Birth of an actor

"Cunning Benny, that bastard, I knew he must be up to no good." Photographer Sean muttered while adjusting the lens of the camera, "Fortunately I didn't listen to him."

Sean is a non-profit cooperative photographer of the BodyByMilk project of the American Dairy Association. Since joining five years ago, he has shot at least [-] sets of advertisements for the American Dairy Association, and the BodyByMilk project has a history of decades. It aims to promote the benefits of drinking milk to the public, so that all Americans can develop the habit of drinking milk, and one of the most famous activities launched by BodyByMilk is "GOTMILK (drink milk?)".

Speaking of GOTMILK, not everyone may know what it is, but when it comes to "milk beard", all Americans should have seen it on TV, newspapers, magazines, and even school brochures. GOTMILK is It is a public welfare activity that looks for the most popular stars, singers, athletes, etc. in the United States to appear on the camera, puts a white milk beard on them, and shoots advertisements. The purpose is to use the star effect to make American teenagers love milk more.

Generally speaking, advertising is a kind of TV industry. In order to maintain their "star mystique", Hollywood movie stars are basically insulated from the TV industry after their promotion. It is at the same level as low-level actors who earn money by shooting advertisements, but public service advertisements are different. Public welfare is also a kind of charity. In order to avoid taxes reasonably and win a good reputation, almost no Hollywood A-list actors do charity. ,GOTMILK?This kind of public service advertisement with a long history and a huge mass base, no matter how big the movie actors are, are happy to shoot it.

For five years, Sean has worked for superstar Mel Gibson, supermodel Kate Moss, the Backstreet Boys, actor Mike Myers, Whoopi Goldberg, the Friends Six, Neve Campbell, Legendary Bicycles Dave Milla and a large number of Olympic champions have made commercials, and they are all top figures in all walks of life. The time I worked with Kate Moss felt the best. She is really the darling of the camera. Every photo is full of taste, and there is almost no need for post-editing. He has cooperated with celebrities more, and Sean’s mood has gradually changed from nervous and excited to calm and casual during each shooting task. The subjects are full of complaints, because they are very different from the smart, friendly and lovable real faces on the screen.

Three days ago, in an email sent to him by BodyByMilk, Sean confirmed today's shooting plan, and then yesterday, while he was cooking dinner with his girlfriend at home, he received calls from several colleagues, all on I asked Sean if he was really free to shoot an advertisement for the association today, and if they are not free, they can do it for you. I didn’t ask the American Dairy Association who is the actor who is filming today. Sean was at a loss last night and didn’t know today. What kind of big man he was going to cooperate with made all his colleagues panic and couldn't sit still, but now, he knew—it was William Bradley!

This is a name that interests all photographers in Hollywood and fashion in the United States, not only because William Bradley has the closest to perfect golden ratio facial features and figure in the eyes of the artist, but also because the photographs from the other side are rare. In still photos, William Bradley has an almost terrifying control over the camera, almost comparable to those legendary models.

Magazine still photos, movie posters, advertising posters and even photos secretly taken by tabloids, William Bradley is always the most eye-catching one in the photos, and his dressing style cannot be said to be the most fashionable among men Yes, but he has a unique taste that is different from everyone around him, and no matter what he wears to go out, his posture and conversation always give people a very comfortable and enjoyable feeling.

This kind of ability to maintain a perfect image on and off the screen is usually only possessed by supermodels who have been tempered on the runway for many years, and it is really rare among actors, and William Bradley, even he Looking at the photos of the jeans advertisements he took when he was a teenager, Sean can point out a bunch of outdated styles of clothes, poor composition of the photos, and wrong color matching, but for William himself, he can’t find a single fault, he is so clear. Standing in front of the camera wearing those outdated clothes cleanly and cleanly, his expressions and movements are all ordinary but also revealing a young and fatal temptation, making people completely ignore the outdated style of the clothes, and can only utter praises .

Of course, the feeling of youthfulness and shyness has disappeared from William Bradley now, but the pure feeling has remained, mixed with an increasingly mature temperament, William Bradley has begun to have a No matter where he stands in the camera, no matter how small the frame he has, people will always notice him at the first time.

"Fashion is fleeting, only style lasts forever." In this Hollywood movie star who is not a model at all, Sean seems to have seen this sentence of Ms. Coco Chanel.Good models embody a fashion, but even better models translate their own style into a fashion, like Audrey Hepburn's little black dress, and Marilyn Monroe's white dress.

It's a pity that it seems that because of busy work, William Bradley not only has not accepted a single advertisement in the past two years, but he has rarely appeared in magazines, which makes many photographers who want to cooperate with him regretful. The regret was compounded by the fact that the photographers he had worked with kept the name "Will" on their lips for at least a few months after the shoot.

Now, Sean is one of the lucky ones in the industry, and he is extremely grateful for his decision to submit his resume to the American Dairy Association five years ago.

……

"Jesus Christ Mary." There was a sudden silence all around for a moment, and then there were sighs one after another.

"It's actually a Greek robe?"

"Too much fabric, but, oh my god..."

Compared with other celebrities who just change into more beautiful clothes and start shooting with a solid color background, BodyByMilk definitely spent a lot of money for this shoot. The theme of this issue of GOTMILK is "Greek Nobility and the Olympic Games "In addition to a group of photos of William Brandley wearing ancient Greek costumes and a milk beard, he will also shoot a final product of 1 minute. The plot is when the first Olympic Games in ancient Greece were held. , the noble young man played by William Bradley personally participated in the competition for the championship prize milk, defeated 8 other men who were stronger than him, and won the story of milk.

So of course, there are eight other men in Greek robes coming out of the dressing room with William Bradley, and each one of them seems to have been chosen for their size, all of them are tall , muscular, like a Spartan warrior.

But no one attracted so much attention as William Bradley.

The silky white linen robe covered his body like flowing water, and the folds were tied purely by hand or with strings, agile and elegant, outlining a nearly perfect body curve, conveying a sense of both classical and noble.Someone had talked about what William Bradley looked like in a Greek tunic before, but no one had ever imagined that the flappy white linen gown would look so damn good on him.

It's not just spicy, it's literally a living Greek god.

The thick muscular bodies of the other eight men were immediately set off as vulgar and exaggerated.

Is this really a milk ad?This is promoting masculinity.

The air felt hot and dry for no reason.

When Sean came to the studio today, William Bradley had already gone to make up, so he did not see the grand occasion when the other party arrived, but judging from the expressions of the people around him now, William Bradley just arrived in the morning There must be a lot of people wishing to jump directly on the other party.

Especially when those dark green eyes looked over, Sean didn't know if William was looking at him, but those overly charming eyes swept over here, and everyone felt that those eyes must be looking at him , Sean is no exception.

The first shot was a photo shoot. In order to make the milk beard more natural, the makeup artist did not go up to apply milk foam to William Bradley's upper lip until William Bradley sat down on the marble chair.

After the makeup artist finished his work and left, Sean suddenly felt that his pants were too tight today.

Regardless of whether others have felt it or not, Sean himself felt it deeply—the classical ascetic-style Greek robe, and a smear of white viscous liquid above his lips, this picture of uniform and almost pure colors brought him the first Impressions turned out to be fatal sex appeal.

"Fuck me," Sean murmured, grabbed the camera and moved closer to William, praying that the pants wouldn't make him look bad.

With numb fingers, he kept pressing the shutter button. Sean completed all the shooting intuitively, and used up all the film he brought.

And, Sean suddenly remembered a colleague who worked in "Variety Show". The colleague who had taken a personal photo of William Bradley on the cover of the magazine, after drinking half drunk, said in an exclamation tone: "We are with William Bradley. Working with Er is a wonderful experience, can you imagine it? I don't even have to think about composition or motion design at all, he has that kind of magic, knows what kind of expression and motion I want most, I have to kill the camera Sticking to his body, as if he couldn't control his movements at all."

Sean now understands the mood of that colleague very well, because he himself is also like this. Even the timing of pressing the shutter is not decided by him, but William's eyes and smiles, and his fingers move involuntarily.

Without waiting for the photo to be developed, Sean can be sure it's absolutely great.Maybe too good to be true.

When the personal photos were finished and the crowd began to turn to the outdoors to shoot commercial scenes, Sean hurriedly handed over the used film and camera to his assistant for storage, and after asking about the exact broadcast time of the commercial, Sean decided that he would never watch it ( If he can stand it), and run to the toilet to make a phone call.Every cubicle seemed to be locked from the inside. It took Sean a long time to find an empty one. He was on the phone while feeling helpless. Is everyone urgent to pee at this time?

"Benny, the rumors are true." As soon as his friend answered the phone, Sean said eagerly: "He does have the magic power to make straight men curvy and curvy women straight. I can't go to our dinner party anymore. I gotta go home and meet my girlfriend and say I love her, or I feel like I'm in real danger—"

The man in the next cubicle suddenly let out a series of uncontrollable groans.

"Are you talking on the phone in the toilet? Is there someone messing around next door?" My friend laughed until he died on the other end of the phone.

Sean held the phone in one hand, and patted the partition of the cubicle angrily with the other: "Can you keep your voice down? You fucking gay!"

The surrounding area was quiet for a moment, and then the door of Xiao En's own cubicle was also slapped from the outside: "You are not good, just give up the cubicle to someone else!"

Big city escapes and summer vacations are a way of life for all Americans, so weekend getaways by billionaires gave birth to the Long Island Hamptons and Hollywood movie stars' desire for privacy created Los Angeles. Malibu Beach is a holiday resort where the rich and famous get together, but in fact, there are more picturesque and pleasant places to live in the vast United States, but because most of them are inland, they are not adjacent to New York. It's a big city, so it's not that famous.

For example, the small town of Bar Harbor, Maine, was once favored by two major economic families, the Rockefeller family and the Astor family, and was once more famous than the resort on Long Island, New York. It is not only in the core hinterland of Acadia National Park , has also become the center of trade with England since the beginning of the seventeenth century. The buildings in the town are all in New England style, bringing together delicacies from all over the world. Not only can you find most of the food styles from all over the world here, but also produce The lobster is amazing, but because of the shift of economic focus over the years, the small town of Bal Harbor has become more and more frequented by photographers, single backpackers, writers and painters who want a quiet atmosphere, and retired couples traveling around the world. Tourist place too.

However, in recent months, the small town of Bal Harbor seems to have regained its reputation as the most popular resort town in the United States decades ago. The number of tourists arriving here is increasing day by day, which has increased tenfold compared to the same period last year. And most of them are young people. The town sheriff and merchants are both happy and worried: the best holiday season has not really come in summer, and the town has already welcomed so many tourists. This year, most of the residents should have a good income. The worry is that there are more and more tourists every day, but the hotels, restaurants and cafes in the town are fixed. Is there a day when tourists will come to the town, but they can’t find them anywhere? An embarrassing situation where to live?That would be bad for Bar Harbor's reputation.

Considering this, all the residents of the small town of Bar Harbor began to sigh. Of course, they sighed and sighed, and they would never blame the crew of "Blood Together" for bringing all this—on the contrary, they even Thanks to the decision to shoot "Blood Together" in the small town, it was the first time in 50 years that Bar Harbor welcomed such a huge number of media, tourists and photographers within a month.

""Blood Together", a movie that almost catches all the favorite stars of American teenagers is being filmed in the picturesque town of Bar Harbor, Maine! At the same time, it has three titles of starring, screenwriter and producer, and it is in Hollywood William Bradley, whose rising speed is like a rocket, once said that when he conceived the script, the place where the story took place was based on the town of Bal Harbor, because the town of Bal Harbor is ranked among the top in the United States. With its long history, rich culture and beautiful scenery, it is especially suitable as the place where the movie story takes place. The few stills released by the crew at present are the perfect combination of beauty and beauty, which seems to confirm what Will said. False. It is estimated that the filming of "Blood Together" will take nearly three months, and the town of Bal Harbor is not big, so if you come on vacation at this time, you may even meet your idol in a cafe."

The popular entertainment magazine "Entertainment Weekly" with a very high sales volume used a lot of space to describe the beauty of the small town of Bal Harbor when it was doing the feature "Blood Together". The magazine of that month was sold out in just two and a half days. This seemed to be a beginning, and other media followed suit. The long-quiet town of Bal Harbor soon became popular again across the United States.

The name "Resort Bar Harbor Town" has appeared in more newspapers and magazines in recent weeks than in the past few decades combined, and the American "National Geographic Magazine" was affected by the public opinion and decided to publish it in a week's time. Come over for a feature.

The residents of the small town of Bal Harbor even made an appointment to watch the movie at the only movie theater in the town when it was released.

Recently, William has been running back and forth between the crews of "Blood in Love" and "Shakespeare in Love". Except for a public service advertisement shooting and a magazine interview, he has no other work arranged in between. In this way, he often feels that he does not have enough time and energy. Yes, I also made up my mind to play a cameo as a supporting role in the future, but I must not rush to shoot two leading roles at the same time. This kind of work intensity is absolutely inhuman.

Too busy with work, William didn't have much time to pay attention to newspapers and magazines, so when he drove his RV "Spot" slowly into the main street of the small town of Bal Harbor, he was almost taken aback immediately—why was there everywhere? Are all people?

A tall, fat figure in a police uniform ran over from the street in the distance. William didn't know how such a figure managed to run flexibly. In short, within a minute, that figure came to William's RV.It's Mr. Smith, the town sheriff.

Sheriff Smith stood under the "spot", waving his arms and lip-syncing, desperately gesticulating at William.

William opened the car door and went down: "Mr. Smith, good afternoon. What do your gestures mean?"

Sheriff Smith looked desperate: "God, I told you not to get out of the car, drive around and run!"

"Run?" William didn't understand, but he soon understood.

The media cares so much about William. People who often read the newspapers must have known that he has a very cool RV "spot". Most of the tourists in the town are the ones who know this kind of information.

"Will!"

"It's really William Bradley!"

"Live!"

"Oh my god we really waited!"

"Can you sign it? Can you take a photo? I came to Bal Harbor for you!"

"Is Leonardo with you? Is he in the car?"

The tourists on the whole street were shocked. They stared at William intently, eager to try.

William tried to shield himself with the sheriff's massive body, but he failed.
