26. Chapter 26 still need to work hard
Sean gained a lot in this class, and the biggest thing is undoubtedly to distinguish what means and what purpose is. If you just immerse yourself in that way of expression, it is easy to put the cart before the horse and waste time and energy in vain.
If you distinguish these two points clearly, you can find the right direction to move forward and take a more solid step.
Of course, this is just one step. I won’t talk about finding the acting that suits you and can show your own characteristics. The key lies in yourself, but if you want to convey the emotions of the character to the audience as perfect as possible, it is not that true.
Easy. In addition to working hard, this also requires the cooperation of a series of people such as directors, photographers, lighting engineers, etc. If the director always does not give close-up shots, the photographer always has a few degrees of angle, and the lighting engineer always turns the lights.
If you need highlights or dark spots, no matter how good your acting skills are, you will be discounted on the screen.
Although this is only an extreme situation, it is enough to illustrate the importance of the team. So in addition to taking time to ask Mr. Harrington, Sean also attended various parties many times, trying to meet more people and seek more opportunities.
.
"Hey, Dax, I saw you there just now, why are you running here now?" As the voice came, the middle-aged man holding a beer bottle was chatting, and his face changed.
"Damn, Eric, I wouldn't have come if I had known you were here." Although he complained, he did not have a tone of disgust.
"When did you become so timid, Dax Roman?" Eric Reese asked this first, then laughed: "Okay, I won't drink with you tonight--I'm doing it lately
What?"
Dex Roman was obviously relieved: "What else can I do? I'm busy casting work for a movie."
"Oh?" Reese showed a curious look.
"The work of "The Genius Ripley", the famous thrilling female writer, Patricia Highsmith." Roman said briefly.
"I heard that it seems Anthony Mingla is planning to bring this novel to the screen?" Reese smiled and patted him on his shoulder, "Good job, Dax, started working with a well-known director.
”
"Stop hype, Eric, I'm just an assistant." Roman sighed, then noticed the young man next to Reese, "Is this?"
"Oh, I'm so sorry, this is Sean, Sean Don; Sean, this is Dax, Dax Roman." Reese thought of something and pulled the young man behind him to introduce it.
"You are Eric Reese's Sean?" Roman looked at Sean curiously.
"Eric's Sean?" The young man was a little stunned, but immediately laughed, "If Eric hadn't discovered another actor named Sean recently, then I should be that Sean."
"Which idiot thinks about this? What is Eric? Sean of Reese." Reese shouted with dissatisfaction, but there was a smug smile on his face.
"Come on, Eric, this has spread all over the circle, especially after Stevenson got out of the crew of "Everyone Loves Raymond", he just didn't get it on the surface." Roman shook
He shrugged, and then said in an exclaimed tone: "I have to say, your vision is indeed very good, Eric."
"That's certainly," Reese laughed, then slapped Sean on his shoulder, "How about it, do you think Sean can play the leading role in "The Genius Ripley."
Looking up and down at him, Roman nodded: "It's very good, at least the appearance is very suitable. The protagonist is a young man in his 20s. To be honest, if the audition had not specified the scope from the beginning, I would be happy to recommend him.
Go up."
"It's a pity," Reese seemed very sorry, "it seems that we can only find another opportunity next time."
"It should be." Roman echoed a few words, then quickly changed the subject, and Reese did not continue.
Sean would occasionally say a few words next to him, always with a calm expression, as if they were discussing just an ordinary thing before and had nothing to do with him. From the beginning, Sean had not expected to get it in this situation.
Although Reese has recommended him this several times, it is more to show off his vision and look at Roman's perfunctory attitude.
After all, my fame is still too small. Although I have become a rating frenzy by starring in four episodes of "Friends" and being abandoned by the crew of "Everyone Loves Raymond", I have successfully experienced the dramatic experience of "Friends" crew.
, has attracted a lot of attention in the TV circle, but it is still much worse than the real star. Besides, this honor does not belong to him alone. The main highlight of "Friends" is still the six starring actors, and
The one who recommended him in the past was Eric Reese, who was also in "Everyone Loves Raymond".
Moreover, as Frederick said, if it is a TV character, others may also seriously consider it. The movie character basically depends on luck.
If he had played a role in a big production, even if he was just a small supporting role, he would have been much better. Even if he had a good attitude, Sean couldn't help but think so in his heart. He didn't remember many famous blockbusters.
They are basically well-known big productions, such as Terminator, Forrest Gump, Titanic, Lord of the Rings, Pirates of the Caribbean and a series of superhero movies.
However, the former has passed, while the latter are all works from the new century. The closest ones are "Lord of the Rings" in 2002 or 2003 - at least in Sean's memory.
Don't be anxious, take your time, there will definitely be a chance. He said to himself at the end, which is one of the reasons why he regards himself as Rees's follower.
However, a lot of things are destined to happen tonight, and just as Sean was planning to meet more people, someone came over.
"So I'm hiding here, I'm looking for you everywhere, Sean." A familiar voice came into his ears, causing him to cough a few times involuntarily.
"Well...is there anything wrong, Jane?" Sean looked at the beautiful woman who appeared in front of him with a pity.
Jennifer didn't answer, but picked up his collar and greeted Rees and others: "Hey, Eric, can I borrow this guy for a while?"
"Please, ma'am." Reese immediately smiled and made a gesture of asking for help.
There was no way, Sean could only be pulled away by Jennifer, and then came to a small room. There were six or seven people sitting inside. In addition to the Courtney and Lisa he knew, there were also a few strange men and women.
Seeing them sitting in pairs, they were probably boyfriend and girlfriend.
"Oh, see who is here, welcome, Capasa." Courteney stood up and applauded, with a smirk on his face. After seeing it, he knew nothing was good.
Sean couldn't help but sigh, but still squeezed out a smile and greeted her and Lisa, and then regretted attending today's party in Jennifer's villa to celebrate Friends' break.
American TV series have two rest periods: summer break and winter break period. Summer break period is the movie schedule. Even if the TV series is exciting, it cannot resist the enthusiasm of Americans to watch movies. There are so many holidays during the winter break period. Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year.
Ordinary people have to celebrate festivals, and actors and producers have to celebrate festivals. Therefore, TV stations will choose to stop playing TV series at this time. On the one hand, they will avoid competing with movies and prevent filming from being intermittent, while on the other hand, they will sway the audience's appetite. The summer break is very
It is usually from May to September, and the winter break is slightly shorter, about December to January or February.
"Shawn is a great young man, polite and modest, just a little too shy, so you should treat him well." Jennifer said after introducing him to others.
So, after sitting down and chatting for a few words, the group began to pull him to drink. Now they were sure that they were teasing themselves in different ways. Sean became more and more depressed. Although he liked them very much, he
It’s not a toy that they can mercy. It seems that they are too modest and simple on the set of Friends, which makes them a little proud and have to find a way to give them some colors.
The opportunity came soon. As Sean pretended to be stupid, he became familiar with Jennifer's friends after a few glasses of wine. The atmosphere in the room began to become lively. A woman immediately took a small plastic
The bag comes out.
"Hey guys, look, this is the best thing." She said, raising the bag of green-brown powder in her hand.
"Is that so, I'll try it." Another man took it, rolled it up skillfully and put it to his mouth and twitched, "Wow, it's really good."
Several people immediately divided the things and rolled them into more than ten pieces, and then one of them handed them three to Jennifer and the others.
"Do I want it too?" Jennifer obviously hesitated. Although Courteney took it, she would put it down again when she saw her like this.
Only Lisa refused firmly: "No, no, you know, I'm already a one-year-old mother."
The other party did not insist, and supported him to continue to encourage Jennifer and Courtney: "It's no big deal to draw one occasionally. Besides, your men are not around, right? Don't worry about what they will see."
Smoking marijuana is often seen in Hollywood, especially at parties in Hollywood. It has been said before that almost no one in the United States has smoked marijuana. Most young people have tasted it during school, and even many middle-class people are
The class will also come from time to time, not to mention that actors who are under much pressure are much greater than ordinary people, so as long as they don’t get dizzy all day long, it’s really no big deal to take one occasionally.
Jennifer and Courteney still didn't answer until Sean's voice sounded: "Well, Jane, how about I drink five cans of beer for every time you smoke?"
"Ha, are you challenging us, little Sean?" Jennifer suddenly narrowed his eyes, as if he was attracted by interest.
Sean straightened his chest, blushed, and looked like he was alcoholic: "If you want to think so... that's fine!"
"I think we satisfy his wish." Courteney also became interested, but Lisa wanted to smooth things over: "No need to do this, Sean..."
"It's okay, Lisa, I just want to know if Jane and Koko have that courage." Sean interrupted Lisa with a chuckle. The advantage of pretending to be half drunk is that all rude behaviors can be pushed to alcohol
The above and prevent the other party from thinking deeply about his own words.
"Then I accept it." Jennifer immediately picked up a piece of marijuana.
Chapter completed!
