Chapter Eleven You must act well!
Chapter 11 You must act well! (")
"Sweetheart" Cafe's bathroom, Jessica looked at herself in the mirror, took a deep breath, and exhaled again. She patted her face with both hands, her palms were cold.
She didn't know why she got so angry just now. At that moment, she was just anxious and bored, and then she couldn't control herself... Why? She knew it was definitely not because of Mark Longst's joke, it was just the fuse, maybe it was because she was isolated unintentionally, maybe it was because Young did not let her play the heroine, maybe it was because Rachel that made her feel inferior...
With a bang, the bathroom door was opened and Rachel walked in. She walked to Jessica with a kind smile on her face and asked, "Jessica, are you okay?"
Jessica smiled reluctantly at Rachel in the mirror and said, "Thank you, I'm fine. I'm so sorry, I was so rude just now." She wiped her long hair in her ears and looked very upset: "I don't know what's wrong, but suddenly she turned into a madman."
"It's okay, Jessica, don't care, everyone cares about you very much." Rachel comforted her and then asked, "Is it because of the heroine of the movie?"
Jessica shook her head: "Oh, I don't know, maybe she's feeling a little uncomfortable." Her childhood experience made Jessica very alert to strangers and remained wary of new friends. She and Rachel had only known each other for less than two hours, so she naturally wouldn't say what she said in her heart.
Rachel smiled slightly. She knew how to deal with this situation because she had many friends in Toronto, and she would talk to her about any unhappy things. She was a good listener, and she had seen many situations like Jessica, which clearly showed something unhappy and was hidden in her heart.
Just let them say it. But Rachel knew that if you don’t go and say it first, they wouldn’t say it, so she said, “Sorry, Yang Guang and I were talking about the movie just now…”
"No, no, it's not your fault." Jessica interrupted her, but when she remembered that Rachel and Wang Yang had been fascinated by the movie talks, and she was like a fool on the side, Jessica felt tight again and sighed: "That's just my own reason. Maybe, maybe I shouldn't come today."
"I know that must be very uncomfortable. I have tried it a lot. Sometimes my friends are discussing a topic, but I can't interrupt at all. I feel like I'm isolated." Rachel said with a self-deprecating tone, then shrugged and smiled, her cheerful voice was very contagious: "But I know they didn't mean it. Only when they feel that they have a good relationship with you can do that, without deliberately taking care of your emotions."
I have to say that Rachel's words were very appropriate, and Jessica's face was much better.
"And it can be seen that Young loves and is very persistent in movies. I have seen many people like him in college. They are crazy people." Rachel rolled her eyes, then made a "papapapapapapapapa" sound on her lips, and then said with a smile: "Wow, when they talk about movies, they can talk to you for a few days and nights in a row, without stopping for a minute."
Rachel smiled and said, "They are those people, and the cells are full of movies."
"Yes, I know." Jessica finally smiled again on her face, and she smiled with pride, saying, "Yang is definitely the one who is the most persistent. When he was very young, he set the goal of becoming a big director and has been pursuing it. In fact, among the friends I know, he is the most fanatical about movies, and he has never changed at all."
Seeing that she finally spoke on her own initiative, Rachel knew that this was the opportunity to open up the topic, so she asked curiously: "When I was very young? So, did you know Yang since you were a child?"
"No, I didn't know each other since I was a child," Jessica thought for a while and explained, "Well, I transferred to Young's school at that time, and then we became good friends. But it was just a short period of time, and then I moved to Los Angeles."
Jessica turned around and leaned her hands on the hand washing plate, smiling happily, "Until recently, we actually met again. But everyone has grown up." She looked at Rachel with a little guilty conscience. She deliberately used the word "recent" without making it clear that she and Wang Yang had only met again for less than a week.
"Wow, it sounds quite romantic." Rachel smiled.
"Maybe." Jessica shrugged, pretending to be careless, "Los Angeles are sometimes quite small."
"Yang helped me a lot when he was a child, and I have always been grateful to him. But now he is in trouble, but I can't help him. I hate this." Jessica's mood suddenly became depressed again, and she said, "Maybe I'm just angry with this."
Rachel took the conversation in confusion: "Difficult?"
"Well, it's difficult. But I can't tell you these things. If you want to know, you can ask Young." Jessica shook her head and said, "Anyway, I feel very guilty. I can't help with anything and I'm useless."
She laughed self-deprecatingly and said, "Now everyone will say 'Wow you are so beautiful' when they see me! But what's the use of being beautiful? There are too many beautiful girls. I have failed auditions for more than a dozen times in a row. They all say I can't do it. Sometimes I wonder, am I so bad? The performances I got before are just good luck? Now that I have used up all my good luck, I will become my true self."
Rachel comforted her and said, "Jessica, don't think so. Life is always like this, with peaks and lows, right? Since God has arranged this way, he will naturally have his will. We need to calm down and listen."
"Well, Rachel, you're right." Jessica nodded with some insight. Maybe this is God's test for her! She smiled at Rachel and said, "Thank you, I feel much better now." Rachel also smiled and said, "Nothing."
Looking at Rachel, Jessica's expression suddenly became serious again and said, "Rachchelle, there is something I want to ask you."
"What? You said." Rachel said.
Jessica looked into Rachel's eyes and said seriously: "You must promise me to work hard on Young's movie! This movie is very, very, very important to Young! He told me that this ten thousand dollars is his all, and he cannot fail! He must not fail!" She held Rachel's hands and begged in a tone: "So you must act well, okay?"
Rachel nodded solemnly and said, "I can do it. Jessica, don't worry, even if you don't ask me, I can do it." She is a professional actor, who also loves movies, and she never deals with things casually.
"That's good." Jessica smiled happily and said, "Let's go out."
The two girls left the bathroom and returned to the cafe outside. They saw that the table where Wang Yang was located was crowded with people in the distance, so they naturally came to interview. The female interviewer received the news that the heroine had already decided on the candidate, and they quickly left with regret. The male interviewer, except for those who were not qualified in size, would perform one or two live performances according to Wang Yang's words.
"Hi, Jessica!" Wang Yang stood up and shouted, asking with concern: "Are you okay?"
Jessica smiled and shook her head. She said, "It's just that she feels a little uncomfortable." Although she felt much better after talking to Rachel, she still couldn't clarify her mood for a while and was watched by many male interviewers. She didn't want to stay here anymore, so she said, "Yang, I'll leave first, I can't help here."
"Oh! Then go back and have a good rest, be careful on the road!" Wang Yang was too busy and could only speak to her in a hurry, then turned his attention to the interviewer who was performing. The number of actors who came to the interview in the afternoon suddenly increased sharply. If it weren't for just choosing the male lead now, Sweetheart Cafe would have been squeezed out of reach.
Jessica took back the bag placed on the chair, said "bye" to everyone, and gave Rachel a smile. She looked at Wang Yang, who was seriously inspecting the interviewer, and then turned around and left.
"Sorry, you don't meet my requirements... Next." After Wang Yang finished speaking, he didn't go to see the interviewer who had left regretfully, and seemed to remember something. He looked left and right and found Rachel who was sitting at a table next to him, and hurriedly called her: "Hi, Rachel, if you want to leave, remember to tell me, we haven't exchanged contact numbers yet. I can't let you run away."
"Okay!" Rachel on the other side smiled and raised her coffee cup, took a sip, and said, "Don't worry, I have nothing to do in the afternoon, so just stay here to see who will be the protagonist."
Many people whistled in the queue of male interviewers. Looking at the elegant and beautiful Rachel, they were all excited. If they could become the male lead in the movie, they could get to know her well!
But all the people in this team finally left, and no one could stay. Throughout the afternoon, people coming to participate in the interview continued to come, not including girls who left as soon as they arrived. Wang Yang had at least interviewed more than 300 men, but still gained nothing.
In fact, Wang Yang's requirements for the male protagonist are not very high, at least it is much lower than that of the female protagonist. Because the male protagonist in "The Legend of the Skills" is not very popular, he is a hand-held DVD in the story, so he spends most of the time talking but not having a shot, and there are very few places to play, just make a surprise reaction.
Therefore, Wang Yang will not test the male interviewer's understanding of the script. As long as his acting skills are good, it is enough. When it comes to filming, if he does not act well, Wang Yang will directly explain his requirements and let him act accordingly.
But no one can meet this requirement. Almost all the actors who came to participate in the interview have only been extras. They have never played roles with lines or separate shots, and it is not surprising that they cannot meet the requirements.
"Young director, you need to make a decision quickly." Mark Longst knocked on his watch and urged: "The time is not too much! The agreed interview time is about to end at 5 o'clock, and now it is 4:20. Haven't you noticed that there are fewer and fewer interviewers?" He said helplessly: "Actually, I think that Thompson just now is good. He has a great appearance and good acting skills."
Thompson Wang Yang shook his head and commented: "He has a good appearance and acting skills, but he is too fierce. He is suitable for playing the quarterback in campus comedy movies. But what I need is a tall and friendly person."
"Please, why do you ask for so many? Can you let Tom Hanks play? Damn it!" Mark Longst said with some dissatisfaction: "You have to understand that the salary you offer is only 4,000 US dollars, not 40 million US dollars."
Wang Yang shrugged and said, "No matter what you say, I still have to find an actor who satisfies myself. There are only 2 actors in my movie. If the male protagonist is screwed up, it will be screwed up by 50%.
