[US Entertainment] Popular all over the world

"Thank you, five minutes is enough." Josie smiled at him in a polite and well-designed arc, "And, no need for NG."

Very confident.

As soon as the voice fell, she took a step forward.

Just a seemingly inadvertent little action, this girl instantly became the focus of attention in the cafe.

Ernest steps back, leaving room for the actor's performance.

He noticed that her standing posture had adjusted, but the range of movement was not large, but the shoulder and neck lines were stretched out—did she learn ballet or something?

Regardless, it's beautiful.

Just like Ernest's script setting, although Iris came from a poor background, she has a good charm. She is beautiful, self-aware and good at using her. Therefore, how to perform the unique charm of such a beauty has become a difficult point in the audition.

So, that's not enough.

Ernest held the script in his left hand, clasped the edge of his chin with his right index finger, and said, "Let's begin."

His attitude was still cold, but his eyes had become focused.

Josie stretched out her hand, untied the rope, and let her hair hang down.

She fiddled with it lightly, as if in a convenient way.

These light golden hairs fell docilely on the girl's shoulders, with just the right gentle arc, and each strand seemed to reveal a sense of relaxation.

The whole process is like a commercial.

Josie said, "Hello, Agent, I'm Iris Bickle."

She held out her hand, her gaze was very sincere, her cornflower-colored blue eyes were slightly curved, clear and bright.

It's a beauty, and hardly aggressive.

Ernest did not cooperate with the handshake.

Because he was looking at the hands in front of him: there was no rhinestone nail art that ordinary girls like, it was full and smooth, well maintained, and even the fingertips had a faint healthy luster.

Afterwards, he raised his eyes to meet Josie's, and read out the lines of her opponent's actor: "Iris Bickle? I heard that the deceased had frequent contacts with you before."

"Are you trying to say that I have an improper relationship with the professor?" Josie's voice was gentle and gentle. "He is a good man, police officer. Maybe you don't believe it, but everyone respects him."

"Please answer the question directly, ma'am," Ernest emphasized.

Josie smiled slightly, her arc seemed to be perfect, her whole person was calm and confident, and she didn't have the slightest embarrassment or panic of being treated as a murder suspect.

This is a smile that has been practiced countless times in the mirror.

Her apple muscles were slightly exerted, and the muscles pulled the corners of her mouth upwards. There were only two refreshing small brackets around her lips, without any extra lines. Her sweet yet demure temperament made people feel relaxed.

She said, "No, that's the answer. And, proving that the victim's personal morality is bad is not the reason why the murderer can kill, is it?"

If a photo of Josie at this time can be taken, people will find that her smiling eyes and slightly pursed mouth are split into two different parts, and when the truth gradually emerges, the detectives will find out that she His strength and desire to control have been revealed since the first meeting.

Ernest was expressionless, flipping through the script quickly to find the content at the end.

His tone was flat and dry, without emotion: "It's you, Iris, it's you!"

——The director is contributing all his acting skills.

Josie, or Iris, smiled slowly.

There is still honey between her brows and eyes, but the smile never reaches the bottom of her eyes, and there is no panic or guilt of being exposed on her face, only disregard and provocation for life.

As if to say: Oh, I found it, idiot.

This condescending smile makes people instinctively feel alienated and arrogant.

Ernest stared intently at Josie's face, which was close at hand, with unprecedented concentration in his eyes.

The cafe was quiet for nearly ten seconds, and Ernest suddenly moved, and he habitually shouted: "Goodtake!"

Then he seemed to react, and added: "Very good, very good."

Ernest was amazed.

The girl's performance was so natural, almost like a true performance, he didn't know if she copied the Iris that he had constructed in his mind, or if Iris had a specific image because of her, but she was indeed amazing .

So, she had to play the role of Iris.

As for Jessica Goode, whose producer Lily White has been saying good things?

Who cares about a loser who relies on background and resource exchange and doesn't have enough talents to control?

Nobody even noticed that Jessica was still there.

"That's her, my heroine." Ernest said to Lily with certainty, and then he looked at Josie: "You have a beautiful skull at the collection level, it's so fascinating."

Lily's expression was suddenly awkward, and the other people present also had indescribable expressions. Only Martha was able to maintain her elegance, while Josie was surprised at first, and then laughed unexpectedly.

"Thank you," she said very sincerely. "I enjoy your compliments, Mr. Dawson."

Everyone was speechless for a moment.

On the one hand, the picture of high-quality handsome men and beautiful women staring at each other silently is a bit too seductive, and ordinary people say that they have no way to join in.

On the other hand, these two people have achieved a wonderful harmony and even been pleased by each other, which is simply dumbfounding.

Martha cleared her throat and reminded: "So, Miss White, can we talk about signing the contract?"

Relational households exist everywhere, whether it is a Hollywood film crew with an investment of tens of millions, or a small temporary crew of this kind, but obviously the young agent in front of him has not yet understood what is the first element of casting, and has tried several times Stealing the heroine's contract for Jessica Goode from her own school, and suppressing other audition candidates at all costs.

This is just a small person, but it also reflects the truest side of Hollywood.

Plus, no one can guarantee they won't be kicked out before the movie's official release, because no one is irreplaceable in Hollywood.

Martha is used to treating any project with the most professional attitude. Although this is just a small short film with negligible remuneration, it will be a good stepping stone.

as well as--

What I have to say is that Josie's performance greatly exceeded Martha's expectations. This close-up performance subverted Martha's previous perception of Josie. Her voice, posture, and eyes are all immersive performances. A veteran of many years, but also a very talented kind.

Martha didn't care why she could do it, she just felt a great surprise and an unprecedented challenge.

She is only 16 years old.

It's awesome, isn't it?

When Josie's custodian, John Triest, flew to Los Angeles, she signed an agency contract with CAA.

Josie became a client of CAA, and Martha Miller represented her in the acting business. There was no co-manager for the time being. The first contract was for one year, and the contract was renewed for a maximum of three years. A 10% commission was charged.

— in full compliance with California law.

Martha then helped her take time off from school to study scripts at home and wait to be filmed.

To be honest, Josie doesn't have any expectation or interest in her current high school life. The only thing that can support her to get her graduation certificate is that she habitually thinks that her high school career is not very pleasant.

Especially this school really has nothing to miss.

"The Perfect Victim" tells the story of a murder case: the Los Angeles police received a report that a university professor was killed. Detective Bentley went all the way to investigate and locked the murderer on Sean, the professor's student. After a battle of wits and courage, when Sean stood on the trial seat, Bentley discovered that Iris, a female college student who had been helping him all along, was the manipulator of everything...

"Not good!"

In an empty classroom at USC, Ernest yelled, frowning.

He turned his head and got angry at the lighting engineer of the crew: "The light is still not right. What I want is a top light, Iris's eyes must be hidden in the shadows; Bentley stands in this position, the side light must be Transparent and bright, the audience should be able to clearly see his facial features."

At the beginning of filming, some people questioned Ernest's faultfinding. After all, this is just a short film that will not be released, but his only advantage besides talent may be that he is strict with others and himself. With an extremely professional attitude and personal actions, he suppressed the other voices in the stills.

"And you, are you an idiot?" Ernest started a new round of bombardment, "I need you to advance the camera slowly and systematically, instead of looking like an old pervert in a mid-life crisis, hungrily Keep your eyes on her face!"

Ernest snatched the camera that the crew rented from the school.

The machine was very heavy, but he put it on his shoulder very skillfully, and issued instructions in his mouth: "Kinberg, you go a little more to the left; Stanley, give me more sidelight; Anderson, flower The pot is off by at least two inches!"

"No! No! No!"

"Lily White, I need to rent a Steadicam, stop complaining, I know we still have the budget!"

"GoGoGo! Do as I say!"

At this time, no one would pay attention to his overly dazzling appearance, and would only be impressed or disgusted by his meticulous details.

"I bet he's a Virgo." The leading actor of the crew, Markey Mark—another Mark, but most people like to call him "Marky"—turned his head to look at Josie in front of him, his face With a self-perfect smile on his face, "Speaking of which, maybe we can have dinner together tonight?"

Josie rolled her eyes in her heart, and only kept a basic social expression on her face: "Sorry, I have to go home and do my homework."

The boy in his twenties smiled and said, "Whenever you have time, I am always here." He moved closer again, "Josie, don't you know that the colder you are, the easier it is to arouse men?" desire to conquer?"

"Man? You are at best a little wolf dog." Josie smiled mercilessly, but sarcastically said, "Why didn't you go back to your master, or did he fail to find it for you?" A job offer? Oh sorry, would it be rude of me to ask that?"

She covered her mouth exaggeratedly, blinked her round eyes, and pretended to be innocent.

Markey's smile stagnated, and he squeezed out a sentence: "No, you are so cute."

Faced with Josie's face, it's hard to make people really angry. It's not that she is so amazing, but that she has a cute little round face with a lively smile, which makes people feel that Girls are naturally entitled to be willful and arrogant than others.

Beauty has privileges wherever she goes.

Especially for those who are obsessed with the blonde sweetheart, even if she is brainless and a little short-tempered, it will only be extra fun, and they can always spoil their dream girl like Gatsby.

In fact, it is not a secret in the crew that the leading actor has a backstage, and someone who can even clearly name that name is indeed a big Hollywood figure.

Before turning into an actor, Markie Mark was a tepid rapper, responsible for showing off his figure on stage. Of course, until a hot CK underwear commercial changed his career, Hollywood asked him Toss an olive branch.

The reason why he appeared in this crew was really because last year's first movie performed so badly that he was fighting for a street basketball movie that he didn't even want to let him audition, so he was sent to this small crew to exercise.

And so far, the short film is doing well, and it might get him that audition.

Markey added: "Hey girl, can't we have a truce? You can call me Mark or Markey, I really want to be friends with you, I think you are very talented."

Josie's answer was a smile back: "Thanks, I don't want to, and I know I'm not only talented, but also very attractive. But the problem is, I'm only 16, and you better remember that."

Markey laughed: "So? What's the point of being 16 years old, oh, you're such a naive little thing..."

The tyrant on the set, Ernest, obviously noticed the interlude between the leading actors, and said unceremoniously: "Markey Mark, don't heat up in my place, or I won't mind pulling out your fancy intestines and wrapping them around around your neck, and tie a knot."

"As for you—" Ernest looked at Josie, "You are beautiful, but just being beautiful is useless. The camera needs your care more, Miss Newcomer."

"Thank you for the compliment, Mr. Director." Josie smiled brightly.

When Ernest turned his head to attack the next target, she swaggered and made a face at his back.

Ernest seemed to sense something, and suddenly turned around.

He didn't make a sound, just gave a warning with his eyes, and then turned to continue talking to Lily.
