Chapter 44: The Ghost; Discord
(Ask for support!) Ask for a ticket! )
Li Yaoyang was worried that he couldn't find an actor, so he held his 'customized lunch' and ate listlessly.
The uncles and aunts are very caring, and they will make a separate one for him every time they deliver a meal, and the dishes and meat are much larger.
He also loves to eat, but he doesn't have much appetite today, and it's a bit of a waste to eat it.
Sarah took a few bites and had Pete Hughes called over.
"Pete, I hope you don't take it to heart about the previous things, everyone is for work~" Sarah took the initiative to stand up and be a peacemaker.
Pete sneered, his eyes always drifting to Li Yaoyang inadvertently, mainly to see if he had the action of pulling out a gun.
To this day, there was still a trace of coldness in the center of his eyebrows.
Retracting his gaze, he asked:
"Mrs. Hudson, did you call me anything?"
"That's right, we want to give you a chance to play 'Ghost'." Sarah was blunt.
"Huh? I? Playing as a ghost? Pete was amazed, did his demonstration work?
No, it can't be, Pete is self-denying.
Li Yaoyang kept looking at him, and he didn't know if he was already white, or if he had just been so frightened that he hadn't recovered his blood color.
At this time, his face was very weird, and with the yellow lights in the background, it was really a bit ghostly.
"Make a fierce expression and I'll take a look~" Li Yaoyang suddenly spoke.
"Ah~"
Sarah hurriedly gave him a look: "What are you waiting for?" Hurry up~"
"Oh~" Pete's mind was very empty, and he could only be at the mercy of Li Yaoyang.
It's just that he only has fear in his heart now, not fierce, and he can't do it.
was about to make him cry, Li Yaoyang comforted him:
"Relax your mind, you are an actor, you don't need me to teach you what to do~"
"Okay~Give me a minute~"
Pete is not a reckless man after all, and he knows when to do something, although he doesn't know why Li Yaoyang changed his mind.
Turning around to adjust his emotions, only half a minute later, he turned around and showed his dark side.
Li Yaoyang bowed slightly, and said:
"Now, give me the most perverted and crazy expression you can present~"
Yes? That's a bit of a big ask.
But this is not difficult for him, and it is not difficult to show the darkest side of his psychology.
That's why it's easy to think of playing a bad guy as an acting school, but it's hard to do comedy.
His eyes slowly became crazy and out of control, and with his pale face, under the smoky yellow light, he really looked a bit of a perverted murderer.
Especially when he looked at Mrs. Hudson, his eyes became obsessive and obsessive, which is the most instinctive possessiveness of male animals.
Li Yaoyang estimated that this grandson had no YY Sarah in private.
But that's not the point, at least he's more professional than the actors who came to audition before, and it's not an easy thing to be able to mobilize complex emotions in such a short period of time.
"Okay, go to the makeup artist to apply makeup, see the effect and then make a decision~" Li Yaoyang said to him decisively.
The eyes slowly converged:
"That's okay?"
Sarah smiled with palpitations:
"Let's go to the makeup artist, let's see the effect after applying makeup~"
"Yes ~ thank you madam, thank you lee ~ no, thank you director ~"
"Wait~" Li Yaoyang called out to stop him.
Not only Pete was suspicious, but Sarah also wondered, what else was going on?
"What is your hourly wage now?"
"Amount~25 knives per hour~"
"What about the others?"
"The main actors are basically around 20 knives, and the lowest is to dance without showing their faces, 8 knives per hour~" Pete said truthfully.
In fact, Li Yaoyang knew that he deliberately asked him, and he had his own intentions.
"People are not satisfied with this salary?"
"Actually, it's okay, the treatment of our theater is neither high nor low in the entire theater industry, but there are few performance opportunities, which directly pulls down the total income."
Li Yaoyang nodded:
"There are two choices, one is that your salary remains the same, and the others collectively increase by $2 per hour.
Second, I will give you a price increase of 30 dollars per hour, and the salary of the rest of the people will remain the same.
No matter which one you choose, the only requirement is to work honestly from now on and don't make trouble.
Otherwise, I won't recognize anyone at gunpoint, and all the fish in the Atlantic will be hungry. ”
Pete was dumbfounded, isn't this a clear wedge between him and his colleagues?
That's right, it's a clear disagreement, if he asks, Li Yaoyang will also admit it generously.
With the addition of a new batch of actors, there will inevitably be conflicts between the new and old actors, and Li Yaoyang doesn't like a fire in the house, so he has to take precautions.
Pete Hughes, the rising bird, is the best target, and it is not a burden to use.
"What? Is it hard to choose? I thought you would choose the second option without hesitation~" Li Yaoyang said with a little playfulness.
"No~I'm not that kind of person~" Pete was still trying to quibble.
"I don't care what kind of person you are, but we Chinese have a proverb - people don't die for themselves."
Pete muttered the sentence, and although the English translation did not capture the essence of the sentence, it did not prevent him from understanding.
Gradually, he seemed to have made a decision, gritted his teeth and said:
"I choose 2, I promise that from now on, these people will no longer make trouble~"
"Very good, you are a smart person, you made the right decision, go put on makeup, the role of 'ghost' is not officially yours yet."
After Pete left, Sarah patted her chest:
"His eyes were too scary just now~"
"Hehe~ Believe me, he hasn't been looking at you for a day or two~"
"What?"
"You heard it~"
"It's not~ this, how is it possible?"
"How could it not be? Don't underestimate your charm, and your financial resources~"
Sarah gritted her teeth and complained:
"Sure enough, men are all lower-body animals~"
"Women too~" Li Yaoyang didn't think twice.
"I'm not~"
"You are!"
"I'm really not!"
"You really are!"
The two played a game of 'I'm not, you are' for a while, and the interview continued.
As always, disappointed, when the last actor left, Li Yaoyang exhaled:
"It's up to Pete, if it doesn't work, you'll have to be poached by other theaters~"
Today, most of the freelance actors who are eating in the New York theater industry are here.
If you don't come, you're either not interested in the play, or you have an appointment.
At this time, Pete came out, he was dressed in a tuxedo, with oily hair combed, and a white mask on his face, revealing only a pair of large, hollow eyes.
walked these few steps, calmly and elegantly, but Li Yaoyang frowned:
"It's not this mask, go change the half-face mask of my latest design~"
The makeup artist apologized in the back:
"Saorui, Lee, it's my problem~"
Sarah whispered:
"I think it's pretty good, it's very similar to the description in the script~"
"Let's take a look~" Li Yaoyang was not in a hurry to make a decision.
It didn't take long to change the mask, and soon, Pete, who had changed into a half-face mask, stood in front of the judges' bench with a black cloak added to his tuxedo.
The powdered white face, the deep and hollow eyes, the blood-red lips, the horror is not visible, but it looks a bit like a vampire.
Li Yaoyang reluctantly said to the makeup artist:
"You're not painting a terrible ghost, you're the dream lover of the rotten girls~"
