The press conference was held in the lobby of the ATL Women's Association headquarters, and Martin rushed over early in the morning to contact Ella, Kelly Gray's assistant, who took her to the large conference room near the hall.

A lot of people, including Kelly Gray, are busy.

Among the miscellaneous people, Martin saw the acquaintance Andrew.

Thinking of the new play that Jerome had said about the last time he went to the theater, Martin took the initiative to find it.

If you have the opportunity, you have to go if you don't have the opportunity to create the opportunity.

Martin greeted Andrew: "Morning, Mr. Andrew. ”

Andrew looked at Martin first, then at Ella behind Martin, and smiled warmly: "Long time no see, my friend." ”

Seeing that the other party opened his arms, of course Martin would not refuse, and hugged him warmly.

Like an old friend.

The two chatted for a while about the Marietta Community Theatre Company's collaboration with Gray & Company, and especially about Jerome leading the troupe to prepare for a new play.

After a few moments, Martin noticed that Kelly Gray was free for the time being, and said, "I'll go over." ”

Andrew nodded: "You are free." ”

Martin approached Kelly Gray and pulled out the speech she had prepared yesterday and asked her to review it.

At the same time, he talked about the feminist concept of Hollywood 10 years later.

Kelly Gray already has a very good sense of Martin, and now she is even more smiling.

On the other side, Andrew watched Martin and the boss talking and laughing, thoughtful.

What does a very intimate relationship look like?

Seeing that Ella was still there, he asked, "Does the boss know Martin?" ”

Ella said casually: "The boss admires Martin. ”

"That's ......" Andrew found that things were just as Ella said, the lawyer of the Women's Association took over the lawsuit from the House of the Beast, and the boss kept in communication with Martin, even smiling several times more than usual.

After the press conference, Andrew looked for an opportunity to come over and heard Martin invite the boss to go to the house of the beast again, and the boss agreed.

In addition, Martin praised him in front of his boss for what he had done for the Women's Association.

Kelly Gray complimented Andrew a few words.

Andrew was about to float.

Martin left the women's union, got in the car and called Jerome, there were some things he didn't like to talk about directly, and there was no room for relaxation in the event of a disagreement.

He said to Jerome: "Chief, I attended a press conference of the Women's Club this morning, met Mr. Andrew, and talked to him for a little about the new play of our troupe and Gray's company. ”

Generally speaking, many characters in the new crew are short of people, so it's best to shoot early.

Jerome said, "I'll call him right away. ”

…………

No sooner had Andrew returned to Gray Films and Television Productions than he received a call from Jerome.

Jerome felt that Andrew was much more enthusiastic than before, and mentioned Martin several times during this period, which reminded him of the debt owed by the idiot Martin again, and simply said: "Can you help Martin find a role with a higher salary?" ”

It's the same thing Andrew thought: "There are a couple of supporting roles that haven't been decided yet, I'll call Martin when I get back." ”

Andrew was very active, turning on the computer to look at the real-time progress of the project.

Gray signed a package contract with Cable Channel, and the contract included more than one late-night play.

In the past few years, Gray Company has already done a good job, assembly line production, low cost and fast speed, the previous filming is over, transferred to the post-production department for editing and production, and the film crew then shoots the next one.

Most of the time, the company uses the same male protagonist, Adam Smith, who has a good appeal among female users of the cable station and can guarantee the lower limit of ratings.

The heroine and supporting actor and actress have also been decided, but several small supporting roles are still being selected.

Andrew picked a role, got up and knocked on the door of Lynn's office, the casting director: "Head, for the role of Billy, I recommend someone to choose?" ”

It's just a small role with a few lines, Lynn didn't raise his head, and said, "Inform him to come over tomorrow afternoon to audition." ”

Andrew returned to his office and called Martin as soon as possible.

Martin took the initiative to invite him to lunch together: "I haven't formally thanked you for your help to me last time, and I must give me a chance today." ”

Andrew is not good at refusing.

Martin chose a high-end restaurant in the city center, and when it was time to invest, he didn't skimp.

Unlike Los Angeles, Atlanta's busiest area is in the heart of the city.

At noon, the two met at a restaurant near Peachtree Plaza.

During lunch, Andrew gave a general overview of the character's situation.

Martin took them all to heart.

"As long as the basic acting skills are okay, your appearance will definitely pass." Andrew elaborated: "The late-night dramas produced by the company tend to be aesthetically pleasing and the main audience is women, so the requirements for the appearance of male actors are relatively high. ”

Martin nodded: "I understand." ”

Andrew asked the key: "Can you accept the scale of the scene?" ”

Martin said with a smile: "No problem, it's not a film from the Sacred Valley, the scale of Hollywood NC-17 is larger than this, I participated in the last shooting, and I have a general idea." ”

The scale is not up to some films that have won the Golden Lion and the Palme d'Or.

The production model is like the mill movie of the past, this kind of film has not completely disappeared, and it is also improving with the times.

North America does not enter the theater every year, accounting for more than half of the total shooting.

Martin is not resistant to this, he is at the bottom of American society, and he doesn't even dare to take off his pants in front of the camera, talking about making a lot of money and crossing classes.

Andrew agreed: "We make art films, but they don't go to theaters and broadcast them directly on cable TV. ”

Martin gave Andrew a toast, chatted a few words about the women's union, and instead asked, "Can the casting director decide for this role?" ”

Andrew said: "Lynn, the casting director, can decide who is chosen. ”

Martin asked, "Does Lynn have any special preferences?" ”

"Special preference?" Andrew thought for a moment and said, "He's a die-hard Atlanta Warriors loyalist. ”

Martin knows that the Atlanta Braves, a member of the MLB, are home at Turner Field in Marietta.

A lunch, with a bottle of good wine, costs Martin two nights' income,

Martin's investment is not only that, after sending Andrew away, he went to the thrift market.

…………

Gray Film and Television Productions has been busy this afternoon, with many young actors coming in and out.

Casting director Lynn and assistant Andrew sit in the audition room and interview some supporting actors.

The audition was very fast, and he didn't do styling at all, Lynn looked at the actor's appearance through the camera, and then asked people to make a few cool expressions, say a few lines, and send people away two or three minutes before and after.

"Let the actors who audition Billy in." Andrew looked at the list and said, "Martin Davis. ”

A female assistant opened the door and shouted outside, "Martin Davis! ”

As soon as the person came in, the slightly tired Lynn was slightly refreshed, this young man wanted to have a face and a figure.

He looked through the lens and was very photogenic.

The main thing is that this person gives him a good first feeling.

The young man was wearing a half-worn Warriors jacket with a slightly frayed edge of a blue baseball cap with an A-line on it, which he placed on the table to the side.

Lynn glanced at it, and knew that the other party often wore it.

The image stood out, and the short performance couldn't find fault, Lynn sent Martin away and asked Andrew: "This is the person you recommend?" ”

Andrew said, "It's him." ”

Lynn decided: "It's him." Then he said to the female assistant: "Billy's role, everyone else is sent away, don't waste their time." ”

The key to the success or failure of an audition is mostly not in the audition room.
