Chapter 374: The Difference Between Chinese and Foreign Low-Level Actors

"Lucas, I want to get a long shot here, from this side of the corridor, all the way to the nurse's table, make a diving shot, you solve the problem of arranging the tracks, and then I want a cooler tone in terms of color, let's go back to the company later, let's test the shot, as for the negotiation with the hospital, Mr. Hopkins, you will be in charge, okay?"

This location will shoot a very important shot, so today Mickey took the photographer and art director Lucas, and the producer sent by the theater production investor to go out to survey the scene, of course, every shot of "Death" is very important, so they have to run a lot of scenes, this is the sixth today.

Lucas nodded and didn't answer, looking around the hospital environment, remembering every detail by heart, and taking notes, until Mickey's phone rang, he clipped the cap of the pen to the cover of the notebook, pinched the corner of his eye and let out a long sigh.

"Hey Lu Ze, how are you interviewing over there? Three? Progress is good, what roles are they? Okay, I know, didn't you say that Kamiya would come in the afternoon? I have already called to inform you to get off the plane just now? Okay, then I'll go back." ”

With a snap of his right hand, Mickey thought for a while, turned on his phone camera, found the corner of the hallway and crouched down, and took several pictures before smiling and mentioning to Hopkins.

"Miss Xugula is almost here, we should go back, and tomorrow and the day after tomorrow we will run fourteen more scenes! ”

......

"Mr. Smith, thank you very much for your strong support for the crew of "The Dead", the casting cycle is about a week, whether you are selected or not, we will notify you by email, thank you for coming, and help me call the next one when I go out. ”

Before today, Lu Ze may have nodded, after all, he has seen so many excellent imported works before, and the acting skills of top actors will inevitably leave a false impression that the foreign actor industry is very deep.

But after actual contact, Lu Ze found that there are many people with excellent acting skills, but there are more rookies in the lower classes, first of all, let's talk about the positive side.

The general strength of the special actors here is higher than that of the domestic special type at the same stage, due to the more perfect system and actor system, the casting of any crew is not only about the appearance of the actor and the character, but also about the actor's strengths to make the character and the role more suitable, and secondly, the actors' union will also send the resume to the crew, and inform all the works he has participated in from beginning to end.

In this way, the actors not only have to maintain their physical conditions to meet the requirements of the special roles of the crew, but also continuously strengthen their acting skills and special skills, so that the actors have the strength to continue to climb upward, so that so many first-line stars can come out of the special actor group.

In China, it is too clear that special actors and real actors are divided, and special types should do special things, there are no big requirements, it is precisely because you are special types, so people are not too picky, as long as the external conditions are passed, and some acting skills are enough.

Just like Lu Ze did when he was in Hengdian before, the director feels that he can do it, he doesn't have to worry about finding a job, he has fewer requirements, he shoots quickly, the advantage is that he will not starve to death, and the disadvantage is that he is basically a special type in this life, and on the top, all classes are firmly controlled by the academic school, otherwise why is Lu Ze's appearance extremely rare.

So when you look closely, you will find that in foreign high-grade films, even the acting skills are not too bad, and they have the ability to eat a role with few shots.

On the other hand, in domestic cinema blockbusters, the tricks in them will more or less fail in acting, especially the elderly and children, whose lines are stiff, facial expressions, and body movements are stiff, and they are defeated in details.

I don't blame the crew for this, nor do I blame the actors, does the crew have a little money to find an actor whose acting skills are not embarrassing? It's really not bad, but it's all special types of this level, and you don't have to choose.

You can't blame the head of the specialty, because when you become a specialty, you are destined to appear on the screen for this part of the role that suits you, you can see the ceiling of your life, there is no room for improvement.

If he is destined to become famous, but he still likes acting and likes to make a living, so why does he have to hone his acting skills?

So Lu Ze also thought for a long time, what is lacking in low-level actors in China? Later, he realized that what is lacking in China is an authoritative, professional, and state-established national actors' union, so as to ensure the rights and interests of low-level actors, give protection to low-level actors, and pave the way for low-level actors to rise.

The low-level actors can see hope and can be introduced to more big crews, so they will naturally try their best to increase their own strength, so it doesn't matter if there are some shady scenes in private, as long as it is not too much, it is worth affirming that a few low-level actors can be pushed out.

But then again, at present, the people who can really be regarded as actors and above are all academics, they have school protection and faction help, so ...... The Huaxia Actors Guild may never appear.

It's a bit off-topic, let's talk about the shortcomings of these foreign actors, the advantages of foreign low-level actors just now refer to those self-motivated low-level actors, and other low-level actors...... There is not so much self-motivation.

This is also an interesting place, due to the careful selection of the crew, it has caused employment difficulties for low-level actors, and a large number of actors cannot meet the needs of food and clothing by acting, so they will choose part-time.

White-collar part-time actors, physical education teacher part-time actors, IT male part-time actors, and even cleaning aunts part-time actors are very common, this kind of person can play a passerby or be a stand-in, and I don't think about getting rich in this industry, just to earn some pocket money in my spare time.

There are a lot of rookies like this, and they like to try their luck, like Mickey, who is very famous but doesn't invest much, they think that they may have a chance, and they delay a lot of casting time.

The one who was persuaded away just now is that he is in his twenties, but he auditioned for the role of an uncle in his fifties, and he doesn't know what he thinks, doing long-term and difficult old makeup for a small role, or doing special effects? Is it possible?

Speechlessly, he returned Mr. Smith's resume, and Lu Ze had to endure his anger and comfort him a few words, otherwise if he complained about the actors' union, if the evidence was conclusive, the crew might face a fine.

"Kesha, how many more are there today?"

"There are forty-one, oh my God, British actors are really worthless...... My grandmother is 82 years old, and she will probably be able to be an actress when she comes to the UK. ”

"There are too few professional actors, too many bastards, no way, hey, look out the window, such a big show, you see Mickey running those two steps, like a little slave in the Qinglou picking up customers, this face is full of wrinkles, our big star is coming. ”

The two watched as Barbo, the black boy in the mailroom, pushed open the door of the hospital, and normally, even if Mickey drove over, Barbo would only open one door and get in.

But now the two iron doors have been pushed open, two luxury cars drove into the courtyard, Miss Kamiya is wearing white fur, wearing a white windbreaker, with a white top hat, when she gets out of the car, she also needs a little assistant to support her slender jade hand wearing white silk gloves, four strong men in suits with big shoulders and round waists got out of the car, standing quietly behind her, I don't know whether it is a temporary borrowed person to support the scene, or her long-term hired bodyguard, in short, this slightly retro shape, coupled with such a large pomp, highlights the style of a celebrity from the details.

Compared with others, Mickey, the owner of a small film company, is like a gray grandson, although the two talk and laugh, but visually they always feel inferior, after all, people wear gold and silver, while Mickey only wears a leather jacket, jeans, and Martin boots on his feet are stained with the mud of spring, and Lucas, who is much burder than a bodyguard, can find a little face for him.

"Lu Ze, I like Kamiya a lot, can I go down and have a look? Just for a while, you can help me for a while! I'll be back right away! Do you think it's okay?"

Lu Ze really didn't expect that Kesha was still a fan of Kamiya, and he didn't twist when he made a request to Lu Ze, but he felt a little embarrassed about throwing his work down to chase stars.

"No, it's not like I can't see it anymore, I still have to work together in a few days, why are you in a hurry, some time is to watch others, you deal with the work in your hands first." ”

"Really...... Can't you?"

"Okay, get out, I'm convinced. ”

"Thank you, Lu Ze, I'll be back soon!"

Lu Ze really couldn't stand a strong man more than two meters tall pretending to be aggrieved, what was the difference between this and the bear they had bullied? got goosebumps, quickly drove Kesha away, and finally ...... Of the four originally planned interviewers, only Lu Ze stayed on the "battlefield".

The ballpoint pen rotated between the middle finger and the ring finger, and when he saw Mickey accompanying Kamiya into the company outside the window, he disappeared from Lu Ze's sight, and he drank his saliva boredly, and the audition actor who knocked on the door shouted.

"Please come in. ”
