Hollywood What If

Chapter 340

Emilia Clarke was a little surprised that the crew took the importance of someone like her, a nobody. She had no previous work to put on her resume. Fortunately, her appearance seemed to fit the role the crew was looking for.

They gave her scenarios to act out. She read part of the script and did her best. She noticed that the guy in the middle seemed to be interested in her. He kept asking her questions and telling her to do things. Funny enough, she didn't find it uncomfortable.

The man was sincere and serious, he didn't have any hidden motives. At least that was how Emilia saw it... She was actually nervous when the man looked at her seriously. She blushed for some reason and apologized when she blushed.

The woman didn't know anything about Kazir's face. She had just come to the United States and her knowledge about the director was limited. She only knew that Kazir Grey was the most famous and profitable director in Hollywood. Many production studios wanted to buy his scripts or hire him as a director.

Emilia saw Kazir's face in a newspaper, but the guy had a beard, so she couldn't recognize the current Kazir.

'... He's actually handsome.'

Her mind wandered a bit.

"Miss Clarke."Nôv(el)B\\jnn

"Ah? Y- Yes!"

The handsome man said. His authority in the crew seemed to be high, because all nine people in the room, including Emilia, listened to him seriously.

"I'm sorry, sir. I will try my best. I will enroll in an acting class."

"You better do that." The man nodded.

"..." Emilia bit her lip. She changed her mind, the guy was not handsome. He was average at best! Especially with an attitude like that.

"You do understand that the role you're trying to get has nude scenes, right?" Kazir asked again.

"Yes. I want to be an actress and I think I will experience nude scenes anyway, I just decided to do it early in my career." She replied.

For someone like her who didn't have a foundation in the industry, she had to be brave to get what she wanted.

She knew that if she said no, her career in Hollywood would be over. This was her first big break, and she might get the same opportunity in her life again. Especially when Game Of Thrones was funded and produced by Grey Pictures, a big studio. For her career to blossom, she had to let go of her pride... Well, almost every person had to let go of their pride one way or another just to keep their jobs and make money. The world was not sunshine.

In fact, she won't hesitate if that "average guy" tells her to strip naked. She heard that in some auditions, the director would ask the actresses to strip, weather for professional purposes or lust.

This was her first big role and she didn't want to make a mistake and regret it later. She was an adult and could make her own decision.

'If he wants me to have sex with him... I might give it a try.' She thought to herself.

Erm, now that was bit stretch since Kazir was never a fan of casting couch.

"Miss Clarke, why are you blushing?"

"N- Nothing."

"We have your contact number, so we will call you later, ahem... Anyway, can you write your phone number again, please? We are not sure if the contact information in the documents is correct."

Kazir sighed. He was sure that this time he would have to fire the casting director. There might be a rumor that Kazir hated casting directors after this.

"Thank you, sir."

Emilia didn't hesitate and wrote down her number. She didn't have an agent and was only renting a small apartment for three months. If she did not get this role, she might have to find a part-time job or return to England and pursue an acting career there.

After Emilia left, the crew began to talk.

"Kazir, it's obvious you're interested in this girl. Do you see something in her?"

Harold was the first to break the ice. Kazir could spot talent. Technically, he discovered Brianna Evans, Reese Witherspoon, Pedro Pascal, and other new actors that became celebrities because Kazir found them.

"Her acting is passable, but her looks are perfect for the Daenerys Targaryen I'm looking for. That's why."

"We can send her to an acting class if she passes the audition. I know a great mentor who can teach her."

The one who said this was Palenque Simone. Palenque was not yet the official director, as he had one last assignment before he could take the director's position.

His experimental movie was still in progress, but he had to attend this audition for obvious reasons.

"Palenque, what do you think of Emilia Clarke?"

"Her? She's beautiful, I think."

Hollywood was a place where there were many beautiful women. Actresses waiting for their chance at stardom.

Maybe the reason there were a lot of gays in this industry was because there were a lot of beautiful actresses... People got tired of them because they were everywhere.

"Although I respect her last answer. A lot of actresses are against nude scenes. I guess she knows how to recognize opportunity. That's a talent."

Their conversation continued until they had listed three actresses to choose from.

1. Sienna Miller

2. Amy Adams

3. Emilia Clarke

The final decision, however, would always rest with Kazir. At least at the beginning of Season 1, Kazir had the most authority on the project.

"... Let's go with Emilia Clarke."

Kazir muttered, and the people did not turn against their boss. They just trust Kazir at this point, after all the successes he has had in the industry. They believed that Kazir had a reason for casting Emilia Clarke as Daenerys Targaryen.

"I have her number, so I guess I'll be the one to tell her the good news." He shrugged.

After that, he had to head over to ILM to check out the CGI editing on Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl.

...

Emilia slurped down the ramen noodles she bought at the grocery store. Six-packs of ramen noodles for $2 was the most delicious meal for someone like her who was short on cash.

She kept glancing at her Nokia 3310 cell phone, hoping for good news.

"I should probably get a job. Who am I kidding, I'm just a nobody. I'm sure they hired Jessica Alba or some other actress."

Emilia saw a lot of famous actresses as she waited in line in the audition. All of them had starred in at least one movie.

Right after she finished her noodle soup, her phone rang and Emilia jumped in surprise. It was from an unknown number, but she decided to answer it.
