Through the mountain road of Santa Monica, from the northern entrance to the danilisi Movie City, we come to the parking lot of the three-story administrative district of the movie city. It's less than 9 a.m., and the parking lot that can accommodate hundreds of cars is already crowded. People come and go around in a hurry. It's full of vitality.
Amy asked Jessica on the co pilot to get out of the car and look for a moment. Then she found a vacancy in the inner corner of the parking lot and drove quickly.
After parking the car, the two women walked to the office building side by side. Amy looked around and said with some inexplicable pride because she had just participated in a blockbuster movie of danielis Entertainment: "there are so many people. Compared with this place, the set of paramount and fox is a nursing home."
"I think so, too."
Jessica said, just turned a corner, saw a tall girl with dark hair in sunglasses face to face with them and walk towards another office building, suddenly felt pressure mountain, her appearance is her biggest weakness, even Amy is not as good, the agent proposed her plastic surgery this time.
It's not unwillingness, it's mainly lack of money.
Amy was much calmer than Jessica, and she turned her head to catch up with her: "that one just now, it seems that I saw it somewhere. Is it a model?"
"Salome harrow, in the recent movie" the whole story ", she guest starred in Matt Dillon's girlfriend," Jessica quoted her name, but she couldn't help adding: "it must be the kind that doesn't develop very well now, otherwise she should attend fashion week in Europe."
Amy felt the sour tone of Jessica's voice and said with a smile, "maybe it's an audition here for some important role."
"She's not Simon's type," Jessica said subconsciously
Amy asked with a smile, "what type does Simon like?"
Jessica gets a little stuck and gives Amy a white look.
However, if you think about a girl with a coquettish temperament just now, her skin is the popular white style in recent years, and there is no sausage mouth taboo in the rumor. Her face may not be beautiful, but it is absolutely not ugly, not to mention her figure.
Ah, people are more angry than others.
Amy tilted Jessica's face and continued to mend: "besides, maybe Simon will change his taste once in a while."
Jessica stares at Amy's smile. She quickly reaches for her arm, and the other hand grabs Amy's waist.
Amy's arm was restrained, and she couldn't escape. She didn't dare to pull too much with Jessica on this occasion, so she could only plead for mercy.
The two women said that they had come to the entrance of a cafe on the ground floor of the staff restaurant in the administrative district.
Standing at the door waiting for the two female assistants Lina Kane saw them appear, three or two steps forward, directly began to reprimand: "just what? Be careful. This is not your apartment. "
Amy broke away Jessica's claws, went forward and put her arms around the short round face girl. But she tried to revolt: "Lina, I'm a big star now, and I'm your boss. You should respect me."
Lena Kane, with the same white eyes, went into the coffee shop with Amy and said, "I was just about to say that you should give me a raise."
Amy was immediately discouraged: "OK, let's change the subject."
Jessica seized the opportunity: "no, I'm waiting for the follow-up."
In fact, the intimacy of the three girls is obvious. In recent months, although she is a newcomer from wma, Lina tries her best to manage for them in all aspects and is very professional. She is familiar with negotiation, public relations, schedule coordination and so on.
Both women are not stupid. If such an assistant can cooperate for a long time, it will certainly help them a lot in their career. Therefore, they don't say anything on the surface, and they have a tendency to rob people inside. After all, with the promotion of coffee position, it is definitely not suitable for them to share another assistant.
What's more, Lina is obviously a person with her own opinions. If Amy really plays with boss temperament, she will be fired.
After everyone entered the cafe and ordered coffee, Lina quickly took out a few pages of the script and handed it over: "Jason has something to deal with temporarily, and he will be there in half an hour. This is the audition script of celebrity. Get familiar with it as soon as possible. The formal audition starts at 10 o'clock. In addition, the bad news is that Jesse, the heroine of "Elizabeth" has been scheduled, and the audition in the afternoon has been cancelled
"Elizabeth" is the latest project of gaomen film's team, which specializes in producing British films. It tells the legend of Queen Elizabeth I.
Four Weddings and a funeral, BJ's single diary, six heroes of the pig and other hot movies have been produced in succession. Every project of the British team of gaomen film has attracted Hollywood attention. Two female agents Jason baster try to fight for audition opportunities for them. Originally, Amy, who thought she was the heroine of ghost, had more hope of being noticed, but the result is not satisfactory It's Jessica chastan.
Amy's image is far from that of Elizabeth I.
For this audition, Jessica has been running around recently to publicize the ghost story. She also trains her English accent every day. Unexpectedly, the audition will be cancelled suddenly."What's the matter?" Jessica asked with a look of disappointment
"It's an Australian actress named Kate Blanchett," Lena said, leaning slightly over and lowering her voice. "Jason called and Simon made the decision himself."
Jessica didn't know what to say for a moment, but Amy tried to suppress the little schadenfreude in her heart, but she couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "isn't that Kate very beautiful?"
Lena conjures a picture out of her satchel and hands it to Amy for two.
When the two women looked at it together, Amy said subconsciously, "it's not Simon's type, because it's a bit big."
"If Simon only chooses the beautiful girl he likes to be the heroine, you shouldn't be here now, and he won't be able to make the achievements he appears in." "Kate graduated from the National Academy of drama in Sydney. She has been in a drama for five years before, and has been nominated for the Australian green house Award for the heroine of Hamlet. Simon has no problem with her," she explained
The two women don't know about the green house award. They just think it's similar to the Tony Award in the United States. Jessica, who just played a supporting role, really can't compare.
Lina took back the photo again and said, "well, look at your script, because it's all small roles. It's very possible for you to win this movie together."
Jessica looks at the script in her hand in silence.
But Amy had a little disgust in her gossip: "Lena, this, Woody Allen, that, a few years ago..."
Lina interrupted: "be realistic, Amy. If that happens again in the future, you can draw a line openly. Now, it's Gilded for an actress to show her face in Woody Allen's movies. If you have a mental cleanliness mania, my advice is to go back to your Colorado, find an honest farmer to be your husband, go to church every week, have eight children, and try to cultivate them into devout Puritans. "
Amy spat out her tongue. She didn't dare to say any more. She complimented, "Lina, I didn't expect you to be so talented. In ten seconds, you came up with a play."
"Do you want to play?" Lena rolled her eyes and then said, "also, since the audition for" Elizabeth "in the afternoon has been cancelled, I've already made an appointment for you to see the room. The apartment in Santa Monica mountain can't live any more, and you also need to separate."
The small apartment in Santa Monica mountain was rented by the two women for the convenience of shooting ghost record. There is no privacy at all. Now the two women are well-known and their security can not be guaranteed. It is inevitable to change their residence.
However, after hearing this, Amy and her assistant said, "Lina, Jesse and I are poor now. Living together can save some money."
"And soon the tabloids will say you're lace."
"How can it be like this? There are so many men and women sharing in Los Angeles. They are all gay?"
"It's never a question of whether you're gay, it's a question of whether people think you're gay. If you're just nobody, it's OK to live together. It's different now, unless you don't mind your career. "
Amy can only nod: "OK."
Lena took a sip of her coffee and urged, "OK, read the script carefully. It's said that Simon has paid close attention to this project himself. It should become a peak of woody in recent years."
Amy was curious again: "Simon has paid attention to it personally. How do you know?"
Jessica looked at it curiously.
"I have my own source of information," Lena showed a little bit of her networking potential, and then said, "Woody initially wanted to make the project into a black-and-white film to pay homage to Fellini's" sweet life ". Ella of gaomen has agreed to send it to Simon and was rejected. Simon talked to woody face to face in New York some time ago. He likes this story very much, But I don't agree that black-and-white films should be made in color, but also in heavy color. In Simon's original words, it's a kind of retro magnificence similar to the golden age of Hollywood. "
Jessica asked, "did woody compromise?"
"Of course."
"Although..." Amy raised her hand a little and said, "but it's not hard for a big director like woody to find other investors, is it?"
"No matter how big a director is, he's just a director. What's more, after that incident, it was the help of gaomen film industry that made woody come back. In recent films, he has also cooperated with gaomen. What do you think woody should choose? " Lina said that, without waiting for the two girls to answer, she added: "so, Simon is very optimistic about this project. Even if he can't get the role in hand, you'd better go to show your face to the passers-by. There are a lot of plays in the whole script."
The two women listened to Lina's talk about the inside story about a big man. Even if it wasn't private gossip, they were all interested in it and wanted to talk more. Unfortunately, the female assistant soon shut up and motioned to the script in their hands.
Amy and I had to stop thinking and start to work on a few pages of the script.
So after more than half an hour, a thin, tall, middle-aged man about 40 years old arrived in a hurry. It was Jason baster, the two women's agent.As soon as he was seated, the tired looking agent said to the two women with emotion: "Amy, Jesse, you must pay attention to finding out the age of the little boy when you fall in love in the future." then he burst out an American National curse, and then he continued to talk to the two women or to himself: "since Michael's incident, the little things now have found their way, one by one It's hard
This is obviously a story.
The two women looked up and waited together. Unfortunately, the agent had stopped, took the coffee from the waiter, had a few drinks, and returned to normal again. As if those words were not what he said just now, they turned to other things: "first, let's talk about a good message that you must want to know for the first time. I just received a phone call on the way when I came. There will be a bonus for ghost record, Amy is 300 thousand dollars, Jesse, you also have 100 thousand dollars, but you all need to sign a definite sequel contract, and Jesse is definitely the heroine of the sequel. Oh, by the way, things have been settled in the actors' Union. This agreement will guarantee you the basic agreement of the union. "
Next to Jason Baxter, Lina, who had been sipping coffee in her hand, heard a sentence in the agent's words and made an obvious pause.
During this period of time, Jessica chastan has been following the propaganda as a minor supporting role, and everyone speculates that she may be the main player in the sequel.
Now, it is.
Amy and Jessica's first reaction was surprise. However, hearing the attached conditions, Jessica calmed down first: "Jason, when we were running for publicity the other day, Denny Morris talked to us and suggested that we should not make fake documentaries any more?"
"It's not to let your next movie take over Hollywood's messy follow-up fake documentaries, which will make you stereotyped." ghost record "is certainly different."
Amy went straight to the key: "Jason, how much will we get if we sign a sequel?"
The agent looked at Amy and said, "your role is finished. The follow-up will probably only be a guest star in the background and get a symbolic basic film reward. On Jesse's side, as the heroine of the sequel, the film's salary can be about 300000 yuan. "
Amy was disappointed and couldn't help feeling aggrieved for Jessica: "the ghost record is so popular now, can Jesse get 300000 when she is the heroine of the sequel?"
"You have to understand that this movie is very popular, not you actors. Moreover, because of the theme of the next series, even if the first movie sold to $500 million at the box office worldwide, the sequel can only be low-cost and can't give you too much money. "
Amy blurted out, "then we won't play it."
Jason reluctantly looked at Amy who had just finished saying that he obviously had some regrets: "if you don't play, first of all, you won't get the reward this time. Secondly, you will be sued because the original terms included the sequel agreement. Besides, it's not just daenerys. You don't want to get any chance from other studios. To sum up, you can just quit Hollywood. "
Amy was silent.
Even if I only got $8000 from this project, the actor agreement did include a sequel clause, but there were no details. Obviously, this time, Denise is going to use a bonus as an incentive, while clarifying the details.
If they don't agree, the outcome is basically the same as the broker's judgment.
Seeing that Amy calmed down, Jason Buster looked at Jessica, who obviously had no objection, and then said, "Amy, Jessie, from now on, I hope you will take the ghost record as a past tense. You can only sign the next agreement, and you have no other choice. However, after signing, in order to ensure the sequel, Denise entertainment will definitely give you more resources in other aspects. What you need to do is to get rid of the label of cheap fake documentary star that may be stereotyped as soon as possible. Do you understand? "
The two women didn't have much hesitation this time. They both nodded quickly.
Jason Buster also nodded slightly with satisfaction. Fortunately, he was not two dumb blondes whose brains were too simple to save. So he said another thing: "also, tonight, Michael Jordan, chairman of Westinghouse Electric, held a reception at bellell's side and invited the cast of ghost. You can take part in it. It's very helpful for your contacts."
Before Jessica said it, Amy blurted out: "Michael Jordan?"
Jason Baxter said with a smile, "he's a fat white man of 60 with the same name."
Amy said, "we don't know each other. Why should we go to his party?"
“……”
“……”
“……”
Seeing that the three people around were speechless, Amy realized that she had said something stupid and said, "OK, I'll go."
Jason had to explain: "Westinghouse acquired CBS two years ago, CBS knows? Then, the company has been strengthening its layout in the media field for the past two years. Recently, Westinghouse and Siemens have reached an agreement to sell part of its power business for a large amount of cash. Recently, the company is strengthening its film and television production department, and may purchase large studios in the future. All in all, you just need to remember that Michael Jordan will become a big player in Hollywood next time. He invited you two new people because of the recent "ghost record" craze. There will be many Hollywood celebrities at the party. It's a good opportunity to build a network. We should cherish it. "Amy understood that.
Jessica hesitated and asked tentatively, "Jason, will Simon go?"
After a moment, the agent said, "Simon happens to be in Los Angeles these days. Maybe he'll go, so you should be more energetic."
The two girls nodded again.
Even though she was just complaining about a result she couldn't choose, Amy instinctively looked forward to seeing Simon westrow again.
Jason said this, raised his wrist, looked at his watch and said, "we'll go to the audition at 9:50. You still have some time to prepare. By the way, did Lena tell you about Jesse and Elizabeth?"
"I did."
"It's a pity, but don't be disappointed. You're not short of opportunities next."
"Well."
With that, the two women began to prepare for the audition of celebrity. They didn't notice one thing in the whole process, that is, Jason's indifference to Lina.
Lena Kane didn't mind, either, and understood Jason Baxter's reaction.
The two women are thinking about winning over Lina these days. Lina is also thinking about her future.
Before becoming an assistant to the two women, Lena, a graduate of USC, was an intern under wma, and had been working in wma's mailroom for one year, where a large number of legendary brokers were born.
She got the chance because her parents had some connections with the circle. Because through her parents' contacts, Lina found out that the two girls were the candidates for the ghost show designated by Simon westero himself, and even knew more about the ghost show, such as a project conceived and planned by Simon westero himself.
Therefore, whether it is the film itself or the actors involved, the future can be imagined.
Now, "ghost record" hot, basically in Lina's expectations.
However, just before Jason Buster revealed that Jessica chastan would become the heroine of the sequel to ghost, Lena had not yet fully determined her future career.
She will definitely not continue to work as an assistant like a nanny.
At first, the next choice is to be promoted to be Amy's or the two women's joint manager, who has the same right as the agent to share the actors' remuneration. However, this requires that the two women or one of them should be promoted fast enough to reach the level that they need the two backbone to help them manage their career.
Otherwise, brokers and managers whose functions overlap to a great extent will inevitably have differences and even antagonism.
The second option is to take at least one client from Jason Baxter.
During this period, the two women have fully recognized her ability, so Lina has enough confidence to dig the wall.
Amy Adams is of course the best choice, but it's too difficult. It's a real grab. Jason Buster will be in a hurry and bring the matter to Jonathan Friedman.
As the head of wma, Jonathan can't like to see infighting in wma, and her parents' connections can't sustain Friedman's anger,
so it's better to take Jessica chastan.
However, the problem has arisen again.
Jessica is just a supporting role in ghost, even if the film is very popular, because this film belongs to the type of typical popular film, Amy is not popular, Jessica is still uncertain.
Just now, I heard that Jessica chastan was confirmed as the heroine of the sequel to the ghost, which confirmed Jessica's future security, or even more security, because since she is the protagonist of the sequel, in order to ensure the success of the sequel project, compared with Amy who is already on the verge, Jessica will be more likely to get resource support from Denise entertainment.
Now that he has made up his mind to take Jessica away from Jason Buster, the agent is acutely aware of her threat. There is nothing wrong with his indifference. He may even be thinking about how to kick her out first.
Hollywood is like that.
No smoke, still the battlefield. People here may not be smart, but there will never be innocent and kind rabbits, because they can't survive.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
Through the mountain road of Santa Monica, from the northern entrance to the danilisi Movie City, we come to the parking lot of the three-story administrative district of the movie city.

To sum up, you can just quit Hollywood. "
Amy was silent.
Even if I only got $8000 from this project, the actor agreement did include a sequel clause, but there were no details. Obviously, this time, Denise is going to use a bonus as an incentive, while clarifying the details.
If they don't agree, the outcome is basically the same as the broker's judgment.
Seeing that Amy calmed down, Jason Buster looked at Jessica, who obviously had no objection, and then said, "Amy, Jessie, from now on, I hope you will take the ghost record as a past tense. You can only sign the next agreement, and you have no other choice. However, after signing, in order to ensure the sequel, Denise entertainment will definitely give you more resources in other aspects. What you need to do is to get rid of the label of cheap fake documentary star that may be stereotyped as soon as possible. Do you understand? "
The two women didn't have much hesitation this time. They both nodded quickly.
Jason Buster also nodded slightly with satisfaction. Fortunately, he was not two dumb blondes whose brains were too simple to save. So he said another thing: "also, tonight, Michael Jordan, chairman of Westinghouse Electric, held a reception at bellell's side and invited the cast of ghost. You can take part in it. It's very helpful for your contacts."
Before Jessica said it, Amy blurted out: "Michael Jordan?"
Jason Baxter said with a smile, "he's a fat white man of 60 with the same name."
Amy said, "we don't know each other. Why should we go to his party?"
“……”
“……”
“……”
Seeing that the three people around were speechless, Amy realized that she had said something stupid and said, "OK, I'll go."
Jason had to explain: "Westinghouse acquired CBS two years ago, CBS knows? Then, the company has been strengthening its layout in the media field for the past two years. Recently, Westinghouse and Siemens have reached an agreement to sell part of its power business for a large amount of cash. Recently, the company is strengthening its film and television production department, and may purchase large studios in the future. All in all, you just need to remember that Michael Jordan will become a big player in Hollywood next time. He invited you two new people because of the recent "ghost record" craze. There will be many Hollywood celebrities at the party. It's a good opportunity to build a network. We should cherish it. "Amy understood that.
Jessica hesitated and asked tentatively, "Jason, will Simon go?"
After a moment, the agent said, "Simon happens to be in Los Angeles these days. Maybe he'll go, so you should be more energetic."
The two girls nodded again.
Even though she was just complaining about a result she couldn't choose, Amy instinctively looked forward to seeing Simon westrow again.
Jason said this, raised his wrist, looked at his watch and said, "we'll go to the audition at 9:50. You still have some time to prepare. By the way, did Lena tell you about Jesse and Elizabeth?"
"I did."
"It's a pity, but don't be disappointed. You're not short of opportunities next."
"Well."
With that, the two women began to prepare for the audition of celebrity. They didn't notice one thing in the whole process, that is, Jason's indifference to Lina.
Lena Kane didn't mind, either, and understood Jason Baxter's reaction.
The two women are thinking about winning over Lina these days. Lina is also thinking about her future.
Before becoming an assistant to the two women, Lena, a graduate of USC, was an intern under wma, and had been working in wma's mailroom for one year, where a large number of legendary brokers were born.
She got the chance because her parents had some connections with the circle. Because through her parents' contacts, Lina found out that the two girls were the candidates for the ghost show designated by Simon westero himself, and even knew more about the ghost show, such as a project conceived and planned by Simon westero himself.
Therefore, whether it is the film itself or the actors involved, the future can be imagined.
Now, "ghost record" hot, basically in Lina's expectations.
However, just before Jason Buster revealed that Jessica chastan would become the heroine of the sequel to ghost, Lena had not yet fully determined her future career.
She will definitely not continue to work as an assistant like a nanny.
At first, the next choice is to be promoted to be Amy's or the two women's joint manager, who has the same right as the agent to share the actors' remuneration. However, this requires that the two women or one of them should be promoted fast enough to reach the level that they need the two backbone to help them manage their career.
Otherwise, brokers and managers whose functions overlap to a great extent will inevitably have differences and even antagonism.
The second option is to take at least one client from Jason Baxter.
During this period, the two women have fully recognized her ability, so Lina has enough confidence to dig the wall.
Amy Adams is of course the best choice, but it's too difficult. It's a real grab. Jason Buster will be in a hurry and bring the matter to Jonathan Friedman.
As the head of wma, Jonathan can't like to see infighting in wma, and her parents' connections can't sustain Friedman's anger,
so it's better to take Jessica chastan.
However, the problem has arisen again.
Jessica is just a supporting role in ghost, even if the film is very popular, because this film belongs to the type of typical popular film, Amy is not popular, Jessica is still uncertain.
Just now, I heard that Jessica chastan was confirmed as the heroine of the sequel to the ghost, which confirmed Jessica's future security, or even more security, because since she is the protagonist of the sequel, in order to ensure the success of the sequel project, compared with Amy who is already on the verge, Jessica will be more likely to get resource support from Denise entertainment.
Now that he has made up his mind to take Jessica away from Jason Buster, the agent is acutely aware of her threat. There is nothing wrong with his indifference. He may even be thinking about how to kick her out first.
Hollywood is like that.
No smoke, still the battlefield. People here may not be smart, but there will never be innocent and kind rabbits, because they can't survive.
Through the mountain road of Santa Monica, from the northern entrance to the danilisi Movie City, we come to the parking lot of the three-story administrative district of the movie city. It's less than 9 a.m., and the parking lot that can accommodate hundreds of cars is already crowded. People come and go around in a hurry. It's full of vitality. Amy asked Jessica on the co pilot to get out of the car and look for a moment. Then she found a vacancy in the inner corner of the parking lot and drove quickly. After parking the car, the two women walked to the office building side by side. Amy looked around and said with some inexplicable pride because she had just participated in a blockbuster movie of danielis Entertainment: "there are so many people. Compared with this place, the set of paramount and fox is a nursing home." "I think so, too." Jessica said, just turned a corner, saw a tall girl with dark hair in sunglasses face to face with them and walk towards another office building, suddenly felt pressure mountain, her appearance is her biggest weakness, even Amy is not as good, the agent proposed her plastic surgery this time. It's not unwillingness, it's mainly lack of money. Amy was much calmer than Jessica, and she turned her head to catch up with her: "that one just now, it seems that I saw it somewhere. Is it a model?" "Salome harrow, in the recent movie" the whole story ", she guest starred in Matt Dillon's girlfriend," Jessica quoted her name, but she couldn't help adding: "it must be the kind that doesn't develop very well now, otherwise she should attend fashion week in Europe." Amy felt the sour tone of Jessica's voice and said with a smile, "maybe it's an audition here for some important role." "She's not Simon's type," Jessica said subconsciously Amy asked with a smile, "what type does Simon like?" Jessica gets a little stuck and gives Amy a white look. However, if you think about a girl with a coquettish temperament just now, her skin is the popular white style in recent years, and there is no sausage mouth taboo in the rumor. Her face may not be beautiful, but it is absolutely not ugly, not to mention her figure. Ah, people are more angry than others. Amy tilted Jessica's face and continued to mend: "besides, maybe Simon will change his taste once in a while." Jessica stares at Amy's smile. She quickly reaches for her arm, and the other hand grabs Amy's waist. Amy's arm was restrained, and she couldn't escape. She didn't dare to pull too much with Jessica on this occasion, so she could only plead for mercy. The two women said that they had come to the entrance of a cafe on the ground floor of the staff restaurant in the administrative district. Standing at the door waiting for the two female assistants Lina Kane saw them appear, three or two steps forward, directly began to reprimand: "just what? Be careful. This is not your apartment. " Amy broke away Jessica's claws, went forward and put her arms around the short round face girl. But she tried to revolt: "Lina, I'm a big star now, and I'm your boss. You should respect me." Lena Kane, with the same white eyes, went into the coffee shop with Amy and said, "I was just about to say that you should give me a raise." Amy was immediately discouraged: "OK, let's change the subject." Jessica seized the opportunity: "no, I'm waiting for the follow-up." In fact, the intimacy of the three girls is obvious. In recent months, although she is a newcomer from wma, Lina tries her best to manage for them in all aspects and is very professional. She is familiar with negotiation, public relations, schedule coordination and so on. Both women are not stupid. If such an assistant can cooperate for a long time, it will certainly help them a lot in their career. Therefore, they don't say anything on the surface, and they have a tendency to rob people inside. After all, with the promotion of coffee position, it is definitely not suitable for them to share another assistant. What's more, Lina is obviously a person with her own opinions. If Amy really plays with boss temperament, she will be fired. After everyone entered the cafe and ordered coffee, Lina quickly took out a few pages of the script and handed it over: "Jason has something to deal with temporarily, and he will be there in half an hour. This is the audition script of celebrity. Get familiar with it as soon as possible. The formal audition starts at 10 o'clock. In addition, the bad news is that Jesse, the heroine of "Elizabeth" has been scheduled, and the audition in the afternoon has been cancelled "Elizabeth" is the latest project of gaomen film's team, which specializes in producing British films. It tells the legend of Queen Elizabeth I. Four Weddings and a funeral, BJ's single diary, six heroes of the pig and other hot movies have been produced in succession. Every project of the British team of gaomen film has attracted Hollywood attention. Two female agents Jason baster try to fight for audition opportunities for them. Originally, Amy, who thought she was the heroine of ghost, had more hope of being noticed, but the result is not satisfactory It's Jessica chastan. Amy's image is far from that of Elizabeth I. For this audition, Jessica has been running around recently to publicize the ghost story. She also trains her English accent every day. Unexpectedly, the audition will be cancelled suddenly."What's the matter?" Jessica asked with a look of disappointment "It's an Australian actress named Kate Blanchett," Lena said, leaning slightly over and lowering her voice. "Jason called and Simon made the decision himself." Jessica didn't know what to say for a moment, but Amy tried to suppress the little schadenfreude in her heart, but she couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "isn't that Kate very beautiful?" Lena conjures a picture out of her satchel and hands it to Amy for two. When the two women looked at it together, Amy said subconsciously, "it's not Simon's type, because it's a bit big." "If Simon only chooses the beautiful girl he likes to be the heroine, you shouldn't be here now, and he won't be able to make the achievements he appears in." "Kate graduated from the National Academy of drama in Sydney. She has been in a drama for five years before, and has been nominated for the Australian green house Award for the heroine of Hamlet. Simon has no problem with her," she explained The two women don't know about the green house award. They just think it's similar to the Tony Award in the United States. Jessica, who just played a supporting role, really can't compare. Lina took back the photo again and said, "well, look at your script, because it's all small roles. It's very possible for you to win this movie together." Jessica looks at the script in her hand in silence. But Amy had a little disgust in her gossip: "Lena, this, Woody Allen, that, a few years ago..." Lina interrupted: "be realistic, Amy. If that happens again in the future, you can draw a line openly. Now, it's Gilded for an actress to show her face in Woody Allen's movies. If you have a mental cleanliness mania, my advice is to go back to your Colorado, find an honest farmer to be your husband, go to church every week, have eight children, and try to cultivate them into devout Puritans. " Amy spat out her tongue. She didn't dare to say any more. She complimented, "Lina, I didn't expect you to be so talented. In ten seconds, you came up with a play." "Do you want to play?" Lena rolled her eyes and then said, "also, since the audition for" Elizabeth "in the afternoon has been cancelled, I've already made an appointment for you to see the room. The apartment in Santa Monica mountain can't live any more, and you also need to separate." The small apartment in Santa Monica mountain was rented by the two women for the convenience of shooting ghost record. There is no privacy at all. Now the two women are well-known and their security can not be guaranteed. It is inevitable to change their residence. However, after hearing this, Amy and her assistant said, "Lina, Jesse and I are poor now. Living together can save some money." "And soon the tabloids will say you're lace." "How can it be like this? There are so many men and women sharing in Los Angeles. They are all gay?" "It's never a question of whether you're gay, it's a question of whether people think you're gay. If you're just nobody, it's OK to live together. It's different now, unless you don't mind your career. " Amy can only nod: "OK." Lena took a sip of her coffee and urged, "OK, read the script carefully. It's said that Simon has paid close attention to this project himself. It should become a peak of woody in recent years." Amy was curious again: "Simon has paid attention to it personally. How do you know?" Jessica looked at it curiously. "I have my own source of information," Lena showed a little bit of her networking potential, and then said, "Woody initially wanted to make the project into a black-and-white film to pay homage to Fellini's" sweet life ". Ella of gaomen has agreed to send it to Simon and was rejected. Simon talked to woody face to face in New York some time ago. He likes this story very much, But I don't agree that black-and-white films should be made in color, but also in heavy color. In Simon's original words, it's a kind of retro magnificence similar to the golden age of Hollywood. " Jessica asked, "did woody compromise?" "Of course." "Although..." Amy raised her hand a little and said, "but it's not hard for a big director like woody to find other investors, is it?" "No matter how big a director is, he's just a director. What's more, after that incident, it was the help of gaomen film industry that made woody come back. In recent films, he has also cooperated with gaomen. What do you think woody should choose? " Lina said that, without waiting for the two girls to answer, she added: "so, Simon is very optimistic about this project. Even if he can't get the role in hand, you'd better go to show your face to the passers-by. There are a lot of plays in the whole script." The two women listened to Lina's talk about the inside story about a big man. Even if it wasn't private gossip, they were all interested in it and wanted to talk more. Unfortunately, the female assistant soon shut up and motioned to the script in their hands. Amy and I had to stop thinking and start to work on a few pages of the script. So after more than half an hour, a thin, tall, middle-aged man about 40 years old arrived in a hurry. It was Jason baster, the two women's agent.As soon as he was seated, the tired looking agent said to the two women with emotion: "Amy, Jesse, you must pay attention to finding out the age of the little boy when you fall in love in the future." then he burst out an American National curse, and then he continued to talk to the two women or to himself: "since Michael's incident, the little things now have found their way, one by one It's hard This is obviously a story. The two women looked up and waited together. Unfortunately, the agent had stopped, took the coffee from the waiter, had a few drinks, and returned to normal again. As if those words were not what he said just now, they turned to other things: "first, let's talk about a good message that you must want to know for the first time. I just received a phone call on the way when I came. There will be a bonus for ghost record, Amy is 300 thousand dollars, Jesse, you also have 100 thousand dollars, but you all need to sign a definite sequel contract, and Jesse is definitely the heroine of the sequel. Oh, by the way, things have been settled in the actors' Union. This agreement will guarantee you the basic agreement of the union. " Next to Jason Baxter, Lina, who had been sipping coffee in her hand, heard a sentence in the agent's words and made an obvious pause. During this period of time, Jessica chastan has been following the propaganda as a minor supporting role, and everyone speculates that she may be the main player in the sequel. Now, it is. Amy and Jessica's first reaction was surprise. However, hearing the attached conditions, Jessica calmed down first: "Jason, when we were running for publicity the other day, Denny Morris talked to us and suggested that we should not make fake documentaries any more?" "It's not to let your next movie take over Hollywood's messy follow-up fake documentaries, which will make you stereotyped." ghost record "is certainly different." Amy went straight to the key: "Jason, how much will we get if we sign a sequel?" The agent looked at Amy and said, "your role is finished. The follow-up will probably only be a guest star in the background and get a symbolic basic film reward. On Jesse's side, as the heroine of the sequel, the film's salary can be about 300000 yuan. " Amy was disappointed and couldn't help feeling aggrieved for Jessica: "the ghost record is so popular now, can Jesse get 300000 when she is the heroine of the sequel?" "You have to understand that this movie is very popular, not you actors. Moreover, because of the theme of the next series, even if the first movie sold to $500 million at the box office worldwide, the sequel can only be low-cost and can't give you too much money. " Amy blurted out, "then we won't play it." Jason reluctantly looked at Amy who had just finished saying that he obviously had some regrets: "if you don't play, first of all, you won't get the reward this time. Secondly, you will be sued because the original terms included the sequel agreement. Besides, it's not just daenerys. You don't want to get any chance from other studios. To sum up, you can just quit Hollywood. " Amy was silent. Even if I only got $8000 from this project, the actor agreement did include a sequel clause, but there were no details. Obviously, this time, Denise is going to use a bonus as an incentive, while clarifying the details. If they don't agree, the outcome is basically the same as the broker's judgment. Seeing that Amy calmed down, Jason Buster looked at Jessica, who obviously had no objection, and then said, "Amy, Jessie, from now on, I hope you will take the ghost record as a past tense. You can only sign the next agreement, and you have no other choice. However, after signing, in order to ensure the sequel, Denise entertainment will definitely give you more resources in other aspects. What you need to do is to get rid of the label of cheap fake documentary star that may be stereotyped as soon as possible. Do you understand? " The two women didn't have much hesitation this time. They both nodded quickly. Jason Buster also nodded slightly with satisfaction. Fortunately, he was not two dumb blondes whose brains were too simple to save. So he said another thing: "also, tonight, Michael Jordan, chairman of Westinghouse Electric, held a reception at bellell's side and invited the cast of ghost. You can take part in it. It's very helpful for your contacts." Before Jessica said it, Amy blurted out: "Michael Jordan?" Jason Baxter said with a smile, "he's a fat white man of 60 with the same name." Amy said, "we don't know each other. Why should we go to his party?" Seeing that the three people around were speechless, Amy realized that she had said something stupid and said, "OK, I'll go." Jason had to explain: "Westinghouse acquired CBS two years ago, CBS knows? Then, the company has been strengthening its layout in the media field for the past two years.

As the head of wma, Jonathan can't like to see infighting in wma, and her parents' connections can't sustain Friedman's anger, so it's better to take Jessica chastan. However, the problem has arisen again. Jessica is just a supporting role in ghost, even if the film is very popular, because this film belongs to the type of typical popular film, Amy is not popular, Jessica is still uncertain. Just now, I heard that Jessica chastan was confirmed as the heroine of the sequel to the ghost, which confirmed Jessica's future security, or even more security, because since she is the protagonist of the sequel, in order to ensure the success of the sequel project, compared with Amy who is already on the verge, Jessica will be more likely to get resource support from Denise entertainment.
