Chapter 814 Changes
Life in the next few days was very unreal for Nelly, and the entire team and even some departments of the company revolved around her.

The coffee table in her living room was filled with scripts about love stories, at least twenty or thirty.

Each screenwriter came here to tell her what the content of her own story was and what effect she wanted to achieve.

She was sitting on the sofa, and the female assistant next to her, who was older than her, cleaned the dead skin on her hands and polished her nails.

The male assistant kept putting some things where they should be. It was winter, and he was sweating profusely from exhaustion, but he still bared his teeth and said that he was not tired.

The agent sat on the side with a straight face, discussing some of the next details with the screenwriter and the company's producer, as if discussing the best actress in this year's Federal Film Awards.

Everything is so unreal, everything in the past is like a wrong dream, or everything in the present is like a beautiful dream.

So unreal.

The female assistant let go of her hand and sat on the other side of her. She naturally raised her arm and gave her hand to the female assistant.

She took a look at the repaired hand, it was very beautiful.

Is this life?

In the end, at Nelly's own request, her salary was reduced to 8000 yuan, but Fox Films put 4 yuan into Nelly's account on the grounds of "improving the actors' skills before shooting".

The company said on the surface that she was asked to take some dance lessons and so on. The company paid the money, but it was actually an excuse to give her the money.

The agent clearly conveyed the company's opinion to her. She can only have a small number in the contract, but the money that should be given will not be less.

Confused, in a trance, Nelly has begun to get used to this kind of life.

The script was finalized quickly. Nelly chose a script that was pure love and even a little sadistic. Before choosing this script, the agent asked her some taboos, such as whether Lynch would allow her to film plots such as kissing scenes.

In fact, Lynch has no restrictions on this. He never relies on threats or warnings to control anyone, because smart people know how to choose.

If the choice is wrong, it means that it is an idiot, and an idiot should not stay with Lynch.

In the end, Nelly felt that it was better not to shoot such a script. In the script they chose, the hero and heroine have always been in a state of unrequited love for each other, and they didn't make it clear until the end.

Since there is going to be abuse in this drama, there must be a third party and a fourth party to intervene. It needs a supporting actor with a lot of roles and a supporting actress with a lot of roles.

As the heroine and core character of the film, Nelly also got the chance to become an "examiner" during casting.

After all, the entire production revolves around her, and her satisfaction is the most important thing. People in the company don't want to have conflicts with this inexplicably rising girl because they chose a supporting actress that she doesn't like.

At the beginning, Nelly thought it was very interesting. It is a very interesting process to reflect on her own performance while watching other people's unreal performances from another perspective, and it can also improve herself.

But looking at it, she felt a little bored, so she didn't make a sound, leaving the choice to professional directors and producers.

Just when her mind had started to wander, the sound of the door closing startled her.

She hurriedly lowered her head to sort out the materials in front of her, and turned a page. Her gaze, which should have been passing by, stopped for a moment on the photo of the girl on this page.

Immediately afterwards, she heard a familiar voice in the room, "Hi everyone, I'm here to audition for the supporting actress of the... project, and I was recommended by... my husband."

Nelly looked up at the girl in the room, and the girl saw Nelly.

The girl's expression suddenly showed some surprise, and she quickly controlled it, as if nothing happened, and performed a section according to the director's request.

As she left, she made a waiting gesture that she would wait for Nelly.

"Do you know her?" The producer immediately discovered the little secret between the two girls.

Nelly didn't deny it, "She used to be my roommate."

The producer nodded and didn't say anything, but it was obvious that he paid attention to this girl.

After trying all the girls for the day, Nelly left early, and the producers and directors were re-watching the casting tapes, continuing to narrow down the list from the list they already had, and looking for their ideal person.

Meanwhile, Nelly, who left the casting office, soon spotted her former roommate in the car outside the office.

She was driving a car worth 8000 yuan, and when she saw Nelly, she waved her hand.

"I know there's a cafe next door, where should I go?" The girl looked at Nelly, and after Nelly nodded, she breathed a sigh of relief.

The two didn't drive, and the cafe was not far away. They walked, so they would have more time.

The two of them thought that they would have a lot to say after this meeting, but when they got on the road, they found that they didn't know what to say.

After walking for a while, the girl smiled and said, "I almost forgot to congratulate you, you are the heroine of this film, right?"

Nelly nodded, "I'm lucky, how about you, how are you doing?"

The girl shrugged pretending to be cool, "What else can I do? It's almost the same as before. I look for the crew to audition everywhere. If I'm lucky, I can play a supporting role, but there are more unlucky ones."

There's a little twinkle in her eyes, she's not actually telling the truth, and now she's doing high-level calling while going around auditioning.

Because among the movies that can be found in the federal market, there are indeed movies that she participated in. Whether it is a supporting role or not, at least one "actor" identity cannot escape.

For those who have just become rich, or those who are not rich enough, actors, hosts, and announcers, these roles are full of great temptation.

The price given by each customer is very high. The girl can earn at least one or two thousand yuan every time she picks up a job.

She used the money from receiving guests to continue to realize her original dream of coming to Laltimore for herself, and the by-products generated in the process of realizing the dream can increase her social status.

Sometimes she doesn't know herself, whether she really wants to become a star after she works so hard to audition, or does she want to increase her social status so that she can sell more money?
Only today, when she saw her former roommate sitting in the audition jury, something touched her heart.

She has almost given up on her own ideals, and someone has realized her own future, which makes her very touched.

Suddenly, she felt that why couldn't she really pursue the purest and original dream in her heart?
I want to be an actor!
The most touching thing is always the current self and the previous self. Maybe the past self was stupid, but it will always be the most beautiful appearance in my mind.

The two walked into the cafe, sat down and ordered two cups of coffee.

They talked about funny things that happened when they shared the house, about the other girl, and they both seemed to avoid certain things, which also made for a pleasant conversation.

In the end, the girl pulled her hair around her ears, and she could tell she was a beautiful girl. She reached out and grabbed Nelly's hand, and said softly, "I want this role, can you help me?"

Nelly actually had this premonition a long time ago, and when the girl spoke, she breathed a sigh of relief for some reason, "I don't know if I can help you, you know, producers and directors are the ones who can really make decisions that person."

"It's okay, as long as you help me talk to them, I will be grateful to you if you can choose me in the end."

The girl looked at her sincerely, "I know that some things I did before will make you feel... But I want to say that the desire to pursue my dreams has never been extinguished in me!"

Maybe it was this sentence that moved her, maybe it was something else that touched her, and finally she nodded, "I will tell them, but I don't guarantee that it will work."

"Thank you, thank you..."

In the evening, after dismissing the two assistants, the manager looked at Nelly, which made Nelly feel a little stressed for no reason.

"What's wrong?" She looked down at herself, but she didn't find any problem with herself.

"I discussed it with the company and the production department in the afternoon, and we have a new idea."

"If we look at your first feature from a commercial perspective, it's going to be honestly not going to work very well."

"You don't have much fame, so it's hard for audiences to walk into the cinema spontaneously, and the audience for romance movies is not very big, so the box office may not be very good."

"We plan to change the way of filming, and use this movie to give you an award for the best newcomer of the year!"

It was also a corporate decision, they watched some of Nelly's old tapes, Nelly was no different than most of the girls who struggled in Laltimore, it's bullshit to say how shocking her performance was.

At most, it is above the passing line, and there is still a little distance from excellence.

Even if you find a big-name actor at this level, she won't be able to hold her back. Why don't you use this movie to train her well, hone her acting skills, and hit the trophy by the way.

As we all know, in all large-scale competitions, what can really determine who can win the first place is definitely not professional quality, but public relations and operations.

In addition, the director department and operation department of Fox Films also considered trying to get some awards to prepare for the listing, so they changed the shooting plan.

The script in Nelly's hands is not the only one, and the company will launch at least five films in the future, and will go all out to hit major awards.

Nelly was a little dazed and a little unconfident, "Do I really have a chance? I know my performance is not particularly good. I think it's too difficult."

The manager nodded, and she is still a good girl if she can recognize her shortcomings, "So we need your friend, the friend you had during the audition in the afternoon."

Nelly was a little puzzled, "Why do you need her?"

Originally, she planned to say a few good words for her ex-roommate, but now she has some inexplicable resistance.
