Jenny. The restaurant where Jane works is called 'Hollywood Star', and you can imagine how close it is to Hollywood, although the grade here is too low, and the chance of a big star coming to eat is almost zero, but it is better than a long time to open, the food is good, and there are a few celebrity photos hanging on the walls of the restaurant. Chen Zhen believes Jenny. Jane chose to work here, and there were some considerations about getting closer to the water.

As for her, she stayed here after the crossing, entirely because the salary of this store was not bad, although she also met two people who claimed to be scouts and accosted her within a month, but Chen Zhen was not interested in it, as an insider who studied in film school and kept in touch with many classmates after graduation, she deeply knew that almost all the stories of 'being discovered by talent scouts on the street' are hype.

Maybe at the beginning of the film industry, when people didn't realize how many benefits it can bring to becoming a movie star, the production company did send talent scouts to find talented young men and women on the streets, but now in 2oo1? Even A.V actresses have fierce competition among them, at least the film industry no longer needs talent scouts, on the contrary, there will be some labels under the record company that are discovering new blood, and of course, the advertising industry and the modeling industry also maintain the traditional 'talent scout' system. But this kind of regular talent scouts keep the company's fixed number, and they will also give business cards, and the so-called talent scouts who talk to her in restaurants are nothing more than trying to deceive. It's just a cannon, and if you go deeper, it's possible to cheat money.

Although this kind of scam has been around since the twenties, the heroine Lockhee was undoubtedly deceived by a salesman who claimed to be a relative of the producer in the film "Chicago" in the next two years, but it is still thriving today, there are too many pretentious and hopeful men and women in Los Angeles, and it is not Jenny who works in a restaurant with a dream of stardom waiting for an opportunity. Jane, in fact, the other hostess of the Hollywood star is also as interested in the entertainment industry as her, but her goal is more realistic, she wants to enter the advertising industry first, starting as an advertising model, and then strive for a role in the TV series.

It's a good idea, but it doesn't make sense to Chen Zhen, and the reason is simple - she doesn't have that much time.

She crossed in 2o14, and now it is 2oo1 year, and she will only be given 14 years to complete the calculation, and after 14 years, one of her major advantages will disappear, that is, she no longer knows what films will be popular, what films will hit the street, in order not to waste this prophetic advantage, it is impossible for her to start from a TV series and then turn to the big screen, after all, there is almost no precedent for an actress from a TV series to dominate Hollywood, a successful American drama such as "Friends", is often a seven or eight years of filming cycle, and will characterize the image of the actor in the minds of the audience, which is very detrimental to the actor himself, not to mention how difficult it is to transfer from the TV drama circle to the film industry.

Of course, no one dominates Hollywood by being an advertising model, being a model, shooting A.V, filming reality shows, singing, etc.

If she wants to dominate Hollywood, the only way is to act in movies, and she can only start from movies, so she has a faint hope that she will complete this task at least 7o% to 8o% in 14 years. As for how to get to the top...... Chen Zhen hadn't thought about this herself, and she didn't even know how to quantify this goal.

Even if it's just the short-term goal of 'acting in a movie' in front of her, it's enough for her to drink a pot.

Jenny. Jane served a few guests, got a handsome tip from them with a sweet smile, and seeing that most of the guests in her area were eating, she walked to the cabinet for a while, rested her sore legs against the cabinet, and began to mechanically analyze her next path.

To become an actor, of course, you have to find an agent, who has the audition channel in hand, knows all kinds of audition news, can issue audition applications for her, and contact various performance opportunities. If she is the object of her agent's favor and is willing to go to great lengths to recommend her, she will even be taken care of during the audition...... But the problem is that the more capable the agent is, the more picky the customer, at her current level, the agent she can find can receive a supporting role in the TV series, which has to be her special luck, the result of being favored by the agent, if she is not favored, she will directly introduce various models or TV series to the TV series as a start.

It's not that Chen Zhen is too picky, but in the entertainment industry, the first work is quite important, even if it is an independent film that will never be released, as long as you are acting in a movie, then the chance of receiving a movie in the next play is relatively large, and after a few plays, you can try to play the supporting role of a small production, and then the protagonist of a small production or a supporting role in a large production, and finally reach the protagonist of a large production. - Unless the star luck is extremely strong and you skip a few steps directly when you meet a nobleman, most of Hollywood's movie stars and actresses are also like this step by step.

Then the cycle returned: if you wanted to get an audition for a movie, you had to find a better agent, and the better agent had high requirements for the client. Her current qualifications are not enough to attract the attention of others, and she can't get this opportunity even if she wants to rely on her golden finger to show her acting skills.

It's like a circle of the Screen Actors Guild - the Screen Actors Guild provides many benefits, such as insurance and minimum wage negotiations, as well as introduction to performance opportunities, agent introductions, etc., if you want to join the Screen Actors Guild, you need a high-value performance contract, but if you don't join the Screen Actors Guild, it is difficult to get a high-paying performance contract.

For outsiders who have no relevant background connections, the entertainment industry is very closed, and it is extremely difficult to break into the circle.

Of course, this is also normal, it is so easy, the circle has long been overcrowded, and the higher the return circle, the higher the threshold, especially the film industry as the top level of the entertainment industry. If Jane is willing to be a model now, it will be much simpler, just take a few photos and send resumes all over the world, there will always be magazines that will ask for her.

The restaurant ushered in a small peak of dining at 12 noon. Jane held the plate and smiled businessmanly, harvested a round of tips, and was still calculating how to go in the gap between serving and checkout. Her golden finger is only added to her acting skills, and from now on, it is not to the level of a genius, if she wants to enter the showbiz, sorry, she really can't do it with confidence.

If it doesn't work, I won't go back...... started from a model to a TV series, and it is not impossible to eat with goldfingers. On her son's side, although it is the source of motivation for her to go back, objectively speaking, her ex-husband still loves this baby bump very much, and with his grandparents here, money and love cannot be too bad.

Of course, this is just the last one, there is really no way to comfort yourself, if you can, of course Chen Zhen still wants to reach the top as soon as possible and go back as soon as possible. But now she doesn't have a good way to break the game, so she can only exercise her body to the point where she is suitable for the camera, and then wait for the right opportunity.

If not, start with the community theater, although the competition for stage plays is also fierce, but because the pay is relatively low, the threshold is relatively low, first get a small role in the community theater, and then look for a supporting role in the big theater, you don't necessarily need a leading role, the exposure of the supporting role is enough for her to make some friends......

Wait until lunchtime is over, Jenny. Jane also had her own lunch break, but it wasn't long, as guests would come in for coffee and snacks throughout the afternoon. She can sit behind the bar and relax, but she needs to come out and serve customers from time to time.

For lunch she still eats chicken salad, as far away from vinaigrette and salad dressing, many women who want to lose weight think that eating salad is dieting, but they don't know how many calories in vinaigrette and salad dressing are actually not much less than a large piece of red meat, Jenny. Since Jane has decided to lose weight, she will not let her suffering be in vain.

Not only that, but she is now deliberately controlling her tastes, abstaining from all sweetened beverages - because corn syrup is very cheap in the United States, the drinks are very sweetened, and the drinks contain sodium, and if you are not careful, the salt intake will be exceeded. Therefore, people who often drink sweet drinks are very easy to lose their health, and in the United States, there are many people at the bottom of the 'food desert', because of ignorance and greed for small and cheap psychology, they buy a large number of sweet drinks that are cheaper than water, and finally they are not in human shape, and even it is difficult to move, and then there will be three highs.

Of course, the middle class can understand the disadvantages of consuming sweetened drinks, but the eating habits and constitution formed over the years make them easy to gain weight and lose weight, and in this dietary environment, if you want to maintain your figure, you can live an ascetic life.

At least Johnny saw Jenny. Jane's recipe always shook her head, "This extreme diet will make you faint, Jane, what's wrong with you, you used to have a piece of my devil's cake every day, and said that this is the meaning of your life, but now let alone the cake, you don't even eat a burger." ”

On the first day of work after the crossing, she did eat a piece of devil's cake, which is the most popular dessert of Hollywood stars, but Chen Zhen couldn't even eat half of it - because the white people's taste is not sensitive to sweetness, Hollywood stars, or desserts in the whole of the United States, are at least half as sweet as China, and Chen Zhen should have brought her own taste system over, and she was about to vomit before she ate half of this cake.

As for the burger, the mustard and mayonnaise in it are super high in calories, and almost all the sauces have the problem of extreme excess salt and sugar. Jane smiled, "I might have an audition, John, so I'm on a diet." ”

Johnny sighed and patted Jenny on the shoulder, "I don't know if I want you to succeed or fail. ”

For Jenny. He wasn't surprised that Jane wanted to get into Hollywood, which is not surprising in Los Angeles, especially in neighborhoods close to Hollywood.

is also because Jenny's body inherits Chen Zhen's sense of taste, she is quite comfortable with a light diet, and for the kind of hunger that is almost always with her, making her stomach feel a faint pain...... She's used to it, too. Jenny cherished a plate of salad, and when she saw a customer coming in through the delivery window, she patted her skirt, stood up and said to her colleague, "Kevin, I'll bring this guest." ”

Kevin was the waitress with whom she was partnered, and he hadn't finished his meal yet, just casting a grateful glance at Jenny for taking care of her.

Jenny. Jane didn't care about that, she picked up the menu, adjusted the smile on her face to the mirror column, and walked to the window, "Hi, good afternoon." ”

"Good afternoon." Her guest looked up and gave her a smile, and he seemed to be in a good mood.

"Still the same?" Jenny. Jane asked.

It was the seventh day in a row that he had come over for coffee in the afternoon, Jenny. Jane had already taken his order to heart, which was a must-have trick for the waiter to tip.

"It's still the same." The guest said.

Jenny brought a cup of unsweetened, double-milk-topped with cream and a lot of cinnamon on top of a mocha and said, "It's a nice day, and you seem to be in a good mood." ”

"I had a great day, how about you?" The eyes of the guests sparkled with pleasure.

A few small talks with guests are also tips skills, but today Jenny. Jane didn't talk to him for this reason, she shrugged, "There's an audition in two days, I've been a little nervous these days, everything else is fine." ”

The male customer was stunned for a moment, but quickly nodded in realization, "You came to Los Angeles with a dream, right?" ”

"So far, my dream hasn't gone well," Jenny pouted, comparing her uniform and smiling at the male customer, "Anyway—"

"My name is Dave." The male customer said.

"Okay, anyway, Dave, have a nice day." Jenny winked at him and smiled again, "If you need anything, just call me." ”

She picked up the tray and walked away, observing, observing, without a trace, Dave through the mirrored pillars that dotted the dining room.

He was staring at her back.

Good phenomenon. Jenny thought: I'd better be on the day shift for the next week.
