An individual actor cannot match the resources controlled by a huge company, especially an established company like William Morris.
Thomas followed the procedures to enter the company's internal system and sent out multiple applications for assistance. In just two days, he received a lot of relevant information.
Especially Susan Levine. This is a rapidly rising female producer, and her thirty-year-old age means she has unlimited possibilities for the future.
Susan Levin's resume, work partners, friends in life, major actors and actresses she has worked with in the past, and William Morris all have detailed statistics.
The day before Christmas, Martin and several tenants were helping Antonio decorate the venue for the Christmas Eve party on the roof of the apartment building when they received a call from Thomas.
"You come to the company and we'll talk in detail."
"You're not suitable there." After getting along with Thomas, Martin felt it was time to wave the whip and make Donkey Lamo more active: "Man, it's not me who said that, the hall is so messy and you don't have a separate office, how can you talk about things with peace of mind? ?" Thomas was critically hit and was silent for a full 20 seconds before he managed to put his broken heart back together. He casually taped it with tape and said, "You name a place and I'll go there." He thought of Martin's strong body and himself With a slight baldness but a handsome face, he quickly added: "The hotel can't do it." Martin stood on the edge of the roof, holding on to the guardrail, and said: "Tiago's Coffee House in North Hollywood, I'll treat you to a cup of coffee." Thomas agreed. .
Martin put away his cell phone and found the ball-like landlord: "Antonio, I have work to discuss, so I can't help."
"Remember to come back to the party in the evening. The ticket is for drinks or food." Antonio is a happy single fat man, and he even held a small party for the tenants on Christmas Eve.
He asked Martin: "Have you found a job as an actor?" Martin said vaguely: "I'm working on it, I can't say whether it will work out." Antonio turned around in his pocket, found a business card from his business card holder, and handed it to Martin: "I have There are many male actor tenants, and most of them are used." Martin thought that the landlord was eager to help and had special connections, so he took it and looked down at the business card of a private doctor.
Antonio said: "He is best at anorectal surgery, so he was nicknamed Hyena." Martin subconsciously lifted his coat, trying to be a civilized person, but his business card as a civilized person fell in Atlanta.
Antonio was completely out of good intentions: "He's really nice." Martin put away the business card and waved his hand: "I will bring wine in the evening." He walked downstairs to the coffee shop and waited for twenty minutes. Thomas was carrying his laptop , came in holding the document bag.
Martin ordered coffee and the two quickly got into work. Thomas took out Susan Levin's information and gave it to Martin: "The company has concluded that she is a Jew who graduated from the University of Southern California. She will have an advantage if she is an alumnus of the University of Southern California and a Jew." Martin was cautious in his words and deeds: "I I'm not Jewish, I didn't finish high school." He quickly looked through Susan Levin's information, and in the personal life column, it was clearly written that Susan Levin's current boyfriend is Robert Downey Jr., who was just released from prison last year.
Big piece of shit! Martin went back to look at the photo and finally remembered that this was Robert Downey Jr.'s wife.
He asked: "How did Downey catch her?"
"I'm not particularly sure about the specifics." Thomas recalled carefully: "I remember there were rumors in the circle that she was moved by Downey's return as a prodigal son after experiencing the ups and downs of life." Martin told the truth: "Downey's experience is called Taste the ups and downs of life? Didn’t I come from a pile of shit?" Thomas said: "Originally, the second generation of rich and famous people do those bad things to experience the hardship of life. If their life is a little normal, they will become a prodigal son worth a thousand dollars. Look back and don't be mentally unbalanced. When you become famous and popular, your experience in the shit pile will naturally become an inspirational legend and can be sold for money." This was so reasonable that Martin couldn't refute it and continued to look through the information.
Susan Levin has not been a powerful producer for a long time. She has only three regular film works, "Ghost Ship", "Ghost Man" and "The Cradle of Death".
She personally selected three main male actors, Desmond Harington, Robert Downey Jr. and Tom Arnold.
Martin asked for information on these three people again. Thomas took it out and gave it to him and said: "A young man, a middle-aged man, an old man. According to this rule, she should choose a child or a dead person this time." Martin asked: "Are there any others?" Thomas hit He yawned and rubbed his dark circles: "The company provides the information, and we analyze it ourselves." He drank coffee to refresh himself: "I worked overtime for three days in a row, and my head is a mess. Don't ask me." Among the people and information, he found the most special place. Martin looked through it and said: "So this is it, three prodigal sons came back." Thomas asked: "The other two have also been in prison? You get yourself in first." Prison?" Martin circled the three pieces of information with a pen, pushed it to Thomas, and said: "Harrington was a troublesome guy when he was a teenager. He was forced to drop out of school because of fights. He worked as a bartender for a while and joined a street gang. , suddenly realized that he became an actor. Tom Arnold was in a similar situation. He worked as a security guard in an underground bar and sold drugs and drugs..." Thomas grasped the key point: "The difference between Downey and them is that he has a good background and family." Martin Looking back at Susan's resume: "She transferred to middle school twice. In order to enter the University of Southern California, her father, an alumnus, donated a large sum of money." Thomas responded quickly: "Susan transferred from Southern California with very excellent results. Graduated from college and was recommended by many well-known professors." This is right, Martin said: "Personal experience creates preferences, Thomas, how much impact does preference have on a producer's professionalism?" Thomas was quite cautious, thinking carefully about the memories. Fan asked: "If the basic conditions are not much different, would you choose someone you like or someone you hate?" He reminded: "It's best to confirm. If you make a mistake, it will be very troublesome." Martin took Haring Dayton's information: "This man grew up in Savannah, Georgia. I'll find a way to contact him." He wanted to move forward, but he could only let Thomas bear the burden: "I'll leave all other things to you on the crew side." Thomas He added: "Zomi Sirla is a new director. He has only shot music videos and commercials before, and he has no say in the main roles." Martin said: "Man, let's get moving, time waits for no one." Thomas nodded. , picked up his briefcase, left the cafe, and headed to Warner Bros. Studios. At noon, he made an appointment with Mary Gale, who might be the casting director, for dinner.
Martin slowly drank a cup of coffee, continued to read Harrington's information, then took out his mobile phone and dialed Robert Patrick's personal number.
The two parties made an appointment, and Martin came to visit after Christmas. At noon, Martin went to Sherman Oaks to have lunch with Louise, and they talked specifically about Susan Levin.
"We are all rich girls, and it is normal for us to be lawless during the rebellious period." Louise understands more or less: "Some just sink, and some return to the right path. I heard Susan mention that she was more violent during that time, but fortunately I woke up when I was in college." Martin said his idea: "I plan to think of something in this regard." Louise said: "It's a very targeted design, you can try it." She turned to ask: " I have to go home tonight, how did you spend Christmas Eve?" Martin said: "The landlord threw a simple party." Louise had no similar experience: "The landlord is nice?" Martin did not make a direct judgment: "Antonio gave I have a business card from a private doctor who specializes in anorectal surgery." How could anyone from Hollywood not understand the meaning? Louise couldn't help laughing, and after laughing she said deliberately: "I think you need ." She was very curious: "Should I go to your apartment tomorrow? I have never lived in a small apartment like that." Of course Martin would not refuse: "I'm waiting for you at any time."... When it gets dark, North Hollywood The lights on the roof of the apartment were turned on, the Christmas tree was colorful, Christmas-flavored music was playing, and Mariah Carey once again started copyright harvesting mode.
Many single tenants brought wine or desserts and came to the rooftop to join the party. Martin brought several bottles of wine.
Antonio changed into red clothes and stood under the Christmas tree like a fatter version of Santa Claus. When he saw Martin, he asked, "Have you seen a doctor? He has good medical skills, right?" Martin pushed back his clothes and said, "You should be glad that this is not Georgia."
"Hi, classmate, it turns out you live here!" A familiar voice sounded, and Mene, whose skin was about to turn white, appeared in front of Martin. He put the donuts and strawberry pie he had brought on the long table and said to the landlord: " Antonio, do you mind if I come over to join in the fun?" Antonio's standard is very simple: "If you don't live here, but you have brought something, you can participate." Mene, who is a local, took a glass of wine, drank a glass with Martin, and asked : "Classmate, let me tell you good news. I was hired last night... No, I was hired by a casting director in her fifties last night. She promised to give me a role with dialogues in the tens of millions of dollars. A small supporting role." Martin brought the wine, poured it into their glasses, and said, "It's really good news, it's worth having another drink." Mene looked very generous: "She will come to me tomorrow night and ask me to find another one. , two to one. Classmate, we get along well, so I told you this path. If the path you are looking for doesn’t work, I suggest you think about it." Martin was quite polite: "Thank you for your suggestion, but I I have found other opportunities." He clinked glasses with Mene and said, "I wish us all success." Mene said, "When I become famous, I will find twenty young and beautiful girls to have a party." For the sake of his future, he always fights with In his forties or even fifties, his interest is rapidly fading, and if he keeps doing it for another two years, he might end it early.
Martin left the party early, waited until the time was almost up, and made a series of phone calls. Kelly, Elena, Robert, Jerome and Lily all received the Christmas gifts that were mailed in advance.
