036. First Chop and Then Play
"You want a cameo role in a TV series?" After listening to Hawke's words, Benson didn't react for a while, and then asked something that made Hawke speechless, "Aren't you some 'idol'?
Big brother, let's mix in the same circle!
Without time to explain the difference between words such as idol, artist, and star, Hawke went straight to the point: "Benson, I also have the same dream of starring in a TV series as you, and since you said that the role has not yet been decided, and it is a character who plays a fighting role with you, I think I can fight for it with my ability." ”
"Okay, I'll call tomorrow morning and ask the casting director, and if the role is still vacant, I'll recommend you. Benson didn't bother anymore, and agreed directly.
"Perfect!" Hawk excitedly hammered the table with both hands, "I'll treat you to these two glasses of wine, and I'll bring you a glass of vodka." ”
It was already eleven o'clock in the evening when he returned to the room after drinking with Benson, but Hawke didn't have time to rest, and he needed to sort out the relevant materials of "Starheard Girl" in the shortest possible time.
Here I have to mention the TV drama system in Huaxia.
There are two types of TV drama broadcast platforms, Shangxing and Internet.
TV dramas that can be broadcast on provincial TV stations often get more attention than online broadcasts, and they are dominated by the five major TV stations.
Xiangnan, Jiangsu and Zhejiang, Shanghai, Shanghai and Guangdong, the five major TV platforms cover nearly seventy percent of the viewers in China.
The online platforms are mainly kiwifruit, penguins, kuai and other platforms.
These are quite similar to the Earth of the original plane.
The filming and broadcast of TV dramas have evolved into huge differences.
The network and the star summer TV series belong to filming-post-production-on-the-shelf broadcast, with episodes between 25 and 45 episodes.
and other non-summer dramas on the stars are all broadcast while filming.
There are many registered artists in Huaxia, and countless TV series are filmed every year, and the position of the broadcast platform is that everyone is robbing, and there are more monks and less meat.
All star-studded episodes will start airing in late August or early September, with two episodes a week at regular times.
A few weeks after the broadcast, once the ratings are not good, they will be cut directly, and all the actors and actresses will pack up and leave, and find another job.
TV series with good ratings will continue to be filmed, for three or five years, as long as the artist is willing and has enough audience and financial support to shoot until he is old.
"Xingwen Girl" is a new drama on Shanghai Satellite TV in September last year.
The essence of this series is still the love of handsome men and beautiful women, locking the market to the age group of teenagers.
is different from other campus idol dramas that have been filmed badly, "Xingwen Girl" takes a slightly long-term view and gives these protagonists a bigger stage.
Shanghai, the center of gravity of China's economy, trade and commerce, is their main battlefield.
The most prominent feature of the characters in it is that they are all from extraordinary backgrounds, have cars and houses, and their social status is not low, but they are not good people.
Then these male and female protagonists tear each other apart in Vanity Fair all day long, and their interactions are also permutations and combinations.
Just like the name of the show, the gossip media throughout the city lives on the scandals and scandals created by these star-like celebrities.
Once it was broadcast, it was scolded by major literary and high-style forums.
can't stand the fact that teenagers like this set, and it contributes huge ratings every week, and several leading actors are now in a good traffic.
The first season of "Star Girl" went through more than 30 episodes in a controversy, and successfully renewed the contract with Shanghai Satellite TV for one season.
Although he doesn't know what kind of character the fighting character Benson mentions, Hawke thinks that this character may really have something to do with the female protagonist based on Benson's analysis of the information between the lines.
Because that's actually the highlight of this show.
Hawke slept late that night.
Benson's side was very efficient, and he called Hawke at half past eight the next morning.
"Huo, I asked the casting director in the morning, and the role has indeed not been decided. "I recommended you to the casting director, and they said that if possible, they would have an interview in Shanghai this afternoon, and the filming time for this scene was very urgent, and they were in a hurry to find someone." ”
"Great, I'm in Shanghai this afternoon, right?" Hawk's heart was beating fast, "No problem, so how do I contact them?"
"I'll give you a phone call with the casting director, give them your email address, and they'll send you the exact time and place. ”
"Okay, thank you so much!"
After hanging up the phone call with Benson, Hawke quickly opened his phone contacts and texted Wang Jie.
[Sister Wang, I woke up this morning and suddenly had a high fever, 39 degrees 5, it still doesn't work after taking antipyretics, can I take a day off and not participate in training?]
Wang Jie happened to be out of Beijing today, so she quickly replied to Hawke that it was okay, and then asked him to pay attention to his body.
Time was so rushed that Hawke didn't have time to contact the broker again to talk about the interview.
In case Wang Jie refuses to participate in an acting training class in March or prepare for a new song charting event, Hawke can't even cry.
He and Ma Feiyu's situation at that time was somewhat similar.
Ma Feiyu first confirmed the cameo role and then reported to Wang Jie, and finally Di Le also let him go.
Maybe Ma Feiyu's new singing section was cut because of Di Le's implicit punishment for him.
But Hawke is not afraid, the new album has been recorded, and even if Di Le is dissatisfied with him, he will not make a fuss about it.
The only possible influence is that in the MV of "Sigh of Joy", Dile cut out a section of his shot.
Compared to the cameo roles in the popular TV series, this loss Hawke can afford.
He also wants to learn from Ma Feiyu to cut first and then play.
......
Hawke, fully armed and wearing a mask, bought the fastest high-speed train from Beijing to Shanghai.
He was lucky enough to arrive in Shanghai at two o'clock today.
According to the address given by the crew, Hawke arrived at the audition location and found that he was the only one who came to audition.
The casting director was a young woman, and then there were two men sitting next to her, and it was impossible to tell whether they were assistants or interviewers.
This kind of interview for a cameo role doesn't need a big director and screenwriter.
Hawke walked in first and greeted them one by one.
"Just came from Shangjing today?" the young woman asked, "I've heard of your group, your name is Hawke, isn't it?" ”
Hawke nodded.
"I can't see that you are an idol and have a hobby of practicing free fighting, when Benson called me to recommend you today, I thought it was a duplicate name, and after confirmation, I found out that it was you. ”
"I'm lucky, too. Hawke didn't understand the character of the casting director, so he could only answer very cautiously, "The company is very close to Benson's training room, and I also want to develop more personal hobbies in addition to being an artist." ”
The female director nodded slightly, and then said a few words calmly: "Take off your shirt." ”
Ha Hawke suddenly had another bad premonition.
Young female director, upper body naked male idol, closed audition room......
He hesitated for a moment.
The female director frowned and explained: "This character is going to play against Benson and engage in underground fighting, if you don't take it off, how can I judge that your figure is not compliant." ”
Well, Hawke found himself overthinking.
"Can you let me warm up first?" Hawk said with some embarrassment, "It looks a little better." ”
"Ten minutes. The female director said simply.
Without hesitation, he immediately began to warm up.
When it comes to the field, the only things that can be done are push-ups and abdominal muscle tear-related movements.
Time passed quickly, and a somewhat panting Hawk simply took off his shirt.
He has a large skeleton on his shoulders and wide shoulders, which works well without deliberate practice.
Due to the relationship between body fat, there are no six-pack abs and the like, and at most four pieces are vaguely visible.
"When Benson and I were learning kickboxing, I also learned Brazilian war dance, can the director give me a chance to show it? Hawke asked, looking at the director, who was blushing slightly.
"Hmm. ”
This is also what Hawke and Benson taught him by the other when they were studying.
Hawke's learning is not based on actual combat positions, but is used to fool children, just look gorgeous.
The two-meter-tall North Pole is not very good-looking, and it only taught Hawke a few basic movements, and Hawke's current waist and abdomen strength cannot support it if it is too difficult.
Taking a deep breath, he did two slalom kicks in a row, which was Hawke's limit.
The female director clapped her hands and said "Good!"
In the next five minutes, the female director picked a dialogue scene between men and women for Hawke to play. This is not a difficult task for Hawke.
After discussing with the two men, the female director said to Hawke: "I checked your information, and I acted in a movie in Britain a few months ago, so the most basic acting skills should not be a problem." ”
"The crew will then send you the contract and script, and you will sign it if you see it and think it's okay. The man next to the female director said, "Three episodes are filmed, and the estimated filming time is two weeks, and the shooting time is three months but not necessarily continuous." ”
"The time frame was very tight, otherwise we wouldn't have chosen you so quickly. Another man added, "In the past few days, you need to lose fat quickly to make your waist and abdomen thinner, otherwise the effect on camera will not be good." ”
The news came so suddenly, and it took no more than ten minutes to warm up during the whole process, and Hawke got a cameo role with three episodes.
Although I don't know how much time I play in each episode, I am already satisfied with being able to be on the stars and perform Hawke.
After suppressing his excitement and saying goodbye to the female director, Hawke understood that there was still a tough battle to fight when he went back.
You have to find a way to convince Wang Jie and minimize the loss.
