Chapter 772: Excellent acting
Reputation, or the glory of the past, is a very practical old-fashioned trick for many people, this is like two skilled women standing in front of you for you to choose, in terms of appearance and figure are almost the same, when you don't know who to choose the best, suddenly someone tells you that the skilled woman on the left used to be the number one public relations here, and you may not be able to compete with her if you have money. At this point, you must know what to choose, and the same is true for customers in a broader sense, even more than the concept of trade.
The way people evaluate good things is crude and simple, as long as they get first, they must be better than those who don't.
If you can win the first place in the sales list, it is an affirmation of yourself, the boutique production company of San Fernando, and it will inevitably become a banner when people choose.
Jeff immediately got into his office chair and pulled out a contract from a drawer, an actor contract. Once you have signed this contract, you must shoot at least ten films for San Fernando Boutique Productions in accordance with the legal documents contained in the contract, each of which will be paid 1/1000th of the price of a single tape sold, or you can choose a basic salary and then increase the salary as a percentage for each additional film.
Most actors will choose to share their salaries, but there are also unlucky, for example, the worst-selling one in the first half of the year only sold more than 7,000 sets, and the combined income of the three actors is less than 100 yuan. This kind of thing is really uncertain, there are also popular models that have sold 800,000 copies, and the income of an actor alone exceeds 2,000 yuan.
"Go, pour us two cups of coffee, the best kind. Jeff instructed Jim to go out to do the service, and Jim did not complain, which meant that once the contract was signed, he would be able to get a fee of no less than thirty dollars. Even if it doesn't work out, there is a labor fee of ten dollars.
After Jim went out, Jeff sat Kinsale down and put the contract on the table. He didn't get Kinsale to sign a contract in the first place, which he did before, but after scaring away a couple of young actors, he gradually understood how to talk to the young guys about what was next.
"Do you like acting, do you have any acting experience?", this is a question that Jeff is very concerned about, because he thinks about the transformation side, and naturally has higher requirements for the acting skills of the actors. He wouldn't have thought about asking these questions before, and Jeff had some ideas, and he thought it might be more appropriate for Kinsel to go straight to normalizing filmmaking.
He often encourages actresses who have signed contracts to have the opportunity to appear in normalized films in the future, and he does intend to do so. At the same time, he is also very aware of one thing, that is, it is not easy for an actress who takes off her clothes one by one in front of the audience to successfully gain a foothold in the field of the big screen. People will always look at these actors with the eyes of the past, especially the actresses, for example, the heroine in the movie he recently invested in is the actor who is signed by his company.
That girl had also filmed these unspeakable tape content before, but this time the finished movie has not yet come out, and there has been a one-sided situation in public opinion. People even turned out the action movies that girls starred in before when two or three people finished acting, although to a certain extent, it also heated up the topic of the upcoming movie, but it also means that the mainstream group does not accept girls.
It's very simple to take off clothes, but it's not so simple to wear them, and even these things will suppress an actor for a lifetime, if you can't get through it, you can only get through it, and when the people who have seen her forget to wear clothes are old and forget about it, she may be able to succeed. But when that time comes, isn't she also old? She wasted the best of her years, she lost those opportunities, and she could only go back in her dreams countless times, saying, I don't shoot!
Just as Jeff hesitated, Kinsel's voice disturbed him and dragged him back from his divergent thinking, "That Jim just said that you are recruiting actors here, right? I haven't studied acting, but I believe that this thing is not difficult, it is to play another person in front of the camera, maybe I can do it!", Kinsale never felt that there was anything difficult about being an actor, didn't you see that those people on TV performed very easily? If it was her, she thought she could do it.
Jeff wanted to laugh but couldn't, he pursed his lips and put the contract on the table with a somewhat struggling expression, "This is a contract, and it's the top contract." As long as you sign this contract, you will be a contracted actor of our company from today onwards, and both of us are protected by the content of this contract. I need to state two points, the first point is that there is a mark on your salary, one thousandth of the sales of each film plus 500 yuan plus a salary increase of 5 points. The second point is that you have the right to choose the script you want to shoot, but you can't drag it down indefinitely, at least one film every three months, a total of ten films. ”
"Wait until you sign your name ......", Jeff didn't finish when he saw the girl named Kinsale sign her name on the contract, he swallowed and continued, "Okay, I didn't say the previous sentence, then I need you to go to a forty-five day acting training course, where I will teach you the most basic acting skills, and after forty-five days, we will discuss making a film." ”
Jeff took the contract and looked at it, and he was surprised to find Kinsale's signature...... It's good-looking, with a bit of star style. In fact, he didn't know, even Doolin didn't know, since Doolin sent the TV to Alfalfa Town, Kinsale had the idea of becoming a star, not only watching those, pee, and fart TV series every day, but also finding the teacher in the town who was often beaten, and asked him to design a signature for himself, and practiced it many times a day.
In Kinsel's words, she will definitely become a big star, and a big star will definitely not work without a qualified autograph.
"Do you have to study?", Kinsale was a little unhappy, she felt that she already had quite good acting skills, and even her younger siblings often praised her performance for being very expressive, "I don't want to waste too much time on unnecessary things." ”
Jeff was also very embarrassed, but he insisted, "It's a must, or you give me a performance, and if your performance satisfies me, maybe I can skip cram school." He's been talking to people about a new investment lately, and now the big studios in District 8 are recognizing how quickly tape can make money, especially Jeff. In the first half of this year, San Fernando made a profit of more than 4 million, and the abundant cash flow is quite tempting for any company.
They plan to work with Jeff to shoot a larger-scale movie, which is the kind of **, plus a famous actor and an exciting script, maybe they can make a lot of money on the big screen. If Kinsel's acting skills are enough, it may be a good choice for her to act in that large-scale movie, at least it won't be so difficult to transform and wear clothes in the future. As for the failure...... , small cost production welcomes you.
"What am I going to do?", Kinsale took a few steps back and forth, and then smashed his fist, "I'm going to play a cowboy, right?!"
Jeff pressed his palm on the door of his head and lowered his head, the most direct way for an ordinary actress to show her acting skills is to play the noble lady, it is very difficult to reflect the dignified and noble temperament of the noble lady, because they do not live in that environment, they can only observe and imitate, so this is the most correct choice. Perform a cowboy ...... What is this?
Watching Kinsale's legs spread out, holding the reins with one hand, and the other song as if he was fiddling with the lasso, he looked very seriously at a pot of green plants in the corner, and specially reminded him, "That's a wild calf, watch me catch it." Then he waved his arms and made a lasso throwing motion, as if he was really trying to do something.
Jeff almost laughed out loud as he covered his mouth, he wanted to stop it, but it was a good thing to think about it, so he quietly waited for Kinsale to finish the damn cowboy. At this time, Jim walked in with two cups of coffee, and he was a little confused as he watched Kinsale interact with the potted plant through the air, and Jeff who was smiling, and didn't know if he should walk in.
Jeff pinched his thigh, and the pain was so great that he got rid of the desire to laugh out loud, he coughed lightly, pointed to the table, and Jim immediately put the coffee on the table, "You go and get thirty dollars." Jeff signed the withdrawal voucher and handed it to Jim, who nodded and retreated, and glanced at Kinsale a few more times when the door was closed.
"Alright, Kinsale, alright, alright!", Jeff interrupted Kinsale's performance, and could tell that it might be better for her to continue performing.
Kinsale breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Jeff with a smile, "How am I doing? Isn't it very expressive? Our cowboys over there are all cowboys like this, I learned from them!"
This sentence made Jeff a little curious, "You really have a cow?"
"It's an easy but fun job, you have to figure out where the noose you throw will fall and whether the cows will turn." ”
Jeff, who fell silent, felt that Kinsale had died talking about the day, and after a while he continued, "I think you performed very well, but you still need to add some details." In this way, according to what we said before, go to an acting cram school, forty-five days, and the company will pay for you. By the way, do you have a place to stay in Ilian?"
"Yes!"
"Where?"
