Hollywood Hunter

Very curiously watching the boy leave, Jonathan Friedman called her voice in her ear, and she hurried to the agent's office.

Jonathan just motioned for her to sit down first, and then whispered something to Owen Wright who was called in together.

She could only continue to wait patiently, daring not to show any dissatisfaction, but she was envious of the boy just now.Can Jonathan be so solemnly entertained, is it a family member of Hollywood?

The idea was overthrown by her as soon as it rose, and the other party looked nothing like a rich man.

Although pretending to be okay, she still heard that Jonathan asked Irving to prepare a contract based on her memorandum, and also took a copy of the script, obviously related to the boy just now.

What a lucky guy. Fortunately, he is a boy and will not compete with himself, but they will have opponents in the future.

Thinking about it, I still had some little gloating in my heart.

When Owen left, Jonathan talked about her.

NBC still cut off "Superman Agents", this is her first TV show starring.But she was not too disappointed. She still wanted to be a movie star. She participated in the TV series just to accumulate qualifications.

Jonathan has recently been promoted to vice president of WMA. Although talent agency companies can easily get a vice president position as long as their agents have big-name clients, WMA vice president should still be able to bring more opportunities for themselves.

The agent did not disappoint her.

Warner Pictures is preparing a fantasy comedy called "Beetle Juice" with a budget of 15 million US dollars. This is a big production, and the production cost of "Zhuangzhi Lingyun" is only 15 million US dollars.Jonathan has helped her win one of the most important supporting role auditions.There is also an audition for the heroine of a MGM TV movie, the time is next week.

After talking about the matter, she left with joy in two audition materials.

I picked up my car in the parking lot and turned onto Camino Street, thinking about it or going south to take the Olympic Boulevard back to Santa Monica.It is now the peak period of get off work, and the Wilser Boulevard in the north can definitely block people.

The traffic on the Olympic Boulevard was indeed sparse. She drove forward for two or three minutes and was about to leave the area of ​​Century City. However, she unexpectedly found a figure not far away in front of her, a cheap black T-shirt, and some white-washed jeans. The light gray rucksack is obviously the guy.

What's more, his shabby-looking Luo Tuo walked on the sidewalk of a city road like a running car in the sunset, even giving people a feeling of wandering the world, like a lonely wandering poet.

Her eyes were attracted, and she unknowingly slowed down her car and leaned towards the side of the road.

This guy is awesome.

Thinking so shallow in her mind, she pressed the window of the car and greeted the figure by the road: "Hi."

...

Leaving WMA's headquarters, Simon called a woman at the phone booth on the street, using the contact information left by Catherine, and wanted to tell her that she had decided to sign a contract with Jonathan Friedman.

No one connected the phone, Simon could only choose to leave a message.

Then began to calculate the next settlement.

Renting a house is definitely impossible for the time being and can only choose to live in a hotel.

If you only consider the price, there are many places to go.

But in Los Angeles, security issues are issues that must be treated very carefully.Moreover, he can't live too far from the WMA headquarters without a car.

After pondering between Hollywood in the north and Santa Monica in the east, Simon decided to go to Santa Monica.There are many cheap motels across the 405 highway between Beverly Hills and Santa Monica.

Determined, Simon went south along Camino Street,

After walking for about twenty minutes, Simon felt a white car approaching slowly towards him. He was a little puzzled, and a girl said hello in the falling window.

With the driver's seat on the left, Simon looked down into the car and found that it was Courteney Cox who had just met at WMA.

Entering Hollywood, he will also sign a contract with a brokerage giant such as WMA. Simon knows that he will definitely be exposed to many faces that could only be seen on the big screen in the future, so for the "Monica" in "Friends" who just met by chance. There is no special feeling.

Seeing Courteney Cox take the initiative to say hello to himself at this time, Simon is still somewhat surprised, but still responds politely: "Hello."

Courteney Cox saw the boy outside the car window looking at himself brightly and raised his hand in a random gesture before saying: "That, we just met in Jonathan's office, I live in Santa Monica, Do you want to take a ride?"

"Okay, thank you."

Simon nodded with a smile, and the road teeth under his feet were painted in striking red. This is a no-stop sign, so he didn't hesitate and reached for the door.

Courteney Cox put away the audition material she had just placed on the front passenger seat and threw it into the back row. When Simon came in and sat down, she immediately stepped on the accelerator.

After the car ran smoothly, Courteney looked up at the boy next to him through the rearview mirror and said, "My name is Courtney Cox, how about you?"

"Simon Westeros."

Simon answered, his gaze also looking at the girl beside him through the rearview mirror.

At this time, Courteney Cox was in his early twenties, with short hair like a tomboy, and his face was a little thin, so his eyes appeared very large, giving people a sense of vibrancy.Although the whole person is very beautiful, it is difficult to conceal the greenness, and some of the customs in the later "Friends" are missing.

"Oh," Courteney nodded, retracting his gaze in the rearview mirror with the boy next to him, looking at the road ahead to find a topic: "So, are you familiar with Jonathan?"

Simon shook his head and said: "No, it was just introduced by a friend. I will meet for the first time today."

"Then you are so powerful that you can chat with Jonathan for more than an hour for the first time. Did you just go to Los Angeles and plan to be an actor?"

"No, I'm a screenwriter."

Courteney looked at Simon in surprise, then quickly drew back his gaze and said, "That would be even worse."

After all, it was the first contact, and the two just chatted casually.

After a few minutes, the car crossed the 405 highway into downtown Santa Monica and continued to drive forward for less than a kilometer. Simon then motioned to Courtena to stop and put himself down.

Saying goodbye to the girl, Simon began to find a foothold in the streets of downtown Santa Monica.

As Simon remembers, there are indeed many nearby motels.

However, after learning that Simon does not have any type of bank card and wants to live longer, but cannot pay enough deposit in advance, most hotels have turned Simon out of the door.

After searching for several blocks in a row, Simon finally found a hotel willing to accept himself in the alley near the southern edge of the city.

Because the self-introduced boss named Diago Salcado is Hispanic, in his sixties, and is also the first generation of immigrants.After listening to the boss's strong English, Simon tried to communicate with each other in Spanish, and the results were very good.

Finally, the boss agreed to rent a single room on the second floor of the hotel near the road to Simon for $100 per week.Simon only needs to pay a $50 deposit first, and the subsequent room money can be paid once a week.

Obviously seeing Simon's squeezed state, the boss kindly reminded him that he did not need to reserve a tip for the room cleaner, because his wife was doing this.

The whole process once again made Simon realize the truth of'how important it is to master a foreign language'.

It took a whole day to sign the contract the next day.

In order to avoid any clauses that caught him off guard, Simon carefully studied the content of the twenty-page contract over and over again.Although he can't afford a lawyer now, the relevant information in his memory is enough.Finally, I discussed with Jonathan Friedman to add or subtract some details.

After signing the agency contract, the next thing to do is to wait.

Even though Jonathan Friedman is very optimistic about the "Butterfly Effect" script, but the script sales are definitely not completed overnight. Many scripts will even stay in the hands of the agent for several years. Simon also has certain psychological preparations for this situation.

However, despite signing a three-year contract with Jonathan Friedman, Simon will not hang himself 100% on the tree of WMA unguarded.

There is also a restrictive clause in the detailed contract content. If Jonathan Friedman fails to conclude a deal with the film company after submitting three consecutive scripts, Simon has the right to submit three months in the third script and After the full contract period exceeds nine months, the agency relationship is terminated with the other party.

Having settled the contract with WMA, Simon began to work on his own livelihood issues.

In fact, Simon is obviously more comfortable than other things in this respect.

In just two days, Simon found a job at a 7-11 convenience store in midtown Santa Monica.

When interviewing Simon’s convenience store middle-aged fat boss Roger Griffin saw that the good-looking big boy skillfully completed a series of replenishment, inventory, yardage and even cash register, he suddenly felt that Simon had a promising future and was very cheerfully hired. Got him.

However, in terms of salary, perhaps it is because of the Hollywood drift status that Simon cannot find too much work, Roger Griffin seems very stingy, only willing to pay the basic hourly salary of $3.50.

The only advantage is that the salary of the convenience store is settled weekly, and Simon can get $140 per week, which is just enough for him to pay the basic living expenses.

However, on the third day of working in a convenience store, Simon had to face a difficult problem.When he checked into the hotel a week ago, he had less than $100 left in his pocket, and he also paid a $50 deposit.

right now.

It's time to clear the house money in the first week, but the day when the convenience store settles the salary has not yet arrived.
