Chapter 474 BOSS Hu
A casual suit makes John look elegant and handsome, and he exudes the temperament of an English gentleman.
He arrived on set early, walked through the library, and felt the world described in the script. This scene is a crucial one in "The Magic Contract," the first time the hero and heroine meet and appreciate each other. It is precisely because of this mutual appreciation that the hero and heroine later face difficulties together.
In the play, he will be attracted by the heroine's unique temperament, which is different from the women he has seen before. The script says that it is the oriental feminine temperament that attracts him.
This mysterious aura left John feeling a bit lost in his acting. Who knew what that Eastern mystical aura was? He had never seen anything so strange before. John couldn't get into the role, something he had never seen before, something he couldn't imagine. He felt the screenwriter must have made it up.
But the screenwriter was the gold medal screenwriter of Hamlet Company, and he didn't dare to question the screenwriter's professionalism. He could only find a way to get into the play himself.
John rubbed his forehead and unknowingly walked to a bookshelf about Eastern culture. He picked up a book at random and tried to find some inspiration.
He was highly sought after by Hamlet Company, not only for his excellent image and temperament, but also for his professionalism. Even though this was a special effects film that relied heavily on post-production, he took every scene seriously, striving to deliver perfection.
He leaned against the bookshelf and flipped through the book in his hand. The content was too difficult and there were many unfamiliar professional terms that he couldn't understand. John closed the book and saw that it was a professional book on the cover. He could only put the book back helplessly and choose another one.
"John," Emily came over and asked, "Are you upset? Are you angry that the heroine hasn't arrived on the set yet so late?"
John looked up at Emily. Emily was dressed particularly sexy today, in a long dress with a low neckline and a large slit, which made her already hot figure even more attractive.
Her wheat-colored skin reveals a bit of wildness, with a high nose bridge and plump lips. When she smiles, she is warm and charming.
"Emily, don't you have any scenes today?" John was surprised that Emily appeared on the set.
Emily leaned against the bookshelf next to John, arms folded across her chest, and said, "'The Magic Contract' has been filming for a month, and the leading actress is still nowhere to be seen. I'm very curious about her, so I came here to take a look. The leading actor has arrived, the styling is done, but she, the leading actress, is still nowhere to be seen. It seems this actress from Treasure Island is quite arrogant."
John looked at his watch and said, "There's still a long time before work starts. I'm early. I just came here to get a feel for it."
"John, you don't have to cover up for her. This actress is just arrogant and rude." Emily made a disdainful expression. "Don't forget that her salary is several times higher than yours, the male lead. You came early to get a feel for the scene, but she came at the last minute. Is she confident in her acting skills, or does she look down on you? Aren't you worried that when you're acting with her, you'll keep making mistakes and slow down the process?"
John, who had worked his way up from a minor role, could see Emily's dissatisfaction, but he didn't follow her lead. He simply said, "Regarding the salary, you need to go to Director Philip. He's also the producer of this film, so he has the final say."
After saying that, he lowered his head and flipped through the book in his hand, with no intention of continuing to pay attention to Emily.
Seeing that she couldn't get any advantage from John, Emily went to talk to other staff members. As for the sexy and beautiful Emily, the staff members were happy to joke with her.
Emily inevitably brought the topic to Hu Xiaoxiao.
Most of the crew members are white, and they already feel superior to Asians. Under Emily's guidance, they became unhappy with Hu Xiaoxiao who had not yet arrived.
"Robert, I think this outfit looks great. Thank you for choosing it for me. It suits my character very well."
For movie costumes, apart from important scenes that require special design by designers, some scenes that only have one or two shots are selected with the help of costume directors.
Robert, the costume director, looked up and saw that Emily was wearing the exact same costume for the scene they were going to shoot that evening. "Oh, Emily, why are you wearing your costume at this hour?"
"Because I love your taste so much. After this scene is finished, we can seamlessly transition to the next one in the evening. Robert, you obviously have such good taste, but the dress you chose for the heroine doesn't seem to be liked by her."
"Oh, they have sponsorship from a clothing brand company, so they don't need me." Robert said sourly.
"I heard that she didn't like the clothes you chose, so she asked for brand sponsorship."
"There's nothing I can do. She's not even satisfied with the costumes the designer designed for her."
After chatting with the costume director for a while, Emily walked over to Andrew, the makeup director. Seeing Andrew sitting there leisurely, she smiled and said, "Andrew, you're so relaxed. Is it because the heroine doesn't need you? I heard she has her own makeup artist, so she doesn't need you."
Andrew took a sip of coffee and said, "I don't know about that. My main job is to design the characters and do the special effects makeup. When you enter the secret realm, that's when I'm busiest."
He designed and was responsible for the special effects makeup of various monsters and demons.
"But you came today, apparently responsible for the female lead's styling for this scene. I think you'll be disappointed. They clearly don't need you..."
When director Edward arrived at the set, he saw the crew members discussing the heroine Hu Xiaoxiao in groups of three or four. They were all dissatisfied and angry with Hu Xiaoxiao and agreed to isolate her.
Edward shouted angrily, "What are you doing? Why are you isolating Hu?"
A staff member said nonchalantly: "She's an Asian, so why should we respect her?"
It's common for Hollywood to look down on people of other continents and skin colors, not to mention this Asian guy showing extreme disrespect for them. The staff couldn't understand why Edward was angry. Hadn't this kind of thing always happened before?
Edward warned them, "She's not just any Asian, nor is she just any actress. She's the boss! Boss! If you don't want to be fired, you'd better put away your restless hearts and your contemptuous attitude!"
"BOSS Hu?" Emily looked surprised.
"Right!" Edward said. "Whether this movie can achieve dazzling success in Asia depends on Boss Hu's mood. Emily, you'd better be sensible."
Emily usually acts like she's big-breasted and clueless, but she's no fool. If that were indeed a very important boss, she'd probably have to endure the grudge of almost being forced into an ugly costume. Because her costume looked better than the lead actress's, the company almost had to find some tacky outfits for her to wear in order to appease her. Fortunately, they found a high-end brand sponsor. However, despite all the beautiful clothes sponsored by the high-end brand, not a single one belonged to her...
Emily was naturally dissatisfied.
Emily narrowed her eyes unhappily, but saw several black cars parked outside the bookstore, one of which was a super luxury car that was actually a stretched Lincoln.
