Chapter 279: s7ven.
progressing rapidly, encroaching on each other's intimate space and making small advances.
That sounds good. Although it's odd, according to my agent, you should prepare. The filming will be in San Francisco, Los Angeles, and Philadelphia. Since I don't have a lead role, most of my scenes will be in Los Angeles and San Francisco, whereas you'll have to visit Philadelphia, - Gwyneth said, with a slight hint of envy on her face.
-You can accompany me to Philadelphia if you wish, - Billy replied.
-I'll wait and see, although I might have some space for me in some activities. I might visit Philadelphia with you; just know I won't let you out of my sight if I do accompany you, - Gwyneth said.
The method by which people would ultimately be judged was a continuous struggle alongside two actors. Brad Pitt had his interview in the afternoon, while Billy would have his interview in the morning. Due to the constant rejections from many of the characters who were turning down the movie, the last one being Sylvester Stallone not long ago, only two surviving candidates remained who genuinely desired the role. Since the movie didn't have a public call for specific roles and desired experienced actors, they contacted advertising agencies and producers to outline potential profiles.
This was a good thing, albeit counterproductive.
Billy followed all the costume images, wearing black trousers, a crisp white shirt, and a discounted tie with colorful patterns that suited the movie well, although it wasn't necessary. However, Billy was already adept at such activities, along with a long leather jacket reaching down to his knees. He had grown a beard for almost a month, with some slight touch-ups to give it a disheveled appearance.
He kept his hair short, once again copying Erwin's style, leaving it slightly longer to avoid frequent trims. He could look formally appropriate with a bit of gel and a touch-up since the movie spans no more than two weeks.
David Mills is just a person doing his job, and although it may seem easy, it can be seen in two shots that it has complexity due to his motivations to clean the streets of villains. The way he acts, and his motivations are to be someone who contributes to society.
He must represent not only an impulsive person but also a fair person. However, that zeal makes him tenacious and committed to what he does. The good part is that he changes the role as desired. With the majority of credits invested in acting, his work and experience are enough for him to fight for that role.
-Mr. Carson, you can proceed to your audition, - they replied, leading him to a small room, no less than a three-meter room. The director, David Fincher, and Arnold Kopelson.
Interestingly, the script depicts the death of David Mills. David Mills dies in the game against John Doe, and Somerset ends up finishing him off after seeing his partner's death. Therefore, it's surprising how the initial script and the end of the movie are detailed.
-So, - Billy inquired.
-Act out a silent form, envision an office; your actions should unfold appropriately, - replied Arnold Kopelson.
Billy nodded as he adjusted his posture to the best of his ability. Mills was supposed to have a good posture due to his physical athleticism, confident stance, rebellion, and a hint of mystery in his way of expressing himself. With great detail, he fixed his posture to resemble Leo Roy, a military man, imitating his deliberate gestures and steadfast glances, embodying the intensity of his character. As a detective, he must have that reflection imprinted on his face.
After a while, he was handed a three-page script. As he studied the script, he immersed himself in his role, not taking note of what he was doing. He had been thinking like a detective most of the time; the imitation led him aside, but his presence ultimately shaped the end of his character.
It's the scene where Joe Doe turns himself in at the police station, following a foolish idea of evil in his heart, a plan he had been plotting for a long time.
Lines with William Somerset, David Mills, and John Doe.
Scene outside the street, police station.
Somerset: I've decided... I want to stay until this is over. Until it's done, or we can see that it will never end.
Mills: Oh, you want to stay now? - Billy mixed his untouched copy with the key idea of being as genuine as possible, without betraying his character.
Somerset: One of two things is going to happen. Either we'll catch John Doe... or he'll finish his series of seven, and we'll never find him.
Mills: Do you think you're doing me a big favor by staying?
Here I use a lot of those main things, that pride, that tenacity in his words that are somewhat rude but fit perfectly with Mills' activities.
Somerset: I'm asking you to keep me as your partner for a few more days. You're doing me a favor.
Mills: You knew I'd say yes.
Somerset: No. I wasn't sure at all.
In the scene, John Doe comes up behind them, his clothes splattered with blood, his lunatic face just a fixed idea, attested by his manner, a sociopath, a madman. Billy already prepares a look of disgust, a look of hatred, a disgust that he always portrays in his manner.
Somerset: As soon as this is over, I'm out.
Mills: What a surprise.
Shock.
Uniformed officer: It's him.
Mills: Get down on the ground.
Somerset: Be careful!
Officer: You heard him! Get down on the ground!
Somerset: Down! Face down!
Billy's actions are performed furiously, even managing to square his stance to demonstrate standard procedures, all practiced with his bodyguards, from how to adapt. Everything must focus on how a policeman should act, must be tough, and unrelenting.
Mills: Don't move, not a damn inch.
The script ends there.
-Repeat, but from this scene, - Arnold Kopelson said.
-Without hesitation, - Billy said.
All scenes were done only Billy facing the air.

-I'm not sure if my performance was outstanding, - Billy replied.
-You shouldn't worry; you probably did a great job, - replied Jim Wait, heading with Billy.
Both got into a black van that would take them to the CAA studios. The most important time was approaching, Jim Wait's and Billy's contract renewal. The wait for a contract, although negotiable and good for both parties, had to be fruitful over the next few years. A four-year contract negotiation, somewhat lengthy. Jim knew about the fortune; now the actor Billy Carson was a glorious asset and couldn't let him go. The takeoff to be considered a great ally; now Billy is what one would call a shuffled actor in big productions, a first-class producer, and an entrepreneur above the average American.
