Chapter 1071: The Past

(Epigraph - Many years have passed, and people have said that old things can be buried, but I finally realized that this was wrong, because the past will climb up on its own.) Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info)

The white homely Rolls-Royce phantom winds its way along the winding road in Beverly Hills, and Cheng Xiaoyu opens the electric curtains, and a ray of sunlight quietly shines into the carriage.

He didn't know that Charlize Theron had regarded him as a life coach, so he didn't really care why Charlize Theron asked him about which broker to hire and how to position him in the future, and felt that the other party might just ask politely.

It stands to reason that Cheng Xiaoyu should arrange an agent for Charlize Theron before she becomes famous, or a manager can squeeze Charlize Theron's value to the maximum.

But Cheng Xiaoyu did not do so, first, because it is not legally permissible that, under California law, any person or company engaged in or employed in the production and distribution of films, or who has any interest in any production or distribution company, may not, directly or indirectly, engage in the business of brokering or enjoy the interests of brokers, whether a person or a company.

That is, no matter how many people Cheng Xiaoyu has become popular through movies, it is impossible to bind the other party with a paper contract, and even he can't share the dividends after becoming popular with the other party.

Unlike in Huaxia, actors or actors' studios are often tied to film companies through contracts, so Huaxia often makes trouble about actors and film companies collapsing and then filing lawsuits because of the uneven distribution of interests.

As for Justin Bieber, his identity is a singer, and the signing company is "The Sound of Rain", which has nothing to do with "Xichu", so it is not in this case, the only signed artist of "Xichu" is Sun Jingyao, but she signed "Huaxia Xichu", and "American Xichu" has nothing to do with it in principle.

Second, it is not completely impossible to indirectly control Charlize Theron through "black" brokers and managers, but according to the law, this contract is signed for a maximum of one year and extended for a maximum of three years, of course, this is enough to squeeze a lot of value, but Cheng Xiaoyu is not such a stingy mercenary person, and he will not make trouble in the future for such a small amount of money.

In addition, Charlize Theron still has an appetite for him, so he once gave her a chance to become a multimillionaire, but unfortunately she couldn't grasp it.

No matter what, Cheng Xiaoyu didn't plan to interfere too much in Charlize Theron's life, so he typed back: "Miss Charlize, I think the three major economic companies in Hollywood are good, just don't look for a black agent." ”

This is a very formulaic answer, and it cannot be said that it is wrong, but it is clear that such an answer is not sympathetic enough.

Charlize Theron saw Cheng Xiaoyu's reply, and did not mean to point her out, and immediately became a little anxious, only she knows how difficult her success is, she doesn't want to make a mistake on the way forward, her goal is to become the top actor in Hollywood, and at this time, the most reliable person who can support her is Cheng Xiaoyu, she knows that she can't miss this opportunity.

Mileage Xiaoyu didn't reply to her text message last night, and she also saw that Catherine Blanchett was going to star in Cheng Xiaoyu's $600 million production, so she had some gains and losses, so she didn't hesitate at this time, and after thinking about what to say in her mind, she directly dialed Cheng Xiaoyu's phone.

Before the phone was connected, she coughed twice to keep her voice in the most beautiful state, and after four long tones, Cheng Xiaoyu's "hello" came from there.

Charlize Theron held the phone tightly, and said in a pious and even slightly humble tone: "Director Cheng, I'm sorry to disturb you? If the timing is not right, I will call you at another time." ”

"It's all right, Miss Charlize, you say, I'm all right now. ”

Charlize Theron said slowly, a little nervously, "I know it's presumptuous, Mr. Cheng, but your advice is really important to me..... For me..... You're like a father or a brother..... I don't know if it's a bit abrupt to say this, but I really think so, my father is French, my mother is German, I was very happy as a child, but when I was twelve years old my parents divorced, my mother took custody of me, and then took me to Europe, and bad luck followed me ever since. ”

Cheng Xiaoyu's even breathing sound came from there, knowing that Cheng Xiaoyu was listening carefully, Charlize Theron felt a little relieved, and continued: "Actually, my wish when I was a child was just to be a dancer, I started to learn ballet at the age of six, and thought that it would be my life's career and glory, but unfortunately at the age of 14, due to a performance accident, my knee was injured, and I can't dance on the stage anymore....."

"It was the most painful and desperate time for me, my mother was not in good health, so I had to work hard and earn money as a model while starting my school again..... Looking back now, I don't even know how I got through it. ”

"When I was eighteen, my mother suggested that I come to Los Angeles for college and that I could come to Hollywood, and here I saw my hope of returning to the stage, so I struggled in this mud, and I used to think that all Hollywood producers and directors were either perverts or gay, but you made me see a completely different ...... World, to be honest, I was also taking advantage of you at first, hoping to get a chance from you...... I really wanted to be an actor. ”

Speaking of this, Charlize Theron's tone was a little excited, and his voice became louder, but Cheng Xiaoyu did not say anything to comfort him.

Charlize Theron calmed down a bit and continued: " But I hope you can understand, I'm not the kind of woman who doesn't know shame, for more than five years, I've been running around in Los Angeles looking for an opportunity, it's not easy to survive here, it's hard to pay for my tuition and living expenses just by working as a model, I've worked as a waiter, worked as a cashier, or done any other chores that can earn room and board for me, and then I found a relatively stable bank job after graduating from college, but I always hope that I can become an actor, this is my dream. ”

"You also know that it's easy to become an actor in Hollywood, just go to the Screen Actors Guild and sign up, but if you can get a play, hehe....." Charlize Theron smiled wryly and continued: "Either you have a background, you have a relationship, or you have luck and talent..... But I had nothing but desperately looking for opportunities, and I knew that in Hollywood I had to sell something in exchange for something, and I saw with my own eyes that those women took the initiative to give up and then got the role of inconsequential....."

"But I didn't do that, not that I was so high, or that I looked down on them, in fact, I tried to go with the flow, but I really... Didn't make it ......"

"Almost two years ago, I went to an audition, and it has become an instinct for me to pursue the glory of the future, and it is the film of the famous Hollywood producer Brooke Heimer. At that time, he invited me to his house on Saturday to discuss the script, and although I knew it was a bit dangerous, I went anyway to ....."

Cheng Xiaoyu spoke up for the first time: "And then?"

"Well, he didn't beat me, the wine had already hollowed out his body, and he was so much shorter than me, and I went out the door, and he roared in the back, 'Cousin, I won't call me any chance in Hollywood.'" ”

Charlize Theron was quite calm here, and did not have that hateful tone, she said lightly: "Then it was true, it made me doubt God, and I was depressed by the insensitivity of fate itself, on the one hand, I had to do all kinds of work to earn money for my studies, and on the other hand, it seemed that all of Hollywood was against me, and I once wrote to the Screen Actors Guild to complain, but unfortunately it was lost." ”

"I watched the news about Brooke Hemmer in the newspapers, and there were still countless women trying to climb into his bed and try to blend in with his crew. He still lives his life of a dog, even if a female reporter named Ella Kay once took advantage of his weakness and played an actor who wanted to get a role, and filmed him on the yacht, which became the news for a while, but he is still the master of his own destiny, in fact, Hollywood has never cared about the voice and dignity of us who don't matter......"

"But the more that's the case, the more I want to succeed, and I just want to tell that vile and shameless person that I can, I'm going to endless parties, going to endless auditions with producers with their eyes on your breasts, and getting phone numbers or room numbers..... Then my bottom line fell step by step, and sometimes I really didn't know whether I should give up my dream or give up my bottom line, and I even had the idea of wanting to go back to Europe at one point. ”

Charlize Theron paused, then took a deep breath and said, "I'm so glad you showed up at this time. ”

"I admit that I was a little sick and rushed to the doctor, after all, you are Chinese, and you don't exactly belong to the Hollywood circle, I saw some slim opportunities in you, so I grabbed a life-saving straw..... Actually, I never thought in my heart that I could really win the chance, I just tried it out of blind inertia, I thought you were like all the Brooke Heimer in Hollywood, and I even imagined what you would do after you made those demands on me........ But I never thought that you would really become my God, my savior. ”

"I am truly grateful to you, and I must admit that you have completely changed the course of my life, but all I can do now seems to be grateful...... Or" Charlize Theron was a little incoherent at this point.

Cheng Xiaoyu interrupted Charlize Theron's words to prevent her from continuing, his voice was like a warm breeze in Los Angeles: "Charlize, since this is the case, let me remain loyal to this ideal image in your heart...... I was very touched by your words, so ..... I'm going to pick you up now, and we'll go to Las Vegas together..... Where is there a role that originally belonged to you, although it was only a supporting role, it is also worth playing..... The next sequel to "Midnight Bell" is starring you, rest assured that this time it will be a big investment of at least twenty or thirty million, and then I will tailor a script for you to hit the Golden Globe Awards or even the Oscars. ”

"Then you can be an actor with peace of mind, no one in Hollywood can force you to do anything...... I promise. ”

Charlize Theron cried with joy on the other end of the phone, Cheng Xiaoyu did not hesitate to reserve the last dignity for her, which moved her and didn't know what to say, she felt the kindness of "fate" to her for the first time, and Cheng Xiaoyu was her "destiny".

In fact, at this moment, Charlize Theron had secretly made up her mind in her heart that Cheng Xiaoyu could ask her to do anything, no matter how big the sacrifice was, no matter when, she was willing.

Cheng Xiaoyu hung up the phone, he asked Charlize Theron to make some preparations, and he would go over to pick her up now.

This matter was not in his plan, and Cheng Xiaoyu was not such a person who could be moved in a few words, but all this can only be said to be really arranged by fate, Charlize Theron unknowingly grasped the point called Cheng Xiaoyu CARE.

First, she studied ballet, which reminded Cheng Xiaoyu of her stepmother Zhou Peipei, although he never called Zhou Peipei's mother, but he recognized her in his heart.

Second, she said that she regarded Cheng Xiaoyu as her father and brother..... Cheng Xiaoyu is repulsive to this title, his sister is only Su Yuxi, but subconsciously he likes to be the role of his elder brother, and likes to be the kind of person who can take care of his sister and protect his sister.

But it's a pity that Su Yuxi seems to be a sister who doesn't really need his protection, so Charlize Theron's words made him make a promise, otherwise Hollywood actors like Charlize Theron don't have 10,000 but 1,000, who does he help?

What's more, he has already helped her, there is no reason to continue to help her, even if she is beautiful, Cheng Xiaoyu doesn't care.

As for Catherine Blanchett, that's another matter, for whom Catherine is the actor he needs, and a director is extremely fanatical about the role in his film.

Otherwise, it would not have happened that a director would put down the movie and not shoot it for the time being in order to wait for an actor he identified to have a schedule.....

And Charlize Theron received a lottery ticket that Xiaoyu discarded at will, and the prize was her own business, and it had nothing to do with him, but it was different from this moment on, with Cheng Xiaoyu's current status, she made a promise, which means that Charlize Theron will enter the real Cotai Strip.
