Chapter 46 46 Why Are You Still Two-Faced?

Chapter 46 Why are you still being two-faced?

After Joseph Gordon-Levitt left, the second person who walked in made Eric frown. It was Shia LaBeouf, the original star of "Transformers".

Eric just said that he doesn't dislike anyone, which is of course a lie. Shia LaBeouf is the one he hates the most.

It's just that this guy's agent is very familiar with his father, so even though he is only 16 years old and a real high school student, he can only let him in for an interview.

Since this guy had disappeared for a long time before time travel, many people had forgotten about him, but he was definitely considered the troublemaker in Hollywood, the kind of person who would kneel down and call Ezra Miller "senpai" when he saw him.

When Shia LaBeouf was 19 years old, he dared to threaten his neighbor with a knife. He was lucky that he was not shot.

After he became popular because of "Transformers", he became addicted to alcohol and became a drunkard. He never left his hand without drinking.

First, he broke into a Chicago chain drugstore while drunk and wanted to make a zero-dollar purchase, and was arrested.

He didn't stop for two months, and he illegally smoked in a public place in Burbank. He refused to appear when he received a court summons, and refused to appoint a lawyer. Then he was regarded as a wanted fugitive by the court, and the reward was a somewhat humiliating $1,000. Finally, he was forced to He only paid the fine due to pressure from public opinion.

Then there was a drunk driving incident, and his arm was hit by an Optimus Prime, resulting in a broken arm.

That's why there was a scene in "Transformers 2" where Sam's arm was injured. It was because Michael Bay was forced to change the script, and the crew couldn't be delayed because of one person.

Then he complained that Spielberg was old and "Raiders of the Lost Ark" would not be on the stage. Starring in this movie was simply the biggest mistake.

And he was able to star in "Transformers" precisely because of Spielberg's support.

This was not over yet. Later, during rehearsals for the Broadway stage play "Orphan", he stalked his fellow actor Alec for a month, scaring him so much that he called the police and the crew fired him.

Another breaking news in 2012 was that on the set of "Lawless", a drunk Shia LaBeouf attacked Tom Hardy, knocking him unconscious and sending him to the hospital.

His reputation was already bad, and perhaps no one wanted him to make movies anymore, so he started working as a director again.

I shot a short film and won an award. As soon as the reviews improved, it was revealed that it was plagiarized. I then flew a drone to apologize to the original author, but it ended up flying to the wrong address.

Until 2019, Shia LaBeouf's career reached its peak when he wrote and directed the movie "Baby Boy" about his childhood.

In the movie, his father can only be described as a villain, and the audience also understands the pain caused by his original family.

Just when the audience began to sympathize with him, a reversal occurred. He personally admitted on the show that the plot was all false and he had made it up.

In order to get his father's approval, he also used a fake script to trick his father into signing it, making his father a target of criticism. It was really too much of a trick and a trick.

Listed here are only some of the bad things Shia LaBeouf has done. In addition, there are domestic violence against his girlfriend, beating of homeless people and other evil deeds. Compared with him, Ezra Miller is considered a novelty.

Eric would only use such a lunatic unless he was also crazy.

"Shia LaBeouf, do you know the story of Transformers?"

"Yes, I saw it on TV."

"Tell me the names of a few Autobots and Decepticons."

Shia LaBeouf was stunned for a moment. What kind of question was this? In fact, he had never seen Transformers at all and only learned a little about it for the audition.

Immediately he hesitated and said: "Optimus Prime, Megatron, and more"

Eric clicked his tongue: "You don't seem to understand. It's not a good habit to deceive the producer."

Shia LaBeouf hurriedly wanted to explain, but Eric didn't give him a chance and continued to ask: "Can you drive skillfully? The male protagonist in the movie has a lot of scenes in the car."

Of course, this question also troubled him, because California law stipulates that minors must be 16 years old or older to apply for a driver's license.

But it doesn’t mean that you can drive on the road if you get a driver’s license at the age of 16. There are strict restrictions. For example, you can’t drive at night, you must be accompanied by a parent, and you can’t bring people other than your parents.

Due to many restrictions, although there are many people who have taken the driver's license test at the age of 16, not many actually drive on the road. The transportation in Los Angeles is convenient, and students generally use public transportation.

Faced with this problem, Shia LaBeouf could only try his best to explain: "Sir, I have already obtained the certificate, and I can practice well, this is not"

Eric interrupted again: "But we don't have time to practice, we only have two months to shoot, you know?"

The interviewers next to me were speechless. You just told Joseph Gordon-Levitt that you would be filming for three months. Why did you suddenly change?

Seeing Shia LaBeouf's incoherent remarks, Eric said expressionlessly: "Of course, what I just said is secondary. Let's try out the show first."

Shia LaBeouf was stunned again, but he was yelling in his heart: "It doesn't matter what you said is so serious, you scared me!"

But at this moment, he was in a state of confusion and could not get into the state. He got stuck three times in a simple performance, and finally walked out dejectedly.

Eric gave him a few words of encouragement, saying that he had a bright future and that he just performed abnormally this time.

Shia LaBeouf couldn't help but have an illusion again. This producer is not bad.

After he walked out, Eric said: "Did you see it? He is too young and can't bear the pressure at all. How can he cope with the formal shooting if he can't stand a few questions?"

Several interviewers were speechless again. You said all the good and bad things, and it turned out that it was all the other party's fault.

Outside, seeing Shia LaBeouf about to cry, everyone's heart couldn't help but jump. Although he was an unknown person, he shouldn't be so miserable. The interviewer was too cruel!

After calming down, James McAvoy stood up from his seat, and Tom Hardy and Michael Fassbender cheered him up.

"You can do it, James. This is the best opportunity. You will definitely be able to seize it. You are Sam."

"I am Sam! I am Sam!"

While doing self-hypnosis and taking deep breaths, James McAvoy walked into the audition room.

And the moment he saw him come in, several interviewers knew that he was eliminated.

First of all, the height. Gal Gadot is 175 cm tall, while the British gentleman in front of him is only 170 cm tall. This is embarrassing.

What's more serious is the temperament. His temperament is more literary than Joseph Gordon-Levitt.

The thin eyebrows and big eyes with bags under his eyes, coupled with thin lips and a small mouth, are exactly the configuration of the male lead in an art film.

If he is willing to sacrifice, he can play the female lead.

In short, the appearance of the American hero is completely unmatched, and Eric will definitely not be satisfied.

Not long after, James McAvoy came out with a tangled expression, and Tom Hardy and Michael Fassbender hurried to meet him to inquire about the situation.

"James, how is it?"

"It failed. He told me clearly that I was not suitable, but asked me if I was willing to play other roles?"

"What role?"

"A supporting role with few plots but very important, with close-ups and lines, anyway, not cannon fodder."

Hearing this, Tom Hardy and Fassbender understood why he was entangled. He auditioned for the leading actor but got a role that he didn't know what the male number was. How could he not be entangled?

"James, do you want to accept it?"

"Why not? With my current fame, it's better to have it than not."

Not long after James Yimei failed the audition, Tom Hardy and Michael Fassbender were also eliminated.

The former is not a muscular man like Bane, but a handsome look. The audience can tell at a glance that this guy is not a good person, which is not the same as Sam.

And Eric remembered that the young Tom Hardy has always had problems with alcoholism and drug addiction. It is estimated that he is still receiving treatment. It is impossible to choose him as the leading actor.

The same problem applies to Michael Fassbender. Although he is handsome, his face shows a rebellious and stubborn character.

Especially when he frowns, he always gives people a feeling of deep hatred, which is suitable for Magneto, but obviously does not match Sam's enthusiasm and sunshine.

Of course, they did not gain nothing. Eric gave them the role of American soldiers, the kind with lines and shots.

James Yimei is not suitable for wearing military uniforms. Eric gave him the role of a computer expert, which fits his temperament.

These two people are more suitable for wearing military uniforms, especially Fassbender. Eric can already imagine his ferocious expression when he shuttles through the battlefield.

So far, the British trio of "Band of Brothers" has died collectively.

In the audition room, Eric looked at James Franco in front of him. Now he is not the controversial Fu Lanlan, but he is also the most famous person who came to audition today.

"James, give me a side profile, very good."

"Frown your brows slightly for me to see, that's all."

"Now smile."

James Franco smiled slightly, and the aura of a rich young man on his face could not be stopped, but Sam's family background was actually very ordinary.

Eric frowned: "James, relax, open the corners of your mouth a little wider, I need you to laugh happily, let the haha ​​sound ring."

"Okay."

James Franco nodded and readjusted his expression, and at this time he gave people a cold feeling.

Then he opened his mouth and laughed, but the intensity seemed a little too strong, turning into a silly smile.

Several interviewers shook their heads slightly in their hearts, because from James Franco, they saw the common problem of young actors, especially those who are popular and handsome.

These actors know that they are handsome, and they know which part of their body is the most handsome, so they always show it intentionally or unintentionally, and try to hide their shortcomings.

There is nothing wrong with the approach, and it is also human nature, but over time, the temperament will be formed, and it is difficult to correct it in a short time.

After examining his figure and temperament, Eric asked again: "What do you think you can bring to the movie?"

"A lot. I will obey any arrangement of the director. I can endure hardships and can do any scene myself. There will definitely be a lot of explosion scenes in the movie. If the director wants it to be more realistic, I can use no double. I am confident that I can shape Sam well and present a popular male lead to the fans."

The answer was great, and everyone was very satisfied. Everyone likes an obedient and responsible actor.

When they walked out of the audition room, the waiting people saw the smile on James Franco's mouth, and they all felt nervous and thought it was not good.

Then Jake Gyllenhaal came out and left without saying a word, recalling what Eric had just said.

Then it was Ben Foster. There was no disappointment on his face, which was not surprising, because he did not have a strong desire to win.

He has been acting in TV series for many years, but he is not famous. Especially his girlfriend Kirsten Dunst became popular because of her role in Spider-Man, which made him taste the difference.

His mediocre acting career, repeated failures and blows have already worn away his will, and he often feels that he is not suitable for this path.

Recently, he has quarreled with his girlfriend frequently, and his mood has been very depressed and he has no motivation. He just submitted his resume with the mentality of giving it a try. If he can be selected, it is a stroke of luck, and if he can't be selected, it doesn't matter.

Fortunately, it is not bad, and he got a small role as an American soldier.

After Ben Foster left, the audition continued.

There were fewer and fewer people waiting, and more and more people left disappointed, until only Heath Ledger and Chris Evans were left at the scene.

Inadvertently, the two looked up at the same time, their eyes intertwined. Although they didn't know each other, they were the only two left in the huge room, and it seemed a bit awkward not to do something.

So, the two smiled at the same time. Fortunately, Chris Evans was called at this time, which ended the somewhat awkward scene.

In the audition room, others gradually figured out Eric's routine. He seemed to be very familiar with this group of young actors, and he always made various requirements based on their strengths and weaknesses.

And it can be clearly felt that he didn't like some of them, and the questions were very targeted and aggressive.

He was very tolerant of some of them, such as Jake Gyllenhaal. Eric gave a lot of pertinent suggestions and was also very friendly to the trio of "Band of Brothers".

As for Ryan Gosling, who just left, a newcomer who debuted for two or three years, he was also very tolerant, allowing the other party to fully demonstrate his characteristics, and his temperament really fits the role of Sam.

Of course, there are shortcomings, such as a long chin, but it is already very good in this audition.

At this time, the door opened again, and a tall, handsome and sunny boy came in and introduced himself politely.

Eric couldn't help but smile when he saw Tao, who was only 21 years old and still had a youthful and reserved look on his face.

"Chris, relax, don't be so nervous, this is just an audition, not an interrogation!"

A chuckle sounded in the room, and the atmosphere eased a lot in an instant, and Chris Evans relaxed.

"The interviewer is very good, why are those people frowning?"

While muttering in his heart, the young Captain America cooperated with Eric to make different movements and expressions.

The subsequent audition went smoothly, because the roles he played in the past two years were all high school students, and he was very good at this kind of role.

After going through the basic process, several interviewers nodded secretly, saying that he had the right temperament and was handsome, and he was a strong competitor for Sam.

Suddenly, Eric stood up from his seat, walked to Chris Evans in front of everyone's puzzled eyes, and circled around him a few times.

Then, in the latter's surprised eyes, he approached, pinched his chin, patted his abdomen and chest, paused briefly, and then let go and returned to his seat.

"Sorry Chris, I have no ill intentions, but if you want to get the role of Sam, you need to work harder."

Chris Evans was shocked, combined with Eric's action just now, and then thought about his handsome face.

"No way, is he gay?"

"Who cares, this is a Class A production, this is Hollywood, you should have realized it long ago, Chris, just close your eyes, you can do it."

Gritting his teeth, Chris Evans tried to say: "No matter what you want me to do, just open your mouth, sir."

"It's not that complicated, you have a good figure and are too strong, Sam is not such a person."

"I need you to lose weight, you must say goodbye to the muscles you have worked hard to train, so that your wide chin will become narrower, that's Sam."

Hearing this, the young Captain America breathed a sigh of relief, and his mood was really ups and downs.

In the past two years, the directors of the auditions asked him to gain muscle, and he always played some big guys. This is the first time that he was asked to lose muscle.

It is painful to maintain a good figure, but it is happy to destroy it.

With a smile on his face, the young Captain America walked out of the audition room.

If there are readers who like it, please give me some monthly tickets. Of course, the old saying still applies: don't support the book.
