Chapter 258: Competing with the Best Supporting Actor in Cannes

"Then which part should we perform? Jeff, are you mentally prepared? How about we shoot the part you mentioned? The one where we talked about hamburgers in the car?" Quentin then turned to ask Shen Lang for his opinion.

Since it is a script comparison, Shen Lang must have a script in mind.

Otherwise, can you just improvise?

In Quentin's opinion, Shen Lang was only thinking about the casual chat about hamburger.

Unexpectedly, Shen Lang stretched out his hand: "Please choose, Samuel!"

When Quentin heard this, he was completely dumbfounded.

Do we really have to perform on the spot?
Samuel was also a little confused: "Any part is fine?"

"Of course!"

Samuel casually flipped through the script on the table, pointed to a paragraph and said, "This is it!"

"This" refers to the killers Jules and Vincent, who entered the homes of the guys who stole the old man's horse sand.

There is a black man in the house who is their mole.

There were two other people in the room, one lying on the sofa and the other eating breakfast.

In Quentin's script, this scene is about entering the door, and then Jules and Vincent ask the boss where the box is?
A few young men were stubborn and refused to say anything. Even though there was a mole inside the house, Jules refused to ask the mole where the goods were.

He and Vincent tortured the two young men and forced them to tell them the location of the box. Then they killed them, took the goods and left.

Can you see it?
This part of Quentin's script is the same plot that can be found in all gangster movies.

Nothing new at all.

Moreover, after cutting out the beginning and the end, all the audience knew after watching the show was that this group of people came to help the boss get his things back, and then what?

Then it was gone.

A lengthy interrogation and murder plot, do you expect this to attract the audience to continue watching?

The audience has no interest in seeing the end, so isn't your circular narrative shooting and editing method wasted?
Therefore, Shen Lang feels that Quentin's movies are good in general.

But fill it with something interesting!

Just like silicone!

Fortunately, all the actors except Vincent were there. I guess Quentin gathered several actors today because he wanted to audition Samuel.

"Originally, I was planning to guest-star as Vincent to cooperate with Samuel. Now you are here. Do you remember the script?" Quentin was still a little worried.

Shen Lang pointed to his head: "It's all in there!"

Quentin laughed and punched Shen Lang on the shoulder: "You are such a fool, girl!"

Seeing that he was still so heartless, Shen Lang smiled slightly and said, “I’ll let you know what true awesomeness means in a moment!”
When all the actors learned that the Chinese actor named Jeff was going to play the role of Vincent, they were a little surprised.

You know, Vincent is the leading actor in this play.

Haolaiwu is located in Los Angeles.

As the center of world cinema, there are Chinese actors here, but most of them play small and insignificant roles.

"Is this guy named Jeff okay?"

"She has delicate skin and tender flesh, and doesn't look like a killer at all!"

"Haha! Don't worry, he's just a supporting role. Didn't Quentin say that he wants to find a strong white actor to play this role?"

……

After Shen Lang and Samuel were ready, they stood at the door.

Quentin excitedly waved the script in his hand and said, "Begin!"

The door is open!

Shen Lang saw a black boy who looked very much like Mbappe opening the door.

In an instant, the villain's advanced acting skills were fully unleashed.

Everyone at the scene looked towards the two of them...

After all, Samuel is an actor who can win the Best Supporting Actor Award at Cannes. As soon as he appeared on the stage, his sharp eyes and natural expression instantly made Quentin nod with satisfaction.

For an actor, what is the most important thing when acting in a movie?
First of all, relax!

Only when you relax can you perform without leaving any traces. It must be said that Samuel is the kind of actor who is blessed by God.

When Quentin turned his head and looked at Shen Lang beside him.

"hiss……"

Quentin stared at Shen Lang in surprise, and felt that at this moment, Shen Lang seemed like a completely different person.

His lips were pursed, but not in the subconscious way that one does when nervous. Instead, his lips were pursed naturally in a relaxed manner.

Although he looked relaxed, it was this expression, coupled with the movement of his eyes scanning the room when he opened the door.

Yes, it was these two details that immediately made Quentin think of the word “professional killer”.

Just by appearing on the screen, Shen Lang used his acting skills to tell everyone the resume of his character.

"This Chinese guy obviously didn't stare like Samuel, but why do I think he is more terrifying?"

"Have you noticed that the air has become colder since the appearance of this Chinese man named Jeff?"

"This Chinese guy's acting is pretty good! He's on par with Samuel! Where did Quentin find this guy?"

……

There was a lot of discussion at the scene.

But the show goes on.

Shen Lang walked to the open kitchen in the house. In front of him were the two young white actors he was acting with and Mbappe who played the traitor.

However, in this scene, Samuel has more roles, and Shen Lang is just a background member.

He was really just a background board. In the storyboards designed by the director, he was always a blurred character. The real subjects of the filming were Jules and the two white boys.

"Where are Masha's things?"

"I don't know, I don't know what you're talking about?" One of the boys who was eating breakfast looked at Jules timidly.

Samuel turned sideways and looked down at the boy: "Little bastard, Masha doesn't like his things being taken away by a few little bastards, understand?"

"But we didn't take it. Did you find the wrong person?"

Shen Lang watched the performance in the room, and even he had to admit that this old black man Samuel did have some stuff.

His acting is not exaggerated, and his emotional control is very good. He hits the right emotional point for almost every line that needs to be expressed.

However, as I said before, the plot is too cliché.

Once the other party starts talking, we will start to force a confession.

According to Quentin's design, Jules, played by Samuel, was first beaten up, and then Vincent pointed a loaded gun at the head of the man on the sofa.

But the breakfast man’s mouth is harder than a twenty-year-old iron pot.

Finally, Vincent shot the couch man to death, which made the breakfast man speak.

Afterwards, the two of them emptied their bullets at the breakfast man.

The scene ends.

Just as Jules was questioning, Shen Lang suddenly took out a box of cigarettes from somewhere, lit it in front of everyone, put the cigarette in his mouth, took out a prop gun from his waist, loaded it and walked towards the man on the sofa.

When Quentin saw Shen Lang's detailed and vivid performance, he sighed in his heart. This was exactly what Vincent looked like in his mind.

He looks a bit cool and handsome, with a cigarette dangling from the corner of his mouth.

He was a bit ruthless and had no expression on his face. He was smoking while loading the bullet.

Professional killer, Shen Lang picked up the prop and lightly shot the man on the sofa.

awesome!
Everyone was attracted by Shen Lang's acting skills, including Samuel.

Fortunately, it was an audition, so Shen Lang turned and looked at Samuel.

Samuel then remembered that he still had lines to say.

"You bastard, I want you to tell me in person where Masha's things are, where they are..."

Hysteria, emotional outbursts.
