Hardy Empire 1945

Wushan goddess, Yunyu Gaotang.

Broken clothes.

Carnival.

Hardy and Marisa have a strange relationship.

lovers?

no.

Getting on the boat doesn't mean love. From the beginning, they came to Marisa's house just to enjoy that feeling.

Best friend?

cough cough,

Stop messing with the word.

They should be better friends now.

The kind that fit nicely on a boat.

early morning.

Hardy got up, and Marisa was wearing a camisole to help him get his clothes. Hardy touched Marisa and said with a smile, I'm going to see Mr. Siegel today, to be an assistant in his film company, and I'll have the opportunity in the future. , to help you see if there are any acting roles.

Marissa was surprised.

Really, that's great. He hugged Hardy and kissed him hard.

After Hardy left after getting dressed, Marissa thought of being able to act in movies in the future, with excitement on her face.

But suddenly remembered another thing, the joy disappeared into a sad look.

She thought about it.

I dug out a paper passbook from the closet.

There is a string of numbers on it.

8500 yuan.

This money was accumulated by her with great difficulty.

The nightclub earns a lot of money, but her expenses are also large, especially for performance and vocal lessons, sometimes tens of dollars per lesson.

Get dressed and put on your bag.

Tuck the passbook into the bag.

When Marisa went out, a taxi happened to pass by, she raised her hand and stopped her to sit in.

Where are you going, miss?

79 Wutong Street. Marissa reported an address.

......

There is a sign at the entrance of some dilapidated second-story buildings, Persian Cat Performing Arts Model Agency.

Standing at the door, Marissa hesitated, or she was somewhat resisted and afraid, because there were people she hated and hated.

But for the future she had to come.

Go up to the second floor,

Marissa took a deep breath and knocked on the office door.

Dangdang.

Come in.

Marissa heard the familiar and disgusting voice again, and she gritted her teeth and pushed the door in.

There was a man in his thirties sitting in the room, with a thin body, but his eyes were shrewd and philistine.

There was a thick stack of documents on the table, and it was obvious that the man was sorting out the information.

When he looked up and saw Marisa who came in, the man's eyes lit up, Whoa, whoa, whoa, it's the lovely Miss Marisa.

The man closed the document, stood up, walked to Marissa, and circled around her, Marissa, I found that you are more beautiful, as long as you are obedient, I promise to make you a Hollywood star.

As he spoke, he ruffled Marisa's dark blonde hair.

Marissa shook her head in annoyance and pulled her hair out of the man's hand. She felt that the man touching her made her sick.

Mr. Sanders, I'm here to talk to you about something. Marissa said sternly.

The man stepped back indifferently, came to the table, picked up a cigarette and lit one, Tell me, have something to talk to me about.

I want to get my brokerage contract back.

The man smiled lightly and spread his hands elegantly, No problem, hehe, as long as you can afford the liquidated damages, the contract can be given to you at any time.

Marissa took out the passbook from her bag, opened it and put it on the table, The brokerage contract signed at the beginning, the liquidated damages is 10,000 US dollars, I have 8,500 US dollars here, and I will collect the remaining 1,500 dollars for you as soon as possible.

When Marissa came to Los Angeles to chase her dreams, she didn't know anything at the time. She was just a country girl, this guy named Brad Sanders,

Opened a small brokerage company to look for young men and women who don't understand anything. They have dreams and enthusiasm and are most likely to be fooled.

Brad Sanders stumbled across Marissa, thinking that this girl is very beautiful, and then used his professional skills to fool the pure Marisa.

I will send you to the training school first.

You can start with a model.

I know a lot of film company bosses and big directors, and I can recommend you to make a movie when the time comes.

You'll be famous and become a big Hollywood star.

You'll make a lot of money.

And get into high society.

One trick,

Marisa stumbled and signed a brokerage contract with him. The term of the contract was 10 years.

Marisa also raised objections to this split at the time. Sanders said to her with a smile, You are still a newcomer, and you can't do anything. I need to invest in you. When you achieve success and become a star, this contract It will naturally be voided, and a new contract that suits your status will be signed at that time, don't worry about those babies.

that's it,

Marissa joined the agency.

But things were not at all what Marisa imagined. At first, she was indeed sent to training, took a week's class in a modeling agency, and then was pulled to perform.

Lingerie show.

A group of girls walked up and down the stage, and under the stage was a group of old men with saliva. Marisa questioned, what kind of model performance is this, it is clearly a ****.

Sanders told her that this is Hollywood, there is never a shortage of beautiful girls, and every girl who wants to be successful has to pay a price.

What price?

Sanders smiled, Those people in the audience, some of them are big names, there is a director who thinks you are good, and wants to ask you to audition at his house tonight. If you pass, you can get a role.

In this way, Marisa went to the hotel in a daze, and waited and waited for the next day, but there was no news.

Later, she heard some rumors among the girls who were with her. Many of the so-called directors introduced by Sanders were not at all. One girl had seen dozens of such directors, and in the end, she had not even won a role.

Marissa wasn't stupid either, she knew that these girls were treated as daughters by that goddamn Sanders, and giving them to men was to make this part of the money.

Marissa was very angry and ran to Sanders' office to question her, saying she would leave if she lied to her.

At this time, Sanders tore off the mask of hypocrisy, revealing a hideous face.

Your contract is in my hands. If you are not obedient, you cannot engage in any activities related to performing arts and singing performances in the past ten years, otherwise it will be a breach of contract, and I will send you to court.

Ten years, when you were over thirty years old, hehe, you think there are several thirty-year-old women in Hollywood who can become famous.

Follow me, I will arrange opportunities for you, as long as you are willing to work hard, there will be a day of success, otherwise you will never want to be a star, you can also go back to your country and find a vulgar man to marry, every time Cooking, raising pigs, and having babies every day, hahaha, don’t you think it’s scary to think that in ten years, you will become a bloated aunt.”

Be obedient and you will have the opportunity to become a big star. If you are not obedient, you will have nothing.

Terrified, Marissa staggered out of Sanders' office.

The following days continued to participate in modeling shows.

After a period of time.

That day, Sanders called Marisa again and told her that another director was looking for her for an interview. Marisa endured disgust and followed the address. When the door opened, she saw a fat old man in his sixties. She was horrified .

Run away.

She didn't dare to go back to the agency, but went to a friend's house, and her friend came to Los Angeles with her. Because of her average appearance and no other thoughts, she chose to work in a restaurant, and Marisa lived there for a while. time.

Later, I couldn't live anymore, so I found a job in a nightclub. Because of her beautiful appearance, the person in charge of the nightclub asked her if she would like to be a nightclub princess. She would earn much more money than a waiter. Marisa agreed to make a living.

But she has always had a dream.

So after earning money, she went to the teacher to learn acting and singing.

She had also approached Sanders halfway through and wanted to get her contract back, but Sanders naturally refused, telling her that if she wanted to get back the contract, she wouldn't want to get it back unless she paid the liquidated damages.

She remembered that the liquidated damages when she signed the contract was $10,000.

During this time in the nightclub, she has been working hard to save money. Apart from studying acting and vocal music, she has few other expenses, just want to get back her contract,

Restoring freedom.
