24. Chapter 24 Future Planning
"I have three scripts here, two are sitcoms, and one is a drama about the police. The TV series related to the police tells the story of various life trivial matters of a police station in North Boston, mixed with various
One of the sitcoms is the story of several young people running a bar in Miami. As for the other, it was the well-received "Will and Grace" which started this year. "In the Endeavor Elite Agency, it belongs to the
In Frederick's compartment, Sean's agent was talking about work eloquently.
"The previous sitcom and the one that describes the police are all new dramas in preparation. The sitcom is scheduled to be released in the spring next year, while the police drama is next year's autumn. If you are interested, I'm very sure to get it.
A secondary protagonist. As for the crew of "Will and Grace", they have a supporting role looking for someone to audition, with at least five episodes of scenes." At this point, Frederick paused and observed Sean after
Just continued.
"My suggestion is to ignore that sitcom first. You know, generally speaking, TV series released in the fall are important TV series. Most of the ones released in the spring are used to supplement the emergency period, although there are also good ratings.
, but relatively speaking, it is too few. Then, the police drama can be considered, police, lawyers, doctors, and all are good themes of TV dramas. Before that, you can consider going to the crew of "Will and Grace",
Although there are descriptions of homosexuality, the actual scale is not large. Of course, the end of the matter depends on your opinion." In the end, the agent spread his hands.
Sean didn't say anything, sat in the chair and pondered for a moment before looking up again: "Is there a script for movies?"
Frederick raised his eyebrows, but didn't say anything. After recalling carefully, he flipped through the information on the table and said, "If you really want it, I can get a few scripts, but I can get it."
I can't be sure of what role I get."
He sat upright and looked at Sean with a serious expression: "Listen, Sean, you can definitely become a movie actor, but that's not now. You still need to accumulate experience and qualifications now, you need a better one
The role of the film director or producer will notice you. Believe me, as long as the opportunity is right, I will win you the role."
"Ha, are you selling your way of jumping from TV to movies?" Before Sean could speak, a female voice came over with a joke.
Then, a professional woman in a ladies suit appeared in front of the two of them. She had a big brown wave, looked about thirty years old, had a pretty good figure, and her chin was slightly raised, which seemed to be very strong.
"Is there any problem?" Frederick suddenly showed a very dissatisfied look.
"No, nothing," the other party chuckled, "I just think that if you can't do it, don't fool it with excuses."
As she said that, she looked at Sean again: "I have to say, Sean, you performed very well in "Friends". I happen to have a character here, romantic comedy. Although she is a supporting role, she has room for performance.
Do you want to come here and try it?"
Facing this mature woman, even though Sean felt that she was very attractive, she couldn't help but feel speechless for a moment.
"You don't need to judge my way of doing things. Anna Gordon! Let me go back and save your energy to deal with men!" Frederick screamed in anger, and he was slutty,
Get up and chase people.
"Okay OK," Anna Gordon didn't seem to care at all. "You make me happy like this, so I won't go on, but Sean, if you are interested, you can come to me at any time."
Then, after walking a few steps, she turned back and smiled badly at Frederick: "Also, there is a news to tell you that after the New Year, I will have my own office.
Red."
What a personality woman. Sean couldn't help laughing in his eyes. When the other party walked away, he remembered that he should comfort Frederick. But then he turned his head and heard the sound of banging like a constant sound. His agent
At this moment, the man was holding a magazine and knocking hard on his forehead. Then he grabbed a stack of white paper and stuffed it into his mouth and bitten it desperately. Finally, he took out a pencil and gritted his teeth and poked it on the white paper with hatred. Look
Sean was stunned.
After a while of this, Frederick stopped, tidied up his collar and let out a sigh. He looked at Sean, who was still open with his mouth as if nothing had happened: "Okay, let's continue."
"Are you okay?" Sean, who came to his senses, asked tentatively, "Who is that woman?"
"Anna Gordon, my old rival - let's continue talking about your work," Frederick obviously didn't want to talk about this issue, "If you don't think it's right, you might as well talk about your thoughts.
Planning, maybe we can find it from it.”
"Okay," said Shawn for the time being, and said his thoughts, "I don't want to play any role in a short period of time."
"Hmm?" Frederick blinked, as if he was suspicious that he had heard it wrong.
"You know what you want to say, Fred, don't worry, listen to me first," Sean raised his hand, "Since I want to continue to develop here, I must consider it in the long run, and now I'm the most
What is lacking is experience.”
He sat upright and made himself look very serious: "Indeed, opportunities are important, but without strength as a foundation, they are just an attic in the air. So I want to use this time to find a place with short-term performance training and try to make myself as much as possible.
Be able to systematically learn how to perform in front of the camera. In addition, we have plenty of time to discuss how to develop next. I can also learn more about the rules of this circle under your guidance - I just entered
Hollywood is only three months old, isn’t it?”
If Sean had a little idea of leaving when he was in "Friends", he made up his mind to do better after Naomi left. This was not entirely because of Naomi.
Although she played a driving role, the most important thing was Sean's consistent belief: once she decided to do something, she should do it as well as possible.
Therefore, systematic training is very necessary. No matter how talented and experienced he is, Hollywood is not comparable to that of the school stage drama. However, he has just achieved some results and does not want to lose this little popularity that comes from difficult things.
You can choose short-term training. But even this may have an impact. Just look at Frederick frowned, but it means that he did not object immediately, that means that he still agrees with these words.
"But there is one thing, Sean." After thinking for a while, he finally spoke, "How do you maintain your current popularity?"
He asked seriously, and it was indeed a question, but Sean laughed, with a bit of teasing, "That's your problem, isn't it?"
The agent rolled his eyes immediately.
"Performance skills are roughly divided into two factions, technical school and method school. The so-called technical school, simply put, analyzes the joys, sorrows, sorrows, and joys of the characters, such as being happy in front of the camera and being sad in front of the camera, and then passing through the camera during the shooting
A series of means such as facial expressions or body language are expressed. The method requires the actor to fully integrate into the inner world of the character, treat the character as a real character, and then treat himself as a character completely, and express himself in the camera.
"On the podium, a middle-aged white man in his forties and bearded, was talking endlessly.
Because of Hollywood, there are many performance training institutions in Los Angeles, but if you want to conduct short-term systematic training, it depends on your character. If you meet a teacher with real and responsible materials, then you will be more or less likely
If you can learn something new, but meet a guy who is just perfunctory, it will be useless.
So, under Frederick's arrangement, Sean ran to Southern California University to attend their performance classes. The atmosphere of American universities is very open, and as long as the lecturer and professor have no objection, anyone can go to the class.
Sean chose a professor named Wallace Walker, who was said to have a very good level, but the person standing on the podium is not Professor Walker, his name is John Harrington, who is here to make some trouble for the moment.
The professor is a substitute. To be honest, Sean prefers his teaching style. Professor Walker has a solid theoretical skill, but his explanation is a bit rigid, while Mr. Harrington is much more flexible, humorous and slightly ostentatious tone.
It is also easy to attract people's attention, and more importantly, the theory is well interpreted.
"In the earliest film productions, the actors were basically technicalists - well, at least Hollywood is like this. Then, until Konstantin Stanislavsky appeared, the methodists began to look up." Harrington said
I picked up a book on the podium and knocked it, "I think most of the people here have heard of "Actors' Self-cultivation", but there are not many people who have read it and read it in detail."
A low laughter sounded in the classroom, and Sean smiled a little, asking Zhou Xingxing for his blessing. The name of this book was also heard in his previous life, so when he decided to be an actor, he bought one. Unfortunately, he was in a hurry.
I browsed it and put it aside. Many books talk about basic theories more popularly, while deep-seated things either have the limitations of the times or are not very understanding, so they eventually become collections.
"Of course, Stanislavsky is not the founder of the Methodist School. There have been many masters summarizing the way the Methodist School is expressed long ago. But it cannot be denied that it is precisely because of Stanislavsky's great strength.
It is advocated that the method school has begun to enter the vision of film directors and actors, and has gradually become one of the mainstream performance methods that are not inferior to the skill school!" Harrington continued.
Then a student raised his hand and asked: "Mr. Harrington, we know that many famous actors are methodological schools, such as Malone Brando, or Al Pacino, Robert De Niro, etc., may I ask this
