Chapter 24: Blonde Actress
Restaurant, in a quiet partition.
Carmen Kath pulled her long straight hair back behind her head, put down the knife and fork in her hand, and asked Ronan curiously, "Have you been busy lately?"
That night, this guy asked for a call, but she never called, she went to Europe for a week of shows, and the commercial she returned to Los Angeles to shoot was completed.
Ronan picked up a napkin and wiped his mouth, and said, "I've been working too much lately, and I'm so busy that I can't wait to divide one person into two people." ”
If Carmen Kath hadn't called, he would have been so busy that he almost forgot about this woman.
"Preparing a new movie?" Carmen Cayce had heard Ronan say that night.
Ronan smiled: "It's not just the new movie, but also the company." It's the beginning, and there's so much to worry about. He deliberately said: "The company needs to recruit people and make the next development plan. For a new film, you need to decide on the director, choose the location, and find the right actors......"
Carmen Kath rubbed her forehead, "So troublesome? ”
Ronan was calm: "At the beginning of his career, it's all like this. You models had the same hard time at first, right?"
"Hmm. Carmen Kayth replied, as if thinking of some painful memory, and her already melancholy green eyes deepened, and after a while she said, "This industry is as competitive as Hollywood." ”
Ronan said softly: "You have already survived, unlike me, you are still in the entrepreneurial stage." ”
Carmen Kath asked curiously, "Are men so ambitious?"
"I don't know much about others. Ronan said slowly, "I think that career is important for both men and women. I'm young, I'm only twenty years old, and it's time to work hard. ”
Carmen Keith nodded, "Makes sense." She lifted her glass and raised it to Ronan, "I'm going to work hard too." ”
Ronan raised his glass in response, and after taking a sip of water, he said, "I wish you all the six blue-blood brands as soon as possible." ”
"This one is too hard. Carmen Kath said with a smile.
Ronan deliberately encouraged: "Four major magazines, six blue bloods, eight red bloods." If you work in this direction, you may be able to gather it one day. ”
Carmen Kath shook her head: "Not even the top five supermodels." ”
Having said that, I was very happy in my heart: this Ronan Anderson is really an interesting person.
Who wouldn't want to be a supermodel?
At the end of lunch, Carmen Kath asked, "Do you still have to work in the afternoon?"
Ronan thought about it, nodded anyway, but invited, "Carmen, do you want to visit my company?"
"Is that okay?" Carmen Kath was curious, "Won't disturb your work?"
Ronan said, of course, "No." ”
The two left the restaurant, Carmen Cayce took Ronan's car to Shahai Entertainment, and only one person in the company was left to answer the phone and receive the visiting agent, and the others went to run outreach.
Ronan invited Carmen Kath into the office and said, "Sit as you like." ”
Carmen Kath took a serious look at Ronan's office, which, like the company, was small and very simple to furnish, and seemed very functional.
"It's not what I thought. Carmen Kath said.
Ronan took a glass of water for her and said, "Small company, few people, small place. ”
Carmen Kath answered, "There's a good host. ”
"I'm not a good host right now. Ronan continued to sell honesty: "My last film was too aggressive and almost bankrupted the company, so Leonardo called me a loser." ”
"Everyone has setbacks at times. Carmen Kayce reflects on her own experience: "Success always comes with setbacks. ”
Ronan was poured a bowl of chicken soup and nodded in response, "I hope it won't be a setback this time." He turned to the back of his desk and said, "I'll take care of the mail first, you can take a look at it." ”
Carmen Keith deliberately asked, "You don't have anything to keep secrets, do you?"
"Nope. Ronan turned on the computer and logged in to the mailbox: "Look at it casually." ”
Mary and George sent him an email, the former renting weapons and props, and the latter coordinating the vehicle, with an update on their work.
James Wong's friend Glenn Morgan also sent an email, and the screenwriter was specially hired by him to refine and polish the script for "The Human Eradication Project."
He is well aware that even though Anderson Jr. is talented in playwriting, he lacks experience.
Glenn Morgan's email made changes to two scenes and three subplots, and after reading it, Ronan felt that Glenn Morgan's changes were more appropriate, and wrote back to Glenn Morgan to go to the studio tomorrow, and the two of them discussed it with James Wong.
Sometimes, brainstorming can also be beneficial.
Ronan has read the scripts of James Wong and Glenn Morgan, and compared to the "Human Removal Plan" written by himself, in many aspects, except for the advantage of foresight, it is not as good as these two veteran screenwriters.
Either way, he's a newcomer with little Hollywood experience.
After processing the email, Ronan made a phone call, and the employee outside brought a large stack of papers and placed them on the desk.
Carmen Kath looked curiously, the stack of papers was more than two feet thick, and it seemed to have pictures attached.
"Is this an actor profile?" she asked.
Ronan took a stack, flipped through it, and replied while looking at it: "These are the actors' materials sent to the company by the agent." ”
Carmen Keys's modeling circle is inextricably linked to Hollywood, and she asked curiously, "Can I take a look?"
Ronan pointed to the chair across from the desk and said, "Let's come and see together." ”
These are ordinary customers of small brokerage companies, and there is no secret at all.
Carmen Kayth pulled out a chair and sat down, took a copy of the document and read it, but she spoke good English, read it a little poorly, and read it slowly.
Ronan was very fast, and most of the things he saw were thrown to the right hand.
Looking at Ronan's serious appearance, Carmen Kaith's memories of when she first entered the modeling training class, when she was also so serious and hardworking.
Serious efforts may not be able to change fate, but if you don't work hard, you won't even have the opportunity to change your fate.
Carmen Kayth didn't know what she was thinking, and subconsciously asked, "Is there anything I can do to help?"
Ronan looked up at her, and he was not polite, as if he regarded it as his own: "Carmen, you pick a specific actor from the profile." Blonde brown-haired girls from 10 to 14 years old, blonde brown-haired actresses from 16 to 20 years old, blonde brown-haired actresses born around 60 years old, and actors born 60 years ago with the same hair color. ”
Carmen Kath replied, "Okay. ”
Ronan also advised: "There must be people with acting experience, and community theater performance experience is also counted." ”
Carmen Kaith, at Ronan's request, also flipped through it, and each document was accompanied by a photo, which was clear and clear.
This kind of work is boring, the two chatted while flipping through it, and most of the time Carmen Cayss asked about Hollywood, and Ronan answered.
"You have such good conditions, you might as well come to Hollywood as an actor. Ronan joked casually.
Carmen Kayth didn't answer this, but asked, "Why do you have to choose a blonde brown-haired actor?"
Ronan didn't mention it again, and replied: "This is a family, and the hair color has continuity, especially the three actresses, who will play the mother and daughter in the film." ”
"Actors can dye their hair. Carmen Kath said.
Ronan nodded first: "You can indeed dye your hair." Then he shook his head: "There's a culture in Hollywood that non-blonde actresses generally don't like to dye their hair blonde. ”
He glanced at Carmen Kath's blonde hair and didn't continue.
Carmen Kayth immediately understood, laughing at herself: "I have been in both the United Kingdom and the United States, and this is not a Hollywood problem, but a general social problem, and many people discriminate against blonde women as outward manifestations without brains." ”
Ronan said, "Those who think this way don't have brains. ”
Carmen Kath couldn't help but laugh.
With the help of this female model, the information was quickly sorted out, and Ronan got more than a dozen useful actor resumes, including a few familiar names, which were specially drawn with a pen.
"Thank you for your help. Ronan asked tentatively, "I'll treat you to dinner in the evening." ”
Carmen Keith refused: "No need. "I'm going to take a set of photos in the evening, and tomorrow I'm going back to Europe," she explains. ”
Ronan sighed, "It's a pity. ”
Carmen Kayth added: "I'll come back to the U.S. in a while. ”
Ronan smiled and said, "I will also go around Europe when I have time." ”
As soon as the sun turned to the west, he saw Carmen Kayth off and thought back to the two times they had been together, this woman was quite interesting, keeping her distance and leaving a sense of nostalgia.
Is this what I'm going to pursue?" Ronan guessed.
