350. Roca and Carlo

At noon on weekends, Los Angeles, Warner Bros Studios, in front of Astor Café, Roca got out of the car and came here to meet Ms. Theron and chat about new characters.

Three months ago, Ms. Theron received a new film project "Never Compromise", which tells the story of Josie, a female miner who was fed up with the harassment of male miners, and with the help of lawyer Bill, launched the nation's first The story of a sexual harassment class action case.

In this movie, there are several important supporting actors. The one recommended to him by Theron is the male number three, the scumbag boyfriend of the heroine when she was young, and the scumbag co-worker now.

Uh, why do you want to play the scumbag again?

When he heard about this role, Roca's reaction was anger. He knew he was a good man, so why was he often forced to play a scumbag?

Ms. Theron sneered on the phone that he was a good fit.

Rocca was also speechless, but he didn't refuse. The box office and word-of-mouth of this movie are good, with a box office of over [-] million, and it has also won several Oscar nominations.

After that, you need to pass the audition of the crew.

"Hi~ Sally!"

After entering the coffee shop, Roca took a glance and saw Ms. Theron.

She was sitting in the booth area in the middle, wearing a silver-gray suit, with blond mid-length hair, chatting with a woman in her 30s.

"Rocca, here!"

Ms. Theron blinked her blue-gray eyes, and said something to the woman opposite. The woman turned her head, looked him up and down, and raised her eyebrows.

When Roca walked over, I heard the woman muttering softly, 'Is he too handsome to be in a western movie', 'Actually he is very mature', 'Haha, doesn't he, he looks very tender, How did you meet', 'At the Berlin Film Festival'

"Cough cough~"

When Rocca walked to the seat, Ms. Theron coughed lightly and introduced solemnly,

"Rocca, this is director Nikki Caro, you should have seen her "Whale Rider""

"Yes, Director Caro, Whale Rider is beautiful and stunning, it's like another Braveheart to me"

Director Caro is from New Zealand. Last year, "Whale Rider" directed by her was nominated for an Oscar for Best Actress, and there were many other awards. Among the female directors, she is considered the best. The future will be the live-action film "Mulan". director.

"Thank you for your impressive performance in 'Buried'"

Director Carlo smiled slightly.

The two shook hands, and Roca sat on the seat between them.

"Roka, Director Carlo thinks you are too tender for that role, what's your opinion?"

Ms. Theron said it bluntly.

Director Carlo glanced at her unexpectedly, brushed his hair and said, "Mr. Kelly, I just think your appearance is a little too delicate and too young. This character has two periods, the first is sixteen Seven years old, that's okay, the second period is a rough middle-aged miner, you know what I mean?"

"I get it, it's not a problem for me just to play a middle-aged guy"

Roca said confidently.

He frowned slightly, his forehead and the corners of his eyes were wrinkled, and the muscles of his cheeks were also obvious, making him look like a rough man doing manual labor.

With his movements, his temperament gradually changed, becoming stable and mature. He slowly took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, knocked on the pack with the gesture of an old smoker, lit the cigarette, After coughing a few times, he squinted his eyes and took a breath slowly. His deep eyes were full of thoughts, like a middle-aged man who was under all kinds of pressure...

Director Carlo blinked her eyes in surprise. She has seen many excellent actors in the industry, and she has also seen people who can change their identities and play roles of all ages.

But like Roca, he did not prepare anything, and changed his face directly on the spot. This kind of face change requires the actor to control the facial muscles to a very high level, and Roca did a good job.

In addition to the face change, the most surprising thing is that his temperament has changed greatly. From the beginning, the sunny and handsome suddenly became mature, stable, rough, and even a little greasy. This change is not only on the surface, but through the details. To convey a message - he's a middle-aged man, he's got a mature soul.

Director Carlo believes that if he puts on makeup for Roca, he will definitely be able to play the role of the middle-aged man well.

She glanced at Ms. Theron, where did you find such a tender-looking guy.

Ms. Theron smiled slightly. She was also a little surprised just now, but it was not surprising that this guy was sometimes mature and rigid like an old man in the previous few times we got along.

Boo!

Theron snapped his fingers, "Okay, Roca, put out your cigarette!"

Roca was stunned for a moment, and slowly started to play. He put out the cigarette and apologized repeatedly.

clap~

Director Caro clapped his hands, "Mr. Kelly, your performance is wonderful, you convinced me, I believe you can play this role well"

"Thank you!"

After being approved by Director Carlo, Roca participated in the audition for the crew of "Never Compromise" at three o'clock in the afternoon. The audition scene was at Warner Bros. Studios.

Before the audition, Rocca asked Tony to draw a grown-up look.

The audition process was very simple, including lines, performances, and conversations. Rocca completed the audition in only 15 minutes. The on-site producer directly told him the result and welcomed him to join the crew.

Rocca expressed his gratitude, and he was even more grateful to Ms. Theron. A large part of the reason why this audition was so simple was because of Ms. Theron. She won the Oscar this year and became an A+ actress in the circle. It revolves around her, and it is not difficult for her to arrange an actor.

"Sally, I passed the audition. Do you have time? May I treat you to dinner?...Okay, I get it...There is something I think I need to tell you"

On the drive back to Malibu, Rocca was on the phone while driving.

"what's up?"

Theron asked on the phone.

"Someone in the circle blocked me, do you know?"

Rocca asked.

Theron was stunned for a moment, and smiled softly, "I know, you ruined someone's marriage, and they should take revenge on you, isn't that right?"

"No, I'm not, they just bully me for being Brazilian"

Roca said innocently.

"Okay, I see, you don't have to worry about this, no one in Hollywood can cover the sky with one hand, this role is yours, this will not change"

Ms. Theron is domineering and authentic.

Roca wanted to hug his thigh when he heard this, but unfortunately his integrity did not allow him to do so.
