Hollywood Domination Chapter 15: Dave’s farewell
Jim did not catch up with Vijay's departure from the company, and Jenny also felt that he would not be able to get the master tape of CSI's performance so smoothly. Relationship, otherwise it is basically impossible. As for Jim's domineering demeanor, one can tell at a glance that he will definitely not have a good relationship with the lower-level crew.
Vejri did not provide a ride, and Jenny did not have a pass, so she had to take a taxi back to the set, tricked the guards into the car with a smiley face, and followed her to the studio to confirm that she was an actress, and then bought it for the guards. Thanks to his accommodation for coffee, she managed to catch up with the make-up and change of clothes after lunch. Naturally, she missed lunch and spent the whole afternoon filming in the vertigo of excessive hunger.
During the shooting interval, Jenny saw Cesare and Jim appearing on the sidelines. pay attention to. She tried to find Dave—she got back in makeup before she could talk to him.
Dave was also in the corner of the set, but he was far away from Cesare and the others, and Jenny didn't know if he did it on purpose. In the middle of one murder scene after another, she really didn't have the heart to think about it.
After receiving a whole episode of scripts, there was an episode in the performing arts space where you could choose, but you didn't watch it as a movie, and you couldn't choose to empathize with Juanita, and even the faces of Nick, Warrick and others were also different. It's all blurry, but it's enough for supporting the play. Jenny has already auditioned several times in the performing arts space, and she is well prepared, so although the afternoon play is not without difficulty, she usually passes it in just a few takes. In many cases, the director takes one more time just to Change the angle to shoot, and then there will be more choices.
Passing through the afternoon filming schedule without incident, all of her scenes have been filmed, and she may be called in for reshoots before the official broadcast. The CBS crew will send a check to Jenny within a month to settle all the remuneration. In short, for Jenny, this shooting can be said to be smooth sailing. In the worrying scene, the two female roles of CSI, Catherine and Sarah, did not have one-on-one scenes with Jenny, and basically did not shoot in the same studio.
After the show, she shook hands with the director and greeted him, thanked him for his support, and accepted his invitation to have dinner together one day. Jenny hesitated, and went to find Dave first. She raised her hand wanting High-five him, "I made it, Dave, my first appearance is over!"
Dave also smiled, "Yes, congratulations!"
Compared with the morning, his attitude has been slightly alienated, Jenny can't help frowning, she just wanted to say something, Jim has already walked over. "Hi Jenny, congratulations, you did a great job."
"Thank you, Jim." Jenny also warmed up to him a lot. No matter what, Jim introduced her to CAA's senior agent after all. "Where is Mr. Vijay?"
"Cesare left two hours ago, he still has a lot of things to deal with." Jim replied, he looked at Dave again, but this time there was no hostility in the morning, but a little sympathy mean. "He said he has a dinner date with you?"
"Oh, yes." Jenny suddenly guessed why Jim felt sympathy for Dave, and she immediately explained to Dave, "We're going to talk about the contract, Dave, you know, no—not that Dating."
While talking, she thought of the Hollywood star, "Oh! I'm sorry, I have to make a phone call. I still have work at night, and now I have to ask them to find someone else to replace me."
She walked to an open space not far away, dialed the number of Hollywood Star, and kept a close eye on Jim and Dave, for fear that they would have any conflicts again, but unexpectedly, the two are quite friendly now. After chatting with Dave for a while, Jim even patted him on the shoulder, but Dave didn't wave it away, but returned it with a slightly bitter smile.
After the call was made, she didn't have the time to observe others, but was busy apologizing to Old John. Johnny sighed repeatedly, but he didn't blame Jenny for anything. Gracefully wish her all the best. "No matter what you are going to be busy with, I wish you the best of luck."
"Thank you, old John," Jenny said sincerely, as she hung up the phone and walked over to the two men, "Now I'm off to remove my make-up and change, and probably take a shower—I'm covered in Corn syrup."
"Go ahead," said Jim quickly, "I'll drop you off at the restaurant, and the time should be right."
"Dave—" Jenny turned to Dave, who gave her a reassuring smile, and he seemed to be in a much better mood again.
"I'll go back first." He said, "See you next time, Jenny."
"Hey." Jenny suddenly felt a little reluctant, she followed Dave and took two steps, "You will go back to Hollywood Star for snacks, right?"
Dave was a little surprised, he looked at Jenny, and suddenly smiled, "Yes, I will go back, don't worry, I have your phone number, do you remember?"
"I remember," Jenny said, she also smiled, and stretched out her hand to make a gesture next to her ear, "If you need anything, just—"
"Callyou/Callme." The two said in unison, then looked at each other and smiled. Dave urged, "Go quickly, don't be late, Cesare is very punctual."
"Even you know him?" Jenny was a little surprised.
Dave shrugged, "Hollywood is small, everyone knows everyone, go, this is really a good opportunity, Lynch and I have confidence in you, you can win this contract .”
Jenny also knew that she should not delay. She gave Dave a hasty smile, turned around and ran to the dressing room, and of course Jim followed.
Her show is over, but no one else has. There are still quite a lot of people in the dressing room. Several extras who have done special effects makeup all come to line up to remove their makeup. But Jim went over and said a few words directly to the makeup artist, and then led Jenny forward, "You don't have time to wait, take off your makeup first."
Jenny is mainly because of the bruised special effects makeup on her shoulders, which cannot be washed off by herself. Of course, this is faster than those extras with wounds on their bodies, but no matter what, there is always a first come, first come, Who knows where to go to work after these impromptu performances? Jenny felt a little uncomfortable immediately, but whether it was Jim, the makeup artist, or even the actors who were waiting in line, they all acted very naturally.
Actually, this is not a rare thing, the main reason is that she has always put herself in the stage of acting in her heart before, but now because she has a relationship with Cesare, she suddenly has special treatment, and she always feels like a dog. ——That's how hatred is brought in. If she doesn't become popular as she wished, what happened today may be the laughing stock of others.
I have done everything, and it would be hypocritical to refuse Jim. Jenny didn't say anything, and cooperated with the makeup artist to quickly remove the makeup, then went to change clothes, without makeup, just like this T-shirt and jeans came out, Jim looked I was very dizzy, "Honey, don't you have any other clothes?"
"Yes, but I don't have time." Jenny said, "What time did Cesare make an appointment? Seven o'clock? It's half past six now. I believe he will accept being late or change the time."
Jim sighed anxiously, "It's seven o'clock, but Cesare has booked Mastro, and you have to wear formal clothes to get in there."
"Then we can only let him wait for a while." Jenny said, "This is his problem, unless I can fly, how can I go to the show at six o'clock, remove my makeup, and then put on at seven o'clock directly?" Dressed in an Italian restaurant?"
"No, it's my problem." Jim slapped the steering wheel hard, "I just stood there all afternoon-I should prepare a dress for you, or just borrow it from the clothing department, really I don't know what I was thinking!"
"Well, I don't know what you're thinking." After saying this, Jenny also felt that Jim was not clever enough. No wonder Cesare said that he was almost an idiot. The business of being a broker is almost all because of people, and people are not smart enough, so nothing can save them. "Let's see, there are still 25 minutes..."
She took a look at the T-shirt she was wearing. Because she was very tired last night, she just grabbed a big T-shirt and ran out today. It is a men's T-shirt that is usually worn as pajamas. It's not too popular skinny pants, this dress will be kicked out in a slightly better restaurant, and I don't wear high heels on my feet, but a pair of flat sandals. Fortunately, the pattern is more formal.
"Go straight to the restaurant," she decided, "don't look at me."
But Jim kept looking at Jenny while driving—because Jenny just took off her clothes in the passenger seat and pulled her T-shirt up to her armpits so unabashedly.
"Is there a pin in the car?" Jenny asked, "Don't look at me, just drive, are you going to cause a car accident?"
"Uh, uh, yes." Jim came back to his senses suddenly, and stammered, "It's in the grid in front of you, look for it."
Jenny rolled the two sleeves tightly around her chest, tucked them into the clothes, and fixed them under the armpits with pins. The big T-shirt immediately became a chic evening dress with bare breasts. , concealed by her skirt, she took off her trousers without revealing herself, let her hair down, and with loafers and a small satchel, she looked almost entirely a glamorous fashion girl.
"OK." She said half-jokingly as she put her underwear and pants on the back seat. "You owe me one - not only because you can avoid being scolded, but also because -"
She waved her hand under the steering wheel, and Jim swallowed sharply. He shook his head in embarrassment, and folded his legs to hide some slight reaction between his legs.
"Whoa," he said, turning the car into a side road. "Okay, no problem, I owe you one."
The car was quiet for a while, and then Jim said, "Wait, no, so what about the fact that I introduced you to Cesare?"
"Isn't this your professional behavior?" Jenny said, "You should ask Mr. Vijay for credit."
She was a little joking, so Jim was not angry, just rolled his eyes, and parked the car in front of a commercial building, "Here, the restaurant is on the sixteenth floor, go up by yourself, and report Chesa's name That's it."
"Aren't you going with me?" Jenny asked.
Jim shook his head, and Jenny couldn't help being a little bit aggrieved for him—he was an agent, but his work seemed to be Cesare's assistant.
"Don't sympathize with me." Jim could see it, "If you want to get a stomach ulcer, the fastest way is to eat at the same table as Cesare-good luck."
The last sentence he said was very sincere. Jenny stared at him for a while, shook her head, got out of the car without a word, and walked quickly into the lobby.
Mastro's waiter seemed suspicious about Jenny's dress, but she didn't say much. When she led Jenny to a table for two by the window, Jenny's heart skipped a beat. not good.
Cesare has been sitting at the table studying the menu, it seems that he has been here for a while. Hearing footsteps approaching, he looked at his watch.
"Five past seven." He said, looking up at Jenny, "You're late, Jenny Jefferson."
Definitely not going to adopt the apologetic tactic that Jim used, Jenny smiled at the waiter and was helped into a seat by her. "I have to say, Mr. Vijay, you have less and less confidence in me."
Cesare tilted his head slightly, motioning for Jenny to continue talking.
"I assume that you have recognized my acting skills when you invited me for dinner." Jenny opened the menu, but her eyes still did not leave Cesare. "This dinner, you will use it to explain what is so special about you as an agent, and why I should choose you as my agent."
She smiled, "According to the shooting schedule, I didn't finish shooting until 6 pm, and it took at least 40 minutes to get here from Beverly Hills during rush hour. I can't fly, Mr. Vijay, My makeup will not be removed automatically. You have a strong sense of time, Mr. Vijay, tell me, how can a qualified agent arrange two schedules so tightly?"
The eyes of the two met over the bronzing menu, the oxygen content seemed to be thinned suddenly, Cesare was expressionless and his eyes were indifferent, while Jenny was smiling and refused to give an inch, a confrontation had already formed.
