Beauty Comprehensive 1999

Chapter 98 Cheating and Surprise

Elena is the make-up artist on the set, also known as the stylist.

Their crew is rather stingy and only hired Irina to be the stylist for all the actors in the crew except for the male and female protagonists. She can be called an all-rounder.

The two male and female protagonists can be considered big and small, and both have stylists arranged by the company. Especially the male protagonist, whose acting skills are not very good, has a very high status. With the help of the company, he gets a higher salary than ordinary actors.

Therefore, the male and female protagonists need to use the crew's stylist, usually only when they need a stylist to save the scene in the middle of filming.

As an urban sitcom, I'm Crazy for Love has only a few actors, and there aren't many places that require complicated makeup. One person is enough.

It is true that as a stylist, it is very easy to get an actor's hair, which is just a matter of cutting it. You don't even need scissors, just comb it with a comb and you can get a few hairs.

But that was not what Xie Zihao and Todd were thinking about. They both looked at Thornton in a strange way.

Unexpectedly, this bear-like guy would actually have sex with the petite Miss Elena.

After seeing what they were thinking, Thornton said calmly:

"What's the matter? We are both single and adults. Isn't it normal to comfort each other?"

The two people were speechless. Isn't this a normal thing?

It was hard for them to imagine how Thornton's giant bear-like figure could be intimate with Miss Irina, who was less than 1.55 meters tall. The contrast was too strong. Is this Beauty and the Beast? Or dancing with a giant?

…

Next, when everyone was almost ready, it was already 9:05 in the morning, and the director arrived belatedly.

Of course, this is the director's right, and he is not late. The reason why the actors came here early is to familiarize themselves with the process as early as possible and cultivate a tacit understanding with each other so that they can cooperate with each other during the filming process.

Generally, only big stars or popular new stars who are at the peak of their popularity will rush into the show, and young actors are not even qualified to do the show.

"Everyone, today's newcomer is our handsome Lance Sherman. I hope you can have a pleasant cooperation. OK, let's get started!"

The director said this at the beginning, obviously asking everyone to take care of the newcomers.

Although the director is not the ruler of the crew like Dongfang, he is still the second-largest figure below the producer. Under the protection of the director, these people in the crew do not mean to embarrass the newcomers, but even if they have ideas, they will not

How dare you openly target newcomers!

Evan Adlon, who was watching on the sidelines, heard the director say this, and his already bad face suddenly became a little more foul. He glared at someone and snorted, then turned and left the set.

As soon as the leading actor left, Xie Zihao felt that the atmosphere around him relaxed. So after the recorder called the start, he immediately got into the mood and started their performance with his opposite actor.

Because Todd took him to experience how to move under the camera lens in advance and to interact with the opposite actors, Xie Zihao, as a newcomer, quickly got into the mood.

Of course, this is more due to the effect of the substitute spell.

Compared with the two psychic paper puppets that serve as natal substitutes, ordinary paper figures are easier to be sacrificed and refined into substitutes. Of course, there is an essential difference between the two. One is a one-time product, and the other is a natal substitute that can be used for life.

Originally, casting a spell through the technique of avatar to make the paper man avatar attach to oneself was a way to avoid the enemy's locking by changing the breath. However, Xie Zihao thought of using this method to cheat, temporarily changing his temperament and personality, and replacing him.

How to perform on your own.

At this time, he has obtained the state given by the paper puppet. The spirit in the paper puppet will affect his own breath, even temperament and behavior. If it is a spiritual paper puppet that has been refined, he can even temporarily obtain the corresponding extraordinary abilities of the substitute.

.

Of course, Xie Zihao does not really want to change his personality, but is preparing to rely on the possession of the shadowy soldiers of Paper No. 1 to perform performance simulations of temperament and personality.

This was the first thought that came to his mind after reading the content of the character in the script. Because this character was so consistent with the life experience of the dead ghost in the cursed ring.

After the last test during the audition, Xie Zihao was very satisfied with the effect of this cheating method. He basically didn’t need to worry about it, and he could often perform according to the character’s set personality.

Thanks to the influence of the unlucky ghost stand-in, Xie Zihao vividly played the role of a rich second-generation dog-licker with a gloomy personality and some paranoia.

Although it was inevitable that he would go NG a few times during this period, it was mostly due to problems with props, positioning, etc., or other people's mistakes. He only made NG mistakes twice, and the reasons were not due to his performance. For a pure newcomer,

What an outstanding performance for an actor!

The rich second-generation dog-licking role he performed was very vivid and in line with the character setting in the script. This performance also satisfied the director and the producer Carter and screenwriter Ms. Mays who came to observe the first scene.

Can it not be amazing?

In fact, Xie Zihao is equivalent to putting on another person's coat. Although the core idea is still himself, he can use the influence of the paper man to express his appearance and temperament as if he is a different person. Isn't this kind of "instinct" performance?

Is it more realistic than any other school of acting?

Not only did his performance satisfy director Simmons and other senior management of the crew, but even the actors who acted opposite him were impressed by his "acting skills."

After Xie Zihao completed today’s filming, the director took the lead in applauding and said:

"Excellent performance by our newbies..."

We all have been in the industry for several years, and of course we know that very few new actors have such a successful first time on camera as Xie Zihao, especially this guy who is not a newcomer with a professional background.

For a while, these veterans of the crew were all thinking about making friends with this new guy. Even if they didn't get along well, at least they wouldn't have any intention of deliberately making things difficult during the rest of the filming process.

When Xie Zihao finished playing, Todd came up to him immediately and said in rapid succession:

"Fake! When did your acting skills become so good? Is the magic of the East so amazing?"

"If you become a big star, you must let me be your agent!"

As his assistant, he was not qualified to watch the previous audition, so he did not see Xie Zihao's stunning performance in conquering the three audition officers.

But judging from his friend's performance now, he, as an insider, understands that the best friend who grew up together is definitely not as good as a newcomer who has never been exposed to acting. Todd has reason to suspect that either his best friend has extraordinary talents or is

This guy secretly made up lessons behind his back.

After all, they have been together almost every day for most of the past ten years, so why didn't they realize that this kid has acting talent?

All I can say about this is that the magic of the East is amazing!

Faced with the surprise and suspicion of his friends, Xie Zihao changed the subject and said:

"Don't you have the dream to be a big director? Why do you want to be my agent again?"

As expected, Todd was led astray, and he opened his mouth and replied:

"Is there no conflict between being a big director and being your agent? And when you become a big star, you can invest in my movie! Then you will be the leading actor, and I, as the director, will use your resources to attract investment and select

Actor, wouldn’t I be able to succeed in this way?”

Todd feels that he is quite smart. He understands that if he works hard alone with no resources or background and relies on his own efforts to become a great director, he probably will not be able to succeed after Xie Zihao became a big star and followed Zhan Guang.

The probability is higher!

Xie Zihao was speechless for a while after hearing this. Your dream will depend on my efforts to pay for it, right?

Worthy of being the best bad friend!

But judging from the relationship between him and Todd in his memory, I guess the original person would definitely be willing to do his best to help, right?

And he actually doesn't hate this bad friend who can usually make jokes, because although Todd seems to be out of character at ordinary times, he is really good at it when something happens!

Compared to some of the other fair-weather friends and plastic brothers in the original memory, although Todd looks out of place, he is actually much more reliable.

Second update!

Thanks for the tip!
