¡°Modi, you are definitely the delicate-and-touching type!¡±
"Am I?"
"How else can you still be sexy and hot (xy-and-hot)?"
The "Actors Marketing Center" photo studio on Purdue Avenue in the north of Santa Monica has bright lighting in the reception hall, and simple sofas and other items are neatly arranged. Although there are no photos of celebrities on the wall of the photography works, there is a A portrait of a customer actor hanging there, including adults, teenagers, and children, all beautifully photographed.
This is a place that Stella is accustomed to visiting. The price is moderate, but it can produce high-quality photos. It is most suitable for newcomers and poor people. Headshot photos usually need to be changed every six months. Otherwise, the casting director thinks the photo is good and calls him over to see if it is wrong. This is a waste of time and a loss of real opportunities.
??????????????????????????????????????
There are many different types of headshot photos. For dramatic performances, you usually need to wear a suit or evening dress; for commercial ads, you should smile as brightly as possible. The more touching and joyful you are, the more likely you are to be favored by the advertising company. This is really a gift. Some people are born to be super enthusiastic and happy when they smile, even if they are not really that happy; some people are obviously very happy, but no matter how they smile, it feels far-fetched.
This time Moody will take standard headshots of film and television actors (actors-headshots), 8 inches x 10 inches (20.32cm x 25.4cm), close-up, focusing on the face and hair.
I made a reservation yesterday and Sunday, so I came in as soon as it opened at 10 a.m. on Monday, the 9th. It will take a few days to get the photos developed, but registration ends for the draft on the 15th, so we don¡¯t have much time.
She didn¡¯t choose to pick out clothes, which were more expensive.
"Girls, everyone has a type, and it is crucial to recognize your own type." Stella taught the two rookies with a sense of accomplishment, "Nina Dobrev, she is the athlete type. , Her smile is so good, how can she smile so happily? Who has her smile and doesn¡¯t have to worry about being shot in commercials.¡±
Safi, who came along to join in the fun, coveted: "If viy were my boyfriend, I would be able to smile so happily."
"No, this is talent." Stella disagreed, "Let's talk about viy's rumored girlfriend, Lily Collins. Isn't it amazing? She is elegant and mature. No matter what, she has nothing to do with sexy and hot. . What about Emma Roberts? She has nothing to do with sexy, sweet and sunny type. Kristen Stewart?
Based on my competitive experience, when it comes to advertising, none of them combined can compare to Nina Dobrev. That girl smiles. As soon as you see her selling something, you want to buy it. "
Stella's long-term female photographer Juliet nodded and smiled: "Many new actresses think that the sexier and cuter they appear, the better their profile photos will be. This is a wrong idea. Being yourself is the best. You are It should be how it is. These classifications are not only about appearance, but also about personality, so that we can develop better. "
"Do you know why some people are amazing when they first act in a movie?" Stella tapped the classification list in her hand, "It's all because of this! They act with their true colors and show themselves, which is charming enough. If you It won¡¯t work if you try to play an elegant and mature person despite being an athletic person.¡±
Julie Zhu? nodded and said: "Generally speaking, an actor's earliest work is his most authentic self. Modi, your appearance can indeed be classified as pitiful."
"So is the character." Stella said.
"Thank you." Modi looked at the classification list in his hand, a little shy.
Safi quickly asked: "Where's me? Where's me?" She didn't take the profile picture here before.
"You." Juliet looked at her, "Your appearance is more"
Stella said for her: "Safi, you don't have a particularly obvious type. This is the worst, a passerby's face. Actors don't have to be the most beautiful, but they have to be memorable." Safi's face He suddenly collapsed: "This is not fair"
"There are so many unfair things." Stella squeezed her plump breasts, "I belong to the sexy and hot type, but this type is actually the hardest to find a good job. They are all B-level movie opportunities."
"Then I choose Chu Chu pitiful?" Modi wanted to save Safi.
"One hundred percent." Stella asked Juliet: "Julie, what format is popular recently?"
Juliet replied: "The style has not changed, it is still a bleeding version with a matte surface."
The bleeding version has no borders and the portrait fills the entire photo. There are also ones with white borders around them, but only at the bottom. Jigsaw photos were popular before, but now the trend is the bleeding version.
There are also three main methods of retouching: glossy surface, matte surface, semi-glossy surface,
The first one will make the photo look sparkling, the second one will have a flat effect, and the third one will be somewhere in between.
"Just take photos of popular ones." Stella said. Juliet said hello and then asked: "Modi, do you want to leave some space in the lower right corner for you to add your name and phone number?" Modi looked at Stella, and she made the decision: "Add it, a new person can't Add waste.¡±
Everyone negotiated for a while and determined what kind of photo effect they wanted to take. Stella almost always said that Moody was neither understanding nor stupid, but she no longer had to worry about being deceived again. The 780 US dollars spent on this photo shoot, 500 of which were lent to her by Stella, otherwise she would really I can't afford it to be so expensive.
Stella said that she could be deceived even if she wanted to. As long as she took him to her illegal photography studio and colluded with him to set the price of the photo shoot at an absurdly high price, then she would owe a sum of money that she should not owe.
This is US$780, 300 yuan for the main body, including indoor and outdoor shooting time of 1.5 hours in total. The photos taken are all yours, and you can choose to use and print them. 440 yuan is a surcharge, 80 yuan to print eight 8x12 or 8x10 photos, four each in color and black and white, 10 yuan each; 50 yuan plus a full-body photo; 50 yuan plus two digital copies, 25 yuan each; the remaining 300 Yuan was doing hair, makeup and choosing clothes. There were 3 looks, each costing 100. She chose the charming, traditional and conservative and sweet and sunny.
After everything was settled and the money was paid, Moody started to do the styling. There was a professional stylist Fidel in the photography studio, and Stella and Juliet were also there to give guidance.
Wearing light makeup, long shawl hair that is combed to the side of the forehead, and wearing a loose knitted white sweater long-sleeved jacket that highlights her type, it is woven with a classic and simple rice ear pattern.
After finishing the styling, we started taking indoor photos. Mody stood in front of the photography backdrop, with several photography lights shining on her. Juliet and her assistant Esther were operating the camera, while Stella and Safi looked on. All of this made Mody very embarrassed.
She rarely took photos since she was a child, and even less so after her mother left home. The ones she took most were photos for the school¡¯s annual roster. Now facing such a scene, she can¡¯t help but feel shy.
Click, click
"Very good." Juliet couldn't help but praise, and clicked the camera on the tripod. Shyness was not all Moody's. The light melancholy between her brows and the pure blue eyes evoked not only affection, but also a sense of love. peaceful.
¡°God¡¡± Stella is really jealous. Moody¡¯s appearance is so good, but she doesn¡¯t know what her acting ability is.
Safi was in an even worse mood. Although she was very confident in herself, the comparison was too unfair.
¡¡
After the photos were taken, the proofs would not be available until Friday. Fortunately, there were two digital versions for emergency use.
Yesterday, Moody worked as a part-time waiter at the Sweet Courtyard Restaurant. With her high school dropout education, she is less than 17 years old, and she is new here. She really can¡¯t find a better job for the time being.
This afternoon to evening is the first time Moody goes to work. She is used to doing housework and farm work at home, so the waiter job is not difficult for her. The most difficult thing is talking with customers, which makes her introverted not very adaptable. After half a day, even though it was not during the busy dinner time, she received a tip of 73 yuan!
Stella said that because you are young and fresh, you won¡¯t have so much in a few days. Think about Julia Robb again.Ci's salary is 25 million, so you don't think that 73 yuan is anything.
In career, you can¡¯t just wait for opportunities to come, you have to create opportunities yourself.
Stella¡¯s next goal for Moody and Safili is to sign an agent. Although having an agent does not mean success, having an agent is better than not having one. You will appear more professional, casting directors will take it more seriously, and maybe the agent will find you a job one day.
If you want to sign an agent, the first step is of course to find one.
Generally speaking of brokerage companies, caa. It seems that there is only one agency in the entertainment industry: CAA, or the four major companies: WME, ICM, and UTA.
In fact, there are so many agencies in the United States. Many big stars are clients of unknown small or medium-sized companies. Maybe they have been before they became famous, or they may have joined after they became famous. For example, Emma Watson is a special-artists-agency. (a client of saa), kristen stewart is a client of the-gersh-agency (tga).
How many brokerage companies are there? Not to mention those companies that have not been certified by the 4a Federation, because those are basically all scammers.
All legal companies can be found on the official websites of trade unions and associations, and it has nothing to do with whether you are a member of a certain organization. Even if you are not a member of SAG, you can still contact SAG for consultation and complaints.
You can also buy a copy of the "Roth Report", a monthly magazine that lists the latest list of all union-recognized brokerage firms in the United States in each issue.
There are more than 400 brokerage companies approved by SAG and AFTRA in Los Angeles alone, and they can all survive. There are large companies like CAA with hundreds of agents, medium-sized companies like TGA with half a hundred agents, small companies with more than ten or twenty people, and micro companies with one or two agents. Most are small and micro companies.
The four major agencies are like the six major studios, and the other companies are like independent film studios.
Survival is not easy, but no one in this industry can monopolize or hide, because this has already happened with the "de-Haviland-decision" in the 1940s, Olivia de Havi Lan won the lawsuit against Warner Bros., terminated his long-term contract and regained his freedom, which permanently changed the cooperative relationship between actors and film producers, causing the golden age of Hollywood to gradually die, passing by Old Hollywood and then New Hollywood.
Today, film contracts are signed one by one, and clients can legally fire agents at any time.
More than 400 brokerage companies, ranging from the first letter a to the first letter z, almond-talent-agency, bloc-talent-agency, central-artists, defining-artists
??In terms of age, there are all-ages, some focusing on teenagers, children, adults, and the elderly; in terms of occupation, there are even more.
zanuck-agency, Chael's business operations are as follows: a, aub, ani, ath, b, bn, bd, cd, ch, co, dd, da, doc, fe, ho, if, in, int, its, ma, touch, n, nm, oc, oth, pa, pup, rc, rp, sl, sp, sr, srs, tp, tvco, vo, vsa
There is no awd and port yet, what the hell are these? Even senior industry professionals will not understand everything without looking at a comparison table.
a is actors, aub is audiobooks, ani is animation, ath is athletes, awd is artists-w/disableds vo It's voiceover, vsa is juggling and stunts (vaity/specialtyacts).
As the saying goes, everyone has an agent.
Anyway, the agent doesn¡¯t need to pay you to sign you, but you have to split the money with him when you find a job. Why not?
Stella signed a cameron-talent, and her relationship with James Cameron is like the relationship between LeBron James and James Cameron. It only has five brokers. A small company is better than a small company. Few customers sometimes mean more opportunities. The key is the broker's own ability.
Her manager, Bertha Haider, has average abilities and she is ready to fire him.
This time I¡¯m just calling to ask. Two freshmen want to sign with an agent. Are you interested in meeting? If Bertha agrees, the two rookies can get acquainted and meet their agent.
"Are they all new girls? What type?" Bertha asked on the other end of the phone.
"One is pitiful and pitiful, the otheris sweet and sunny."
"I'm sorry, our company already has enough of these two types of customers."
"Bessa, the poor Chu Chu is very good. Really, she is very beautiful and looks like a star."
"You can send all their electronic resumes to my email address. I wish you good luck." Bertha finally said.
In the living room of the old apartment, Safi and Moody watched nervously as Stella walked back from the balcony. Her face looked a little dark in the night.??
Safi couldn't help but asked: "How is it? How is it?" Stella spread her hands: "She said 'good luck to you'." Safi exclaimed in surprise: "Is she willing to see us?" Stella He rolled his eyes at her: "Wish you good luck means disappear from me, I don't want to see you!"
"Oh no" Safi leaned on the back of the sofa, and Moody couldn't help but sigh.
"You really need to learn these code words. Agents will never reject actors directly. They know that the actor they reject today may become a superstar tomorrow. They will find many reasons, why don't you fit in with our company's agency image?" Why am I too busy with all the clients I have recently? Why do you look so much like one of their clients?¡±
Stella suddenly laughed as she said this, remembering an interesting thing, "But sometimes it may be true. One time an agent rejected me because he said I looked like another of his clients. I got really angry and said no. Maybe. Then he showed me the picture of that person, and it was me!¡±
She exclaimed: "They are exactly the same as twins, more similar than the Olsen sisters. I called my parents and asked them, and they said they really didn't mess around, although I don't really believe it."
"Is it a good thing or a bad thing to look like a celebrity?" Safi asked, "I have always felt that I look a lot like Anne Hathaway."
"Pull you down." Stella made a disdainful sound and sat down on the second sofa. "Besides, it's not a good thing to look like Hathaway. It's only good to look like a dead star. Like James Franco." Safi Screaming: "He is so hot!" Stella continued: "I think he is gay and must have an affair with Seth Rogen."
Safi retorted loudly: "He is not gay, and he is not dead."
Moody was speechless. She looked at Stella and Safi with her light blue eyes, not quite sure what they were talking about
"I think it's not wrong to be gay. He is gay. I didn't say he was dead." Stella rolled her eyes, and Safi yelled, "Even if he is gay, Seth Rogen is not worthy of him." Della said directly: "I mean, he looks very much like James Dean, and they are both called James. What a coincidence."
"James Dean!" Safi thought, "It really looks like that."
Stella remembered another case, "Rona Maitra! Do you know her? She and Kate Beckinsale look exactly the same. I bet Len Wiseman can't tell them apart! But Maitra What a pathetic person. Beckinsale took away her opportunity and her man first. By the way, Evangeline Lilly is quite like them both.¡±
At this time, Safi glanced at Modi, who was silent, "Does Modi look like anyone?" Stella looked at Modi, "I don't know, I didn't think of anyone."
¡¡
"I wish you good luck". Submitting electronic resumes will only be a waste of time, but you still need to submit, and you must submit in large numbers.
¡°All actors have been rejected by agents, including Tom Hanks. There is nothing to feel bad about being rejected. If you invest a lot, there will always be someone interested, if you interview a lot, there will always be an agent signed up. Just like finding a job, the secret is to have a long enough list and of course find a company that has a good reputation and is suitable for you.
The first thing is to prepare your resume. You have the electronic version of your profile picture. What about the rest?
Don¡¯t write your age. Education level?
"What to write? Didn't you graduate from high school? Summit High School in Logan, Utah? What is that? You thought it was Trinity High School? Harvard-Westlake? Don't write it!"
?Performing experience? No. There was nothing to play in any theater in my hometown in the countryside. Fortunately, this aspect can be fabricated, but it can't be too much. Don't let people know it's fake at a glance. It just needs to be of a decent level.
Training experience? No. Acting is all taught by my mother and I learned it myself. It would be better not to mention it than to mention it. If I don't mention it, others will not be able to remember it.
? Other experiences? No. The farthest I've been to Logan City before was that there wasn't even a performance summer camp, so I just came here to eat and die. Fortunately, you can also make it up.
"What special talents do you have?"
"¡¡for example?"
"For example, singing and dancing? What sports are you good at? What other languages ??do you know? What accent do you speak? What fields are you familiar with?"
"Does farm work count? I know how to midwife a cow. But I don't I am familiar with Mormonism. I am a Mormon. Does this count?"
"You're a Mormon!? Oh my God So you're going to marry another woman to the same man?"
"No! That's a misunderstanding. Mormonism has long abolished polygamy. We are not like that."
"Okay, but of course you can't write, midwife a cow? Can it be related to acting? Every letter on this resume must be related to acting. It's OK to write in irrelevant information."It's annoying. No one cares if you can deliver a cow or a sheep. No one cares until you play the role of a cow. "
"Ohthen I didn't"
I was busy that night on the 9th. With Stella's help, Mody still couldn't write anything valuable or impressive on her resume. Even if I made up some information, like the huge rock that once was in Logan City He plays puppets at the amusement park to entertain tourists, and says he's good at skiingbut he's still blank.
Although Stella did not do well on her own, she was a veteran after all. She made a list of first-term brokerage companies for the two of them, all of which were located in Santa Monica and were most likely to sign them. She distributed two electronic resumes that night. go out.
Facts have proved that Safi is mediocre in appearance and her resume information is far better than Mody's. However, at noon the next day, Tuesday the 10th, an assistant from the "House of Representatives" called Moody, ask her to meet at the company in the afternoon!
This is also a small company, imdbpro information, 7 brokers, 363 customers. For a newcomer like Modi, it is no different than caa!
Suddenly, there was a tense atmosphere in the Sweet Courtyard Restaurant!
"Modi, remember, remember, remember, a good impression is the most important! Perform well and the more professional you are, the higher your chances of success! God I have so many things to teach you." - Didn't finish reading?
