MTL - Best of Hollywood-Chapter 6 jessica

After having a simple lunch at noon, the two returned to the office on the third floor to let the actresses behind continue to audition.

The first person to come in was a red-haired girl who looked very young, around seventeen or eighteen years old at most.

"Hello."

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

Jessica Chastain!

Ryan raised his head thoughtfully, and seemed to look her up and down for a while. With red hair, pale skin, and the age in front of him, she looked very much like a Hollywood actress in her previous life.

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

"Yes."

Jessica Chastain looked a little disturbed. She was performing in a theater, but it was only a small community theater, and the performance was not very formal.

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

Ryan directly pointed out that this is a film with a small investment, and even the protagonist in the film will not receive any special treatment, and may even be unable to be released, and the video tape will be released directly offline.

In fact, Jessica-Chastain is not stupid, or she is very smart. She has long known that in front of her is a seemingly notorious newcomer director, coupled with a newly established brokerage company. A film, as you can imagine.

I have some doubts.

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

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

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

Regarding Ryan's somewhat abnormal behavior, Helen on the side was very calm. To her, as long as the heroine was a signed artist from Starry Sky Brokerage Company, everything else could be done according to Ryan's wishes.

Jessica Chastain took a deep breath, took the script carefully, and began to read it carefully.

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

But the Jessica Chastain in front of her is not among them. Although she is very young, her academic performance has always been among the best.

According to her life trajectory, in a few years, she not only passed the Juilliard School of Art School, but also won the scholarship established by Robin Williams, a proper top student.

Even now, she can still understand the script in her hand. It tells the story of three film students who went to a small town to investigate local legends about witches and planned to make it into a documentary, but they disappeared mysteriously shortly afterwards.

Simplicity cannot be found in a simple plot, the plot is a bit old-fashioned and tacky, there are no thrilling scenes, and there is really nothing exciting in it.

"Such a script?"

Jessica-Chastain shook her head secretly, she didn't have the desire to continue watching at all, and it even made her a little hard to praise.

"Very good script."

In the end, she managed to say a word of praise.

"If you are asked to play the role in the script, can you act in your true colors!"

Ryan smiled dumbly and asked indifferently.

Jessica Chastain was overjoyed, and immediately said: "I will definitely try to figure out the role with my heart, and show the best acting skills."

Acting!

Ryan shook his head at her, and said: "The heroine in the script is a college student majoring in film, so I need you to act in your usual state when you were in school, not an actor who came to perform."

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

He said very bluntly, as long as Jessica Chastain can show her usual school appearance in the filming, then the heroine is hers.

The reason why Ryan made such a rash decision was that Jessica Chastain's student status played a very important role.

What is more appropriate than a student to perform a student.

Most of the actors who auditioned before are working part-time, and have not been exposed to the campus atmosphere for a long time.

"I, I, I can totally do it."

Jessica Chastain was incoherent with excitement. When she thought about becoming the heroine in a movie, she felt that the things in front of her were a little unreal.

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

Although she often participated in various film and drama-related activities, and even acted as a backdrop, let alone the heroine, she had never acted in a small role with a few seconds of screen time.

Actors also need to accumulate qualifications. The heroine of a movie cannot be compared with the role of many secondary roles.

Otherwise, Hollywood's low-cost independent films will not make countless actors eager.

Of course, the film in front of me 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 that Jessica Chastain in front of him seemed to be still in school.

"I can ask the school for leave myself, there shouldn't be any problem."

Compared with the heroine in a film, it is obviously not difficult for Jessica Chastain to ask for leave from school.

If it is placed on the other side of the Pacific Ocean, if a high school student or junior high school student asks for leave to shoot a movie, countless people will come out to stop it.

But in the United States, it is not a problem at all.

Many private schools wished for a big star to appear in their own school, so as to take the opportunity to increase the school's exposure.

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

Even, if Helen didn't feel that it was too hasty, he could start the machine now and guarantee that the shooting would end as quickly as possible.

"As for the salary, Helen will talk to you later."

"By the way, the content of the script needs to be kept secret and cannot be disclosed to anyone."

Jessica Chastain suddenly felt that the script in her hand became heavy, and she was afraid that if it was accidentally leaked out, she would lose the opportunity to perform as the heroine.

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

Every day in Hollywood, there are a lot of actresses, in order to be able to become the heroine, pay their salary, or post themselves, only those famous big-name stars 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."

Jessica Chastain nodded vigorously, carefully put the script into the lady's bag, and then said goodbye.

Regarding Ryan's decision, Helen didn't say a word until Jessica Chastain left, she said: "You want to highlight the existence of the heroine in the film!"

Ryan said undeniably, "That's right."

"It doesn't matter whether the film itself mainly sets off the heroine or the other two male protagonists."

"However, I really don't see any potential in the actor you selected. It's better to bring out some heroines."

"Besides, when the film is released, both the media and the public who feel fooled need someone to vent to."

The distribution company of the film obviously won't be blamed. As an investor, director, and editor, Ryan will naturally not be blamed.

Then only a few leading actors in the film can be allowed to vent the anger of the media and movie fans.

This is the case with craftsmanship in the previous life, pushing out the director and main actors in the film to let the media and movie fans vent their anger.

He just crossed out the director column now.

"Although negative reputation is also a kind of fame, once the situation cannot be dealt with, then you will ruin their acting career and have to leave Hollywood sadly."

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

"There is no other way." Ryan shrugged his shoulders with a helpless expression.

"And what about Jessica Chastain!"

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

Helen showed a sneer, and said: "You are not afraid to wait for the movie to be released. Faced with the abuse of countless people, she will be the first to kill you!"

During the audition just now, Ryan didn't mention this matter at all. For a girl who was only seventeen years old to accept vicious abuse from the entire North American media and countless movie fans, she had to collapse.

He's just a total jerk.

"The momentary abuse will always pass. At worst, go on a trip for a while, and when she comes back from the trip, the media will have forgotten all about her."

Even if it is a superstar, it is impossible to be sought after by the media all the time.

With countless news happenings in Hollywood every day, she will be forgotten in no time.

"What's more, a young girl who doesn't hide her eighteen years old will always have some preferential treatment."

"For example, study hard and get admitted to a famous university with excellent grades. It is best to get a scholarship."

"I personally think that USC is a very good choice."

Ryan didn't care about Helen's ridicule at all, instead he said to himself.

"Very nice persona."

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

The entrance examination of the University of Southern California has always been strict, especially the interview, which is simply outrageous.

Coming from Jessica Chastain's family, getting into the University of Southern California is not an easy task.

Ryan said without changing his face: "The University of Southern California may indeed have a certain degree of difficulty for Jessica Chastain."

"But if she can have a recommendation letter from a famous USC alumni, I don't think the school will reject her."

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

Notable USC alumni!

"You mean yourself?"

"You still don't know the meaning of this sentence!" Helen's tone contained a hint of sarcasm, as if mocking his ignorance.

Wanting a famous alumnus of the University of Southern California, UU Kanshu www.uukanshu.com to write a recommendation letter to a girl who has been burdened with countless negative news, the difficulty of it is far more difficult than imagined.

Ryan returned a smile that he thought was very handsome, and said, "Ahem, I am naturally not a famous alumni."

"However, senior George himself is not only a famous alumnus of the University of Southern California, but also often returns to his alma mater to give free lectures."

George Lucas is a well-known alumnus who graduated from the University of Southern California, and George Lucas has always been generous in returning donations to his alma mater.

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

USC will never reject a student recommended by George Lucas.

"You don't have to worry about these."

Helen obviously just realized that George Lucas not only has extensive connections in Hollywood, but is also a famous USC alumnus who is keen to give back to his alma mater.

Ryan spread his hands and didn't say much.

He didn't believe that when "The Blair Witch" was released, even if it was only half of the box office in the previous life, it would reach tens of millions of dollars. Helen would probably think of a way to whitewash the three leading actors at the first time.

The North American box office of "The Blair Witch" reached 140.5 million U.S. dollars, and the global box office reached 249 million U.S. dollars.

Even if it is a few years in advance, the box office may have some deviations, and it is estimated that it will not be too low.

He didn't believe it, Helen wouldn't be in a hurry then.

Anyway, she is the boss of Xingkong Brokerage Company.

Ryan just wanted to find a well-known, popular, and cheap actress to be the heroine of his next film.

Otherwise, he would be too lazy to say anything.
