[US Entertainment] Superstar

Chapter 11 Hollywood's Clear Rules

A manager is not an artist's babysitter and is not around 24 hours a day.

Eve also enjoyed the treatment of being escorted to the set by her agent on the first day. After that, she took a taxi there by herself for the next two days, and her wallet balance plummeted.

In the United States, having no car is like having no legs, and most places do not have such facilities as buses and subway light rail.

The shooting of the "ByeByeBye" MV went very smoothly. It was originally planned to shoot all the scenes in three days, but it was completed in two and a half days.

Originally, they still had a celebration, but Eve had to give up the audition for "X-Men" the next day.This made her regret for a long time. It is said that many stars will participate, including Britney Spears and Backstreet Boys.

If you want to find a wealthy husband in the entertainment industry, obviously going to this kind of place will have enough interaction with those stars.

But if Eve wanted to become popular in this way, she wouldn't have run away from Keanu Reeves when she was in Las Vegas.Those singers may be short-lived, but Keanu has several long-term meal tickets, so he can't be bad.

How many people can have a chance to do it all over again?She wants to cherish this opportunity and focus on her acting career.

Rookie actors themselves are constantly auditioning, being rejected, and then auditioning.Even if the roles of the "X-Men" crew are basically settled now, she still wants to give it a try.

I don't expect to get a role, but I just want to see what this kind of Hollywood A-level big-production movie audition looks like, so as to accumulate experience for future auditions.

"Young lady, the Fox studio is here. The total is 17 dollars." The Indian driver parked the car at the gate of the studio.

Eve had to take out the fare from her wallet, as there were too many places where she needed to spend money next.I can't live in the school dormitory immediately, and I have to ask the agent to help find a suitable house. The monthly rent is several hundred dollars, let alone buying other things, and the remaining money can't afford a car.

She is not used to overdrawing her credit card, and she doesn't want to ask her family for money. She just wants to find her next job quickly, preferably with a higher salary.

"Hi, you're finally here!" Robert waited for almost 10 minutes under the shade of a tree at the entrance of the studio, and hurriedly greeted Eve after seeing Eve, "Your MV remuneration has arrived, and I've arranged for the account to be credited to you. In the account, go buy a second-hand car, otherwise it will be too troublesome to catch the audition."

"Used car?" Eve never thought about this option, "Won't it suddenly break down after buying it?"

Robert looked at her in surprise, "Of course not. You go to a regular second-hand car company to buy, and some of them will repair it. The price is very low, and a cheaper car can be bought for hundreds of thousands of dollars. When you get it Let’s switch back after the official role.”

The United States is known as a country on wheels, and the second-hand car market is already very developed and perfect.

Eve wrote down this proposal, and when the time comes, grab the agent's young man to buy a car together, so as not to be cheated.

The two quickly put the matter of buying a car behind their heads, and the audition is the most important thing!

"I've already submitted your information, and I've attached two photos of your leather outfits when you were filming the MV. I hope it can be of some help."

Just as they pushed open the glass door of the office building, a brown-haired girl with a height of 1.6 meters [-] rushed out angrily and almost hit Eve.She just hoped that she wouldn't become like this later, it wasn't worth it for a role that was destined not to be obtained.

"This is your non-disclosure agreement and script. They will be handed over to me when they come out later. They are not allowed to be filmed or taken away, otherwise they will be investigated for legal responsibility." A middle-aged black woman with a round figure spoke smoothly, without knowing How many times have I said it.

After briefly browsing the non-disclosure agreement, Eve signed her name, and then walked towards the actor's waiting area, where Robert could only stop.

There were already a number of actresses waiting in the hallway, all young white girls, brown, black, blond, and red.

She sat down in an empty corner, quickly opened the script, and began to memorize the lines.

Eve has an advantage that these girls don't have, that is, she has watched the movie "X-Men" before, and immediately understands the cause and effect of this part of the line, which is more logical than others.

The same sentence has different intonations and rhythms in different situations. If you don’t know the details of the story, you may perform it in another direction, causing the bull’s head to be wrong.

The specific dialogue is definitely not impressive, but the general plot is still clear.Eve quickly understood that this part of the plot was about why Little Rascal left the mutant school. After she accidentally came into contact with Wolverine Logan and almost killed him, Iceman Bob and Little Rascal came to an end. dialogue.

She didn't have time to think about whether the script others got was the same as her own, she just recited the lines, and then began to analyze the mood of the little naughty at this time.

The first must be the panic and fear after getting into trouble, and the second is guilt, wanting to explain his ability clearly.I must have felt uncomfortable when Iceman asked me to leave. I thought I found a home, but it hurt my family and made the rest of my family fear.

In fact, this Iceman is not the deity at all, but the transformation of Mystique, in order to drive away the little naughty, and thus become part of Magneto's plan to control mankind.

Mystique's every word is heartbreaking, and the little rascal can't stand it at all!

Fortunately, there were a lot of people auditioning, otherwise there would be no time for Eve to figure out the mood, tone, movements and demeanor of the little rascal.The corridor is a public place, and she doesn't want to practice here, so she can only rehearse silently in her mind, simulating the audition scene.

Half an hour later, a middle-aged man walked out of the conference room. He glanced at the registration book in his hand and shouted, "Is Eve Campbell there? It's your turn."

"I am coming."

Eve hurriedly followed behind the middle-aged man, opened the door and saw that there were five or six people sitting in the conference room, and one of them was holding a small camera on the opposite side.

These people didn't care who came in at all, and each looked indifferent, as if they owed them millions.

The man in the middle flipped through Eve's empty resume and couldn't help raising his eyebrows: "You dare to audition without acting in a movie?"

Robert had previously notified the photos and identities of these people who were auditioning in advance. In the middle is the producer of the film David Downer, on the left is the casting director Richard Allard, and on his right is the director Brian -Singer, on the far side is the representative of the Screen Actors Union, who is responsible for overseeing the corresponding situation of this audition.

But Eve is not a member of the Screen Actors Union, so the representative would naturally not speak up, but just silently played with the pen in his hand, looking like he was watching a good show.

"Mr. Donner, although I haven't actually acted in a movie, I have received four years of professional film training and teaching at Southern University. I hope that my performance will satisfy you later." Eve said neither humble nor humble, She knew that her disadvantage was lack of shooting experience, and her only MV shooting experience was directly ignored by the bosses.

At this time, the school background can be distinguished from other girls outside.

Bryan Singer originally didn't plan to read Eve's resume, because she was too beautiful, which was inconsistent with the setting of the role of the little rascal, and wanted to find a slightly ordinary, ordinary girl next door.

As a result, after hearing the name of his alma mater, he lowered his head and found the familiar university name in the column of academic qualifications.

"It looks very confident, you start acting." David - Downer said with a smile.

Eve was too familiar with the kind of eyes that fell on her, as if she had found the satisfaction of her favorite prey.

She wasn't too panicked, with so many people present, maybe she would never have the chance to meet again in the future!

The little transparent cameraman stood up, manipulated the machine, and aimed it at Eve.

Unexpectedly, Eve simply sat on the chair at this time, showing his dignified side face in the camera screen.

At this time, the cameraman was still working as a part-time actor. He said in an extremely flat tone: "Little rascal, what did you do? They said you stole the abilities of the other mutants."

The disapproval of the six relatives is too casual, without any tone at all, it is purely coping.

Eve resisted the urge to beat someone, turned her head to look at the camera, and explained again and again: "No, no, it's not stealing, it's borrowing!"

The meanings of these two words are completely different, and she acted out the state of little rascal who is anxious and eager to be understood.In the mutant school, Iceman was the first to show kindness. Little Rascal certainly didn't want to be misunderstood, and hoped to get the approval and understanding of this male student.

The cameraman is simply an expert at breaking the atmosphere. Thanks to Eve's concentration, he was not led astray.Some girls with weak acting skills were taken directly to the Mariana Trench, and their lines were all blunt, let alone showing their emotions and appearance.

"If I were you, I would get out of here."

Hearing the Iceman's words, Eve turned into a little rascal, her lips trembled slightly, her eyes revealed an unbelievable meaning, and a mist gradually emerged.

Crying scenes are something every actor must master. Many audiences think that crying is a good actor.But those who can really hold back their tears are the top people in the industry.Sometimes, not crying is more touching than crying.

Eve is in such a state at the moment. She seems to be integrated with the little rascal. She doesn't believe that the always kind Iceman will make such an opinion. The muscles on her face tremble slightly, and she only spits out a few words: "What do you mean? ?”

The content of the script is not much, and Eve finished acting in about 1 minute.

"Let's stop here, thank you for your performance, and we will notify your agent if there is any news."

The casting director on the far left gave the order to evict the guest with a blank expression.

Eve was a little disappointed. She had rehearsed this performance in her mind for a long time, but unfortunately, she didn't even get any feedback. These people were like wooden piles.

After bowing, she turned around and left.

Unexpectedly, the producer David Downer suddenly said at this time: "Ms. Campbell, I have a party in Beverly Hills tonight. If you have time, you can come to this private party."

Facing the producer's invitation, Eve didn't directly agree. She never expected Hollywood's unspoken rules to appear like this.This is not an unspoken rule, but a clear rule, directly on the table!

Inviting myself to his private party for no reason, the meaning is already obvious.

"Mr. Donner, I'm sorry, tonight happens to be the day of our class's graduation party, so I can't go to your party."

Eve couldn't refuse directly, so she made up a temporary reason to deal with it.

The confirmed director Bryan Singer suddenly said: "Ms. Campbell, remember to say hello to Professor Michael for me, and I will visit him at school after I finish filming this movie. Now let's audition for the next actor."

On the surface, Brian seemed a little heartless, but it was such words that saved Eve from an embarrassing scene and allowed her to leave the conference room quickly.
