Chapter 8: The Unemployment of Light

Charle checked the information about Tony Stark on the Internet and found that his most famous news recently was his disappearance in Afghanistan, which caused the company's stock price to plummet.

Originally, because of the invention of the Jericho missile, Stark's stock price had climbed, and the upward trend was still obvious.

But the sudden arrival of such a hand immediately caused countless people to mourn, frantically denounce the terrorists in the Middle East, and pray that Tony Stark will return safely.

However, they never expected that after Tony Stark's return, they would hold a press conference and announce the closure of Stark's weapons department on the spot.

Isn't the closure of the arms division of a military-industrial complex a self-severing arm?

At that time, Stark's stock price has plunged even more than it is now, and it can even be said that it is bleeding.

After all, without Tony Stark, it just means that Stark Corporation has lost a genius weapon inventor.

And with the closure of the weapons department, the entire company will be violently affected from top to bottom!

"Although Tony Stark has not yet become Iron Man, he has a lot of shrapnel in his body and is suffering in the desert of Afghanistan. When he returns home, I can help him in exchange for him using Stark Corporation and his own resources to make me a star. ”

On the subway, before Xia Le arrived on the set, he received a call from his agent.

"Xia, there are some things on the set, don't go to the company yet, come to the company."

Xia Le raised his eyes, but he didn't show his face, and asked his agent.

"What's wrong, Jenny?"

Jenny didn't say much on the phone, just said.

"You'll find out when you come."

Jenny's company is called Williams Morris Brokerage, or WMA for short.

This agency is the second largest agency in the United States, with many well-known artists and hot stars signing up, second only to innovative artist agencies, also known as CAA.

Coming to Jenny's desk, he made a cup of coffee for Xia Le, and said to him in a heavy tone.

"Summer. I received news in the early hours of the morning that the main investor of the film you were working on had died unexpectedly and the producer could not be contacted. The movie is over. ”

"What?"

Hearing this, the culprit showed an extremely surprised expression, and seemed to not believe it at all.

"Jenny, you're not kidding me, are you?"

"Of course not. Wait a few hours and you'll see a story about it on the news. ”

Jenny didn't wait for Charlotte to digest the news and continued.

"Xia, our contract expires in a week, and then you can find a more powerful agent, I can't help you anymore."

Xia Le didn't expect that the chain reaction of killing Jin He would not only be the loss of a role, but also lead to him being given up by his agent.

He didn't care, but the predecessor certainly wouldn't think so.

After Xia Le's initial shock, anger gradually rose on his face.

Betrayed, he pressed the table in front of him tightly and said to Jenny with an excited expression.

"Jenny, are you giving up on me? You were encouraging me to keep working hard yesterday, but you gave up today? ”

Jenny had a faint apology on his face, but he didn't think he had a problem with his decision.

"Yesterday I encouraged you because you still have one last chance, but now that the movie is gone, the producer is missing, and your chance is gone."

"Xia, think about it carefully, you have been in the actor industry for two years, but there are only a handful of roles that you have played so far. It's not like I didn't help you, right? So I'm really sorry. ”

Xia Le stared at Jenny's eyes tightly, his arms trembled slightly because of anger, and he played a good interpretation of an eighteenth-tier actor who was given up by his agent, who was unwilling to slow down and then gave up.

"Alright, Jenny. Don't regret it. ”

Xia Le drank the instant coffee in his cup in one gulp and turned to leave the WMA office building.

Behind him, Jenny shook his head slightly.

Regret?

Do you think you're Jack Cheng or Jett Lee?

You're a Chinese-American, and you don't have the huge market across the sea to back you up, I won't regret it in my life!

But only Xia Le himself knows.

Wait a little longer, and when Tony Stark comes back bruised, he'll be on the road to superstardom.

This is typical of giving you a chance, only to give up on your own!

But fortunately, Jenny didn't have anything to do with the producer's disappearance at all, and probably subconsciously thought it was related to the death of investor Wilson Fisk.

……

Returning to the cramped rental house from Williams Morris Economics, Chaillot stayed at home for two days.

He basically didn't go out except for eating, and while he was familiar with this body, he was familiar with the common sense of this world.

The comics and movies in the Marvel world basically revolve around superheroes and supervillains, and many basics are not mentioned.

For example, there are still WMAs and CAAs in this world, but some celebrities who are familiar to Charlotte have changed.

Without James Cameron, the king of the world, there is only James Cameron, a truck driver.

There is no Governor Mr. Arnold, only the former bodybuilding star and current Arnold gym chain owner Arnold.

Also, although there is no Marvel and Marvel Comics in this world, there is another behemoth of comic book movies, DC.

The Batman movies and Superman movies in this world are very hot and noteworthy.

Charlotte also has to remember these things.

On the third day of coming to this world, Xia Le received a call from Mindy.

In his own home, Mindy said to Xia Le while playing with the butterfly knife.

"Again, my name is Mindy McCready, and Big Daddy is my father, Damon McCready."

"My mother was killed by the big drug lord Frank when I was very young, and our goal has always been to avenge her. But the day before yesterday, the big drug lord didn't know who he offended, and he was killed by a bomb in his office. ”

"It is said that not long before he was killed, a gangster even more powerful than him was also killed with a bomb. Damon is looking into this matter now, and he can't control you for the time being, so let me train you. ”

Mindy lied here.

Damon was indeed killed in the bombing of Cha Frank, and he was not at home every day, so he couldn't keep busy at all, but he didn't let Mindy train Charlot.

Because of the suddenness of the incident, Damon hadn't even figured out the details of Xia Le, how could he accept him casually.

It's Mindy who doesn't have anything to do and feels bored at home, so he uses training Xia Le as an excuse to pass the time.

On the phone, Mindy asks Charlotte to her and Damon's personal training ground.

It is a basement with an area of more than five hundred square meters, which is equipped with a gymnasium, a small ring and a shooting training range.

Mindy threw a pair of gloves to Xia Le, put them on himself, and after climbing into the ring, he smiled at him and beckoned.

"Come up and have a fun and let me see how good you are."
