MTL - Best Actor-Chapter 16 first role
indicate what.
"So, is this one, this one, and... this one?" In the vacated space, Sean held the clothes that didn't exist in both hands and said with a smile to the camera. . His eyebrows were slightly raised, and his eyes blinked from time to time, as if he hoped that the other party would buy it, but at the same time he kept his waist up, making himself less urgent.
"I love this white chiffon dress, of course, this dark patterned top is also good, but my favorite is this scarlet dress, so why don't we find a place to chat Chat, can you give me a detailed introduction to their advantages?" A man outside the camera read this with the script, he spoke quickly and urgently, and he seemed to be pretending to be a woman, so his voice was sharp and made people listen Goosebumps.
"Huh... huh?" Sean was stunned for a while, then opened his eyes, his neck bulged forward, but he tried his best to maintain his demeanor, which seemed very funny under the contradiction.
Puchi, a chuckle suddenly came from behind, the person in charge in front couldn't help but turn his head to look, and then showed a displeased look, the female staff who read the text messages hurriedly put away their mobile phones.
"Okay, let's go here." He immediately clapped his hands again.
The performance at the venue stopped immediately. Although Sean looked calm, he was still uneasy. He was also happy when he heard the laughter before, but unfortunately he found out that it was just self-indulgent.
The room was quiet, but the person in charge with the bald forehead and round glasses who stopped the call did not speak. He pondered, not knowing what he was thinking, which made Sean even more in his heart. nervous. But he always stood there calmly and straight. The advantage of being reborn is that after experiencing such an amazing thing, he can face everything calmly, even if it is related to his own destiny.
"One question, Sean," the other party finally asked, with a sharp look behind the glasses, "Do you think your action just now has a comic effect?"
"I don't know, sir," Sean replied after only two seconds of pause, "I'm a newcomer, and although I have some acting experience, those are not much reference value, so All I have to do is try to understand the director's intention as much as possible, and then express it in my own way."
The person in charge raised his eyebrows and then stood up: "Frankly speaking, your performance is still very immature in some aspects, you were a little nervous at first, and a little stiff when you introduced the clothing styles in the middle, but ... the role is yours."
"Haha, what's my opinion, David?" Eric Reese, who was obviously impatient beside him, laughed immediately.
"Okay, you guy, I admit you're right, you've found a great new guy." David Crane nodded helplessly at him, then looked at him again Sean: "Let your agent come over, we'll sign the contract today after we've negotiated everything, and we can come to the crew tomorrow."
"Huh?" Sean looked surprised.
"I had a lot of headaches for this role for a long time, young man, Italian, and a certain acting talent, etc.," explained David Crane, who saw his doubts Next, "I haven't found a suitable one, either I'm not satisfied or the other party is not satisfied and I almost gave up. Fortunately, Eric recommended you to me last night. So, we have to hurry up, otherwise we won't be able to catch up with next week's broadcast. already."
"Okay, Mr. Crane, my agent is outside." Sean, who secretly squeezed his fist, replied immediately.
"You have to be careful, David, his agent is not easy to deal with." Reese, who was obviously in a good mood, joked beside him.
"Really?" Crane raised his eyebrows, then motioned to Sean to call the agent in, and then showed an unexpected look: "Frederick?"
"How are you, David?" Frederick showed his signature smile as an agent, "It seems that you are very satisfied with my young man, so let's make a price."
"You are very good, Sean, very good." Eric Rees, who patted Sean on the shoulder, said this with emotion in his tone.
…
"Thank you, Mr. Reese." Sean smiled.
"Call me Eric," Reese sighed, he looked at him as if he wanted to say something, but in the end just patted him on the shoulder again, "Good job, Sean."
"Anyway, I appreciate you, Reese...Eric." Sean remained calm.
"You deserve it." Reese laughed, seeing Frederick coming out of the office, he said hello and left.
"It's all done, the contract is fine, they've signed it, and when you sign your name after consulting with a lawyer, the role is 100% yours," Frey said. Derek smiled and handed the copy of the document to him. "The salary is still $3,000, but this time there are two episodes. Because you are a newcomer, you can only get it after shooting."
Follow him and said again: "Don't worry too much, the six leading actors are all good people, you will get along very well with them - of course, don't associate them with the characters they play. Confused. Rachel isn't confused, Phoebe isn't neurotic, Monica isn't obsessive either, Ross is highly educated but not old-fashioned, Joey is honest but never stupid, and Chandler..."
Frederick frowned and paused: "Well, Chandler is actually a good guy, not that insecure, but he's been addicted to drugs since last year, so Occasionally may be emotionally unstable."
"Okay, Fred, I can take care of myself." Sean interrupted him, "Anyway, keep your posture down, right?"
"That's right," the agent nodded heavily, "You have already taken half a step, so you must take the other half."
It wasn't until now that he felt a little long-winded, and then stopped: "Okay, I won't say more, let's prepare. Be happy, Sean, this is the most popular in the United States. TV show!"
"I know, thank you, Fred." Sean smiled, gave him a high five, and then parted ways to the parking lot.
As he drove into the street, his breathing slowly began to quicken, and until this moment, the feeling of disbelief slowly spread from his body. really got it? Really got it! Did you really get your first official role? Really got my first official role! And he's the hottest "Friends" character in America!
The windows were wide open, and although the speed was not fast, the wind on the Ventura Highway was still roaring, and the arm gripping the steering wheel began to tremble slightly, and the teeth were biting , The throbbing that had spread to his whole body made him want to take a deep breath.
"Hey, man, don't you think your reaction is a little slow?" Looking at Sean in the rearview mirror, he said something in a self-deprecating tone.
The next second, he laughed violently, slapped the steering wheel vigorously, and finally let out a loud roar.
"Oh oh oh!" On the Ventura Expressway, the speeding Ford roared with endless excitement and joy, facing the sun all the way forward.
…
Hollywood has seven of the most famous studios, MGM, Paramount, Columbia, United Artists, Warner Bros., Universal and 20th Century Fox, although United Artists later merged with MGM , but since the 1980s, Disney, which was built into a big studio by the famous CEO Michael Eisner, took its place.
They are only called the seven major film companies because they have the same characteristics: they were all established when the American film industry was just beginning to develop. This kind of veteran qualification that has survived for decades has made them a signboard in Hollywood and even the entire United States. Until now, they have either developed into large media groups or been acquired by large media groups. Movies, TV, variety shows, can Those who intervene are all intervening. Most of the high-investment films are produced by them. In addition to the accumulated film library, many small and medium-sized film companies cannot resist the storm. For them, they just need to spend some effort to deal with it.
Just like MGM, it started to declare that it was going to close down a few years ago, but it is still a little embarrassing to stand in Hollywood.
Therefore, the large and small studios scattered in Hollywood and the surrounding areas are all owned by the seven major film companies. Although there are also small and medium-sized film companies, they are far less large and complete than them.
Most of the area, and then two corridors with different styles. Although these and various equipment make this small studio look full, it is still very flexible in operation.
The most typical example is the Central Cafe, which occupies two-thirds of the entire studio shooting area, because the set is set inside and outside. If it was a larger studio, this area would be nothing, but after all, the No. 6 studio only has more than 300 square yards, so it is relatively crowded.
This did not affect the shooting, although sometimes the lens transitions were not smooth - because it is an indoor set, sometimes the lens angle may be slightly deflected and it may reveal the stuff, so there are basically no long shots in sitcoms, All are edited. Even so, the props manager specially designed a turntable. If you need to shoot the interior scene, then turn the inside out, and if you need to shoot the outside, then turn it back, which is very convenient.
The prop carts are pushed over and appear in front of the camera. I have to say that they are really creative and will save money.
Although these have not been seen in previous series like "Everybody Loves Raymond" and even "Home Improvement", Sean is in a very different mood now. It has nothing to do with him, so even if I see the dexterity in it, I just find it interesting. But now, he appeared in the crew as a full-fledged actor. He was no longer the same background as these sets, and he naturally became different in his eyes.
Come on! Recalling the content of the script again, Sean clenched his fist and said this in his heart, he knew why Reese recommended him to David Crane, the founder of "Friends", it doesn't matter, this opportunity will definitely be tight by himself. Hold tightly in hand.
