Chapter 67: Waiting anxiously

(Please recommend votes)

After hearing Tom Hanks' question, it was not difficult for Matthew to understand that if this question was answered, he would add points to himself. He could see that Tom Hanks seemed to be satisfied with his performance.

If the answer is not good, you will definitely lose points.

In both the original work and the memoir, there are rumors that Ronald Spears killed German prisoners of war, but the rumors are always rumors. None of the two materials have been said to have been precisely said that Ronald Spears killed prisoners of war.

Tom Hanks's problem is to assume that Ronald Spears killed the prisoners of war and let him express his opinion on this matter.

Standing in the current peaceful era, killing prisoners of war is simply despised and is a reference to thousands of people.

From a humanitarian standpoint, it should be condemned, and both man and God are angry.

But as an actor auditioning for Ronald Spears, Matthew felt that he could never answer questions from these two positions, nor could he consider them from his own perspective, but as a paratrooper who had just arrived in France. To be precise, it was based on the assumption that Ronald Spears had killed prisoners of war!

In just a moment, some descriptions of the battlefield situation in the original novel that Matthew had read seven or eight times appeared in his mind.

This is a role audition, and Tom Hanks is still waiting, and he doesn't have much time to think about it.

"I think..." Matthew said, "in the circumstances at that time, this was the wisest way to deal with it."

"Have you read the original work?"

Seeing Matthew nodding, Tom Hanks asked again, "Combining the original work, let's talk about why."

"At that time, the troops had just stood on French land. I don't know whether they would be subjected to counterattack the next day and were driven into the sea." Matthew considered completely from the perspective of an iron-blooded soldier. "At that time, we either asked airplanes to take prisoners of war to the unestablished prisoner camp, either release them, or execute them on the spot."

He further said, "But the first step is impossible to achieve. They are just paratroopers, and they are paratroopers who go deep behind enemy lines. As for the release of prisoners of war, this choice is even worse. Who knows whether they will return to the German system again? Maybe someone released will take the life of the brothers around them."

Tom Hanks suddenly thought of Urban and couldn't help but nod.

The more Matthew said, the clearer his thinking was, "According to the original description, the troops were unable to deal with these prisoners of war at that time. They were about to reach the assembly point and then devoted themselves to the battle to attack the 88-aircraft position. Staying the prisoners of war is a hidden danger, and sending them away requires consuming combat power, so the most rational way is to execute them on the spot."

In fact, the memoir, which uses light or dark techniques, has been mentioned more than once. In the early stages of landing, especially paratroopers that penetrate deep behind enemy lines, did not require captives.

The memoirs that Matthew had read played a role at this time.

"Okay." Tom Hanks said to the casting director, "I'm done with my questions."

The casting director nodded, and saw that no one expressed his opinion, and said to Matthew, "Mr. Matthew Horner, you can leave. We will notify your agent tomorrow when the audition result will be given."

Matthew said politely, turned around and left the audition room, followed the corridor and returned to the door of the modeling room.

Just like when he was going to the audition, he didn't see Helen Hermann and didn't know where she went.

Matthew returned to the styling room, and with the assistance of an assistant dressmaker, he took off his equipment, changed back to his clothes, washed away the little makeup on his face, and walked out directly.

It was only less than twenty minutes before Matthew had just left the styling room and saw Helen Hermann, who was standing near the door and walking back and forth.

"Let's go." Helen Hermann saw Matthew and greeted him. He walked out of the studio first. Matthew followed him. After the two left the studio, she asked, "Is the audition going well?"

"It feels OK," Matthew said as he walked, repeating the audition, "Tom Hanks asked me several questions, and his attitude seemed to be particularly good."

Helen Herman nodded slightly, "This is a good phenomenon. I just went to inquire about the three actors in front of you. Tom Hanks didn't say a word."

Matthew was in spirit, "Isn't Tom Hanks interested in them?"

"It's very likely." Helen Hermann took the lead in Warner Studios, "but only he knows what Tom Hanks thinks."

Matthew followed out of the set door, "They said they will notify you of the audition results tomorrow, and when will we get the news as soon as possible."

Helen Hermann came to the side of the car, opened the door of the driver's seat, and said, "Generally speaking, I'll give you a notice tomorrow morning."

"It's going to be tomorrow morning." Matthew turned to the passenger side, "The feeling of waiting is very painful."

In nearly a month, he did almost nothing. He even took leave and did not go for performance classes and language classes at the Los Angeles Performing Arts School. He focused on preparing for the audition for the role of Ronald Spears. Now that the audition is over, judging from the on-site situation, it seems that it is still ideal, but he cannot know the result immediately. For someone who urgently needs this role, that kind of feeling is really uncomfortable.

Helen Herman got into the car and saw Matthew getting into the co-pilot without any hesitation, and asked, "Where are you going?"

"Angelic Agency." Matthew tied up his seat belt, "Your office. I have someone to chat with you, and time passes faster."

Helen Herman started the car and said directly, "I'm very busy."

She is not only Matthew's agent, but also acts in the business of other actors.

"It's okay." Matthew said casually, "I'll go find Amanda..."

Speaking of this, he suddenly realized that Amanda had left Los Angeles and returned to New York. If he calculated the time, he might be at Cambridge University.

"Amanda has arrived in the UK." Helen Herman's voice sounded next to him, "You can see her when you get the role and go to the UK to shoot a movie."

She turned around and the car turned into another street, "There is a news, maybe you will be interested."

Matthew was a little surprised. When did Helen Hermann's toothpaste-squeezing speech change? He couldn't help but ask, "What news?"

Helen Hermann said with a rare pleasure, "Sony Columbia Pictures just confirmed a few days ago that "The Soul Girl" will be officially released in North America from December 8. It is said that they are planning a premiere."

This is the first film that Matthew starred in, and it is very impressive.

"Don't you have something to do with Angelina Jolie?" Helen Hermann said her purpose. "Contact her and go to the premiere to walk the red carpet and don't let people forget you."

"I'm afraid it's difficult." Matthew shrugged helplessly, "I've settled her and her assistant some time ago, but no one answered the answer."

Helen Herman asked again, "Where is Winona Ryder? I remember you said you knew her too."

"I guess she doesn't want to see me even more." Matthew wouldn't explain to her, so he simply said, "I'll call Angelina Jolie again, maybe I can go and take the premiere red carpet."

In fact, Helen Hermann does not need too much reminder, he also knows that he needs to try his best to increase his popularity.

"It's better to contact her." Helen Herman revealed another news, "As far as I know, Sony Columbia Pictures is interested in shooting a big-produced action adventure movie with women as the absolute protagonist. Angelina Jolie is very likely to be the heroine and producer. If you can connect with Julie, you might get a good supporting role."

Matthew was instantly motivated, "I'll try it, probably Angelina Jolie still remembers me."

The office building of Angel Brokerage was not far from Warner Studios. Before the meeting, the car arrived at the three-story building.

Today, the agency has become a bit large. In addition to Helen Hermann, there are four entertainment agents, but the clients are basically insignificant role actors and temporary actors.

Matthew really didn't want to wait alone, so he simply asked someone to chat in the company to pass the boring and anxious waiting time.

Before we knew it, it was getting darker and the audition for Warner Studios was coming to an end. Tom Hanks packed up his things, left the audition room through the back door, and came to his office, and found that another producer of the crew, Gary Gotzman, was waiting for him.

"How are you there?" asked Tom Hanks.

"It's going well," Gary Gotzman said with a smile. "The Damian Lewis you and Steven recommend are perfect for this role."

Tom Hanks pulled out the chair and sat down, "That's good."

The male protagonist came from his and Spielberg's recommendation. In order to avoid suspicion, the audition was specially handed over to Gary Gotzman.

Gary Gotzman asked Tom Hanks again, "Where are you?"

Tom Hanks just picked up the water cup with one hand, and with the other hand, he simply pushed the stack of actor information in front of Gary Gotzman, "You can see it yourself."

Gary Gotzman flipped the information and browsed it quickly. When he saw one of them, he suddenly stopped and asked in surprise, "You actually played four stars in this person!"

"A young actor who is very suitable for playing tough soldiers." Tom Hanks put down his water cup and said, "He left the most impressive impression on me among all the people who audition today. You go and check the audition video. If you have no objection, I will let him know tomorrow."

Gary Gotzman stood up and returned the information to Tom Hanks, saying, "I'll go and have a look."

As night fell, Matthew returned to his apartment in Ximu District. After taking a shower, he lay on the bed and continued to search for information. His phone suddenly rang. He picked up and took a look, pressed the answer button, and said, "Hi, Bubu."

The call came from Britney, "Hi, Matthew, did you pass the audition?"

"I don't know yet, there may be specific news tomorrow."
