Sorry, you are…you are Dennis Knight, right?Joey looked at the man in front of him with a look of surprise.
Yes, hello.Dennis stretched out his hand, are you here to audition?
Of course, I'm Joey, Joey Tribiani.
Joey shook his hands enthusiastically, I really like your movies, especially the characters in Pulp Novels. The part where you gave Mia a needle is so funny.
Well...I think... Dennis twitched the corner of his mouth, it should be the character of John Travolta.
Yeah?Joey opened his mouth wide and stayed silent for about two or three seconds, then covered himself with a laugh and slapped Dennis hard. No matter what, you are still great.
Thanks.Dennis rolled his eyes and raised his legs and walked inside.
You are...right?Joey then called him out with shamelessness, if possible...
You can be more unrestrained and exaggerated, such as taking off your top or something.Dennis replied perfunctorily.
So, when the assistant announced the next one to come in, Joey couldn't wait to jump in, and then without waiting for Adrian, who was sitting in the chair, hesitated and pulled open his clothes and exposed his strong upper body and began to dance. He occasionally waved his arms with his lower body, as if he was very intoxicated.
Everyone was stunned. Several assistants who participated in the audition covered their faces at the same time. Dennis even turned his head to the side. He didn't expect that he would make this guy take it seriously after saying a few casual words.
Although Adrian's mouth twitched, he didn't say anything. It was not until Joey stopped making a seductive move with his head, and he frowned and stared at him and asked: Who the hell are you?
Then he turned around and questioned his assistant: This character is a stripper, but I didn't ask you to find a real stripper to perform!
Cut!The director's voice came from outside the scene, Ed, you glanced at the camera again just now.
Got a glance again?Adrian raised his hands helplessly, "You didn't mean it, Brinkley?"
Hey, so many people are watching here, Ed.The TV director Brinkley, who directed the episode, laughed, which made the people around him laugh.
God Ah, do I want to jump like this again?Matt LeBron, who plays Joey, lamented at this moment.
That's OK, Joey, you danced great.Jennifer and others whistled outside the field.
Hey, why don't you guys come and jump once.LeBron said dissatisfiedly.
Because the director and screenwriter only arrange for you to dance.
Dennis patted his shoulder and said comfortingly, "Jane and the others are right. You really dance great. You can make a living if you don't act anymore."
What kind of praise do you guys do?LeBron immediately punched them.
OK, gentlemen, can you give me a few minutes to adjust?Don't be too harsh on newcomers.
Adrian sighed and inserted it in.
Directing is one thing, and acting is another. Although he can change roles at will in life, it does not mean that he can be so comfortable in front of the camera.
And some habits will inevitably affect him. For example, even though he knows that it is not good to look at the camera, he still can't help but subconsciously glance at him during the shooting, because he is a director himself.
It must be admitted that actors are not that easy to do.Adrian said to Dennis.
Not easy.Dennis, drinking water, sighed and looked at the six protagonists who were joking there and were a little depressed.
No wonder, his role was not like this at the beginning. The screenwriters specially arranged for him about two episodes, and he would play a limbo who seduced Rachel, but Ross was disturbed by good things.
But when Adrian agreed to make a cameo, he specifically called Dennis and asked him to play him as a guest star.
After all, we have worked together for so long, so you can guide me.
Adrian said that at the time, and did not hide his attitude that he was just trying to pull you into the water.
Of course Dennis would not refuse, so this scene happened now.
Different, actors can change careers and become directors after a long period of accumulation, such as the old guy Clint Eastwood.But how many directors become actors after a long period of accumulation?Even Woody Allen is an actor and director at the same time.
Adrian said, picking up the water cup and taking a sip, then looking at Jennifer and others in the distance. Actors like Matt and Jenny who have played the same role for a long time can easily be fixed to death, so it is best to turn to the backstage in the future.
Playing the same role for a long time?How long is it?Dennis asked half-jokingly.
Almost ten years.
Adrian shrugged, you know, "Friends" has a very high ratings and can be said to be the hottest TV series at present, so as long as you maintain this momentum and don't make major mistakes, it should be no problem to film ten seasons.
Wow, this is... really surprising.
Dennis said blankly, of course he would not doubt Adrian's words. From the time he realized that Adrian had never made any mistakes in his judgment, but if that's the case...
He looked not far away with a complicated expression, and Jennifer was smiling like a flower when he was talking happily with several friends.
Adrian, who had captured Dennis' expression, touched his chin thoughtfully, but then shook his head and stopped thinking about those things.
Although Adrian's acting skills in front of the camera are not very good, he doesn't have many scenes after all, so he finally completed it smoothly after spending an afternoon.
To this end, all the crew members applauded warmly after the last shot was completed. As for whether to encourage more or make more jokes, it depends on the person who applauded.
After this episode of "Friends" was aired, the already high ratings jumped up by a few percentage points. Joey's performance was so funny, and Jennifer, who had two lines in each episode, was also very interesting and warm, and naturally it was sought after by people who already liked this TV series.
Of course, Adrian and Dennis cameo are also one of the reasons.
Needless to say, Dennis is now called by the media why he can play outstanding young people with great popularity.
As for Adrian, although he has appeared in the media several times and is known as a miracle director, he still maintains a sense of mystery in front of the public.
In addition, the relationship between the two and the initial interesting encounter have been widely reported by the media. If such a cameo group is not attracted by the attention, it is a ghost to see it.
But this is all for the future. It's only early November, and this episode is the penultimate episode of the first season, so it will not be released in at least more than a month, that is, the two weeks at the end of December.
After completing his cameo in Friends, Adrian moved to the movie again.
The most talked about movies at present are to be precisely the most sought after by critics. The literary and artistic movies directed by Campion, which was just released in the United States.
Because it is a low-cost independent film, although there are a lot of trailers and a lot of publicity, and the Venetian Golden Lion Awards are used as gimmicks, the premiere is still not held.
But many long-awaited critics have praised the film, especially for many female critics.
This is a masterpiece that reflects the awakening of female consciousness!Campion gives a perfect interpretation from the body and the mind.
A poignant and touching love story, Campion uses her unique method to describe the various feelings expressed by women when facing the collision of reason and sensibility.
With soft sign language and firm eyes, Holly Hunter successfully performed the image of a beautiful mute girl with rich heart but imprisoned heart. Campion made an amazing attempt.
Likes like this abound, as mentioned earlier, it is always an appetite for critics to make such films, especially those who are feminist supreme.
With such a reputation and early publicity, the box office will naturally not be bad. It won’t be much worse than the box office in the first week and weekend.
It seems a bit shabby, but by comparison, the theaters will show that this number is no longer small, because less than 200 theaters were screening "Piano Lesson" in the first week.
Of course, this result is not good either. If the promotional expenses are included, the cost of the movie is about 13 million yuan. If you want to make money at the box office, you have to get at least more than 40 million yuan.
This is also impossible. The bosses of theaters are smart businessmen. They will not easily provide more resources for a niche movie, even Cult-type movies with a relatively fixed audience, or even niche movies directed by big directors.
Generally speaking, unless it is a B-level movie with a particularly reputation, it can win about 1,000 theaters when it is released in the first week.
It is a good achievement for niche literary and artistic films like "Piano Lesson" to be released in nearly 200 cinemas in the first week.
No one can control it because it is determined by the market.
But that doesn't matter. As long as the movie's performance is good enough, the number of cinemas screenings will gradually increase. Although it will not reach the level of large productions, the cost can be recovered through long-term screenings, just like "Pulp Novel" has been released for almost half a year.
"Piano Lesson" can earn $3 million in box office with nearly 200 theaters, which has proven that it is still commercially valuable.
What's more, with its current reputation, it is almost certain that it will be a nominee for the Oscar. This alone can add a lot of gimmicks. If you can win the best movie, it will inevitably increase the box office a lot.
In the history of the Oscars, there are many movies that have seen a big increase in box office because of winning the best movie.
However, it is a pity that the Best Movie and Best Director of this year's Oscar have been included. With the efforts of many people, "Schindler's List" has begun to enter the Americans' sight from various channels.
