Vol 2 Chapter 374: The difference between Chinese and foreign bottom actors

"Lucas, I want to get a long lens here, from this side of the corridor to the nurse's desk. Make a dive lens. You can solve the problem of rails. Then I want a cooler color tone. Let’s go back to the company to test the shots later. As for the negotiation with the hospital, Mr. Hopkins, will you be in charge?"
This location will take a very important shot, so today Mickey took the photographer and art director Lucas, and the producer sent by the cinema production investor to go out to survey the scene. Of course, every shot of "Departure" is very good. It's important, so they have a lot of scenes to run. This is already the sixth one today.
Lucas nodded and did not answer. He looked around the hospital environment, memorized every detail, and made notes. Until Mickey's phone rang, he clamped the cap on the notebook cover and pinched the long corner of his eyes. Sighed.
"Hey 6 Ze, how are your interviews going on there? Three? The progress is good, what roles are they? Okay, I see. Didn’t I say that Kamiya will come this afternoon? I called you to get off the plane? Okay, then I will go back."
With a snap of his right hand, Mickey thought for a while, turned on the phone camera, and squatted down at the corner of the corridor. After taking several photos back and forth, he smiled at Hopkins.
"Miss Xugula is coming soon. Let's go back. Tomorrow and the day after tomorrow we will run 14 more scenes and we will be done! After Lucas is gone, today's protagonist should be there in half an hour."
...
"Mr. Smith, thank you very much for your strong support to the crew of "Departure". The casting cycle is about a week. We will notify you by email if you are selected or not. Thank you for coming. Please help me when I go out. One."
Are foreign actors very good? Before today, 6 Ze may nod his head. After all, he has seen so many excellent imported works before, and the acting skills of the top actors are shocking, and it is inevitable that people will leave a false impression that foreign actors have a deep industry heritage.
However, after the actual contact, there are many people with excellent acting skills, but there are more rookies who are in the lower level. Let me talk about the positive side.
The general strength of the special actors here is higher than that of the special type at the same stage in China. Because the system and the actor system are more perfect, any cast of any crew considers not only the appearance of the actor and the character, but also Considering which aspect of the actor's specialties make the characters and roles more suitable, and secondly, the Actors Guild will also send the resume to the crew to clearly inform all the works he has participated in from beginning to end.
In this way, actors must not only maintain their physical conditions to meet the requirements of special roles in the crew, but also continuously strengthen their acting skills and special skills, so that the actors have the strength to continue to climb upwards, so that so many first-line stars can learn from special actors. The group came out.
In China, the distinction between special type actors and real actors is too clear. Special type should do special type things. There is no big requirement. It is precisely because you are special type that others are not too picky. If the external conditions are passed, some performance skills are enough.
Just like when 6 Ze was in Hengdian before, the director felt that he was good enough to find a job, he asked less, and shot quickly. The advantage is that he won’t die from starvation, but the disadvantage is that he is basically special in his life. All the classes are firmly controlled by the academy, otherwise why is the appearance of 6 Ze extremely rare?
So when you look closely, you will find that in the high-end foreign films, even the acting skills of the dragon set are not too bad, they have the ability to eat a character with few shots.
On the other hand, in the blockbuster movies in domestic cinemas, some of them may not be able to perform well, especially for the elderly and children, whose lines are stiff, facial expressions and body movements are stiff, and they lose out in details.
The crew is not to blame for this, nor the actor. Does the crew almost find an actor who is not embarrassed in acting? It's not bad, but it's a special type of this level, you have no choice.
You can't blame the special type on the head, because when you become the special type, you are destined to appear on the screen for this part of the character that suits you. You can see the ceiling of your life and there is no room for improvement. .
It’s not like picking a special type at random. If he is destined to be fame and hopeless, but he still likes acting and making a living from it, then why should he hone his performance? If you have work to do, you can support your family.
So 6 Ze has been thinking about it for a long time, what is the lack of domestic low-level actors? Later, he realized that what was lacking in the country was an authoritative, professional, national actors' union established by the state to ensure the rights and interests of the bottom actors, protect the bottom actors, and pave the way for them.
The bottom actors can see hope and can be introduced to more large crews, and they will naturally desperately increase their own strength. In this way, it doesn’t matter if there are some shady secrets in private. As long as they are not too much, how many bottom actors can be introduced. One, this is worthy of recognition.
But then again, the people who can truly be regarded as actors and above are all academics. They have school protection and faction help, so... the China Actors Guild may never appear.
It's a bit off topic. Let's talk about the shortcomings of this group of foreign actors. The advantages of foreign bottom actors mentioned just now refer to those low-level actors who are motivated. Other low-level actors... are not so motivated. heart.
This is also interesting. Due to the careful selection of the crew, it is difficult for the bottom actors to find employment. A large part of the actors cannot satisfy their food and clothing by acting, so they will choose part-time jobs.
White-collar part-time actors, physical education teachers, part-time actors, IT male part-time actors, and even part-time actors of the cleaning aunt are very common. This kind of person can play a passerby or be a stand-in. I didn’t think about relying on this business to become rich. I just make some pocket money in my spare time.
There are many rookies like this, and they like to try their luck, like Mickey's famous movie, but not much investment, they think that they may have a chance, which will delay a lot of casting time.
The person I just persuaded me was that he was in his twenties, but he auditioned for a role of an uncle in his fifties. He didn't know what he thought about doing long and difficult makeup for a small character. Or do special effects? is it possible? Don't weigh yourself a few kilos.
Silently returned the resume of Mr. Smith, 6 Ze had to endure his anger and comfort him a few words, otherwise if he complained to the actors union, if the evidence is conclusive, the crew may face a fine. After getting used to domestic casting, This kind of people who have no self-knowledge and have to come to fish in troubled waters to be well served is indeed a bit angry.
"Kesha, how many more are there today?"
"There are forty-one, God, British actors are really worthless... My grandmother is 82 years old, and I might be able to mix as an actor when she comes to England."
"There are too few professional actors and too many gangsters, no way, hey, look out the window, such a big show, you see Mickey running the two trails, like a small slave from the brothel, this face is full of folds, our big star I'm coming."
The two witnessed the little black brother Gbagbo pushing open the gate of the courtyard. Generally speaking, even if Mickey drove over, Gbagbo would only open one door and he could get in.
But now the two iron doors were opened, and two luxury cars drove into the hospital. Miss Kamiya was dressed in white fur, wearing a white windbreaker, and a white top hat. When getting out of the car, she needed her assistant to support her. She wore slender hands with white silk gloves, and four brawny men in suits got off ~EbookFREE.me~ and stood quietly behind her, not knowing whether it was the person who temporarily borrowed to support the scene, or the bodyguard she hired for a long time. All in all, this slightly retro style, coupled with such a big pomp, shows the celebrity style from the details.
Compared with others, Mickey, the owner of a small film company, is like a gray grandson. Although the two are talking and laughing, they always feel inferior from a visual point of view. After all, they wear gold and silver, but Mickey only Wearing a leather jacket and jeans, Martin's boots on his feet are still stained with the springing soil, and Lucas, who is much bigger than a bodyguard standing behind him, can give him a little face.
"Six Ze, I really like Kamiya, can I go down and take a look? Just a while, you will help me up for a while! I'll be back soon! Can you see it?"
6 Ze really didn't expect Kesha to be a fan of Kamiya, and when she made a request to 6 Ze, he didn't twitch it, but felt a little embarrassed about throwing his job to chase stars.
"No, it's not that you will never see it again. You have to work together after a few days. Why are you in a hurry? If you have time to see others, you should first handle your work."
"Really...no?"
"Okay! Billow, I'm convinced you are."
"Thanks 6 Ze! I'll be back soon!"
6 Ze really can't stand a strong man over two meters tall pretending to be wronged. How is this different from the bear they bullied? He got goosebumps and hurried Kesha away. In the end... only 6 of the four interviewers planned to stay on the "battlefield".
The ballpoint pen was sandwiched between the and the ring finger and turned a pen flower. He held his chin and saw outside the window. Mickey accompanied Camia into the company. He disappeared from 6 Ze's sight. He drank bored and knocked on the door of the audition actor Shout.
"Please come in."
