Paris listened to Wang Jie, and said categorically, after Anqi was good-looking, she was very dissatisfied, and after putting down her two long legs, she sat up, looked at Wang Jie and said, "Can't you say a few comforting words to make me feel happy." ”
Wang Jie glanced at the dissatisfied Paris, turned his head and continued to concentrate on driving, and said: "This, Paris, you and Angel are different, at least if I tell the truth, you can't do anything to me, if in order to make you happy, say that you are more beautiful than Angel, I am afraid that she will beat me." ”
This topic, for some reason, suddenly made Paris think a little carefully, and said: "Speaking of which, Wang Jie, do you think that Angel and Nicole are a little abnormal." ”
This is definitely the most sensitive topic for Wang Jie, he slowed down the car, turned his head to look at Paris, and said, "Tell me, what's not normal." At the same time, she was underestimating in her heart, could she have found something.
Paris pondered for a while and said: "Don't you think it's strange, the temperament of the two of them is so special, okay, I'm not jealous, the most important thing is that they are good at, I once asked when I came to the door, whether it is Angel's fencing or Nicole's shooting skills, they have been trained by themselves since childhood, in fact, they have been independent since they were children, and all kinds of things, there is no need for the Johnsons to worry about it, I think ......"
Wang Jie got closer, slowed down a little bit, and asked, "What do you think?" ”
Paris stopped talking, seemed to be unable to say anything, and said: "Do you think that Angel and Nicole will secretly have any special identities, such as Charlie's angel, in a certain secret service department, there is a special job, the identity of an agent, so that they also have some fantasies." ”
Okay, I have to admit, Paris, your brain is big enough, Wang Jie couldn't help but laugh: "Paris, others are very good, it may not be external factors, it may also be that people are working hard." ”
Paris said eagerly, "But they ......"
"But what?" Wang Jie looked forward to seeing Paris, the girl who had been playing with Nicole for months, maybe she would know something.
Paris was suddenly discouraged, she was not a well-informed old fritter, and she lacked due judgment on this matter, let alone someone to discuss something, this Wang Jie was the person who was most involved in her intricate and messy relationship with Nicole, but she was also reluctant to tell others what she occasionally heard, the conversation between Nicole and Angel, it was too shocking, it didn't sound like a serious conversation, Paris was sure that if she said it to others, it would definitely be regarded as a ridiculous conjecture, and then ****:" Hi Paris, is it April Fool's Day. ”
sighed, she is an ignorant rich girl, and the recent activities she has done are nothing more than spending money in secret, inviting a private detective to find out Nicole's past information, and the result is of course unsurprising, Nicole's past is as clean as a blank sheet of paper, and since she was born, she has been decent to the extreme, whether it is learning to walk, weaning, or learning to speak, it is a smooth mess, and it is the same in daily life, and she follows the rules very well, as far as their neighbors describe, that's it, well-behaved two girls, Never get emotional about your parents because of anything, the neighbors say yes, and never spoil or anything because of what clothes you want to buy.
The private investigator, dressed as a reporter, heard such a result and didn't care, so he summarized all the situation and reported it to Paris.
Describe what you heard, the topic of Angel is an angel? Don't be funny, Paris shook her head and said, "It's nothing, it's just a girl's topic, boys don't ask." ”
Wang Jie blinked, and didn't care, they are going to the actors' union to recruit actors today, there are two major actors' unions in the United States, one is the film actors union, the other is the film and television actors' union, and Wang Jie came to the film and television actors union this time, the difference in strength between the two unions is not big, they are both deep-rooted organizations, Wang Jie himself has been registered with the film actors union, but in order to conceal and keep it secret, so he deliberately did not go, because the off-road vehicle has approached the office building of the film and television actors union, So he also missed the strange expression of Paris, and also missed the fact that after communicating with Paris, he learned about certain situations.
Every day, in Hollywood, there will be countless large and small crews to start up, these crews, sometimes it may be a few friends in the bar after getting high, get high, so decide to shoot things, Hollywood has a huge B-grade film production group, of course, most of these movies, not to mention the opportunity to be released afterwards, many may not have the opportunity to release the videotape, so they are directly shelved.
In the early years, **** Hengdian, there were countless such bad movie crews, and they were not played in the cinema or TV station at the beginning, but to wash ......
Ahem, ahem.
Speaking of which, Wang Jie sneakily wore a baseball cap and black sunglasses and came to the registration office: "Hello, I need to recruit some actors for the crew, this is a requirement, and there is a deposit." ”
The female receptionist looked at it, Wang Jie handed over a simple general plot, and the requirements for all the actors, from age, temperament, to skin color, everything, she read it in general, and said: "The request can't you play the main role that makes an impression in movies and TV series?" Is this a mistake or true, according to convention, isn't it always that the more experienced, the better. ”
Wang Jie said: "No need, just follow this requirement." Wang Jie naturally won't say his dark purpose, the death video probably uses a team of dozens of actors, but most of them are group performances, the most important thing is the photographer of the part-time actor, the firefighter team composed of two strong men, and a royal sister, a Lori, as for the other actors, of course, it can't be too little, but because this play doesn't have to sacrifice his health like Jeremy Renner in the last "Super Size Me", Wang Jie is ready to spend $200,000 to deal with.
In addition to the actors, under Wang Jie's plan, this crew does not need too many other members, and naturally there is a special company that can package and provide crew services.
After finalizing everything, Wang Jie looked at the time, then drove Paris back to the hotel where she was staying, and said: "That's it, Paris, from tomorrow onwards, you will be responsible for pretending to be a director, and I will take care of everything else." ”
Paris was puzzled: "Okay, tomorrow morning in the hotel lobby, I'll help you book a conference room, but, Wang Jie, how do I think of your movie It's so strange, strange actors, strange script, are you sure it will really be a hit." ”
Wang Jie smiled evilly, at this time, he could still reveal it to Paris, and said, "What do you think of this movie." ”
Paris said: "Just by reading the script, you know that it sucks, there are no beautiful clothes, no touching love story, just the appearance of a reporter following the interview in front of the camera. ”
Wang Jie said: "Yes, but looking at this, there is no element of commercial films that attract the audience, I even plan to dress up the female reporter as the most ordinary, but, Paris, if before the release of this movie, there was gossip on the TV station or on the Internet, spreading that somewhere in New Mexico, after a fire brigade got out of the car, it encountered an accident, and all the staff did not come back, but finally found this videotape, so it was picked up by someone with a heart, edited and sent to the cinema for screening, you say, What will be the end result? ”
Although Paris is not very old, she knows a lot about the news media, she is a fan of reality shows, and after thinking about it carefully, she said excitedly: "I understand, I completely understand, you mean, pretend to be a real event, and then attract the attention of the audience, and then you can let a large number of viewers enter the cinema." ”
Wang Jie nodded while driving, and said, "That's right, really smart Paris." ”
Paris thought about it, it still seemed to be somewhat reliable, but after thinking of something, she said, "Wait, the reason why you asked me to be the director for you is to be the scapegoat for this deceiving the public." ”
Wang Jie smiled and said: "Paris, it's definitely not like this, you still don't understand, the public has no self-thinking ability, when this movie is a huge success, everyone will only notice your success, and hope that after imitation, they will also get the same success, they don't have time to care, how much money do you make, this is the public!" Of course, because of race, I doubt that if I did such a thing, then it might be very attacked, but if this person is an American, native, smart, and beautiful wasp, then the situation is completely different, and I am completely sure that after the success of the movie, you will become an immortal legend, as long as you are obedient. ”
Paris thought for a moment and said, "Then, I want to take a part of the investment in this movie." ”
Wang Jie looked at her and said, "10%." ”
Paris didn't give an inch, and said, "30%." ”
Wang Jie took a deep breath and said, "20%, no more, any more I will do it for nothing, but I just let you bear the name." ”
Paris said: "Deal, but in the script, can you let me play a role." ”
Wang Jie immediately said: "It's impossible, Paris, don't you understand, this movie is the pursuit of truth, I don't plan to use any well-known person in it, you are more or less the heir of a big consortium, how many people know you, impossible." ”
Tilting her head and thinking about it, she finally understood what Wang Jie meant, Paris lowered her head itchingly, and said, "Okay." ”
After everything was done, Paris returned to the hotel where she lived all day, and went to contact the place where she was preparing for the interview, and chose to interview in the hotel, which was also Wang Jie's consideration of confidentiality.
Wang Jie's script is a fictional story of the fire brigade in a small town in New Mexico, a central state in the United States, anyway, the American people are notoriously unfamiliar with the country's political regions, and those who can recite the names of all states in the United States belong to high-level intellectuals, and they can take advantage of this, and the bullying is that the American imperialists do not teach ordinary people geography.
This kind of drama is actually very ingenious, it doesn't need any heart-rending inner struggle, and the bloody story of intrigue is to use the imaginary photographer to follow the fire brigade to quickly bring the audience into another Roswell incident that they think is covered up by the government, so the most important thing is the details other than the actors.
The next morning, the interview began, Wang Jie's job requirements were really good, out of the consideration of making people shut up, so the salary was still very high compared to this period, so the actors' union introduced hundreds of people to apply for various roles. This process is naturally not something that Wang Jie can do alone, although this is a small crew, but there are three judges for the interview, Wang Jie, Paris, and a staff member sent by the trade union, all kinds of scoring and judging standards are how many years of practice, fortunately, Wang Jie's requirements in this movie are not high, so the work is carried out quickly, after cutting the garbled code, take out the contract that has been prepared for a long time, even some small actors or extras have a contract as thick as the book, and all kinds of guarantees abound, It can be said that you can't be thirsty or hot, of course, no one will have a prickly relationship with you because of some small things, otherwise you still want to mix in Hollywood? Where there are people, there must be rivers and lakes, and Hollywood is also a river and lake, but it is just the rivers and lakes of the United States.
Although it is rare for two men and women who are absolutely not more than 20 years old to conduct an interview, it is definitely not something that has never happened, the interview went very smoothly, there are not many main characters in this movie, a female reporter, two firefighters, and photographers actually have a role, and they also need special attention, so Wang Jie plans to choose a few of these actors, his requirements are not high: his acting skills are up to standard, and he can't play the leading and supporting roles in movies recently, of course, Those who can mix the protagonist and supporting roles will not come to Wang Jie, a crew like Wang Jie who is obviously a newcomer as a director, to sign up, of course, the attraction of the Hilton Hotel as an interview location is still not small, and this has not attracted the attention of the media, but Hollywood is a place where 1000+ people compete for a position, so Wang Jie has to sigh when he looks at the resume on this table.
Slowly, everyone knows, it turns out that one of the girls who auditioned is the girl of the Hilton family, so there is a little confidence, Hollywood attracts a large number of handsome men and women from all over the world to come here every year to complete their so-called dreams, in fact, it is the meaning of making money here.
This is easy to find, in fact, the biggest misunderstanding of many people, how big is the gap between the acting skills of grassroots group actors and actresses?
In fact, it is just the distance of a piece of paper.
This piece of paper is that contract.
