Chapter 472
The forms reached the American Actors Association by post . The staff opened them one by one . After getting approved and verified, they would be filed .
The association had the largest actor database in the US and played an important role among film firms, investors and producers .
Films of all kinds and classes could find the right actors in the database, to which the resume-collecting staff contributed a lot .
Female staff had an advantage at work, as the requirements were cautiousness and tolerance when handling complicated paperwork . There were five women working in that section amid a harmonious, relaxed atmosphere .
"Work is coming . . . "
Bang! A strong black woman set a large box down on the desk . "Come on, sweethearts!"
The other women gathered around and took the papers away .
Most of them were junior applications . They would just register them in the system for the other departments to sort them out .
Some of them just updated older profiles, like Qin Guan's . Actors would renew their data when they got an important role in a film with a big budget, showed up in a famous TV program, or won an award in a competition .
Those were all reasons for an update . The staff just registered in the system according to the regulations .
"Name . . . Qin Guan . . . Registered or not . . . Yes . Wow! Another update . Good for him!"
Some actors stumbled upon a chance by luck, but their value still increased in the circle .
There were hundreds of thousands of actors registered in the association, plus some who did not qualify . Among all those actors, only few could become famous .
Martha's colleagues gathered around her curiously .
"Who is he? Let's have a look . Maybe he is our idol . . . "
"Here he is!" Martha opened Qin Guan's original documents in the system .
His photos were displayed on the screen . The Asian actor was really handsome .
"Wow! It's him! I know him . He was the victim of fake news . "
"He was the Best Actor Award winner at Cannes!"
That explained why he wanted to update his resume . His value would increase greatly thanks to the award .
After reading his resume, the ladies fell silent .
"He must be very talented . It’s a pity that . . . "
"It’s a pity that he is Asian . He doesn’t have any experience in American commercial films . "
"Yes . I watched his film . He’s got good acting skills . An indie film though . . . The box office was average . "
They exchanged a glance and then returned to their seats gloomily . The pile of paperwork before them seemed boring now .
Martha updated Qin Guan’s resume calmly and found his original documents in a case .
"Hey, Martha!" Another girl, who was interested in Qin Guan, called out .
"What class of film could he get according to industry standards?"
Martha didn't reply . She just typed on the keyboard . Two minutes later, she said, "C level . "
"What? Impossible! That's too low for him . " The ladies were aggrieved . Qin Guan was well-known by then .
"That's true . " Martha was still busy with work . "The actor association relies on popularity and achievements . He’s only made one film . All his work was in China, so he is still at D level . He might have won the Best Actor award, but he has never acted in an A level film . Besides, he has never been a leading actor in an indie or commercial film, or gotten considerable box office success . It's natural for him to be classified at C level . "
"Hollywood and America are commerce-oriented . Plus, his skin color explains that classification . "
Her response was reasonable . The other girls fell silent . Only the clicks of their keyboards were heard in the room .
Martha sighed again . She put a "C" on the paperwork and filed it .
"The most famous Asian actors in Hollywood are Chinese . Chow Yun Fat is no more than B level now . If he fails in a B level film, he will drop another level . "
