Chapter 10 Getting Ready to Shoot (Part 1)
Chapter 10 Preparing for shooting (Part 1)
The female staff member was surprised by Xia Shang's humorous words. Her beautiful big eyes stared at him in surprise and said in surprise: "Are you a director? It's really incredible."
Before I knew it, the female staff member's tone of calling Xia Shang could not help but change.
Looking at the female staff member whose mouth was opened in the shape of O-shaped, Xia Shang couldn't help but raise his eyebrows lightly and asked undeniably: "What, don't I look like?"
"No, no, it's just that you are too young." Hearing Xia Shang's rebellious question, the female staff member quickly explained to herself. In order to hide the surprise in her eyes, she looked at Angelina who was standing beside her and praised, "And your girlfriend is very beautiful."
When Xia Shang heard the female staff's incoherent words, he did not make things difficult for her. On the contrary, saying that Angelina was her girlfriend made him happy. Although she did not talk to her this time, it could satisfy Xia Shang's vanity. Perhaps she had such a sexy girlfriend, which was also good. Xia Shang, who had her own little thoughts, did not procrastinate on this issue. As for Angelina standing next to Xia Shang, she might also disdain to pay attention to the female staff's words, so she did not refute.
The reaction between the two was seen by the female staff, and she became accustomed to the fact that she looked at them secretly, and couldn't help but envy Angelina's sexy and beautifulness, and was also surprised that Xia Shang could win such a beautiful woman.
In addition to selecting two supporting actors this afternoon, Xia Shang also had some things to do, so after getting to know each other with the female staff, he went straight to the topic and said: "If I want to choose the actors myself, can you provide their information?"
When the female staff heard Xia Shang talking about work, she immediately returned to her previous serious appearance. She smiled sweetly and said proudly: "Of course, as long as the other party has registered with us, we can provide you with information, but are you sure you want to choose it yourself?"
Seeing the female staff's most surprised look, Xia Shang was a little confused. Although the film "Blair Witch" does not have high requirements for acting skills, Xia Shang is not invited by any actor. First of all, this role is all students in the film, so the image required the selected actors should not be too high. More importantly, Xia Shang's capital is not enough to invite every actor. Facing the female staff's inquiry, Xia Shang nodded without hesitation and explained his requirements.
"Okay, I wish you good luck, sir." After seeing that Xia Shang had made up his mind, the female staff member said helplessly. At the same time, when she left, she did not forget to say a blessing to Xia Shang, which made Xia Shang feel a little puzzled.
It was not until the female staff member's back disappeared that Xia Shang touched his nose, turned to look at Angelina standing beside him, and asked, "Anji, do you know what her last sentence means?"
After hearing Xia Shang's words, Angelina couldn't help but give Xia Shang a look, meaning that she finally found that I was still by your side for so long. However, she did not directly answer Xia Shang's question, but found a seat to sit down, gently stroked her hair, and smiled politely: "Hehe, I think you will know soon. Good luck, my dear."
When Xia Shang heard what Angelina said, she couldn't help but turn her eyes off, but after just a moment, Xia Shang understood the meaning of the female staff member and Angelina.
The actors' union's introduction to registering here and registering actors is very simple, including names, photos, and some brief introductions, such as graduation school, films they have appeared in, what are their specialties, height, weight, etc. Basically, one piece of A4 paper for an actor is enough.
But when the female staff came out again, there was a thick stack of registered actor information in her arms. According to Xia Shang's estimate, there were probably at least a few hundred or thousands of these actors.
After seeing this situation, Xia Shang couldn't help but smile bitterly, and then he realized that this was the Actors Union. How many people in the United States who want to become actors register here? The total number will be tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands. If this number is not strictly counted, even the staff of the Actors Union will not know.
"Hehe!" After seeing Xia Shang's frowning look, both Angelina sitting next to Xia Shang and the female staff member of the Actors Union chuckled.
Xia Shang didn't know that ordinary directors would not look for actors here, unless it was a special situation, or someone like Xia Shang who wanted to shoot movies independently, even so, they would ask the actors they selected to the actors, and then the actors would recommend actors. How could they find actors by themselves like Xia Shang?
Since the female staff had already done it according to his requirements, Xia Shang had to take the top stack and start to search patiently. At the same time, Xia Shang also secretly prayed in his heart, hoping that he could find an actor who suited him as soon as possible.
In fact, most of the people who register actors in the Actors' Union use stage names. Since they are stage names, they may use their real names, or they may not. In short, these actor information have everything, such as Elizabeth, Audrey, Malone, Mary... They just lost interest when Xia Shang saw their strange portraits and brief introductions summarized in one sentence.
Perhaps many of these people are to satisfy their vanity. Some of them are students who have not graduated from major film and television academies or have graduated. They are really dedicated to being actors, and there are not many people who are famous in the end. Xia Shang quickly flipped through it and found that there are not many familiar names. Leonardo DiCaprio is the one who remembers more deeply. However, at this moment, the future starring actor of "Titanic", should have gradually revealed traces.
Natalie Portman, the beautiful actor who starred in "This Killer Not Too Cold" and caused a huge response. However, she is only 14 years old this year, and... Even in these information files, Xia Shang saw the information of Angelina Jolie, a sexy beauty around him, which surprised him.
After a long time, Xia Shang finally gave up on searching. This was not something that could be accomplished in a short while. Although he had a lot of time, he just didn't want to do unnecessary waste. After putting these materials aside, he turned his attention to the female staff of the Actors Union. It was not until this time that Xia Shang discovered that she and Angelina had completely spoken. The two were chatting and laughing, and kept chuckling, leaving him alone here and doing such boring things.
After seeing this situation, Xia Shang was really jealous of the leisure of the two. Suddenly he interrupted the conversation and asked the female staff: "Do you have registered actors called Joshuwa Leonard and Michelle C. Williams here?"
Joshua and Michelle are both original actors of the film "Blair the Witch". Joshua is quite famous. In Xia Shang's memory, in addition to acting in 1 and 2 of "Blair the Witch", he also has some more famous works, such as "The Stupid", "The Confrontation of Life and Death", "Late Achievement", etc. Later, he even played the role of director; as for Michelle himself, Xia Shang is not familiar with it, and it seems that there are no works except "Blair the Witch".
Xia Shang, who had no choice but to try his luck and tell the names of these two people. Since the film "Blair the Witch" was originally performed by them, although Xia Shang has advanced the filming of this film by two years, it should not be a big problem for the two.
The female staff member who was having a happy chat with Angelina was stunned when she heard Xia Shang’s question. She didn’t know what he was looking for since he had a choice and was still looking for. Thinking of this, she looked at Xia Shang with some curiosity, but still replied: "I don’t know the specifics, I need to check it out to tell you."
Xia Shang heard the female staff member's words, pondered for a while, and agreed to her statement, and said, "Okay, please trouble you."
Regarding Xia Shang's polite words, the female staff waved her hand directly at him and signaled that this was what she should do.
Perhaps Xia Shang was lucky, or perhaps it was because of the halo of the protagonist of Xia Shang. It didn’t take long for the female staff to bring good news to Xia Shang. Both of them registered here and also had their own contact information. However, the information shows that both of them were the kind of people who had just registered an actor and had no experience in acting.
Until now, Xia Shang finally heard a pretty good news. As for whether the female staff said later, it doesn't matter whether they have any acting experience. After all, the pseudo-documentary "The Witch Blair" does not attach much importance to the actors' performance skills. As long as the two are not the kind of people who know nothing about performance, Xia Shangyong will not need them in the end, and they will have to wait until the two meet before they decide.
"Okay, we can help you contact you, but you agreed to meet when you will meet." After hearing Xia Shang's request, the female staff member did not say anything, but asked Xia Shang when he wanted to meet with the other party.
"If possible, then now." Xia Shang pondered for a moment and replied.
(Please recommend and collect it. By the way, Heiye will ask you weakly. Can that brother be the cover? Heiye thanks you brothers first.)
