Chapter 30 Invitation
Although this house is a bungalow, the area is quite large, probably the owner wanted to use this place as a set of relations when he built it, the interior decoration of the house is exquisite and elegant, the overall look is quite tasteful, and the living room, bedroom, kitchen, study, and workshop are all available, especially in some relatively hidden places, in the reserved photo space, you can shoot the panorama of the corresponding room.
Murphy was pleased with the place, and after a round turn, he went into the soundproofed study with the real estate agent.
"Mr. Wayne......"
Sitting on the high-backed sofa, Murphy looked at the real estate agent next to him, "If I rent for a month and a half at a time, how much will it cost?" β
Wayne's head spun quickly, and he immediately said, "Nine thousand nine hundred dollars!" β
"What?" Murphy frowned, "It's too expensive." β
"Mr. Stanton, you can't say that." Wayne raised his hand and pointed outside, "That crew is a daily rent, and the rent is as high as five hundred dollars a day." I know you're different from them, you're shooting a regular movie, that's why you're giving a discount. β
"I dare say it's not easy to find a good house like this in Los Angeles, where there's plenty of space, all the furniture, and the dΓ©cor is almost brand new, so you can shoot the interior scene right away." If you rent a set for shooting, the cost is more than this, and the effect may not be good. β
Obviously, this is a very experienced real estate agent.
Murphy was unmoved, "The price is too high. β
In fact, he was completely able to accept the price offered by the other party, but the current situation is that if you can save it, you can save it, and the cost saved can also be invested in the filming production.
The real estate agent muttered for a few seconds, "Nine thousand dollars, no matter how little I can't explain to the landlord, you can only find other places." β
With his fingers tapping lightly on the armrest of the couch, Murphy decided, "Okay, nine thousand dollars." β
After agreeing on the time to officially sign the contract, Murphy was the first to leave the study, and just turned into the living room through the guΓ² corridor, Jessica Chastain next to him couldn't help but open her mouth when she saw the scene being filmed in the living room, and if she didn't immediately reach out and cover her mouth, she would definitely exclaim in surprise.
Someone on the other side made a stop gesture, and Murphy immediately stopped and stood at the exit of the hallway.
Behind the camera in the living room, the director suddenly shouted to stop, took off his baseball cap, stood up and asked, "What the hell is going on with you, can you still do it today?" β
The one who was questioned was a sleek actor who was not wearing any clothes on his body, and he was also in a hurry.
Opposite him, the blonde woman Murphy had seen earlier was also all naked, lying on the sofa and looking at the other side, and said loudly to the director, "Marco, let's change people, otherwise we will waste our time all day." β
The director immediately pointed at the actor and said, "You go and rest first." β
The actor looked down and left the living room dejectedly.
Originally, there were only these two actors in the living room, but now that the actor is gone, the director is not looking for other candidates, he tells the photographer a few words, strips naked and walks to the sofa, and temporarily acts as the male lead......
"Original...... It turned out that ...... "After the initial surprise, Jessica Chastain gradually returned to normal, peeking into the set of the fierce battle," it turned out that this crew was shooting this kind of movie. β
Murphy crossed his arms and looked over there with interest, this was the first time he had seen the shooting of this kind of film, "Don't underestimate this industry, the annual output value is not less than the total box office in North America." β
Even, the female star who was pressed on the sofa later earned more than 99% of Hollywood stars.
Seeing Murphy looking over there with appreciation, Jessica Chastain muttered, "I hope this movie fails and you become one of them." β
The voice was very low, but it was heard by Murphy, and he whispered nonchalantly, "At the beginning, I also considered making this kind of film to complete the initial accumulation of funds. β
Jessica Chastain realized that the guy next to her was far more cheeky than she imagined.
The scenes in the scene were not at all as smooth as what Murphy had seen on the computer, the two sides would pause from time to time, and those difficult poses were indeed very physically draining.
Standing here, I waited for nearly half an hour before the scene was over, and the crew in the living room entered the rest time again.
The hero and heroine seem to be tired, and they don't care about other people's eyes, just sitting on the couch naked, drinking water and panting.
Seeing this situation, Murphy could only sigh secretly, "The money in this industry is not easy to fight, not to mention the high risk of contracting AIDS and other infectious diseases, and the requirements for body shape and body shape are also quite strict when shooting." β
After the filming ended, no one came to stop them, Murphy had no intention of staying, this kind of scene was full of interest when he first watched the scenes, and after a while, he felt bored, especially when he saw the so-called difficult actions with great effort, and he couldn't help but feel that the ones he saw in front of the computer were no different from other acting.
To put it bluntly, as with regular movies, it's all acting, but one in high Hollywood and the other in the infamous San Fernando Valley.
Passing through the living room, Murphy opened the door, and just walked out with Jessica Chastain, the back door was suddenly opened, and a person hurriedly walked out of it.
The other party's long curly golden hair was scattered casually on his shoulders, and his angular face still carried the exhaustion after a large exercise, perhaps because he came out too quickly, and he didn't have time to put on other clothes, so he draped a long thin blanket, and the situation inside loomed as he walked.
"Mr. Stanton......" she walked towards her, "please wait. β
Murphy turned his head to look at her, wondering what the heroine was looking for him, and his face deliberately showed a little doubt.
She seemed to know a little bit about Murphy and the two, and walked over to say hello, "Hello, Mr. Stanton." Hello, Miss Chastain. β
Murphy nodded at her, "Hello." β
"Sorry to bother you......" The blonde woman tugged at a pair of slippers and came to Murphy, "I'm Jenna Jameson." β
She pointed to the house in the back, "One of the heroines and investors of this crew." β
This is the famous Jenna Jameson, Murphy certainly knows, and politely said, "It's a pleasure to meet you, Miss Jameson." β
"Call me Jane or Jenna." Her smile was warm and her speech was direct, "Listen to Wayne, you're going to shoot a feature film here?" β
Hearing this, Murphy roughly understood what she was coming from, and nodded, "Until next month." β
Jenna James immediately picked up, "It's really enviable to be a Hollywood director at your age. β
Murphy smiled, "It's just luck." β
"Really?" Jenna Jameson reached out her right hand wrapped in a blanket and handed over a card, "Here's my business card......"
She made a phone call, but instead of leaving immediately, she turned to Jessica Chastain, looked her up and down, and finally stopped her eyes on her bulging chest, and magically pulled out another business card and handed it over.
Jessica Chastain didn't understand what she meant, but politely took it.
"Your conditions are very good......," Jenna Jameson said in a tentative tone, "If you are interested in this industry, you can call me, and I guarantee that you will be popular all over the United States with one film." β
Hearing this, Jessica Chastain's nose almost crooked, and for a moment, she couldn't say anything.
Murphy wanted to laugh, but held back, patted Jessica Chastain on the back, and took Jenna Jameson's words, "This kind of may not exist zΓ i, Jesse is a top student at Juilliard." β
Jenna Jameson shrugged her shoulders and didn't say anything more, looking into Jessica Chastain's eyes with imperceptible envy and jealousy, as if lamenting the injustice of fate.
"Goodbye." She waved at Murphy and said with a pun, "Hope to get your call." β
Seeing Jenna Jameson leave, Murphy also walked towards the car, waited for Jessica Chastain to get into the passenger seat, started the car and drove onto the road from which she came.
Jessica Chastain sat in the passenger seat, looking at the business card in her hand with resentment.
Murphy glanced at her and casually persuaded, "It's just an invitation." β
"But she invited me into the world of adult cinema!" Jessica Chastain said dissatisfied.
"That's nothing, she has the right to invite, and you have the right to refuse."
After all, there was just a girl who had just stepped out of the ivory tower, lacking experience in dealing with it, and her face had not yet been trained, Murphy turned around, and after the Ford turned onto the road, he said, "Actually, this also shows that your own conditions are very good." β
Jessica Chastain thought about it, and it was indeed the truth.
She thought that the other party had given Murphy a business card and asked, "Why did she give you a business card?" Want to seduce you? β
"Seduce me?" Murphy shook his head, "I wasn't interested, and she must not have been interested at the time. β
The other party was one of the top shavers in his own circle, how could he be interested in a nobody like him in that tired situation.
The two seemingly different circles between Hollywood and the San Fernando Valley are actually quite related, for example, when Hollywood's big-name stars hold carnival parties, they often invite some adult actresses to participate, especially the kind of masked messaging conventions, these actresses are active participants.
Jessica Chastain had long since discovered that she lacked too much in terms of experience, and the person sitting next to her, younger than her, was cunning like a fox.
She asked curiously, "So what is her purpose?" β
"It's nothing more than wanting to expand my social circle and get to know more people, especially those related to Hollywood." Murphy raised a finger and pointed at himself, "In her eyes, I am a potential stock, and I have some relationship with me, if I can succeed, maybe she can also use it to enter Hollywood." β
Nodding his head clearly, Jessica Chastain asked suspiciously, "Is this possible?" β
"It's not possible at all." Murphy shook his head, "These women thought the San Fernando Valley would be the backyard to Hollywood. It's a pity that as long as you choose to enter this circle, the road to Hollywood will be closed forever. β
Having said that, Murphy thought that the other party was Jenna Jameson, so he still kept her business card, and he couldn't tell when he would be able to use it, after all, the fame of the queen of the circle was not blown out.
