Michelle has obviously received some ballet training. She just strikes poses, does some low-difficulty spins, and stands without any problems. But the arabesque pose at the end showed the secret.
In the arabesque position, the dancer raises his hands flat, stands on one leg, and stretches the other leg as far back as possible to form a right angle. Michelle did the low-difficulty version, which is no longer very decent. If she were asked to do the high-difficulty version of standing on tiptoes, she would not look like a ballet dancer at all.
It seems that for this role, one must choose someone who can act from those who can dance ballet, not someone who can dance ballet from those who can act.
Had Meg not injured her back, the role of Hilary would have suited her perfectly. Ronald thought.
Send Michelle out of the audition room and call the next person.
"Drink this, Michelle, made from vegetables. A vegetarian diet will help you become healthy and give up alcohol, cigarettes and all other addictive things."
Ronald noticed that the agents who accompanied Michelle seemed to be a couple, and they were talking about the benefits of vegetarianism.
Seeing Ronald, Michelle showed a wry smile and started drinking the green paste.
Ronald could only shrug, saying that there was nothing he could do to help her.
Hillary's audition is over. Ronald started calling Leroy the auditioning actors again.
Leroy's character is a talented dancer from the slums. He is illiterate and accompanied his female partner to the audition. As a result, the female partner was eliminated and he stayed.
"Patrick Swayze" is another strange surname with two consonants stacked together. Fortunately, I asked Margery how to pronounce it before I came out.
"Please go to the locker room and change into your practice clothes, and then go in for the audition, thank you."
"Thank you."
Patrick thanked him politely.
Ronald noticed that his eyes were narrow and he looked very masculine, but he looked a bit old.
Sure enough, I saw that I was already 27 on my resume. It was a bit difficult to pretend to be young at this age.
However, Patrick's ballet skills are top-notch, and he can complete the big jumps and double jumps of the ballet easily. According to Margaery, it was at a professional level.
The acting part is also good. Unfortunately, there are already wrinkles on his forehead, making it difficult to believe that he is a high school student.
Ronald took down the comments from the director and producer and asked Patrick to go back and wait for news.
Another person who came to audition for Leroy was a pillar of the American Ballet School, and it was said that he had been spotted by Blanchine, the director of the New York City Ballet. In addition to his parents, he was accompanied by an agent and a manager, surrounded by stars.
When he is called in, his mother will follow him in. Ronald hurriedly stopped him. This was the rule. No matter how big an actor he was, only one person could audition.
The mother was very unhappy and continued to criticize her, saying that some people in low positions know how to use it immediately if they have a little power. His son will be destined to become a big star. A star mother cannot be deprived of seeing her son take the first step on the Avenue of Stars. One step of power.
Ronald shook his head with a wry smile. His son came from a wealthy family, so I'm afraid it would be difficult for Leroy to play the role of a lower-class commoner.
During the audition, the ballet part was successfully completed.
But the performance score was very low. This mama's baby couldn't play a character who was born in the slums of Harlem.
Leroy joins a gang, is illiterate, and is interested in ballet, picking up trash in exchange for ballet class time.
Ma's baby acting is like Barbie putting on an apron to cook, with a false pretense everywhere.
The temperament doesn't match at all.
Sure enough, director Parker gave a very low evaluation, and Ma'ao was completely out of the question.
This audition is really about acting, dancing, appearance, and temperament. All aspects must be consistent, and nothing is missing.
The next role to audition was Montgomery. It’s the character of a student who is a professional actor, sensitive, has a secret (gay), and whose mother has schizophrenia.
Ronald started calling the number, but found that the actor with messy teeth in yesterday's photo was not here, and was about to skip him and call the next number.
The last boy sitting in the waiting area stood up, "Is it my turn?"
"Well, is it you? Your teeth?" Ronald found that he was the actor with messy teeth. But now his teeth are very straight, and he looks exactly like the two people in the original photo. No wonder I can't recognize it.
"Um, have you found a dentist? Didn't you read the audition notice? What we are looking for is an acting student with low self-esteem, so we chose you." Ronald pointed to his teeth. I couldn't help but feel sorry for him in my heart.
"Oh my gosh. My agent just sent me to the dentist to get false front teeth, and I didn't know about it beforehand."
"Please, if the director needs it, I can remove the dentures and replace them with a pair of cheap dentures bought in the supermarket, so that they look suitable. Please, please." The boy said, clasping his hands together in a pleading gesture. . "
"Where's your agent?"
"He is busy with other business, and I am here alone today."
"It doesn't matter. I'm just an assistant. The final result is decided by the director. I will tell the director about your situation. Don't worry."
Ronald saw that he was not accompanied by an agent like the others, that he came alone, and that he was willing to act ugly for the role. He felt a little sympathetic and hurriedly accompanied him in.
Director Parker told him about orthodontics, and Parker nodded and agreed to let him give it a try.
However, director Parker was also very helpless about his corrected teeth. After the orthodontic treatment, his temperament changed drastically and he didn't look like Montgomery at all. Makeup was also difficult to solve.
Acting is a weird profession. Sometimes, being ugly actually has an advantage.
After an afternoon of auditions, I didn't get a single role. Producer Da Silva looked a bit ugly, especially because Michelle Pfeiffer, whom he greeted, was not selected and went after director Parker to discuss it.
"Isn't Michelle Pfeiffer great? We can use a double to solve those difficult moves..."
"No, she has a lot of medium shots, so she can't use a stand-in..."
"Is this normal?" Ronald asked Margaery.
"It's quite normal. Sometimes for a leading role, auditions last for several months. There are also cases where the director ultimately cancels the project because he can't find the candidate he wants for the leading role."
"So we're just counting on the big acting academy auditions on the weekend?"
"Yes, there will be 1,400 students coming to audition, including graduating classes and seniors."
…
On weekend morning, the crew walked into the main entrance of the Performing Arts Academy.
However, the teacher who received them did not take them directly to the auditorium. Instead, he invited all the members into the principal's conference room.
The principal and school directors were already waiting inside.
After the crew sat down, they didn't have time to exchange greetings.
The principal took out a piece of paper and began to read:
"In view of the script for the movie 'Hot Lunch,' which denigrates and slanders the character of our students, the Board of Trustees and the New York Board of Education have decided that until the script is corrected, the School of Performing Arts will no longer cooperate with you in casting, nor will it be allowed to School students will participate in auditions for the crew, and school venues will no longer be rented for filming.”
problem occurs!
