Many dragon actors are actually true movie lovers.
For Long Tao, it is obviously extremely difficult for them to make a living, not because the pay is too low, but because the job opportunities are really limited. After all, Long Tao has no performance or appearance requirements, any one feels this Anyone who is interested can participate, which makes the competition even more intense.
Going further, many of them have very hard work. For example, for those who filmed the "Pacific War", they may lie in the mud for a whole day, or wait for a whole day, just to appear in the camera for less than a second. ; Another example is the "Walking Dead" tricks, special makeup takes four to six hours, and makeup removal takes one to two hours, which must be repeated every day.
So, if they don't really love movies, they can't stick to it - maybe after one or two interesting attempts, they give up.

Compared with an actor, Long Tao is more like a pure idealist, embracing a dream of an actor that can never be realized, embracing a great ideal born for movies, and tirelessly walking on this road to the end. Zhou/Xing/Chi was born in a dragon suit.
The old man in front of him seemed to do the same. Renly felt that he was really interesting, whether it was his words or actions, and he asked enthusiastically, "Alfred? Tell me, this is your real name, Or is it a stage name specially changed for the performance?"
Alfred Wayne, the name itself is also full of profound meanings. As we all know, "Batman"'s real name is Bruce Wayne (Brue), and his butler is called Alfred. When you hear the name "Alfred Wayne", it's hard not to think.
"Oh heh." Alfred laughed in a low voice. Renly was not the first actor to hear the meaning of his name, but the first actor to ask serious questions without joking. With a sly light, "Who knows, I could have been Batman's good housekeeper, but I didn't expect, and now I have become a decadent old Goofy. So, maybe this is my destiny, or, this is mine. real name."
Those convoluted words did not hide his ridicule and banter.
Renly raised his eyebrows slightly and said meaningfully, "Is that why you hate George? Or is it that I think too much?"
In 1997, George Clooney starred in "Batman and Robin", which was his first super-commercial blockbuster after he became famous with "The Story of the Emergency Room". When his career took off, but this version of Batman But it became a complete disaster. Not only did it fail at the box office, but also the media reputation was a mess, and what was even more terrifying was that it was attacked by countless comic fans.
This became a major black spot in George's acting career. First, Warner Bros. sealed the series for nearly ten years, and then George was completely cut off from superheroes. Twenty years later, some people still use this work to make fun of George.
Before "Batman and Robin", 1995's "Batman Forever", directed by Joel-Shumacher and featuring Val-Kilmer as Batman, was a huge success throughout North America. It won a lot of acclaim from all sides, and is even considered one of the best comic book adaptations of the 1990s.
However, when filming the sequel, many of the leading actors, including Fang-Kimer, resigned for various reasons. As a last resort, Warner Bros. had to reorganize the cast, which was aimed at George.
Likewise, the role of Butler Alfred, which has been cast three times in a row by former actor Michael-Gough, including Jai in the classic Joker that version.
The simple words of Alfred just now, and the conversation he had with Nathan before, were full of resentment towards George. As a result, Renly had a bold guess: Could it be that Alfred in front of him was one of the candidates for the housekeeper to replace the actor
Although it is said that "Batman and Robin" suffered a fiasco, no one knew about this at the beginning of the preparations. What's more, even if the box office fails, the responsibility will not be the responsibility of the supporting roles. Therefore, for second-tier and third-tier actors , that was a great opportunity, but unfortunately, Alfred missed that opportunity-in the end, Michael Goff played the role of the housekeeper for the fourth time, which also made Alfred unable to recover, and the actor's career has since declined. , never got a chance to win again, and then lived in the mediocrity of mediocrity.
Of course, this is just a random guess by Renly, the result of a wide-open brain.
Renly's words made Alfred stunned for a moment, his expression was a little stiff, his eyes that were almost narrowed into slits flickered with turbid light that could not be seen clearly, and for a moment, he seemed to be caught in a memory. However, it was just a moment, and it disappeared in the blink of an eye, almost making people think it was purely their own illusion.
"Oh, hehe." Alfred laughed cheerfully, "I hope so. At least, this shows that I was once a character." The self-deprecating smile was a little light, making it impossible to distinguish the truth in the words. Fake.
Renly did not continue to ask, after all, that is someone else's privacy, "You are indeed a character, I can see that you should have appeared in many crews. I always think you are familiar."
"Really?" A bright smile appeared on Alfred's face, "Do you remember which work it was? My most recent work was 'Grey's Anatomy', in which I played a doctor, every other day. It will appear in the background. By the way, I also have a photo with the cast and crew.” He took his phone out of his pocket, opened the photo collection, and started to flip through, “Actually, I have worked with them for more than three years. Time, if you've seen this work, then maybe you've seen me."
"Three years, it's not too short." Renly nodded again and again, his eyes fell on the phone screen, "Are you really involved in the shooting scene of the surgery?"
"Oh, no, I'm just in the hallway," Alfred introduced enthusiastically. "Here's a picture of me in a 'Prison Break' show where I play a prisoner. Also, this is 'King Kong'. ' The dragon trick."
"Is this Peter-Ja?" said Renly in surprise.
Alfred enthusiastically introduced Renly's videos of running through tricks, but some of the photos were quite old and were not stored on this phone, so he turned to find out his Facebook page, Found photos above for further explanation.
For the dragon actors, they can't seem to find any sense of existence, even if they tell their relatives and friends, "I starred in 'Fast and Furious 5'", but when the movie was released, they tried their best, widened their eyes, and They don't necessarily find it, because they don't know which shots will be left and which shots will be cut, and maybe they are in the part that was cut. Even if it's not cut out, it's probably just a glimpse of the camera.
They are actors, but they are not actors, and they are even more inexistent than stand-ins. Ridiculously, they are an integral part of the crew again.
These photos are the only evidence that they have ever been involved, and the only evidence that they are "actors".
Alfred knew that he was showing off and talking, and he couldn't control it; but he could feel that Renly was not being polite, but was really interested, and even asked in detail about the shooting details of some works, Like a true movie lover, not an actor.
"Sorry, my introduction seems a bit long." Alfred withdrew his phone with a cautious look on his face. Renly is an actor, a real actor, and he doesn't need to look through the pictures, he can actually be in it, standing in front of the camera, basking in the spotlight. "You know what it's like to be on set better than I do."
"I wouldn't say that." Renly chuckled, "This is only my third film work. Of course, if you count the TV series, um, let me think about it, it should be the tenth, then It’s quite a lot, but it’s still not as good as yours.”
Alfred was stunned for a while, and then reacted immediately. Renly regarded every episode of "War in the Pacific" as a work, and he couldn't help laughing again, "I forgot all about it. , you're going to shoot the first scene today, right? I'll be in that scene too. You should be able to find me in the crowd."
"Sorry, I can't distract myself from looking for you during work, otherwise the audience will think you're my love interest." Renly's sarcastic words made Alfred laugh heartily. .
He likes Renly like this. Even though it was Renly's perfect social mask, he liked it.
Alfred took out a pack of Skittles from his pocket, poured it into his palm, and threw a handful into his mouth. When he noticed Renly's inquiring gaze, he said with a smile, "Quit some habits. , it is bound to develop other habits.”
It dawned on Renly, and one could guess that Alfred had given up smoking—or alcohol, and got into the habit of eating candy.
"Do you want to try something? I see you are very curious." Alfred took the initiative to stretch out the candy bag and said friendly.
Renly shook his head, "No, I don't really like candy, except toffee." Renly said honestly, "It's just that your candy-eating habit reminds me of a friend. Ryan Gosling, you Do you know him?"
Alfred didn't expect Renly to refuse so directly. Most actors would actually accept the project for the sake of face. Whether to eat or not is another matter; Exercise or diet. But Renly's refusal was so crisp, that Alfred didn't realize he was offended, but instead smiled.
"Gosling, of course, 'The Notebook', who doesn't know?" Alfred took the Skittles back and handed it to Nathan who was standing on the other side. Nathan took it with a smile. Unceremoniously poured a large amount, and as a result, most of the bag was emptied, and that straightforward appearance made Alfred smile.
"Does he like candy too? I mean, Ryan."
