The two women listened to Lina talk about these inside stories related to a certain important person, even if they were not private gossip, they both enjoyed it and wanted to chat more, but the female assistant quickly shut up and gestured to the script in the hands of the two women.

The two of Amy had no choice but to put away their thoughts and start brewing the thin pages of the script in their hands.

After more than half an hour, a thin middle-aged man in his 40s rushed over. It was the manager of the two women, Jason Buster.

As soon as he was seated, the tired manager said to the two women with emotion: "Amy, Jessie, you must pay attention to dating in the future, first find out the age of the little boy," and burst out an American style After scolding, I don't know if I was talking to the two girls or talking to myself: "Since Michael's incident, the little things now have found a way to make money, and one is more ruthless than the other."

This obviously has a story.

The two women looked up and waited together, but unfortunately the manager had already braked, took the coffee brought by the waiter, took a few sips, and returned to normal, as if those words just now were not what he said at all, and turned to other things: "Let's say something first You must want to know the good news at the first time. I just got a call on the way when I came here. There will be a bonus for Ghost Story. Amy is 30 US dollars. Jesse, you also have 10 US dollars. They all need to sign a clear contract for the sequel, and Jesse is sure to be the heroine of the sequel. Oh, yes, the matter with the actors union has also been settled, and this agreement, you will be guaranteed by the basic agreement of the union."

Beside Jason Buster, Lena, who was sipping coffee in her hand, obviously paused when she heard a certain sentence in the manager's words.

During this period of time, Jessica Chastain has been following the publicity as a small supporting role, and everyone speculates that she may play the leading role in the sequel.

Now, sure enough.

The first reactions of Amy and Jessica were surprises, but after hearing the attached conditions, Jessica calmed down first: "Jason, when we were running a promotion a few days ago, Danny Morris still chatted with us. However, suggest that we stop making fake documentaries?"

"It's to prevent your next movie from taking over Hollywood's messy mockumentaries, which will make you stereotyped. "Ghost Story" is of course different."

Amy went straight to the point: "Jason, if we sign the sequel, how much will we get paid?"

The agent looked at Amy: "Your role has come to an end, and there is a high probability that you will only be a background cameo in the follow-up, and you will get a symbolic basic salary. Jesse, as the heroine of the sequel, the salary can reach about 30." .”

Amy was immediately disappointed, and couldn't help feeling sorry for Jessica: ""Ghost Story" is so popular now, Jesse can only get 30 for the heroine of the sequel?"

"You have to understand that this movie is very popular, not the few of you actors. Moreover, because of the subject matter of the entire series, even if the first film sells 5 million US dollars at the global box office, the sequel can only be low. Cost, it is impossible to give you too much pay."

Amy blurted out: "Then we won't act."

Jason looked helplessly at Amy, who had just finished speaking and was obviously regretful: "If you don't act, first of all, you won't get the reward this time, and second, you will be sued because the sequel agreement was included in the original terms. In addition, It’s not just Daenerys, you don’t even want to get opportunities from other studios, to sum up, you can just quit Hollywood.”

Amy fell silent.

Even though they only received $8000 from the project, the actor agreement did include a sequel clause, but there were no details.Obviously, this time Daenerys is going to use a bonus as an incentive, and at the same time clarify the details.

If they disagree, the outcome is basically as judged by the agent.

Seeing that Amy calmed down, Jason Buster glanced at Jessica who obviously had no objection, and then continued: "Amy, Jesse, from now on, I hope you will read "Ghost Story" As a past tense, you have no choice but to sign the next agreement. However, after signing, Daenerys Entertainment will definitely give you more resources in other areas in order to ensure the sequel. What you have to do , is to get rid of the label of cheap pseudo-documentary star that may be stereotyped as soon as possible, understand?"

The two women didn't hesitate much this time, and both nodded quickly.

Jason Buster also nodded slightly in satisfaction. Fortunately, it wasn't the two DumbBlondes who were so simple-minded that they couldn't be saved, so he talked about another thing: "Also, Michael Jordan, the chairman of Westinghouse Electric, is speaking at Bayley tonight. There is a reception held in Seoul, and the crew of "Ghost Story" is invited, you can participate, it will be very helpful for networking."

Before Jessica said it, Amy blurted out with a puzzled look: "Michael Jordan?"

Jason Buster laughed; "Same name, a fat 60-year-old white guy."

Amy snorted, and subconsciously said, "We don't know each other, why should we go to his reception?"

"..."

"..."

"..."

Seeing that the three people around were speechless, Amy realized that she had said something stupid, and said quickly: "Okay, I'll go."

Jason had no choice but to explain again: "Westinghouse Electric acquired CBS two years ago. CBS knows, right? Then, this company has been strengthening its layout in the media field in the past two years. Recently, Westinghouse and Siemens reached an agreement to sell part of the The power business is getting a lot of cash, it's recently strengthening its own film and television production department, and it may also acquire major studios in the future. All in all, you just need to remember that Michael Jordan will also be a big player in Hollywood next, because of his recent "Ghost Story" is so popular that we invite you two newcomers, and there will be many Hollywood celebrities at the party, it is a good opportunity to build a network, we should cherish it."

Only then did Amy understand.

Jessica hesitated, and asked tentatively, "Jason, will Simon go?"

This question made everyone in the room stunned, and after a while, the manager said: "Simon happens to be in Los Angeles these days, and he may go, so you all need to cheer up and deal with it."

The two girls nodded quickly again.

Even though there was some resentment about an unchoiceable result just now, Amy and Amy were instinctively looking forward to seeing Simon Westeros again.

After Jason finished speaking, he raised his wrist and looked at his watch, and said, "We'll go to the audition scene at 9:50, you guys still have some time, so prepare again, by the way, Jesse, about "Elizabeth", Lena and Did you say it?"

"I said so."

"This is a bit regrettable, but don't be disappointed, you will not lack opportunities in the future."

"Ah."

Having said that, the two women continued to prepare for the audition of "Celebrities". They didn't notice one thing during the whole process, which was Jason's intentional or unintentional indifference to Lina next to him.

Lena Kane didn't mind either, and understood Jason Buster's reaction very well.

The two women are thinking about winning over Lina these days, and Lina is also considering her own future.

Before becoming the assistant of the two women, Lena, who graduated from USC, was an intern under the WMA, and had been working in the WMA mail room for a year, where a large number of legendary agents were born.

She got this opportunity because her parents were somewhat connected with the circle.Because through her parents' contacts, Lena found out that the two daughters were candidates for "Ghost Story" personally designated by Simon Westero, and even knew more inside stories about "Ghost Story", such as this is Simon West A project conceived and planned by Luo himself.

Therefore, whether it is the movie itself or the participating actors, the prospects can be imagined.

Now, "Ghost Story" is very popular, which is basically within Lina's expectation.

However, just before Jason Buster revealed that Jessica Chastain will be the heroine of the "Ghost Story" sequel, Lena has not yet fully determined her next career direction.

She will definitely not continue this assistant job like a nanny.

The initial consideration, the next option is to upgrade to Amy or the manager of the two women, and have the same rights as the agent to extract the actors' remuneration, but this requires the promotion of the two women or one of them Fast enough to reach the point where two backbones are needed to help them take care of their careers.

Otherwise, brokers and managers whose functions overlap to a large extent will inevitably have differences and even confrontations.

The second option is to steal at least one client from Jason Buster.

During this period of time, the two women have fully recognized her ability in their hearts, so Lena has enough confidence to dig into the wall.

Amy Adams is of course the best choice, but unfortunately it is too difficult, and it is really a steal. Jason Buster will definitely be impatient and bring the matter to Jonathan Friedman.

As the head of WMA, Jonathan could not like to see WMA infighting, and her parents' connections could not support Friedman's possible anger.

So better take Jessica Chastain.

However, the problem reappeared.

Jessica is just a supporting role in "Ghost Story", even if the film is very popular, because this film is a typical type of film that is not popular, Amy is still there, Jessica, the future is still uncertain.

Just now, I heard that Jessica Chastain was confirmed as the heroine of the sequel of "Ghost Story", which can be regarded as confirming the guarantee of Jessica's future, and it is even more secure, because since she is the protagonist of the sequel, in order to ensure that With the success of the sequel project, it will be easier for Jessica to obtain resource support from Daenerys Entertainment than Amy, who is already on the verge.

Now that he has made up his mind to snatch Jessica away from Jason Buster, the agent is keenly aware of her threat, so there is nothing wrong with being cold, and he may even be thinking about how to kick her away first.

That's the way Hollywood is.

No smoke, still on the battlefield.The people here may not be smart, but there will never be a pure, innocent and kind-hearted little white rabbit, because they cannot survive.

Chapter 1184 Reserved, must be reserved

Chapter 1184 Reserved, you must be reserved. The red Chevrolet shuttled along the winding Bel Air Mountain Road, and stopped at a small square at the end of the road on the top of the mountain. There were people and cars coming and going at the entrance of a mansion occupying a hill in front of it. The dark night reflects the brightly lit interior of the mansion.

Lena Kane parked her car, turned her head to Amy Adams and Jessica Chastain who were about to get out of the car, and said, "OK, girls, it's up to you next time, remember what I said, Although this is a reception, try to drink as little as possible. Also, don’t be shy. If you can recognize the big names, go up and say hello, impress them, and you may be remembered in the next movie. But remember, be reserved , you must be reserved, and don't be tricked into bed by those guys with a few words, what they are best at is pulling up their pants and denying it."

After listening to Lena's instructions, Amy asked with a smile, "Lena, what if you meet Simon?"

Lina's tone was serious: "Don't have any hesitation, seize the opportunity and kneel in front of him, untie his belt, and use all the tricks you have seen and heard."

Amy reached out to pinch Lena's round face: "Lena, can you stop being so serious when you speak hooligans, haha."

Lina opened Amy's little hand, her eyes widened slightly: "Hey, I'm [-]% serious, Amy, did you listen to what I just explained?"

Amy withdrew her hand, her expression restrained a little, she nodded and said, "I remember, Lena."

The round-faced girl looked at Jessica again, and Jessica nodded quickly.

Lina waved her hand and said, "That's it, let's go, I will pick you up at 10 o'clock."

The two girls pushed the door to get out of the car, and stopped for a while at the same time, wanting to watch Lina turn the car and leave, until the girl in the driver's cab waved her hand to signal no, then took out the invitation letter and walked towards the door of the mansion.

When Jessica Chastain presented the invitation letter to the welcome guests, she couldn't help but glance at the red Chevrolet that had turned her head.

Now that she had made up her mind, Lena Kane did not hesitate at all. She accompanied the two girls to finish the audition in the morning, and helped them to look at the house and move in the afternoon. She did not slack off at work. However, during this time, the round-faced assistant Jessica had just settled down in the afternoon. After the new home, he confessed his plans to her.

Jessica does not lack her own ideas, but she was also persuaded by Lena. The only thing she was embarrassed about was how to confess to her agent and even Amy. Besides, in Hollywood where everyone has their own thoughts, she can feel that Amy is I really think of her as a friend.However, even without Lena's analysis, Jessica understood that the two were destined to be competitors again.

Lena decisively took over all these things, saying that it only takes one weekend.

The broker doesn't say anything.

In Amy's place, the two have already lived separately, and each has its own agent. They must be busy with their own careers. Probably, this friendship will inevitably fade.

After checking the invitation letter and walking into this mansion together, Jessica has regained her composure.

In any case, it's not bad to get together and get away.

The two entered the mansion villa side by side. As soon as they arrived at the lobby, they noticed a certain fat white man who was chatting warmly with the guests. Lena brought a photo to show them in advance. This is the Westinghouse Electric with the same name and surname as a certain basketball superstar Head Michael Jordan.

Seeing the two women approaching, the red-faced Michael Jordan also recognized it at a glance. After all, there are not many people who have not watched "Ghost Story" recently, especially in the circle: "Good evening, two ladies, oh oh , you are so beautiful tonight, it is fascinating."

"Mr. Jordan, thank you for your hospitality."

"Don't be so polite, call me Michael, or Mike. Speaking of which, the performance of the two ladies in "Ghost Story" is really great, and this movie, once again tells everyone the powerful magic of movie images .”

When the two girls listened to Michael Jordan's repeated compliments, they both had an idea that this is a very talkative man, and it is easy to feel good about him.

Fortunately, the two women did not forget Lina's repeated entrustment.

Reserved, must be reserved.

So they chatted for a while, and the two girls walked away on their own initiative.

Because of the huge sales of "Ghost Story", the two women didn't need to spend much effort. Just a few steps away from Jordan, someone came up to strike up a conversation again.

They also knew a man who was also very talkative, Michael Ovitz, the head of CAA.

It is also a compliment to the performance of the two women in "Ghost Story", Michael Ovitz cut to the point: "Amy, Jessica, think about it, how about coming to CAA, in my opinion, both of them She is an actress with great potential, she should have better development, come to CAA, I can personally plan the next development direction for you, you two, you have to remember, this is very important.”

Sugar-coated cannonballs.

Reserved, must be reserved.

The two women responded with a smile, and muttered silently in their hearts again, without losing their minds at all.

This CAA boss obviously played a word game just now, helping them plan in person, not acting as an agent for them personally, even though CAA is a unique cross-agent model, but if he really quits, it's hard to say who he will be thrown to someone who is completely unfamiliar , In comparison, whether it is Jason Buster or Lena Kane, they both know the bottom line and recognize their abilities.

However, in the end they failed to resist Michael Ovitz's lobbying. Before the two women walked away, the other party asked for their contact information. In the following days, they were chased by CAA "infantry fighters" who are known for their perseverance. for a long time.

"Oh, Mr. Howard, I am a fan of your movie. I have watched "The Mermaid", "The Cocoon", "Apollo 13" and so on. Also, the "The Wind and Cloud Meeting" back then, I think it is a movie. A very underrated movie. By the way, Mr. Howard, what have you been up to?"

"For the time being, we are planning an HBO science series with Hanks and the others, telling the story of humans' journey to the moon in the 20th century."

"Great, sounds like a lot to look forward to."

"What about you, Jessica?"

"I, I just auditioned for a new Woody Allen film today. In addition, there is also the gathering of "Ghost Story". I will probably play the leading actress."

On the lawn in the backyard of Bel-Air Hilltop Villa overlooking the scenery of Los Angeles, Ron Howard raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard Jessica Chastain say the second half of the sentence: "The sequel to Ghost Story, um, you It’s a great coherent plan to play the female lead, and I’ve been paying attention to this project recently, and I’m considering thinking about a similar film.”

"Oh, you can definitely do better than us." Jessica said here, reaching out to Ron Howard: "I mean, Mr. Howard, I hope we can have a chance to cooperate."

Ron Howard knew that this was the end of the topic, so he shook hands with the girl opposite and said with a smile, "Of course."

"So, sorry, I'm going to say hello to the others."

"Please."

Leaving Ron Howard, Jessica went straight to her next target, the famous Hollywood producer, Jerry Bruckheimer.

Amy was no longer with her.

The main reason is that during the initial socializing process between the two, they found that everyone's attention was basically on Amy, the heroine of "Ghost Story", and she was reduced to a supporting role just like in the movie. Jessica found an appropriate opportunity to meet with Amy left and shuttled through the reception alone.

I also think in my heart that accepting Lena's suggestion is a very correct choice. If I continue to stay with Jason, the manager will definitely focus more on Amy, who is more famous.

After playing the "Ghost Story" sequel heroine card again, Jessica soon had a good talk with Jerry Bruckheimer.

The two were chatting when they suddenly noticed an obvious commotion coming from the villa. They looked over together, and after only a moment, they understood the reason from the discussions of the surrounding guests.

Here comes Simon.

There is no shortage of people named Simon in Hollywood, or in other words, there are a lot of people with any name, but it is obvious that there is only one 'Simon' who can still cause such a commotion among a group of big names at the top of the Hollywood pyramid.

Jessica was hesitating whether to take the initiative to go over to say hello, when Bruckheimer beside her said, "Sorry, Miss Chastain, I'll leave for a while."

"Oh, it's alright."

Jessica watched the legendary Hollywood producer who has been famous for a long time and has produced a large number of blockbuster movies leave in a hurry. Many Hollywood big shots around her, even if she can only look up to them now, gathered towards the exit of the villa intentionally or unintentionally. After a little hesitation, he also walked over there.
