Rebirth: The Path to Hollywood Queen

Opportunity is here

Eva moved out that night.

She thought that she would probably never see this arrogant man again in her life. From her observation, this man has a very complex personality and he is not someone who can be simply summarized. It is best not to deal with such people, as it is easy to hurt yourself.

She found an accommodation online using her cell phone and paid the rent immediately. She then searched the address of the Directors Guild in Dublin and went to the Guild early the next morning. Since it is summer vacation recently, she has plenty of time. She plans to register as a director so that she can get work and resources from the Directors Guild. Many advertising, television, MTV, film and other production companies will occasionally release some director-related positions in the Directors Guild to recruit candidates. If a director wants to shoot a film, he can also search for suitable actors in the Directors Guild's huge actor database. It can be said that joining the Directors Guild is equivalent to taking the first step into this industry.

Eva didn't have much time to waste. Indeed, there were so many young men and women on the street who were enjoying their youth and sunshine unscrupulously. But Eva was different from them; she had long been tired of those things. She felt that achieving some results on her own was what she wanted most at the moment. Becoming an excellent director is her ambition in this life.

But before heading to the union, she stopped by a tool store. She bought a small dagger and a cell phone with a good recording function. She plans to carry these two things with her in the future; the reason is simple: she wants to protect herself. She has a very serious misogyny for men, as I saw yesterday. In a hurry, something might happen that she herself could not have expected. At this moment, she is both beautiful and young, and such a girl can easily attract some dirty men. For self-defense and self-protection.

But the saber is not suitable for hiding in a bag, because it will not be able to be pulled out in an emergency. Eva thought for a long time and finally bought a pair of high boots in a shoe store. Then, that defensive dagger was shoved into Eva’s boot. After everything was settled, she continued on her way. She admitted that she was not normal mentally. No normal woman would carry a knife and a recording phone on her body for no reason. But this is who she is now, a person who is very resistant and wary of the male group.

In the distance, she could see the Directors Guild building. The Irish Directors Guild and the Actors Guild are run together, and as Eva entered the building, she heard the pleasant voice of the receptionist.

"Hello, welcome to the Directors Guild. Is there anything I can help you with?"

When Eva walked in, she realized that she seemed very out of place here. Because all the people coming in and out here are of a certain age, and most of them are men. Moreover, each of them was dressed in formal attire, looked dignified and elegant, and looked like a successful person. Only she was not only dressed very casually, but also looked too young. A beautiful face filled with collagen.

Passersby looked at her sideways because this girl appeared in a place where senior directors and producers were supposed to come in and out, which made people wonder if she had walked into the wrong door. Perhaps this is the sexism in the industry. People subconsciously think that women are not as good as men as directors, so there are very few female directors. According to the British BBC TV station, it once made a statement regarding discrimination against female workers in the European and American film industries.

There is severe discrimination against women in the European and American film industries. Female directors account for only 4% of all directors in the European and American film industries, which is a rather sad number. Among the 100 top-grossing films last year, only one was a female photographer, eight were written by female writers, and twelve were created by female editors. Such scarce numbers are regrettable. This industry is dominated by male dominance, which has not been broken to this day.

So when a young and beautiful woman like Eva appears here, everyone will involuntarily look at her with tinted glasses. There was surprise, contempt, and disdain in their eyes, but no appreciation or admiration. They all seem to be saying: You are so beautiful, why do you want to be a director? You can just be an actor.

But Eva was not frightened by the situation. She no longer cared about other people's eyes. She said to the receptionist, "Hello." The receptionist smiled and said, "Hello, ma'am. I think you may have come to the wrong place. The door to the Screen Actors Guild is on the other side."

Eva shook her head and said seriously, "No, that's why I'm here. I'm here to register with the Directors Guild." The receptionist showed a look of surprise for a moment. After all, someone like Eva might not appear in a whole year. Young and beautiful girls all wanted to be big stars and yearned to be the focus of attention on the big screen. She had never seen a girl like this come here and say she wanted to be a director.

The receptionist smiled and said, "Okay, to register with the Directors Guild, you have to pay a 300 Euro membership fee first." Eva pulled her wallet out of her bag, "Okay, I'll take it."

The receptionist added, "Before you pay the membership fee, I need to confirm a few things. First, you must have a formal work before. Do you have one?" Eva was stunned. "Works?"

The receptionist seemed to have expected that this girl definitely did not meet the qualifications for membership. She said, "Yes, you need to have a formally recorded commercial, MTV, documentary, TV series, movie, etc., but it must be broadcast on a public platform." Eva looked disappointed. "I don't have any work."

The receptionist’s response was formulaic: “Then I’m sorry, you can’t join the Directors Guild.” Eva looked disappointed, but that didn't last long. Disappointment is inevitable. Eight out of ten things in life are not as we wish. We can only endure it slowly, right?

She smiled politely, and that smile was very charming. "Thank you for bothering you." Then she turned around and planned to leave. She was thinking, if this road was blocked, then she could only find another way. But what can she do? She had only 100,000 euros in her bank account, but that wasn't even enough to make an independent film.

It seems that in order to make a living, she has to find a part-time job to earn some living expenses. When she turned around, she suddenly saw a familiar man walking out of the Actors Guild across the street. If she remembered correctly, it should be Colin Farrell, the most popular actor in Ireland at the moment. He's also one of the best Irish actors to make it in Hollywood. In Ireland, he is also the most popular.

However, he is also a playboy with a notorious chaotic private life. When he saw Eva, he was obviously stunned. After all, girls as stunning as Eva were rare. He seemed to be planning to come over and say something to Eva, but when he turned around, he saw the paparazzi swarming after him. He frowned, turned around and gave Eva a look, then took out a business card and placed it on the counter in front of Eva and nodded, "I have a feeling for you, remember to contact me."

Then he walked through the gate and headed off into the distance, and behind him, he could see a group of reporters coming towards him. Colin Farrell obviously didn't want to talk any more with the paparazzi, so he just got into his car and drove away. Soon, the paparazzi behind them also got into their cars and tried to chase Colin.

Eva still stood there. The paparazzi who rushed over obviously didn't notice Eva standing on the side of the road. They got into their cars and drove away in a hurry to catch up with Colin Farrell. The tire rolled over the pond, and the splashes from the pond suddenly splashed up and splashed onto Eva. Eva was splashed with dirty water. But no one cares. No one said sorry to Eva. People are only concerned with chasing after valuable people, so who would care about the unknown people who are accidentally splashed with dirty water on the roadside?

In fact, this is how the world is, and Eva has long understood it. There is nothing to be angry about. Instead of being angry, you might as well think about how to make yourself more successful. Then she picked up the business card and looked at it. Colin Farrell's contact information is on it. Eva threw it into a nearby trash can.

Men nowadays are really becoming more and more boring, low-class, and promiscuous. After the tragedy of her previous life, she suddenly lost all interest in men and became misogynistic, unable to have physical contact with men. However, if she wants to be a director, she will definitely deal with all kinds of men, but this is a different concept. Deep down, she really has no interest in men anymore. I don’t want to make close friends or have any other contact outside of work.

She didn't know if this was a mental illness, but she thought it was good. All her experiences have taught her that men are inherently unreliable. Eva was neither anxious nor annoyed. She just rolled up her wet trouser legs. Although she looked a little shabby, she didn't care and walked back into the crowd.

When she walked to the bus stop and started waiting for the bus, she suddenly saw something that brightened her eyes. The

billboard at the bus stop reads: 4th Dublin Short Film Competition. Participants: Everyone. Requirements: Prepare your own work and raise funds on your own.

Entry requirements: Before the designated date, please choose one of the following six themes and shoot a short film of 5 to 30 minutes, depending on the funding situation. Finally, outstanding winners will be selected from the short films. The organizer will reimburse all costs for the winners and provide them with contract opportunities for advertising, MTV, TV series, and movies.

After reading it, Eva's eyes suddenly lit up. Does this mean that her chance has come?
