Chapter 435: He's looking to the future
"Daze, the proposal for the new phase is good, the first three meetings, including this one, have set the tone for the development of grassroots actors in the future, and it has been decided to adopt your opinions to conduct pilot basic training for extras, charge some fees symbolically, and issue training certificates after the training, this proposal is very good. β
On the other side of the phone, the old man's voice was steady, he analyzed Lu Ze one by one, glanced at the screen, the two had been chatting for nearly half an hour, and the topic of discussion only revolved around Lu Ze's autumn report in 2024.
It's not impatient to look at the screen, it's just the subconscious action of the mobile phone vibrating, looking at the prompt that the battery is only 15 percent, he returned to the bar, charged the phone, and the other hand was not idle, slowly recording the old man's instructions.
"Master, you go on. β
"Because it is a pilot, so only two classes are arranged, the total number is maintained at about 60 people, teachers from professional colleges take turns to teach, one session a year, one period of fifteen classes, the pilot school is set in the office of the Hengdian Actors Union, and the students are also selected from the Hengdian Film and Television Base, the requirement is to enter the industry for less than two years, the age is less than 35 years old, the selection of students by the Hengdian Actors Union to hand over the student information, after the selection of the Electric Association, approval, and finally issue the student certificate, the specific process is these, of course, these have nothing to do with you, your main job is to carry out the first course of the lecturer after the pilot school opensγ β
"I'm going to be a lecturer?"
"That's right, considering that you are an extra, you have a high popularity among grassroots actors, and many actors regard you as a goal in life, so the first lesson of the first semester, by you, after careful consideration, is very appropriate, of course, this also has to take into account your time, if you don't hit the schedule, I hope you can go. β
"I understand, Master, when will the first class start?"
"December 1st, the first class, and then one session a week. β
After recording the date, he tossed the pen aside, spread his palm, ran through the hair, combed the hair back to the top of his head, and scratched it twice as he reached the back of his head.
Actor training classes are not uncommon, as early as the last century, grassroots actor training classes were established, and not limited to Xiangjiang, the mainland will also set up training courses every year, and even a handful of well-known artists have come out of the training class.
This is a good bridge for grassroots actors, not only can they learn knowledge, but if they have a relationship with the teacher of the training class, they will at least mention you a few sentences and give you a lead, so the number of applicants for training courses in major colleges and universities is really not small.
Students come from all walks of life, such as resident singers, dance teachers, insiders and behind the scenes, and even industries that are not close to the entertainment industry at all, as long as you have a heart to be an actor, and have free time and good financial strength, you can sign up.
The strange thing is that in the classes that can be filled with students every year, it is difficult to find those extras who have been on the camera many times and can barely be called actors.
Maybe this is not weird, because Lu Ze never thought about participating in any training classes when he was doing group performances, not only because he had no money and no time, but more importantly, the requirements of the group performance industry are extremely low, and there is no need for systematic learning.
There is no way out after learning something, there is really no way out, it doesn't matter what you have learned, no one cares at all, the crew only asks you to be like a person, or meet their needs, and make yourself not like a person, that's enough, pull out a set of Stanislavsky, and you will only be beaten out.
As long as you go to that place, the ambition in your heart when you just get off the train, what is to be a grassroots artist, make a lot of money, become a big star, and soon be woken up by the melon seeds, or you don't need to fight at all, as long as you follow the old oilers, you will wake up naturally.
I don't bother to do my work from 9 to 5 in the morning, and I don't have the face to go home, although I wake up from a dream, I can't bear the taste of being ridiculed when I go home.
In order to seek a kind of self-awareness of decency, in this way, slowly erode people's bones clean, so that they feel, oh, if they are willing to get up every day to start work, they will start work, and if they are not willing to do it, they will sleep at home, and it is good to deal with four or five thousand yuan a month enough to spend their own life.
Then the person who had the dream disappeared, and became a person who started work without money to earn some money, played cards and lost all when he had money, mixed lunch with the crew three meals a day, and there were no two eldest sons in the poor trouser pockets, and he was uncomfortable with thugs and guns every day, and he flipped through the WeChat group all night, hoping to find a cost-effective man who saved as much money as possible, but had a good appearance***, and finally turned over, and slept under the comfort of the black, sweaty quilt and pillow, and it was another day of rotten.
That's right, it's a rotten boy.
Even Lu Ze was the same at the beginning, even if he didn't play cards, because his family was in a hurry to use money, but he was also hungry and thirsty in the middle of the night, rummaging through his mobile phone to find cheap girls, and even moving to the opposite side of Yang Dan was just a sight, but it didn't take long to meet a woman who was willing to deal with him and live a life, and the two slept in a quilt for several months, and when the woman ran away, he and Yang Dan were also familiar, so they were no longer embarrassed to start.
Where are there so many coincidences that make a handsome guy and a beautiful woman happen to be neighbors? Even in Hengdian, there are few really beautiful people who do group performances, why not make money faster than doing group performances?
Lu Ze knows those old oilmen too well, and none of them are serious, because of this, he is actually not very satisfied with the requirements of the pilot training class to enter the industry within two years, too long, and it is difficult for people who have stayed in Hengdian for two years to be enterprising.
His original proposal was within a year, but now that the telecommunications agreement has been issued, he can't say anything more, and this is not Lu Ze's unloading and killing donkeys, he started from Hengdian, and after he became developed, he began to discriminate against the group performance group.
If he really discriminates against the group performers, there is no need for him to propose an official training class for the group performers to find a way out, in case there is really a talent who stands out from it? Who doesn't know that the myth is still the only good? He made the decision with his original intention and with a kind of anxious desire.
The horizontal comparison of European and American grassroots actors and domestic grassroots actors exposes the extreme lack of professional quality of domestic grassroots actors, and the desire for domestic grassroots actors to grow rapidly.
Since he became a member of the Electricity Association, he has been looking forward to making some contributions to the domestic film industry, not for achievements, not for promotion, just to give an explanation to the unwilling in his heart. Give an explanation to the unwillingness to sit in this position and understand what cultural export means.
The domestic industry is very chaotic, not that kind of chaos, but the industry norms are still very chaotic, compared to the entertainment industry of cultural exporting countries, it is very chaotic, so he has to learn, learn in foreign work, and then apply what he has learned, applicable to the domestic industry standards, into the domestic market.
Even if he is alone, he can't make much splash, and the Electric Association can't change the entire circle, especially those capital bigwigs who rely on the entertainment industry to make profits, no one will cooperate with an association that can't forcefully change the rules of the industry to lose their own interests.
But he can influence the grassroots, and affect a class that has been abandoned by capital and can't squeeze any oil and water at all, but is crucial in the essence of the movie.
At the grassroots level, this is his first step, the pace is not too big, there is no rush, only affected sixty people, but in the future, he believes that the people affected by him are definitely more than these poor sixty.
But if you want to make changes, someone will definitely be hurt, and the vast majority of the people who are hurt are group performances, which is also a kind of helplessness, after all, with ideals and in a high position, Lu Ze will eventually give up some people, these old oilers who have not contributed to the industry.
Although he has his original intention, but the original intention can not wrap everyone, for those who are dragging his feet, he can only abandon these people, maybe he will harm tens of thousands of people, or even more people will lose their jobs without any metal content, and the ancestral graves that will be scolded are boiled, but as a person who has the ability to climb the top of the mountain with a part of the followers of the industry.
In the face of the grassroots, there must be no discrimination, but it should be looked down on......
And this training class is not used to cultivate big stars, the teacher's course will not teach you how to become a big star, but only how to be a qualified grassroots level.
If you develop through the course of the training class one day, it can only be considered your fate, and you will get ahead on your own, and it will not have much to do with this training class.
It simply teaches you some grassroots actor filming knowledge that you should learn, and can learn and use it in the crew, enhance your line skills, change your stiff limbs, and will not be like most group performances, stiffly put on a posture, and withdraw after reading your lines without expression, just like the group performance in "Happy Planet".
It is a grassroots hematopoietic system, which will deliver grassroots parts with quality in the future, so that the image of film and television works will be fuller, and the audience will not be played, and the crew will not invite those old actors to play some more important small roles because no one is available.
Good steel should be used on the blade, and good actors should be like this, and the old actors who play well should bring those young generations and talented young actors to the road, so as not to make domestic actors fall out of stock and break the gear.
"Okay, I'll just say this, Daze, the first class is very important, you must make the grassroots actors think that they have learned something, so that they can be willing to take class, you have to get off to a good start, and the documents are also coming out, you must repeatedly emphasize that in the future, students who hold a certificate of completion, each crew will have three priority auditions, and at least ensure that the role has more than five lines, but if three directors in a row are not satisfied with their performances and give a bad score, the certificate of completion will be revoked, and the retake will not be allowed within three years. β
This is something that Lu Ze did not take into account in the proposal, and it is not a surprise that the Electricity Association has supplemented the proposal, after all, Lu Ze will definitely not be able to turn a bunch of brains into a bunch of brains.
In this way, the attraction of this training class for group performances is too strong, after all, you only need to pay a very low tuition, and after fifteen weeks of study, you can get the opportunity to audition for a role with a face, and the income can be much higher than before.
And the certificate can be revoked, which greatly enhances the sense of crisis of the graduates, others are improving, and you are standing still, it is equivalent to your regression, in this way, the director who chooses you to film will naturally feel a loss, and hire a rookie at the same price, and you will naturally not be happy, and then you can only say goodbye to your certificate of completion, and a farewell will be at least three years, in these three years, you can only watch others make a lot of money, and you can barely make a living.
To a certain extent, this will change the Buddhist state of group performances, and evolve the group into a highly competitive profession that squeezes out the head, the stronger you are, the more you earn, the better you perform, the more work the union arranges for you, and even in the future, there is likely to be a group performance with a monthly income of 100,000 yuan...... When you are a director, don't you feel upset when you watch the group perform dryly and read the lines?
A very OK group performance and a group performance that doesn't know anything are placed here, if you are the director, which one do you choose? For the crew, the trouble is just that after the group performance finishes filming, he takes out his mobile phone and marks the licensed group performance on the trade union website as excellent, good, and poor, and then puts a steel seal on the resume of the group performance, and that's it.
With a phone call, you can send a trained professional group performance that meets the image of the character to your crew through the actors' union, with a license plate, carrying a small box, shouting at the boss, waiting for you to pick, how much does this solve the director's urgent needs? How much can it add to the work? It is self-evident.
This will even lead to the certificate of completion becoming in demand, becoming a sweet and sweet, sought after by group performers, and then the admission conditions of the training class will be stuck, and the number of times in the group will be used as the selection criterion, and only the top hundreds of group performers in the whole industry will be admitted, and the enthusiasm of the entire industry may be mobilized.
Going further afield, in case a leading actor with poor acting skills is compared to a group special...... Do you think the leading actor can hold on to his face? Once there are more such groups with good performance levels, will you be able to find trouble? Even if you do, the actors' union will not eat dry food.
If the trade union members of the group evolution group are allowed to take a fixed commission, after the report, it is impossible to say who will trouble whom.
As for how many gray industrial chains will be generated in this way, Lu Ze doesn't need to know, as soon as he finds out, he can just knock it out immediately, this kind of thing can't be prohibited, he can only ensure that they won't be too rampant.
There is no need to go any further, all in all, group performances seem inconspicuous, but in fact they are the cornerstone of most works, once the structure of the cornerstone changes, the superstructure must also change to avoid the collapse of the building, so to change a thing, there is no need to start with the most difficult steps, often remove the pillars below, and the difficulties will always be solved.
"Okay, Master, I'll hang up first?"
"Well, by the way, this year's national-level actor selection has begun, you have not been very enthusiastic about this aspect, I will call the shots and bring it up to you, the meeting has passed, and the certificate will come to me, when you are free, remember to come and pick it up." β
The document can be mailed to Lu Hua, of course, it is best to pick it up yourself, it seems that you value this honor, but with the relationship between Lu Ze's second brother and his own achievements, it doesn't matter if he takes it in person or not.
Old man Chen is also a person who can't wipe his face, there are two old people and a nanny at home on weekdays, maybe he feels that the family is lonely, so he wants to detain his card, in order to find a reason to let Lu Ze go over.
It is said that the people love their children, and Mr. Chen is naturally vulgar, more or less partial to a little apprentice, and this little apprentice is in line with his temperament, and has excellent talent, he can be called the first person of the young generation, he can be regarded as a complete undisguised show of this preference.
Now everyone in the circle knows that in addition to the deceased apprentice, among the eight apprentices, Old Man Chen likes Lao Jiu the most, and he is closer to Lao Jiu than to his own son, as long as it is about Lao Jiu, he cares about everything, Lu Ze also heard the hint of the old man, smiled and exhaled, and nodded to the old man through the mobile phone.
"Cheng, Master, I'll go over to see you in a few days. β
"That's pretty much it, okay, hang up. β
got a satisfactory answer, Old Man Chen hung up simply, so fast that even Lu Ze didn't react, put the phone aside, returned to the guest seat outside the bar, sat in front of the laptop and thought about it, connecting the thoughts that were cut off because of the phone, occasionally meditating, occasionally fingers flying, writing line after line of text.
It's not writing a new quarterly report, it's not storyboarding Fatini's play "Atonement", this time, he's writing something entirely of his own, but ...... It's still not a script.
He is unwilling to accept cultural input in the Huaxia market, so he hopes to get the support of others as much as possible, so as to start to change from the inside, until it causes qualitative changes in the industry, but it is not enough to rely on his master and a few senior brothers, after all, their family can only be regarded as very important in the circle, and they are not close to each other at all.
Therefore, winning the support of other academics and capital parties with plans for the future industry is the top priority in formulating industry norms in the future, but in this way, it is not enough to be an actor and a member of the electricity association, he still needs certain achievements to improve his prestige, so that others are willing to support him to make changes to the rules of the industry and the unspoken rules.
The previously agreed "Sound Film Volunteer Organization" is also part of it, and the work at hand is also part of it.
Lu Ze had thought for a long time, how to make some achievements that are recognized at home and abroad, this is not something that can be done by making a few classic movies, thinking about it for a long time, and finally he has an eyebrow.
Everything has to start with the system......
For so many years, so many years in the system, he has learned more than just the current performance, it can be said that the talent he has shown now is just the tip of the iceberg of his own acting ability and literacy, no matter how awesome the script is, he can't squeeze him to full vitality, as long as he wants to, as long as the script needs it, he can go to the next level again, and then need, no matter how reckless, no matter how reckless, no matter how reckless, he can take out whatever effect you want, and even a little non-human.
It can be said that Lu Ze is the most suitable for any character in any script written by any screenwriter in the world, which sounds a bit like blowing, or even if it is not suitable, wait a few hours, and when he comes out of the biography of the system's simulated characters, he will be suitable.
But then again, although the script can't show all of Lu Ze's abilities, there is still a book that can do it, and the author of this book will not be someone else, but only Lu Ze himself, which is what Lu Ze is doing now.
He will write all what he has learned in his life into the book, whether it is what others can learn, or what others can't learn, and even if others feel that Lu Ze is not human after reading it, he will write it into the book, and from the experiential performance method proposed by Stanislavsky's "The Self-cultivation of Actors", he will find a new way and write his own unique performance method into the book.
That's right, he wanted to create a ...... in addition to the three major performance systems of theater
The fourth largest theatrical performance system.
