Chapter 1120： Game of Thrones: Auditions (Part 1)

May 9, 2011.

Monday, London, England, light rain.

Emilia Clarke, 25, is worrying about rent.

The center of the British entertainment industry is not so easy to mix. Even if she lives in a shared apartment and only has a single room of her own, it is not something that an 18th-tier actress like her can support, because she can't get any performance work at all. She works part-time jobs everywhere to make money and maintain her "star dream".

But it was raining today, and the restaurant's business was not good. After wiping the tables and chairs several times, she sat down in the aisle next to the back kitchen, and her mind quickly flew to "My Fair Lady".

This is her favorite movie, with her favorite actress Audrey Hepburn.

She has watched it no less than a hundred times, and knows every scene and every line. This young girl always thinks of it when she is worried about her livelihood and depressed for not being able to act.

The brilliance and beauty are all in the movie.

"I swear by Chanel."

she thinks.

——————

"Amy, do you have nothing to do?"

Seeing the boss's figure appear, the girl hurried back to the front.

She wiped the table and chairs again.

no one.

in a daze...

She stared blankly at the rain falling from the sky and hitting the ground, but suddenly, Emilia saw two people on the opposite corner of the street wearing raincoats, holding a roll of advertising banners, and replaced the "Bridesmaids" in the display frame. poster.

It reads: "A Song of Ice and Fire" adaptation "Game of Thrones" is auditioning for the majority of actors.

Words such as "From 6 to 60", "Large Casting", "Character Fit", "10-Day Primary at 21 Bershire Boulevard, East Burbank" quickly occupied the girl's field of vision .

"In the UK, such a day seems to have no end at all, why not try it in Hollywood, where the stage is bigger and more opportunities are available." The idea of ​​​​this was accompanied by the appearance of the news of the strongly recommended test selection, which made the girl suddenly ignited power.

"Sir, I'm a little dizzy and uncomfortable."

Taking sick leave and returning home from get off work, Emilia called her agent.

She has an agent, but she doesn't have much ability to fight for resources, only small things can trouble him.

"Dalton, did you know that Game of Thrones is auditioning?"

"You know, the audition is all over the place." The agent responded, "Do you want to participate?"

"Ok."

"It can be said to be an audition, but it is obviously a hype. Besides, I have no way to guarantee that you can enter the next round, so why waste your money." The agent was a little embarrassed, and he also knew that the girl's living conditions were not good. Well, I sincerely suggested: "I still know a few people in London, and now I'm also helping you make an appointment. It doesn't matter if I go there."

Emilia was a little annoyed by the negativity released by the other party. For 6 years, she has only acted in one micro-movie, one soap opera, and they were all female thirds, but she also knew that she could not sign any big-name brokers on her terms. , I can only try my best to calm down my unwillingness, "I want to try, just take a run with me."

The agent couldn't shirk it. This was his job. "Okay, I'll buy the plane ticket for you."

Saying so, but in my heart, I am a little bit dissatisfied with the girl's "high ambitions".

Yes, it is common for British actors to go to Hollywood. After all, there are many British filmmakers who are developing there, and everyone is willing to give their own people a chance. Moreover, once they are popular in Hollywood, they return to the UK and export to domestic sales. It is a big hit, and his worth has risen in vain. In recent years, Robert Pattinson has not been very lucky to participate in "Twilight", and has accumulated a large number of fans, and the British media have followed suit.

But the problem is, first of all, you have to have some local qualifications. If you don't have a background or achievements, why would you think that Hollywood is different, where it is obviously more cruel.

It's worth noting that the client's own wish can still refuse it.

After floating in the sky for more than 11 hours, I got out of the airport, took a taxi, rented a hotel near Sunset Boulevard for a week, put away my luggage, and said that I was going to the new line studio, which is the address on the notice, The driver immediately asked if he was going to audition for "Game of Thrones".

There is no way, because of the audition, too many people go there every day to look for opportunities, and they are used to running.

"Here it is." The taxi driver smiled kindly at Emilia, "I wish you success, big star."

"Thank you." Emilia looked happy.

There are several security guards at the entrance of the base.

Except for the directions and warnings not to run around and disturb the work of other crews, I also put them in.

After walking for a while, I felt that the waiting hall was very lively across the distance. As a result, I went in and saw that there was a large group of people in Wuyang, Wuyang, old and young, and most of them were young people. Some people feel that they have seen it in which drama, and they feel a lot of pressure.

"How long does this have to wait?" Emilia asked. The agent shrugged and said he didn't understand either.

Fortunately, a 27-8-year-old white man turned his head and said, "You don't know. There are 10 days for the primary election. Every day, you come to the queue before 11:00, and then it starts. If you don't get on the queue, you continue to come on the next day. After the primary election, there are re-elections, and finally, the announcement said that it should be put on the Internet to go to the public to vote, and one Yahoo/Google account is bound to one ticket for each character."

"It's been a day of audition, isn't it?"

"Yeah, it was only exaggerated yesterday, and such a large hall was crowded. Fortunately, it is also the rule of 10-day uninterrupted selection. After many people know about it, they wait for the next few days." The man imagined: "This is a firefly. Even if he is a supporting role, he can be noticed by many people, but the investment is still so high, and the conditions of the crew must be good."

The place where the audition is requested to go up to the second floor is marked with a slogan, and there are also several firefly staff standing.

Before the time came, a few people were chatting, and they didn't know what they were talking about.

Emilia felt a little hungry, so she ate some plane meals, got off the plane and rushed over. Apart from renting two rooms, she didn't have the heart to eat, and she also thought about signing up and submitting documents. Did not expect this.

"Dalton, didn't we pass by a supermarket when we first arrived, can you go buy me some bread, I'm hungry. Also, can you take the opportunity to inquire about the insider? Or talk to the local broker. Inquire about Game of Thrones." She pointed to the few people chatting in the stairway, and looked at the other people in the lobby who accompanied the audition.

Dalton was about to reply when he saw that the first few people had ended their conversation.

One of the tall and thin men clapped his palms, attracting everyone's attention, "First line up to fill in the information, and then wait 40 minutes to start. One team for men, one team for women."

As soon as his words fell, the people who had been prepared for a long time had already queued up quickly, leaving a group of brokers to watch.

"Huh, it's better than yesterday, it's not so messy."

The tall and thin man whispered softly and returned to his companions.

Of course, the people recommended by a slightly higher-end brokerage company are not so troublesome They have been waiting for the second round before they come, so most of them are based on unfamiliar acting skills. personnel.

Nothing special to entertain.

The team marched little by little, each time 8 people entered the inner compartment together.

When it was Emilia's turn, it was a very simple data sheet, which included: graduate school (whether a major or not), age and height (role condition range) and other basic information collection, as well as an audition-related contract obey.

A similar meaning is to represent the comers to obey the audition rules, and they are afraid that if they fail to pass, they will die or make trouble.

Emilia didn't care, she signed it, received a number plate, number 135, and was told to wait in the lounge upstairs.

The hall is also spacious and temporarily furnished without unnecessary decoration, and the chairs are placed in rows.

"There is no service here." Someone next to him complained.

"Anyway, there is still mineral water that you can drink for free. I had an audition, and I waited all afternoon and there was not a drop of water. As a result, I was not allowed to audition." Some people don't care, "Just give me a role."

"Up to the second floor, we have food supply." It seemed that some people in the hall were talking bad about fireflies and were heard by the staff in front, and he couldn't help reminding: "Although it is fast food, someone will deliver it later. "
