Chapter 94 Natalie Arrives
"Cut! Great job, Scarlett. I think you're completely qualified to be an actress now." Song Tang interrupted Scarlett's performance as she was fully immersed in her role.
"Really? Tong, you've decided to choose me as the heroine of the film?" Scarlett heard Song Tang's words and suddenly jumped up excitedly, also casting a triumphant glance at Kayla who was waiting aside with a disappointed look in her eyes.
"No! No! Scarlett, I don't think you've understood my meaning yet. I'm saying that you have a great talent for acting, but this doesn't necessarily mean that this role is yours. Can you understand what I'm saying? Scarlett!" Song Tang looked at Scarlett's joyful face and still decided to give her a warning shot beforehand. After all, in Song Tang's heart, the role of Martida was not Scarlett's best fit, although she had performed very well just now.
"I totally get it, you mean if no one else can do a better job than me, then the role is mine, right, Tang?" Scarlett was slightly disappointed but still very excited to have received Song Tang's affirmation.
"Alright, Scarlett, you can understand it that way too, but let's talk about it later. Now it's Kayla's turn! Kayla, are you ready?" Song Tang looked over and asked loudly at the anxious-looking Kayla.
"Of course, I've been waiting for this moment!" Kayla heard that Song Tang had finally let her go on stage, and she was suddenly excited. Just a moment ago, Kayla thought she didn't have a chance, but happiness came so suddenly, which made Kayla secretly determined not to lose to Scarlett. Thinking of this, Kayla looked at Scarlett with a firm gaze, then slowly walked to Song Tang's side, took a few deep breaths, and slowly closed her eyes, imagining what Song Tang had said earlier.
Song Tang glanced at the two little loli who were competing with each other, feeling a bit helpless and amused. Looking at Kayla beside him who was thinking with her eyes tightly closed, Song Tang did not disturb Kayla's thoughts, waiting for her performance.
Keira didn't keep Song Tang waiting for long, and soon Keira opened her eyes. However, the expression in Keira's eyes was no longer the same as before, but instead looked at Song Tang with a mixture of helplessness, anger, and a hint of fear: "Lion, are you an assassin? Why?"
"Yes, as you see, Matilda, I am an assassin, a killer who lives in the dark of night, my hands are stained with blood." Song Tang looked at Kayla's reaction and was taken aback for a moment. He really didn't expect that Kayla's acting skills were not inferior to Scarlett's at all. However, soon Song Tang reacted and stared straight at Kayla, saying in a low voice...
After hearing Song Tang's words, Kayla was stunned, then lowered her head and thought for a while before saying: "We are friends, aren't we, Leon?"
"I think so!"
"You'll help me, won't you, Leon?"
"As long as you're willing."
“。。。”
And so, the two of them asked and answered each other, and thus completed the performance of this segment. After finishing her performance, Kayla returned to where she was standing earlier, quietly waiting for Song Tang's evaluation. Meanwhile, Scarlett, who had just finished watching Kayla's performance, no longer had the self-satisfied expression from earlier. To be honest, Kayla's performance wasn't any worse than her own. If she hadn't read the script beforehand, she definitely wouldn't have performed as well as she did. And yet, Kayla was able to bring Martina to life with just a brief introduction from Song Tang, which showed just how high her acting talent was.
Song Tang looked at the two standing in front of him, both with tense expressions, Scarlett and Kayla. Song Tang couldn't help but feel a little amused. He glanced up at Menie Sloan and Samantha McDonald, the mothers of Scarlett and Kayla, but it was clear that neither of them was particularly interested in their daughters' audition today. Although they knew their daughters had talent for acting, both mothers also knew that entering the entertainment industry at such a young age wasn't necessarily a good thing, so they showed little enthusiasm for the matter.
"Scarlett, Kayla, you two are great and also very suitable for the entertainment industry. However, you should understand that you two are still very young, it's not appropriate to enter the entertainment industry so early." Song Tang couldn't help but praise the two girls' talent after watching their performance, but honestly speaking, if they were four or five years older, anyone could play this role, the key is that the two of them are just...
"Really? Tong!"
"Really? Director!"
After hearing Song Tang praise himself as excellent, the two little girls suddenly asked excitedly, but after listening to it, Song Tang secretly shook his head. Apparently, Scarlett and Kayla only heard the previous part and did not hear the content afterwards.
"Dong dong~~~"
Just as Song Tang didn't know how to explain things to the two of them, a knock at the door suddenly came from the entrance. Song Tang and others turned their heads to look, only to see a girl about 13 or 14 years old, wearing a snow-white dress, with brown hair casually draped over her shoulders, charming and lovely.
"Hello, I'm Natalie, Natalie Portman. I heard you're selecting a female lead here, may I ask if I can participate?" Natalie said, looking at the crowd that was staring at her, introducing herself with confidence.
"Natalie Portman?" Looking at the girl standing at the door, who was a bit tender but already showing signs of development, with a petite and delicate figure, Song Tang felt a thrill of excitement. Wasn't this the original female lead from "This Hitman Isn't Too Cold"?
Natalie Portman was born on June 9, 1981 in Jerusalem, Israel. At the age of three, she moved with her family to New York. She has a happy family, her mother is an artist and her father is a famous doctor. Born into a Jewish immigrant family, she is the only child in the family and is very close to her parents. Portman started learning dance at the age of 4 and performed in local dance troupes. This experience helped Natalie develop an independent personality, which is also why she came alone to audition for the female lead role in a movie directed by Luc Besson, and still appeared elegant and poised.
"Of course." Song Tang let Scarlett and Kayla wait aside for the time being, then invited Natalie in and said after carefully sizing her up.
"That's great, I've always wanted to get into the film industry, but never had the chance! Can you tell me what I should do?" Natalie asked excitedly after hearing Song Tang's words.
"Of course, beautiful Miss Natalie, the thing is, the role I chose is a female lead in a movie called 'This Hitman Is Not So Cold', the little girl's name is Matilda, age... um! about your size, but..." Song Tang then told Natalie the plot of the story again in detail.
Looking at Natalie who was listening carefully and pondering, Song Tang asked: "Can you understand the plot, Natalie?"
"No problem at all, director! Can I start now?" Natalie thought for a moment and asked Song Tang with confidence in her eyes.
"If you're ready, let's get started now. Just do it your way, I'm the killer Leon!" Song Tang nodded, indicating that Natali could begin.
"Lyon, I think I've matured already, it's just my age that's growing!"
“。。。”
"Is life always so difficult, or is it just childhood?"
"It's always like this!"
。。。
"Matilda - don't you ever do this again or I'll blow your head off - did you hear me?"
"If it were me, I wouldn't have done it that way, that's unprofessional, this line of work has its own set of rules."
"And stop always saying 'Okay', okay?!?!" Song Tang said with some anger.
Looking at Song Tang's angry face, Natalie remained calm and composed, saying: "Okay."
。。。。。。
"You're really great, Natalie. I didn't expect to be brought into the play by you." Song Tang couldn't help but exclaim after cooperating with Natalie to finish this part of the performance.
Although Natalie's acting talent may not be much higher than Scarlett and Keira, Natalie is after all a few years older than Scarlett and Keira, and her life experience is also richer than the two. This led to Natalie being more natural when grasping Martita's character, and after watching Natalie's performance, Song Tang had already made up his mind about who to choose.
But now he still had to tell the two little girls beside him about this matter, thinking of this, Song Tang shifted his gaze towards Scarlett and Kayla.
However, there were still Scarlett and Keira, who were very young but also eager to get the role. After taking them to see Natalie's performance, the two little girls had to admit that Natalie was indeed better than themselves in playing Matilda. Although they were a bit disappointed, they could accept it!
"Tang, we have a relationship, but you have to promise me that when I grow up a bit in the future, you must write a script for me?" Scarlett said with a smile as she saw Song Tang's gaze fall on herself.
"I am too, director?" Kayla no longer had the mind to fight with Scarlett now.
Song Tang looked at the two little girls, although a smile appeared on his face, but the disappointment in his eyes was still visible. For a moment, Song Tang couldn't help but feel a sense of regret. However, he quickly assured the two that he would tailor-make a few movies for them in the future, which made them truly happy.
"Alright, congratulations, Natalie. I'm sure Martita will be yours!" Song Tang said with a smile after calming down the two little girls and turning to face Natalie.
