Making movies in Hollywood is a dream for countless mainland actors.

It’s not that they are advocating for foreigners. The size of the movie-watching markets between the two sides is very different these days. The influence of Hollywood movies covers the whole world, which can indeed increase the influence of actors.

In addition, there are many celebrities who have achieved gold-plated status internationally, and their fame and income have skyrocketed. It is inevitable that other people will have their thoughts.

Actors from the UK, Australia, Canada and other places are often seen in Hollywood. It is not easy for mainland actors to get good and important roles. Since things are rare and expensive, it is naturally easier to attract attention.

Wu Ni never thought she would become an actor.

I never thought that I, who was neither a professional nor well-known, would be brought to Los Angeles, USA, to try to audition for a new film produced by Daju Film Company.

If the "Jinghua Media Company" that contacted her was not very powerful, had indeed been acquired by foreign capital, and was closely related to Hollywood, Wu Ni and her parents might even have thought they had encountered a scammer.

Some time ago, through the arrangement of Jinghua Media, a major mainland director personally contacted her and successfully dispelled her and her family's concerns.

After coming to Los Angeles with the attitude of giving it a try, Wu Ni was in a state of confusion for a long time.

She couldn't figure out why she arranged accommodation for herself and found someone to help her practice English and polish her acting skills, but she never told herself when she would audition or what role she would play.

Wu Ni had just arrived in Los Angeles half a month ago. Wu Ni still had a strong sense of novelty about this strange country and city. Now this feeling has quickly faded, leaving only the torture of waiting for notifications day after day.

It's not that the producers of "The Secret of the Dragon" deliberately bullied her.

Rather, the whole thing was directly arranged by Suri. Neither the producer, director nor the executives of Daju Film Company knew the cause and effect, and of course they would not interfere indiscriminately to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings.

This led to the fact that Wu Ni had been left alone for half a month.

There is only a director's assistant who knows nothing about anything, and is responsible for helping her handle some trivial matters in life, such as applying for visa extensions and arranging actor training courses.

tonight.

The female assistant named Elizabeth appeared again and urged:

"I can finally give you an accurate answer to the question you often ask me. Your audition time is now! Put on this evening dress quickly, thank God! You haven't taken off your makeup yet, and you are in pretty good condition. We are leaving soon. !”

Wu Ni was confused when she heard this.

Fortunately, her English level is very good, otherwise Elizabeth's assistant would speak so fast, it would be difficult to understand what is being said.

Looking at the evening gown and high heels in Elizabeth's hands, Wu Ni asked in surprise:

"Going to the interview now? Are you sure it's really an interview? It's almost 21 o'clock. Do Americans also work overtime that late?"

". If you have time to ask questions, why not try on this suit quickly? I will give you the answer on the way out. I can only say that the person interviewing you is an absolute big shot. His admirers can be queued from Seattle to I’ve been working in Miami, Florida for more than half a year and I’ve never seen him before!”

Assistant Elizabeth, who was obviously also a fan of Suri, looked particularly excited at this moment.

Because of Wu Ni, she finally had the opportunity to get up close to Suri tonight. For Elizabeth, this was enough to make her completely forget about the troubles of working overtime.

at first.

Wu Ni also thought about whether the "big shot" mentioned by Elizabeth's assistant might be the legendary Suri.

However, the sentence "I have been working for more than half a year and I have never seen him before" made Wu Ni decisively give up the idea. She thought that as an employee, how could she not have the chance to meet her boss.

The fact is that Suri really doesn't need to go to the company in person, and usually gets the work done through email.

Under the urging of Elizabeth's assistant, Wu Ni hurriedly changed into her evening dress. During this period, she glanced at the label and discovered that it was a Chanel dress.

After untying the ponytail, she briefly combed it into a middle parting style. After confirming that there was basically no problem, Assistant Elizabeth led her out.

More than twenty minutes later.

It was almost 10 pm, and the Legend Bar on the top floor was bustling with activity. A group of men and women were dancing on the dance floor, and there was a DJ on the stage to create the atmosphere.

When Wu Ni saw Su Rui, she was so nervous that she almost couldn't speak. Su Rui calmly motioned for her to sit down and deliberately said in English:

"You're quite beautiful, just like the photos on your resume. Relax, I've been waiting for you for a long time tonight. Fortunately, your temperament is similar to the character I imagined, so I didn't waste my time. "

If it were another man saying such things, Wu Ni might feel angry, but it wouldn't matter at all if the man in front of her was Su Rui.

Wu Ni sat down, forced a smile and said in English:

"Thank you for your compliment. It's such an honor to meet you. However, there is a question that has bothered me for a long time. Why was I selected for the interview?"

Su Rui was slightly drunk. After carefully looking at Wu Ni, she found that her temperament was not as refined as she had remembered. She lacked aura, and her makeup was not interesting.

Fortunately, these are easy to remedy. As for aura and the like, it can be easily cultivated once she becomes a first- or second-tier actress.

He shook his head and sighed:

"It's so difficult to find some mainland actresses who speak good English. A movie I'm planning will be released in the mainland and international markets at the same time, so there are language requirements. In fact, not only did I interview you, but I also met with Liu Qianqian On the one hand, she doesn’t seem to be very active, so maybe there is no shortage of acting opportunities.”

When Wu Ni saw that she was being compared with Liu Qianqian, she immediately became energetic and told with a smile:

"She is an A-list actress. Many companies want to hire her for filming, but I am still outside the 18th A-list and most lack the chance to act."

After saying this, Wu Ni wanted to slap herself in the mouth, thinking that she had exposed her shortcomings.

Suri didn't care at all, and continued:

"Let's find a makeup artist and a costume designer tomorrow to help you arrange a few looks. The crew has basically made arrangements and will be ready to start shooting at any time."

Wu Ni was slightly dumbfounded and asked, "That's it? I got this role? But I don't know anything about the script."

"I'm basically sure I can give it to you, unless you don't want to accept it. In the script, you are a Chinese-American with a strange poison that has been passed down for thousands of years. You and a pair of partners are looking for clues in the tomb. You can imagine it being similar to "The Ancient One" Tomb Raider movie series."

"A movie series?"

"Yes, I asked someone to help me customize the novel. I have already written the third one, but it has not been made public yet. The reward for writing a novel is 500,000 yuan. The author has been stimulated to have unlimited potential, and he is expected to write the third one soon. Four.”

Wu Ni is an actress that Suri knows. She just needs to see if she fits the image of the heroine in the script. Since she feels there is no big problem after meeting her, she doesn’t need to think too much (end of chapter)
