Chapter 8 7. Flow into the dryer
The Institute requires us to try our best to participate in other students' filming work every year, and to try every kind of work involved in the film and television production process as much as possible. If you are a sound engineer and your director needs to be very crisp You have to wring a whole bunch of stuff into the mic, celery, turnips, innocent passers-by's necks to get that "huh" anyway That's it.If you are a plumber and the director needs a frog with long eyelashes to wear lipstick on, you should start shopping at the cosmetics store and ask the lady at the counter which brand of glue will stick false eyelashes to the frog's wet eyelids.And what color lipstick is suitable for the frog's big mouth.
However, the film institute does not require us to participate in the acting part, because too many people in Los Angeles have star dreams and are willing to act for free. Let alone the drama department next door to our film department, there are a lot of people who can do somersaults and jump through hoops. The good-looking men and women who discharge when they want to discharge, fart when they want to fart, they look forward to being able to act in any movie if they have the opportunity. As long as they act, they will have a chance to be seen and climb up step by step.All over Los Angeles, there are actors waiting to make their mark.
For example, if you are looking for an actor to play a prostitute, and you fancy a lady serving plates in a restaurant, in other cities, if you ask her if she wants to be a prostitute, she will probably slap you.But in LA, if you ask her if she's interested in being a prostitute in an unpaid student film, she'll immediately come up with a beautifully printed resume with four pictures of her in various styles on the front, so you can Seeing her play a wide range of ways, one of the photos may be a crazy housewife with wild hair and a kitchen knife, another may be a female bandit with a cigarette and a whip, and another may be a sad nun with tears in her eyes. Why are these three photos so noisy? Anyway, there must be one left, and it is usually the most prominent one. It is a fatal jade photo of this young lady showing her beautiful figure.
Don't think that only handsome men and women dream of being a star. Even a bad old man with a belly as big as a pregnant woman, a middle-aged man who is so short that he only needs to buy a child ticket to get on the bus, or even a plain old black dog may all have one or two unique skills that make him They become indispensable characters and get the chance to perform.The old man with a big belly may sing the extinct Russian folk songs, the short man may walk on his hands on his head, and the old black dog may saliva in a particularly alarming amount, which is suitable for playing the hell guard dog who is about to retire. There are so many people who want to act in Los Angeles. If you want to find someone who has nothing to do with acting in Los Angeles, it is easier to find an Eskimo. Our film studio does not require us to act.However, as soon as I started school, I played seven roles in a row. Unfortunately, the seven roles I got have nothing to do with my appearance, acting skills, and cultural accomplishment. I got these seven characters entirely because I am the most convenient to use, and my body type is the most suitable for the needs of the plot——
The classmate who asked me to act was Bill Reiss, who only wore leather jackets and pants, and all the spike-like accessories on weekdays. He was number one in a small underground circle, because he planned a weekend in Los Angeles The activity is to invite people who are interested in "destruction" to use discarded machinery or old electrical appliances at hand to convert them into weapons. Fix a bottle of flammable alcohol in front of the hair dryer and add a lighter to become something like a "flame-breathing monster in a hair salon". Then he finds an open space on weekend nights, lights a few campfires, and finds an unknown heavy metal rock band Put on grimaces and scream at the scene. As for the content of the event, people from all walks of life send the monsters they put together into the field, whether they are manual or electric. Anyway, they fight each other fiercely. If you can burn it, you can burn it, if you can fall it, you can fall it, and the carnival is over. Reiss regularly filmed this event, accompanied by a wrestling match-style narration, and sold it to some small channels that specialize in violent programs, which was quite profitable.Once, Rui Sixing hurriedly played his "Weekend Hellfire" documentary segment for me to watch. The first two minutes were quite bluffing. I saw figures scurrying around in the night and flames everywhere. After watching for a long time, it would be boring. The toaster continuously launches iron slices of toast to attack the vacuum cleaner, and the massage chair vertically lands and crushes the juicer, just like the nightmare that the home appliance industry will have when the performance is not good.
