Best Movie Star

(Ask for a recommendation ticket! Ask for all kinds of support!)

Before nine o'clock in the morning, Matthew came to Warner Studios in Burbank as agreed. After waiting less than three minutes, Helen Herman drove over with Amanda.

After the two parked the car, the three entered the studio together. Since the audition studio was not far from the studio entrance, they didn't change to the battery car, so they walked there on foot.

"This studio is really broken..." Matthew looked around, whether the studio or other buildings were seriously aging, "Is Warner out of money? Don't renovate it."

Helen Herman did not speak, but Amanda said to Matthew, "In recent years, Warner's films have rarely been shot in Los Angeles, and most of them are in Australia. This studio is basically used by HBO."

"HBO?" Matthew felt that he had heard this name somewhere.

Amanda added, "HBO is Warner's cable network."

Matthew was hurriedly called over from the MV crew by Helen Herman. He only knew that the audition was for a heavyweight job, but the details were not clear, so he couldn't help asking, "I auditioned for a TV series that was cast by HBO. set?"

Helen Herman finally spoke up. "It was co-produced by HBO, DreamWorks and the BBC." She said as she walked, "The producers are Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg."

"Sounds good." Matthew muttered.

Even if he is ignorant, he knows companies like DreamWorks and the BBC, Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg.

Matthew asked curiously, "You told me this is a war scene? What war scene? Is it like "Saving Private Ryan"?"

He had seen "Saving Private Ryan" more than once, but he didn't know anything about American dramas about World War II, because at that time he didn't watch American dramas at all, not because he had a prejudice against American dramas, but because he liked to procrastinate the dramas he watched. The plot is really annoying.

"The type is kind of similar, about the 101st Airborne," Amanda said as she walked over to Matthew, "In 1998, during the promotion of Saving Private Ryan, a WWII veteran handed it to Tom Hanks. wrote a novel about the 101st Airborne Division. After reading it, Tom Hanks gave the book to Steven Spielberg, and the two decided to make the novel into a TV series and acted as the co-star of the TV series. Supervision."

Helen Herman turned to look at her, Amanda stuck out her tongue, "That's what the newspaper's propaganda says."

"This project is tentatively named "Band of Brothers"." Helen Herman also said a few words to Matthew, "The basic situation is similar to what Amanda said."

Matthew turned to look at Helen Herman and complained as he walked, "Miss Herman, I'm going to audition soon, and I don't even understand the situation of the crew."

"I have prepared the information for you." Helen Herman didn't seem to see Matthew, and walked straight ahead, "This audition is just for you to put on a military uniform to see if the shape is suitable for a soldier, no Other content."

Matthew shrugged, and simply shut his mouth and said nothing.

In front of a studio with a huge HBO sign hanging at the door, Helen-Hellman told the crew, and took Matthew and Amanda into the studio, followed the passage on the left, and came to in a huge waiting room.

There are many rows of seats here, and there are hundreds of actors sitting here. Matthew took a quick look around and found that these actors have one thing in common. They are all white males in their twenties and forties. .

Maybe some of them are mixed with Chinese or other blood like him, but in terms of appearance, these people are all white without exception.

Helen Herman looked at the watch, "You two wait here for a while, I'll find someone, and I'll be back in about ten minutes."

With the experience of the previous auditions, Matthew felt that it was not only the performance of the actors who decided the audition results, but also too many off-site factors. Helen Herman might be fighting for these off-site factors.

When Helen Herman left, Matthew and Amanda found an empty bench and sat down.

"Why are they all white?" he asked curiously.

"You don't know?" Amanda looked at Matthew and saw that he really didn't know, and said, "The 101st Airborne Division was originally a white army during World War II."

Matthew nodded, "I don't know much about history."

He knew very little about the history of Laomei, and he knew very little about World War II. He only knew about the Normandy landings and Roosevelt.

"Amanda, let me ask you a question." Matthew suddenly remembered something, "How old is Helen?"

"Why are you asking this?" Amanda looked at Matthew curiously, "A woman's age is a secret."

Matthew gestured and said, "Helen looks like she is in her early twenties, but she is very calm in life, as if she has a lot of social experience."

He felt that Helen Herman's social experience was no worse than his, but he didn't stay in school for a long time. He came out to work and seek a living as soon as he graduated from junior high school. Many things came from the tempering of the bottom of the society. The child who comes out is still the kind that stirs up the whole family. It may be difficult for normal people to imagine what kind of difficult life and complicated mental journey he has experienced.

Amanda didn't have complicated thoughts and asked directly, "Isn't this normal?"

"Is it normal?" Matthew said according to his own understanding, "Isn't a girl like her... from a good background all flowers in a greenhouse?"

"I can see it, you have a prejudice against people from good backgrounds." Amanda curled her lips and added, "Like the kind of people you said, there are, and there are many, but not all people from good backgrounds are That's it, and Helen's family isn't much better."

She shrugged, "Helen has been attending formal business parties with her father since she was fifteen years old, trying to participate in some business activities, especially in the Hollywood circle. In the past ten years, she has met many people, even When I was at the most stressful time in college courses, I never gave up social practice, and after graduating the year before, I stayed in CAA's mail room for more than a year."

Amanda seems to admire her cousin, "In order to start a business, Helen's dedication and hard work are beyond your imagination."

Matthew had never been in contact with the so-called elite before, and he didn’t know much about them, but he could imagine that Helen Herman could have such a broad social network, which was inseparable from her family. Amanda once revealed that Helen -Hellman's father has been struggling in Hollywood for decades. Although he is not the top big man in the circle, he has also forged a wide range of personal connections, and these can be the help of Helen Herman.

Presumably, Helen Herman's choice to develop her career in Hollywood also has something to do with the fact that this circle is easier for her.

Matthew and Amanda are still discussing Helen Herman, who has gone and returned.

She shook her head and motioned to Matthew and Amanda, "Follow me."

The two immediately followed Helen Herman out of the waiting hall and came to a styling room. Helen Herman said to a staff member at the door, "Help inform Mr. Eric Polk, Matthew- Horner is here."

He seemed to have heard Helen Herman's voice. The door of the modeling room was pulled open from the inside, revealing the face of a middle-aged man. He said to Helen Herman, "Come in."

Generally speaking, agents rarely participate in auditions directly. Helen Herman is very familiar with the other party. He greeted Matthew and walked in first.

"Eric, this is Matthew Horner, my client."

When Matthew came in, she introduced the two parties, "Matthew, this is Eric Polk, the producer of the crew."

"Hello, Mr. Polk." Matthew stretched out his hand, and Eric Polk shook it, "Hello."

Then, Eric Polk pointed to the dresser, "Let's change clothes first."

Matthew walked over to the costumer and followed him to choose the appropriate uniform for the Airborne Division.

"The shape is not bad, and it is very strong." Eric Polk seems to be satisfied with Matthew~www.readwn.com~ The face is angular, and it should be no problem to pass the first test on the casting team. "

Helen-Hellman said with a smile, "Matthew is very suitable for playing a **** role." She said specifically, "Director Ridley Scott once asked him to play the barbarian leader in the new film "Gladiator"."

"Well." Eric Polk nodded, "I will remind the casting team."

"Thank you, Eric."

The two chatted for a while, and Matthew came out after changing his military uniform. He wore a steel helmet and the combat uniform of the 101st Airborne Division during World War II. He looked burly and brave.

"It's definitely no problem." Eric Polk just glanced at it and called an assistant, "Take Mr. Horner to the audition group. I said hello to the person in charge of group B, just cut the line."

Helen Herman is not worried at all, Matthew's appearance is suitable for this type of role, and Eric Polk helps. If she can't even pass the audition-style first audition, she doesn't need to be an entertainment agent. This business is messed up.

Matthew came to the audition room, waited for the actors inside to come out, and was called in. The audition was simpler than the initial audition for the MV. Matthew introduced himself, and stood there to observe his body shape. Finally, a few shots were taken. A photo and a video, and told him to leave.

There was no specific role at all in this audition, and the casting team seemed to just see if he was suitable for the role of a soldier.

This kind of simple audition came out very quickly. When Matthew returned to the modeling studio, Helen Herman had been notified that he had passed the audition.

When Matthew changed his clothes and Helen Herman was about to leave, Eric Polk suddenly said, "You two, there are a few points that I have to explain in advance."
