Chapter 27 Audition

The sound of the ding-dong guitar is intermittent. The boy holding the guitar is sometimes full of energy, sometimes closes his eyes and meditates, and sometimes draws and draws on the music score from time to time. Even when inspiration comes, he will write a few lyrics.

Pai Jinsli sat opposite him, looking through a stack of graffiti-like music scores. As an industry insider in the entertainment industry, she knows more or less, and occasionally hums a short paragraph, but most of these music scores are disordered and difficult to connect into a complete piece.

After sighing softly, Jinsli couldn't help but persuade her. In her opinion, Ryan learned too many things and had too many things to do. This is not good. Being dedicated but not being careful is very detrimental to future development. It is difficult for another person like Barbara Streisand in this era.

Ryan shook his head without comment, but thought of another thing. The tyrant on the set actually sent him an audition invitation. As for the role, who else will be besides the future savior!

"Ryan, have you considered it?" Jinsley asked when he saw Ryan put the guitar aside.

"When will they turn on?" Ryan asked.

"If the casting goes well, it will be mid-October or late October." Jinsley somewhat saw some of Ryan's thoughts, "You... plan to accept the invitation?"

"Why not?" Ryan asked with a smile. "It's just an audition. James Cameron may not be able to watch me."

It was probably the conversation at the premiere of "The Sixth Sense". It was obvious that he left some impression on the future King of the World, and the other party actually invited him to attend John Connor's second audition directly.

Pi Jinsley quickly gave the crew of "Terminator 2" a thin script about John Connor was delivered to Ryan. After reading it, Ryan laughed. Although there were many different places from the movie he remembered, the main plot did not change at all.

...

"Jim, I don't understand why you want to add that candidate to the second audition." Anne Hurd, as the producer of the film, was obviously a little dissatisfied with the decision of his ex-husband. "Yes, Ryan Jenkins showed amazing acting skills in the Sixth Sense. I also think no child star can do better than him, but don't forget that his gloomy temperament is too far from John Connor's setting!"

"Annie, you probably haven't seen Ryan?" James Cameron shook his finger after seeing the other party nodded. "I've seen him at the premiere of "The Sixth Sense". The conception of T1000 comes from him. Ryan in reality is completely different from that in the movie. He is a sunny, cheerful, smart and precocious boy. This is just an audition."

"Did the T1000's idea come from him?" Anne Hurd automatically ignored other words.

"Yes, why did he say that?" Cameron recalled a little, "a transformed liquid robot like a Porsche. No doubt, Arnold and Mario were both present at the time."

"Okay." Anne Hurd looked at the time, "Let's prepare, the audition will start soon."

North Hollywood, where he lived for nearly seven years after his rebirth, Ryan sighed in his heart, broke through the rearview mirror, looked at the light brown big part that covered most of his forehead, and curled his lips. The newly made look, coupled with the old denim outfit, made him look very rebellious.

"Ryan, do you know? You feel very strange to me now!" Jinsley said after opening the car door for him.

Ryan shrugged. He specially made this look with a stylist. Since he agreed to attend the audition, he naturally had to show some professionalism.

Walking into the T2 studio set up by James Cameron for "Terminator 2". Under the guidance of the staff, the two soon came outside the audition room. After finding a place to sit down, Ryan looked at other competitors around, especially the guy he wanted to find.

However, Ryan looked at it several times but did not find the face. He couldn't help but mutter in his heart, could it be that his big butterfly slaps him?

Waiting was boring and boring. After chatting with Jin Sili for a few words, he simply wandered around and started to think about it in habitually.

"Ryan! It's your turn." I don't know how long it took, but the sound of the agent reminding him came to my ears.

Ryan calmed down, tidied up his clothes, and followed the staff into the audition room. This was his first time in the audition, so he couldn't help but be curious.

You should know that there are too many legends about the audition room in Hollywood. Although the messy things gradually disappeared after the 1980s, some situations are simply impossible to eliminate when you are willing to do so.

"I'm Ryan Jenkins, born in 1980, and has appeared in "The Sixth Sense" so far..."

Ryan shook his funny big part, without the gloomy temperament in "The Sixth Sense", and looked sunny and cheerful, with a hint of rebellion.

"I'm a little younger." Anne Hurd muttered, but could not deny that the boy's appearance was not consistent with his age, especially his temperament, which was a world of difference from his performance in "The Sixth Sense".

"Ryan, what do you think of the character of John Connor?" The person who asked was James Cameron.

"I am rebellious but I am still innocent and kind." Ryan gave this answer without thinking.

Sure enough, the few people behind the long table nodded subconsciously.

"What do you think of this movie?" Anne Hurd asked.

"Although I only see a part of the script, I can also see some ideas from it. Unlike Terminator 1, which relies solely on blood and struggle to attract audiences, the script obviously adds more thoughts, such as 'Will human beings be destroyed by the technology they created?' And what will a robot do when he has human feelings? Then it is to perfectly combine science fiction and philosophical thinking..."

Although the people on the opposite side gradually opened their mouths, Ryan had no intention of stopping. He recalled the comments about "Terminator 2" in his previous life, combined with the part of the script he had read, and he kept talking. After a few minutes, he closed his mouth.

"God, what Ryan said coincides with my idea." Cameron clenched his fist with one hand and pounded his palm hard.

"Ryan, are you really only ten years old this year?" Mario Casa on the other side asked with a look of surprise.

"I don't think this is a secret."

Ryan spread his hands and looked at James Cameron. In fact, there were several contacts between the two. Before adopting the T1000 concept, he called the phone, but Ryan naturally would not refuse.

After asking the question, the next step is to perform John Connor on the camera. It is not very difficult for Ryan, who has experienced the baptism of "The Sixth Sense" and has a full understanding of this science fiction masterpiece. Just look at the satisfied smiles on the faces of several examiners after he and his temporary assistant completed the scene.

"Ryan, I heard you signed a contract with Touchstone Pictures, right?" Anne Hurd asked with a straight face.

"Yes." Ryan nodded, "If there is no accident, I will follow the crew to Canada in a few days."

"That's how it is." The faces of several people showed a look of embarrassment.

"In fact, director Columbus expects to end all shootings in about a month and a half," Ryan added.

"Okay, then," said Anne Hurd, "We'll inform you as soon as possible today."

Ryan talked about the audition situation with Jinslie while walking outside. He was the last one to attend the audition. At this time, the corridor had already become empty. When they arrived at the front desk of T2 Studio, they suddenly found several people arguing.

"Sir, we just came late because we were in a while because we were in a house. Can we give it a chance?"

"After a while, you were late for more than two hours. Now the audition is over. Sorry, let's just do it." The staff refused without thinking.

"Edward, say something."

The boy with a hairstyle that was very similar to Ryan pursed his lips hard, "Forget it, what if the audition is successful? It's not the money-making tool they snatched. I don't want to stay in that family for a moment, let's go."

After the boy finished speaking, he walked outside without looking back. The middle-aged man should be his agent, so he hurriedly followed him out.

Ryan took all this in his eyes, but he didn't feel anything. From the day he wrote, I don't know how many people would change their destiny because of this, it's no big deal to have more of them.

"Pate, let's go."

Several people in the audition room did not leave. After watching the video of the audition again, the few people already had clear candidates in their hearts.

"Jim, which one do you think is suitable?" asked Mario Casa.

"What about you?" James Cameron looked at his ex-wife again, "Anne, Mario, what I see from you is the same answer as me."

"Don't he think he's a little younger? Also, if there is a problem with the shooting plan of Touchstone Pictures, it will affect us!" Although Anne Hurd had already recognized the candidate, he still raised some objections.

“These are small problems that can be solved, aren’t they?”

Just before Ryan left Los Angeles, good news came through Jinsli. At the same time, there was a thick stack of scripts delivered to him. As long as there was no problem with the subsequent negotiations between Jinsli and Carroco Film Company, he would be the future savior.

"Nicole, don't worry, I'm not a little brat, I know how to take care of myself." Before the boarding gate, Ryan hugged Nicole Kidman tightly. To be honest, he didn't want to be separated from her for so long, but it was not just that he would participate in the filming of "Home Imposses", Nicole would also travel to Seattle and New York soon to show the outdoor scene of "Seattle Night Without Sleeping".

Perhaps it was the inertia of the wheel of history. Although Ryan did not make any suggestions to the director and actors, Miramax still found Nora Ifron to take charge of the director and Tom Hanks played the leading role.
