After Chris's performance, Alan found that he was still with his head down and pondering, as if he was still immersed in the play, and the table seemed a little too quiet for a while. He thought for a moment www.biquge.info walked over and patted Chris on the shoulder and asked, "Are you okay, Chris?" ”

"I'm fine, thank you for your concern." Chris stretched out his hand to signal that he was okay, his voice trembling slightly, and although he had recovered from the scene just now, his heart was still a little heavy.

"Chris, what a wonderful performance, compared to the footage you sent me, today's performance was clearly even better. Although I can still find some traces of the performance, your feelings are expressed very accurately, I can see the story through your eyes, and for a moment, I feel that you are the husband, tell me how you did it. Alan asked excitedly, staring at Chris.

"I didn't know that when you gave me such a role, I seemed to be able to feel everything about him." Chris was also a little surprised, could it be that this is the ability brought by the crossing.

"What a terrible talent!" Alan exclaimed.

He returned to his seat and looked at the young man across from him in deep thought, and suddenly he took a deep breath as if he had made some kind of decision, and then took a document from his bag, "Now, I need to know your details, Chris." ”

Chris couldn't help but be happy when he saw Allen's actions, and couldn't help but smile on his face, he knew that he had been recognized by Allen, and he finally took the first step in Hollywood, signed with CAA, and said that he would definitely envy many people.

"Hey! Don't laugh, child, I know it's good for you, but you have to be considerate of my hungry stomach, and hurry up and get down to business, I'm going to eat. Now I ask, you answer" Alan glanced at Chris, pointed his pen to the food that had already been served, and protested loudly.

"Yes, Mr. Nord," Chris replied with a trembling voice of excitement.

"Name."

"Chris Vince."

"Age."

“24”

"Height"

"6 ft 1 in"

"Graduation School"

"UCLA"

"Social Security Number"

・・・・・・ Q&A process lasted about 5 minutes. Alan Nord stopped writing, sorted out the document he had just filled out, handed it to Chris's hand and said: "This is CAA's brokerage contract, signed for 3 years, the company will receive a 20% commission, and CAA will have the right of first refusal under the same conditions after 3 years." You take this contract back and take a closer look, it is best to find a lawyer to review it, if it is confirmed that there is no problem, then get it to the company, and then we will formally sign the contract. ”

Perhaps distracted by the discussion just now, neither of them seemed to be in the mood to talk the rest of the day, and each feasted on his own dinner. Until the two parted, Chris was still a little dazed: he couldn't believe that he had really succeeded, and he didn't even pay attention to the suggestive look that the beautiful waitress threw at him.

"Thank you, Mr. Alan Nord, I didn't expect us to work together so quickly!" At the door of the Corner restaurant, Chris asked, "Is it because Uncle Edward and you are good friends?" ”

"Chris, you're a very talented person, you should have faith in yourself." Alan looked at Chris, his eyes brightened even brighter under the neon light, "Of course, if we hadn't met today, I might have introduced you to other friends, your qualifications have really not reached the level I need to pay attention to, but your conversation and performance today impressed me deeply, so I decided to take you personally." He said in a firm voice.

"Don't you think I'm a little unrealistic?"

"No, I don't think, it's a good thing that you're ambitious, in Hollywood, a person will never succeed if he doesn't have ambition. And daring to say it in front of me shows that you are courageous and firm in your heart, and I thank you for your honesty and appreciate your sincerity and courage. Alan Nord said in a deep voice, pointing lightly to the tall buildings in the distance and the silhouettes of the rolling hills.

"Happy working together, Chris Vaughn!"

"It's been a pleasure working together, thank you, Mr. Alan Nord."

"Just call me Alan, then, enjoy your evening, trust me, your good days in Hollywood are coming, goodbye Chris."

"Goodbye, Alan." Chris said softly.

The rain has long stopped, the humid air carries the fragrance of wisps of grass and trees, looking at Alan Nord's back, Chris clenched his fists, looked up at the bustling street scene with neon lights shining in the distance, and his heart was stirred: Hollywood, I'm coming!

Putting his mind down, he walked leisurely down the street, his shoes stirring up circles of ripples in the puddles, like a golden strip that stretched all the way to his feet under the light. Soon Chris found a quiet corner and took out a mobile phone that was too unfamiliar to Li Ping - the Nokia 5110 launched in 1998, a straight board model with an external antenna; Then he quickly found and held a number in the phone book.

"It's me, Chris, Aunt Sarah...... I'm fine, are you all right? Thank you for the arrangement, yes, I met him...... We just said goodbye and we had a great conversation......"

At six o'clock the next morning, Chris got up on time to go for a morning run. When he came to this world, he liked to run very much, and he wanted to use his eyes and body to slowly observe and feel this country that was a little strange to Li Ping.

Chris's apartment is located in West Hollywood, close to Beverly Hills, with convenient transportation and beautiful surroundings, and the rent is not very cheap, but it is quite affordable for Chris at the moment. Most of the people living in the apartment are students and young people who are working hard in Hollywood. In the early morning, the fresh air carries the fragrance of plants, and the whole city gradually wakes up from its slumber. Young men and women, who exercised like him, were running around the clean streets in twos and threes. Chris also saw a few familiar Asian faces among them, and I don't know which Asian country they came from.

After running around the neighborhood twice, Chris stopped in a green meadow and began to play a set of boxing that Li Ping had learned from Director Li of the orphanage since he was a child. There are only eight styles of boxing in this set, which is not complicated at all, but every stance must be heavy and powerful, and the fists are vigorous. Playing this set of boxing can not only maintain health, but also have a good actual combat effect, when he was a teenager, Li Ping could easily handle two or three young people who were taller than him.

After two or three laps, Chris was already sweating profusely, and when he returned to the apartment, he ran to the bathroom to take a shower and wash up. Chris's body is slender, and his upper body is clearly distributed with eight-pack abs, and it seems that this body has been well exercised before. His face was equally thin, with sharp edges like a knife, deep features, and unusually bright pale blue eyes. It can be said that Chris's physical condition is very suitable for photogenic, and he does not have to worry about the "photogenic fat ten pounds problem" caused by the broadcast ratio used in modern movies.

After taking a shower, Chris simply made a breakfast: two slices of bread, a fried egg, a slice of bacon, and a glass of milk. After breakfast, Chris turned on the TV and watched the news program, calculated that the time was about the same, and then dressed up and went out.

A few days ago, Allen handed over his CAA contract, and Chris has handed it over to the lawyer to review it, and there is no problem with the contract. Today he is going to take his documents and contract to Allen's company to seal and officially sign the brokerage contract.

The CAA headquarters is located on the southwest side of Beverly Hills, not far from his residence, a ten-minute taxi ride away — and he doesn't have a car of his own yet. Alan Norton's office is on the 10th floor of the building, and his assistant Anna has taken Chris to his office because he had made a phone call before he arrived. Allen's office was small but clean, with simple décor and office supplies neatly arranged, a desk, three chairs, a sofa for resting, and only a floor-to-ceiling bookshelf against the wall, filled with books and documents that had been labeled and classified.

"Good morning, Chris. How are you doing these days? Alan saw Chris come in, stood up, smiled and said hello.

"Good morning, Alan, it looks like you're in a good mood, I'm feeling good these days." Chris replied, "This is the brokerage contract I've read and I'm happy with, I've signed my name" Chris then handed the contract document to Allen.

Alan took the document and looked through it, and after two minutes, he picked up a pen from the pen holder on the table, signed his name on the document, stamped it, and handed it to Anna. Then Alan stood up from the table and shook Chris's hand, smiled and said, "Very good, Chris, now we are going to really start working together, I hope I can help you realize your dream, I wish us a happy cooperation." ”

"Yes, I trust you completely, Alan."

"Okay, I think you've got to know my assistant, Miss Anna." Alan said, pointing to Anna, who was pouring coffee for Chris. Anna is about 30 years old, has blonde hair, a fair complexion, a sweet voice, and a charming smile.

"Yes." Chris looked at Anna and nodded.

"If you can't find me for something, you can contact her." Alan waved his hand and said, "In addition to me as an agent in the future, you will also need a team to help you, including: public relations, managers, assistants, etc." Of course, we'll talk about that later, but now we need to talk about your performance. Of course, you're very talented in acting, and you've had experience acting in TV dramas, but," Allen said, "you don't have professional acting training after all, you know that you went to UCLA -- God knows, you chose the path of an actor." Alan shook his head, looking puzzled.

"I love acting, Alan," Chris replied as he watched him.

"Yes, yes, I know, young people nowadays like stars," Alan waved his hand, "However, stars are not so easy to be, not only do you need opportunities and talent, you also have to have extraordinary perseverance, this is the CAA's actor training center," he took out a card from the drawer, "You can report today, and you will do basic acting training here for a while until I get you a role that suits you, and the training fee is paid in advance by the CAA, which will be deducted from your commission in the future." ”

"Okay, Alan." Chris answered, got up and took the card, which had the address of the training course, "I won't let you down." ”
