Chapter 157 Hollywood Beauty
Megan Fox was born in 86. In 99, she participated in the American model competition and won the grand prize.
In 01, he starred in his first movie and officially entered the entertainment industry.
According to the original history, she participated in the filming of "Transformers" in 06, and one shot of her became popular all over the world.
In this world, because Jiang Heng was filming "Pacific Rim", Paramount and DreamWorks started filming "Transformers" in advance, and chose someone else as the female lead, which cut off Megan Fox's chance to become a hit.
At this moment, she is just a nobody in Hollywood, with no resources or background, and can only get some small roles.
Whenever I get the chance I go for auditions everywhere, hoping to become famous one day.
When she read in the newspaper that Jiang Heng, the director of "The Matrix" series, was looking for a female lead in Hollywood, she thought it was an opportunity and hurriedly called Jiang Heng's new company in Hollywood.
After learning the audition location, she put on some light makeup, wore clothes that showed off her sexy body, and took a taxi there.
When we got there, we found that there were so many people there. Looking around, we saw all young and beautiful girls.
Some of them wore short skirts and held makeup mirrors in their hands to touch up their makeup.
Some shared the news with their girlfriends who came with them, saying, "I heard that the director from China still doesn't have a girlfriend!"
"No way, are you still so conservative? Isn't it said that the entertainment industry over there is also very open?"
"Who knows, maybe he doesn't have a stable girlfriend yet!"
"Don't worry, I'll definitely win. The girls over there can't compare to me in terms of sexiness and hotness!"
"There are so many actors in this play, and the others have already been cast. Why did he have to keep the female lead? He must have had that in mind!"
"If I could date him and marry him, I'd be rich. He has a lot of money!"
"If you get married and then divorce, you can depend on him for the rest of your life, and it will be so pleasant to spend the alimony!"
……
By the end of the conversation, the voices of the two people in front had become very low. Megan Fox only heard roughly what they said, but she was not surprised.
In the United States, too many men go bankrupt after divorce and become homeless on the streets.
People like Jiang Heng, who are extremely wealthy and can continue to make a lot of money, are simply like Tang Monk's flesh.
Although girls here rarely date Chinese guys, it’s a different story if they are too rich.
Besides, Jiang Heng is a famous director, and this identity alone is enough to drive these girls crazy.
As a result, Jiang Heng needed to be accompanied by multiple staff members during the audition, otherwise he would be afraid of being sued!
He auditioned several actresses in a row and found many who were not highly paid but were good-looking.
The main reason is that girls in Europe and the United States develop relatively early and often enter the entertainment industry in their teens, playing supporting roles to build connections, and become famous if they choose the right movie in their twenties.
But Jiang Heng was somewhat troubled as to who to choose.
Just when I was struggling with this question, a beautiful girl with a hot body walked in.
Jiang Heng felt that she looked familiar. When he heard the other party introduce her as Megan Fox, he immediately thought of her appearance in "Transformers".
At the same time, the staff conducted an acting assessment on Megan according to the established procedures.
Jiang Heng just watched without saying anything, made a rough judgment in his mind, and used the "super microcomputer" to deduce and generate relevant plot scenes about Megan.
How should I put it, it feels pretty good.
Elliot Page’s acting in the original version was really great, especially when he was killed in his dream by the protagonist’s ex-wife and suddenly woke up with a startled fear, which was particularly real.
But I have to say that her feminine charm is a bit lacking.
Another female character, the male protagonist's ex-wife Mel, is like a madman, and all her scenes are unpleasant, so Jiang Heng had the idea of using Megan to play the female lead. Another point is that because of his appearance, Megan missed "Transformers".
Since you're auditioning with him, give him a chance!
But until the end, Jiang Heng didn't say a word.
The staff just followed the procedure and said please go back first and you will be notified within three days.
Megan Fox smiled and said hello and goodbye, but after leaving the room, her expression turned depressed.
She came from an ordinary family, her parents were divorced, and she started working in a cold drink shop to support herself early on.
Although she has entered the entertainment industry, she cannot get any good resources. Jiang Heng is the most famous director she has ever met.
I was full of joy when I came here, and extremely sad when I left.
I returned to my rented apartment and waited for a whole day but there was no call.
By the next afternoon, there was still no call.
Megan was extremely disappointed because she had to go to the crew of "Teenage Prom Queen" tomorrow to film again.
She played the third female role in this small-budget movie. Perhaps in order to bring out the beauty of the first female lead, the stylist made her look earthy and ugly.
And this is the best role she has ever received since she started acting.
In the previous movie, "Bad Boys 2", she was just a supporting role, the kind that you could not detect if you were not careful.
Her roommate noticed that her expression was not right and asked her what was wrong.
Megan mentioned the audition, and her roommate advised her: "For big productions like that, the important roles must have been selected in advance, and they must be signed artists from big companies. The auditions are just gimmicks. I think you should stop acting and be a model like me. I earn a lot of money!"
Megan said: "I just want a chance, what if I get selected, what if I become famous!"
My roommate sneered, "You're daydreaming. Oh, no, it's dark now. Later you can dream about a big director falling in love with me!" Then he went to the bathroom.
Megan sighed and went to the refrigerator to get a bottle of drink, when she suddenly heard her cell phone ringing.
He almost fell on the sofa, picked up his phone and saw that it was indeed the number he called during the day.
"Hello, is this Miss Megan Fox?"
"Yes, I am, I am!"
"Congratulations, Miss Megan, you have passed the audition. Please come to our company at nine o'clock tomorrow morning to sign the contract!"
"Is this true? Signing a contract to be the female lead in director Jiang Heng's new film?"
"It's true, please be sure to arrive on time!"
"Don't worry, I will definitely be there on time. You can even go tonight!" After saying this, I realized that the other party had hung up.
Megan was so excited that she leaned on the sofa and laughed from ear to ear.
The roommate came out and wondered, "What happened?"
Megan went forward and hugged her roommate, "I got selected, I got selected. I will be starring in the new film by that Chinese director, Jiang Heng. You know him, right? He directed The Matrix 3 and The Devil's Land (Lion Camel Ridge)."
The roommate was shocked. "Selected? Is this true? Is he a liar?"
Megan thought back to Jiang Heng's expressionless and silent performance during the audition yesterday, and she felt a little unsure.
He said in a trembling voice: "It should be, no, it's impossible to make such a joke!"
Seeing Megan's anxiety, the roommate knew that his joke had gone too far, so he said with a smile, "It's probably not a joke. No film and television company would joke about this kind of thing. Maybe the director is shy and didn't say anything after watching your performance. Maybe he's already thinking about falling in love with you!"
