358 Mental Defense Line

Looking at Emma who was still childish in front of her, Lans suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of joy. ~

After years of development, the Hollywood industry has gradually formed a self-system. Even the phenomenon of unspoken rules rampant in the early years has been strongly controlled. Now, if an actor wants to get ahead through unspoken rules, he must go through many obstacles such as directors, casting directors, producers and union agents. It is by no means easy; vice versa, which also avoids the dark side of the industry to the greatest extent. Moreover, in order to protect the interests of actors, the union spares no effort, and in this case, the regulations on nude/exposed are harsh.

According to the regulations of the Actors Union, an actor or a stand-in must sign a "Naked/Exposed Disclaimer" before performing nude/exposed scenes. This statement is not just an actor's pre-declaration of voluntarily performing nude/exposed and bed/plays, but must also include a description of the degree of nude/exposed or physical contact, ensuring that filming within the scope of acceptance of the actor in accordance with the agreement reached by both parties during the subsequent shooting process.

Of course, if an actor repents after signing the statement and the law also allows them to withdraw the statement, the producer will directly send a substitute to the stage. Without the consent of the actor, even a substitute cannot appear casually - because it may cause the audience to illusions or misunderstandings.

In addition, due to the particularity of the fruit body or bed/play, in order to avoid being used by others and spread to the actors, the actors will strictly stipulate the extent to which these scenes are filmed. Except for the main actors and staff, the scene shall not be disclosed to any party. No one is prohibited from taking stills of these scenes without the prior written permission of the actor. Sometimes, in order to prevent the producer from using the performance clips of the naked/exposed or bed/play scenes in other places, the actors will even support relevant prohibition clauses to prevent all this, and the producers are prohibited from using them anywhere outside the main film, even in the main film. The actors also enjoy the right to review the fruit footage.

It can be seen from this that the strict regulations of the actors' union are absolutely unimaginable for the European film industry. With the grasp and grasp of scale, European films are far more open than Hollywood.

So, if Jessica refuses to shoot naked/showing scenes, Lance is completely helpless, which is also Jessica's confidence. Of course, there are also new actors in Hollywood. In order to get ahead, they dare nodded in agreement, but after all, they are still a few. Taking "Fifty Shades of Gray" released in 2015 as an example, although this is a soft/love/sex movie, there are many large-scale scenes, and very few actresses are willing to play; but even so, Dakota-johnson's naked/showing scenes in the movie are still very limited.

The same situation is almost strictly prohibited in Hollywood. Due to the involvement of minors, the cumbersomeness of relevant legal provisions will rise by several levels. Someone once joked that if Stanley Kubrick came to film "Lolita" now, he would definitely give up directly because of the cumbersomeness.

Therefore, it is almost impossible to see large-scale shots of minors in Hollywood movies, and even involve minors' works. The subject matter and genre have become limited. Naturally, what Emma is worried about is simply impossible.

However, the smile just gently tugged at the corner of his mouth. Lance quickly suppressed the fluctuations of his emotions, and still maintained a professional and polite expression. He said in a deep voice, "No." He answered concisely and clearly, without even too much explanation. He seemed not to want to have too much conversation with Emma.

This is true, Lance doesn't want to have too much friendship with Emma.

In the past, for Lance, Emma was just a child without attacking power - of course, she is still a child now. So Lance's attitude is always more tolerant, and even reveals his true side inadvertently. For example, when I talked at Santa Monica Beach last time, the child was always different to him; but now the situation is different. Since that night, Emma saw that deal, which was the real him, the dark and cruel reality. He knew how powerful this was for Emma, ​​who was still a child, and he also knew how terrible his behavior was for most people with correct views. He could even portray the fear in Emma's eyes, so things were no longer the same.

Instead of waiting for Emma to retreat and repulse, Lance chose to hide himself, carefully hiding his true self, and built layers of defense around him grandly and cautiously, building an indestructible fortress. After experiencing Diorama Film, trust has become a luxury for Lance.

So, Lance put away his tolerance and familiarity, put on the mask again, and placed Emma in the same position as everyone else.

Emma looked at Lance seriously. She could feel the change in Lance's attitude, but unfortunately, she could not detect the true emotions under the mask. Lance was like an impeccable disguise, leaving no gaps, so that Emma had to doubt her judgment, as if in front of her was a strange and cold, gentlemanly and alienated partner, without extra friendship, no extra emotions, no extra changes... like a robot.

This made Emma feel a little frustrated. She wanted to explore the truth, but she was helpless.

She knew that if it were the past, Lance would have joked with herself that she had thought too much and might even give a look of disgust; but now, there was only one answer, a serious answer, as if he hadn't realized that she was joking.

Emma pulled the corner of her mouth and tried to show a smile. Unfortunately, the smile was too bad, and she looked awkwardly like a puppet. "That's good, then... I'm relieved." Emma laughed dryly and replied awkwardly. "So, is the audition over? Don't you need me to perform anything? Or show my talent?"

Lance's mouth twitched invisibly, and he couldn't help but think of talent display stages such as "American Idol" or "American Got Talent". It was full of joy, but the words did not stop at all. "No need." The answer seemed a bit too simple. Lance thought for a while and added, "Sebastian brought me your video."

Today's audition mainly depends on the linkage between Emma and Jessica, and the two people have some basic understanding of the role. Now, Jessica's acting skills are very average, and she is more suitable for a vase-style role; on the contrary, Emma brought unexpected surprises. Although she was only fifteen years old, it can be seen that she has her own understanding of performance.

So, next Lance will give them some time to prepare, and also try out other actresses to see if they need a second audition, or make a decision directly.

Emma nodded and pursed her lips nervously, "That's the best performance I'm already in. I hope it can meet the requirements." The slightly joking words made people laugh, but unfortunately, Emma still didn't see any changes in Lance's expression. She let out a sigh of frustration, then took a deep breath, and cheered up her drooping shoulders, "Then, that's what's going on today's audition. I'll read the script well after I go back, and hope to win this role." Emma glared and said sarcastically, then stood up, "Goodbye...Mr. Strello," Emma hesitated for a moment, and finally chose this title, "It's my honor to be able to see you!"

After saying that, Emma stretched out her right hand, as if she was really the first time she met.

Lance's eyes locked on Emma's face, paused for about half a second, then stretched out his right hand, politely held it, and immediately let go.

Emma did not stop anymore, turned around and walked towards the direction where Sebastian was. Lance looked at Emma's back, paused for two seconds, then lowered her eyes, covered her eyes, and buried all her emotions in the fog. Emma secretly turned her head, and then saw Lance lowering her head to sort out the script, not paying attention to her actions at all. The loss in her heart was like the bleak autumn wind, blowing gently by.

Cole left the position, nodded at Emma with a smile, crossed it, and walked towards Lance; while Sebastian greeted Emma and asked in a low voice, "How is the audition feeling? Will Lance be very strict? I have heard before that he has never shown any mercy in his professional aspects, and even Tom was scolded so much that he could not speak."

Emma withdrew her gaze and couldn't help but smile, some mockery and bitterness - even Sebastian thought Lance was a strict person, and it seemed that everyone had the impression of Lance. So, was it her wrong judgment? Are all those thoughts her illusions? Her previous thoughts were correct, and Lance was indeed a demon?

"No, we just communicated with the character, and then he left homework." Emma's tone returned to lightness, and she said with a smile, "Now, whether I can get this character depends on the effect of the homework." Looking at the concerns on Sebastian's face, Emma patted his arm and comforted him, "My age is a little older than the character's requirements. At the beginning, we didn't have hope? But now it's different, at least I have won the opportunity."

At the end of the words, Emma was blessed to her heart. She suddenly realized that in the brief conversation just now, Lance seemed to have seen her efforts and talent. Is this also her illusion? Emma turned her head again, and then saw that only Cole was left in the position. In just this short time, Lance disappeared. Emma looked around in a panic, trying to find Lance in the coffee house, but she failed.

"... Emma, ​​Emma!" Sebastian's voice pulled Emma back, "Are you okay?"

Emma shook her head and wanted to retract her attention, but found that she had no choice. "I need to go out and come back soon." After that, Emma turned around and ran towards the gate, leaving Sebastian standing alone, confused.
