America’s Road To Wealth

  Chapter 87 The Wind Rises in Los Angeles

  September 10,

   Warm winds blow through the City of Angels.

   Since Anne left New York,

  Come to Los Angeles to audition and participate in the audition and shooting of Disney's new film "The Princess Diaries".

  Half a month has passed.

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

   Obtained the role of Mia, the heroine of "Princess Diaries".

Everything is going smooth.

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

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

  The movie will probably be launched at the end of November this year, and the shooting time is expected to be four months.

  She signed a three-month schedule, and her salary was $250,000 before taxes.

  The total investment of Princess Diaries is 30 million U.S. dollars, including the publicity and distribution.

  The bulk of the investment budget is mainly on the director, and the director is Garry Marshall.

   This is a well-known American family comedy master.

   He has filmed such blockbuster comedy films as "The Enemy", "Pretty Woman", and "Runaway Bride".

  Gary Marshall gets two million dollars and a 9% share.

  He is the only big name in the crew, and he also gets the most.

  In contrast, Annie can only get 250,000.

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

  The $250,000 remuneration, after paying taxes, will be paid to the brokerage company.

  $250,000, probably about $150,000 left.

  $150,000 in three months seems like a lot.

  But for the stars in the entertainment industry, this money may not be enough for three months of equipment expenses.

  So before becoming famous, at least becoming a third-tier star with a salary of more than one million dollars.

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

Of course.

   There are not many of this kind, just to compare with their upper layer.

   Compare with their consumption concept and consumption.

  Compared with other ordinary occupations, this income is still very impressive.

  If it was before, you can get a salary of 250,000 US dollars.

   can also be the heroine of a movie.

  Anne Hathaway must be overjoyed, willing to do anything.

   But now, four months after she met Abel.

   It has been almost two months since she enjoyed a life that many Hollywood frontlines could not afford.

  This income, this treatment.

   It's hard to get Anne Hathaway excited.

   Among other things, those clothes in her suitcase.

   There are also things like jewelry brought over.

  The combined value is more than half a million dollars.

  The salary of 250,000 US dollars is really hard to excite her.

   Fortunately, she is young after all.

  When I was young, I liked to be focused by the flash.

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

   Attracted by fame, she is still willing to work hard to act, shoot and work well.

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

   On this day, Annie came to CAA's headquarters in Los Angeles.

  She is going to come here to receive training from an acting teacher specially hired by caa for her.

   Besides, this is not a privilege.

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

   That is, before the filming officially starts, the acting teacher is often asked to help train the leading actors.

  The money was paid by the crew, and the people were found by CAA.

  She will stay here for one month and receive relevant training for one month.

  Annie has been here many times, so she is already familiar with the way.

   A large Mercedes-Benz nanny car she was riding in stopped at the parking lot outside the CAA headquarters.

  After the vehicle has come to a complete stop.

   On the passenger cab, a strong white man jumped down.

  After the man got out of the car, his sharp eyes scanned his surroundings.

   Then he knocked on the car window.

   After a while, the female driver Mary also jumped down from the cab.

  The man shifted to the other side, using his body to cover the sight of the rear compartment door of the Mercedes-Benz nanny car in three directions.

  The female driver Mary covered the last direction, and then reached out to open the car.

  In the compartment, a middle-aged Caucasian woman in her forties first jumped out.

   Immediately afterwards, Anne Hathaway, who was wearing a simple T-shirt but could not conceal her good figure at all, got out of the car wearing glasses.

   Then, surrounded by the three of them, she walked towards CAA's headquarters building.

This scene,

   It fell into the eyes of Heather Matarazzo, another actor in "Princess Diaries", who also came to receive acting training today.

  With Heather Matarazzo, and her assistant.

  Already in "Princess Diaries", Heather Matarazzo has been confirmed to play the supporting role of the green leaf beside the heroine.

  She couldn't help but looked at Annie who was going away and said, "Jane, look over there."

  The assistant responded: "I see."

   "Why does she have such a big show?

   I remember she was just a newcomer.

   This ostentation is almost comparable to those A cafes! "

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

   “I know that car, though. I remember Julia Roberts’ nanny car as well.

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

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

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

   "So expensive? It looks like an ordinary Mercedes-Benz."

   "Yes. That's how expensive it is."

   "That's even weirder," says Heather Matarazzo. "How can she afford such an expensive car!"

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

   "Okay." Heather Matarazzo resigned.

  The role she played in "Princess Diaries" this time is basically the supporting role of the heroine.

  In the plot, it is mainly responsible for being funny and setting off the heroine.

   is the best friend of the heroine Mia.

   Heather Matarazzo's appearance is really ordinary.

   She was lucky to be able to act in a movie.

  Even if there is an actress in the crew who can compete with Annie, it's not her, who is not good-looking and has an average figure.

   "Let's go," Heather Matarazzo said.

  The assistant quickly followed.

   The two women left their rented Nissan car and walked into the CAA headquarters building.

  They will meet on the third floor of the building, where CAA's acting classroom is located.

  The training of caa contracted actors is generally here.

  It is different from the hero and heroine who have a single acting teacher.

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

   But everyone is on the third floor, because all the acting classrooms are here.

   When Heather and her assistant came to the third floor, they found that it was very lively here today.

  As soon as the assistant inquired,

  I just realized that today there are several actors from the film crew who came to receive acting training.

   These are the things stipulated in the contracts of certain contracted actors of caa.
