I’m in Hollywood

Chapter 117: Tango girl

Views:

Eric also knows that behind this report, United Artists must be playing tricks, suppressing and discrediting competitors for their own benefit. This tactic has been used in almost all walks of life, but this simple and crude method can be used every time. Play a good effect.

After breakfast, put Virginia's share in the refrigerator, and bid farewell to the girl who was still recuperating on the bed, Eric drove to Firefly Company. Today there are still some actresses who need to audition.

As soon as he arrived at the company, he was pulled into the office by Jeffrey. You don't need to ask, just look at the ambiguous eyes of several other employees in the company and you will know what's going on. The "Los Angeles Times" is the most well-known newspaper in Los Angeles. In this era when there was no Internet and information was mainly transmitted through paper media and television, the subscription rate of residents in the greater Los Angeles area was still quite high. Therefore, Eric can be sure that Now everyone in the company must have known about the news that appeared in the newspaper.

Faced with Jeffrey's worried eyes, before the other party could speak, Eric quickly explained: "Jeffrey, I know, this is indeed my negligence. But Jennifer Connelly has already rejected this role, so , after the future character list is announced, this rumor will definitely be self-defeating."

Jeffrey sighed and said, "Okay, Eric, I hope you know what you're doing, do you need to contact Kapoor for some PR?"

Eric shook his head: "It's not necessary. An explanation of this kind of thing will be considered a cover-up instead. Ignoring it is the best way to deal with it."

Jeffrey nodded, took out a document and handed it to Eric: "This is the final offer I have discussed with those sponsors based on your opinion. Except for Motorola, others have been confirmed, a total of 3.4 million US dollars, If you have no objection, I will sign these contracts today."

Eric took it and flipped it over. Except for Motorola's $3 million order, which will not be signed until Cruise and Hanks are finalized, everything else has been settled. The highest Lamborghini paid $800,000. And the lowest price of Marvel comics is only 100,000 US dollars. In the movie, the robber Andy held a portfolio containing comics when he robbed the financial company. Not even sure if this ad will sell.

Seeing the name of Marvel Comics, Eric touched his chin subconsciously. This is a big gold mine. It must be won before the other party sells character licenses everywhere in order to ease financial pressure.

While the two were talking, Alan Fissman knocked on the office door: "Mr. Hansen, Eric, it's time for the audition."

"I'll be right there," Eric responded, and Allen nodded and backed out.

"Then I'm going to host the audition, Jeffrey, just sign the contract according to the above conditions. Take a good rest on the weekend, and start scouting for "Dark War" next week. It will definitely be very busy."

"I know," Jeffrey nodded, and then showed a complaining look: "As long as you don't come to harass me in the middle of the night."

Eric pouted, muttered, waved his hands and walked out of the office.

Perhaps because of the news about the actor's appointment in the "Los Angeles Times", after the audition began, several actresses who auditioned in succession seemed absent-minded.

Eric didn't bother to remind the other party of anything, he couldn't seize the opportunity with the hope of just in case, and he could only blame himself if he missed it.

"Next, Miss Gabriel Anwar."

A petite woman about eighteen years old walked in. Although she was wearing black high heels, the girl's height was still less than 1.7 meters.

"Hello, my name is Gabriel Anwar."

Eric carefully looked at the girl of the same age as him in front of him, with a sharp nose, thick lips, and a little Indian feature, it should be a mixed race. Looking at the information in front of him, he didn't follow the procedure for the girl to introduce herself, but asked, "Miss Anwar, did you come here from England?"

The girl nodded, and a charming smile appeared on her slightly thick lips: "I was born in Delsex County, but I also grew up in London."

Eric smiled, knowing that the girl was trying to get close to him. He also grew up in London until he was eight years old before moving to Los Angeles. Moreover, Eric himself still has British nationality, and Williams is one of the five most common surnames in the UK. Whether he likes it or not, he is doomed to be included in the Anglo-American circle of Hollywood.

"So, Miss Anwar, the information shows that you went to a drama and dance school, can you dance tango?"

The girl hesitated for a moment, but still shook her head: "No, but I have studied ballet for ten years. If necessary, I can learn tango in the shortest time."

Eric showed an appreciative expression: "Miss Anwar, I like your frankness very much. But I don't think you are suitable for this role, so there is no need for an audition."

The girl heard Eric's first half of praise, and before she had time to be happy, she heard Eric's words behind, and sat there for a while, a faint mist quickly appeared in her big eyes, and she was aggrieved and speechless Come.

When she saw the audition news for the lead actress in Eric Williams' new film released by Firefly, she sent her information with the intention of buying a prize ticket. She did not expect to receive an invitation for an audition. The girl was ecstatic After finally convincing her staid father, she came to Los Angeles alone to participate in this audition. Unexpectedly, the other party rejected her without even giving her a chance to perform. This kind of blow made her feel sad and wanted to cry.

"Oh, no," Eric was about to bow his head to write something, but when he saw the girl's reaction, he waved his hand quickly: "Miss Anwar, don't do this, I haven't finished yet."

The girl almost shed tears. Hearing Eric's words, she wiped the corners of her eyes, but raised her head in embarrassment. Eric gave a look to the assistant beside him, and the other party quickly sent a box of tissues to Ann. In front of Val.

After carefully wiping the corners of his eyes, Gabriel took out the makeup mirror in his bag and looked at it before he dared to raise his head again: "I'm sorry, Director Williams, I lost my composure."

"It's my fault." Eric was still afraid of the woman crying, and quickly took the responsibility on himself: "I didn't make it clear just now, I know, you are only eighteen years old, and you came all the way from the UK to audition. An easy thing."

"Thank you for your understanding, Mr. Williams."

"Well, Miss Anwar, the reason I just asked you if you can dance tango is because you are very suitable for a role in another movie I am planning, which is starring Al Pacino, Do you know Al Pacino?"

Gabriel nodded: "Of course, I have watched "Scent of a Woman" directed by you many times in England. The handsome Edward played by Mr. Pacino is very charming."

"That's good, Al's next movie lacks the role of a tango girl, and she is also the number one heroine in that movie, and I have my eyes on you at a glance. If you can play that role well, I believe It will definitely help your career more than being the heroine in my film."

Gabriel originally came to the audition with the mentality of winning again. She only participated in a few TV series in the UK, so she didn't have much hope. The reason why she collapsed just now was because Eric vetoed without any warning, which made her accept it for a short time.

Now when I suddenly heard the good news, the girl once again fell into a dream. After "The Wind and Moon", Al once again became an A-level superstar popular all over the world. He can even play a small supporting role in the movie he starred in. Will jump up happily, not to mention the number one heroine.

"Mr. Williams, I really don't know how to thank you." The girl clasped her hands on her chest and said excitedly.

Eric finished writing what he just wanted to write, asked his assistant to pass it to the girl, and said with a smile: "Miss Anwar, don't get too excited, although I do have the right to decide the role of that movie, but I still have to consider it." According to Al and the director Mr. Martin Brest, you have about a week to prepare, and if you perform too poorly by then, I can only say sorry."

"I will definitely work hard," Gabriel said, took the note, looked at the string of numbers and a few messages on it, and asked, "Mr. Williams, what is this?"

"uta, oh, it's the phone number of Mr. Kapoor Sheed, the CEO of United Elite Brokerage Company. You need to call him and ask him to arrange a temporary agent for you, help you find a dance teacher, and accept tango for a week Dance training. If after a week, your performance is approved by Al and Martin, then you need to join UTA, Miss Anwar, would you like to?"

Being able to stay in Hollywood is the dream of many foreign actors, Anwar nodded without hesitation: "Of course, I would."

Gabriel Anwar was purely an accident. Eric didn't have any plans for this girl of his own age, but the girl happened to be the tango girl in the original "Scent of a Woman". Anwar and Al Pasi Nuo's tango can be called the finishing touch in "Scent of a Woman".

Since the other party can appear here several years in advance, it can be regarded as a kind of fate, Eric will follow the trend, presumably the girl's performance will not let him down.

Sending Gabriel away, Eric let go of the next file and took a look: Brooke Shields

Heh, another Hollywood legendary beauty.

Compared with the innocence of Jennifer Connelly, the beauty of Brooke Shields who walked into the audition room later seemed a little more fierce to Eric. However, from the bright eyes of several staff members around him, Eric understood that the appearance of Brooke Shields, who is said to have the noble blood of the four countries, is obviously more in line with the aesthetics of Westerners, otherwise he would not be jokingly called "the first" Eight Wonders' too.
