Chapter 281 292 [The director is so happy, Nicole is being ridden on the face]
Nicole Kidman walked out of the interview room without any loss or unhappiness on her face. Instead, the corners of her mouth were slightly raised, giving people a sense of certainty of victory.
This scene also made the surrounding female stars alert.
Could it be that this woman has already been offered a role?
Cindy Crawford, who has always been full of confidence, is also worried at this moment.
Although Director Li specifically asked her to receive dance training and invited her to audition for the second female lead a month ago, it would not count as long as she had not signed the contract.
Seeing her friend like this, Naomi Watts hurried over excitedly and said, “Nicole, did you succeed?”
“Hmm, I guess.”
Nicole shrugged her shoulders, looking relaxed: “You know, I have been learning ballet since I was a child, and I am determined to win the leading female role!”
“That’s right, you’ve been practicing ballet for so many years, you’ll definitely succeed!”
After Naomi Watts praised Nicole, she was so excited that she asked nervously, “Nicole, what about me…”
Hearing this, Nicole frowned, but soon relaxed and said with a smile: “Nawo, I have told the director that you don’t have to worry about the red sofa, but you have to show your strength so that the director can make a fair choice.”
“Thank you so much Nicole!”
Naomi was very excited. She didn’t expect Nicole to be so capable that the director could give her a break, remove the red sofa, and show her real talent.
You have to know that in Hollywood you can’t get a role and make a name for yourself just because you have real talent. First you have to sit on the red couch, and then you’ll be qualified to audition.
If your performance is acceptable, then the rest will be much easier and you can basically just book a room and the deal will be done.
“You’re welcome Nawo, we are good sisters.”
Nicole’s lips curled up, she really enjoyed the feeling of being praised, especially by Nawo, whom she met in Australia. Because in her opinion, the flattery from strangers could never be as satisfying as that from former schoolmates and best friends.
“Next, Cindy Crawford!”
As the staff calls out the next interviewee.
The female stars at the scene, including Nicole, looked at Cindy Crawford, most of them showing playful expressions.
A model, even a so-called supermodel, is not worth mentioning compared to a female star. This is mainly because of the existence of the chain of contempt.
Even though she is just an unknown little actress, she can still be extremely confident during the audition with Cindy, one of the top five supermodels in the United States today.
This is just like when 18th-tier actresses later on, when facing multi-million-dollar female internet celebrities, they would always act superior, simply because no matter how 18th-tier they are, they are still actresses, not internet celebrities.
Cindy Crawford stood up expressionlessly, stepped on her high heels and walked into the room with a cat-like gait, ignoring everyone’s disdainful, playful and contemptuous looks.
Naomi exclaimed: “She is indeed a supermodel, she has a great figure.”
“A good actor doesn’t rely on appearance to win.”
After Nicole said this, Naomi’s mouth couldn’t help but twitch again.
If someone else said this, there would be no problem at all, but it was Nicole. I really don’t know what qualifications she has to say this.
Inside the room, Li Yishu looked at Cindy Crawford and had to admit that there was a reason why this woman could become one of the top five supermodels. At least in terms of figure and appearance, she was indeed very good.
It’s not a delicate, but it can be called a pretty face, and the impressive figure and a pair of long legs, coupled with the temperament acquired from years of model training, are indeed very attractive.
After entering, Cindy Crawford noticed that there was no red sofa in the room, but she didn’t care. Instead, she greeted Li Yishu with a smile: “Hello, director, I’m Cindy Crawford. I like your movie “The Sixth Sense”. I have watched it no less than three times!”
“Thank you for your love.” Li Yishu smiled politely and extended her hand, saying, “Cindy, time is tight, I would like to ask you to show me your dance.”
“no problem.”
Cindy Crawford nodded, immediately took off her coat, revealing her dance dress underneath, and put on her high heels, performing the dance she had practiced for a long time.
She specifically learned this dance from actors in the Broadway musical “Chicago”. Knowing about the movie in advance, Cindy Crawford must have sought out more information from others and even specifically learned the relevant dance moves.
The dance performance was neither good nor bad. Lee Yi-su is not a professional so it’s hard to tell whether it was good or not, but it was definitely attractive.
The story of “Chicago” itself is set in the United States in the 20s, and after being adapted into a musical, it is also filled with a lot of sexual temptations.
It’s a bit similar to the performance style of tap dance in Shanghai during the Republic of China, but with a little more plot.
Cindy Crawford came prepared today. She wore a bright-colored dress with a high slit, paired with long brown and black wavy hair, red lips, and a faint black mole at the corner of her mouth, all of which gave people a visual impact.
Harvey’s mouth was almost drooling at this moment.
He finally understood why Lee Yi-su chose Cindy Crawford. It was probably not just as simple as the evil Richard Gere.
“OK Cindy, you danced great.”
Li Yishu interrupted the other party and said with a smile: “Someone will contact you within three days, keep your phone open.”
“Huchi! Huchi!”
After stopping the dance, Cindy panted slightly and said with a happy face: “Don’t worry, Li, my phone is open for you 24 hours a day.”
Putting on her coat, Cindy left with a smile on her face. She was now sure that she would be able to get the second female lead in the interview.
Looking at the other person’s departing back, Li Yishu sighed that being a director is really fun.
“She looks like she got through?”
Watching Cindy Crawford leaving, Naomi couldn’t help but frown and felt a little more nervous.
Nicole said with disdain: “Impossible, she must be pretending to be like this on purpose to avoid embarrassment. Believe me, Nawo, when she gets outside, she will cry immediately, sad and upset.”
really?
Thinking back to Cindy’s expression, Naomi didn’t think a model could act out an expression of joy so realistically.
But no matter what, Naomi hopes that the other party will not pass, because she came here to interview for the second female role.
Of course, if I can’t get the second female lead, then I have to do the same as Nicole said, and at least get a well-known female supporting role.
As a frequent guest at the three major European film festivals, Art Li will definitely send this musical titled “Chicago” to Europe for exhibition.
As long as she went to Europe to attend the film festival and won some awards, even if it was just a small supporting role, it would bring unimaginable benefits to Naomi.
Not to mention adding something to her resume, at least it gave her a role she could show off.
“Catherine Zeta is next.”
“The next Sharon Stone.”
“The next Demi Moore.”
“…”
As the auditioning actresses walked in one by one, some were happy, some were calm, some were sad, and some were unwilling… all kinds of life, joys, sorrows, anger and happiness were perfectly reflected in this group of people.
“Naomi Watts is next… Is Naomi Watts here!”
As the staff called out, Naomi quickly stood up and said, “Here, I’m Naomi Watts!”
“Okay, you’re the last one, go in.”
The staff member glanced at her and pointed to the room.
“Ok!”
Naomi took a deep breath and said to Nicole beside her: “I’m going in Nicole.”
Nicole smiled brightly: “Well, don’t worry, just perform well. I’ve already told the director.”
“Thank you Nicole.”
Naomi said gratefully, then she straightened her clothes and walked into the room.
inside the house.
Li Yishu looked at the woman who walked in with interest: “Naomi Watts, from your information, it seems that you have no experience in dance training?”
Naomi Watts was just happy that there was no red sofa in the room, but after hearing what Li Yishu said, her face immediately changed and she hesitantly explained:
“Yes, yes. I didn’t learn dancing when I was young, but I have been practicing yoga. I am very flexible. I also taught myself Latin dance. I am also very good at modern dance.”
Seeing the other person suddenly turn pale and stammer in a pitiful manner, Li Yishu couldn’t help but think of his outstanding performance in the movie “King Kong”.
When he first filmed “King Kong”, in addition to the shocking and realistic special effects, the most eye-catching thing was the heroine Annie played by Naomi Watts.
After being caught by King Kong and overcoming the initial fear, “Annie”‘s funny dance to please King Kong, including the unknown dance she later performed while standing on King Kong’s palm, were all very impressive.
Thinking of this, Li Yishu looked down at her information. She was born in 1968. “King Kong” seemed to be in 04 or 05?
Hiss, you would have been thirty-seven or thirty-eight years old by then?
When Naomi was feeling uneasy and thought the director didn’t want her to perform, she heard the director ask, “You said you’ve learned modern dance?”
“Yes, yes!” Naomi seemed to have grabbed a life-saving straw and nodded repeatedly to confirm that she could dance modern dance.
“Burlesque?”
“Slide… burlesque dance?”
“Well, if you can, perform a scene.”
Naomi swallowed, her mind trying desperately to recall the burlesque dance.
This dance was popular in the United States in the 19s. It was one of the stage performance forms at the time. It can be simply understood as a funny juggling show, but it was done in the form of dance to make people laugh.
However, this kind of dance basically disappeared in the 60s. Naomi didn’t understand it at all, but she knew what burlesque dance was.
Although she had never seen it before, she jumped up tentatively in order not to waste the opportunity.
But if you haven’t even seen it, you naturally won’t be able to dance well.
Harvey had no interest in Naomi’s awkward movements and unfunny dance. Just as he was about to interrupt, Li Yishu smiled and said, “You dance very well. Someone will notify you within three days.”
“Huh? X2”
Two “ahs”, one for Naomi and one for Harvey.
The former is not sure whether he has passed or not, and is more inclined to fail. After all, Naomi knows best how her performance was.
Harvey was surprised by the latter, because during the audition process, he discovered a pattern: for any actor she liked, Lee Yi-su would say “someone will notify you”, but for those she didn’t like, she would say “we will notify you”.
“Okay, okay.”
Naomi forced a smile and thanked him politely. When she turned to leave, she heard a voice behind her: “Wait at home for three days.”
Ok? !
Naomi’s eyes lit up. Wait at home for three days? She turned around suddenly and saw Li Yishu staring at her with a smile on her face.
At this moment, Naomi was very excited. Did she pass?
“Thank you, director. Thank you, director.”
“Okay, you should get out now. Today’s interview is over.”
“Okay okay.”
Naomi nodded repeatedly, clenched her fists and walked out of the room. When she saw Nicole at the door, she immediately rushed over to her: “Thank you, thank you Nicole.”
Nicole Kidman was confused, but seeing how excited she was, she thought it was because there was no red sofa, so she smiled and patted her on the back: “Okay, okay, I told you not to worry. Let’s go, I’ll treat you to dinner.”
“No, no, no, I’ll treat you to a meal. I’ll treat you to a meal.”
Although she had little money left in her pocket, Naomi Watts decided to treat Nicole to a good meal just to thank her for speaking up for her.
“Lee, I don’t understand. You didn’t choose Nicole, you didn’t choose Katherine, and you didn’t choose Demi… Why did you choose such a Hollywood newcomer? According to her profile, she has only starred in a few unknown films in Australia!”
Harvey looked at Li Yishu with a puzzled look on his face. He didn’t understand why the other party chose this Australian woman, Naomi Watts.
Lee Ye-seo smiled and said, “She has a better image.”
“Image? Nicole is prettier than her, and more famous!”
“Nicole is really good, but she’s overpaid.”
“Okay, Nicole’s salary is indeed a bit high, but what about Sharon Stone? Her movie Basic Instinct is a global hit. If she were to star in this musical, I’m sure there would be a lot of men who would come to watch her dance.”
“Sharon Stone is good, but I don’t really like her style. Our movie is not a pornographic one, so there’s no need to spread legs.”
In fact, Sharon Stone is quite suitable for the role. She is a blonde beauty who became a sexy goddess in Hollywood because of the worldwide hit “Basic Instinct”. Her role in “Chicago” will definitely raise the audience’s expectations.
But if you don’t like it, you don’t like it. Li Yishu came from the future and she knows very well that Sharon Stone’s problem is the same as Richard Gere’s before. Not only are they both separatists, but they also once mocked earthquakes.
In other words, the interview list was not chosen by Li Yishu, otherwise he would not even have given them a chance to audition!
Seeing that Li Yishu approved of the Australian woman, Harvey had no choice but to nod and said, “Okay, you are the director, I respect your decision.”
The next afternoon.
Nicole received a call from the “Chicago” crew, and the staff told her, “Unfortunately…”
Nicole was upset when she heard that she was not selected, but she didn’t think much about it. After she hung up the phone, Naomi called her the next second:
“Nikki, thank you, thank you so much, I got the female lead, oh my god, it’s incredible!”
There are still two days left, please give me some monthly tickets, please everyone!!
