"This leprechaun's gold coin will make the Irish leprechaun consider you the master!"

Charlotte explained to Charlize,

"Although the little goblin has little combat power among the ghosts, it is no problem to deal with some ordinary people. ”

"What can it do?"

"It could—"

Charlotte was just about to speak, but found that Charlize almost had a sparkle in his eyes,

"I say, Sally, are you too excited?"

"That's your delusion!"

Charlize's face straightened and returned to his usual appearance,

"Can you tell me more about what the leprechaun can do?"

“......”

- Sally, you're really interested in spell-related things!

With a sigh in her heart, Charlotte finally began her own explanation,

"The Irish leprechaun is a very fun-loving, mischievous goblin. Once you have mastered its natal coin, you can get its help as long as you give it a little milk every day. There's not much I can do to help—"

Charlotte stretched out her finger and enumerated it,

"The easiest thing was to help tidy up the room. ”

"Once you're the owner of it, it's going to help you tidy up your room in the way you subconsciously categorize it — Sally, I think that's a very useful feature for you. ”

"You want to take care of it!?"

The girl's face turned red.

Although the two are now "familiar" enough, Charlize is still a little embarrassed to remember the mess in his room when he first met Charlotte.

— though, that didn't stop her from clenching the gold coins in her hand a little tighter.

"What else?"

Charlize asked,

"Wouldn't there be no other use?"

"Other ......"

Charlotte groaned,

"It's probably a prank!"

"It can help you play pranks on people you hate. Up to three times a day, though. ”

"It's really weak!"

Charlize sighed, but Charlotte smiled silently.

"That guy must have hidden something that didn't tell me!"

Charlize thought hatefully.

"Do you want to ask him directly?"

The girl knew that up to now, with the relationship between the two, Charlotte would occasionally hide something from her. But as long as she takes the initiative to ask, the man will say.

"It's almost become a kind of love between the two of us......"

Charlize muttered.

She finally decided to figure it out for herself.

- Since it is fun, the process of "playing" is very important. It's the end all at once, so what's the point?

The next day, though, Charlize didn't have time to think about these things.

Her agent, Pat Kingsley, came to visit and talked to her about some important things-

"Sally, do you know Charlotte's plans for the next movie?"

"This ......"

The girl hesitated, but remembering some of the things Charlotte had told her before, she nodded,

"I probably know something. ”

"This time, there shouldn't be any of your characters in it, right?"

The agent's words were beyond Charlrise's expectations - she thought that the other party was an actor who wanted to take the opportunity to stuff CAA into it!

After all, this is what CAA has always done.

But now—

"I know you might wonder why I'm saying that-"

Pat Kingsley took a deep look at the girl,

"But it's really just a matter of time – no director and actor are going to work together all the time. ”

"Definitely. ”

"You've worked with Charlotte on three films, and now you need to adapt to a few other directors' styles. ”

Pat Kingsley said in a passer-over tone,

"And Charlotte, he will gradually change his style, and it is impossible to use you as the heroine in every movie. This time in "Guillotine Valley", he asked you to play Katrina, so there was a lot of resistance, right?"

"How do you know?"

Charlotte told Charlize about the heroine's audition. But Pat Kingsley can also know, so she has to surprise the girl with CAA's connections and information-gathering ability.

"It's not a hard secret!"

Pat Kingsley kept a straight face, but a smile appeared in the corner of her eyes,

"Actually, if Charlotte hadn't changed Katrina Fantasso's character this time, I'm afraid this role wouldn't have fallen on your head at all. ”

"Yes. ”

That's what happened, and Charlize had nothing to refute.

She wondered that Pat Kingsley's purpose,

"Pat, you're telling me this—"

"You should think about what the future holds, Sally!"

The agent lady said earnestly,

"After "Guillotine Valley", you can be regarded as a second-tier actress, at this time, you should think about whether you want the box office or the award!"

"Box office and awards?"

Charlize was stunned,

"Is this time already?"

"Yes. ”

Pat Kingsley shrugged,

"Actresses are different from most male stars who only start to break out after the age of 30, if they don't complete the transformation in their 20s and win some awards, it is easy to go downhill when they are in their 30s. ”

“......”

Charlize knew his agent was right.

- because Charlotte had said something similar to her.

In Hollywood, the competition between female stars is often more fierce and cruel than between male stars, and one of the main reasons for this is that most of the careers of female stars are shorter than those of male stars.

Compared with the male stars who "broke out in their thirties, and bloomed in forty-one flowers", the best time for actresses is only about ten years.

If you don't complete the triple jump of fame-award-making a lot of money in the past ten years, it will be difficult to live in the future.

After all, time is unforgiving.

No matter how many people love your face when you are young, when you are old and your hair is gray......

"Pat, you think I'm ready to start winning the prize, don't you?"

Charlize asked directly.

"Yes. ”

Pat Kingsley nodded,

"Tocharlotte's blessing, you are luckier than those actresses who only got a small supporting role in their 20s, and you are luckier than a child star who is trapped in her image as a child and can't transform into a successful one - his three films have helped you accumulate enough popularity to be available now. ”

"It's a splurge, isn't it?"

Charlize had sarcasm on his lips.

"That's right. ”

Seeing that Charlize understood what was going on, the agent lady also became straightforward,

"The films that win awards are generally independent films, with good artistry, but poor commerciality - shooting too many of these kinds of movies will definitely consume the popularity accumulated by stars. ”

"And I've got enough popularity to spend right now, right?"

"That's right!"

Pat Kingsley nodded,

"It's definitely worth it to spend some popularity to hit acting awards, especially the Oscars - because only actresses who have won Oscars can have a longer career life. ”

"But I'm only 20 years old now—"

"I didn't say that you should start rushing for the prize right away, but you should start preparing. ”

The corners of the agent's mouth also showed a sarcastic smile,

"Although Charlotte Booth's film is very good, it is not particularly significant to improve the actor's acting skills. Sally, you're not going to be able to improve your acting skills to the point where you can win awards just by acting in a few horror movies with him, right?"

"You're also going to need to get your hands on other types of films, and in addition to pure indie films, those chick movies are also a good choice. ”

Pat Kingsley gave Charlize a list of options she could make,

"Speaking of which, you are really an alternative actress, so far, you haven't acted in a single love movie!"

"It seems like it's really ......"

When the agent said this, Charlize was also speechless.

"Anyway, you should think about acting and awards!"

In the end, Pat Kingsley made a strong summary, and then she changed her words,

"Can you tell me about Charlotte's new movie, Sally?"
