英文原版對(duì)話1000個(gè):743 An Actor's Routine
Todd: So, Matt, what's it like working on a TV set or a movie set?
Matt: Well, of course it's different for every movie and every television show. Movies, most of the time, are going to be on location. When they're not, they're in the studio and you're waiting inside in a big studio. Usually Paramount, of Fox or one of those studio lots and you're behind the scenes waiting basically for your scene to be called.
When you get to the movie set in the morning, you give them your role. You check in with wardrobe. Wardrobe gives you your outfit for the day or several outfits depending on the day shoot schedule is like and then you go to make-up, where you get anything: alterations, mustaches, sideburns, wigs, haircuts at some point, sometimes, excuse me.
So you have to do all that preparation the first hour and go quickly. Usually the call times - the time you have to meet - is fairly early in the mornings, six, six-thirty, and they like to start filming anywhere between eight and ten o'clock in the morning. There's an hour for lunch. Usually you film and then you get an hour for lunch and depending on how the day goes, you are there until they finish that scene, or those scenes and usually they can run anytime, anywhere from twelve to sixteen hours.
Todd: Whoa, that's a long day.
Matt: Yeah. And you get paid double time anything over twelve hours, and I've been on sets where we've gone all night and it just depends on the movie or it depends on the television show. They are all different. There are lots of night shoots where you are filming a party scene or you are filming at a club and you show up anywhere from seven to ten in the evening, check in, have dinner and then a lot of times you can sleep on a chair, you know, the stars will be in their trailers. You don't see them unless they're filming but, yeah, it's just a basicly a waiting game.
