- Okay. Let's go!

- I love you, durynda!

I really wanted to sleep, and I was skeptical about the idea of ​​casting. Well, I could not believe that even a seedy director from Hollywood might be interested in such a beautiful, but still mediocre girl, like Sveta.

In the morning Sveta put herself in order, put on a “battle” coloring, carefully selected clothes. And I reacted to the upcoming event very cool, deciding not to strain for some kind of casting. I really hoped that no casting would ever take place. I did not want another disappointment to strike Svetka.

Casting took place in a country house. Svetka said that the director for the selection of actors and his working group live there. As well as assistants to the director who pick up the site and nature for the shooting. People really near the house and in the yard were many. Everywhere foreign speech was heard. I understand English well and have heard that people really talk about film related work. I even regretted that I took the casting so lightly. We had to get dressed better.

We were met by a huge man of dark growth. I thought he was a guard. He was very healthy and harsh on the outside. Sveta handed him a piece of paper and the black man smiled.

- OK! Come with me!

My friend and I followed him into the house. He led us along the first floor, and then climbed to the second. There he knocked on some door and when they answered him, he said that a candidate for the role had arrived. He was allowed to miss us.

We entered a small room that looked like a photographer’s workroom. Lighting lamps, reflectors, tripods, cameras. And a lot of light. There were two men in the room. One was plump, gray-haired and with a small beard, about 50 years old. The second was much younger. Slim, even thin, so 25 years old. It was immediately clear that they were not from Russia. It was felt both in clothes and in faces. The first started the conversation fat man.

- Hello! My name is John. I'm the casting director, and this is my assistant, Ronnie.

He spoke quickly, but with very good diction and it was easy for me to understand him. But Sveta, who also taught English, but did not succeed so much in it, understood only the names. I decided to take on the role of translator-referent.

- Good day! And my name is Elena, and my girlfriend - Svetlana.

- Ok, Elena! We have a lot of work, so we will start the work right away! You need to chat with us a little, and then we will make some videos with your participation. If everything goes well and the director approves you, then we will meet with you in three months on the set and conclude a contract. And today, we conclude a contract with you only for casting. Are you ready to work with us and sign a contract?

- No no! Not I will be removed, and my friend - Svetlana. She wants to try.

- OK! Good! Svetlana is ready to sign a contract?

I asked Svetka if she would sign the document for the right to hold the casting.

- What is there in the contract?

I asked for a sample contract for familiarization with John. John nodded and signaled to Ronnie and he brought the folder. John pulled out a piece of paper and handed it to me.

- This is a standard casting contract. It spells out our obligations and rights and yours. In short, you allow you to interrogate, remove and store all the material of our company. And the company undertakes not to use the material without your permission anywhere else, except within the company. If you need copies of casting surveys or you want to withdraw them from the company, then you pay the contractual amount to the company. In turn, the company pays you for the casting money depending on the level of casting.

I, as I could, told all this to my friend.

- They will pay us more? And how much?

- For the initial stage, we pay $ 100.If I consider it important and necessary to direct you to a personal stage, then the company pays you $ 500. If I consider that you can fully interest the company, I invite you to a full casting, and for this the company pays you $ 2,000.

- He said 2000 dollars ?!

- Yes! But this is for some kind of complete casting. And so you only pay $ 100.

- Gosha! Also earn! I agree! Where should I sign?

I told John that my friend agreed to such conditions and was ready to sign a contract. Ronnie handed Svetka a document and showed where to sign.

- OK! Now we can work with you Light! I will talk to you, and you will answer me, and Ronnie will take pictures. And your girlfriend will wait for you in the next room.

“Why can't she stay with me?”

- This is the rule of the company. Unauthorized persons are not involved in the casting. To participate in the casting need a contract. This rule is.

- Pancake. But I can not without Lenka. I do not speak English well and generally feel shy. Can she just be there.

- It is possible, but only if the contract is concluded. No contract - no participation. The rule of the firm.

- Lenka, come on, you will also sign this contract. It will be easier for me. Oh please.

I really did not want to sign anything. But I agreed, because in principle I didn’t intend to participate. John nodded affirmatively.

- I am glad that the issue was resolved so well. $ 100 is a small amount, but it doesn’t just roll on the road.

I thought John was right. Indeed, for a student of 100 dollars a lot of money. You can afford a new pair of shoes or a great weekend.

Svetka was asked to sit on the sofa, and for some time set up the equipment. Then John began to ask her questions, reading them on paper. The questions were very diverse, starting from the date of birth, and the place of study and ending with your favorite books, films and knowledge of politics. Svetka understood some questions herself, some I translated to her and suggested a little. Apparently, precisely because of my prompts, Sveta aroused John’s interest.

- Svetlana, I believe that you may be interested in our company, so I suggest you move on to the next stage. Let me remind you that in this case the company pays you $ 500. Do you agree?

Sveta happily nodded, and from her radiant face it was clear that she was glad of such a development of events.

- Helena. I propose that you proceed directly to the next stage, since I understand that you, too, possess those qualities that may interest our company. Do you agree? I remind you that in this case the company pays you $ 500.

- Does he offer you 500 bucks?

Sveta was completely stunned by such happiness. Another 1000 dollars for two! It is possible even to roll together on the sea. We both dreamed with her to roll away somewhere to Cyprus or Egypt. Now it was becoming real. I, seeing the joy of a friend and not seeing obstacles, agreed.

- Very good girls. We will now take a short break, supplement our equipment, and we need two more assistants. You can drink coffee or juice for now. Everything on that table is for you.

I gladly accepted the offer and almost in one gulp I drained a glass of orange juice. Sveta also suffered from thirst and repeated after me.

- Bliiin! Lenka! Here is a twig! Almost one hundred thousand with you today will earn! But all the business - to sit and answer questions.

- Yeah. Strange somehow all. Although like professionals.

- Of course, professionals. What for amerikosov $ 500? So, for children pocket money.

While Sveta and I rested and restored the water-salt balance in the body, two guys of the same age as Ronnie appeared in the room. They wore only jeans. Their naked torso was amazing. It was clear that the guys are doing fitness. Beautiful pattern of muscles, vigor and grace in movement. They say they are macho or handsome. They seemed to have gone from the pages of glossy magazines or screens ... Read more →
