In fact, many actors are real movie lovers.
It's obviously very difficult for them to make a living out of it. It's not because the salary is too low, but because the job opportunities are really limited. After all, there is no performance or appearance requirement for a dragon suit. Anyone who is interested in it can participate, which makes the competition more intense.
What's more, many of them work very hard. For example, when shooting the "Pacific War", they may lie in the mud all day, or wait all day, just to appear in the camera for less than a second; Another example is the "walking dead" dragon suit. It takes four to six hours for special make-up and one to two hours for makeup removal. It must be repeated every day.
So, if they don't really love movies, they can't stick to it - they may give up after one or two interesting attempts.
Compared with actors, Longtao is more like a pure idealist, embracing a dream that can never be realized as an actor and a great ideal born for the film, and going to the end tirelessly on this road. Stephen Chow was born in Longtao.
The old man in front of him seemed to be the same. Langley felt that he really had some meaning, both in words and actions. He asked excitedly, "Alfred? Tell me, is this your real name, or is it a stage name changed for the show? "
Alfred Wayne, the name itself is full of profound meaning. As we all know, Batman's real name is Bruce wyane, and his housekeeper is Alfred. When you hear the name of Alfred Wayne, it's hard not to think about it.
"Oh, ha ha." Alfred began to laugh in a low voice. Lanli was not the first actor to recognize the meaning of his name, but the first actor to ask seriously instead of joking. His slim eyes twinkled with cunning light. "Who knows, I could have been a good housekeeper for Batman, but now I'm a decadent old Goofy. So maybe that's my destiny, or maybe that's my real name. "
The mysterious words did not hide his banter and banter.
"Is that why you hate George?" said Langley, with a slight frown? Or do I think too much? "
In 1997, George Clooney starred in "Batman and Robin". This is his first super commercial blockbuster after he became famous with "the story of the emergency room". When his career took off, however, this version of Batman has become a complete disaster. It not only failed at the box office, but also had a bad reputation in the media, Has been attacked by countless comic fans.
This has become a black spot in George's acting career. First, it made Warner Brothers dust up the series for nearly ten years, and then it made George completely cut off from the superheroes. Twenty years later, some people still teased George with this work.
Before "Batman and Robin", in 1995, "Batman Forever" was directed by Joel Schumacher and starred in Batman by Val Kilmer, which was a great success. It won great acclaim in all aspects of North America, and even was considered one of the best comic adapted films in the 1990s.
However, when shooting the sequel, a group of leading actors, including Fang Kimo, resigned for various reasons. As a last resort, Warner Bros. can only reorganize the cast, which is aimed at George.
Similarly, Alfred's role as housekeeper is looking for actors again. Former actor Michael Gough has played this role three times in a row, including Jack Nicholson's version of the classic clown.
Alfred's simple words just now, and his previous conversation with Nathan, are full of resentment towards George. As a result, Langley had a bold guess: was Alfred one of the candidates to replace the actor?
Although "Batman and Robin" suffered a disastrous defeat, no one knew this at the beginning of the preparation. What's more, even if the box office failed, the responsibility would not be borne by the supporting actors. Therefore, for the second and third tier actors, it was a great opportunity, but unfortunately, But Alfred missed the chance - finally Michael Goff played the role of housekeeper for the fourth time, which made Alfred's career decline, never won the chance, and then he spent his life in a routine.
Of course, it's just the result of lanli's random guess.
Alfred was stunned by lanli's words, and his expression was a little stiff. His eyes almost narrowed into a slit were shining with a muddy light that could not be seen clearly. For a moment, he seemed to fall into memory. However, it's just a moment. It disappears in the blink of an eye, almost making people think it's just their own illusion.
"Oh, ha ha." Alfred laughed brightly. "I hope so. At least, it shows that I used to be a character. " That self mocking smile with a trace of ease, people can not distinguish between the true and false words.
Lan Li did not continue to ask, after all, that is other people's privacy, "you are indeed a character, I can see that you should have appeared in many troupes, I always think you look familiar."
"Really?" Alfred had a big smile on his face. "Do you remember what it was? My latest work is "grey, the intern." I play a doctor in it, and it will appear in the background every so often. By the way, I have a picture with the cast He took his cell phone out of his pocket, opened his photo collection, and began to read. "In fact, I've worked with them for more than three years. If you've seen this work, maybe you've seen me."
"Three years, that's not a short time." Lan Li nodded, his eyes fell on the mobile phone screen, "are you really involved in the shooting scene of the operation?"
"Oh, no, I'm just in the hallway." Alfred enthusiastically introduced, "this is a picture of me taking part in the prison break performance. I played a prisoner. Also, this is the Dragon suit of "King Kong."
"This is Peter Jackson?" Lan Li said in surprise.
Alfred enthusiastically introduced the film that he had run through the Dragon set to Lan Li. However, some of the photos have not been stored on this mobile phone for a long time. So he specially searched his Facebook page and found the photos on it for further explanation.
It seems that they can't find any sense of existence. Even if they tell their friends and relatives, "I've played speed and passion 5", when the movie is released, they try their best to open their eyes, but they can't find it, because they don't know which shots will be left and which ones will be cut. Maybe, They're in the cut. Even if it's not cut, it may just be a glimpse of the camera.
They're actors, but they're not actors, and they don't even have a sense of being more than doubles. Paradoxically, they are an integral part of the crew.
These photos are the only proof that they have ever participated in, and that they are "actors".
Alfred knew he was showing off and talking, and he couldn't help it; But he can feel that Langley is not being polite, but really interested. He even inquired about the shooting details of some works in detail, just like a real movie lover, not an actor.
"I'm sorry, it seems that my introduction is a little lengthy." Alfred took back his cell phone with a stiff look on his face. Lanli is an actor, a real actor. He doesn't need to browse the photos of these dragon sets. He can really participate in them, standing in front of the camera and bathing in the magnesium lamp“ You should know more about being on set than I do. "
"I'm not going to say that." Lenley chuckled. "This is just my third movie. Of course, if you include TV series, well, let me think, it should be the tenth one. That's quite a lot, but it still can't compare with you. "
Alfred was stunned, and then he reflected that Langley regarded every episode of "Pacific War" as a work. He couldn't help laughing again, "I forgot that you are going to shoot the first scene today, right? I'll play that scene, too. You should be able to find me in the crowd. "
"Sorry, in the process of work, I can't distract myself from looking for you, otherwise the audience will think you are my love object." Lanley's funny words made Alfred laugh heartily.
He likes this kind of Langley. Even if it's the perfect social mask of Langley, he still likes it.
Alfred took out a bag of rainbow candy from his pocket, poured it into the palm of his hand, and then threw it into his mouth. Aware of lanli's exploring vision, he said with a smile, "if you give up some habits, you will certainly develop other habits."
Lanli suddenly realized that Alfred should have given up smoking or drinking, and then formed the habit of eating candy.
"Do you want to try a little? I see you are very curious. " Alfred offered his candy bag and said friendly.
Langley shook his head. "No, I don't really like candy except milk candy." It's just that your habit of eating candy reminds me of a friend. Ryan Gosling, do you know him? "
Alfred didn't expect that Langley's refusal was so direct that most of the actors would take it in order to save face. Whether they would eat or not was another matter; Even if you refuse, you will probably find a good excuse, such as working out or dieting. But Langley's refusal was so crisp that Alfred didn't notice that he was offended. Instead, he showed a smile.
"Gosling, of course," love notebook. "Who doesn't know?" Alfred takes the rainbow candy back and hands it to Nathan, who is standing on the other side. Nathan takes it with a smile and pours out a bunch of it. As a result, most of the bag is emptied. Alfred can't help smiling because of his straightforward appearance.
"Does he like sugar, too? I mean, Ryan
