The genius remembers the address of this site in one second: [] The fastest update! No ads!

The knowledge of film casting is very deep, not only those unspoken rules, the logic and sense of coordination in appearance and acting skills, the popularity of the audience, the salary, the popularity and topicality of the actors, and so on.

The selection of the protagonist is naturally the most important thing, it is the foundation and skeleton of all other castings. It is impossible to use a black man as the male lead but choose a Latina to play her biological mother. For youth films, it is impossible to make the figure look good It is impossible for any female supporting role of the heroine to appear on the screen, so the sooner the protagonist can be determined, the better, especially the protagonist with complicated relationships in the play.

"APLUS, is this one okay?"

As the unshakable male protagonist, Song Ya went to Universal Studios at the appointed time, and took a makeup photo there.

"Yes." He glanced at the crumpled gray-green jacket in the dresser's hand, and nodded in agreement with the script and the male lead in the original movie. According to the setting, the male protagonist comes from an extremely poor family in the black area, and the clothes must conform to the family income. On the premise of satisfying the sense of reality, he can advertise his products by the way. For example, the T-shirt under the jacket is the product of A+ clothing.

Amblin Entertainment's account management is very professional. This kind of soft advertisement also needs to be paid. Of course, they only charge a symbolic price for the main investor's industry. Most of the A+ clothing expenditure is to provide free clothing for the protagonists and supporting actors. In addition to clothes, they also received musical instrument sponsorship from Yamaha and schoolbag sponsorship from Jansport. The amount is not large, and nothing else. It shows that most advertisers are not optimistic about this movie, otherwise they can get a lot of money by selling mirror ads. cost.

In addition, consumer electronics such as mobile phones and laptops used by the actors in the original movie rarely appear in the student population in this era, which is a great pity.

As for the fluorescent party, the lawsuit in New York was still going on, and Amblin Entertainment and Universal didn't want to ask for trouble, and the production of Bahn Company was already at full capacity, and Song Ya didn't insist.

After changing her clothes, she walked into the well-lit small studio, and Song Ya began to pose, accompanied by the male lead's paralyzed expression.

"Keep your head up, yes, that's it, keep it up." The male photographer kept pressing the shutter, "Okay, let's change the position, you want to be like this..."

He approached and demonstrated in person, such as smiling brightly with thumbs and index fingers apart than at the chin position, putting his hands in his pockets to pose coolly, holding his hands on his chest, etc., "This way, this way... constantly changing postures, our efficiency will be much faster .”

"Like a model?" Song Ya asked.

"You are my model APLUS now."

"OK."

Song Ya kept switching poses, and changed into another outfit after the photographer was satisfied. After two or three hours of tossing, it was finally done.

"Does everyone want to take pictures?" Song Ya changed back into her clothes, took the gold watch and gold chain and other items that Taraji helped put away, and put them on.

"Yes, the main character, other people don't have to spend as much time as the heroine and heroine." The photographer replied: "After the heroine is selected, you have to come and take photos of the two of us, and there will be various promotional photos during the filming. , studio photos, short documentaries..."

"It sounds very cumbersome." Song Ya said.

"This is just the beginning." The photographer counted the film and said with a smile: "APLUS, you should have gotten used to it long ago, haven't you? Just ignore us who are always wandering around."

Indeed, the number of channels is similar to that of record announcements, but the workload is much greater.

"Catherine." He and Taraji went to the casting room rented from Universal. It was actually a larger rehearsal room with a wooden floor for dancing, a long table, and only a folding chair in front of the long table. Tripods and machines for photography. The third round of auditions for the heroine had just ended, and he met Catherine, the president of Amblin Entertainment, again, "How was the result?"

"Look at it yourself." Catherine handed Song Ya the resume that had been reduced to less than ten copies, "Want to watch the casting video? Let's watch and chat."

"OK.

"

Amy is put in the first, "Hi, everyone, my name is Amy Adams..." The video starts from the beginning, Amy appears from the doorway, showing her trademark smile, slightly ingratiating.

"It's such a sweet smile." Catherine looked at her face on the screen and said, "Maybe she is indeed suitable for Hollywood. In other movies, she will have a good chance of playing the kind of American lower-class sweet girl."

Hinting again, Song Ya didn't respond.

"Come in, did you get the dance moves for the audition?" the casting director asked.

"Yes, Ms. Fletcher gave it to me, she also gave some guidance, thank you very much, hi." She greeted Anne Fletcher to make connections.

"Let's get started, don't waste time," said Anne Fletcher.

"OK."

She immediately took off her coat in a hurry. Inside was a ballet dress. She had a thin and attractive figure. The accompaniment sounded. Standing on tiptoes like a deer, he immediately raised his legs...

Looking at one set, the movements are in place, but the expressiveness is indeed a little bit worse. It is better than what they said before, such as aerobics, and the sense of strength is very lacking. Of course, it can also be said that the dance is light enough. The host's setting is inconsistent, after all, the hostess is a modern dancer who uses more ballet elements.

Catherine glanced at Song Ya, "It's very improved, isn't it?" Song Ya pretended to be stupid.

None of the people present spoke.

"Okay, the following is a dialogue in the play." In the video, someone handed her a piece of paper.

"No one can get this line in advance." The casting director said to Song Ya.

Song Ya nodded and continued to read.

"Mom, I don't have a partner anymore, my performance is over! Are you satisfied?"

This is the scene in which the heroine vents her emotions to her mother who insists on her going to college after losing her dance partner. After reading it, Amy chanted the words for a while, and then began to brew emotions and read the lines under the urging of others.

It is not well grasped. The heroine should not be so proud in front of her mother. Amy is obviously overcorrecting. She always holds her head up slightly, trying to make an effect of pride but hidden anger, but under the sweet and lovely face, even if her eyes are wide open The boss is still not convincing.

"It's like a little girl acting like a baby," said the casting director.

Song Ya had nothing to say, "Look at other people's."

"Hey, my name is Jennifer Lopez." A beautiful woman with a Latin face appeared in front of the camera. She danced very well in the first dance, and the power of modern dance was well reflected.

"This is the one with the best proportions and the best dance," said the casting director.

"It was Janet Jackson's backup dancer, and she personally introduced it." Yeremov reminded.

"It looks a bit like the Latin maid in my family." Song Ya said with disgust.

Everyone stopped talking. Fortunately, this girl's acting skills are not even as good as Amy's. She acted like a South American wealthy soap opera in a scene.

"Hey, Catherine, hey..." The next actress seemed to be older, but she was very pretty and danced extremely well.

"Julianna Margulies, who we found out in the ER audition for the story crew, has been dancing for years," Catherine says.

"She is the one with the best acting skills." The casting director added, sure enough, the emotions of the acting part were handled very precisely by her, the feeling of accusation in the helplessness...

"It looks a bit like my lawyer." It is indeed a bit like Peter Flock's wife Alicia, Song Ya asked: "How old is she?"

"Born in 1966." The casting director replied.

Song Ya curled her lips, still expressing her attitude clearly.
