Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 1590 Comedian
"Maybe, I've played some small roles in some movies before, but it's just some innocuous roles."

Eddie Murphy was a little surprised that Martin Lawrence had an impression of himself.

Because an actor like him who only plays small roles in movies can be said to have never been recognized.

"Really? But the person who can impress me must be very good in the movie. You have to have confidence in yourself. I believe you can do it."

It seems that Martin Lawrence is a very optimistic person, and what he said makes people sound comfortable.

"Thank you, friend, but among the people who came to interview today, only one can succeed in the end, do you still think I can do it now?"

Eddie Murphy looked at Martin Lawrence and asked him with a smile.

When asked by the other party, Martin Lawrence shrugged his shoulders, looking very indifferent.

"Of course, I didn't have much hope for this interview. It was just luck that I was selected, so I just took it as a chance to see the world."

Martin Lawrence is very open-minded, he doesn't think this level of casting can choose him.

You must know that he has never participated in any famous movie or TV series at all, and he doesn't know what the other party likes him if he can be selected this time.

"I didn't expect you to have such a good mentality, but I think that since I was invited here for an interview, everyone's chances are the same. There is no one who has a higher chance and who has a lower chance."

"Well, if I can choose, then I will treat you to dinner later."

Although Martin Lawrence said so, in fact, he didn't think that today's casting would have anything to do with him.

He thought he was just here for a cutscene, and after the audition was over, he asked himself to go back and wait for the notification, but of course he would not get anything in the end.

"Since that's the case, if I'm selected later, I'll treat you to dinner instead. That's the deal."

Eddie Murphy actually didn't think that his chances were great. His thoughts were somewhat similar to Martin Lawrence's, and he felt that he was just going through the motions.

While they were still chatting, someone suddenly shouted.

"Where is number 20, please follow me."

Glancing at his number plate, Eddie Murphy immediately stood up.

"Good luck."

It was Martin Lawrence who cheered on Eddie Murphy.

Eddie Murphy looked at Martin Lawrence and nodded with a smile. He thought this guy was very interesting, and if possible, he wanted to have a good chat with him after the interview.

He felt that maybe the two of them could become very good friends. After all, we are all colleagues, and there must be many common topics.

When Eddie Murphy followed the staff into the audition room, he walked in and found a group of staff sitting inside waiting for him.

"Please give a brief self-introduction."

"Okay, my name is Eddie Murphy, and I'm a comedian. I'm very happy to accept this invitation. I hope I can have a good performance today."

When Eddie Murphy came in, the eyes of one of the people sitting opposite suddenly lit up, as if he knew Eddie Murphy.

Eddie Murphy at this time is actually not very famous. Compared with him in the previous life, he was actually not famous before he participated in the "Beverly Hills Cop" that made him famous.

"I am very grateful to Mr. Murphy for accepting this invitation. This movie is actually an action comedy, and what we need is a comedian."

At this time, he was talking about a director of the production department of Universal Pictures, and it seemed that he was the leader in today's audition.

At this time, Eddie Murphy's attention was drawn away by the executive who was talking, and he didn't pay attention to the situation next to him at all.

"Now please do an impromptu performance based on this line, play it as you like."

The staff handed Eddie Murphy a line, and then gave him a few minutes to recite and think.

In fact, this line to Eddie Murphy is a bridge in "Rush Hour".

It is quite easy to recite words on the spot, but the problem is that it is still very difficult to make a performance that satisfies or even surprises the other party based on this short passage.

However, for Eddie Murphy, he has had a lot of similar experience in live performances, so it is not a very difficult task for him.

"Hey...you are from Xiangjiang? Well, I heard that you Xiangjiang people are very skilled, kung fu..."

Eddie Murphy made a random gesture. Although it looked funny, it really fit the situation in this scene.

According to the lines given by the other party, Eddie Murphy figured out his reaction when picking up the plane, at least it seemed that he did a good job.

After he finished, the supervisor didn't express any opinion at the first time, but turned his head to the left and didn't know what he was looking at.

"Mr. Murphy, your performance is very good. Although I don't know whether you will be admitted this time, I believe that we will definitely have the opportunity to cooperate in the future."

It was a young man who said these words, and he was sitting next to him in a corner slightly.

Eddie Murphy found that it was a young man who was talking to him, and the other party was sitting far away.

It stands to reason that the people sitting in that kind of place should be just ordinary staff members. What qualifications or rights does he have to say this to himself.

But those who can sit here are at least people from Universal Pictures, or professionals in the film-related industry. Since the other party said so, Eddie Murphy is naturally very happy.

"Thank you. If there is such an opportunity to talk in the future, I will be very happy to accept it."

Eddie Murphy didn't think much about it either. After all, it was probably just a polite remark from the other party. If he took it seriously, it would be a bit too wishful thinking.

"Let me introduce myself, my name is Lin Daoqiu, you may have heard my name before."

Lin Daoqiu looked at Eddie Murphy and smiled slightly.

When Lin Daoqiu said his name, Eddie Murphy hadn't realized it at first, but he had a strong impression of Lin Daoqiu's name in his mind.

"Lin Daoqiu... Lin Lin Daoqiu... Lin... Are you Mr. Lin?"

After Eddie Murphy reacted, his expression at this time was even more exaggerated than when he was performing before.

After all, Lin Daoqiu's movies can be said to have killed the Quartet in Hollywood. Even before "Godzilla" was released, he already had a high reputation in Hollywood.

Not to mention after the release of "Godzilla", it can be said that he has become the most famous director, screenwriter, and producer in Hollywood at this time, and newspapers, magazines and media in the United States call Lin Daoqiu, Basically the word movie mogul is used.
