Beauty Comprehensive 1999

Chapter 93 The Acting of Cheating
The so-called good actor is not only reflected in acting skills, but appearance is also a very important factor for an actor and a film and television work. Otherwise, why would so many directors like to use vase actors?
Vase actors may not have good acting skills, but they are not good-looking, eye-catching and seductive!
Although our director is only a third-rate TV director, he still has his own artistic pursuits!
So Mr. Director, after Xie Zihao politely knocked on the door and came in, he was the first to speak:
"You have a good image, Mr. Sherman. I see that you majored in history and archaeology on your resume. It's a pity. You should study acting or music. You have the talent to become a super idol..."

"Thank you, Mr. Director, but I'm not good at acting, but the temptation of five thousand pounds is great, and I just graduated, you know..."

For the director's praise, Xie Zihao responded modestly, and then waited for the test from the audition officers.

He could clearly see that the expressions of the other two interviewers were deeply convinced.

In addition to the director, the other two audition officers are the producer and screenwriter of the show, and the producer, Mr. Carter, is obviously the one who has the most say.

Xie Zihao also knows that unlike the directors in the East, in Hollywood, the producer is usually the head of a crew, and the director can only take a back seat. Except for a few well-known directors, most of the time the director is just a tool , After filming the film, he didn't even have the final editing rights.

So in the end, whether he can get this role depends on whether he can get the approval of the producer. It is useless for the director to appreciate himself without that approval.

Therefore, it is useless to say more. It is better to make a good impression on the other party. Besides, no matter whether he is in the previous life or another world, he is not the kind of social bull-pen syndrome character. Such a simple and neat performance will easily arouse the favor of others. At least it doesn't cause bad feelings.

Sure enough, the three above all laughed when they heard Xie Zihao's candid words. Compared with those audition actors who often mentioned why they auditioned for this role, they all said "I love acting" and "pursue better artistic achievements". It is relatively rare for Xie Zihao to honestly say that I came here for money, as well as clumsy or exaggerated performances, which makes them feel good about the first impression of the young people in front of them.

Even the producer Carter and the director Simmons, who are both male, don't feel that same-sex repulsion in their hearts, but they think this kid is quite interesting.

The producer, Mr. Carter, actually has no objection to Xie Zihao's appearance at the audition scene. After all, this is a young candidate's own game, and he himself recommended joining the audition. If the other party can become famous in the future, then this In the future, the story will become a good story in Hollywood about Bole's insight into talents!
Although he also wants the crew to start as soon as possible for his own benefit, it has nothing to do with personal feelings.

And the young man in front of him has nothing to rely on in this crew. Once he signs the contract, as a producer, he can actually draw a certain amount of share from Mr. Lance Sherman's salary.

This is also a common practice in the entertainment industry.There is always a gap between the reported expenses and the actual expenses, and everyone is involved in it, and everyone is tacitly aware of it.

This remuneration can at least bring him an extra income of about one hundred gold pounds. If it is the kind of actor with a brokerage company behind him, he will have to pay less. This alone makes Carter look forward to the young man in front of him. People have some good feelings.

Although this little money is nothing to him, it is still left over after sharing it with other people, but it can't stand the accumulation of little money.

In addition to props, there are other aspects of clothing, lighting, catering, etc. that can be lucrative. Even after the entire crew has been running for a month, they can secretly allocate nearly one-third of the total investment from the books.

Of course, one-third of it belongs to the "legitimate income" of the company behind him, and the rest goes into their personal pockets.

This kind of practice of getting kickbacks from the project has become an unwritten practice in Hollywood and even in the entire North American entertainment circle, and Mr. Producer has no psychological burden at all.

Because even the investors probably know about it, but as long as the producers and distributors don’t look too ugly, such as insulting people’s IQ with a straw hat of several thousand yuan, the investors will not take the initiative to pursue anything, and most of them will open their eyes. Close one eye.

What's more, even if it is a lawsuit, even if the investor can win in the end, they will not get too much compensation. For this reason, the progress of the project will be delayed or even ruined, and the initial investment will be in vain.

So even if the management encounters this situation, most of them can only accept it with gritted teeth and swallow this bitter fruit.

Of course, as a producer, Carter is usually not overly greedy. After all, they also need to consider their reputation in the circle, and if they really want to meet that kind of ruthless character who doesn't rub the sand in their eyes, they will not be able to eat it. .

Carter is the kind who seeks benefits within a reasonable range and is a more disciplined person. He really doesn't care what a small newcomer thinks.

As for the screenwriter Ms. Mays, although she is the No. [-] character in the name of the crew, to be honest, most screenwriters have the right to speak in the crew. Otherwise, the Hollywood screenwriters would not organize a general strike to protect themselves. Seeking more suitable treatment.

Seeing that the other two had no objections, director Simmons said:
"Have you read the script?"

Xie Zihao replied neither humble nor overbearing: "Yes, Mr. Director."

So Simmons said:

"Well, then you can come to the parking lot to chase the scene and see, I hope you can bring us a surprise!"

"Thank you director, I'll prepare it!"

Xie Zihao said a polite word, and began to take a deep breath to adjust, inspired by spiritual mana, and then his whole temperament suddenly changed.

"Annie! I really like you,..."

"Although my career is still dependent on my family, I am confident that I will succeed through my own efforts..."

Seeing the young man in front of him suddenly change from a sunny literary youth to a gloomy youth with a little madness, this kind of sudden change of temperament is usually only experienced by senior actors or young people with professional backgrounds. Only good actors can do it.

And the young man in front of him is just a fresh graduate, and he has never been exposed to acting in his resume.

At this moment, even the producer who just thought that the person who came here had no acting skills but a good face couldn't help being slightly surprised.

This acting?This temperament change?

Interesting!

This is the common thought of the three audition officers.

"Have you never studied acting?"

Ms. Metz, the female screenwriter who hadn't spoken much at this time, couldn't help asking the common questions of the other two.

Xie Zihao, who maintained the current state, said with a slightly melancholy temperament:
"Yes, ma'am! My family doesn't like the entertainment industry, and I don't like acting either. The only acting experience I remember was playing a prince in a school puppet show when I was in the first grade of elementary school. In fact, I think I Better to play a tree behind the prince!"

The female screenwriter snorted and was amused.

The producer laughed and said:
"That's right, Mr. Sherman, you are very talented in acting, but there are other actors behind us coming for an interview, so please go back and wait for our notice!"

Xie Zihao didn't know whether he passed or failed, what would the three giants of the crew say after he left, and when he heard what the producer said, he just bowed politely and left the room.

　Three shifts!
　　Go to bed first!Good night everyone, see you tomorrow!
