Chapter 615: The Oriental Liar
Originally a suburb of Los Angeles, California, on the west coast of the United States, Hollywood has grown into the ultimate home of global filmmakers, a world-renowned film center, specifically referring to the American film industry. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
It is also known as the holy land of the world film industry, the birthplace of global fashion, and the center of the global music and film industry, with the world's top entertainment industry and luxury brands, leading and representing the highest level of global fashion.
Many honors have attracted countless attention from all over the world, which cannot be done overnight. In addition to the historical accumulation over the past century, it is also inseparable from various systems and organizations that Hollywood has formed spontaneously and is constantly improving.
For example, the Screen Actors Guild of America, which is a huge existence that can paralyze the Hollywood film industry, Mai Xiaoyu and Zhang Xiaoquan deeply realized the strength of this organization in the process of interviewing actors.
Before coming to the United States, Mai Xiaoyu had already conducted a preliminary selection of actors who came to interview through remote video.
As a result of the primary, there were only three candidates left for each of the eight characters needed for "This Man is from Earth".
This time, Mai Xiaoyu and Zhang Xiaoquan came to the United States to audition and cast on the spot, and selected the most suitable eight from the 24 actors.
However, before the audition casting began, I was notified that two of the candidates passed the audition casting of other crews in the United States and were picked out. Fortunately, these two candidates are not interviewing for the same role, which is not a problem for the crew to audition and casting.
In the process of audition and casting, director Zhang Xiaoquan is the main director, Mai Xiaoyu's external identity is the director and translator, and Ke Haoyi is still a bodyguard.
During the on-site audition, Mai Xiaoyu fully realized the difference between American group performances and domestic group performances.
The attitude of the audition is much the same, they all want to get the role, but when it comes to working hours, pay and other benefits, there is a huge difference.
In China, if the extras have the opportunity to star in the movie, the treatment is easy to talk about. Even for some people, as long as they have the opportunity, even if they don't give money.
But the United States is different.
Salary, food, insurance, work-related injury compensation and other things related to the interests of actors are all indispensable, even if it is a group performance!
The minimum guaranteed wage, the maximum working time limit per day, overtime pay in excess of normal working hours, a relatively comfortable working environment, eating environment, daily meals, etc., are placed in Huaxia...... You're just a group performer!
It's good to have filming, what kind of bicycle do you want!
If you want to shoot it, you can shoot it, if you don't shoot it, it's still the old saying - a three-legged toad is hard to find, and a two-legged person grabs a handful!
As for what kind of eating environment, the number of meals per day, just kidding!
In order to save Chen Ben and save the breakfast expenses of group performances, some crews deliberately start the film after 8 o'clock in the morning;
White rice with pickles...... In the United States, group performances can wedge the lunch box in your face on the spot, don't expect to shoot the scene, wait for the actors' union to come forward to talk to you.
The Screen Actors Guild is so strong, and it even started to hold the Screen Actors Guild Awards a long time ago, and the degree of attention is not low, and many big-name Hollywood stars are also union members, so you can imagine the energy of this organization.
Huaxia also has an actors' union. For example, Hengdian Film and Television City, which is jokingly called by actors as "either filming in Hengdian, or on the way to Hengdian to film", also has an actors' union. But compared with the Screen Actors Guild of America, it is completely different in terms of scale, level, nature, and influence.
From the perspective of the long-term and healthy development of the domestic film and television industry, this kind of standardization and institutionalization of the American Actors Guild is very important, but from the perspective of its own interests, Mai Xiaoyu loves the domestic Actors Guild.
Looking at the selected actors, when talking about the contract treatment, around a certain clause in the contract, Mai Xiaoyu misses the cute members very much.
Although there are only members of Yanjing, Shancheng, and Donghai now, these members are really the cutest people.
When I "recruit" the lambs in the other six places, Kyushu will be pacified, and I will definitely shoot a TV series for you!
Although the Screen Actors Guild of America is very standardized and claims to use a variety of means to restrict "flesh and body for roles", everyone knows that the unspoken rules prevail in the entertainment industry all over the world...... The birthplace is Hollywood!
From Marilyn Monroe in the early years, who said in her autobiography, "Yes, I slept with the producer, everyone is like that, if you don't do it, there will be another girl waiting outside the door", "I don't remember how many times I squatted down and unzipped them", to today's "sofa audition", the unspoken rules have been sublimated like a phoenix in Hollywood, and have been called "rules of the game".
"Yu'er, doesn't it mean that in the United States, as long as the director tells the girl in the interview to give her a minute to show herself, there is a high probability that the girl will immediately unbutton and undress?"
After finishing the casting of the role of "Linda Murphy", watching the young actress who came to audition leave, Zhang Xiaoquan asked Mai Xiaoyu in a low voice.
Mai Xiaoyu looked at him speechlessly: "What do you want? If you direct a movie with an investment of millions of dollars and choose a heroine or an important supporting actress, I guarantee that some American girls want to sleep with you." ”
"That's right...... Don't look at me like that, I'm just curious, I'm going to be a father. ”
"Happy to be a father?"
"× a ×, Lao Xi's × goods!"
……
Three days later, all eight actors of "This Man is from Earth" were selected.
Historian, biologist, devout Christian professor, anthropologist, another historian, archaeologist, student and lover of the aergypt and psychologist who lived for 14,000 years.
Among the eight actors, there are black and white, men and women, old and young, tall and short, fat and thin.
Zhang Xiaoquan sent their respective scripts and lines to them in advance, the English version.
After the eight actors signed the film contract, they needed to familiarize themselves with the script and memorize the lines in advance, and this sci-fi movie is completely advanced in the form of dialogue, and the lines are very important.
Zhang Xiaoquan was not idle, and seized the time to get acquainted with the crew. The crew is very small, with less than 20 staff members, and the translator for Zhang Xiaoquan is a professional translator found by Shi Hao, a woman.
Mai Xiaoyu left it alone again, leaving Ke Haoyi with Zhang Xiaoquan as a bodyguard to protect his personal safety. I borrowed a Cadillac and a driver from Shi Hao to find the little lambs scattered in the United States.
"Hello, are you Kristen Jermez Stewart?"
"It's me, who are you?"
"Dead Bunny, remember me?"
"Is that you?"
There was a whisper on the phone, and the voice was muffled.
Vaguely, Mai Xiaoyu heard a man's extremely angry voice on the other end of the phone: "Is it the Oriental liar who cheated you out of $10,000 in Cannes a few years ago?"
