180. Chapter XIX

"Where did you find such a genius?" Only a handful of people were invited to watch the first version of The Spell, except for Miss Robert and her friends, a few friends of Rosie and Cui, and a Wilson. Agents who can make a name for themselves in Hollywood must have something extraordinary, such as Wilson, who is good at negotiation and has a vicious vision. After the movie, he did not hesitate to express his appreciation, and quickly squeezed to Calvin's side, presented his business card, and chattered about himself and constantly said that he wanted to sign Calvin.

"Rofos door," Hearing Wilson's question, Cui Qi replied casually, holding his chin and still thinking about his performance, sure enough, something was wrong. He encountered a big problem when playing his sister and mother, the posture of men and women is completely different, as soon as he walks, he can immediately find the flaws in the clothes of men and women, and they can't be faker, just the role of his sister and mother, they spent more than half a month. For more than ten days, Cui Qi has not been able to meet Calvin's requirements, and they even considered finding another actor to play their sister and mother, but thinking of the integrity of the plot and the pitiful amount of funds, they still persevered. During this period, the most pressure was Cui Qi, who was very irritable by the bad performance that lasted for more than ten days, and he trained hard every night, but the problem of acting skills could not be improved overnight.

"Change to high heels and hip skirts," there was no breakthrough for several days, and Cui Qi finally agreed with Rosie's Jianyì, using his appearance to cover up his acting skills. The big picture is important, and in the case of insufficient funds, there is no more time for him to find a feeling, although there is a bit of a psychological barrier for this outfit.

"It's good to get used to mental disorders or something," Matt came over to help during the shooting. He had just finished the role of a shemale in a movie, and when he heard that Cui Qi couldn't cross the hurdle, he volunteered to come over as a guide, but was unanimously rejected by others because he acted too sassy.

"I'm playing a shemale, and my job is to call customers," he said, twisting his hips and sticking his waist into the eye. As a sturdy man who is five feet three thick, it is also his ability to play a ladyboy vividly, Calvin and Rosie are amazed by his acting skills, and Cui Qi knows that Matt has been bored in the room for two months for this role that has appeared for less than five minutes, pondering and imitating every day.

"If you don't go crazy, you can't live," Hollywood has actors who are trash cans as homeless people for their roles, actors who starve themselves to the point of skinny for their roles, and even geniuses who take drugs for their roles and finally fall to death...... In just a few months, Cui Qi has seen many people and heard many people's stories, which is more crazy than the domestic entertainment industry with moderation and subtlety in his nature, after he recovered from his illness, Cui Qi called his aunt and sister, and also talked with Fang Ruian.

"The role of the doll, you have been emphasizing that her essence is Eddie, I think ......" After reading the script, Fang Yingdi said his analysis: "He is a ghost, and the father, mother, and sister doll he plays can be completely separated from the original Eddie, their connection should be spiritually homogeneous, but externally they can be different individuals......"

Fang Yingdi's construction is very useful, and then Cui Qi's interpretation of his father can be said to be a perfect reproduction of Calvin's vision, Calvin and Rossi became more confident in the future of filming, but the result of relieving their hearts too early was that Cui Qi was on the performance of his mother and sister for more than ten days.

"You don't use the experiential method, you can't put yourself in the role and so on, you can't get yourself into the role......" Cui Qi didn't know why suddenly one day Fang Yingdi would persuade him like this, as if with an apologetic compensation, Fang Ruian told him a lot of acting skills, and the methods and skills he had accumulated in his acting career for more than ten years taught him unreservedly.

"Uncle Fang, are you going to stop shadowing?" Relying on just guessing, Cui Qi asked with a straight ball, and Fang Yingdi on the other end of the phone was dumbfounded, and said with some difficulty: "No...... It's just that...... Not too reassuring......"

“?” Cui Qi's doubts accumulated, but he didn't get an answer, and the topic was brought to the issue of acting skills by Fang Yingdi.

"Don't learn that kind of crazy demon, acting is not desperate, no matter what role, the important thing is a humanized contradiction in his heart, whether it is a decent villain, the important thing is to be a person, and then design the action according to the characteristics of the character......" Fang Ruian was saying, Cui Qi was listening, but his mind was on Eddie, he thought he could play better.

"Oh my God! Oh my God! A week after the release of "Spells," Calvin rushed to Cui Xi's rented room and dragged him out of his room, panting with his short legs. At that time, Cui Qi was bored in the room to imitate because he was dissatisfied with his acting skills, and he was still unhappy when he was dragged out, but he was shocked by the news brought by Calvin.

"We've won the prize! Our film has won an award! ”

"What?" Cui was stunned.

"Movie review! Film Critics Association Awards! Calvin was so excited that his whole body glowed.

"Oh," Unexpectedly, Cui Qi didn't react much, and he went back to his room to stare at the movie on the screen.

"We became dark horses, you know, the whole of Hollywood exploded!" Imagining the expressions of all the audience at the awards ceremony, Calvin couldn't help but laugh.

Hollywood was really shocked by this dark horse, dwarfism is still a director from a non-professional background, an unknown poor photographer, plus an actor from the East, this configuration is not competitive in any way, the only thing that can be said is probably the editor, after watching the first version of "Even Curse", Miss Robert is very satisfied with the movie, and added an ending under her Jianyì, "There are children missing in the town, and the police search the manor and find five bones," Later, Miss Robert asked Sallor, a well-known editor in Hollywood, to re-edit, which was a very correct decision, and the final success earned her 100 million. "Spells" has taken the United States by storm.

"Have you watched "Even Spells"? Who is the murderer? ”

"Is it really a curse? Why is there a doll's curse? ”

"There is a really strange scene, will the doll appear too suddenly, before my sister said that she never played with dolls, so where did this doll come from?"

"If the others were killed by Add, then who killed Eddie?"

"There are four people in Eddie's family, five bones, and who is one of the dead?"

"Isn't that kid?"

"No, the little kid found it, but he had the doll in his hand"

"Did you notice, the doll's mouth is smiling this time, and it has been crying before"

"Who the hell is the ghost?"

……

"I don't think it's a horror movie at all, I thought so at first, it's a little weird, yes, weird, the people in this family are not normal, but it's not scary, at least at the end of the movie I don't feel much, but wait until the evening, wait until the next day, the third day, especially when you're alone, see the shadows of the shaking branches, see the swirling water vortex in the bathroom, see the shaking candlesticks...... I screamed, it was a terrible feeling, the silence of the emptiness, and I couldn't help but wonder if there would be a corpse buried under the flower bed in my house...... You know, I've always loved horror movies, it's scary, it doesn't have scary ghosts, it's just some everyday, everyday, everyday, because it's familiar, it's easy for me to find weird, and it makes me feel terrified. “

"It's scary, I'm timid, my boyfriend watched with me, and when we saw the puppet appear, we screamed together, it was really scary!"

"The best thing is the details, the movie has a lot of memories, and it makes people feel weird inadvertently, and gradually, we will be attracted by these weirdness, we will think about it, the more we think about it, the more terrible it feels, we can't find the answer, we can't find the murderer, and the suspense is even more frightening."

……

A piece of fame, this is the current situation of Calvin and Cui Qi. Wilson smiled from ear to ear, and then he looked at the table full of commercial blockbuster scripts and lamented bitterly, Cui Xi still chose independent films, he participated in many auditions and received many films, all of which were contradictory and complex roles, but all of them were small supporting roles. "Even Curse" can only be said to be lucky, an Oriental wants to be the protagonist in European and American films, and everyone, including Cui Qi himself, feels a little whimsical.

"Do you want to take on a new challenge?" There's no shortage of whimsical people in Hollywood, and when Matt Smith handed out an olive branch to Cui, Wilson's expression was exaggerated enough to fit two eggs.

"The acting isn't so much in the complexity of the characters, it's in the touching," said Smith as the pianist played the moonlight in a retro bar, shaking the glass of red wine.

Cui Qi is indeed confused, he tries various types of roles, but he soon finds that he has no breakthrough.

"You need a suitable character," said Matt a few years later, as familiar as an old friend, with a gentle air in the air.

Matt's mention is very tempting, but at the same time, Cui Qi is a little resistant, Matt is very good at guiding the actor's feelings, he still remembers the Dino commercial that year, for a director who seems to be able to see through a qiē, Cui Qi is considering.

"Anosi, he's a good model, go see his legend, you're going to love him," Matt handed him another concocted glass of Manishewitz, "you can play this role well." ”
