[American Entertainment] Dance out of my youth

Chapter 35 Sea View Room Freedom

The script is confidential, but the performance contract is not—in fact, the salary is also relatively confidential, but usually there is no need to sign another nondisclosure agreement, and it will always be leaked—so it’s okay to show her, he nodded immediately, " good."

"What's in it?"

"Working hours, work instructions, work remuneration, various benefits, compensation for breach of contract. Each specific contract is different."

"Is the salary the most important?"

He laughed, "Probably."

"How much will you get paid to play Peter Parker?"

"I don't know, it depends on how much the agent talks about."

"Excessive asking price, pay back the money on the spot?"

He laughed again, "Almost."

"Didn't it mean that some actors only get hundreds of thousands or 10,000+ for a movie?"

"It's true that a guest star or a supporting role can't get a high salary, but it's different for a starring role. Spider-man will definitely have a separate movie, and then I can get a six-figure or seven-figure salary." At this time, he Then he suddenly realized that when he talked about "money" in front of Grace, he couldn't be as calm as her.That's weird, what's the difference?

"Then you are a millionaire star!" Grace exclaimed.

"Not yet," said Tom hastily.

"What do you do with the money?"

He shrugged, "I haven't figured it out yet. Let's talk about it when I really earn seven figures."

"When I have money, I will buy a seaside villa, live in a room with an invincible sea view, and wake up from a 100-square-meter bed every day." She said solemnly.

He burst out laughing.

"What are you laughing at? You can do anything with money." She pinched the back of his hand with the tip of her nails, "Except for the trouble of getting out of bed and toilet, everything else is not a problem!"

He suppressed a smile, "Okay, no problem, let me ask which furniture company can make a 100 square meter big bed."

After the cast was announced, Tom Holland got busy.The film contract was quickly negotiated, and the agent took him to Los Angeles to sign the contract. A total of 6 film contracts were signed, including 3 guest appearances in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and 3 Spider-Man solo films by Sony Pictures.

After the contract was signed, I immediately went to Atlanta to start filming the scene of "Airport Smash" in "Captain America 3", also known as "Bad Gang Airport Date".

Grace stayed in Los Angeles and attended graduation before flying to Atlanta.

Tom's little friend Harrison is now his personal assistant, taking care of some chores for him on location shooting, including picking up Grace at the airport.

"Where's Tom?" Grace asked.

"He can't get away." Harrison opened the trunk and put the suitcase inside.

"He has to be in the studio all day?"

"Correct."

"What was the shooting scene like? Was it hard work?"

"Waiting most of the time."

Grace couldn't imagine, "I can't imagine what it would be like."

"You'll know when you meet." Harrison smiled.He has just arrived in the United States, has not yet changed his American driver's license, and is not used to the left-hand driving seat, so he drives very carefully.

Grace sat in the back seat of the car, looking down at her phone.Tom couldn't pick her up, but that didn't stop him from texting her, asking if she was here, if Harrison had her, if she was on her way, when she'd be there.Harrison would take her to the hotel first, and he booked her a room.

Their rooms were not on the same floor, and the film crew covered several floors of the hotel, and actors came in and out from time to time, and even the more famous actors were accompanied by bodyguards.

Harrison sent her upstairs to the door of the room, "Are you going to the studio later?"

"When does Tom get off work?"

"It's hard to say. There is a fixed number of shots to be taken every day. If you can't finish shooting, you have to finish shooting in the early morning, otherwise you will not be able to keep up with the shooting schedule."

Grace nodded, "Understood. This is not good, I like to work from [-] to [-]." She sighed: In fact, strictly speaking, it will be difficult for her to work from [-] to [-] in the future and get off work on time.

"I'll wait for you in the car." Harrison went downstairs.

Grace simply packed her luggage, took a combat bath, and changed her clothes.

Summer in the United States is hotter than London, but it’s not too hot. I changed into a T-shirt and jeans that are standard for American teenagers, put on a few beaded necklaces and a small whale bracelet, and looked at the mirror for a while, feeling very satisfied.

Youth is the best ornament, no amount of expensive jewelry can compare with invincible youth.She and Tom went shopping in the jewelry store before, and they agreed that gemstones that are too large are good-looking, but they feel that they are too exaggerated when worn on the body, so there is no need for them.

In fact, she had never seen what he looked like on location or in a studio, so she thought...it was very novel!Tom had a folding chair with his name on it, "Tom Holland" on the front, "spider-man" on the back, and he insisted on Grace sitting in his chair, then patted her on the back.

Although Grace disliked his childishness, she was still very happy in her heart.

The two hadn't seen each other for more than a week. Once they met, they just got tired of being together again. Harrison tried his best not to disturb them.Tom went to work, and Harrison explained some professional terms in the studio to Grace.

Grace is a layman and doesn't understand anything, but as long as she is briefly explained to her, she can understand it quickly.There are dozens of types of work in a filming group, from director to handyman, everyone has their own work.Actor is a profession that requires IQ and EQ. To be an excellent actor requires professionalism, and to become a famous actor also requires affinity, which is a strange "superpower".

Many actors need to do motion capture work in front of the green screen, including Iron Man, Black Panther, Ant-Man and Spider-Man, etc. Tom is wearing a special costume with a motion sensor ball, which looks very funny.

He is the youngest in the cast. He is cute, sweet-mouthed, and has a good temper. Everyone loves and pets him.

Oh, and one more important point, the lady in the make-up team changed his hairstyle, straightened his curly hair and combed it back, so that he looked like a sudden change.I have to say that the effect of this change is very obvious and very good. The curly-haired Tom is still a small-town boy, and the straight-haired Peter Parker is a healthy boy in New York.

Grace joked: "You change your hairstyle, it feels like I have a different boyfriend."

Tom couldn't help laughing, "Do you like it?"

"like."

"I also think it's pretty good! My hairdresser sister said that I am more suitable for straight hair, which will make me more handsome." He is too smug and proud.

"You are really handsome!"

"I'm sorry I can't be with you all the time."

"Oh, never mind, I just happened to see how you guys work."

"what do you think?"

"It's not bad, but it's still mostly boring. It's amazing to think that such a fragmented performance can be edited into a complete movie."

He pursed his lips and smiled, "It's amazing."

"I don't want to spoil the perception of the art of film. I won't be coming tomorrow. I can only stay in Atlanta for a few days and I'm going to Silicon Valley."

He pouted in dissatisfaction, but he also knew that it was really impossible for her to stay in the studio every day.I had to say: "Then go out and play by yourself, don't stay outside at night, go back to the hotel early - wait for me to come back. I can't say when I can come back every day. The profession of an actor is said to be an 8-hour work system, but in fact one day Shooting for 12 hours or even 16 hours is normal.”

"Well, it's okay, I know."

The car was parked in front of the hotel, it was already past 10 o'clock in the evening.It is said that it is normal to be able to finish work before 12 o'clock, and it is rare to finish work at 10 o'clock.Actors are hard, which Grace never knew.

Tom is very sleepy and has been yawning.She wasn't too sleepy, and after dinner, she took a nap in his trailer for over an hour.

"So sleepy." After entering the elevator, he took her arm and pressed his face against her shoulder.

"sleep earlier."

"To your room, or mine?" he whispered in her ear.

"You live alone? Not with Harrison?"

"Why would I live in the same room as him?" Tom was surprised.

- Makes sense!This is not going on a trip or something, two people live in a standard room.Hollywood never saves money on food and accommodation. Assistants also have their own separate rooms, so they don’t have to squeeze in a standard room with others. The leading actors and important supporting actors also have their own bodyguards. These are all written in the performance contract.

Grace thought of the tall and strong black bodyguard she saw in the afternoon. At that time, she still sighed in her heart that the kid Tom also had a bodyguard.

There are not only bodyguards, because most of his work requires hanging steel wires, the production company also insures him a huge amount of insurance, and there are special personnel in the studio to be responsible for security affairs, in short, he looks quite professional.

Tom at work is extraordinarily charming.

After taking a shower, the two lay on the bed and chatted.

"I find you charming when you're working. It's funny at times, but overall, it shows me your serious side."

He muttered, "What did you say? Don't I usually take things seriously?"

"Ha! That's not what I mean, you look like a 'man', not a 'boy', even though you're playing a 16-year-old high school student." She ran her fingers into his hair, washing After a haircut, his hair regained its small curls.

"You just haven't seen me for more than a week, I don't think I've changed so much!"

"There is an idiom in China that says, 'One day is like three autumns'. If you count it like this, I haven't seen you for more than 40 years."

He laughed out loud, "This sentence is really interesting. It means that if you don't see him for a day, you miss him very much? That's how you understand it, right?"

"almost."

"Have I really changed? Not just a haircut."

"Maybe it's because I've never seen you work."

"You have seen, "Jump Out of My World", remember?"

"That was many years ago, and I was just a little girl at that time." She giggled, hugged him tightly, and pressed her face against his chest, "So, you are really going to become a superstar."

He said a little annoyed, "Maybe."

"Have you seen the words scolding you on the Internet?" After the casting announcement, the fans of the retired Spider-Man Andrew Garfield immediately scolded Sony on some social networks for being blind and choosing an ugly monster. Playing Peter Parker, not to mention being inferior to Andrew, even a generation of Spiderman Tobey Maguire is inferior.

He reluctantly said, "I read some, and my manager told me not to go online or use social media recently." Then he remembered something, and looked at her worriedly, "Don't read those either."

Grace said dryly, "I've seen it."

How could he miss his girlfriend who insulted the new generation of Spider-Man against his fans?The easiest way to insult someone is to violently greet the other party's female relatives in the family, including female friends.

"I'm sorry." The child immediately comforted her, "It's my fault that you were scolded too."

"What does that have to do with you? But you really shouldn't mention that I went to Caltech on Instagram."

"Will it have any bad influence on you?" You must know that Internet users are very scary when searching for human flesh.

"I changed my phone number and already saved my new number on your phone. Also, after I go to Silicon Valley next week, I have an interview with a reporter from a tech magazine."
