"Wait a minute!" Charlize Theron gestured with her hands in front of her head, "Can anyone tell me what the hell is going on?" ”

Leett and Stephen Sommers you look at me, I look at you, and finally turn their gaze to Jude together.

"My name is Jude Locke, and I'm currently a director."

"I know this......" Charlize accidentally slipped out, but she actually recognized Jude in the first place.

"I have an action-adventure movie with Disney, and we are currently missing a heroine." Jude picked up his coffee and looked at Charlize Theron with a smile on his face, "Is that explanation clear enough?" ”

"Me?" Charlize pointed his hands at himself and felt like he was in a dream.

"You were late for the first meeting, and if it was an official audition, now you're eliminated!" Jude pursed his lips, not knowing if it was because the coffee was bad or because Charlize felt good about himself.

"I'm sorry, but ......"

"Okay, because someone intercedes for you, I can stop worrying about you being late, but that doesn't mean you've got the role, you know what I mean?"

Jude Modal rubbed the coffee cup in his hand and glanced at Charlize meaningfully.

Charlize clenched his lips and hesitated for a moment before saying, "Who do I have to sleep with to get this role?" ”

Cough! Cough! Cough!

Leete, who was drinking coffee, suddenly covered his mouth and coughed, and he raised his hand to Charlize to make a "no" gesture while wiping his mouth with a tissue.

"Miss Theron, can you repeat what you just said?" Jude's expression suddenly became very serious.

"I know this is an unspoken rule in the industry, many female stars get roles through this, aren't you worth this?" Charlize looked at Jude with a cold expression, and there was even a hint of disgust in his eyes.

Jude suddenly turned his head and looked at Lee, who had not yet recovered from the violent cough from choking on coffee, and joked: "It turns out that being a producer has such benefits, and I should have arranged the meeting in a room with a sofa when I knew it." ”

There's been a saying in Hollywood that if there's a couch in the casting office, it means the producer wants to have sex with the actors, and that's called a "couch audition."

Li Tet clutched his neck and waved his hand, signaling that he could not speak now.

Of course he knew that this unspoken rule existed, but the problem was that neither he nor Jude had ever thought of selecting actors in such a way.

"Wait a minute, just now you said that you are the producer, so who is the director of this movie?" Charlize's charming blue eyes suddenly became confused, and he couldn't figure out what was going on.

Litt took away the tissue that was gagged in his mouth and said with difficulty, "Miss Theron, Jude is the writer and producer of this film, and Mr. Sommus is the director. ”

After Leete's introduction, Stephen Sommers took the initiative to hand it over, which made Charlize a little embarrassed. She had imagined countless possibilities before coming to the appointment, but never imagined that things would turn out the way they are.

"National Treasure is a very formal film project, we have invited Nicolas Cage to play the leading role, the whole film has a shooting budget of 60 million, and most importantly, I am married!" Stephen Sommers raised his hand to show Charlize his wedding ring, "My wife just gave birth to a little angel for me, I love my family!" ”

As soon as Sommers finished speaking, Jude immediately picked up.

"Although I don't have a wedding ring on my hand, if Miss Theron has been following entertainment news for a while, she should know that I already have a girlfriend, and our relationship is very stable, so I don't have the idea of looking for new excitement for the time being."

Jude's intention is actually the same as that of Sommers, but Sommers's tone is persuading, while Jude is joking, which gives people a completely different feeling.

"Director Locke should keep this to say to your girlfriend, not to explain it to a little actor like me, who is nothing." Charlize grumbled with some dissatisfaction.

"Miss Theron should thank my girlfriend for not being here today, otherwise there would be nothing to do with you here." Jude reminded lukewarmly. If it weren't for Ovitz's desire to start filming immediately, the heroine of "National Treasure" would have been handed over to Kate to play directly, and there would be no need to consider other candidates.

These words were like a basin of cold water, which finally calmed Charlize's feverish mind.

"What exactly do I need to do to get this role?"

Jude sighed slightly in his heart, and sure enough, it was the Queen Theron in his memory who did not hesitate to tear his face with the agent who discovered his entry into the industry in order to get rid of the "vase" route, and he had already shown a strong posture in this regard before he officially entered the industry.

Of course, it is precisely because of this character that he has offended many people, resulting in even if he won the Oscar in the future, the works are getting fewer and fewer, and the few big-budget movies can only play supporting roles and villains.

This woman who grew up in a South African manor is born with a rebellious character, and if there is no very powerful person who can completely convince her, it is estimated that she will still follow the old path in memory.

Thinking of this, Jude couldn't help but glance at Leete.

If Charlize really fell out with his agent in the future, will the unlucky guy who was fired in his memory be Leett?

Thinking of this, Jude suddenly felt the urge to play a prank.

"It's actually quite simple, Miss Theron should have heard of CAA, right?"

Charlize looked at Jude suspiciously, a little unable to guess what he was thinking, CAA of course she knew that Hollywood No. 1 Agency had recently made a lot of noise in the media because of the departure of its founder Ovitz.

"Ritter used to work for CAA, and he was one of Mr. Michael Ovitz's most important subordinates, and now he is leaving CAA to set up his own agency, and I, Mr. Sommus, are now clients of this company, and the only way for Miss Theron to get the lead role in 'National Treasure' is to be a client of this brokerage like we are."

"Is that okay?" Charlize looked at Jude with suspicion, and although this explanation sounded very reasonable, she always felt that Jude had deliberately omitted important information.

"Do you want anything else? I'm sorry, but Mr. Sommos and I are really not that kind of people. ”

Charlize ignored Jude's gag and frowned.

Just now she suddenly figured out a problem - Jude is now offering her a job as a producer, but according to the California Labor Code, only those licensed agents have the authority to deal with clients.

In other words, all the conversations just now and all the agreements reached are strictly unlawful.
