Chapter 107
At the same time, casting has already begun on the set.
In the audition room, actors are being selected to play the adult Murphy.
The audition clip is the first time Murphy sent him a video after Cooper left.
The scene in which this video appears in the movie is when Cooper comes back from the first planet and finds that 23 years have passed on Earth. He opens the video sent from Earth and finds that his daughter has grown up.
An actress in her thirties, Xi Jie, sat in front of the camera and smiled at the directors.
Seven or eight meters away, Chen Xiao, Huang Han, Fang Rong and others sat in front of the monitor, staring at the screen.
Huang Han:"OK, start."
Several directors stared at the screen.
On the screen
""Hi, Dad."
Murphy (Xi Jie) stared at the screen and smiled slightly. The smile was a little bitter and a little aggrieved.
She had tears in her eyes, complaining, but more of it was missing him.
"You bastard."
After saying that, she stared at the camera for a second, looked away, and sniffed lightly.
"I never spoke to you when you had news. Because I was still angry, angry that you left.
She looked back at the camera, and the smile on her lips gradually disappeared.
"Then……"
She lowered her eyes,"Then there was no news from you."
Murphy looked frustrated and helpless.
"It seems like I deserved it. I haven't heard from you and I've been living like this until today."
She paused, slowly looked towards the camera, and forced a smile again.
"But today is my birthday. This birthday is special because you said……"
She sighed softly and looked towards the camera, her eyes filled with hope and fear.
"You once said that when you come back, we might be the same age"
"Today, I am the age you left me"
"So now is the time for you to come back."
Murphy could no longer control her tone and choked up.
Her voice was filled with expectation, reproach, longing, and helplessness.
She raised her hand to wipe away her tears, forced a smile, and raised her hand to touch the camera.
The audition clip ended here.
Huang Peng said,"Okay, thank you. Next one, please."
Xi Jie bowed and left the audition room.
Chen Xiao looked at the others and made a few simple comments,"This teacher Xi acted very well, and the details and expressions were handled very well. From smiling to gradually losing control. It is considered the best at present." Others agreed.
At this moment, the assistant casting director came in and said to Chen Xiao and others,"Sorry, teachers, the next one has not arrived yet."
Chen Xiao frowned slightly and asked,"Who? What's wrong?"
The little assistant put a tablet in front of Chen Xiao,"Director Chen, it's Shen Xuan, she was stuck in traffic."
Chen Xiao looked down.
On the screen was a screenshot of the navigation software.
The front of the car icon was dark red, indicating a serious traffic jam.
Fang Rong held a straw in his mouth, glanced at the picture, and complained:
"Ha, you come for an audition and you even walk the red carpet."
There was a burst of low laughter around.
Chen Xiao couldn't help but laugh. He looked at Fang Rong and Huang Peng,"Two directors, what do you think of this person?"
Huang Peng had a complicated expression and seemed to be hesitant to speak. He looked at Fang Rong.
Fang Rong also frowned,"Well, I think the one just now is pretty good."
After he said that, Chen Xiao roughly understood.
Anyway, she is not as good as Xi Jie.
Chen Xiao looked at the assistant casting director,"Please invite the next actor. As for her, she can come if she can before the casting of adult Murphy is over. If she can't come, she will be eliminated directly."
""Okay."
Soon, in a nanny car three kilometers away,
Shen Man was so anxious that she swiped the screen back and forth.
Shen Xuan took a mirror and carefully looked at her makeup, saying,"Sister, why are you in such a hurry? If it's late, just let them wait a while."
Shen Man glared at her. Too lazy to talk to her stupid sister, she turned off the screen of her mobile phone, leaned back in the chair and closed her eyes to rest.
She found an old senior and trained Shen Xuan for four days according to the role script. She was determined to get this role.
If she was eliminated because of being late, she would have no place to cry.
Half an hour later, they finally arrived at the set.
Shen Xuan got out of the car slowly.
She was a top star, and she immediately attracted the attention of reporters around her when she appeared.
"It’s Shen Xuan!"
"Oh my god! She's here too!"
"Teacher Shen, what role are you auditioning for? Do you know who your opponents are?"
"Teacher Shen……"
Shen Xuan smiled at them and walked into the studio without saying much.
It wasn't that she didn't want to say hello.
It was that her sister repeatedly told her that talking too much would lead to mistakes, so she usually didn't talk to reporters.
When she arrived at the audition room, her agent Shen Man immediately asked the staff and learned that the last adult Murphy candidate was auditioning, and she breathed a sigh of relief.
"Caught up, great!"
……
Ten minutes later, all the adult Murphy actors, including Shen Xuan, finished their auditions.
In the audition room, several directors were discussing.
Chen Xiao pointed to the list and said,"Shen Xuan performed the best, followed by Xi Jie. The difference between the two is not much. After Ku Heng's casting is confirmed, let's see the interactive chemistry."
Casting not only takes into account individual performance, but also the matching with other actors.
Huang Peng nodded.
Fang Rong looked at Shen Xuan's name, hesitant to speak, hesitated for a while and said,"Director Chen, take a break, I have something to tell you." Chen Xiao closed the actor information sheet and said loudly,"Take a 10-minute break. In 10 minutes, we will start selecting the next role."
The two walked out the door and walked towards the director's lounge together.
After just a few steps, Fang Rong was about to speak.
Chen Xiao heard a familiar voice coming from the actor's lounge.
Turning his head, he saw Shen Xuan, who had just auditioned, sitting cross-legged on the sofa, fiddling with the small mirror in his hand, and bossing the assistant casting director around.
"Go buy me some oranges, I want seedless tangerines. I saw they were on sale at a nearby mall when I came here just now. Arrange someone to buy some!"
The assistant lowered her head,"Sister Xuanxuan, I, I'll go ask Director Chen."
Shen Xuan rolled her eyes.
"Hey, we are from the same company, why are you asking Chen Xiao? I can get whatever I want in any crew. Why do you have to be special? How can you be so arrogant at such a young age?"
The assistant lowered his head even more,"The main thing is, no one else bought it either.……"
Shen Xuan threw the mirror onto the sofa and pointed at the assistant and yelled:
"You made me wait here, I need to eat it in half an hour! Go quickly! Otherwise, I will tell your boss and fire you!"
Hearing this, Chen Xiao pushed the door open and walked in, looking down at Shen Xuan and said coldly:"Teacher Shen is so anxious, right? Then you go."
Shen Xuan smiled and looked at the assistant,"Did you hear that? Director Chen asked you to buy it quickly."
Chen Xiao laughed directly.
Is this lady stupid?
He sneered,"I'm talking about you, Teacher Shen, you are eliminated, no need to wait, go home and eat oranges."
