My Name is Kobe Bryant

Chapter 184 Audition

"Kobe, I think this is good! This is good!"

"No, next one."

"No, you don't understand! Taste, savor carefully!" An office in Hollywood has been booked by Jack Nelson to serve as an audition for Kobe's upcoming movie.

At this time, Kobe and Nelson were sitting side by side, and a woman was stuttering and reading a script.

"No, that's too stupid."

"You don't understand! The lines can be dubbed and synthesized in the later stage! It's hard to find such a big girl!"

"Big waves? Are there not many women with this hairstyle?" It was the 1990s, and indeed many Western women in this era liked long curly hair styles.

"It's not hair! It's not hair! Forget it, how can you understand it, you brat." Nelson collapsed on the seat in an instant, unable to explain clearly to Kobe.

"Jack, don't know what you're talking about. Funds are limited."

Then Kobe raised his voice.

"Thank you ma'am, please put down the notebook, and we will let you know if we need it, next one!"

"Kobe, I'm your fan! Can I get an autograph? Here."

"Sorry, I'm not your fan. Security!"

"Cut!" The lady with the big wave hair rolled Kobe's eyes, and walked out of the audition room with a twist.

"Damn, who are these people." Kobe rubbed his forehead, a whole morning had passed, and he hadn't found an actress who met the requirements.

What a waste of my training time!

"" Nelson had the word salted fish written on his head, and he didn't have the energy to tease Kobe anymore.

Both of them got up at 5 o'clock and arrived in Hollywood at 7 o'clock to start the audition. Even Kobe was a little tired, let alone Nelson who didn't like sports.

"What kind of actor do you want?"

"Ordinary, ordinary, the closer to life the better."

"God bless! This girl doesn't come to Hollywood!"

The two dawdled and continued the audition. Kobe gradually mastered the rhythm of the audition process from unfamiliarity to familiarity.

"Hi, can we come in?" came a soft voice.

"Please come in."

Kobe's eyes lit up! This is a play.

"Hi, I'm Julia Taylor."

"Hey! Kobe, this one is also good." Nelson regained his energy and secretly tugged on Kobe's clothes.

"Please give a brief self-introduction." Bryant gave Nelson a contemptuous look, and then said to the auditioners.

Julia Taylor quickly talked about her resume. She was born in 1967 and just turned 30 this year. She graduated from Yale University's Department of Drama and entered the film and television industry in 1993. This age is considered old in Hollywood, so she is not popular. The market is to be seen. There have been some experiences in supporting roles, but no outstanding achievements.

"Try the notebook."

Julia Taylor delivered a terrified look and action lines, and Bryant nodded.

"The shooting time is 5 days, the salary is 4,500 US dollars, no problem, we can sign the contract." Kobe made a decision on the spot, and Julia Taylor perfectly met his requirements for the heroine. She is a common fashion lady in the Los Angeles area. A sense of neighborhood familiarity.

"No problem! Mr. Bryant, thank you for the opportunity!" Julia Taylor was overjoyed. As an older woman with unremarkable appearance, she was almost ready to leave Los Angeles and return to her hometown.

Especially the part-time job is actually the best actor Jack Nelson. Even if the director is a scumbag, she believes that this movie will be good.

The shooting time is so short, and she can find another job immediately after shooting, which is very attractive to her.

Life is not easy, and Julia Taylor is just surviving in the cracks. The high rent in Los Angeles makes her a little bit unable to persist.

The two sides quickly settled the contract matters, which Jack Nelson is good at, and he asked his assistant to finalize the contract and complete the signing.

The heroine is done, and the hero is next.

Compared with the heroine, the male protagonist has more roles and needs to be screened more.

The male protagonist needs to create a character who is curious and bold, with a strong body, but does not make people feel divorced from reality.

It is necessary for American audiences to have a sense of substitution, so the characters must be tough.

This speed is very difficult to grasp, but when Kobe met someone, this problem was easily solved.

"Kobe, I'm your fan." A man with an Australian accent and a half-cut hairstyle greeted Kobe nervously.

He is an Australian opera singer who has just come to the United States recently and wants to make some changes, starting with the film and television industry.

"Hello, please introduce yourself." Kobe looked at this face with some familiarity, but he was not sure.

"My name is Hugh Jackman"

"Wait! Your name is Hugh Jackman???" The name finally impressed Kobe. Although Hugh Jackman doesn't have a beard now, his angular face is still eye-catching.

"Yes, what's the matter?" Hugh Jackman looked surprised, why Kobe reacted so much after hearing his name.

I am just a small opera singer in Australia, I have never heard that Kobe likes opera?

Hugh Jackman has auditioned many times recently, but was eventually eliminated, and he was also a little discouraged.

Do you want to go back to acting in opera? He often fell into this kind of self-doubt, when he saw Jack Nelson's audition announcement and signed up immediately, ignoring the fact that the director was an 18-year-old high school basketball star.

The last audition, if it doesn't work, go back to your old job!

Hugh Jackman came to the audition with that spirit in mind.

"No problem, it's just that I have a friend with the same name as you." Kobe smiled slightly and sat down.

"What a coincidence."

"Yes, it's such a coincidence. Sorry to interrupt you, please continue to introduce yourself."

"I'm an opera singer from Australia, I graduated from the University of Technology Sydney's Department of Journalism, and then studied comedy at the Western Australian Academy of Performing Arts."

"Have you ever worked in the film and television industry?" Kobe just asked casually, and he planned to sign the future Wolverine.

"Yes, in "Correlli"..."

Kobe hadn't heard of this TV show, but it didn't stop him from giving Wolverine an appreciative look.

"Okay, please try the script."

Hugh Jackman closed his glasses and brewed his emotions. Then there was a performance, fully expressing the characters in the script.

"Papa papa." Kobe and Jack Nelson applauded at the same time.

"Good guy, this acting is good." Jack Nelson has been slumped to the side in a daze since the end of the heroine audition, and

Hugh Jackman's performance finally got him excited.

"Let's sign the contract." Kobe took out a pen and paper.

Everything is ready for movie shooting, just wait for the last 40+ to start shooting!
