"You're learning from Escoub's performance in Boys on the Block, right?" Anne Fletcher asked before leaving.
"Yes."
The original male protagonist is a person with a dull speech and behavior and a bit of a language barrier. This character is indeed similar to Eskub's male partner in the boy on the block, "Uh...you are...what, what do you mean?" Song Ya With a straight face, his upper body leaned back slightly, and he learned a line with the black accent and stuttering tone of the original male lead.
"Not bad." Anne Fletcher laughed: "The male lead is indeed not difficult to act, but the female lead is different. I heard that Amy Adams and Taraji are practicing with Halle Berry's acting teacher? "
"Yes." Song Ya nodded: "She worked very hard."
"Aplus is useless no matter how hard you work in the wrong direction." Anne Fletcher looked around and lowered her voice, "Most people in the crew don't like her, but it's not for her personally, but purely for work considerations. A large part of this is due to factors From doubts about her performance, Charlize Theron, who auditioned for the WanttoWantMe MV last time, found an acting teacher who is much more suitable for Amy than the current one, and the improvement is obvious."
"Uh, what do you say?" Song Ya asked.
"Halley's acting skills are very mature. What suits her is not necessarily suitable for Amy, let alone this youth musical." Anne Fletcher said: "Charlize Theron's acting teacher is also Brad Pitt Yes, you can just ask around in Hollywood."
"Thank you, Anne, this information may be very important to Amy." She said that these 'anti-Amy' groups who had obviously betrayed the creators of the crew were secretly showing favor to herself, "I wrote it down." Song Ya expressed her acknowledgment Let her love you.
"No, let's talk again." Taraji walked over, and Anne Fletcher stepped away decisively.
"So, what's the next arrangement?" He felt a lot more relaxed now that the omnipotent assistant was with him again.
"You're going to stay at the hotel tonight, and the paparazzi are already watching you." Taraji looked nervous: "By the way, how will the drive be today?"
"Uh... Generally speaking, I ruled out Tyra Banks and didn't encounter much resistance, but Common's competitors are very strong, and Amy's situation is even less optimistic..."
Song Ya briefly introduced what happened at the meeting, "By the way, help me find out who Brad Pitt's acting teacher is?"
"Okay." Taraji smiled when he heard that his hidden dangers were eliminated, recorded them one by one in his notebook, and began to report the schedule, "Eskub invites you to a party at his house tomorrow night, the day after tomorrow, Donovan I'll come and take you to a party at Redstone's house, dress up..."
"You have nothing to do during the day tomorrow, right? Make an appointment with Brad Pitt's acting teacher, and I'll take you and Amy to visit."
Most of the men and women who come to Hollywood are non-major students who come to Los Angeles with dreams, so there are a lot of acting teachers here, and there are advertisements for short-term classes, evening classes, weekend classes, etc. To lure boys and girls to the San Fernando Valley. Therefore, in Hollywood, where the professional division of labor is already very detailed, the industry of acting teachers is very mixed, with different qualities and chaotic fees. Some people have their own crew work and performance studio, some rent a small classroom and dare to post small advertisements to start classes, and some only concentrate on serving a few stars.
So except for Xue Linfen's acting teacher Roy London who has been famous for a long time or has a background in universities such as Southern California, others can only rely on word of mouth from practitioners. Reintroduce people to your actor friends, and that sort of thing.
Brad Pitt's acting teacher is a white woman, Ivana Chubbock, in her thirties, with a good temperament. Brad Pitt rose to fame after her performances in the hit films Thelma and Louise and Riverside, along with her brother Lyndon Chubbock, also an up-and-coming director.
"Hello.
"Taraji was very efficient, and Song Ya and others saw her the next day.
Ivana Chubbock is now in the most critical period of career growth. She rented a small studio in downtown Los Angeles. She has just transformed from an acting teacher who only serves stars to an acting studio that charges for classes. The place is not big, Song After Ya and others passed by, her small office was almost full.
"APLUS, nice to meet you." There are a lot of things that can explain the resume on the wall of her office, the dialogue director of a certain crew, the script consultant, etc., and the poster of Brad Pitt's love on the river is placed In the most conspicuous place, "Hey, Halle." She hugged Halle Berry again.
"Is he filming Geffen Pictures' Interview with the Vampire?" Song Ya chose to start the topic from Brad Pitt.
"Yes, Mr. Geffen and director Neil Jordan are very demanding, so Brad will come and study roles with me as soon as he is free." Ivana Chubbock replied, "So, I heard that you are going to star Have you encountered problems in the performance of the musical film you invested in?"
"Yes, uh, mainly Amy, her performance is still far from the heroine role. And Taraji, the second female..." Song Ya introduced the two females to her.
"So this is not a course to lay the foundations from scratch, but a short-term assault training for a specific role, right?" Ivana Chubbock is knowledgeable, and she grasped the point immediately.
"This is the script, part of it." Song Ya asked Taraji to give her the script, "There is not much time, and Anne Fletcher introduced us."
"Don't you ask about the fee first?" Ivana Chubbock took over the script and flipped through it.
"On, make a price, I can afford it." Song Ya spread her hands.
Ivana Chubbock glanced at Amy and laughed, "I heard that you can earn a plus, hey, Amy? You are that Fergie's best friend, right?"
"Uh, yes." Amy was also laughing at first, but her expression darkened immediately when she heard this. It's no secret that Hollywood has already figured out her identity.
"It's okay, this is your role, right? Try this part first."
Under the silver bullet offensive, she quickly entered the working state, marked the first scene of the heroine's first appearance on the script, and handed it back to Amy.
Amy glanced at Song Ya timidly. After receiving positive and encouraging eyes, she stood up and just grinned, "Wait." Ivana stopped, "Why are you smiling like that?"
"What?"
"Such a smile, this smile."
"Oh, it was suggested by my stylist. She said I look best when I smile like this." Amy's smile is very characteristic. In order to make up for the small defects of her face, she will open her lower lip a little wider to make her smile sweeter .
"But this is not in line with the heroine's personality, right? Pursing your lips, raising your head, no, slightly, lower, lower, sad, happy, seeing your favorite food, and then finding your puppy dead It's..."
Ivana tried a few times casually, "It's not good at all, you can't even express simple emotions accurately, and you are not qualified to play a soap opera." She said: "This character is a dancer, right? You are like practicing dancing. , Decompose the facial movements, like dancing. Let’s do it again. You drive, look at the road, and find that there is a car accident in front of you. A man is lying on the ground. You hesitate for three seconds, and then choose to get out of the car to save it. He's just sleeping on the ground..."
"On the road?" Amy's facial expression changed according to the prompt, and the effect was a mess.
"Don't worry about the rationality, just show it." Ivana continued flipping through the script, "Huh? I seem to have read these paragraphs from a certain student."
It was the segment given to auditioning actresses, and it goes without saying that Charlize Theron must have shown it to her.
"Can you help me in a short time?" Song Ya didn't answer the question.
"Yes, I can train her in a targeted manner, which I am very good at." Ivana replied: "Of course, it depends on personal talent."
"I believe you, Amy, you and Taraji stay here..." Song Ya gestured to Taraji to count the money, "Bring back the bill at night."
"Uh, APLUS, what about you? Don't you need to learn?" Ivana asked strangely.
"I'm very busy, I'll talk about it in a few days." Song Ya stood up, "And the difficulty of my role performance is very low."
"Wait, let me try, you drive."
Song Ya sat down, raised her hands, held them in the air, and made a movement of controlling the steering wheel.
"Turn left."
Song Ya'pressed' the turn signal, his eyes moved, and the steering wheel turned to the left.
"There's a siren going off behind you, telling you to stop."
"Oh! Fxxk!" Song Ya glanced at the rearview mirror, cursed angrily, then stepped on the brakes, slowly turned the steering wheel to 'pull over', and finally pulled on the handbrake.
"The ones who came down were not police officers, but robbers in disguise."
"Damn it!" Song Ya roared, released the handbrake, stepped on the accelerator, turned the steering wheel desperately, and looked back in fear from time to time.
"You hit someone."
"..."
Song Ya glanced ahead calmly, then imitated the forward movement of the vehicle, stared at the hit target on the 'ground' and kept moving back, and returned to the normal operation of driving after a few seconds.
"You hit someone and you chose to escape?" Amy questioned.
"I'm still being chased by robbers!" Song Ya shrugged and replied confidently.
