[US Entertainment] Superstar

Chapter 12 Eve's Choice

Eve really didn't expect such a bloody thing to happen in her first audition in Hollywood. She passed by another girl who was full of longing.

The status of new actors is too low, regardless of gender, may encounter such a situation.However, it is another shortcut. If you want to become famous quickly and play an important role, the only thing actors can offer is their own body.

Let alone newcomers, even famous actors cannot escape such clear rules.Hollywood bigwigs will not pay you three points for becoming famous, but will find it more challenging and exciting, which can be their talking point.

As soon as Eve walked out of the audition area, the manager Robert looked over expectantly.

"How was the audition? Did the judges say anything?"

In fact, he had already quietly communicated with the company, and a copy of Eve's audition video will be sent over in the afternoon.This is the benefit of having people in the crew, even CAA's agent is much more convenient to do things.

Eve squeezed out a smile, "Let's talk about it in the car, it's not convenient here."

Robert instantly realized that something was wrong, he nodded quickly, this is not the place to talk.

After driving out of the garage, Eve, who was in the co-pilot position, told what happened just now. She knew that her excuse was poor, so she could only come up with such a flawed excuse in a hurry.

Anyway, I am not a heartthrob, not an indispensable candidate.

Robert sighed, "Eve, you will encounter this kind of thing a lot in the future. If there is a red sofa in the audition room, you can refuse. Any requests for meetings and auditions in the hotel must be cautious." Some, these people talk nonsense, and it is difficult to keep what they promise. He can promise to you, or to other young girls, and he can go back on signing the contract, not to mention staying on his lips."

He hasn't had time to teach Eve the experience of how to protect himself in Hollywood, because he used to bring male actors, basically he didn't need these, and male actors would be much less likely to encounter similar situations.

This is the unspoken rule of the entire entertainment industry.Eve was unwilling to accept it in her previous life, and she was even more unwilling to accept it in this life!She didn't believe it anymore, if she didn't accept the unspoken rules, she couldn't act!

"Eve, there is no one around now, you can tell me what you really think. If there is an opportunity to play an important role, would you choose to grab it or let it go?"

"It must be caught."

"Very well. What if taking this opportunity required you to sacrifice your body? Would you still be willing?"

"Do not."

Eve shook her head resolutely. She is a standard face control. If the other party is not good enough, she can say nothing or do nothing.

Robert smiled: "I hope you can answer with such confidence in a few years."

Most of the newcomers are like Eve at the beginning, and they will not accept Hollywood's clear rules at all.But after staying in this Vanity Fair for a few years, all the edges and corners of my body were smoothed out, I couldn't get a role, I couldn't act in a play, it was quite tortured.

Coupled with the fact that someone or a few people who used to know climbed onto the bed of the producer or director and became famous through this method, why can you be popular while I even have a problem with the monthly rent?The line of defense in my heart will slowly loosen and disintegrate, swallowing back the loud words a few years ago.

Hundreds of thousands of actors in Hollywood are waiting for the opportunity. Some of them can only go home if they can't stand it anymore.

Everyone has different traces of fate, and the family background behind them is also different, and the results may vary widely.Actors do need some hard skills, but these hard skills don't have to be him.

There is a saying in Hollywood that no actor is irreplaceable.There are too many examples of success with one character, and the possibility of becoming popular is very high.Without a suitable opportunity, no matter how good the acting skills are, they cannot be presented in front of the audience. That's why some people want to get a chance to soar through crooked ways.

Robert is still a conscientious agent, he did not encourage the contracted actors to follow the unspoken rules of no return, but gave the choice to the actors themselves.Whether she accepts it or not, that is her own business.

Eve turned her head to look at the scenery passing by outside the window, and the haze in her heart gradually dissipated: "I am eager to get the opportunity to act, but not by selling my body. Robert, can you help me find the next crew? It is estimated that " X-Men doesn't stand a chance."

Previously, she thought that Robert would persuade herself to accept it. If she really said that, it would be necessary to change a manager.If the actor and the agent are not of the same mind, how can it be possible to continue walking hand in hand?

Robert now only has Eve as a contracted actor, so all his energy is naturally focused on her, "Remember the horror movie I told you earlier? New Line Films has found a director, a Chinese named James Huang , The name of the movie has been exposed, it is called "Desperate Terminal". If you have nothing to do now, watch more horror movies, and remember to review his "X-Files."

""Desperate Terminal"?" Eve frowned and thought hard. In her previous life, she was not interested in Hollywood horror movies. She only knew the most famous ones, but this one was not included.

Even if the box office doesn't hit the street, it's not too ideal.

She doesn't have the capital to pick and choose now. She doesn't know if she can enter the second round of auditions. It's too far away to worry about the box office. Acting is enough.

It's just that the identity of the director surprised her. It's actually a Chinese film director, which is as rare as giant pandas in Hollywood!She silently kept this name in her heart, and planned to search for relevant information on Yahoo when she went back. Her body also had one-eighth of Chinese blood, but it was hard to tell from the outside.

Hollywood looks very open on the surface, but in fact it is very exclusive.In Eve's memory, few actors were famous, but the director did well.

There are not only big directors like Woo Yusen and Ang Lee, but also Lin Yibin of the "Fast and Furious" series, Wen Ziren of "Aquaman" and "Saw".

What troubled Eve was that she couldn't compare the English name with the Chinese name, and she didn't know who James Huang was.

"Robert, I plan to move out of the student dormitory to live alone. Can you help me find a suitable and reliable apartment? Then I plan to buy a cheaper second-hand car, furniture and most importantly, a DVD player."

The saved money plus the remuneration for the next MV will cost me nothing, basically I can only buy second-hand goods.If she can save a little, she also plans to buy a computer, otherwise she will have to go to a convenience store to borrow a computer, which is quite inconvenient.

"You are very lucky. The last actor I signed was very willful and ran back to Montana to inherit the family's ranch, but his rent has not yet expired. You can go and have a look now. If it is suitable, you can stay for half a month Then renew the lease with the landlord.”

"Can I live for free for half a month?" Eve's eyes lit up. She had racked her brains for the rent, and she almost went to work part-time.If you can't get an actor's play, go see if you can work as a director's assistant in the crew, so that you can get in touch with the crew and earn wages, which can be regarded as saving the country by curve.

Robert nodded, "He paid the rent for three months in one go, and it will not be due until August. It is very close to the studios of various studios, and the surrounding life services are also complete. Most of the people who live here are new actors who come to Hollywood. .”

"Thank you so much!" Eve was not afraid of the harsh living environment at all. In her previous life, she lived in a six-person youth hostel for three months, and then rented a single-room package with a little sister from Beidiao.

It's perfect to have a solo apartment after coming from hard times.

Robert finally saw Eve showing a comfortable smile, and he was secretly relieved, at least he could save the consultation fee of the psychologist.

After a few minutes of driving, you will arrive at West Hollywood, which is a civilian area of ​​Los Angeles. The streets are full of graffiti, but the law and order look pretty good, and you can see police patrolling from time to time.

The room was located on the third floor. Robert took out the key and opened the door. There was a smell of rotten food and dust inside.

Eve walked in and took a look. Except for a bed, a wardrobe, and a desk with bookshelves, the room was empty.There is no living room or bedroom at all, just this one room.Fortunately, there are still kitchens and bathrooms, which are too big for actors who have just arrived in Hollywood.

"Seven hundred dollars a month, including water and electricity bills, winter heating bills are paid separately, and the laundry room is downstairs."

"Thank you, let's go here." Eve rolled up her sleeves, tore off the bed sheet and used it as a trash can, throwing the things on the ground and the sink on it.

Robert put the key at the door, and he urged, "Keep your phone connected at all times, and we will go shopping for a second-hand car tomorrow."

"No problem, I'll clean up here first. See you tomorrow!"

In the following time, Eve cleaned the [-]-square-meter room by herself, inside and out, and the dull air in the room was also replaced.

Although she was extremely tired, she was extremely satisfied, and finally had a foothold!

"Finally finished packing. I can move slowly by myself after I buy a car tomorrow."

Eve sat at the desk and began to look forward to her future life.

Except for some setbacks during the audition today, everything is moving in a better and better direction.

She had already predicted that her next audition might not go well. When she stepped into the sky and signed with CAA, she surpassed 99% of Hollywood newcomers. They were working hard for a secondary role, but with the help of her agent, she went straight to the audition hostess.

Without a backstage and no previous acting experience, it is really difficult to play the heroine in one step.

It's not that Eve doesn't want to play a supporting role, it's that Robert just happened to meet the auditions of these two heroines. The opportunity is right in front of him. He knows that the chance of being selected is less than [-]%, but he still wants to give it a try. In case a miracle happens too!

The author has something to say: Wow, Kaka, this book has gone through many difficulties and obstacles, and finally signed the contract.
