The god of the world

Chapter 223 On the Right Way to Audition
As long as you have been in Hollywood for a period of time, you will naturally realize that the rules of Hollywood are controlled by these big shots.

Of course, the protagonist position is very popular.

But for a supporting role in a blockbuster, sometimes it depends on who knows how to operate.

Lin Shen simply said hello, but didn't make it too obvious.

Which side of the initiative between a man and a woman is on will directly determine each other's status in a relationship.

With his worth, let him go to please any girl, I'm afraid it's not because of her whimsy.

The female stars who thought they would have a chance to chat with Lin Shen were disappointed in an instant.

It was also the first time for the Ryder sisters to participate in such a prestigious reception.

In Hollywood, the two sisters are no better than some newcomers who have just debuted.

This time, for some reason, Sony Pictures actually invited them, which made the sisters very happy.

From the not-so-abundant pockets, I rented a part of the dress and jewelry.

Compared with her older sister who has been in Hollywood for several years, her younger sister Mimi is full of fantasies about being favored by the rich in the East, and then she starts a wonderful date, tastes the red wine in the villa, and then...

Well, the above are all Mimi's fantasies.

The reality is extremely cruel.

The other party's attention just passed them by, and they stopped paying attention to them.

Mimi was downcast and complained to her sister: "Talia, could it be that the dresses we rented are too shabby, we should have rented those two high-end dresses!"

"Who do you think we are, Scarlett?"

Talia pinched her younger sister's face and comforted her with a smile: "Okay, it doesn't matter if you don't gain anything, at least we have gained more knowledge, haven't we?"

"But we spent tens of thousands of dollars, but we didn't even get a business card of a famous person."

Mimi looked at those big-name celebrities who were talking and laughing, and no one would pay attention to their little transparency.

No matter which industry you are in, the class is the same.

Unless there are ulterior motives, no big-name star would be interested in a small person like them.

Even if they were uncomfortable, they didn't dare to leave rashly.

With so many big shots around, whoever leaves first might be considered disrespectful to them, and will be blacklisted for casting from then on.

Compared with her sister, Thalia has only acted in a few more low-cost independent films.

But independent films, apart from winning some worthless trophies, will not have much effect on her own popularity.

As for the younger sister, Mimi, she was much worse than Talia, and the few times she participated in the performances were all supporting roles in vases.

There were several directors who were interested in Mimi and wanted her to appear in their own movies, but Talia politely refused.

From their eyes, Talia could see that the price her sister had to pay for appearing in their movie was definitely not small.

Rather than being tepid, she didn't want her sister to be tarnished by this big dye vat.

Fortunately, their sisters were well-educated by their mothers since they were young, and their personalities are relatively Buddhist, and they can endure the hard life without resources.

Anyway, being an actor is much more rewarding than ordinary people.

In the middle of the banquet, several second-tier male stars came over to strike up a conversation.

Talia has always been insensitive to this kind of man.

Only those ignorant girls who have just come to Hollywood will be deceived by their superficial appearance.

In front of the five masters, they are as humble as dogs.

"Sister, look quickly, he exchanged business cards with that Iranian supermodel!"

Mimi has been paying attention to Lin Shen's movements, and suddenly pulled Talia's arm excitedly.

"Mahraha Jaberi?"

Talia recognized him and looked at herself and her sister.

In addition to their appearance, the two sisters are no worse than each other.

But no matter the height or the cup, they were all hammered by others.

Iran's number one supermodel is not a joke.

Even in Hollywood, there are many male stars who are very greedy for Mahlaha.

However, it is not easy for a woman to become famous in Hollywood.

Ordinary stars can't get into Mahlaha's eyes.

"An old woman in her 30s, I really don't understand why these men like her."

Mimi muttered softly, looked down at herself, and then at Mahlaha's proud capital, with envy on her face.

Mahlaha, who got Lin Shen's business card, left a red lip print on the business card in surprise, making the surrounding female stars envious.

Mahraha took out the business card he had prepared for a long time from the Chanel handbag, and when he handed it to Lin Shen, he still didn't forget to scratch his palm lightly.

We are all adults, there is no need to be hypocritical.

Lin Shen is interested in Mahraha, who also wants to find out his strengths and weaknesses.

The business card that Lin Shen gave to Mahlaha was just the most common kind.

Even if they got through, it was Chen Ji who was in touch.

But even so, it still made Mahraha full of joy, and looked all around with air.

At least tonight, her charm overwhelms those female stars who are much higher than her.

The banquet was still going on, but someone found that Mahraha had disappeared into the banquet.

In addition to Mahraha, Alina Sankoh and Isabella Adli also received business cards successively.

After receiving the small note from the waiter, they left quietly with some surprises.

Waiting and waiting, finally saw Lin Shen approaching.

Mimi suddenly became tense, her little heart beating uncontrollably.

Her older sister, Thalia, was no better than her, just as nervous as hell.

"Hello, I have seen the movie you acted in, and it is very spiritual. This is my business card. After a few days, I will send someone to invite you to audition."

After Lin Shen came over, he said something casually.

"Thank you for your compliment, we will definitely do our best."

Thalia breathed a sigh of relief, at least this one told them what to do before they came up.

But the audition is tricky, she doesn't understand.

Whether they can get the role will naturally depend on their acting skills.

It wasn't until Lin Shen left that Talia pushed her sister: "Wake up, everyone is gone."

"what?"

Mimi came back to her senses, and when she saw Lin Shen's leaving back, she was instantly annoyed: "I didn't pay attention to what he said just now, Talia, he is really handsome, with the restrained charm of an oriental man, very mystery!"

"He agreed to give us an audition opportunity, just go back and wait for the notice."

Thalia is no stranger to Mimi's nympho attributes.

Or, which girl doesn't like handsome guys?

Compared with greasy uncles and old men, a young and attractive rich man like Lin Shen moved their hearts even more.

At least they can fool themselves, they are talking about a short-term relationship, not a simple transaction.

……

When everyone dispersed, the villa was quiet.

The security on the mountain is too tight, and many paparazzi can only try to capture some valuable photos.

For example, which celebrity kisses in public.

This kind of gossip that everyone is interested in will definitely come to everyone.

Several experienced paparazzi had already spent a sum of money to bribe the staff who arranged the venue.

From them, I bought a list of the members who attended the banquet.

"Iran's No. [-] supermodel hasn't left yet?"

"Isabella Adley, the Australian female dancer, also did not leave."

"And Alina Sankoh, the Russian beauty pageant champion."

After comparing the lists, it is natural to find that several female stars have not left the villa.

It's so late and I haven't left yet.

Do you still need to think about it?

The paparazzi endured mosquito bites and looked enviously at the beautiful villa under the lights in the distance.

You don't need to think about it to know how happy the oriental rich man is inside.

Three models with explosive figures, just pick one out at random, they are all existences that ordinary people would dream of kissing Fangze in their dreams.

It's a pity that the security around the villa is too tight.

Facing the group of bodyguards armed to the teeth with live ammunition, no paparazzi would risk their lives to secretly take pictures.

If they were beaten to death, no one would speak for them.

I took a few random photos in the distance, and then continued to wait.

No one would believe them if they just took pictures of the exterior of the villa.

Unless, those female stars were photographed leaving the villa.

Think of a piece of breaking news appearing in your hands, and the huge rewards hidden behind it.

After discussing it, the paparazzi decided to rest in shifts.

But it was dawn, and the paparazzi had bloodshot eyes, but they still didn't see anyone leaving the villa.

"Darren, hasn't anyone left the villa yet?"

Smith squinted for a while, rubbed his face after waking up, saw Banks, his most valued subordinate, staring intently at the villa, smiled and patted the latter on the shoulder.

"Not yet. We should be in a protracted battle this time. The physical strength of young rich people is not comparable to those old men."

Banks made a joke.

"But I believe we can make a big ticket this time."

Smith smiled: "The super rich in the East, two supermodels and an Australian female dancer spend 24 hours together in the villa. As long as they take pictures of people's faces, the photos will definitely sell out."

"Kevin, the premise is that we have to take pictures."

Banks shrugged, "But, can we sell a photo for $300 this time?"

"No, as long as there are enough amazing photos, at least $500 a piece!"

Smith's tone was firm: "After doing this ticket, we will be chic for a year."

"Maybe, but also pay attention to the scale, I don't want to be missed by those guys."

Banks glanced at the bodyguards with live ammunition, and always felt that they were dancing on the tip of a knife.

But people die for money, and birds die for food.

In the past, they took photos of female celebrities playing in bikinis. According to the average price of 200 US dollars per piece, they could sell 7000 pictures a month, and the peak monthly income was 140 million US dollars.

According to Smith, if you sell 500 copies for 2000 US dollars, you will get 100 million US dollars.

The problem is, ordinary photos are not that valuable.

At the very least, the shots must be powerful enough to be worth paying for by those magazines.

……

After waiting for three full days, only bodyguards would go out to buy ingredients every day.

The entire security team + nannies add up to hundreds of people, and the consumption of ingredients is not small.

During the period, it wasn't that the paparazzi had thought of pretending to be an employee delivering food to see if they could enter the villa.

But at the door, he was directly stopped by the bodyguards.

All ingredients must be opened and inspected to prevent dangerous items such as bugs or bombs inside.

"There is movement in the villa!"

Banks kept watching through the binoculars, and when he saw the two bodyguards at the door open the door, he picked up the guy excitedly.

Don't get me wrong, it's just a camera.

Even so, Banks was taken aback by the bodyguard who suddenly glanced at him in the camera.

The other party's eyes were full of disregard for life, and there was a sense of horror that made Banks' hair stand on end.

Banks had no doubt that killing him would be no more difficult than killing a chicken.

Fortunately, the other party just glanced at him and paid no attention to them.

"Damn privacy glass!"

Banksy took a few photos, none of which were very satisfactory.

As a paparazzi, if you can't take the best shots, it's tantamount to playing for nothing.

Fortunately, everyone has several years of experience in the industry, so they are not so prone to setbacks.

There are no fewer than dozens of paparazzi who want to curse people like them.

The oriental tycoon and three beautiful supermodels played in the villa for three full days.

And they ate and drank, almost all in the car.

Not to mention the dirty body, but also the smell.

It would be fine to take some valuable photos, but it happened that only the bodyguards and the car were photographed, not even the full face.

Those magazines would not buy such worthless photos.

The extended Cadillac in the middle of the convoy looked no different from an ordinary Cadillac extended car.

The overall length is 8.5 meters, the width is about 2 meters, and the height is about 1.9 meters.

But in fact, the cost is quite expensive.

The armor shell of the body is made of hard materials such as titanium alloy and aluminum, which is enough to easily withstand the attack of ordinary rockets.

The door is also uniquely designed, and its weight is comparable to that of a Boeing 787.

Super toughened bulletproof glass with a thickness of 6.5 cm, which is not afraid of machine guns.

The fuel tank is a layer of special foam that prevents the fuel from burning.

The windows of the entire car, except for the windshield in front of the car, are all painted with black ink color exterior paint.

The whole car is in a closed state, and only the driver's window can be lowered to a height of less than 7.5 cm.

When in danger, it can be closed immediately.

The tires are low-pressure safety tires made of Kevlar reinforced fiber rubber, which can still maintain high-speed driving in the event of an explosion.

In order to prevent chemical weapons attacks, there is no air in the car, the air is completely isolated, and the car is equipped with automatic oxygen supply equipment.

Emergency medical equipment is also available.

Sufficient blood reserves, various safety measures are only beyond your imagination, and there is nothing it does not have.

This is also a small gift that Lin Shen got from the system, and he has a legal license plate from any country in the world.

It just so happens that his A380 is big enough and has his own garage.

Every time you go abroad, you must take this legal car with you.

So, no wonder the paparazzi are so depressed.

No rich man would dislike this kind of car.

But the problem is, money can't get it.

Just like Eagle Sauce, after the president abdicated, all exclusive cars were destroyed, just because he was afraid that key information such as hair and blood would be collected by the outside world.

If it wasn't for the system, Lin Shen would naturally not be able to buy it.

……

A paparazzi who did not give up followed the convoy to the headquarters of Dimension Films.

Lin Shen was the only one who got out of the car when the door opened.

As for Mahlaha and the others, after he attracted the paparazzi's attention, he was quietly sent away by a group of bodyguards.

Among the paparazzi, there is no shortage of smart people.

At this time, they didn't know that they were being tricked.

"Fuck!"

Thinking of being bitten by mosquitoes for three days, wasting time and energy for nothing, the feeling of being teased by others is really uncomfortable.

But so what, the star is not happy to be stared at by them.

Seeing that the big boss was in a good mood, Song Kun took the opportunity to ask for instructions: "Director Lin, this is the audition list for "The Queen's Gambit". Do you think there are any others that need to be invited?"

He asked this because he was afraid that his boss would be in a good mood, and he would arrange for a few extra actresses to audition.

"No, just audition according to the draft list."

Lin Shen waved his hand.

Mahlaha and the others, compared to actors, what they care about is fame and wealth.

As long as you give enough money, it doesn't matter if you become an actor or not.

"The audition time is ten o'clock in the morning, and there is still half an hour left. Would you like to see the performance of the actors?"

Song Kun looked at his watch and reminded at the right time: "Sister Ryder, and the few people you greeted yesterday have also participated in the audition."

"Then go take a look."

Lin Shen had seen Song Kun's names in bold on the audition list for a long time.

When I came to the audition room, the directors who were still struggling a few days ago were dressed like dogs in suits and ties.

Now they have the opportunity to audition actresses who are famous in Hollywood, which they never dreamed of before.

This change in status is really fascinating.

Seeing Lin Shen and Song Kun appearing, the five quickly got up and bowed respectfully to greet them.

"boss."

"Sit down, look at your condition, you should have a good few days."

Lin Shen smiled and waved his hands.

"Not only is it good, but the mother-in-law in the family always disliked me for being a bad person. These three days almost emptied me."

Zhang Jinfu, the oldest, was also the one who had the worst time.

Since immigrating abroad, she has been working in various small and medium-sized film crews in Hollywood, and her previous family fortune is almost spent.

Even the mother-in-law at home began to flirt with the old white man next door.

But when Zhang Jinfu signed a contract with Dimension Films and received a check for 200 million US dollars, his status was instantly reversed.

Pay off all credit card debts at once.

I bought a bunch of high-end clothes for myself and my family, and rented a villa with a better location.

Now it's not that he is worried about his wife hooking up with foreigners, but that his mother-in-law is afraid that he will attract others outside.

In just a few days, fate has changed so much.

As for him himself, it feels like he has been enlightened, and he has decades of directing experience out of thin air.

I can't wait to start working immediately, and prove myself by making a movie that is well-received and well-received by others.

Several other people have more or less similar experiences.

In the United States, there are many Chinese directors like Zhang Jinfu.

The ones Lin Shen chose were all similar to Zhang Jinfu.

Some have immigrated, and some have not changed their nationality.

As for immigration or not, Lin Shen didn't pay much attention to it.

People go to high places, who doesn't want to develop in a better place.

As long as they can make money for themselves, that's enough.

When the audition started, Zhang Jinfu and the others also put on a straight face. A group of third-tier female stars, their acting skills are really average.

Fortunately, some young actresses performed very well, especially the pair of Ryder sisters, which impressed Zhang Jinfu and the others very deeply.

This "Queen's Gambit" was shot by him.

And his current directing style is exactly like David Fincher.

Don't look at "The Queen's Gambit" has only 7 episodes in total, but the production cost of a single episode is as high as 1000 million U.S. dollars, and there is a floating budget of 500 million U.S. dollars.

It's just a web drama, and the production cost can catch up with a medium-budget movie.

This was unimaginable in the past.

Compared with her younger sister, Thalia's performance is more eye-catching.

From image to acting skills, they are relatively close to the heroine's standard.

This is just the first batch of auditions, and there will be a second round of auditions in the afternoon, when a group of second-tier actresses may come to audition.

The so-called second-tier and third-tier are all aimed at Hollywood.

Even in their respective countries, they are all well-known existences.

Although it was only a few minutes of audition, what I saw was just a short script.

But Talia's intuition told her that she must win this role, otherwise she would regret it for the rest of her life.

Such an intuition does not appear many times.

But every time she appeared, her life would take a small step forward.

Mimi left the audition room, already feeling that she must be out of the cast.

Thalia, on the other hand, is more suitable.

It doesn't matter if it's suitable, in the end it can't be decided by the other party.

"Talia, we should leave."

Mimi saw Thalia distracted, walked over and gave her a gentle push.

"Well... Mimi, you go back first, I will meet a friend later."

Thalia's character is the complete opposite of her weak appearance.

As long as you make a decision, you will never regret it.

If she misses this opportunity, she doesn't know how many years she will waste.

In Hollywood, beauty depreciates more exaggeratedly than the dollar.

"Talia...you won't want it?"

As a biological sister, Mimi couldn't guess Talia's thoughts.

Bullshit friend, Thalia obviously wants to make an exchange.

"I love this character."

Talia just answered her sister with a smile.

"you……"

Mimi didn't expect Talia to have such an idea.

"You'll support me, won't you?"

Thalia looked at her sister with a sly smile.

"I……"

Mimi wanted to cry but had no tears. It was obviously the man she fell in love with first, but was cut off by her sister.

"I want a limited edition Hermès!"

"make a deal!"

"One is not enough, I want two!"

"no problem!"

"I still want... Cough, don't worry, I will keep it secret for you."

Seeing Talia's unfriendly eyes, Mimi shrank her head and dared not ask any more.

"Wait here for me, I'll be back soon."

After telling her sister, Thalia got up and went to the audition room.

I found a bodyguard guarding the door and showed a business card that Lin Shen had given her earlier.

After one of the bodyguards went in to ask for instructions, he came out and took her upstairs.

All of this was seen by Mimi.

Mimi is extremely confident about her sister's beauty.

Since I was a child, I have always been praised by people.

Compared with her elder sister, her beauty is slightly inferior.

……

Being taken to an office, Thalia was not as relaxed as her sister thought.

After a while, the office door was pushed open.

Lin Shen walked in and looked at Talia with great interest.

Wearing a white slanted shoulder dress, showing round and fragrant shoulders.

Black shoulder straps and flowers are used as embellishments, adding a bit of sweet girlishness.

The elegant net gauze dress adds a full fairy air.

Under the semi-transparent skirt, a little sexy is faintly displayed.

Among the actresses who auditioned this morning, Thalia is the most beautiful.

Thalia hadn't been this nervous for a long time as the man's eyes swept across her body.

"You really want this role?"

Lin Shen asked knowingly.

"I would love to play this role if I could."

Hearing Lin Shen mention the character, Talia's nervousness subsided a little.

"This is the first web drama invested by Dimension Films. The production budget is about [-] million US dollars. Even in Hollywood, it is a medium-cost production. Your acting skills and reputation are not enough to get this role."

Lin Shen didn't belittle Talia on purpose, he was just discussing the facts.

"I know what you said, but I also have my own advantages. I am not well-known, which also gives me enough time and energy to perform this role well."

"Secondly, I think the appearance is relatively outstanding, which can bring a certain degree of attraction to the broadcast of the series."

"In the end, I'm willing to pay for this show, as long as I have it."

After Talia finished speaking clearly, she quietly waited for the trial.

This is Hollywood, reality and fantasy.

Every moment, there are countless girls who have dreams of becoming famous and step into this bottomless quagmire.

Someone was lucky enough to stand out and become a popular actress sought after by countless movie fans, gaining both fame and fortune.

More people will never have a bright future and can only leave sadly.

Thalia also wants to be popular, but not without a bottom line.

"Nice idea."

Lin Shen also looked at this girl with admiration, and casually pulled out a standard economic contract: "If you sign this contract, this role is yours."

Talia was also stunned for a while, but she still took the contract and read it carefully.

There is nothing to say, just an ordinary artist management contract.

The commission is 5%, which is not much different from the commission of artist brokerage giants like CAA.

The name of the brokerage company is World Artist Group, which translates to World Artist Management Group.

The five directors who had previously signed contracts, as well as five powerful actors, all signed their brokerage contracts with WAG.

Constrained by the Talent Brokerage Act, the contract is only valid for 2 years, and WAG has the priority right to renew the contract.

During the contract period, the company will provide her with high-quality drama resources created with a lot of money.

As long as you sign the contract, you can get a salary of 300 million US dollars.

Talia didn't hesitate too much, and directly signed her name, becoming the first female artist under WAG.

"It's a very wise choice. You will definitely be grateful for today's decisiveness in the future."

Lin Shen smiled and opened a bottle of champagne, poured a glass and handed it to Talia.

"cheers!"

The crisp sound of glass clinking sounded.

The audition downstairs also completely lost its value.

……

Mimi, who had been waiting for Thalia, was so hungry that she had to have a staff meal.

It was rich beyond her expectations, all kinds of fruits and drinks were available in unlimited quantities.

"It's almost dark, why haven't people come out yet?"

Mimi got a little impatient waiting, and kept bombarding Talia with messages.

"Ding~"

Mimi, who was scrolling through Instagram, was relieved to see Talia finally replied.

After clicking on the voice, a heart-pounding voice came out of nowhere.

Mimi was taken aback and almost threw the phone out.

"Talia is really too much!"

Mimi put on the bluetooth headset with a guilty conscience, and couldn't help eavesdropping on the voice a few times, her face flushed, and she was a little curious and yearning.

Well protected by her sister, Mimi has never dated a boyfriend.

This time Mimi was honest, and didn't dare to disturb her busy sister again.

Almost half an hour later, Mimi's cell phone vibrated.

Thalia: "You go up to the third floor, and someone will bring you here."

Mimi: "Talia, I won't be with you..."

Thalia: "What are you thinking? Everyone else has already left, and I'm alone."

Mimi: "..."

When she took the elevator to the third floor, a yellow-skinned bodyguard took her to an office.

After entering, Mimi didn't see Talia, and just about to ask, she saw an invisible door in the office.

"Miss Talia is inside."

After the bodyguard finished speaking, he left the room.

Waiting for Mimi to push open the small door and walk in.

The scene in front of her was no less than those unsuitable movie scenes that she and her classmates peeked at.

A room with a size of sixty square meters is luxuriously decorated.

Talia was the only one on the two-meter-long bed, showing her round, snow-white shoulders, and her body was hidden under the quilt.

There seemed to be a faint strange smell in the air.

Talia looked at her sister with a dull face, smiled and waved: "What are you doing stupidly, come and help me sit up."

"You got the role?"

Mimi's heart was indescribably complicated.

"Of course, I signed all the brokerage contracts with them."

Thalia's cold temperament was also neutralized a lot.

"Talia, is he very powerful?"

Mimi was a little curious.

"Well, very very..."

Talia couldn't stop thinking.

"But obviously I saw it first."

Mimi felt more and more wronged.

"Mimi, you can't grasp him. My sister will introduce you to a good marriage partner in the future."

Talia didn't think her sister was so attractive that a man would give up other women for her sake.

So, this fire pit is destined to be jumped only by her sister.

After the two packed up, Talia was almost helped by her younger sister to leave the Dimension Films headquarters building.

The early film remuneration has been remitted to Talia's account after deducting taxes and commissions.

A salary of 300 million US dollars is nothing to a first-line actress.

But for a little transparency like Thalia who has only acted in independent films, it is already a huge sum of money, enough for their sisters and their families to live a good life for several years.

With this relationship, the figure she will earn in the future will be more than 300 million US dollars.

If it weren't for a little bottom line, she would have wanted to drag her sister into the water.

It only took one afternoon for Thalia to become a heroine who was transparent from a young age to a billion-dollar production.

This is the magic of Hollywood, a happy paradise for men.

Lin Shen, on the other hand, appeared at the Los Angeles Airport.

In his A380, Mahlaha and the others had already been waiting for a long time.

In addition to Mahlaha and the three of them, there are tennis sweetheart Marcus Lane, Braden Sharbino and Saxon Sharbino who had previously received his business card.

Facing his invitation, neither the Marcus nor the Sabino sisters refused.

If there were any scandals, it would greatly improve their reputation.

What's more, facing a check for 100 million US dollars.

99% of girls can't refuse.

It would be much easier to make the super rich happy than to hype up variety shows to make money.

　During the 14th day of quarantine, everyone is safe and healthy, and I hope that Chongqing will be unblocked as soon as possible
