I didn't take Ashley with me today. After that guy got the manuscript of "Twilight 2", he stayed up all night again and is still lying in bed.
The car I drove was Zhuang Ling's business car, which was not cheap at all. It cost more than 300,000 US dollars, which was more than 2 million dollars when converted into Chinese currency.
Xia Yu has never been to Zhuang Ling's mansion in Beverly Hills so far. And this car, according to Ashley -
This was just the most inconspicuous car in Zhuang Ling's garage. Xia Yu felt more and more that she was extremely poor.
Fortunately, Xia Yu is not the kind who likes to compare, otherwise she wouldn't even know whether she should go see the car after hearing these words.
If she wants to buy one, she estimates that she can only buy a mobility scooter that costs less than 100,000 dollars.
However, when it comes to buying a car, we still have to wait until the company officially gets on track.
…
A group of three people came to this old apartment.
Dirty?
In fact, it’s pretty much the same description.
But Brian's den is completely different and clean - a young man who loves cleanliness and music must have a good character?
One room and one living room, less than 40 square meters. Most of the living room area is occupied by his musical instruments. The walls of the room are covered with manuscripts one after another, marked with dates, with various contents, including words and phrases.
song.
a lot of.
It basically fills the room.
But even so, not only does it not look messy, but it has a different "artistic conception".
The only thing missing is the young man’s cry and warning against this disappointing world in the past eight years.
It's sad.
Xia Yu smiled, "Is this your wonderful little world?"
"Yes." Brian returned home, his whole spirit seemed to be relaxed.
This is undoubtedly a place that makes him feel at ease.
When I finally finished sorting out the important items, it was already seven or eight o'clock in the evening.
That night, Brian did not go to the company dormitory after all. There was a hint of nostalgia on his handsome face. "I think I need to spend one night saying goodbye to this little nest. These eight years - it has accompanied me through it all."
I have gone through too many difficulties.”
"It should be." Xia Yu nodded.
I had dinner at Brian's house. The open kitchen was very clean and had three simple dishes.
This time Xia Yu didn't do anything, Brian cooked and entertained himself. When the delicious food was brought to a small dining table that could barely fit three people, he said: "You are the first batch of people in this small nest in eight years."
The guests should also be the last batch."
A nostalgic child.
When he left, Xia Yu didn't help move anything. With so many things, he had to find a moving company to move them.
When Zhuang Ling sent Xia Yu back to the bankrupt sister building, it was already past nine in the evening, and there were two or three security guards on duty——
Xia Yu searched for a long time before he saw Daniel who was seriously inspecting the equipment department building. Seeing his diligent appearance, Xia Yu couldn't help but smile. But when the little guy saw Xia Yu, he ran away.
Come over and giggle.
"How is the new dormitory? Is it packed? Have all the luggage been moved here?"
If Brian lives in an apartment for the elderly, it is called an "urban village" in Chinese terms.
So, where Daniel lives is an "old and broken boy" in a village in the city.
Worse and messier.
There is no way, sometimes for "Wu Diao", having a place to live is very good.
Although it is said that after joining various labor unions, the salary will be relatively stable and guaranteed with a lower limit, but no one knows how many scenes will be filmed——
Therefore, more people will choose to have a stable job first and then talk about dreams like Daniel. This is reality.
Speaking of the new dormitory, the smile on Daniel's face became even brighter, "Well, I don't have much luggage, so I moved it all in one go. The new dormitory is really great. I have always dreamed of having a separate bathroom and kitchen!"
"Your new roommate is a very sensitive big boy. From now on, I have to trouble you to take care of him. Is that okay?"
Daniel patted his strong chest, held his head high and said, "Leave it to me!"
Xia Yu chatted with him for a few minutes, and before finally leaving, he said with a smile:
"Tomorrow, take your resume to the conference room on the second floor and start work at 8:30. Don't be late."
Hearing Xia Yu's words, Daniel was stunned for a moment. He really didn't understand. He had a look of confusion on his face, "What?"
"Da", Xia Yu snapped his fingers handsomely, then pointed at the big boy in front of him, then pointed at the Bankrupt Sisters Building, and said:
"Tomorrow - audition, okay?"
Daniel immediately opened his eyes, opened his mouth slightly, and blinked. A series of actions were both exaggerated and made people feel that this kid was sincere. He put his hand on his chest and said tremblingly, "The boss is saying, audition?!"
The corridor of the equipment building was brightly lit. Xia Yu tilted his head and looked at him with a smile, "If you don't have this intention, just pretend that I didn't say it?"
"No, no, no! I have it, I have this intention!"
Daniel was so excited that he stretched out his hand and was about to hug Xia Yu to express his excitement and gratitude. However, he stopped abruptly in the middle and stopped his hand "suddenly". He looked at the person in front of him. Although he was slender, he was probably only half the size of him.
He stopped talking to Xia Yu.
Xia Yu is almost as tall as him, only about the height of a thumb, but his aura is a bit higher than him.
When Daniel was about to meet Xia Yu, the smile in her eyes was like a basin of cold water, extinguishing the out-of-control flames - then he remembered that this was his boss, and at the same time she was still
A mysterious girl from the East.
People in that country seem to be more elegant? Conservative? The most important thing is that she is the boss!
Daniel retracted his hand, scratched his head and said with a smile: "I'm sorry, I seem...well, I'm really excited - you know this feeling, just like in middle school, when a girl you like confessed your love, so excited, just
For example, when I was sixteen years old, the first time I was with a girl—well, I seemed to have lost my temper!"
"I'm sorry, I can't imagine if the force I pulled you into my arms would have hurt you - I lost control of my emotions. I've been waiting for this opportunity for too long!"
Daniel scratched his head and smiled. As he spoke, he hugged his head with both hands, and his eye circles became red, like a helpless and frightened red panda. The emotions in his eyes also made people laugh.
Xia Yu smiled.
In the words of Chinese netizens - [Clear stupidity in his eyes?] To put it simply, he is stupid and stupid.
Xia Yu shrugged and smiled, "I think I can understand your mood very well. It doesn't matter if you lose control. I think - I can give you a good idea of what 'Chinese Kung Fu' is?"
As Xia Yu spoke, he also made a fisting gesture with a provocative look on his face.
The benefits gained from achieving the third achievement were not given out at once, but were gradually adapted to her body and transformed subtly.
Her vision and other senses are now far superior to those of normal people. If she stares for a moment, Daniel's movements will slow down several times or even ten times——
It's not that time has stopped, but that the visual sensory dynamics have entered another level.
However, Xia Yu usually doesn't use much force, but that doesn't mean that a few big men can subdue her.
Not to mention Daniel, a little showman, he could be knocked to pieces with just one over-the-shoulder throw——
After several conversations, Daniel finally took a deep breath and calmed down, "I will definitely not be late tomorrow!"
Xia Yu smiled and nodded, "The job change will be finalized after negotiating the contract tomorrow. Don't be careless about today's work -"
As Daniel watched him giggle, Xia Yu left the equipment department building and returned to the apartment.
A night of silence.
Early the next morning, [Bankrupt Sisters Film and Television Building] - Who said that the sixth floor cannot be called a film and television building? Who made the rule?
Anyway, Xia Yu has stipulated that everyone has to call it this way, "Joyful".
On the second floor, Raymond and Vivian have been checking in at the company for the past two or three days.
But the business arranged by the company so far is not filming, but letting them be talent scouts.
This left them helpless.
After Xia Yu signed the contract with them, his words were indeed not in vain - they were indeed busy.
Xia Yu had no choice. After paying such a high salary, he couldn't just let these two people drink tea and play cards in the company, right?
Eight hours a day, how great would it be to go out for a walk, experience life, and wander around Hollywood?
In addition, Zhuang Ling, as a professor of the Directing Department of the Film School, did not do anything and arranged tasks.
Let them watch a third-rate movie every day, and then write an evaluation of the third-rate movie script and tasks.
When it comes to movies, foreign countries and China, especially in Hollywood, film and television teaching - are completely different, and can even be said to be completely opposite, in terms of teaching philosophies.
Domestic film and television schools have put a lot of effort into training students in film and television aesthetic thinking. Most of the time, they have developed the habit of not watching films that are not classics of film history, and not making movies that are not masterpieces by masters.
(Pull-up: Watch the movie frame by frame, rewind it repeatedly, and interpret the movie in depth. Then, compare the content of each shot, scene scheduling, camera movement, scene, editing, sound, picture, rhythm, performance, and camera position.
Record everything and finally summarize it.)
Good is definitely very good, but bad also has a lot of disadvantages.
Those who go to film and television schools have just graduated from high school, and most of them have average education levels. They cannot deeply understand the profound perspectives of interpreting certain classic movies, and can only absorb some superficial and not so practical skills.
This is why, while students' aesthetic standards in film and television have been greatly improved, they have also subtly developed a certain disdainful attitude towards some ordinary films and many domestic films!
It is precisely this kind of subtle, superior theoretical knowledge that makes them too arrogant. On the contrary, there is a huge lack in the cultivation of basic abilities. What will be the consequences?
A large number of students who are not very talented, with this extremely high aesthetic, or to put it more cynically, with this "master-level" aesthetic brain, cannot shoot anything decent.
in short.
So ambitious.
Everyone wants to be a blockbuster, soar to the sky, win a big award with just one movie, Virgo, etc. - but as soon as they leave school, society will give them a big sinus.
In beautiful countries, film and television production provides a variety of education. On the contrary, you must watch the masterpieces of top directors and the performances of top actors, but in daily teaching in schools, they prefer to use some very ordinary movies.
, performers as teaching examples.
Let students learn the most basic skills through simple camera language, simple body movements, and line performance exercises again and again——
These techniques may seem clumsy in the eyes of famous directors and actors, but the results achieved are simple and practical.
In a sense, the film and television education in beautiful countries is more like spending a lot of energy.
Let students work hard to practice the most basic knowledge, lay a solid foundation, and solidify their skills;
As for China’s film and television education, the purpose from the very beginning seems to be to cultivate a group of film and television celebrities!
Of course, Vivian is a relatively qualified academic actor, so she is more accustomed to it.
Although it has been several years since I graduated, it is relatively easy to pick it up.
On the contrary, it was Raymond. Even though he was studying at a community college, most of them were asked to perform by themselves and cooperate with other students in the community performance school. In the end, the teachers from the community performance school gave them marks and pointed out their shortcomings, and there were no more.
So when he planned this kind of course with an academic nature, he was rather embarrassed——
But he and Vivian have developed the habit of watching a movie and doing homework in the morning——
In the afternoon, he went out to do homework. Xia Yu described it euphemistically as observing people, meeting outstanding talents, and getting to know them.
In fact, isn't he just a talent scout?
But after this teaching, the almost nonexistent resentment in his heart was completely dispelled.
Because the effect is so obvious, after all, he is no longer a new actor. After ten years in the industry, his acting skills are already in place. What he lacks is just the academic knowledge to complete this step.
In just two days, he even had the courage to ask Ashley for a copy of the audition video backup. After these few days of teaching and watching his own audition video, he was able to see his performance flaws at a glance.
He had never thought about taking the film school entrance examination before, but the fee made him take three steps back. In addition, his cultural level was not up to par. He passed the exam twice and failed both times, so he had to go to a community acting school to endure hardships.
This signing was indeed the right one, especially when Raymond found out that Ashley's good friend was actually a professor at the Director's School, one of the two major film schools in Hollywood, he was even more grateful.
When they saw Daniel arriving early in the morning, the two of them were stunned. But with Daniel's thoughts and Ashley's extra care, they had long realized that they might be able to become colleagues in the near future, but they didn't expect it to be so...
That's all soon.
Several people said hello happily.
The main reason is that Daniel's character is very lovable, and the two of them also have a good impression of him.
Working hard at the bottom, Daniel looked at people and dealt with people with a hint of tact, even a few points of breakfast. Moreover, he had the greatest advantage. His smile was not flattering, but kind and sincere. This
