CHAPTER 8, NEXT

"!"

A few days later, Bryce, who pestered her father to watch a movie in USC, was stunned for a few seconds after the final climax and let out a low curse.

She turned sharply and asked her father, "How did she do it?" She looks like a monster! I swear I've seen her many times in school, and it's definitely not like that! "

"It's normal, and that's the beauty of performing arts." In the small screening room, Lang controlled the volume and diverted his attention from the next botched reversal and justice triumphant scene, "Coincidentally, someone gave me a similar feeling not long ago. "

Bryce couldn't help but ask, "Who?" "

Lang replied, "Christen. Dunst. "

Bryce was impressed with the name.

Claudia of "A Night Visit to the Vampire" defeated 5,000 equally beautiful and cute little girls to get roles, including the proud Princess Howard.

Bryce pursed the corners of her lips, revealing a little unwillingness.

Lang continued: "Pay attention to the girl's eyebrow raising action just now, she easily controls the orbicularis oculi muscles to behave the way she wants, this subtle facial muscle control ability that I was in Judy before. Foster has seen it on him. "

Bryce's voice suddenly rose: "That's Judy. Foster! "

Lang didn't want to think about it, and asked rhetorically: "So what?" "

Bryce scratched her hair so hard that she almost wanted to let out a scream.

"Judy. Foster was nominated for an Oscar at the age of fourteen! She has also won Best Actress twice! Bryce emphasized vigorously: "Judy. Foster is a genius! "

"So?" Long asked again, and he turned his head to look at his daughter, "Josie. Horton was only sixteen when he shot this set of shots. Listen to me, Brie, there are a lot more talented actors than you might think, and most of them just lack opportunities. "

An actor who won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor once rushed to see his acting teacher to share his joy after winning the award, but the other party only told him to go out and turn left, and at least ten people in this acting school could play his role.

And the main reason why he can get the little golden man is not because of how good his acting skills are, but because he is lucky to get the role and successfully perform it.

Bryce was stunned.

Lang continued: "Not admitting your failures and blaming them on so-called geniuses is one of the reasons why you have been indiscriminate. It's true that a pretty babe like you can be popular in Hollywood for a few years when you have the chance, but then what? "

Lang gently held Blythe's hand, his expression indifferent, but there was an unconcealable concern in his eyes.

"Extraordinary beauty is a trump card, and playing with any advantage is a king bomb, but a single game is a dead end. And you, Bryce, I don't see that the real effort you make to become an actor comes from the strength of your own heart. "

"I wish I had been called 'Howard's father' instead of you being called 'Howard's daughter.'"

The younger and more beautiful you are, the easier it is to go astray, and this truth applies not only to Hollywood, but everywhere.

Because such girls have to face so many temptations, they can often easily gain everything and easily lose everything.

As a father, Long doesn't want his daughter to go to Hollywood right now, because he knows that Blythe is too young to have the maturity and strength to face the circle.

- Oh, his little Brie is only thirteen years old, and he is only a child.

But little girls and boys at this age are the beloved of many well-dressed big people in Hollywood, and even if he is a big director, there is no guarantee that Blythe will not be hurt after leaving his sight.

And the profession of actors, especially actors with good careers and artistic pursuits, requires them to be very sensitive, but the Hollywood environment does not allow them to have any vulnerability.

This is really paradoxical.

Hearing this, Bryce felt a little ashamed, but still a little unwilling, she changed the topic: "So Josie. What about Horton? "

Lang's gaze returned to the film, shaking his head and laughing: "Who knows." "

- At least she doesn't have Markey. Mark was so lucky.

The camera favors her and is fascinated by her.

But without the temporary crew of warm veins, the real Hollywood competition is completely fierce and cruel, and it still can't go far with such a little talent and luck.

The viewing of "Perfect Victim" will be a success, at least both at USC and the Directors Guild are good.

As a director, Ernest received many accolades, and even Hollywood producers contacted him on the spot if he was interested in making a full feature film.

No one would say no to such a good thing, especially if the other party is from Colombia, where the rich are deep.

The rest of the crew wasn't so lucky, like Lily. White, she hopes to follow the director to the new crew, but Ernest believes that the cooperation between them is not pleasant, and the two sides should know it and not force it.

"But this is our movie!" Lily pulled Ernest in an unobtrusive corner, blushing and emphasizing: "Without me, you can't make this film at all!" "

"But without you, they will also send another producer to me." Ernest frowned, he didn't agree with Lily, and he didn't want to continue to be controlled by her.

Lily didn't listen at all, or she listened but couldn't listen, still accusing: "I thought we were friends, how can you treat me like this, you even asked them to let Josie. Horton's little X-son who can only seduce men plays the heroine! "

"Stop. You shouldn't say that about her, it's rude, and she didn't do what you imagined. Ernest had a cold expression, "Lily. White, if you had spent more of your intrigue on the movie itself, you wouldn't have to be haunted like a personless grudge now. We can get new jobs, we can be recognized for our abilities, and that's our business. "

He raised his eyes, his gaze sharp and cold: "Your failure has nothing to do with others." "

Lily's face turned suddenly pale.

She opened her mouth and asked, "But can't you help me?" "

Ernest replied, "No, I don't want to." "

Don't want to, not can't.

The excitement of USC did not affect Josie.

Summer vacation has officially begun, the Screen Actors Guild has updated a slew of audition opportunities to choose from, and CAA has its own channel, and its famous packaging program always prioritizes its clients.

On the one hand, CAA brings together a large number of top talents in the industry, which saves a lot of trouble in the early preparation of the film, but on the other hand, CAA takes about 10% of the service fee for this service, which greatly increases the production cost of the film.

Hollywood studios love and hate it.

Back to business.

Through the first test of the waters, Martha roughly understood the scope of Josie's business ability, and after the two talked again, they set a small goal: to become an excellent youth idol, and the performance in acting skills should not be bad enough to be criticized.

She valued her new client and not only quickly arranged for Josie the acting master Stella . Adler's auditory quota also provided the fitness and beauty services required by Josie, of course, this money was temporarily paid by CAA.

- Josie was so poor that her two pockets clanged, and she didn't even dare to go out to a restaurant or department store.

Most importantly, Martha put together a portion of the film project and listed roles for Josie to choose from.

"Little Women", an Olympic film adapted from the classic book of the same name, Hollywood red jade girl Winona. Red confirmed to join, another popular actress Samantha. Marcis is in negotiation.

"Scars of Tears", Stephen. Adaptation of King's novel, Oscar actress Kathy. Bates' new film, she played the famous "Ten Days of Danger".

"Hidden Dragon", the sequel project to the blockbuster movie, action star Steven. Starring Seager and Warner set a budget of 60 million for this, aiming for next summer's box office bomb.

"Time and Space Titans", last year's film history "Philadelphia Story" made Denzel. Washington soared straight up, and this is the commercial action blockbuster he just took on.

"Dangerous Game", A-list actress Michelle. Pfeiffer will play an unconventional teacher, and the role that will open the audition is a rebellious middle school student.

"Very Secret Service", Keanu. Starring Levi's, the name already stands for everything in the moment... and "Love at First Sight", which is temporarily scheduled to star Demi Moore, which is a romantic comedy.

In addition to movies, there are a series of TV series auditions, including the future famous American drama Light "Friends", a cameo role; It is very suitable for Josie's "My So-called Life", one of the heroines.

And so on and so forth.

These projects encompassed film and television series, literary and commercial, supporting roles and leading roles, and it felt as if Hollywood was opening its doors to her, giving Josie the most intuitive experience of Martha's professional abilities and the benefits of joining CAA.

However, the consequences of the large number are easy to dazzle, and she must not ignore any character script that has been filtered and streamlined by interns.

Being able to successfully pick out the right role for her, Josie thinks this is the second test from Martha.

An actor's talent is important, but luck is even more important.

Brokers are responsible for matching clients, but not planning their careers, which is the professional domain of managers.

Most of the time, the only person who can decide your life is yourself.

Josie regretfully crossed the name of "Friends", and the very resident role made her lose interest, but if she was really asked to play the lead role, she would find it challenging to spend a long time playing the same role repeatedly.

"I remember you know, about Steven. The Siggy thing? "

At this time, Josie was sitting on a sofa in the CAA reception, looking up at the scenery outside the floor-to-ceiling windows.

Sitting across from her agent, Martha, asked very calmly, "An ashtray?" "

"Yes, right in the brain." Josie answered honestly, "His skill makes me suspect that he used a lot of stand-ins in the movie. "

"I settled this matter before." Martha casually asked, "If you want to fight for this role, it's not impossible." "

- However, it may not be very comfortable during the shooting.

Josie said, "Of course not. "

This film should be quite successful, because the sixth princess has let a bunch of Steven go one after another. The "XX Hidden Dragon" series of movies starring Seeger.

But a movie is just a movie, and it's not worth Josie sacrificing herself and sending it to the old man to take advantage.

To be honest, Josie doesn't think any character is worth doing that on her own, and that's a bottom-line question.

"Next." Martha said that she took the script page from Josie's hand and looked at it, "Oh, it seems that you don't like TV dramas, and you are not interested in insignificant supporting roles." "

Well, there is also some resistance to handsome guys, Keanu . Levi's "Very Spies" was decisively crossed.

This is good.

At least Martha doesn't have to worry that her client is a star-chasing girl, and God knows how many girls just see Keanu's name and can't wait to pounce in the next second.

So far, sixteen-year-old Miss Horton seems ambitious, calm and rational, and has the ability to think independently, and she really likes her more and more.

However, the truth is that despite Hollywood superstar Keanu. Reeves has played many movies called "John" in his acting career, but "Very Secret Service" (John. That Monique), is not a particularly prominent one, and his movie heroines are difficult to have a sense of existence, let alone a supporting actress who does not know the number of numbers.

Josie doesn't joke about her career.

At this time, Martha laughed: "Emma Modern Chapter? We thought together. "

This is a typical chick movie, a modern adaptation of Austin's masterpiece "Emma", the heroine is a rich girl in middle school, completely tailored to Josie's role.

It is also Martha's most optimistic character, because its casting range is most in line with Josie's actual situation -

Young, beautiful, but without fame and experience.
