Blackstone Code Chapter 814: Changes

Life for the next few days is unreal to Nelly, with the entire team and even some parts of the company revolving around her.

There are at least twenty or thirty scripts on the coffee table in her living room filled with scripts about love stories.

Screenwriters come here to tell her what their stories are and what they want to achieve.

She was sitting on the sofa, and the older female assistant next to her cleaned the dead skin on her hands and polished her nails.

The male assistant kept putting some things where they should be, obviously it was winter, and he was sweating profusely, and even bared his teeth to say that he was not tired.

The agent sat on the side with a stern face and discussed some of the next details with the writer and the company's producer, as if discussing the best actress at this year's Federal Film Awards.

Everything is so unreal, everything in the past is like a wrong dream, or everything in the present is like a good dream.

Too unreal.

The female assistant let go of her hand and sat on the other side of her. She raised her arm naturally and gave her hand to the female assistant.

She glanced at the repaired hand, very beautiful.

Is this life?

In the end, at Nellie's own initiative, her salary was reduced to 8,000 yuan, but Fox Pictures put 42,000 yuan into Nellie's salary for the reason of "improving the skills of the actors before shooting". in the account.

The company's public statement was that she was asked to take some dance classes. The money the company paid was actually an excuse to give her the money.

The agent clearly conveyed the company's opinion to her. She can only have a small number in the contract, but she should not be less than a cent.

In a daze, Nelly has become accustomed to this kind of life.

The script was quickly finalized. Nelly chose a script that was pure love and even a little sadistic. Before choosing this script, the agent asked her some taboos, such as whether Lynch would allow her to shoot something like a kiss scene. The plot of the.

In fact, Lynch has no restrictions on this. He never relies on threats or warnings to control anyone, because smart people themselves know how to choose.

If the choice is wrong, it means that it is a fool, and a fool should not stay by Lynch's side.

In the end, Nelly felt that it would be better not to shoot such a script. In the script they chose, the male and female protagonists were always in a state of unrequited love for each other, and they didn't make it clear until the end.

Since there is to be abuse in this play, there must be a third party or a fourth party involved. It needs a supporting actor and a supporting actress with a lot of drama.

As the heroine and core character of the movie, Nellie actually got the opportunity to become an "examiner" during the casting.

After all, the whole production revolves around her, and her satisfaction is the most important thing. People in the company don't want to have a conflict with this inexplicable rising girl because they chose a supporting actress that she doesn't like.

Nellie thought it was very interesting at first. Looking at other people's performances without real objects and reflecting on their own performances from another perspective is a very interesting process, and it can also improve herself.

But she felt a little bored looking at it. She didn't say anything, leaving the choice to professional directors and producers.

Just when her mind was already deserting, the sound of the door closing alarmed her.

She hurriedly lowered her head to sort out the materials in front of her, turned a page, and her gaze that should have passed by, stopped for a moment on this page of the girl's photo.

Immediately afterwards, she heard a familiar voice ringing in the room, "Hello everyone, I'm an audition actor who came to participate in the ... project supporting actress, and was recommended by Mr. ..."

Nellie raised her head and looked at the girl in the room, who also saw Nellie.

The girl's expression suddenly had some surprises, and she quickly controlled it, as if nothing had happened, and performed a segment according to the director's request.

As she leaves, she makes a waiting gesture that she will wait for Nelly.

"You know her?", the producer discovered the little secret between the two girls right away.

Nellie didn't deny it, "She used to be my roommate."

The producer nodded and said nothing, but he was clearly paying attention to the girl.

After trying all the girls today, Nellie left early, and the producers and directors were re-watching the casting footage, continuing to shrink the number of people they already had, looking for their ideal person. .

Meanwhile, Nelly, who leaves the casting office, soon sees her former roommate in the car outside the company.

She was driving a car costing seven or eight thousand dollars. When she saw Nelly at this time, she took the initiative to wave.

"I know there's a cafe next to me, where should I go to sit?" The girl looked at Nellie, and after Nellie nodded, she breathed a sigh of relief.

The two did not drive, the cafe was not far away, they walked, so they would have more time.

The two of them thought they would have a lot to say after this meeting, but when they actually walked on the road, they found that they didn't know what to say.

After walking for a while, the girl smiled and said, "I almost forgot to congratulate you, you are the heroine of this film, right?"

Nellie nodded, "I'm lucky, how about you?"

The girl shrugged her shoulders pretentiously, "What else can I do? It's almost the same as before. I'm looking for a cast to audition everywhere. I'm lucky to be able to play a supporting role, but there are more times when I'm unlucky."

Her eyes flicker a bit, she's not actually telling the truth, and now she's doing senior calling while auditioning around.

Because among the movies that can be found on the federal market, there are indeed movies she participated in, whether it is a supporting role or not, at least the identity of an "actor" cannot escape.

For those rich people who are just rich or not rich enough, actors, hosts, announcers, these roles are full of great temptation.

The price given by each customer is very high. The girl said that she can earn one or two thousand yuan each time she picks up a job. Sometimes it is a little wild, and three or five thousand yuan is not a big problem.

She used the money to continue to fulfill her original dream of coming to Laltimore for herself, and the by-product of the process of realizing her dream could increase her worth.

Sometimes she doesn't know herself, she is trying so hard to audition everywhere, does she really want to become a star, or does she want to raise her worth so that she can sell more money?

It's only today that she saw something that touched her heart when she saw the former roommate sitting on the audition bench.

She has almost given up on her ideals, but someone has achieved her own future, which makes her very emotional.

Suddenly, she thought why couldn't she truly pursue the purest, original dream in her heart?

I want to be an actor!

The most emotional thing is always the current self and the previous self. Maybe the past self was stupid, but that is always the best look in my heart.

The two walked into the cafe, sat down and ordered two cups of coffee.

They talked about funny things that happened in the shared room, about the other girl, and they all seemed to be avoiding certain things, which also made their conversation enjoyable.

At the end, the girl pulled her hair around her ear, and could see that she was a beautiful girl, she reached out and grabbed Nellie's hand and said softly, "I want this character, can you help me? "

Nellie actually had this hunch for a long time, and when the girl opened her mouth, she didn't know why she breathed a sigh of relief, "I don't know if I can help you, you know, the producer and director are the real ones. The one who makes the decision."

"It doesn't matter, as long as you help me and tell them, I will be grateful to you if you can choose me in the end."

The girl looked at her sincerely, "I know that some things I did in the past will make you feel... but I want to say that the desire to pursue my dreams has never been extinguished in me!"

Maybe it was this sentence that touched her, maybe it was some other ego, and she finally nodded, "I'll tell them, but I don't promise it'll work."

"Thank you, thank you..."

In the evening, after the agent sent off the two assistants, he looked at Nellie, which made Nellie feel a little pressure for no reason.

"What's wrong?" She looked down at herself, but didn't find anything wrong with her.

"I discussed it at the company and the production department this afternoon, and we have a new idea."

"If we were to approach your first play from a commercial perspective, it wouldn't have worked out very well, to be honest."

"You don't have much fame, so it's hard for the audience to walk into the cinema spontaneously, and the audience for romantic films is not very large, so the box office may not be very good."

"We plan to change the way of filming~IndoMTL.com~ use this movie to shock you with a Rookie of the Year Award!"

This was also the decision of the company as a whole, they watched some of Nelly's previous tapes, Nelly was no different from most girls who struggled in Laltimore, to say how shocking her performance was, it was Bullshit.

At most, it is above the passing line, and there is still a little distance from excellent.

At this level, even if you find a big-name actor, you can't bring her. It's better to use this movie to train her well, hone her acting skills, and hit the trophy by the way.

As we all know, in all large-scale competitions, what really determines who can win the first place is definitely not professional quality, but public relations and operations.

Plus Fox's director and operations department was also considering trying to get some awards in preparation for the launch, so they changed their shooting schedule.

The script in Nellie's hands is not the only one. The company will launch at least five films in the future, with all efforts to impact major awards.

Nellie was a little dazed and a little unsure, "Do I really have a chance? I know my performance is not very good. I think it's too difficult."

The agent nodded, and she was still a good girl if she could recognize her own shortcomings. "So we need your friend, your friend during the audition in the afternoon."

Nellie was puzzled, "Why do you need her?"

Originally, she planned to say something nice to her former roommate, but now she has some inexplicable resistance.
