Among those residents, the first one selected was the woman named Macy Kalele recommended by Bess. Indeed, as Bess said, this woman is very good-looking, and she looks a bit soft from her appearance. With such a weak feeling, it is impossible to imagine that she is the kind of woman who trades her body for opportunities, and she is also working as a high-end call girl while being an actress.
Let's not talk about this woman's scheming and skills. During the audition, her acting skills were definitely passed. Otherwise, such a woman can still be completely successful when she works part-time as an actress and responds to an uncertain time and place. It is really an outstanding acting skill to hide the person next to him, so Yan Xu gave her the role of an opera teacher and a female student. Although except for the female reporter, there are no female characters in this movie. She's not particularly outstanding, but if you really count, her role should be considered a supporting actress.
As for the remaining characters, the most important are firefighters, police, veterinarians, and epidemic prevention personnel. Of course, there are also some interspersed, guiding specific plots, and soy sauce characters, namely an elderly couple and an opera teacher. , an African woman who doesn¡¯t understand English at all, a lawyer who was bitten to death by a dog, a policeman who started to be bitten, a sick woman, an administrator, a mother and daughter, an old woman who first mutated, an epidemic prevention worker who was bitten, a cleaning lady , chief of the fire station, etc., then you need to recruit from the Screen Actors Guild.
There are more than 500 movies that can be released on the big screen in the United States every year, and there are countless other movies that are released on video tapes. There are even many movies that cannot be released on the big screen and can only be released on video tapes. Experimental films distributed within the scope, as well as graduation projects or assignments of some film students. Although these movies add up to less than a thousand. But it's almost close. In addition to these movies, there are also numerous commercials, music videos, small theaters, TV show performances, etc. that require actors, so there are countless auditions at the Screen Actors Guild every day, and there are even special auditions by the Screen Actors Guild. A hall was set up for auditions for these people. It was like a grocery market, with people everywhere.
Although the big production companies will have their own audition venues, in Hollywood there are more small production companies and small crews. For a small stage, of course the audition will not be in a messy hall. There are also many small rooms one after another on one side of the hall. This is also for the purpose of not interfering with each other and for the confidentiality of each other. This can be regarded as a kind of humanized design. Of course, such use also charges a fee.
Although there are only about twenty actors, the number of people who were arranged to audition by the Screen Actors Guild was between two and three hundred. Of course, many of them did not just come to Yan Xu¡¯s crew for interviews. And such a number is for a small crew like theirs, and some large crews may have nearly a thousand interviewees.
With the expansion of Hollywood movies around the world. The film industry in the United States is also getting bigger and bigger, which has also prompted many men and women with dreams of becoming stars to look for opportunities in Hollywood. These people are not just from the United States, but from Asia, Europe, Africa, and Latin America, from almost all over the world. There are all races. Although the number of films shot in Hollywood is increasing every year, it is far from keeping up with the increase in actors. Hollywood actors are glamorous, but most of them are those who are struggling below the poverty line. Do you have this? Next time, you are running around for a minor role, even a small actor who can support himself for a day with a piece of bread. In such an environment, it is not a problem for a capable actor to betray himself.
The process of selecting roles went very quickly. Yan Xu's film did not have particularly profound acting requirements. As long as the performance was natural, the main thing reflected was panic. Even though some of the performances were extremely exaggerated, but in a When people are full of fear, it is not an excessive sign.
Regarding the selection of actors for cutscenes, Yan Xu almost always chooses them. As long as they match the appearance of the characters, they can be passed quickly. For those roles that look like part-timers, most of the crews choose this way. Basically, if the appearance matches the is allowed.
Soon, the supporting characters and secondary characters were basically selected, while the main roles of firefighters, police officers and veterinarians were still unavailable. As for the epidemic prevention personnel, they chose a recent TV drama experience. Forty-year-old man named Paul.
Looking at his thick information, Yan Xu was surprised. He has basically played hundreds of roles, large and small, and even participated in hundreds of TV series, but in each of them he looked like a passerby. No one will remember him for his role, but his experience has made his acting skills very mature. Just one line of performance has allowed his superb abilities to be displayed, and it also makes Yan Xu have no doubts. hesitateHe was given the role of a defense officer who played an important role in the second half.
[The next one. ] Yan Xu took a pen and lightly drew a red cross on the information in his hand, and put the information aside. There was already a thick stack of information next to it. The amount of these information was enough to match the ones next to it. Dozens of times through the data.
Not long after Yan Xu finished speaking, the door inside the room was opened again. What walked in was a handsome man dressed elegantly, and he was also extremely strong in figure. His appearance also made Yan Xu a little nervous. Startled.
[Hello Director Yan, my name is David Duchovny, you can call me David. I am twenty-eight years old. This is my resume. ] Yan Xu¡¯s movie has not announced the general content, not even the name of the movie. What everyone knows is just a horror movie, and so many people came to the interview because of Yan Xu. Although they may not necessarily know Yan Xu¡¯s name, but when it comes to Beast Meal, many people know it. At least many people have heard of this name, but some people don¡¯t know it. When receiving the audition notice, if you do a little research, you will know that there can be such a name. This is an excellent work. In the eyes of those young actors, it is already a successful movie. At least it is better than some TV series and small theaters. Therefore, I don¡¯t know the name or even a little bit of the story. I only know that it is a movie. The reason why so many people come to audition for horror movies.
[David Duchovny? ] This name also made Yan Xu somewhat familiar, and also made him a little stunned. It was also when he received the establishment letter from David and carefully looked at the photos above that he finally remembered Who is this man? He's totally crazy. This is something Yan Xu never expected. His interview actually attracted a sex addict.
Speaking of David Duchovny, although he has made some movies, he does not have a particularly famous movie masterpiece. The highest-grossing movies are also extensions of his previous TV works. Yes, they are TV works. Yan Xu used to like watching American TV series. As a classic work in American TV series, The X-Files occupies an important position in American TV series. The production cost of four million US dollars per episode is even higher than that of many low-cost movies. For For Yan Xu, it is a classic among classics. The male protagonist Fox Mulder played by David is a classic character. In the later period, he even got a million-dollar episode for this role, which is completely unprecedented in the television industry. Top level existence.
Although he later developed in the film industry, he never had any particularly outstanding works. However, he later returned to the TV industry to star in "California Love", which was a very good late-night porn drama for Yan Xu. Such a TV series is absolutely perfect in the mainland. was impossible to film and broadcast, but it was very popular in the United States and has been running for six seasons.
Apart from these two TV series, what made Yan Xu pay more attention to him was the news. He was a well-known playboy in the circle. He had been in love with many women and was even rumored to be addicted to sex in 1997. , he was still hospitalized for treatment ten years later because of this, which was the biggest news at the time. Even his disease was the same as that of the novelist in "California Love".
Looking at his resume, he has just appeared in his first debut film, Working Girl, in which he played a very small role. This is also his first and only screen acting experience.
[Are you a graduate of Yale University? Still studying for a PhD? ] Looking through David Duchovny's resume, although he knew his future achievements, Yan Xu was still surprised when he looked at his resume. These are all his current achievements. He graduated from the famous Princeton University and later He was admitted to Yale University's graduate school in English literature, which was a perfect example of a prestigious school. He even gave up the doctorate he was studying for and entered the entertainment industry.
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? There is only one dissertation left to get a doctorate. ] David Duchovny nodded.
This situation is simply unbelievable for Asians. Giving up the doctorate degree from a prestigious school that is about to be obtained, and joining the entertainment industry just because of the interest in acting, starting from the bottom, is tantamount to giving up a great opportunity. If this was in an Asian country, this person would be absolutely crazy, especially in countries with obvious class status like South Korea and Japan, where highly educated people from such prestigious schools are very respected. Moreover, his social status is also very high. Doing this is equivalent to giving up his status as a noble and becoming a commoner.
