Chapter 102 The foundation of the old drama bone
Sitting in front of the makeup mirror, Matthew moved his wrist. It had been more than twenty minutes. The makeup artist was still dealing with his wig. He was really bored and couldn't help but turn his head to look to the right. In front of the four dressing tables arranged in a row, there were two empty. On the far right, there were male actors in his early twenties sitting.
The door of the dressing room opened at this time, and the staff brought an extremely tall and strong actor to the dressing table next to Matthew and said, "Mr. Johnson, you sit for a while, I'll inform the makeup artist to come."
After the staff left, Dwayne Johnson did not sit down immediately, but instead looked around curiously.
Matthew was also looking at him curiously, and estimated that this man should be around 1.95 meters tall, and his explosive muscles could be displayed extremely clearly even when he was wearing clothes.
Dwayne Johnson immediately noticed Matthew, and a smile appeared on his face that looked like a rock. He was about to reach out and saw Matthew making a styling, and then shrank back and said, "Hello, I'm Dwayne Johnson."
Perhaps it was because he was just a newcomer to the movie industry or perhaps because of the demeanor he had developed into a famous star, Dwayne Johnson looked very friendly.
Matthew replied with a smile and introduced himself, "I am Matthew Horner."
Unlike what he remembers, Dwayne Johnson is not bald yet.
Another makeup artist arrived soon, and the first step of work was to do wigs. Dwayne Johnson sat steadily for a while, probably also felt bored. He looked around and his eyes fell on Matthew again.
"Hi man." He asked when Matthew looked over, "Speak to the accent, are you not a Californian, are you?"
Matthew replied directly, "Texan."
"Oh..." Dwayne Johnson said in a joking tone, "Don't mess with Texas."
"Why haven't I heard of it?" Matthew asked curiously, "There is still such a saying?"
Dwayne Johnson pointed to his head, "I just made it up."
After saying that, he cracked his mouth and laughed, and Matthew also laughed. Both of them held back their laughter as the makeup artist was dealing with the wig.
Only then did Matthew realize that Dwayne Johnson seemed to be a very interesting person.
"It's a surprise." Matthew has always been very good at having relationships. Seeing that Dwayne Johnson seemed to be easy to get along with, he said, "You surprised me."
Dwayne Johnson didn't understand, "What accident?"
Matthew kept his body still, just flipped his mouth, "You are such a big star and you can still joke with people."
"What star am I?" Dwayne Johnson was very modest. "This is my first time in a movie audition, and I don't know if it will succeed."
"You must have failed." Matthew said deliberately, "because I must be the one who succeeds!"
Dwayne Johnson was not angry or excited, "So confident? Matthew, can I call you that? Well, Matthew, I am a good person, there is one thing I never give up."
Matthew laughed twice and said, "Sorry, I'm such a person too."
It happened that both of them had gone to the dressing table to pick up things. Matthew and Dwayne Johnson looked at each other and laughed at the same time.
When the makeup artist came back, Dwayne Johnson dissipated his smile and asked, "I often watch movies, why have I never seen you?"
Matthew wanted to shrugg, but he held back, saying, "I haven't seen your game, I don't know how you won the championship."
There were only four actors who entered the audition with makeup, so he didn't believe that Dwayne Johnson hadn't seen their information.
The makeup artist was busy, and Matthew and Dwayne Johnson were not idle either, and had a chat without a word.
Although Dwayne Johnson showed that humans and animals were harmless, Matthew was always three-pointer alert, after all, the two were direct competitors.
In this circle, it took him nearly a year to build trust between them.
An hour and a half later, Matthew and Dwayne Johnson finished their wigs one after another, and the makeup artist temporarily left to prepare other cosmetics. The two sat on the chairs and waited for the wig 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 remembers that he was named Dark Monster, a senior actor who has worked hard in Hollywood for more than ten years but has not become famous. He 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 too late, interrupting everyone's work."
"It's okay." Matthew smiled, "Thank you."
Dark Monster looked very good at being a human being, and then handed Dwayne Johnson a bottle, "It's too hot, drink some water to quench your thirst."
Dwayne Johnson also accepted the mineral water, "Thank you very much."
Dark Monster soon gave each person a bottle of mineral water, even the makeup artist and the staff who brought him in were no exception.
Finally, he came to the empty dressing table and sat down, took out the remaining bottle of mineral water, unscrewed it and took a big sip.
Matthew glanced at Dark Monster, and did not move the bottle of mineral water. He placed it directly on the dressing table in front of him, and did not intend to drink it at all.
Dwayne Johnson first looked at the mineral water, then looked at Matthew, and put the mineral water on the dressing table. Then he turned to look at Matthew, who was just turning around and Johnson shrugged and smiled.
Matthew also shrugged and smiled, then looked to the right. The actor on the far right was unscrewing the bottle, tilting his head and taking a sip.
Seeing this, he said nothing. He vaguely remembered that in 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 next to him put away their minds and worked hard to put on makeup with the makeup artist.
This is an audition for wearing makeup. Whether the actor matches the role depends not only on himself, but also on the makeup artist and costume designer. If the other party deliberately makes a makeup that is not consistent with the actor's appearance, the consequences can be imagined...
Basically no one will do this. The directors, casting directors and producers who lead the audition are all experienced. Once they find that the makeup artists and other behind-the-scenes staff are messed up, they will definitely lose their jobs and will be reported by the crew to their respective industry unions. It will be difficult to find a job in the future, and it can be said that the loss is not worth it.
After Matthew finished his makeup, he went to the costumer to change his clothes, and received a weird-shaped weapon from the prop group. When he came back, the actor on the far right happened to complete his full look and went to the audition room to audition under the guidance of the staff.
The young actor looks energetic and seems to have no problems.
With the help of the makeup artist, he completed all the looks, and Matthew sat naked in front of the makeup mirror and waited. He was the second person to audition, then Dwayne Johnson, and finally Dark Monster.
Matthew crossed Dwayne Johnson and glanced at Dark Monster again, feeling that he might have been thinking too much. He probably had been lying on the bottom for too long and had seen many dark things. He also reminded him from time to time that he always subconsciously thought about the people in this circle to the disadvantages.
Maybe Dark Monster really expressed his apology in this way because he came late? Besides, he also gave the makeup artist mineral water. If the makeup artist has any problems, wouldn’t there be even people who put on his makeup?
Even though he thought so, Matthew still didn't mean to move the bottle of mineral water. Not only him, but also Dwayne Johnson, the makeup artists of the two of them did not move either.
His eyes accidentally floated over another bottle of mineral water on the dressing table. This was what the makeup artist took and placed here. Matthew found that the trademark of mineral water was different from his own bottle. One bottle was a dark blue trademark and the other was a purple trademark.
I took a closer look and found that these are two mineral waters of the same brand.
Matthew looked at the dressing table in front of Dwayne Johnson again, which also had two bottles of water on it, one with a dark blue trademark and the other with a purple trademark.
"It's not such a coincidence, right?" Matthew muttered himself.
He glanced at Dark Monster again, and the other party was sitting in front of the makeup mirror, allowing the makeup artist to take care of his wig...
Matthew curled his lips, "Is this the foundation of a ten-year-old actor?"
Footsteps came from outside the door, and a staff member pushed the door and walked in, "Matthew Horner! It's your turn, come with me to the audition room!"
Matthew picked up his weapon, stood up, looked at the makeup mirror, and the makeup artist came over to do the final inspection. After confirming that there was no problem, he followed the staff out and walked towards the audition room.
Walking behind the staff, Matthew asked tentatively, "The interview was so fast before?"
"Don't mention, that person's stomach was damaged..." The staff member shook his head, "I have to go to the bathroom at the beginning of the audition, twice in a row, how could the director and producer wait all the time?"
The audition room was right in front, and Matthew didn't say anything else and strode in.
In the dressing room, Dwayne Johnson dried his wigs and went to the costume group and prop group one after another. After returning, he found that all the mineral water on the dressing table was gone.
"Where is the water?" he deliberately asked Dark Monster on the right, "I'm thirsty, why are I missing."
Dark Monster's cheeks shook slightly and said with a smile, "Just just now, the cleaner came to clean up and all of them were taken away."
