Hollywood superstars: Start as a child star

Gift giving! Find a way to go

At night, lying in bed.

Claire looked at the influence map on the virtual panel in front of her. Compared with three years ago, when it was first opened, it was just a light spot in downtown San Francisco. Nowadays, most of downtown San Francisco is lit up, but in varying degrees.

For example, Chinatown is the brightest. There are also some towns on the west coast that are lit up, dotted with stars but not large-scale. As for the vast inland and east coast, Clare is beyond reach, still in darkness and in urgent need of development.

“The efficiency of shooting commercials is still not very high!” Claire rubbed her cheek.

“I don’t know what the reward criteria for lighting up this map are, and when you can get it.”

Advertising is indeed a weak way to increase personal influence. After all, the main purpose of an advertisement is to promote products and services, and Not Claire as a tool person.

After seeing the advertisement, people will only remember the content and features of the product. As for Claire, who was giggling next to her, well, she didn’t want to learn more about it afterwards.

“Well, it seems that I have to open up new channels to promote myself! This type of advertising alone will have to wait until the Year of the Monkey!” Claire clenched her fists in bed and made up her mind, “I have to take the initiative, I can’t No more passive waiting!”

13-year-old Claire is already a junior high school boy.

During this period, I was also constantly looking for opportunities to film TV series. Well, it was a TV series, not a movie.

As we all know, in the United States, film actors and TV drama actors exist in two different classes.

Movie actors are so popular that blue-blood luxury brands such as Amani, Louis Vuitton, and CHANEL favor them. At various film festivals, they are covered in luxury goods from top to bottom. In the 1990s, luxury brand PRs still had their own reservations and pride. Apart from supermodel displays, they rarely chose spokespersons. After all, they felt that the style of most celebrities could not match their own brands.

Legendary Hollywood movie stars are an exception. They are extremely beautiful and can also be picky and selective about the major brands that come to their doorsteps. This is a privilege that TV drama actors cannot imagine.

TV drama actors are another low-level existence. In the industrial assembly line TV drama industry, screenwriters are the most important talkers. In their writing, you can die immediately in a certain episode, or you can rise from the ashes like a phoenix, and the arranged plot will help you reach the top.

Directors can be changed, actors can also be changed, they are all in the middle of the food chain of this TV drama industry assembly line.

And all of this is still beyond the reach of Claire. Although he is already a famous advertising actor, it is still not enough, far from enough.

Over the weekend, Claire went to an acquaintance, Steve, an advertising director. He worked with Claire for the first time on a Fisher-Price toy commercial, and later worked together twice more, forming a better personal relationship. Friendship is also a rare friendship.

Arriving outside Steve’s studio on Franklin Street, Claire planned to ring the doorbell, but hesitated and went to the nearby Bordeaux wine store to buy a bottle of Bordeaux Chateau Reserve red wine that was said to be ten years old.

Carrying this expensive red wine, Claire straightened the shirt that was stretched out on the road and rang the doorbell…

"Hey, look who this is? " Steve laughed as he opened the door, grabbed Claire’s shoulders, and entered the room.

“Uh, Steve~ I haven’t come to play with you for a long time!” Claire, who was begging for help for the first time, scratched her head uncomfortably. “This is the red wine I bought. Please drink it!” As he said this, he put the red wine in his hands. Put it on the coffee table.

A teasing look suddenly appeared on Steve’s bearded face. Looking at the familiar red wine packaging on the table, he couldn’t help but smile: “Haha, the owner of this wine shop must have told you that this wine originated from a Bordeaux winery in France. Twenty Years Reserve Wine Bar!”

Claire was shocked and suddenly felt her cheeks getting a little hot. “Well, Steve, you also know~ Well, this is not twenty years, it is ten years…that…twenty years is too expensive, I am not willing to buy it…”

” Hahahaha~” Steve laughed so hard that his beard twitched, “Little Claire, you are so funny. This wine shop is next door, of course I know all about it. This grape is actually produced in the nearby city of Reno, and the vintage is only three years old. Five years… Hahahaha, you bought this temporarily, right~”

“Uh… uh…” Claire was so embarrassed that she couldn’t speak, Damn, The first time I gave a gift, it failed miserably. It was over!

Steve laughed for a while before he stopped, took a sip of ice lemonade, and moistened his throat. Then he looked at Claire who was sitting awkwardly on the sofa and said loudly: “Tell me, Claire, you little brat. The purpose of bringing expensive gifts to the door today must not be simple. Hey, tell me, see if I can help you. ~”

Claire looked up at Steve, behind the thick beard, there was deep concern. Claire paused for a while, organized her words, and asked sincerely: “Steve, you know. I have been filming commercials. But this is not a long-term thing. I want to go further and challenge more projects. Get more grades!”

Steve looked at Claire encouragingly, encouraging him to continue talking. Claire drank a large glass of ice water, cleared her throat, and continued: “For example, filming a TV series! I want to find an opportunity to film a TV series! I don’t know if you have any opportunities…” &#

34 ;Well, Claire, I understand. " Steve looked at Claire for a while and suddenly said: “Come on, stand up!” Spin around slowly! "

Claire was stunned for such a sudden request, then stood up and turned around slowly.

Steve’s expression dimmed, and he said rather solemnly: “You know, Claire. Filming TV series and shooting commercials are completely different things. TV series require acting skills and talent, and during the process of shooting commercials, you can’t It’s a good way to tell whether a person is talented or not. I can’t recommend you to the TV series crew so blindly, after all, I don’t know if you are qualified for this job.”

Claire’s face fell. Seeing that his words were a bit too serious, Steve quickly said: “Of course, little Claire, although I can’t guarantee that you will get into a certain crew, with my decades of experience in the industry, I can help you find an interview opportunity. It’s still not a problem!” He said, patting his big belly, feeling quite proud.

“Moreover, little Claire, we all see your seriousness and dedication. I believe any director would like your excellent qualities!” He said, gesturing with his thumbs.

Claire quickly said: “Of course, Steve. Thank you for your willingness to help and giving me the opportunity to interview the crew! This is the best thing for me! As for whether I can win the role, it depends on me. Fight for it!”

Steve nodded, walked around Claire, and then said leisurely: “But, Claire, there is still a problem. With your size… you still need to lose weight.”
