Reborn Hollywood Ladies

Chapter 10 Before the audition

Two days passed in a flash.Early in the morning, people began to wait outside Phoenix Film Company.

Laila looked down from the window and asked suspiciously, "Did I remember the time of the audition wrong?"

Demi shook her head quickly: "No, it's really 9:[-] a.m. because they came early."

"There are so many people here." Laila was amazed. As expected of Hollywood, there were already hundreds of people waiting outside at 8 o'clock.

"Of course." Louise pushed the door in, just in time to hear her words. "This is Hollywood, and countless people have dreams of becoming movie stars."

Lila could hear the pride in her tone, and slightly hooked the corners of her lips.

"I thought the salary I paid was not high, but I didn't expect so many people to come so early."

Louise smiled and shook her head: "Believe me, you have already given a lot. Even if you only pay half, many people will come to audition. We are looking for a leading role, which is quite a beautiful qualification."

"Yes." Laila nodded. "Then the next audition is up to you."

"Don't worry." Louise handed her a thick folder: "The film's budget has been released, because there are no big scenes, the budget is set at 7 US dollars. The actors' remuneration also includes It's inside."

If she went to the Screen Actors Union, she would not be paid $[-] at all.The most indispensable thing in Hollywood is a large number of newcomers. In order to get a role, hundreds of thousands of dollars can be paid to recruit a large number of people.

Who makes the boss rich?She didn't complain to the boss about such a trivial matter.

Leila can also see now that she seems to have really paid a lot of money for the film.Her impression of the salaries of Hollywood stars is in the tens of millions of a certain movie, and there are various cuts.So I accidentally forgot that what I was looking for was not a celebrity at all, and I couldn't invite a celebrity at all.For a good role, a small salary will definitely attract people.

Think of it as what you pay for.She smiled wryly.

After handing over the matter to Louise, she quietly went downstairs, observed the actors who came to audition in the corner, and tried to find some distinctive actors.

"Remember, this is an opportunity. Take it and you're officially in Hollywood, you know?"

In a corner not far away, a man dressed as a broker in a suit and leather shoes was admonishing a woman.

"Frank, do I really need to be in? It's a horror movie, and it doesn't look like much investment."

"Kate! Listen. You've done something where you've been. But this is Hollywood, look around you, it's full of competitors for that low-budget horror movie you're talking about! Look Have you seen that ridiculously beautiful girl in front? She definitely has more experience in acting in movies than you think."

"I know this Phoenix Films, they really only make some ketchup B-horror movies, but you don't need to worry about that. Think you can write on your qualifications how big a movie heroine will be in the future benefit!"

"Okay, Frank." The woman interrupted his babbling: "I know what you mean, I will take part in the audition."

"This is the Kate I know, come on, believe in your ability, you must get this role!"

Lyra was fascinated by their conversation.The words of the man who is obviously the manager's persuasion to the actors touched her very much, and also said a rule of Hollywood.

Hollywood takes seniority seriously.Even if an unknown new screenwriter writes a very good script, it is impossible to find investors easily.The plot of a rookie who casts a script to a film company, is discovered to be amazingly talented, and is finally chased by the film company crying and asking to buy the script will only appear in novels.

How many scripts does a major studio receive each year?There must be tens of thousands.It is impossible for them to study every script carefully, and they can only roughly classify them into consideration, pending consideration and not consideration.

To use an analogy, if there are tens of millions of people who want to invest in film production, will you invest in the book of a well-known playwright, or the good book of an inexperienced rookie who swears to the sky that it will be absolutely successful?I believe many people will have a clear answer.Even if that rookie writes really well, how many people are willing to risk their own large sums of money?After all, even well-known playwrights sometimes hit the street, let alone a newcomer.

Let’s take her in the past as an example. If she hadn’t filmed some successful commercials, would anyone have asked her to shoot TV?If she hadn't made some lucrative TV shows, would anyone have approached her to make movies?Where such things as qualifications are placed is a very important item.

Furthermore, Hollywood is very exclusive. Even if you are a very famous actor in a foreign country, it does not mean that you will find opportunities to participate in Hollywood when you come to Hollywood.Even if you find an opportunity, it is impossible to have any advantage over local actors, unless you let them see your box office appeal.

So what the agent said was very pertinent.No matter what kind of movie you make, it is definitely a very good qualification to win a leading role first.Of course, it would be even better if the movie with the leading role could sell well, but how could such an opportunity be easily obtained by a foreign actor who came to test the waters?
Reminiscent of what happened in her previous life, Laila poked her head out with some emotion, wanting to see the two people who were talking.It didn't matter if she looked at it, the person who appeared in sight startled her, because she knew the actress, and she would be quite a big name in the future.

Cate Blanchett won the Best Supporting Actress Oscar for her outstanding performance in "The Aviator" in 2005. In 2013, she won the title of Best Actress for "Blue Jasmine". It can be said that she is a combination of beauty and strength. All-in-one actor.

But that was a few years later, and she is now an Australian actress fresh out of drama school.Although he also won the Best Newcomer Award and Best Actress Award from the Sydney Drama Critics Committee, such awards are of no use to win Hollywood.

This is a great opportunity to come to your door!

Lyra's heart was burning. She knew too well what a good actor could do to a script.Maybe the current Kate does not have outstanding acting skills in the future, but at least she has potential, and after some polishing, she will definitely be able to produce amazing effects.

If she remembers correctly, next year, that is, in 1997, Kate will star in her first Hollywood movie "Road to Heaven", starting her brilliant Hollywood stardom.In 1999, she won her first Oscar nomination in her life with "Elizabeth".

Now she is still a dusty pearl, and no one has discovered her potential as a pearl.Can anyone resist the insane sense of accomplishment of unearthing a future Oscar-winning actress?

At least Lyra believed she couldn't.

The heroine wants her!
No need to look at other people, she has already made a decision in her heart.
