Chapter 31

Back in Los Angeles, Murphy went to the actors' Union again. The investment and production company of the project "fruit candy" were too humble. In a short day, no actor left his application information.

Murphy also decided to go back and publish the recruitment information in the newspaper. Just like the staff he has recruited, there are many actors who have not joined the Union in Los Angeles.

Later, he took Jessica chastan to the directors' Union, the photographers' Union and the writers' Union. He wanted to ask about the possibility of joining the union, especially the latter. The writers who joined the union can record the scripts in the union, and they can also inquire about the scripts recorded by others, so as to avoid a lot of unnecessary trouble.

It's true that he can register the copyright in the copyright bureau just like fruit candy, but it costs a lot of money. Although the writers' Union will also charge for the registered items, it's much cheaper.

The price directly affects Murphy's current choice.

It's a pity that after a trip, Murphy Bai's entry threshold for organizations such as directors' Union is not too high, but he also has certain entry requirements. His new recruits are not qualified at all.

However, this trip was not in vain, which also made Murphy understand some cognitive misunderstandings caused by cultural differences and translation problems.

The first is that trade unions and associations are not the same thing at all.

The so-called trade union refers to the organization that people in a certain industry or type of work unite to fight against the management for the purpose of improving the treatment, working conditions, minimum wage and medical insurance; the association is a non-profit organization composed of professionals in a certain field for the purpose of cultural exchange, information sharing, education and scientific research.

The difference between the two is that the trade union is open to all employees, and the entry threshold is very low, while the association or society is more like a senior club of senior people.

In fact, the producers' Union, directors' Association, actors' Association and other organizations in Murphy's cognition were not associations, but trade unions.

Although the trade union can apply to join as long as it meets its very low basic conditions, Murphy is disappointed. For example, the photographer trade union he wants to join stipulates that he can apply only if he has obtained 100 days of paid work experience in photography in non union film production within three years, or worked 30 days in union production

Murphy is obviously not qualified.

After giving up her plan to join the regular Hollywood organization for the time being, Murphy published an advertisement for actors in several local Los Angeles newspapers the next day and began to schedule the preparatory work of this small production group. She rented photographic equipment with Jessica chastan, purchased special ketchup for plasma with MIA Sucre, and went to San Fernando with Sonny Craig Gu inspected the interior of the house

A lot of money was transferred out of Murphy's account. The days when he could only get in but could not get out and the money was less and less also made him live like a year.

During this period, more than a dozen actors also called. Murphy had a preliminary interview in Milton cafe, and the results were very unsatisfactory. The actors were either unsuitable in appearance or poor in acting.

Most of the plays in this project mainly take place between the two characters, and inevitably have relatively high requirements for the actors.

No matter how Murphy's project goes, Hollywood is on its own track.

The cast Union has more than 100000 members. Its office on the west coast is located in Hollywood. A large number of actors come in and out every day. Many of them stop in front of the recruitment bulletin board to look for the most suitable opportunities.

After all, there are only a few actors who can be popular all over the United States. Most of them, like Murphy, struggle for their dreams.

There is a group of people who are not in this group, and their starting point is much higher than ordinary people.

A girl with short golden brown hair, carrying a large file bag, entered the actors' Union. She was young, and looked like 15 or 16 years old. Unlike white women, she was born precocious. The girl was born with a baby face, which was playful and lovely. With her big eyes, she was like a girl in Vladimir Nabokov's works Like.

"Uncle Julian!"

Walking through the recruitment column, when she came to the front of an office, the girl looked back discontentedly, her mouth almost pouted to the sky, "can you hurry up?"

Her voice was clear and melodious, with a distinctly London accent.

Not far behind, an old man with a bald forehead, just separated from the crowd gathered in front of the recruitment column, came panting toward this side, "Kerry, you are walking too fast, you have to consider the old man's body."

The girl scratched her short hair. "You have to understand my urgent mood. You know, I wanted to be an actor since I was a child. My stubborn parents wanted me to go to college instead of acting. Now it's hard to take the opportunity to come to Los Angeles as an exchange student..."

Her eyes have been rolling, "you are not easy to find time to help me register as a member of the actors union, I am very excited."

"Come on! Hurry up The girl looks like she can't wait.

Julian firos finally catches up with the girl and takes her into the office. He is a senior actor who is also famous in Hollywood. With his introduction, the girl joined the trade union without much effort and became one of the relatively secure actors.It's just not fair.

Leaving the office, Julian firos said to the girl walking beside him, "the union can guarantee your working conditions, minimum wage and medical insurance..."

The girl is very smart, immediately interface, "but only if I can find a job as an actor."

Julian firos nodded as he walked and asked, "what kind of character do you like?"

With the care of his relative, it's not difficult for a girl to get some small roles in Hollywood.

"Well, I want to think about..." The girl's big eyes twinkled. "I think Lolita is very good."

This answer was completely unexpected. He turned his head and looked over there with a little surprise. The girl immediately realized that she had said something wrong and quickly added, "Uncle Julian, I'm kidding you."

She quickly changed the subject, pointed to the crowd in front of the recruitment bar and asked, "what are they doing?"

"A lot of cast members will post recruitment information here," Julian firos explained simply, "but they are not very famous projects."

The girl didn't seem to hear the last sentence. She jumped with joy, and her clear voice jumped out of her mouth. "That's great. I'm going to have a look, too."

Her baby face was full of excitement, and she ran directly to the other side, regardless of the slightly tottering old man.

When she ran to the recruitment bar, the girl found that there were too many people here. She couldn't see clearly from the outside. She wanted to get closer, but she couldn't get in at all.

Just in front of the notice board, there is a recruitment notice, just registered as a member of the actors' Union. The little girl is very eager to find a suitable role and try her best performance in the school troupe.

She has been interested in acting since she was a child, and many people say that she is a talent in acting, even Julian firos, who is behind, is no exception.

"I want to see it. I want to see it. Really, there are so many people."

The girl tooted her mouth, turned her big eyes, suddenly became bright, and deliberately changed into a childish voice, "Hey, hey, pay attention!"

No one answered. She was not discouraged. She continued, "the casting director of the Spielberg crew is recruiting in the west yard!"

This remark immediately attracted many people's attention. Some people even turned their heads to the west, but the West courtyard of the actors' Union was separated from here by two corridors with corners, so it was impossible to see there.

Immediately someone asked, "little girl, is that true?"

"Spielberg's crew, how could that be..."

"Are you cheating?"

Hearing these messy voices, the girl took out her most lovely expression, carrying a pair of small hands, blinking smart big eyes, and said lovingly, "I'm a good student, how can I cheat?"

At this age and in this appearance, even steel will dissolve

"Let's go and have a look..."

"I think it's true."

Obviously, many people choose to believe in girls and go to the West courtyard one after another.

Although many people were not moved, after leaving those people, it was no longer so crowded here. The girl easily got to the front and raised her head just to see these recruitment notices. Suddenly, a voice rang out beside her.

"Are you an actor, too?"

The girl followed her voice and saw that it was a man with brown curly hair, about twenty-three years old. She was very handsome, especially when she looked this way, there was a smile on the corner of her mouth, which was very charming.

"Yes The girl tapped her pointed chin. "I just registered here."

The man's smile is more obvious. "What Dave said is true. The more lovely a girl is, the more deceptive she is."

"What?" The girl looked at him in surprise, as if she didn't understand the meaning of those words, "what do you say? Who cheated? "

Her face naturally appeared very innocent, but also with a kind of curious expression, as if surprised who the man said.

"The acting is very good." The man seemed to find something very funny, and he couldn't help laughing, "especially for your age."

"Hum!"

The girl wrinkled her nose. Like all the people who have been seen telling lies, she could not help but feel embarrassed. She was a little angry with the man beside her. She turned her eyes to the opposite recruitment column and saw a recruitment notice.

"We are looking for 14-16-year-old actresses in Stanton studio's" fruit candy "project. They are required to be cute and have a certain acting skill foundation. It's better to be familiar with Lolita..."

Seeing this, the girl couldn't help but swallow and spit. She quickly wrote down her contact information. When she wanted to continue to read other recruitment notices, the man next to her spoke again.

"The people you cheated are back." He cautioned."Ah?" The girl looked back and saw a lot of people coming quickly from the West. She turned around and went out. The brown haired man looked at her back and put his eyes on the recruitment notice of Stanton studio.

Pretty cute little girl, isn't it?

Afterwards, he kept staring at the girl's back until she disappeared completely.
