Chapter 18: Actors

Jeremy saw Sid's contemptuous smile and asked curiously, "Sid, aren't you optimistic about Titanic either?"

"Huh?" Sid came back to his senses, "What did you say, Jeremy?"

"I said you weren't optimistic about Titanic either?"

"No, what I despise is these stupid and superficial media. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info" Sid smirked dismissively.

"Are you optimistic about Titanic?" exclaimed Amy Adams in surprise.

"Need to be so surprised?" Sid grumbled, covering his ears.

"Hey, sorry. Amy Adams smiled and apologized, "But are you really optimistic about "Titanic"?

"Don't say the same thing twice, or the reader will think I'm lying on the word count!" Sid said speechlessly.

"But everyone said that "Titanic" would definitely fail. Amy Adams said.

Just because everybody agrees with something doesn't mean it's right. Sid smiled deeply, "Hundreds of years ago, everyone thought that the sun revolved around the earth. ”

"So, why do you think Titanic will be a success?" Jeremy asked curiously.

"Then why do you think it's going to fail?" Sid asked with a smile.

"The cost is too high. "Jeremy.

"It's too long. "Amy Adams.

"Actors are not famous. "Jeremy.

"All water-related movies are bad movies!" the two finally said in unison.

"Huh. Hearing the endless objections between the two, Sid laughed unhurriedly.

"Whew~~~, you have nothing to say, Sid. Jeremy and Amy Adams said happily that they had defeated Sid for the first time.

"Whether a movie sells well or not, whether it is successful or not, is only related to two things. Sid held up a finger and smiled confidently: "First, the quality of the movie." Second, the effect of publicity. ”

"Have you seen the Titanic?" Sid asked with a smile.

"Well, the movies weren't released, of course not. Amy Adams shook her head thoughtfully.

"Have you seen the trailer?" Sid asked.

"There is no trailer yet. Jeremy shook his head.

"Well, it's too early to tell. Sid knocked on the table and laughed.

"Jeremy, Amy. Looking at the two thoughtful, Sid smiled and continued, "If you two really want to follow the path of actors, then what I want to suggest to you is that there are only two things that are most important to an actor. ”

"What's the matter?" the two asked solemnly.

"First, your acting skills. Sid held up a finger and smiled, "Second, the vision of the film." ”

"It doesn't matter if you're acting or experiential, it's important to be diligent in exercising and dare to challenge yourself. ”

"Is exercise useful?" asked Amy Adams, hesitantly.

"Huh. Sid laughed, "This is the latest research from brain scientists, and anyone who wants to achieve extraordinary things in any field must go through 10,000 hours of continuous training to become an expert in that field." ”

"Ten thousand hours?" asked Amy Adams, surprised.

"Yes, that is, twelve hours a day, in the early two years. Sid shrugged lightly.

"I'll go, you're so easy to say. Jeremy complained.

"I only said it worked, but I didn't say it would be easy, and if it were that simple, wouldn't everyone be Robert De Niro and Meryl Streep. Sid laughed, "And don't think that as long as you accumulate 10,000 hours, you must be persistent throughout the exercise process, and you must continue to deepen your ability step by step." Don't rush into challenging things that are too much beyond your current abilities, and don't waste time going back on what you've already learned. ”

"What about the selection of films?" asked Amy Adams.

Well, the simplest explanation for this matter is not to choose bad movies, choose good films to shoot, and it is best to be a potential blockbuster that is not favored. Sid's words made Jeremy and Amy Adams laugh in unison.

"Of course, no one wants to make a bad movie. Jeremy laughs.

"But what is really related to the selection of films is not the vision, but your acting path. Sid said with a sharp look in his eyes.

"Drama?" asked Amy Adams curiously.

"Well, in a big way, there is a distinction between idols and acting. Sid stuck out his finger again, "For example, Tom Cruise is suitable for "Mission Impossible", but if Tom Hanks plays it, it will definitely be nondescript." ”

"Poof!" the two of them laughed as they imagined Tom Hanks jumping around in an agent suit, "That's true." ”

But Tom Hanks' most suitable "Forrest Gump", Tom Cruise will definitely not be able to act. Sid's words immediately caused the two of them to nod their heads again and again.

"So even the most versatile actors and the most talented idols need to understand their own acting paths and choose the type of film they want to take. This is called knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent, and not being defeated in a hundred battles. Sid summed it up in a nutshell.

"Yes, I see what you mean. The two nodded.

"Nahid......" Amy Adams squirmed suddenly.

Sid looked at her with a smile, "What? Amy, what's the matter with you?" Sid knew that she wanted to ask herself about her analysis of the actor, but she was too embarrassed to ask, so Sid deliberately didn't say anything.

Looking at the two of them playing tricks and twisting the other, Jeremy said with a headache: "I said you two have played enough, Sid, you can spare Amy." ”

"Hee-hee, okay. Sid shrugged and smiled, "Amy, you're sexy and have a special exotic look, so you should play to your strengths." ”

"A vase?" jeremy quipped.

"Die!" Amy Adams laughed and kicked him angrily.

"With your appearance, you're suitable for a conflicting, expressive character, so of course you're a strong person, and your ballet experience can also be your advantage. Sid said with a smile.

Amy Adams's later life experience also shows that although she has the qualifications of a vase, she has a powerful heart, and all the movies that have turned her career around, changed, and even taken off are all dramas with exquisite acting skills.

"As for Jeremy, you're simpler. Sid said, "As you said, you are neither handsome nor strong. But your temperament is shrewd and capable, and you have a fierce aura. So you're more suited to characters with strong conflict and tension, such as agents, soldiers, killers, journalists, lawyers, and so on. ”

Seeing the thoughtful looks of both of them, Sid knew they needed to take some time to digest their words.

He then walked out of the living room and onto the lawn in the backyard to look at the sun. Sid remembered with great ambition that the "Titanic" that had just been attacked, and realized that his future road would never be smooth.

But that's what makes it fun!

Sid licked his lips and laughed domineeringly.

Let me have fun, Hollywood.

――――――――――――――――――――

"Amy, Jeremy, this is the last set of shots, are you ready?" Sid looked at Jeremy and Amy and smiled confidently, "We'll be done with this set of shots!"

The curtains were drawn tightly throughout the house, and although the sun was shining outside, it was dark inside, and Jeremy and Amy were both wearing pajamas, and they nodded to get ready.

This is the eighth day since the start of filming of the movie, Sid and they have been filming continuously for more than a week, although they have encountered many problems during this period, fortunately, with the help of everyone's collective efforts and Sid's impromptu response, the problems have finally been solved, and the difficulties cannot stop Sid's progress.

The filming process then comes to the last scene of the script, and as soon as this set of shots is completed, the filming of "Ghost Record" is complete!

In the story, after the protagonist and the young couple move to this new house, they experience various supernatural events, such as hearing some strange sounds from the first floor late at night, such as the sound of scratching the wall and strange noises. Later, the heroine "Katie" invited a psychic, but her boyfriend "Mika" was very unimpressed.

At the same time, the supernatural phenomena in the room intensified after the psychic came, from the footsteps that first hit the furniture, to the supernatural objects that openly moved in front of them. The protagonists begin to be afraid, and they try all kinds of things to no avail.

Eventually, the day before the psychic arrived, the two young couples squeezed into the already nightmare bedroom again. At midnight, "Katie", who had been asleep in bed, suddenly got up, stared at "Mika" by the bed for more than an hour, and then walked out of the bedroom and went downstairs.

After a half-silence, suddenly her shrill screams came from downstairs! Awakened by the sleeping "Mika", he hurried out of the bedroom, and rushed downstairs to shout "Katie's" name and question her situation. But "Katie's" screams show no signs of stopping. On the contrary, "Mika" also began to scream, and at the same time, there was a sound of objects hitting downstairs, and then "Mika"'s screams became weaker and weaker, and the screams of the two came to an abrupt end with the heavy impact!

Then,It's a long silence.,And this whole paragraph is outside the DV camera.,The audience can only speculate about the situation of the protagonists with anxiety.。 The long silence is like an invisible monster devouring the audience's heart, how to end the story perfectly at this last high groove?

It's easy! just smash the fear element in their face and scare them head-on.

After a long silence that borders on suffocation, anything that pops out of the blues can startle a person. This is the origin of the fear of the monster under the bed, the dark wardrobe, which is the most primitive human stress instinct.

It's simple, but it's effective.
