Chapter 463 Talented Actor
Greta's attitude did not stir up much emotion on Brandon's melancholy face. He neatly arranged the script outline in his hand and showed a restrained smile, "Well, I think the audition can start now."
His tone and the expression on his face were almost opposite. This abnormal sense of disconnection caused Greta to subconsciously look at him again: If she guessed correctly, Emerson had already started to get into the role at this time.
Brandon Emerson, a Hollywood newcomer with almost no acting experience, would not dare to talk to anyone in such an arrogant tone.
Soon, with the help of Kelly and assistant director Lucy, the audition venue was completely cleared, and Su Lingxi and Brandon each stood in their respective positions: Su Lingxi stood at the door of the room, a little away from Brandon who was leaning against the desk in the middle of the room; Kelly, who was playing the role of the hospital receptionist, stood side by side with Su Lingxi.
Greta carefully adjusted the angle of the camera and called out steadily, "Action."
"Dr. Luther, Mrs. White is here." Kelly recited the lines seriously according to the script, "She is the lady that Dr. Watkins wrote to you about."
"Okay, let her in."
Kelly took a step forward and gestured to push the door open.
Su Lingxi followed behind her, with her fingers hanging in front of her legs, twisting them tighter and tighter - at this moment she was stepping into an unknown and unfamiliar area, trying to change the chaotic status quo through medical intervention. This realization made her nervous, uneasy, and inexplicably embarrassed - Paul said that she had a mental illness and that she almost strangled their Sophia with her own hands!
Oh, of course that was impossible. Sophia was her most beloved little angel. How could she want to strangle her?
But Paul said...
Thinking of her husband, she hesitated for a second, then she remembered the red finger marks on Sophia's neck and lowered her head even more.
Although she chose to seek help from a psychiatrist, she still felt ashamed of it in her heart - even though she was Mrs. White, who was looked down upon by everyone on the Upper West Side, the words "mental illness" were not allowed to occur to her - at least her husband, Paul White, would never allow such a scandal to happen in the family.
"Hello, Mrs. White."
The door opened, and a young doctor happened to look up - he was not wearing the white uniform that frightened her. His slender figure was wrapped in a well-tailored suit, his long hair was slightly curly, his body was upright, and his deep black eyes were observing her without blinking.
The look in his eyes, the way he stood, and his mysterious black pupils... She didn't know how to describe the feeling, but she instinctively felt uncomfortable.
"Hello, Dr. Luther."
"Come in and sit here, please."
The young expert tugged at his tie and gentlemanly pulled out the chair for her.
Eve glanced at him quickly, nodded, and sat down carefully - judging from her stiff sitting posture and clenched fingers, she was obviously extremely nervous.
But this tension did not bind her hands and feet like shackles.
After about half a minute of silence, Eve mustered up the courage to speak.
"Did Dr. Watkins... mention me in his letter to you?"
Luther raised his head and shifted his gaze from the letter to her face.
He still looked at her with a smile on his face - but for some reason, there was something more in his smile.
“Cut,” Greta said. “I think this is very well done.”
"I should have taken bigger steps." Brandon had now returned to his original shy boy image, nervously and shyly watching the playback of his performance, "Otherwise the picture would have looked very cramped."
Greta shook her head. "This scene will probably be shot in a studio. I will communicate with you in advance about the direction of the movement line. It will be fine if you practice a few times before shooting."
Compared with small matters like positioning and movement lines, Greta pays more attention to whether the actor's acting skills and temperament match the role.
The rivalry scene just now solved the problem she was worried about perfectly: Brandon Emerson's temperament after entering the role was very consistent with Dr. Luther, and his rivalry was even more eye-catching, and she could even feel that he and Nicole were equally powerful in this scene - of course, his acting skills were not as superb as Nicole's, but he had a natural temperament, and his every move was free and easy, and he had fully grasped the style of a social elite who was unrivaled.
Su Lingxi understood the meaning of her words, turned her head to look at Brandon, and smiled more brightly, "If I'm not mistaken, Mr. Emerson may be able to get this performance contract soon."
Brandon's lips curled up happily, and his cheeks flushed slightly. "Thank you, I will definitely try my best to complete the role well."
As he spoke, he shook Su Lingxi's hand politely before letting go.
Su Lingxi looked at his face which was almost flushed and couldn't help but smile: It was hard to associate his current appearance with the strong and mysterious black-haired man just now.
This is probably the typical appearance of a talented actor - he can enter and exit a role quickly, and once he gets into the performance state, he becomes a different person.
Su Lingxi and Olivia Emerson are not very familiar with each other, but after all, they are both in Hollywood and they meet each other quite often.
Olivia's acting skills must be good since she was chosen by Martin Kubrick to play the second female lead when she was a newcomer.
I just don't know if acting skills have anything to do with genetics.
Su Lingxi thought about it randomly and felt inexplicably excited - although the schedule was very tight for the whole day, she finally decided on the male lead before the filming started, which was enough to make her tiredness disappear.
"The official contract signing will have to wait until tomorrow. If you have any requests regarding pay, food, clothing, housing, and transportation, your agent can come and talk to Lucy directly." Greta's expression was much softer than before. As a director, she would inevitably be more tolerant towards good actors. "Now, you can go. Remember to keep in shape during this week. This is the most important thing."
After seeing Brandon off, Greta returned to the living room and sat opposite Su Lingxi. She picked up the script and said excitedly, "Nicole, while it's still early, I want to talk to you about the details of the script revision..."
