Capítulo 12: Chapter 12: The Mad Stranger
In fact, with this contract, Jenny at least doesn't have to work two jobs in a row day and night, the waiter is an unpredictable industry, and if she doesn't go to work for a week, at most, the rest of the waiters will work two more shifts, or find a part-time worker to help. Based on Jenny's looks and popularity, there's no way Johnny could fire her just because she's taken a week off.
But she insisted on working the night shift, not mainly for that paycheck, or even to keep Johnny from being too hard, but ...
In the second interrogation room scene, George also has a certain degree of forgetting words, so that it is already more than five o'clock after the play, Jenny takes off her makeup and changes clothes, and Dave hurriedly drives her to the restaurant, which is already two hours late, but Johnny does not blame her for anything, but tells her that there is no problem with being late for two hours, and she can leave early after waiting for less, but the corresponding is that her basic salary has been cut in half.
Jenny has no opinion on this, she has misestimated the fatigue of filming, and in the acting space, she does not feel physically tired. At most, there is only the mental fatigue brought by continuous plays, and although she only filmed two scenes today, what she didn't expect was that she couldn't rest during the waiting period, and in order to keep the dress from wrinkles, she was even more tired than serving in a restaurant.
Then another six-hour shift followed, and in the end Jenny was almost supported by willpower, and as soon as the busiest hour of supper was over, she immediately greeted Johnny and got off work.
Dave had been waiting for her in the dining room, refusing to leave no matter how much she insisted, and instead of letting Jenny walk home, he drove her downstairs.
Jenny was so tired that she fell asleep in the car, and woke up as soon as the car stopped. "Arrived?"
"It's here. Dave said, looking at her gently, "Go up and rest, you'll have to get up early tomorrow—I'll pick you up for breakfast." "
That's why Jenny needs to work the night shift, if there is no night shift, Dave will take her to dinner, and then everything will go naturally, there is nothing she can do to stop Dave from confessing without hurting him, and she doesn't want to refuse Dave now.
If this is exploitation, she can admit it calmly. Jenny is still sticking to her bottom line, she doesn't want to sleep with Dave, not only because she has no hobby for selling her body, but also because it's an insult to Dave's character - if he's the kind of producer who is obsessed with sex and obviously aims at her beauty, she doesn't mind hanging him from the ground and kicking him off after she has absorbed enough benefits for herself, and she won't have any psychological burden. It's because Dave is so sincere to her that she keeps avoiding the moment of trying to see her, not only because she needs Dave as a friend, but also because she is reluctant to hurt her.
What can make her conscience a little more reassuring is that she actually likes Dave very much - after her ex-husband, Chen Zhen has no infatuation with Gao Fushuai, thinking that when her ex-husband appeared in the film academy, he was also a perfect man with a net worth of hundreds of millions, chic and handsome, gentle and considerate, and later it turned out that the essence of a person has little to do with whether he is rich and handsome. Dave's dedicated, genuine, shy personality is followed by a somewhat clumsy humor, and if it weren't for the fact that her situation is so special, she really wouldn't mind continuing with him.
But now she doesn't have this time, Chen Zhen really doesn't have this time, for a girl who is aiming for the pinnacle of Hollywood, the relationship with Dave will be a great waste.
Jenny was sleepy-eyed at this time, and she didn't have any extra energy to feel guilty, she thanked Dave, and then hobbled up to the fourth floor, and fell asleep on the bed without taking a shower when she entered.
The next morning, Dave actually came to pick her up and go to breakfast with her, and sat in the breakfast shop, smelling the delicious smell of sugar and oil, seeing the guests' teeth happily sinking into the doughnut, and the oily, salty smell of bacon with omelette, Jenny's stomach literally burned with pain. The thought of shooting in front of her for more than ten hours, and the six-hour shift at night, she really had a strong and thirsty desire to eat even a bite of a cake with high sugar and salt, no matter how mediocre the taste, just to taste the sweetness of happiness and the fragrance of starch—
"Black coffee, a chicken salad, no sauce," she finally ordered only her old pairing, only to add after hesitation, "Add me half a vinaigrette, thank you." "
Dave asked for bacon with omelette, chocolate muffins and mocha coffee, and orange juice. Jenny stared at his breakfast, and really, really began to understand why big stars were usually bad-tempered.
But she can't eat more, because of the relationship between filming and work, she didn't exercise at all yesterday, which is already a loss for muscles, and if she eats food with excessive calories, it will be a disaster.
"Would you like a bite?" Dave asked, perhaps sensing her expression, as the muffins were served.
It's really a lot harder to say no to this muffin than to say no to Dave's future courtship.
Jenny closed her eyes and said with great difficulty, "No, thank you." "

Filming in the crew is not like what many laymen think, everything is shot completely according to chronological order, because it is indoor shooting, most of the relationship between the scenes, the CSI crew uses the shooting of the set as a unit, yesterday in the 'party scene' filmed a few scenes, and also finished the interrogation room, today's drama is in the fashion hard photo shooting site of Huanita, and there are several rival scenes with a span of shooting time. Nick, played mostly by George, plays against her, and the actress barely appears.
Jenny was also relieved: to be honest, after Dave's warning yesterday, she was still worried about some on-set bullying incidents. When the two were in the trailer yesterday, Dave also told her a lot of rules on the set, in this kind of serial scene, the main actors are like the prince and the child, unless they offend the high-ranking screenwriters and producers, otherwise even the director can be Bully at will, let alone her make a small cameo, unless she is impatient, otherwise even if she is bullied in front of everyone, others will treat it as not seeing, so as not to lose her job.
Fortunately, there are only two women in the main actors of CSI, and they don't take the beauty route, they are more professional, and George, who plays with her, has a girlfriend who has a good relationship, and more importantly, she is not very interested in the play. Gary, the Joarick actor who is very sexy to her, didn't even have a rivalry with her, and Gary was also filming a green screen scene in the studio next door during their filming. So whether it is bullying from actresses or harassment from male actors, it is not a problem for Jenny to consider now.
In addition, George may have adjusted his acting methods after going back yesterday, and today's filming progress is much smoother than yesterday, Nick was fascinated by Canita, but tried to maintain her reserve and dignity, and Huanita was like a cat and mouse to Nick, and Nick's addiction and struggle made her feel funny. - This kind of relationship full of tension, once it is performed and the tone is set, then all that remains is to memorize the lines, and neither of them will have any problems with this.
In the afternoon, she was called to the green screen room to start filming some solo scenes, which was easier for Jenny, plus she changed her costume, which was not so close-fitting, and she could be casual when she rested, and she didn't have to worry about wrinkles in her clothes. So even though the shooting session was full, the overall feeling was a little more relaxed than yesterday, and I felt like I was getting used to the atmosphere. ——Although the performing arts space can simulate a very real set, there is a gap between simulation and reality.
It was also on this day that the set crew began to show obvious interest in being friends with her, including Emma Swan, who came over to sit with Jenny and Dave during lunch, and pulled Lynch to introduce each other and leave phone numbers with Jenny.
On the third day, George invited her to a party, and Jenny told him that she had to work in the restaurant at night and that she didn't have time, which George regretted. And Jenny realized that this should be a promising performance, and there were many people who wanted to be Emma Swan.
In other words, they are all optimistic about her future performance in Hollywood, so they will invest in friendship now. In Hollywood, relationships are sometimes more important than competence, and this should be the instinct of almost all insiders.
But Jenny didn't get socially addicted to it, yes, everyone wanted to be friends with a potentially promising actress. But for an actress, the friends who can make her go further are more worth investing in.
After all, it was just an episode of a serial drama, and the filming went smoothly, and by the fifth day, Jenny's scene was basically over, and her role in the past two days was also very heavy, because the set of the murder scene was designed, and she had to shoot a lot of murder scenes, as well as the rivalry scene during the audition, that is, the last dialogue between Nick and Huanita in this episode was also scheduled to this day.
Based on the consideration of makeup, the filming was reversed, that is, the last dialogue was placed in the first scene, and George closed his eyes before the start of filming to build himself psychologically, "You can do it, you will never forget the words again." "
Jenny couldn't help but laugh, "Is it really that exaggerated?"
"Don't you feel it yourself?" said George seriously, "you were a different person when you went into the play, that kind of temperament - I don't know what to say, but I can only say, fortunately you are a completely different performance under the play." "
Instead of answering George's question, Jenny interjected, "Then again, do you like Marilyn Monroe very much?"
George was a little confused, but replied, "yes? I'm an absolute fan of her, and I've watched the Seven Year Itch many times." Although it looks a little outdated now, her demeanor overrides everything. "
Yes, this makes it clear why George is so confused that he can even forget his lines, while others at most think she is acting very well. Jenny said, "I like her too, so I imitate some of her little movements in the play, and maybe that's why you think I'm charming in the play." "
George suddenly realized, "I see. "
He asked, "Are you sure this is your first time in the theater?
Jenny immediately thought of four years of acting classes, countless exercises in the acting space...
"Nope. She said firmly, "I don't really know how well I'm acting." "
"You don't know how you're acting, hehehe. George seemed to have heard some big joke, "Please, don't you really know why Emma and the others are so enthusiastic about you?"
"Well, it might be a bit pretentious to continue pretending. Jenny shrugged her shoulders and said half-truthfully, "But I don't really know why, I mean, I don't know where my next character is yet." "
"Sometimes you have to be a little patient. "Remember my party invitation—it's always worked, I think in two months, and when the first episode comes out, your phone will definitely be flooded, and don't forget me then." After that, you'll definitely be free to party. "
This is the same line of thinking as Jenny, who also feels that her career turnaround should come after the broadcast of CSI201.
Seeing that the cameras were probably in place and the director could shout 'Action' at any time, she suddenly had a bit of a prank mind, and called out "A Week with Monroe" in her heart, and chose the role to empathize with herself.
"Hey, baby. Jenny lowered her voice, her eyes wandering, and she glanced at George with a smirk, "Don't think I'll forget your offer so easily. "
George's stunned frustration succeeded in pleasing her, she disempathized and bent over to laugh, George blushed and punched Jenny, "You're so bad." "
Hearing that the venue staff was shouting to clear the venue, and then stepped forward to play the board, the two quickly adjusted their emotions and expressions, and returned to the state of professional performances.

In the last rival scene, the tension between Huanita and Nick was strong, and they were full of firepower from each other, and Nick counterattacked for the first time and grabbed some initiative in front of Huanita, which gave her a little sense of crisis. This is also a scene with a lot of lines, but maybe because of the joke Jenny and George made, his mentality was very relaxed, almost once, but the director took it a few more times for the effect. After the filming, everyone seemed to be relieved.
After this scene, there was a set where the CSI team was going to investigate, and Jenny was fine until lunch, and when she happily searched for Dave in the crowd, she found Dave and Lynch standing in the corner of the set, as if arguing with a third person.
She hurriedly picked up the hem of her skirt and walked over, "Guys, what's wrong?"
When she got closer, she realized that the third man was the middle-aged man she had seen on the day she tried on makeup to show the producer. He was bald and slightly chubby, and there was a striking birthmark on his sideburns, so Jenny remembered it well. He looked at her at the end of the corridor that day, and judging by his expression, he was completely captivated by her, and she was amused and couldn't help but smile at him.
Uh, could it be that she was very interested in her, so I came to see her filming, and planned to come up and talk to her after filming, and spend money to get close to her, right? Jenny was thundered by her own thoughts, but she also knew that it was not impossible, after all, ... Let's be honest, she's beautiful and young, and those two things are enough to attract bees and butterflies at any time.
But even if he had this intention, how did Dave know about it? What were the three of them arguing about? Could it be that Dave wanted to kick him out? Jenny couldn't help but have a little headache: great, this is what she needs, the first job will usher in the set of jealousy.
Seeing her approaching, the third person's voice became louder, "Lynch, this girl doesn't have an agent, she's free now, I can talk to her myself—I don't see any position on your friend to stop her." "
He glanced at Jenny and said viciously to Dave, "If it's for her good, why stop it!"
Dave seemed to have been hit hard, and his face actually showed pain.
"What the hell is going on?" asked Jenny, confused. She walked over to Dave, "Hey, are you alright?"
Dave shook his head and smiled frustratedly, he hesitated for a moment, and actually took the initiative to introduce Jenny, "Jenny, this is Jim Davidson. "
"Jenny Jane Jefferson. Jenny reached out and shook Jim's hand, "I remember you, we met the day I came to try on makeup." "
"Yes. Jim glared at Dave again, he straightened his suit as if he wanted to be as neat as possible, "I'll make sure you don't have an agent yet, do you?"
"Yes. Jenny was confused. "May I ask who you are?"
"Okay," Jim's eyes lit up, and he interrupted her without saying a word. "You come with me now, Cesare is going to the East Coast in the afternoon, and we only have three hours. "
"Cesare?I—" Jenny was a little frightened by his fervor, and reflexively leaned towards Dave. But Lynch stepped forward and grabbed her shoulders.
"This is your chance," he said, "there's no time to explain, Jim is a credible person, Jenny, you don't know what kind of opportunity you're getting now, I'll say a word to you, take the chance, Go get it, understand? Now you go with him, just come back before lunch, and I'll explain it to the crew." "
Jenny hurriedly looked back at Dave, who was still standing still, and when he saw the look she cast, he smiled very hard and nodded at her.
Jim had trotted out of sight, and after a while, he drove a Porsche 911 to the door of the studio, shouting, "Get in the car." "
Jenny looked back again, and Lynch and Dave were already standing together, both gesturing to her to go faster, and Lynch shook his fist at her, signaling her to cheer.
She took a deep breath, lifted the hem of her skirt, and slipped into the sports car through the scorching California sun.
"Where are we going?" she asked, fastening her safety belt.
Jim glanced at her, obviously excited, and as soon as he was sure that Jenny was fastened his seatbelt, he immediately started the engine before softly spitting out a few words.
"Century City, CAA Headquarters. "
The sports car popped out like an arrow and quickly disappeared at the end of the asphalt road.
