  Chapter 57 Filter Conditions

   Michelle obviously had some ballet training, just posing, doing some low-difficulty spins, standing, no problem. But it was revealed in the final Arabesque pose.

  Arabesque In this pose, the dancer stands on one leg with both hands raised, and the other leg is stretched back as far as possible at a right angle. Michelle is doing the low-difficulty version, which is not very presentable. If she is asked to do the high-difficulty version on tiptoe, it will not look like a ballet dancer at all.

   It seems that this role must be chosen from those who can dance ballet who can act, not from those who can act.

   If Meg's back wasn't hurt, Hilary's role would be a good fit for her. Ronald thought.

   Send Michelle out of the audition room and call the next one by the way.

   "Drink this, Michelle, with vegetable extracts. A vegetarian diet can make your body healthy, quit alcohol, cigarettes and all addictive stuff."

   Ronald noticed that the agent who accompanied Michelle seemed to be a couple, talking about the benefits of vegetarianism.

   Seeing Ronald, Michelle showed a wry smile and started drinking the green goo.

   Ronald could only shrug his shoulders, expressing that he was helpless and could not help her.

   Hillary's audition is over. Ronald started calling Leroy the auditioned actor again.

  Leroy's character is a talented dancer from the slums. He is illiterate and accompanied his female partner to the interview. As a result, the female partner was eliminated and he stayed.

   "Patrick Swayze", another strange surname with two consonants stacked together, fortunately, I asked Margery how to pronounce it before coming out.

   "Please go to the locker room and change into practice clothes, then go in for the audition, thank you."

"Thank you."

  Patrick very polite thanks.

  Ronald noticed that his eyes were thin and manly, but his features were old.

   Sure enough, looking at the resume, it's already 27 years old. It's a little difficult to pretend to be young at this age.

   But Patrick's ballet technique is first-class, the ballet's big jump, double jump, easy to complete. According to Margery, it was professional level.

The    part of the show is also good. Unfortunately, there is already a forehead tattoo on his forehead, making it hard to believe that he is a high school student.

   Ronald took down the comments of the director and producer and asked Patrick to go back and wait for news.

   Another person who came to audition for Leroy was the American Ballet School's pillar, who was said to have been spotted by Balanchine, the director of New York City Ballet. In addition to his parents, he was accompanied by an agent and a manager, surrounded by stars.

When    called him in, his mother went in too. Ronald hurriedly stopped him. This is the rule. No matter how big the actor is, only one person can audition.

  The mother was very unhappy, and she was still pointing at Sang and scolding Huai, saying that some people with low positions, if they have a little power, they can use it immediately, and his son will be destined to become a big star. A celebrity mother cannot be denied the right to watch her son take his first steps on the Walk of Fame.

   Ronald shook his head with a wry smile, his son came from a wealthy family, I am afraid it would be difficult to play Leroy as a low-level commoner.

When    auditioned, the ballet part was successfully completed.

   But the score in the performance part was very low. This mama couldn't play a character born in the slums of Harlem at all.

  Leroy joins a gang, is illiterate, and is interested in ballet. He picks up trash in exchange for ballet class time.

   Ma Bao's performance is like a Barbie doll putting on an apron to cook, with a fake appearance everywhere.

   The temperament does not match at all.

   Sure enough, the evaluation given by director Parker was very low, and Ma Bao was completely out of action.

  This audition is really about acting, dancing, looks, and temperament. All aspects must be in line with each other.

   Next audition for the role was Montgomery. It is the actor who is professional, sensitive, has an unknown secret (base), and whose mother has a schizophrenic student role.

  Ronald began to call, and found that the actor with messy teeth in the photo yesterday was not there, 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 that you? Your teeth?" Ronald found out that he was the actor with the messy teeth. But now the teeth are neat, exactly like the two people in the original photo. No wonder he didn't recognize it.

   "Uh, you went to the dentist? Didn't you read the audition notice? We need to find an actor majoring in low self-esteem, so we chose you" Ronald pointed to his teeth. Can't help but feel sorry for him.

   "Oh my god. My agent just sent me to the dentist with false front teeth and I didn't know about it in advance."

"Please, if the director wants, I can take off the dentures and put on a cheap pair of dentures from the supermarket, so it looks right. Please, please." The boy said, clasping his hands together and making an intercession gesture . "

   "Where's your agent?"

   "He was busy with other business, and I came alone today."

   "It's okay, 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 other people. He came alone. He tried hard to be ugly for the role, and felt a little sympathetic in his heart, so he hurried to accompany him in.

   told the director Parker about orthodontics, Parker nodded and agreed to let him try it.

   However, director Parker was also very helpless about his teeth after orthodontic treatment. After orthodontic treatment, his temperament has changed greatly, he is not like Montgomery at all, and makeup is also difficult to solve.

  The profession of an actor is very strange. Sometimes, being ugly has an advantage.

   In an afternoon audition, I didn't see a single role. Producer Da Silva's face was a bit ugly, especially Michelle Pfeiffer, who he greeted, was not selected, and he went after director Parker to discuss.

   "Isn't Michelle Pfeiffer very good? Those difficult moves, we can solve them with doubles..."

   "No, she has a lot of medium shots and can't use a stand-in..."

   "Is this normal?" Ronald asked Margery.

   "It's normal. Sometimes, for a lead role, there are auditions for several months. There are also directors who cancel the project because they can't find the lead candidate in their minds."

   "So we're counting on the weekend's big audition for acting majors?"

   "Yes, there will be 1,400 students auditioning, including seniors and seniors."

  …

   On the morning of the weekend, the crew walked into the high gate of the Academy of Performing Arts.

   However, the teacher who received them did not take them directly to the auditorium, but invited all the members into the principal's conference room.

   The principal and school directors are already waiting inside.

   After the crew sat down, they didn't have time to greet each other.

   I saw the principal took out a piece of paper and began to read:

"In view of the slander and slander of the quality of our students in the script of the movie 'Hot Lunch', the school board and the New York Board of Education have decided that until the script is corrected, the Academy of Performing Arts will no longer cooperate with you in casting, nor will it be allowed in School students participate in the audition of the crew, and no longer rent the school space for filming."

problem occurs!

   I wish all readers a happy Mid-Autumn Festival
