Chapter 935: Allen's Side-Pie's Perspective
In the afternoon, in Los Angeles, in a dilapidated apartment near Chinatown, Alan Poopai poked his head out of the fourth-floor window and watched Amy Acker trot into the agent's car and drive onto the road.
Ever since the music video for Angelina's clumsy little girl was released with the music video for album 21, Alan Punpai found out that she had changed her stage name to the same name as the song: 'Angelina', as if the song was written for her by APLUS.
This very smart hand should be the idea of the top agent Hayden, and the one who came to pick her up today is just Hayden's subordinate, and they are all the co-agents that William Morris configured for her.
Angelina Acker's fame rose instantly, with constant invitations to print advertisements and auditions in Hollywood.
And she actually started to pick and choose! I've been living in myself for a week, and I've heard her talk to her agent on the phone more than once saying that the brand doesn't like it, doesn't answer its advertisement, that role has no lines, and the audition is over.
"It's naïve, opportunities can't be there forever, and when you reach my age, you'll know that you'll regret it."
Talking to herself jealously, Alan walked over to the rack full of videotapes, picked out the 21-album music video that had been labeled dirty by the RIAA, and stuffed it into the VCR.
I'm not so lucky, in Ai Se Eu Te Pego, she and Angelina Ake appeared at the same time, but they were completely stealing the show by the prettier Chariss next to her, and they were exactly the same in I Gotta Feeling.
But Angelina Ake also has Angelina MV heroine, Charlis is the large-scale MV Earned It heroine who has sparked heated discussions, Earned It is currently ranked second on the B list, and is likely to beat Celine Dion's Because You Loved Me next week to win the singles.
Fortunately, these two girls are typical of those who don't know how to take advantage of opportunities, Angelina Ake loves to play casually, and Charlise ran back to South Africa to play and disappear under such high attention! Still too young! Do you think that the generous return of someone like APLUS can be so easy to meet a second time?
She kept fast-forwarding, picking out the clips of her own appearances, and couldn't help but recall a night with them and APLUS in that terrible room by the garage of the Chicago Manor, no, there was another one, and Fergie was also ......
Hold the pillow and curl up on the sofa, I'm different, more low-key, and the opportunity to fight for from APLUS is actually better, David Cape is the main screenwriter of Jurassic Park, the No. 1 box office in film history, his directorial debut 'Mutation' is highly anticipated by the industry, the male protagonist is Kyle McLaren, who became famous with a drama in Twin Peaks, and the female protagonist is Elizabeth Sue, who has just been nominated for the Oscar for Best Actress by leaving Las Vegas, so the female number four in the play with such a strong lineup is me, isn't this much better than what MV heroine?
After getting the first salary, I rented a house here, the security is good, life and transportation are very convenient, turn into the next Highway 101 to reach Universal Studios, in addition to filming, she also signed up for classes to practice acting skills and participate in other auditions.
It's okay if it's hard during the time I'm waiting for the release, I'll overtake both of you when the movie comes out, because I have enough stamina and ambition......
The only problem now is that her wallet is quickly emptied by the frequent search for opportunities in Hollywood and the high cost of living, and the little salary is not used at all, and the agency and the mutation crew strictly prohibit herself from being a swimsuit girl at a rich party, so she can only return to her old job and work part-time as a waitress in an izakaya in the nearby book settlement 'Little Tokyo', which can't help but make her feel a little frustrated from time to time.
The work is not hard, but she still began to yawn, and the mutant crew that has long been closed has been re-summoned and reassembled, and the director David Cape wants to reshoot some shots, because the mutation is a thriller with a blackout background, many scenes have to be on location at night, and she has been a little sleep-deprived these days.
‘Cause girl you're perfect,You're always worth it……’
In the sexy voice of APLUS, she falls asleep.
As soon as she slept until seven o'clock in the afternoon, she was woken up by the alarm clock, quickly jumped up and washed up, then grabbed her belongings and a box of old Hitchcock videos and went out.
"How much is it?"
When I walked into the video store on the corner and videotaped, I happened to hear a conversation between a big boy carrying a school bag and the boss.
"This won't work, let your parents buy it."
The Chinese boss scanned the 21 album CD on the counter with a barcode scanner and pushed the music video aside.
The boy immediately became anxious and began to argue with the boss in Cantonese that she did not understand.
She noticed that the boss was quietly looking at her, and immediately looked away with interest, pretending to admire the APLUS poster on the wall, this man is too popular now, if I don't work hard in Hollywood, at least I can brag to people about sleeping with him in the future?
'Ding! ’
The cash register rang, and the little boy was satisfied, and the CDs and music videos on the counter were gone. The boss smiled and said a few words to him, and the little boy immediately peeked at himself shyly and took out the paper and pen from his school bag, "Can you sign it for me...... Name, name? ”
"Of course."
This kind of thing is rare, if it weren't for the fact that the owner of this store knew that he had starred in the MV of the 21st album......
She immediately showed the professionalism of the star, smiled and took the pen and paper, "You are so cute, can you tell me your name?" "Sign it, write it to so-and-so, and give a short message.
"Thank you." The boy happily ran out of the store.
"Not renting for the time being." I pulled out my membership card and returned the videotape, then went to buy a cup of coffee and drove into Route 101 in a shabby notebook.
The set is not in Universal Studios, but in a park further north, and her scenes don't start filming until about 9 to 10 p.m., but she always tries to arrive early and leave late to accumulate more contacts.
When she arrived, it was already dark, she parked the car behind the crew's row of RVs, most of the staff were setting up lights and other equipment, except for the two protagonists who had exclusive makeup cars, the other actors gathered in front of the other two cars to wait for makeup, talking, laughing and chatting.
"I heard you got a supporting role in an episode of Law & Order?"
David Cap was very concerned about his debut, the atmosphere inside the mutation crew was very good, there was almost no messy interpersonal relationships, and she was asked by a well-informed person as soon as she walked into the crowd.
"Small supporting role, not many lines." She replied with a shrug.
"Wow...... It's great, the TV series is on the air very quickly, and your drama will definitely be broadcast before the mutation starts. ”
"By the way, is the schedule for this film set?"
"I heard it's this summer."
"Really!?"
"It shouldn't be wrong, this is a project of Amperin Entertainment, and it is distributed ...... worldwide"
While everyone was talking, the assistant director appeared, "Elizabeth? Elizabeth? He shouted softly outside Elizabeth Sue's van.
Elizabeth Sue, who became popular in the eighties, was already in a state of obsession before she was nominated for an Oscar, but of course everything is different now, and when the crew re-filmed the scene, everyone's attitude towards her changed drastically.
Maybe she's seen too much in Hollywood, but she's still the same as before.
As the male and female protagonists and some supporting actors went to the set, the RV was much more deserted, and it was just right to get familiar with the script again.
After about two or three scenes, I was called into the makeup car, and the makeup artist had just finished it, and some people's complaints came from outside the door, and then the assistant director probed in, "Allen Side, the rest of today's scenes have been canceled, go home, sorry." ”
"Okay, thanks." As is often the case, director David Cape has high requirements for quality and often 'drags the hall'.
"It's a new shooting plan." The assistant director stuffed her with a piece of paper.
"But there's no ...... here," she glanced, but couldn't find her name.
"Really? I didn't pay attention, that is, your role doesn't need to be refilmed, and the director just changed his mind. The assistant director said.
She frowned, she had a good extra income from participating in the reshoot, which meant that the money could not be earned, and it was ......
She remembered the past when Ashley Judd snatched the supporting role in the cat-and-mouse game, and her heart immediately panicked, and she quickly studied the shooting plan in her hand carefully, and found that it was not only herself who canceled the scene, most of the scenes that required multiple supporting roles were gone.
That's fine......
She could only pack up and go home, and when she was about to start the car, she thought it would be better to talk to the director and find out what the situation was, as long as she was not on the set, David Cap was a very personable and patient writer.
She knew that after the filming was over, David Cap used to hide somewhere in the woods and talk on the phone constantly, waiting for the staff to pack up all the equipment and go back to check it again, which she found by accident the day before yesterday.
"What kind of summer file is August 30th!"
But this time it seems to be a little different, and I heard David Cap's irritable voice from a distance, "I know, I know that the project is overspent by three million, and the crew is running out of money, but this has nothing to do with the schedule......"
"I've changed it according to Mr. Spielberg's opinion."
"No, no, no, I don't want to be his good student, it's not negotiable, I'm a top screenwriter, I have my own artistic ambitions......"
"I warn you Catherine, don't try to exercise the final cut rights like APLUS did with Ridley Scott, or that's the end of our relationship!"
"Haha, Linton's kind of layman who only deducts the budget knows a fart, and he didn't tell you that you and APLUS were cooperating on the Blade project?"
"No, it's not Harvey, it can't be that second-rate editor, I've seen ......"
David Cap suddenly lowered his voice.
Alan Ponpai was shocked by what she heard, whether it was related to the box office prospects of her big screen debut or the secrets of APLUS, and she mustered up the courage to sneak closer and hide behind a tree.
"Simon Schuster has been helping me with publishing, and they often ask me quietly to help with expert opinions, and we've been working together for many years. I've seen everything Kunes gave them....... ”
"The plot skeleton of the released version of the cat and mouse game is exactly the same as the script outline of APLUS, Kunes and they just did some hard work to supplement the details, and Johnny Carson's version of the tattered eighties and Ridley Scott's snake addition have not been reflected in the released version, it can only be that APLUS did it, and no one else will do it."
David Cape praised from the bottom of his heart: "He has improved fast Catherine, he is more mature than dancing the first script in my life, he is really a genius, but it's a pity that he is a popular singer, otherwise he would concentrate on screenwriting...... Forget it, being a singer is more promising. ”
"What do you think? The second script that Kunes gave to Simon Schuster was all about framing him, and the crook must have made a deal with Johnny Carson. But APLUS in three days, Simon Schuster and Johnny Carson were all deflated in three days! Kunes went bankrupt and went to jail ......"
"I don't know how he did it, you know better about those methods than I do, don't you?"
"Okay, okay Catherine, let's not talk about that. In short, it's useless to persuade anyone! I think everything is fine with my 'mutation', whether it's you or Mr. Spielberg or anyone at Universal Pictures, don't even think about asking me to help write or review the script after you make a big change to my rough cut, I can do it! ”
At this time, the lights on the set went out, and Alan Sidepai knew that this meant that the staff had already cleaned up, so he tiptoed back.
I came home with a heavy heart, it was already past ten o'clock, and Angelina Ake, the little girl, hadn't come back yet, she was a little worried, and dialed the other party's mobile phone.
"Amy, aren't you coming back?" She still used to call the girl Amy.
"I'm not going back tonight hahaha......" the girl seemed drunk and laughed and said, "You...... You don't have to wait for me. ”
“Yo!” Well? I vaguely heard the familiar voice of APLUS.
"Where are you? It's noisy. She asked deliberately.
"On Universal Studios, we're partying."
"Blade on the set?"
"How did you guess haha......"
Putting down the phone, she circled around the room a few times before making up her mind, looked in the mirror, well, the makeup was well maintained, so she changed into her favorite evening clothes, grabbed her car keys and rushed out the door again.
Driving all the way back along Highway 101, she probably knew that the Blade crew was working in that studio, and used the mutant crew's Universal Studio Pass to get to the door.
"Party? This is not the place to party...... girls are turned away by the set guards.
"APLUS asked me to come." She lied.
"You wait." The guards immediately picked up the walkie-talkie.
"You are ......" APLUS's big black bodyguard appeared.
"Alan, Alan, I've been in your car, remember?"
"SHE SAID MR. APLUS ASKED HER TO COME." The guard said.
"Yes." She nodded cheekily.
"I remember, you wait......" The big black man turned back and called out an old white man.
"Hi Mike." She also remembered the other person's name.
"Let her in." The old man rolled his eyes.
The studio was eerily empty and eerily quiet, and she looked at what looked like an underground nightclub, followed Marvota and Mike all the way to the back lounge, and gradually, began to hear music.
Old Mike opened the door to an unmarked VIP powder room, and the smell of alcohol and other smells wafted from inside......
She walked in, and the door was immediately shut, oh my! She remembered the scene in Highland Park again, even more excessively.
Wait, those two drunken black women on the floor, are they Tarraghi? And...... And Halle Berry?!
"Amy ......"
What about Amy Ack? She quickly found the girl who lived with her, and she also fell asleep on the sofa in a very indecent position.
What is indecent, it is indecent here.
"Amy!? Haha, I knew you were coming, hurry! Come here! ”
APLUS, who was entangled with a blonde woman, sat on the dressing table, drunkenly giggling and clapping loudly to herself.
