Chapter 276: Skin Color
On Sunset Boulevard in Los Angeles, a car is speeding away.
Lucy Liu sat in the back seat with a confused face, looking at the person next to her.
But his agent also represented Drew?? Barrymore, Cameron?? Diaz and other stars are busy every day.
My own day-to-day affairs are basically taken care of by another small broker.
But today, how could this big man appear at the door of his apartment?
"Could it be that I'm already a first-class star?"
She began to try to recall the roles she had played recently.
The third female supporting role, the second female supporting role...
So, it's completely impossible!
"Lucy," the agent looked at her with a very serious expression on his face, "Universal, who just changed owners, invites you to audition. ”
"This is the first time that CAA and each other have cooperated. ”
Invite yourself by name?
Lucy Liu rolled her eyes slightly, "Which movie is this, and it lacks a special supporting role!"
To be honest, from the moment she came to Hollywood, she felt discriminatory.
Because of Bruce Lee, Jackie Chan and other movie stars, Chinese actors still have such a way out as filming action scenes.
But Chinese actresses can only mix in various crews and act as special actors.
Lucy Liu was also deeply dissatisfied with this status quo, so she went to Hong Kong, where Chinese-language films are most developed, to find a way out.
Unexpectedly, the people there didn't care about her appearance and acting skills, but hyped up her Hollywood experience.
"Since you are so superstitious about Hollywood as your highest goal, then I'll go back there and make a world. ”
With this in mind, Lucy Liu returned to Hollywood.
But the reality told her that the so-called women's rights and equal rights guided by Hollywood have nothing to do with Chinese Americans.
She still has to go through various crews and act as a special actor.
While Lucy Liu was thinking, the car had arrived at the office building of Universal.
The agent examined her carefully, then nodded.
"It's just a special supporting role, is it so exaggerated?" Liu Yuling couldn't open the car door and walked down.
The sight she could see made her stunned in place.
Not recruiting Chinese special actors?
How can there be so many white people?
Moreover, they are all men?
"It's yours. A staff member came and handed Lucy Liu the script for the audition.
She flipped through the script and found that it was her own character, a rich man who wanted to take a woman to a luxury store.
"Is this, do you want me to play a Chinese lace side?"
Liu Yuling thought about the report about Huaguo for a while, then put away her indifferent attitude and began to prepare seriously.
Many unscrupulous media have publicized that in China, the same sex will be judged and put in a pig cage.
"Even if the role is not heavy, you can tell some people through the movie that Chinese and Chinese are not so conservative and feudal!"
Just then, a white man walked out of the audition room with a curse.
"Shady, definitely shady!"
"I only auditioned for two minutes and was passed!"
Shady?
Lucy Liu pursed her lips, "Shady scenes are better than unspoken rules!"
"At the audition scene of many movies, others look at their skin color and just pass it. ”
Soon, however, someone came out again!
"The protagonist must have been decided!"
"This should just go through the process!"
Looking at the actors who were coming in and out quickly, and looking at the agent's expectant eyes, Lucy Liu actually began to be a little nervous.
"Lucy Liu," a staff member called out her name.
"Use your habit of introducing yourself, there is a big man who likes this!" The agent hurriedly patted Lucy Liu on the shoulder and admonished.
Habits, big shots like?
She was a little confused and walked into the audition room.
But immediately, Lucy Liu found out that the real big man, Francis?? Coppola too.
The great director is talking and laughing with an Asian across a girl.
Lucy Liu felt that her hands and feet were a little cold, and she began to tremble uncontrollably.
"Introduce yourself. The young Asian commanded casually.
Who is this? Hollywood doesn't have such a young Asian in a high position, right?
"I'm Lucy Liu," she habitually added, "My Chinese name is Liu Yuling." ”
At this time, Lucy Liu found the young Asian and cast an admiring look at her.
"Let's go change into men's clothes. He smiled and waved his hand, directing the staff.
"So, it's a T!" she said, making a judgment and began to adjust her mental state.
"What's wrong with homosexuality, I'm rich," Lucy Liu hypnotized herself in her heart, "Naturally, you can have the girl you have a crush on!"
Alas, I'll go...
Wang gradually looked at this Asian woman who was thin but full of aura and was a little dazed.
Not to mention, this feeling is quite right!
"I'm so rich", isn't it this feeling of "pretending to be slapped in the face"?
"If it weren't for women, the audience's sense of substitution for the passion play would be seriously insufficient, maybe it would have been successful!"
Wang gradually glanced at the big director, Francis?? Coppola.
If anyone can oppose their decision, it must be this well-known director.
Unexpectedly, Francis smiled and nodded.
In fact, he has been immersed in Hollywood for many years, and he is very opposed to his daughter stepping into this muddy quagmire.
It's just that she won't let her daughter fail once, she will never be reconciled.
Sophia, the only one who hoped to succeed at the scene, questioned, "Let her play the leading role, is the box office appeal too insufficient?"
"It also depends on the director's shooting skills. Francis responded with a smile, "While filming 'The Godfather', Al?? Pacino was just a newcomer. ”
The male lead?
Hearing this, Lucy Liu's whole person fell into a state of stupor.
Do you want to play the leading role, or in a movie with a big director in charge?
Sophia looked at the two men beside her and frowned.
"Alright, you can go out first. ”
"How is it?" the agent immediately walked over when he saw Liu Yuling, and asked in an anxious tone.
"Let me go back and wait for news. Lucy Liu said dumbfoundedly, "Actually, it's the actor?"
"Waiting for news?" the agent muttered for a moment, "you sit here and wait for a while." ”
She pulled out her phone and didn't know who she had contacted.
"Lcuy, come with me later, the big guy who supports you!"
Supporting yourself?
Lucy Liu remembered the past, looked at the script again, bit her lip, and made a decision in her heart.
Soon, the people in the audition room walked out talking and laughing.
"Mr. Wang, Lcuy wants to invite you to dinner. The agent pulled Liu Yuling and came to Wang Yan.
Belch...
Wang gradually looked at the most famous Chinese woman in Hollywood and felt a little embarrassed.
For her own interests, it is estimated that she will receive a big bad movie...
"You don't have to eat, just hone your acting skills. Wang gradually groaned, but decided to leak the news, "You can go home and wait for the actor's script." ”
Even if it's a bad movie, you can actually see the acting skills...
"Actor, it's mine? And you don't have to pay anything?"
Liu Yuling looked at Wang Yan, and her good feeling increased greatly.
Such a young, powerful Asian is a great date!
Just when she came back to her senses, she saw that the other party had gone away.
"Lucy, this is a rare opportunity, you must take advantage of it!!" the agent said loudly.
At this time, an unsuccessful actor who had witnessed everything just now came over.
He shouted angrily at Lucy Liu: "You rely on skin color, not acting skills at all!"
"Ignore him!" the agent pushed the other party away and took Lucy Liu into the car.
"Whatever the reason, this is a rare opportunity, Lucy, don't be compromised. ”
"It doesn't matter. Lucy Liu felt that today's events seemed to be a dream.
"Because of skin color, race?" she muttered to herself, touching her face.
"Is that what the Jews feel?"
