478, the alternative Shen Qiushan
"Please follow this script and start your performance. Shen Qiushan said expressionlessly.
"Oh, I haven't even read this script, so how do I play it? I think we should first talk about my treatment, after all, I'm also a member of the Screen Actors Guild. The black guy sitting opposite Shen Qiushan stretched out a finger and shook it.
"Then, put down the script in your hand and you can go out. Shen Qiushan was not surprised, and ordered directly.
"Well, listen man, if you don't hire me, it's really your loss, I promise. The black guy stumbled off the script, shrugged his shoulders, and turned away.
It's just that when he arrived at the door, he hadn't heard Shen Qiushan shout to stop him, his face suddenly sank, and he turned his head a little annoyed.
Without waiting for the black guy to speak, Shen Qiushan said directly: "I'm very busy here, I don't have time to talk nonsense, go out." ”
The black guy glared at Shen Qiushan viciously, then turned around and left in a huff.
"Brother Shan, if it weren't for the fact that I knew you very well, I really didn't know that it was the first time for you to choose a role in the United States, which is great, and you have to go straight to deal with these people. Xiang Feilong said with a smile.
Because of the existence of the actors' union, these American actors are difficult to get along with, each of them has their own personality, and one thing they have in common is that for foreign directors, they will join forces to squeeze, and if the director or producer is weak, the salary of these guys will be amazing.
There is no longer more than one Chinese director or island country director who has suffered here, and even the filming cost of the film has to be increased again and again because of the high salary of the actors, resulting in a significant increase in the budget of the film.
Time passed minute by minute, a whole day passed, and he was only the first supporting actor, and he didn't even audition for one.
"America is a country of high efficiency and a lazy country, and they are efficient when it comes to money, but at work, they are lazy. Xiang Feilong obviously knew that this was the result, and patted Shen Qiushan's shoulder with a smile and comforted.
This is the reason why Xiang Feilong must pull Shen Qiushan over, after all, if he will shoot in the United States in the future, if the director is not familiar with some of these things at all, the crew will not be able to complete the run-in in a short time, and the efficiency of shooting will be greatly reduced.
The director not only guides the actors to perform the pictures he wants, but also the person with the heaviest authority in the entire residence, all departments, makeup, lighting, props, outreach, sundries, as small as the extras' lunches, as large as the hiring of actors, and the construction of the scene needs the director's decision.
Don't underestimate these little things, if the coordination and communication are not good, and one link goes wrong, the entire crew will be delayed.
"Qiu Ming will be here tomorrow afternoon, I don't have time to waste on this, if there is no suitable actor tomorrow, maybe that Fix is not bad. Shen Qiushan thought of Fix again.
"No, I've inquired, Fix is just a fifth-tier actor in the United States, and the films he participates in are mainly extras, and occasionally he plays a special actor, such an actor is not well-known in the United States, and he can't attract the box office. Xiang Feilong directly rejected Shen Qiushan's proposal.
Compared with Huaxia, the United States is more interested in the value of actors, fifth-tier actors, equivalent to actors in Huaxia's eighteenth line, and even compared to the situation, although Shen Qiushui was an eighteenth-tier actor, he was also a little stronger than Fix.
"Brother Long, don't worry, there are no American stars in my "Operation Red Sea", but it is still very popular, not to mention that this time with you. ”
"No, no, Brother Shan, this is different, war movies have a big market in the United States, but action movies are completely different. Xiang Feilong hurriedly explained.
"No, it all seems the same to me. Shen Qiushan really didn't want to waste time, he said with a smile: "It's decided, wait until I inform Fix to audition tomorrow, and tomorrow Thomas's actor will also be found, everything will be complete." ”
Seeing Shen Qiushan's firm tone, Xiang Feilong didn't want to argue, so he could only reply weakly: "Okay, listen to you, after all, you are the director, and if this is the case, it will make you look very different in the American entertainment industry." ”
"Haha, alternative is also a topic, alternative is also the focus, rest assured, rest assured. Shen Qiushan laughed and comforted Xiang Feilong.
The previous life, "Rush Hour", received great praise after its release, and was even one of the hottest films to hit the Oscars at that time.
It was only because the director at that time knew too little about Huaxia that there were many 'hard flaws' in the film, and the logic was continuously wrong, which made this film miss the Oscars.
But the reason why Shen Qiushan chose this film is not only the masterpiece of Brother Long in the previous life, but also the fights in it, and even the scene of the high-altitude banner falling at the end shocked everyone, and he is the ancestor of the high danger of action movies.
For a long time behind Brother Long in the previous life, the action of sliding from a high altitude often appeared, and every time it was surprising, it was definitely the biggest highlight.
Of course, when Shen Qiushan wrote the script, he completely revised these criticisms, after all, even he couldn't stand these hard injuries, and he couldn't even cry or laugh.
……
Times Square Hotel.
Shen Qiushan and the others settled here when they twisted their waists.
In Xiang Feilong's words, shooting is hard and hard, so don't treat yourself badly, enjoy it when you deserve it.
It's just that the price of nearly two thousand dollars a room a night really makes Shen Qiushan a little painful.
Walking into the palatial hotel lobby, Shen Qiushan saw a black man in the rest area from a distance.
It was he who was going to inform Fix.
Seeing Shen Qiushan, Fix's eyes suddenly lit up, and he immediately went straight to Shen Qiushan.
"Hey, bro, didn't expect to meet you here. Fix happily stretched out his fist.
Holding back his mouth, Shen Qiushan said without the slightest politeness: "Brother Fix, it seems that you have also learned to open your eyes and talk nonsense." ”
"Oh, okay! I've been waiting for you here for over two hours, damn it, I haven't eaten dinner. Fix was defeated suddenly, paying attention to the art of speaking, observing words and feelings, he was a black man, where was the opponent of the Chinese.
"I don't know if you've been waiting for me for so long, what's the matter?, or do you want to play a role in my film?" asked Shen Qiushan with a smile.
"Oh, no, I know who I am, I'm just a fifth-tier actor, and I don't even have the qualifications to be an extra for your Oscar-winning film. Fix shook his head and said, "I came with a friend, he knew that I knew the Oscar director, and thought I was bragging, damn it, when is the Fix dude going to talk big, I brought him over, of course, he also wants to play a singing role in your film, even if it is the smallest role, at least it will give him an income, otherwise those guys in the tax office will make poor Tom homeless with his daughter." ”
