Hollywood Drawing

Luke Simmons graduated two years before Wayne and had excellent grades in school. However, the most important thing in Hollywood is talented people. In two years, Luke only worked on several production crews as a director's assistant under the introduction of his classmates.

The reason why Luke agreed to the mentor's introduction was because the mentor told him that Wayne agreed to let him be an assistant director. This was a rare opportunity that would allow him to deeply participate in the production of a film.

Pushing open the door of the coffee shop, Luke sat across from Wayne. He knew this junior, but he had never interacted with him.

He raised his head from reading the information and looked at the senior, who was wearing a baggy suit, no tie, and half-worn leather shoes. It seemed that as the teacher said, the senior was not doing well.

"Luke? I'm Wayne. The teacher must have told you, right? I'll tell you what I think. You can be the assistant director, but I need a crew coordinator. You have to work part-time as well. The salary won't be too high. I I don’t have a big budget, is there any problem?”

Wayne was the first to speak. He didn't have much time, so he had to hurry up if he could.

"No problem, I'm available to work anytime. Do you need to see my resume?"

Luke took out a resume from his bag and put it on the table. Wayne glanced at it and saw that it basically contained experiences in various crews. Although they were mostly handymen or director assistants, they were at least rich in experience and had seen a lot of things. How a full-length movie came to be.

"I believe in your ability, and I believe in the teacher even more. He speaks highly of you. Do you have any doubts? You can tell them all now. We will be very busy when work starts."

Looking at him sincerely, he told the truth. There were still many things waiting for the two of them. When they were busy, they didn't have time to sit down and explain to him slowly.

"Wayne, I have learned about you. You have excellent grades, study hard, and can be said to be an all-rounder. I hope you know that I am not participating in your project for the pitiful weekly salary.

I can also serve as the crew coordinator, even set manager, and do odd jobs. But you have to ensure that the film will be completed and that it will not be half-finished without funding. You also have to ensure that I can be deeply involved in the production, even in the later stages of the film. "

Wayne thought about it and realized it wasn't a big problem.

"Okay, here are the materials and script attachments from my studio. You need to understand them first and give me a call. We will start working tomorrow."

Hand the information to Luke, he needs to understand it as soon as possible and get into working mode. Based on Luke's experience, the crew coordinator should be able to do the job, which would free up Wayne from a lot of chores.

Crew coordinator, this position is very important in the crew, but it is also very inconspicuous. It is like a person who specializes in handling various chores on the set. It is best to have participated in the operation of the set and have experience. Generally, no one who is arrogant is willing to do this job, but this senior brother obviously doesn't care.

The next day, Luke came to Wayne's apartment as promised.

"Sorry, Luke, this is a bit messy, but I don't have much money and need to save it, so I can't rent an office space, so I have to make do with it first."

Wayne got him a bottle of water and tossed aside the video tape and dirty clothes on the couch.

"It doesn't matter. You're lucky to have found the funds for filming. I see that you've basically found the crew. What do you need me to do now?"

"Have you read the script? It's probably like that, there won't be any other changes. Haven't you been on other crews? This is the photography equipment I need. You should be familiar with it. Go to a few more and ask price, find a cheaper rental company.”

Wayne handed him a printed document, then returned to his seat and continued to draw the storyboard. He took the time to find these information in the past few days. Rental equipment can be said to be very important. Prices vary and costs vary widely, and Wayne must save his money.

"Okay, give me the phone number of your apartment and I will contact you if necessary."

Luke shook his head as he took the information, opened the door and went downstairs to find the leasing company to inquire about the price. He read the script yesterday, and it basically didn't meet the content of a mainstream movie, which made him a little discouraged.

The protagonist is killed at the beginning of the movie, and the protagonist is killed in the middle, and there is an old-fashioned time loop and puzzle solving. A horror comedy with obvious black attributes. This type of film is a carnival for niche movie fans at first glance, and the investment must be very small.

But that’s right, if you want to make a mainstream movie with this little money, it’s just wishful thinking. Luke was not very optimistic about this project anyway, but he was reluctant to give up this rare opportunity to participate deeply in film production.

He doesn't care what Luke thinks. Now he has to worry about drawing storyboards and considering the layout of the camera, and at the same time he has to call Jimmy to communicate with Jimmy about the cast and crew.

Wayne grabbed his hair and put down the pencil, preparing to go downstairs to buy a pack of cigarettes. He was under too much pressure during this period and was ready to pick up the hobby of his previous life. He knew it was not a good habit, but it would help relax his mind and refresh him.

"Hey, you don't look good! You look a lot haggard. Do you smoke leaf cigarettes? Believe me, young man, that's not a good habit."

Just as he was closing the door, greetings from neighbors sounded behind him.

"No, I won't touch that stuff. Maybe I need regular cigarettes to relieve stress. I'm going downstairs to buy two packs of cigarettes. Do you have any plans today? Ms. Watts? Let's have a cup of coffee together?"

Wayne tentatively asked the beautiful neighbor.

"Go to your house? Are you sure you have coffee at home? Not those damn little umbrellas! Well, I have nothing to do. I may return to China in a few days. Hollywood may not be suitable for me. Maybe I should go back and continue acting for a few years. Years of commercials, TV series.”

He shrugged. She obviously misunderstood, but judging from what she meant, she probably didn't hate him. At least she agreed to the invitation, so she didn't explain. Opening the door that had just been locked, Wayne invited her in and then said to her:

"Sorry, it's a bit messy. I'm too busy during this period and I'm not in the mood to clean the room."

As he spoke, he picked up the dirty clothes scattered on the sofa and on the floor and put them into the washing machine in the bathroom.

"Ouch! Your room feels like it has been visited dozens of times by a group of thieves. It's too busy? What are you doing? I can hardly see you going out. Maybe you should show up at school instead of troubling yourself. It’s closed in the apartment, where did you put the trash bag?”

The beautiful neighbor watched him hurriedly clean up, found the garbage bag, and helped him throw all kinds of household garbage in, and picked up the hamburger packaging, pizza boxes, and drink bottles that were everywhere in the house.

"Yes, I'm about to graduate. I wrote a script myself. I've been basically preparing it during this period. I plan to film it, and I was lucky enough to get investment. Thank you for helping me clean up my room. No. I thought you were pretty good at housework, you know, the beautiful women I know usually don't do these things."

Wayne folded his hands and leaned against the bathroom door, watching her put the garbage into the bag, then picked up the broom and swept the living room.

"Can I take this as a compliment? Do you think I'm beautiful? Young man, my sister will teach you one thing, that is, next time you want to ask a girl home, clean the apartment in advance, otherwise no girl will be willing to be with a girl. Dirty young men are fucked, even if they are handsome."

The beautiful neighbor looked up at him, swept all the garbage into the bag, opened the door and put it at the door.

Is she beautiful? Undoubtedly, she has blond hair, a slim waist, long legs, a delicate face, and a slender body with curves. What is rare is that her appearance is completely in line with the aesthetics of the Oriental people. He personally screened the King Kong in his previous life.

"Of course you are beautiful. I can see that you must have been taking good care of your figure. Especially seeing you up close is so hot. Oh, sorry, I'm going to make coffee."

When he put the two cups of coffee on the coffee table, the beautiful neighbor wiped the area with a torn T-shirt of Wayne's, then nodded with relief and sat on the sofa.

"Okay, I didn't expect you to have coffee at your house. You said you wanted to film a script you wrote? Can I take a look? At least I've had a few supporting roles."

Wayne watched her pick up the cup and take a sip, licking her lips, wow, very tempting. I didn't have the nerve to stare at her, so I quickly turned around and picked up the script and handed it to her.

"Here, tell me your own feelings after watching it, from the perspective of an audience."

The beautiful neighbor took the script, and Wayne watched her read it slowly while taking a sip of coffee from time to time. I have to say that this is really a stunner, especially when you are young.

"Well, let me tell you my feelings. This film is obviously made for young people, or students? Middle-aged and elderly people are not interested in watching this type of horror film.

Otherwise, I think the story might be a bit thin and cliche. Sorry, I don’t know much about it, but I know it may be suitable for you, at least it won’t cost a lot of money. "

After watching the beautiful neighbor, she tilted her head and thought for a while, then spoke slowly.

Wayne tapped the script with his hand, looked at her and said:

"Are you interested in the heroine? You should have seen the setting. Blonde hair, beauty, you have it all."

"What do I have to give? You know what I mean, if I want this heroine. Believe me, I can do this kind of role."

When Wayne asked her, the beautiful neighbor immediately looked at her seriously. Halfway through the script, she could tell that this was an opportunity, a starring opportunity that was readily available in front of her.

Wayne thought about it and said to her:

"This role doesn't require any acting skills, as you should have seen. It just needs to be beautiful enough. I can tell you in advance that the pay for this role is not high, or even very low, only 20,000 US dollars at most. My budget is not big."

"No problem, I can ask my agent to sign the contract tomorrow. You should understand that I need this opportunity as a heroine. Other than that? Do you want to audition for my "acting skills"? I understand the rules. If you want something in return, you have to give something.”

Of course he knew that she would not let go of this opportunity after reading the script. Opportunities are more attractive to actors. Handsome men and beauties all over the world are waiting for an opportunity in Hollywood. Although the hope of success and fame is very slim, there are still countless people who come here one after another.

"No, there is basically no need to audition. This drama requires the highest appearance of the actors, just enough to attract people's attention. Only when a beautiful woman is constantly being killed and tortured can she have the ability to catch people's attention."

"Did you invite me here just for a cup of coffee? Boy, believe me, my "acting skills" are great and will definitely satisfy you."

The beautiful neighbor said as she put down the script, picked up the coffee and took a sip. Then she pulled up Wayne's belt and slowly the two of them walked into the bedroom.

"Oh, maybe your "acting skills" will surprise me."

Wayne grunted and followed her. Of course he didn't mind what happened. After all, the beautiful neighbor fit his taste perfectly.
