Remember [lnmao.org] in one second, fast update, no pop-up window, free to read!
When I woke up, I felt a stone was stuffed in my head, and I shook a few times. Eric reached out and touched the mobile phone next to the pillow. I soon understood my situation again, smiled, and sat up. It is more than nine o'clock in the morning.
This is the Eric bedroom on the second floor of the Williams home. The blazing sun in the summer, unscrupulously sprinkled into the bedroom through the floor-to-ceiling glass doors of the south balcony. It has entered August, and it is not until noon that people feel Los Angeles. Sultry.
Reborn for more than half a month, Eric has been busy with all kinds of things, and the whole heart floats in the air. It is even too late to look at this brand new world where he is now, and now that everything has a good start, the whole heart falls in the atrium.
The bedroom is very large. 30 is more than 2 square meters. After putting in the big bed, wardrobe, desk, museum shelf and other at sixes and sevens things, it still looks empty.
In my memory, Ralph once thought of dividing the bedroom into two rooms, but it was not implemented in the end, because this family only has two people, their father and son, and there are enough rooms. I do n’t know what to do if there is another room. This bleak reason once made Ralph depressed for many days, but until his death, Ralph did not make any move like finding a wife.
I do n’t know if every alcoholic man has so many heartbreaking memories behind him.
Walking down the second floor, it took half an hour to tidy up the messy living room after party. After breakfast, Eric drove away from the house.
It took a few hours to go to the specialty store to order a Strauss piano. After leaving the address for the delivery man, Eric went to the bookstore to pick up a thick stack of music arranger books.
Eric is not a whim and wants to be a singer. He just made these for the soundtrack of future movies. There are so many classic movies in his mind. If you want to restore it perfectly, you must understand some basic arranger knowledge. At least To the extent that you can write the music you already have in your mind as a staff, otherwise you ca n’t hum it in front of those professional movie soundtracks later, do n’t make trouble.
Hollywood is different from the Eastern Mainland entertainment circle. Many Director in mainland China are doing good movies. When preparing soundtracks, they usually find a soundtracker. The soundtrackist looks at the film and provides some music. Director is okay. Too.
The music in Hollywood movies is a very important part, so the production is perfect, not to mention the background music, only the theme song has emerged countless classics, many classic movie episodes are more famous in the world, such as "Ghost" "Unrestrained melody", "Titanic" "My Heart Will Go On", "Transformers" "New Divide", "The Great Gatsby" "youngandbeautiful", "Frozen" "letiTGo", "Junuo" in the good tunes can be filled Full album.
Bringing the book home, the delivery guy delivered the piano quickly. Eric directed the piano into the study room on the west side of the living room, saying that it was a study room. In fact, there were no bookshelves, only a large desk and some others Sundries. Eric's books are all in his bedroom upstairs, while Ralph has no habit of reading.
After the piano is installed, you should try the sound as usual. Eric was sitting in front of the piano very character and put his hands on the keys. Then, in the horror and contempt of the eyes of several delivery men, this cargo played a somewhat out-of-tune "happy birthday". Eric 乜 glanced at a few dumbfounded delivery men next to him, sighed that the small sample was scared. At this level of brother, in the previous life circle, it is barely considered to be Shuangxin.
In order to punish several deliverymen for their contempt for themselves, Eric directly halved the tip they intend to pay. However, several delivery guys apparently did not notice this. When he got on the train, the white man, who was thin and tall, murmured Strauss, Strauss, that was more than 20,000 USD. Trauss, the tone is full of a sense of collapse of marrying the 28-year-old big girl to the 82-year-old grandfather. The Eric is a little embarrassed, but very helpless, he ca n’t go up and tell him : Lao Yang, don't worry, I will take good care of Xi'er.
......
"What, audition?" Eric asked in doubt: "Penny, hasn't my role been settled yet?"
After spending a few days at home, I spent every day studying music, practicing basketball, and performing. Eric thought this situation might continue until the film started shooting, but only three days later, I received a call from Director Penny · Marshall.
"Of course, Eric. I mean to ask you to participate in auditions for other roles. After all, you are screenwriter. Can you provide some opinions on the role selection?"
It is estimated that Eric can only give some opinions, and nothing can be decided. However, Eric readily agreed to Penny · Marshall. He originally wanted to participate in the production of movies to accumulate some experience.
Drive to the photography base of Fox. Seeing Penny · Marshall and James · Brooks, the movie casting is a big deal. Of course, Director and Producer must be present. It is still the room where he auditioned a few days ago. There are several other staff members who participated in casting, but only Eric A young man.
The audition still has more than ten minutes to start. Penny · Marshall took the initiative to chat with Eric about the preparation of "17 Again".
"The success of" Big "has made 20th Century Fox very confident in our movie, and has a budget of 20 million USD. But I hope that we will complete the production and release it during Thanksgiving as soon as possible, so we must within two weeks Complete the preparations, shoots finished the part of the school before the summer vacation. "
Eric accepted the list of audition Actor handed over by the staff and said thank you. Hearing Penny Marshall said: "As long as shoots is successful, three months is enough for this movie. There are only a few simple special effects shots in the movie. , It won't take long in the future. "
Penny · Marshall nodded: "It is indeed the case, but there is still a period of time reserved for publicity."
"Oh, Penny, which roles are we interviewing today?" Eric asked.
“It ’s like this. In adulthood, Mike O'Donnell and Scarlett O'Donnell, we have invited Dan Ike Roy De and Susan Sarandon respectively. Ned ’s adult character James recommended his A friend, today we are mainly interviewing Mike ’s children and some other young Actors in the movie, so I think you should have a look. "
Although Eric already knows that his screenwriter is destined to have no say in the choice of other Actor, but when he hears that he is completely unaware, several Actors have been decided, and it is still a bit depressed. Fortunately, Penny · Marshall The two Actors mentioned are in line with the expectations of Eric. As for the role of Ned, James · Brooks will definitely not take a 20 million USD investment as a play. Presumably that Actor will not be too bad.
However, Eric is still a little unwilling, and secretly swears that he must master the right to speak in his movie. This feeling of being marginalized is really bad.
Unfortunately, Eric was not in a mood to chat with Penny · Marshall anymore. Penny · Marshall didn't see the difference of Eric. He turned to the other side and whispered to discuss with James · Brooks.
Browse the Actor list for audition boringly. The front is all male Actor. The small fresh meat in the photo shows their youthful vitality. After turning seven or eight copies, Eric finally found an acquaintance: Brad · Pitt . And the role of the audition turned out to be Alex, the image of Alex in the original movie is that weak weak, Eric feels that original's weakness is a bit too much, and that small body is violently sprinkled on the basketball court.
According to his analysis, the reason why he chose the thin boy rather than a slightly taller and more handsome male voice, in addition to the plot needs, Director must also worry that this supporting role will suppress the protagonist Zac Efron, because Zac · Efron's height is only one meter seven or five. This height is very short among Westerners, especially the Western male Actor. The audience who watched the movie on previous life can obviously feel this.
Looking at Pete, who is 25 years old and still looks like a high school student, Eric suddenly felt that Pete was tall and strong but was bullied everywhere, and finally came to reverse a role that shines on the basketball court. Yes, and Eric is also fully confident that his performance will not be suppressed by Brad · Pitt. After Pete became famous, people found out that he played the son of Eric Williams, wasn't it interesting?
The corner of the mouth slightly lifted, Eric then went over the list, and then found no male Actor familiar to previous life.
Next is a thick dozen of Actress data. When I saw the first audition Actress data, Eric's jaw almost fell off. Angelina · Jolie, the family is today. Looking back, Eric found that Jolie should have just graduated from performing arts school this year, preparing to enter high school, and starting his professional model career next year. I do n’t know why it appears in Maggie ’s audition list.
The development of European and American women is very early. The 13-year-old Jolie in the photo is already slim, blonde, and iconic with **** lips. The whole person has begun to exude a touch of wildness. Eric is not optimistic about the audition results of Jolie, and the possibility of participating in the audition may be the result of the influence of his father.
Continuing to read, Eric found another interesting girl.
"Hey, Penny," Eric turned the head with the information and asked, "What's going on with Drew · Barrymore, the bad things she did in the past two years ... You know, maybe not too Is it suitable for our campus comedy? "
Penny · Marshall looked at it and smiled helplessly: "Stephen recommended it, the woman asked him with a shameless face, he recommended it overwhelmingly. But Stephen also implied that we did not need to consider his factors at all, so you I understand. "
"Stephen · Spielberg?"
Penny · Marshall nodded: "Yes, you know, Stephen is The Godfather of Drew."
Eric Oh gave a cry, so the woman in Penny's disgust should be the greedy mother of Drew. It's just that in just a few minutes, he heard the clues through Eric. He found that the selection of Actress by Hollywood was not as fair and transparent as the media said. It was still full of all kinds of human contacts and games. .
Just looking at the list, Penny · Marshall patted Eric and said: "Okay Eric, sort it out, the audition started."
Eric had to arrange the Actor form in order, waiting for the next audition.
I thought that I would become a decoration, and provide at most one or two optional opinions, and ask a few questions symbolically. Unexpectedly, the first young male Actor came in. After answering a few questions, the performance stage began, and Penny · Marshall smiled to Eric: "Eric, you go up and play a rival play with Mr. Walson."
Eric shrugged, looked at the camera script, and stepped forward.
......
The fifth Actor walked out of the audition room, and Eric sat back in his seat, complaining like a joke: "Penny, I originally thought you called me to be a referee, but I did n’t expect to be a basketball on the court."
"Oh, it ’s a very interesting metaphor. Do n’t complain, Eric. It ’s James ’s idea. He complained that I canceled your acting class, and finally discussed this method for you to exercise your acting skills."
Eric pretended to glared angrily at James · Brooks, complaining: "Why don't you just explain it directly?"
"Don't you know now?" Penny · Marshall smiled.
"Okay." Eric spread his hands silently.
