" Trading reminder: Your account number ending with 9527 has received a real-time transfer of 43,000 yuan from another bank. The balance is 48,248 yuan."
Not long after he hung up, Zhao Jingmai sent him the money.
There was no IOU, no share sharing agreement, not even a verbal agreement.
How much he gave her was up to Xuan.
A friend in need is a friend indeed. There were so many people in the entire entertainment industry that she only needed to help him.
Xuan's bank card could be swiped in North America without needing to exchange for foreign currency.
This way, the start-up funds would be settled, and they could start up at any time!
Then, the problem came.
What should he do about the actors, the venue, the props, and even the cameras?
The last three were easy to deal with.
The key was still the actors!
The performance of the actors was directly related to the box office.
If their acting skills were a mess or if they made people act out of character, who would be willing to go to the cinema to watch a crudely made horror movie?
Isn't popcorn fragrant?
There were only two main actors in Paranormal Activity, and the male and female leads took up 90% of the movie.
As for the remaining psychic roles, they could hire extras at a low price.
Xuan could play the male lead himself. He had taken acting lessons in a boy band before.
In his previous life, when he was an assistant director, he had learned a lot from Jiang Wen and had some understanding of acting.
Xuan felt that rather than inviting other European actors, he would rather go himself.
This role posed no challenge to him.
The most important thing was to choose the female owner.
First, she had to be young and beautiful.
Secondly, he had a certain level of acting skills and not zero foundation.
Also, she couldn't be a famous actress.
Putting aside the cost of the film, it was inevitable that a familiar face would make a scene in such a horror film.
This was especially true for pseudo-documentaries that emphasized authenticity. They had to use unfamiliar faces to have a sense of immersion.
This way, Xuan had confirmed his target group.
They were the thousands of young women who went to Hollywood to pursue their dreams of becoming actors and actresses.
There were plenty of girls like this in Hollywood.
Just like the female lead in " The Big Bang Theory," she even took on hemorrhoids commercials.
There would definitely be many people who wanted to try out the beauty of the female lead in a movie.
……
The afternoon sun in California was indeed bright and warm.
Xuan sat in a cafe next to the Walk of Fame, holding a tablet, trying to contact Hollywood's management company.
However, he had no money and no reputation. No agency was willing to work with such a mediocre director.
The awkward thing was that he didn't have any actors to use.
Actually, he could also try his luck at the entrance, but Xuan couldn't find anything that matched the character's temperament.
He didn't want to be as good-looking as his widowed sister, Nicole Kidman, Audrey Hepburn, or Anne Hathaway.
At the very least, they had to be a little more good-looking. These people were not even as good-looking as the waiters in the coffee shop!
At this moment, a tall, blonde waiter with a slim figure was serving Xuan coffee.
The coffee shop uniform seemed to be a little too small, and it was a little tight on her upper body.
The waitress seemed to be a little absent-minded. She accidentally spilled some coffee on the tablet.
"Oh my god! I'm so sorry, sir!"
"It's okay, it's okay. It's okay."
Xuan looked up. The waiter looked familiar!
Wait, this waiter seemed to be…
Sister Ao?
Red Witch?
……
Elizabeth Olsen had been very melancholic recently.
Since her first time acting in a play at the age of four, acting had become her lifelong dream.
Her mother was a ballerina and had been influenced by acting since she was young.
Whether it was the school's stage play or some guest roles in television dramas, she would fight to act.
In university, she was admitted to the New York University School of Arts to study acting. In her spare time, she even went to the broadway stage to gain experience.
Just this year, Elizabeth Olsen ignored her family's advice and came to Luo Shengdu alone to pursue her dream.
She was no longer satisfied with just being on broadway.
She longed to appear on the silver screen, even on the television screen!
Unfortunately, there were too many girls who came to Hollywood to pursue their dreams. It was difficult for her to get a chance in the vast sea of people.
Elizabeth Olsen had been jobless for two consecutive months, and she had a falling out with her mother.
He could only find a part-time job in the cafe to extend his life.
If she failed the audition again this month, she would have to return to Niu Yue dejectedly and rely on her family's help to continue acting in stage plays.
In the past few days, Elizabeth Olsen's audition had been completely wiped out!
She was in despair!
She was also a little listless when she worked in the cafe in the afternoon.
As a result, the coffee spilled on his tablet when he served the good-looking Asian man.
She panicked, afraid that this handsome man would ask her for compensation.
The latest tablet cost more than 1000 USD! If he paid for it, he wouldn't even be able to pay this month's rent!
Fortunately, the handsome Asian man looked like a gentleman and did not hold her responsible.
"Thank you! Thank you very much, sir. Shall I make you another cup of coffee?”
"It's okay, there's no need. I'll drink this cup."
"Okay, I apologize again. I'm really sorry.”
"It's alright…"
Seeing Xuan not pursue the matter, Elizabeth Olsen finally let out a sigh of relief. She turned around and was about to walk back.
"Wait!"
"Eh?" Her mood was like a roller coaster, rising to her throat again as she looked at him anxiously.
What…was he doing?
What Xuan said next was beyond her expectations.
"You're an actor, right? Do you want to make a movie? I have a female lead role…It's currently vacant.”
Xuan smiled faintly. The afternoon California sun shone on his back, making him glow.
"Is he an angel?" Elizabeth Olsen's heart was pounding.
