Remember in one second [End of the God Station] Mobile phone user input address: m.xinwanben.com

Roy Lockley and Nathan Press stood side by side on the playground, looking through the glass windows of the classroom, watching the busyness and noise of people coming and going.

The crew of "Transcendence" is not huge, but it is not small. The core part of the staff is about 30 people. In addition to the actors who have no lines, the number of people who reported to the crew on the first day exceeded 70 people. During this time, people have the illusion that the school has never been on vacation, and today the students are back to class again.

In the commotion, Roy's eyes never left Renly. This is the first time he has appeared on the set as Renly's manager; to be precise, this is the first time he has challenged the manager's job and actually entered the shooting scene, which is somewhat familiar, but more unfamiliar. He is groping and learning, trying to adjust to his new identity.

"Is it always like this before filming starts?" Roy asked curiously. "I mean, Renly always does script exercises?"

In the classroom at this moment, Jingwei is clearly divided into two distinct camps, one is the veteran actors who have been in the industry for many years, and the other is the non-professional actors who have no acting experience.

Such a situation is rare in the crew. Even if a large number of newcomers are used, the casting director will still consider the factors of collocation and cooperation when selecting actors. But "detachment" is different. Under Tony's insistence and instruction, all the teachers have chosen senior actors. There are about nine or ten teachers. All the students have chosen non-professionals. People, many of whom are not even actors, are just real residents of the slums, about 30 or so.

The senior actors were familiar with all the procedures of the crew. After arriving at the crew, they greeted them with ease, and then prepared for the next shooting; the amateurs were a little confused. The work of the camera, some people are whispering about the figures they have seen on the big screen or the small screen, some people are standing in the corner and watching the changes.

There was a small group of people around Renly, doing script exercises with him.

This morning, Renly arrived at the scene an hour and a half early, in his words: familiar with his own battlefield. The work "Transcendence" is different from any previous shooting experience. Renly treats it as a Broadway performance stage, and every stage actor is familiar with the stage before they officially take the stage. It is their basic preparation work.

Renly was the first actor to arrive on set, and it took him half an hour to get acquainted with the whole school and the streets next to it, inside and out, and then he picked a random classroom and sat down to read the script. It wasn't long before Betty and Sammy appeared one after another, and they didn't think much of it, just assuming that Renly's place was the green room, and gradually began to gather.

When the reaction came, the "class" division of actors was formed, and Renly was divided into the "amateur" side.

However, this is not what Roy is worried about. In the movie, Renly's main rivalry is the group of amateurs. There are not many matching scenes with professional actors. It is a good thing to be familiar with the situation before the shooting; Roy is worried about the preparation habits of Renly before the shooting. Actors like to relax and simply read the script; some actors crammed and start to memorize their lines at the last moment on the camera; some actors prefer to be quiet and do not want to be disturbed.

At this moment, there were about five or six actors around Renly. They took turns to communicate, play, and ask Renly. There were four or five people watching quietly. The scene was really lively. .

Nathan couldn't help frowning, "No. Before the actual shooting, Renly was used to reading the script by himself. He had to read it over and over again and again, and when necessary, he would also find a director, screenwriter, or opposing actors. , to discuss some details. But there are really very few script exercises."

Roy closed his jaw slightly. As a manager, it was his job to make sure Renly could put his heart and soul into his work and perform in his own way. As an assistant, Nathan's right to speak is very limited. If he goes to the producer or drama manager rashly, he will easily offend people; but as a manager, Roy's identity and status are different. his responsibilities.

Roy was seriously thinking about whether he should ask Tony to give Renly a space to prepare for the shoot alone.

If it is a top star, it is the basic condition to be equipped with an RV. If it is a group of first-line stars, it is normal for the crew to have an RV for the use of several main actors. But Roy is not so greedy now, he just wants to have a corner, so that Renly can calm down and devote himself to the script reading without being disturbed.

Of course, before making a request, he needs to communicate with Renly in person. In the early stage of cooperation, everything is a running-in period, and they need more communication.

The thoughts in his mind were spinning fast, and Roy could not help but start looking forward to the scene in front of him, "Watching Renly perform live... What's it like?"

Although he is an insider, he has a different type of work, and Roy doesn't know much about acting. At the same time, because of the insider, Roy is more aware of how difficult it is to get praise from so many film critics. Today, I can finally watch the scene. Uncontrollably, Roy is also a little excited.

It's been a long time since I felt that, and it was very different from the life of a public broker.

Seeing Roy's eyes gradually brightening, Nathan felt the same way, hehe laughed, "The filming will start soon, can't you see it with your own eyes? Spoiler in advance, this is completely the feeling of the big screen. Different. Personally, I prefer live viewing. Glasses-free 3d.”

Roy was about to respond, and then saw Nathan's expression paused, as if he had seen something, Roy turned his head, followed Nathan's line of sight, and then saw a commotion among the actors in the classroom, the crowd. In the middle, Renly stood up and moved towards the door. Everyone automatically gave way to a passage, and curious, excited, and speculative gazes were projected over.

After Renly left the classroom, all the actors swarmed to the windows and cast their gazes toward the playground. It seems that the preparatory work has been completed, and "detachment" is about to be put into formal shooting. Expectations exploded directly.

Renly could clearly feel the sight falling on him, and the heat was so hot that his clothes were almost on fire. This was the first time he had encountered such a situation. Is it just because of "Fast \u0026 Furious 5"? This doesn't seem to make sense. However, Renly didn't care. The work of acting was originally under the spotlight. Overcoming the tension and jerky under the spotlight, and engrossed in the performance, this is the threshold for getting on the stage.

After leaving the classroom, Renly walked towards the door of the teaching building. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw the familiar faces in the classroom next door. These are veteran actors who are well-known in the industry, including a lot of them. A well-known senior person, you can see Tony's strong connections from here.

Seeing a familiar yet unfamiliar face, Renly smiled and greeted politely, "Lucy, good morning."

Lucy-Liu (Liu/Yu/Ling) paused involuntarily, with question marks all over her head, but nodded hesitantly and replied, "Good morning, Renly."

Chinese actors have always been a disadvantaged group in Hollywood. Although there have been many actors such as Li/Xiao/Long, Cheng/Long, Zhang/Zi/Yi, Chen/Chong, Zun/Long, etc., on the whole, they development is hampered. In American movies, Asian faces are always rigid and conservative stereotypes with strong racial/ethnic/discrimination/discrimination. This situation has not changed slightly until the second decade of the 21st century. Imagine how difficult the situation for Chinese actors is.

Thanks to the injection of strong capital, the development of Korean and Indian actors in Hollywood is actually the best. For example, Hyundai Motor Co., Ltd. vigorously sponsors a certain TV series or movie, and then requires actors to use Koreans. This creates working conditions for many Korean actors and changes the status quo of the industry little by little.

However, the operation of Chinese capital and Hollywood investment has never found a suitable and effective plan, and has not been able to create more favorable conditions for the upward momentum of Chinese actors. It is a pity that many Chinese actors have to play Koreans in dramas. Or Japanese characters.

But in such a difficult situation, Lucy is a special case. As a second-generation immigrant, with her hard work and hard work, Lucy broke through the sky amid discrimination. "Having an Emmy nomination, finally opened the door for a career.

After that, she not only starred in "Charlie's Angels", "Kill Bill", "Kung Fu Panda" and other works, but also later became the heroine of the TV series "Basic Deduction". It is no exaggeration to say that she is one of the most developed Chinese actors in Hollywood.

With his own abilities, Renly knew better than anyone the situation Lucy faced. This time, unexpectedly able to cooperate in "detachment", Renly took the initiative to express his friendship and his respect.

"I hope everything goes well with today's work." Renly nodded, conveying his kindness, but he stopped and continued to move forward.

Lucy stood there, stunned, unable to turn her head around for a while. She has been rolling around in Hollywood for 20 years, which is rare. In the crew, Asian actors will always be the most inconspicuous and underappreciated group, not to mention, in the "detachment" crew, there are quite a few big names.

Her eyes fell on Ren Li's back, and the smile at the corner of Lucy's mouth rose.
