The knowledge of film casting is very deep, not only the unspoken underground doorways, but also the logic and coordination of appearance and acting skills, the audience's perspective, the pay, the popularity and topicality of the actors, and so on.

The protagonist candidate is naturally the top priority. It is the basis and skeleton of all other castings. It is impossible to use a black man as the male lead but choose a Latino to play her biological mother. For youth films, it is impossible to make the figure look good. Any female lead role will be out of the picture, so the sooner you decide on the protagonist, the better, especially the protagonist with complicated relationships in the play.

"APLUS, is this okay?"

As the untouchable male protagonist, Song Ya went to Universal Studios at the appointed time to take makeup photos there.

"Yes." He glanced at the crumpled gray-green jacket in the dresser's hand, which was the same as the male lead in the script and the original movie, and nodded in agreement.According to the setting, the male protagonist is from a poor family in the black area, and the clothes must be in line with the family income. Only under the premise of satisfying the sense of reality can he advertise his products by the way. For example, the T-shirt under the jacket is the product of A+ clothing.

Amperin Entertainment’s accounting management is very professional. This kind of soft advertising is also required to pay. Of course, they only charge a symbolic price for the main investor’s industry, and most of the expenditure of A+ apparel is to provide free costumes for the protagonists and supporting actors.In addition to the clothes, they also received Yamaha’s musical instrument sponsorship and Jansport’s schoolbag sponsorship. The amount was not large, and there was nothing else. This shows that most advertisers are not optimistic about the movie, otherwise they will get a lot of money back just by selling the mirror ads. cost.

In addition, consumer electronics such as mobile phones and laptops used by actors in the original movie rarely appear in student groups in this era, which is a great pity.

As for the fluorescent party, the lawsuit in New York is still going on. Amperin Entertainment and Universal don’t want to ask for trouble, and the production of Barn Company is already at full capacity, so Song Ya hasn’t insisted on selling it.

After getting dressed and walking to the small studio with plenty of light, Song Ya began to pose with a facial expression of the male protagonist.

"Hold your head up, yes, that's it, keep it up." The male photographer kept pressing the shutter, "Okay, let's change the position, you have to be like this..."

He approached and demonstrated in person, for example, opening the thumb and forefinger is brighter than smiling at the chin, putting his hands in the pockets to be cool, holding his hands in front of his chest, etc., "This way... keep changing the posture, our efficiency will be much faster ."

"Like a model?" Song Ya asked.

"You are now my model APLUS."

"Ok."

Song Ya kept switching POSE, and then changed into a suit when the photographer was satisfied. It took two or three hours to finish the work.

"Does everyone want to shoot?" Song Ya changed back to her clothes and took the gold watch and gold chain that Taraji had helped put on.

"Yes, the main role, other people do not have to work so hard as the male and female lead." The photographer replied: "When the female lead is selected, you have to take a pair of makeup photos for us. There are various promotional photos during the filming. , Studio photos, documentary short films..."

"It sounds very cumbersome." Song Ya said.

"This is just the beginning." The photographer counted the film and smiled: "You should have been used to APLUS, haven't you? Just ignore us who are always around."

Indeed, the number of channels is similar to that of record announcements, and the workload is much larger.

"Catherine." He and Taraji went to the casting venue rented from Universal. It was actually a larger rehearsal room with wooden floors for dancing, a long table, and only a folding chair in front of the long table. A tripod and machine for photography.The third round of auditions for the heroine just ended, and he met Catherine, the president of Amperin Entertainment, again, "How was the result?"

"Watch it for yourself." Catherine handed Song Ya, which was reduced to ten or less resumes. "Do you want to watch the casting video? Let's watch and talk."

"Ok.

Amy was placed first, "Hi, everyone, my name is Amy Adams..." From the beginning of the video, Amy appeared from the door, showing her iconic smile, slightly flattering.

"It's a sweet smile." Catherine looked at her face on the screen and said: "Maybe she is indeed suitable for Hollywood. In other movies, she will have a good chance to play the sweet girl of the American lower class."

In another hint, Song Ya did not respond.

"Come in, you got the audition dance moves, right?" the casting director asked.

"Yes, Ms. Fletcher gave it to me, and she also gave some guidance, thank you very much, hi." She greeted Anne Fletcher to get a relationship.

"Then start, don't waste time." Annie Fletcher said.

"Ok."

She immediately took off her coat in a hurry. Inside was a ballet suit. The thin and some figure was very attractive. When the accompaniment sounded, she posed, her head nodded nervously to the beat, and then began to dance at the beginning of the paragraph. Standing on pointed toes like a deer, he immediately raised his legs...

I can see that the movements are in place, but the expressiveness is indeed a bit worse. It is better than what they said before, such as aerobics. The sense of strength is very lacking. Of course, it can also be said that the jump is light enough. The master's setting is not consistent. After all, the heroine is a modern dancer who uses more ballet elements.

Catherine glanced at Song Ya, "Very progressing, isn't it?" Song Ya pretended to be stupid.

None of the people present spoke.

"Okay, here is a dialogue in the play." In the video, someone handed her a piece of paper.

"No one can get this line in advance." The casting director said to Song Ya.

Song Ya nodded and kept watching.

"Mom, I no longer have a partner, my performance is over! Are you satisfied?"

This is the heroine in the play venting her emotions to her mother who insists on going to college after losing her dance partner. It is considered the most test of the heroine's acting skills in the play.After Amy finished reading, she first read the words for a while, and then started to brew emotions and read the lines under the urging of people.

The heroine shouldn’t be so arrogant in front of her mother. Amy is obviously overkill. She always holds her head slightly, trying to make a proud but implied anger effect, but under her sweet and lovely face, even if her eyes are staring The boss is still not convincing.

"It's like a little girl acting like a baby." The casting director said.

Song Ya had nothing to say, "Look at other people."

"Hey, my name is Jennifer Lopez." A beautiful woman with a Latin face appeared in front of the camera. The first dance performed very well, and the sense of power of modern dance was very well reflected.

"This is the best body ratio, and the dance is also the best one." The casting director said.

"It's Janet Jackson's dancer, she also introduced it herself." Yeremov reminded.

"It looks a bit like my Latino servant." Song Ya said disgustingly.

Everyone stopped talking, but fortunately, the girl's acting skills were not as good as Amy's, and she acted like a South American giant soap opera in a scene.

"Hey, Catherine, hey..." The next actress seems to be older, but she is beautiful and dances very well.

"Julianna Marguerite, we found out in the audition of the story crew in the emergency room, and practiced dancing for many years." Catherine said.

"She is the one with the best acting skills." The casting director added. Sure enough, the emotions in the performance part were very precise by her, that feeling of helplessness with accusations...

"It looks a bit like my lawyer." It was indeed a bit like Alicia, Peter Flock's wife. Song Ya asked, "How old is she?"

"Born in 1966," the casting director replied.

Song Ya pouted, still showing his attitude clearly.
