super actress

After walking out of the audition room, Rhea didn't speak or even looked gloomy, which made Malloy puzzled and uneasy for a while.

It wasn't until they got to Malloy's car that she broke into a smile, which made her face that had been bleak all the way into a lovely light: "I think, I'm that Lolita."

Malloy opened his mouth and then closed it, Rhea guessed it was a rude "fuck" from the shape of his mouth, but he held back because he didn't want to please her.

"you do this delibrately!"

"I just don't want to reveal it to my competitors." She lifted her face and raised the corners of her lips, which made Malloy stare at her oddly for a moment.

"Okay, last time you were the shortest among all the girls in the audition room, this time you were the longest in it, don't you mind telling me what happened?"

"Just as we guessed before, Mario, the producer used some tricks to make it difficult for me. He asked me to act in this antagonistic scene alone."

The man driving rolled his eyes, "Ha, you're so shameless." No matter how much he hated Andri, he shouldn't make things difficult for a girl.

"Then I performed a part." Rhea deliberately paused for a long time, and she didn't wait until Malloy urged her to say the result, "Adrian asked Jeremy Irons to come and rehearse with me." For the rivalry, he stood next to us and directed it."

Acting it alone, and playing it again with the male actor, no wonder it took so long.

"You must have scared that group of men." Malloy could completely imagine the scene, and he sneered in a strangely experienced tone, "You must have acted very well, so that director can't even wait When it comes time to shoot, you start directing, even if it means embarrassing Mario in person."

God knows how scared Malloy was when he saw Rhea perform before, and he didn't notice that the cigarette between his fingers burned his skin.

At that time, Rhea just played a part of Lolita in front of him according to the plot in the book.

For a moment, Malloy even understood Humbert a little bit, and he was a completely normal guy who only responded to beautiful women with big breasts and ass.

Heck, he thought, he really picked up a damn genius!

It seemed that God wanted him to succeed in this line of work.

"Don't get complacent too early, girl." Malloy emphasized calmly, "Our war hasn't started yet, and the real tough battle will come next."

Knowing that he was talking about the script, Rhea restrained the smile on her face, and nodded seriously, although she couldn't do anything about it, after all, she was just an underage girl now.

The signing, remuneration, script, performance scale and other things can only be coordinated and measured by her agent Malloy.

But that doesn't mean Rhea doesn't have things to do.

In fact, she also had difficulties to overcome: one was that she had to take a leave of absence from school, and the other was that she had to convince her parents to let her play the role.

The former is relatively easy to solve, while the latter... Rhea sighed with difficulty.

"By the way, this is a gift for your successful audition." Malloy called Rhea, and took out a mobile phone wrapped in a ribbon from the car.

Seeing Rhea take it, he twitched the corner of his mouth, "I originally wanted to give it to you when you got the role of Annabelle, but it doesn't seem too late now."

Listening to Malloy say this, Rhea can't help but think back to the audition for this film, from Malloy's careful planning to signing her, and then from auditioning for Annabelle to auditioning for Lolita, no matter which step is full of dramatic twists , It's so emotional.

Thinking about it this way, Rhea couldn't help worrying again: "Maybe I've overestimated my performance, or misunderstood their actions?" She suddenly felt that she seemed too confident just now.

Who would have thought that instead of comforting her, Malloy smiled relaxedly, "Very well, I'm still thinking about how I'm going to hit you, it seems that I don't need to do anything more."

"Relax, Rhea." He shook his head, "Even if Andri kills Mario's father, after seeing your performance, he will endure this hatred, and then use you recommended by Andri, there will be no The producer and the movie can't get along, you are the best, then he will choose you."

After calming down for a while, Rhea turned back to the normal and calm Rhea Noren.She just got out of the role before, so there are still Lolita emotions left.

Although neither the current Rhea nor the dead Rhea is completely different from Lolita, she has strangely gained a certain resonance from this character.

The real Rhea also has no father, and her mother is even worse and even cruel to her.

Receiving those memories and emotions before the age of 12, Rhea found that she had a somewhat different understanding of this role than she once had.

"If you can't convince your parents, just call me." Malloy had already entered his phone number.

"If I say now that this gift is too expensive and I can't accept it, will you think I'm hypocritical?" Rhea asked this question after holding the phone from the 90s over and over for a while.

"No, I just want you to think your brain is broken." Malloy snorted, "It's too slow to contact through parents, and now I don't think I need to treat you as a child, you don't mind Let me put it this way."

Signing a rookie with no acting experience means investing up front and paying off later, and Malloy believes that Rhea is worth his time, money and contacts in the early stage.

Then the first reward this girl gave him was the contract for the heroine of the movie.

"My mom is going to be mad," Rhea murmured. "Daddy's probably going to want to wash my head off and tell me how wrong it is."

—

After struggling for a long time, Rhea failed to answer May's question honestly when she returned home.

"Welcome home! How was the audition?"

"Um... not bad." She raised her hand and stroking her hair, "The director seems to be quite satisfied with me, but I still don't know the final result, we still have to wait for the phone call."

"Okay." When she heard that she had to wait, Maypace showed a disappointed expression, but she soon cheered up again, "As soon as I call, I will tell you."

"The agent gave me a mobile phone, and he thought it would be more convenient to contact me this way." Rhea decided to tell her parents about it first.

As a result, Mei didn't respond, but Ben was very angry: "How could he do this? Then he can bypass us and contact you directly! Then the next step is to find you some illegal jobs without telling us?"

"Dad, this is just to be able to contact me at any time. What if my mother is at home and I am at school? She can't drive to school just to let me get a call." Rhea quickly explained: "I swear, I I will tell you all about the work."

She was a little guilty when she said this, but the professionalism of the actor did not let her down, so neither Ben nor May noticed anything wrong.

The three of them exchanged cell phone numbers and created a family group, much to May's delight.

The night she got home, Rhea's cell phone rang, but the first call that landed on the new phone wasn't from her family or her manager—

It's the producer, Andre Witter.

"I'm sorry, can you say it again?" After answering the phone, Rhea's first reaction when she heard the other party's self-introduction was to hang up the phone, but she remembered that the man was behind the recommendation for her to enter the female lead audition , Rhea endured and did not hang up.

To be honest, she didn't have the slightest liking for Andre Witte from head to toe. Even though they might be tied to the same boat now, Rhea didn't think there was any need for them to communicate in private.

"Miss Nolen." Rhea filled in her resume as Rhea Nolen, which is also the name she intends to use in this circle in the future.

"I think we met at Annabelle's audition, and I'm Andri Witter, the producer of Lolita."

Rhea hated her manager, the man Malloy had given her phone number to.

"Yes, I remember." Rhea reluctantly changed her tone to sound more polite, "Mr. Witter, what can I do?"

"It's my honor to inform you, Miss Nolen, you are the Lolita we finally chose." Even on the phone, Andri had a way of sounding cold and ironic.

This moment destroyed Rhea's entire mood.

She couldn't even bring herself to be happier that she had auditioned, "Oh my god, is this true? Thanks... I really appreciate it." She was trying her best to sound excited.

In fact, this incident should have been notified to her agent, and then Malloy told her.

There was a moment of silence on the other side of the phone, which made the atmosphere even more awkward.

"I know you have a problem with my performance at the audition." Then Andri began to speak again, "But since you finally got the female lead, and I got what I wanted in the production rights of the movie, I Think we're even."

Aware of Rhea's perfunctory, Andre Witter simply made everything clear. He didn't regard Rhea as a girl who didn't know anything, or in other words, it was because she wasn't that the phone call came about.

"Well, Mr Witter, what do you want to tell me?"

"I know you already have an agent." Andri's voice was slow, not sure whether it was for her appetite or to increase her momentum, "but I think you still lack a manager."

He must be joking.

"And I can be your manager."

This is a big joke!

Rhea almost wanted to applaud Andri, because he was able to describe this self-recommendation as a charity, as if it was a great thing that he was willing to be her manager.

Even if Rhea didn't know how powerful Andri's background was and how rich she was, her affection for this man kept dropping.Even if he promised to bring him an Oscar, Rhea didn't want such a man to be her manager.

In Hollywood, agents and managers are two different professions, or in other words, they are the division of rights in two different directions.Brokers can connect actors with jobs and reach favorable deals, while managers design and plan careers for actors, and provide career consultation and advice.

In China, the distinction is not so clear. Both rights are concentrated on the agent. Rhea's former agent was a strong and clear-headed professional woman.

Judging from the classification of Hollywood's power structure, the importance of the agent is greater than that of the manager in the early stage, but in the later stage, the importance of the manager will gradually increase, even surpassing the agent.

When an actor reaches a powerful position of fame and fortune, he no longer needs an agent to contact him for work, what he needs more is a role that can push his status to a higher position, so the power of the manager will be Becomes high.

That's why Rhea is crazy to agree to let this man who has no respect for movies be her manager.

Please!

The manager will also take a cut of her salary, she doesn't want to spend money to take care of a gentleman.Thinking of this, Rhea blamed Malloy even more, and he let her handle this matter by herself.

"Are you really sure? Mr. Witt, I think I'm far from worthy of what you're doing." Rhea thought about the reason for her evasion, "I'm just a newcomer who just started acting, I..."

"You want to reject me, I understand." Andri said it directly, as mercilessly as he himself, "tell me the reason."

He didn't even say "please" this time.

Rhea sighed, "Mr. Witte, do you want to hear the truth or lies?"

It dawned on her that she was only, and fortunately, a 14-year-old American girl now, so she had every right not to make things perfect.

Perhaps, she can even take advantage of this.

"What do you say?"

"Well, first of all, you are too rude." Rhea was finally able to make this accusation, and she felt a lot more comfortable, "Mr. Witt, since you have decided to develop into the film industry, you should respect part here."

"So it's still related to that phone call."

"Would you like to see the audience answering the phone in person while you speak?"

Andry was quick to answer: "It can't happen because I can't give a bad speech and no one will do it in front of me."

"Of course, your acting isn't bad."

The meaning of this sentence is that Andri has a higher status, so he has the right to do so, and Rhea, a weak person, can only accept it, and he has no intention of introspection.

"If you're smart enough, Miss Nolen, you should accept my proposal." Andri continued, "No matter what you think of me, I have proved my ability by making you the heroine."

He spoke as if Rhea had nothing to do with her at all.

This man's arrogance is simply killing people.This can't be called arrogance anymore, Rhea felt that he was supercilious, as if everyone was born to be a head lower than him.

Suppressing her anger, Rhea cleared her throat, "That's why I want to refuse."

"why?"

"Because you invested in this movie, Mr. Witte." Rhea's spirit was highly concentrated, and they finally got to the point, "If you are really smart enough, then you shouldn't invest in this doomed power supply "" Lolita!"

"I'm not only questioning your attitude, I'm also questioning your vision, Mr. Witte."

Hearing the change in Andri's always slow voice, Rhea showed a small vengeful smile in a place he couldn't see. It seemed that she had stabbed Andri Werther's life.

Self-important people tend to care a lot about IQ ratings.

In fact, Rhea herself never imagined that in the end, it was she herself who proposed revisions to the movie script.

The author has something to say:

In fact, that life experience is also designed for this, anyway, it is a novel, please read my compilation ＿(:з」∠)＿
