The top of fame and fortune [Comprehensive British and American]

Santa Monica, Los Angeles, MGM Studios Headquarters

In the afternoon, California's slender and dazzling light swayed enthusiastically, through the tall glass doors of MGM Pictures, and reflected on her iconic golden roaring lion statue.

Erica was sitting in a limousine that had just parked on the side of the street, surrounded by two young boys, Peter Parker and Harry Osborne, Peter asked her a little anxiously, "Are you sure you don't need my Accompany?"

"Of course, I can handle it on my own. This is just an audition." Erica answered Peter briskly.

Just as her voice fell, Harry Osborn's gentle and polite voice was heard again, "We are waiting for you outside."

Erica looked at the boy with a pair of clear blue eyes, "Harry, didn't you say you were going to visit the biomedical laboratory of Caltech today? Maybe you can go to Pasadena first, and you don't need to stay here to wait."

After Erica decided to attend the "Thelma & Louise" audition last night, she originally planned to go to JFK this morning, buy a ticket for the day, and fly to Hollywood.There are so many flights from New York to Los Angeles that even if purchased on the spur of the moment, the ticket will usually not be lost.

But by coincidence, when she was preparing to leave home this morning, she happened to meet Harry Osborn who came to Parker's house to meet Peter.This surprised Erika a bit. Oxford usually starts the second semester in mid-January, and Harry has delayed returning to school for nearly two weeks.

But Harry didn't talk about it. Instead, after learning about Erica's itinerary, he suggested to her to take Osborne's private flight to Los Angeles.

According to Harry, he came to Parker's house this morning and originally planned to invite Peter to visit the biomedical laboratory of Caltech with him.

For Harry's invitation, Erica didn't seem to have a good reason to refuse, after all, it sounded like a passing thing to him.If Erica refused, it would seem that she was acting too unfamiliar.

In the limousine outside the MGM headquarters, Mr. Peter Parker, who had chatter syndrome, couldn't help nagging to Erica, "You came to the audition, but you were not accompanied by your agent and assistant."

"The work assistant assigned by CAA has stayed on the crew of "The Godfather 3" to assist me in the past month," Erica explained to him, "while the crew is currently returning to the United States, all cast members are allowed to Temporary vacation, of course the assistant should also have the vacation."

And last night, she made a temporary decision to come to Los Angeles to participate in the audition. The audition process does not necessarily require the assistance of an assistant, so Erica does not intend to disturb the rare few days of vacation for the assistant.

As for her agent, Michael Ovitz, the most powerful gentleman in Hollywood, there is no need to attend a small audition for a medium-budget film for her.

Erica looked at Peter. The boy obviously felt that she was being treated coldly by the brokerage company, so she continued, "Mr. Ovitz is not in Los Angeles at the moment, he is in Tokyo, Japan, for the merger of Panasonic and MAC Universal. busy with the case."

In fact, Ovitz dialed Parker's phone last night and dictated a few answering messages, because he rarely found leisure in the busy work of this "merger and acquisition case involving tens of billions of dollars". she explained.

It has to be said that as a newcomer to film, Ovitz has valued Erica enough.But this big man is really busy, and there are always countless important jobs that need to be done at hundreds of millions of dollars.

As far as Erika is concerned, unless she becomes a first-line star occupying the top of the Hollywood pyramid one day, otherwise, her film work will never be the top priority of the agent Ovitz.

To gain more attention, she must have extraordinary influence, at least so far, her strength is far from enough.

Erica pushed the car door open and suggested to Harry and Peter before getting out of the car, "I waited for three hours for the last audition, so I really don't recommend you to stay here and wait for me."

It's a pity that she couldn't convince either of the two boys, the two were looking at her with beautiful fluorescent blue and light brown eyes, looking lethal.

Erika waved her hands helplessly, "Okay, okay, I hope I can finish the audition sooner."

After all, it is impossible for her to be unlucky every time and become the last one to audition.

Erica leaves the limousine and walks into the MGM headquarters, and when she enters the audition department, she finds that in this audition for the heroine Selma, she can really be counted as the last person to audition , At the same time, she is also the first audition.

Because she was the only actress who was invited to audition for Selma today.

The audition waiting area was full of young, handsome but little-known actors.

Erica approached the audition just as she heard the audition assistant call out to the actor, "Brad Pitt—"

She was inevitably surprised by this, and the manager in charge of the audition explained to her, "Today was originally an audition for the male role in "Thelma and Louise", but because director Scott and the screenwriter were stuck Ms. Lee Kerry, I intend to invite you to play the role of Selma, so I communicated with CAA and temporarily arranged you to join today's audition."

Judging from the information revealed in the words of the manager, MGM Studios and the main creative personnel of the film seem to both approve of Erica's role as Selma.

She may even be the main creator of the current "Thelma & Louise" crew. After several twists and turns in casting, after the original roles resigned one after another, she is one of the best candidates.

There is only one step away from successfully obtaining this performance contract.

This is of course due to the popularity of "The Godfather 3" and "Vanity Fair", which brought her a lively reputation.

But the fleeting and temporary fame is not enough for her to get the leading actress—she still has to audition.But like a real well-known actor, he can avoid auditions and get a role easily.

But Erica understands this very well. After all, this is only the second film she may star in. She never thinks that her career can be achieved overnight.

In the audition meeting waiting area, the manager continued to say to Erica, "Please wait for a moment and wait for the actor who just entered the audition meeting to finish the interview. Your audition will be held soon."

"Thank you very much for your thoughtful answer." Erica showed a polite smile, and did not continue to disturb the other party's time.

She sat down on the row bench in the waiting area, flipped out the script and watched it again, although she spent a lot of time remembering it last night, and even replayed it more than once during the flight.

A single seat away from Erica, sat an actor who seemed to have been waiting for a long time.

He has a good appearance and is handsome enough to stand out, but he seems to be a strange face, at least Erica has not watched the film and television works in which he starred.

At this time, the audition assistant held the personal information of all the actors who participated in the audition, walked towards this handsome man, and said to him, "Clooney, your audition needs to be postponed temporarily."

"Okay, thank you for coming to inform me, Miller." Clooney replied politely, as if he had dealt with the audition assistant before.

And the thing that Erica noticed was that she seemed to be the 'culprit' who caused this Mr. Clooney's audition to be postponed.

So she looked at the other party politely, "I'm sorry, I'm afraid it's because of my temporary audition that caused you to encounter delays."

In the process of waiting for the audition, it can almost be called a year, and any unexpected changes are of course not a good thing for the auditioners.

"No, you really don't have to feel sorry," Clooney said politely to Erica.

He laughed at himself, "I didn't have much chance to win the audition. In fact, this is the fifth audition I have done for J.D. You see, the audition assistant and I have almost become friends."

J.D can be regarded as a male character with a heavy role in "Thelma and Louise", with a handsome and sexy appearance.

During the escape journey of Selma and Louise, he appeared as a hitchhiker and claimed that he was a student, and his relationship with Selma gradually became intimate.

But in fact, J.D. is a robber, a street jerk, and stole Thelma's only six thousand dollars, making Thelma and Louis completely lose the travel expenses to escape to Mexico.

For this reason, Louis fell into collapse, and when Selma was desperate, she had to choose to rob the supermarket to raise travel expenses.

Ironically, the way Selma robbed the supermarket with guns was what J.D told her when he seduced Selma.

In the waiting area of ​​the audition, Erica looked at Clooney beside him. At least his current personality seemed to be really not suitable for the role of J.D.

He was unquestionably handsome.But in the script of "Thelma and Louise", J.D is described as a lazy, sexy, uninhibited and handsome man.

But this Mr. Clooney has a certain elite temperament. Compared with a street gangster, he is probably more suitable to play a government official or a business elite.

At this time, the metal door of the audition room was pushed open from the inside, and a blond-haired, blue-eyed actor walked out. He was tall, with very beautiful muscular lines, and looked very sexy and unruly.

When Erica first approached the audition, the audition assistant called out his name—Brad Pitt?

Compared with the elitist Clooney, the blond man's sex appeal seems to make it easier for him to get the role of JD.

But Erika was not interested in paying attention to the actors. She put away the script, got up and walked to the audition room.

Her steps are elegant and sexy, her curvy body curves are more and more swaying, and Erica's expression is full of the confident charm of a modern woman——

She is bound to conquer this audition and convince her interviewers that she will have absolute talent and become the best candidate for the role of "Thelma & Louise."
