20、 the school mainly taught language - speaking, reading, dictation - the lessonsalways began with an exercise in politeness. With the entrance of the teacher, the best studentwould tap a bell and everyone would get up, and say in Vietnamese, "How are you, teacher?"The language always made m

36、t has a list ofabout 650 registered extras. Crowd scenes, which are common, call for everyday people of all ages, ethnic backgrounds, and sizes.Over at Movie People , last-minute requests are not unusual. "We got a request once for an entire brass band of 30 people. They wanted it within the ho

37、ur," said manager Yvonne McCartney. Another time, the company got a last-minute request for a newborn baby. "We found a baby that was three weeks premature," said Jonathan Aiken, an owner of the company.Then there was the worried call from a casting director whose "Star" got

38、 doggone stubborn one day and decided to just lie down and not work. The director needed a replacement dog, fast. "We got them two in one hour." said Aiken. "It was a matter of good connections and fast phone work." The eight phone lines needed to make 350 to 400 calls a day are

39、one of Movie People's major expenses.Phone lines are the only way to stay in touch with casting directors and extras; but the latter are a group not necessarily interested in a long-term relationship.

45、 without holding back,shake with fear, yell out in anger, accept and follow your feelings.
