Chapter 237: Audition

The theater was much quieter than outside. Several people, including Director Ford, sat in the first row under the stage, auditioning every actor who came to audition in order.

"Lord of the Rings" is a work with a huge background setting, requiring all kinds of actors. As long as you have superb acting skills or characteristics, you can come and try no matter what you look like.

Of course, handsome guys are best.

Now standing on the stage is a very handsome guy. Although not as good as Gao Liang, he is more heroic.

Miss Luo Quan had seen him in the world's top 100 most handsome faces before. He was not far from Gao Liang's ranking. He is a local British actor, seemingly called Orlandino.

This handsome guy was wearing an archer's costume today, bending his bow and setting an arrow, his eyes sharp, obviously already in the play.

The several interviewers under the stage also nodded frequently, obviously very satisfied with Orlandino's performance.

After the performance, Orlandino stood on the stage, quietly waiting for the discussion of the "judges" under the stage.

Without waiting too long, Director Ford looked up and said: "The role of Legolas is yours! We will notify you of the follow-up arrangements as soon as possible!"

"Thank you all for giving me this opportunity." Orlandino bowed to thank, then excitedly went off the stage.

Taking advantage of the gap when no one was on stage, Mann led Miss Luo Quan to Director Ford: "Director Ford, Miss Luo Quan is here."

"Hello, Director Ford." Miss Luo Quan greeted with a smile.

Ford turned his head and looked over, his eyes suddenly brightened: "You are even more beautiful in person than in the photos."

"Ford, so Miss Luo Quan is the perfect girl you mentioned? Acting as the elf princess is indeed very consistent with the character setting." Beside Ford, a middle-aged man with a Mediterranean hairstyle said.

"By the way, I am the producer of the 'Lord of the Rings' series. You can call me Mr. Blaining."

"Hello, Mr. Blaining."

Because they were separated by several seats, the two saved the etiquette of shaking hands.

Director Ford continued: "Although I am very interested in you playing the role of Arwen (Elf Princess), you still have to try on the costume for the audition. After all, there are many female stars in the backstage competing for this role."

Miss Luo Quan nodded: "I know, I will do my best."

It sounds like Director Ford and the others are going to be selfless and don't intend to give her a back door.

In fact, the moment Miss Luo Quan appeared in this theater, the ownership of the role of Arwen had already lost suspense.

Although fans and media at home and abroad often complained about Miss Luo Quan's rustic dressing countless times.

But it's still that sentence, she has an invincible face, and the way to solve this trouble is very simple and rude: let professionals change Miss Luo Quan's outfit.

The clothes Arwen wore in "Lord of the Rings" were worse than those of the Elf Queen, but they were much more pleasing to the eye than Miss Luo Quan's own matching.

Moreover, although she is a silly person in life, full of village girl temperament.

But her acting skills are A-level, which is already much stronger than most graduates of professional colleges.

Moreover, she has watched this "Lord of the Rings" series countless times in her previous life, and Arwen's temperament and image have long been familiar to her. After brewing a little, she entered the play directly.

Miss Luo Quan, who had changed into her clothes and came to the front of the stage, seemed to have become a different person. Although there were no lines, that performance without objects simply made people feel like they were on the scene.

The content of the performance here is Miss Luo Quan running in the dense forest, the speed from fast to slow, and there are many movements of reaching out to peel off the leaves.

These can't be called acting explosions, but in the eyes of Director Ford and others, they feel natural and comfortable.

The role of Arwen itself doesn't need too outstanding acting skills. The proportion of looks is actually very large, and Miss Luo Quan is not only the god of looks, but her acting skills are not bad either, which has already surpassed those competitors too much.

After the performance, Director Ford nodded and smiled: "Very good, you can go back and wait for the contract."

Miss Luo Quan was naturally very happy to pass, but before that, she also had some requirements: "Director, actually I also have some small requirements for this role."

"Is it the pay?" Producer Blaining straightened up. He knew Miss Luo Quan's fame. She is a hot star worldwide. She just signed a five-year high-paying long-term contract with Chanel not long ago, and is still an all-line spokesperson who has never had one before.

So after learning that Miss Luo Quan was more likely to get the role of Arwen, he was prepared to spend a lot of money.

Fortunately, the investor of this movie is Universal, which is famous for being rich and powerful. As long as the price is not particularly outrageous, he won't even bargain.

However, Miss Luo Quan shook her head: "The pay doesn't matter. You can give it according to the actual situation. I want to say, are there many kissing scenes or plots above kissing scenes for the role of Arwen?"

Director Ford frowned slightly: "Miss Luo Quan, you know, most of the male and female leads in movies have emotional scenes, and the best way to reflect the feelings of the male and female leads is to film kissing scenes."

"So, although this movie is not a romance movie, there will definitely be kissing scenes. Of course, it is limited to kissing."

"Can you borrow a position or find a stunt double?"

This time, all the audition judges, including Director Ford, looked a bit unhappy.

One of them said: "I have been in the industry for more than ten years and have filmed no less than fifty or sixty kissing scenes. No matter how big the female star is, filming kissing scenes and bed scenes are all done in person, and even nudity scenes are!"

Miss Luo Quan explained: "I know that no matter how I explain it, it sounds like an excuse, so I won't say those excuses about national customs. I really can't film kissing scenes."

"Then for your position as the female lead, we need to consider it carefully." Director Ford said with a serious expression.

Miss Luo Quan nodded and didn't fight for too much.

Although Director Ford said he would consider it carefully, that was to save face for her in public.

After all, she is a singer star, so it's impossible to blow her down directly.

Miss Luo Quan knew that she was mostly gone. Such big directors are very professional themselves, and also hope that the actors participating in his filming are also professional.

As for kissing scenes, it's not even a question of whether it's professional or not. This is something you must face and even overcome in this line of work. There are no conditions to talk about.

And after Miss Luo Quan went down, the first sentence of the female star who came up was: "I can film any scene, no stunt double needed!"

Miss Luo Quan turned her head and smiled helplessly, walked into the dressing room, took off the costume on her body, changed into the clothes she came in, and then walked out of the theater alone.

On the open space outside the theater, Miss Luo Quan carried her backpack, raised her watch to check the time, and it had been less than twenty minutes since she went in.

It is estimated that Gao Liang, the designated protagonist, didn't get it done so quickly.

At the same time, the reporters guarding outside the theater saw Miss Luo Quan walking out and immediately surrounded her.

The recognition of the world's most beautiful face is still quite high. Basically, as long as you have seen it once, it is difficult to forget.

"Miss Luo Quan, do you have time for a short interview now?"

The one holding the microphone is still a domestic media, with the three characters "Observer" printed on the microphone in red and white.

Miss Luo Quan is quite familiar with this media. It has a lot of fans on Bilibili, and young people also love to watch their programs.

There are also some foreign media behind, all of whom are old acquaintances.

Miss Luo Quan tidied up her expression: "Of course, I have plenty of time today."

"Seeing your solemn expression when you came out just now, did you encounter any trouble during the audition?"

Miss Luo Quan shrugged and smiled: "Everything went smoothly at first, and I was almost passed, but I asked two questions, and then..." Miss Luo Quan curled her lips and made a helpless expression.

"What questions are they?"

Miss Luo Quan said softly: "I asked if there were any kissing scenes in this movie. The director said yes. Can I let a stunt double film the kissing scene? The director said no."

"Then the crew and I couldn't reach an agreement, so the director asked me to go back and wait for news. I guess it's mostly gone."

The reporter from Observer sighed: "That's really a pity. "Lord of the Rings" is the most massive movie in recent years, and all aspects of preparation are top-notch in the industry."

"There's no way, and it's not their fault. That's my own problem."

The BBC reporter also came over and asked: "Miss Luo Quan, you said that because of the dispute with the crew on whether a stunt double can be used for kissing scenes, then as an actor, can you really not accept any kissing scenes?"

Miss Luo Quan paused and then said: "First of all, I have no dispute with the crew, just asking and communicating, but it didn't succeed in the end. There was no quarrel in the whole process."

"Secondly, my profession is a singer, and acting is just a side job."

"Finally, kissing scenes are indeed unacceptable to me. At least I haven't made psychological preparations for filming kissing scenes yet."

"After all, my first kiss is still there. Wouldn't it be too much of a loss if I gave it away like this?"

Miss Luo Quan's last joke made all the reporters laugh.

Although she failed to become the female lead of "Lord of the Rings", Miss Luo Quan herself was quite open-minded. Everything must look forward.

At this time, another reporter suggested to Miss Luo Quan: "Maybe you can go to the theater next door and see. They are also auditioning for roles in "Titanic". With your conditions, even if you are not selected as the female lead, a supporting role should be enough."

This reminded Miss Luo Quan. Although she had no impression of any female characters in "Titanic" except the female lead, it's good to go in and get familiar. After all, it is one of the best films in history, and it's not that she must be the female lead.

And with her looks, no matter what she acts, she should be able to leave a deep impression on the audience, right?

Thinking of this, Miss Luo Quan immediately regained her energy: "You are right, I can go over and try."

Then Miss Luo Quan turned and walked towards the Lyttelton Theatre. The entrance of the theater was also bustling, and the entrance was also blocked by several staff members.

Having gained experience, Miss Luo Quan did not rush in directly like a hotheaded youth as before, but instead sent 8 messages to Seifert first.

In less than a minute, Seifert rushed out of the theater excitedly.

"Did you finish the audition so quickly?"

"Is it a failure with high probability?"

"What?!" Seifert looked incredulous, "Could it be that a girl more beautiful than you appeared at the audition site!"

Miss Luo Quan was crying and laughing: "Do you think this is possible?"

Seifert was puzzled: "That shouldn't be. The character setting fits your image so well, and the competitor is not more beautiful than you. Did those people in the director group get water in their brains and not let you act? No, I have to make a call and ask that bastard Blaining!"

"Don't!" Miss Luo Quan hurriedly stopped Seifert's idea of helping her operate behind the scenes, "It's my own problem. My role has kissing scenes, and the director doesn't want me to use a stunt double. Neither side wants to make concessions, so I can only change to an actor who is willing to film kissing scenes."

"If that's the case, then it's really a pity." Seifert said regretfully, "I originally said I could appreciate your big-screen first kiss. I didn't expect you to be so conservative."

Miss Luo Quan's face turned black. She thought this kid was regretting that she didn't get this role.

Seifert asked: "So you came to the "Titanic" crew, wanting to ask Director Carnason if he can accept kissing scenes and nudity stunt doubles? If so, you also want to compete for the female lead?"

Miss Luo Quan was speechless: "Do you think a director of this level can accept such unprofessional things?"

"That's true. The tempers of these directors are as big as their abilities. This Director Carnason is especially so. He is quite harsh on female stars. Just now on stage, he made two people who wanted to audition for supporting roles cry, saying: If you can't act, go back to your alma mater and practice for three years, don't insult his eyes on stage."

"Tsk tsk, this mouth, worthy of being Hollywood's number one poisonous tongue."

"Is Director Carnason so fierce?" Miss Luo Quan was surprised, "I had a chance encounter with this person on the plane before. That fat director looked quite easy to get along with."

"You'll know when you go in yourself. If you want to audition, you have to be mentally prepared. That guy has even sprayed Oscar winners on the set."

Miss Luo Quan swallowed a mouthful of saliva, feeling a bit empty.

However, she was already at the door, so she couldn't not go in.

However, before she could be mentally prepared, Seifert pushed open the door of the theater.

The two walked in, and Miss Luo Quan looked around.

Fortunately, no one noticed them because everyone's attention was all on the stage.

On the stage was a plump actress who was auditioning for Rose, the female lead of "Titanic".

The acting skills were actually pretty good, but Director Carnason watched the whole movie with a blue face.

After the actress finished performing, he couldn't wait to make a comment: "If my grandmother were ten years younger, she would probably act better than you."

"Your demeanor, your movements, none of them put in any emotion. You are simply treating the audition as work. I am very dissatisfied."

The actress's face turned pale, she hurriedly apologized, and hurriedly went off the stage.
