Chapter 321 Two audition invitations

   "Bye!" After Helen got enough sleep, she left Ronald's apartment first and went to her mother's residence. She wanted to tell her mother the good news first.

   Instead of hastily telling Helen that she should play Supergirl, Ronald first approached Richard from CAA to inquire about the Supergirl project.

   Soon Richard's boss, Nisita, called Ronald's home.

   "I think I reminded you, Ronald. All the benefits for beautiful girls should be told to me in advance, and it is best for us to help you."

  Nisita was afraid that Ronald would arbitrarily promise the benefits of appearing in a certain actress without going through the agent, which would easily lead to problems.

   "It's not an ordinary beautiful girl, it's my girlfriend..."

   "Oh, have you reached the girlfriend stage?" Nisita loosened his tie, then tore it off and threw it on the desk. The most potential screenwriter and director under his banner was captured by a beautiful girl like this?

   "Helen, Helen Slater. You should be familiar with this name, her father is..."

   "Gerald from PBS?" Nisita snorted and sat down on the chair with a sigh of relief. He was afraid that Ronald would be fascinated by some young actor, and promised something he shouldn't.

  A client’s **** scandal is a very troublesome matter, not to mention involving a lot of resources and energy, which will make the client lose competitiveness in front of the studio.

   "Then why are you asking? Gerald will be considerate for his daughter." Nisita expressed puzzlement at Ronald's extravagant behavior.

"Her father chose an agent for her and helped her get an invitation to audition for a supporting role, but I think her appearance should be more suitable for the leading role..." Ronald said the situation again, "I'm not very clear about this The relationship inside, so I want to inquire with you, you are the most professional."

   "Of course, Ronald, you've done a good job." Nisita admired this way of thinking with the agent in advance.

   The contract situation of the Superman series of movies is relatively clear. This is something that the old people in the circle know and that Warner Bros. regrets quite a bit.

  After the Salkind and his son bought Superman for 3 million U.S. dollars, the worldwide box office sold 300 million U.S. dollars. Warner Bros. regretted selling the copyright cheaply from the first day it was released.

They used the clauses in the distribution contract to start finding fault with the Serkind father and son. The Serkind father and son are also veterans in the industry. Stuffed in all kinds of private goods of his own.

Originally, Superwoman was scheduled to appear in the third part of Superman, but after the black movie star Richard Pryor participated in the role, there was no plot space left for Superwoman, so she had to ask Superman to appear in the first part of Superman instead. Bring out the story of his cousin on Krypton.

  Producer Serkind and his son want to make the casting of Supergirl the same as the casting of Superman in the past, and become a gimmick that was preheated before the filming started, and they are starting a tour of auditions across the country.

   "Then ask me to see if there are any competitive candidates. Don't worry, I'm just helping Helen find an audition opportunity." Ronald hung up the phone.

  The effect of dreaming last night was good. It seems that tennis can indeed trigger dreams. Ronald set off to the tennis court again.

   "They sent Superman's casting director Lynn Starmaster, this is a veteran casting director, he has seen a circle of actresses in Los Angeles, and he is going to New York for the primary selection."

   Soon Nisita of CAA got more accurate news. Ronald had known for a long time that the so-called audition was not really for ordinary girls, but for girls who had acting experience.

   "I see, I'll take care of it."

   Ronald knows who to look for, Julia Taylor from the casting studio must know the casting director of Superman. Asking her to add the name of an audition is not a big problem.

   "Helen Slater? Who is her agent?" Julia really knew the casting director, and she asked Ronald to report the name of the agent, and the casting in this line must be contacted through the agent. In order to prevent various unspoken rules, the actors' union has made special regulations on this.

   After thinking about it, Ronald called Helen and asked her to report the name of the agent her mother had found for her.

   "Really? Can you get them to audition for Superwoman for me?" Helen was really happy.

   "Don't get too excited, it's just an audition opportunity." Ronald replied on the phone.

   "Yeah, Mom, Ronald found me an audition for Supergirl." Helen turned around and told her mother about getting the audition.

"It's a good thing." Helen's mother asked her daughter about the ins and outs of the audition role, and after Helen went out, she called her ex-husband, "You did it, right? I smelled you from Helen's story, don't interfere Daughter's freedom, if she wants to be a superwoman, let her be."

   "What do you know about the showbiz?" Gerald was a little anxious, "How did she get the audition for Supergirl? I asked the agent to change to the supporting role Lucy Lane."

   "Her boyfriend found her."

  Gerald immediately hung up the phone and called Ronald.

   "Ronald, come to my office immediately! Immediately!"

   Ronald, who received the call, knew he had guessed right. He didn't neglect, and rushed to Gerald's office immediately.

   "Why did you give Helen an audition for Supergirl?" Gerald asked immediately.

   "Because I think she is more suitable for Superwoman, not the supporting role." Ronald replied.

   "I thought you were a mature director, so I acquiesced that you dated my daughter." Gerald pointed to Ronald's head and said:

"Where did your common sense go? Helen is just a high school student in a deduction school. Supergirl uses Superman's configuration. The supporting roles are all old actors. Their goals are Jane Fonda and Dolly Parton. Helen is in their If you can't get on with the show, you will be criticized by the critics."

   Ronald suddenly realized, no wonder Gerrard found a supporting role for Helen. Playing a supporting role in a big production is an easy step to step into the Hollywood show business circle. With exposure, there is no trouble of being judged by film critics in the center.

  But Ronald also has his own considerations, "Mr. Slater, of course you are right. But the Superman series of movies is different."

   "Oh?" Seeing that Ronald came quickly, Gerald calmed down a little. After all, he was contributing to his daughter's acting career.

  "Many of Superman's audiences go to watch the flying stunts, and acting skills are not that important. Christopher Reeve didn't have any filming experience before playing Superman, which doesn't prevent him from becoming a star."

   "Besides, even if Helen's acting skills are not good, it's still too early to leave the filming. If she is selected, it's not too late to find a suitable acting teacher for her."

  Gerald took a bottle of brandy from a drawer and poured himself and Ronald a glass.

   "You're still naive, Reeve is Katharine Hepburn's darling, she recommends Reeve to become Superman." He took two sips of wine while talking.

  Ronald accidentally heard a big gossip. The age difference between these two people must be more than forty years. "Are they the kind of relationship between grandma and grandson?"

Gerald ignored Ronald's question, but glanced at Ronald, "But what you said is also reasonable. Poor acting skills can be remedied. You can tell Helen to audition for Supergirl, and I agree. "

   "Helen, tell me, do you really want to act in this movie?" Gerald called his daughter after Ronald left.

   "Of course, being an actor is my dream."

   "Okay then, you can try it."

   "Oh, I'm so happy. Ronnie, thank you." Helen was overjoyed when she heard that her father had agreed to audition, and hurried to tell Ronald the good news.

   "No wonder the agent he chose asked me to audition for the supporting role of Lucy Lane." Helen kissed Ronald, reacted, and then laughed.

   "What should I do to prepare, Ronnie?"

   "Just be yourself, the casting of movies is not so particular."

  Helen didn't listen to Ronald, picked up the Supergirl comics she bought and began to study them.

   "For the people of the earth, you wake up."

  The superwoman in the comics, after arriving on the earth, found that Superman had forgotten her identity and lost her superpowers. She used various methods to wake up Superman, and finally found herself.

  Helen tied a red hair band on her head, and then read lines from the comics to Ronald.

  Straight-faced, very typical American high school students learned the drama accent in the drama club.

   "Oh..." Ronald covered his eyes with his hands, which is not a good way to audition for a movie role.

   "What's wrong? Did I say my lines badly?"

"No, what you said is okay." Ronald felt that he had to explain to her, "The audition for the movie is mainly to see if your appearance is suitable for the role, and the shooting of the movie has close-ups, close-ups, those on the stage of the theater. The line method is often unnecessary in movies."

   "Oh, is that so? But my acting teacher said that lines are the key to expressing a character's character." Helen was a little puzzled. If Ronnie hadn't directed a blockbuster film, she wouldn't have believed it.

  That's true, but...

  Ronald pointed to the TV opposite and said, "Think of the TV as a drama stage with actors performing in it."

"If the actors speak in a normal way, the audience in the back row may not be able to hear clearly. And they are far away, and they cannot see the facial expressions of the actors on the stage. This is why students who study drama must first Practice body. Body can be heard even sitting in the last row of the theater.

   "Then let's see it as a TV," Ronald said, and turned on the TV, and it was the rebroadcast of the TV series "Big Family".

"Television, like movies, can use lenses with different focal lengths to capture the facial expressions of the actors," Ronald said to Helen, pointing to the characters on the TV, "There are also simultaneous recordings to capture the voices of the actors speaking, so that the audience can appreciate This is a more life-like performance."

   "But there are also many actors in the movie who act with Shakespeare accents? For example, Lawrence Oliver from England."

  This involves the issue of different performance genres, and Ronald himself didn't know it too well.

   "You may be right, but when auditioning, you must first see whether your appearance meets the requirements of the role."

   "Then should I dye my hair blonde?" Helen thought suddenly.

   "Don't worry, Linda Lee, who is Supergirl's earth identity, also has dark brown hair. Wait until you choose..."

  Seeing Helen's big eyes looking at himself, full of longing for the audition, Ronald turned to say, "Buy a blond wig and try it on first, and then we'll talk about what kind of blond hair they want to dye."

   "Okay, I'll listen to you."
