Chapter 245: Cameo

"Sorry, you are ... you are Dennis Knight, aren't you?" Joey looked at the man in front of him with a surprised look.
"Yes, hello." Dennis reached out. "Are you here to audition?"
"Of course, I'm Joey, Joey Tribbiani," Joey enthusiastically shook his hand, "I really like your movie, especially the character in" Vulgar Fiction ", the part where you stuck Mia It's so funny. "
"Well ... I think ..." Dennis twitched. "That should be John Travolta's role."
"Is that it?" Joey opened his mouth for almost two or three seconds, then covered his embarrassment with a laugh and slap Dennis slap hard. "Anyway, you are still great."
"Thank you." Dennis rolled his eyes and walked inside.
"You too ... right?" Joey called him cheekily again. "If possible ..."
"You can be bold and exaggerated, such as taking off your coat or something," Dennis replied perfunctoryly.
So when the assistant announced the next one to come in, Joey couldn't wait to jump in, and then waited for Adrian sitting in the chair to make a speech, hissing open his clothes, and the naked upper part of the naked body began to "hot dance", From time to time, he held his lower body's waving arms, as if very intoxicated.
Everyone was stunned. The assistants who took part in the audition covered their faces in unison. Dennis turned his head to the side. He didn't expect that he would take this guy seriously. Although Adrian twitched at the corner of his mouth, he didn't say anything. It wasn't until Joey stopped his "tricky" gesture that he frowned and glared at him and asked, "What the are you Who?"
Then I turned my head and asked my assistant: "This character is a stripper, yes, but I didn't ask you to find a real stripper to perform."
"Cut" came the voice of the director, "Ed, you just squinted at the camera just now."
"Stuck again?" Adrian raised his hands helplessly. "Don't you mean it, Brinkley?"
"Hey, so many people are watching here, Ed." Brinkley Haha, the TV director who directed the episode, laughed and made everyone around him laugh.
"God, do I have to do this again?" Matt LeBron, who played Joey, lamented.
"It's okay, Joey, you're jumping great." Jennifer and others whistled outside the court to coax.
"Hey, why don't you just come and jump in one time," LeBron said dissatisfied.
"Because the director and screenwriter only arranged for you to jump," Dennis patted his shoulder and said comfortably. "Jane, they're right, you did a great jump, and you can make a living after you don't act. "
"You guy, what a compliment?" LeBron immediately punched them.
"Well, gentlemen, would you give me a few minutes to make adjustments? Don't be too harsh on the newcomer." Adrian sighed in at this moment. Directing is one thing, acting is another. Although he can change his role in life, it does not mean that he can be so comfortable in front of the camera. And some habits will inevitably affect him, such as knowing that it is not good to look at the camera, but it is unavoidable to glance subconsciously when shooting, because he is a director himself.
"Admittedly, actors are not that easy to do," Adrian said to Dennis.
"It's not easy." Dennis sighed and looked at the six protagonists who were laughing and joking slightly slightly depressed.
No wonder, at the beginning, his role was not the same. The screenwriters specially arranged for him about two episodes. He will play a that seduce Rachel, but Rose mixed up with good things. But Adrian specifically named when he promised a guest appearance, and asked Dennis to play a guest role.
"After all, we have been working together for so long, and you can guide me to some extent." Adrian said that at the time, and did not hide his attitude of "just to pull you into the water". Dennis certainly wouldn't refuse, there is now this scene.
"Not the same. Actors can switch to directorship after a long period of accumulation, such as Clint Eastwood. How many directors do an actor after a long period of accumulation? Even Woody Ai Lun is also an actor and director of a colleague. "Adrian said, took a drinking glass and took a sip, then looked at Jennifer and others in the distance." Actors like Matt and Jane who have played the same role for a long time, It ’s easy to die, so it ’s best to go behind the scenes in the future. "
"Playing the same role for a long time? How long?" Dennis asked half-jokingly.
"It's almost ten years." Adrian shrugged. "You know," Friends "has a fairly high ratings. It can be said that it is the hottest TV series at present, so as long as this momentum is maintained, no major mistakes are made, and ten Quarter should be no problem. "
"Wow, that's ... really amazing." Dennis murmured. He certainly wouldn't doubt Adrian's words. From recognition to now, Adrian's judgment has never been wrong, but if it is true ...
He looked complexly, not far away, and Jennifer smiled cheerfully with a few friends talking happily. Adrian, who took Dennis's expression in his eyes, thoughtfully touched his chin, but then shook his head and stopped thinking about those.
Although Adrian's acting skills in front of the camera are not good, after all, there are not many plays, so it took a whole afternoon to complete it smoothly. For this reason, all the crew members applauded warmly after the last shot was completed. As for encouragement or ridicule, it is up to the applause.
After this episode of "Friends" was broadcast, it made the already high ratings jump a few percentage points. Joey's performance is really funny, and each episode has Jennifer's The story is also very interesting and warm, naturally sought after by people who have always liked this TV series.
Of course, Adrian and Dennis's guest appearances are also one of the reasons. Needless to say Dennis, the media now calls him an outstanding young man who can play any role, and has a lot of popularity. As for Adrian, although he has made several appearances in the media and has the title of Director of Miracles, he is still a little mysterious in front of the public. Coupled with the relationship between the two, as well as the original interesting encounter, have been extensively reported by the media, such a guest combination does not attract the attention of the ghost.
But this is the future. It is only in early November. This episode is the penultimate episode of the first season, so it will be released at least one month later, that is, the two weeks at the end of December. .
After making a guest appearance in Friends, Adrian turned to the movie again. At present, the most talked-about film-to be exact, the most sought-after literary film by critics-is the piano lesson directed by Campion just released in the United States. Because it is a small-cost independent movie, despite the launch of a lot of trailers and a lot of publicity, and the Venice Golden Lion Award as a gimmick, there is still no premiere. But many long-awaited critics have praised the film, especially many female critics.
"This is a masterpiece of Campion, which reflects the awakening of women's consciousness, the perfect interpretation of the body and soul."
"A beautiful and captivating love story, Campion uses her unique method to describe the feelings that women show when they face the collision of reason and emotion."
"Holly Hunt, with her soft sign language and firm eyes, successfully performed a beautiful but imprisoned image of a beautiful dumb girl. Campion made a great attempt."
Praises like this abound, and, as said before, the production of films by women directors has always been an appetite for critics, especially feminist supremacy.
With this kind of word of mouth, coupled with the previous publicity, the box office naturally will not be far behind, and in the first week and weekend, I got a box office in the early 3 million dollars. It may seem a little embarrassing, but in contrast to the theater theaters, we know that this number is not small, because less than 200 theaters are showing "Piano Lessons" in the first week.
Of course, this result is not good. If you include the cost of publicity, the cost of the movie is almost 13 million. If you want to make money at the box office, you must get at least 40 million. This is also no way out. The owners of the theater are savvy businessmen. They will not easily provide more resources for a niche movie, even if it is a cult type movie with a relatively fixed audience ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Even the niche movies directed by big directors are the same.
Generally speaking, unless it is a B-movie with a special reputation, it can win about 1,000 theaters when it is released in the first week. Women-directed niche literary films such as "Piano Lessons" can be released in nearly 200 movie theaters in the first week. No one can control it, because it is up to the market.
But it doesn't matter. As long as the film's performance is good enough, the number of cinemas to be shown will gradually increase. Although it will not reach the level of large productions, it can be recovered through long-term projections, just like "Vulgar Novel" It took almost half a year.
"Piano Lessons" can get a box office of 3 million US dollars with nearly 200 theaters, which has proved to be of some commercial value. What's more, with the current word of mouth, shortlisted Oscars are almost certain. This alone can add a lot of gimmicks. If you can get the best movies, it will definitely increase the box office. In the history of Oscars, there have been a lot of movies at the box office due to getting the best movies.
It ’s just a pity that the best films and best directors of this Oscar have been contracted. With the efforts of many people, Schindler's List has begun to enter the United States from all channels. People's sight.
