Hollywood Tycoon [US Entertainment + Business War]

"Hey, Jed, are you really determined to add such a character to the script?" David looked at Jed with some doubts.David is considered to be one of the screenwriters who has the best relationship with Jed. Although the two people have different positions in the filming of the work, all the friends around Jed know that David is the real Jed.This is why David wrote two scripts with unsatisfactory ratings one after another, but he is still a senior screenwriter of Dongfeng TV Creative Studio. Some screenwriters privately said that David may be his boss's secret lover.

These gossips naturally put pressure on David's ears. After all, David is aiming at the status of the national gold medal screenwriter, and now he has won a few trophies, but his ratings have not improved.Some people may say that David Kelly has a long way to go, but the problem is that the best screenwriter in the United States naturally has a double harvest in terms of word-of-mouth and ratings.

So David changed his attitude of being too controlling, and handed over the screenwriting work of two TV series "Chicago Hope" and "Warning Fence" one after another, and he was only responsible for the final review.David devoted the rest of his energy to the creation of "The True Colors of a Lawyer".Sure enough, the script was supported by Jed, but it was questioned by other Dongfeng executives. Fortunately, the crew was still formed.

But what surprised David was that Jed, who never liked to intervene in other people's scripts, actually asked to add a heroine to his script.Moreover, there is no intersection of love lines between this heroine and the three male protagonists, and more importantly, this heroine is completely a tough feminist.

"A strong female lawyer with friends who are either murderers or suspected murderers, a single mother, and a daughter obtained through artificial insemination." David looked at the script and shook his head with a wry smile.This is a character he was against joining at first, but was forced into it by Jed.The problem now is that it is almost impossible to find suitable actresses to play such a strong heroine.

"The Screen Actors Union is such a bunch of shit!" Jed angrily threw aside the heroine information provided by the Screen Actors Union.They said they wanted to recruit a female lawyer for the lead role, but the recommended actors were all American sweet girls with blonde hair and blue eyes. ah!"

Although the role of Eleanor Flotte was not originally planned by David, David was also full of affection for the role after Jed's intervention.More importantly, Eleanor Forout is a key role that affects the direction of the plot. If a suitable actor cannot be found, it will be a disaster for "The True Colors of a Lawyer".

David closed his eyes and began to look for some actresses he thought were good in his mind, and soon the image of an actor who played Beatrice Hines in "Law and Order" came to David's mind.Beatrice is not a very important role in the long-lived crime drama "Law and Order". She can be remembered by a screenwriter after only three appearances, which shows that she is by no means an ordinary person.Thinking of this, David called the Screen Actors Union and wanted to know who the actress who played Beatrice was.Soon, the Screen Actors Union reported back that the actress who played Beatrice was named Camryn Mannheim.

She was born in New Jersey but grew up in Illinois.She has an MFA from the State University of New York College of the Arts' graduate acting program, so she's definitely not a simple actress.The Screen Actors Guild also reminded David that Camryn also had excellent performances in "Fairy Asylum" and "Vapor Secret".After thinking about it, David contacted Camryn's agent according to the contact information provided by the Screen Actors Union, hoping to meet and chat about the role.Naturally, the agent would not miss the performance of this TV series, so he quickly agreed for Camryn.After setting the time with Camryn, David told Jed about it.

Jed took a look at the information on Camryn provided by the Screen Actors Union, "It looks good, let's talk about our views on the character."

Camryn is a very ambitious actress who, despite her less-than-ideal looks, has managed to make a name for herself among comedians with her enthusiasm and sense of humor.But she didn't want to limit her play, so she participated in the filming of "Law and Order" and "Vapor Secret Order".Although this TV series and a movie didn't give her much room to play, it still allowed her to improve herself.

She has now accepted the film appointments of "Looking for the True Self" and "Azhu and Ahua". Among them, in "Looking for the True Self", she will play the leading role.But what makes Camryn feel regretful is that "Azhu and Ahua" is a purely restricted comedy, while "Finding Your True Self" is still a romantic comedy. It seems that her image is positioned in a sturdy of female images.

Camryn returned to the hut where she lived, and her agent reminded herself to accept the email in the phone message, because there was an audition invitation waiting for her.

"Do you really think I'm not tired enough?" Camryn complained slightly.But she still turned on the computer obediently. Before she became popular, she would not be too tired to accept as many works as possible.

In the email, my agent reminded me of the interview time and the general role requirements, and there was also a script.Of course, this script is just a script for a certain scene in a certain episode of "The True Colors of a Lawyer", so that Camryn can know what role she will play.Camryn clicked on the script and read it.

Although the content of the script is not much, it quickly outlines the role that Camryn will play very clearly. "This screenwriter is quite good!" After all, Camryn has a degree and has also participated in the filming of several major dramas, so she still has a little vision.

When the appointed time came, Camryn also rushed to the Dongfeng TV building in Burbank.The buildings next to the current Dongfeng Building have all been demolished. According to I.M. Pei’s design, there will be a conjoined Gemini Building, and there will be seven or eight studios nearby, and there will be a three-story parking lot underground. .

The original Dongfeng building will be transformed into a hotel and a shopping mall, and the old studio attached to the original Dongfeng building will be completely demolished and pruned into a private garden belonging to the Dongfeng building.The reason why Jade intends to demolish the old studio is that the United States has already realized high-definition TV technology. According to the current construction speed of the building, when the new studio is completed, high-definition TV technology should be completely commercialized.Jed, who has always claimed to be a leader in technology, naturally built the studio according to the standards suitable for high-definition television technology.

Camryn looked at the designed Twin Stars Building, which is indeed very beautiful, and according to I.M. Pei, it actually embodies an oriental philosophy of "Tai Chi produces two forms".Because although the Double Star Building is as tall as a cloud, the ground floor is connected together.According to Jade's vision, all Sherman Group will work here in the future, and there must be enough video studios and video studios, so the designed building is relatively tall.Of course, compared with the skyscrapers in big cities, the Sherman Twin Stars Building built by Jed is child-level.

Camryn didn't stay at the front door for too long, and soon felt the floor where Dongfeng TV Production Company belonged under the guidance of the reception lady.While waiting for an interview, she also found a black actor muttering at the front door, and Camryn is well aware of the pressure this type of interview puts on a nobody like herself.Every man and woman waiting for an opportunity in Burbank or Hollywood isn't thinking of getting ahead?But how many actors are famous each year?

There are very few actors in the United States who become famous overnight. Even for the kind of actor who seems to be popular suddenly, you can check his resume. In fact, he is not a newcomer.Hundreds of people come here every year looking for opportunities, but in the end most of them don't even get a chance to audition.Either go home dejectedly and live an ordinary life, or go to shoot those adult video tapes or low-budget movies that rely on sex to sell at the box office... If you choose the latter, you may still have a chance to turn around and at least make some money.But the vast majority of people can only dream of Burbank or Hollywood, where there are feasting and feasting, but the most unbelievable thing here is tears.

Camryn was a little distracted, and soon a staff member notified Camryn to go in for an interview.

The interview is the first round of audition. The main creator will talk to you about how you feel about the script and what you think about yourself.Understand some of the actor's thoughts and habits through dialogue, and at the same time determine whether he is suitable for the role.Only through the interview can the real audition.The audition is generally divided into three steps. The first step is to test the basic acting skills of the actors; the second step is to test whether the actors are suitable for the script... If there are still many candidates after the second step, then the director will ask the actors to shoot in real scenes once.Finally, choose from the finished products, because only the you shown on TV is the you that the audience sees.Some people are so bad in front of the camera that they miss the shot at the last step.Fortunately, there are not many actresses suitable for Eleanor. Basically, as long as Camryn can pass the interview and audition, she can definitely win the role.

When Camryn appeared in front of Jed, Jed was very sure that Eleanor was her.Eleanor is a character who is not outstanding in appearance but has a strong personality, and Camryn is at least suitable for this role on the outside.But the problem now is that Camryn is considered a comedian, and Eleanor is a very serious character most of the time, which makes Jed a little unsure.But fortunately, Camryn's performance in the camera was very good, and she played a tough lawyer very well, which also allowed Jed to finally finalize Eleanor's performance list.After Camryn left, Harris came in again to audition for Eugene Young.Since it was the last round of auditions, Jade arranged to shoot directly in front of the camera.Although Harris' performance has not yet met Jed's requirements, he is the best performer among all the audition personnel.Jed thought about it, and had no choice but to agree with Harris to play the role.

With the main actors in place, it was time to shoot the stills.Because Dylan McDermott's appearance is very prominent, almost all of the group photo stills are him in the middle position, and ABC directly selected a still photo of Dylan McDermott as a promotional photo.Jed could only shrug his shoulders. After all, apart from Dylan McDermott, none of the actors he selected were handsome or beautiful...

"This may be the crew with the most special appearance in the entire United States!" "Variety" reported sarcastically.
