515 This is not what you should watch

There was no news after participating in the audition for "Buffy". According to the agent's arrangement, Charlize Theron stayed in a motel in West Hollywood. Although the accommodation fee was not expensive and only ten dollars a day could be supported, from January to now, in order to prepare for the audition for "Buffy", she has spent all her savings. If it weren't for the agent Michelle Simmons, she hinted that there was an opportunity that many actors would not have encountered in their entire lives. She had already bought a plane ticket and flew back to New York. Even in the past few days, she spent five hundred dollars lent to her by Michelle Simmons.

This took more than a week, because Michel Simmons repeatedly reminded her that she had hardly left the hotel within two kilometers. Fortunately, she set out from the hotel and walked north for about a kilometer, which was the famous Avenue of Stars. She would occasionally walk there, and like many pedestrians, she lowered her head to admire the stars inlaid on the road. Many people were curious or admiring, but she often secretly vowed that one day she would leave her own star here.

Eric Williams said she wanted to meet her, and this was her greatest opportunity.

During the audition for "Buffy", the guy's sudden laughter interrupted her performance, which made her hate her for a while, and then the hatred was severely extinguished by the agent. She used to know that he was a big figure in Hollywood, the hottest director, producer and owner of Firefly Film Company in recent years. Oh, he also owns a very atmospheric villa in Malibu. Because like Shells, many people call it "Shell Villa", and some people say it is called "Liberty City". But as she learned more about it these days, she knew what Eric Williams actually means in Hollywood. Now her hotel room still has the "Premiere" magazine that has been read many times.

He is the number one person on the Hollywood power list in 1992. He is the big boss of Firefly Pictures, which has annexed Disney. His personal property has exceeded 5 billion US dollars. His movies in just five years have exceeded 2 billion US dollars worldwide. More importantly, he personally made a large group of originally unknown Hollywood actors such as Julia Roberts, Nicholas Cage, Brigitte Fonda, Nicole Kidman, Pierce Brosnan famous.

Then, he said he would take time to meet him.

Although she didn't know how the agent had won this opportunity for herself, after understanding these things, Charlize Theron was excited to sleep for several days, whether it was day or night. She would involuntarily think about what to say and do during the meeting to attract his attention.

Just like this, one day passed, two days passed, a week passed, and even ten days were about to come. In recent days, she even began to worry about whether Eric Williams had forgotten about this. She was worried about gains and losses, and she mustered up the courage to call her agent for the first time. The reply she received was to wait patiently, but she still keenly heard the uncertainty in the agent's tone, and she felt even more worried and lost.

The owner of the motel is a pretty good-hearted white fat man. Seeing her a little girl staying in her store for so many days, she did nothing, but she was careful in spending money. She kindly said that she could introduce her to a job. Although she was very moved, she still had to refuse the other party.

A girl like her who has won the modeling competition cannot not attract the attention of some other people. A group of young men and women who are wandering in Hollywood also invited her to attend some messy parties, so she certainly did not dare to go there rashly. So when we met these days, we always heard some strange words from people, and some men's eyes were even more unconcealed and malicious.

In the end, due to some minor frictions, she couldn't help but show her fierce nature and had a big fight with the other party. Fortunately, the hotel owner intervened and did not start a fight. After the argument, she was scared and if she really started to fight. If she really started to fight, if she had a lottery on her body, especially her face, her chance would be completely ruined.

So the whole day afterwards, I felt even more confused and depressed. I pulled up the curtains and lay on the hard bed in the dark room for the whole day. I was still venting my lip gloss and painted it hard on the cover of the "Premiere" magazine. I was too lazy to eat supper and planned to be hungry on the previous page, which would save a few dollars.

When it was getting dusk, the hotel door was suddenly knocked. This was something that had never happened before. She asked vigilantly. The voice of the agent came out of the door, and some premonition came out of the heart. She jumped out of the bed in panic, ran over barefoot and opened the door.

"Charlie..." Michelle Simmons' face was obviously full of joy, but he had just called her name and looked up and down at the dim orange light in the corridor, his brows immediately frowned and scolded: "Look at what you look like now."

After touching the switch and turning on the light, he guiltily let the agent in the door. Charlize Theron explained: "Sorry, Michelle, I was just sleeping."

Michelle Simmons looked at the arrangement of the room and saw the "Premiere" magazine on the edge of the bed. The cover was painted in a mess. However, this time she didn't say anything else, just frowned and sighed, "Charlie, pack your stuff and let's leave now."

Charlize Theron pulled the straps of the light blue pajamas sliding down from his shoulders, subconsciously touched his messy hair, and his feet rubbed against each other on the cold floor a few times, and said nervously: "Now... are you going to see him?"

Michelle Simmons didn't answer, sniffed and asked, "Did you not take a shower for several days?"

Looking at her embarrassed look, Michelle Simmons had no choice but to say, "Forget it, pack up quickly, go to my place tonight, and meet at noon tomorrow."

After packing up his simple luggage and paying the bill, Charlize Theron got into a white car driven by the agent, walked through the streets of Los Angeles for a while, and entered a dense residential area at the foot of Beverly Hills. Michelle Simmons quickly drove the car into a mansion yard.

The two got out of the car. Charlize Theron saw a tall bald man coming out of the living room and greeted him with a smile on his face.

"Good evening, Kapoor," Michelle Simmons smiled and went to the first two.

"Good evening, Michelle, come here so soon." The bald man hugged Michelle Simmons before looking at Charlize Theron who was standing next to Michelle with a small suitcase.

With his eyes fixed on each other, Charlize Theron smiled at the bald man, and the other party nodded at her, but he soon turned to Michelle Simmons and said, "I'm so sorry, Michelle. I called in the afternoon. It turned out that Eric really forgot that the late stage of "Jurassic Park" has entered the final stage. He has to work at least twelve hours a day these days. I hope you can understand. He also asked me to say sorry to you in the afternoon."

"It's okay, only Mr. Williams can take time out," Michelle Simmons said without any mind.

Standing behind Michelle, Charlize Theron heard the bald man's words, but he curled his mouth disdainfully. She remembered that she had seen the guy having lunch leisurely with Nicole Kidman in the newspaper a few days ago. The two of them looked like they were in love with each other in the photo, but they didn't look a little busy.

Kapoor explained to Michel Simmons before turning to Charlize Theron: "You are Miss Theron. I am Kapoor Sid, I have read your information."

Charlize Theron then remembered that the other party was one of the big bosses of ICM, and quickly let go of the pull rod in his hand. He stepped forward and held the big hand that the other party reached out: "Hello, Mr. Sid, just call me Charlie."

Kapoor nodded, let go of Charlize's hand, stepped back and looked her up and down halfway, nodded gently, and said, "You should smile more, you will be more attractive when you smile."

Charlize Theron was a little surprised. When she participated in the modeling competition a few years ago, a judge with a high reputation in the fashion industry also said similar things to her. Many actresses look more charming when they restrain their expressions, but they often lose their temperament when they smile. But she just happened to be the opposite. When she was expressionless, she couldn't even say she was beautiful, but when she smiled, she immediately became charming and inverted. Charlize didn't expect that the middle-aged man in front of her would be able to discover these for the first time.

"I will, Mr. Sid," Charlize Theron said nodding.

The three of them entered the living room together. Kapoor asked the two of them to sit down and personally served the coffee. Then he said, "You can live here temporarily before the matter is done."

"Thank you, Kapoor," Michelle Simmons nodded, then his tone rose slightly, and said with some other meaning: "When I leave, I will return the key to Mary myself."

"Haha, you've been so long, you still have to tease me about this," Kapoor shook his head helplessly, took out a piece of information from a briefcase on the sofa and put it on the coffee table: "Also, this is what you want, just look at it yourself, try not to spread it out. You know, although this kind of thing is common in the industry, it's not good to be known by the parties involved."

"I understand," Michelle Simmons nodded and said, "What else?"

Kapoor took out another business card: "At this time, Assistant Eric's contact information, you can go directly to the Firefly Cinema in Preya Vista at noon tomorrow and contact him. Although the agreed time is twelve o'clock, it's better to go by earlier."

Michelle nodded again.

After explaining these things, Kapoor thought about it and said, "Last time I called Eric, he said that he had a good idea, which seemed to be an action movie with women as the main character. After the success of "The Smiths", everyone saw the potential of purely female action movies. ICM has been exposed to many similar projects recently, but there are no key projects from major film companies, but only some medium- and low-cost attempts from independent production companies. Since Eric wants to do this kind of theme, it will definitely not be a small fight," said Kapoor, who looked at Charlize, who was holding a coffee cup in his hand, and he said, "I saw the information that Charlie, you changed careers because of a knee injury. Can you still complete more intense fighting actions now?"

"Of course it's OK, Mr. Sid, I just considered changing jobs because of that injury, but that accident did not leave any sequelae."

"This is the best," Kapoor nodded, chatted with Michelle Simmons for a few more words, finished a cup of coffee, and stood up and said goodbye.

There were only two people left in the villa. Charlize remembered Kapoor's words just now, and then glanced at Michel beside him. Seeing the other party pick up the document left by Kapoor and read it, he straightened his waist without a trace, and his eyes quickly fell on the document. However, he just noticed the two eye-catching words of Eric Williams on the paper, and then heard Michel say, "This is not what you should read. Go and take a shower first. There is a bathroom upstairs, and we will talk later."

Charlize, who was caught on the spot, felt a fever in his cheeks. He quickly got up and picked up his small suitcase and walked towards the stairs.

After taking a shower, the two talked about something. In order to prevent themselves from being depressed the next day, Charlize Theron forced himself to sleep, although he still couldn't remember having some messy dreams.

Early the next morning, she was shouted by Michel Simmons. After the two had breakfast in a restaurant, Michelle took Charlize to a famous shopping street in Beverly Hills.

Charlize Theron looked at the familiar luxury brands on both sides of the road, looking at the agent with some anxiety.

Michelle Simmons, who used to be serious, made a rare joke: "You always have a good outfit. Today, this outfit is considered my investment in you. If you become a first-tier star, don't kick me off."

"How is that possible, I... won't," Charlize Theron said quickly.
