Chapter 515: It's Not What You Should See
There was no news after the audition for "Buffy", according to the agent's arrangement, Charlize Theron stayed in a motel in West Hollywood, although the accommodation fee is not expensive, only ten dollars a day can support it, but from January to now, in order to prepare for "Buffy" If it weren't for the fact that agent Michelle Simmons hinted that there was an opportunity waiting for her that many actors would not necessarily be able to meet in their lifetime, she would have bought a plane ticket to fly back to New York, even in the past few days, she spent the five hundred dollars that Michelle Simmons lent her.
She waited for more than a week, and because of Michelle Simmons's repeated advice, she barely left the two-kilometre radius of the hotel, but from the hotel she walked about a kilometre north to the famous Walk of Fame, where she occasionally walked and looked down at the stars on the road like many pedestrians. Many people are curious or worshipful, but she often secretly vows that one day she will leave her own star here.
Eric Williams said that she wanted to see herself, and that was her biggest opportunity.
During the audition for "Buffy", her performance was interrupted by the guy's sudden laughter, which made her hate for a while, and then this hatred was severely snuffed out by the agent. She used to know him only as a big man in Hollywood, the hottest director, producer and owner of Firefly Films in Hollywood in recent years, and oh, he also owns a very atmospheric villa in Malibu, because it looks like a shell, many people call it 'Shell Villa'. Some people say it's called 'Free City'. But with these days getting deeper. She knew what Eric Williams meant to Hollywood. Now in her hotel room she still has the "Premiere" magazine, which has been read many times.
He was the first person on the 1992 Hollywood power list, he was the big boss of Firefly Pictures who swallowed Disney, his personal fortune has exceeded $5 billion, and his films shot in just five years have exceeded $2 billion at the global box office, and more importantly, he personally won the popularity of Julia Roberts, Nicolas Cage, Brigitte Fonda, Nicole Kidman, Pierce Brosnan and a large number of unknown Hollywood actors.
Then, he said he would find time to see himself.
Although I don't know how the agent won this opportunity for himself, after understanding these things. Charlize Theron had been so excited for days that she couldn't get a good night's sleep, day or night, she couldn't help but wonder what to say and do during the meeting to get his attention.
A day passed, two days passed, a week passed, and even ten days were about to begin. In recent days, she has even begun to worry about whether Eric Williams has forgotten about it, and she mustered up the courage to call the agent for the first time, and the reply she received was to be patient and wait, but she still keenly heard the uncertainty in the agent's tone, and her mood was more worried and lost.
The owner of the motel is a fat white man with a decent heart. Look at her little girl who has been idle in her shop for so many days, doing nothing. The cost was also cautious, and kindly offered to help her introduce a job, although she was very impressed, but she still had to refuse the other party.
And it is impossible for a girl like her, who has won the championship of a model contest, not to attract the attention of some other people, a group of young men and women who are adrift in Hollywood also invite her to participate in some messy parties, of course she does not dare to go rashly, so when they meet in the past few days, they always hear some strange words from the mouths of some people, and some men's eyes are even more undisguised ill-will.
In the end, because of some small frictions, she couldn't help showing her pungent nature, and had a big fight with the other party, but fortunately, even if the hotel owner intervened, she didn't fight. After the quarrel, she was afraid for a while, if she really started to do it, if she had a color on her body, especially on her face, then her opportunity would be completely ruined.
So the rest of the day was even more depressed, and I closed the curtains, lay down on a hardboard cot in a dimly lit room for a whole day, and scribbled a guy on the cover of the "Premiere" magazine with lip gloss as if she were scribbling on the face of the guy on the cover of the "Premiere" magazine, and I was too lazy to eat dinner, intending to go hungry and save a few dollars.
When it was getting dark, there was a sudden knock on the door of the hotel, which had never happened before, she asked vigilantly, and remembered the agent's voice outside the door, and had some premonitions in her heart, she jumped out of bed in a panic, ran over and opened the door barefoot.
"Charlie......" Michelle Simmons obviously had a happy look on her face, but she just called her name, looked her up and down at the dim orange light in the hallway, and immediately frowned, "Look what you look like now." ”
Feeling the switch to turn on the light, and humbly letting the agent in, Charlize Theron explained: "Sorry, Michelle, I was just in ...... Go to bed. ”
Michelle Simmons looked at the room and saw the "Premiere" magazine on the edge of the bed at a glance, the cover of which was painted in a mess, but this time she didn't say anything, just frowned and sighed, and said, "Charlie, pack up your things, let's leave now." ”
Charlize Theron pulled on the shoulder straps of his pale blue pajamas that slipped off his shoulders, subconsciously touched his messy hair, rubbed his feet against each other a few times on the cold floor, and said apprehensively: "Now...... Now, I'm going to meet ...... Him?"
Michelle Simmons didn't answer, sniffled and asked, "Have you not showered in days?"
Seeing her embarrassed look, Michelle Simmons had no choice but to say: "Forget it, pack your things quickly, go to me in the evening, and the meeting will be scheduled for tomorrow at noon." ”
After packing his simple luggage and settling the bill, Charlize Theron got into a white sedan driven by his agent and drove the streets of Los Angeles for a while, entering a dense residential area at the foot of Beverly Hills. Michelle Simmons quickly drove the car into the courtyard of a mansion.
The two got out of the car. Charlize Theron saw a tall, bald man come out of the living room with a smile on his face.
"Kapoor. Good evening," Michelle Simmons laughed at the first two parts.
"Good evening, Michelle, come here so soon," the bald man hugged Michelle Simmons before looking at Charlize Theron, who was standing next to Michelle with a small suitcase.
Charlize Theron smiled at the bald man, who nodded at her. But soon turned to Michelle Simmons and said: "I'm really sorry, Michelle, I called in the afternoon, it turns out that Eric really forgot, the late stage of "Jurassic Park" has entered the final stage, he has to work at least twelve hours a day these days, I hope you can understand, he asked me to say sorry to you in the afternoon." ”
"It's okay, if only Mr. Williams can spare time," Michelle Simmons said, shaking his head and not minding.
Charlize Theron, who was standing behind Michelle, heard the bald man's words. But she pouted disdainfully, she remembered that she had seen in the newspaper the other day that the guy was having a leisurely lunch with Nicole Kidman. The two of them look like me and me in the photo, how can they be a little busy.
After Capper explained to Michelle Simmons, he turned to Charlize Theron: "You're Miss Theron, I'm Capper Sid, I've seen your profile." ”
Charlize Theron then remembered that the other party was one of the big bosses of ICM, and quickly let go of the lever in his hand, stepped forward and held the other party's outstretched hand: "Hello, Mr. Sid, just call me Charlie." ”
Kapoor snorted, let go of Charlize's hand, stepped back and looked her up and down, nodded slightly, and said, "You should smile more, you will smile more attractively." ”
Charlize Theron was a little surprised, a few years ago when she participated in the modeling competition, a judge with a high reputation in the fashion industry also said something similar to her, many actresses are more attractive when they converge their expressions, and once they laugh, they often lose their temperament, but she is just the opposite, she doesn't even look beautiful when she is expressionless, but when she smiles on her face, she is immediately glamorous and upside down. Charlize didn't expect the middle-aged man in front of him to be able to discover these things when they met for the first time.
"I will, Mr. Sid," Charlize Theron nodded.
The three of them entered the living room together, and Kapoor sat them down, and brought it to the coffee himself, before saying, "You can stay here for the time being until this is done." ”
"Thank you, Kapoor," Michelle Simmons nodded, then raised his tone slightly, and said with a hint of something else, "When I leave, I'll return the keys to Mary myself." ”
"Heh, it's been so long, and you're still going to tease me with this matter," Kapoor shook his head helplessly, and took out a document from a briefcase on the sofa and put it on the coffee table: "Also, this is what you want, just take a look at it yourself, try not to spread it, you know, although this kind of thing is very common in the industry, but it is not good to be known by the parties after all." ”
"I understand," Michelle Simmons nodded, adding, "and what?"
Kapoor took out another business card: "At this time, Eric's assistant's contact information, you can go directly to Firefly Studios in Preavista at noon tomorrow, and then contact him, although the agreed time is twelve o'clock, but it is better to go a little earlier." ”
Michelle nodded again.
After explaining these things, Kapoor thought for a moment before saying, "The last time I called Eric, he said that he had a good idea, it seemed to be an action movie with a female protagonist, Mr. and Mrs. Smith After the success, everyone has seen the potential of purely female action movies, and ICM has been in contact with many similar projects recently, but there are no key projects of big film companies, just low-cost attempts by some independent production companies, since Eric wants to do this kind of theme, it will definitely not be a small fight," said, Kapoor glanced at Charlize Theron, who was holding a coffee cup in his hand and was a little restrained: "I saw that the information said that Charlie changed careers because of a knee injury, can you still complete more intense fighting moves now?" ”
"Of course, Mr. Sid, I only considered changing jobs because of that injury, but there were no after-effects of the accident. ”
"That's best," Kapoor nodded, chatted with Michelle Simmons, finished his cup of coffee, and got up to leave.
There were only two people left in the villa in a blink of an eye, Charlize remembered what Kapoor had just said, and was a little excited, before he glanced at Michelle beside him, and saw that the other party picked up the document left by Capper just now and read it, so he straightened his waist without a trace, and his eyes quickly fell on the document, but just noticed the two eye-catching words of Eric Williams on the paper, and heard Michelle say: "This is not what you should see, let's go take a shower first, there is a bathroom upstairs, and we will talk later." ”
Charlize, who was caught red-handed, had a hot cheek, and quickly got up and picked up his small suitcase and slipped towards the stairs.
After taking a shower, the two talked about something, and in order not to show sluggishness the next day, Charlize Theron forced himself to sleep, although he still couldn't remember some messy dreams.
Early the next morning, she was called out to by Michelle Simmons, and after breakfast at a restaurant, Michelle took Charlize to a famous shopping street in Beverly Hills.
Charlize Theron looked at the well-known luxury brands on both sides of the road and looked at the agent with some trepidation.
Michelle Simmons, who used to always have a serious face, made a rare joke: "You always have to have a set of outfits that you can handle, and today this outfit is my investment in you, in case you become a star, don't kick me off." ”
"How is that possible, I ...... No," Charlize Theron said, shaking his head.
Michelle Simmons only nodded slightly, she still knows very well the character of the girl she signed half a year ago, Charlize Theron is a very individual but very realistic woman, if there is a better opportunity, she is sure that the other party will not hesitate to give up on herself. But Michelle Simmons is equally confident that he can hold on to his opponent. (To be continued......)
