Because there was no specific script, the plot performed by Benedict Cumberbatch was very different from that performed by James.
"Waver Velvet."
Benedict Cumberbatch slapped the white paper used as a prop on the podium, making it snap.
"Can you explain what this is?"
"I..."
Just as Waver, played by Tom Hiddleston, was about to speak, he was rudely interrupted by Benedict Cumberbatch.
"Forget it, you don't need to explain, your paper is just garbage! Do you know what garbage is? It's useless trash! Your paper is full of loopholes and has no valuable content. This kind of thing is an insult to my teaching level! With your level, do you think you can inherit my research?!"
Having said this, Benedict Cumberbatch deliberately paused.
Tom Hiddleston thought this was an opportunity for the other party to talk to him, so he opened his mouth and wanted to say the lines he had prepared.
"Teacher, I..."
Tom was interrupted again.
"Stop yelling! You are lowering the IQ of the whole class!"
Benedict Cumberbatch's tone suddenly became fierce. He now looked like an irritated bull, and began to abuse Tom Hiddleston who disobeyed his discipline.
"Okay, you better turn away! I can't think or teach when I see your face now!"
As he spoke, Benedict Cumberbatch used little finger movements, spinning his index finger in circles to signal Hiddleston to turn his back.
"Yes, turn your back to me. You should attend class like this from now on."
"I..."
Tom Hiddleston's face was full of aggrieved expressions. He wanted to argue with the lecturer who was mocking him, but his glare was returned mercilessly by the other party.
Can't be forgiven.
At this time, Tom Hiddleston has already put himself into the role of Waver Velvet. He began to think from the other side's perspective about how angry the other side would be when faced with such a situation.
It is really unfair that he possessed the talent that could shock the whole world, but it was wiped out because of the dictatorship of an authority.
What made him even more infuriating was that his anger was completely useless, because no one in the entire Clock Tower expressed sympathy.
This anger and isolation made Tom Hiddleston feel indignant, and he could hardly control his emotions.
There was a moment when Tom Hiddleston wanted to throw the things on the table onto the podium, and his hand even grabbed the pen on the table.
"Hey, Waver."
Just at this moment Mcavoy spoke, and he also said in a sarcastic tone.
"Lord El-Melloi told you to turn your back, so you turned your back. It's a blessing for someone like you to be able to attend the class, so you should be grateful!"
After hearing what Mcavoy said, Tom Hiddleston took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.
"I understand, Lecturer El-Melloi."
Tom Hiddleston left his seat trembling all over, and then walked out of the classroom step by step.
[That guy James Mcavoy...]
Nanaya raised his eyebrows. Of course he could see that Mcavoy spoke just now to remind Tom Hiddleston not to do anything that was inconsistent with the character setting.
Although Waver is set as a young and reckless man, it is impossible for him to throw things at the lecturer in front of other students.
It is very easy for newcomers to make the mistake of putting themselves into the character's state of mind but performing in their own way.
Fortunately, Tom Hiddleston stopped after being reminded by others and behaved in a way that was consistent with his role.
If Tom Hiddleston had done this just now, Nanaya would definitely deduct points from him.
If Tom Hiddleston's final score is lower than others, Nanaya will choose others without hesitation.
This is also why, even though he already had his heart set on Tom Hiddleston, Nanaya still allowed other actors who applied for the role of Waver to enter the second audition.
The comparison between different actors can give Nanaya better judgment ability.
Nanaya would not give extra points to an actor's current performance because of his future achievements. After all, things like experience and knowledge are very important to an actor.
Forcing an actor to take on such a role without reaching this level will not only end up ruining the film, but may also cause the actor himself to fall from grace.
But then again, when it comes to sharp tongue, Benedict Cumberbatch is indeed better than James Mcavoy.
The way Benedict Cumberbatch criticized and scolded others just now was really infuriating.
Even Nanaya had the urge to punch him, not to mention Tom Hiddleston who was facing Benedict Cumberbatch head-on. He looked as if he was about to collapse from the blow.
Through the two auditions just now, Nanaya was able to see that James and Benedict Cumberbatch focused on two different aspects when playing Kenneth.
Mcavoy focused on Kenneth's arrogance, which made him look arrogant.
At the same time, although Mcavoy showed such impatience, he still acknowledged his responsibilities as a teacher.
His attitude towards Waver can be summarized as: Although I despise you, I will still teach you because you are my student.
On the contrary, Benedict Cumberbatch's Kenneth is more arrogant and conceited. He completely despises and ridicules Waver. He gives people the feeling that it is an insult to himself to let this student continue to stay in the classroom.
Thinking of this, Nanaya made two strokes next to Benedict Cumberbatch and James's names on the paper.
"Okay, you guys take a break for now." Nanaya said to the three people, "Benny and James go change your makeup, Tom you don't need to change your makeup, just remember to touch up your makeup before the next scene starts."
The three people nodded and left the audition room under the guidance of the staff.
"Next group!"
Nanaya called another group of audition actors into the lecture hall.
————————————————————————————
After a busy morning, Nanaya finally went through all the characters he had ideas about, Waver and Kenneth.
The results in the morning did not show any actors that particularly impressed Nanaya, and the final result was not much different from yesterday.
[It is still Tom Hiddleston who is tentatively selected as Waver. Will Kenneth choose between James Mcavoy and Benedict Cumberbatch? ]
However, the afternoon auditions have not yet begun, so it is really hard to say what the final result will be.
[Do you want to change your thinking? ]
Nanaya picked up James's application form, which stated that his ideal role was a knight.
[How about letting Mcavoy try Diarmuid Ua? ]
Nanaya suddenly had an idea and decided to give it a try in his next audition.
In addition to the two Masters, Nanaya has three servants waiting to be confirmed for the UK, namely Brush, Marshal and Lake Knight.
Although according to the setting, except for Brother B, the other two servants are French.
But for some reason, Americans have always believed that Lancelot's nationality is British.
Basically, in any Hollywood movie, most of the Lancelot accents are London accents.
But since the Lake Knights are in the Round Table, it is very reasonable and fitting for them to know the London accent.
Anyway, in FZ, except for the last part, Lake Knight's other words are either [Ah————Se——————!] or [Ahhhh————————!].
Things like accents don't matter at all. Even if he makes an appearance, it's just for the last moment.
Therefore, it doesn't really matter who plays the role of Lake Knight, because most of the time a stunt double will be used for the role of a fully armored suit.
Lancelot's character setting is completely different from Goblin Slayer's.
In addition to action scenes, Goblin Slayer also has a large number of literary scenes. In the action scenes, there are also many shots that show the opponent's eyes through the gaps in the helmet.
But the setting of Lake Knight is just a tool man, and the actor only needs to show his face in the last scene.
Nanaya thinks that such a role is very suitable for a big-name star to guest star, and all the shots except the last one where the star appears can be handled by a stand-in.
As for the other marshal, it is even simpler. The most important thing for the actor of this role is not his appearance, but to perform his weirdness.
The purpose of this character's existence is to add a thriller element to the movie, which is why in the character design, the marshal has a pair of protruding eyeballs similar to a lizard.
This image can be said to perfectly fit the uncanny valley theory.
Through the special organ of the eyes, even if the marshal is standing still, people can feel his weirdness at first sight and have a psychological reaction of fear and disgust.
However, this also increases the difficulty of producing this character, because these eyes need to be produced using computer special effects, but current motion capture technology is unable to capture human eyes.
This means that special effects personnel can only use computer modeling or frame-by-frame production to produce this part of the content.
No matter which one you choose, it is a very time-consuming and labor-intensive process.
At the same time, the role of the marshal has many restrictions in performance, and requires some actors with particularly good acting skills to be competent.
Therefore, Nanaya never considered Tom Hiddleston's application from the beginning to the end. He is still too young now, so young that he is not qualified at all.
However, Mcavoy's application gave Nanaya some ideas. Is it feasible to let him play the role of the brother Diarmuid?
In fact, in terms of character image, James Mcavoy can play either Kenneth or Diarmuid.
It's just that there are some prerequisites for Brush Brother, which requires a lot of action scenes, and the requirements for the actors are a little higher.
In fact, Nanaya really wanted Chen Kun to play Diarmuid.
After all, the cosplay photo of Chen Kun holding a brush that Nanaya saw in his previous life was so realistic.
For this purpose, Nanaya specially asked Washimine's people to contact the other party.
As it turned out, the other party's schedule was full, and Nanaya was not sure about letting an Oriental person play a Western knight, so it was hard to say whether the market would buy it.
So both sides just had a brief contact and then gave up.
"So."
Nanaya said to the staff around him, "Go tell Benedict Cumberbatch and James McAvoy that the roles they will audition for this afternoon are Kenneth and Diarmuid. Tell them to go directly to Audition Room No. 3 and wait."
Since Benedict Cumberbatch has already scolded Tom Hiddleston in the morning, it will be his turn to scold James Harden in the afternoon.
