The Next Level
Bigger agents have more sway
over industry professionals, because they've already
nurtured successful stars of their own. With these
credentials, they can open many, many doors for you. In
the event that someone else is impressed by your work,
they may invite you to work on something specific sans
audition, and you've got to continue to churn out the
magic. (More than likely, though, your work thus far will
simply help open more doors. Your agent will be able to
cite your work, and at the very least, they will be able
to open more audition doors for you. Those supporting
roles that you were wondering about that put today's
leading men and ladies where they are now are these ones.
And the thing is, you can't even get into these auditions
without a little clout already.
Salary - $50,000 -
$200,000
At this level, you will
either be invited to audition or your agent will be able
to work a little extra magic thanks to your success, and
you'll have access to bigger roles that you couldn't get a
few years beforehand. These are the roles that can open
those shiny new doors to starring parts. When you get to
this level, you've got to entertain like you've never
entertained before. This is the last step you must
accomplish (perhaps a few times) before you earn your
first starring role in a major film.
Salary - $500,000 -
$5,000,000
Now comes the big
show...potentially. If you've done your job all the way up
to here, someone is either going to want you for their
movie or your agent will be able to get you auditions for
those starring roles. This is your chance to really shine.
This is when you want to start getting a little more picky
about the movies that you're in.((Once you get your
starring role, you'll want your movie to kill at the box
office. Think of movies like Juno, 10 Things I Hate About
You, and Risky Business. Alongside those 3 potential new
star-makers, though, are 60 others with other potential
stars that never got off the ground. So when you're
choosing scripts to audition for, remember why you started
this journey in the first place. There are other articles
on the CelebSystem site that can teach you which movies
make the most money, so you should know how to pick them
when the time comes. And assuming you choose well, you can
find yourself in one of two places. Your movie is either a
blockbuster or a mega-blockbuster.
Movie Star Status
If you score a blockbuster,
it's like getting a power-up boost to your career for a
year. Skip-the-audition offers will roll in, your salary
will start to reach the high hundred thousands or maybe
even the low millions, and for the first time in your
life, multitudes of strangers will recognize you.((There's
just one caveat: don't let it go to your head. Every year,
some new starlet or pretty boy becomes the next it person
in Hollywood, let's the VIP treatment go to their head,
starts buying up expensive cars and designer clothing like
it'll never end, and they stop working.
Some go on vacation for months at a time (while all the
offers slowly dry up), some blow through all their cash,
some decide that they can start acting in little
independent films, and some even quit, deciding they're
set for life. Do not let this
