The involvement of the United Nations in the Korean Peninsula War led by the United States was a landmark event after the opening of the Cold War. While Truman successfully obtained the war funds, the atmosphere in the United States became more and more tense, and Evan, who was always concerned about current affairs, had observed a number of developments that worried him from many details.

For example, Hollywood's days are getting worse and worse, not only does the blacklist continue to grow, affecting many people's jobs, but the total box office is getting lower and lower.

For example, a year after joining Caltech, Mr. Qian was deprived of his security clearance, preventing him from entering the lab to conduct research.

Meanwhile, a senator from Wisconsin took advantage of the situation. This bold Republican congressman, when the Democratic Party administration was relieved by the victory of the Inchon landing, directly pointed the finger at the source of the war, claiming: "It was precisely because of the failure of the Democratic Party's China policy that the stage for the Korean War was set up, and the Democratic Party betrayed the United States." This argument not only dealt a fatal blow to Truman, who was in the midst of the midterm elections, but also put the senator at the pinnacle of his life.

As the son of a Republican, Evan has heard a lot about the congressman's arguments lately. He was disgusted, but he never directly commented. He felt more of a powerlessness.

Powerlessness in all aspects.

It's hard times in Hollywood, and it's the same for DreamWorks. DreamWorks' several productions since last year have failed to achieve the desired results. Although it didn't reach the point of loss, after deducting various expenses, I didn't make a penny. So, in order to boost the performance, Jack Warner hit the idea on the Evan couple. He asked Evan for the script he cherished, and tried to persuade Audrey to be the heroine. Unfortunately, Evan was relieved, but ran into a wall with Audrey.

Evan was happy about this, but at the same time he felt a trace of guilt.

Not to mention, I feel guilty because his appearance completely changed Audrey's life. She had the opportunity to become the brightest star of Hollywood in this era, but now not only can she no longer dance the dance she loved since childhood, but she will be bound by him.

Was this change a good thing for Audrey? In the past, Evan sometimes couldn't help but ask himself.

However, this lack of confidence and guilt did not affect Evan too much, but made Evan more determined.

Audrey is my angel, and I am the son of God who changed the course of her destiny.

The world has entered a different fork in the road, for better or for worse, I can't be sure.

I can only guarantee that she will be far happier than she was on the other fork in the road.

……

"Evan?"

Jack Warner stretched out his hand and shook it in front of Evan's eyes, Evan's body trembled slightly, he came back to his senses from his distraction, and said embarrassedly: "Sorry...... Well, where are you talking about?"

Jack didn't care about Evan's distraction, glanced at the host's house, and saw that the dinner party hadn't officially started, so he said reassuringly: "What I just said was about CAA." There are a lot of people signing on the CAA side, will you continue?"

Major studios shrank their spending, a large number of Hollywood employees lost their jobs, and the CAA, as an agency, opened up signings at Evan's instructions. Jack understood that Evan was trying to take advantage of the opportunity to gather talent, so he didn't object, and it didn't cost too much to sign anyway. However, since you have signed someone, you have to try to solve the work problems of others. The more people there are, the heavier the burden on CAA. To keep talent on the line, CAA needs to develop more projects.

It's too hard for Jack.

That's why Jack complained in front of Evan to remind him that it was time to take it. If this continues, CAA will lose its reputation.

Seeing this, Evan casually asked, "How many new people have been signed during this time?"

Jack reported the numbers, and when Evan heard it, he was surprised: "It's so many, is the agent busy?"

Jack raised his eyebrows and said, "Isn't this what you asked, I can't be busy, and I have to accept it." ”

Evan said, "Aren't you going to be flexible?" ”

"Alright, let's tighten the terms of the contract. ”

"Also, with so many people, there will definitely be difficulties on the project side. Evan scratched his forehead and said very considerately: "Well, Jack, in a few days, you can ask someone to come to me, I have a few ideas, you can ask someone to evaluate the feasibility." ”

"What type of idea?" asked Jack curiously.

Evan replied, "It's the planning of the TV show." ”

"Okay!" Jack had no doubts about Evan's abilities, joking, but he knew that the idea for her sister's now best-selling series was Evan's.

After saying CAA's affairs, Carl, who saw that the guests had arrived, announced the start of the banquet, and the specially customized birthday cake was pushed out, and at the same time, Jenny was also carried out by her mother Ginny herself.

Jenny was in good spirits, and instead of sleeping, she looked around curiously with wide eyes, and her lovely appearance immediately attracted the surprise and admiration of the guests.

At the beginning of the banquet, the hostess Carl gave a speech, sang a birthday song in unison, and sent blessings to Jenny. After a brief celebration, Jenny was carried out of the living room.

In this kind of banquet, Jenny is nominally the protagonist, but in fact the adults are the real protagonists.

Among the guests invited by the Carls, there was a similar proportion of neighbors and friends and colleagues.

Beverly Hills is a community of high-end people, including Hollywood stars and Los Angeles celebrities. In this case, socializing is indispensable.

Evan, as Carl's boss, and Audrey and Jenny are close, so they were naturally highlighted by Carl, so they were looked at by many neighbors.

In this case, Evan also had to passively experience what a star is, and he was overwhelmed with the fact that he was perhaps simply curious or to pull guests with different relationships.

This made Evan even more determined to attend less of such banquets in the future.

At mid-nine, Evan and Audrey left Carl's villa early.

When he got home, Evan sat down on the couch and complained as he untied his bow tie, "Audrey, did you do it on purpose today? ”

Audrey turned on the electric fan in the living room, and the wind blew her long hair and skirt fluttering.

"yes!" Audrey glanced back at Evan and said, "I thought you enjoyed being surrounded by so many beautiful women." ”

Evan rolled his eyes and said, "Where is the beauty, why didn't I see it?"

Audrey said, "Isn't it?"

She made a chest support movement with both hands, "Those chests are like balloons stuffed, I don't believe you didn't see it." ”

Evan then understood what the problem was, and beckoned to Audrey. Audrey hesitated, then walked over to Evan.

Evan gently pulled Audrey into his arms and said in her ear: "It's okay, Audrey, when you have a child, you will grow up there, don't worry about the child running out of milk." ”

"You!"

Audrey blushed and Evan wrestled on the couch.
