Chapter 136 Casting, casting is too tiring!(1/2)
Huang Zongzhan is definitely a natural person when Chinese people mention Hollywood. He is also the first group of people to win respect and succeed in Hollywood. Not many of them are there, and his cousin is also known as the "Chinese goddess" and the famous Chinese movie star Huang Liushuang who has won countless praises for Chinese people.
Huang Zongzhan was born in a typical Chinese style in 1899. His father wanted him to inherit his father's business, but he liked to play with machines. When he grew up, he loved cameras especially. Later, he relied on his own intelligence and hard work to learn. Later, Cisil's crew recruited people and he also signed up to participate. When Dimil, who was sitting on a chair, saw Huang Zongzhan funnyly holding a huge cigar in his arms, he laughed so much that he laughed. When he was happy, he asked him to join the crew. When he joined the crew, he started to do odd jobs and became an assistant to the photographer, but soon he was appreciated by Dimil.
There are many reasons why Huang Zongzhan liked Dimil, the most important thing is that he was very smart. For example, once filming, Dimil wanted to shoot a close-up of a canary smacking her lips in a cage. The entire crew spent a lot of effort and could not let the canary twitch her mouth. In the end, Huang Zongzhan thought of a good idea. He stuffed a piece of chewing gum into the canary's mouth. When he got fucked by this, the bird was very uncomfortable, so he kept opening his mouth and adding it with his tongue. In this way, Dimil successfully completed the shooting.
In this way, Huang Zongzhan started from the bottom of the crew, the fourth photographer, the third photographer, and the last photographer, and gradually became famous for his filming. His lenses were gentle and smooth, and every movement and every push and pull, and the beauty was fully displayed. Later, he became a popular photographer favored by many directors. In 1955, he won the Best Photography Award at the Academy Awards for "Rose Tattoo". In 1963, he won the Best Photography Award for ++ times and was famous for his popularity.
In Hollywood, not to mention Chinese, there are only a few American photographers who can get the best photography twice in their lifetime. Because of this, Huang Zongzhan has become the pride of Chinese filmmakers.
Of course, I remember this kind of person very clearly.
However, he has not been on the Dimil crew for a long time now. Judging from Dimil's attitude towards him, he has not received enough attention from Dimil, otherwise he would not be just a fourth photographer now.
"Dimil, I borrowed him!" I pointed at Huang Zongzhan and said to Dimil with a smile.
When Marskolov, who was next to me, was relieved to see that I had chosen such a poor-looking person and was the fourth photographer.
"Andre, you really know how to choose," Dimil smiled.
I don't know whether to praise me or harm me in this tone.
"No problem, no problem. What kind of friendship is ours? Aren't we just a photographer? Just borrow it." Marskolov suddenly became generous and looked like he was lying in his arms.
"Old Ma, James Ma was stunned for a moment.
Lao Ma pointed at me and looked proudly in the bed: "You are not here to poach people, take a look, the fox is coming with his tail exposed?!"
Dimil next to him also laughed.
Huang Zongzhan stood beside him but was extremely nervous. He heard something more or less from the conversation between the three of us. You must know that the three of us will determine his fate, so the little man almost raised his ears and listened attentively.
"Andre, if you promise me two things, I can transfer this person to you, how about it?" Marskolov whispered to me.
"You said, you said." I can't ask for such a treasure. Not to mention two, even twenty, I agree.
"First, don't your third factory have a batch of props from the Civil War period? You can rent them to us for free until our movie is finished."
"make a deal."
If you rent out those props, you can earn 20,000 or 30,000 US dollars. It’s worth it to exchange for such a little money for a golden photographer!
"What about the next one?" I asked.
Old Ma roared his teeth and suddenly shouted at me: "The second is that don't run to my set in the future, don't dig me in a corner!"
Looking at Lao Ma's appearance of smoke, I covered my stomach and wiped my tears and said with a smile: "Okay, I won't have your invitation in the future, I promise not to dig your corner!"
"Get out! Get out! Who invites you to poach!" Marskolov wanted to kick me but didn't kick me, and waved to Huang Zongzhan panting: "That, that person, come here."
Seeing Marskolov unable to even call Huang Zongzhan's name, I was so happy to see Huang Zongzhan running over.
It is said that people should become famous as soon as possible, but I firmly oppose it. If they become famous just one month old, where can I go to poach people?
"Do you know who he is?" Marskolov pointed at me and said to Huang Zongzhan.
"I know, Andre;
"Yes! You said it very well!" Marskolov said seriously: "He is Andrey Lyon, one of the few genius directors in Hollywood, and he is also a complete rogue and rogue. You should remember today. Because today, this genius director super rogue has attracted your talent and invited you to be his photographer. So from today on, you will be a DreamWorks person. Go there and pay your salary, and then follow Ke.
Go back to birth.”
I was next to me, and when I heard Marskolov "praise" me like this, my teeth almost burst into laughter.
Only then did Huang Zongzhan understand what was going on, so he bowed to Marskolov excitedly, and then ran towards a house.
"Andre, I forgot to ask you just now, you came here to borrow a photographer. Are you going to make a new movie again?" Marskolov asked with his arms around my shoulder.
I nodded: "Yes, what's the script just decided."
"No! So fast!? Do you still let us live like this one after another?!"
"You haven't lost enough to me just now!? Compared to you, I'm having a small fight."
"Let me reveal whether there will be any conflict with our scene. You are now walking around with a sickle and pointing at the god of death. I dare not collide with you like that unlucky British guy." Marskolov looked at me flatteringly.
"How could there be a conflict?! I'm stupid!? Your movie is a Ford, and my carriage with at most three wheels. Isn't it a joke to collide with you?! I want to leave more money to buy milk powder for my child."
"That's good, that's good." Marskolov finally felt relieved.
After talking to Marskolov for a while, he saw Huang Zongzhan walking from a distance with a simple salute.
He walked into the crew and said goodbye to everyone familiar with him. He was neither humble nor arrogant, and respected Dimil in particular. Then he came to me and bowed deeply to Marskolov.
"Mr. Marskolov, thank you very much for your care and care." Although he is a Chinese, Huang Zongzhan's every move is humble and reasonable, which is only Chinese. I kept nodding and praising him.
Marskolov said some polite words to Huang Zongzhan and then handed him over to me.
On the way back, Huang Zongzhan sat in front of the car without saying a word. It could be seen that he was still a little nervous.
"James, haha, I'd better call you Zong Zhan. There is also a James Zong Zhan in the company. You have always been the fourth photographer under Dimil's men?" I asked.
Huang Zongzhan turned around quickly and said to me respectfully: "I used to do some miscellaneous work. I was the fourth photographer last year, but I have rarely filmed the scenes, not just following Mr. Dimil. I have also filmed several scenes in Strauheng's "The Romantic Widow", but it has not been a few minutes in total."
I nodded, and as expected, this fourth photographer is a character who often has to sit on the bench.
"Then how long have you signed with MGM?"
"Mr. Corleon, no, boss, MGM and I have never signed a contract." Huang Zongzhan shook his head and said.
"I'm a bitch and I've been tricked by this guy Marskolov! I'll give him a bonus!" I cursed.
"What's wrong?" Huang Zong saw that my face looked ugly and hurriedly said.
"It's okay, it's okay, it has nothing to do with you. I'm scolding Marskolov." I waved my hand.
Everyone was silent for a while. When I saw that he was a dull man, I thought it was quite fun, so I said to him in Chinese: "Zongzan, I will sign a contract with you when I return to the company. From now on, you will be a member of our DreamWorks."
"Boss, you can speak Chinese!" Huang Zongzhan was surprised when he heard my "Mandarin".
"What's wrong, do you feel kind?" I smiled.
This kid showed a bright smile in front of me for the first time, and kept nodding: "I have lived in Chinatown since I was a child, and I can hear everyone speak Mandarin all day long, but I didn't expect you to speak so well by boss."
Damn, no matter how you say it, it’s just an old profession, how can you not say it well!
"Haha, I've learned it for a long time." I smiled.
It's not short, more than twenty years.
Because of language, we suddenly found a common topic, talking about Chinatown, China's history and culture, and finally talking about movies. This little man suddenly changed from the silly gourd to a machine gun, and the atmosphere in the car suddenly became warm.
"Boss, can I touch the machine in the company?" Huang Zongzhan asked me with some concern.
"What does it mean?" I was stunned by him. Could the photographer go fishing if he didn't touch the machine?
Huang Zongzhan said a little aggrievedly: "That's right. At MGM, I rarely touch the machine. Generally, the first photographer takes a photo. If he has something to do or is sick, the second photographer will be on top of it, and so on. So I can't touch the machine normally, except when the filming is cleaned up."
I felt a little sad when I heard him say so pitifully.
Yes, four photographers on a machine will have to wait until the three people in front of him are sick or have something to do, and the probability is probably not much greater than that of sesame seeds falling on the pins.
"Don't worry, the company will make movies in a while, and you will definitely be able to make movies." I comforted him.
"Really?! Which photographer am I the first one?!" Huang Zongzhan's face turned red with excitement, and he stretched over half of his body.
Looking at his anxious look, I laughed: "Our DreamWorks is different from their MGM. Although we have the first photographer, it is basically just an honorary title. When filming, everyone is equal."
"In other words, I can use the camera for the whole drama?!" Huang Zongzhan seemed to not believe in his ears.
"Yes, just use your skills." I smiled.
Huang Zongzhan was excited ahead along the way
I shook my mouth and muttered and didn't know what to say. When I arrived at the man I, I called the fat man over and asked him to settle Huang Zongzhan, and then took him to get familiar with the new machine.
After explaining this, I walked upstairs and threw myself on the sofa. As soon as I breathed evenly, Griffith and Dunar walked in.
"Have you got all the job advertisements out?" I asked.
"It's made out, published in the newspaper, and will be posted tomorrow morning. Several radio stations are already broadcasting now." Griffith sat opposite, his forehead covered in sweat.
"Boss, it seems that there is another person in our company, a pretty small one." Dunar asked me.
"It was the photographer I dug from MGM." I replied lazily.
"Is that little man OK?" Dunar was a little worried.
"Okay! Why can't it be! I think people can do it, it's okay if they don't!" I rolled my eyes.
The next afternoon, a long queue was lined up at the entrance of DreamWorks, all of whom were applying for the job. Although the advertisement was logged out in the morning and the radio was only broadcast for one day, the long queue in front of the door surprised me a little.
"Why are there so many people?" As soon as I came out of the office, I was a little stunned.
"Yes, this scene reminds me of the scene when I was filming "Lust and Caution" and selected actors, haha." James beside him smiled.
"Yes, at that time we were like these people, hugging in the crowd and anxiously hoping to be selected." Howard, Tim and Valent recalled the scene when they came to call.
There were several long tables in the yard as usual. I sat down and flipped through the character list, which were densely packed with dozens of characters.
Although there are many characters, some people have very few roles, so there are only a dozen important characters, and some of the characters in the middle are decided.
As a Scottish nobleman and admired Wallace in the movie, he later took over his will and led the people to continue to oppose the rule of England and gain independence. The playmate of Robert Wallace, who had a red-haired and rude personality, played by Hebixward, the first supporting actress Wallace's wife was cut by an Englishman and died of death. The Prince of England, the cowardly Edward, played by Tim, the heroine of the movie, Princess Isabel played by Gabor, and Catherine played her maid. In addition, Robert
Among the main characters, those who need casting include the first supporting actor in the movie, Edward, the King of England, Robert, the Scottish nobleman, the old Campbell who was equally brave and good at fighting the final glorious sacrifice, Philippe, and other small characters. In addition, there is also the protagonist of this movie - Williams.
