Chapter 87 The wind rose in Los Angeles

September 10

Hot winds blow through the City of Angels.

Since Anne left New York,

Come to Los Angeles to audition and film the new Disney movie "The Princess Diaries".

Half a month has passed.

On the third day after arriving in Los Angeles, she passed the official audition.

Take on the role of Mia, the female lead of "The Princess Diaries". Everything is going well.

The audition is successful, the contract is signed and related training begins.

The training period is one month, after one month there is a half-month break.

The movie is expected to be released at the end of November this year and the expected filming period is 4 months.

She signed a three-month contract and her salary was $250,000 before taxes. Princess Diaries' total investment capital is 30 million USD, including advertising and distribution.

The majority of the capital budget goes mainly to the directors and the director is Garry Marshall.

This is the famous American master of family comedy.

He has acted in successful comedies such as "The Enemy", "Pretty Woman" and "Runaway Bride".

Gary Marshall received two million dollars and 9% of the shares. He is the only big name in the group and also the one who benefits the most.

On the other hand, Annie can only get 250,000.

Another main actor, who played the male lead, also received $250,000.

Compensation of $250,000 after taxes will be paid to the brokerage firm.

$250,000, probably about $150,000 left. $150,000 in three months seems like a lot.

But for stars in the entertainment industry, that amount is probably not enough for three months of equipment costs.

So before becoming famous, at least become a third-rate star with a salary of over a million dollars.

The income of other Hollywood actors is really not that high.

Of course. Not much, just to compare with their toppings.

Compare with their concept of consumption and consumption.

Compared to other common occupations, this income level is still very impressive.

If it's the former, you could get a salary of $250,000.

can also be the female lead of a movie. Anne Hathaway must be very excited, ready for anything.

But now, four months after meeting Abel.

It's been almost two months since she enjoyed a life that many stars in Hollywood cannot have.

This income, this treatment.

It's hard to get Anne Hathaway excited. Among other things, these clothes were in his suitcase.

There are also things like jewelry to carry.

The total value is more than half a million USD.

A salary of $250,000 is really hard to get excited about.

Fortunately, she is still young after all. When I was young, I liked to focus on flash.

So what could be easier to attract attention than being a star?

Attracted by fame, she is always willing to work hard to perform, tour and do good work.

After all, this was her hobby since she was a child and also her mother's dream.

That day, Annie went to CAA headquarters in Los Angeles. She will come here to study with a theater teacher specially hired for her by CAA.

Also, it's not a perk.

This is how most Hollywood film crews treat newcomers and young actors.

That is, before filming officially begins, acting teachers are often invited to help train the main actors.

This amount was paid by the crew and the people were sought by the CAA. She will stay here for a month and receive relevant training for a month.

Annie has been here many times so she knows the way.

A large Mercedes-Benz car she was driving stopped in the parking lot in front of the CAA headquarters.

After the car has stopped completely.

In the passenger compartment, a muscular white man jumped out. When the man got out of the car, his sharp eyes scanned the surroundings.

Then he knocked on the car window.

A moment later, driver Mary also jumped out of the taxi.

The man moved to the other side, using his body to block the view of the rear compartment door of the Mercedes-Benz nanny car from three directions.

Driver Mary drove the last leg and then reached out to open the car. Entering the compartment, a middle-aged white woman about forty years old jumped up for the first time.

Immediately after that, Anne Hathaway wore a simple T-shirt that couldn't hide her beautiful figure and got out of the car wearing glasses.

Then, surrounded by the three of them, she headed towards the CAA headquarters.

This scene,

It fell on the eyes of Heather Matarazzo, another actress of "The Princess Diaries", who also came to acting training today.

With Heather Matarazzo and her assistant. Right in The Princess Diaries, Heather Matarazzo has been confirmed to play the supporting role of a green leaf next to the female lead.

She couldn't help but watch Annie leave and said: "Jane, look over there."

The assistant replied: "I understand.

"Why does she have such a big show?

I remember she was just a newcomer.

This splurge is almost comparable to cafe A! "

Assistant: "Um, to be honest. Heather, I don't know.

"But I know this car. I also remember Julia Roberts's nanny's car.

My uncle sells cars and he said this type of car would cost $100,000 without customization.

If customized, it may cost 200,000, or it may be more expensive. "

Hearing what the assistant said, Heather Matarazzo was even more surprised.

"Too expensive? It looks like a regular Mercedes-Benz. »

"Yes. It's that expensive."

"It gets even weirder," said Heather Matarazzo. "How could she afford such an expensive car!"

The assistant persuaded her: "This has nothing to do with us, Heather. In this movie, her main villain is still her."

"Alright." Heather Matarazzo has resigned.

The role she plays in this Princess Diary is basically the female lead's supporting role. In the plot, he is mainly responsible for humor and highlighting the female lead.

is the female lead Mia's best friend.

Heather Matarazzo's appearance is actually very ordinary.

She is so lucky to be able to act in movies.

Even if there is any actress in the team who can compete with Annie, it is not her, who is not beautiful and has an average figure. "Let's go," said Heather Matarazzo.

The assistant quickly followed.

The two women left the rented Nissan car and entered the CAA headquarters building.

They will meet on the third floor of the building, where the CAA drama class is located.

Actor training under CAA contracts is generally available. This is different from the male and female leads having only one acting teacher.

The supporting role, Heather, shares a teacher with several other major supporting characters.

But everyone is on the third floor because all the theater rooms are here.

When Heather and her assistant arrived on the third floor, they saw that it was very busy here today.

As soon as the assistant asked,

I just found out today that some actors in the troupe came to study acting. These are stipulated in the contracts of some entities under the CAA contract.
