All-in-one Sign

Most audiences have a misunderstanding about actors in the entertainment industry, that is, they regard older actors as veteran actors.

To be precise, this concept is not correct.

Older actors are not qualified to be called veteran actors. Some people have been actors for a long time. The improvement that time brings to them is not their acting skills and professional standards, but simply getting older.

For example, an actor who is old but has never improved in his acting skills is simply older. You can say that he is a senior, or you can politely call him an elder, or you can say that he is an old actor, but the veteran actor is The title cannot be applied to such a person.

The old actor here literally means an old actor.

When encountering such actors in China, due to the traditional virtues of respecting the elderly and caring for the young, people will remain outwardly polite even if they are dissatisfied.

But in the United States, that is not the case here.

If you can do it, go ahead. If you can't do it, get out of here.

This is Lao Mi's principle of doing things.

They also talk about respecting the elderly and loving the young in words, but in actual actions, Lao Mi is often a model of physical integrity. He talks about not caring about the body but is extremely honest.

No, this happened to Xu Ang when he was filming Transformers 1.

"Xieti, what are you doing? You actually took a simple shot twice and didn't pass it. Don't you want to do it anymore?"

The assistant director of the crew is training people.

The person being trained was an extra, an actor recruited by the crew through the Screen Actors Guild. The scene of his performance only lasts about ten seconds. In terms of difficulty, it really can't be called difficult.

If it weren't for the fact that the role required an older actor to play the role of the protagonist's school teacher, Xu Ang would have wanted to replace the role with a young member of the cast next to him.

Compared with the acting skills of this veteran extra, the young people who are also extras and play the protagonist's classmates are much better than him.

Why did you find such a person?

Xu Ang rubbed his eyebrows.

He originally thought it was a one-time shot, but he didn't expect to have to redo it twice in a row due to the actor's mistakes. This made him have to doubt the quality of Lao Mi's actors.

Isn’t it said that the actors registered by the Hollywood Screen Actors Guild are all good? I remember there used to be a lot of people on the Internet who praised Lao Mi’s actors for their high quality and good acting skills. However, in actual practice, they didn’t feel they were any better than the extras from China. .

The assistant director of the crew was an American. He had been carefully observing Xu Ang's face. Seeing Xu Ang's expression of displeasure, he couldn't help scolding him even more fiercely.

It is said that all crows in the world are like black. As far as the entertainment industry is concerned, there are many similarities between China's entertainment industry and the American entertainment industry.

Take the position of assistant director as an example. Many assistant directors in China's production crew have the title of assistant director in name. This sounds very bluffing, but in fact they are just doing odd jobs.

This is true for China, and the American crew is no exception.

The American assistant director on the first set of Transformers did odd jobs.

After all, Xu Ang wrote the script, investor Xu Ang did it, and Xu Ang came to direct the film, so there was a shortage of handymen. As an assistant director, don't you have to assist director Xu Ang and coordinate other things?

Even though he was just a senior handyman with the title of assistant director, there were so many people that he couldn't even squeeze in.

Who is Xu Ang?

That's the boss of Pixar, the man who can bring Pixar to the point where it threatens the seven major Hollywood film companies, and he's also a business tycoon who's stirring up trouble. As long as he wanted to, he could be treated as a VIP in many financial institutions on Wall Street.

Let me ask, who in Hollywood wouldn't want to be associated with such a person?

If you can get this person's favor, the little benefit he can slip through his fingers will be enough to satisfy you. If you still have some talent, maybe Xu Ang will invest in you and let you make a movie, which will help you reach the top of your life and become famous in Hollywood.

Tom was able to become the assistant director of Transformers 1 only after going through countless battles and owing many favors. He would never allow anyone to screw it up.

"Can you still do it?"

"If you can't act, you can leave immediately. Such a crew and such a big production are full of people."

Tom became anxious and sprayed the other person's face with his saliva.

Even though the person being scolded is older than him, in this important matter concerning Tom's future, he will not tell you to respect the old and cherish the young. If you can do things well, then of course hello, me, and everyone. If you can't do it, get out as soon as possible and don't waste everyone's time. If Xu Ang was displeased and Xu Ang turned his anger on him, Tom would have the heart to kill.

Anyway, our country, the United States, has its own national conditions. When will the firecrackers of freedom not go off?

Being scolded by a man who could be regarded as his son, that man just lowered his head and did not dare to protest.

It's true that he didn't do a good job, and he was the one who took the blame first. Even if he went to the Screen Actors Guild, he couldn't get it right. And if things break out, no crew will hire him in the future.

You, an actor, don't even meet the professional standards. Who dares to invite you to act?

That's not asking you to act, but letting you burn the crew's money.

As long as the crew is built, it will cost money every minute and every second.

"Okay, Tom." Xu Ang waved to Tom, "Let him find his condition, and let's go through it next time."

What if I can’t pass it next time?

Xu Ang didn't say it, but everyone knew it.

A simple shot because you

If the extra act fails three times in a row, what do you think the director will do?

The world will turn around without anyone, and filming will continue without anyone on the crew. The extras are not the main actors, so it doesn’t have to be him.

"What's going on with the Screen Actors Guild? Why did it introduce such a person with insufficient professional standards?"

Xu Ang was asking Tom.

The latter is a local snake and can know a lot of information that others don't know.

Tom looked around and saw that everyone else was some distance away from them. Tom lowered his voice and said: "Director, someone feels threatened by Pixar, and they are trying to find ways to hinder us. You know, as Pixar If the filming of the first non-animated film with a large investment does not go smoothly and the quality of the film is affected, if those people continue to work, it is likely to interrupt Pixar's rising momentum. "

In short, this matter is caused by strife among peers.

Xu Ang has no doubt about the power of the established Hollywood film companies in this circle. If it is true as Tom said, many actors with acting skills will not join the cast of Transformers 1 due to various concerns, so the Screen Actors Guild can only recommend acting skills. When bad people come, things make sense.

Given the discrimination against people of color in the American environment, Xu Ang even suspected that someone in the Screen Actors Guild was adding fuel to the flames and deliberately causing trouble for him.

If Lao Mi had deliberately caused trouble, he might have been able to stump a large number of people, but their mistake was that Xu Ang's Transformers 1 was finished, and all he needed was a show.

The most important thing is that the selling point and attraction of this movie are not the actors, but the Transformers made with special effects.

Therefore, their tricks are destined to be ineffective.

"Tom, go and tell them, shoot for me, and if you can't do it, pay the money and leave. With such a big investment, I'm still worried that no one will act? If the candidate recommended by the Screen Actors Guild doesn't work, I will find someone from other places. You have to understand that I still have a film company in China, so I don’t have to worry about anyone.”

Xu Ang did not lower his voice when he said this. He just wanted to let others know that he was not worried about being available to anyone at all. If you guys don't do well, I will bring someone over from China. At worst, it will take a few days. He has money, so it doesn't matter. But if the movies you American actors shoot in Hollywood are replaced by Chinese actors because of insufficient professional standards, you will be embarrassed, and in serious cases, your careers will be ruined.

It's no wonder that Xu Ang said something so harshly. In fact, if he finished today's shooting tasks earlier, it would be easier for him to finish work early so that he could pick up his little sisters at the airport.
