In the next room, Ovitz was equally shocked by Jamie's decision.

"Spin-off?"

"That's right, a spin-off drama with Charlie Harper as the protagonist, and the tentative title of the play is "Two and a Half Heroes"."

Ovitz was a little confused.

He can understand the two male protagonists, but judging from the title of this play, what does the other half of the male protagonist mean?

"A boy, because he is still underage, can only be counted as half."

Jamie explained.

However, Ovitz is more concerned about the boy's relationship with Charlie.

"Nephew."

Jamie replied dryly.

This was a bit of a surprise to Ovitz, who also thought that Jamie would set him up as Charlie's illegitimate son.

Because this is more in line with Charlie's character setting of a scumbag.

"Don't forget, 'Modern Family' will be presented in the form of a pseudo-documentary, in which most of the actors will play themselves, and this spin-off is no exception."

Jamie reminded.

In the previous life, the reason why "Modern Family" was able to sweep the United States was due to the style of this pseudo-documentary.

And in this life, Jamie insists on the pseudo-documentary style for one more reason.

His ultimate goal in filming "Modern Family" was to make the actors in it popular, and then let these actors better bring goods to the audience on TV shopping shows.

It's important for the actor to play himself in a TV series.

Because the actors are the same identity in and out of the play, it will be easy for the audience to confuse the boundary between TV series and TV shopping ads.

So as to effectively avoid the situation that the characters in the play are popular, but the actors are not popular.

Of course, the drawbacks are also obvious.

"Real-name acting" will completely tie the actor and the work, and when you transform to act in other works in the future, you will find that no matter how good your acting skills are, the audience will always remember your role at the beginning.

In the previous life, "Iron Man" Robert Downey Jr. is the most typical example.

After playing Iron Man, no matter what role Robert Downey Jr. plays, the audience only sees Tony Stark.

And Robert Downey Jr.'s movies outside of Marvel basically ended up hitting the street at the box office.

That's why Jamie will play a group of non-commissioner actors in his true colors.

To put it bluntly, he just uses TV series to create "Internet celebrities" in this era, rather than training these people into real actors.

Ovitz has been a star agent for so many years, and his thinking is still stuck in the old model, and he only turned the corner when Jamie reminded him.

"Modern Family" focuses on a reality, and "Two and a Half Heroes", as a spin-off, of course, has to maintain this style to a certain extent.

It is obviously inappropriate to arrange an illegitimate child for Charlie in the play.

After all, in reality, Ovitz has never heard of Charlie having been exposed to this scandal by the media.

"You mean find another little actor to play Charlie's nephew?"

"Don't be that troublesome."

Jamie picked up Charlie's resume from the table.

"Charlie just mentioned in the interview that he has a younger brother, and then it was mentioned on his resume that his younger brother named Allen got married very early, and the other party's children should meet my requirements."

Ovitz reacted immediately.

"So 'Two and a Half Heroes' is about Charlie, his brother and nephew?"

Jamie began to make the most of his storytelling skills, explaining to Ovitz the inspiration for the show Two and a Half Heroes.

"In the interview just now, Charlie's performance far exceeded my expectations, but in "Modern Family", Charlie doesn't have many scenes."

"So you came up with the idea of making a spin-off drama with him as the protagonist?" Ovitz spoke the rest for Jamie.

Jamie nodded and continued:

"It just so happens that Charlie is impersonating his brother to participate in the interview this time, combined with the information provided on this resume, I guess Charlie's brother has just lost his job recently and lives with Charlie with his children, which means that he should be divorced."

"Did you notice that this is a very dramatic thing?"

"Charlie is a golden bachelor, his attitude to life is to play the world, but he can easily make money, live in a big villa in Marbury Beach, and live a life of changing girlfriends every day."

"And Charlie's younger brother Allen, got married early and had children, but his hard work in exchange for unemployment and divorce was unemployed."

"One lucky one, the other unlucky one, I think the daily story of these two brothers living together will be as interesting as the story between the three families in Modern Family."

As an old bird who has been in Hollywood for many years, how could Ovitz not hear the voice-over in Jamie's words.

That's why Ovitz was shocked.

Jamie not only wants to create a TV series with Charlie as the protagonist, but also plans to bring Charlie's younger brother and nephew in as the starring role.

But the question is, will Charlie's brother be what Jamie expects?

"Betty told me that Charlie wasn't coming alone for the interview today, so I guess his brother Ellen is next door too, so why don't we meet him directly?"

Jamie shrugged and replied.

In the next room, Charlie still had a shocked expression on his face.

Before he could fully digest the news that Walter had brought, Betty walked into the room again.

She didn't have a list of interviewees in her hand, and just called out a name.

"Mr. Alan Cooper."

Charlie reflexively got up from his seat, and then reacted that Jamie and Ovitz next door knew his true identity.

So it's not called him this time?

Immediately Charlie sat down again, and at the same time poked Alan beside him with his elbow.

Alan looked at Charlie with a puzzled face.

Charlie glanced in the direction of the door, and Alan reacted.

Is it him who Betty is calling this time?

At Charlie's urging, Alan hesitated to get up from his seat.

"Please follow me."

Betty finished speaking and turned to go out the door.

Alan followed with some nervousness, and in the process, he also bumped into a chair and nearly fell.

This time it was Walter's turn to be shocked and turned to ask Charlie.

"You two are interviewing for the same role?"

Charlie looked at the back of Allen leaving with interest, shrugged and replied:

"Maybe."

This confuses Walter.

The two of you are together, what role does Alan interview for, you don't know?

Charlie didn't explain more.

His instincts told him that today's interview had become more and more interesting.

Ten minutes later, Alan went and returned.

As soon as he sat down, Charlie asked him how he was.

Walter on the side also pricked up his ears, looking very attentive.

Alan shrugged.

"You may not believe it, but I just chatted with the two interviewers when I went in."

Charlie and Walter were stunned.

They couldn't figure out what Jamie Dutton and Michael Ovitz had to talk about with a "reckless snake" like Allen?

"They asked me about my previous job and family, and they also learned a little bit about you, Jack, Evelyn, Judith and Porta."

"By the way, I also managed to get an autograph from Jamie Dutton for a copy of Percy Jackson, saving at least $300."

What?

Charlie looked confused and had a question mark.

Jamie and Ovitz are reasonable to ask Alan about his situation, but what the hell is it to ask his mother Evelyn, Allen's ex-wife and even their maid?

This is an interview, not an FBI account check.

Alan was also confused about this, but he still told Charlie a key piece of information.

The person who is interested in what he has just mentioned about these people is Jamie.

Charlie's eyes lit up immediately.

He thought of a possibility!

The spin-off series that Walter mentioned, shouldn't he be ready to make him the leading actor?

Looking at Allen, who was still ignorant on the side, Charlie silently added in his heart.

Maybe count your own stupid brother as well.

The next room.

Interviewer No. 2, Joey, followed Betty nervously and walked into the room.

Betty led Joey to the center of the room, smiled encouragingly, and turned away.

Joey mustered up the courage to speak, when Jamie's voice rang out first.

"Miss Joey, Betty has told us everything about your situation, I only have one question, will you be nervous in front of the camera?"

Joey hesitated for a moment, but finally decided to tell the truth.

"I don't know, because I've never had any experience on TV or filming, but I'm sure I can overcome it even if I'm nervous."

Joey looked up at Jamie and Ovitz, trying to squeeze a confident smile out of his face.

"Like now, I was nervous when I first came in, but now I feel much better."

Jamie smiled and nodded, indicating that he was done.

He had a good impression of Joey, who had the same face as the "big cousin" of the Oscar-winning actress in his previous life, Jenverny Lawrence.

Especially knowing that the other party is also good at invention and creation, and will become the inventor of the magic mop in the future, Jamie made up his mind to train him to become the American version of the first sister with goods.

For this reason, he even did not hesitate to modify the character setting of "Modern Family", just to add Joey's character to it.

It was Ovitz's turn, and after looking down at Joey's resume, he raised his head and held his glasses and asked:

"Miss Joey, this resume in my hand shows that you still have more than four months to turn eighteen, right?"

Joey nodded.

Ovitz then asked:

"So who is your current guardian?"

"My mother."

"She's unemployed at home, living on government benefits and your grandmother's house?"

"Yes."

"As a Hollywood professional agent with more than 30 years of experience, I can tell you responsibly that I have seen too many fallen child stars over the years, and these people all have a common characteristic, parents only use their children as a money-making tool, and your family undoubtedly belongs to this situation."

The smile on Joey's face froze.

She was tempted to refute Ovitz and tried to find evidence that her parents loved her.

But in the end, Joey was disappointed to find out that what Ovitz said was the truth.

Ovitz looked up at Joey.

"Want to hear my advice?"

Joey nodded subconsciously.

"We can sign a short-term contract with you, and your guardian will sign it with us, and then when you reach adulthood, we can avoid your parents and sign a formal contract."

This was actually Jamie's request, but it came through Ovitz's mouth.

Jamie, who is familiar with the plot, knows that Joey's parents are typical vampire parents.

After Joey's success, he even wanted to snatch Joey's career for himself.

Since Jamie has decided to focus on raising Joey, of course, he has to guard against Joey's parents in advance.

This is also the reason why Joey's parents in "Modern Family", Jamie would rather find someone else to play it, and he didn't plan to let Joey's parents in reality play the true colors.

Joey didn't say yes on the spot, she wanted to think about it a little longer.

Jamie glanced at Betty, who was standing in the doorway.

Betty understood and said that she would definitely convince Joey when she turned back.

After Joey left the room, he was followed by interviewer No. 3 named Taylor Sloan.

The blonde girl had a face identical to that of Elizabeth Olsen, the Scarlet Witch from her previous life.

The last time he saw Taylor on the list of unsuccessful auditions for the heroine of "Fifty Shades of Grey", Jamie made up his mind to recruit the big influencer with millions of fans in advance.

Taylor is the kind of extroverted and lively personality, very cheerful and talkative.

And compared to an old guy like Ovitz, she is obviously more willing to communicate with Jamie as a peer.

Towards the end of the interview, Taylor asked directly about her role in the show.

"You play the youngest daughter of an old man in her sixties, two sisters who are almost the same age as your mother, two nieces of the same age and a stepmother who is seven or eight years older than you."

As soon as Jamie's words fell, Taylor followed up and asked:

"My stepmother can't be the Colombian woman with a very sexy body who is interviewer No. 1, right?"

Jamie nodded and said:

"That's right, it's her."

Taylor asks again:

"How is my relationship with her in the play?"

Jamie gave an open-ended answer.

"Can you imagine what your attitude would be towards her if she became your stepmother in reality?"

Despite never acting, Taylor's answer gives a textbook answer.

"It depends on whether she intervenes in my parents' marriage as a third party, if so, then my relationship with her is intolerable, and it will never be reconciled, if not, then I may resist her at first, but gradually accept her, I understand it well, right?"

Jamie and Ovitz looked at each other.

If he had Taylor's resume in his hand, Ovitz even wanted to ask if Taylor had really never acted before?

Because in Ovitz's view, Taylor's precise grasp of the role is so sophisticated that it doesn't look like a seventeen-year-old girl should look like at all.

But Taylor was not satisfied with this, and a pair of beautiful blue eyes continued to stare at Jamie and asked:

"You haven't told me what kind of relationship I have with my stepmother in the play."

"In the play, your mother died of illness, and your father married your stepmother not long before the plot began."

This setting was improvised by Jamie.

Considering that Modern Family is a heartwarming and joyful series, Jamie didn't want to add any bloody content to it.
