American fame and fortune

On Monday morning, Gray's company was extremely busy, leasing the entire first floor crew, and today they had to interview many actors for small roles.

People from the crew came to Atlanta one after another, but before producer Steve Golling came, it was Louise Meyer who had the final say.

The director Michel Gondry is a Frenchman with average qualifications and achievements, and is closer to the chief director of filming on the set.

After the morning meeting, Louise reminded the casting director: "The actor I mentioned, focus on it."

"I understand." Richard was not a newcomer and understood what was going on.

The crew has recruited staff in Atlanta, and will also recruit a group of actors for small roles, which can save a lot of labor costs.

Richard quickly went to the audition room, just turned the corner of the corridor, and found Lynn who was temporarily hired by Gray's company: "Director Richard."

The other party is also a casting director in Gray's company, and Richard gave some face: "What's the matter?"

Lynn mentioned an actor he discovered and worked with many times: "What we said a few days ago, Adam Smith, please pay more attention."

Richard nodded, and then held a meeting with his assistants.

When looking through the resume brought by his assistant, he found one thing, Adam Smith and Martin Davis auditioned for the same role.

Richard didn't think about it at all, and put Adam Smith's resume at the end.

At the same time, Martin came to Gray's Company, met Jerome at the door, and called Louise's assistant. Soon someone came over and took Jerome to discuss the use of extras on a large scale.

At this time, Robert came in through the door with his head on his head. He saw Martin at a glance, and hurried over: "Are you coming to the audition too?"

Martin asked, "Which part did you audition for?"

The two walked in, and Robert said as he walked: "For a marginal character with only two lines, I dream of having a line."

"Relax, we're not the same character," Martin said.

Robert asked, "Main character?"

Martin said, "Unless you help."

Robert touched his head: "Man, that was really an accident!"

Martin said casually, "I believe you."

When I came near the audition room, there were too many people, a row of benches was not enough, and many people were standing.

The door of an office next to it opened, and Andrew came out with the documents. He happened to see Martin, and when he saw him standing, he hurriedly greeted: "Jenny, hurry up, move out a chair. No, two."

The freckled female assistant dragged two chairs, Andrew took one, and dragged it to Martin: "Sit."

Martin quickly took the chair and said politely as before, "Thank you."

"We are friends." Andrew lowered his voice: "Thank you for the news you disclosed to me last time. I became the first male in the company to use a kettle. The boss praised me in public and recommended me to come to this crew to study."

Martin opened his mouth to say nice words, "This is about to be promoted, congratulations."

Andrew smiled: "Actually, it's the same as before. A casting assistant who is familiar with Atlanta is needed to help select extras. I mainly deal with Jerome."

Martin said: "With the experience of a $20 million crew, you will be a real casting director when you go back."

"I hope so." Andrew was about to leave.

Just as Martin and Robert sat down, someone beside them was dissatisfied: "Why don't we have a seat?"

Andrew's smiling face instantly became extremely serious: "If you don't want to stand, you can walk."

The other audition actors who wanted to talk shut up.

Andrew held up the file: "I still have something to do."

Martin said, "Go and do your work."

On the bench against the wall not far away, Adam Smith has been observing this side.

Companion Ward asked: "The one from Ma Zhen?"

"Is he that famous?" Adam Smith asked.

"Ma Zhen!" Ward's expression was slightly exaggerated: "I heard that in high-end clubs, many women are asking who he is, and want to spend a lot of money to have a fight with him on horseback."

"That idiot Kyle, originally this scene belonged to him." Adam Smith muttered, a little worried: "At this time, he auditioned for the same role as me?"

"You are the leading actor in several Gray Company films, and you were recommended by director Lynn." Ward's voice was also low: "What does he compare to you?"

Adam Smith said: "He has an unusual relationship with Kelly Gray. You saw Andrew and you are pleasing him."

Ward reminded: "Didn't Lynn say that your information is the first, such a large-scale audition for a small role, the first..."

The audition room opened at this moment, and the hallway immediately fell silent.

Adam Smith sorts out his clothes and prepares in advance.

A middle-aged female assistant came out and called: "Martin Davis."

Ward was surprised.

Everyone looked at Martin.

Robert raised his fist: "Man, come on!"

Martin fist-bumped him and strode into the audition room.

This kind of audition, of course, does not have a red sofa. With the development of Hollywood, the so-called red sofa has long been withdrawn from the audition room.

If you really want to talk about the role in private, a hotel room or something is more appropriate.

Even though it was a stage-like audition, Martin still showed 100% performance.

A very simple performance, plus a few lines.

There is no difficulty for him.

Adam Smith watched Martin go in and out, talking to the big head with a smile, not in a good mood.

He wasn't the second one to enter the audition room, the third still wasn't, the fourth and fifth weren't...

This is a Hollywood crew. The opportunity to really get in touch with Hollywood is right in front of you, but it is too far away to be touched.

When it was Adam Smith's turn, the psychological gap caused him to perform unsatisfactorily. Just by looking at the expressions of the casting director and assistants, he knew that there must be no play.

Seeing Adam Smith coming out, Ward asked, "How is it?"

Adam Smith shook his head: "Let's go."

Leaving Gray's, Adam Smith called Lynn.

Soon, Lynn called back: "It's settled right after the audition, Martin Davis." He added: "You come back in the afternoon, there is still a small role, and the role is less, I will help you fight for."

Adam Smith put away his phone and said, "Ward, you know a lot of people in Atlanta, help me get to know Martin Davis."

Ward wondered: "It's just a small role."

"It's not just this role." What Adam Smith is really worried about is other aspects: "This crew works closely with Gray's Company, you understand? I am here at Gray's Company, and I may not be as good as Martin Davis."

Gray's late-night shows are his base, and he can't go to Hollywood, and he still has a good life in Atlanta.

If the basic disk is gone, the current life will be in vain.

Cars purchased in installments, houses purchased with loans, daily credit card life, etc. will all be seriously affected.

Adam-Smith said: "Lynn revealed that director Benjamin is creating a new play for Gray's company. I thought the leading actor should be me, but now it seems a bit bad."

Ward understood: "The threat has just emerged, and you are going to press it?"

Adam Smith nodded: "At least I need to know who my potential opponent is. I don't even know who my opponent is. If I'm confused, I'll be rejected."
