Chapter 2128： Recruit actors

Today's fourth update, please recommend, please subscribe!

"In the cloud, the crew provides a part-time performance job, requiring non-actors and no age limit. From September 15th to October 25th, they participate in the performance work of the crew from time to time, with an hourly salary of $30. . Hiring cities are: Detroit, Omaha, St. Louis, Las Vegas, Miami, Ontario. Eleven Studios open.”

This recruitment advertisement is quite nondescript. First of all, it is not an advertisement for extra actors. Almost all actor positions can be found in the Actors Guild. Even extra actors, there are many third-tier actors willing to participate. After all, this is also a performance opportunity, but But it was released in the form of job recruitment, which made people really confused.

Secondly, it is not a formal job advertisement. Although it is said that the salary of 30 dollars an hour is considered as the salary of senior white-collar workers in large companies, it can be said to be very good compared to the wage earners of McDonald's who earn less than 9 dollars an hour, but This is a part-time job with a duration of 40 days, and participation is irregular. Only after participating can you be billed on an hourly basis. In other words, it is also possible to apply for a job and end the work after an hour of filming, and then only get thirty dollars.

So, this job advertisement is indeed nondescript.

But this is Evan Bell's original intention. He doesn't want to go to the Actors Guild to find those professional actors, he just wants to find ordinary people, ordinary people who were recruited temporarily.

The shooting of "In the Clouds" was all carried out in the real world, and the airport occupied the main part, so there was absolutely no shortage of extras who served as the background.

But considering that some of the extras, including the people who were laid off, airport staff, etc., had scenes and even had lines, in addition, some extras who acted as backgrounds also needed to be recruited. Special recruitment of extras is also a must.

The reason why Evan Bell chooses ordinary people so much is for two purposes. The first is to solve the local short-term employment problem, and the government can reduce or exempt a little tax for the crew; It creates a sense of presence and improvisation, rather than a well-rehearsed walk. The unfamiliarity of ordinary people with the lens can bring more realism to the film.

This is the job advertisement posted by Eleven Studio, targeting ordinary people who are not actors. This is really surprising, and it has also become one of the most talked about topics in Hollywood before the opening of this year's Venice Film Festival.

This job, although it looks like a good hourly salary, is actually unstable and short-term; but even so, the number of people who come to sign up is far beyond expectations, especially when it is learned that the film is Evan. -After Bell's latest work, it took less than 24 hours for the advertisement to be posted, and the number of applicants exceeded 10,000!

As Evan Bell's third film this year, the media reporters' attention to "in the cloud" has declined. The main reason is that the previous two works were all closed and filmed, and they were unwilling to disclose any information. They take it for granted that "in the cloud" is estimated to be the same this time, not to mention that it is still in the preparatory stage, so naturally they are not so proactive. But even so, the various reports in the media are still not a small number.

Media reporters soon discovered that "In the Cloud" has returned to the route of adapting the script, and the original novel was unexpectedly an unknown work, which also caused all kinds of rumors to emerge in an endless stream. This time, no one questioned Evan Bell's choice, because Evan Bell has proved it with countless real experiences: his choice is not without purpose, so all discussions focus on the highlights of this work Where exactly is it, and what kind of appearance will the filmed work look like.

As for the 10,000 ordinary people who signed up, they became the most talked about part of the media: it seems that the investment of 30 million "in the cloud" this time is not a small work.

In "In the Clouds", the real main actors are just two palms. All other actors are found through open recruitment, and Evan Bell is also known for the main actor.

The first to respond were Jason Bateman and Dagger Simmons, who worked together in "Juno," and Zach and Galifianakis, who worked together in "Survival in the Wild," during his summer vacation this year. Because "Hangover" can be said to be a big hit, but after receiving the invitation from Evan Bell, he nodded and agreed without hesitation. Several other characters also sent out invitations, and they quickly got a positive response. The whole preparatory work could not have been smoother.

Later, Evan Bell found Blake Lively with the script.

The two also haven't seen each other for half a year. In fact, both of them are so busy that they don't touch the ground; Evan Bell began to work on his own works, and it took half a year for the two works before and after; "Blake Lively, who was filming, returned to the "Gossip Girl" crew and finished filming the rest of her second season, and then she joined the "Robbers in the City" crew in full swing. This is Ben Affleck. The second work directed by Dang, Blake Lively was introduced by Jennifer Garner, participated in the interview, and successfully became a member of the crew.

When Evan Bell found Blake Lively, she had just finished the project and didn't even have time to stop and rest.

"The Thief in the City" was all filmed in Boston, so Blake Lively went straight to New York after filming.

Sitting in an idyllic coffee house in SoHo, Blake Lively looked at the script handed over by Evan Bell and widened his eyes, "If you want me to play, just say it, I still have a copy to read. Is it necessary?" Blake Lively's smile bloomed, still so childish, but he was a little tired due to his busy work recently, which made people feel distressed, "Besides, I am willing to play There is a long line of actors in your movie, how could I give up this opportunity?"

Evan Bell shook his head with a smile, pointed to the coffee on the table, and motioned for Blake Lively to take a sip. Although Blake Lively has been busy with work for nearly a year , which led to some mental exhaustion, but for young people, it should be more excitement than exhaustion. So, grab some coffee, lift your spirits, and things will look a lot better.

"Our relationship is one thing, whether you're willing to star in my work is another." Evan Bell said with a faint smile, after seeing Blake Lively take a sip of his coffee , the smile could not help deepening, "I hope you will play my script, but at least you should understand what role it is and what the script is. Otherwise, in the future, if various directors and producers use friendship to invite invitations, you will not refuse, So what should I do?" In fact, these things are all checked by agents, but Blake Lively is just getting started on the actor's road, so Evan Bell will still give some more guidance.

Blake Lively knew that the man cared about him, and could not help but feel a touch of warmth slipping through his heart, but there was a sense of ridicule in his mouth, "Then what if I read the script and am not satisfied?"

Evan Bell shrugged, "Then I will do my best to convince you. Because when I was writing the script, I was actually thinking about what I was creating."

"Oh..." Blake Lively immediately put his hands on his heart, frowning slightly, looking intoxicated, "If you say that, who can refuse you? Anyway, I can't. "

Being ridiculed by the little girl, Evan Bell couldn't help laughing, the smiles at the corners of his mouth and eyes overflowed, he raised his finger and pointed to the script on the table, "There's so much nonsense, let me show you the script ."

Blake Lively did not rush to open the script, but leaned against the edge of the coffee table, leaned his head over, looked closely at Evan Bell's smiling eyes, and smiled playfully Get up, "Are you shy?"

As soon as these words came out, Evan Bell was immediately annoyed. This little girl, who gave her three points of color, actually opened a dyeing workshop. Evan Bell suddenly showed a serious performance on purpose, and then said fiercely, "Then you Let people see what a real man is!" After he finished speaking, Evan Bell stood up directly, walked across, and sat beside Blake Lively.

This time Blake Lively panicked and quickly begged for mercy, "I don't dare, Evan, I really don't dare." But it was obviously too lateEvan Bell's The pair of magic hands reached out directly, grabbed the hands that Blake Lively was trying to resist, and then pressed the whole person up. Blake Lively felt the strength of his man in an instant. Maybe Evan Bell is not the burly type, but the pressure brought by his momentum and well-proportioned muscles is indeed a small expense.

Blake Lively didn't dare to struggle fiercely, seeing that Evan Bell's face was no more than two fists away from him, Blake Lively said quickly, "Evan, I really don't dare. There are so many people here, and when there is a commotion and it affects the safety of public places, it will be bad, isn't it?"

In fact, there were not many people in the coffee house at this time, that is, there were only five or six tables of guests, but Blake Lively's quick and wise words still caused Evan Bell to pause for a while. Obviously, he deliberately gave Bly the rabbit. Lively down the steps, "Then are you saying that I'm shy?"

"No, of course not." Blake Lively begged for mercy in a series of words, "You are the most manly, my young master, my prince, my king, my man!"

Looking at Blake Lively in front of him, he bit his red lips lightly, his eyes were covered with a thin smile, and two blushes flew on his cheeks. Evan Bell raised his eyebrows, lowered his head, kissed Blake Lively's red lips hard, and whispered, "Don't forget!"
