A movie role

"... a movie role!" the auctioneer shouted at the top of his lung.

He then quickly explained: "That means the winner of this bid will have the chance to play a role in a movie. Don't worry if you are not good at acting, it's a very easy role."

Someone shouted: "Where will this movie be produced? Hollywood? Europe? India?"

"Eh, I don't dare to say it's a Hollywood movie, but I guarantee that the movie will be filmed in the USA."

Janette stood up from her seat, grinning widely. "Oh my god, that's amazing! I always want to appear in a movie since my childhood. I must win this bid at all costs."

Looked like the auctioneer heard her because he quickly added to his explanation: "The role requires a male actor, so we have to apologize to all ladies here: You are not qualified to bid this lot."

A man in the back row asked: "Then how much payment will the actor get from this?"

"Payment? No, no, no, you don't understand, my dear customer. You will receive no money."

The crowd exploded.

"Is it free labor?"

"Zero money?"

"No, not zero. It's a minus. Remember, we'll have to spend money to bid."

"Does The Auction House go crazy?'

The auctioneer didn't lose his smile: "Calm down, everyone. Please let me finish. I only said that there is no money, I never said that there is no benefit. Because your companion in this movie is a celebrity. A very famous one, I dare to say."

The auctioneer waved his hand to the stage: "Ah, here she comes! I'm sure that you'll get a surprise."
