Standing next to the luggage tray in the airport lobby, Renly picked up his luggage and greeted Felicity, Drake and the others, "Then I'll leave first. Eight o'clock tomorrow morning? In the studio? "

Drake nodded affirmatively, then pointed to his own throat, as if to say: I still have a lot to say, but I can't. This made Renly laugh, waved at everyone, and turned to leave.

After getting off the plane, Renly saw the text message sent by Andy, saying that someone had been sent to the airport to pick up the plane, and told him not to leave the airport with the crew, but to leave alone in a low-key manner, not to deliberately attract the attention of others.

Renly pressed the baseball cap on his head and walked through the crowd calmly, with a white T-shirt and dark blue ripped jeans, a pair of black Nike running shoes under his feet, and a sky blue denim jacket in his hand. He didn't hide himself deliberately, but he didn't hold his head high, as if he was just an ordinary college student.

In fact, Renly believes that the effects of Toronto and Telluride are still in the process of fermenting, and Los Angeles is the base camp of actors, people are more accustomed to actors who come and go, and there are not many people who can recognize him now. However, since Andy explained it, there must be a reason, so Renly simply blocked it.

Renly has limited experience with how to deal with the siege of enthusiastic fans, but he knows that if he wears a hat and sunglasses, or if he is too exaggerated to cover up and dress up, it will be easier to attract attention. Ordinary but with a low-key normal person attitude, people will not deliberately cast their eyes, the safest. After all, Da Yin is hidden in the city.

His eyes slowly searched among the crowd, looking for his pick-up object. But unexpectedly, the crowd did not see a sign with his name on it, but saw a lot of signs from hotels that came to pick up the tour group, and there were many Asian faces. Could it be that the pick-up person hasn't arrived at the airport yet

Renly stopped and took a serious look around, and then saw a somewhat familiar back, with a white and plump profile, like a perfectly fermented steamed bun, and a dark blue shirt that was slightly loose and could be He could vaguely see his chubby figure, and his rounded eyebrows made him look kind, but with a bookish air. The image of a nerd who was not social in high school but always greeted people with a smile naturally appeared in his mind. Grabs a sandwich and is struggling—

He tried to open the outer packaging of the sandwich, but the paper under the creaking nest kept falling, and then the mayonnaise sauce inside the sandwich began to slide down again, accidentally dipping it into his hand, which immediately made him extremely embarrassed. He started to try to pull out the napkin that was wrapped outside, and just as soon as he moved, the documents under his arm were scattered and precarious.

"Excuse me, do you need help?" Renly walked to the side and asked kindly.

"Oh no, I'm fine, I'm fine, I mean, thank you for your kindness, I..." he said frantically, his words very short but full of friendly thanks, scrambling to save everything, As a result... the paper fell from under his arm, and Renly took the opportunity to gather the dropped document into his palm, "Thank you, thank you. God, I'm so clumsy, oh my god!"

After all, Mayonnaise failed to resist the call of gravity and fell down. He let out a depressing wailing sound, but quickly regained his focus, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry to bother you. Just leave this to me, I can handle it. Yes. Don't worry, I'll wipe this place clean." He raised his head and stretched out his hands to take the documents, but found that Renly had put the documents in front of him, and then turned around. That side turned towards him.

"I think the name on it should be me."

The gentle voice sounded, Nathan Price's body stiffened for a moment, and then he quickly raised his head, the handsome face came into view, he let out a depressed low roar, it's over, this time Oops, screwed up now, "Mr. Hall, I..."

"If I remember correctly, this should be our second meeting, Nathan Press?" Renly pulled the napkin out of Nathan's hand and covered the mayonnaise in Nathan's hand. He gestured for the paper in his hand, looked left and right, and found that the passengers around didn't care about the little accidents here, and people still came and went, "So, you are working for Andy Rogers now? I remember, go above. Last time you got fired by Fisher, didn't you?"

Nathan, the former assistant of Fisher Morgan and the top broker of William Morris Agency, made a special trip to pick up the plane at Los Angeles International Airport a month and a half ago, and then took Renly to meet Fisher. However, Renly rejected Fisher, and Fisher also fired Nathan.

Unexpectedly, when we meet again, it is still the airport, and it is still the pick-up.

"Yes, yes." Nathan was speechless with excitement. He and Renly had only met once. Renly not only remembered their meeting, but also his name. For Nathan, , simply incredible! At first, it took Fisher ten days to remember his name.

"I mean, I got a job at Creative Artists Agency and was assigned to Mr. Rogers," Nathan explained in the most succinct words, "God, work, work, I have a special assignment today. I It's a special trip to pick up the plane!" Nathan reacted, and before he had time to raise his voice, he lowered it and said in a whisper.

The deliberate gesture turned out to be a little weird, which made Ren Li laugh dumbly, and raised the paper with the name written on it in his hand, indicating that he already knew.

Nathan smiled stupidly, then paused for about two seconds, "By the way, the car is parked in the parking lot next to it. There is no parking here, so we need to walk from here, it will be there in five minutes." Nathan looked around. Look, he was looking for Renly's luggage, but he immediately realized that he was still holding a sandwich in his hand.

Nathan quickly ran to the trash can next to him, threw the sandwich in, wiped his hands with a napkin, ran over again, and took Renly's luggage on his own initiative, "This way, please." The frizzy appearance seemed not too different from the first meeting, which really made Renly laugh.

"Sorry for my rudeness just now." Nathan knew that he was really unprofessional just now. Not only did he miss the pick-up time, but he almost missed the pick-up target.

In fact, it was his lunch, and he had some low blood sugar when he didn't eat breakfast, and he just wanted to take a quick bite before Renly showed up. But I didn't expect that I was accidentally bumped on the shoulder by a person. Although it was not a big problem, I was in a hurry.

However, Nathan did not explain, and Fisher hated others' explanations the most before, because any explanation was just an excuse for failure.

"Looks like I interrupted your lunch." Renly didn't jump to conclusions easily, the plane arrived at the airport ten minutes earlier than expected, and his luggage came out sooner than expected - Felicity And Drake and others are still waiting. Unexpected circumstances, which are unpredictable, "Where are we going now? If we have time, we can stop by the roadside and order some fries and burgers."

As a country on wheels, there are fast food restaurants in various cities and highways in the United States, driving by directly to complete the entire process of ordering, paying, and picking up meals.

Nathan turned his head quickly and glanced at Renly, then saw the slight smile on the corner of Renly's mouth, which reminded him of the last time they met. If it wasn't for Renly, he might have been left beside the highway, overwhelmed.

"West Hollywood." Nathan retracted his gaze, came to the parking lot, and found today's car, a black SUV, one of the most common and common vehicles in Los Angeles. You can feel Andy's caution.

Nathan was in a hurry and didn't know what to do first, Renly said with a smile, "You should put your luggage by the rear door, open the passenger's door for me first, and then take care of the luggage after I get in the car. problem, and finally back in the driver's seat. If this is a hotel, the driver has the driver's job, the doorman has the doorman's job, and the rest is your job."

Growing up, Renly had seen Philip do this kind of action countless times, and naturally he couldn't understand it any better.

"Oh, oh." Nathan hurriedly followed the instructions and started to get busy in an orderly manner.

Nathan's movements are careful and attentive. It can be seen that he is indeed inexperienced, and his frizzy movements seem to be shortly after graduating from college, although he looks like he is about thirty years old; however, after guidance, he adapts quickly.

This fits with Renly's first impressions of Nathan's first meeting. It is a pity that in Hollywood, the competition is really too fierce. A top agent like Fisher has no time to cultivate slowly. Once a mistake is made, he will be eliminated immediately.

In Hollywood in the 1970s, the William Morris Agency was the undisputed leader. They established the industry rules that before anyone officially transferred to become an agent, they had to work in the mail room for three to six months, or even For a year, the class system was very strict, which also made the brokers and assistants all skilled in the business.

However, it also hampers the development of young people, and the rigidity and contradictions brought about by class are inevitable. Five young people left the company because they were dissatisfied with the rigid system of William Morris, and jointly established their own brokerage company. It was the later Creative Artists Agency.

There are both gains and losses, winning a virtuous circle of rapid development, but also losing the patience to polish basic business capabilities.

Sitting in the driver's seat, Nathan checked Renly's seat belt before starting the engine, "We headed to West Hollywood, and Andy rented a room for you, so you can get in and out of the filming."

"Oh? Why don't you stay in the hotel?" Renly asked curiously, raising his eyebrows.
