The Best Actor in the Vase of Meiyu

Chapter 97 Working Skills

"But I didn't expect..." Marcia said the first half of the sentence, and Gary took the initiative to take over the second half. His eyes lit up slightly, and all his thoughts were connected. "It turns out that Michael is not only beautiful on the inside, but also beautiful on the outside."

Anson: ...Why is this sentence a bit weird?

Marcia snapped her fingers, "We are still trapped by our own fixed thinking, and we have been single-mindedly trying to copy and paste Mia's settings, so that we have fallen into a rut and limited the possibilities of the character."

According to the concept, they will start with braces, glasses, hairstyle and other details to make Mia an ugly duckling, literally an ugly duckling, and then use professional means to complete the transformation.

Naturally, they had the same idea when they conceived Michael, but obviously, it was not easy, because there are not many transformation options for men, and high school students cannot grow a homeless beard; and braces, glasses and other means It is best not to reuse it.

Then, they trap themselves.

but!

The conversation between Anson and Gary brings inspiration, and Marcia opens the door to a new world——

If high school students dress themselves up because of their hobbies, such as two-dimensional, metal rock, goth, etc., they don’t even need to make a fuss about their appearance, and they will naturally be classified by their classmates.

A nerd who likes the retro culture of the 1960s, even if he is the lead singer of a band, he is still outside the mainstream. There is no way to enter the field of vision of the famous people in school, so naturally no one cares about his appearance.

Marcia looked at Anson again, "Gary, to be honest, my biggest confusion is about height and body shape."

"Leave aside high school girls, but there are very few adult women who like handsome boys whose body types and frames cannot bring security. Tom Cruise has his era, but that era has passed."

Although straightforward and even sharp, Marcia grasped an important point——

In his previous life, in "The Princess Diaries", Robert's height was a bit regrettable, at 5.58 feet (170 cm), even shorter than Anne.

Of course, judging from the story setting, this is in line with the common sense of the plot, because Michael is one year younger than Mia, and boys tend to develop more slowly than girls. It is normal for him to be shorter than Mia.

This did not affect the movie's box office. "Princess Diaries" was still successful because the unique core of the entire movie was Mia played by Anne; but Marcia's words made people think that if the role of Michael could satisfy Will movies be able to reach a higher level if more women's imaginations adapt to a wider market?

"Height. Body shape. This is an important factor to satisfy the adult female audience's fantasy of a prince, but the problem is that if it satisfies their fantasy, then it is impossible for such a height and body shape to be placed in high school without being discovered."

"Look, Anson."

"He just showed up at school and, God, how could people not notice him?"

"So, it's a paradox."

"On the one hand, we need him to be invisible; on the other hand, we need him to be able to satisfy the imagination of a female audience, which is almost impossible."

Marcia... finally said it.

I have endured and endured, repeatedly warning myself not to reveal my true thoughts, but now I still can't hold it back.

But it doesn't matter, because Marcia already has a solution.

"But now, I can see the possibility in Anson."

"The Beatles' Jarhead wears T-shirts with graffiti of different rock characters or two-dimensional characters. He is always holding a guitar, or there are books."

"We used his interests and hobbies as a disguise, and also used his interests and hobbies as details to complete the character. When his classmates at school automatically classified him as a nerd and geek, no one cared about his height and shape."

Marcia was eloquent, but Anson had another idea in his mind——

James Franco.

They had just filmed "Freaks and Geeks" and James was a standard handsome guy with a James Dean vibe, but he was completely unattractive in the show. Maybe he could learn from James. Unknowingly, without noticing, Marcia also became excited, and the steady flow of inspiration put her completely into work mode.

Gary is no exception.

He liked Anson, and his idea had been determined from the first meeting. As the conversation progressed, he became more and more convinced that Anson was the person they were looking for. Marcia's words made him even more excited.

Just do it!

Kill two birds with one stone and kill two birds with one stone!
but.

Gary noticed one thing, the eyes.

Anson's eyes are really beautiful, deep blue, bright and sparse. Even if there is no smile or expression, you can still feel the vitality in the eyes; and Anson is very sincere and very focused, always looking at the other person during conversations. With eyes, communication can be completed without words, and simple conversations can also make people feel happy.

Gary was impressed.

However, it is an obstacle for the movie and the character.

In Gary's opinion, it was impossible for others to miss Michael's eyes.

Therefore, Marcia suggested that the pot head is a magic touch. A hairstyle can establish the identity of the character, and thick bangs can cover up the light of the eyes.

But, it's still not enough.

After thinking for a while, Gary leaned forward slightly and said, "Anson, can you make your eyes darker?"

Anson, "Huh?"

His eyes are not light bulbs. There is a switch behind them to adjust the brightness.

Gary explained, "It's just that the sharpness is restrained. You know, the eyes are the windows to the soul. Some people's eyes are very bright, but like professional killers, their eyes are not bright at all..."

It turned out to be the case.

So, is this the moment where your acting skills are put to the test?
If it is other acting skills, Anson may need to explore and study. After all, he has not studied acting seriously and relies on himself to explore everything. In "Friends", he basically performed in his true colors; but how to keep a low profile and how to hide his eyes is not a job. Basic skills?

Every day's work is over and overtime is over. No one leaves the entire office, but my work is over, so I keep a low profile, showing a sad and tired expression, hiding the joy and excitement in my eyes about getting off work, slumping my shoulders and pretending to go to the bathroom to wash my face and come back. Prepare to continue working overtime and struggle, but in fact, you will go to get off work and never come back.

At such a moment, your eyes need to be low-key, and you need to hide your home country. You must not let your boss notice your true intentions.

Life is like a play, it depends on acting.

Whether you can go home early to eat watermelon, drink beer and grill barbecue all depends on this one look performance.

And, not only that, if something goes wrong at work, it’s the same when your boss is going to take the blame. How to hide your eyes and keep a low profile is also a technical job.

I have been working hard in the workplace for many years, I dare not say anything else, but there is absolutely no problem with my acting skills in this area, and I am a master at hiding my presence perfectly.

But Anson didn't expect that it would come in handy now.

Before Gary finished speaking, Anson could be seen lowering his eyes to adjust his breathing. When he raised his eyes again, his whole temperament changed and the sound behind him was cut off.
