At the end of the 20th century, air tickets were very cheap, and it only cost a few dozen dollars to go from Las Vegas to Los Angeles.
Fortunately, she only graduates in half a month, so Eve can still live in the school dormitory, giving her enough time to look for job opportunities and a new place to live.
The main campus of the University of Southern California is located in the center of downtown Los Angeles, with extremely convenient transportation. It only takes more than ten minutes to reach the famous Hollywood.
It can be said that from the moment Eve entered the School of Cinematic Arts of the University of Southern California four years ago, she had half a foot in the door of Hollywood.
The original owner had enough campus scenery in her memory, but when Eve actually dragged her suitcase into USC, she realized that the school looked so familiar!
I don't know how many movies and TV series have been filmed on this campus.
Anyway, she immediately saw the bench where Forrest Gump opened chocolates in "Forrest Gump".
The George Lucas Teaching Building, Steven Spielberg Film Score Recording Studio, Marcia Lucas Post-Production Building, and Johnny Carson Studio appeared in front of Eve one after another. These are all famous alumni. Buildings donated by us.
"What a pity, why do you have to graduate so soon!"
Eve has endless regrets in her heart. In her previous life, she was a monk halfway, and she envied those actors with professional backgrounds.
I actually graduated from the famous University of Southern California in this life. I don't know how many experiences I have missed from my seniors, seniors, and teachers.
Jessica held her shoulders and said with a smile: "I have been looking forward to graduation for a long time. The colorful world outside is waiting for us!"
During the graduation season, the campus is full of graduates having fun and celebrating.
American colleges and universities are very strict about entry and exit. Graduation is very difficult. Several students in Eve's class had their graduation delayed due to insufficient credits.
Perhaps because she was used to it in the country, Eve was always not used to seeing mixed-gender dormitories.
Especially those students wearing cool clothes rushing to each other's door are even more strange.
She just used the key to open the dormitory door, and Jessica lay directly on the single bed on the left, saying in big words, "I'm too tired, I don't want to move at all now."
This is a traditional double room dormitory with two single beds against the wall. There is a table filled with books and cosmetics by the window. The desk and dressing table are integrated into one. The only problem is that there is no separate bathroom and toilet. .
Clothes, pants and shoes were piled up in a mess, and the small chair had turned into a mountain.
It was already very good for the dormitory in 1999 to have this condition.
Just as Eve was packing her suitcase, her retro Motorola phone suddenly rang. It was a call from a completely unfamiliar number.
She picked up the phone, walked to the window, and asked, "Hello?" while basking in the sun.
A hoarse middle-aged male voice came over the phone, "Are you Eve Campbell?"
"Yes, I am. Who are you?"
"Robert Owen, a partner of CAA. Mr. Evan Stoff recommended you to me. He thinks you are an actor with great potential. But I have some doubts. Girl, are you really suitable for Hollywood?"
After hearing the voice on the other end of the phone, Eve couldn't help laughing.
Evan's efficiency is indeed very high, and he found himself an agent so quickly.
If you are an outsider, you will definitely be surprised to hear Robert Owen say that he is an agent of CAA, and you will think of him as a senior executive of the agency.
But Eve has been closely related to the entertainment industry in her past and present lives, and she knows the meaning of the word partner very well.
In CAA, even newcomers who send and receive express delivery are called partners!
Evan Stoff is also a partner, but he is the producer of "The Matrix" and "The Devil's Advocate."
The reason why Keanu Reeves can play these roles has a lot to do with the packaging strategy implemented by Evan.
Robert Owen's status in CAA is obviously far inferior to Evan.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have been assigned to contact Eve and sign a contract.
"Mr. Owen, no one knows the answer to your question. Whether it is suitable for Hollywood or not, we can't say, we will only know after going in." Eve said in a pretentious manner: "I think we should trust Mr. Owen's judgment, right? ?"
The other party muttered on the phone: "Where are you now? It would be best for us to meet and then talk about signing the contract. How about that?"
Eve also had this intention. Signing the contract was a two-way choice. She also had to inquire about Robert Owen and could not blindly believe him.
"I'm in the dormitory of USC. Where can we meet?"
She deliberately revealed her location and school, and inadvertently revealed her background, letting Robert know that she was by no means a little girl on the street who knew nothing and only dreamed of Hollywood Vanity Fair.
As expected, Robert became much more cautious after hearing about the University of Southern California. He had met so many alumni of the University of Southern California, and his sense of being underestimated suddenly disappeared:
"It's in the cafe in your school. I happened to be there last time. Do you know cafe84?"
"I know, let's meet in half an hour."
"Okay, see you then."
After saying that, the two hung up the phone with each other without any unnecessary nonsense.
Cafe in the United States actually means coffee shop or small restaurant. Cafe84 is one of the three cafes closest to the dormitory. The most common ones are simple American burgers, French fries, pizza and pasta, which are very popular among students.
Jessica, who was lying silently on the bed, suddenly sat up and asked curiously: "Did you date someone? Is it the person who married you?"
She has always been curious about the identity of the bearded man, but she has never been able to find out.
Eve is very tight-lipped. If she doesn't want to talk about anything, it will be useless for others to ask her.
"NoꔷA CAA agent introduced by a friend, let's go have an interview."
Jessica's eyes widened and she was startled: "You can actually sign CAA? Aren't you an intern director assistant?"
"It used to be, but now I want to be an actor and act in movies."
The original owner did have several offers, either as an internship director assistant or an internship editor, and he submitted his resume himself.
It's just that after Eve came, she didn't plan to accept any of these offers. She just wanted to be an actress!
Jessica stood up happily, shook Eve's shoulders, and said exaggeratedly: "I know it, I know it! You are so beautiful, even more beautiful than the actors in the movie, you should go to Hollywood! Girl, you must be able to If you become popular, you are destined to be a star!"
"I hope so. Do you need me to bring back some food?"
"Give me a donut."
Eve looked at the slender Jessica. When she was young, she could consume these high-calorie and high-sugar foods.
But as you age, you may be prone to fat accumulation.
"Are you sure? Don't you want to lose weight?"
"After I go to Fox TV, I will have many opportunities to lose weight. Now I miss donuts very much. When I leave school, where can I find such delicious and cheap donuts!"
Jessica is nothing now. She has signed a work contract with Fox Television and will become a news director.
Eve couldn't help but laugh. She walked to the mirror and looked at her current appearance.
A pair of tight jeans perfectly outlines the figure, and the right makeup shows youthful vitality. If I have to say something wrong, it would be the instant noodles.
If time were not limited, she would have permed her hair right now.
Fortunately, my appearance is good enough, otherwise I really wouldn't be able to hold it.
The femininity in the mirror is somewhere between youthful vitality and sex appeal.
At first glance, she looks like a typical American sweetheart, but in fact she is full of edge, and the mixture is particularly charming!
After guessing that the time was almost up, Eve carried her bag and walked towards the door. The funny Jessica behind her cheered her on: "Get him! Get him!"
Those who didn't know thought Eve was going to be single.
The distance from the dormitory to cafe84 was only 300 meters. After Eve walked in, she ordered herself a cup of black coffee without sugar.
European and American women's physiques make it easy to gain weight. If you don't want to become a "heavyweight" actress, you need to pay attention now.
Within a few minutes, a middle-aged man in a suit walked in panting.
Wearing suits in the summer, apart from real estate agents, there are probably only brokers left, which is really conspicuous.
"Hi, I'm Eve Campbell, nice to meet you."
Robert Owen looked at the girl in front of him and couldn't help but his eyes lit up. It was really a good condition!
Many girls are beautiful, but they don't have much soul. They cannot be photographed and can only shoot swimsuit blockbusters.
But the girl in front of me is about 5.6 feet tall, with a healthy and well-proportioned figure, and a three-dimensional face. It looks perfect no matter what angle you look at it from, especially those eyes that are so spiritual.
The resentment towards Evan Stov in his heart was basically dispelled. I thought I was assigned a related account, but I didn't expect it to be a potential stock. What a surprise!
"Ms. Campbell, are you a student at the University of Southern California?"
"I am a senior student in the Directing Department of the School of Cinematic Arts and will graduate this year. But I really like acting, especially the big screen, so I want to find a suitable agent."
Eve is not an ordinary college student. In her previous life, she was able to get roles in the mixed entertainment industry, and her ability to observe people's emotions was very strong.
The middle-aged white agent opposite, with an M-shaped hairline, looked satisfied.
But the slightly wrinkled shirt and the not-so-famous watch show that his status in CAA may not be high.
Really high-status agents will not sign new players. Basically, they are responsible for only one or two superstars.
"You are very beautiful, but being an actor is not enough. Do you have any acting experience? Any form will count."
Eve thought about it seriously, "Does participating in drama performances in high school count?"
The original owner was able to defeat thousands of applicants for the directing department at the University of Southern California despite gender discrimination. He was truly talented.
She used to be the director and star of a high school drama club. Her plays were famous locally and even won awards in the United States. It was precisely with this experience that I was able to enter the School of Cinematic Arts at the University of Southern California for further study.
