——In this way, you got the contract? Spider-Man’s girlfriend, Mary Jane’s performance contract?

Even though it was not me who actually faced this contract, Charlize, who was lurking in his subconscious, still felt a sense of unreal dizziness. Why is it so simple? What about the second round of auditions? What about the difficulty of casting directors? What about the vague hints of the real-powered figures in the crew such as directors and producers?

Charlize, who had been completely immersed in the play, could not believe that this was true, and subconsciously aroused these doubts, so—

"Why is that simple? As the heroine, don't you need the director to decide by yourself?"

Alexis, who had already stepped into the trap step by step, showed a look of suspicion on his face.

Oh no!!!

When making plans before, Charlotte was most worried about this place. On the one hand, the one who has been walking a hundred steps is half a dozen, and a lasting move is the most dangerous moment; on the other hand, because he really can't find someone to cooperate, the place to sign a contract seems a bit sloppy and completely inconsistent with reality. Originally, Charlotte hoped that Charlotte's acting skills would play a role here, but it seems that Charlotte, who had been performing perfectly before, finally made a mistake. Alexis, who was affected by hallucinations, seemed to realize that something was wrong, and might soon lose control and wake up from the hallucinations.

“Generally speaking, that’s true.”

There was no way, Charlotte, who had once won the title of "Master" at the entrance of the hospital, had to go on stage in person.

"But you have to know that the director you are about to face is James Cameron! A famous tyrant on the set!! In his movies, no one is indispensable except himself! In his movies, whether the male or female protagonists are, they are actually just vases! In his movies, the real protagonist is technology, the unprecedented magnificent special effects, and the shocking industrial scene! For him, it doesn't matter who the male and female protagonists are. As long as the acting skills are enough, the pay will not affect his special effects budget!"

"But……"

Although Charlotte's introduction to Cameron's not sure whether to say it was a compliment or a ridicule was a bit fascinating, it was obvious that Alexis was still a little hesitant.

In fact, Charlotte could probably understand that whether it was Alexis or Charlize, for these girls who were floating in Hollywood, it was common for them to suffer losses and be deceived before becoming famous. This made nine out of ten of them full of doubts about the world, especially when facing possible opportunities for success, they would be more careful. Because they knew that opportunities could be both real opportunities and bait placed in traps. This can be said to be an instinct developed by the small animals at the bottom of the food chain.

Faced with this instinct of doubt, Charlotte saw that the kind-hearted encouragement could not be effective, so he simply did the opposite:

"James believes in me, trust in my judgment, trust in me to help him choose the right actor, then, Alexis, are you doubting me?"

"I, I'm not--"

Just as Alexis was about to subconsciously defend her, Charlotte interrupted her again,

"No, you are just doubting! I know that you women always imagine us who have power. It seems that everything you have given your body is more real than direct recognition and help. Well, I don't deny it. I don't mind some enjoyment, but I also have my own professional spirit. I will choose the people I think are suitable, and then treat everything that comes later as thanks rather than as a bargaining chip. Now, ma'am, I ask again, would you like to play Mary Jane in Spider-Man!? Please don't waste my time, as I said before, no one is indispensable!"

"Of course I do!"

Facing Charlotte's harsh and sarcastic mockery, Alexis was relieved - in her opinion, the world was full of malice, and the meanness of the casting director was more real - she hurriedly took over the contract from the other party and browsed it quickly,

“So little reward?”

"What do you think?"

Charlotte's face was even more sarcastic,

"This is a superhero movie, and the male lead is the key. But even the male lead is the key, because he wears a hood for more than 75% of the time and does not need to show his face, he doesn't need any well-known actors, so he can't even pay the male lead, let alone you are basically the heroine who is a vase? Besides, James spent all his money on technology and special effects..."

"...Okay! I get it."

Alexis had no choice but to accept the reality of super low pay, but if you think about it carefully, even so, this time she was the heroine, and her pay was much higher than those of the previous insignificant little characters - in the end, she signed her own name on the contract.

Alexis Rachel Haydn!

"That's right!"

Charlotte put away the signed contract, and the impatience and mockery on his face immediately faded, and turned into a big smile, as if he had always been kind to others.

"Believe me, Alexis! You made no mistakes, you would become a big star!! But before that, I have to take a photo of you to go through some procedures, or have you brought the photo yourself?"

"photo?"

Alexis looked confused,

"I didn't bring it, but I don't have it on my resume?"

"That's right! But there are still some procedures behind it, and new photos are needed. Okay, no need to worry about it, I'll take a photo for you!"

As he said that, Charlotte picked up an iGood-branded Polaroid camera from the table behind him and pointed it at Alexis who was somewhat restrained.

"Okay, say 'Cheese'!"

“Cheese!”

"very good!"

The flash flashed, and then a "click" sound, and a half-body photo of Alexis spit out from the camera. Seeing this photo, Charlotte shook his head.

"What? Isn't the photo good?"

"That's not. I just think that although this camera from Polaroid is good and instantly available, the problem is that the photo paper is really expensive, and the photos taken like this are not suitable for long-term storage. If this continues, it will sooner or later be replaced by digital camera technology with more development potential."

Speaking of this, Charlotte suddenly patted his head.

"Oh, I'm a self-talking habit again! Sorry, Alexis! By the way, can you sign your name on this photo? I personally have a hobby. Whenever the actors I choose when I choose a role, I will take a photo of them and then let them sign them as a souvenir. When I get old, this is my precious collection. At that time, I will look through these photos like every long-winded old man to see who has become a big star, and then recall the embarrassing things they had during the audition!"

Looking at the colorful photos of herself handed over by Charlotte, Alexis couldn't help but feel dazed. The casting director in front of him was mean and kind for a while, and the contrast between the front and back was really big, which made her at a loss. But on the other hand, her originally full of suspicion also relaxed because of the other party's relaxed attitude.

"for you!"

After all, the other party chose him, so the necessary thanks must not be missed, not to mention that it is not a shameful photo. Alexis finally decided to satisfy the other party's little hobby.

"Thanks!"

Charlotte took the photo and smiled with satisfaction. He took the photo of Alexis signed with the contract, looked at the blonde girl in front of him, and suddenly screamed:

"Alexis Rachel Haydn!"

"Why!?"

Along with Alexis' puzzled response, a violent whirlwind blew again in the room...
