MTL - Best Actor-Chapter 17 first acquaintance
"Very good, that's it." After carefully comparing the image in and out of the mirror, the director nodded with satisfaction to the makeup artist. He was in his forties and kept a circle. The bearded middle-aged man is somewhat unremarkable, but he directed several episodes of the latest season of "Friends" that aired in September.
"Are you ready?" He then looked at Sean again.
"Yes, sir." Sean, who was sitting firmly in the chair, nodded and said in a very positive tone.
"Very well, I look forward to your performance." He laughed, patted his shoulder again, and left the makeup trailer.
Sean let out a sigh and looked relaxed, and then the makeup artist who put the finishing touches on his face laughed: "Don't be nervous, although this is your first formal role, but as long as you stay calm, you will definitely be able to do it well.”
"Thank you, Chase, I will." Sean smiled.
There are no producers who disagree with each other and quarrel with each other, the atmosphere of the crew is not bad, there is no inexplicable hostility and disgust, and Sean is also easy to integrate into it. This is a very simple thing for him. I said before that he is very good at handling people. When he was in high school, the basketball coach asked him to temporarily join the team as a guard. Those big and three rough players were very unfriendly to him at first. , but after a few training sessions, his attitude changed.
Of course, this had something to do with him being a little bit of a celebrity in school at the time, but if he wasn't good at dealing with people, he wouldn't have gotten their friendship so easily. Just like the previous two crews, despite the messy things that happened before and after, most people have a very good impression of him.
But even so, some gossip is inevitable, curiosity or jealousy, this is normal, Sean doesn't need to care, as long as he has a good relationship with key people such as makeup artist, lighting engineer, director, starring, etc. .
I don't know what the starring actors look like in reality. Sean, who was patiently waiting for the start in his exclusive chair, continued to flip through the script while thinking. Although the agent briefly introduced the situation of the six leading actors, it was to tell him not to confuse them with their roles, so he still didn't know what kind of people they were actually.
Although Sean is now a full-fledged actor, has his own dedicated seat on the set and shares a lounge with another supporting actor, it is not yet to the point of having his own trailer, which is the lead actor only treatment. Naturally, Sean didn't have the opportunity to take the initiative to contact him, not to mention that the six leading actors of "Friends" each have a trailer, which is a unique treatment among TV actors.
No way, the producers certainly don't want to, but who makes this TV series extremely popular? If nothing else, this is one of the few American dramas that Sean can recall now. This sitcom is actually very simple. It mainly tells the stories of six good friends, Ross, Chandler, Joey, Rachel, Monica, and Phoebe, living in New York. It also shows the points of daily life. Bit by bit, although there are exaggerations for the story, the little jokes that are close to life are easy to resonate with people.
Therefore, this TV series is quite popular no matter in past or present life, it has been in the limelight as soon as it was broadcast, and it has been on the viewing throne several times. Although it has been on the air for more than four years now, and the ratings have also dropped, it is still one of the most popular TV series in the United States, and several leading actors have also become famous because of their fame.
Although it is a melodrama, there are still main plots, that is, the feelings between each other, friendship, family, love, etc., especially the on-off between Ross and Rachel, always touch the hearts of the audience. You must know that at the beginning of the TV series, Ross, who finally had to divorce after finding out that his wife of seven years was gay, was comforted by his friends in the Central Cafe.
"I just want to... get married again." After being teased by friends, Ross said this, and then just ran away from the wedding, and Rachel, wearing a wedding dress, rushed into the cafe.
"And I only want $1 million!" Chandler said immediately, but unfortunately there was no bank clerk with a cash box rushing into the door.
In short, the beginning of the TV series foreshadows that there will be some entanglement between Ross and Rachel, and in fact it is advancing like this. The separation and combination between the two will always affect the hearts of the audience. The main plot that is currently being filmed focuses on Ross and Rachel. In the previous seasons, Ross and Rachel had come together, but they broke up for various reasons, and then at the end of the fourth season Ross and the new acquaintance British girlfriend married again.
However, the writers left a small tail, and at the wedding, both Ross and Rachel realized that they still have feelings for each other.
In fact, after the last episode of last season aired, many viewers expressed in media interviews that they still hoped Ross and Rachel be together. So, at the beginning of the season, Ross' second wife Emily, when she was about to go on a honeymoon with her husband, accidentally saw Ross and Rachel hugging intimately at the airport.
After that, Emily didn't say it, but she couldn't help but quarrel with Rose a few times during the honeymoon. And with Rose's honest character, not only can he bear it, but he also tries to please her in a different way, and after returning to New York, he was forced to show your love to Rachel in front of Rachel. Rachel is naturally very angry, so she goes out to find a man on a date, and finally meets a young Italian of Italian descent while picking clothes in the mall with Phoebe.
Yes, this is Sean's role, I have to say that he is very lucky, this role was designed by David Crane, the founder of the TV series, and the actor needed both young and acting skills , and also be fluent in Italian. The combination of many conditions led to the fact that suitable actors could not be negotiated, and relatively cheap actors were not suitable.
Cran thought it would be easy to solve, so he turned on the film while casting, but he didn't expect that half of the shots were taken, and the actor was still undecided. In desperation, he was ready to give up, and then summoned the screenwriter to revise the story to save the scene. Unexpectedly, after telling it to Eric Reese at the party, the latter strongly recommended Sean to play.
Nevertheless, if it wasn't for Sean's own acting skills, Crane wouldn't necessarily like him - his acting skills are a little jerky, but his overall quality is good. This is Crane's original words. Similarly, if he hadn't stood firmly on Reese's side in the previous turmoil, Reese wouldn't necessarily recommend him. Sometimes the gains and losses are so hard to tell.
"I don't know if there will be a kiss scene in the next episode." After reviewing his own content in his mind again, Sean suddenly had such an idea.
Following, he laughed dumbly, well, as long as people who have watched and liked this TV series will think so, after all, he played Rachel's little boyfriend.
The most popular among the six leading actors is Jennifer Aniston who plays Rachel Green, with delicate features and long brown blond hair, and a little baby fat Her face is very charming when she smiles, making her the dream lover of many men. Not only that, she is also very good at dressing herself, often on the cover of fashion magazines, and many women are also vying to dress up with her hairstyle, so Jennifer has the nickname of "American Sweetheart".
So, I can understand Sean's thoughts at this moment.
"Hi, how are you?" At this moment, a voice came from the side, Sean turned his head to look, and froze on the chair.
"Hello?" After waiting for several seconds, there was no more reaction from him, so the other party had to reach out and wave twice in front of him.
Sean finally reacted, and immediately bounced off his chair, as if embarrassed: "Oh, I'm so sorry, Aniston... ma'am."
Yes, the person in front of him is about 5 feet 5 inches tall, with long brown blond hair, a pair of pretty light blue eyes, and a **** and sweet face with a little baby fat Women, exactly what Sean was expecting for a kiss scene, Jennifer Aniston as Rachel Green!
What's more embarrassing than being obsessed with each other, and the other party immediately appears in front of you? So Sean jumped up nervously. In order to show his respect, he deliberately used the title "Ms.".
But the other party is obviously not very satisfied: "Ma'am? I look like the kind of woman who can't tell her age or whether she is married."
"Of course not, Miss Aniston." Sean immediately changed his tune, so quickly that Jennifer Aniston was a little surprised.
"Don't be so nervous, you're... Sean, right?" She laughed, as sweet as she was on TV.
"Yes, Sean Tang, I will play Casapa Mawson." Sean said with a smile, straightening his body, "Is there anything I can do for you? "
"Wow, so formal?" Jennifer blinked, and the corners of her mouth twitched slightly, seeming to find it very interesting.
"Sorry, I don't know how to...express myself," Sean spread his hands and coughed dryly, "I never thought before yesterday that I would play a role in my favorite TV series. , will play with his favorite actress."
"Do you like this TV series?" Jennifer was a little surprised, "I read your profile, you are only 18 years old?"
Generally speaking, among the viewership ratings of TV dramas, viewers in the age group of 18 to 49 are the most important, because they have the highest purchasing power, and advertisers will also base their ratings on this age group rate determines your own bid. Then again, viewers over 49 are more likely to win than those under 18, older people don’t have big events, spend most of their time at home, and have enough time and energy to pick and choose the TV they want to watch.
But young people are different. Young people under the age of 18 are a group of energetic guys. At this time, most of them are addicted to parties, games and exciting sports. A movie rather than a slightly lukewarm TV series, so Aniston would be surprised.
"I have a sister who is much older than me, she likes this TV series very much, so I often watch a few episodes, and I like this TV series after a while." Pull it out as a shield.
"Really? Then..." Jennifer accepted the answer, her eyes lit up, and there was hope in his eyes.
The strange scene lasted for a few seconds, and Jennifer began to become a little anxious. She waved her hands, as if to remind him to do something, and then a voice sounded: "Time is up, you lose!"
