huaxia actor. I have heard a few big directors talk about him. His Chinese Kungfu is very good. You are also unlucky, dare to provoke him."

After hearing what his colleague said, a trace of bitterness appeared on the security guard's face.I really feel uncomfortable.

Hong Chen entered the building of Warner Pictures and went straight upstairs.

There are many posters decorated in glass frames in the corridor, showing Warner's various big IPs and well-known actors.Among them, Harry Potter has the most, and the Matrix also has many.

Led by the secretary, Hong Chen went to the audition on the top floor.

At this moment, the producer is auditioning. In order to choose the suitable role to play the clown, they have invited a large number of well-known actors, and they have passed a very strict screening.

Those in charge of the auditions are all well-known big shots.

First of all, the chief director Christopher Nolan, how powerful he is, except for the Batman series, such as "Memento" and "Inception" are all written by this great director.

Then there is the screenwriter David Goyer, he was the screenwriter of the first "Batman Begins", he is a very good helper.

Also helping out is one of the authors of Batman comics: Frank Miller, whose "Batman: Year One" recreated Batman's origin story and became an epoch-making landmark work.

There is also Ed, the senior executive of DC Corporation in the United States, who is one of the persons in charge of this big IP.

In addition, there is a team that evaluates the expressiveness of actors.

This battle is not without grandeur.

This is just a first try.

The audition has been going on for a long time, director Nuo Bar shook his head in disappointment.

"No, these are not the clowns in my mind."

Screenwriter David smiled wryly at the side, and said, "Nolan, may the requirements be higher, just now some of them are already top Hollywood actors."

Nuo Lan's eyes were deep, and he said indifferently: "None of them can give me that feeling. The clown is a character who plays with everyone. He is a combination of a genius and a lunatic, and he is an existence that looks down on everything."

"But none of them can play that effect. At most, I only see madness, but I don't see the genius and domineering side."

Hearing this, the others stopped talking.

The role of the clown is very important, but it is also difficult to choose the right actor.

Let's just say, finding the right actor for the Joker is a lot harder than finding the right actor for Batman.

Batman—Master is upright and a top rich man. In fact, in terms of status and temperament, many actors in the entertainment industry can achieve it.

But the clown can't, the clown needs the acting skills of an entry-level three-pointer.

While the audition judges were discussing the results of the audition, Hong Chen came to the resting place.

As soon as he walked in, he saw Depp coming out of the audition.

With a change in his eyes, Depp is also a well-known international superstar. The "Pirates of the Caribbean" series alone made him the only captain in the hearts of fans around the world.

Depp is the top male star in the world, and he even came to audition, and judging by Depp's expression, he seemed to have failed the audition?

But it's normal, Depp's style is weird, but not the crazy kind of clown, just like "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" and "Edward Scissorhands", he is very suitable for that peculiar style of painting.

So the failure of the audition is also understandable.

But what Hong Chen saw was that Depp was actually invited to audition for this show. It seems that the director team is really big.

Because the audition time span is relatively long, there are not many people auditioning at this time.Hong Chen just waited for a while, and within a few minutes, he was called in by a female assistant to audition.

"Who is the next audition actor?" Nobar said indifferently without any expression on his face.

The assistant at the side glanced at the data uploaded just now, and said, "Actor No. 24, Hong Chen, from Huaxia, the actor who played Han in the "Fast and Furious" series."

"Chinese?" Hearing this, director Nuo Lan frowned.

The other judges who auditioned were also a little stunned.

They also did not expect that there would be Chinese people auditioning.

"It's like this, director. At a banquet, Hong Chen came to me and wanted to get an audition spot. He performed a part in front of me, and the effect was very good." Screenwriter David Goyer hurriedly explained.

Nobar glanced at him indifferently, and said, "David, you have to know how important the clown's audition is, and don't hide your selfishness."

Nobar's meaning was very simple. He thought that David gave Hong Chen the audition spot because he took advantage of Hong Chen.

In fact, this situation is very common. Many of the actors who auditioned before were forced by other directors, and some international movie stars recommended them, such as Gal Gadot’s younger brother.

But Noah didn't expect that David would recommend a Chinese actor.

David smiled wryly, and said, "Director, I really don't have any selfish intentions. You can see for yourself in a while, his performance is really very good."

As they were talking, Hong Chen walked in slowly.

Seeing him for the first time, director Nuo Lan was slightly disappointed.

The reason is simple, Hong Chen has a good figure and temperament, and he also has a very sunny smile on his face.However, if this kind of person plays "Titanic", people may like it, but he will definitely not be able to play a clown.

Hong Chen walked to the middle, said hello to the audition judges who were sitting on the judges' seats, and then sat down on the chair in the middle under the gesture of an assistant.

In front of him is a sophisticated camera, the audition process in Hollywood has always been like this, and the information will always be saved for later people to learn from.

"Is your name Hong Chen? Tell me, why do you want to play the clown?" Nuo Lan leaned back on the seat, his face still expressionless.

"Because the Joker, like Batman, is a very charismatic person." Hong Chen said naturally, his voice was steady, and the judges could clearly hear every word he said.

"The clown has a unique and self-consistent worldview, has clear and firm beliefs, and has a strong execution ability to implement his beliefs."

"He is different and unique from other villains. He does not worship force, but pursues spiritual symbols. He has his own set of rules of conduct, does not follow any morality, and is the purest evil."

Hong Chen talked about everything, and director Nuo Lan listened with gusto.

Based on these few conversations, Nobar knew that at least Hong Chen had done his homework and had a deep understanding of clowns.

But it's just understanding.

This kind of dialogue is just a preliminary understanding of the actors.

"Then how do you think the Joker compares to Batman?" Suddenly, Nobara asked a strange question, "Some people say that the Joker lost because he didn't want to play anymore. What do you think?"

Nuo Lan looked at Hong Chen with interest, and asked again. .

In fact, he asked many actors who auditioned this question, and most of them concluded that the Joker is far more spiritual than Batman.

Or "it's not that Batman won, it's that the Joker doesn't want to play anymore".

Hong Chen's answer to this was simple.

"Such words are a complete insult to the clown."

"The Joker's ultimate goal is to defeat Batman. He thought he could make Gotham City lose its light, but he failed. To a certain extent, Batman is much greater than the Joker."

"This kind of words are nothing more than the words of some passers-by who lack rationality and understanding, or follow suit."

"Both people have unique charms, but the clown will never say 'I don't want to play anymore', whether he fails or succeeds, he will only say:."

"Do you want to continue?"
