"Mody, you're definitely Delicate-and-Touching!"

"Am I?"

"Or else you can be Sexy-and-Hot?"

The "Actor Marketing Center" photography studio on Purdue Avenue north of Santa Monica, the reception hall is brightly lit, and the simple lounge sofas and other things are neat and tidy, although there are no photos of celebrities and celebrities posted on the wall of the photography works, but the heads of customers and actors are hung there, there are adults, teenagers, and children, all of whom are beautifully photographed.

It's a place that Stella is used to, it's affordable but high-quality, and it's best for newcomers and poor people. The avatar photo usually has to be changed every six months, otherwise the casting director will look at the photo and think it is good, and ask him to go over and see the wrong version, which will not only waste time, but also lose the real opportunity.

Half a year, the money will be more, and a stable long-term cooperative photographer is also necessary, some people are especially good at taking photos, and some people are especially good at taking your photos.

There are many different types of profile photos, from suits or evening gowns for theatrical performances to commercial advertisements with a bright smile and a touching joy, and the more likely they are to be noticed by advertising agencies. This is really a talent, some people are born to laugh super enthusiastic and happy, even if they are not really that happy, and some people are obviously happy, but no matter how much they laugh, it makes people feel far-fetched.

Mody is going to shoot the standard Actors-Headshots of film and television actors this time, 8" x 10" (20. 32cmX25。 4cm), close-up, with an emphasis on the face and hair.

Yesterday and Sunday made an appointment, today on the 9th of Monday at 10 o'clock in the morning to open the door to come in, the photo printing will take a few days, but the 15th draft will be closed for registration, time is running out, fortunately you can add money to use an electronic version first, so as not to catch up with any problems.

"Girls, everybody has a type, and it's important to know what type you are. Stella taught the two rookies with a sense of accomplishment, "Nina Dubov, she's an athletic type, her smile is so good, how can she smile so happily? ”

Safi, who came to join in the fun, salivated: "If VIY were my boyfriend, I would be so happy to laugh." ”

"No, it's talent. Stella disagreed, "Let's just say VIY's rumored girlfriend, Lily Collins is amazing, right? She is an elegant and mature type, no matter what, it has nothing to do with being sexy and hot." What about Emma Roberts? She's not going to be sexy, she's sweet and sunny. Kristen Stewart?

In my competitive experience, when it comes to making commercials, they can't compare to Nina Dubov combined, the girl laughs, and as soon as you see her selling, you want to buy it. ”

Stella's long-time female photographer Juliet nodded and said with a smile: "Many rookie actresses think that the sexier and cuter they are, the better their avatar photos will be, this is a wrong idea, and being yourself is the best." You should be as you are, and these classifications are not only divided into appearance, but also personality, so that you can develop better. ”

"Do you know why some people are amazing when they act in a movie for the first time?" Stella tapped on the classification chart in her hand, "It's all because of this! If you're obviously an athletic type, but you want to play an elegant and mature type, it won't work. ”

Juliet nodded: "Generally speaking, an actor's earliest work is the most authentic self. Modi, your appearance can indeed be divided into the pitiful type. ”

"Character too. Stella said.

"Thank you. Mody looked at the classification chart in her hand, a little shy.

Safi hurriedly asked, "What about me?"

"You. Juliet looked at her, "Your appearance is more ......"

Stella spoke for her, "Safi, you don't have a particularly obvious type. This is the worst, passerby face, the actor is not the most beautiful, but he must be remembered for his appearance. Safi's face suddenly fell: "It's not fair......"

"There are so many unfair things. Stella squeezed her plump boobs, "I'm a hot and sexy type, but this type is actually the hardest to find a good job, it's all B-movie opportunities." ”

"Then I choose Chu Chu to be pitiful?" Mody wanted to relieve Safi.

"One hundred percent. Stella asked Juliet, "Julie, what's the latest format?"

Juliet replied: "The atmosphere has not changed, it is still a bleeding version, with a matte surface." ”

The bleed version is one that doesn't have any borders, and the portrait fills the entire photo. In addition, there are those with a white border around them, only those with a border at the bottom. Puzzle photos have also been popular before, but now the trend is bleed versions.

In addition, there are three main ways to retouch: glossy surface, matte surface, semi-glossy surface,

The first will make the photo look sparkling, the second is a flat effect, and the third is somewhere in between.

"Let's shoot what's trendy. Stella said. Juliet said yes and asked, "Mody, do you want to leave a place in the lower right corner for you to add your name and phone number?" ”

After a while, everyone negotiated and decided what kind of photo effect they wanted to take. Almost all of Stella was saying that Mody didn't understand and was wooden, but she didn't have to worry about being deceived anymore, 500 of the $780 spent on the photo shoot was lent to her by Stella, otherwise she really couldn't afford to shoot so expensive.

Stella said that if she wanted to deceive her, she could be cheated, as long as she took her to her illegal photo studio and colluded to set the price of the photo shoot at a ridiculously high price, then she would owe a sum of money that she shouldn't owe.

Of the $780, 300 pieces are the body, including indoor and outdoor totals 1. With 5 hours of shooting time, all the photos you take are yours, and then you can choose to use and print. 440 yuan is a surcharge, 80 blocks print eight 8X12 or 8X10, four color and black and white, 10 pieces each, 50 yuan plus a full-body photo, 50 yuan plus two digital versions, 25 yuan each, the remaining 300 yuan is to do hair, makeup and choose clothes, 3 styles, 100 each, she chose Chu Chu pitiful, traditional conservative and sweet sunshine.

After everything was negotiated and the money was paid, Mody began to do the styling, and the studio had professional stylists Fidel, Stella and Juliet also gave directions.

With light makeup, long shawl hair combed sideways, and a long-sleeved jacket of loose knitted white sweater that accentuates his type, he is woven with a classic and simple rice ear pattern.

Once you've done your look, it's time to take interior photos. Mody stands in front of the backdrop, several cameras shine on her, Juliet and her assistant Ether operate the cameras, and Stella and Safi watch, all of which makes Mody embarrassed.

She rarely took pictures since she was a child, and even less after her mother left home, and the most she took was the school's annual roster photo, and now in the face of this kind of scene, it is impossible not to be shy.

Click, click-

"Good. Juliet couldn't help but praise, pressing the camera on the tripod, shame is not all of Modi, the light melancholy between her eyebrows, the blue and pure of her eyes, makes people not only pity, but also a kind of tranquility.

"God......" Stella is really jealous, Mody's appearance is really good, so she doesn't know how to act.

Safi is in a worse mood, and although he is confident in himself, it is too unfair in comparison.

......

After the photos were taken, the proofs could not be obtained until Friday, but fortunately there were two digital versions for emergency use.

Yesterday Mody worked as a part-time waitress at the Sweet Courtyard Restaurant, with her high school dropout education, not yet 17 years old, and she just arrived, she really couldn't find a better job for the time being.

This afternoon and evening was Mody's first time at work. She is used to housework and farm work at home, and the waitress job is not difficult for her, but the most difficult thing is to talk to customers, which makes her introverted not very adaptable. Half a day later, although she was not at the busy dinner time, she received a tip of 73 yuan!

Stella said that because you are young and fresh, there will not be so much in a few days, and then think about Julia Roberts's salary of 25 million, you don't think the 73 yuan is anything.

Career, it's not okay to just wait for the opportunity to come, you have to create opportunities yourself.

Stella's next target for Mody and Safiri is to sign an agent. Although having an agent is not equal to success, it is better to have something than nothing, you will appear more professional, the casting directors will pay more attention, and maybe the agent will really find a job for yourself one day.

If you want to sign a broker, the first step is, of course, to look for it.

Generally speaking of brokerage firms, CAA. It seems that there is only one agency in the entertainment industry, CAA, or the four major companies of WME, ICM, and UTA.

In fact, there are many agencies in the United States, and many big stars are clients of little-known small companies or medium-sized companies, maybe from before they became famous, or maybe they joined after they became famous, like Emma Watson is a client of Special-Artists-Agency (SAA), and Kristen Stewart is a client of The-Gersh-Agency (TGA).

How many brokerage companies are there? Not to mention the ones that are not certified by the 4A Federation, because those are basically all scammers.

All legitimate companies can be found on the official website of the trade unions, regardless of whether you are a member of an organization or not. Even if you are not a member of SAG, you can still contact SAG for inquiries and complaints.

You can also buy a copy of the Ross Report, a monthly magazine that lists the most up-to-date list of all union-approved brokerage firms in the United States.

There are more than 400 SAG and AFTRA accredited brokerages in Los Angeles alone, and all of them are surviving. There are large companies with hundreds of brokers like CAA, medium-sized companies with half a hundred brokers like TGA, small companies with more than ten or twenty people, and micro companies with only one or two brokers. Most are small companies and micro companies.

The big four agencies are like the big six studios, and the others are like independent studios.

It's not easy to survive, but no one in this industry can engage in monopoly and hiding, because this has long since followed the "de-Haviland-decision" in the 40s of the last century, Olivia de Haviland's victory against Warner Bros., the termination of the long-term contract and the restoration of freedom, forever changed the relationship between actors and studios, and gradually died the golden age of Hollywood, and passed to the old Hollywood and then to the new Hollywood.

Nowadays, film contracts are signed one by one, and clients can legally fire their agents at any time.

More than 400 agencies, from the initials A to Z, Almond-Talent-Agency, Bloc-Talent-Agency, Central-Artists, Defining-Artists......

In terms of age, there are all ages, teenagers, children, adults, and the elderly, and in terms of occupation, there are even more.

Zanuck-Agency, Michael operates as follows: A, AUB, Ani, Ath, B, BN, Bd, Cd, Ch, Co, DD, Da, Doc, FE, Ho, If, In, Int, Its, MA, Mo, NBI, NM, OC, Oth, PA, Pup, RC, RP, SL, SP, SR, Srs, TP, TVCo, VO, VSA

What the hell is it that doesn't have AwD and BOT yet? Even industry veterans won't know everything without a comparison chart.

A is for Actors, AUB is for Audiobooks, Ani is for Animation, Ath is for Athletes, and AwD is for Artists-w/Disabilities...... VO is for Voiceover, and VSA is for Variety/SpecialtyActs.

As the saying goes, everyone has an agent.

Anyway, the agent doesn't have to give you money to sign you, and you have to share the money with him when you get a job yourself, why not?

Stella is signed with Cameron Talent, and her relationship with James Cameron is like that of LeBron James and James Cameron. It has only five brokers, small companies are better than small companies, fewer customers, sometimes equal to more opportunities, the key is the ability of the broker itself.

Her agent, Bertha Haider, is average, and she's ready to fire the other party.

This time, I just called to ask, the two newcomers want to sign the agent, are they interested in meeting with them? If Bertha agrees, the two rookies can get familiar with the agent.

"What kind of girl?" asked Bertha on the other end of the line.

"One is pitiful, the other is ...... Sweet and sunny. ”

"I'm sorry, but we already have enough of these two types of customers. ”

"Bertha, Chu Chu is very good, really, very beautiful, very star-like. ”

"Send me all their e-resumes, and good luck with that. Bertha finally said.

In the living room of the old apartment, Safi and Mody watched nervously as Stella walked back from the balcony, her face a little dark in the night.

Safi couldn't help asking, "How's it going?" Stella spread her hands, "She said, 'Good luck to you'." Safi exclaimed in surprise, "Will she see us?" Stella gave her a blank look: "Good luck to you, I don't want to see you when you disappear from me!"

"Oh no......" Safi leaned back on the couch, and Mody sighed.

"You really have to learn these code words, agents never reject actors outright, they know that the actors they reject today may become superstars tomorrow. They will find a lot of reasons, why you don't fit our company's agency image, why I can't keep my clients busy lately, and why you look too similar to one of their clients. ”

Stella said and suddenly laughed, remembering an interesting fact, "But sometimes it may be true, once an agent rejected me by saying that I looked a lot like his other client, and I was so angry that I said it was impossible." And then he showed me a picture of the man's head, and it was me!"

She exclaimed, "Exactly like twins, more like the Olsen sisters." I called my parents and they said they weren't messing around, even though I didn't believe it. ”

"Is it a good thing or a bad thing to look like a star?" Safi asked, "I've always felt like I looked a lot like Anne Hathaway. ”

"Pull you down. Stella cut with disdain and sat down on the side couch, "And it's not good to be like Hathaway, it's only good to be like a dead star." Like James Franco. Safi screamed, "He's so hot!" Stella continued, "I think he's gay, and he must have a leg with Seth Rogan." ”

Safi retorted loudly: "He's not gay, and he's not dead." ”

Mody couldn't speak, her light blue eyes looked at Stella and at Safi, not quite sure what they were talking about......

"I can't be wrong with being gay, he's gay. I didn't say he was dead. Stella rolls her eyes, and Safi yells "Even if he's gay, Seth Rogan doesn't deserve him", and Stella said to herself: "I mean he looks super much like James Dean, and he is called James, what a coincidence." ”

"James Dean!" Safi thought, "it really seems. ”

Stella remembered another case, "Rona Maitra, you know her, she looks exactly like Kate Beckinsale, I bet Len Wiseman can't tell the difference!" But Maitra is a poor creature, and Beckinsale took her chance and the man first. By the way, sometimes Evangeline Lily is quite like the two of them. ”

At this time, Safi glanced at Mody who was silent, "Who does Mody look like?" Stella looked at Mody, "I don't know, I don't think of whom." ”

......

Being "good luck", it will only be a waste of effort to submit an electronic resume, but it is still necessary to vote, and it must be submitted in large quantities.

All the actors have been rejected by their agents, including Tom Hanks, and there is nothing to be sad about being rejected. Massive investment, there will always be someone interested, a large number of interviews, and there will always be a sign-in agent. As with finding a job, the secret is to have a long list and, of course, find a reputable company that is right for you.

First of all, the first thing is to do a good job of the resume, the electronic version of the avatar photo is available, what about the rest?

Age do not write. Education?

"What to write? Write that you didn't graduate from high school? Hilltop High School in Logan District, Utah? What is that? You think it's Trinity High School? Harvard-Westlake? Don't write!"

Acting experience? No. I didn't even play anything in a theater in my hometown in the countryside. Fortunately, this aspect can be made up, not excessive, don't let people know it's fake at a glance, just a decent level.

Training? No. The performance is all taught by my mother and learned by myself, so it's better not to mention it than to mention it, and I can't remember it if I don't mention it.

Other experiences? I've been to Logan City as far as before, and I haven't had a performance summer camp, so I'm here to eat and wait for death. It's okay to make it up.

"What's your special talent?"

“...... Such as?"

"For example, singing and dancing, what sports are you good at, what other languages do you know, what accents do you know, what fields are you familiar with?"

"I know how to deliver cows. Then I didn't...... I'm familiar with Mormonism, I'm a Mormon, can that count?"

"You're a Mormon!?oh my God...... So you're going to marry the same man with another woman?"

That's a misunderstanding, Mormonism has long since abolished polygamy, and we're not like that. ”

"Okay, but of course you can't write it, give birth to a cow? Can it be related to acting? Every letter on this resume must be related to acting, and it's annoying to write irrelevant information into it, no one cares if you can give birth to a cow or a sheep, and no one cares if you play a cow." ”

"Oh...... Then I didn't ......"

On the 9th, after a busy night, with the help of Stella, Mody's resume still couldn't write anything valuable and impressive, even if she made up some information to put it in, like once playing puppets at the Boulder Playground in Logan City to entertain tourists, and saying that she was good at skiing...... But it's still very blank.

Although Stella didn't mix well, after all, she was an old fritter, and made a list of the first list of brokerage companies for the two, both of which were located in Santa Monica and were most likely to sign them, and sent out two electronic resumes that night.

It turned out that Safi was mediocre in appearance, and her resume information was far better than Mody's, but at noon on Tuesday the 10th of the next day, there was an "assistant from the House-of-Representatives who called Mody and asked her to meet with the company in the afternoon!"

This is also a small company, IMDbPro information, 7 brokers, 363 clients. For a newcomer like Modi, it is no different from CAA!

Suddenly, there was a tense atmosphere in the Sweet Courtyard Restaurant!

"Mody, remember, remember, remember, a good impression is the most important thing!!Perform well, the more professional, the higher the probability of success!God...... There's so much to teach you. Stella spread her hands, "She said, 'Good luck to you'." Safi exclaimed in surprise, "Will she see us?" Stella gave her a blank look: "Good luck to you, I don't want to see you when you disappear from me!"

"Oh no......" Safi leaned back on the couch, and Mody sighed.

"You really have to learn these code words, agents never reject actors outright, they know that the actors they reject today may become superstars tomorrow.
