The knowledge of movie casting is very deep, not only the underground doorways with unspoken rules, but also the logic and coordination of appearance and acting skills, the audience's eyes, salary, the popularity and topicality of the actors, and so on.

And the choice of the protagonist is naturally the top priority, it is the foundation and skeleton of all other casting, it is impossible to use a black man as the male protagonist but pick a Latino to play her biological mother, and for youth films, it is impossible to make any female supporting actress who is complete in figure and appearance The better, so the sooner the protagonist is decided, the better, especially the protagonist with a complex relationship between the characters in the play.

"APLUS, IS THIS ONE OKAY?"

As the male protagonist who can't be shaken, Song Ya went to Universal Studios at the appointed time and took makeup photos there.

"Yes." He glanced at the crumpled gray-green jacket in the costume artist's hand, which was the same as the male protagonist in the script and the original movie, and nodded in agreement. According to the setting, the male protagonist comes from a poor family in a black area, and the clothes must be in line with the family income, and he can only advertise his products by the way on the premise of satisfying the sense of reality, such as the T-shirt under the jacket is the product of A+ clothing.

Amperin Entertainment's account management is very professional, this kind of soft advertising also has to give money, of course, the main investors in the industry they only charge a symbolic price, and most of the expenses of A+ clothing are to provide the costumes of the protagonists and supporting characters for free. In addition to the clothes, they also received musical instrument sponsorship from Yamaha, school bag sponsorship from Jansport, the amount is not large, and there is nothing else, indicating that most advertisers are not optimistic about the film, otherwise they can recoup a lot of costs just by selling the camera advertising.

In addition, consumer electronics such as mobile phones and laptops used by actors in the original movie rarely appear among students in this era, which is a big pity.

As for the fluorescent party, the lawsuit in New York is still fighting, Amperin Entertainment and Universal don't want to ask for trouble, and the production of Barn Company itself is at full capacity, so Song Ya did not insist.

After changing his clothes and walking to the well-lit small studio, Song Ya began to pose with the facial paralysis expression of the male protagonist.

"Keep your head high, yes, that's it, keep it up." The male photographer kept pressing the shutter, "Okay, let's change the position, you're going to ...... like this"

He approached and demonstrated for himself, such as smiling brightly with his thumb and forefinger open at the chin position, putting his hands in his pockets, holding his hands in front of his chest, etc., "This way, this way...... By constantly changing postures, we will be much more efficient. ”

"Like a model?" Song Ya asked.

"You're my model APLUS now."

"Okay."

Song Ya kept switching POSE, and after the photographer was satisfied, he changed into the next set of clothes, and tossed for two or three hours before he finished the work.

"Does everyone want to shoot?" Song Ya changed back into her clothes and took the gold watch and gold chain that Taragi had helped to put on.

"Yes, the main characters, and the others don't work as hard as the male and female protagonists." The photographer replied: "When the heroine is chosen, you will come to take makeup photos for us, and there will be various promotional photos, on-set photos, documentary short films, etc. during the filming ......"

"It just sounds like a lot of work." Song Ya said.

"This is just the beginning." The photographer counted the film and smiled: "APLUS, you should have gotten used to it, didn't you?" Ignore us who are always around. ”

Indeed, it is about the same as the number of record announcements, and the workload is much larger.

"Catherine." He and Taraghi went to a casting venue rented from Universal, which was actually a larger rehearsal room, with wooden floors for dance, a long table with only a folding chair in front of it, and a tripod and machine for photography next to it. The heroine's third round of auditions was just over, and he met Catherine, president of Amperin Entertainment, again, "What was the result?" ”

"See for yourself." Catherine handed Song Ya the resume that had been reduced to less than ten, "Do you want to see the casting video?" Let's watch and talk. ”

"Okay."

Amy is put in the first place, "Hi guys, my name is Amy Adams......" The video starts from the beginning, with Amy appearing through the doorway with her trademark smile and a slight flattery.

"What a sweet smile." Catherine looked at her face on the screen and said: "Maybe she is indeed suitable for Hollywood, in other movies, she will have a good chance to play the kind of American lower-class sweet girl in her true colors." ”

was hinting again, but Song Ya did not respond.

"Come in, you got the audition moves, right?" The casting director asked.

"Yes, Ms. Fletcher gave me that, she also gave me some guidance, thank you very much, hi." She greets Anne Fletcher and pulls the relationship.

"So let's get started, don't waste time." Anne Fletcher said.

"Okay."

She immediately hurriedly took off her coat, inside was a ballet, her thin and attractive figure was played, and she took a pose, her head nervously nodding to the beat, and then she began to dance in the opening paragraph, and a fawn-like toe stood on tiptoe, and immediately raised her legs......

A set of looks, the movements are in place, but the expressiveness is really a little worse, better than what they said before like aerobics, the sense of strength is very lacking, of course, the reverse can also be said to dance lightly enough, but unfortunately it does not match the hostess, after all, the heroine is a modern dancer who uses more ballet elements.

Catherine glanced at Song Ya, "It's progressive, isn't it?" "Song Ya pretended to be stupid.

None of the people present spoke.

"Okay, here's a dialogue from the show." In the video, someone handed her a piece of paper.

"No one can get this line beforehand." The casting director said to Song Ya.

Song Ya nodded and continued to read.

"Mom, I don't have a dance partner anymore, my show is over! Are you satisfied? ”

This is the heroine in the play after losing her dance partner, venting her emotions to her mother who insists on her going to college, which is the most challenging scene in the play for the heroine's acting skills. After reading it, Amy first read the words for a while, and then began to brew emotions under the urging of others, and read the words.

It's not good to grasp, the heroine shouldn't be so arrogant in front of her mother, Amy is obviously overkill, she always holds her head slightly high, trying to make a proud but implicit anger effect, but under the sweet and lovely face, even if the eyes are staring at the boss, it is still not convincing.

"It's like a little girl's coquettishness." Said the casting director.

Song Ya had nothing to say, "Look at other people's." ”

"Hey, my name is Jennifer Lopez." A beautiful woman with a Latin face appeared in front of the camera, and she danced very well in the first dance, and the sense of power of modern dance was very well reflected.

"This is the best proportional body and the best dance." Said the casting director.

"It's Jenny Jackson's backup dancer, and she introduced her personally." Yeremov reminded.

"Looks a bit like my Latin American maid at home." Song Ya said disgustedly.

Everyone stopped talking, but fortunately, this girl's acting skills were not as good as Amy's, and she was shown to be like that kind of soap opera from a South American giant.

"Hey, Catherine, hey......" The next actress seemed to be older, but she was very beautiful and danced very well.

"Juliana Margareth, which we found out at the story crew audition in the emergency room, has been dancing for many years." Catherine said.

"She's the one with the best acting skills." The casting director added that sure enough, the emotions of the performance part were handled very accurately by her, and there was a feeling of helplessness and accusation......

"Looks a bit like my lawyer." Indeed a bit like Peter Flock's wife, Alicia, Songya asks, "How old is she?" ”

"Born in '66." The casting director replied.

Song Ya pursed her lips, still showing her attitude clearly.
