Charlize Theron didn't know how to explain to her agent. For her audition, her agent used a lot of contacts. Although she was in New York, she would call her almost every day to ask her about the time. After confirming the audition date, she repeatedly told her some precautions on the phone.

Didn't expect it to turn out like this, she was almost certain that the audition was almost a smash.

Although they have known each other for a long time, Charlize Theron is still very aware of the strong character of her agent. She ruined such a good opportunity. It is estimated that it will be difficult for her to get other opportunities from her in the future.

She was not in the mood to go back to the hotel directly. She lingered on the side of the road full of traffic for a long time, and finally decided to call her agent first. After looking around, she walked to a public telephone booth and touched her bag. A few coins were thrown in, and she quickly dialed her agent's number.

"Hey, Michelle, I'm Charlie..."

A capable female voice from the microphone quickly came: "Charlie, how was the audition?"

Charlize Theron hesitated for a moment, but told her agent what happened during the audition in detail: "...Michelle, I didn't expect Eric Williams to appear in There, I don't even understand why that...that bastard..."

Charlize Theron wanted to continue speaking, but the female voice across the microphone immediately became stern: "Shut up, Charlie, I just assumed that I didn't hear that sentence, and I definitely don't want to hear it from your mouth again. When you hear something like that, do you know who Eric Williams is. Dare to use that word to describe him."

Charlize Theron was stunned. Endure the slight grievance. Said: "Sorry, I... Of course I know who he is, I just have some..."

"Okay, I know about this, Charlie," the voice on the other side calmed down quickly, and seemed to think for a moment before saying, "Eric Williams suddenly laughed while you were performing. At least it's much better than he didn't respond to you before, I'll make a few phone calls to test it, and before that, you stay in the hotel obediently and don't run around."

Charlize Theron hesitantly touched her shoulder bag, because the audition for tg was delayed by more than a week than expected, and she didn't have much money. Except for the air ticket money that she had to keep, the remaining banknotes were only enough for her. She continued to live in Los Angeles for three days, and she didn't want her mother in South Africa to send her living expenses all the way. Return to New York as soon as possible, she not only has a place to live. You can also continue to work as a model to make a living: "But, Michelle, I've..."

"I know, if necessary, I'll lend you some money for emergency. You stay in Los Angeles and wait for my call," the agent named Michelle interrupted her again: "Also, 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 held the microphone tightly. Of course she knew the meaning of the agent's words. Thinking of the hateful guy who suddenly laughed in the audition room, although she was a little unwilling, she also knew that this was definitely for herself. An opportunity to climb to the sky.

The agent on the other side of the phone faced Charlize Theron's sudden silence and waited patiently for any urging.

After almost a minute, Charlize Theron finally said, "Michelle, I see."

"Very well, Charlie, you should understand that since you want to get into Hollywood, and you don't have parents or relatives who are producers in big studios, you always have to give something. If you are lucky enough to get on AI A big backer like Rick Williams,

You won't have to bow your head to anyone in Hollywood in the future, think of Nicole Kidman, that lucky girl was just a little-known actress in Australia a few years ago, and now she has become a Hollywood $10 million box office. First sister, how many girls have spent their entire youth in Hollywood, they may not be able to reach that level. All this is definitely not because her acting skills are good enough, nor because she is beautiful enough, these two things are in Hollywood. cheapest. "

Charlize Theron listened to the agent's lectures quietly, and couldn't help but remember seeing the scandal about Eric Williams and Nicole Kidman in some gossip magazines.

She's a very precocious girl, and her auditioning that acting was her all-time dream was just a cliché that everyone would say. Ninety-nine percent of the handsome men and beautiful women who want to enter Hollywood are nothing more than to become big stars, get paid millions of dollars for a movie, and live a prosperous life that ordinary people yearn for.

After chatting with the agent for a while, Charlize Theron returned to the motel in West Hollywood with mixed feelings.

...

After finishing the audition in the afternoon, Eric and Elizabeth went back to her and Julia's villa in Beverly Hills together. In the evening, Drew also took Tina Fey over for dinner.

Because of Eric's arrival, Elizabeth sent away the servants in the villa, and everyone gathered around the square table in the restaurant during dinner. Eric thought that the little episode in the afternoon was not remembered by anyone, but when all the meals were on the table and everyone was about to start, Elizabeth still asked.

"Eric, why did you suddenly laugh when interviewing that girl named Charlize Theron this afternoon?"

As soon as Elizabeth spoke, Drew followed suit and looked like a curious baby, looking at Eric with a strange expression: "Yeah, it's weird, I thought you would keep silent all the time, but speaking of it, that girl It's really beautiful."

Because of their different thoughts on Eric, the women present formed a very strange balance, and there was no scene of jealousy, but this did not mean that they would face other women calmly when they walked into Eric. Rick's life.

Even Julia, who hugged the little girl tightly as a 'talisman' as soon as Eric arrived at the villa, showed a curious expression after hearing the words of Elizabeth and Drew.

Eric shrugged with a frank face: "It's nothing to be surprised about. I just think that girl's performance is very interesting."

but. Obviously, Eric's personal credit value has reached a negative level in the hearts of several women. Hearing what he said, Elizabeth dragged her voice and said, "I think her performance is very good, although the final result will be decided after repeated discussions, but that girl is obviously not very suitable, I have decided to eliminate her. Lost."

Eric thought that it was inappropriate, and was about to speak when Drew, who was sitting on the other side, said, "Eric. If it's just for fun, it's not impossible, just don't bring it home, already Enough."

Seeing the helpless expressions of the other three women, Eric raised the spoon in his hand and knocked on the door of Ya's head: "You can talk!"

Xiao Nizi rubbed her forehead unconvinced: "Hmph, I'm obviously telling the truth."

While chatting, Eric's mobile phone in the living room rang, and Tina Fei, who was seated closest to the door, was about to get up: "I'll go get it."

"I'll do it," Eric held down Tina Fey and walked out of the restaurant.

The call was from Kapoor, and Eric exchanged a few words with him. Kapoor asked tentatively if he was interested in a girl when he was interviewing for "Buffy" in the afternoon.

Eric was a little surprised. He was interested in why Kapoor knew about this, so he asked.

Kapoor said: "It's like this, that girl's agent, Michelle Simmons, is now the agent of the New York branch, and used to be an employee of uta. You may not remember her. She called in the afternoon to ask. I'll test this with you, and she says the girl's potential is good, Eric, maybe give her a little more consideration if you can."

Uta is a brokerage company that was rebuilt after Eric bought Kapoor's personal brokerage company. Later, because of the federal anti-monopoly law, Eric sold all the shares of Uta, and Kapoor also brought all the stars and brokers of Uta. People joined, and it was two years ago. And before that, Eric didn't often care about the operation of uta, and of course he didn't remember a person like Michelle Simmons.

However, after all, it was his original subordinate, Eric did not hide it, and said the truth: "Kapoor, when I auditioned, I could actually see that the girl's potential is good, but she is not suitable for the role of Buffy. , I think she lacks a kind of innocence that a middle school student should have, and seems too mature, so she is more suitable for a role older than her, you can let that ... Michelle Simmons work hard in this regard. "

"Since..." Kapoor on the other side of the phone obviously hesitated for a moment before saying: "Eric, since you also think that girl has good potential and she hasn't left Los Angeles yet, are you interested in taking time to meet?"

Eric raised his eyebrows in surprise. Kapoor has always been very helpless about his affairs with several women, but he didn't expect to suddenly say this kind of 'matchmaking' this time: "Kapoor, you don't drink too much. Well, haven't you always been against me... um, like that?"

"Of course not," Kapoor on the other side said quickly, "I'm just asking for someone else. If you're not interested, forget it, and I'll tell her truthfully."

After saying this, Kapoor said goodbye and was about to hang up the phone, but Eric didn't want to let him go and smiled: "Don't hang up, Kapoor, what's going on, if you don't explain clearly, I will Do you want to find out for yourself?"

"Well, it's nothing, it's just that I owed Michelle a favor."

"That's it?" Eric was still a little puzzled.

Kapoor said: "That's it, Eric."

Eric thought for a while, but felt wrong again: "If you just owe the other party a favor, with the resources in your hand, you can give that girl a good chance, even if it is the protagonist of one or two movies. right?"

It is one of the three major Hollywood brokerage companies that is side by side with caa and wma. After joining with all the resources of uta, Kapoor has also become one of the senior partners with a part of the equity. With the resources in his hand, he wants to repay the other party. A favor should be a breeze.

Kapoor realized that Eric would not give up without asking clearly this time, so he had to say: "Eric, Michelle is a very professional woman."

"Does it have anything to do with this?" Eric asked.

Kapoor on the opposite side hummed and continued: "Michelle's main business is now in New York, but you also know that New York is the headquarters of many TV networks, and the business there is usually TV dramas or commercials. In fact, even if I don't participate at all, Michelle can still use her contacts to win some roles for that girl. But she should not be reconciled to maintaining the current state, she wants to be a movie star agent human direction.”

Eric wondered: "In this case, you can still easily help her, right?"

Kapoor's tone was a little helpless: "Eric, don't you understand? To put it more bluntly, Michelle hopes to be a gold-medal agent like Pie Jinsley who holds an A-level superstar, but this is not the case. It takes a lot of luck to be able to do it with just one or two movies. After all, only those movies that sell well at the box office can spawn superstars, and in the whole of Hollywood, at least in recent years, you have this kind of The 'opportunities' are obviously the most."

Eric thought for a while, then smiled: "It seems to be the case, so I've become the object of many people's minds?"

Kapoor said on the opposite side: "Of course, in the whole of Hollywood now, as long as it is a project that is involved with you, even if it is some roundabout involvement, it will become the focus of several major brokerage companies. In fact, Miss Barrymore and the others are doing "Barrymore" "Philip" I also know, if you pay attention, you will find that the actresses you auditioned for today should almost all come from the three major brokerage companies, and those small second- and third-tier brokerage companies can only grab very few audition places."

Eric was a little surprised, he really didn't pay attention to this, but thinking about it carefully, it should be the same. Not to mention the brokerage company's side, take the future broadcast schedule of "Buffy" as an example. He heard Elizabeth mention that Fox has booked the complete first season of "Buffy", and it will start in mid-September this year. Plays every Monday during prime time. This is hard to imagine for many TV shows that are only in the script stage. (To be continued...)
