[Dreaming about the joyful events of the past, the chrysanthemums pair the poem with elegance. A poem that is commented upon by many, and a preface to an unforgettable gathering. - Excerpt from Autumn Meng Yin]
It doesn't matter whether it's a relationship now or not. Even if there was a relationship before, she just terminated her contract with the company. At this time, the company will suppress her for at least half a year. This is also an unspoken rule in the entertainment industry. If the contract is not terminated peacefully, then in this case
Regarding a question, at least the film and television company will secretly suppress the person who terminates the contract for half a year. If the relationship is too tense, then direct banning is not impossible.
Therefore, at this time, although Michelle is not in a serious dispute with the company, it is impossible to terminate the contract peacefully. In addition, her former agent also complained about Michelle and wanted to suppress Michelle.
Sher, that's a normal thing.
Therefore, it is not easy for Michelle to get a role now. Many people from the Screen Actors Guild choose the remaining bit parts. Although the income is not too bad, it is basically precarious. For someone like her,
It's relatively rare for a slightly famous bit player to be involved in something like this.
After all, there are some famous extras. Generally speaking, in Hollywood, there are anxious circles with relatively fixed incomes. These people are the reserve army of first- and second-tier actors. If there is a good role, then in
On a question like this, there is no problem at least entering the second tier. Just like Michelle, in fact, it is said that she is a third tier actor. That is not unreasonable, but her reputation is now said to be suppressed.
is very low.
Her income was precarious, which made her start to have doubts about her future. This was suppressed by her previous company, but now she understands it very well.
But Michelle has no choice. Today she came to the Avenue of Stars just to relax. There is no work or any announcement today, and this also means that Michelle has no income today.
of.
If it was a matter like this that she had not saved so much before, it would be hard for Michelle to think where she would end up.
In this regard, Michelle's experience is actually better than that of Vin Diesel. After all, at this time Michelle was only suppressed, not banned. The company suppressed Michelle at this time. In fact,
It is also a warning to the monkeys, so that in the future, the company's actors will easily terminate their contracts with the company. The company is suppressing Michelle to tell its actors that if they want to terminate their contracts, there is no problem, but they will have to bear the company's wrath. But this suppression
It's just a suppression, not a ban. Michelle can still receive some help, or notices such as magazine covers. With this income, there is no problem in maintaining a normal life.
Another point is that regarding a question like this, in fact, no matter how it is said, Michelle has the characteristic of a woman who is thoughtful and prepared for a rainy day. This is a common problem of ordinary women. Therefore, Michelle
When Xie Er became famous, she also started to know how to save, which gave her some savings in her hands.
Therefore, even if Michelle does not have a job now, in such a matter, she will not be like Vin Diesel, unable to pay rent, unable to eat, and have to return to the farm to farm.
Just when Michelle stood in front of the Mickey Mouse star and wanted to take a photo with her childhood Ouyang, her phone suddenly rang Jackson's classic song, Thriller.
A very classic song, the world's best-selling album. This is also Jackson's most successful album.
Michelle actually likes Jackson's songs, especially this song. This is the kind of song that can see light in the dark. This kind of tune is the kind of song that makes people feel happy after hearing it.
A song with an uplifting feeling.
Although the MTV of Jackson's song is a horror movie, the core of the song is actually to make people work hard and not give up on themselves in the face of adversity. Therefore, this song is also related to Michelle
The current life experiences are very similar.
Her mobile phone has a ringtone like this. Everyone in Hollywood has one of these mobile phones. As long as you are in the entertainment industry, it is simply unimaginable if you don't have a mobile phone now. After all, in the entertainment industry, this is a need
A place to keep in touch at any time. If a member of the crew wants to contact you to participate in a performance, but cannot contact you, then it would be a tragedy in such a matter.
After one or two times, people will simply stop playing with you. Therefore, it is very important to keep the phone open.
At this time, Michelle answered the phone, and a loud voice came from the other side of the phone and said: "Is this Miss Michelle?"
After getting a positive reply, the voice immediately said: "Miss Michelle, if I want to contact you, it is really not an easy task. I have already called you for more than six times.
I called ten times and didn’t get through once.”
Michelle immediately said: "I'm very sorry, sir, I went to a mountainous area two days ago to follow a film crew. When I got there, it was said that there was no signal at all. Therefore, if you want to find me,
That simply means there is no possibility of contacting me. And now, I have just returned from that crew and rushed to Hollywood."
The mobile phone signal in the United States is not available everywhere. If the place is too remote, then in such an event, it means that there is no signal at all. This is not impossible.
The other person on the phone seemed to agree with this explanation. The actor went to the mountainous area to film and there was no signal. This is not the first time that such a thing has happened in Hollywood. Therefore, it is normal for such a thing to happen. In addition,
Michelle's current situation is not very good, so she will never not answer the phone on purpose.
Therefore, the person on the other side of the phone immediately changed the subject and said: "Let's not talk about it for now, Miss Michelle, I am Chris Morgan, the co-ordinating screenwriter of the Fast and Furious crew.
We have a role here, and the director thinks you are quite suitable. I hope, Miss Michelle, you can come and audition."
In fact, there is no problem if the co-ordinating screenwriter is a screenwriter, but if he is not a screenwriter, there is not much of a problem. This is a very special thing. Generally speaking, the production team has a chief screenwriter, which is similar to this.
The co-ordinating screenwriter must be someone from the screenwriting industry, but he has already said that what he started to consider was not the details of the crew's plot, but the overall framework of the movie, which means that he has control over the movie.
The overall direction. Some production crews do not have the role of coordinating screenwriter. In fact, it is not that there is no role, but the director plays the role of coordinating screenwriter, so there is no need for someone with this role.
Of course, Fast and Furious still needs such a character to exist. After all, the director cannot pay more attention to the plot. What the director needs to pay more attention to is the actors and the special effects shots in road movies. How to shoot these?
It is a very effective way to attract the audience. Therefore, Chris Morgan is the screenwriter, but he is the coordinating screenwriter and is responsible for the plot issues of the entire crew.
Michelle was ecstatic. Now she had no choice. As long as there was a movie, it would be better than nothing. Fast and Furious, although Universal was not very optimistic about such a movie.
But that's a matter for Hollywood executives. As for actors, it's not a big deal.
When I appear in a movie, I will definitely get paid. Even if the movie is not released, the actors will be paid a certain amount. In this regard, Hollywood has done a very good job.
The Screen Actors Guild fully guarantees that every actor will receive sufficient remuneration on time. Otherwise, why should other actors join the Screen Actors Guild? Actors at different levels must submit to the Screen Actors Guild every year.
Pay a certain fee.
For example, on this issue, no matter how you say it, actors are a vulnerable group to the crew, but if you are a member of the Screen Actors Guild, then Keen will not
I'm worried that something will happen where I won't be paid for my role.
As long as you perform the role, you will definitely be able to get the salary as agreed in the contract. If a crew refuses to pay, no matter what the reason is for refusing to pay, the Screen Actors Guild will definitely take the crew to court.
Yes, even if the crew is disbanded, there are still investors and film companies, anyway, the Screen Actors Guild can always find a suitable defendant.
Therefore, there is a very good phenomenon in Hollywood, that is, in such a matter, no matter what the situation is, generally no production crew dares to deduct an actor's salary.
This is the benefit of being a ruthless actor. Of course, if there is a stipulation in the contract, it is difficult to say. It is better to say that if the movie is not released, it is impossible to receive the full salary, or that the movie does not require salary, but it requires box office dividends and so on.
It's all according to the contract.
In the Actors Guild, the more famous actors are, the higher the membership dues they need to pay. For example, it is normal for Leonardo DiCaprio to have hundreds of thousands of annual membership fees. Because of the cost of protecting the rights and interests of these superstars, in fact, the cost of the Actors Guild
It is also very high.
Of course, if you are a bit actor like Michelle, then at this time, the membership fee is only a few hundred dollars a year. To put it mildly, the Screen Actors Guild is very understanding of such a thing.
Robbing from the rich and giving to the poor.
Yes, in fact, the maintenance cost of superstars is high. If you help a superstar fight a lawsuit, it is not impossible to say that it is more than ten times more difficult than an ordinary star. If a third-rate actor like Michelle, now
If you have almost been reduced to a supporting role, then for such a matter, it is basically a letter from a lawyer from the Screen Actors Guild, or even a matter that can be solved with a phone call. The crew who do not have a good background will simply say no.
Those who are willing to provoke those people from the Screen Actors Guild.
Therefore, Michelle is not worried about her remuneration at all. As long as she pays attention when signing the contract and does not fall into the pit, then there is no big problem.
And speaking of something like this, the crew of Fast and Furious is also famous in Hollywood. After all, it invested 50 million in a major production, and this is also an A-level movie in Hollywood.
Therefore, at this time, Michelle had heard about a movie like Universal's more than once. As a producer, Alexander was also very famous in the industry. Investors Ye Ming and Madoff were not ordinary investors.
's rich.
Although everyone is not very optimistic about the prospects of this movie. But no matter what, because Ye Ming and Madoff, as well as Universal, endorsed it, at least one thing about this movie is very clear.
, that is to say, for such a thing, the crew of Fast and Furious is not short of money, and it is not ordinary.
Michelle immediately said: "There is no problem, Mr. Morgan. I am honored to have the opportunity to join your crew. There is no problem when we audition. There has been no problem in the past two days."
As long as she has a job, it will be very helpful to Michelle in such a matter, and it will help her get out of this low point in her life. Therefore, in this
At that time, if the crew of Fast and Furious actually extended an olive branch, Michelle would naturally not refuse it at this point.
Chris Morgan nodded and said: "Okay, if you have time, Miss Michelle, then you can come to our crew to audition this afternoon."
Now the crew of Fast and Furious needs time. As long as the actors are found, they can start shooting at any time. This is also an important reason why Chris Morgan and I are so anxious. In fact, it is not just about Morgan.
This guy is anxious. Ye Ming is very anxious about something like this. As the director, Rob Cohen is even more anxious.
After all, it is an actor like Michelle, an actor chosen by Ye Ming himself. Although at this time, Rob Cohen is more in favor of such a move, but if it can be said earlier,
If you start shooting in one day, then at a time like this, it is still something worth knowing. Therefore, Morgan said that the time was relatively tight. He just found it and invited the crew to audition in the afternoon.
