History Series / DixPourCent

* ButNotTooBlack & ButNotTooWhite: Sophia is unable to land casting calls partly because as a biracial actress, she is ''too white'', ''too black'' or ''too exotic''...

French series that started to air in 2015 on France 2. It follows the talent agents Andrea, Mathias, Gabriel and Arlette, in the agency ASK. The series follows their adventures as they manage the career, whims and problems of their protegees in exchange for ten percent of their earnings (hence the french title of the series). The first episode ends with the subite death of their boss that put the agency in jeopardy.

--->'''Joey Starr [to Julie Gayet]''' : Are you seeing someone these days? [[note]]In real life, Julie Gayet is the well-known mistress/companion of the French President François Hollande[[/note]]

* HollywoodOld: Mentioned when [[Film/TheSpanishApartment Cécile]] [[Film/HighTension De France]] despite years of negotiation and hours of horse-riding lessons, gets dropped from a Tarantino movie because she is too old.

* PassiveAggressiveKombat: An indirect version when a playful montage shows Line Renaud and Françoise Fabian who compete for the same role, deliver sharp lines about each other to their respective entourage.

--->'''Françoise''': Wonderful, she is so rare in movies, what was her last movie ? Ah, right, the Ch'tis. [[note]](A popular comedy not very famous for its artistic value)[[/note]]

--->'''François''': she would play a SS, people would find her likeable.
--->'''Line''' : she has this elegance, a bit stiff. She can be terrifying, you know.

** Also Camille's mother. She is a feisty, slightly overbearing mother with a heavy southern French accent (that Camille apparently did not inherit) who fails to understand why her daughter would leave the sunny Mediterranean seaside (and her) to go anywhere else.

* ActorAllusion: All other the place. For instance, when Joey Starr runs after a paparazzi, Andréa cried at him to think about his probation referring to the real-life justice problems of the actor due to his well-known HairTriggerTemper.

* ActorAllusion: All other the place.

* PhoneyCall: Joey Starr pretends to receive an urgent phone call to flee from of an uncomfortable dinner with Julie Gayet. Too bad he actually took [[EpicFail Julie's phone]] by mistake...

* RaceForYourLove: Andréa after Colette at the end of the first season. [[spoiler: it fails.]]

* TheRival: unbeknownst to everyone but Arlette, [[spoiler: Line Renaud and Françoise Fabian]] used to compete for Samuel's affection decades ago and are still bitter about it. Of course, Andréa makes good use of this.

* FourPhilosophyEnsemble: arguably the four agents in their relationships towards cinema and actor casting. Matthias is the cynic whose only objective is to makes money regardless of any artistic considerations; Andréa is an optimist with a deep love of cinema and strong ideals that makes her focus a lot on creating great film projects; Gabriel is the Realist as he cares mostly about his actor’s well-being and career. Arlette is the Apathetic as her job objectives are not given much characterisations beside being old-fashioned.

* TheCasanova: Andrea who leaves a trail of broken hearts behind her. It comes back to her face when she tries to seduce the uptight and romantic Colette. Discussed when she realized how the title character of the [[Literature/DonJuan Don Juan]] adaptation applied to her ways.

* TokenEvilTeammate: Mathias Barneville, the most ambitious, driven and venal of the artistic agents.

The series is notable for having famous guest stars [[AdamWesting playing fictional version of themselves]] as the talents managed by ASK. Expect lot of self-parody and jokes about the French cinema and showbusiness.
