Chapter Twenty-Three: You're Far Ahead!

"You must know that now is the era when traffic is king, and even if the era of traffic passes, this thing is still an important bargaining chip to measure the value of an artist..."

Kominsky is telling the truth.

He used himself as an example, even if he was revered as the godfather of Hollywood, his life in his later years was a mess.

The means of making a living is to open an acting training class and fool a bunch of young people with dreams of being actors...

In fact, he could feel that he was out of touch with the times!

When he was educating his students, he said that every actor should love his creations like a god and devote himself to them.

"Then a student asked me, I'm going to audition for a shampoo commercial, how can I think of myself as God?"

I smiled wryly and persuaded him to wash his hair first!

"If my fame is not only in the circle, but more about the audience's liking, I think my acting career may continue for at least ten years!"

Shen Ming was silent for a moment: "... Aren't you godfather? How can you have no money?"

He always thought that an old driver was the kind of respected old actor, and according to him, Marlon Brando was his student...

How can an old drama bone have no money?

"There are a lot of talented people in this world who end up not getting the recognition they deserve..."

Kominsky sighed, and continued, "I used to admire actors like John Kesel, who were low-key and had excellent acting skills..."

"You don't know who he is?"

"He has acted in "The Godfather", "Hot Afternoon", "Deer Hunter"..."

“… You see, you know all these movies, but you don't know who John Kaiser is. ”

"It's a very sad thing when an actor's popularity is less than his acting skills, and I don't want you to be the same!"

This should be the difference between a star and an actor...

Great actors are respected, but who knows what they think?

Kominsky, who has lived all his life, has the most right to speak, and he wants a better life for the respect of stepping on the horse!

Shen Ming was persuaded and changed his Weibo profile to 'Actually, I'm an actor'...

Post the first Weibo: Work hard, struggle!

In the background is a selfie he took when he arrived in Hengdian on the first day of that year...

Create an image of hard work, struggle, and positive energy...

Then I searched for it, and Lin Yuner's Weibo was 'Have a good dream, good night'...

"How do I lick this?"

“… You don't have to reply to every sentence, forget about it!"

Kominsky was a little embarrassed and forcibly explained ...

……

The atmosphere on the set was a little tense.

Lu Haozhe and the executive producer were arguing, and the spit touched each other's faces, which was very intense...

Caught Brother Peng, Shen Ming asked, "... What's the situation?"

"Don't you know?

"Ah, three months early, that is, it will start in November?"

"That's right, I heard that they don't want to collide with "The Legend of Miyue", so Lay's Video spent money to buy the exclusive online broadcast rights of "The Legend of Miyue"!"

“… Tsk, it will be broadcast three months in advance, so how long do we have to shoot?"

"It was originally said that it was two and a half months, but now it is a month and a half at most! The director is in a hurry, and he is tearing up with the producer, I heard that there was almost a fight last night!"

Brother Xiao Peng watched the show with a good face...

Zhang Xiaoai also walked over: "... I guess even if the director can buy time, it will only be a week at most..."

"Why?"

"The arm can't twist the thigh, compared to "The Legend of Miyue", our drama can only be regarded as a small fight at most, "The Legend of Miyue" has been launched, attracting more than 100 brands to advertise, and it is conservatively estimated that there are more than 200 million!"

Shen Ming was shocked, not to mention more than a hundred brands or anything, or 200 million advertising fees, turned his head and looked at Zhang Xiaoai: "... Where did you know that?"

"Weibo, haven't you followed the official Weibo of Lay's Video?"

“… Nope..."

……

The three sighed...

Indeed, in the face of capital, the second generation of stars does not work.

It is estimated that "The Crown Princess" will definitely change the way of filming, desperate to rush the progress!

This thing has little to do with actors, or rather, it's not something that a young actor like them can decide.

Walking into the dressing room, changing into clothes, and looking around, Shen Ming frowned: "... Eh, what about the makeup artist?"

Zhang Xiaoai snorted coldly: "Resigned!"

"Huh?"

Confused, makeup artist resigned?

Peng Peng explained: "... There was a "Big Bombing" crew next door, and the makeup artists ran over!"

"It's so unbelievable, there's no work ethic at all!"

"The price is twice as high as ours!"

The normal workplace tone beats, and you can't say that they are open-minded when they see money, and people work hard to make makeup for this actor, originally to make money!

Shen Ming was entangled: "Then what should I do if I put on makeup?"

“… I'll draw it for you!"

Sister Xiao Ai took out a full set of equipment, sharpened her knife Huo Huo to Shen Ming...

“… Actually, I think it's good to appear without makeup!"

"What? Are you afraid that I can't do it? Let me tell you, my makeup is all made by myself!"

“… You're wearing makeup, how can you be the same as you're not wearing makeup, you're bubbling beautiful!"

"Get out!"

Zhang Xiaoai rolled her eyes, but there was a smile on her face that she couldn't hide...

This sentence was also taught by the old driver, and he, a straight man, could not say such a thing with a clear conscience - the powder on Xiao Ai's face can make dumplings!

was putting on makeup, director Lu Haozhe walked in and coughed: "I believe everyone should know, our plan has changed a little, and we must complete all the shooting tasks in the remaining month!"

No one answered, and Lu Haozhe continued: "... I looked at the shooting plan, and there was almost half of the scenes, and if I continued to shoot in the previous way, there would definitely not be enough time, so I decided to divide the crew into two parts, one group was responsible for filming the harem plot, and the other group was shooting the others..."

The entire film crew is less than twenty people, and if we were to separate them...

I can't imagine!

“… Everyone also knows that there are relatively few crew members, so the actors have to help once in a while, so please be considerate..."

After saying this unconfident word, Lu Haozhe left quickly, and he had to hold a meeting with the film crew, how to divide the group, this is all a problem!

Peng Peng was a little puzzled: "Help? How can we help?"

“… I guess let us decide to shoot it ourselves!"

Shen Ming was concise and concise, and summarized Lu Haozhe's speech...

"We are actors, how can we decide the shots casually? That's the director's job!"

"Isn't that a special situation?"

In fact, Shen Ming also knew a little about it, but Kominsky was very excited: "This is a good opportunity, only by sitting in front of the monitor, can you accurately know the problem when you perform!"

"Huh?"

"In short, you are lucky to have met a director who is willing to give up power, you can take this opportunity to learn more about the basic use of light and photography, and make reserves for the future transformation into a director!"

“… You're thinking so far, I don't even understand the actor yet!"

"It doesn't hurt to learn more!"
