Be a Movie Star in a Two-dimensional World

There is no casual love, and there will be no love at first sight. The plot of the princess falling in love with the beggar will not happen in reality.This is probably the context of this book and the protagonist. The only thing fortunate is that good people do not mean spare tires and green hats. There will be no N-TR in this book, not to mention that there is a bad guy in Su Bad’s name. Character.

For Arturia, he is probably a person who never pays for membership, listens to songs and finds free songs, not to mention concerts, and suddenly sees his favorite singer appearing in front of you to ask for your help. Feel.Not only did you directly PASS your original promise to play LOL or dota with a few friends, but happily took them to the place, you also spent money to buy the other party's genuine new song CD at the video store afterwards. It is worthy of this signature that I just started, and it is more face-saving to display it at home or show it off to others.

In this mentality, except for who he wants to show off to in the end, everything else is very similar to Su Bad. Just the things he bought from the supermarket cost him 300 oceans, not only all the income from yesterday's work was compensated When I went out, I got an extra [-].

But in general, Su Hao is still happy to see idols in reality.

I just don't know if these unopened items can be returned to the supermarket.

Just when he was struggling with this question, the phone rang, and it was a ringing tone.

It's not someone's phone, it's just an alarm, even if it's a mobile phone of the last century, but this most basic function still exists.Su Bad didn't set the alarm for anything else, just because he had an audition in the afternoon. He was a small supporting role, and he didn't have many roles, but he focused on having lines and being able to show his face on the screen.

Actors in this world usually have two paths to fame.

One is called Cobain.

As the name suggests, most of these actors have been trained and graduated from some specialized performing arts colleges, and they are still quite famous.Read the book, have the resources, and have the foundation.Usually, those promising students show their heads and feet when they are studying, and arrange for an internship in a certain crew, or take part in a certain role in a certain drama. Once they seize the opportunity, it is not uncommon to have a leading role. Popularity is not an illusion, and those who are late bloomers, as long as they focus on accumulation, can also wait for the opportunity to accumulate wealth in the future through various relationships.

It can be said that this is a straight road to success. Even those who fail in the end can transition to the background at the right time, at least not worry about work.

There is also a kind called grass roots.

The grass roots, naturally, come from the folk, like Su Hua.Their acting careers have been rooted in a quagmire of weeds, and it is extremely difficult to differentiate themselves and to be appreciated.Their starting point is low, and they do not have strong knowledge and skills. They can only rely on their own feelings to explore their own way of acting.

This type of actor depends entirely on one word, and one luck. If the director likes you, then you will have the opportunity to show yourself. If you don't like it, then you continue to mix.

And even if it is successful, it will often be labeled as a typed actor.

Most of the actors in the world can be classified into the above two categories. If not, there is a special category called the Chosen One.

It refers to the kind of people who look good when you walk on the street, and the scouts beg you to make your debut. Although it is also from the folk, as long as someone is willing to spend money to support it, the speed of fame is like a rocket. The grassroots can only look back, or they are the second generation of stars and the second generation of wealth. They have never lacked attention and topics since childhood. There is only one opportunity to become famous, and this opportunity can be smashed by the connections and money of parents.

Su Bad didn't have these, and he didn't have the golden fingers that fell from the sky, so he was properly a grassroots.

And the life of a grassroots actor is inseparable from those three things every day, audition, part-time job and group performance.

Let’s not talk about the audition. If you want to succeed, you can’t just be a trickster. Don’t think about the starring role, but you can go for some small roles with lines and get familiar with the audience.As for working in your spare time, it's because dreams are something that requires funds to clear the way - you can't starve yourself to death before your dream time.

Another item is group performances. Group performances can quickly familiarize you with the environment and earn a financial subsidy, even more than the salary of a part-time job, but it should be noted that it does not help the performing arts career.It can only be done for a short period of time, never for a long time. The longer it takes, the harder it is to turn over.

These three things are like gears that are constantly twitched by the chain belt, going round and round, running every minute and every second.

It has no time to stop.

Barring two results, either it was removed from the cumbersome machine, plated with gold and silver, and placed in a more exquisite instrument for people to watch, or it broke itself and died.

Although the chances are slim, it is worth a try for Su Bad.

It's May now, and the weather is like the two faces of the goddess treating her favorite object and licking her dog, switching back and forth, changing as she says.Although the fashionable youths outside had already gone out in short-sleeved and hip-length skirts that showed vitality, but to be conservative in order to prevent the cold air at night, Su Hua still put on a thin coat before going out.

His destination was Qiunan Cinema, a landmark building.

In the past, in order to shoot movies, people spent a lot of money to establish various photography bases in various places, such as Hollywood in the United States, Bollywood in India, Hong Kong and Hengdian Studios in China. The scenery, coupled with the huge sums of money invested in the filming of the film, has built countless magnificent landscapes for this purpose, as well as professional film and television shooting and film and television post-production professionals and equipment.

But today, this concept has been completely overturned by emerging technologies.

The first is the concept of the set. The more complex the film and television creation, the more demanding the landscape it needs.

In the past, whenever a formal production crew usually set up the positions of set designer, location surveyor, and scene builder, their responsibility was to find the shooting scene required by the director.

But we all know that movies are beyond reality.

A lot of times, there will be some cases when only relying on real things can not meet the director's shooting requirements, such as when Cameron is shooting the Titanic, you can't really let an Olympic-class cruise ship sink to the bottom of the sea, So at that time, they built a huge model, and cooperated with the pool in the studio, the crane, and the animation special effects to create a fake drama.

And 12 years later, the same Cameron presented an even more magical picture in front of the audience through a 3D screen. on the planet.Such special effects bring infinite possibilities to movies, but the cost of shooting is also rising.

Both films were undoubtedly big box office hits and huge successes, but not everyone is as talented as Cameron in this world of winner-takes-all and loser-none movies.

People began to reflect on whether there is a technology that can make the effect more realistic and reduce the cost.

As you have seen, obviously, they did.

A profession called a landscape architect has gradually replaced the past set designers, scene surveyors, scene builders and other staff. If you have watched "Inception", you will have a deep impression of the dream architects in it. , they can turn their hands into clouds and turn their hands into rain, creating an incomparably real world just like God, and the work of the architects is to build in the virtual world with the support of alpha particle special effects and supercomputer technology. Out of the fake landscape.

How does this profession achieve this? There is no need to spend pen and ink to introduce, just need to know that after the emergence of this technology, from the past shooting methods, the selection of equipment, and even the performance of actors, there are Earth-shaking change.

Shooting no longer needs to take a helicopter to point the camera at those majestic valleys for the end of a bird's-eye view, and no longer needs a special plane to fly over to shoot a landmark building, you just need to stand in a wide open area. In the office building, you will find yourself standing in any place including the pyramids, the Great Wall, and the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean with a click of a mouse by the architect.

Of course, this is not an easy task. In fact, building a complex environment requires not only the professionalism of landscape architects, but also high requirements for hardware facilities. The effect cannot be compared at all, so it is not certain whether it can reduce the cost, but in terms of quality, this is by no means comparable to the old-fashioned shooting methods in the past.

Therefore, although Qiu Nan Cinema is called a cinema, it is not a place with various retro buildings, pavilions, pavilions, lakes, streets and other templates, but a place with all kinds of the latest technology and shooting equipment. The most important thing is that under the ground, there is a supercomputer with the most powerful computing in the world.

Film companies all over the world have set up their offices here. Of course, Taiji will be eliminated from this long list.

For all filmmakers, no matter what their status, this is where their dreams start.

The same is true for Su Hao.

Chapter 6 Auditions

Brain's Base's new project "Natsume's Book of Friends" has been selected for the director, screenwriter, and some leading roles since it was launched in March. Next, it plans to openly solicit some less important roles. Su bad this time The character who came to apply is Kitamoto, a classmate of the protagonist Natsume.

Compared with other Natori, Tanuma and Multitrack, this is a soy-sauce character, and it has nothing to do with the main storyline, but because it always appears next to the protagonist, there are still quite a lot of scenes, so Su Bad intends to try it. Try your luck.

The recruitment site for the crew of "Natsume's Book of Friends" is at C-2149, West District, Studio City. C is the orientation of the studio, the one on the east, west, north, west and west, the leading 2 refers to the second floor, and the last 2 numbers refer to the location of the room.

Qiu Nan Cinema is a comprehensive film and television building. It is divided into 4 areas according to different functions. The C area where Su Bad is now is the one with the strongest commercial atmosphere.Here, the most you can see are those managers dressed as black super agents in neat suits. There are a large number of film and television meetings every day, contracts are finalized here, and Su Bad is just one of the dreamers.

He has not yet grasped the dream in his hands.

But it certainly will, he firmly believes.

Saying good luck to himself, Su Bad didn't go to grab the long queue of the entrance elevator, but went up the stairs of the safe passage to the second floor.

Generally speaking, the 2nd and 3rd floors of Zone C are public rental areas for those licensed film companies, big and small, to conduct some small-scale activities, such as actor interviews, discuss cooperation (non-conferences), and even have a drink coffee or something.But from the above point of view, there will not be too many rooms and too empty venues.A long table is set up in the room, and several interviewers are lined up in sequence. Then the interviewers who come to interview will crowd in the hall and sit on benches or on the ground, waiting for the staff to call.

Among the interviewees, Su Bai came early. The audition started at 1:12, but he arrived at [-]:[-]. However, he was not the first to come, and the earlier ones may have been there since the morning. Here, they're sitting on a bench eating lunch (burgers or cookies) and flipping through the script.

Su Bad tried to call them, but there were very few people who responded. Even if someone responded in this state, it was not a warm greeting.Su Bad knew the reason. They didn't come here to make friends. They might even be enemies competing for the same role, so he just smiled back and quickly entered his own state.

As I said before, the current mode of filming and filming is completely different from the past, and the requirements for actors have also changed accordingly.

The previous performances are divided into experience school, method school and expression school, and there is no need to subdivide them here, but the basis of their theories is that the actors are required to create a corresponding image and performance form through reasonable understanding and imagination.

The director may say to you, "Imagine that you are standing on a beach connected to a blue sea, surrounded by dazzling bikini girls," when in fact you are wearing a pair of silly swimming shorts, standing In December, the heating was turned on indoors, and the filming of the film was completed in front of a green screen with nothing.

And now, just move a finger from the architect, and in the next second, you can reach Hawaii, or the South Pole, outer space, and even the sound, temperature, sunlight, rain and snow can be simulated.

Therefore, today's actors put more emphasis on their own image and expressiveness.It sounds similar to the past, but there are still differences. The holography of video sets is rapidly lowering the threshold for actors. Those who were not enlightened in the past can also act well after being stimulated by real scenes. Invisibly, the selection of actors' appearance has been raised.

Of course, it doesn't mean that acting is useless. On the contrary, in this era, people with superb acting skills combined with alpha particle technology can directly affect the effect of shooting and affect the audience's viewing emotions.Known as the Release treasure phenomenon (referred to as RT phenomenon), different actors have different levels of outbreaks according to their own acting skills, and even some media have named it specially, such as the RT phenomenon produced by the famous movie star Arturia, just like Named the Sword of Victory Pledge.

Of course, the current Su Hao has not reached that level, but he is quite confident in the appearance of the characters he competes for.

Opening the script, the character's name reads the requirement for this recruitment to be tall, well-proportioned, sunny, and with a friendly smile.

So he kept smiling.

Although there is no mirror nearby, it seems to be not bad from the expressions of others.

Nobody hates smiling, he thought.

However, it should be noted that this script is not a formal script used in the performance. If you hire those big-name stars, you will definitely send an exclusive script suitable for their role when you contact their agent, and even some are complete scripts. .But it doesn't matter if you deal with such small roles as Su Bad and the others. The so-called recruitment script is actually a print of several characters that need to be recruited, with a brief introduction of the characters and no more than three lines for the actors' reference.

So don't mention the above three lines, even the lines of other characters, even female characters, Su Bad has memorized them by heart. Don't ask why, just like you studied bioengineering in college, but after graduation, you choose The job of the company is the same as that of an unrelated company. The role of the applicant is different from the role of the harvest. It is also a common thing in this circle. The important thing is to gain something.

Gotta get a role today.

Looking at the resumes of only a bunch of small characters, he said to himself.

Regarding the time of the interview, it was stated on the leaflet that it was 01:30, but the staff in charge of the interview actually arrived late at [-]:[-], and the official selection was over two o'clock .

There were some complaints, but no one gave up and left.

When the assistant started calling out, there was already a long line in the queue, both men and women, young and old. Su Bad was okay, because he came early, and he was in the top 7th position.

Some people came in and some went out, some were happy and some were worried, and soon it was Su Huai's turn.

After hearing someone call his name, he straightened his clothes, then pushed the door and walked in towards room 149.

There was a sandalwood-colored desk in the center of the room. Two men and one woman were sitting there. Needless to say, Su Hao knew that this was the judge of this interview.The assistant handed his resume to the table. Among the three interviewers, only the casting director Du Ping, who was sitting in the middle, glanced at it. After seeing the work experience column, he immediately closed it without interest. He didn't even mean to hand it to his colleagues on the side, and said blankly, "Tell me briefly about yourself, which role you want to apply for, and why."

Su Bad knew that the review had already begun.

He straightened his back consciously, kept a warm smile on his face, and reminded himself that first impressions were important: "Hello fellow judges, my name is Su Bad, bad guy from Jiangsu, 21 years old, and I want to apply for a job. The role of Kitamoto. As for the reason, I feel that I am competent for this role in all aspects.”

The presiding judge's Du Ping twitched the corners of his mouth, not knowing whether it was good or bad.

The other man sitting next to him, the second producer of the show, Morita, who is also the interviewer, turned the pen in his hand and said, "Tell me about the lines."

There are only three lines in the script.

【Hey, Natsume!What are you doing, that guy. 】

[I didn’t expect that the high-ranking squad leader would advocate a courage test meeting. 】

【Come and talk to me if you have any troubles. 】

There is no context written, and there is no hint of the character's emotional state. Everything is performed by one's own imagination.

But Su Bad had already pondered over these words many times, and he came when he opened his mouth.

"Hey, Natsume!" He stared straight at the empty wall of the office, as if there was someone there, but before he could move his heels, the situation changed, maybe the person he called by name had left, and he hung down The hand that didn't have time to stretch out mumbled, "What are you doing, that guy."

Next, he turned around and faced the three examiners again, and his expression changed suddenly, as if he had seen an old acquaintance, with a little joking, but the main body's expression was still a gentle smile: "I didn't expect the high-ranking squad leader. It would even advocate a courage test meeting."

After saying this, Su Suo paused in the middle, but the expression on his face became gentler, the corners of his lips raised slightly, he patted the shoulder of the person who didn't exist in front of him, and said, "Come and talk to me if you have any troubles. Bar."

After the performance, several interviewers in the room looked delicate. Morita, the producer, glanced at Du Ping, who tapped the resume with his fingers, and then returned the resume: "Okay, Mr. Su, thank you You come for an interview, and we'll send you a message within a week if you're hired."

Su Bad knew that this was definitely a refusal, because the other party didn't even ask him to leave his contact information, although if he wanted to check it, he could also check it through the previous registration records, but these people wouldn't be so troublesome.

Su Bad was a little anxious and said: "Well, about the previous lines, there are actually several different ways of expressing them. Please let me try again. There are other characters, such as Tsuji and Shibata..."

"Mr. Su." Du Ping suddenly raised his voice, although he didn't mean to roar, but his voice was particularly severe: "It's alright, it's the same sentence just now, please wait patiently for the news, we will notify you if it passes."

Su Bad blinked and calmed down. He apologized for his impulse just now, then stepped back and left the audition room, closing the door.

"Oh, poor boy." The woman with framed glasses who had been silent for a while finally spoke up. She was also one of the three interviewers, but the choice was mainly with Du Ping and Morita. She was a character model. Teachers are only responsible for making suggestions and references on whether the candidates fit the role and their plasticity.

About Su Bad, she didn't say a word before, but there was a reason for that.

Casting director Du Ping leaned back against the chair, tidied up the front of his clothes and said, "Don't say that, this kid is too tender and doesn't know how to behave. How can characters like Nishimura and Beiben be? It may be taken away by someone who doesn't even have a regular broker."

That's the rules of the game for filmmaking.
