Early that morning, Gu He was in the small tatami room of the apartment, and was woken up by Sakai Kao, who was sleeping in the large tatami room outside.
Her excitement, apprehension and restlessness never stopped from the apartment to the alleys and then to the main road of Juhui Street. The closer she got to the set, the more nervous she became. She was about to shoot and she had to talk to Chiba.
-Gibson is starring opposite.
Gu He was not going to the fish pond today. Miss Caiyin approved the leave. He followed Sakai Huaqing and walked on the lively street.
Seeing her like this, he really wanted to give her a copy of "Self-cultivation as an Actor", but he couldn't get the 60 pages in his mind.
"Ms. Sakai, have you ever studied acting theory or anything like that? Where did you learn to be an actor?"
"I have never studied. Those professional courses are very expensive. I just watch TV and watch movies... imitate and practice..."
"That means there is no systematic theoretical study."
"I have read a few books... But in general, I have not read any books, and I am relatively late in literacy. I am just a street rat... but I am good at repairing guitars! He has never been to school, but he knows how to create, and he also gets
It’s a prize, I told you right?”
"I said it, I know. When I was in the wilderness, I met many strange people, including Granny Ajin, and an old man named Lao Ski who knew a little bit about acting. He told me some of his acting theories. I
Let me tell you."
Gu He held the thermos cup and quietly opened the 60 pages of "Actor's Self-cultivation" in the console database in his mind.
While watching, he read to the expectant Sakai Kao:
"The actor's recollections of his own life will from time to time distract his internal attention from the life of the character on stage. So within the circle of internal attention, there is a struggle between correct attention and wrong attention, attention that is beneficial to the character and attention that is harmful.
The battle for attention goes on..."
"Uh-huh." Sakai Kao listened carefully and attentively as he walked, thinking as he listened.
However, the more she listened, the more confused she became. Occasionally, a flash of inspiration seemed to flash through her, but she could not grasp it and found it difficult to sort out and understand.
"He Sang, wait... don't say it yet..." Sakai Huaqing interrupted distressedly, "The more you talk about this now, the more confused I am."
"Okay." Gu He shut up at the right time. Fortunately, the Cowherd's value did not decrease.
He really hoped that Miss Sakai could understand every sentence and be taught like a goose.
But I don’t know if she really lacks some acting talent, or if "Actor's Self-cultivation" is too deep for her. After all, this book is a diary, and the words contain various concepts of the Stern acting system, which is endless.
It's hard to understand.
The two of them walked on Shouhui Street for nearly half an hour. From a distance, they saw crowds of people and extreme hustle and bustle on the road ahead.
Surrounded by various neon signs on both sides of the street, outside the old bar "Diva's Den", which has existed for a long time, it has three floors inside and three floors outside, and the old street lamp poles on the roadside are about to be crushed.
Some vehicles and personnel from the film crew have already arrived. The workers from the mechanical team are laying tracks and setting up camera supports. The camera team, lighting team, and scenery team are also busy, forming a set on the street.
But this is not a studio area, this is Kabukicho. If you want to shoot scenes, you have to be prepared. The street dogs will not be obedient and obedient, so the cordon and security personnel set up are almost completely useless.
A team of uniformed police officers from the Metropolitan Police Department maintained order and blew whistles from time to time, but the sound was very low.
Among the crowds at both ends of the street, most people came to join in the fun and watch the big stars. Anyway, they had nothing to do, and they came all the time.
There were also Chiba Gibson fan club members, holding posters and dazzling signs of their idol, waiting for their idol's arrival.
There were groups of street children running around, trying to get some lunch boxes and some valuable items along the way.
There are a large group of young girls dressed in fancy clothes trying their best to flaunt themselves, hoping that they will be noticed by some talent scout, agent or director. What is the dream of being a celebrity? One day they are just stray dogs, the next day they become big stars and become famous overnight.
.
There was a girl from the low-income family in tattered clothes, walking around the crowd, shouting loudly:
"Boycott Chiba Gibson, her movies make us lose our anger! The so-called commercial movies are junk information that makes the poor addicted to the illusory world and fills our heads so that we have no intention to complain."
These street dogs can't be chased away. Although "Speed 2" is a project of Santo Entertainment, the crew still doesn't have the ability. If they chase them too hard, they will be kicked out by the people of Juhui Street.
What's more, the crew also needs to recruit some passers-by as supporting actors.
At this time, when Gu He and Sakai Huaqing squeezed into the crowd, they saw another familiar tall figure, it was Boxer.
Boxer was less than ten steps away, standing by a streetlight, swaying his blond hair, playing a metal guitar, and loudly singing an original song: "You said the most important thing in a performance is devotion, then I'm going to piss you off."
It’s also performing art…”
"Ms. Sakai, let's just... let him go." Gu He said, "Anyway, he can't hear us saying hello."
"Yeah." Sakai Kao nodded repeatedly.
The two of them agreed, pretending they didn't know Boxer, and continued to push forward.
"Ms. Sakai, will there be supernatural forces involved in the filming of this movie?" Gu He asked again.
"No, this is an ordinary movie that will be shown in cinemas and shot on film. However, Miss Chiba should be an extraordinary actress. I think she is definitely in overdrive. She is great."
Sakai Hanaqing and Gu He squeezed through the crowd, but were stopped by uniformed policemen and refused to enter, but she knew the person.
When she saw someone with her sharp eyes, she shouted at the top of her lungs: "Mr. Goodman!"
On the road before, Gu He heard her say that she had an agent, Mr. Goodman.
He didn't expect that an actor of Miss Sakai's level would have an agent. But there is, a big-name independent agent. He has a lot of actors under his command, none of whom are famous, and there are so many that he can't even remember who they are.
This kind of agent usually doesn't have many network resources, and relies on a few small connections to arrange auditions for small roles to make ends meet.
Goodman is a middle-aged fat man who is as tall as a boxer. He wears a small brown coat, a white T-shirt, military green knee-length shorts, an almost square face, a well-kept short haircut and a beard, and wears a
A pair of sunglasses with clear lenses.
Sakai Kao specifically mentioned that Mr. Goodman is gay and has a very sensitive and delicate heart. You should be careful not to hurt him when you talk to him, but in fact he is very good, just like his name, Goodman.
"Let her in." Goodman hurried over and urged several police officers, "She is a cast member!"
"Mr. Goodman, this is Gu He, he wants to play a part-time role." Sakai Kao said quickly.
Goodman took a brief look at Gu He, who was wearing a sportswear with big Chinese characters and casual pants, and urged:
"In the past, in the past, if you wanted to have lunch, just stay in the supporting area. Don't walk around in the way, and definitely don't disturb others in the starring lounge area. This is a studio, not a celebrity meeting, do you understand? Sakai, you too,
Otherwise I will even kick you out."
Kasei Sakai immediately responded timidly, and was thinking about whether he could chat with Miss Chiba for a few words, but it seemed that there was no chance.
The two of them had just squeezed into the street area belonging to the studio, leaving the noise of the crowd behind.
There was a stage manager who asked Kasei Sakai to go to the styling car to change into costumes and put on makeup. After all, she was a small role actor who had lines and a camera, which was on a different level than a background actor like Gu He.
She has to be busy with styling, and she also has to listen to the assistant director and their audition arrangements.
"That Hesang, I'm going over there, you should be careful and take care of yourself." Sakai Huaqing confessed and hurried away.
"Hurry and stay in the walk-on area!" Goodman pointed in the direction and stared at Gu He as he walked into a small area enclosed by an iron fence at the corner of the street. There was a large group of people crowded inside, either squatting or standing.
Chatting in twos and threes and waiting.
Gu He observed as he walked in. There were many Yakuza, members of the Game Gang, and even a few homeless people inside.
Suddenly, he saw another acquaintance, "Old dog? You are here too."
The old dog Jackson attracts attention wherever he goes, with his camouflage twin ponytails, pink hollow T-shirt on his hairy chest, miniskirt on his thick thighs, and when he sees him, he stands up and squeezes over happily.
"Dad! I got the news about Sakai last night, so I came over in the middle of the night to guard him, just to get a good position. But the casting director saw me and thought I was very unique, so he wanted me to be a part-timer."
Gu He nodded silently, it was definitely unique, and it also highlighted the style of Liuguang City that advocates individuality.
"Now let's wait for Miss Chiba to come, and wait for the rain. If it doesn't rain, what is Kabukicho called Kabukicho?"
The old dog said again, calling Gu He to squeeze into a better position.
About half an hour later, Miss Chiba Gibson arrived earlier than the rain. A luxury production car carrying her slowly drove up the street. The crowded crowd suddenly burst into joy, and people from all walks of life danced.
And shouted:
"Miss Chiba!" "I love you!" "I like your movies so much!"
Gu He drank the wolfberry water and looked at the scene that became frenzied. He felt that it was no different from the previous world, maybe a little more crazy and outrageous. The team of uniformed policemen could no longer hold on anymore, and the streets were about to get out of control.
At the same time, the boxer over there continued to sing loudly, and his rough singing almost drowned out the excitement of the entire audience:
"You said that the most important thing in performing is devotion, so when I pee, I am also performing art.
"You said that the performance should rush into the depths of imagination, and the toilet in my house flushes very fast.
"You say you are a star, but I think your role as your mother is the most uncontrollable!"
