Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    "Girls, welcome to this talent show! You are the first group, so you should have something to say as an opening statement, but time is limited."

    At 8:10 in the morning, the small theater of the Screening Theater kicked off. The ten young and beautiful young actresses on the small stage all smiled and looked at the people in the audience.  In fact, no one wants to be in the first group, which really adds an extra layer of pressure.

    Emma Stone, who is on the right in the middle, is peeking at Ye Wei. She is more handsome in real life than in the photo. She has such a strong aura. She is only nine months older than her, but so mature. She is the most unique young boy in the United States, a genius viy.  .

    "I give you a quote from the avant-garde master Max Reinhardt: 'Never mind your talent, ask yourself first whether you have a strong willpower!'"

    Ye Wei's voice became louder: "This draft is just a draft. Maybe you need to participate in similar activities 100 or 1,000 times to win the chance of success. Don't fail at the 99th or 999th time. Let's get started.  ! Now please show a cat."

    The whole place fell silent. When he finished speaking, the ten girls immediately started performing, Cat!

    The eyes of the four judges are different, and the managers behind them are also observing carefully. The next big star may be on the stage.

    For this kind of casting method, no one will feel that it disrespects the actors. Animal simulation is the most basic performance practice.  It can exercise the actor's imagination, reaction and real-time performance capabilities, and then use nature to defeat reason to act, and study and shape characters from an animal perspective.

    On the other hand, in animal simulation performances, an actor's talent and realistic ability can be directly demonstrated.

    "But it's very difficult to play three animals in three minutes. It's also difficult for people like Hanks and Streep. But now, Ye Weiyi said he would play it!

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? and and how to perform the animal in a good posture becomes even more difficult.

    The calls of "meow" sounded one after another, and the girls acted in their own way. The blond girl on the far left walked slowly with a lazy expression; the brown-haired girl next to her seemed to have her tail raised, and she was startled.  Staring at everyone angrily, she backed away; the black-haired girl on the far right raised her right fist and rubbed her face, like a cute cat

    cat!  Emma Stone's first reaction was to look at the human cat with disdain. She knew that the key to animal simulation was to release her instinct, so she gave up her thoughts for a moment and acted instinctively.  She looked forward with disdain, her body curled up slightly, as if lying on the ground, motionless.

    Cats always remain motionless for long periods of time.

    "No. 7 performed well.", "No. 3's posture is very beautiful.", "Why is No. 7 not moving?", "No. 9 has some ideas." The agents were full of ideas.

    The three casting directors all watched and wrote down the basis for their ratings on paper.

    Kaufman paid special attention to Emma Stone, the blonde girl in No. 7. She was the best-looking and most professional one in the first group, and she was also performing best now. Although she didn't move much, she made the cat's still expression look better.  Acting vividly.

    Sebold and Bethany are still in the excitement of the opening, looking at this and that, looking for their ideal candidate.

    There is no Susie in this group.  Sebold thought, but No. 7 can play Clarissa, so it should be fine.

    Ye Wei calmly looked at the ten girls. It was impossible to see them all clearly, but he could see who was the leader.  No. 4, 5, 6 and 8 are not good. They are not resolute enough in their acting. They have to think so much even when they act like a cat!

    The purpose of simulating animals is to eliminate rational thinking. There is no plan or foresight. Dogma, theory and thinking cannot be involved. The observation and understanding of the corresponding animals have long been stored in the memory and subconscious. Only in this way can nature be liberated and the essence of the performance  .

    And not only do they lack the strength, but they are also not well prepared. After knowing that the draft will simulate animals, haven¡¯t they ever practiced with cats and dogs?

    Each group will have a common animal, an uncommon but well-known animal, and an unpopular animal.  The first is just to let the actors warm up and let the judges quickly screen.

    Ye Wei moved his eyes, Stone Emma's acting was okay, but just okay.

    ??Everyone felt that almost in the blink of an eye, the clock on the screen behind the girls counted down to zero. One minute passed and the second minute began.

    "Okay, now please play hippopotamus." Ye Wei said.

    hippo!  The girls were about to transform from cats to hippopotamuses immediately. This speed made all of them only superficially understand the difference. The seven girls opened their mouths fiercely when they heard it, and the two girls acted swimming.  One person acted out eating grass.

    Emma Stone is one of those people with a big mouth.

    The girls hadn¡¯t performed much yet when they suddenly heard viy say again: "AA fish has invaded your territory!  "

    They were all in a panic immediately, and several of them were stunned. Isn't this just an impromptu performance?  Only three people reacted quickly. No matter what they were doing, they acted ferociously and brutally. Girl No. 9 even pounced forward and bit her.

    Emma Stone also rushed forward, letting out a low roar, opening her mouth to the maximum and then closing it all at once, as if she had used all her strength!

    Now all the three Kaufmans can see that No. 7 is the leader of this group. Only she has the strength that a hippopotamus should have when fighting a crocodile, while the others are lighthearted.

    "The crocodile carcass is stuck in your throat." Ye Wei suddenly said again.

    The responses of the ten girls changed again. Almost all of them had painful expressions on their faces. Some were clasping their necks with both hands, and some looked like they were about to vomit. However, Emma Stone, who was the most noticed by the judges, did not disappoint!  She swallowed hard, like forcing a crocodile carcass into her stomach, and then chewed her mouth.

    ¡°No one knows whether a hippopotamus would do this, but this behavior is more in line with the image of a hippopotamus. It is a victory of imagination and understanding.

    Kaufman looked appreciative, No. 7 is really good!  The discernment she had developed over many years of casting told her that this girl's talent was extraordinary.

    When situations change, Number 7 is the quickest to respond, without pause, which means no or very little thinking.  Rather, it is an instinctive, authentic, natural response that is what drives an animal's behavior.

    The best animal simulation is when the actor performs the animal's shape, rhythm, characteristics and nature in a comprehensive and unthinking way.

    This girl is a bit fussy, and she is getting more and more involved as she performs.

    At this time, the second minute has passed, and Ye Wei said again: "Okay, now please play the poison dart frog, a jungle frog that can spit out deadly venom."

    When the cry of "croak" rang out, the girls immediately transformed from hippopotamus into frogs. Most of them flapped their cheeks and acted with jumping body movements or crawling movements of their hands and feet.

    This time, Emma Stone was stunned for two or three seconds, and then started to act a beat slower. She also flapped her cheeks, stared slightly, and jumped forward.

    This surprised the judges, and Kaufman couldn¡¯t help but frown. He didn¡¯t understand frogs?

    She immediately figured it out. Weige did it on purpose. He also noticed No. 7. This girl looked like a frog. She might have been teased in school, "You look like a frog." Which girl would be happy to be teased like this?  explain?  Maybe this is No. 7's heart knot, but now he has to play the role of a frog.

    No. 7 is more like a frog, but his performance is nothing outstanding, just no worse than others.

    Kaufman nodded slightly, satisfied with this, good girl.

    no!  As Ye Wei watched, he wrote "1.3, all-suck" on the paper. They all sucked!

    If Stone Emma minds playing the role of a frog, it means her nature has not been released enough!  Only rational people would think about the relationship between frogs and themselves.

    But what¡¯s even worse is that no one paid attention to a key message: this is no ordinary frog, this is a poison dart frog.  They didn't understand its aggressive nature, its jungle environment, and its iconic spray of venom. They just acted like a frog in the field.

    How can a jungle frog croak?  Poison dart frogs are as big as a finger.

    "The frog yawned," he added.

    No one here knows what a frog yawning looks like. The girls can only act out human yawning. Some make a croaking sound, while others are silent.

    "Okay, thank you, please stop." There are still 25 seconds left in the countdown, but Ye Wei has already shouted stop. No one in the audience understands that viy has seen enough of their poor performance

    The girls thought that the animal simulation session was over!  Everyone took a breath.

    "Do you know?" However, Ye Wei did not start the next step. He looked with sharp eyes. Every girl felt like they were being watched by him. He said seriously: "The reason why creatures yawn is because the brain is deprived of oxygen.  If you want to play yawning well, you have to understand this.¡±

    ¡°As he spoke, he acted in a demonstrative manner: ¡°Just now you just opened your mouth wide and exhaled. It looked like you were yawning, but it was very unnatural. You could tell it was an act at first glance.¡±

    ¡°In fact, you should first inhale deeply, press your chin downward and backward until your mouth is wide open, then continue to inhale into your lungs, and finally send the air up to your head and exhale the remaining air.  That¡¯s what yawning is.¡±

    After he finished speaking, he acted out a yawn again, and in the blink of an eye, he let out a long and real yawn. The faces of the ten girls were a little stunned.

    "Willpower is more important than talent. I want to tell you that in the animal simulation session just now, you were really disappointing, all of them."

    Hearing this viyWith these words, the girls' expressions suddenly changed, but his calm tone seemed to break their hearts more than the harshness. "If that's the only way, you will never be good actors." The eyes of the audience were like sharp daggers.  .  Emma Stone also blushed a little with embarrassment.

    Siebold and others had no right to speak at the moment, and Kaufman couldn't help but look at Ye Wei. Although he had the final say here, was this too strict?  In fact, No. 7 is really good, and No. 2 and No. 9 are also good.  There are only ten characters, and they may not win, but their performance is passable.

    Finn and Schiller finally understood what Ye Wei said before: "My scoring standards will be extremely strict. You can just judge according to your own standards. Give me a reference."

    With this standard, I really don¡¯t know what kind of girl and what kind of performance can get viy¡¯s applause, applause and high scores.

    "You have to think the same way. You don't even know how to act yawning well, which means you all still have huge room for improvement. As long as you work hard, no one can't perform."

    Listening to Ye Wei¡¯s gentle words and looking at his encouraging smile, the girls had mixed feelings. Among them, there was a sense of shame that they had not lived up to viy¡¯s expectations. For them to stand on this stage, but

    "Marlon Brando said, 'Most people act all day long.' Don't they? We've been acting since we were babies, and you cry just to get attention, to get something from someone else, or to escape something.  Things, pretending to be in a certain state, that¡¯s acting.¡±

    Ye Wei paused, glanced at them, and said with a smile: "So this thing is not difficult, you can all become excellent actors. Now continue!"

    ¡­¡­

    At 9:30 am, the girls of Group 8 came on stage.

    There are two people in this group who have already been noticed by the judges and everyone, Maudie Symington and Shailene Woodley.

    Everyone in the audience knew who Symington was, but they really didn¡¯t know anything about her acting ability.

    Not everyone knows Woodley. The 14-year-old is a child star active on the screen. She has appeared in several episodes of "D.C.", "Orange Boys" and other series, and has also appeared in many movies.  TV movies, such as "Little Beauty" starring last year.

    Speaking of which, Woodley has been a member of Ye Wei's circle for a long time. "Little Princess" is the sister work of "Samantha" and was jointly produced by Julia Roberts, her sister Lisa Roberts-Gillian and others.  Movies from movie studios.

    ? Insiders in the casting team know that as long as the two perform well, they have a high chance of winning the role.

    At this time, in the eyes of everyone, a group of ten girls walked out from the left side of the stage.

    Seeing Modi, Siobold immediately became energetic. Modi was wearing a set of blue and white casual clothes and looked extremely pure.  At this time, her face was red, and her sky-blue eyes were wandering, not daring to look into the audience. This made Sibord a little worried about her condition. Viy hadn't said anything good today

    And Xie Lin next to her looked elegant and generous, smiling at everyone, like a little fox.

    "Hello, welcome, and good luck! Now please play the fox." Ye Wei said to the girls.

    fox!  Cunning, smart and lively.

    ¡­¡­

    At 10:20 am, the 12th group of girls came on stage.

    This group is almost all newcomers, except for one, Emma Roberts.  She is petite and stands in the middle, but she looks very tall. There are many types of girls on both sides, but she is the only one who is sunny and sweet.

    Roberts Jr. is the first star girl to appear in the draft. She has a much bigger background than Woodley before her. With her in the same group, the other nine girls are feeling the pressure.

    Bethenny was looking at Emma with interest. Viy had said before that Emma was suitable to play her, and she looked good. It didn¡¯t matter if she was a little small. She liked Emma¡¯s sweetness and confidence.

    Emma has reason to feel confident. She has an extraordinary family background, grew up on a set, has rich film and television acting experience, and has half a month of hard training!

    At this time, everyone heard Ye Wei say: "Hello, welcome, good luck! Please perform koala."

    koala!  Cute, silly, and winking.

    ¡­¡­

    At 12:00 noon, the 21st group of girls appeared on the stage.

    This may be the most special group among the 120 groups, because there are 11 people, and the numbers are not 200-210. The extra person is 1201.  Everything about her is different. The girls all dress fashionably, but 1201 seems to have traveled through time and space from the 1970s and 1980s.

    From the moment 1201 came on the stage, Siebold blushed, unbelievable!  It's like the figure you imagined became completely clear, right in front of you.

    I saw Susie!

    Her demeanor, her clothes

    ?Sibod became nervous and quickly looked at Ye Wei over there, wanting to tell him what he thought, Mody, 1201!

    The three judges have also been amazed by Elizabeth Olsen. The appearance of the Olsen sister is really good, better than her two sisters.

    Kaufman wrote "95" on the 1201 appearance score on the score sheet. In fact, the 5 points were left out just to be more objective. She didn't know what viy thought. This was the highest appearance score she had given so far.  In terms of appearance, it is indeed feasible for 1201 to play Susie, Bethany, Alana, Ruth, and Clarissa.

    Agents are also impressed, but Liz Olsen is not a newcomer. Her biggest agent is herself. No one can persuade her to star in film and television, except Ye Wei.

    "Hello, welcome, and good luck!" Ye Wei said the opening words, and marked the appearance score on the score sheet with his hand. No one knew what it was.

    The girls listened to him and said: "Now please play the flamingo."

    Flamingos!  Red, flying, long neck.

    ¡­¡­

    This evening at 18:20, the 48th group of girls appeared.

    ?????????????????????? Then, all ten girls were silent. Ye Wei¡¯s eyes over there showed a fierce light, and he seemed to be very angry at the person who said ¡°Unique-Cola¡±, maybe it offended him.

    ¡°Everyone can¡¯t figure out what he¡¯s thinking, and no one can figure it out today.

    "Who said that? Stand up." Ye Wei said again, with a darker tone.

    At this time, the girl on the far right who looked to be 15 or 16 years old with long brown hair took a step forward. The smile on her face was a little uneasy and stiff, "I, Jennifer Lawrence."

    The judges all looked at the resume information of the group on the table and had no impression of this girl No. 479.

    Kaufman only found out the situation after reading his resume. He was a newcomer with no film and television acting experience, not even a student short film, a complete zero.  There is nothing special in other aspects, and her appearance is ordinary, a very ordinary Kentucky farm girl.

    Ye Wei's eyes immediately focused on her, and he seemed to take a few glances, and asked: "Do you always talk to boys like this? Do you call others like a bottle of Coke?"

    The girl's expression became even more uneasy, and she grinned, "I'm sorry I just wanted to be humorous."

    "Me too, hahaha!" Ye Wei suddenly laughed out loud, and everyone chuckled relaxedly. The girls were stunned, and the girl also laughed, but she was somewhat in agreement.  Ye Wei smiled and said: "Unique-Cola is much cooler than Unique-Kule. I knew it should be called this."

    "Really" The girl laughed, not daring to joke anymore, her eyes sparkling with confidence.

    "Okay, girls, let's start the animal simulation. I really want to see how Jenny performs." Ye Wei pointed at his eyes with two fingers of his left hand and crossed his fingers towards the girl on the stage, "I'm staring at you."

    The girls were envious and murmured, not knowing whether this was a good thing or a bad thing; the girl's smile grew wider, and she could no longer hide her excitement.

    "Please play the role of a wolf."

    Wolf!  Stubborn, smart, and unyielding.
