Career Advice (closed MidnightWalk & ella_v)

Laura had been a bit nervous when she had not heard from Brian for a few days. But since she didn’t want to eager and needy of him, she kept from contacting him. She kept herself busy with paying some more attention to her body. Since her graduation was getting close and she had only very few classes, Laura used the free time to work-out even more than usually. Additionally, she used the nice weather to get a deeper tan and spend quite a few hours in the garden behind her house, in the smallest bikini she owned.

The relationship with her boyfriend was a bit awkward, but since Marc enjoyed her video very much, he seemed to be eager for her to continue her porn starlet career. They were sitting in a small cafe, when Laura’s mobile beeped and displayed Brian’s mail. The young woman blushed when her boyfriend looked at her with a smile. “What’s up, babe?” Laura looked a bit nervous around, just to make sure that nobody listened. “It’s Mr. Mitchell … it looks like my manager has a contract for me…” Her heart was beating fast when she started to realize what this meant. “He want’s to see me tomorrow evening… I guess it’s getting serious now!” Marc didn’t know how he should react, but in the end he just smiled at his girlfriend and patted her hand and joked: “Looks like my girlfriend is going to be a celebrity.”

On the next day at 7 pm, Laura walked over to her neighbor’s house. She was dressed in a tight fitting white pants and a pink sleeveless top. Her tanned skin formed a nice contrast with the light color of her pants and her white sneakers. The 23 year old was pretty nervous when she knocked on the door of her manager. She looked around and noticed that the neighbor from the other side of the road was looking curiously at her, when she waited for Brian to open the door. “Damn, now there’s going to be gossip… fuck…”

 

[MidnightWalk]

When the knock at the door came, Brian was sitting, reviewing the contract. He got up and went to the door, pulling it open. "Hi..glad you could...." He trailed off as he noticed Laura's attention across the street. Looking, Brian saw Mrs. Turner walking her dog, but looking over at his house and the young woman on his doorstep. "Ah." Raising his voice so that it would carry far enough, he said, "Laura, do you have that research I asked you about from the university library? Great, thank you!" He held up the sheaf of papers in his hand to make it seem as if she'd handed them to him. "Would you mind coming in to answer a few questions about the sources?" Taking her arm, he ushered her in, shutting the door. Grinning at the younger woman, he directed her to the living room. "That'll give the nosey old biddy something to consider."

Exchanging pleasantries, Brian got Laura settled into a chair, mere feet from where she had her first fuck on film. She looked good in her outfit, and he told her so. Showed her off nicely.

"So, can I get you a drink or something? I don't think we have a lot to discuss. I have to say, this is a pretty good contract, particularly for a first one." He offered her a copy and waited for her drink order, if one.

 

[ella_v]

Laura was happy that Brian reacted so quickly, however she had her doubts that they could keep this cover up for a long time. “I bet that old hag would love to spread the news about what happened here last time.” She giggled a little and followed Brian into the living room. It was probably just her imagination, but Laura thought that she could still see the spot where her and Brian’s juices had pooled on the floor. Just the though about their mind blowing sex was letting her pulse increase speed and her nipples became hard again.

“A beer would be great, I guess it’s too early for some harder stuff.” She giggled and took the papers from her manager. There were several pages with small print on it, covering a lot more aspects than Laura had expected. She quickly flipped through the pages, but it looked all pretty confusing on first glance. “Wow, there is a lot of stuff in here. What do they expect of me… and what do we get in return?”

 

[MidnightWalk]

Brian chuckled at her comment about Mrs. Turner. "Well, she won't have to wonder if she's surfing porn sites a year from now, will she?" And when she requested a beer, in lieu of something harder, he headed off to the kitchen, coming back with two bottles of beer, a bottle of scotch and two glasses. These he placed on the coffee table between them. "Help yourself."

Sitting on the sofa near Laura, he took a second copy of the contract and idly shuffled through it. "Well, I'll be honest, my friend Alex wanted to sign you immediately to a new series he's starting. I thought that would be a bit much to start, so I told him no." He gave that a second to sink in, then grinned. "Well, I told him no to start. I want you to start more simply to get your feet wet, as it were. So with that in mind, I've signed you to do two amateur girl next door shorts, and then, we'll go to Texas and do Alex's series." He looked to make sure she was keeping up.

"Basic terms are $500 a day for filming, and that includes certain basic sexual acts, but others can only be included at your express permission and with additional cash bonuses. That's covered on page 7." He gestured. "I know that doesn't sound like a lot of money, but you're new. We can get you a lot more the next time. Unless, of course, you develop stage fright or something." Brian grinned.

Indicating the script, "Flip through it. See what you think, consider what I said so far. Let me know what you're thinking." He watched Laura expectantly.

 

[ella_v]

Laura took one of the beers from her neighbor. “Thanks, I guess this will work for now.” She giggled a little and listened carefully to her manager and what he told her about the contract and the project at hand. “How many days of filming are there usually for such a movie? Is it all shot in one day or do they usually need more time? I guess porn films are not like Hollywood productions with take up several month to make.”

However, the $500 didn’t sound too bad to Laura. As a student she was always low on cash and some extra bucks would be nice to have. Additionally it would take some of the pressure to find quickly a job after graduation from her, hence Laura was rather fine with the expected pay. “How much of the $500 is your cut? 5%… or 10% … or 1% for every inch of your beautiful 11-inch-cock?” She giggled a little and smiled at her friend. “And don’t be modest, I want this to be a fair deal for both of us.”

The 5’3’’ blond started to read though the contract. Most of the clauses were pretty normal, so Laura scipt over them until she came to the more juicy parts.

‘Nudity sex acts: It is understood between the parties that, with respect to the services to be rendered by Player, for the consideration set forth in the Agreement, such services shall require Player to appear nude and/or semi-nude, and perform designated sexual act(s) in the Pictures. The general description of the extent of such nudity and the type of physical contact required in the designated sex acts will be determined before the Pictures.’

Laura turned over to page 7 to look at the list of sex acts, which were included in her base fee. This mostly included anything that was connected to vanilla oral and vaginal sex. Satisfied the young woman turned back to the actual contract.

‘Player’s consent: Player agrees and consents to render the services set forth above and hereby affirms that the Player agrees to appear nude and to perform such designated sex act(s).’

‘Ownership of performance: Pursuant to terms and conditions of the agreement, the production company owns all the results and proceeds of Player’s services rendered pursuant to the Agreement and has exclusive right to use, license and exploit the Picture and Player’s performance therein, throughout the world in perpetuity and any and all media whether now known or hereafter devised.’

The contract also demanded from Laura, that she had to provide health documents on a regular basis and with ever new project. She also had to take part in promotional events, which were of cause payed as well. On request, Laura had to provide the wardrobe for her scenes according to the producer’s demands and would be reimbursed for it.

Finally, the young woman looked up at her neighbor and smiled at him. “This looks all pretty good. Where do I sign?”

 

[MidnightWalk]

Brian poured himself a glass of scotch as Laura took one of the beers. "Timing on the set is variable. Time is money, as they say. And faster filming makes for more profit, faster. I think you'll find that the amateur shorts take only a day, if that. Probably a couple hours, but as you'll see in the contract, any fraction of a day is a day. Think about that. Ever had a job where you made $250 an hour?" He grinned. "And had fun with it?"

He sipped the scotch. "If you flip to the last page, you'll see that it's not really the contract proper. It's a separate contract between you and I. I've written it up as a base 8%. If that works for you, feel free to sign that. But, in some cases, I'm going to waive that fee." Brian held up a hand to forestall any argument. "I'll explain in a minute. And 8% is fair. Most of my job is getting you work and keeping you safe. If I do the first part of that right, the second isn't really necessary. And frankly, I make quite enough with my writing that I don't need to soak your income."

Brian leaned back, watching Laura read the contract, giving her the time she needed to do it carefully. Looking at the young woman he studied her, wondering if she would really enjoy this new career path. She seemed to like sex well enough, heaven knows she was enthusiastic about him. But when it came to scripting it, and taking a director's direction...some folks couldn't handle that. Great looks, fabulous body and brains. She had all the right components to do this well.

When she looked up, he smiled encouragingly. "Well, if you agree with it all, sign on the dotted line on the last page, right below my signature. Same with our contract. So long as you understand, this contractually obligates you to do the two amateur girl next door videos and the four picture series that Alex is doing. You good with that? If so, sign away." He slid a pen across the table.

 

[ella_v]

Laura looked quietly over the pages again. The six movies would earn her at least $2,800, which was a lot of money for her. And she wouldn’t have to do too much for it, besides having some fun in front of a camera. The deal that Brian was proposing to her was more than fair. The 8% were a reasonable charge and after seeing this contract, he was clearly worth the money.

Her heart was beating fast and her hand was shaking a bit, when the young blond reached for the pen. She flipped to the last page and first signed the management agreement with Brian. Then she moved to the last page of the contract and quickly added her signature to the contract.

“I guess I am now officially a porn actress.” She giggled when the placed the pan back onto the table. “Now that I sold my body, how do we celebrate this? And what comes next, Mr. Mitchell?”

 

[MidnightWalk]

"Well, you're not a porn actress until you've been filmed having sex, professionally. And that can come soon enough. Give me a couple days and I can set up the girl next door scenes. Any ideas where you'd like to do it? Otherwise, I can find something, I suspect." He looked her over, as if measuring her for the work to come. Shaking his head internally, he damped down his thoughts. She really was young enough to be his daughter. Though there were some similarities between them. At her age, he'd been fucking on film in California for a couple years already. And that experience would help her, he hoped.

Brian finished his scotch, setting the glass down. He looked across the table at Laura. "Well, how do you want to celebrate? Shopping spree? A nice dinner out? Opening a savings account?" Cocking an eyebrow at her, he smiled. "You tell me. How do you want to celebrate? It's your new job."

 

[ella_v]

Laura thought for a moment, but she didn’t really have any ideas for the girl next door video. All of this was new and everything was moving so fast, that she felt a bit confused. “To be honest, I don’t really have any thoughts on that. I think it’s best when you and the producer get that sorted out, I guess I am just too much a noob to make any useful contributions.” She smiled at Brian and then took a deep sip from her beer.

“Since I didn’t earn any money yet, I don’t really have the resources to go on a shopping spree, although that sounds like a lot of fun.” She giggled and her mind started to image what she could buy with that money she would earn soon. “A nice dinner and some clubbing would be cool. And along the way we could talk about what I have to do additionally to the actual filming. I guess nowadays you need to build up a digital appearance with instagram, facebook and twitter accounts and so on.”

“So, do you know any nice restaurants that we could go to… maybe tomorrow night?”

 

[MidnightWalk]

"Mmm, good point. We'll find something. Maybe your own house," he smiled, winking. "Probably not, though. We'll just need something that looks like a house next door." He waved a hand around him. "Maybe literally a house next door. I mean, you've not had sex in my guest room yet." He grinned.

He reached up an scratched his chin. "Another good point there. This social media thing is kind of big, isn't it? I follow various things casually, but I do find that a lot of models and actresses, of all stripes, are on Instagram and Twitter, in particular. Might not be a bad idea to create accounts related to your acting persona. I don't really know enough about them to help there, but you should have a large photo portfolio ready to post, and I can help there. Word of mouth is a good thing. The more popular you are on social media, the more popular your films should be, the more you can ask for...if you can demonstrate the connection. We'll get to that. But yes, preparing is a good thing. Good call." Brian nodded.

He leaned back on the sofa. "I know a few good places, depending on what you like...seafood, Italian, steak. I'm sure we can find something nice. Do you want Marc to come along? And why wait? Big plans for tonight?"

 

[ella_v]

“I think doing a movie in my own home is a bit too private for the first clip. But I guess it should be a room that looks a bit like mine. You know, with all the pictures and stuff you find in a young woman’s room.” She giggled a little and thought how naughty it would be to take her neighbor to her own room at her parent’s house.

“I can ask Marc for some help on this social media stuff, he has more knowledge about it than me. I just know how to use most of the stuff, but he is my personal tech guy. So you think I should put pictures of me in revealing cloth and stuff like that up on the internet? Maybe I should start taking selfies with my manager… and you should take a picture of me signing my first contract.” She giggled and handed her phone to her neighbor.

“Marc is busy tonight, since he knew that I would be meeting you. We can go out tonight, if you give me like an hour to change and to get dolled up for the night. But if you want to meet Marc, we can also do it tomorrow. It’s up to you, Mr. Mitchell.”

 

[MidnightWalk]

Brian snapped a picture of Laura, then several more. "You should probably look up some adult film stars on Twitter and Instagram and see how they present themselves. Some do normal clothes, some skimpy clothing, most nude and some put 'working' pictures up." He shrugged. "It all depends on you, and what the sites let you put up. But I think you'll find, the more skin you show, the more followers you'll get."

He leaned back again. "That's a good learning point for both of us. I can probably work that into your next contract. If you're doing social media to boost your image, that reflects on the work you're doing, so you should be compensated. Live and learn."

Brian smiled. "As for celebrating, it's your job. What do you want to do? And I have no strong desire to meet Marc, but I'll be happy to if you think it'll help things. I mean, I expect I'll have to run across him eventually. But that's your world, so I leave it to you. What do you want to do to celebrate?" His eyes sparkled as he regarded the desirable young woman.

 

[ella_v]

Laura took her phone again and looked at the pictures of her signing her contract. She smiled happy and packed the phone away. Then she looked back at her older neighbor and though for a short moment about what he had told her.

“Ok, in that case I guess we better celebrate tonight without Marc. I don’t want to make anyone feel awkward. So how about this: You get us a reservation in any restaurant you like, while I get home and change into something appropriate for an upcoming, celebrating porn starlet.” She giggled a little and emptied her bottle. “And while we are out, I can snap some more pictures of me partying, I guess that’s what people would love to see on my instagram page.”

“Why don’t you pick me up in an hour for a night of fun!” Laura placed a kiss on her neighbor’s cheek and got up. “See you in a bit, stallion.”

 

[MidnightWalk]

Brian shrugged. "I think they'd like to see that fabulous body of yours, but that's just one man's opinion." He smiled. "But of course, sex sells. It must, or this business we're venturing on wouldn't exist. I'll see you in a bit."

Brian made some phone calls, and grabbed a shower. Pulling on a pair of black trousers, he buttoned up a dark red shirt, adding a blue silk tie before shrugging into sport coat. Checking to make sure he had everything, Brian grabbed his car keys and wallet. Locking up the house, he walked across the yard to Laura's house, ringing the front bell, glancing behind him, across the street.

 

[ella_v]

Laura had raced home and jumped into the shower as well. The excitement and expectations for the night were driving her wild and the young woman had to stop herself from playing with herself in the shower. Once she was dried up and her skin covered with lotion, Laura returned to her room and started to pick out the dress for the evening.

Pretty quickly Laura decided to pick the most sexy dress she owned. “I guess I have to get some new cloth, once I got my first paycheck.” The dress was a black cocktail dress, which had a silver chain as neck holder and a bare back. The dress just reached past mid thigh and showed of the small woman’s legs perfectly. Due to the bare back, Laura just picked a lacy, black thong as underwear. Black high heels completed the outfit, which gave Laura a sexy, but still classy look.

She quickly applied some make up and then send a text to her boyfriend, just to inform him where she was going. The bell was ringing, when Laura place two big, golden loops in her ears. Quickly she finished her look with a silver anklet with a cute, rolling heart that Marc had given her as a gift a few days ago.

Grabbing her small silver handbag, Laura raced to open the door for Brian. “Hi… sorry it took a bit longer. So, are you ready to take this girl out to party?”

 

[MidnightWalk]

"Well now, don't you look fabulous." Brian took a step back and looked Laura up and down. The dress clung to her petite curvy frame, accentuating her full breasts and showing off the shapely legs. "You're all glittery and shiny. Very lovely." He took her arm, walking her to his car.

"I may have reserved the wrong restaurant. You are going to outshine everyone at Luigi's." He grinned, opening the door to his car, looking around. "You realize that this completely undermines my efforts to throw off Mrs. Turner's snoopiness, right?" Chuckling, he climbed into his car and started off.

"I hope Italian is all right with you. It's one of the nicest places I go to. Not fancy and expensive, but clean and the food...the food's the only reason a place like that takes reservations. There will be lines of poor schmucks without them looking to get in."

 

[ella_v]

“Thanks, Mr. Mitchell.” She smiled at him and looked up and down the road, but nobody could be seen. “I guess Mrs. Turner will find out soon enough. Besides she isn’t out at this time, she had to be home watching her stupid soap operas.” She giggled a little and turned to lock the door behind her. “Luigi’s sound perfect and I love Italian food, and actually I have never been there.”

She walked with Brian over to his car and got into it. The hem of her dress rode up when she sat down, revealing more of her smooth well formed legs. “I hoped to outshine everyone tonight, it’s fun to be a slutty, naughty girl.”

“Additionally, I will have plenty of dancing partners lining up tonight, in case I tire you out.” She giggled and her smiled showed her perfectly white teeth.

 

[MidnightWalk]

"Just remember, I'm old, so I can't party as long as you can," Brian chuckled. "I'll let you know when I can't keep up and you need to find replacements for me."

Driving to the restaurant, he kept up small talk about this and that and nothing too special. Arriving at Luigi's, Brian escorted Laura in, quickly getting seated. He noted along the way the dozens of people who overtly noticed or ogled his date. That was a good thing. She needed to get used to attention.

After being seated, he gestured around. "So, what do you think?"

 

[ella_v]

“You seemed to be in a pretty good shape with quite some stamina the last time I came around to your house.” Laura joked and blushed a little at the same time. “But feel free to take a brake anytime you want to, but I am sure those guys are not even close to being a replacement for you.”

The restaurant was nice and surely Laura made lots of heads turn. Some women were not too pleased to see someone like here in the place, the young woman felt their angry stares on her back when she took a seat.

“The place looks great and the food smells awesome. Are you often here and do you have any recommendations?”

 

[MidnightWalk]

Brian took advantage of the seating to get another good look at Laura's thighs. Still pleasant to look at even when he wasn't between them, he mused. And the dress clinging to her chest. It was no wonder everyone was staring.

"Oh, I treat myself to Luigi's a couple times a month. I know some of the waitstaff. I can recommend the eggplant parmagiana and the lasagna, though I've never had anything that was bad. One of the specials might be good." There had been specials chalked on a board at the entrance.

When the waitress came over, a tall redhead, Brian ordered a bottle of wine and a plate of crab and avocado crostini as appetizers. He returned his attention to Laura. "So, what looks good to you?"

 

[ella_v]

It surprised Laura that Brian was recommending the eggplant parmigiana. He didn’t strike her as someone who would enjoy a vegetarian dish, but it made him look even more interesting in her eyes. “I will take the eggplant parmigiana, that sounds very interesting.” She smiled at the waitress, although she was a questionable look in her eyes. She was obviously having her doubts about Laura’s looks and the man that was twice her age.

Once they had placed their orders, Laura focused her attention back to her manager. “So, how show I prepare for my first day on screen? Do I have to get any clothing or should I prepare a certain look?”

Laura noticed that several guys were still staring at her for time to time. She wondered how it would be, once those guys might have seen her in a movie. Would they stare even more at her? Or would they even see her as an easy girl to score?

 

[MidnightWalk]

Brian shook his head. "No, for these first two, it'll be pretty simple. They're 'girl next door' scenes, so you just want to dress, more or less, like the girl next door. I will make a recommendation...legs and cleavage sell, to start." He smiled, sipping his wine. "And your undergarments don't have to match, but err on the side of sexy. You know, thongs...lacy bras, maybe a push up. Something to accent your magnificent body. It's girl next door, but a fantasy girl next door. Other than that, just be pretty and showered and..." he leaned back, studying her..."a pony tail, maybe. Or a braid or two. That might work well on you."

He took one as the appetizers arrived. "I'll make sure your partner is up on his shots and has showered first. And I'll make damned sure he's got rubbers. No matter what, rubbers." He nodded, pointing the crostini at her like a finger. "And don't you let anyone tell you that you have to go bare. If they do, and I'm not there for some reason, you walk. Understand? That's non-negotiable." He bit into the emphasizing appetizer, glancing about, noting the attention she was still getting.

"Just wait until you're doing some of the shows...the trade shows, I mean. Wait til the attention then. Oh, and you need to finalize a screen name. You can change it now, but if you change it after you start, that's a royal pain in the ass."

 

[ella_v]

“Oh, it should not be too hard to find something nice in my wardrobe. And some nice sexy, but not too slutty underwear is no problem at all. I still have my old cheerleading uniform, I have to try, but I should still fit into it. I guess some guys like that kind of stuff.” She giggled a little. “At least Marc likes it to see me with ponytail and in my cheerleader look.”

Laura looks a bit disappointed when Brian brings up the topic of rubbers. “I know that you are right, however, I really enjoyed the bare sex with you. I guess it would bring out the excitement and pleasure much more. It’s dangerous… but maybe with a steady partner …”

“When it comes to the screen name, we can go with Lily Rose. It sounds nice and isn’t too bad. Additionally we could use a rose as a logo or symbol.”

 

[MidnightWalk]

Brian chuckled when she mentioned a steady partner, but had to hold off as the waitress brought their food at that moment. He looked over the spread, smiling. "So what do you think? Looks good, doesn't it? This is why I love this place."

Digging in, he looked at her. "Yeah, condoms are a fact of life in the industry. Even if everyone's tested, they have to be used. Though, like you say, ifyou have one steady partner, sometimes you can work around it." He smiled slyly. "I didn't tell you about Alex's series, did I? It's a boarding school sort of thing...so, they'll be scenes with teachers and students, and students and students..." he watched her reaction to this..."and parents and students. He's offered me a recurring role as one of the parents for directing you his way. I'm tempted, really. Would that be weird for you? Working on the same set together?"

 

[ella_v]

The food looked great and it tasted even better. “Wow, this place is really awesome. The food is really, really good. You really know how to pleasure a girl, Mr. Mitchell.” She giggled and nearly had to cough, when a woman and the next table looked at them in disgust.

“I know you are right, however, it’s just more erotic in my eyes when they do it without protection. Maybe we can find some on-screen boyfriend for me in the long run.” The giggled and blushed, when Brian told her about the idea of appearing in her movies as well. “So… so you would be performing with me?” She blushed even deeper and her nipples became hard again under the thin material of her dress. “I … I would love that, but I have one condition. Your cock doesn’t get to suit up!”

She took a sip of her wine before she continued. “So, who will you play? Some biology teacher doing a pretty real class demonstration? Or do the parents get to pick their students in a special type of fund raiser?”
