Chapter 862: Ghost Casting

Ellen is a white girl who loves to perform, and she dreams of being the star of the limelight.

But since she dropped out of school and started participating in film and television performances, she has not been valued by the director.

She looks average, she doesn't have any talent, she is just an ordinary girl.

Ordinary walking on the street, no one will pay attention to the same.

New York, what a big, cosmopolitan city, and Ellen had to live in a dilapidated duplex apartment far from the city, with no comfortable bed and cobwebs on the ceiling when she lay down.

She hated the elevator in the apartment, it was dilapidated, and the landlord was a forgetful old man.

Every time she came home, the old landlord would shout in a quack-like voice: "Ellen!

Ellen didn't know if Gaba was the right adjective, but she didn't go to school, and she didn't have a lot of onomatopoeia.

"I handed it over!"

She hated the shouts of the old landlord, and she hated New York.

A wealthy white lady drives a pearl-white Bentley and can sunbathe at the beach, while she goes to the set or advertising agency every day to get a job on the show.

Ellen's life is terrible, yes, it's terrible.

But that doesn't defeat her, her pursuit of her dreams.

On this day, it was a sunny day, and Ellen's mood was not too good, not too bad.

If you are in a bad mood on a cloudy day, you are really just in a bad mood, but if you are in a bad mood on a sunny day, it is a tragedy.

Times Media Business Building.

Ellen received a notice from the Screen Actors Guild today asking her to come to this very tall building to interview for the lead actress of a movie.

Let's be honest. When she received this notice again. I thought it was a joke made by a friend.

But the next second. Ellen discarded the idea, did she have friends in New York?

It doesn't seem to be, it's just a man who gets drunk in the bar and is taken back to the shabby apartment by her, and on her shabby bed, pressing on top of her, so that the bed can occasionally make some squeaky and squeaky sounds.

Ellen's figure is not bad, if she wears heavy makeup. Dress a little more revealingly, and when you go to the bar, you will meet some men who say, "Hey, beautiful girl, I want to treat you to a drink." ”

Ellen doesn't know how many times she has heard this kind of thing, but every time she endures the feeling of nausea in her heart, she replies with a smile: "Okay, thank you." ”

And then, and then it was in that shabby apartment. Each man pressed her head and pressed down. Comfortably shouted: "Oh God, you are the most beautiful girl I have ever seen, I really love you to death." ”

In fact, the next morning, every man who came to her apartment, when he got up, said, "Damn, what the hell is this place?" ”

What I remember most clearly is that once, the spider on the ceiling accidentally fell and got into the man's disgusting armpit hair, and the director Ellen was innocently slapped in the face.

After that, Ellen didn't dare to take the man back to the apartment, but could only go to the motel on the side of the road.

However, following a strange man to a motel will make Ellen very uncomfortable, because men usually don't stay overnight, and even throw a handful of money at her when they leave.

Whenever Ellen saw them lose money, she would stand up angrily: "Get out! The old lady is not a cousin, the old lady is an actor." ”

It's an actor, that's right, an actor who usually doesn't even have lines, and after acting, maybe he will be cut by the director and have no zài at all.

Sitting on a bench, Ellen took out the mirror, and she could see her yellowish, somewhat spotted face, dark circles under her eyes caused by long-term insomnia, and some unkempt blonde hair that she had not had time to tidy up after waking up today.

By the way, her blonde hair may be as pretty as Marion's.

Don't ask, who Marion is, Ellen doesn't know, just remembers that a man once said that.

The interview door opened, and a yellow-skinned girl walked out and shouted, "Ellen Primus!"

Ellen knew that this was calling her, but she didn't know that the producer of this drama could invite Asian yellow-skinned people, could it be said that this drama was invested by foreigners?

It's better not to do this, I heard that the directors of foreign companies in Hollywood, especially Asian companies, are rubbish, illegal in filming, and have links with gangsters/gangs, which is something that Ellen has a hard time accepting.

A very large office, there were two tables in front of Ellen, and behind the desks sat three gentlemen, two foreigners, she didn't know, but there was a yellow man sitting in the middle, she seemed to be a little familiar.

It seems that she has seen it in the newspaper or on TV, but she is not very impressed.

However, Ellen can sense that he is a big man, at least for her, the man who can sit behind the interview table can decide her future fate.

"Ellen, imagine that you and your new boyfriend, in a new apartment, hear a knock knock in the basement, you sleep in the bed, your boyfriend sleeps deeply, he doesn't feel it, you wake up. ”

The yellow man in the middle spoke, and his English was really fluent, which made Ellen admire it, because her English sometimes stuttered.

Ellen thought for a moment, she decided to get up from her chair and said, "Sir, can I lie down?"

"Absolutely. ”

The yellow man agreed, and Ellen lay down on the ground, imagining herself in a comfortable sleeping position.

After a while, Ellen seemed to hear something, and got up in a daze, and sat up.

Her legs were slightly arched, her movements were very weird, and her expression was very confused.

The two men next to the yellow man couldn't help but laugh because they couldn't understand what this Ellen was doing again.

"OK, very good, you've got an interview!" The yellow man suddenly stood up and announced the results of the interview loudly with a smile on his face.

Ellen was surprised that she didn't seem to be done yet, or at least, she hadn't pretended to get up from her bed.

She arched her legs slightly just now, and the movements were very weird, but because she was sitting on the floor.

The floor, not the bed, when she got up, her legs naturally had to be slightly arched to show that she was going to stand up.

None of that matters, though.

Ellen seems to have heard the voice of the interview, although she is not sure, but she has already heard the guò, isn't she?

"Sir, I don't know the name of this movie yet, I don't know how big the investment of this movie is?"

"You don't need to know that, it's the heroine's contract, and as long as you sign it, you get paid $50,000 and you only have to work for a week. ”

"A week?"

Ellen was surprised, what movie can be made in a week, this is not a movie, it is a short film.

If it's only a week, then the heroine's salary is too high.

Ellen looked at this yellow man, and she thought to herself that she wouldn't meet a crew that was filming/erotic!

"I'm sorry, sir, I refuse this show!"

The yellow man was stunned, including the two men behind him, and the girl who called her in, like a clerk's secretary.

Everyone in this room looked at Ellen with a particularly strange expression.

Like, as if just looking at idiots.

The yellow man said, "You, you don't know me, do you?"

Ellen nodded subconsciously.

The yellow man smiled, and he introduced himself very seriously: "Sorry ma'am, let me introduce myself, my name is King Lee, you can call me Lee, or King can do it." ”

When Ellen heard the name, she couldn't help but want to laugh at the yellow man, but she suddenly seemed to remember something.

King Lee is not the one who is fighting a lawsuit with Bill Gates, the president of Microsoft and the richest man in the world.

Isn't it the chairman of Google Group, or an oriental legend that the people of Magnesium China hate and love?

A man who is said to be already the real richest man in the world?

"Oh, ah, ha, hahahaha......" Ellen didn't know how to express her surprise, she was very excited, tears suddenly fell inexplicably, there was a kind of panic that I didn't know what to do, but there were also some people who suddenly got great happiness in their hearts, and they were helpless with great surprises.

At this time, the little girl behind Mr. King Li picked up her mobile phone and read a text message, then approached and said, "Chairman, Madame told you to hurry up." ”

"Miss Ellen, the specific situation, the assistant director Donald, and the producer Bolan will talk to you in detail. ”

After Li Feiteng finished speaking, he hurriedly walked out of the room with Tang Yan.

Ellen's mouth grew up, and it opened very wide, she covered her mouth, and she cried uncontrollably.

Donald and Bolan both shrugged their shoulders in understanding.

Both of them are industry insiders hired by Hollywood Tengda Film Group, although they are not famous, but they have already made some achievements.

They also couldn't understand why the high-powered billionaire Li Feiteng would attach so much importance to a small production of Zuò movies with an investment of no more than a few hundred thousand dollars.

And to be able to write such a simple script, such an ordinary thing.

Not only that, in the choice of male and female protagonists, they are actually looking for the most ordinary and low-level extras.

No fame, no works, just this group of people on the very edge of Hollywood.

"Ms. Ellen, this is the script and the contract, you have to take a good look at the content in it, especially the non-disclosure agreement, if it is violated, you need to pay 100 times the salary, that is, 5 million US dollars, if you can agree to this, you are the heroine of this movie. ”

Ellen had regained her senses at this time, she wiped her tears and looked at the contract seriously.

In the contract, it is stated that as the heroine, she cannot disclose any content of the script, and in the filming and promotion process of the movie, she cannot contact the outside world and wants to live in a five-star resort hotel in New York.

Of course, as compensation, during the release of the movie, she can choose to receive film and television training from Tengda Film Group and sign a series of film contracts for "Ghost Shadow".

The series of films has a long-term contract, and actually gave Ellen an annual salary of $360,000 a year. (To be continued......)
