Hollywood Domination: The second peach blossom?
The starring contract of "Chicago" was signed in this way, and this supporting role, which played less than three minutes, brought Jenny 30,000 US dollars in remuneration.
Of course, compared to the remuneration of the two leading actresses, 30,000 US dollars is simply insignificant. Jenny's remuneration may not even be comparable to that of the female prisoner who has a shorter playing time and has to share the role, let alone the warden' Mom' up. But $30,000 was also the average annual income in the United States in 2001. After deducting taxes and commissions, Jenny will still have more than 20,000 yuan left. Even if she quits her job as a dog walker, it will be enough for her to live for several months.
However, the payment period stipulated in the contract is relatively long. It is not like CBS that the salary can be paid after the completion of the project. The payment must be made after the film is completed. In other words, she is still a poor ghost. In the foreground.
There is no sign of the next audition, but Jenny is already busy again, Lillian, Dave, Lynch, George Edes, Emma Swan, all called to congratulate her on getting this Of course, she also has some dinner invitations. If it weren't for the dog walking every night, Jenny's social life would be more colorful. The number of party invitations she has received is already staggering.
This is a change in social life. As for work, Cesare arranged accent classes for her to pay close attention to her British accent, and even some cultural courses, all teaching her ancient times—that is, In the Victorian era of England, some customs of the Civil War period in the United States, and the speech and behavior of women at that time, in addition, Jenny also took martial arts lessons, from basic boxing, to fencing, and horse riding, all were arranged for her.
Based on her speculation, the tuition fees for these courses have exceeded her remuneration in "Chicago". Of course, Cesare should have some training budget. She has received so much training, which means that Cesare's Other artists in China have less opportunities for further study.
However, she has not met Cesare's other clients so far. According to Jim, they are basically at least B-list and C-list artists, and of course they all have their own careers to be busy. Besides, Jenny seldom attends parties, and she doesn't even have the chance to meet each other. Cesare doesn't seem to have any intention of introducing them to each other.
Being under the same agent does not mean that their personal relationship needs to be very close. It is one thing to support each other in public and cooperate with hype. In private, there are many resources. For example, Jenny, today is because Cesare only brought her a newcomer. If there is another one, she has used so many training opportunities by herself. Can the other party have any objections?
In addition to these courses, she also needs to participate in the upcoming "Chicago" pre-training, which is a musical, and the two leading actresses have no relevant experience, including Richard Gere. For training, Jenny and other supporting roles have corresponding courses no matter how many roles they play, but the class hours are much less than that of the leading actresses. Renee Zellweger and Catherine Zeta-Jones had each been training for two months when Jenny went to audition.
Of course, she started her busy, poor and hungry life again. The only consolation is that there are a lot of singing and dancing parts in the training course, which can be regarded as a good amount of exercise. In addition, running while walking the dog every day is still a maintenance exercise, so Jenny can take in a proper amount of calories and does not need to rely on extreme dieting to maintain figure.
"Okay, now use a Scottish accent to say a few words." The accent teacher squeezed his fingers, "Pay attention to the key points, big tongue sound, trembling tongue sound. Say what comes to mind. Come, give me a few words."
Jenny is so eager for what kind of Chinese accent class or Asian accent class she is taking now, she almost rolled her eyes, "I'm starving to death now, give me a piece of meat, or I can eat people!"
"Your wording is completely gangster-like, but you don't have the rough pronunciation of gangster-style, and you can't learn the pronunciation well." The teacher began to be picky, "Now let me say this sentence again, listen to your words What's the difference."
During the one-hour accent class, Jenny felt that her pronunciation habits were like a poor little girl who was repeatedly ravaged by vicious robbers. She almost forgot what to say in her usual accent. "Are you really starving to death?" After class, a few students came over to tease Jenny with a smile, and her poor performance in the accent class, "You said this sentence repeatedly in class at least dozens of times. Over and over again, sister, you told me I was hungry.”
"I'm really starving to death." Jenny said weakly. "Now, please, please don't say this anymore? If you continue to talk like this, my stomach will start to digest itself."
She is not taking one-on-one classes, but there are not many students. The tuition fee of the course is very expensive, and it is not required by the profession. Few people take this kind of class out of interest. More than half of Jenny's seven or eight classmates are not well-known actors, and most of them have supporting roles in a certain TV series. Acting, self-education for career planning. But the remaining three or four careers have nothing to do with the showbiz, they are purely out of interest, and there is one person who has the weirdest reason: this person was inspired to be persecuted after 9/11, thinking that people all over the world hate Americans very much, but He also likes to travel abroad, so he wants to learn a foreign accent, so that he can pretend to be a foreigner when he goes abroad...
Although generally speaking, the United States is a rather dull and uninteresting Puritan country, there are more than 90% of small cities, and the life of its residents may be much more boring than the inherent impression of the Chinese people. But this is Los Angeles, California, Hollywood, and the metropolis with the most wealthy people in the country, and there is a truth that prevails all over the world: human personality can always be liberated to the maximum in the metropolis. So even though his reasons were so absurd and naive, the well-informed Hollywood drifters would naturally accept them.
He came over to chat with Jenny just now, and he was the one who made fun of her. Most of the other students left in a hurry after class, but he was the only one who tidied things up, "Since you're hungry, I'm hungry too. How about we go out and eat something together?"
"Forget it, Will," Jenny rolled her eyes, "can you please stop trying? I won't go out to eat, drink coffee, or drink with you."
This is not the first suitor she has met. There were many customers who wanted her phone number when she served in the restaurant before, but most of them are actually very self-respecting when they are in front of beautiful women. A few times, and will never try again. For example, the teacher of the accent class wanted to ask her out at first, but after a few setbacks, he retreated.
But Will is an exception. This person really understands the essence of the saying "a strong woman is afraid of a stalker".
"Comeon, at least come to a party with me." Will followed Jenny out of the classroom, "Aren't you an actor? Can I introduce you to the Backstreet Boys, do you know Nick Carter? The most handsome Which one—"
Jenny couldn't help but rolled her eyes again, "Yes, I know you have a very famous sister, Will—"
Will corrected, "Cousin."
"OK, cousin." Jenny pressed the elevator, "isn't this great? Paris is the fashion trend indicator for girls in all New York. Can there be no beautiful women around her? Go ahead and let her introduce you One, it will be more efficient than pestering me."
Yes, Will's surname is Hilton, and he is also one of the heirs to the Hilton hotel empire. It is impossible for Jenny to ask about the specific inheritance share. She only knows that Will's family is rich enough to support him for a two-year period. Global travel, as a Gap Year (gap year) before he graduated from college and entered the society, and the network is strong enough to send this boy who does not seem to be very good anyway to Yale, in short, for her current status Well, Will is really a good outlet. If she didn't choose to develop in Hollywood, it would indeed be a very good choice to lock up a rich kid like Will and marry into a rich family.
But then again, she has made this choice in her previous life, and her ex-husband has better conditions than Will Hilton, at least he is the only heir to the big family business, he is powerful and rich, and he is also a man. Much more mature than Will. ——She is very clear about the result of that marriage.
It is certainly impossible for the current Jenny to be confused by Will, but what makes her dumbfounded is that Will seems to be more fascinated by her because of her indifference.
"But none of them are you." He blinked desperately at Jenny, "Please, please, just a date, and I will never pester you again."
I have to admit that he is pretty good-looking. The natural hair color of the descendants of the Hilton family is actually brown hair. Will didn't follow his cousin's dyed blonde hair. He is a handsome boy with brown hair and blue eyes on the traditional East Coast of the United States. In fact, as a rich man, he is quite simple. Not the kind of dude who wears famous watches and famous brands. If it wasn't for him revealing his family background in order to attract her, it would be difficult for Jenny to connect him with Paris Hilton.
"Not to mention that I doubt the veracity of your last sentence," Jenny sighed, "Even if I want to promise you, I don't have time, Will, my filming will start in a few days, course It's all on hold. Well, if you're willing to wait—and promise not to contact me while you're waiting, I'll go on a date with you before you travel abroad, okay?"
She decided to compromise in the end, not because she was moved by Will's sincerity, but because this person somehow got her phone number, and Chen Zhen still has a little Eastern thinking, not because she was forced to rush, and she didn't want to fight with the threat. I'm tearing my face apart, and—actually, he's not very annoying after all, it's just that he's not in her plan.
"What is this? Pitydate?" Will made a shocked expression.
"Ah, if you think this is an insult to you, you can completely refuse." Jenny immediately said eagerly.
"I'm a person with no self-esteem." Will immediately changed his face and said with a smile. "I would be happier if I could upgrade Pitydate." (namely PitySex)
Speechless! Jenny rolled her eyes, "You think well."
Will was not angry, and talked to her about his studies, and talked about the first stop of his cross-border travel. "Amsterdam, it has to be Amsterdam, and you know why."
The Netherlands just announced that marijuana can be sold publicly in January 2001. For non-mainstream young people like Will, the Netherlands with its red-light districts and cafes (referring to those with soft drug menus) is simply in his heart. Jenny shook her head speechlessly, "Are you sure your parents will pay you after knowing your purpose of going to Amsterdam?"
"How would they know?" Will said with a smile. They went down to the parking garage together, "Won't you let me drive you home today?"
"I drove the car." Jenny pointed to her Passat.
"Are you sure you don't want to try my baby?" Will hinted jokingly.
I don't know if it's intentional or not, but Will's car is parked next to the Passat. It's a gleaming Ferrari. Jenny can't name the model, but she can tell at a glance that it's expensive and definitely not an entry-level sports car.
Jenny raised her **** at Will, who was lovingly stroking the side of the car. "I see that you are very happy touching yourself, why don't you continue, I will go first."
Will raised his hand like an electric shock, and made a dumbfounding expression at Jenny. Jenny ignored him, got into the car and drove out first.
But not long after she left the garage, Will had passed her with a harsh engine roar. He laughed and pouted at Jenny, very coquettishly, and made a kiss gesture sincerely, Only then did he speed up and disappear into the traffic.
Jenny watched the Ferrari go away, thought about it, and couldn't help shaking her head with a smile.
This is Hollywood, where money is at your fingertips and temptations are everywhere. As long as you are beautiful, you can meet invitations that make your heart beat anytime, anywhere. For example, Will, for the original Jenny, his lethality should tend to Positive infinity.
But what about Chen Zhen's version of Jenny?
All she can think about is tomorrow's filming - she doesn't worry about her part, after a few rehearsals, she thinks that she will perform no worse than Lucy Liu.
She was somewhat worried, of course because of Renee Zellweger's attitude.
Note: Gapyear refers to a custom in which teenagers go to other places to experience life during the period between high school and college, college graduation and social work. For example, after A graduated from high school, he communicated with the university to postpone his enrollment for one year, went to Asia for a backpacking trip, or went to India to teach, and went to an Australian farm to exchange work for accommodation. This is the type. Generally speaking, the family will not pay too much money for the gapyear. Except for rich families like Will, his 2-year gapyear is just an excuse for eating, drinking and having fun.
The places that supply marijuana in the Netherlands are called coffeeshops. If you want to drink coffee, you have to go to a cafe. The menu served in the coffeeshop is a soft drug package.
