One day passed quickly. In a larger manor, the two girls and the film crew met Lynch.
There was an artificial lake in the manor. The place where Lynch was held was also under strict supervision by the Federation's judicial organization. This was because a very special person was being held there. He was a lieutenant general of the Federation.
The lieutenant general was not involved in Lynch's affairs. Although he was a little curious, he did not interfere.
"Lynch...!"
As soon as she saw Lynch, Penny shook off her agent and rushed towards Lynch like a little wild horse. She even tripped on the way, but she got up and continued running.
When she ran to Lynch's side, her face was full of tears. She looked like a little girl who was abused by her stepmother.
As she spoke, she began to sob, "Look at my hair, it's all because of that b * tch. My scalp is all red!"
Lynch glanced at it. It was a little red, but that was normal. In the Federation, the girls' fights were not as "lethal" and "professional" as those street gang members.
Their main methods were to pull their hair and tear their clothes. They would often pull each other's hair as they fought, wanting the other to let go. However, they were too embarrassed to open their mouths and expose their weakness. In the end, they turned into two entangled statues.
"Lynch only looked at it for a moment before looking away."
Penny looked at him in disbelief. "I was beaten up. Are you not going to say anything?"
Lynch turned to look at her again. "Your emotions are on point, and your performance is also very appropriate. However, your psychological position is a little too mature."
"To be honest, you look like a shrew who lost a fight, not a 19-year-old girl."
"You have to..." Lynch thought about how to describe it. "Like a 19-year-old girl. You have to show your grievances and force a smile to show that everything is fine."
"You know, men are always full of pity for weak things. You are too scary."
"Finally, clean up your tears and stand aside. I still have work to do."
Penny was stunned. She suddenly felt that Lynch knew a lot about acting.
Aggrieved?
Her position in the film industry was higher than Nelly's. She was closer to Lynch than Nelly was. The time she had known Lynch and the number of times she had been intimate with him in the media was more than Nelly's.
Not to mention that she was more ruthless than Nelly when it came to fighting. Nelly more or less had to consider Penny's advantages in all aspects. But for Penny, as long as she could not beat her to death, she would beat her to death.
Nelly was the one who suffered the real loss, not her. She was just acting out of habit. Lynch saw through her hypocritical performance at a glance.
The director originally thought that he had nothing to do today, but he was quickly called over by Lynch. They discussed for a long time, about forty to fifty minutes.
During this time, two scriptwriters drew some storyboards on the spot. In the end, they fully expressed the emotions that Lynch wanted to show.
An hour and a half later, Lynch appeared in a fitness center in Boone with two girls.
Although it was called a fitness center, it was actually more like a place to learn fighting skills.
The curator of the fitness center was a fighting master who was proficient in a variety of fighting skills. He had also served as a hand-to-hand instructor for the Sealand Marine Assault Team for a period of time.
Later, he might have felt that he could not achieve his dream in the Sealand Marine Assault Team, so he left to open such a fitness center.
He helped people maintain their health and at the same time found some outstanding students, trained them to become fighting masters, and let them participate in various fighting competitions.
What Lynch needed was the professionalism here. Because of the appointment in advance, there were no extra guests or coaches in the fitness center today, only the curator himself and some of his students.
Just when Penny and Nelly were still confused about what was going on, Lynch asked a female student to take them and their assistant to change.
About twenty minutes later, the two girls stood in the ring in a daze.
There were three cameras next to them. At this time, Lynch finally stood up.
"Don't you like to fight?"
He had an indescribable smile on his face. "Now I'll give you a chance to fight fiercely in the ring."
The two girls were attracted by the first half of Lynch's sentence, so they didn't think much about it.
"Wait, why do we have to fight?"
This kind of question could only be asked by Penny. Nelly always had an obedient attitude. In her relationship with Lynch, she didn't take the initiative.
She didn't even take the passive position. She was more like a person who stood on the street and stuffed promotional pages into the hands of passersby.
No, she was the colored page that had been shoved out. She also had the thoughts that only colored pages would have. She felt that she could be abandoned at any time, so she didn't dare to have too many "I think" and "I think".
On the contrary, Penny was more free. She was young, thick-skinned and bold. These were her characteristics.
But now she was a little confused. She was a few years younger than Nelly, which meant that she was behind Nelly in terms of physical fitness. If they really had to fight …
She was afraid that she would be beaten to tears. She didn't want to lose face.
"This is an advertisement, an advertisement every moment …"
"And you'll have a very generous income, at least two hundred thousand …" He pointed at Penny and then at Nelly. "Fifty thousand."
This money was equivalent to starring in a film. They were now qualified to be the leading actress, and it was the highest salary under the top production.
This kind of work was not so easy to appear. More of them were the kind of projects that paid about 100,000 yuan.
Penny was quite famous, but compared to the real top actresses, she still had a long way to go.
Didn't you hear what they called her?
"The representative of young actresses!"
Young meant that she was inexperienced, which meant that her status in the industry was not high enough. She still had a long way to go before she could reach the threshold of 200,000 yuan. At the very least, she had to win a few best actress awards, right?
There was no need to talk about Nelly. She had only filmed one movie and hadn't been released yet. Fifty thousand yuan was already too much for Lynch to reduce. After all, in his eyes, twenty or thirty thousand yuan was no different from a few thousand yuan. It was almost zero.
He couldn't let them work for nothing, and these advertisements were going to break their usual image.
After listening to Lynch's brief introduction of the necessity of these advertisements, the two girls fell silent.
Obviously, they couldn't refuse, especially Penny.
If it was someone else who asked them to do this, Penny would throw a tantrum and refuse. But if it was something that suited Lynch, if they wanted to see Lynch in the future, they had to do it.
Penny stopped throwing a tantrum. The director and the stage supervisor talked to the two girls on the stage.
In fact, there was no plot at all. There were no lines at all. They just started fighting.
There were no doubles and no fake positions. This was said to the media and the audience. When it was time to use a double, they still had to use a double. When it was time to use a double, they still had to use a double.
In this society, packaging was a very profound knowledge.
Just like a sissy who had played a tough guy all his life, every time the reporters asked his family, they would say that he was like a hero in real life.
But as they said this, what flashed through their minds was the image of the sissy movie star screaming in front of a mouse, crying bitterly as he cut a hole with his finger.
Another example was a star who claimed that he would never use a double. He was caught using a double many times. Anyway, he didn't care what the media and public said. He just insisted that he didn't use a double.
Lynch could also say this to society. Without a double, why would two girls in their twenties beat each other up in the ring?
People would be attracted by this advertisement. This was what he needed.
Not only did he solve the conflict between the two girls, but he also filmed a series of advertisements. It was perfect.
Then the first round began. The two girls stood in the ring and looked at each other.
According to the director, they should start now. But neither of them seemed to be in the mood, or they were not used to such a "real" performance.
At this moment, Penny suddenly made a throat-slitting gesture. The nature of this gesture was very bad.
In the Federation gang culture, all kinds of gestures were not just one kind of gesture. Every year, because some young people made the wrong gesture on the wrong street at the wrong time, it happened from time to time that a rival gang came to pick a fight.
Some people even paid the price for their reckless behavior.
This was a very ritualistic action. It wasn't just a gesture, but a declaration of war that wouldn't end until one of them was dead!
The director's eyes lit up. The camera was very good. The cameraman was also an elite in the industry. The three cameras captured Penny's arrogance very well.
The next second, Nelly rushed out.
From childhood to adulthood, no one had ever treated her like this.
In the small town where she came from, she was the most beautiful girl. Everyone was proud to be friends with her and to be able to say a few words to her.
But after coming to Boone, she realized that she thought she was the center of the world, but that was only because the world was too small.
In the real world, she was nothing.
That strong sense of frustration, the despair and powerlessness brought by the two completely different experiences, and finally the killing of her own naive fantasy. She used to be so proud, but now she had been silently enduring it.
At this moment, she couldn't bear it anymore.
Unprecedented determination and anger became the driving force of her body. She ran faster than she did in physical education class. Her folded arm was aimed at Penny's face, and she punched out fiercely.
Before the shoot, they had considered the fact that the two girls already had conflicts, and that they might really be provoked by each other. Therefore, their protective gear and gloves were all heavy.
Heavy was not the weight, but the cushioning ability.
When the punch came out, Penny had already closed her eyes tightly in fear, but she didn't seem to feel the pain that she couldn't bear.
She began to fight back.
