Early morning, Los Angeles Century City, Left Bank Cafe.

Lester walked in, and saw his reserved place, a middle-aged Mexican man sitting leisurely in his seat drinking coffee, listening to the piano music played by street performers in the café with great interest.

"He's David Moria,"

Lester secretly thought that although the other party was listening to the black man playing piano music, his arrogant appearance obviously did not take the black man seriously, and looked at the black man with some disdain.

"What do you need to drink?" asked the waiter, who saw Leicester with a familiar eye;

As is, Starbucks coffee!

Rice features his favorite type of coffee.

Now as a frequent customer of this house, the waiter naturally knows, hears Lester's words, understands what Lester needs to drink, add sugar or not, turn around and go down to prepare.

Hello, Mr. David. ”

Lester sat across from David Moria and said hello;

Lester was disgusted by the other party's natural tone last night, but considering that CAA is now thriving, he still felt that he couldn't refuse on the phone, and decided to meet with him, wanting to know how much information they knew.

So as soon as he sat down, Lester politely shouted;

"You're Leicester. ”

David Moria looked at Lester, and the other party's appearance was already a little different from that in the "Raiders of the Lost Ark 2" movie.

Lester in the film is a little immature, but now the real person is standing in front of him, watching it very energetically, and his immature appearance has gradually disappeared and become a little more mature and stable.

"I don't know what Mr. David is looking for me. ”

Lester didn't talk nonsense to David, and asked directly;

David took out the contract from his bag and put it in front of Lester, and said with an arrogant face: "You performed very well in the film, after our evaluation, you have A-level potential, and if you sign you, you will be an artist of our CAA agency, and you will enjoy our resource recommendation." ”

The tone that took it for granted that Leicester would sign, Lester's eyebrows, he was very suspicious of how he became one of the top agents.

Lester thought and said, "I refuse." ”

Davy Moria, who was thinking about finishing things quickly so that he could go back to his life, heard Lester's words, was slightly stunned, and suspected that he had hallucinated, and asked uncertainly, "What did you say?" ”

I refuse!, Lester said word for word;

"You refuse, God, I don't have auditory hallucinations," David Moria looked incredulous, opened his mouth and bombarded Lester with a series of mouths: "You know what it means to refuse the contract of the CAA agency, a rookie actor, it is your great luck to be favored by our CAA, especially our CAA contract does not restrict your freedom to choose the script, you must know that the other two major agencies are not as good as our CAA agency now." ”

But I refused. ”

Listening to the mouth cannon in his ear, talking about the benefits of their company's contract, Lester said at one time;

You... David Moria looked slightly relieved, and looked at Lester with some deflatedness.

He had never seen a rookie actor who was not restrained in front of him, but it was the first time he met someone who spoke unpolitely, and he was angry in his heart, and said angrily: "You are not the only talented actor, don't think about entering our company if you miss it," After speaking, he picked up the signing contract on the table with some indignation, got up and walked out of the Left Bank Cafe.

Mr. Lester, your Starbucks coffee!

David Moria had just left, and the waiter was holding the ground coffee in front of Lester.

David Moria's departure did not affect Lester's mood, and he picked up his coffee and drank it.

Lester didn't care about what David Moria said after leaving, and if Michael Ovitz released it, it might make Lester feel dangerous.

The packaging plan of the CAA agency may be slowly affecting Hollywood, but the CAA agency has only been established for 9 years, and the CAA packaging plan has not yet reached the strength of 86 years, and even if it is strong, it will not affect the whole of Hollywood.

After all, Michael Ovitz is not the only legend, and it is impossible to influence the minds of those giants.

Michael Ovitz couldn't have embarrassed a newcomer because of his rejection, and David Moria might have caused her a little trouble in private.

…

CAA brokerage company, David Moria walked into the company with a body of anger, and the other staff members saw this and avoided it one after another, so as not to be used to vent their anger.

David Moria walked into the leader's office, and the staff outside whispered, curious who could make David Moria angry like that.

In Michael Ovitz's office, David Moria walked in, suppressed the anger in his heart, put the contract on the table, looked at Michael Ovitz with a flattering smile, but said in a dark tone to Lester: "Boss, Lester didn't sign it, refused our invitation, you said that this newcomer is too ignorant, and if you refused, you said that we are not as good as the other two major brokerage companies." ”

Although David Moria suppressed the anger, the unhappiness in his tone could not be suppressed.

Michael Ovitz naturally heard it, and didn't care about David Moria's words, but was a little surprised that Lester would refuse such a good contract, and said in a deep voice: "He refused, then you don't need to look for him, you go down to work!"

Yes, "Success hacked Lester in front of Michael Ovitz, which made David Moria feel a lot less angry, whether he could succeed in making Michael Ovitz disgusted with Lester, he didn't know, and when he heard Michael Ovitz rushing people, he hurriedly retreated.

said that Leicester was here, after drinking coffee, he returned to the villa to change his clothes, and then came to Bird Film and Television.

Walking into the office, Emmanuel was already sitting on the couch waiting for him.

"You're finally here, it's time for us to go to New York City. ”

As soon as he saw Lester come in, Emmanuel said hurriedly;

They went to New York this time for the "Ah Gan True Story" fan signing held by Penguin Press.

Penguin Press held the fan signing in New York Times Square in New York City, where there was a large space and a bookstore that was just right for the fan signing.

In early May, Penguin began building momentum for "The True Story of Agam" after receiving Leicester's approval for a fan signing, advertising that the author himself would appear at the fan signing to sign autographs for them.

Penguin Press itself wants to put the fan signing meeting in July to build momentum for "The True Story of Ah Gan", but because July is the opening ceremony of the Los Angeles Olympics, many people will go to watch the Olympics, which will reduce the sales of "The True Story of Ah Gan", so the fan signing meeting can only be placed in June.

Let's go! Lester handed his things to his assistant and followed Emmanuel on the plane to New York City.
