Received an inexplicable call from an inexplicable guy asking her if she was interested in being in a movie.
Simon Westeros.
Simon knows.
Westeros, it seems, seems to have heard it somewhere.
By the way, at Robert's party.
Robert Duvall, the best actor at the Oscars, although thirty years older than her, is her senior brother.
Many years ago, Robert Duvall also studied drama under the name of Sanford Messner, and she was lucky enough to be signed by WMA Vice President Jonathan Friedman, which is also the reason why Robert was connected.
Moving to Los Angeles, this very enthusiastic senior also invited her to a party at his house last weekend and introduced many Hollywood stars to her.
Occasionally, she seems to overheard someone talking about a guy named Westeros.
Weird surname.
So I wrote it down immediately.
But she didn't quite know what the other party was doing.
Maybe someone else.
Then, vigilantly ask how the other party knows their contact information.
Feeling her vigilance, the other end of the phone explained the reason.
He is also a client of Jonathan's, and the contact information is also obtained from the agent.
Not so easy to believe.
Calling the agent, Jonathan seemed a little surprised to hear her account, but he still confirmed the other party's statement, and finally suggested that she better take the other party's role, claiming that it would probably be a very wonderful experience for her.
Signed under the name of a Hollywood gold broker, the advantages are very obvious, but the disadvantages are also very prominent.
At least, as an agent with more than 30 clients, he has been very busy recently, and he doesn't have much time to worry about her at all.
Since she wants to make a career in Hollywood, she is also prepared to have enough patience.
During this time, I was even considering looking for a part-time job to earn some living expenses.
Or go back to New York to do a stage play for a while.
Never be idle.
Her family background is good, and she doesn't have to worry about making a living.
Most of the men and women who can wander in Hollywood for a long time have a good family background.
Those who lack the foundation of acting need to learn to act; they need to prepare carefully before each audition; to appear in a movie or TV series, they often have to attend various skill training courses...
All of these require a lot of time and money.
Therefore, although it cannot be said absolutely, it is indeed difficult for people from the bottom to achieve success in Hollywood. Often, they need to spend most of their energy just to make a living, and they do not have much free time to pursue their so-called dreams.
Many people can't keep up and even fall into another equally large 'movie' industry in Los Angeles.
coordinate.
San Fernando Valley.
Just like Stallone before fame.
It was said that I have secretly watched the video and brought it with me back then.
Shame.
A lifetime stain on 'Rocky'.
Since the agent confirmed that there is no problem, after a little consideration, she still agreed to meet with him.
Sunday at 2 pm.
Located next to Douglas Park in Midtown Santa Monica.
she drove over on time in her brand new Chrysler sedan.
This is too much.
I wanted to walk away, but after thinking about it, I made a phone call.
The old man with a heavy accent still answered the phone, murmured a bit, and then passed it to Simon.
The tone over there was very apologetic, saying that he had a flat tire and was repairing the ride, and then gave her an address again, and also said that he could invite her to dinner in the evening as an apology.
After thinking about the address, it doesn't seem too far away.
never mind.
For the sake of his sincerity.
After restarting the car, she wandered the streets of Santa Monica for a while and finally found a motel in the northern part of Santa Monica near the southern edge.
Parking the car in the open space in front of the hotel, pushing the door to get out of the car, she glanced around to find Simon.
A few cars were parked quietly nearby, none of them was being repaired. On the contrary, under the eaves of the hotel, there was an upside-down bicycle next to a laid-back old man in a floral shirt and beach pants.
The young man behind the bike.
Um.
It must be him.
So she walked over.
Seeing her appearance, the relaxed old man patted the young man's shoulder and reminded him.
The other party raised his head, saw her appear, and got up with a smile.
A good looking guy with a smile, tall, handsome, with a very healthy tan.
He must be an actor too.
I don't know why I want to make a movie again.
Anyway, boys like to toss.
"Hello, I'm Sandra Bullock." Seeing the boy reaching out, she shook hands with him, and added, "We just spoke on the phone."
"Simon Westeros," he also introduced himself, He said again: "I'm sorry, but when I was about to rush over, I found that the tire blew out, and I was worried that I would miss it if I went late, so I stayed at the hotel and waited for your call."
Boys tend to behave very loudly in front of beautiful girls.
it seems.
The same goes for girls in front of handsome boys.
Although she was a cheerleader in high school, she knew she wasn't too pretty.
So, at this moment, I feel very big.
"It's okay," she shook her head cheerfully, and she pointed to the other party's bicycle: "So, are you repairing it yourself?"
"It will take a while to repair," he explained. He made another gesture of invitation: "Let's go over there and talk."
she followed him to the eaves of the motel, and politely greeted the old man who brought a stool for her.
The other party nodded to her with a smile, but then he said something to Simon Westeros in a murmur, and glanced at her from time to time, with a winking look of disrespect.
It sounded grunting.
Um.
This should be in Spanish.
Growing up in Germany as a child, she can speak German in addition to English.
Not Spanish.
she could only sit beside her a little embarrassedly, and let the boy beside him chat with the old man.
Certainly not a good word.
However, although the skin is darker, it should be because of the sun. Judging from the shape of his face, he does not have Spanish ancestry but is more inclined to Germanic descent, but he can be so fluent in Spanish.
Also, repair the bicycle.
I don't know if the plumbing will be repaired.
I still remember when I was a child, when the water pipe burst at home, my father looked like he was in a hurry. He only knew how to call the workers, and he would not even turn off the water valve first.
Thinking like this, he sat on the stool and watched him fill the tires, rubbing the tires in his hands, turning them a little bit closer to his face.
The old man next to him murmured something again, which should be accusing him of the wrong method.
Then came his rebuttal.
she couldn't help being curious and asked, "What's this for?"
He didn't answer. He turned the tire in his hand for a moment, stopped, and said to her with a smile, "Come here. " Also put the tires near her face.
A small airstream hit her face.
Feeling inexplicably comfortable.
Before she could enjoy it enough, he quickly moved away and said, "That's where the air leaks."
He picked up a toothpick, carefully inserted it into the hole he just discovered and started rolling the tire again.
This time she understood, he should be checking for other leaks.
Looking at his serious work, she suddenly remembered what the agent said to her on the phone yesterday. Perhaps, this will be a very wonderful experience for her.
