Mason, Ian, Ryan, and Ryan's agent, Tristan, stood in a cubicle in the lawyer's office at Reina's studio, reviewing the contract that Mason and Ian had made.

Jordan Wright is a lawyer who has handled legal matters for Reina for four years, and he is a very professional and dedicated person, who has never caused Reina to lose money due to the terms of the contract.

"According to the contract, $500,000 will be Ryan Gosling's performance payment. There are some terms that Ryan needs to adhere to throughout the project. Among them is that he needs to be there whenever he is marketing. Regarding the confidentiality clause of the project, it should not be ,,.. without prior permission" Jordan went on to say these terms, and why he should abide by them.

Much like other commercial contracts, actor contracts exist to remember the key commercial terms between the actor and the producer/director. Actor contracts can range from short to heavily negotiated and complex. Actor contracts are often drafted by lawyers who specialize in entertainment law because these lawyers understand the commercial terms and risks associated with performance contracts.

In the contract, it includes things like the type of film/engagement, the terms of the contract, the actor's rights to participate in other projects during the project, and the actor's roles and responsibilities. ), the roles and responsibilities of the producer/director, remuneration, royalties, project participation, alliance regulations, dispute resolution (e.g. arbitration, mediation, etc.)

Jordan clearly explained each one. It's normal for them to have to sign such a contract for every project they are involved in. But Jordan believes it is his responsibility to explain to the other side and make it clear to the other side what they are going to get into. This is something that only an honest and professional lawyer would do.

Ryan Gosling and Tristan nodded at every word he said.

"We will review the contract with the agency, sign it as soon as possible and bring it back, thank you." Tristan said as he took the paper in his hand.

After shaking hands with the lawyer, everyone left his office.

"Thank you so much, Ian," Ryan said with a smile on his face.

"Haha... I just wanted an actor who was the right fit for the role, and I'm glad it was you. He said, politely returning the salute.

Ryan was just two seconds away from dancing like a madman, and his heart was filled with happiness. The last time I felt like this was when he won an acting award and was promoted.

But now, the blockbuster director wants him to play the lead role in his next blockbuster, which Ryan finds incredulous.

"But there's probably so much we have to practice," Ian said, after a pause, "and you see the script, there's a song you should sing and a clip to dance, you sign it and start the lesson."

"Yes, of course. Of course, thank you," he smiled widener. Walking out of the building, both of them were overjoyed. This time, Ryan's life is about to be turned upside down.

Now that the male protagonist has been found, the rest of the main actors are easy to arrange, and Ian is busy looking for someone to play the female protagonist Mia. They must also find the necessary candidates for the supporting roles. Although Ian served as the casting director, he left the rest of the casting tasks to Mason because he knew people in the industry and trusted him given his performance on Home Alone.

B-level and C-level actors, as long as they are selected based on their own talent in the audition process, Ian doesn't care. That's exactly how he suggested Mason to take people.

Ian also asked Mason to put together some personal information for him as advice to the heroine. In fact, he intends to audition them together and intends to have a mix of newcomers and veteran actors in supporting roles. This was a real strategic plan, because if he had only hired newbies for these roles, their acting skills would have been clearly not enough to sustain the film.

Building actors in the crew can help co-actors.

Ian's primary concern is not with actors, characters, or roles. It's song, composition and music. As for the choreography, Ian thought about hiring a choreographer, but that's a story for later.

When the screenwriter of "La La Land" began, songs such as "City of Stars" in the movie had already been written.

Sitting in Mason's office, he played with his phone with his fingers while wondering if he should listen to the trial version of his creation. Every night he went to the piano room, for seven days, he could compose, but the lyrics were sung in his voice.

He turned on the screen and listened to the song, its melody, and his voice. He knows he's never been a good singer, but for music, it's surprising how good his voice is. He thought to himself that he was not fully familiar with this song, so it was better to practice more and get a better trial version.

"Is that what I thought it would be?" Mason's voice startled Ian.

"Haha... It's just an attempt, have you checked the location I said? Ian asked, covering up his recording. He knew he should sing better or make the best version.

Another thing they focused on was temporary office locations and filming locations. On the one hand, because the original film was shot in Los Angeles, it was easy for them. But they still had to rent a studio and get permission to shoot, which wasn't an easy process in Los Angeles.

"I've checked that we can rent a studio at any time. I know that guy and he will arrange it there. I went to check it out and we'll know about other locations soon. But you know, we should hurry up and choose the actors first. Mason admitted.

"When is the audition? The day after tomorrow, right? Ian asked for confirmation, and Mason nodded in response.

Ian is on his way to New York on another very important mission in La La Land. It's been a few days since Ryan was chosen as the male lead. But now they need to find someone for Mia, and he seems to have found the perfect person. That's why he made this trip to New York.

Eloise Hampton is an actress who started her career in Hollywood when she was a teenager. She is now in her early 30s. Her beauty and facial features are suitable for any role, whether sad or happy. She is also talented in singing and dancing, which makes the director hire her at a high price.

The nomination for this role was also chosen by Mason, but this time he did not make any arrangements for Ian and Elois to meet. It was a sudden encounter for the two of them, but he hoped that Eloise wouldn't turn down Ian's offer because Mason knew how talented she was. If anyone can play Mia's role perfectly, it's Elois.

Because of her humility, kindness, and the positive vibes she often shares, she is an aspiring novice artist in the field. Although her career has been hugely successful since her first film, The Gift, which is a romantic comedy, she has never been a proud person. In her first film, she was the child of a single mother, and her role brought tears to the eyes of many people who watched the heartwarming film, which is why she was nominated for various awards again and again. After that, she entered Broadway shows, which made her even more popular after having a large fan base.

Broadway is a street in New York City. It runs through Manhattan, but its charm lies in the collection of theaters around Times Square. At the beginning of the 20th century, it became the most prominent theater district in the United States. This has been further cemented by a series of successful plays and musicals that have helped the region establish its reputation as one of the two best performance venues in the world. Today, the Theater District attracts some of Hollywood's finest acting talent, proving that making it to Broadway is still the pinnacle of achievement.

Ian was soon in New York, and it was still morning. He decided to take a break and planned to meet with Elois as soon as the evening was over.
