Laila has been very uncomfortable with these since her previous life, and now Cate has said what she wants, and she can't be more satisfied with her choice.
Cate didn't seem to react at first, and sat blankly on the sofa. It was her agent who quickly stood up and shook hands with Laila, thanking her.
"Thank you, I believe you will not regret your choice."
"Yes, I will work hard." Cate finally reacted and quickly followed to thank you.
Laila smiled: "I'll wait and see. Please negotiate with Louise for the detailed contract."
"Thank you very much." After the agent thank her again and again, he grabbed Cate who was still shocked by the good news and walked out the door. .
After closing the office door, Laila could still vaguely hear their voice coming in.
"I was selected?"
"Yes, you were selected!"
"I want to be the heroine?"
"Yes! You are going to be the heroine of a movie!"
"Alas, it's nice to be young." Laila recalled the enthusiasm of her youth in her previous life, and couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth. A smile with a little vicissitudes of life appeared on the still somewhat immature face, which made her exude a peculiar atmosphere. The vocabulary used by the male protagonist to describe the female protagonist in some romantic novels is "like a mysterious treasure waiting for others to dig".
This is what Demi saw when she entered the office, making her subconsciously put her footsteps to the lightest level, even her breathing function was almost prohibited by herself.
She didn't know why she was so afraid of the new little boss, who was obviously a few years younger than her, but every time she saw it, she couldn't help but raise her heart high, for fear that she might not be doing well.
In fact, the little boss treated her very well. She did not maliciously bully her because of her relationship with the boss, nor did she deliberately find faults. In her opinion, she is much better than when Reynolds was the boss. At least now she can Rely on your own ability, not your chest, to earn a salary.
She couldn't figure it out, so she didn't think about it at all.
"Miss Moran, Miss Theron and her agent are outside, can you come in now?"
"Of course, please come in." Laila nodded and sat back behind her desk.
Soon, Charlize and a man in his 40s were brought in by Demi.
"It's you!" The young Charlize obviously didn't have Cate's calmness. When he saw the girl in front of him, he cried out in surprise. She would come in, naturally knowing who was sitting inside, but she never thought that the girl who had just invited herself to drink tea was the person she wanted to see.
What exactly is going on?
Her doubts seemed to be hidden in the eyes of the agent. Thinking of the back view he saw when he came over from the lounge just now, he already knew that there was no hope this time. He knows the potential of this glamorous girl in his hand, but it is a pity that no matter how much potential he has, he needs a room to climb. If even the audience can't see her appear, how can they know that such a person exists?
"Charlize, do you know Miss Moran?" The agent made no exaggeration and was appropriately surprised. Couldn't it be the time he didn't come that offended the director? That would be terrible!
Charlize himself was in a daze: "Yes, Mike, I just..."
Before she was finished, Laila smiled and added: "I just saw Miss Theron waiting outside, so I asked her to have a Tea with me. Please sit down." She greeted them to sit across from the office.
"It turned out to be so, that's really an honor for Charlize." Mike sat down with a smile.
Laila looked at him, and couldn't help feeling that Hollywood agents were not vegetarians. He had called out her identity and name from just now, and he knew that he had done some investigations on himself before. In the words of that ancient eastern country, it means knowing oneself and the enemy, and never end in battle.
"Mr. Mike knows me?"
Mike chuckled and said, "Of course, Miss Moran inherited this Phoenix company has attracted a lot of attention. We all believe that you can take the wisdom of Mr. Reynolds and Moran's family, to bring this company to an amazing peak."
This is a man who makes exaggerated flattery without being annoying. Laila smiled "You really can talk. Charlize is invited over this time because I find it difficult to choose between her and the other. But you should also know the answer, don't you?"
Mike did guess it. He already knew the answer from the atmosphere in the office and the feeling revealed by the back figure he had just seen, but he didn't want to see the answer.
"Miss Moran, I did guess some, but I hope you can give me an answer. Why do you think our Charlize is not suitable?"
In fact, he still made a subjective mistake. If you change to an adult, "normal" director, few agents will ask the director such a question.
why?
No director would be willing to accept the inquiry of a small agent, and would not give him any answer at all.
If you don't want it, you don't want it. Most of the time, only one "unsuitable" is enough to kill anyone, even big-name actors.
At this time, Charlize Theron's reputation is not qualified enough to ask a director why she was brushed off.
Mike will blurt out and ask, is it because Laila is so young that it is difficult to keep people in mind that she is the director of the film and the boss of the company.
After asking her, he regretted it. Even if his artist is rejected once, it does not mean that there will be no possibility of cooperation in the future. Getting along with the director is what you really should do.
"Sorry, I just asked casually. You don't need to answer."
Laila glanced at Charlize, saw her looking at her expression seriously, and couldn't help but smile "I like Miss Theron very much." She used it 'like' instead of 'love'.
"I appreciate Theron's seriousness, and I believe she will bring me a very good role. It's a pity that she is too beautiful, although I think it would be fun to see a beautiful face in the film screaming hoarse with fear Unfortunately, her beauty will also make people pay more attention to her appearance, rather than her performance."
Charlize's serious eyes darkened a bit when he heard this. It's not the first time she has heard similar words. If she hadn't known that the director was this girl, she would have thought that she had encountered men who had other attempts before.
Once her dream was to be a ballerina, but her knee was injured and she had to give up her wish to go to the catwalk and become a model. Later, someone told her that her beautiful appearance and excellent figure could make her a star, but because of this face, she could only participate in some vase roles.
"Can't I really use acting to prove my strength?"
