After a simple lunch at noon, the two returned to the third-floor office and let the actresses in the back continue to audition.

The first to come in was a red-haired girl, who seemed to be very young, about seventeen or eighteen years old at most.

"Hello. ”

The red girl was a little uncomfortable, and there seemed to be a hint of disappointment in her eyes, but she still introduced herself very seriously and said, "Hello, I'm Jessica, Jessie Chastain. ”

Jeckassie Chastain!

Ryan looked up thoughtfully, and seemed to look her up and down for a while, red hair, some pale skin, and the age in front of him, it seemed to be a Hollywood actress in her previous life.

Ryan picked up a personal information in front of him, flipped through it, and asked, "The information says that you are currently performing in a theater!"

"Yes. ”

Jeccasie Chastain looked a little uneasy, she performed in a theater, but it was only a small community theater, and the performance was not very formal.

"You should know that the heroine selected this time is only a film with a small investment, and it will even be difficult to enter the theater for release. ”

Ryan directly made it clear that this is a film with a small investment, even if it is the protagonist in the film, there will be no special treatment, and it is even very likely that it will not be released, and the videotape will be released offline.

In fact, Jeboxie Chastain is not stupid, or she is very smart, she has long known that there is a seemingly notorious rookie director in front of her, plus a newly established agency company, and the combination of such a film can be imagined.

There are some doubts.

However, even such a film is not something that she, Jackassie Chastain, can refuse to give up.

"However, it may be a good opportunity for you, an opportunity to change the course of your life. ”

Ryan didn't say much, casually handed her the script on the table, and said, "You can read the script first." ”

For Ryan's somewhat abnormal behavior, Helen on the side is very calm, for her, as long as the heroine is a signed artist from the Star Agency, everything else can be done according to Ryan's wishes.

Jacassie Chastain took a deep breath, carefully took the script, and read it carefully.

There are many famous first- and second-tier movie stars in Hollywood, but they can't read the script, and it can be said that in Hollywood, there are many actors who can't read the script.

But Jekassie Chastain in front of her is not among them, don't look at her very young, but her academic performance has always been at the top.

According to the trajectory of her life, in a few years, she not only passed the exams of the Juilliard School, an art school, but also won a scholarship established by Robin Williams, and was a proper honor student.

Even now, she can still read the script in her hand, which tells the story of three film students who go to a small town to investigate local legends about witches, prepare to make a documentary, but mysteriously disappear soon after.

Simple can't be in a simple plot, the plot is a bit old-fashioned and cheesy, there are no thrilling scenes, and I really can't see anything exciting in it.

"Such a script?"

Jeboxie Chastain shook her head secretly, she didn't have the desire to keep watching, and even made her a little difficult to praise.

"Very good script. ”

In the end, she reluctantly gave out a compliment.

"If you are asked to play the role in the script, then can you play it in your true colors?"

Ryan smiled dumbly and asked nonchalantly.

Jeckassie Chastain was overjoyed and immediately said, "I will definitely figure out the role with my heart and show my best acting skills." ”

Acting!

Ryan shook his head at her and said, "The heroine in the script is a film college student, so I need you to act as you normally did when you were in school, not an actor who comes to act." ”

"As long as you can guarantee this, then the next audition can be completely over. ”

He said it very bluntly, as long as Jackassie Chastain can show what she usually looks like when she goes to school in filming, then the heroine is hers.

The reason why Ryan made such a rash decision was that the identity of Jacassie Chastain's student played a very important role.

What could be more appropriate than a student to play a student.

Most of the actors who auditioned for the first few auditions were working part-time and had not been exposed to the campus atmosphere for a long time.

"I, I, I totally can. ”

Jackassie Chastain was incoherent with excitement, and the thought of becoming the heroine of a film made her feel that something was unreal.

Even if it is a film with little investment, the script is very bad, and it is very likely that it will not be released in theaters, but it is still the heroine of a movie.

Although she often participates in various film and theater-related activities, and even acts as a background cloth, let alone the heroine, she has never performed a small role in a few seconds.

Actors also need to accumulate qualifications, and having played the heroine of a film and having played many roles, the two are obviously not comparable.

Otherwise, Hollywood's low-budget independent films will not make countless actors thirsty.

Of course, the film in front of you can also be classified as an independent film.

"By the way, you should still be in school now, do you need to ask the school for leave!" Ryan suddenly thought, and Jeboxie Chastain in front of him seemed to be still in school.

"I can ask for leave from school on my own, so there shouldn't be any problem. ”

Compared with the heroine in a film, taking a leave of absence from school is obviously not a difficult thing for Jackassie Chastain.

If it were placed on the other side of the Pacific Ocean, a high school or junior high school student would take a leave of absence to shoot a movie, and countless people would come out to stop it.

But in the case of the United States, this is not a problem at all.

Many private schools wish that a big star could appear in their own school, so as to take the opportunity to increase the exposure of the school.

"Okay, you go back and familiarize yourself with the script first, and from next Monday, the crew will officially start filming. Ryan estimated the time and estimated that there would be no problem with the start-up next Monday.

Even, if Helen didn't feel that he was in too much of a hurry, he could turn on the camera right now and ensure that the shoot was finished as quickly as possible.

"As for the salary, Helen will talk to you in a moment. ”

"By the way, the content of the script needs to be kept secret and not leaked to anyone. ”

Jerkassie Chastain suddenly felt that the script in his hand had become heavy, for fear that one would accidentally leak it out and lose the opportunity to perform as a heroine.

As for the salary, it is no longer in her scope of consideration.

There are a lot of actresses in Hollywood every day, in order to be the heroine, or post themselves upside down, only those famous big-name stars will really care about the salary.

"Thank you, thank you I will definitely keep it a secret. ”

Ryan smiled lightly and said, "You won't regret your choice today. ”

Jerkassie Chastain nodded vigorously and carefully put the script into her carry-on bag before saying goodbye.

Helen didn't say anything about Ryan's decision until Jackassie Chastain left, and she said, "You want to mainly bring out the presence of the heroine in the film!"

Ryan said undeniably, "That's right. ”

"There is no problem with the film itself, whether it is mainly to set off the heroine or the other two male leads. ”

"However, I really don't see any potential in the male actors you selected, so it is better to bring out some more heroines. ”

Besides, when the film is released, both the media and fans who feel fooled need a catharsis object. ”

The distribution company of the film will obviously not be blamed by this, and Ryan, as an investor, director, and editor, will naturally not be blamed.

Then you can only let a few leading actors in the film vent the anger of the media and fans.

In the previous life, the craftsmanship was like this, pushing out the director and main actors in the film, allowing the media and fans to vent their anger.

Now he just crossed out the director column.

"Although negative fame is also a kind of fame, but once the situation is out of control, then you will ruin their acting career and can only leave Hollywood. ”

Helen looked calm, with beautiful blue eyes, and looked at Ryan quietly.

"There's no way around it. Ryan shrugged his shoulders with a helpless expression.

"And what about Jeckassie Chastain!"

"How are you going to whitewash her with the media and fans!"

Helen showed a sneer and said, "You are not afraid to wait for the film to be released, in the face of countless people's abuse, she can't help but be the first to kill you!"

When he auditioned just now, Ryan didn't mention it at all, and a girl who was only seventeen years old had to collapse when she accepted the vicious abuse of the entire North American media and countless fans.

He's just a complete jerk.

The momentary abuse will always pass, and it's a big deal to go out and travel for a while, and when she comes back from her trip, those media have long forgotten about her. ”

Even if you are a superstar, you can't be sought after by the media all the time.

There are countless news stories going on in Hollywood every day, and she will soon be forgotten.

"What's more, a young girl who is not yet eighteen years old will always have some preferential treatment. ”

"For example, if you study hard and get admitted to a prestigious university with excellent grades, you can get a scholarship. ”

"Personally, I think the University of Southern California is a great choice. ”

Ryan didn't care about Helen's taunt at all, but said to himself.

"Very nice character. ”

Helen's tone was slightly cold, and she said, "But do you think the entrance examination to the University of Southern California is easy!"

The University of Southern California's admissions tests have always been rigorous, especially when it comes to interviews, which are simply outrageous.

With Jeccasie Chastain's family background, it is not easy to get into the University of Southern California.

Ryan said without changing his face: "USC may indeed be difficult for Jacasseh Chastain. ”

"But if she could have a letter of recommendation from a prominent USC alumnus, I don't think the university would turn her away. ”

In American society, celebrity letters often play a pivotal role.

Famous USC alumni!

"You mean yourself?"

"Or do you not know what this sentence means!" Helen said with a hint of sarcasm in her tone, as if mocking his ignorance.

Trying to get a famous USC alumnus to write a letter of recommendation to a girl who is burdened with countless negative news is far more difficult than I imagined.

Ryan replied with a smile that he thought was very handsome, and said, "Ahem, I'm naturally not a famous alumnus. ”

However, George himself is not only a famous alumnus of USC, but also often returns to his alma mater to teach free of charge. ”

George Lucas is a famous alumnus of the University of Southern California, and George Lucas has always been generous in his donations to his alma mater.

If you can have a letter of recommendation written by George Lucas, no matter how much abuse there is, the interview can be easily passed.

USC will never turn down a student recommended by George Lucas.

"You don't have to worry about that. ”

Helen had apparently just thought that George Lucas not only had extensive connections in Hollywood, but was also a prestigious USC alumnus who was keen to give back to his alma mater.

Ryan spread his hands and didn't say anything more.

He doesn't believe that when "Blair the Witch" is released, even if it is only half of the box office in his previous life, it will be as high as tens of millions of dollars, and then I am afraid that Helen will find a way to whitewash the three leading actors as soon as possible.

In the previous life, "Blair the Witch" grossed $140.5 million in North America and $249 million worldwide.

Even if it is a few years in advance, there may be some deviations at the box office, and the estimate will not be too low.

He didn't believe it, and Helen wouldn't be in a hurry when the time came.

Anyway, she is the boss of the Star Agency.

Ryan just wants to find an actress who is both famous, popular, and cheap to be the heroine of the next film.

Otherwise, he would be too lazy to say anything.
