Reborn Hollywood Ladies

Chapter 7 The Screen Actors Union
It has to be said that Claire's brain hole is also wide open.If it was replaced by the original little Laila, maybe such a situation would really happen.It's not that I don't like her, but who wants to be watched all day long? This can't be done, and what can't be done?That is to say, Xin Laila, who has a mature soul, knows that those people are really thinking of her.

Claire sat on a chair in the dining room with the script in her arms and looked at it. She is a very talented person, otherwise she would not have been hired as Laila's special assistant, nanny and nurse, and she has been doing it for more than ten years.

So after she scanned the script at a glance and ten lines, she realized that it was not the childish plot she thought.Although she can't tell what the finished product will be like from the above, she thinks it might have a good effect.

Shouldn't it be a loss?

"How?" Seeing her put down the script, Laila asked nervously.

Claire gave her a reassuring smile: "That's great honey, it's even better than I thought."

"Then I'm relieved." Laila also knew that she was not a professional, and she knew that her words probably contained a lot of content to make her happy, but it didn't affect her good mood.Because she really knows how good this script is, and how much surprise it can bring her in the future.

Give the script to Claire and ask her to hand it over to the employees of the company.Anyway, she is also a boss with dozens of idlers under her command, so she doesn't need to take all kinds of things on herself.With jobs, I believe employees will have more confidence in the company.

Now that the script is ready, the budget and props will be arranged by the people in the company. Finding the right actors has become the most important thing for Laila now.

In Hollywood, a waiter or a taxi driver at any store might pull out a badge certifying that he is a professional actor and say what movies he's been in.

Yes, this is Hollywood.

As long as you pay a small fee to the actor union, you can enjoy the treatment of some actors.And when you have participated in some shootings, your level will increase, just like those famous actors.

The labor unions in China are completely incomparable with those there. Hollywood actors' unions have a very strong back and a great voice, and they will really help actors solve problems and disputes.

Take the script this time as an example. If you need any actors, just list the conditions to the actor union, and they will give you a list of all qualified ones, and then the film company will choose them.Of course, you can also recruit actors yourself, but more actors still rely on the arrangement of the union.

Lila has been interested in the Screen Actors Guild of America for a long time, how could she miss this opportunity?So after having a good night's sleep and sweeping away the exhaustion from the previous period, she came to the actor's union refreshed with a small backpack on her back.

"Hello. Fill out these forms if you want to apply for a union."

As soon as Leila walked to the front desk, she was handed over several forms by the sweet-looking receptionist.

Uh, do you think she came to be an actress?She returned the form dumbfounded: "Hi, I'm not here to register actors. I wrote a script and want to start filming, and I need a few suitable actors."

The front desk lady took the form back in surprise: "Sorry, what kind of actors do you need? How much will the salary be?"

Although she was a little surprised, she didn't take it very seriously.Some students will find actors to shoot some documentaries or small theaters, and they are already familiar with it.

Lila had thought about it before coming: "It's $18 each. I need an actress between the ages of 25 and [-]. The other two male actors are about the same age, because they will play The most important ones are college students, and it is best to look like a college student with a youthful atmosphere and be able to show a lot of vitality and curiosity."

The soul of the movie is the three protagonists, and she is not interested in finding the rest of the extras one by one. Her own staff will arrange everything for her.Even if those people don't have much skill, they are still professional, and there will be no problem in doing such trivial things.

"Okay, I have already recorded your request, may I ask if the audition will be at the union or somewhere else?"

Ten thousand dollars was not a small amount at the time, and even actors with some experience were very attractive.That's the protagonist. Many people don't need money to participate in the show. What they need is a resume.Not to mention newcomers, they are willing to give everything in order to get a role.

But for Laila, someone with a little experience is more suitable.You get what you pay for, and she doesn't want to give herself a headache just to save that little money.

The final interview was scheduled for Phoenix Films two days later.Originally, she didn't want to pull the company out, but then she thought that her conditions were not enough to be trusted, and worried that actors with potential and strength would not like her, so she had to take the company out to raise the banner.Even if it's a studio that only makes B movies, it's still a studio, right?

Heather Donahue was originally supposed to play the heroine in the movie, and Laila didn't really want to use her.Because although she was nominated for Best Actress in the "Online Film Critics Association" with "Kral the Witch", she was also favored by the Golden Raspberry Award once.

The plum in the Golden Raspberry Award is actually a wrong translation. The correct one should be raspberry. Probably because this kind of thing is not well-known in China, it was translated into the current sour plum.

If the Oscar is the dream of all actors, then the golden raspberry is the nightmare of all actors. Historically, there are very few guests on stage to receive awards in person.

It started in 1980 and was founded by a person named John Wilson. It was spontaneously awarded "trophies" by fans to those bad American movies of the year.Every year, the day before the Oscars starts, it spews acid water into the world.

Laila didn't want her first work to be associated with that sour trophy, so she would choose the heroine carefully.

Back at Phoenix Company, Secretary Demi hurriedly greeted her: "Miss Moran, your script has been sent down, and the budget is being calculated now, and about the actors..."

"I went to work as an actor just now, and asked them to find three candidates who are suitable for the leading role, and let others find the rest of the extra roles."

"Okay." Demi clumsily recorded her words in the notebook, but because of carelessness, the folder she was holding fell to the ground, and all the documents inside were scattered around.

"Oh, God!" She exclaimed, and quickly knelt down to pick it up.A pair of huge boobs almost squeezed out of the poor suit.

Lila shook her head speechlessly, and took the lead in walking towards the elevator.She could see the reason why the little secretary was nervous when he saw her. It was obvious that her cheap father played the secretary and the boss game a lot when he was still alive.But now that the boss has been replaced by a young girl, those old methods of serving the male boss are useless. As long as she is upset, she can be kicked out of the company at any time. No wonder she is so trembling.
