Entertainment: Start with Succubus and play Hollywood

Burbank.

In Meyers Studio.

Actually, the audition started a week ago.

First, the audition company screened out a large number of people.

Now, these are the candidates who have entered the second round of auditions.

Among them, there are five people auditioning for the role of "Georgina", a black maid.

Two of them gathered around Jada Smith to listen to her bragging.

The two people obviously felt that they had little hope, so they simply left a good impression on Jada Smith, the wife of a Hollywood A-list black actor.

There was another person sitting quietly next to Halle Berry, neither trying to please Jada Smith nor communicating with Halle Berry, but just constantly reciting something in her mouth.

Halle Berry listened carefully and found that the woman was reciting the lines.

The actors who entered the second round of auditions were given the corresponding role scripts to avoid the actors being confused during the audition.

Halle Berry looked at this person curiously. She was unfamiliar with him. He should be a new actor with no famous works, so she stopped paying attention to him.

"Jada Smith, it's your turn."

As the staff called out.

Jada Smith slightly adjusted her wig and walked into the audition room with her head held high.

"Do you think she can succeed?" Halle Berry suddenly asked.

The new actor sitting next to her was stunned, and then he realized that the other party was asking him.

He shook his head and said, "I don't know."

Halle Berry continued, "I guess she can't succeed."

"Oh, really? Why?" The young black actress became interested, after all, it involved her own interests.

She still remembers what her agent told her before she came: "Betty, you have to seize this opportunity. Hollywood has a very low demand for black actors. It is very rare for a film like this to have a black main role. You must find a way to impress Mr. Meyers. He is the key."

Her agent is also from CAA, and even wants to use Jeff Raymond's relationship to get her in touch with Martin Meyers.

Unfortunately, Jeff Raymond looked down on her agent, a low-level person, and ignored him.

But Betty Gabriel did not feel disappointed, but relieved.

She would rather compete with her acting skills, whether she succeeds or fails, than use her body to exchange for opportunities.

Besides, she did not think Martin would like her.

Look at Martin's rumored girlfriends, which one is not the top beauty? !

Putting an ordinary-looking woman like her next to those beauties is like the difference between sand and pearls.

Thinking of this, she glanced at Halle Berry beside her and thought: "If this person was 20 years younger, no, 10 years younger, maybe he would have a chance to climb into Martin's bed."

Halle Berry is a relatively "ageless" person in the West.Goddess, who could tell she was almost fifty years old when she played Storm Ororo Monroe in "X-Men: Days of Future Past"?

Halle Berry didn't know the woman next to her was observing her, and said to herself: "Jada thought she would definitely get the role because of Will's relationship, but she didn't think that if Martin liked her, there was no need for him to audition. For a small-investment R-rated movie like "Get Out", Martin could make the decision with one word, just like the male and female protagonists. No, even for those big-investment commercial films, Martin's words also have the final say, just like when "Iron Man" chose Robert Downey Jr...."

Betty Gabriel listened to Halle Berry and looked at her secretly.

This should be the ceiling of Hollywood black actresses, right?

"Beauty and the Beast", "X-Men", "Swordfish", "Monster's Ball", "Catwoman", "Call of Duty"... This person has never lacked resources in Hollywood. (I recommend "Monster's Ball". Students who haven't seen it can go and enjoy it.)

But I heard that Halle Berry has a "close" relationship with Spike Lee and Alan Ryder Jr., CEO of 20th Century Fox. I wonder if it's true?

"So, I think you have higher hopes. At least you are serious."

"Ah, oh, what, thank you!"

Betty Gabriel was surprised by Halle Berry's last sentence and replied at a loss.

Halle Berry laughed, and finally turned to look at Betty, and asked: "What's your name, are you a newcomer, and do you have any works?"

"Hello, Ms. Berry."

"Yes, Miss."

"Uh, hello, Ms. Berry, my name is Betty Gabriel, you can call me Betty, I starred in "G Breaking Big", but it was just a small supporting role, I came to Hollywood in 2010."

"G Breaking Big? I haven't heard of it, who is the director?"

"The director is Michael Urie."

"I still haven't heard of it, is it an independent film?"

"Uh, yes, it is an independent film, not released in theaters."

"Did it win an award?"

"No."

"Oh, no wonder."

Halle Berry laughed.

Betty Gabriel suddenly asked: "Ms. Berry, do you really think I have a good chance? Why?"

Halle Berry looked at her and said: "Yes, I think you have a good chance. First of all, I think Jada's chance is very low. From her bragging just now, we can hear that she didn't prepare well at all. Does she really think Will's face is so big? Secondly, I think my chance is also very low, because my age is too different from the age of the character setting-"

"I don't think you look old."

Betty Gabriel interrupted, this is her true words, not flattery.

"Yes, thank you. "

Halle Berry smiled and thanked, and continued: "As for the other two, from the way they just praised Jada, we can see that they have lost confidence in themselves. For an actor, if you lose confidence in the role you are going to play, then you can't play her well. People like Martin will never choose an actor who has no confidence in playing a role well, unless you are his woman. "

"Finally..." Halle Berry looked at Betty Gabriel again, "I just heard you say the lines, your lines are very good, and your tone is also very good. As long as your expression can match it during the audition later, I think you have a great chance. "

Betty Gabriel pondered Halle Berry's words, her eyes lit up, and she said sincerely: "Thank you!"

Halle Berry waved her hand, "I just like you so I gave you a suggestion."

"But it is very helpful to me. Thank you again!"

"Okay, okay, I accept your thanks. ”

“By the way, have you ever acted in a play?”

“Yes, I worked at the Clarke Repertory Theatre in Washington for six years.”

“No wonder you have such a steady breath.”
