What does it mean to be able to help?

It means that I can't help with this, or I don't want to help, and it's okay if you want me to help with it, but I can't help in vain.

Although Anne Hathaway is not yet an adult, she has been in the big dye vat of Hollywood for seven or eight years, and the real meaning of these words can still be understood. It's just that she has never experienced anything like this, and Douglas suddenly said this, and she didn't know how to answer for a while.

Douglas also knew that Anne had no experience with this, and it was good for a seventeen-year-old girl to be able to understand it, because she grew up in Hollywood, and if she was an ordinary girl, she would think that people would be good to her.

'Hey', Douglas suddenly sighed and said in a low voice, "Forget it, for the sake of the ice cream you invited me to eat when you were in Hawaii before, I'll guide you." ”

Seven or eight years ago, Anne had long since lost her memory, but Douglas's words made her suddenly hopeful, and she looked at him hopefully, "Thank you." ”

Douglas waved his hand and said, "Don't thank me first, you also know my nickname, I only have a boss in my eyes." ”

Anne immediately had a bad feeling in her heart, could it be like Nicole, asking for her own trade?

Douglas didn't say anything that worried Anne, but just whispered: "Three days later, I accompanied the boss back from Las Vegas and immediately began to select actors. I'll send the script outline to Zimmer, and if you can make the boss think you're the best candidate, then you'll be fine. If you don't understand something, go and ask Zimmer, do you understand? ”

"So fast?"

Douglas smiled and laughed at himself: "You also saw it just now, if it drags on, I won't work."

Anne immediately remembered those agents just now, stuck out her tongue, and said playfully: "Thank you, then I'll go first." ”

"Hmm"

With the ice cream in front of her as a foreshadowing, Anne really didn't think much about it, and hurriedly ran to UTA (United Artist Agency) to find her agent Zimmer.

Zimmer Andrews, a small agent whom Douglas had met when he was on the set, was just happy with the email he received and thought things had turned around. Zimmer has been in Hollywood for more than ten years, and although he has not become a top agent, he is very familiar with the doorways inside. However, as soon as he listened to Annie's words, he understood what Douglas meant, but what he didn't understand was that China could not lack women, how could he look at Annie, a young little girl?

"Annie, are you hiding something from me?"

“No”

Zimmer stared at Anne's eyes and said word by word: "Anne, in Hollywood, your interests and mine are completely identical, and I should be the person you trust the most." "The Princess Diaries" originally set you to be the protagonist, but suddenly there was a rumor that you were going to be replaced, and now I have received the outline of the script, do you think I am a fool? ”

Anne didn't dare to say anything about Nicole, so she had to say stiffly: "No, really not!" ”

Zimmer was still staring into her eyes, and said in a deep voice, "Annie, you must tell me the truth. This must be a struggle within the light and shadow, Douglas is on one side and who is on the other? You know, if we pick the wrong side, you'll be completely ruined in the future! ”

Although Anne is more precocious than ordinary girls, she is just a little girl, how can she be as old and spicy as Zimmer, so she quickly shook her head and denied it. However, it was her denial that allowed Zimmer to guess the truth.

"Ok, I'll talk about my guess. Douglas is China Ming's most loyal dog, and no one in the light and shadow company can threaten his status, so only people outside the company. He is also one of China Ming's two closest assistants, and his most powerful assistant, and the person who contradicts him has only one possibility - China Ming's mistress. Anne, am I right? ”

There is a difference between a mistress and a lover, lover is a neutral word, while mistress is a derogatory term, a lover can see the light, while a mistress is generally secret. Annie suddenly felt a little sympathetic to Nicole, Nicole really can't see the light, and it's not like Li Zhi and Lee Young-ae, who have feelings for the boss, they just take what they need!

As soon as he saw Annie's expression, Zimmer knew that he had guessed correctly, and it was China Ming's mistress who wrestled with Douglas. Maybe that mistress has had irreconcilable conflicts with Douglas, and that guy just wants to replace China Ming's current mistress with another younger and more beautiful girl. China is over thirty years old, and must be like most middle-aged men, he has begun to like young, innocent girls, and Natalie Portman and Anne Hathaway are the right people in his mind. Perhaps in addition to these two, Douglas is also featuring other girls, and these two are only the top candidates because he knows the details.

Hollywood is a place of fame and fortune, and Zimmer knows that he can't make Anne a superstar on his own. Anne's inability to become a superstar means that his interests cannot be maximized, and driven by interests, Zimmer easily makes a choice.

Zimmer got up and locked the office door, turned around and sat next to Anne, and whispered: "Anne, you must be familiar with that woman, I don't want to know who she is, but what I want to tell you is that Douglas is China Ming's right-hand man, and that woman is just a mistress." For people like China Ming, as long as he is willing, most of the women in Hollywood will not refuse him. The first thing you have to learn is to always stand with the winner, understand? ”

Anne and Nicole were closer, but Zimmer said so, and she had to nod her head gloomily. This is Hollywood, if you don't stand with the winners, will you still be with the losers?

"Ok, let's talk about another question. If there's an opportunity to become a superstar, if you're willing to pay the price, you're willing to let the opportunity slip away, or take it! ”

Anne finally understood why Douglas had asked her to come to Zimmer, not because she had come to see the outline of the script, but because she had the same idea as Nicole.

Zimmer didn't know that Sun Ziming wanted to use "The Princess Diaries" from the beginning to help Anne transform into a youth idol. Of course, Douglas doesn't know, and Sun Ziming won't tell him this, he will only choose among the actors he picks, and if the person in the 'memory' is not in it, let him pick it again, but this does not prevent him from using this as a bargaining chip.

"Yes, that's why Douglas showed you the itinerary, and if you're willing to pay the price, The Princess Diaries is yours. In the future, as long as you like the film of the light and shadow company, Douglas will arrange it for you. If you don't want to, "The Princess Diaries" is for the girl who is willing to pay the price. Douglas is a full-time assistant director and personal assistant in China Ming's personal studio, and all the cast materials have to go through his hands, and it is too easy to move in these aspects. ”

Anne felt very embarrassed to say such a shameful topic for Zimmer, but she had to admit that he was right. Leonardo has also said that Douglas is someone she must not offend, unless she doesn't want to act in a Boss Studios movie.

Zimmer is an agent, and has been with Anne for five or six years, and knows her psychology very well and knows her psychological disorders.

"Annie, these are the mistresses of Douglas and China Ming, he himself doesn't know nine times out of ten, we may still have a chance to redeem it."

"Really?"

As soon as Anne spoke, she knew that Zimmer was just comforting herself. How can the boss believe in himself and not in Nicole and Douglas? If you tell him the truth, you will be misunderstood by him, and you will even ask yourself how to know about Nicole's relationship with him. If that's the case, maybe the boss won't care, and Nicole and Douglas will definitely join forces against themselves!

One of them is an Oscar-winning actress, and the other is China Ming's right-hand man, if they join forces to deal with their own small actors, they might as well get out of Hollywood directly!

Anne Hathaway was just a seventeen-year-old girl, and even with Nicole's threats and temptations, she was at a loss for a while.
