Chapter 300: I like your straightforwardness

Looking at the slowly closing elevator door, Sucre finally tidied up his clothes against the alloy door of the elevator room, then took a deep breath, turned his head and said to Miller, who was standing beside him and also looked a little nervous: "I know that today's opportunity is very precious to you, but we must not casually promise each other... Since it is the other party who offers to cooperate, you must calm down, so that I can strive for more benefits for you when the contract is signed. ”

Miller tensed up and nodded with a mechanical expression, he could see that he was nervous now, and Sucre was not that good, and he actually didn't have a bottom in his heart when he said this. Sucre is well aware of the fact that this cooperation with MGM is in a very passive position. Especially the sentence that Lin Mingyang finally asked Cord to convey completely broke Miller's current situation, which means that the other party is very clear about your weaknesses, but you don't have more chips in your hand, and the difficulty of further bargaining with the other party can be imagined.

The number of floors displayed in the elevator finally stopped at the 8 position, the elevator door slowly opened, and the beautiful female staff in charge of the reception at the front desk of the office area smiled at the two of them, "Two gentlemen, this is the core office area of MGM Pictures headquarters, do you have an appointment?" ”

Su Cre handed over his business card, and after the other party said "please wait", he lowered his head and typed the visitor's name into the fast computer, and soon found the relevant reservation information.

The guest who was personally received by the president of the labor department, Ex, should not be small, the female clerk in charge of the reception at the front desk looked up, but the Sucre in front of him was very angry, but Miller next to him was recognized by her after taking a closer look. In other words, an employee of another company, in the absence of anyone else, it is estimated that he will pull the male protagonist of "Prison Break" to ask for an autograph, but the surprise in the eyes of this female employee is only a flash, and her expression immediately returns to normal, she returns the business card to Sucre, and says very politely: "Please wait, Assistant Cod will be over soon, and he will take you to Mr. Ex"

From beginning to end, she didn't peek at Miller standing next to Sucre, and the good professionalism she showed at this moment made Miller, who was used to being watched by others, seem a little uncomfortable, but fortunately, Cord's timely appearance alleviated his embarrassment of being treated as air.

Cord led the two into the office area, and many of the workers who came and went recognized Miller, but they all reacted the same as the female front desk clerk before them, and immediately turned their attention to the task at hand after a brief moment of curiosity.

Miller was a little depressed, and Sucre was secretly surprised, from the quality of these ordinary employees, it can be seen that MGM has the soft power to become a super-first-class company, so it seems that the strong rise of MGM in Hollywood in recent years is not as simple as it seems.

Of course, at the same time of emotion, Su Cre also had more worries about the negotiation of this cooperation, to be able to raise the company's management to such a height, the strength of President Ex can be imagined, and then think about the more powerful Lin Mingyang behind him, Su Cree suddenly felt a little headache.

But the more jealous he was, the more unfortunate things would come to him, and on the way to Ex's office, Ced told Sucre a piece of news that made him even more "sad".

Sir doesn't usually come to the company, but you're lucky to be in Mr. Ex's office today. ”

The smile on Su Cre's face suddenly became a little reluctant, but Miller, who was walking beside him, suddenly had a strange look in his eyes when he heard Lin Mingyang's name. Lin Mingyang asked people to relay that sentence, obviously talking about Miller's heart, so he is now very eager to know what kind of "prison escape" opportunity Lin Mingyang will provide him.

In this office, Lin Mingyang still unceremoniously occupied the position that originally belonged to Ex, and the real owner of the office, Exx, could only sit on the sofa next to him. When Miller and Sucre walked in with very different thoughts, Lin Mingyang's fingers were still tapping the keyboard rhythmically, he was really in the middle of a fierce battle in the game, and the work of getting up to greet him naturally fell on Ex's shoulders.

After some greetings, the host and guest sat down, and at this time, Lin Mingyang finally put down the game in his hand and began to carefully look at the actor who became popular all over the world because of "Prison Break".

Miller, who was sitting on the sofa, clasped his hands and looked a little restrained, this is obviously not the style of a big star, but since he likes the American female writer Tony Morrison's sentence "Definition belongs to the person who defines, not the person who is defined", he should not care how a big star should be. But then again, based on his previous impressions, when Lin Mingyang first saw Miller wearing a white shirt and dark blue jeans, he suddenly had some suspicions in his heart, and in his eyes, Miller's figure was constantly overlapping with Barack Obama, who had just become the first black president in American history.

When you think about it, Miller and Obama have a lot in common. They both have a dad as black as asphalt and a mom as white as milk; Obama's family is called a mini-United Nations, and Miller has African, Jamaican, British, German, French, Syrian, Lebanese, and Dutch 8 ancestry, of course, Miller was able to be sought after by tens of thousands of people in the TV series, and did not choose to run for president of the United States, a big factor may be because his skin color is closer to that of a white man, and he has a handsome face that Obama has never had.

According to what Lin Mingyang knows, Miller's childhood was more stable than Obama's, graduating from Yale to parents who were lawyers and teachers, and he was strictly disciplined from an early age, and when his peers listened to Mike Jackson's songs and did his homework, he was at most allowed to listen to pure music without lyrics. His parents wanted him to work as a doctor, a lawyer, or in finance, which was the first choice for his college classmates in Princeton after graduation, but like Obama, he was willing to take risks for his dreams, so Lin guessed he would vote for Obama in the general election, and his parents would vote for conservative Republicans.

Of course, Lin Mingyang was speculating in his heart, and he would never ask such a question in front of Miller. In fact, the other three people in the office have been waiting for him to speak, and some of them have even begun to be faintly anxious, but Lin Mingyang has not moved for a long time, holding his hands and looking like a bystander, it seems that he does not have the slightest intention of interjecting into this conversation.

When he heard that this was an action movie about racing, the hot look in Miller's eyes became more and more obvious, and there was only one voice left in his mind at this time, constantly encouraging him to agree to the other party's request and take over the role. As for the description of the danger of Rieks' next role, it was not in Miller's consideration at all.

After a fierce mental struggle, Miller finally made up his mind, and Sucre's instructions in the elevator had long been forgotten by him.

"Mr. Ex, I'm willing to play this role"

Sucre looked at Miller in surprise, and Miller's sudden statement completely disrupted his original plan, and a smile appeared on Ex's face. Of course, Miller's "sloppiness" did not make him get carried away, and out of caution, Ex made a point of asking.

"Mr. Miller, have you really thought about it?"

Sucre gently poked Miller with his elbow and whispered, "Miller, we haven't read the script yet..."

This little action of his was seen by Ex, but he just smiled and said nothing, but Miller was a little annoyed, he turned his head and looked at his agent solemnly.

"Sucre, don't say any more, I've already decided on this matter"

Miller's tone was so categorical that Sucre smiled bitterly and couldn't say anything more.

Ex shrugged regretfully at Sucre, and then glanced at Lin Mingyang, his expression was quite complacent, and his expression seemed to tell Lin Mingyang: "Look, without your script, I still got the actor done."

A crisp burst of applause sounded without warning, and it was Lin Mingyang, who had not spoken before. As soon as he did this, everyone in the office looked at him directly.

Lin Mingyang put down his hand, and the corners of his mouth hooked up an intriguing smile, "Mr. Miller, do you know why I asked you to be the leading actor in this movie?" ”

Miller shook his head blankly, and the smile on Lin Mingyang's face became more and more intense: "As a movie with the theme of racing, I need a cool and unique actor, and the reason why I chose you in the first place is mainly because of the super popularity you have accumulated in "Prison Break"... A character like this will never be said to be specially tailored for someone, so no one is irreplaceable in this play... First of all, I would like to congratulate you, even if you show a little hesitation today, I will not hesitate to consider a substitution, and your straightforwardness has won this opportunity for yourself. You didn't disappoint me, and I won't let you down."

The further back he listened, the more exciting the expression on Miller's face became, while Sucre was terrified.

If Miller really follows his arrangement and "stays still", the biggest possibility is to be eliminated from the competition. This lesson made Su Cre suddenly understand a truth, in the face of absolute strength, his strategy of "wanting to capture and indulge" is simply vulnerable.

What is called being strong, turning your hands into clouds, turning your hands into rain, and deciding the fate of others in one sentence, this is called being strong
