What is the real face of American film extras?

China extras in the movie city. Two years ago, my parents sent me, aged 65,438+06, to Marshall High School in Los Angeles to stay with my period of emigrating to the United States for many years. By chance, I saw from the advertisement column in the newspaper that Universal Studios wanted to recruit China extras of any age to make films. So I went to sign up. When it was my turn to interview, the director asked, "Do you have any special performances?" I'm nervous, my mind is blank, and I'm at a loss, because everyone in front of me is doing so well. I saw the assistant standing next to the director waved at me and shouted, "Next!" At this time, I suddenly remembered Taiji Chuan, who was studying in the physical education class of Grade One in senior high school in China. I took a deep breath and hit a group of very beautiful Tai Ji Chuan. The director smiled with satisfaction and said, "Count him in!" Later, I learned that this film wanted an actor with China traditional charm. Soon, my acting skills advanced by leaps and bounds. Fortunately, I also participated in a "TV talk show" hosted by Larry King, the most famous American host. One short minute changed my life. In the program, I stood up and told the American audience about Confucius' Confucianism and the virtues of inheriting Chinese civilization, especially how my parents patiently taught me how to be a man. I'm very excited. After this program was broadcast, I began to play the role of a small actor in some movies starring stars. Inspired by a precious lighter, I once played a janitor in a movie starring jennifer lopez. I found out that my idol Jennifer is actually a chain smoker, probably in a bad mood after breaking up with her boyfriend Ben Affleck. After filming, she turned and left the set. I saw her lighter on the table, so I quickly picked it up and chased it out. She smiled knowingly and said, "Young man, this is a gift for you." I didn't want it, but she insisted, so I had to accept it. One day, I happened to talk about it on the website of a Jennifer fan. After reading my description of the shape of this lighter, a netizen told me with surprise: "You have made a fortune. This lighter is Jennifer's favorite. She has been using it for several years. " I was suddenly inspired, so I registered a user on the auction website EBAY, and then took photos of lighters from different angles with a digital camera and put them on the website for auction. Unexpectedly, the auction price of this lighter soared to $500 in one day. At this time, I realized that anything used or related by any celebrity will be worth a hundred times. Not only that, but later I found out that after the filming, many unused props will become valuables and be worth a hundred times if they are put on the Internet. I told this to my good friend Lin Xiao in China. After listening, she was surprised to leave a message on the Internet: "Qiao Feng, this is a good opportunity to start a business. We must seize it and don't miss this rare opportunity. " I think this may also be a stage of mental exercise. Soon I set up my own "online shop" on EBAY. Customers came from all over the world, and the products I sold expanded from movie props to star signatures and movie posters. Spider-Man signed a T-shirt. My most successful business came from spider-man 2. There was a scene of Spider-Man and doctor octopus fighting on the train. Considering that this film will be released to the world, the actors who play the passengers on the train are required to be people of all colors, and I am fortunate to be one of them, but I have a bigger plan in mind. When the filming was over and the hero Toby Vincent Maguire (Spider-Man) was about to leave, many extras gathered around to ask for his autograph. Toby, who has always been proud and never signed autographs for fans, is very friendly to everyone we have worked with and is happy to sign autographs. I quickly put on my new T-shirt, turned my back on him and asked him to sign my back. Later, I left the crowd and put on T-shirts of different colors for him to sign. Because he didn't see my face, he thought it was another person every time, so he unconsciously signed all my 10 T-shirts. On the way home, there are only two words in my mind: send! That thing which is rare is dear. As soon as the news that I auctioned Toby Vincent Maguire's signed T-shirts appeared on EBAY, the price soared to $300 each, while the cost of my clothes was less than 10. Just as I was intoxicated with it, suddenly, my phone rang. "Hey, hello! Excuse me, is this Qiao Feng? I am a girl from Saudi Arabia and I am a big fan of Toby. " When I hear the word "Saudi Arabia", I think of oil. I think there are rich people there. Sure enough, the girl went on to say, "I want to buy out all your signature T-shirts. Please quote and tell me your bank account number! " ""per piece 1000 dollars! "I want to test her bottom line." Deal! "I have some regrets when I heard that she agreed so readily. But be honest in business. In addition, a T-shirt 1000 dollars is sky-high, and I succeeded in making this big deal. Special correspondent for entertainment magazines at home and abroad With the increasing popularity of online stores, I accidentally received emails from reporters from some small entertainment newspapers and magazines in China. They asked me if I would like to cooperate and provide some first-line news that happened in Hollywood, because it is expensive to buy copyright directly from big magazines. I quickly agreed. The next day, I changed my camera at home to a barrel professional camera. Because I have a package, I can go wherever I want, but the camera has to be hidden in my backpack. Soon, I was in a spy movie starring Tom Cruise. At home, I heard the girls in my class say that Cruise is tall and handsome, but when I saw him, he was half a head shorter than me, and definitely not more than 1.70 meters. I think this is my chance. But I have never found any strong evidence to prove that he is short. Until one day, Cruise was filmed talking face to face with a Russian agent, whose height was 1.90 meters. Because it was a close-up, Cruise only touched the man's shoulder. Later, the director had a brainwave and moved a big box so that Cruise could stand on it and shoot. I smiled. I had never seen such a ridiculous thing, so I quickly picked up the camera and secretly took a picture. Because this photo of mine is exclusive, it was sold not only to domestic magazines, but also to Entertainment Weekly, the top entertainment magazine in the United States. What impressed me even more was that on the third day after the magazine was published, I received a phone call from the deputy editor-in-chief of Entertainment Weekly: "Joe, the angle you took photos of Cruise is very innovative. We are willing to hire you as a contracted photographer and provide us with five photos every month. "The microphone was put down for a while before I woke up from the shock, and then I ran and ran excitedly on the playground. You know, being a photographer for Entertainment Weekly is an honor that many photographers in Hollywood dream of. From then on, I became an supernumerary, a businessman and an amateur reporter, and my income began to stabilize. This year, I am a freshman in Los Angeles University. Now I earn my own tuition and living expenses. Not only do I not ask my parents for a penny, but I also send 300 dollars to my parents in China every month. Although I still can't afford a sports car, I can only drive an old Audi to class, but I am full of confidence in the future, because I believe that "I am the best"!
