Looking at the childish Emma in front of him, Langston felt an inexplicable sense of joy.

After years of development, the Hollywood industry has gradually formed a self-system, and even the phenomenon of rampant unspoken rules in the early years has been strongly controlled. And vice versa, which also avoids the shady scene of the industry to the greatest extent. Moreover, in order to protect the interests of actors, the union also spares no effort, among which, the rules for nudity/exposure can be called harsh.

According to the regulations of the Actors' Guild, actors or stand-ins are required to sign a "Waiver of Nude/Exposure Statement" before performing the relevant nude/exposing scenes, which is not only a prior statement of the actor's willingness to appear nude/exposed and bed/play, but must also contain a description of the nude/exposed Cheng dù or physical contact Cheng dù, ensuring that the filming will be carried out in accordance with the agreement reached by both parties and within the scope of the actor's acceptance during the subsequent filming process.

Of course, if an actor repents after signing the statement, the law allows them to withdraw the statement, and the producer will directly send a substitute to the stage. And without the consent of the actors, even the stand-in is not allowed to appear casually - because it may cause illusion or misunderstanding among the audience.

In addition, due to the particularity of the fruit body or bed/play, in order to avoid being used by others and spreading to adversely affect the actors, the actors' union has made strict regulations on the process of these scenes during filming. The scene must not be disclosed to any of the parties except for the main cast and crew. It is forbidden for anyone to take stills of these scenes without the prior written permission of the actors. Sometimes, in order to prevent producers from using nude/exposed or bed/scene scenes in other places, the Screen Actors Guild even supports prohibitive clauses to prevent this from being used anywhere outside of the feature film, even in the feature film. Actors also have the right to review fruit shots.

It can be seen from this that the regulations of the actors' union are harsh. This is absolutely unimaginable for the European film circle, and in terms of scale and grasp, the openness of European films is much higher than that of Hollywood.

So, if Jessica refuses to shoot nude/revealing scenes. Lance is completely helpless, which is also the source of Jessica's confidence. Of course, there is no shortage of rookie actors in Hollywood, who do not hesitate to nod boldly in agreement in order to get on the throne, but after all, they are still a minority. Take "Fifty Shades of Grey" released in 2015 as an example, although this is a soft/erotic/erotic/movie, there are many large-scale scenes, and there are very few actresses willing to act; But even so. Dakota-Johnson's nudity/exposure in the film is still very limited.

The same situation is applied to minors, which is almost strictly forbidden in Hollywood, and because of the involvement of minors, the cumbersome process of the relevant legal provisions will rise several steps. Someone once joked that if Stanley Kubrick came to shoot "Lolita" now, then he would definitely give up because of the cumbersome Cheng dù.

Therefore, it is almost impossible to see relevant large-scale shots of minors in Hollywood movies. Even works involving minors. The subject matter and genre have become limited. Naturally, the situation that Emma feared was simply not possible.

But. The smile only twitched at the corner of his mouth, and Lance quickly suppressed the fluctuation of his feelings, still maintaining a professional and polite expression, and said in a deep voice, "No." The answer was concise and clear, without even much explanation. As if he didn't want to talk to Emma too much.

That's true, Lance doesn't want to have too much friendship with Emma.

Previously, Emma was just an offensive-free child for Lance - and of course, she is still a child now. So Lance's attitude is always more tolerant, and even inadvertently, revealing his true side, for example, the last conversation at Santa Monica Beach, children are always different for him; But now it's different, since that night, Emma saw the deal, it was the real him, dark and cruel real, he knew what a powerful shock it was to Emma as a child, he also knew what a terrible example his behavior was for most people with the right three views, he could even paint the fear in Emma's eyes, so, things were no longer the same.

Rather than waiting for Emma's retreat and rejection, Lance chose to hide himself, carefully hiding his truest self, building layers of defense around him in a dignified and cautious manner, and building an impregnable fortress tightly. After the experience of Diorama, trust has become a luxury for Lance.

So, Lance put away his tolerance and familiarity, put on the mask again, and put Emma in the same position as everyone else.

Emma looked at Lance seriously, she could feel the change in Lance's attitude, but unfortunately, she couldn't detect the true feelings under the mask. Lance was like an unassailable pretender, leaving no gaps in the making, so much so that Emma doubted her own judgment, as if she were a strange and cold, gentlemanly and detached collaborator, with no extra friendships, no extra emotions, no extra changes...... It's like a machine qì person.

This frustrates Emma, who wants to explore the truth but can't.

She knew that if it had been before, Lance would have joked with herself that she was thinking too much, and might even throw a disgusted look; But now, there was only one answer, and Yan Sù answered seriously, as if he didn't realize that she was joking.

Emma tugged at the corners of her mouth, trying to smile, but unfortunately, this smile was so bad, awkwardly like a puppet, "That's good, that'...... I was relieved. Emma laughed dryly and replied jerkyly. So, is the audition over? Don't you need me to put on a show? Or is it to show off my talents? ”

The corners of Lance's mouth twitched imperceptibly, and his mind couldn't help but think of the stage of talent display such as "American Idol" or "America's Got Talent", full of joy, but there was no pause in the words, "No. The answer seemed a bit too simplistic, and Lance thought for a moment before adding, "Sebastian showed me your video." ”

Today's audition is mainly about the linkage between Emma and Jessica, as well as some basic understanding of the characters by the two people. Looking at it now, Jessica's acting skills are very average, and she is still more suitable for vase-like roles; On the contrary, Emma brought an unexpected surprise, although she is only fifteen years old, it can already be seen that she has her own understanding of acting.

So, Lance will give them some time to prepare, and at the same time audition for other actresses, and then see if they need a second audition, or just make a decision.

Emma nodded, pursing her lips a little nervously, "That's already my best performance, I hope I can meet the requirements." The slightly playful words made people laugh, but alas, Emma still didn't see any change in Lance's expression, she exhaled in frustration, and then took a deep breath, her drooping shoulders reinvigorated, "Well, that's the audition for today, I'll read the script well when I go back, and I hope to win the role." Emma's eyes widened, and she said sarcastically, then stood up, "Goodbye...... Mr. Strello," Emma hesitated for a moment, but finally chose the title, "it is my pleasure to meet you!" ”

With that, Emma stretched out her right hand, as if it were really the first time they met.

Lance's gaze locked on Emma's face, and after a pause of about half a second, he also stretched out his right hand, shook it politely, and immediately let go.

Emma didn't stop any longer, turned around and walked in the direction where Sebastian was. Lance looked at Emma's back, paused slightly for two seconds, and then lowered his eyes, covering his eyes, and burying all his feelings in the fog. Emma turned her head secretly, and then saw Lance looking down to sort out the script, not paying attention to her actions at all, and the loss in her heart was like a bleak autumn wind, gently blowing by.

Cole left his position, nodded at Emma with a smile, staggered, and walked in the direction of Lance; Sebastian greeted Emma and whispered, "How did the audition feel?" Will Lance be harsh? I've heard it before, he never shows mercy when it comes to his profession, and even Tom is reprimanded so much that he can't speak. ”

Emma retracted her gaze and couldn't help but pull out a smile, some mocking and some bitter - even Sebastian thought of Lance as a stern person, and it seemed that everyone had the same impression of Lance. So, was she wrong? Were all those thoughts her delusion? She was right in her previous thoughts, Lance is indeed a demon?

"No, we just communicated about the characters, and then he left his homework." Emma's tone was brisk, and she said with a smile, "Now it depends on whether I can get this role or not, it depends on the effect of homework." Seeing the worry on Sebastian's face, Emma patted his arm and comforted him in turn, "I'm already a little older than the character requires, so didn't we have hope at first?" But it's different now, at least I've won the chance. ”

At the end of the words, Emma was blessed to her heart, and she suddenly realized that in the brief conversation just now, Lance seemed to see her hard work and talent, was this also her delusion? Emma turned her head again, and then saw that Cole was the only one left in the position, and in just this short time, Lance disappeared, Emma looked around in a bit of a panic, trying to find Lance in the coffee house, but she failed.

“…… Emma, Emma! Sebastian's voice pulled Emma back, "Are you alright?" ”

Emma shook her head, trying to retract her attention, but found that she couldn't help it, "I need to get out and be right back." With that, Emma turned around and strode towards the gate, leaving Sebastian standing alone, confused. (To be continued.) )
