Chapter 1065: Scarlett Johansson
Although he was just an ordinary agent under WMA, Scott Lambert knew that Linda Vargas was famous, and at this time, Linda called aside, and the man's eyes were already a little irrepressible excited, and he took the initiative to ask: "Ms. Vargas, this ...... Is there something going on?"
Linda was looking at the little girl next to the man, but when she heard this, she looked up at the agent and confirmed, "Scott Lambert?"
"Oh, of course, I didn't expect Ms. Vargas to know about me," Scott Lambert was even more surprised and excited, and quickly took out a business card and handed it to Linda: "Ms. Vargas, this is my business card." ”
Linda took the business card and glanced at it, then looked at the little girl with a bit of eagerness in her doubtful eyes, and reached over to hold the girl's chin: "Smile and show me." ”
The little girl who was still Lolita obediently showed a shy smile.
Linda shook her head: "Let go." ”
The girl grinned slightly, revealing a pair of small, not-so-good-looking teeth. She obviously knew this, and subconsciously wanted to hang her head, but her chin was gently supported by the fingertips of the woman in front of her, and her expression turned pathetic.
Linda watched the girl's expression change, just smiled, and said to Scott Lambert next to her, "Arrange a dental correction for her in the near future, and besides, follow me." ”
As he spoke, he turned around and walked in the direction of the villa.
Scott Lambert, who vaguely understood something, had his eyes lit up, and hurriedly motioned for the little girl to follow, and the three of them walked through the crowd and entered the villa, and soon found a few people chatting on the sofa in the corner of the hall.
Scott Lambert looked at the past, all of them were unattainable celebrities in the past, Robert Redford, Brian De Palma, Al Pacino, Tim Robbins, Michelle Pfeiffer, Susan Sarandon...... So much so that the agent didn't even have the courage to take the initiative to come forward to greet him for a while.
However, the big names didn't have a fight at all in front of Linda Vargas, everyone greeted them warmly, and Michelle Pfeiffer also took the initiative to give up her place to Linda.
Linda was not polite, and after sitting down, she motioned for a little girl who was also a little cramped to step forward and said to Robert Redford: "Bob, aren't you preparing that "Horse Whisperer" missing a little girl, this is Scarlett, maybe let her try, Simon is very optimistic about her." ”
Hearing Linda mention Simon, everyone's eyes fell on the little girl.
Linda also reminded in a timely manner, although she was young but not ignorant at all, the girl quickly reacted and took the initiative to call people: "Mr. Redford, hello, my name is Scarlett Johansson, I am 12 years old this year, I just starred in "Annabelle", and I also played Mr. Sean Connery's daughter in Warner's "Fatal Trap". ”
Generous children are always more likable, not to mention that Linda just said that Simon is optimistic about this girl, and all the big names are pleasant, Robert Redford listened to the girl introduce herself, smiled and asked some questions, and decisively said that he could take the time to arrange a formal audition for her, and also told the girl how to prepare, read the original book of "The Horse Whisperer" and so on.
After a brief chat, Linda took the initiative to get up, left with the little girl and the agent, and came to the backyard again.
Taking a glass of red wine from the passing waiter, Linda took a sip, came to a flower bed with few people and stood still, and said to the two people who followed him: ""The Horse Whisperer" is a best-selling one published last year, Bob likes this story very much, and plans to direct and act by himself, which has been approved by Daenerys Pictures, in which the role of the little girl Grace is very important, so this is just an audition opportunity, if Scarlett's performance during the audition process is not up to standard, Simon will not agree." So, you guys are going to get ready and wait for me to tell you when the audition will be. ”
Scott Lambert agreed again and again, hesitated slightly, but finally couldn't hold back, and said tentatively: "Ms. Vargas, you just said ...... Mr. Westeros, well, is bullish on Scarlett?"
Linda didn't answer, but just glanced at Lambert with a meaningful look, took out her wallet, chose a business card and handed it over, and said, "It's my office number, Scott, I hope you can understand, if it's not something related to Scarlett, don't call this casually." ”
The woman in front of her did not answer directly, but Scott Lambert understood it thoroughly, took the business card calmly, and promised again and again: "Ms. Vargas, don't worry, I will definitely take care of Scarlett." ”
Linda nodded slightly, turned to the little girl again, reached out and rubbed the girl's head, and said softly, "Lucky little thing." ”
After saying that, he turned and left.
She didn't explain much, but Linda was sure that the agent should have figured it out.
Speaking of which, in fact, his boss didn't show much interest in the little girl just now, but occasionally mentioned a few words during the original casting process, and personally decided to give the role to the little girl.
However, attitudes are different after all.
Linda also took it to heart.
has been able to occupy her own position by her boss's side for so many years, Linda relies on figuring out someone's thoughts at all times, and it will not be wrong to quietly help her boss arrange certain things.
Although the girl is very small now, Linda doesn't feel anything wrong.
Not to mention that his boss has always been very measured, just to say that the power he has at this time, even if he really crosses the line a little, it is nothing at all, and some things are not rare in Hollywood, even if they are not common.
This is actually the second one.
When "The Conjuring 2" was filmed in the UK, there was also a little girl who was taken by her own boss, named Keira Knightley, who was a good embryo.
Therefore, it was also quietly arranged by Linda.
Looking at the figure of Linda Vargers leaving, Scott Lambert imagined his bright future for a moment, and the smile on his face couldn't be contained, and then looked at the girl around him, this was simply his lucky star.
It's a little smaller, but so what.
Even if he can't get any dividends directly from the little girl in the short term, just with the business card left by Linda Vargas just now, he can try to poach some well-known customers to his name, I believe that the woman just now can't let herself be a nanny for nothing, and always give some benefits.
That's the opportunity.
After a little consideration, Scott Lambert made up his mind, and when he saw that the girl next to him obviously understood something, he looked at her with a pair of green eyes, raised his hand and wanted to rub the girl's head like Linda Vargas just now, and raised his arm and subconsciously retracted it.
Now this is my aunt and grandmother, and I have to make offerings.
So he smiled mildly and said to the little girl, "Scarlett, let's discuss, how about not telling your mother about this matter?"
The girl rolled her eyes and said, "What about Simon Westeros liking me?"
Like this or not, Scott Lambert is really not sure, after all, there are so many women around Westeros, and this girl is still so young, it does not meet the taste of the rumored Simon Westeros at all. However, what is certain is that the little girl understands everything in her heart, and this is much easier, so she nodded and said, "Yes, if you want to be a big star, it's best to keep this matter secret, because your mother may mess things up." ”
The little girl thought for a moment, then nodded: "Okay, Scott, but in that case, what about the orthodontic thing?"
"It's very simple, just say that it is the request of the producer of "The Horse Whisperer". ”
The girl nodded, but added, "However, orthodontic surgery should be very expensive, and my mother will definitely not be able to afford it." ”
"It's not a problem, we'll figure it out. ”
After discussing one big and one small, I quickly made up my mind.
The unexpected surprise made the two of them much less interested in the party, after all, this was not the circle of the two of them, and they left early after less than half an hour.
Scarlett Johansson lives in the marine park area south of Santa Monica, and the agent drove the girl home at a time of nine o'clock.
Melanie Sloan opened the door and saw her daughter happily rushing into her arms, so she hurriedly hugged her, and then looked at the agent standing outside the door: "Scott, I'm really bothering you," After speaking, he hugged his daughter and turned sideways slightly: "Please come in and sit down for a while." ”
"It's okay, it's what I'm supposed to do. ”
It just so happened that there was still something to talk about, and when he heard Melanie's invitation, Scott Lambert smiled and walked through the door.
It's the second floor of a common two-story apartment in Los Angeles, which is already small, and the family of five is crammed into the living room.
The broker probably knows the situation of this one.
Melanie Sloan is a single mother who used to be in the New York film industry, divorced her husband two years ago, moved to Los Angeles for the development of her children's acting careers, and lived only on odd jobs and child support paid by her husband.
Speaking of which, this kind of thing is especially common in circles.
A single and divorced mother, whose star dream is shattered and shifts her sustenance, or hopes that her children will become famous and change her life, so she lives in Los Angeles with her children tirelessly looking for opportunities, the most typical and controversial of which is undoubtedly Brooke Littles's mother back then.
However, this is mainly due to Brooke Littles' later fame.
In order to make the child stand out in the circle, not to mention sending her 10-year-old daughter to take nude photos like Brooke Littles's mother, there are countless more outrageous things, but ordinary people don't know about it.
Scott Lambert also signed three of Melanie Sloan's four children on the face introduced by acquaintances in New York, he was more optimistic about Scarlett's sister Vanessa and brother Adrian, but unexpectedly, it was the little girl who was the least optimistic about him who unexpectedly gave him the biggest surprise.
When Scott entered, the other three children who had been probing their brains also greeted him.
Scott Lambert greeted patiently, casually looking at Vanessa Johnson, the girl is 16 years old this year, the eldest of four children, compared to the mother who is less than 1.6 meters tall, the girl who has probably inherited her father's genes is 175 cm tall, and her face is much better looking than her sister Scarlett, and even has the potential to be a supermodel embryo.
It's a pity that Hollywood has never lacked beautiful girls, even if she has a mother who is in the film industry and has personally trained her, Vanessa Johnson is much worse than her sister in terms of qualifications and opportunities.
However, looking at Scarlett, who is still thin and small, some faint thoughts in the agent's heart flashed.
Scott Lambert sat down on the living room sofa, took a glass of water graciously handed over by Vanessa, took a polite sip, and nodded with a smile when she saw that Scarlett couldn't wait to talk to her mother about "The Horse Whisperer" and Melanie Sloan looked at it in surprise, joy and disbelief.
"Yes, we met Mr. Redford tonight, and this is another new film he will direct and star in, funded by Daenerys Entertainment. And, in accordance with the ...... According to a person in charge of casting, this time it is a very heavy role, and if he can play it well, Scarlett will definitely become the hottest child star. ”
Melanie Sloan hugged her daughter, thought for a while and said, "The Horse Whisperer, I seem to have heard of a best-selling book published last year, but I don't know the content yet, by the way, Scott, is Scarlett sure you got the role?"
"Not yet, we need to audition," Scott said, seeing Melanie Sloane's disappointed expression, added, "But now that we were personally introduced to Mr. Redford by the casting officer, and the party was still very pleasant, Scarlett has a lot of hope." You just need to prepare well, and the first thing is to watch "The Horse Whisperer". In addition, the casting officer also suggested that Scarlett have orthodontic surgery. ”
When Melanie Sloan heard this, her face was sad again: "Orthodontics, this kind of surgery should be very expensive, I'm afraid...... By the way, Scott, if you can get the role, how much will Scarlett be paid this time?"
"It's definitely enough for Scarlett to make corrections, but even if you get the role, the salary will definitely not be available in the short term," Scott said, seemingly hesitating, looking at the humble rental apartment, and finally said, "This way, Melanie, if you want, I can lend you a sum of money in my own name, and Scarlett will get paid in the future, just pay me back." ”
"This ......"
Melanie Sloan hesitated, she didn't understand why the agent was suddenly so kind, and she was a little worried that she couldn't afford it. After all, dentists in the United States are notoriously expensive, and a corrective surgery can cost thousands of dollars or more, so much so that in this country, a person's birth class can often be judged by the quality of their teeth.
As he hesitated, feeling his daughter grabbing his arm and shaking it, Melanie Sloan quickly relented.
If you owe a debt, you will be in debt.
As long as her daughter can become famous, she will definitely be able to earn it back easily. Even if...... It's a big deal to let your parents or ex-husband save you.
After making up her mind, Melanie Sloan nodded to her agent, and did not forget to keep an eye on it, hoping that her daughter's participation in that movie would be more eyebrow-eyed.
Otherwise, it is possible to do no surgery or not to do it.
The agent just wanted a little girl to owe him a favor, of course he didn't care about these details, nodded in agreement, and began to talk to Melanie in detail about what preparations to make next.
