Hollywood Domination Chapter 5: Scheming

Dave Jensen, when Jenny Jane noticed him, he had been visiting Hollywood Star for three consecutive days. Arrive at 2 o'clock every afternoon, drink a cup of coffee, make a few phone calls, sometimes take out a few documents to look at, and then disappear into the building opposite the Hollywood Star.

He's probably in his thirties, he's already starting to bald, he's a little fat, and he dresses casually, always in a jacket and flannel pants of different styles, looking like a down-and-out agent that can be seen everywhere in Hollywood Jessica, the Hollywood star's other head waitress, was not impressed because Dave had tried clumsily to flirt with her but was rejected. She refused without mercy.

Jenny Jane talked to Jessica about him once.

It was their rest time. Jessica went into the alley to smoke, and Jenny Jane followed. Jessica handed her a cigarette, and Jenny played with it in her hand, but she didn't smoke.

"It should be a little agent who came to fight for a role for his actor." Jessica blew out smoke rings, and nodded her chin at the six-story building across the street. There was a hint of envy in her tone, of course Not without jealousy, "Recently, the other side has made big moves again, and there are a lot of **** coming in and out."

In Los Angeles, the performing arts industry is a major pillar of the economy. The office building opposite the Hollywood Star is rented by Time Warner's TV drama production department. It is quite lively, and the business of Hollywood stars will also usher in a small peak at this time.

A specific time generally refers to the pre-production stage of a new drama series. Generally speaking, the pre-production work for the fall American TV series will be carried out between May and June. After the script outline has passed the high-level review, the production department will start To form a crew, in addition to most of the lead roles that have already been found, there will be many secondary roles that need to be auditioned. The location where Hollywood Star is located is quite close to Hollywood, but the rent is relatively cheap. Renting an office building here for auditions is quite cost-effective high.

"It's time for the audition." Jenny said simply, putting the cigarette in her pocket, "Aren't you going to try your luck?"

The reason why Jessica succumbed to the Hollywood star was because it was very close to the audition site for Time Warner, and she regarded it as the starting point of her career. However, she has been working here for a year, and apart from sleeping with a few security guards across the street, she has not been able to catch up with any person in charge of the casting department.

If you don’t have a person in charge, you can’t enter the selection range of any casting director. If you go directly to submit your resume and try to audition for the king, you will only be kicked out by the security. Thanks to the hard work of her circle, she began to actively submit resumes to apply for graphic models in the past few months, and also contacted a model agent.

Jenny mentioned her unpleasant past, which made her face sink, "Do you not smoke?"

"My shift is coming soon." Jenny explained - Jenny Jane sometimes smokes, but Chen Zhen doesn't.

Jessica didn't listen to her explanation, "If you don't smoke, give it back to me."

Jenny shrugged and handed the cigarette back to Jessica, "I have to go in, hey Jess?"

Jessica raised her eyebrows at her, her expression still cold.

"I know you have an audition next week, I wish you success." Jenny raised her fist, Jessica's face softened, and she reached out to punch her.

"You too, sister."

Jenny smiled, turned around and walked into the restaurant. After about five minutes, she saw Dave push the door and entered, and replaced Jessica in the past to entertain her. "Hi."

Dave is clearly looking for Jessica, and he responds somewhat absently, "Hi."

Jenny handed over the menu, and Dave casually browsed back and forth several times, but Jenny didn't care. The longer she stood beside Dave, the more clearly she could see the words on the folder. ——Although it was turned upside down, and it was only half drawn out of the briefcase, Jenny, or Chen Zhen, had a pretty good skill at reading words upside down.

This is also due to her ex-husband. In order to cut off, or prolong the rhythm of her ex-husband's cheating, Chen Zhen has practiced this trick hard, and the final skill is that as long as there is a word in the corner of her eye, she can not move. Sensually read the clear hierarchy.

She mainly uses this ability to peek at her ex-husband's mobile phone.

It seems that this time Jessica is a treasure. Jenny thought, and she read those few lines of English again: 'May 13 audition arrangement, Office No. 1, "Vampire Hunter Bar..."

You don't need to finish watching to know that this is WB TV network's ace TV series "Buffy the Vampire Slayer". According to the filming schedule, Buffy should start filming in July, and the casting will be in advance in May. Cast some of the regular roles of this season, and then make some adjustments to the script, and the filming can start directly after the lead actor returns in July.

There will be such a document and he will come here every day. He can't be as simple as an actor's agent. He should be the casting director of Buffy's crew, or even better, he is simply the screenwriter of Buffy's crew. or producer. If you can climb this level of relationship, landing a guest role in a TV series should be a breeze.

Although Jenny Jane is somewhat resistant to such an 'electric shock' method, it's only because she has a cheating goal of dominating Hollywood. The reality is that for a waitress like her, no matter how she uses it, such a resource cannot be missed. Even if you're not interested in TV dramas, you can ask him to introduce friends in the industry to find an agent for you, or you can simply introduce him to Warner's film crew for a small role...

This was the beginning of her attention to Dave. In the next few days, she had figured out Dave's full name without any trace, and confirmed his identity again from the phone—because of the 2012 "Avengers" She was very impressed with Joss Whedon, and she did some research. One of Joss' masterpieces is the charming "Buffy the Vampire Slayer", and the few calls Dave answered were all The name Joss was mentioned.

This is a good resource. It can be said that being a Hollywood star is an arrangement of fate. Opportunities are nearby, but whether they can recognize and grasp them depends on the individual.

Jenny Jane didn't lower her face to curry favor with Dave, she just took the route of chatting, which is normal in all restaurants. For tips, waiters often chat with customers.

Dave was served by Jessica for the first three days. On the fourth day, Jenny just greeted him. On the fifth day, he began to chat about the weather. On the sixth day, he talked about Dave’s dog. Tian talked about Jenny's audition.

Now Dave is used to being served by her. On the eighth day, they chatted about Jenny Jane's non-existent audition, and Jenny told him that the audition was blown, "They have already found the vase girl they want."

"Oh!" said Dave sympathetically.

Jenny gave him a strong smile, "If you want to encourage me, tell me that I will be a good vase."

Dave laughed, "Honey, you're so much more than a vase—"

Jenny put her hips on her hips and made an angry look, Dave raised his hands in surrender, "Okay, okay, you will be a very good vase girl."

Jenny put her hands down and laughed with Dave. "Thank you, I am more confident now."

Dave tipped 30% this day.

On the ninth day, Jenny asked Dave if he would work here from now on. Dave told her that he lived in New York and that this was just a short-term job, and he would go back next Wednesday.

But he still did not disclose his occupation.

Six days until next Wednesday.

Jenny Jane is still smiling, and she is not in a hurry. She is not desperate enough to hold on to any opportunity.

After counting the time, she greeted Johnny on the tenth day and took out the two weeks of vacation she had accumulated for one day.

On the afternoon of the eleventh day, Dave arrived half an hour earlier than usual. He seemed restless, and he didn't smile until he saw Jenny.

"Hi." Jenny still smiled at him, "Same?"

Dave blurted out, "I came yesterday and it was Jessica who served me."

His tone was accusatory, as though *sexing Jessica wasn't one of the purposes of his being here in the first place.

"I rested yesterday." Jenny said with a smile, "I hope you have not been wronged."

Dave made a non-commentary expression, and Jenny returned to the bar with a smile. In addition to coffee, she took an extra muffin.

"It counts in the store as compensation for yesterday," she said, winking at Dave. "If you need anything, call me."

At the checkout, Dave still tipped 30%. He was a little nervous, but he looked straight into Jenny's eyes bravely, "You said that you can call you (Callyou) for anything."

"That's right," Jenny said.

"But I don't have your number." Dave said, he stuttered, and quickly explained, "How do I call you (Calyou) without a number?"

Jenny throws this pun into Dave's ears every day. It can be said that the stairs have been built super high for him. Now he is walking down the stairs, but he still stutters in fear?

This man is so innocent and cute, Jenny couldn't help laughing, now, she really likes Dave a little bit.

"Should I say 'I'm glad you finally asked', or should I say 'Oh my god, I didn't think of that at all'?" She took out her pen, but her hand stopped in mid-air again, deliberately stern and contemplative .

Dave stammered, "Of course it's the former, oh please, it must be the former."

"You don't need to be so nervous at all." Jenny chuckled, and left her phone number behind the cash register slip, "Anything—"

She made a 6 and shook it by her ear.

Picking up the coffee mug and muffin plate, she started walking back - noticing Dave was watching her back until she crept into the bar.

"He asked you out?" Johnny asked gossipingly. "Tell me you turned him down - look at him, that's a loser, he's not good enough for you."

Jenny just smiled and didn't speak.

Dave called and asked her out for dinner that night.
