Chapter 11: Milla Jovovich
The audition has entered the second day, except for Jim Parsons, who was decided at the beginning, did not disappoint Link, and yesterday the whole day of interviews, Link has not been able to achieve anything.
More and more media reporters have been getting the news, and now there are more than a dozen media reporting teams gathered outside the cafΓ©.
"This Link is crazy, he really wants to make an American drama? Our editor-in-chief couldn't believe it, so he sent me over, but he didn't expect it to be true. Link is really casting, he's really crazy! β
The editor of a gossip magazine who came in a hurry was very surprised to see the lively interview.
"Hey man, are you here for an interview too?"
At this moment, a videographer approached.
"Oh yes." The gossip editor said: "Yesterday we received the news that Link is preparing to shoot a sitcom and has contacted the Screen Actors Guild for casting. β
"Oh yes, I couldn't believe it when I got the notice." The cameraman glanced inside the cafΓ©, pouted, and said, "It seems that the idiot is serious, I was here yesterday." Don't look at the lot of people queuing up today, in fact, there were more yesterday. That yellow boy interviewed more than 200 people yesterday, I really don't know what he thinks, he chose to shoot an American drama at this time, and it is a sitcom? β
The gossip editor sighed: "If it were me, I wouldn't be stupid enough to choose what sitcom to shoot at this time." Doesn't he know that all of North America is now focused on Ben **? Who would want to watch a sitcom? Unless that person has a problem with their brain. β
"yes." The cameraman seemed to have found a soulmate, and chatted with each other hotly: "Link, this idiot is simply joking with life, I'm afraid it won't be long before there will be a piece of news with the headline: The new TV station media CAA boss committed suicide due to bankruptcy." β
Obviously, the two of them are not optimistic about Link filming American dramas, but this is also the general opinion of the media now. In fact, yesterday, some media began to report the news that Link was going to shoot a sitcom, but this news has not been confirmed, but tomorrow's news is not easy to say.
As for Link, he's busy with casting interviews. Of course, he also heard about the mainstream media reports, although the pressure in his heart has increased again, but it has also strengthened his confidence in filming "The Big Bang Theory".
"Thank you for participating in the audition, please go back and wait for news, if you pass, we will contact you."
Link said euphemistically to a tall black man in front of him.
The tall black man rolled his eyes and said dissatisfiedly: E-on! broοΌ Is there any mistake? My performance just now is so colorful, can't you see it? β
Link said helplessly, "Go back and wait for news." β
The tall black man roared and grunted away.
Link rubbed his forehead, it had been more than an hour, he had interviewed more than a hundred people, but none of them satisfied him.
Barry, who was on the side, yawned, looked up at the window, and said, "Mr. Link, these are more than a hundred, right?" Isn't there one that satisfies you? I think that young man just now is good, he has a lot of comedy talent! β
Link said helplessly: "Do you think that guy just now looks like a doctor of physics?" I don't want that kind of exaggerated comedy performance......"
"Oh okay okay, it's your casting anyway, even if I'm sitting all day, my salary won't be a penny less."
To be honest, Barry's attitude towards Link's casting felt a little too harsh. You only pay $600 per episode, how many people are willing to come with such a low salary?
Although there was some disdain in his heart, Barry did not say anything.
Barry glanced up at the reporter outside the window, then straightened out his suit and tried to be as deep as possible. He knew he would be in the newspaper again tomorrow.
Several reporters interviewed him yesterday and asked about Link's plans to shoot an American drama. He didn't expect that he would be able to take advantage of Link's wind to report it and be on TV.
Therefore, he came early in the morning today, just to be able to be interviewed by reporters again, and then after scolding Link for being a fool and an idiot, he promoted himself by the way.
Link is also a little irritable in his heart, after such a long interview, in addition to Jim Parsons, who has been booked to play the role of Hilton Cooper, he is also short of two roles, a man and a woman, respectively playing the beautiful neighbor Penny in "The Big Bang Theory", and the protagonist's friend Raj.
But after interviewing more than 100 people, none of them could satisfy him.
"Maybe the salary of $600 per episode is a little lower, but I really don't have any money."
Link is getting more and more irritable, money, money, money! Everything is the fault of money, if he has money in his hand now, he will directly spend money to hire a big star, where is he still going to waste time here?
However, the reality is that he has no money. Even the $600 per episode was earned by him overdrawing his credit card.
"Forget it, let's get here first, let's continue in the afternoon."
What Link lacks most now is time, and even if he wastes a day, it makes his heart extremely tormented.
Because the end of the month is not far away, if he has not made the TV station profitable by the end of the month, then he can directly file for bankruptcy, because he will not even be able to pay the salaries of his employees by then.
"Alright, Mr. Link, we'll see you in the afternoon."
Barry said hello and left.
"Little boss, will we go back to Taili now?"
Fat Jack stretched, he had been in a drowsy sleep all morning, and I am afraid that he was the happiest now, because he could finally end the boring interview.
Link said in a low voice, "You go back first, and I'll sit down for a while." β
"Okay, boss, then I'll go first."
As soon as Fat Jack stood up, he saw several reporters outside the cafΓ©, holding a camera and clicking the shutter.
"Hey, you guys, stop taking pictures."
Fat Jack shouted as he chased him out.
Link ignored this, leaning back on the lap chair a little weakly, he thought that the shooting would go well, but who would have thought that even casting would be so difficult.
Link, who was irritable, suddenly found a young brown-haired girl sitting in the corner of the cafΓ©. Since the other party is facing away from Link, Link can't see the other party's face clearly, but judging from the back, the other party is definitely a beauty.
With a move in his heart, Link couldn't help but get up and walked over, finding a vacant seat to do it, where he could just see the other party's side face.
"She looks very beautiful, but it's not the kind of petite and cute type, which is very suitable for the role of Penny, but I don't know if I have acting talent."
While judging in his heart, Link stared directly at the girl, and couldn't help but become more satisfied the more he watched, feeling that this girl was too suitable to play Penny.
As if sensing Link's gaze, the girl turned her head to look at Link and gestured a middle finger at Link in disgust.
Link realized that he was a little reckless, scratched his head, and walked over.
"Hey, do you mind if I sit here?"
The girl was holding a straw and covering her face with big sunglasses, although this was the case, she could still see that the other party was a big beauty.
The girl glanced at Link and teased, "Do you often talk to girls like this?" β
Link shrugged his shoulders and said, "Of course not, unless that person is as pretty as you are." β
The girl was amused by Link's humor, "Flim, it seems that you are not a good person." β
Link smiled and sat down on the circle chair opposite the girl, and said, "Thank you for the compliment, everyone else says the same." β
The girl couldn't stop laughing again, and quickly lowered her head and took a sip of juice, as if she was unwilling to "take the bait" easily.
Taking advantage of the other party's bowing head, Link looked at the girl in front of him again, and looked a little familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere.
"No, is it really her?"
Link searched in his head, and a poster came to mind, the woman on the poster was somewhat similar to the girl in front of him, but Link was not sure.
"Hello, my name is Link, nice to meet you."
Hearing Link's self-introduction, the girl also took off her sunglasses out of politeness, and a pair of pale green deep pupils appeared in front of Link.
"Hello, my name is Milla Jovovich."
"Is it really you?"
Link said in surprise.
"You know me?"
Mira asked, a little strangely.
Link quickly shook his head and said, "No, no, it's just that you're a friend of mine." β
Mira didn't pay much attention to it, but Link was shocked in his heart.
Milla Jovovich! Born in Ukraine, standard Eastern European Caucasian ancestry, although she is not well known now, Link knows that the girl in front of her is the actress who swept the world in later generations, and her masterpiece "Resident Evil" series.
Even Link himself didn't expect that he would choose a corner in this cafΓ© for more than an hour, and finally meet this future big star.
Although Milla Jovovich is a standard movie star and has never made a TV film in later generations, will Link let such a futuristic action hardcore star go?
The answer, obviously, is no.
"Were you interviewing just now?"
Mira opened the subject and asked.
Link nodded: "I'm going to make a sitcom, and I was just interviewing for the main creative role." β
"Did you find the right actor?"
Maybe Milla Jovovich isn't too interested in acting now, and she didn't react much when she heard Link's words, but just followed the flow of the topic, sucking the juice and asking a question.
Link smiled mysteriously, "No, but now there is." β
cough cough cough ......
Apparently understanding the meaning of Link's words, Mira choked on the juice, coughed for a while, and said with some surprise, "You mean...... I? Seeing Link nodding, Mira said again, "You're not kidding, are you?" Or...... Do you have other purposes? β
Seeing Mira looking at her with strange eyes, Link quickly explained: "Don't worry, I'm just standing in the perspective of a director and producer, and I think you fit my corner, and I don't have other dirty ideas." β
"You just said ...... What's your name? Link? β
Mira suddenly frowned and glanced at Link carefully. Immediately, Mira's eyes were stunned for a moment, and she said in surprise with a long mouth: "You...... You're Link! β
Link said helplessly, "Didn't I introduce myself just now?" β
"Oh no! I mean...... Are you that CAA TV Link guy? β
Link nodded, "Looks like I'm pretty famous." Being surprised to be recognized by a future big star, Link was still a little proud in his heart. If it were a few years later, I am afraid that he would be the one with a surprised expression.
"You just said ...... Please allow me to shoot TV? Is it true? β
Mira said in disbelief.
Link looked sad: "It seems that what I just said was in vain, and I was still regarded as a pick-up with a suspicious purpose." β
Hearing Link's words, Mira's face flushed, but immediately she seemed to remember something, she took out her lady's handbag and rummaged through it, took out a mobile phone, and after a while, she said in a surprised tone on the phone, "Mom! I'm going to be a big star, and a TV station asked me to be an actor...... That's right, it's the CAA TV station that is often mentioned on TV......"
Link was convinced of the big beauty in front of him, and he actually put him aside and began to call excitedly.
Mira caught a lot of words in English and Russian, and then happily hung up the phone, seeing Link looking helpless. Mira smiled shyly and said, "I'm sorry Mr. Link, I'm too excited. β
"Of course, I can understand." Link smiled, laughing even more happily. In a seductive tone, he said, "Are you interested in joining?" β
"Of course! I've always fantasized about being a big star, like Elizabeth Taylor. β
Mira began to excitedly describe her beautiful dreams, and Link kept smiling as she listened. In his opinion, now Milla Jovovich is like an ordinary girl, with a dream of stardom and wants to be sought after by countless people.
Although Milla Jovovich will become a superstar in the future, she is still just an ordinary person.
And Link decided to let her appear in the audience's field of vision in advance, and appeared as the heroine of "The Big Bang Theory"!
