Start by trimming cow hooves

This past half a year.

Daddario's life has undergone earth-shaking changes.

Not only did she successfully become the heroine of a popular drama, but she also bought a mansion worth tens of millions of dollars in Beverly Hills, where land is at a premium, and she received a lot of advertising endorsements.

There is a Teen Choice Award in North America, and the actresses who win this award almost represent the aesthetic ceiling of the young generation in the United States.

At the recently released Teen Choice Awards, Daddario won the award for Best Drama TV Actress.

The title of "Hollywood's most beautiful bear" is not just a boast. His appearance is in line with European and American aesthetics.

Last year, many magazines sold out of stock in order to obtain photos of her on the Victoria's Secret catwalk, and poster sales have been very good.

This year's Best Male Singer award was won by Suri.

In the past half year, Suri has released more than a dozen new songs, each of which is considered a masterpiece and can only be said to be well-deserved.

As for Daddario's former roommate Blake Lively, life is basically the same as before.

I still live in the same apartment as before, but I have another roommate. Every time I meet a good role, I go to interview, hoping to become famous one day.

Occasionally when I think of Daddario, I inevitably envy her good luck.

This situation changed instantly after the casting director of "Gossip Girl" came to visit in person.

Blake Lively initially thought the director in front of him was a liar.

It wasn't until she heard that it was from Netflix Entertainment that she hurriedly opened the door. After all, she did know Daddario and had a relationship with Suri. If a suitable role happened to be available, it would be normal for her to think of herself.

Blake attended Suri's concert a few days ago.

However, the place was so densely packed with people that she had no chance to come into contact with Su Rui again. It was as if she was living in two worlds.

At this moment.

The casting director named James sat across from Blake, unscrewed the cap of the lemonade drink, took a sip, and told:

"First of all, I want to say sorry to you..."

Hearing this sentence often, Blake Lively's heart suddenly skipped a beat, and then he realized that he was not in an interview. He raised his hand to interrupt him and asked:

"If I remember correctly, I don't seem to have participated in an interview with your company. Did you come here just to apologize?"

"No, no, no, I mean, I'm sorry for informing you so late. The director wants you to be the heroine of a new drama. This is an oversight on my part. Suri told you about this a few days ago. , and my assistant didn’t find that damn note until today.”

"..."

Blake Lively was stunned.

She didn't even know what expression she should make for a moment. She digested it for several seconds before tentatively asking:

"Is your director the same Su Rui? Do you mean to directly hand over the heroine of a drama to me without an interview or anything else?!"

The casting director named James nodded immediately and told:

"Of course, this is Suri's arrangement. I also speculated whether it would be suitable until I actually saw you. You are young, elegant, and beautiful. You are completely qualified for this role."

Who says pie in the sky won’t fall.

The huge piece of cake hit Blake Lively on the head, making the girl laugh from ear to ear: "Wow! Thank you so much. What kind of drama is this? Will it be broadcast on TV or online?”

"The name is "Gossip Girl." It was conceived by our director himself. It describes the campus love story between Manhattan's upper class, socialites, and rich young men. You will know the details once you get the script. It is expected to get 4,000 With a production budget of 10,000 US dollars, you don’t have to worry about quality.”

The casting director originally thought that Blake and Suri had a very close relationship, but now that doesn't seem to be the case.

Even so, he didn't want to offend Black, so he followed the procedure in a disciplined manner and continued to ask:

"So, are you interested in this role? Filming may start early next month. Each episode will be paid $50,000. There should be a total of 20 episodes in the first season."

After Blake Lively heard this, the number "1 million" suddenly popped into his heart, and he was so happy that he almost jumped up.

After all, she was just a 22-year-old girl with no wealth. She was afraid that she would miss the opportunity accidentally, so she nodded immediately and said:

"I'm looking forward to cooperating with you! What should I do next? Contact my agent and sign a contract with you?"

The casting director said:

"Yes, but I suggest you find a reliable agent. The salary we have given is very sincere, and we are likely to book four seasons at once. The total salary may be 5 million to 6 million US dollars. , the salary of each season will increase accordingly, which can be regarded as supporting a group of potential newcomers."

It sounds like support, but in fact it's also about cost savings.

As long as these contracts are signed, at least for the next two or three dramas, there will be no need to worry about actors clamoring for salary increases, which can save the company a lot of money.

The reason why he dared to sign like this is because Suri is very confident in his drama.

For young actors who are not yet famous, such a contract is not only not exploitation, but also brings them huge benefits. It is not wrong to say that it is support.

For example, Blake Lively was so excited after hearing this that he almost fainted. It was similar to suddenly winning the lottery. He wanted to sign the contract immediately, called his parents to tell the good news, and cried that he was finally going to succeed.

The casting director felt sour.

In their line of work, I always have the urge to change jobs and become an actor. I have to work hard all day just to make ends meet.

And like Blake Lively in front of me, just because she is beautiful and has a sexy figure, she has the opportunity to easily earn money that others cannot earn in a lifetime of hard work. This can easily make people lose their mental balance...

We also made an appointment to negotiate and sign a contract at the Netflix Film and Television Studio the day after tomorrow.

After seeing off the casting director, Blake Lively sat on the sofa, holding a notebook and checking information related to "Gossip Girl". He found that the show was indeed available on Netflix Entertainment's official website and is expected to be released in early September.

After all the preparations were made, there were only forty or fifty days left to prepare. No wonder the casting director was anxious. The director had already flown to Manhattan, New York, to find a suitable shooting location.

It's different from "The Vampire Diaries" and "Prison Break."

Dramas like "Gossip Girl" can find many opportunities for product placement, from clothing to shoes, women's bags, cosmetics, luxury cars, etc. With the current momentum of Netflix Entertainment, it has been able to negotiate cooperation with many big names .

For example, for some daily wear shots, YOYO brand clothes must be used.

As for luxury homes, private jets, luxury watches, jewelry, etc., Suri can provide them himself. If not, he can borrow them from acquaintances...
