There is a bar in Houhai

Chapter 554 Megan Hart
Hollywood, the world's most famous film and television capital of entertainment, has thousands of boys and girls from all over the United States every day, with dreams come here to find an opportunity.Meghan Hart is also one of them.

After coming to Hollywood, Megan signed up for an intermediary company specializing in the business of extras, but never got the chance to participate in Hollywood movies, only some leftover role auditions, and never succeeded.

It was only later that she realized that she had been scammed by some of the bag agencies, a lesson for fledgling Hollywood fledglings like them.

Back to Kentucky?It's not like Megan didn't have such thoughts in his heart, but he was still supported by the unyielding little flame in his heart.I want to be famous, I want to be a big star.

Megan spent five hundred dollars to terminate the contract with the agency and re-register her personal information with the Hollywood Actors Union.Although you need to pay a certain annual fee, you can receive official artist announcements from the Actors Guild every day.

About half a year after she came to Hollywood, she finally got a chance to act, even though she was just playing a passer-by role in a TV series without any lines, which made her extremely excited.

Today is the third audition for Megan Hart No.40. Although the agency was deceived last time, it has honed her casting experience for her.After the fat director hinted to her that she didn't get a response, he told her to go back and wait for news, and Megan was already able to face it calmly.She has signed up for the Starlight Performance Training School and is also receiving professional training. She believes that at the age of 19, she will be successful in the future.

Back at twelve noon, Megan hurried to work at the McDonald's store without even taking care of lunch.

"Megan, how was the audition in the morning?" White Brown was the one who asked the question. He was also a boy from Texas with a dream in mind. The director swung his pretty hips, and Meghan didn't mind having a dewy affair with him.

"Thank you, we're still waiting for news." None of them have a full-time agent, they all registered with the Screen Actors Guild of America, and then saw the information on the character announcements pushed by the Screen Actors Guild's official Twitter, each role has countless newcomers Sign up.

In Hollywood, it may be more difficult for a newcomer than a young actor in the third, fourth and fifth tiers.First of all, there are a lot of people and competition, and secondly, there is no experience, so the crew seldom consider it.But if the crew doesn't give them a chance, they will always have no experience. This is like a vicious circle.Despite this, Megan is also gritting her teeth and persevering. After all, she is only 19 years old, still young, and still has a chance.

Originally, Megan was on the morning shift, but she had switched shifts with Susan for this drama. If she was late in the afternoon, she would probably lose the job.

Megan dare not and cannot lose this job now, because the cost of living in Los Angeles is too high, and the registration fee for Los Angeles Starlight Performing Arts School has emptied all her savings.She works two jobs a day, working half a day at McDonald's during the day, going to class or going to a crew interview for half a day, and then going to the "Sea Biscuit" bar to work until twelve o'clock at night, so that she can pay the high rent and her three days a week of acting training cost.

There are also some loitering agents with malicious intentions. Looking at the beautiful face and plump figure of Megan Hart, they want to confuse her to go to the San Fernando Valley to shoot a film, but she is alert and dodges.

Although I am exhausted every day, think about it. Jim Carrey also worked as a cleaner, Madonna also worked as a fast food restaurant salesperson, Brad Pitt also played the promotional mascot of McDonald's, and even Johnny Depp Having worked as a pen telemarketer, Megan Hart kept using such words to cheer herself up and make herself full of fighting spirit.

It was an unexpected thing for her to receive a call from Shen Fang. Although her grandfather was the winemaker in Shen Fang's winery, Megan never thought that she would have any intersection with him.A billionaire and a country girl don't meet for more than ten days a year.Maybe he was just bringing a gift as entrusted by his grandfather, and maybe it was just a piece of cake for him.

Alas, I must have been rude this time.Megan thought about it, but there was nothing she could do, so she went to apologize tomorrow morning, hoping he would not care.

05:30 McDonald's gets off work, and Megan is going to the bar. Although it is a bar, it is different from the performing arts bar. The "Sea Biscuit" bar is basically pure drinks with light meals. There is no performing arts stage, only a coin-operated jukebox older than Megan, singing some old songs there.Old bars have the advantages of old bars. Some old customers will be familiar with the people here for a long time, which reduces a lot of right and wrong.

The owner, Charlie, is a very traditional Kentuckian. He loves horse racing and bourbon whiskey, which all Kentuckians like, which is also the origin of the bar's name.

Megan usually uses the story of "Sea Biscuit" to motivate herself, hoping to find her own brilliance.Megan is also thankful that her boss is from Kentucky. In Los Angeles, Kentuckians are used to clinging together. After knowing that Megan is also a fellow, even though she is under 21 years old, the boss still gave her a job as a waiter.

The bar is not big, the boss is in charge of the bar area, Megan and another waiter Anne are in charge of the seats, and the passage from the bar to the door is the dividing line for one person.

There was the crisp sound of old-fashioned wooden doors hitting copper bells at the gate of the bar, and customers came again.Seeing that Annie was greeting the guests, Megan hurriedly put down the tray in her hand and went forward.

"Welcome! Inside, please!" Under the dim backlight, three Asians, two men and one woman, can be discerned. Now there are many Asian tourists in Hollywood, and many Asian tourists come to experience the nightlife of the world's film and television capital every day. .

"Help find a bigger card bag, and a few friends will come later." One of the men ordered Megan.

Megan led the way, all the way to a large card bag on the inner wall of the bar, and arranged for a few people to sit down.Under the already bright lights in the store, Megan realized that it was actually Shen Fang.

"Ah, Mr. Shen, hello!" Megan greeted Shen Fang in surprise, then looked at Qin Mohan who was sitting opposite him, and hurriedly greeted: "Miss Qin, hello."

"Oh, Megan!" Qin Mohan said in surprise: "You changed the color of your hair, I can't even recognize you." In Qin Mohan's memory, Megan was full of blond hair, shining in the sun, but now Megan The hair color has been changed to brown, and she is dressed as a waiter.The whole person also looks a lot more stable, which is very different from the bright girl before, maybe this is life.

Shen Fang said to Megan: "Hi, Megan, I didn't know you were working here, but the gift Jack brought you is still in the hotel."

"Thank you, Mr. Shen." Megan said gratefully: "I'm at work in the afternoon, and I really can't get away. If it's convenient for you, I can go directly to the hotel where you are staying to pick it up tomorrow morning. What would you like to drink?"

"Okay. Just give me a glass of whiskey." Shen Fang nodded, and then said to Qin Mohan, "What would you like to drink?"

Qin Mohan said to Megan: "Please help me to have a drink with a slightly lower alcohol content, thank you."

"You later." Megan asked Cheng Yue's needs again, and then returned to the bar to arrange for them.

Megan recommended a glass of creme de cocao (cream-flavored liqueur) to Qin Mohan. According to the habits of Kentuckians, she gave Shen a glass of 101proof wild turkey whiskey and a plate of snacks, while Cheng Yue asked for a bottle of beer Sitting at the one-person platform not far from the two of them, they are always on guard around them.

Seeing that Megan was busy greeting other guests again, Qin Mohan asked Shen Fang in a low voice: "I see that Megan's hair color has changed to brown. I heard that there is discrimination similar to hair color in Hollywood. Is it true?"

Shen Fang nodded: "Hollywood has some natural discrimination against blondes. You can clearly see it in Hollywood movies. Blondes are all vases. They are beautiful and brainless characters. Even horror movies have that kind of screaming. It exposes where the target is. Even an Oscar-winning actress like Charlize Theron often dyes her hair a different color."

Looking at the busy Megan not far away, Qin Mohan couldn't help but sigh: "It seems that she really wants to be an actress. She expressed such a yearning when she was at the farm last time. Now even her hair is dyed." , I guess I want to succeed through my own efforts."

"For old Jack's sake, let's help her." Shen Fang thought of saying goodbye to Old Jack, and he knew that the other party wanted to ask him, but he didn't know how to express it, so he borrowed it. I hope I can help with the matter of asking me to bring a gift to Meghan.

"You mean the party the day after tomorrow?" Qin Mohan asked in surprise.

"Well, when the time comes to introduce her to people in the circle, it will depend on her whether she can succeed in the end." Shen Fang nodded.

The final stage of "Fast and Furious 7" has been completed. Because of the time difference, Wild Fox Company is planning to hold a world premiere in Shanghai, which is about twelve hours earlier than in the United States.

A month ago, Shen Fang arranged for Linda to prepare for this party. In addition to inviting the leading actors of the film, he also invited many big shots in the circle to attend.He is also going to have a good chat with Jeff Hill of Universal Pictures, and there should be quite a lot of cooperation between the two parties in the future.

The invitation letter has been sent out. When Linda arrives tomorrow, we can prepare for the meeting. Then I will take Megan there quickly and introduce a few people in the circle to her. Whether she can get the opportunity depends on her own luck. .

Seeing that Shen Fang had already made plans, Qin Mohan began to look at the display of the bar. The old wallpaper exuded a lazy atmosphere, and several posters of "The Pentium Era" were embedded in frames and hung on the wall. The unique bar counter and quaint wine cabinets all show that this bar has a certain age.

Qin Mohan was very excited when he saw the old jukebox, he pulled Shen Fang to exchange some coins, and ordered "Hotel California" (Hotel California).The bewildered and sad singing of Don Henry from the Eagles (Eagles) sounded, and this plain bar seemed to return to the glorious era of the band in the last century.
