"Jonas, thank you for your help."

Renly closed the passenger's door, and the van full of loads of goods staggered off the street, turned around, and Nathan rubbed his hands together with a reserved expression on his face, standing two steps away. Feeling a little overwhelmed in the distance, Renly smiled, "Cross the street next to you, the subway station is at the next intersection, or do you need me to call a taxi for you?"

"No, no." Nathan shook his head again and again, but then felt inappropriate, "I mean, I can go back by myself, I don't need to bother you." After a moment's hesitation, "I… um, the subway will be fine, Subway is great!”

In fact, Nathan didn't know where he could go back, because he followed Fisher to New York on a business trip. Now that he was fired, he suddenly became at a loss. But Nathan also knew he couldn't bother Renly any more. The two of them had been abandoned on the highway just now, and they couldn't go to the village or the store. If Renly hadn't stopped a truck, he would have been traveling long distances on the road at this time, and he wouldn't be able to get to the city when it was dark.

"Thank you, I haven't thanked you for your help just now." Nathan realized this and thanked him quickly, but then he noticed Renly's gaze was over his shoulder and cast back. , he turned his head and looked over involuntarily, and then saw a middle-aged man in a suit and tie.

The body is slightly fat, and the round beer belly and the kind smile give people a sense of intimacy. At this time, it is obviously the midsummer of August, and the strict suit makes people sweat when they look at it. He took it out of his pocket. He wiped the sweat from his forehead with a blue and white handkerchief, noticed Renly's gaze, and waved his hand kindly.

"The way he appears every time is always surprising. This time it's a truck. I don't know what it will be next time?" The chubby man said with a smile and walked over slowly.

Renly chuckled lightly, "White Horse, maybe."

Naturally, what White Horse was alluding to was Prince Charming, and Nathan couldn't help laughing with such humor, but he immediately realized his rudeness—he and Renly weren't friends.

Sure enough, the man turned his attention and asked, "This is..."

"Nathan, Andy." Renly introduced. "Andy, Nathan."

Standing in front of him is Andy Rogers. Just like last time, he was waiting at the door of Renly's apartment again. However, today's situation is obviously a bit special. I don't know how long Andy has been waiting here. Obviously, he Also looked into Renly's flight information. This made Renly really uncomfortable. He thought his personal information was safe, but now, how many people can investigate his information

"You're here to wait for me?" Renly took the initiative to raise his doubts.

Seemingly aware of Renly's vigilance, Andy explained with a smile, "I've been in New York for two weeks, and I just saw a photo of you and the flight attendant on Facebook, that's how I know you're back in New York, so, I Thinking of coming over and trying my luck, maybe I can talk to you before you go to sleep and get jet lag."

Confident yet gentle, all the edge is hidden in the depths of the words. The same top brokers, Andy and Fisher have completely different styles. Of course, it is also possible that Renly's own preconceived notions have not yet discovered the other side of Andy.

"Renly, then I'll leave first." Taking advantage of the break in the conversation, Nathan said politely, "Thank you very much for today." Renly nodded with a smile, and then Nathan turned towards the direction Renly was pointing at. The direction of the subway slowly took a step, but the shoulders were heavy and could not be lifted.

After taking two steps, Nathan raised his head blankly and looked around, sighing deeply. He had been in the job for less than two weeks before Fisher fired him. Although he had heard about it before he joined the job, Fisher is becoming more and more critical now, and the speed of changing assistants is even faster than that of bed/partners. His last term only lasted for half a month; but he did not expect that he insisted The time is even shorter than its predecessor.

Renly noticed Nathan's dazedness. Although it wasn't very pleasant to get along with Fisher today, Nathan was angered. Nathan lost his job is not necessarily because of him, but at least part of it, "If you're not sure. If so, you can go back to the hotel to pick up your luggage, then find a hotel to stay in first, or just fly back to Los Angeles.”

Biquge

Nathan heard the voice behind him, and then he reacted. He turned around and gave Renly a jerky smile, "That's a good idea." After taking two steps, he turned around again and shouted, "Thank you. , Fisher is indeed an asshole."

Renly couldn't help laughing, and when he looked back, he saw Andy's puzzled look, "Fisher-Morgan just came to find me, that's his assistant."

After a few simple explanations, Andy understood. However, Andy did not inquire about the conversation between Renly and Fisher, but changed the subject, "I heard that you just came back from Europe, how is it, how is the harvest this time?"

"It took eight days to shoot a small-budget independent film, and the Spanish crew." Renly thought about it seriously and came to a conclusion, "The harvest is far greater than expected."

Andy laughed, and those small eyes narrowed into a slit. "It seems that you are very satisfied with this acting challenge. It should be a difficult role. I'm already a little curious."

"The director has already signed up for the Toronto Film Festival, and is currently in the review stage. Whether he can be shortlisted or not is still waiting for notification." Renly is very happy to share about "Buried Alive", which is not only his first work on the big screen. Simple, it was the first time he really stepped out of his comfort zone and challenged new possibilities.

"Toronto? Then there will be news this weekend at the latest, and the shortlist will be announced next week." The awards season is approaching, and Andy is naturally familiar, "The Venice list was just announced last weekend, it seems that you missed it. It's time to sign up in Venice."

To participate in the film festival, you must register in advance, then submit the finished film, and the organizing committee will review it. Unless it is a long-established director like Martin Scorsese, the film festival will give the green light. If you miss the registration, you will miss it.

Renly nodded in affirmation, and said, not without a hint of embarrassment, "If it was Venice, I wouldn't come back, and I would just go to Italy to stay. Tuscany has been a beautiful sight these days."

"Missed Venice, and Amy. Trust me, you won't want to miss Amy." Andy said with a smile. Although he had long been optimistic about Renly's future and believed in Renly's potential, the Emmy nomination was really a surprise.

This year, the competition in the miniseries and TV and film departments of the Emmy Awards is extremely fierce. It can be said that the bayonet has become popular. "The Pacific War" continued the situation of "Band of Brothers", which has advantages in technology and overall, but lacks competition in the acting department. . Now that Renly can win the nomination on behalf of the crew, it's not just him, but everyone in the industry, including HBO, feels a huge surprise.

Renly also smiled, "Of course, I don't want to miss it. Who knows, if I miss this time, when will the next time be."

"In my opinion, the next time does have to wait for a while." Andy's answer was somewhat unexpected, but then the conversation changed, he continued, "Because I want to invite you to appear in a TV series next, it may be more difficult. "The big screen is your sky."

Such an interpretation, cunning and clever, Renly couldn't help but smile.

"Well, can we find a place to sit down?" Andy looked back and forth, then looked at the suitcase in Renly's hand, "I know you need to adjust for the jet lag now, and long-haul flights are very tiring; I am now I’m also sweating constantly, and I need to find an air-conditioned place to sit down to prevent myself from being more embarrassed.”

Andy obviously had something to say, how could Renly not hear it, "I thought you were in a hurry today, and this conversation could be over in ten minutes." It was the same twice before.

"Haha, that won't work, today is different." Andy took out his handkerchief again and wiped the sweat from his forehead, "For the sake of my potential superstar in the next twenty years, I can't deal with it carelessly." Reasonably, Andy smiled happily and looked at Renly seriously, "I hope to get your brokerage contract, become your agent in Hollywood, and plan your next acting career for you. I don't know about you. Are you interested?"

This is Andy's third visit, step by step, not in a hurry, but always sincere, calm and confident.

"Superstar? This is not a height that anyone can reach." Renly shook his head with a chuckle, as if he had heard a joke.

Andy was not flustered, nodded affirmatively, "It is true. In fact, it is really difficult to become a superstar in Hollywood, maybe only one out of ten thousand people, outstanding strength, suitable works, The right role, great timing, and a little bit of luck are all indispensable." Andy admitted frankly, "However, in my opinion, you have the conditions for everything, and I also have the conditions for everything. , after the cooperation, let's see how lucky we are."

This explanation is really ingenious.

Ren Li laughed happily, looking at Andy's old fox-like smile, Ren Li originally had some questions he wanted to ask, but after thinking about it, he looked at the sincerity of the cottage, had a proper conversation, and discussed in depth... An Di showed all his requirements for an agent, what's more, the innovative artist agency standing behind Andy is still the industry leader.

So, "Why not? Then let's see how it goes." It was settled, and Renly's agent was finally settled, and Andy Rogers managed to stand out and take Renly's deal.

Andy nodded lightly, as if he was not surprised by the result at all, without too much emotion, he just pointed to the apartment building behind him calmly, "After we signed the cooperation agreement, the first thing is Get you out of this dangerous building." Renly burst into laughter.

"At that moment, my first thought was actually to strangle his neck, and the damn bastard finally nodded. But at the same time, I also knew that I had made an important decision that changed the trajectory of my career, and My beating heart betrayed my excitement," Andy told The Hollywood Reporter years later.
