Chapter 238: Pity
"It's really strict, and the words don't leave any room for affection." Miss Luo Quan said to Seifert in a low voice, "By the way, where is Gao Liang?"
"Changing clothes in the back, it will be his turn soon."
He has practiced the script he got for these few days countless times, but he still has no bottom in his heart.
"I don't know if he will be scolded by Director Carnason in a while." Miss Luo Quan looked gloating and found a seat to sit down.
Immediately after, two more actresses came up, and each presented a performance.
Director Carnason also made a spicy comment every time, making these actresses quite embarrassed.
However, Director Carnason's comments every time were well-founded. People with thin skin might not be able to accept it, but if they are spiritual actors, they will immediately understand where their shortcomings and deficiencies are when they hear these sharp comments, and if they ponder it back, they might be able to improve their acting skills.
At least in Miss Luo Quan's view, this Director Carnason is not a thorough villain.
Of course, those female stars who were made to cry by him might not think so.
Soon, Gao Liang, wearing a retro-style costume from the last century, ran up. Seifert raised his phone with a bad smile and started filming.
The segment Gao Liang performed was a very classic shot in "Titanic", which is the scene where the protagonist Jack stands at the bow and shouts: "I am the king of the world".
For this segment, Gao Liang didn't know how many times he had howled at home these days. Fortunately, the neighbors were far away, and no one came to complain about him disturbing the people.
Gao Liang's performance was also very outstanding, fully showing the heroism and excitement of the protagonist Jack in that situation at that time. Director Carnason, who had been serious for a long time, also relaxed a little at this time.
After the performance, Carnason still made a comment as usual: "Not bad, but there is still room for improvement. I hope that by the day of the actual filming, your performance will be even better than it is now."
The meaning of this sentence is basically to set the position of the male lead.
Many male actors in the audience who were still waiting for news showed disappointed expressions. Although they all knew that they were unlikely to compete with Gao Liang, there was still a hope when they went on stage to perform.
Unfortunately, the hope is now completely shattered.
Carnason rubbed his eyebrows: "Let's take a break first. I've been busy all morning, and my head hurts a bit. God, this is even more tiring than filming for a day."
Everyone around laughed.
Gao Liang, who had changed his clothes, also came to Seifert and Miss Luo Quan's side.
"My performance is okay, right?" Gao Liang was in a very good mood at the moment and said proudly to Carnason.
"Very great, look at you, how full of energy your shouting is." Seifert raised his phone, and the screen was playing Gao Liang's performance.
Gao Liang was suddenly annoyed and ashamed. Although he felt his acting skills were exploding on the stage just now, he looked like a fool on the phone: "Delete it for me immediately! Right now!"
Seifert smiled badly: "That won't work, this will become the best refreshing video for me when I have insomnia at midnight."
Gao Liang rushed up without saying a word, and the two immediately twisted together.
Although Gao Liang said he was the "king of the world" just now, there was still a gap in combat effectiveness compared to Seifert. After twisting for a while, he found that his strength really couldn't beat the other party, so he hurriedly let go, so as not to take humiliation.
"If you dare to release this video, you are dead, even Jesus can't save you!" Gao Liang let go and said a harsh word.
"Don't worry, this will only be my own reserved program!" Seifert held back his laughter and said seriously.
Gao Liang gritted his teeth, but was helpless.
Suddenly remembering that his sister was by his side, he turned his head and said: "Sister, have you auditioned?"
"No. I refused to film kissing scenes, so it didn't happen." Miss Luo Quan's answer was short and direct.
"That's their loss. You don't have to worry too much. Maybe you can get a role in "Titanic" that doesn't require kissing scenes."
Perhaps the movement of Gao Liang and Seifert was a bit loud just now, attracting the attention of Director Carnason, who was walking in the theater.
And his attention quickly focused on Miss Luo Quan.
"Are you Miss Luo Quan?" Director Carnason's voice came from behind the three.
"Director Carnason, long time no see." Miss Luo Quan replied with a smile.
Carnason smiled: "It's rare that you still remember me. I remember the first time we met was on the plane to the United States. You were sitting next to me at the time, right?"
"Yeah, at that time I heard your name and didn't even react to who you were. Later I found out that you were so famous."
"So you are here now, do you want to audition?" Director Carnason smiled, "I remember mentioning to you at the time that I had a movie looking for a female lead, but I was a bit busy after that and haven't contacted you."
"Is the movie you mentioned this one?"
Carnason nodded: "Of course, the female lead of "Titanic" hasn't been settled until now."
Miss Luo Quan tentatively said: "Can I audition for a supporting role? The scenes are not important, as long as I can show my face."
Carnason was puzzled: "Why not act as the female lead? You know, the female stars in Hollywood are almost breaking their heads to get into this female lead position."
"If you are worried that you don't have enough ability to play this role, don't worry too much. Just like I said to you before, a good director can train the actor's acting skills. Under my hands, you will definitely be able to contribute a very wonderful performance!"
"I'm not mainly worried about this." Miss Luo Quan shook her head, "Gao Liang and I are siblings. The theme of "Titanic" is love, and some plots are definitely indispensable. If I film that, the impact on both of us is too great."
Gao Liang blinked and didn't speak.
Carnason was also stunned for a moment and looked at Gao Liang next to him: "Are you two siblings?"
"Yeah." Gao Liang nodded, "Don't we look alike?"
Only then did Carnason have time to observe the siblings who possessed the same shocking looks.
Between the eyebrows, there is indeed a five or six-point similarity.
Gao Liang continued: "In fact, we are half-siblings."
That's what he said, but it can still be said to be siblings of the same blood.
Even in open foreign countries, it has never happened that siblings film romance movies.
Moreover, Carnason, as a director, knows exactly how big the scale of these plots in "Titanic" is.
If it were really filmed, the world would definitely not be able to accept it. By then, it would bring huge public opinion pressure to him, the movie, and Gao Liang and Miss Luo Quan.
Gao Liang is his ideal male lead actor, and Miss Luo Quan's image is also what he likes very much.
But when the two are destined to produce irreconcilable conflicts, even Carnason, who has always been stubborn and tough, has to make compromises.
In the past, when conflicts between male and female leads led to changing roles, it was because the relationship between the two sides was so bad that it could not be eased.
And today it is because the relationship between the two sides is too close, which is really funny.
However, out of the dark side of human content, he was really looking forward to letting Miss Luo Quan and Gao Liang play the male and female leads of "Titanic".
From the perspective of art and viewing experience, this is definitely one of the best works in human film history.
But from an ethical point of view, it is definitely a shameless work that will be criticized countless times by future generations.
Desire, inferiority, dark psychology, everyone has them.
But the difference between good people and bad people is that good people know how to suppress their desires better than bad people.
Carnason didn't think he was a good person, just not that bad.
So this situation in front of him really has no second solution.
Gao Liang's male lead has been decided, it is impossible to replace him, and then let Miss Luo Quan be the female lead, so Miss Luo Quan can only be wronged.
"There is a supporting role in the movie that suits you. I will send you the script then." Carnason sighed.
"No audition?" Miss Luo Quan was a bit surprised.
"In fact, apart from the female lead, the scenes of other female characters in this movie are not many, which can be considered a disadvantage."
"So the female supporting role doesn't need much audition."
Miss Luo Quan smiled: "It sounds like I seem to be a bit insignificant."
"In fact, it is like this, but with your looks, even if the scenes are not many, you will definitely leave a deep enough impression on the audience in the movie."
"Beautiful people are the darlings of the spotlight wherever they go."
"Thank you for your compliment." Miss Luo Quan accepted Director Carnason's praise.
The latter also got up, ready to continue his work today.
The audition for the female lead is still continuing. I don't know if it's because Miss Luo Quan can't act, but Carnason looks at these actresses and feels uncomfortable.
In fact, the images and acting skills of the few who came out later were good, but Director Carnason still made various dissatisfied comments.
The assistant director and screenwriter beside him also saw that he was already a bit emotional, so they wrote down these outstanding female stars first and stopped the audition.
The assistant director presided over the overall situation on behalf of Carnason: "Director Carnason seems to be a bit tired. Today's audition ends here. The three actresses who performed just now remember to keep in touch."
After speaking, everyone started to pack up and prepare to return home.
Walking out of the theater gate, the reporters who had been waiting for a long time immediately surrounded them. The primary interview target was Miss Luo Quan and Gao Liang.
These two are now the top traffic owners in the East and West. The former is the woman of all men, and the latter is the man of all women.
Both appeared at the same time, where can any reporter sit still.
"Gao Liang, how did you perform in this audition? Can you take the position of the male lead?" The question was from a reporter from The Guardian.
Seifert stepped forward and said: "Specific details cannot be revealed too much for the time being, only that it is quite smooth."
This is the art of an agent's speech. Obviously, things have been decided, but he left suspense, and then used ambiguous words to hint, which is deeply versed in the gossip psychology of reporters.
A reporter from Hollywood Daily asked: "So Gao Liang has a high probability of becoming the male lead of "Titanic"?"
"Cannot be revealed for the time being." From this moment on, Seifert's mouth became as tight as a safe in a Swiss bank, and no information was revealed at all.
There was no way, the reporters could only turn their heads to interview Miss Luo Quan.
In fact, she had already met these people when she came out of the Olivier Theatre just now, so when the reporters handed the microphone to her mouth, she first waved her hand: "I have a lot to say, but didn't we say everything we could just now?"
The reporters laughed, and someone said: "If you are willing, I can find you a place for an exclusive interview!"
"We can too!"
"I can too!"
Look at this popularity.
Although Miss Luo Quan was beautiful in her heart, she still politely declined: "An exclusive interview is probably not possible. I have to leave the city this afternoon."
"That's a pity." The reporters looked disappointed.
There was nothing to ask about the movie. Anyway, Miss Luo Quan was not aiming for the female lead, so the reporters asked Miss Luo Quan about other gossip.
"It's Prince Harry's engagement banquet in a few days. As a count personally knighted by the Queen, did your grandfather receive an invitation?"
As soon as the reporter from The New York Times opened his mouth, it was a big gossip.
Miss Luo Quan's identity is actually no longer a secret abroad.
The Albert family where Count Charles Albert is located is also a famous family in the world. As a direct bloodline of this family, Miss Luo Quan was naturally dug to the bottom by these newspapers and magazines long ago.
And in foreign gossip, royals and nobles always have endless topics, and they never worry about attention.
After all, most people dream of becoming people above others. Even if it is almost impossible to achieve in reality, it is understandable to eat the melons of royals and nobles to satisfy their voyeurism.
But Miss Luo Quan herself really has no melons to dig.
Separated from her father for sixteen or seventeen years, she has almost never met anyone in her grandfather's family. What can she have to say?
"I don't know if my grandfather received an invitation. I am not very clear. This trip to London is mainly to celebrate his birthday."
The reporter continued to ask about this topic: "Then will you attend this engagement banquet yourself? As far as I know, many celebrities and royal members have been invited and have arrived in London recently."
Miss Luo Quan pursed her lips: "I haven't received any invitation yet. Discussing whether to go or not now is actually meaningless."
"Besides, I don't know Prince Harry and the prospective princess. I'd better not join in the fun."
Although she might be related by blood, Miss Luo Quan has always kept away from such occasions.
