MTL - Best Actor-Chapter 6 a chance

"Hey, what the hell, what am I doing? Now is not the time to think about this, I still have my own things to think about!" Sean suddenly knocked on his head, letting his thoughts return to On track.

What now? quit? Although I didn't see Frederick's expression, I guess he won't be too happy, and the agent also wants to make money. But he was a little unwilling to quit like this. Sean didn't like being a deserter. Although he was an extra to solve the current predicament, and then saved some money and took time to plan for the future, he did a good job, didn't he?

But as he insists, once something is decided to do, it must be done as well as possible. Since the extras have done a good job, and after observing on the set during this period of time, he believes that if there is a chance, his performance will never be worse than that of the regular actors, so why should he quit?

It's better to wait. Shawn, scratching Pork's chin, thought so. Frederick may not have spoken, but he may have exaggerated, and he will do anything for an opportunity, which is too…

He thought well, but reality soon taught him a lesson.

"It's a pity, if you can get this role, maybe you can become an instant hit. You know, many stars are popular through youth idols..." As usual, during filming In his spare time, Koeman chattered about everything he knew about Hollywood.

If it were any other time, Sean would have spoken to him no matter what, but at this moment, he was really in no mood.

It has been four days since the last audition, and he has received confirmation from his agent that Randy Keitel has been selected for the leading role by Target Films' "Breakfast". Frederick is said to have said that David Thewlis, who was in charge of casting, had privately expressed his regrets to him, and Sean was noncommittal about that, but... Randy Keitel should have gone to that party.

Although it was expected, Sean was still a little uncomfortable hearing this news.

"It doesn't matter, there will be a chance." He said this, as if answering to Coman, but also for himself.

"Don't say it so easily, Sean," Koeman sighed, and then thought of something to complain, "Well, you have a good agent, of course you don't care, but My one... If only I could audition for 'Boom,' I'd definitely get a role."

"Even if you want to blow the trumpet to the producer?" Sean couldn't help but ask.

"As long as you can get a significant role, it's a big deal to blow the trumpet." Koeman didn't care.

Sean was stunned at first, then frowned, but before he spoke, one of the assistant directors, a man in his thirties who was almost 5 feet 8 inches, came to them: " Hey, the director told you to come over."

The director wants us to come? Although a little surprised and puzzled, Sean and the excited Koman walked over to the camera together with each other.

"Sean? Coman? Very well, let me see... Turn around, you come to Sean first." The director didn't say a word, and immediately directed them.

Sean turned around twice as he said, posed a few more poses, and then Coleman did the same, and the director immediately discussed with a few people next to him in a low voice.

It didn't take long, just a few minutes, after Koeman was so excited that he could not help himself, they finally finished the discussion.

"Okay, it's you, Sean, we need a tall and straight restaurant waiter temporarily, he and the hero have two lines, I think you are very suitable, any questions?" The director was very direct.

"Um... no, sir." Sean was stunned, then agreed.

"Mr. Director, what about me?" Coman next to him asked hurriedly.

"Sorry, Coman, I will consider you next time I have a chance." The director dismissed him with a word.

An apologetic look.

The plot to be shot is not complicated. The couple as one of the protagonists are dining in the restaurant, and the husband who likes to tell bad jokes makes a mess. The director and producer probably thought that if a waiter had a little tit-for-tat with him, it might have a better comedic effect, so he added such a paragraph.

Because it was an impromptu idea, and there were not many roles, so I randomly selected one of the extras, and Sean was lucky to be selected.

This is not difficult for Sean, he is a regular extra in this sitcom called "Home Improvement", and he is still clear about the characters of several protagonists, and this role It's not difficult in itself.

"How about pan-fried veal with grilled lobster, creamy chicken soup, salad with cheese and mushrooms, and a side of pepper ice cream?" He held the menu, standing upright, but chin The high-pitched, cadenced and rapid tone fully demonstrated the impatience that the waiter had hidden in his heart.

"Congratulations." When he finished work, Coman said this, it was quite uncomfortable, and his face was not very good-looking.

"Don't be discouraged, Coman, there will definitely be a chance." Sean had no choice but to comfort him.

Only, the director came over again at this time: "Hey Sean, we are going to add some scenes in the restaurant, you have performed well before, so this role is temporarily reserved, you better prepare , come to the studio early tomorrow."

Sean was stunned again, and agreed again: "No problem, sir."

If the previous character with lines made him a little happy, then now he is really excited, what did that guy Frederick say? You don't need those tricks, you can still win the opportunity yourself!

Thinking of this, he couldn't help turning his head to look at Coman. Contrary to what he imagined, Coman looked calm at this time.

"Congratulations, Sean." The other party said so.

"Thank you, Koeman, it's such a surprise." Sean couldn't help laughing, then patted his arm, "You will definitely have a chance, Koeman , I believe in this, you have put in so much effort, you will definitely gain something."

Paused for a while, probably feeling that he was a little too empty, and he added: "Although this is a bit arrogant, if there are characters with lines, I will definitely tell them to the producers. I recommend you."

"Don't be so troublesome, as long as you can't act, I can take over." Coman said this as if joking.

Sean laughed, completely ignoring it.

"Okay, it's over, how about going for a drink in the evening?" Koeman said again.

"You need to know..." Sean wanted to remind him that he was not yet 18 and couldn't drink in public.

"Come on, Sean, it's not difficult, you managed to get a role, shouldn't you celebrate? Come on, don't be a mother-in-law." Coman waved his hands nonchalantly.

"Okay." Sean thought for a while, and finally agreed, "I'll go when the night's work is done, how about it?"

"You're still going to the studio of 'High School'? You already have a role, man." Coleman looked surprised, "They have so many extras, no Care if we go."

"I don't want to be held accountable by the crew over there, even if the possibility is very small," Sean said with a smile, "Remember what I told you? Everything must be done. The best to come."

Do things down-to-earth, Sean has always insisted on this, not to mention only a small role. Therefore, even if he took a small step, he would not get carried away, and what he should do is still to do.

Of course, overtime pay is also a reason. As I said before, the pay for overtime is 1.5 times the usual salary. Although he has solved his life problems by surprise, he has not yet saved much. As Sean, who was a Chinese in his previous life, the idea of ​​saving a little at all times is basically engraved in the depths of his soul, so he will take time out from time to time to go. Some film crews acted as extras.

The TV drama crew is relatively stable, especially in 1998, the major TV stations are still mainly melodrama, any kind of scene can be built in the studio, so it generally does not appear In the case of overtime, unless there are special circumstances, it is generally punctual to commute to get off work. Because of this, extras who serve as backgrounds are basically long-term, changing clothes or putting on different makeup in different scenes.

A sort of.

The film was completed four months ago, but in the post-production, director Robert Rodriguez thought something was wrong, and after communicating with the producer, he called up some of the Actors reshot some shots. But the problem is that the schedule of the movie has been arranged, it will be at the end of this year, so I am in a hurry, so I work overtime to shoot.

This movie is a sci-fi movie, to the effect that a small town has been invaded by aliens, and the school teachers are the first to suffer, but are eventually wiped out by a group of high school students with drugs.

It sounds a bit nonsense, but Americans like to watch this type of movie. As long as the director can control the plot and the actors can play well, no one will worry about no one entering the theater.

Shawn watched a lot of movies in his past life and this life. Well, going to the movies is one of the most important recreational activities for Americans, and it is also a great place for a date. It’s a pity that I have forgotten all the movies I’ve seen in my previous life, and I want to find it in my memory with sufficient stimulation, such as last year’s sensational “Titanic”, and I didn’t study screenwriting in my previous life, otherwise I would write a few scripts. Making money is also good.

The content of the supplementary shooting is basically that after the heroine is controlled by aliens, she chases the hero to catch and control him, and at the same time, there are a group of American football team members to help. The scene was simple, set it up for night in the studio, then park a few school buses, and the extras just put on their jerseys and run back and forth, very simple.
