Chapter 511: Hello
Charlize Theron did not know how to explain to the agent. For her audition, her agent used a lot of contacts in her hands. Although people are in New York, they call me almost every day to ask her about time. The message, after confirming the audition date, repeatedly reminded her of some precautions on the phone.
I didn't expect the result to be like this. She is almost certain that this audition is almost awkward.
Although she had known each other soon, Charlize Theron was very aware of the strong character of her agent. Such a good opportunity was screwed up by her. It is estimated that it is difficult for her to get other opportunities from her.
No mood to go directly to the hotel, she lingered on the busy road for a long time, and finally decided to call her agent first, looked around a few times, she walked to a public phone booth, touched from the bag A few coins were thrown in and I quickly dialed the phone number of her agent.
"Hey, Michelle, I am Charlie..."
A skilled female voice in the microphone quickly came: "Charlie, what about the audition results?"
Charlize Theron hesitated for a moment, or told the truth about what happened during the audition in detail: "... Michelle, I didn't think Eric Williams would appear in There, I don’t even understand, that...what is the bastard..."
Charlize Theron will continue to speak. The female voice opposite the microphone immediately becomes harsh: "Shut up, Charlie, I just didn't hear that sentence, I definitely don't want to go from your mouth anymore." If you hear something similar, do you know who Eric Williams is, and dare to use that word to describe him."
Charlize Theron stunned. Endure a faint grievance, said: "Sorry, I... I certainly know who he is, I am just some..."
"Well, I know this. Charlie," the opposite voice quickly eased down. It seemed to take a moment to say: "Eric Williams suddenly laughed when you performed, this At least it’s much better than he didn’t respond to you before. I’ll take a few phone calls to test it. Before that, you’re staying in the hotel, don’t run around.”
Charlize Theron hesitated to touch his bag, because the tg audition was delayed more than a week before the forecast, she has not had much money. In addition to the money that must be left, the remaining banknotes are only enough for her to stay in Los Angeles for three days, and she does not want her mother in South Africa to send her living expenses to her in a thousand miles. She will return to New York soon, and she will not only have a place. Live, you can continue the original model work to maintain a livelihood: "But, Michelle, I have..."
"I know. If necessary, I will lend you some money for emergency. You are waiting for me to call me in Los Angeles." The agent named Michelle interrupted her again: "And, Charlie. If, I mean, if Eric Williams is interested in you and wants to see you, I think you should know how to do it."
Charlize Theron’s hand holding the microphone tightened. Of course, she knows the meaning of the agent's words, and thinks of the awful guy who suddenly laughed in the audition room. Although she is not reconciled, she knows. This is definitely a chance for you to step into the sky.
The agent opposite the phone faced Charlie Theron’s sudden silence, and any urge, waiting patiently.
After almost a minute, Charlize Theron finally said: "Michelle, I know."
"Very good, Charlie, you should understand that since you want to enter Hollywood, and you don't have a parent or a relative of a producer at a big movie company, you always have to pay something, if you are lucky enough to climb Ai. With a big backing like Rick Williams, you won't have to bow to anyone in Hollywood in the future. Think of Nicole Kidman, the lucky girl who was only a small, unnamed actor in Australia a few years ago. Now she has become a Hollywood sister who has reached $10 million at the box office. How many girls are spending the whole youth in Hollywood, they may not be able to reach that level. This is definitely not because her acting skills are good enough, nor because She is beautiful enough, these two things are the cheapest in Hollywood."
Charlize Theron listened quietly to the agent's preaching, and couldn't help but think of an anecdote about Eric Williams and Nicole Kidman in some gossip magazines.
She is a very early girl. In the audition, the speech about her performance is her usual dream, and it is just a set of words that everyone will say. Ninety-nine percent of the handsome men and women who want to enter Hollywood are nothing more than to become a big star, get a movie with millions of dollars in pay, and live a rich life that ordinary people are yearning for.
After chatting with the agent for a while, Charlize Theron returned to the motel in West Hollywood in a complicated mood.
......
After the audition was completed in the afternoon, Eric and Elizabeth returned to her and Julia's villa in Beverly Hills. At night, Drew also took Tina Fey to come over for dinner.
Because of Eric's arrival, Elizabeth sent the servants in the villa, and everyone was around the square table in the restaurant during the dinner. Eric had thought that the little episode in the afternoon was not in mind, but when all the meals were on the table and everyone was about to start, Elizabeth asked.
"Eric, why did you suddenly laugh when you interviewed the girl named Charlize Theron in the afternoon?"
As soon as Elizabeth opened her mouth, Drew followed the look of a curious baby, and looked at Eric with a strange look: "Yeah, it’s weird, I thought you would keep silent, but to say, that girl. It’s really beautiful.”
Several women present here have formed a very strange balance because of the different thoughts of Eric. There is no scene of jealousy, but this does not mean that they will face other women into Ai. Rick's life.
Even when Eric arrived at the villa, she held the little girl in her arms as Julia, who was a shackle. After hearing the words of Elizabeth and Drew, she also showed a curious expression.
Eric shrugged his face in an open-minded manner: "It's nothing strange, I just think that the girl's performance is very interesting."
but. Obviously, Eric's personal credit value has reached a negative level in the hearts of several women. Listening to him, Elizabeth snorted and said: "I think her performance is very good, although the final result will still be It can be decided after repeated discussions. But the girl is obviously not suitable, I have decided to eliminate her."
Eric’s heart said that it was not appropriate. He was about to speak. Drew, who was sitting on the other side, said: “Eric, if you just play, it’s not impossible. Don’t take it with you. Enough."
Looking at the other three women's helpless expression, Eric raised the spoon in his hand and knocked on the door of his mind: "You can talk!"
Xiao Nizi sighed with conviction: "Hey, I am telling the truth."
Talking, Eric’s mobile phone in the living room rang, and Tina Fey, who was closest to the door, was about to get up: “I’ll get it.”
"I still come." Eric took Tina Fey and left the restaurant to go outside.
The phone was called by Kapoor. Eric chilled a few words with him. Kapoor asked tentatively whether he was interested in a girl when he was interviewing in the afternoon.
Eric had some surprises. He was very interested in why Kapoor knew about this, so he asked.
Kapoor said: "This is the case. The girl's agent, Michelle Simmons, is now the agent of the Icm New York branch. I used to be an employee of uta, you may not remember her, she called in the afternoon. Please let me test this for you. She said that the girl's potential is good, Eric, if you can, maybe consider her more."
Uta was the re-established brokerage company after Eric acquired Kapoor’s personal brokerage firm. Later, because of the federal antitrust law, Eric took all the shares of uta. Kapoor also joined icm with all the stars and agents of uta. This is already two years ago. And before that. Eric doesn't always care about the operation of uta, and of course he doesn't remember a person like Michelle Simmons.
but. After all, it was his own subordinates, and Eric did not hide it. To be honest, "Kapoor, when auditioning, I can actually see that the girl’s potential is good, but she is not suitable for Buffy’s role. I feel that she lacks the innocence that a middle school student should have, and is too mature, so it is more suitable for a role that is actually older than her. You can let that... Michelle Simmons work hard in this regard."
"Since..." Kapoor on the phone obviously hesitated for a moment, saying: "Eric, since you also think that the girl has good potential, she has not left Los Angeles yet. Are you interested in taking the time to see?"
Eric raised his eyebrows in surprise. Kapoor always showed helplessness to him and a few women. I didn't expect to say this kind of 'matchmaking' suddenly: "Kapoor, you won't drink too much. Now, you are not always against me... um, that?"
"Of course not," Kapoor on the other side said quickly: "I just ask for someone else. If you are not interested, I will tell her truthfully."
After this sentence is finished, Kapoor said goodbye, he would hang up the phone, but Eric did not want to let him go, laughing: "Don't hang, Kapoor, what is going on, if you don't explain it clearly, I Do you have to ask for it yourself?"
"Well, it's actually nothing, but I owe Michelle a favor."
"That's it?" Eric still has some doubts.
Kapoor said: "That's it, Eric."
Eric thought about it and thought it was wrong: "If you just owe the other person a person, with the resources in your hands, you can give the girl a good chance, even if it is the protagonist of one or two movies. Ok?"
It is one of the three major Hollywood brokers alongside caa and wma. After joining all the resources of uta to join icm, Kapoor became one of the senior partners with a part of icm, with the resources in his hands, wanting Repaying the other person's situation should be a breeze.
Kapoor realized that Eric would not be willing to stop this time without asking, and said: "Eric, Michel is a very strong woman."
“Is it related to this matter?” Eric asked.
The opposite Kapoor sighed and continued: "Michelle is now mainly in New York, but you also know that New York is the headquarters of many TV networks. Icm's business there is generally TV drama or advertising. Class business. In fact, even if I don't participate at all, Michelle can use her network to win some roles for the girl. But she should not be willing to keep this state, she wants to go to the movie star. The direction of the broker is developing."
Eric wondered: "In this case, can you still help her easily?"
Kapoor has some helplessness: "Eric, you still don't understand, if it's straightforward, Michelle hopes to become the gold medalist of the a-star superstar, but this is not the case. Any one or two movies can do it, which requires a lot of luck. After all, only those movies that are sold at the box office can give birth to superstars. In Hollywood, at least in recent years, this is in your hands. 'Opportunity' is obviously the most."
Eric thought about it and laughed: "It seems to be the case, then I am not the object of many people to remember?"
Kapoor said in the opposite direction: "Of course, now the entire Hollywood, as long as it is involved in the project, even if it involves some roundabout, it will become the focus of several major brokerage companies. In fact, Miss Barrymore is doing the "Ba. I also know the Philippines. If you pay attention, you will find that the actresses you audition today should be from almost three major brokerage companies. Those second and third-line small brokerage companies can only grab a small number of audition places."
Eric was a little surprised, he really didn't pay attention to this, but think about it, the fact should be the same. Not to mention the brokerage company, take the future broadcast arrangement of Buffy. He listened to Elizabeth, and Fox has already booked the first season of Buffy, and started in mid-September this year. Play every Monday during prime time. This is hard to imagine for many TV series that are only in the script stage. (To be continued)
