Charlie followed Betty into the interview room.

Normally, Betty will guide the interviewee to the center of the room and introduce the two interviewers.

But when she got to Charlie, Betty didn't do anything but a self-conscious white eye, and just closed the door and left.

But Betty still underestimated Charlie, and he had already guessed the situation in the room before entering the door, so he was not embarrassed at all.

As soon as he entered, Charlie raised his hand to say hello to Ovitz.

"Michael, long time no see."

Ovitz nodded at Charlie.

"Charlie, you're still the same, haven't changed at all."

"Really?"

Charlie subconsciously touched his face.

"They all say I'm more manly, but I still like me more than a decade ago, when I not only had a body like Mr. Bodybuilder, but I could charm a bunch of women just by my looks, just like Mr. Dutton is right now!"

"Wow, is that really the case?"

Jamie turned his head to look at Ovitz, who was a little stuck by the protruding rainbow fart.

Without waiting for Ovitz to speak, Charlie preemptively prompted:

"Michael, remember what you said about me when we first met? You asked me if I would be interested in being an actor. ”

Ovitz lifted his glasses and looked at Charlie with interest with a pair of eyes hidden behind the lenses.

He's just old, but not to the point of being old and confused.

"Did I really say anything like that at the time?"

Charlie replied calmly:

"Of course, but at the time I turned down your request because I wanted to focus more on making music."

Ovitz sneered in his heart.

The result?

You put most of your energy into picking up girls.

Charlie had long guessed that Ovitz would have such a reaction, and immediately added a sentence.

"In recent years, I've been reflecting that if I had followed your advice, I would have become a Hollywood star with a net worth of over 100 million just like Tom Cruise."

Ovitz sneered in his heart and mended the knife.

And then sleep more and more beautiful women?

Charlie cheekily continued:

"Your vision has always been so outstanding, so I believe that this interview will start our second collaboration, and maybe in a dozen years, the story between me and you will become a Hollywood legend."

Ovitz didn't let Charlie continue to improvise, but interrupted him with a serious look.

"Charlie, I remember very clearly, I didn't say anything about your suitability to be an actor, on the contrary, I stopped a few times from sending you a few drama appointments when I was in CAA, and I told the film company at that time that if you want to find this guy to film, you have to be ready to help him wipe his ass all over the world, because you don't know that when this scene is finished, this guy can trick the crew into bed!"

Charlie's face froze on the spot.

Ovitz didn't intend to let him go, and continued:

"Now I only want to know one thing, and that is that you are serious about coming to this interview?"

Coming back to his senses, Cha Li replied without even thinking about it:

"Of course."

Ovitz picked up Charlie's resume.

"How do you explain this to me?"

Charlie looked at Ovitz with a sincere expression.

"I said it was just a mistake, do you believe it? At that time, I saw the recruitment information in the newspaper, and suddenly I had the idea of trying it, but it required me to submit a resume first, and you know me, all these years it was a job looking for me instead of me looking for a job, so I didn't submit a resume at all, so I could only take my brother's resume template. ”

Ovitz sneered:

"So you only changed the photo, and even forgot to change the name?"

Charlie shrugged.

Whether Ovitz believes it or not, he believes it anyway.

Ovitz had anticipated Charlie's scoundrel, and then asked:

"Why are you suddenly interested in acting, isn't it because of those beautiful actresses in the same crew?"

Charlie denied it on the spot, and swore that he already had a girlfriend and was ready to propose to the other party in the near future.

The purpose of applying for the TV shopping host this time is to prove to his girlfriend that he is ready to say goodbye to his past prodigal life.

But even if Charlie said the flowers, Ovitz was unmoved.

He knew too well what Charlie was urinating.

Closing the folder in his hand, Ovitz turned his head to look at Jamie, who was watching the play with his hands on the side, and said very seriously:

"As you saw just now, Charlie is 100% qualified for the role we are hiring, but I still have the same opinion of him as I did more than ten years ago, if you choose him, you have to consider all the troubles that this guy's prodigal private life may bring."

When Charlie heard this, he immediately panicked.

It's not known how much Ovitz was involved in the project, but with Ovitz's reputation and resume in Hollywood, it's likely that his opinion will influence the decision of the real interviewer, Jamie Dutton.

With his brain running rapidly, he really thought of a way to break the game.

"Mr. Dutton, if I'm right, you have such an open audition, and you want to hire more than just a TV shopping show host, right?"

Jamie was already ready to directly announce that Charlie had passed the interview, and he couldn't help but look up at Charlie when he heard this.

Charlie didn't realize that his self-made cleverness was superfluous, and thought he was right, so he began to talk.

"I've just taken a hard look at today's interviewees and found that there are so many different types of people, and you can't use so many roles in a TV shopping show, can you?"

"On top of that, if you're just hiring a TV shopping host, you won't need two of you heavyweights to be the interviewers yourself."

Jamie and Ovitz looked at each other.

I don't know if it was the sycophant just now that had an effect, but Ovitz praised Charlie for the first time.

"This guy really has a good eye, and that's probably one of the few advantages I can find in him."

As soon as he was praised, Charlie immediately reverted:

"In fact, I have many advantages, such as as a TV shopping host, if I were asked to make some product recommendations with women as the main consumer group, I think the effect should be very good, after all, I am really talented in understanding women."

It's rare that Ovitz didn't refute this time, just turned his head to look at Jamie.

Charlie didn't know that he was right this time, and his words went straight to Ovitz's heart.

Before the interview began this morning, Ovitz was still trying to persuade Jamie.

Ovitz doesn't deny that it's a great idea to include a plot in a TV shopping show, but after seeing the plot outline made by Jamie, Ovitz thinks that such a story can be made into a TV series on its own, otherwise it would be a waste of such a good idea.

And Jamie's concerns are mainly focused on a series of paradoxes that may be brought about by "the American drama world filming American dramas".

It wasn't until Charlie's mess in that Jamie realized that his worries were unnecessary.

For example, Charlie in front of him, he did not participate in any TV shopping host interviews in the original play.

But now he was standing in front of Jamie.

If the interview fails, Charlie's life will be back on track, following the plot that Jamie was familiar with in his previous life.

Then one day a few years later, Charlie fell off the subway platform and was hit by an oncoming subway and died.

Jamie may see the news in the newspaper or on the Internet, and at most sigh that another familiar character from his previous life has been killed by the plot.

But now there is a whole new choice in front of Jamie.

Recruit Charlie and let him play the ex-husband of the new single-parent heroine in "Modern Family".

In this way, the trajectory of Charlie's life will be completely changed.

In order to work, he had to move from Los Angeles to New York, in which case his large villa in Marbury Beach would have to be sold.

As soon as Charlie left, his younger brother Alan didn't want to be homeless, so he could only follow Charlie to New York to develop.

In this way, Charlie and Allen's lives are completely out of their original trajectory.

Jamie can also write the plot of "Two and a Half Heroes" into a script and shoot it, without worrying about the plot "colliding" with reality.

Thinking of this, Jamie turned his head to whisper to Ovitz.

Ovitz looked at Jamie with a shocked expression.

Eventually, Jamie's determined expression convinced Ovitz that he wasn't joking.

"Okay, Charlie, we can't be sure if you're the best fit for this role yet, you can go back next door and wait for news."

Charlie shrugged.

It wasn't the best he had envisioned, but at least it wasn't bad.

If he was just competing with the other interviewers in the next room, Charlie would still be confident in himself.

As the first interviewee to go and return, Charlie returned to the next door and sat down, which immediately triggered a burst of whispering.

Alan turned his head sideways to ask Charlie about the interview.

Walter on the side also pricked up his ears and wanted to eavesdrop, but unfortunately Charlie immediately discovered it.

To hide his embarrassment, Walter immediately changed the subject.

"Well, there's nothing wrong with the information I sold you, right?"

Charlie shook Walter's hand on the spot, saying that the $200 intelligence fee was well spent.

As soon as the two hands parted, Charlie asked curiously:

"By the way, you're not here just to sell information, are you?"

Walter shrugged.

"Of course not, I'm here for an interview."

Charlie and Alan were stunned.

"Really?"

"Of course!"

Walter proudly said that he was here to apply for the role of that scumbag.

Charlie and Allen were shocked.

With Walter's dignity, I don't know who gave him the courage to apply for this role.

Walter enjoyed Charlie and Allen's expressions at the moment, of course he wouldn't tell the two, in fact, he begged his girlfriend Betty for a long time before the other party reluctantly agreed to put him on the interview list.

Charlie shook hands with Walter again:

"Congratulations, you've successfully sold your intelligence to your competitors."

Walter was stunned.

"You're also applying for this role?"

Charlie winked at Walter:

"So want to know more details about the interview I just had?"

Walter nodded without hesitation.

Immediately afterwards he saw Charlie gesture towards him as he counted the bills.

After some mental struggle, Walter pulled out the two hundred dollars that were not hot in his pocket.

Unexpectedly, Charlie actually said that two hundred was not enough, and he had to add money.

While Walter was still thinking about it, Betty pushed the door in and called the 18th interviewer away.

This guy has long literary hair, and at first glance he is the role of the scumbag who was interviewed.

Knowing that Walter's interview number was the 20th, Charlie struck while the iron was hot and told Walter that there was not much time left for him to consider.

But Walter still couldn't make up his mind, he didn't feel distressed about giving 200, anyway, the money was earned from Charlie, but if he paid more money, he had to pay out of his own pocket.

Just over a minute later, Betty pushed the door in again and called away the 19th interviewer.

Obviously, the interview time on the 18th is very short.

There are only two possibilities for this situation, if the interviewer is taken by the interviewer at a glance on the 18th, either the interviewer has already found a suitable candidate, and the rest of the interview is a formality.

Walter gritted his teeth and pulled $50 out of his wallet after weighing it for a moment.

Charlie's psychological expectation is to increase the price by $100, but Walter is not very rich, so he can only accept it when he sees it.

After accepting the $50, Charlie asked Walter to come over and Barabala's ear whispered a bunch of things in his ear.

As soon as it was over, Betty pushed the door in and called out Walter's name.

Walter hurriedly straightened his clothes and stood up, gave Charlie a thankful look, and then confidently followed Betty to the next room.

Unlike the previous two interviewees, Walter's interview lasted seven or eight minutes.

This made Alan can't help but wonder if Charlie really told Walter all the interviews.

After another two minutes, the house rate door was pushed open.

Betty came in and called off the 21st interviewer, and Walter returned to his seat like Charlie.

At first, Charlie was worried that Walter would come back to ask him for the $50 intelligence fee, but Walt held Charlie's hand excitedly as soon as he sat down.

"Thanks to you, the recruitment of TV shopping hosts for this interview is just a cover, in fact, they are looking for suitable TV actors, and I have prepared for this, and I really used it during the interview."

"So you're chosen?" Alan asked more anxiously than Charlie.

Walter shrugged.

"No, as soon as I entered, the two interviewers told me that I was not suitable for the role of a scumbag."

This was not only Alan stunned, but even Charlie was stunned.

Since neither Jamie nor Ovitz are optimistic about Walter, and the interview has lasted so long?

Walter beckoned to Charlie with a mysterious expression, motioning for him to come over in his ear.

Charlie did as he was told.

After listening to Walter's whisper in his ear, Charlie's face was full of shock.

Jamie plans to make another spin-off in addition to "Modern Family", and the protagonist is the scumbag with a heart.

Although Walter did not interview for the role of a scumbag, Jamie felt that Walter's image was very special, so he promised to arrange an important supporting role for him in the "Modern Family" spin-off.
