Chapter 216 "The Matrix" Audition Storm

In a luxury apartment in Los Angeles, Keanu Reeves was silently listening to his agent's impassioned speech.

"Keanu, you can't go on like this. You have to cheer up and stop living this freewheeling life." The agent said earnestly.

Keanu Reeves responded silently, and his agent didn't know what was going on in his mind.

But it doesn’t matter, he mainly persuaded Keanu Reeves to stop staying at home and go out and walk more. In addition, Gilbert Jr.’s invitation has been sent to Keanu Reeves and he cannot miss it.

"Keanu, do you remember whose movie you starred in and became a Hollywood A-list star?"

Hearing these words, Keanu Reeves reacted and looked up at his agent.

The agent said: "It's director Gilbert Jr. His "Speed" made you become a Hollywood first-line star in one fell swoop.

Now he has invited you again. This is an opportunity to start over. "

Keanu Reeves finally spoke: "Director Gilbert Jr. extended an invitation to me again?"

"I feel a little tight and it makes me uncomfortable." Charlize Theron pulled down the zipper on her back slightly, revealing her white back.

Charlize Theron refused to drink water before her audition because the black leotard was a little awkward.

An audition is taking place in Santa Monica, the newly relocated location of Melon Studios. The audition of the male protagonist Neo was put in the back, and the audition of the heroine Tritini was conducted first.

Work hard, Keanu, and try to get this role. "

Only the one who got the role was notified, and the rest were not notified, so they naturally knew that they had failed the audition.

Tom Cruise originally wanted to audition for "The Matrix", but Paramount urged him to start preparations for "Mission: Impossible 2", so Tom Cruise had to regretfully withdraw from the audition.

There is no doubt that Halle Berry did not conquer the directors and producers.

Come on, let's wait outside the audition hall. "

After Halle Berry’s audition, the next person to audition was Nicole Kidman.

In the audition hall, Halle Berry is auditioning. Compared to Charlize Theron, who had ample information, Halle Berry only had a few minutes to delve into the role.

However, due to face-saving reasons, the audition results are usually not notified on the spot. Notification usually takes three days, and only the person who gets the role is notified.

Charlize Theron has a large frame, but she is indeed a good clothes rack. Putting on this black tights, she perfectly takes advantage of her height and long legs.

Others didn't receive the notification and knew they didn't get the role.

Charlize Theron also explained for Little Gilbert: "That's not what you said, my dear. For such a big project, the choice of role must convince the public, and it cannot be a single statement.

Charlize Theron walked out with long legs, and her assistant followed behind with a water glass.

"Yes, that's right," the agent nodded: "This is an action science fiction film, and you are one of the few people named by Little Gilbert.

Of course, little Gilbert doesn't have to worry about this, but it's not like he has to make the call himself. The people below still have to consider the faces of these big names who are participating in the audition.

"Oh my God, Sally, you're so beautiful, I want to pin you against the wall," Charlize Theron's assistant joked.

However, he backhanded his wife Nicole Kidman and asked Gilbert Jr. to give him a chance.

The assistant was still complaining: "Sally, you have been with Director Gilbert for so long, why does he still hold auditions? Wouldn't it be better to just confirm you as the female lead?"

Then why didn't the crew notify them personally? The reason is simple, it is also about face. If you personally inform people that you failed the audition, how will this make them think? Can't keep up the good work.

Many people in the industry are rumoring that there is a relationship problem between this Hollywood golden couple. Now it is clear that it is just a rumor. They are in a good relationship!
Nicole Kidman's acting is pretty good, so there's no big problem.

She also belongs to the tall and long-legged type. If she puts on Tritini's black tights, she feels even more beautiful than Charlize Theron.

But this woman has a big problem, that is, she is not well received by North American audiences.

With the attribute of being a box office poison, not many people dare to take the risk and choose Nicole Kidman.

After Nicole Kidman's performance, Gilbert Jr. walked her out personally.

Since the relationship was okay, little Gilbert also said frankly: "Your face is too fierce, suitable for playing some bad guys, such as the queen in Snow White."

Nicole Kidman smiled bitterly: "So, I can't get this role?"

"I'm sorry Mary," little Gilbert thought for a while and said, "Do you know that I want to adapt "The Lord of the Rings"?"

After Nicole Kidman nodded, Little Gilbert said: "Go back and watch "The Lord of the Rings" and focus on the role of Queen Keltrilla. I think you are very suitable."

"Is this a promise?" Nicole Kidman's newly lost heart rose again.

"Just take it as it is, Mary..." Little Gilbert patted Nicole Kidman on the shoulder and was embarrassed to find that Nicole, wearing high heels, was half a head taller than him.

Nicole smiled softly, bent down slightly and hugged little Gilbert: "If you are free, let me treat you to a meal. I know a good restaurant."

"Okay, it's an honor."

After ending the hug, little Gilbert said: "I heard that Director Kubrick is not in good health. If he extends an invitation to you, you'd better consider it."

Nicole Kidman is still surprised that she hasn’t heard that Director Kubrick wants to invite her to star in any projects!
Before he could ask, little Gilbert had already returned to the audition hall.

Nicole Kidman looked at the many waiting actresses. Among them, a woman wearing a black tights stood out, that is Charlize Theron. It seems that this role has already been chosen, and they are just running around.

Are all the women who follow little Gilbert so happy? Nicole Kidman thought of Tom Cruise again, and her friend Naomi Watts, who has become an A-list actress.

A feeling of dissatisfaction rose instantly, making her feel angry for no reason.

Especially Naomi Watts, who was struggling when she first came to Los Angeles, and he helped her survive in Los Angeles.

But now, Naomi Watts is already a first-line actress, and her successive appearances in "Twister" and "Contact" have achieved very good results.

As for myself, I have been treading water...

The development gap made Nicole Kidman increasingly dissatisfied with Tom Cruise, and she also became jealous of her former good sister and now superficial friend Naomi Watts.

At the same time, she also had a thought in her heart: Why? Can't I crawl into little Gilbert's bed and give myself a chance?

Maybe Queen of Keltrilan is an opportunity. As for Kubrick's project, Nicole Kidman pretended not to have heard of it.

Charlize Theron was thoughtful as she watched Nicole Kidman leave.

If there is anyone who is competitive in this audition, it is this Australian actress.

But judging from how little Gilbert sent her out just now, Nicole Kidman obviously didn't get the role.

Little Gilbert had a good relationship with the Cruz couple, so he came out to explain in person.

Looking at the remaining actresses outside the audition hall, Charlize Theron saw Penelope Cruz, Uma Thurman, Jennifer Connelly and other actresses.

They are all potential actresses who have just emerged in Hollywood, but Charlize Theron believes that they are not a threat.

But the girl named Jennifer Connelly is quite beautiful, and she is the kind of woman who has the aesthetic point of view of little Gilbert.

Charlize Theron knows her man fairly well.

Although Jennifer Connelly is beautiful, little Gilbert is not the kind of person who can't walk when he sees a woman. Otherwise, there are so many beauties in Hollywood, and little Gilbert wouldn't be able to sleep even if he slept ten times a day.

Even she herself met little Gilbert because she met Cameron Diaz in an acting class, and through Cameron Diaz.

But the first time was very romantic. It was on a TV signal tower on a hilltop in San Francisco Bay. That was her most romantic moment.

Using the sky as a quilt and the earth as a bed, under the witness of the stars in the sky, the moment of harmony is completed.

Little Gilbert is like this, not very active. So sometimes, the women around them need to help little Gilbert.

Thinking of this, Charlize Theron took the initiative to walk over and say hello to Jennifer Connelly.

"Hey! You are Jennifer Connelly. You have starred in "Once Upon a Time in America" ​​and "Secrets of Love." I have seen the movies you starred in, and they were quite good."

Jennifer Connelly was still confused. Where did this tall, long-legged woman wearing a black tights come from?

Although her manager told her not to talk to other actresses at the audition, lest they pry for information.

But she still knew Charlize Theron, one of Gilbert Jr.'s rumored girlfriends.

Thinking that it should be fine, Jennifer Connelly smiled shyly: "Hello, Miss Theron."

"Just call me Sally," Charlize Theron, like an innocent girl with an easy-to-deceive look, sat next to Jennifer Connelly and started chatting with her.

The old man once commented on Charlize Theron. This woman is not the most beautiful among Hollywood actresses, but in terms of careful thinking and scheming, she can definitely be ranked high among Hollywood actresses.

The old man has been in Hollywood for so long, no matter what his grades are, he is still very accurate in judging people.

Jennifer Connelly debuted very early. In 1984, at the age of fourteen, she starred in "Once Upon a Time in America" ​​directed by Leone.

Since then, he has appeared in many works, but none of them seem to be well-known masterpieces.

In terms of scheming and means, she may have it, but she is definitely not as good as Charlize Theron, who is five years younger than her.

There are not many actresses who can compete with Charlize Theron, and Nicole Kidman may be one of them.

One did it deliberately, the other was unprepared, and the two communicated without any obstacles at the audition until Jennifer Connelly was called in to audition.

Needless to say, Jennifer Connelly's performance was okay, but not as good as Nicole Kidman or even Halle Berry.

After Jennifer Connelly, it was Charlize Theron's turn to audition.

Jennifer Connelly thought that it would not be good for her to leave like this, so she waited there for a while, waiting for Charlize Theron's audition to end.

As soon as Charlize Theron entered, she was immediately praised by the director team and producers.

Charles Rowan said: "Little Gilbert, I don't think I have to choose. Let Sally play the role directly!"

Everyone on the directing team agreed. James Gunn even exaggerated: "Oh my god, this outfit will attract the attention of all male movie fans."

Despite what he said, Charlize Theron still insisted on performing: "I think everyone should see the effect of my audition, otherwise it will be unfair to other people who auditioned."

"That makes sense." Little Gilbert nodded and signaled to the assistant director Anne: "Get the camera ready, audition for script No. B..."
