"Rest assured, Endeavor Elite Company doesn't have too many big customers now, which is why they attach great importance to us and are willing to you, this TV series, they will fully support us, there is absolutely no problem in this regard. As for the actors...... Nick, an actor from any agency, will not have the problem of not being enough, especially for filming TV series, there are definitely people who are willing to come. ”

There are many actors in Hollywood, because the competition is fierce and because jobs are difficult to find, so in Hollywood, many people need to worry about all the time, not how to become famous, but how to survive. Because of this, TV series shooting is sometimes more exciting than movie shooting: TV series shooting may not provide such a high return as a movie, nor can it provide such a high popularity as a movie, but there are more actors used in TV series shooting, and some important roles, once signed for five years, can allow actors to have a long-term landing, which also makes many actors more favored TV series.

The filming of the TV series definitely requires a lot of manpower, a better starring role, the company's remuneration per episode is close to 10,000 yuan, and even the lowest-level extras have to be paid 8 US dollars an hour, and the crew has to be responsible for lunch and dinner, if the crew goes out to shoot the crew, they have to be responsible for the travel expenses, such a remuneration does not seem high, but if you consider that there are tens of thousands of people waiting to grab such an opportunity with you, then, no matter how low it is, there are people who are willing to come.

One of the best things about crime dramas is that people die in every episode, and someone gets caught in every episode. Such a TV series needs to change actors for a long time, and it does require a lot of manpower. However, even if a crime drama can kill people, it is impossible to kill tens of thousands of people in the TV series, and there is no need to take on the problem of actors, there are more than enough personnel.

"If there is no problem with the agency, let's discuss the casting. The question of the starring role, you decide, leave the decision of some other minor characters to me, I will definitely not mess it up. After Alexander assured, Clark was the first to jump out and start talking, "You're a producer, an assistant producer, a writer, I'm nothing, so I'm asking to be a casting director - I'm from the Casting Directors Guild, and I have the qualifications." ”

"But you joined that guild to do a couch audition—you told us." Bob unveiled his old bottom on the side, "We're starting a business, you can't do this with our TV series." ”

For Bob's words, Levy agreed in his heart: he also felt that in the entrepreneurial stage, it was better not to be nonsense. As for Clark's idea, if he wants to meet it in the future, there is a chance. As long as you make a movie, are you afraid that you won't have a chance to mess around? Levy knew these things very well.

"Clark, this work determines our life and death, you can't do nonsense." Levy opened his mouth, "You can be elected as the role director, but you have to promise me that in this work, we must decide which actor to choose based on acting skills." ”

Levy also spoke, he did not refuse Clark's request, but did make it. Because he knows very well that if he doesn't ask for it, his friends may really come to him.

Because it's so common in Hollywood.

Of course, some people may think that Hollywood is a commodity society, and the commodity society is doing business, how can anyone be nonsense? But for this kind of thought, Levy can only smile speechlessly: any industry claims to have mature rules and no shady scenes, but which industry has no unspoken rules? Even the civil service examination, all kinds of unspoken rules are still emerging, even large companies, there are also public relations departments, how great is the film industry, it can be out of the mud without staining, no matter how dark other industries in society are, it has become a pure land?

Hollywood is a circle of fame and fortune, and movies, drugs, and arms are called the three major profiteering industries, and everyone knows that in this industry, once you become famous, you can make huge profits -- Marx's words are no longer correct, 300% can immediately make people do all kinds of evil, and in Hollywood, the difference between fame and non-fame is far more than three times. The income of a young actor from acting is only eight dollars an hour, and the income of a big star can even reach 20 million or more for a play, and the difference is even tens of thousands of times, 3 times the benefits, which is enough to make people unscrupulous, tens of thousands of times the benefits, what changes can be brought? Driven by huge profits, it is not surprising that people do anything.

Some people may ask, how can a movie often involve tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions of investment income, to get performance opportunities by unsightly means? Isn't this the director having trouble with himself? What if the characters used are inappropriate and the box office is not good?

But when talking like this, I often ignore some things: How many movies are there a year with an investment of tens of millions?

The number of movies released in Hollywood a year is about 500, and among these movies, there are only about 100 blockbusters shot by big companies. And what are the remaining 400? It's all indie. Of these 400 films, 200 can be regarded as big productions - that is, the investment is more than 1 million, and the rest are all movies that dare to start filming for 200,000 yuan, and the total production does not exceed 1 million. Big movies may consider the box office, but many small-budget movies are not box office-oriented - producers and directors don't think about the box office at all, and what are they afraid of affecting the box office?

This has created a more interesting situation: even if it is a top Hollywood movie, there are indeed no unspoken rules, but those movies are too difficult for most people to participate in. 80% of the chances may have unspoken rules, such a market, you have to point to the remaining 20% of the chances to say that orderly, happy and healthy, that is self-deception - but in fact, Hollywood has not thought to deceive anyone, whether it is the media or actors, do not deny the existence of various phenomena, what is really strongly denied, that is, some fanatical fans who are extremely obsessed with movie stars and think that under the halo of stars, everything is a beautiful heaven, they find it difficult for them to accept that their idols will wear transparent at auditions** Let the director watch, it's also hard to accept, their dream lover will be in the RV, and the actor in the same crew forgets the time, and the whole crew listens to the play, the same reason, they are also difficult to accept, those actors who look extremely innocent and start shooting love movies are actually brilliant all the way out - although everyone knows what an independently produced love movie is, but for fans, they have to deny it vigorously.

What's more, for Hollywood, is it good that film shooting, not to mention how chaotic independent films are, is a big production?

Although people know that big-budget movies need box office, how many big-budget movies need women to support the box office? Among the big-budget movies, the most classic, sci-fi and action are enduring, neither of these types of movies can be starred by women, and in the future, hero movies and other blockbusters, it is not a question of whether women have it - who cares which Rachel in the Batman trilogy plays it? Who watched Superman to see if Louise was beautiful? Not even to mention Thor, the heroine is just a soy sauce, and the brother is king...... For a movie like this, what does it matter to change the protagonist? In fact, the Transformers have really changed, so what if they are changed? Anyway, everyone is watching Optimus Prime, who cares about the heroine in particular?

The statement that the so-called big production must carefully select the heroine is indefensible in itself. Because of who the heroine is, many times it doesn't affect the viewing of the movie at all.

There are more than 50,000 actors in Hollywood, how do you stand out among these people? Some opportunities aren't glamorous, but should you use them? For many actors, it is a question worth thinking about. Of course, there are people who have their own moral standards and may reject it because of it, and may leave because of it. But Hollywood has never lacked trust, and those who have left will be filled by newcomers, and those who have refused may waste time for it. Once the competition is fierce, morality is difficult to guarantee.

In Hollywood, actresses making sacrifices for the sake of opportunity are nothing new at all. Even, for the sake of opportunities, the sacrifices made by male actors and even child stars are not new at all. Many child stars in Hollywood claim to have been treated inappropriately when they were children, and actresses often blow themselves up and encounter sofa auditions - of course, they all claim that they resolutely refused - these things are not news for a long time.

It may seem strange to some: Isn't this Hollywood actor similar to a Playboy cover girl? However, the truth is so cruel: Hollywood actors, who have been cover girls in Playboy, originally had a lot of them, thinking that there is a difference between the two, Monroe must be the first to express his dissatisfaction. Not to mention Playboy, he is an actor who made romantic action movies in San Fernando, and there are many people who have participated in TV series and movies.

Of course, it cannot be denied that some celebrities are already very famous, and they don't need to worry about unspoken rules when acting. For example, a star like Tom Hanks, he is willing to make a movie to save face, who dares to ask him?

Or, some actors who pursue more unique behaviors, they don't value fame and money, and even, some actors don't accept commercials, endorsements, or participate in all commercial and promotional activities outside of filming, but they don't like to act in dramas or anything - for example, Woody Allen, even the Oscars can be dismissed, and they go to the bar every week to play the clarinet but are very fixed, such people don't care about anything.

Or...... Having a rich and powerful background can also solve all problems. For example, Roonemara, who has a billionaire father and a grandfather who is a parliamentarian, naturally doesn't care about anything.

But these people are only a minority after all. How many people can act extraordinary? How many people are determined to pursue art and don't care about fame and fortune? As for having a good father, it is even rarer. The vast majority of people are still addicted to Vanity Fair. Any place where fame and fortune are entangled cannot be clean. These people who are entangled in Vanity Fair are naturally not immune.

Hollywood is a cruel place for film companies, but why not for actors? The front of the camera is glamorous, and the back of the camera is struggling and ups and downs, this is Hollywood.
