Hollywood Domination: Tear X for the first time

After the make-up trial, the official shooting was ushered in. Jenny got the shooting notice a week in advance. The expected shooting time for the first episode of the second season is about nine days. Although she does not have many roles, it is impossible to focus on Jenny due to the shooting schedule. In order to avoid accidents, she still applied for the night shift for the previous week.

Generally speaking, TV dramas strive for studio shooting as much as possible, because it is really expensive to go on location. Coupled with the sound labor system, the labor cost of outdoor shooting at night scenes is also high, so Jenny can take care of both shooting and restaurant work. Of course, in this way, she can no longer hide the role from Johnny, although The old man was a little sad, but he still opened the door for Jenny. But Jessica's complexion was not so good, and Jenny didn't intend to tease her mood deliberately, at most, she walked around her these days.

"Maybe you can soar into the sky." Kevin, who was on duty with her, was very excited about this, "Please, give me a little extra tip when you come back for dinner. If you can, hire me to be your Assistant, I will work hard."

He spoke a little louder, Jessica walked into the back kitchen with a plate, and snorted, her glamorous face was slightly distorted, revealing a domineering queen style-this is the patent of a beautiful girl, "You are Think beautifully."

Kevin didn't dare to say anything, but just stuck out his tongue. Jenny ignored her and ate her lunch quietly. For such a person, even getting angry is a waste of energy.

It's the dining time for the restaurant staff, and Jenny is still eating her own salad. Although Jessica is angry with her, for the first time, she doesn't eat her favorite meat pie, but imitates Jenny to eat Started a salad without vinaigrette and mayonnaise—basically a bunch of salty herbs with poached meat. Jenny saw it, and couldn't help laughing secretly: Jessica is actually a bit smart, but it's a pity that she was still a little careless, so that she lost the biggest treasure.

Just as she was thinking about it, the wind chime rang at the door of the restaurant. When Jenny saw it, she left her lunch and ran out of the staff rest area in surprise, "Dave, why are you here?"

Dave's enthusiasm for her was very beneficial, and he touched the back of his head shyly. "You know Buffy is about to start filming, and I was supposed to come back next week."

So he came a week early for her filming? Jenny didn't know what to say, "Oh, Dave, you're so kind!"

She went back to the kitchen without any explanation and placed an order, and took another Hollywood star's famous devil cake with a lot of cream, "It's on my head."

Dave blushed, and he pointed to the seat opposite him, "Is it convenient?"

Now he is the only customer in the store, Jenny shrugged, "No problem."

They used to talk on the phone and send text messages regularly, so Dave knew her shift schedule next week, and he cared about her, "Is it too hard to come to the restaurant after the show?"

"Double money is not easy to earn." Jenny smiled, "Don't worry, Dave, for five thousand dollars, it's only a week, I can make it through."

She is really sorry, "It's a pity that I can't have dinner with you this week, I hope you won't be too busy after you start working."

"No, no, no." Dave began to blush and sweat, and he cleared his throat, avoiding Jenny's eyes. "Actually, I have some news that I didn't tell you..."

"What's the news?" Jenny maintained a smile on the surface, but secretly cried out in her heart: Don't propose, please don't propose!

"I decided to move to California." Dave said, "Now that I'm in charge of Buffy's casting, more than half of that year will be in Hollywood, and it doesn't make sense to maintain a New York home. Previously I have been living in New York because—"

He waved his hand, did not mention his wife's name, but looked directly at Jenny unexpectedly boldly, "Now I have no reason to live in New York."

"This is really good news!" Jenny was relieved and smiled brightly.

"I have one more thing to do when I come early," said Dave like a child, walking up the steps built by Jenny with smiles and encouragement, constantly telling the good news he brought. "Buffy's crew decided to add a regular character in the new season, but the cast has not been decided yet. I recommended you to them a few days ago."

He leaned forward slightly, as if he wanted to take Jenny's hand, but he hesitated for a while, but he didn't dare, "Jenny, quit your job in the restaurant, it's time to enter the show business circle."

Jenny didn't know what to say at all—she felt that she was really lucky, and she was indeed going well on this road.

"I don't know my acting skills—" Chinese habits are hard to change, and she first said a word of humility.

Dave nodded unexpectedly, "That's why I didn't mention it to you before, after all, this is a regular role, not a cameo that only appeared for a few minutes, but you left my friend with your CBS audition before." I was very impressed, and he thinks you have the strength to give it a try."

Seemingly seeing that Jenny still had some reservations, he added, "Tomorrow I will also go to the crew to see your performance, don't worry, you can wait for the results of Buffy's audition before deciding whether to take it or not... ..."

Jenny winked at him, but Dave didn't continue, but turned his head and glanced at the counter. He smiled, but his attitude became calmer. "Go back to work, the boss is already staring at me."

"Oh, dear, thank you so much, I really don't know what to say." Jenny shook her finger in her ear, "Call me, let's have dinner together tonight."

She stood up and went back to her area of ​​responsibility to clean it, and smiled at Dave from time to time. However, when Dave paid the bill, Jessica walked over to serve him first. ——That was her area, and Jenny couldn't say much.

Jessica's face was stinky after paying the bill - Dave didn't say a word to her the whole time. She threw the tip to Jenny, "Here you are, as SugarDaddy, he's stingy enough."

Jennie knew at a glance that although Dave settled all the bills and didn't let her treat guests, he only gave a basic 3% tip, which is the ones that are distributed to the back kitchen. She smiled, "We're just friends."

"The size of my friend." Jessica said unceremoniously, "You stole him, he was originally mine."

She should have heard some words such as crew and Buffy, which made her suspicious, and now she is really emotional.

Jenny knew that she must not show weakness at this time, otherwise Jessica would not know what to say next time Dave came to her, she said lightly, "I don't know what you are talking about, Jess, if You're talking about Dave's job, so all I can say is that you had your chance, and I didn't expect any from him—that's how weird fate is, isn't it, Jesse?"

Although it was nonsense, Jenny opened her mouth and came without any guilt.

Jessica's face twisted for a while, and she suddenly came up with a wave of her hand, "YouBitch!"

If it wasn't for Jenny's quick response and the two of them were separated by a table, Jessica could really slap her in the face. Jenny was so frightened that she ran to the counter, and Johnny also came out of the counter in a hurry and scolded Jessica. "What are you doing! Are you crazy?"

Kevin and another male waiter quickly came out to ease the situation. Although Jessica was hugged by them, she still didn't give up. She kept swearing, and she was just cursing Jenny, a bitch. Deep, premeditated stealing her chance. Amidst her scolding, Jenny suddenly felt like she was a green tea bitch.

"That's enough." It was Johnny who got angry at last, "Jessica, you were the one who refused to talk to him at first, we all remember it very clearly. Even if there is anything, you gave up first, and Jenny owes nothing. What about you, if you don't want to be fired now, go out and calm down, if you continue to go crazy, I can only call the police."

Jessica's movements obviously paused for a moment, then she calmed down, let go of her restraints, walked directly through the back kitchen, and out of everyone's field of vision. Door.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Kevin and his colleagues went over to move the table, and Jenny also stepped forward to help. When everything was packed, she walked up to Johnny and said apologetically, "John, I'm sorry."

Johnny obviously struggled too, but he finally waved his hand and joked, "If you're really guilty, stay and help for a while."

"I will, I will work two more hours today." Jenny said, "I will leave after dinner."

She has a good opportunity now, and she is likely to leave the Hollywood star in a short period of time. In the case that Jessica may be the only waitress in the house, Johnny can still scold Jessica for her. Jenny is really cool grateful.

Johnny quickly revealed the fact that he had been eavesdropping, "But didn't you and Dave have an appointment for dinner tonight?"

"He's here for dinner as well." Jenny joked, "I'm serious, John, Jessica may not be coming back today, I'll take her place. Lots of opportunities."

A touch of emotion flashed across Johnny's face, and he didn't refuse, "I owe you once, Jenny."

Jenny said sincerely, "I owe you once."

As expected, Jessica did not come back. Jenny called Dave to tell the whole story, and assured that she was not injured, but she still couldn't stop him from coming to visit her—obviously, he was completely fascinated by her, completely Fall in love.

And because of this, Jenny doesn't want to go out to dinner with him tonight. What happened before can be said to be in the friend zone, but now Dave is so obvious. It's a little difficult.

Dave had dinner in the restaurant, and waited until Jenny got off work to take her home, but this time he didn't propose to go upstairs, but took the initiative to urge Jenny to go back to rest, "shooting is very tiring, you need someone Good stamina."

In the entertainment industry, he is really an extremely rare honest person. Jenny was really touched, but she didn't want to let Dave go upstairs because of this. She just expressed her thanks again, and then went back to rest.

The next day, Dave drove to pick her up and took her to the Universal Studios—in fact, as a TV series, being able to rent Universal is a very rich performance.

Universal Studios looks unremarkable from the outside, but there are many large warehouses dotted around. There is a large parking area next to each warehouse, which is full of trailers, prop cars, and many used for the studio. The battery car shuttles around under the scorching sun in California, and each area checks the pass very strictly. There is no phenomenon that you take the pass from the H area and drive to the A area. Of course, it is inevitable to wander around the area. When he got out of the car and entered the shed, Dave encountered a little trouble, because a guest actor of Jenny's level did not have the right to bring people into the shed. Fortunately, Dave was prepared and called his friend Lynch, and they entered the shed to sign in smoothly.

After the check-in, Jenny was taken away to read the script. Before the official shooting, there will be a script reading meeting, where the leading actors will read the key scenes of the episode together. Since Jenny is the core character of this episode, so also I was lucky enough to participate in the script reading meeting. At the meeting, she got to know the leading actors by the way, but most of the female stars were very cold towards her, while the male stars were warmer. Gary, the black star who played Rick Warren, even gave her a flirtatious look.

Fortunately, when I first read the script, everyone's performance was immediately professional. After reading the script, we went back to make up and started filming the first scene of this episode. Of course, Jenny was no exception. After putting on her makeup... she began to wait.

Yes, no matter at home or abroad, before you become famous, the main working hours of an actor are not acting, but waiting. Wait for your scene, act in the past, and then come back and wait. It is very likely that there will be a scene in the morning, a scene in the evening, and the middle time...just wait. In China, Jenny doesn’t know. She hasn’t been to a few sets, and the waiting time varies from set to set. In the United States, guest actors like her have a special trailer, which is for them to stay while waiting. , Of course, if you are willing to stand there and watch other people filming, the crew will not forcefully dissuade you, at most it will feel that you are particularly in the way.

Jenny didn't want to wear fancy clothes to stand on the set where people were coming and going, and the costume assistant would not allow it. Although the jewelry in this outfit was fake, the dress was not cheap. She sat and waited in the trailer for a while, and Dave came to talk with her again. The two chatted for more than two hours, and someone called her from there, and Jenny entered the set to prepare for the shooting.

Key scenes often require rehearsals before the official shooting. Nick, who was playing opposite Jenny, still had the script in his hand. Of course, Jenny didn’t take it too seriously. It was decided to shoot the camera, and then the makeup artist came up to make up various makeup. With a sound of "clearing the scene", all the people in the shooting area retreated behind the camera like a tide, and all the black heads were looking at the people in the field behind the track. actor.

After commemorating the time and the scene number, she clapped her hands vigorously, and the camera started to move. Jenny closed her eyes slightly, and in an instant, she was immersed in the life of Marilyn Monroe. , Then, she opened her eyes and greeted the first scene of her acting career with confidence.
