Chapter 68: Two reversals and multiple satisfying endings(2/2)

"Hello, Melanie" stars Amy Aquino, a Broadway theater actress who was temporarily hired to play Tess's new colleague.

After everyone had been filming for several weeks and everyone had achieved a rare tacit understanding, it was very difficult for any actor to be asked to play the last scene. So Ronald found a veteran of the theater stage.

"I brought some salad, it's from Lutes restaurant, we can eat it together during our break." Melanie Griffiths has a very good attitude towards her rival actors.

"Thank you, I have never made a movie before, this is my first time." Amy Aquino is average-looking, with long curly black hair, and looks fairly confident.

"Get ready, we'll start in half an hour." Ronald asked someone to come over and inform them to get ready.

"action!"

Tess walked in from the outside, and the front desk at the door told her that, as before, her location was at the innermost corner.

Amy Aquino was sitting on a chair in her office, with her feet on the window sill and her back to the camera while talking on the phone, "You know, those terrorists don't look very human, they look like half-human creatures...

"

"cut!"

Ronald stopped the filming, and Amy Aquino stood up, looking very nervous. She knew that she had messed up the first shot.

"You did a great job. But now here's something you should know: We have a microphone, a little microphone above your head, so you don't have to worry about us hearing you. Talk like you're on the phone

.”

Aquino looked confused. She had no experience in film acting. She had a microphone at the camera outside the door, so she spoke very loudly for fear of not being heard.

"You know what? You don't have to worry about that. There's a guy hanging a microphone on a boom, and you just make the phone call like you would in real life. Isn't it better for us to make a movie than a play?"

The employee who adjusted the recording pole also smiled. Ronald treated them, the young actors, very gently, and Aquino quickly understood how he should perform.

"action!"

Tess saw a woman talking on the phone inside. She found the secretary's seat outside the door and made a call. She already had experience working for women.

Alice, played by Aquino, noticed the movement, came out to greet Tess, and said, "I was just on the phone inside and didn't hear you come in."

"It's okay." Tess thought the new boss was pretty good.

"Would you like some coffee?" Alice said to Tess.

"Tell me where to get it," Tess immediately answered. It seemed that in her new job, she still couldn't escape making coffee for people.

"I'll get it done, what do you want?" Alice, played by Aquino, seems to be particularly easy to talk to.

"Uh...add sugar, add milk, please...thank you." Tess felt that her new boss Alice at least made a gesture, much better than Catherine. She put down her coat, took out the stuffed rabbit from her bag, and then began to sit down

Organize your desk.

Aquino walked back with coffee with sugar and milk and saw Tess sitting in the secretary's seat outside the office. She asked incomprehensively, "Miss McGill, that's your place."

Point to a separate room in the office and say "inside".

"I don't think..." Tess looked confused.

"Yes, your office is inside, and this is my seat."

"This is the secretary's seat...the secretary sits outside the office," Tess replied.

"Yes, I am the secretary... If possible, I would rather be called the assistant." Aquino said to Tess. After she got used to filming movies, she performed very well.

The two walked into the office, followed by the camera and recording pole.

Assistant Alice told Tess her schedule for today, then pointed to the computer in the corner and said, "Your schedule is all on the computer. You can see it by pressing shift + s."

"When I first came here, I saw you tapping your feet inside and talking on the phone. I thought this was your office." Tess felt that today was an adventure. She had trouble understanding the "junior" position Mr. Teske mentioned.

A big deviation.

"Sorry, I'm sorry, Miss McGill, it won't happen again." Alice, played by Aquino, is obviously a more experienced secretary. She thought Tess would use this to give her power and establish rules.

.

"Maybe now is a good time for you to tell me what you expect from me." Alice took the initiative to ask Tess to tell her her rules.

"It doesn't matter." Tess didn't mind her borrowing her phone. She remembered the rules Catherine had set for her when she saw her for the first time. The purpose was to suppress her self-confidence and prepare for the future exploitation of her labor and brain power.

Prepare.

Now that she is a manager, she faces her own secretary...

"Well, cough..." Melanie Griffith added her lips and cleared her throat. It was her first time as a leader, "I expect you to call me Tess, and I don't expect you to make me coffee unless

You also want to have a drink, um, let’s get along with the rest...ok?"

"Okay." Alice has been working as a secretary for longer than Tess. This is the first time she has met a boss who treats her with equal eyes. In terms of their work, she is in a supportive position, but in terms of personality,

, two people are truly equal.

She showed a sincere smile for the first time, and Alice could tell that Tess was not pretending to talk about equality, but was showing equality through actions, such as addressing her and making coffee.

"I'm right outside. If anything happens, just call me..." She closed the door and went out.

Melanie Griffith saw that her secretary had left and she was left alone in the office. She picked up the phone and called her good sisters...

"Xin, guess where I am now? Haha..."

"cut!"

Ronald was particularly satisfied with Melanie's smile as she achieved her goal after she answered the phone.

After calling a stop, it also means that the film crew has completed all the shots.

"Thank you, thank you everyone. The party is in the evening, I found the best club..."



Everyone applauded and cheered for "Working Girl" to pack up for the filming...

Ronald found Melanie Griffiths alone, "You go to the trailer and wait for me. Ask your manager to go too. I have something to tell you."
