30. Chapter 30
"Dr. House" has successfully gained a wave of attention as more and more episodes are gradually aired.
As the main characters in a play, everyone has gained a certain amount of attention, except for House and Lisa, Elisa is the one who has benefited a lot because of "Dr. House".
As an agent, although she is very optimistic about Elisa's development, she can't leave the other client areas in her hands to help Elisa fight for resources, so after helping Elisa get the script of "Hard Candy", she has been in a free-range state for Elisa.
So when Louisa heard the popularity of "Doctor House", she remembered that she hadn't told her about Elisa's future plans.
So Louisa called Elisa to the company and congratulated her first.
Of course, she also asked about the filming of the already finished "Fruit Hard Candy" by the way.
"I've watched the ratings of 'Dr. House' for a few weeks, and it's very impressive." Luisa walked over and patted Elisa on the shoulder: "Some people have been in contact with our team these days, so, Elisa, I am very confident in your future development." ”
Within a month, being praised by two people in a row, Elisa couldn't help but feel a little excited.
"The filming of Hard Fruit Candy is over, David. When is Slade's side going to be released? Luisa asked.
Now Elisa's time is money for them, and they naturally have to grasp the heat brought by "Dr. House", so as not to let the opportunity slip away in vain.
"It's about January next year." Elisa said.
"It's good, it's not very long, and Halloween and Christmas have already passed."
"What about the propaganda after that? How did David plan to arrange it? I'll have to talk to him about it before I can decide what you're going to do next. ”
After the compliment, Louisa also gave Elisa a beating.
"Acting is what makes you stand in Hollywood." Luisa said: "You must know that Hollywood does not give her too many opportunities to rise as an actress, so you must seize this opportunity." ”
Elisa for Louisa. Lindsay's words are undeniable.
"David. Slade also wanted to have the idea of taking a film to a film festival. "Elisa finally knew why David after the shooting. Slade and Higgins will be in such a hurry to make this film, in addition to saving money, the most important thing is to make it in time for the film festival in January.
As David. Slade's first feature film debut, and his emphasis on the film is unimaginable.
“good!” A satisfied smile appeared on the corner of Luisa's mouth, and for Elisa, she became more and more pleasing to the eye.
The resources in the hands of each broker are limited in a certain way, and although they may say fairness or something like that, the skew of resources is always inevitable.
The advantage of a large company is that he often controls resources in a variety of fields, although UTA is not as good as CAA, a kind of Hollywood giant, but as one of the four major brokerage companies, it shows a little resources, and it is enough for Elisa to be used for a long time at this stage.
There are people in UTA, and as an actress who has already filmed a TV series and movie, it is certainly impossible for Luisa to let Elisa go to a training class of any company.
That's for Luisa. It's a bit too cheap.
A star is like a brand, always be careful to maintain the external image, as for the inside, as long as others are not found or exposed, the general agent will not care, in addition to some necessary strength and luck in the entertainment industry, sometimes public opinion can also play a little role.
Luisa walked halfway, suddenly turned around and asked Elisa behind her: "I seem to have heard that you know a little Chinese kung fu?!" ”
"Well, actually, it can't be completely called Chinese kung fu." Elisa said that an American girl with an authentic appearance suddenly learned the mysterious Chinese kung fu, no matter how she thought about it, it was a bit strange.
Fortunately, the set of boxing methods given by the system is not completely in accordance with the Chinese way, it is more like a combination of the strengths of a hundred schools, so Elisa can change some movements slightly, and she can also fool the past is the so-called combination of modern and classical.
"There are not many actresses who act in dramas, and even fewer who act wonderfully." Luisa gave her a meaningful look: "If you can play well enough, there are many opportunities waiting for you." ”
Louisa did not say these words simply for the sake of the future, but for the present, a possibility was gradually constituted in her mind.
She looked at the perfect arc of the jaw of this Hollywood star, and thought of the relationship between the extraordinarily sophisticated back of the action movie and this beautiful face, which was very interesting.
If there is a point to see, it is equal to a selling point.
The popularity of the TV series "Dr. House" continues to ferment, and Elisa is also very popular because of Alison. Cameron's role gradually became known to everyone, and when Luisa told her that someone on the Internet had set up a small fan club for her, Elisa's expression was not only shocked, but also a little excited.
Although there are few people in the so-called club, it is also very satisfying for Elisa.
In her previous life, she lived a life of eating and waiting for death, but now, this kind of step-by-step efforts on her own, although it is hard, it has inspired her fighting spirit even more.
"Congratulations to the host for successfully recognizing the meaning of life, skill points +1." The cold, mechanical electronic voice sounded in her head, and Elisa was startled by the sudden words, and her feet were bent as she was walking.
"Miss Serena, are you alright?" As Elisa's assistant, Angela naturally followed Elisa's side all the time, watching her suddenly stumble and immediately support her.
"I'm fine." Elisa smiled and said to Angela that she shouldn't worry too much.
She realized that the voice in her head was a system she hadn't seen in a long time.
“001?!” She said to herself.
"What's the matter?" It was still a cold tone, and the words that came out carried a smell of solemnity.
"Nope."
Elisa's sudden appearance of 001 comes as a big shock, and after saying goodbye to Angela, she returns to her small apartment.
"Congratulations to the host for successfully recognizing the meaning of life, skill points +1?" She muttered a repetition of 001's words, a little puzzled.
She can probably know the meaning of life refers to the paragraph she thinks, but - skill points?!
What the hell is going on in the system space again!
"Hello, I'm the hell system 001, not some hell system."
001, who had disappeared for a long time, answered so many words from her as soon as she came out, although it wasn't much, but compared to the feeling that the person you called was not in the service area for most of the previous half a year, Elisa still felt that this feeling was great!
"So, why did you disappear for so long? 001? Elisa asked, a little curious.
She still has a sense of intimacy with 001.
No one answered her questions.
Is it gone again?
“001?” She cried out again in her heart.
"What's the matter?"
"Why didn't you ignore me before?" Elisa asked.
"A large part of the operation of the system space is based on the operation of integrals."
"So?"
"So you can see how much your points have dropped while talking to me."
――――――!
Hehe!
Holding on to her hard-earned points, she found that it had been reduced by nearly a third at once, and she had no income during this time, and the points she had originally saved were the ones she had planned to buy in the store that she had been spying on for a long time.
But - now -
Elisa really felt a little tired.
After understanding the meaning of 001, Elisa naturally wouldn't use her points to chat with 001.
She turned on her computer and searched for what Luisa called the fan club.
clicked on the website, and there were only two or three kittens of registered users, Elisa thought for a while, and also registered an account for herself.
"Hell" she typed these three words, and successfully saw the news that the ghost user had successfully registered.
After Elisa came to Hollywood. Familiar friends such as Jenny are all in Los Angeles, and most of the friends in the crew now have their own jobs, so naturally they can't chat with her when they are bored.
Her greatest happiness every day when she is acting is to sleep, and after a day of high-intensity work, who is still impatient to chat with you for a while.
The work of an actor is really a portrayal of drought when it is dry, and waterlogging when it is flooding.
It's not boring for her to stay at home, she has nothing to do to look up TV on Rotten Tomatoes or IMD, and figure out other people's acting skills.
When she has nothing to do, she will fiddle with the system and see if there is anything good and cheap for her to get her hands on.
But she didn't contact others, but she was unexpectedly contacted by others.
Looking at the phone from Allen. Peggy's text message, Elisa finds a little strange.
She didn't know this Miss Peggy very well, but she actually took the initiative to text her and ask her how she felt about making a movie.
Could it be that she is unwilling to play the role of Hailey?
Out of politeness, Elisa returned her text message anyway.
"Good, thank you for your concern."
"I'll watch the movie after it comes out, and I think your acting skills that day were great."
"Thank you."
Elisa had thought that with Louisa's efficiency, she shouldn't be able to rest for long.
But what she didn't expect was that the first thing she was waiting for was not the cooperation of a TV series or movie, but...
An ad invitation.
