Chapter 824: Differential Treatment
After removing her makeup and coming out of the dressing room, Candace Swanepel joined up with her agent who was waiting outside and prepared to leave the crew.
The agent looked at the basics and asked, "Did Ronan Anderson say anything at the audition?"
Candace Swanepel said to her: "No, Ronan didn't say anything from beginning to end, like he didn't know me. ”
The agent frowned slightly: "I remember you have Ronan Anderson's contact information, right?"
The last time she attended the premiere of Relativity Entertainment's films, Candace Swaneple got Ronan's contact information, but never took the initiative to contact him.
It's been a year since she came to Hollywood, and Candace Swaneple is no longer ignorant, saying, "Wouldn't it be too good to contact Ronan now?"
The agent earnestly taught: "The outcome of the audition is often decided outside of the audition. ”
Candace Swanepel has seen a lot of things in the past year, and she was a little silent for a while.
A tall middle-aged man walked over from the front at this time, and the agent quickly pulled Candace Swanepel and greeted him first: "Hello, Director Bei." ”
Candace Swanepel looked up and happened to see Michael Bay's long face, and hurriedly said, "Director......"
Michael Bay smiled, "Hello, Miss Swaneple. He asked casually, "Is this about to leave?"
"The audition is done, and we're ready to leave," the agent said. ”
Candace Swanepel nodded slightly.
Michael Bay said: "You auditioned well, and your appearance and temperament met the requirements of the role. ”
As soon as these words came out, Candace Swanepel was overjoyed, and the agent was also relieved.
But Michael Bay's words were not finished: "By the way, tomorrow I'm going to have a party, I wonder if Miss Swaneple has time?"
If it was just when she came to Hollywood, Candace Swaneple would definitely be very happy to have an invitation from a big director of Michael Bay's level.
Nearly a year has passed, and Candace Swanepel knows a little bit about Hollywood's ecological environment.
Candace Swanepel had no choice but to pull out the only reliance: "Miss Charlize Theron has asked me to have dinner tomorrow night, sorry ......"
Michael Bay smiled and said, "That's a shame. ”
Hearing this, the agent's heart sank.
Candace Swanepel wasn't stupid either, she understood what was behind the words, and just tried to keep the smile on her face, but she didn't let go.
Thinking of the intentions behind this greasy middle-aged man with a long horse face, Candace Swanepel couldn't agree anyway.
This girl, who is only seventeen years old, is still in the stage of seeing the world with her face.
Michael Bay nodded slightly to the two: "Goodbye." ”
He didn't stop long and left without waiting for any response from Candace Swanepel and his agent.
Seeing the great Hollywood director leave, Candace Swanepour's heart was a little cold, and a thought suddenly popped into her mind: maybe Michael Bay just invited her to a party and had no other ideas.
But the thought was only fleeting, and Candace Swanepel soon showed a self-deprecating smile.
What is Hollywood like, have you seen less in the past year?
Suddenly, Candace Swanepel felt her prospects in Hollywood darken.
"You shouldn't just say no to him like that. The agent whispered, "There is a more tactful way." ”
Candace Swanepel whispered, "He's probably about the same age as my father. ”
The agent sighed: "He's Michael Bay after all." ”
There is a sentence she didn't say, in the face of Michael Bay, in the face of a big project like "Transformers", Charlize Theron is nothing.
Candace Swanepel lowered her voice: "I know, it's bad to do it, but I ......"
"I understand. The agent gently stroked Candace Swanepour's beautiful long blonde hair: "Candace, in a place like Hollywood, as an actor, especially an actress, if you want to get something, you need to give up something. ”
These are the words that the agent has long said to Candace Swanepour, and even Charlize Theron has reminded them.
Candace Swanepel understands that after more than a year, she thinks she has seen and listened enough, and she is ready to do so, but when things come to her head, especially when she sees the middle-aged horse-faced director, she still chooses to flatly refuse.
"Let's go. The agent reminded: "Candace, you'd better ......"
Candace Swanepel stopped abruptly and looked to the left while touching her agent's arm.
The agent quickly stopped talking and looked to the side, where Ronan Anderson was coming with his assistant, and several bodyguards were not far behind.
"Hi Ronan. Candace Swanepel offered to say hello.
Ronan smiled and replied, "Long time no see, Candace." ”
Then, Candace Swanepel greeted Connie again.
The agent saw Ronan and quietly stepped aside to fully highlight her client, and she could see that Candace Swanepau, who was also the big guy facing the crew, treated Michael Bay very differently than she did when she faced Ronan.
Candace Swanepel had a sweet smile on her face, and her voice was still so quiet: "We just met in the audition room. ”
Ronan followed her words and said, "The audition turned out to be good. ”
Candace Swanepel is also familiar with Ronan, and specifically asked, "So, I have hope to get this role?"
Ronan shrugged slightly: "It's undecided for the time being, there are other actors to audition tomorrow." ”
"Oh......" Candace Swanepel was a little disappointed, but didn't show it: "It's very competitive. ”
Ronan looked at Candace Swanepel and said, "Be patient, wait a while." ”
At this time, the agent suddenly stepped forward and said, "Candace, didn't you just say that you wanted to invite Mr. Anderson to dinner with you in the evening?"
Candace Swanepel resisted the urge to turn her head to look at her agent and followed her agent's words and said, "Ronan, do you have time?"
Her bright eyes drifted over Ronan, and she didn't feel any disgust at the agent's assertions, but said, "Last time, you gave me a chance to work with Director Ball, and I haven't thanked you. ”
Ronan waved his hand: "You're welcome. ”
Candace Swanepel said, "I can't afford to invite you to a big dinner, but can I treat you to a simple dinner as a token of appreciation?"
Ronan had something to do at night, and he wanted to refuse, but when he saw the South African girl standing in front of him, he didn't really want to refuse.
This girl who is only seventeen years old, with long thighs and a thin waist, is very in line with his aesthetics.
Frankly, when it comes to physical appearance, Candace Swanepel is a clear winner over South African diamond Charlize Theron.
Ronan has never been one to hesitate, especially in this regard, so he decided to take it personally.
"What time does the evening meeting start?" Ronan asked.
Connie said directly: "At half past six, the crew meeting started on time on the seventh floor of the Relativity Building. ”
Ronan said, "Well, Candace, I'll ask you. ”
"No, no......" Candace Swanepel hurriedly said, "It's I who want to thank you." ”
Ronan glanced at the time: "Okay, let's go directly to the Relativity Building, there is a restaurant on the first floor that tastes good and is very affordable." ”
Candace Swanepel said: "Okay. ”
The agent automatically followed the two, looking at Candace Swanepel who was chatting and laughing with Ronan, and then thinking about Michael Bay before, this difference is too obvious, right?
Hollywood is really a place where people can transform quickly!
Having said that, regardless of power or age, Ronan Anderson is far above Michael Bay.
Sitting on Ronan's Rolls-Royce Phantom, Candace Swanepel was just about to speak, Connie's mobile phone on the co-pilot rang, she answered it and said a few words, hung up and said to Ronan: "Gulfstream's phone, the business jet we ordered is in place, and they invite you to go to the inspection in three days." ”
Ronan said, "Yes, you can arrange your schedule and recruit captains and flight attendants. ”
Connie cautioned: "The company has already recruited two pilots, and the flight attendants will be in place soon." ”
Ronan nodded slightly: "Hurry up and go through the formalities, especially for international routes." ”
Relativity Entertainment placed an order with Gulfstream a year ago for business jets, except for one for Ronan's exclusive use and the other for the company's use.
Arriving at the Relativity Building, Ronan and Candace Swanepel went straight to the restaurant on the first floor.
Connie went upstairs to prepare for the Transformers theater meeting that night.
Candace Swanepoel's agent left halfway through.
This is the Relativity Building, and most people know Ronan, who calmly sits with Candace Swanepel on the window seat.
On the side of women, Ronan has always dared to act boldly, although he is not high-profile, but he is not very secretive.
In the booth, Candace Swanepel munched on seafood and said, "It tastes good, it reminds me of the taste of home." ”
Ronan said casually, "I've heard Sally say that South African paella is very good. ”
"yes. Candace Swanepel nodded.
Ronan sighed: "It's a pity that it's hard to eat authentic food in Los Angeles." ”
Candace Swanepel laughed, "You want to eat now? She paused slightly: "It's better than this, I'll wait for you to finish the meeting, go to my place together, and make you a supper to taste." ”
The offer is quite tempting.
But Ronan had just seen Candace Swaneple's profile when he auditioned in the morning, a girl who was only seventeen years old.
In the United States, in Los Angeles, it's troublesome.
"This one is going to be long. Ronan politely refused: "Not necessarily when." ”
Candace Swanepel said: "It's okay tomorrow, I can call Sally. ”
Ronan shook his head: "I'm going to India early tomorrow morning." His heart moved, and he tentatively invited, "Are you interested in going to Mumbai to enjoy Indian food together?"
