Senior Superstar

After leaving the audition room, Li Shixin didn't go too far.

Li Shixin found a chair at the end of the corridor of the overcrowded audition room, and sat down on it.

I have to say that acting as a clown is quite exhausting.

Although he has never been in a mental hospital, our old Li was not in a good spirit at first!

Some of the main characteristics of mentally ill patients, Li Shixin is still clear.

As for the characteristics of the role of the clown, Li Shixin can be said to be the best of the best.

What are the outstanding characteristics of a clown?

Repetitive, meaningless actions such as licking lips and shaking legs. Exaggerated body and facial expressions, and absolutely no logical way of thinking.

Although Li Shixin doesn't show any physical movements and expressions, his way of thinking is simply customized by our old Li!

If you don't take this role, who else is qualified?

Um?

Who else?

Crossing Erlang's legs, he glanced at a group of auditioning actors in the corridor, and Li Shixin curled his lips in disdain.

It's not that I look down on you guys, none of you can fight!

With this kind of momentum, Li Shixin leaned back on the chair.

Seeing his arrogance, a few actors who were silently doing skit rehearsals raised their buttocks and walked away.

After sitting in the corridor for a while, Li Shixin finally heard someone calling his name.

"Mr. Li, the director and producer asked you to come in."

brush!

With the greeting of the on-site staff, all the eyes in the corridor suddenly focused on Li Shixin.

Auditions in Hollywood are different from those in China.

In the Rong store, the crew usually recruits actors for the main roles internally, that is, the crew directly connects with various brokerage companies, and then the company recommends suitable candidates for the role to audition in private—especially actresses with long breasts and thighs .

Even if it is a formal crew, generally speaking, the director first finalizes among a few leading actors, and then conducts large-scale auditions for supporting roles.

In terms of the process, suitable actors are selected according to the scope of the role.

Hollywood is more about unified audition. In addition to the starring candidates designated by the producer, the outstanding performance of the auditioner is recorded in the public audition session, and then based on the characteristics of the auditioner, decide what role she/he will play.

This kind of audition is very interesting. Often the actor goes for the A role, but when he is finally notified, he learns that he is going to play the B role.

So auditions in Hollywood are more like company interviews.

Often, the results of the interview are not decided on the same day.

At this time, seeing Li Shixin being called to the audition room for the second time, the eyes of the actors in the corridor became complicated.

Well, be jealous, be envious.

Standing up calmly, Li Shixin put his hands behind his back.

Under a group of sour or envious gazes, Shi Shiran walked into the audition room again.

In the audition room, sitting behind the long table were still Nolan and the producer whose name Li Shixin didn't remember at all.

Seeing Li Shixin enter the room, Nolan, who had already sorted out his emotions, smiled and pointed to a chair opposite him.

"Lee, please take a seat. Let's talk about your role."

Seeing that the other party was talking about something serious, Li Shixin nodded.

"Please say."

Nolan looked behind him, and an on-site staff immediately sent a document to Li Shixin.

"Li, I told you before that the reason why I asked you to audition is because I saw your wonderful interpretation of the villain Hannibal in "The Silence of the Lambs". To be honest, I invite you to audition this time." , also for a villain. If you’ve read the Batman comics, this character should be familiar to you—the Joker.”

really.

Li Shixin nodded silently as he looked at the information in his hand that contained mission image descriptions, styling settings, and plot lines.

Although he had expected it, when the mystery was finally revealed, he still couldn't help but fluctuate in his mentality.

"Originally, we had six auditions for this role. But after your wonderful impromptu performance just now, I personally and Bob feel that the next audition is unnecessary. So now there is only one question left, you Can you accept this role? As you know, although the role of the Joker is a villain, it is a pivotal role in Batman's story. It is even said that the main story driver of the current script is derived from the Joker's initiation of Batman. This is a very demanding role for acting, and I have to tell you in advance that this role requires heavy makeup throughout, and there are no shots showing your true colors.”

Faced with Nolan's reminder and question, Li Shixin was delighted.

Only young fresh meat without acting skills will be obsessed with exposing their well-maintained faces in front of the camera to cover up the fact of facial paralysis.

A really good actor doesn't need to use his own appearance to act most of the time.

"I can accept."

Li Shixin gave his own answer.

"That's great. Li, since there is no problem, we will contact your agency later to finalize the performance time and salary. If there is no problem with your schedule and the quotation from the agency, from a personal point of view , I am very glad that you can join the crew."

There is no problem with Li Shixin's schedule. "Strange 2" has already set up a shooting plan. Although he is the number one villain, Li Shixin actually doesn't have many scenes. According to the notice given there, it should be OK in more than a week.

As for the remuneration, Li Shixin doesn't care about those three melons and two dates.

The previous pay for "Strange 2" was 1.2 million knives. This price is not low in Hollywood, but it is definitely not high. It can only be said to be a blue-collar salary.

DC has always been generous in making films, and the price of two to three million US dollars should be able to be paid out.

Moreover, according to Li Shixin's special status in Woods Company, the company will definitely not open his mouth, because the question of asking price ruined the development opportunities.

But Li Shixin has some other ideas about the salary.

"Actually, if it's this role, I don't have to be paid."

"ah?"

Hearing Li Shixin's sudden words, the producer Bob Coulson, who was sitting next to Nolan, suddenly raised his head.

Is it that good?

"Lee, I don't understand."

Nolan shrugged suspiciously.

"I can play the role of the Joker for zero pay, or a symbolic pay of one dollar."

Faced with his doubts, Li Shixin smiled faintly.

"I just have one condition."

"Tell me."

Bob Coulson was instantly interested.

"What conditions?"

Seeing the greed in the opponent's eyes, Li Shixin was happy.

"If possible, I would like to make a movie with a clown as the main character. My salary is considered to be in exchange for DC's adaptation authorization fee."

"Watt? That's it?"

Hearing Li Shixin's so-called request, Bob Coulson was overjoyed.

In the world, is there such a good thing?
