The paperwork arrived at the entrance of the American Actors Association by express mail.
The staff in charge of receiving and checking the application forms opened the documents sent by their assistants one by one. After checking them, they filed them in the database of the Actors' Association.
Thanks to the largest database of actors in the United States, the American Actors Association had an important position among film companies and producers.
Movies and TV series of all genres and levels could be found in their databases in the simplest way. The Actors' Association had done a great job in collecting information.
The employees in charge of the data review department were all employees with several years of experience. Because the work here was not only simple and tedious, but also required meticulousness and patience. Naturally, the ones who could persevere were some female employees.
There weren't many of them, only about four or five of them. As an independent department, the working atmosphere was relatively harmonious and relaxed.
"Today's work is here again …"
Bang! The sturdiest black woman in the group opened the box of files. "Here they are. Let's split them evenly. Everyone can take a stack …"
With a few hands and a few chairs close to each other, the box of documents was divided up cleanly.
Most of them were applications for primary actors, which would be registered in the system. Finally, the audit department would sort them out.
Only a few of them were like Qin Guan, who had upgraded and updated old materials.
They had won an important role in a big-budget film, gained popularity on a TV show, and won an award at a film festival.
These were the standards for upgrading actors in the Actors' Association. In the entire set of standards, these employees only had to follow the rules, modify, summarize, and go through the final classification. This was their day's work.
"Name of Actor: Qin Guan... Is he a registered actor? Yes..."
"Oh, it's another actor who needs to change his classification. How lucky …"
This kind of information that could increase one's value was something that these actors could only come across by chance.
Actors who had registered with the American Actors Association usually had formal agencies or had graduated from acting schools.
There were hundreds of thousands of actors in the US, not to mention extras who hadn't been registered yet.
Among these hundreds of thousands of people, there were very few who could become famous.
When the colleagues next to her heard Marsha's words, they all curiously gathered their heads.
"Where is he? Let's see who he is. Maybe he is our idol... "
"Take a look yourself." The girl named Marsha kept checking Qin Guan's application in the database.
A standard photo of Qin Guan unfolded slowly on the screen. The Asian actor was really dignified and handsome.
"Oh! It's him! Qin Guan! I know him! "
"Isn't she the victim of the fake news in the newspaper two days ago?"
"The latest Best Actor Award at Cannes!"
That was why he was qualified to change his resume. Such an important award would definitely increase his value.
However, after everyone finished reading the applicant's information, the girls who had calmed down gradually fell silent.
"The Best Actor Award at Cannes must be a talented actor..."
"It's a pity that he is Asian and has no experience in commercial films in the US..."
"Yes, I've seen his performance. He is good, but the box office of an indie film can't be that good..."
All the girls looked at each other and returned to their seats in low spirits.
The thick stack of documents waiting to be processed in front of him now looked so annoying.
Marsha was the only one who approved Qin Guan's application calmly. Then she took the original paper application out of the database.
"Marsha..." a girl who seemed to like Qin Guan asked, "According to industry standards, what level of films can Qin Guan be recommended for?" “
Marsha didn't answer right away. She put Qin Guan's old file in a box and started to check it on her computer.
Two minutes later, Marsha said, "Qin Guan is a level C..."
"What?"
"That's impossible!"
"That's too low..." Some girls were indignant. Qin Guan had attracted a lot of attention due to his series of endorsements and news all over the US.
"Why is it impossible?" Marsha said calmly. She didn't stop working.
"We are at the Actors Guild. Everything depends on reputation and achievements. Before this, he had no films. His only experience was in China."
"Of course it's in the D-level files. Although he won the Best Actor Award, has he ever played any important role in an A-level movie?"
"No!"
"Has he played any leading role in an independent commercial film and made a good box office?"
"No!"
"Since he hasn't been tested by the market at all, he doesn't have the attention of the general public, and he hasn't been tested by top-notch commercial films, what's wrong with him being classified as Class C?"
"Besides, commercial films are the most important in Hollywood and the US. Is it wrong for him to be a level C film?"
Martha's calm words were reasonable, and the surrounding girls were silent. There was only the sound of typing on keyboards and flipping of documents in the office.
Marsha sighed again. Her fingers clattered as she marked the file with grade C and inserted it into a conveyor belt.
"Take a look at the top Asian actors in our database. Among them, there are only a few Chinese actors who can be ranked in Hollywood."
"Here's another male lead in the Hollywood Best Film Award: Chow Yun Fat. He's only rated B for now. If he receives a level B film and the box office is not good, he will be abandoned. "
