Chapter 238, New Windows
The 'Old Place', located just down the road from the Hollywood set, is an ordinary American tavern, not the kind of nightclub bar with high-end decorations and beautiful women.
⊙ top, X. No flashing colorful neon lights, no deafening DJ music, no bewitching hottie writhing wildly on the dance floor, the only decoration of the whole bar is the various wine bottles on the exterior wall and a few pool tables in the right corner, but other than that, there is nothing superfluous.
Every night, there are a lot of cast and crew on the set who like to come and sit at this quiet bar.
The so-called patient is nothing more than a group of people who have been busy for several days, getting together to drink and chat, and relax tense nerves.
After taking a sip of beer, the cold and refreshing feeling gradually spread throughout his body, and Lee Zaiting comfortably leaned back in his chair and quietly sat next to John and Tom, who were playing billiards and betting on beer.
Tom and John are new friends he met on the set, both of whom are assistant photographers, and in order to quickly settle into the new environment, he and these two guys come here every day to relax after a drink.
Recently, he has been exhausted, and he has been back for more than a month, and since he was recommended by his school teacher to work at this Hollywood company, he no longer remembers that he came to this bar.
Although the film and television production company owned by the University of Los Angeles alumnus is not large, it often receives many jobs for the filming of TV dramas.
In just one month, he worked as a coolie, moved things, worked as a driver, arranged props, built scenes, installed guide rails, held up camera lights, starred in a trick without lines, made a cameo appearance as a creature covered with a white cloth in the coroner's room of the police station, cameo as a masked robber who robbed a bank, and a cold-faced killer with sunglasses behind a drug tycoon.
Here, there are TV dramas completed and started every day, the highest record, there are 97 TV series filmed at the same time in a day, if you count movies, all the movies and TVs shot every day add up to hundreds of them.
This is Hollywood, which gathers more than 600 film and television companies in the United States, a tourist attraction on the East Coast of the United States, the birthplace of global fashion, the center of the global music and film industry, and has the world's top entertainment industry and luxury brands, leading and representing the highest level of global fashion.
In addition to these movie giants such as DreamWorks, Disney, Fox, Columbia, Sony Universal, Warner Bros., Paramount, and others, there are also the top record labels of rca.ji.
"Well, I don't know why you went to South Korea to be an actor in a place that is hard to find on the map, but the few scenes you appeared in were pretty good, of course, you still have a lot to learn, and if you're interested, I can recommend you to try it out on the set of Hollywood."
"The entertainment industry is a big dye vat, Hollywood, the Walk of Fame, and even the Oscars are the most dangerous whirlpool in the world's largest dye vat, where you can learn a lot as long as you don't lose yourself and stay for a long time."
Recalling the serious admonition of the school professor, Li Zaiting couldn't help but feel a little abrupt that it was because of 'he could learn a lot' that he came here to work to earn living expenses while enriching himself.
From the advent of the film industry and its development to the present day, only Hollywood has the most advanced ideas, technologies, and ideas.
Whether it's actors, directors, screenwriters, producers, cinematographers, gaffers, artists, soundtrack artists, prop masters, the best people in the world gather in this city.
It is full of all kinds of temptations, and in addition to money and fame, it is easy to get lost just by all kinds of beauties with star dreams.
"If you want to succeed, you need to work hard, there is no road called 'shortcut' in this world, if there is, that road will only lead to the gate of hell!"
"Hahaha"
"Oh! What the hell!! ”
Frustration and laughter sounded in vain, and as the No. 8 black ball was punched into the pocket, the 'high gamble' on the pool table also ended.
Putting away his thoughts, Li Zaiting surprised Tom with a dozen beers and slightly raised the corners of his mouth.
"Hey, Charles, would you like a game?!"
Seeing Li Zaiting looking over, John waved warmly.
"No more"
Li Zaiting smiled and shook his head, "You guys go on, don't worry about me." ”
"Charles, are you thinking about your graduation project again?!"
Seeing that Lee Jae-ting was not interested in fighting, John put down his club, picked up the wine glass, and returned to the wine table.
"Uh-huh!!"
Lee Jae-ting responded a little helplessly, the graduation exam of the directing department of the University of Los Angeles needs to make a work and submit it to the school, and then the professor can graduate if he is satisfied.
It's simple, but it's not.
Every year, many students who dream of directing are 'stuck' at this level, so they can't complete their studies, and until now, Lee Zaiting has no clue about his graduation work.
"Charles, you know?!"
Tom. Anderson also walked back, "Sometimes I don't believe that you are only 22 years old, every time I come out with you I always think that you are 42 years old, older than me, always sit quietly on the side, and do not go to find a beautiful woman to enjoy life, really like an old guy who has no fun in life." ”
"That's why I'm not going to play this childish game with you two little guys."
As he spoke, Li Zaiting picked up the wine glass and raised it to the two of them.
"Hell See"
Tom curled his eyebrows with a smile, "You mouth, you really should be a talk show host." ”
John shrugged and picked up his glass, "Well, I hope God works so hard, maybe he can get you to graduate early, cheers!" ”
"Cheers!!"
Li Zaiting smiled noncommittally and touched a glass with the two.
As the night deepened, the number of people in the bar gradually increased, and after a while, the whole bar seemed to be full.
In addition to the people who participated in the crew, there were many actors in the bar at the moment.
Among them, in addition to down-and-out actors and stage actors, there are also some well-known popular actresses in TV dramas.
Tom, who is 'sexual', straightens his hair and starts a new round of beauty hunting, and John finds someone to play billiards again.
Lee Jae-ting sat alone in the corner, drinking and silently looking at the scene in front of him, since the first week on the set, after a few distant superstar backs, he gradually lost interest in wasting time to meet female stars and develop deep friendships.
If necessary, he would like to know some directors, screenwriters, photographers, gaffers, etc., at least from these people to learn a lot.
As for developing a deep friendship with a beautiful female star, it's not that he's not interested, but now, no female star will be interested in an ordinary handyman without getting drunk.
"Charles, do you know that in the United States, there are millions of people who make a living by writing scripts, and every year, more than 55,000 scripts are registered with the Screenwriters Guild, and there are more than 100,000 scripts that are not registered, and there are only a few hundred scripts that can be made into movies, but these scripts have never had that first draft that would be directly invested in filming." A good script needs to be modified, changed, continued to be changed, and vigorously changed, this is the screenwriter's self-cultivation" "You have to learn to observe and learn to associate, such as the old man on the side, what do you think of?!" When the school teacher teaches you association, does it make you imagine what kind of past he has, he seems to be in decline, what kind of story happened to him, did he participate in the Vietnam War, killed people, was injured, met a beautiful woman in the jungle that saw no day, had a foreign love or was he kidnapped by aliens, or did he dig up the treasure of a pharaoh in Egypt, only to be robbed by his accomplices?! "Throw away all this useless garbage? You need quality, grasp the things behind, the academic mind has been fixed to death, whenever we need to associate it, it will always make us associate the past of the characters, not the future" "The conflict of the story is not absolute, six people walk", there are very few conflicts in each episode, but he is popular all over the world" "You know, when shooting the pursuit scene, in the last second of the tracking shot, you need to push the camera forward, so that the shooting effect will make the audience particularly nervous and exciting" "Why?! Well, I don't know why, it just works, as for why this kind of question, you should ask a psychologist" "Charles, the script is different from the novel, every scene and every character that appears will have a goal, you have to describe this goal clearly in the script, don't stress too much about what happened in the scene, few people will care about the past, you should emphasize the characters' actions, reactions, opposites, and the 'chasm' (a technical term for writing a screenplay)"" About the psychological characteristics of criminals ?! Oh, you have time to go to the city library, where there are many books on psychology, and I personally recommend the book written by the psychiatrist Ebing in 1872: The Compendium of Criminal Psychology, and the Austrian prosecutor and criminologist H. Gross, who published in 1889 the book "Criminal Psychology"... You can also read the work of Professor Sler, who is the director of the FBI's Institute for Abnormal Behavior and a Ph.D. professor of psychology at Harvard University, who has a unique track record in the field of anomalous killers. Now there are a lot of people in the underground music scene who advocate that music should not be classified, which is a very good idea, let's go there tomorrow night and challenge those idiots by the way" "As long as we are ready, we can move the props casually at that time, and then shoot from different angles, we can make one scene become another, and it can also save a lot of time and cost" When God closes a door, he opens a new windowThis book comes from/book/html/32/32082/
