Chapter 215: Coercion and Temptation
Later, she found out that this petite-looking girl was still very good, helped Theron deal with a lot of things, and her vision for choosing scripts was also okay, and she wouldn't dare to show Theron any book for money.
Susan glanced at the direction of the door to the training room, and walked to Lyra's side with a light step, "Can we talk in another place?" ”
"Of course. Leila made a walking gesture and asked her to lead the way.
Susan brought her into her office.
Thanks to the small number of people in the company, otherwise a novice economist like her can also share the good thing of an office, which is not available in other serious brokerage companies.
Making sure there was no one around, she closed the door to her office before letting out with a sigh.
"Sorry, OSS. I really don't want anyone to hear that. ”
"It doesn't matter. Leila sat down across from her, interested in what she was going to say, "What do you want to tell me?"
"Until then......" Susan hesitated for a moment before asking tentatively, "Is it true that you promised Charlize?"
Layla smiled and asked her, "Do you think I like to make jokes like this?"
"Of course not!" Susan hurriedly shook her head: "It's just that seeing her hard work during this time, I'm afraid of ......"
Of course, Leila knew what she was afraid of, wasn't she just worried that she would not get her role if she did what she asked for?
"Don't worry, I value Theron. She said no more. If an agent can't even understand such a straightforward hint, it's better not to continue in this business.
Susan breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good! That's good!"
She wasn't worried that Theron would not meet the requirements, she was only worried that the boss would just talk casually, and when the role was given to someone else, Theron would definitely be disappointed and collapse. Now that she has been affirmed by her boss, she is also relieved. That was the only thing she was worried about.
When Leila saw her face, blue and white, happy and depressed, she immediately thought that this girl was quite interesting, and everything was written on that face. That's not the way a broker should do things.
"Just say something. Is there some unfair treatment in the company?"
"No, it's not!" Susan frowned, finally having a bit of the female temperament she had when she was outside: "Actually, it's like this, you should have heard of the Express Company, right?"
Lyra nodded, "Of course." ”
How could she not know that it was a large international company that provided all kinds of services to successful people, and her grandfather and mother, and even she were senior members of that company?
"Is there anything wrong with Amex?" she asked.
Susan hesitated again before she said slowly under the boss's urgent gaze: "I received a call from someone claiming to be from Amex the other day, hoping that Theron would be invited to their upcoming annual meeting. ”
"Oh, that thing. I know that too. Leila's invitation was still in the drawer at home, and she wasn't too interested in that kind of thing, so she didn't plan to go to the appointment.
"Since you know, you must know who the annual party is entertaining, right?"
"Well, it's all ......" Layla was about to say when she suddenly stopped with a frown. Because she knows very well that with Theron's current reputation and income, she can't enter the peak party where the "big names" gather. So why did Yuntong look for her, the reason for this is debatable.
"Susan, tell me clearly, what the hell was said on that phone call?" she squinted, as if she had realized something.
They wanted Charlize to attend the party, and hinted that there was a powerful person who was interested in her and wanted to be friends with her. Susan was a little angry when she said this: "After hearing my rejection, she said that the powerful person didn't like to be rejected, and said that as long as she could help her get a few roles in the film industry in the past, he said something." ”
To put it simply, it is the unspoken rule of coercion and temptation, and Leila is very familiar with this, in her previous life, she met many rich people who were willing to "make friends" with the beauties in her crew. At that time, she had no roots, and there was no restraint on those people other than to turn a blind eye.
So much so that she didn't care about these things at all later, and the people below liked to play how they wanted, as long as they didn't make a mess of her TV series.
But this life is different, she has a solid foundation, and she also has the full support of her family, and she really wants to try what kind of warning she will get after rejecting the other party!
In the previous life, not all of the actresses in the crew would succumb to power and money, they also had ideals and were willing to work hard to get rewards.
There is one thing she remembers very clearly, it was during the filming of a TV series, and an actress with a supporting role was dug up by her from the extras before. The person is very beautiful, but he is not frivolous, and he works hard to perform.
She once smiled and told her that acting is her lifelong dream, and she must keep going no matter what obstacles she encounters.
But she broke her promise. After a certain rich man saw her in a supporting role on TV, he became interested in her as a "friend". First flowers, then jewelry, and a myriad of sweet words offensive.
But the girl refused, and the end of the refusal was to suddenly disappear from the crew one night, and then disappeared from the crew. It wasn't until a drinking party a few years later that Leila saw her again, dressed as a doll but blinded by the walking dead.
Later, she learned that the night the girl disappeared was taken away by the rich man. What happened after that, no one can guess.
That incident touched Leila a lot in her previous life, openly took people away from her crew, and destroyed a girl's innocent and pure dreams, who gave that person so much courage?
If she had the power to use, would that person dare to do the same?
However, it is not excluded that some actors are happy to find a ladder that can go straight up, and she needs to know what Theron herself thinks about this before Lyra makes a decision.
If she wants to, then she'll be happy to see it. If she doesn't!, Leila swears, no one can take anyone out of her crew by dirty means!
"Tell me, Susan. Would Charlize Theron accept the invitation?"
Susan glared, "Of course not!" she refused. It's just that she didn't let me report the incident, saying that she didn't want to cause trouble for the company. ”
However, compared to Theron's naivety, Susan felt that this matter should be known to Lyra. You must know that this boss of theirs is not a simple person. The identity of a new Hollywood director alone has already given her a lot of say in Hollywood, not to mention the huge lineup of Moran Media Group and Moran Clothing behind her.
