Pass the Santa Monica Mountain Highway and enter Daenerys Cinema from the northern entrance, and arrive at the parking lot of the third-floor administrative area of ​​the Cinema. It is less than nine o'clock in the morning. The parking lot that is enough to accommodate hundreds of cars is already dense, and people are coming and going around, full of vitality and intense vitality.

Amy asked Jessica, who was in the co-pilot, to get off the car and search for a while before finding an empty space in a corner of the parking lot, and drove over quickly.

After parking the car, the two women walked side by side to the office building. Amy looked around and said with some inexplicable pride because she had just participated in a blockbuster film for Daenerys Entertainment: "There are so many people. Compared with the set of Paramount and Fox, it is like a nursing home."

"I feel so, too."

Jessica said, and happened to pass an intersection. Seeing a tall black girl wearing sunglasses passing by them in the wrong direction and heading towards another office building, she suddenly felt under a lot of pressure. Her appearance was her biggest weakness, even Amy was not as good as her. Her agent suggested that she have plastic surgery during this period.

It’s not that I’m unwilling to do so, but mainly because I don’t have money.

Amy was much calmer than Jessica, and turned her head and chased her over: "I think I've seen that one just now. Is it a model, right?"

"Shalom Harrow, the latest movie "Ins and Outs" was released, and she played Matt Dillon's girlfriend," Jessica posted a name, but she couldn't help but add: "It must be the kind of people who are not developing well, otherwise she should attend Fashion Week in Europe."

Amy felt the sourness in Jessica's tone and smiled and said, "Maybe I'm here to audition for some important role."

Jessica subconsciously said, "She is not the type Simon likes."

Amy asked with a smile: "What type does Simon like?"

Jessica was stuck a little, then gave Amy a blank look.

However, think about the girl who was cool and charming just now, her skin was the fair style that has been popular in recent years, and she did not have the rumored sausage mouth. Her face may not be pretty, but she is definitely not ugly, not to mention that she has such a good figure.

Alas, people compare themselves with others, they are so angry.

Amy looked slanted with Jessica's expression and continued to finish it: "And maybe Simon will change his taste occasionally."

Jessica glared over and noticed the smile on the corner of Amy's mouth. She quickly stretched out her hand to wrap her arm, and scratched Amy's waist with her other hand.

Amy's arm was restrained and she couldn't escape. She didn't dare to pull too much with Jessica on such an occasion, so she could only beg for mercy with a tense face.

The two women said as they had already arrived at the entrance of a cafe on the ground floor of the administrative district employee restaurant.

When the two female assistants Lina Kane, who were standing at the door waiting, saw them appear, stepped forward in a few steps and started scolding: "What happened just now? Be careful, this is not your apartment."

Amy broke away from Jessica's claws and stepped forward to embrace the arm of the short round-faced girl affectionately, but she tried to revolt: "Lina, I am a big star now, and I am your boss, you should respect me."

Lena Kane rolled her eyes and entered the cafe with Amy, while saying, "I'm just about to say, you should raise my salary."

Amy was immediately discouraged: "Okay, let's change the topic."

Jessica seized the opportunity: "Don't, I'm waiting for the follow-up."

She is not forgiving her words, but in fact, the intimate relationship between the three women is obvious. In recent months, although they are newcomers who have also been assigned from the WMA, Lina has tried her best to handle them in all aspects, and she is very professional, and she is familiar with negotiations, public relations, schedule coordination, etc.

Both women are not stupid. If such an assistant can cooperate for a long time, it will definitely help them a lot in their careers. Therefore, the two of them don’t say anything on the surface, and they have an unknowingly tend to compete for people. After all, as their status increases, they will definitely not be suitable to share an assistant next time.

Moreover, Lina is obviously a person with her own opinions. If Amy really acts like a boss, she may be fired in reverse.

Everyone entered the cafe and ordered the coffee. Lina took out a few pages of the script and handed it over: "Jason has to deal with some things temporarily and will arrive in half an hour. This is the audition script for "Celebrity" and get familiar with it as soon as possible. The official audition starts at 10 o'clock. In addition, for bad news, Jesse, the heroine of "Elizabeth" has been scheduled, and the audition in the afternoon will be cancelled."

"Elizabeth" is the latest project of the former tentative film team under Gaomen Pictures that specializes in producing British films, telling the legendary story of Queen Elizabeth I of the UK.

He has produced popular films such as "Four Weddings and One Funeral", "BJ Single Diary", "Six Heroes of Light Pigs". Every project of the British team under Gaomen Pictures has attracted much attention from Hollywood. The two female agents Jason Buster tried to win an audition for them. He thought that Amy, the heroine of "The Legend of Ghost", would be more likely to be paid attention, but Jessica Chastain was shortlisted.

Amy's image is too far from Elizabeth I.

For this audition, Jessica has been running around recently to promote the "Ghost Record" and has also rushed to train British accents every day, but she did not expect the audition to be cancelled suddenly.

The hand holding the script in his hand subconsciously tightened. Jessica looked disappointed and asked, "What's going on?"

"It's an actress from Australia named Cate Blanchett," Lena said, leaning over and lowering her voice: "Jason called and asked, Simon himself decided."

Jessica didn't know what to say for a moment, but Amy tried to suppress the little gloating in her heart, but she couldn't help but ask in a low voice: "Is that Kate very beautiful?"

Lina took out a photo from her shoulder bag like a magic trick and handed it to Amy two.

The two women looked over together, and Amy subconsciously said, "The nose is a bit big, isn't Simon's type that he likes?"

"If Simon only chose the beautiful girl he likes as the heroine, you shouldn't be here now, and he wouldn't be able to achieve what he is now." Lina said, explaining: "Kate graduated from the National Academy of Drama in Sydney. He has been in a drama for five years and was nominated for the Australian Green House Award for the heroine of "Hamlet". Simon has no problem with her."

The two girls didn't know about the Green House Award, but they just thought it was probably similar to the Tony Award in the United States. Jessica, who just played a supporting role, was really incomparable.

Lina took back the photo and said, "Okay, look at your scripts, because they are all small characters, there is a high possibility that you will win this "Celebrity" together."

Jessica looked at the script in her hand in silence.

Amy was also a little disgusted in the gossip: "Lena, this, Woody Allen, that, a few years ago..."

Lena interrupted her: "Realistic, Amy, if that happens again in the future, you will be able to draw a clear line. Now, participating in Woody Allen's movies, even if it's just showing off, is gilded for actresses. If you have mental cleanliness, the advice I can give you is to return to your Colorado, find a honest farmer as a husband, go to church every week, have eight children, and try to cultivate them all into devout Puritans."

Amy stuck out her tongue, not daring to say more, and even said compliment: "Lina, I didn't expect you to be so talented, and I had conceived a script in ten seconds."

"Do you want to act?" Lina rolled her eyes and then said, "Also, since the audition for "Elizabeth" in the afternoon was cancelled, I have made an appointment for you to see the house. The apartment in Santa Monica can no longer be lived in, and you also need to separate."

The small apartment in the mountains of Santa Monica was rented by two girls to make it convenient for the filming of "Ghost Records". It has no privacy at all. Now both girls are somewhat famous and their safety cannot be guaranteed. It is inevitable to change their residences.

However, after listening to it, Amy sang a counter-tune with her assistant: "Lina, Jesse and I are both poor now, living together can save some."

"And soon there will be gossip tabloids saying you're lace."

"How could this happen? So many men and women in Los Angeles share a house, are they all homosexual?"

"The question has never been whether you are homosexual, the key is whether others will think you are homosexual. If you are just unknown people, it is certainly no problem to live together. It is different now unless you don't mind your career."

Amy could only nod: "Okay."

Lina picked up her coffee and took a sip, urging: "Okay, hurry up and read the script carefully. It is said that Simon has also paid attention to this project himself, and it should become a peak for Woody in recent years."

Amy was curious again: "Simon has paid attention to it myself, how did you know?"

Jessica was also curious to see.

"I have my own source," Lina showed her connection potential slightly, and then said: "Woody initially wanted to make the project into a black and white film, paying tribute to Fellini's "Sweet Life". Ella of the high-sect has agreed and sent it to Simon was rejected. Simon had talked to Woody in person some time ago in New York. He liked this story very much, but did not agree to make a black and white film. It must be colorful and rich in color. It is probably Simon's original words, a retro ornament similar to the golden age of Hollywood."

Jessica asked, "Woody compromised?"

"certainly."

"Although..." Amy raised her hand and gestured a little, and said, "But, it's not difficult to find other investors for a big director like Woody?"

"No matter how big the director is, he is just a director. Moreover, after that incident, Gaomen Pictures extended a helping hand and Woody was able to make a comeback. The recent films have also worked with Gaomen. What do you think Woody should choose?" Lina said this, without waiting for the two women to answer, and then said: "So, because Simon is very optimistic about this project, even if she can't get the role in her hand, then you'd better be a passerby and show her face. There are many large groups of scenes in the complete script."

When the two women heard Lina talk about these inside stories related to a big figure, they were all interested in even if they were not private gossip and wanted to talk more. Unfortunately, the female assistant quickly shut up and signaled the script in the hands of the two women.

Amy and the other two had to put aside their thoughts and began to brew a few thin pages of scripts in their hands.

After half an hour, a thin, middle-aged man in his 40s arrived in a hurry. It was Jason Buster, the agent of the two women.

As soon as he sat down, the tired agent said to the two women in a tone of emotion: "Amy, Jesse, you must pay attention to your relationship in the future. First find out the age of the boy." As he said that, he burst out an American swear word, and then he continued to talk to the two women or talk to himself: "Since Michael's incident, the little things now have found a way out of money, one is more cruel than the other."

This obviously has a story.

The two women looked up and waited together, but unfortunately the agent had already braked, took the coffee sent by the waiter, took a few sips, and returned to normal. As if those words were not what he said just now, they turned to other things: "Let me tell you a good news that you must have known at the first time. I just received a call on the way to "Ghost Records" will have a bonus, Amy is $300,000, Jesse, you also have $100,000, but you all need to sign a clear sequel contract, and Jesse is sure to be the heroine of the sequel. Oh, by the way, the matters of the Actors Union have also been settled. This agreement, you will be guaranteed by the trade union's basic agreement."

Next to Jason Buster, Lina, who was originally sipping with coffee, heard a sentence in the agent's words, and her movements were obviously paused.

During this period, Jessica Chastain has been following the promotion as a supporting role, and everyone speculated that she might take the lead in the sequel.

Now, it is indeed the case.

Amy and Jessica's first reaction was surprise, but when they heard the conditions attached, Jessica calmed down: "Jason, when he was running for promotion a few days ago, Danny Morris talked to us and advised us not to shoot pseudo-documentary films?"

"I won't let your next movie take on the messy follower pseudo-documentary films in Hollywood, which will make you stereotype. Of course, "The Ghost Record" is different."

Amy goes straight to the point: "Jason, if we sign the sequel, how much money can we get?"

The agent looked at Amy: "Your role has ended, and the subsequent role will probably only be a guest appearance as a background and get a symbolic basic salary. Jesse's side, as the heroine of the sequel, will probably have a salary of about 300,000."

Amy was disappointed and couldn't help but feel sorry for Jessica: "The Ghost Record is so popular now. Can Jessie be the heroine of the sequel to get 300,000?"

"You have to understand that this movie is very popular, not just you actors. Moreover, the entire series will be due to the theme, even if the first one is sold for $500 million worldwide, the sequel may only be low-cost and it is impossible to give you too much money."

Amy blurted out: "Then we won't act."

Jason looked helplessly at Amy who was obviously regretful after he finished speaking: "If you don't act, first of all, you won't get the reward this time. Secondly, you will be sued because the terms included a sequel agreement. In addition, not only Daenerys, you should not expect to get opportunities from other studios. To sum up, you can just withdraw from Hollywood directly."

Amy fell silent.

Even though he only received a $8,000 salary from this project, the actor agreement did include the sequel terms, but there were no details. Obviously, this time Daenerys wanted to use a bonus as an incentive and clarify the details.

If they disagree, the ending will basically be as judged by the agent.

Seeing Amy calm down, Jason Buster looked at Jessica who had obviously no objection, and then continued: "Amy, Jessie, from now on, I hope you will regard "Ghost Records" as a past tense. You can only sign the next agreement, and there is no other choice. However, after signing, Daenerys Entertainment will definitely give you more resources in other aspects in order to ensure the sequel. What you have to do is to get rid of the label of cheap pseudo-documentary stars that may be stereotyped as soon as possible. Do you understand?"

The two women didn't hesitate too much this time and both nodded quickly.

Jason Buster also nodded slightly with satisfaction. Fortunately, it was not Dumb Blonde who was so simple that he could not save him, so he talked about another thing: "Also, tonight, Michael Jordan, chairman of Westinghouse Electric, held a cocktail party in Belaire and invited the crew of "Ghost Records". You can participate, which is very helpful for your connections."

Before Jessica could express her words, Amy had already blurted out with a puzzled look: "Michael Jordan?"

Jason Buster smiled, "The same name and surname are a fat white man of sixty years old."

Amy said oh, then subconsciously said, "We don't know each other, why should we go to his cocktail party?"

“…”

“…”

“…”

Seeing that the three people around him were speechless, Amy realized that she had said stupid things and hurriedly said, "Okay, I'll go."
