Volume 472 Rating of Actors
The paper information form arrived at the gate of the American Screen Actors Guild in the logistics of the postal express.
The staff responsible for collecting and inspecting the application forms opened the materials sent by the assistants and mailed in from all directions one by one, and after the review was completed, they were filed again in the database of the Actors Association.
It is precisely because of the largest actor database in the United States with such clear regulations, that the Actors Guild of America has a very important weight among a large number of film companies and investment producers.
Movies or TV dramas of all types and grades can use the easiest way to find actors who meet the requirements of their films in their databases. The data collection work of the Actors Association is indispensable.
The employees in the department in charge of data review have been employees for several years, because the work here is not only simple and tedious, but also requires carefulness and patience. Naturally, some female employees can persevere.
There are not many people, about four or five, and they form an independent department, and the working atmosphere is relatively harmonious and relaxed.
"Today's job is here again..."
'Boom! 'A black woman, the strongest among them, opened the box of files, "It's here, let's put it all together, let everyone take a stack"
'Wow' With a few hands and a few chairs approaching, the information in this box was completely divided.
Most of the materials are junior actor applications, which will be uniformly registered in the system, and finally passed by the audit department.
A small part, like Qin Guan, is an upgrade and update based on old materials.
In which big-investment movie did you get an important role, in what kind of program did you increase your popularity, and in which film festival did you win an award.
These are the standards for upgrading the actor's level in the Actors Association. In a set of promotion standards, these employees only need to follow the rules, revise, summarize and then make the final classification. That's their day's work.
"Actor's name: Is Qin Guan a registered actor or not..."
"Oh, this is another actor who needs to change the classification, good luck..."
This kind of data modification that can improve their own social status is something that these actors can meet but cannot ask for.
Actors who have registered with the formal actors' association generally have formal brokerage companies, or come from performing arts schools.
In this way, there are hundreds of thousands of actors on the National Record Online, not to mention those extras who are not qualified to apply for registration.
And among these hundreds of thousands of people, there are very few people who can become popular.
The colleagues next to her heard Martha's words, and moved their heads curiously.
"Where is it? Let's see which star it is, maybe it's our idol..."
"Here, let's see for yourself." This girl named Martha has not stopped verifying the information under her hand, and she is also recalling the original Qin Guan application from the database.
A standard photo of Qin Guan slowly unfolded on the computer screen. This Asian actor can really be called dignified and handsome.
"Oh!! So it's him! Qin Guan! I know him!"
"Isn't this the victim of the fake news in the newspaper two days ago?"
"The latest Cannes Best Actor!"
No wonder, being qualified to revise his resume, such a heavyweight award would naturally increase his net worth a lot.
But after everyone read the applicant's information, the girls who calmed down slowly fell silent.
"The Best Actor in Cannes must be a very talented actor...It's a pity."
"It's a pity that I'm an Asian, and I haven't had any experience in shooting commercial films in the United States..."
"Well, I have seen the elephant that participated in it. The acting skills are very good, but how good can the box office of a literary film be..."
All the girls looked at each other, and returned to their seats feeling a little bored.
The thick stack of documents to be processed in front of him looks so disturbing now.
Only the girl named Martha calmly approved the changes to Qin Guan's application materials, and then pulled out the original paper documents from the database.
"Oh, Martha." A girl who seemed to like Qin Guan asked: "According to industry standards, what level of investment film can this actor named Qin Guan recommend?"
Martha on the opposite side didn't answer immediately. She put the old version of Qin Guan's archives in the waste file box to be processed, and checked it quietly on the computer.
In just two minutes, Martha said, "Qin Guan's level is C-level..."
"What?"
"impossible!"
"This is too low..." Some girls who love beauty are a little bit aggrieved. You must know that Qin Guan has come before the attention of many people with a series of endorsements and news of a national nature.
"There's nothing impossible about it." Martha said calmly, and she didn't let go of her work.
"We are the actors' union here, and everything is based on popularity and achievements. Before that, he did not have a single work, and his only experience was in China."
"Naturally, it is in the D-level or even low-level files. Although he has won an actor now, has he played any important role in the A-type movies of large film companies?"
"No!"
"Has he starred in any of the independent, commercially-funded films that have made a significant box office hit?"
"No!"
"Since he hasn't been tested by the market at all, and doesn't have the attention of the general public, let alone the test of top commercial films, what's wrong with him being classified as C?"
"What's more, not to mention that Hollywood and the United States are a country where commercial films are paramount. As far as his own skin color is concerned, is it wrong to mention c?"
Martha's calm words were well-founded, and the girls around her fell silent. The only sound in the office was the sound of typing on the keyboard and flipping through the files.
Martha sighed again, and with a clatter of fingers, she marked the file with a C level, and inserted it into a transmission track.
"If you look at the top Asian actors in our database, there are slightly more Chinese actors who can be ranked in Hollywood."
"There is also a leading actor in the Hollywood Best Picture Award: Chow Yun-fat, which is only a B-level temporary evaluation. If he receives a B-level film, if the box office does not do well, he will be discarded immediately." (To be continued.)
