Hollywood was originally just a suburb of Los Angeles, California, on the west coast of the United States, but now it has developed into the ultimate home of global filmmakers and a world-famous film center, which is specially used to refer to the American film industry.
It is also known as the holy land of the world film industry, the birthplace of global fashion and the center of the global music and film industry. It has the world''s top entertainment industry and luxury brand, leading and representing the highest level of global fashion.
Many honors are added to attract countless eyes around the world, which can not be achieved overnight. In addition to the historical accumulation over the past century, it is also inseparable from various systems and organizations spontaneously formed and continuously improved in Hollywood.
For example, the American actors'' Union is a huge presence that can paralyze the Hollywood film industry. In the process of interviewing actors, Mai Xiaoyu and Zhang Xiaoquan deeply realized the strength of this organization.
Before coming to the United States, Mai Xiaoyu had conducted a primary selection of actors who came to the interview through remote video.
The result of the primary election is that there are only three candidates for each of the eight roles required in this man from earth.
This time, Mai Xiaoyu and Zhang Xiaoquan came to the United States to audition and choose the most suitable eight actors from the 24 actors.
However, before the audition began, he received a notice that two of the candidates passed the audition of other teams in the United States and were selected. Fortunately, the two candidates are not interviewing the same role, which is not a trouble for the cast to audition.
In the process of audition and casting, the director is mainly Zhang Xiaoquan. Mai Xiaoyu''s external identity is the director''s translator, and Ke Haoyi is also a bodyguard.
During the live audition, Mai Xiaoyu fully realized the difference between American group performance and domestic group performance.
The audition attitude is similar, they all want to get the role; But when it comes to working hours, pay and other benefits, the difference is huge.
In China, if mass actors have the opportunity to play a major role in the film, the treatment is easy to talk about. Even for some people, as long as there is a chance, even if they don''t give money.
But America is different.
Salary, diet, insurance, industrial injury compensation and other things related to the interests of actors can not be less, even group performances!
The minimum guaranteed wage, the maximum working time per day, overtime pay beyond normal working hours, relatively comfortable working environment, eating environment, number of meals per day, etc. are put in China... You are just a group show!
It''s good to have a movie. What else do you want!
It''s the old saying that three legged toads are hard to find, and two legged people catch a lot!
As for the eating environment and the number of meals per day, I''m kidding!
In order to save Chen Ben and Breakfast expenses for group performances, some crew members deliberately start up after 8 a.m; Lunch box, the most ruthless crew can take out white rice with pickles to fool things.
White rice rice with pickles... In the United States, the group actor can wedge the lunch box in your face on the spot. Don''t expect to shoot the play. Qing is waiting for the actors'' Union to come to you and say.
The American actors'' Union is so strong that it has even begun to hold actors'' Union awards for a long time, and the degree of attention is not low. Many big stars in Hollywood are also union members. It is conceivable that the energy of this organization is.
China also has an actor Union. For example, Hengdian film and Television City, which is jokingly called "either filming in Hengdian or on the way to Hengdian", also has an actor Union. However, compared with the American actors'' Union, it is quite different in terms of scale, level, nature and influence.
Considering the long-term and healthy development of the domestic film and television industry, the standardization and institutionalization of the American actors'' Union is very important; However, from the perspective of self-interest, Mai Xiaoyu loves the domestic actors'' Union.
Looking at the selected actors, when talking about the contract treatment, Mai Xiaoyu missed Meng''s members especially by focusing on a certain clause in the contract.
Although Meng people now only have members in Yanjing, Shancheng and Donghai, these members are really the most lovely people.
When I "Zhaoan" the other six lambs, Kyushu is calm, I will shoot a TV play for you!
Although the American actors'' Union is very standardized and claims to use a variety of means to limit "meat and body for roles", everyone knows that the hidden rules prevailing in the entertainment industry all over the world... The birthplace is Hollywood!
In her early autobiography, Marilyn Monroe said, "yes, I sleep with the producer. Everyone is like that. If you don''t do it, there is another girl waiting outside the door", "I don''t remember how many times she squatted down and opened their zipper", to today''s "sofa audition", the hidden rules have been sublimated like a Phoenix Nirvana in Hollywood and have been called "rules of the game".
"Fish, doesn''t it mean that in the United States, as long as the director tells the girl interviewed to give one minute to show herself, the girl has a great chance to unbutton and undress immediately?"
After the casting of "Linda Murphy", watching the young actress leaving for the audition, Zhang Koizumi asked Mai Xiaoyu in a low voice.
Mai Xiaoyu looked at him speechless: "what do you think? If you direct a film with an investment of millions of dollars and choose a heroine or important supporting actress, I guarantee that some American girls want to have sex with you."
"That''s what I said... Don''t look at me like that. I''m just curious. I''m going to be a father."
"Happy to be a father?"
“ × A × Yes, old man × Goods! "
……
Three days later, all eight actors in this man from earth were selected.
A historian, biologist, devout Christian Professor, anthropologist who has lived for 14000 years, another historian, archaeologist, student, lover and psychologist who fell in love with the protagonist.
Among the eight actors, there are blacks and whites, men and women, old and young, tall, short, fat and thin.
Zhang Koizumi sent them their scripts and lines in advance, in English.
After the eight actors sign the film contract, they need to be familiar with the script and recite the lines in advance. This science fiction film is completely promoted in the form of dialogue, and the lines are very important.
Zhang Koizumi was not idle, so he took the time to get familiar with the crew. The crew is very small and there are less than 20 staff. The professional translator Shi Hao found for Zhang Xiaoquan is a female.
Mai Xiaoyu gave up and left Ke Haoyi to Zhang Xiaoquan as a bodyguard to protect his personal safety. I borrowed a Cadillac and a driver from Shi Hao to look for the lambs scattered in the United States.
"Hello, are you Christine Jermaine Stewart?"
"It''s me. Who are you?"
"Dead rabbit, remember me?"
"Is that you?"
There was a faint exchange on the phone.
Vaguely, Mai Xiaoyu heard a man''s angry voice on the other end of the phone: "the Oriental liar who cheated you $10000 in Cannes a few years ago?"
