The Pre-Shoot
I like story-telling and heres one Ill make up as I go. I dont like the idea of having to stay on the same story for many chapters.. but do give me your feedback :) ForewordId been training and taking acting classes for years now, and Ive been waiting for my "big break" as youd call it in America or my "debut."2 months ago, I was finally told by the CEO at our company that the managers and him think Im ready for the world, and theyd booked me for a new movie where I was going to play "the other woman" to the main leads.Goddamit. My first gig, and Im playing a damn mistress. But still, a gig is a gig.I wasnt told who I was going to act alongside - which didnt really matter much. I was too nervous by the plot to worry about being nervous about who the big star is I was going to have to see everyday, with jelly knees. I supposedly had a kissing scene (yes, on my first ever acting stint) and then I die before half the movie is over. Basically, the movie is about looking for my murderer. Im kind of the main character, then? LOL. A dead one. Sure.The movie was to begin its shoot in a few months, and they were having a Pre-Shoot get-together. Now, I didnt exactly know that a "get-together" meant a damn expensive ball with wine, champagne and lots and lots of beautiful people in expensive branded dresses and suits.Bollocks. I dont have any expensive dresses - Im a freaking trainee! We get peanuts as an allowance! Worse, I cant afford a W2,000,000 dress, Im going to start paying back my training fees soon! Ill go bankrupt before I earn my first W1,000 ($1)!I called So Yu and whined to her on the phone about my dress, and the whole ball. She empathised, and told me that her mom actually owns a few Vera Wang dresses and that shed hook me up with one. Score!!!Her mom picked me a long midnight blue dress that merely scraped the floor. It was cinched at the waist, and had a bare back. The soft flowy material left little to imagination. The sleeveless dress was just.. perfect for words! I thanked her mom by baking her a huge Red Velvet cake with Nutella in the centre.My newly-assigned manager was to drive me to the ball in one of the company cars.Oh this is it. Im finally debuting........
