Chapter 102 The Foundation of the Old Drama Bone
Sitting in front of the makeup mirror, Matthew moved his wrists. It had been more than 20 minutes. The makeup artist was still working on the wig. He was really bored, so he couldn't help turning his head to look to the right. In front of the four dressing tables in a row, There were two empty seats, and on the far right was an actor in his early twenties.
The door of the dressing room opened at this time, and the staff brought an unusually tall and strong actor to the dressing table next to Matthew and said, "Mr. Johnson, sit down for a while, and I will notify the makeup artist to come over. ."
After the staff left, Dwayne Johnson didn't sit down immediately, but looked around curiously.
Matthew was also looking at him curiously. He estimated in his heart that this man should be around 1.95 meters. His exploding muscles could be clearly shown even when he was wearing clothes.
Dwayne Johnson immediately noticed Matthew, with a smile on his rock-like face, he was about to reach out, saw Matthew doing the modeling, then shrank back and said, "Hello, I'm Dawn- Johnson."
Maybe it's his first entry into the film industry, or maybe it's the tolerance developed by a famous star, Dwayne Johnson looks very friendly.
Matthew smiled back and introduced himself, "I'm Matthew Horner."
Unlike what he remembered, Dwayne Johnson is not yet bald.
Another makeup artist arrived soon, and the first job was to make wigs. Dushi Qiangsen sat for a while, probably feeling bored, looked around, and his eyes fell on Matthew again.
"Hey man," he asked when Matthew looked over. "Listen to the accent, aren't you from California?"
Matthew replied directly, "Texan."
"Oh..." Dwayne Johnson said in a joking tone, "Don't mess with the Texans."
"Why haven't I heard of it." Matthew asked curiously, "Is there such a saying?"
Dwayne Johnson pointed to his head, "I just made it up."
After speaking, he opened his mouth and laughed, and Matthew laughed too. Since the makeup artist was working on the wig, both of them were forced to laugh.
Only then did Matthew discover that Dwayne Johnson seems to be a very interesting person.
"It's a surprise." Matthew has always been very good at relationships. Seeing that Dwayne Johnson seems to get along well, he said, "You surprised me."
Dwayne Johnson didn't understand, "What accident?"
Matthew kept his body still, just flipped his lips, "You are such a big star, you can still joke with people."
"What kind of star am I?" Dwayne Johnson was very modest, "This is my first time to audition for a movie, and I don't know if I can succeed."
"You must fail." Matthew said deliberately, "because the one who succeeded must be me!"
Dwayne Johnson didn't get angry or excited, "So confident? Matthew, can I call you that? Well, Matthew, I'm good at everything, except for one thing, I never admit defeat."
Matthew laughed twice and said, "Sorry, that's me too."
Just as the makeup artists of the two went to the dressing table to get things, Matthew and Dwayne Johnson looked at each other and laughed at the same time.
When the makeup artist came back, Dwayne Johnson lost his smile and asked, "I often watch movies, why have I never seen you?"
Matthew wanted to shrug, but held back and said, "I haven't watched your games, so I don't know how you won the championship."
There were only four actors who entered the audition with makeup, so he couldn't believe that Dwayne Johnson didn't read their materials.
The makeup artist was busy, and Matthew and Dwayne Johnson were not idle either, chatting without a word.
Although Dwayne Johnson's performance is harmless to humans and animals, Matthew has always maintained a three-point vigilance. After all, the two are direct competitors.
In this circle, it is unacceptable to trust others, even he and Helen Herman, it took nearly a year for the two of them to establish mutual trust.
After an hour and a half,
Matthew and Dwayne Johnson's wigs were finished one after another, and the makeup artist temporarily left to prepare other cosmetics. The two sat on the chairs and waited for the wigs to dry.
The dressing room door opened again at this time, and the last actor walked in. Matthew's eyes floated over there, guessing that the other party should be the last person to go to the audition room.
"Hello everyone……"
The last actor, Matthew, remembered that he was called Dark Munster. He was a veteran actor who had worked hard in Hollywood for more than ten years and still did not become famous. This man smiled and greeted everyone in the dressing room with a smile.
He took out a bottle of mineral water from his handbag, first came to Matthew, who was closest to the door, and gave him a bottle of water, "Sorry, the traffic jam on the road was late, and everyone's work was interrupted."
"It's okay." Matthew smiled, "Thank you."
Duck Munster looked very manly, and then handed Dwayne Johnson a bottle, "It's too hot, drink something to quench your thirst."
Dwayne Johnson also accepted the mineral water, "Thank you very much."
Duck-Munster was quick to deliver a bottle of mineral water to everyone, including the makeup artist and the staff who brought him in.
Finally, he sat down in front of the empty dressing table, took out the remaining bottle of mineral water, twisted it open and took a sip.
Matthew glanced at Duck Munster, didn't move the bottle of mineral water, put it directly on the dressing table in front of him, and didn't plan to drink it at all.
Dwayne Johnson looked at the mineral water first, then Matthew, and put the mineral water on the dressing table, then he turned to look at Matthew, Matthew turned his head and looked over, Johnson shrugged and laughed smiled.
Matthew also shrugged and smiled, then looked to the right, the actor on the far right was unscrewing the bottle, raised his head and took a sip.
Seeing this, he didn't say anything. He vaguely remembered that according to the information he had read, the actor seemed to have entered the industry later than him, but his family background was good, and his development was much smoother.
The two makeup artists came back one after another. Matthew and Dwayne Johnson, who was next to them, put their minds away and cooperated with the makeup artist to make up.
This is an audition with makeup. Whether the actor matches the role depends not only on himself, but also the makeup artist and costumer. If the other party deliberately puts on a makeup that is not commensurate with the appearance of the actor, the consequences can be imagined...
Basically no one would do this. The directors, casting directors and producers who lead the audition are all experienced. Once they find out that the makeup artist and other behind-the-scenes staff are making a fool of themselves, they will definitely lose their jobs and will be reflected by the crew to their respective locations. If there is a trade union in the industry, it will be difficult to find a job in the future. It can be said that the gains outweigh the losses.
Matthew finished his make-up, went to the costumer to change his clothes, and received a weapon with a strange shape from the props team. When he came back, the actor on the far right just finished all the modeling, and was led by the staff to the audition room to audition.
The young actor looked in good spirits, as if nothing was wrong.
With the help of the makeup artist, the whole look was completed, and Matthew was so topless, sitting in front of the vanity mirror and waiting, he was the second person to audition, then Dwayne Johnson, and finally Dak Munster .
Matthew passed Dwayne Johnson and glanced at Duck Munster again, thinking that he might be thinking too much, maybe he had been at the bottom for too long, and he had seen a lot of dark things. Reminder, he always subconsciously thinks bad about people in this circle.
Maybe Duck Munster really apologized in this way for being late? Besides, he also gave the makeup artist mineral water. If there is a problem with the makeup artist, wouldn't there be no one to give him makeup?
Even so, Matthew still didn't mean to move the bottle of mineral water. Not only him, but Dwayne Johnson didn't move either, nor did their makeup artists.
Inadvertently, his eyes drifted over the other bottle of mineral water on the dressing table. It was placed here after the makeup artist took it. Matthew found that the trademark of the mineral water was different from his own bottle. One bottle was a dark blue trademark. The other bottle is the purple logo.
Taking a closer look again, these are two types of mineral water from the same brand.
Matthew looked at the dressing table in front of Dwayne Johnson again. There were also two bottles of water on it, one with a dark blue logo and the other with a purple logo.
"It wouldn't be so coincidental, would it?" Matthew muttered to himself.
He glanced at Duck Munster secretly again, and the old man was sitting in front of the makeup mirror, letting the makeup artist take care of his wig...
Matthew's mouth ticked, "Is this the foundation of the ten-year-old drama?"
Footsteps came from outside the door, and a staff member pushed the door and walked in, "Matthew Horner! It's your turn, follow me to the audition room!"
Matthew picked up his weapon, stood up, and looked at the makeup mirror. The makeup artist also came over to do the final inspection. After confirming that there was no problem, he followed the staff out and walked to the audition room.
Walking behind the staff, Matthew asked tentatively, "So fast for the interview?"
"Don't mention it, that person had a bad stomach..." The staff shook his head, "I have to go to the toilet a while after the audition, twice in a row, how could the director and the producer keep waiting?"
The audition room was right in front, and Matthew walked in without saying anything.
In the dressing room, Dwayne Johnson dried the wig, and went to the costume group and the props group successively. When he came back, he found that the mineral water on the dressing table was all gone.
"Where's the water?" he deliberately asked Duck Munster on the right, "I'm thirsty and I'm gone."
Dak Munster's cheeks trembled slightly, and he said with a smile, "The cleaner just came to clean up, and it's all taken away."
Dwayne Johnson nodded and said nothing.
