The Best Actor in the Vase of Meiyu

Chapter 218 Rival Actor
In the United States, college tuition is expensive. When children from ordinary families go to college, they often apply for student loans. Just like car loans and house loans, they take out tuition loans to complete their studies, and then work and repay them slowly after graduation. Many people wait until The loan can only be repaid after the age of thirty.

Therefore, some children from poor families will not go to university to study after graduating from middle school, but directly enter the society and start working.

In "Spider-Man", this is the case for both Peter Parker and Mary Jane. Due to family reasons, the two began to look for jobs after graduating from high school. Peter Parker tried to become a newspaper photojournalist, while Mary Jane hoped to become an actor. ——

However, the ups and downs of the actor's path are far beyond imagination.

Today, the scene of the screen audition is the unexpected encounter between Peter Parker and Mary Jane on the street. Peter had just finished the audition for the newspaper office and did not want to see Mary Jane, so he chased over to say hello.

In order to pursue her dream of becoming an actress, Mary Jane was forced to work as a waitress in a restaurant to make ends meet. She was too shy to talk about this job as a waiter, and kept it secret from her boyfriend Harry, the "Little Green Goblin", and she didn't want anyone else to do it. Know.

The encounter took place in this context.

Mary Jane didn't want any of her middle school classmates to see her miserable appearance. She tried to cover up, escape, and smile, but in the end she exposed her down and out side in front of Peter.

In Anson's view, the real key to the crew choosing this scene as screen audition content was to see the chemical reaction between the male and female protagonists.

Just like Anson’s understanding of Sam Raimi, it is completely faithful to the original work——

Rather than saying "Spider-Man" is a story about a superhero saving the world, it is better to say that it is a story about a teenager growing up and facing the world.

Rather than letting the actors put on suits and show off their superhero bodies, Sam would rather see Peter Parker face another important moment of emotional transformation in his growth path.

This scene can be regarded as a turning point.

Here, Peter Parker has fully accepted his identity as Spider-Man, fighting crime secretly while starting a social life. When he reunited with Mary Jane again, he was braver and more determined.

At the same time, Mary Jane is trapped in the prison of her own life, trying to pursue her dreams but is repeatedly trapped by reality. Although she has a new boyfriend, good looks and wealth, she does not dare to show her true feelings easily.

Standing in front of Peter Parker, her first reaction was to hide herself, but during the conversation, she unexpectedly discovered that her relationship with Peter was always very comfortable and relaxed, and she could be herself in front of Peter.

Although Mary-Jane did not fall in love with Peter, this was already foreshadowed.

It's an important scene for Peter's growth, for the entire emotional arc, and the chemistry between the two actors is crucial.

Therefore, the crew chose such a scene——

So, judging from Anson's judgment, Sam still has the key decision-making power; moreover, screen auditions do play a key role in the competition.

After review and judgment, Anson had an understanding of the character's status, emotional context, and the focus of the entire scene, and was ready when he actually stepped into the audition room.

In front of me, there are still those people——

Laura Ziskin, Ian Bryce, Sam Raimi and other familiar faces.

But things have changed slightly.

Ian Bryce set up a professional camera on a tripod in front of him, and a cameraman stood behind to personally operate the scene.

Although it is not that particular, there should be a lot of camera position, lighting, makeup and styling. Each audition will be filmed and kept as a file.

It is worth mentioning that the screen audition materials may not only be watched by the interviewers in front of you, but film company executives and other producers may also gather together to watch and express their opinions.

In addition, all auditioning actors entered the audition room together, including actors and actresses, and all sat in a row of seats against the wall.

At this time, they can see each other, not only the competitors, but also the rival actors, and they will also audition in front of the competitors. The whole competition atmosphere is different - it feels like a beauty pageant. .

Kate Bosworth saw Anson at a glance, the guy who completely ignored her at the acting academy last time. As soon as her eyes widened, the eldest lady lost her temper, but she immediately put on the emergency brake and controlled herself.

This is not a place where you can be willful.

Kate is very clear-headed.

She just glared at Anson fiercely, and then controlled herself. She couldn't bear it and made big plans. After she won the role of Mary Jane, she would slowly settle the score with that guy.

However, Kate was destined to be disappointed, because Anson was not looking at her at all.

Anson certainly noticed Kate's name, but it wasn't the point for him. There was nothing worthy of special attention, and he didn't think there was anything special about Kate.

An actor's job is to perform.

In the classic movie "Gone with the Wind", there is a classic kiss scene between the heroine Scarlett and the hero Rhett, which has been selected by countless professional filmmakers as the most romantic kiss in film history. However, in fact, the filming of this kiss was a disaster.

Vivien-Leigh, who played Scarlett, and the leading actor Clark-Gable didn't like each other at the time, and they were definitely gnashing their teeth.

Vivien Leigh believed that Clark Gable was arrogant and arrogant; at the time, Vivien Leigh, who was divorcing her husband Laurence-Olivier, kept having emotional breakdowns and interrupted filming every now and then. In Clark Gable's eyes, She is a resentful woman with serious emotions.

The two people were disgusted by each other on the set and would never appear on the same occasion unless necessary. The filming of that kiss scene was the peak of their conflict.

Although they hate it privately, they must show professionalism in front of the camera.

Clark Gable deliberately smoked and then didn't rinse his mouth in order to relieve Vivien Leigh's throat; after Vivien Leigh was choked, she ate a bunch of garlic in revenge.

Regardless of the breath in their mouths, the two actors still showed absolute professionalism and completed the romantic kiss in front of the camera that mesmerized countless people.

Therefore, the shocking kiss that has gone down in history was actually a combination of cigarettes and garlic flavor.

But that's what actors are.

Anson is still learning as an actor, and he's not sure whether he can adapt to a kiss with cigarettes and garlic; but facing an irrelevant Kate, this really doesn't matter.

What's more, there are four actors and four actresses in front of us. Different permutations and combinations are possible, and each actor may even have to perform with a different opponent. In a series of situations, a Kate Bosworth has not arrived at all. Anson was not worried about any interference from beginning to end.

In fact, what Anson is really thinking about is that the two previous protagonists, Tobey Maguire and Kristen Dunst, are no longer around. Maybe they can create a new version of "Spider-Man"?
In just a short meeting, Ian Bryce noticed the subtle changes in the atmosphere of the scene with sharp eyes, and couldn't help but become curious.

So Ian spoke.

"Are you ready?"

"You've got the lines in advance, right?"

"Anson, Kate, you go out and try it out first."
