Jeffrey Hawkins hung up the phone in a low voice.
"Fxxk!" He slammed the microphone back. It seemed that the investment in the PDA was going to be wiped out. Apple's stock plummeted, and Palm's product outlook was bleak.
"You are going to Silicon Valley? But these few days are the critical period for the second round of auditions." Taraji asked, standing by his side and hearing all this.
"I won't delay things, and I can arrange the schedule myself." Song Ya raised the notebook with the schedule in his hand to him, "So how did your performance class go?"
"Uh, Amy had a fight with Charis who came to class." Taraji offered to help clean up, "It's almost a fight."
"But I heard that part of the reason is that you keep arguing on the sidelines." Song Ya said while watching Taraji who was quickly helping tidy up the table. As the person who paid, Ivana Chabock would of course give him a small report.
"Yes, that South African girl is too much, do you know? She used Amy's friendship before calling her to listen to the script and casting plan. It's really a bitch." Taraji complained.
"Really? But I don't think you want to see that girl get the heroine, right? You have a height difference with her. If she gets the heroine, your own female second is even more dangerous." Song Ya Puncture her careful thoughts, "So you deliberately intensified the conflict between her and Amy, and you are also doing very **** things."
"I don't know why. Under the pressure of Hollywood competition, people will become more and more bittersweet. You don't know, even the small performance classes are like the harem of Sudan. Women Mingli Fight back and forth in secret..."
Taraji sighed: "You will still support Amy, right?"
"of course."
Song Ya propped her chin, looked at the night view of Los Angeles outside the window, and muttered, "Of course..."
Chicago 1990 Chapter 343: Round 3 audition

The knowledge of film casting is very deep, not only the unspoken underground doorways, but also the logic and coordination of appearance and acting skills, the audience's perspective, the pay, the popularity and topicality of the actors, and so on.
The protagonist candidate is naturally the top priority. It is the basis and skeleton of all other castings. It is impossible to use a black man as the male lead but choose a Latino to play her biological mother. For youth films, it is impossible to make the figure look good. Any female lead role will be out of the picture, so the sooner you decide on the protagonist, the better, especially the protagonist with complicated relationships in the play.
"APLUS, is this okay?"
As the untouchable male protagonist, Song Ya went to Universal Studios at the appointed time to take makeup photos there.
"Yes." He glanced at the crumpled gray-green jacket in the dresser's hand, which was the same as the male lead in the script and the original movie, and nodded in agreement. According to the setting, the male protagonist is from a poor family in the black area, and the clothes must be in line with the family income. Only under the premise of satisfying the sense of reality can he advertise his products by the way. For example, the T-shirt under the jacket is the product of A+ clothing.
Amperin Entertainment’s accounting management is very professional. This kind of soft advertising is also required to pay. Of course, they only charge a symbolic price for the main investor’s industry, and most of the expenditure of A+ apparel is to provide free costumes for the protagonists and supporting actors. In addition to the clothes, they also received Yamaha’s musical instrument sponsorship and Jansport’s schoolbag sponsorship. The amount was not large, and there was nothing else. This shows that most advertisers are not optimistic about the movie, otherwise they will get a lot of money back just by selling the mirror ads. cost.
In addition, consumer electronics such as mobile phones and laptops used by actors in the original movie rarely appear in student groups in this era, which is a great pity.
As for the fluorescent party, the lawsuit in New York is still going on. Amperin Entertainment and Universal don't want to ask for trouble, and the production of Barn Company is already at full capacity, so Song Ya didn't insist on selling it.
After getting dressed and walking to the small studio with plenty of light, Song Ya began to pose with a facial expression of the male protagonist.
"Hold your head up, yes, that's it, keep it up." The male photographer kept pressing the shutter, "Okay, let's change the position, you have to be like this..."
He approached and demonstrated in person, for example, opening the thumb and forefinger is brighter than smiling at the chin, putting his hands in the pockets to be cool, holding his hands in front of his chest, etc., "This way... keep changing the posture, our efficiency will be much faster ."
"Like a model?" Song Ya asked.
"You are now my model APLUS."
"Ok."
Song Ya kept switching POSE, and then changed into a suit when the photographer was satisfied. It took two or three hours to finish the work.
"Does everyone want to shoot?" Song Ya changed back to his clothes and took the gold watch and gold chain that Taraji had helped put on.
"Yes, the main role, other people do not have to work so hard as the male and female lead." The photographer replied: "When the female lead is selected, you have to take a pair of makeup photos for us. There are various promotional photos during the filming. , Studio photos, documentary short films..."
"It sounds very cumbersome." Song Ya said.
"This is just the beginning." The photographer counted the film and smiled: "You should have been used to APLUS, haven't you? Just ignore us who are always around."
Indeed, the number of channels is similar to that of record announcements, and the workload is much larger.
"Catherine." He and Taraji went to the casting venue rented from Universal. It was actually a larger rehearsal room with wooden floors for dancing, a long table, and only a folding chair in front of the long table. A tripod and machine for photography. The third round of auditions for the heroine just ended, and he met Catherine, the president of Amperin Entertainment, again, "How was the result?"
"Watch it for yourself." Catherine handed Song Ya, which was reduced to ten or less resumes. "Do you want to watch the casting video? Let's watch and talk."
"Ok."
Amy was placed first, "Hi, everyone, my name is Amy Adams..." From the beginning of the video, Amy appeared from the door, showing her iconic smile, slightly flattering.
"It's a sweet smile." Catherine looked at her face on the screen and said: "Maybe she is indeed suitable for Hollywood. In other movies, she will have a good chance to play the sweet girl of the American lower class."
In another hint, Song Ya did not respond.
"Come in, you got the audition dance moves, right?" the casting director asked.
"Yes, Ms. Fletcher gave it to me, and she also gave some guidance, thank you very much, hi." She greeted Anne Fletcher to get a relationship.
"Then start, don't waste time." Annie Fletcher said.
"Ok."
She immediately took off her coat in a hurry. Inside was a ballet suit. The thin and some figure was very attractive. When the accompaniment sounded, she posed, her head nodded nervously to the beat, and then began to dance at the beginning of the paragraph. Standing on pointed toes like a deer, he immediately raised his legs...
I can see that the movements are in place, but the expressiveness is indeed a bit worse. It is better than what they said before, such as aerobics. The sense of strength is very lacking. Of course, it can also be said that the jump is light enough. The master's setting is not consistent. After all, the heroine is a modern dancer who uses more ballet elements.
Catherine glanced at Song Ya, "Very progressing, isn't it?" Song Ya pretended to be stupid.
