Chapter 71 A good way to meet new friends
It's the day of one-on-one PK with the role of CoCo.
At 3 p.m., Madonna arrived in the audition room with Erin Cara.Director Alan Parker has set up the camera.
Irene Cara is a black girl with a Caribbean style, wearing a pink blouse with a collar, the neckline is wide open, revealing the straps and one shoulder.The lower body is a floral skirt.Very typical Caribbean style.
She came with her agent, and a makeshift make-up followed.
Madonna arrived alone, with short hair and a pair of sunglasses crookedly.Bottom denim leggings, big leather boots.Ronald was already waiting for her in advance, "This way."
Ronald took Madonna to the dressing room, "Can you do your own makeup?"
"Yes, you don't have to worry. I'm in the band, and I do it by myself before going on stage."
"Do you remember what I told you before? You were tricked by an unscrupulous director to make an adult movie. The script with lines will be given to you 5 minutes before the interview, and you will be behind Irene."
"Don't worry, I said I'm very experienced," Madonna replied, "The music industry is the same, it's full of liars."
Well, you make up first, and Ronald can't help but worry a little about whether she really understands the plot he revealed in advance.
When it came time to interview Erin Cara, the script given by the director was only two pages, with a sad story on it.
An unscrupulous director who makes adult movies finds CoCo, promises her the status of the heroine, and then invites her to "audition" at home.At the height of the girl's hopefulness, have her take off her top and take some "audition footage." In order to realize the dream, CoCo cried and did it.
Of course, during the audition, I won't really take off scenes, I just take off my jacket deliberately, and I'm still wearing underwear inside.
But when it came to the hands of director Alan Parker, he added a little more difficulty.The director had the two casting directors, the producers, and Ronald come in and watch the whole thing.Give the auditioned actors the greatest psychological pressure.
Taking off the pink one-neck T-shirt in front of strange men and women, leaving only the underwear behind, is not a big or small psychological burden for Irene Cara.
The director personally took the shot and read the lines behind the camera:
"Just sit here, and we will take a beautiful close-up of your beautiful face."
Eileen Cara made a delighted expression.
"Not bad," Ronald himself commented on the actor's smile.
"You don't know, CoCo, you have a great chemistry with the camera. Some people are born for the camera, they seem to be able to make love to the camera. Marilyn Monroe is like that, and so are you..." The director said his lines.
"Really?" Irene Cara played very well, and she squeezed out an awkward smile, as if she was embarrassed to hear the explicit words, and she was afraid that this is the way an artist speaks, and she would be laughed at if she protested .
"Take off your shirt."
"What? Are you kidding me?" Erin Cara acted out the shock.
"Of course not, what's wrong with you, like a stupid art high school student, I thought you were a professional. Is there any problem?" The director continued to read the lines.
Erin Cara began to unbutton the button, and CoCo, the character in the play, thought it was a normal procedure of audition, and she was about to take it off and cry, "I can't do it... ah..."
The character CoCo finally took off.
The audience at the audition scene, especially the producer and Ronald, the two male onlookers, put pressure on the actor Erin Cara to put her in the mood of the character and perform very well.
Irene bravely faced her heart, took off her T-shirt for the audition, put her hands on her chest, and cried under the eyes of everyone.
"Bravo!" The director applauded, expressing his satisfaction with the audition.
"How is it? My Erin girl, she is the best, she is the pride of our Latinos." Producer Da Silva took a long breath and announced to everyone with Erin in her arms, Caribbean Latino will have another superstar in acting, singing and dancing triathlon.
"Madonna Ciccone." Ronald went out to call someone.
"Don't be nervous, just perform according to your true colors. Didn't you say that you often encounter similar situations in the music industry? Just perform according to your life experience. I believe in you, you are the best!" Ronald said a few words of encouragement.
Madonna nodded, sat down on the audition stool generously, picked up the script and began to read.
"You just sit here, and we will take a beautiful close-up of your beautiful face." The director started the audition after 5 minutes, and he still played with the actors himself.
Madonna quickly changed her posture, presenting her most beautiful left half face to the camera at a 45-degree angle.
Ronald thought: "That's a good response, pretzels are gullible."
"You don't know, CoCo, you have a great chemistry with the camera. Some people are just born for the camera, like they can make love to the camera. Marilyn Monroe is like that, and so are you..."
"Really?" Madonna smiled brightly, her chin lifted slightly, imitating a classic Marilyn Monroe pose.It can be seen that she deliberately learned to imitate Monroe.
Surprisingly good.I didn't expect Madonna to look like Monroe from some angles, and the audience of the movie will definitely like it.The director seems to be smiling, and opportunities are beckoning.
"Take off your shirt."
"What? You're kidding, cowboy, aren't you?" Madonna didn't look shy or embarrassed when she said that, it was just...flirtatious.
"Of course not, what's wrong with you, you look like a stupid art high school student, I thought you were a professional. Is there any problem?" The director pouted, but continued to finish his lines.
Madonna's white T-shirt has no buttons, she simply took off the T-shirt, "I can do it...ah no, I can't..."
Ronald covered his face.
"Why did you act like that in the end? That's not shyness, that's flirting." In the discussion afterwards, Madonna was eliminated without accident. That kind of bold and unrestrained style may be suitable for playing a porn star.Ronald drove her home.
"Didn't you ask me to act according to my life experience?"
"Oh my God, you need to read the script. You started off fine, but then you end up flirting with the director. In the script, CoCo is a high school student who hasn't graduated yet."
“It was like this when I was in high school, I was doing somersaults in the hallway wearing a cheerleading miniskirt, and the boys would sneak a peek at my skirt, hahaha.”
"God, do you know you've been eliminated? I'm giving you a clue." Ronald couldn't bear her heartlessness.
"Of course," Madonna stopped smiling, and her expression became serious. "I'm used to it. I'm always rejected in auditions. I prefer acting to singing. But they all think I'm more talented in singing."
"But I'm 21 years old this year. If I don't start again, there is little hope of releasing an album in the future. In the music industry, good singles are taken away by others. I don't want to give up. I don't want to go back to my hometown town in Michigan, so I No opportunity will be missed."
"There are still some resident actors in this play. If you want, you can play the role in the chorus."
"The 'A Chorus Line' kind? I want to play the leading role."
Another girl with a strong ambition. "Singing and Dancing Line" is a Broadway musical, and it's about the sad life of a choir girl with a human background. It seems that she doesn't want to play this kind of role.
"Am I really bad at acting?" Madonna was silent for a while, then suddenly asked Ronald.
"Why do you ask?"
"When I came to New York last year, I had only $35 on me. I was working as a clerk in a donut shop and taking acting classes with the money I saved up as a backup dancer for famous dancers. But when I auditioned, I was always told no. You are the first One said my audition was okay." Madonna looked at Ronald in the rearview mirror.
"I didn't lie to you. Your acting style at the beginning was different from Irene Cara's, but it doesn't mean that your acting is worse than her. Her immature girl looking forward to the future is a kind of acting style. You just want to get into acting. The material girl in the circle is also a kind of acting."
"But then," Ronald shook his head, "your performance and lines were separated, so it's not surprising that you weren't selected."
"Why? Am I not good at acting? When I imitated Monroe, the director just stared at me."
"Okay is good, but it's not CoCo, it's yourself. Maybe you can't play someone else, Madonna. You can only play a role similar to yourself. Like a showgirl, or a porn star."
"It's really hard to play the leading role, and it's also difficult to get into the film industry. Maybe you first make a name for yourself in music, and then someone will ask you to play the leading role. It's like Olivia Newton-John, the heroine of 'Grease' , her song hit the charts first, and then the movie invited her."
Ronald said his opinion, and quickly sent Madonna to her simple apartment in the East Village.
"Keep working hard and you will succeed."
Madonna got out of the car and looked back at Ronald, "Come in for a cup of coffee?"
"This..." Ronald hesitated a little.
"You know, I've never had any friends like you who tell the truth that I'm good at acting, but they just want to sleep with me." Madonna looked at Ronald with her big eyes.
"Well, I hope you still have something to eat at home."
Entering through the dark and narrow porch, Madonna switched on the light with a snap.
"Sorry, I only have donuts here, and the clerk can take a few expired ones home for free every day."
"It's okay, I'd like some hot coffee."
A fiery kiss came up, and Madonna looked up at Ronald.
"Hey, you don't actually have to. I didn't let you get the part, so..." Ronald said.
Madonna put her hands around Ronald's neck, "Isn't it good that you did me a favor and I will repay you? Is it because you don't like me? Or do you not like women?"
"No, I just hope you don't find it unfair."
The girl looked up at him, then reached down, "But your body is saying another answer."
Ronald hugged the girl in his arms tightly and pushed her against the wall.
"Boom, boom, boom..."
The Italian guy next door started banging on the wooden wall in the middle of the apartment, swearing with a strong Italian accent.
"Fanculo! You've been pounding the wall for half an hour, Puttana. Tell you man to hurry up. Or my wall will break."
The morning sun shines on the windows of the apartment in Alphabet City in the East Village. The sun shines in through the gaps in the curtains and shines on the head of the bed.
"Honey, I have to go?" Ronald, who had finished showering and grooming, stood by the bed refreshed and said, looking at the sleepy-eyed girl.
"Goodbye." Madonna turned her head away from the sun.
The moment Ronald opened the door, Madonna's voice came: "I was told that in New York, having sex is a great way to meet new people. You are the best friend I've ever met."
Ronald started the car, pushed the button and lowered the windows, letting the sun and the breeze into the car.
"Is this just what you need? Have you matured like Margaery said?"
As soon as he gasped, he drove out of the apartment complex.
An Italian man was on the side of the road, pointing five fingers upwards and gesticulating to him non-stop: "One day, one day, I will ask the blond Puttana next door to pay for the repair of the wall.
