Director who specializes in American comics

Welcome!After discussion, the outline of the script has been made clear and has been approved by everyone. The next discussion is about the environment, where the story takes place.

The location is in the countryside, that is, it is sparsely populated. Since it is an ancestral home, it must have a history. It must be at least a hundred years old.

There are not many villas like this, but you can still find them if you are determined to look for them. There are many villas and villages scattered across the countryside of Los Angeles, so there should be something suitable.

Cheng Kang said: "I asked a friend to look for it first. This is what I do. It's just a bit far away. I haven't found it in the suburbs of Los Angeles. I'll give it a try first."

The issue of shooting location is not something that can be solved overnight, it takes time.

After the location was determined, Wang Xuanyuan looked at his watch. It was already twelve o'clock. He suggested that everyone just have lunch here. It was just a good time to discuss other issues at noon. After that, what should everyone do in the afternoon? Why go.

After seeing everyone agree, Jessica stood up and said: "What do you want to eat? We have all kinds of desserts, sandwiches, donuts, and hamburgers. Today is my invitation. It's our first time to get together." , I, the host, will treat you all to a meal, what do you all want to eat?"

Scarlett stood up and said: "Sister Jessica, how can this be allowed? We will be friends from now on, don't be so polite."

Steven also said, "Yeah, Jessica, let's just eat whatever we want, and we'll pay the bill ourselves."

Here in the United States, when friends come together to have a meal, sing a karaoke, etc., everyone generally follows the AA system, that is, everyone pays their own bills.

The young people there are very independent. They have been learning to do part-time jobs since junior high school to earn their own pocket money. Generally, when they reach the age of 18, or even 16 or 17 years old, children usually leave their parents and family to become independent on their own. They live there, so they are quite independent.

After some hesitation, they reached an agreement that Jessica would provide some basic hamburgers and desserts, plus enough Coke or Sprite, and everyone would have a small gathering in the coffee shop, and no one would have to pay the bill.

Because the coffee house is opened by Jessica's relatives, who are not here now, so Jessica is actually managing it and can treat everyone to a meal with the food in the coffee house.

Jessica got up and went to the kitchen to prepare lunch. After discussing with the others for a while, they felt that they were tired after sitting for more than two hours. Everyone stood up to move around and took a few steps beside the seats.

It is now noon, and more and more people are coming to eat in the coffee house, occupying half of the hall. In order not to affect other customers' consumption here, Wang Xuanyuan and others sat down again.

After a while, two waiters came over one after another with trays and brought out the food that Jessica had just prepared. Scarlett and Cheng Kang were originally going to help in the kitchen, but Jessica said... You refused on the grounds that you were all guests.

The food prepared by Jessica is very simple, which is what Americans eat most. Simple food can better reflect the care between friends.

Jessica had already sat down again, and the coffee house did not need her help now. Everyone started eating and drinking happily.

Wang Xuanyuan said: "We have five people here. Now let's discuss the issue of actors. In addition to other supporting actors, the main actors in the story are the old couple of the house owners, a young man and woman, and the heroine's friends. Asking for help and consultation When there are five characters appearing, let’s talk about who is interested in appearing.”

The others thought for a while, and Cheng Kang first said: "I will play the young man, that is, the male wizard who has been changed into a body, from an old male house owner to a young man."

Wang Xuanyuan said: "This character must be hidden deep enough. He must break the heroine's suspicion and let her work here with peace of mind. His character must be cunning and evil, and he will do whatever it takes to get things done. Can you play it?" ?"

Steven next to him said: "I want to act too, let me act."

Cheng Kang patted his head and said, "You brat, why are you acting? Eat well. Have you ever been out of school?"

Steven said aggrievedly: "After all, I am a professional actor."

Cheng Kang pretended to pat his head again, and then pushed Steven down.

The male and female owners of the house are both very old. It is impossible for anyone to play the role of these people. No matter how good the makeup is, the age difference is too big, it is still not advisable. The only way is to find a suitable professional outside. There are three ways to find actors.

One is to go to a big agency, such as Creative Artists Agency, or CAA, which covers first- and second-tier actors in most parts of North America. . There are many artists here, but the fees are higher. Basically, only some blockbusters will go there to look for them.

The second method is to find a company that specializes in selecting actors and ask them to recommend them, that is, a casting company. Generally, movies will choose this method to select actors. In Los Angeles, and more specifically, in Hollywood, just There are many such companies, some big and some small, and their charges are definitely different.

The third method is to find it yourself. You only need to prepare a case within the Screen Actors Guild, and then paste an advertisement on the exhibition wall within the union or in other public places, indicating the address and time of the interview. Representatives of the Screen Actors Guild will be present during the interview. Supervision.

Actors have the Actors Guild, directors have the Directors Guild, and photographers have the Photographers Guild. After decades of development, the American film industry has formed a complete set of trade union systems to protect the rights and interests of every practitioner in the industry.

Of course, the premise is that you must be officially registered with the corresponding union and pay your membership dues on time.

Membership dues are generally annual, and fees vary among unions, ranging from a few hundred dollars to several thousand dollars.

Among these three methods, the first one is obviously inappropriate. Not to mention the cost is too high, and most of them are big names. For them now, it is nothing more than wishful thinking, and it is simply something they cannot afford.

The second method seems acceptable, but if you think about it carefully, the advantage of these casting companies is that they have reserve resources, which makes it easier to find actors. In fact, everyone knows the process, and it is just a matter of efficiency. So, When the funds are small and can be saved, why should the casting company make some money from it?

In the end, everyone unanimously agreed on the third method, which is to register with the Actors Guild, recruit people by yourself, and do it yourself. This will also allow the team members to get to know each other better. See more! Prestige official account: hhxs665
