MTL - Best Actor-Chapter 29 meet again
"Are you Sean Tang?" The man in front of him looked at Sean with interest. He was about forty years old and tall, about 6 feet 3 inches. Although he had a good physique , but looks a little thin because it is too tall. Although the beard is clean-shaven, the hair on the outside arm is quite vigorous. Although he was just looking at it, Sean was still a little nervous, because he was familiar with this kind of gaze.
Still, Sean kept his composure: "I'm Sean, Mr. Gould, and it's a pleasure to work with you."
The man grinned: "You are very good, at least it looks like that, that guy Marquez has some vision, I hope you can do well later, also, call me Kevin ."
"Thank you, Kevin." Sean shook his hand.
Then Gould called a female assistant over and asked her to take him to the dressing room. After passing through the various props in the studio and entering the dressing room, Sean sighed in his heart. The fashion circle is really strange.
The document that Frederick took out was not a formal contract, but under his leadership, he met with the person in charge of GUESS here and had a meal, and it was completely settled . In any case, GUESS is a brand established in 1981. It has been less than 20 years ago. Compared with other brands, it has a little less background. Therefore, it has always focused on the market of young people, so many advertisements also invite young people to be models. And Frederick, who understood this, won a contract for Sean.
Kevin Gould is the photographer of this print advertisement. He is well-known in the fashion circle and is good at capturing the looks of the models. Of course, his sexual orientation is also well known. Therefore, before coming, Frederick repeatedly warned not to conflict with him, and said that homosexuality in the fashion circle is very common.
Well, for the sake of the 30,000 reward, as long as he is not excessive, he can bear it. Sean, who let the makeup artist move on his face, said so in his heart. Intuition told him that although Gould's eyes were very direct, he was more graceful than the guy he met during the audition a month ago.
Speaking of, as long as you work for two or three days, you will get more than a month's rush. No wonder stars like to shoot commercials. Although Hollywood's first-line stars don't endorse many products in order to maintain a sense of mystery and distance, but a lot of commercials are shot. Otherwise, how can huge popularity be converted into commercial value?
In addition, an endorsement is an endorsement, and an advertisement is an advertisement. Besides, if you don’t shoot commercials in China, you can go abroad. Japan is a very good place. Many celebrities who have passed away will be invited by the Japanese to endorse products. In addition, South Korea, Taiwan, and Hong Kong are also good places to make money, and China will probably be added in the near future.
So let's get this done.
After putting on makeup, putting on the jeans provided by GUESS, and then entering the main hall of the studio full of spotlights, reflective umbrellas and various professional equipment and props, another female model is already waiting there Was talking to Gould. This time Sean is only a supporting role. The theme of the advertisement for GUESS is couple jeans, but it focuses on women, so the protagonist is the female model.
But the other party is not a professional model. Like Sean, he is an actor and a movie actor invited by GUESS. He didn't ask much before, but looking at her back now, he felt familiar.
Before he could remember, the other party had turned his head, and then a somewhat uncertain voice came into his ears: "Sean?"
"Jordanna?" Sean was also very surprised. The man in front of him had long straight black-brown hair, two thick eyebrows and obvious Latin ancestry. He was wearing tight jeans and had a very hot figure. The young girl who looks very lively and enthusiastic is exactly Jordana Brewster who asked for her phone number when he was running around in "High School".
This girl made a deep impression on Sean, and she resisted temptation by remembering her when she lived with Naomi in a lawful cohabitation. He had called her before, but he hung up without saying a few words. Later, he finally bought a mobile phone, but he didn't know what excuse to use to contact her again. After all, Jordana lived in New York. It's not that Sean didn't think about how to meet her again, but he definitely didn't expect this to be the case.
"You know each other?" Gould was a little surprised.
"Yes, he had a cameo in my first movie before." Jordana said thoughtfully.
But Sean didn't need: "It's not a cameo, I'm just playing tricks in it."
Of course, he still gave her a thankful look.
"Okay, you were running around," Jordana shrugged, "but a few days later, he started dating Rachel in Friends."
"You also watch "Friends"?" Sean was a little surprised.
"Of course, it's a very good TV series, my mother especially likes it." Jordana said with a smile, the corners of her mouth were quite charming.
Speaking of this, she suddenly stepped closer with her hands on her hips: "Why didn't you call me, Sean? I want to ask some gossip about the "Friends" crew and show it off. ."
"Um...I called you, remember?" Sean pinched his nose and answered cautiously.
"Yes, of course, I was in a hurry to go out and hung up without saying a word. I thought you would call again, but after waiting for several weeks, nothing happened." Jordana nodded. He pointed his toes and raised his chin, with an expression of asking for guilt, very cute.
"Okay, I was wrong, I promise to call you every day in the future." Sean raised his hands in surrender.
"Do what you say?" Jordana stopped suddenly and blinked, as if something was wrong.
"Okay, two people, stop flirting there, get ready to start." Gould said sarcastically at this time, and the two suddenly became embarrassed.
Fortunately, this awkward atmosphere did not last long, and soon disappeared as the shooting started. I have to say that Gould's professionalism is very high. Although he always looks at Sean with interest in private, once he starts shooting, he will become very serious and professional, and take the trouble to guide Sean to pose. and highlight their own characteristics.
"The so-called flat light position is to try to keep the light position facing the subject's face as much as possible. The popular understanding is to not let the shadow be left under the protruding part of the face. Your appearance is good and very Photogenic, but the bridge of the nose is a bit high, so when shooting from the front, the light should be soft, and the flat light position is the most suitable." He also explained many professional terms well.
With such a professional quality, it is no wonder that he has a good reputation in the fashion circle. I don’t know how those photographers who are more famous work.
Sean is a little hard, but Jordana is very relaxed. She can always assume the pose Gould wants. Even if there are occasional problems, she will quickly change it under his prompts.
"My mother is a model, so I have done some exercises in the future, and now I occasionally make a cameo as a model, just like now." Jordana said this very proudly.
Well, girls of Latin descent are born to be models, even if it's just a cameo. However, Sean also has something that others can't compare to, that is, dedication. Basically, Gould will do whatever he wants, even if he wants to eat a certain position for ten minutes sometimes, but a superfluous word is nothing. No.
You know, Gould was quite harsh at work, even Jordana couldn't help but complain a few words in private. Only Sean not only fulfilled the photographer's request without complaint, but also often handed water to assistants and other people during breaks, or helped to move things or even explained one or two things. In addition, he was humble and polite, so he won the favor of many people. .
"I have to admit, you're amazing, both at work and in life, are you interested in being a professional model?" Gould said to Sean when the job ended two days later .
Of course, the interest in his eyes never changed. Sean was naturally grateful. He never planned to change his sexuality, even after living in San Francisco for 18 years, so—
"Hey Jordana, how about going for coffee." As he was about to leave the studio, Sean finally sent an invitation to the young girl.
"After preparing for so long, it's finally time to act?" Jordana immediately gave him a half-smile expression.
Sean couldn't help being embarrassed, then smiled wryly, she was really direct. But this is also the charm of Jordana, direct, enthusiastic, cheerful, unrestrained, etc., make her very dazzling.
Can't I ask you out?"
Squinting her eyes and looking at him, Jordana clapped her hands gently: "For the sake of you being a gentleman, then reluctantly agree."
I'm a gentleman? Hearing this, Sean couldn't help laughing. So there are such benefits of following the rules? When shooting before, he often needed him to put his arms around her waist, or to pose close together. Although he was very close in front of the camera, as long as Gould called to stop, Sean would immediately let go and stand. Go aside without any hesitation.
The reason for this is that on the one hand it is to win Jordana's goodwill, and on the other hand, it is definitely the worst trick to attract women's attention with tricks, Sean doesn't want to Disdain to use, the present is the best proof.
"Great," Sean laughed, "So, what's the plan for the evening?"
He intends to hand over the initiative to Jordana, but the other party does not seem to appreciate it: "Since you asked me, of course you will arrange it."
Jordana raised her eyebrows, seemingly dissatisfied with his unassertive behavior, but her eyes were always smiling.
Since this is the case, Sean no longer insists: "I know there is a good and cheap cafe on Foothill Avenue, the scenery is very good, and the dinner is also very special, you might as well try it."
"Then go to a movie." Jordana suddenly interjected, her smile became a little narrow, and she didn't know what to think.
"Movie?" Sean didn't respond.
"Yeah, there's been a good movie recently." Jordana blinked.
