Hollywood Domination Chapter 12: Crazy Stranger

Actually, with this film contract, Jenny can at least not have to work two jobs during the day and night. Waiters are an industry that changes and changes. It is enough to find a part-time job temporarily to help. With Jenny's looks and popularity, it's impossible for Johnny to fire her just because she took a week off.

But she still insisted on working the night shift, the main reason was not for the salary, not even to make it difficult for Johnny, but...

In the second scene in the interrogation room, George also had a problem of forgetting his words to a certain extent. It was already past five o'clock after the scene ended. Jenny took off her make-up and changed her clothes, and Dave hurriedly drove her to the restaurant. She was already two hours late, but Johnny didn't blame her for anything. Instead, she told her that there was nothing wrong with being two hours late, and that she could leave early when there were fewer people, but correspondingly, her basic salary was cut in half .

Jenny has no objection to this, she somewhat misjudged the degree of exhaustion from filming, in the performing arts space, she never felt the most exhausted. At most, there is only mental fatigue caused by continuous filming. Although she only filmed two scenes today, she did not expect that she could not rest during the waiting period. In order to keep the dress from wrinkling, she even worked harder than serving in the restaurant. tired.

There was another six-hour shift. In the end, Jenny almost used her willpower to support her. After the busiest time for supper, she immediately greeted Johnny and got off work.

Dave had been waiting for her in the dining room and refused to leave no matter how much she insisted. Instead of letting Jenny walk home, he drove her downstairs.

Jenny was so tired that she fell asleep in the car, and woke up when the car stopped. "Are you here?"

"It's here." Dave said, looking at her gently, "Go up and rest, you have to get up early tomorrow - I'll pick you up and have breakfast together."

This is why Jenny needs to work the night shift, if there is no night shift, Dave will take her to dinner, and then everything will take its course, there is nothing she can do to prevent Dave from confessing without hurting Dave , and she didn't want to reject Dave now.

If this is being used, she can admit it frankly. How could a girl with nothing want to be in Hollywood without doing something wrong? Jenny is sticking to her bottom line, she doesn't want to sleep with Dave, not only because she has no interest in selling her body, but also because it is an insult to Dave's character - if he is that kind Mimi's producer obviously aimed at her beauty, she didn't mind hanging on to him nonchalantly, and kicking him off after gaining enough benefits for herself would not have any psychological burden. It was because Dave was so sincere to her that she kept avoiding the moment of trying to see each other, not only because she needed Dave as a friend, but also because she didn't want to hurt her.

What can make her feel at ease is that she actually still likes Dave very much—after her ex-husband, Chen Zhen has no obsession with being rich and handsome. The perfect man who is billionaire, handsome, gentle and considerate. It turns out later that the essence of a person has nothing to do with whether he is rich or handsome. Dave is hardworking and genuine, with a shy personality followed by a bit of clumsy humor, and if it weren't for the uniqueness of her situation, she really wouldn't mind moving on with him.

But now she doesn't have the time, Chen Zhen really doesn't have the time, for a girl whose goal is to be at the pinnacle of Hollywood, the relationship with Dave will be a huge waste.

Jenny was sleepy at this time, and she didn't have any extra energy to feel guilty. She thanked Dave, then staggered up to the fourth floor, and fell asleep on the bed without taking a shower after entering the door.

The next morning, Dave really came to pick her up and went to have breakfast with her. Sitting in the breakfast shop, smelling the delicious aroma of sugar oil, seeing the customers' teeth sinking into the donuts happily, and The oily, salty taste of bacon and fried eggs made Jenny's stomach a burning ache. Thinking of the more than ten hours of filming in front of her, and the six-hour shift at night, she really has a strong and hungry desire to eat even a bite of high-sugar and high-salt cake, no matter how flavorful it is To be mediocre is to taste the sweetness of happiness and the fragrance of starch——

"Black coffee, a chicken salad, no sauce," she finally ordered her old collocation, but added after some hesitation, "Give me half a portion of vinaigrette, thank you."

Dave ordered bacon and fried eggs, a chocolate muffin with mocha coffee, and orange juice. Jenny stared at his breakfast and really, really began to understand why big stars usually had bad tempers.

But she can't eat more, because of filming and going to work, she didn't exercise at all yesterday, which is already a loss to the muscles, if she eats food with excess calories, it will be a disaster.

"Would you like a bite?" Dave asked, perhaps sensing her expression, as the muffins were served.

Rejecting a bite of the muffin is actually a lot harder than refusing Dave's future courtship.

Jenny closed her eyes and said with great difficulty, "No, thank you."

Filming on the set is not what many laymen think. Everything is shot in chronological order, because it is indoor shooting, and most of the setting is related to the setting. The CSI crew uses the set as the unit of shooting. The scene of the party' filmed a few scenes, and also finished filming the interrogation room. Today's scene is at the shooting scene of Juanita's fashion stills, and the shooting time spans several rival scenes. Most of Nick, played by George, plays opposite her, with the actress barely appearing.

This also relieved Jenny: To be honest, after Dave's warning yesterday, she was still worried about some bullying incidents on the set. When the two of them were in the trailer yesterday, Dave also told her a lot of rules on the set. On the set of this kind of series, the main actors are like princes and sons of princes. Unless they offend the superior screenwriter and producer, otherwise Even the director can do Bully at will, let alone a small cameo, unless she is impatient, otherwise even if she is bullied in front of everyone, others will ignore it, lest she lose her job .

Fortunately, there are only two women in the main actors of CSI, and they are not beautiful, but more professional. She doesn't have a cold either. Gary Warren, who was so sexual to her, didn't even have a scene with her, and Gary was also shooting green screen scenes in the next studio while they were filming. So whether it is bullying from actresses or harassment from actors, it is not an issue that Jenny has to consider now.

In addition, George may have adjusted his acting method after returning yesterday. Today's filming progress is much smoother than yesterday. Nick was fascinated by Juanita, but he tried to maintain his reserve and dignity. Hua Ni Ta is like a cat playing with a mouse to Nick, and Nick's addiction and struggles make her feel very funny. ——Once this tension-filled relationship is performed and the tone is set, all that remains is to memorize the lines, and neither of them will have any problems with this.

In the afternoon, she was called to the green screen room to shoot some solo scenes, which was easier for Jenny, plus she changed her costume, which was not so close-fitting, and she could be more casual during the break, without being afraid of clothes wrinkled. So although the shooting time is very full, the overall feeling is more relaxed than yesterday, and I feel that I am gradually adapting to this atmosphere. ——Although the performing arts space can simulate a very real set, there is a gap between simulation and reality.

It was also on this day that the studio staff began to express their interest in being friends with her, including Emma Swan. She came over to sit with Jenny and Dave during lunch, and even pulled Lynch, After introducing each other, we exchanged phone numbers with Jenny.

On the third day, George invited her to the party, and Jenny told him that she had to work in the restaurant at night and had no time. George was very sorry. And Jenny realized that this should be a good performance, and there are many people who want to be Emma Swan.

In other words, they are all optimistic about her performance in Hollywood in the future, so they invest in their friendship now. In Hollywood, relationship is sometimes more important than ability, which should be the instinct of almost all insiders.

But Jenny didn't indulge in socializing because of that, yes, everyone wanted to be friends with an actress who might have a bright future. But for an actress, friends who can make her go further are more worthy of investment.

After all, it was only an episode of a series, and the filming went smoothly. By the fifth day, Jenny's role was basically over. These two days, her role was also very heavy, because the scene of the murder was designed. There are a lot of murder scenes to be filmed, as well as the audition scene where Nick and Juanita's final dialogue in the episode was scheduled for this day.

Based on makeup considerations, the filming was reversed, that is, the last dialogue was placed in the first scene. George closed his eyes to prepare himself mentally before filming started, "You can do it, you absolutely can't. I will forget the words again."

Jenny couldn't help laughing, "Is it really that exaggerated?"

"Don't you feel it yourself?" George said earnestly, "You were a different person when you were on the show, that temperament—I don't know what to say, I can only say, it's a good thing you're off the show It's a completely different performance."

Jenny did not answer George's question, but interjected, "Speaking of which, do you like Marilyn Monroe very much?"

George was a little confused, but he still replied, "Yeah? I'm an absolute fan of hers. I've watched The Seven-Year Itch many times. Although it's a bit outdated now, her charm overwhelms everything else."

Okay, now I understand why George is the only one who is so obsessed that he can even forget his lines, while others think that she acts very well at most. Jenny said, "I also like her very much, so I imitated some of her little moves in the play, maybe you think I am very charming in the play because of that."

George suddenly realized, "So it is."

He asked again, "Are you sure this is your first time acting? Have you ever had acting experience before?"

Jenny immediately thought of the four years of acting classes, countless practice in the performing arts space...

"No." She said firmly, "I really don't know how well I act."

"You don't know how you act, hehehe." George seemed to have heard some big joke, "Please, don't you really know why Emma and the others are so enthusiastic about you?"

"Okay, it might be a bit hypocritical to keep pretending." Jenny also shrugged her shoulders, half-truthfully said, "but I really don't know why, I mean, my next role doesn't know where Where?"

"Sometimes you have to be a little bit patient," George said, "remember my party invitations - it's always valid, I think it's two more months, by the time the first episode comes out, your phone will definitely be ringing Yeah, don't forget about me then. After that, you'll definitely be free for the party."

This is the same thinking as Jenny, she also felt that her career turning point should appear after the broadcast of CSI201.

Seeing that the cameras were probably in place and the director could call 'Action' at any time, she suddenly felt a bit mischievous, and called out "A Week with Monroe" in her heart, and chose the character to empathize with ease.

"Hey, baby." Jenny lowered her voice, rolled her eyes, and glanced at George with a half-smile, "Don't think I'll forget your invitation so easily."

George's stunned expression succeeded in pleasing her. She relieved her empathy and bent down to laugh. George blushed and punched Jenny, "You are really bad."

Hearing the field manager shouting to clear the field, and then stepped forward to hit the board, the two quickly adjusted their emotions and expressions, and returned to a professional performance state.

In the last rivalry scene, the tension between Juanita and Nick was strong, and they fired at each other. Nick turned from defense to offense for the first time, and grabbed some initiative in front of Juanita, which made her feel a little bit of a sense of crisis. This is also a scene with a lot of lines. However, it may be because of the joke made by Jenny and George, but his mentality is very relaxed. He almost passed it once. Instead, the director took it several times for the effect. After the filming, everyone seemed to have settled their worries and breathed a sigh of relief.

After this scene, there was a scene where the CSI team was going to investigate first. Jenny was fine until lunch. When she happily looked for Dave in the crowd, she found Dave and Lynch standing next to each other. In the corner of the set, he and the third person seemed to be arguing about something.

She quickly picked up the skirt and walked over, "Guys, what happened?"

When she got closer, she realized that the third man was the middle-aged man she had seen on the day she tried on makeup for the producer. He was bald and fat, and had a prominent birthmark on his temple, so Jenny remembered it very well. That day he was looking at her at the end of the corridor. Judging from his expression, he was completely fascinated by her, and she was also amused, so he couldn't help but smile at him.

Uh, maybe it's because she is very interested in her, so I came to see her filming specially, and planned to come up to strike up a conversation after the filming, and spend money to get close to her or something? Jenny was taken aback by her own thoughts, but she also knew that it was possible. After all... To be honest, she is very beautiful and young, and these two points are enough to attract people at any time.

But even if he had this intention, how did Dave know? What are the three of them arguing about? Could it be Dave trying to kick him out? Jenny couldn't help but feel a little headache: Great, this is what she needs, and the first job ushered in jealousy on the set.

Seeing her approaching, the voice of the third person got louder, "Lynch, this girl doesn't have an agent, she's free now, I can talk to her by myself - I can't see your friend has What position prevents it."

He glanced at Jenny, and then said fiercely to Dave, "If it's for her own good, there's no need to stop it!"

Dave seemed to have been hit hard, and there was pain on his face.

"What the **** happened?" Jenny asked in a daze. She walked up to Dave, "Hey, are you okay?"

Dave shook his head and showed a frustrated smile. He hesitated for a while, and actually took the initiative to introduce to Jenny, "Jenny, this is Jim Davidson."

"Jenny Jane Jefferson." Jenny stretched out her hand and shook Jim, "I remember you, we met the day I came to try on makeup."

"Yes." Jim glared at Dave again, he straightened his suit, as if trying to make himself tidy, "I'll make sure with you, you don't have an agent yet, do you?"

"Yes." Jenny was at a loss. "Excuse me?"

"Okay," Jim's eyes lit up, and he interrupted her involuntarily. "Come with me now, Cesare is going to the east bank in the afternoon, we only have three hours."

"Cesare? I—" Jenny was a little frightened by his enthusiasm, and she reflexively leaned towards Dave. But Lynch took a step forward and put his arms around her shoulders.

"This is your chance," he said. "There's no time to explain now. Jim is a believable man. Jenny, you don't know what kind of opportunity you've got. I'll just say, Take your chance, Gogetit, understand? Now you go with him, just come back before lunch, and I will explain to the crew."

Jennie looked back at Dave in a hurry. Dave was still standing there. Seeing the look in her eyes, he showed a forced smile and nodded to her.

But Jim had already trotted and disappeared. After a while, he drove a Porsche 911 to the gate of the studio and shouted anxiously, "Get in the car."

Jenny looked back again. Lynch and Dave had already stood together, and both gestured to her to go quickly. Lynch even clenched his fist at her, signaling her to cheer up.

She took a deep breath, lifted the hem of her skirt, walked through the scorching California sun, and got into the sports car.

"Where are we going?" she asked, putting on her seat belt.

Jim glanced at her. He was obviously very excited. Once he was sure that Jenny had fastened his seat belt, he immediately started the engine, and then he whispered a few words.

"Century City, CAA Headquarters."

The sports car popped out like an arrow and quickly disappeared at the end of the asphalt road.
