super actress

"No, thank you for your concern, Mr. Witt." Taking advantage of the fact that she couldn't see the other party's expression on the phone, Rhea rolled her eyes without any scruples, "I don't know Adrian said—"

"This has nothing to do with him, this matter has nothing to do with you." Andri quickly interrupted Rhea, he seemed impatient to hear the director's name, "Please allow me to guess Miss Parker a little bit, I think your idea of ​​going to school now A lot has been dispelled, maybe you still thought about dropping out of school to pursue a career as an actor in Hollywood, didn't you?"

Andre Witter is indeed very smart, Rhea can only feel so emotional.

"In fact, I have thought about it." After waiting reservedly for a while, Rhea couldn't help asking: "But how do you know—"

Although she knew that she followed Andre's rhythm as soon as she asked, but the man directly intercepted her words and continued to make Rhea feel unhappy.

"Since you think this movie is doomed to fail, then I don't think you will be optimistic that this movie will be released immediately." In all fairness, Andri's voice is still very nice, although people may not notice it because of his arrogant tone, "So I guess, you want to take on some different roles before "Lolita" comes out to avoid stereotypes of Lolita, right?"

He said exactly what Rhea thought.

In fact, she thought so from the beginning.

The production of the "Lolita" movie will be delayed until 1997, and it seems to be released later, so when she agreed to audition for Lolita, Rhea was planning how to get a more classic or image during this time. Completely different characters.

After starring in the heroine of the movie Lolita, she has acting experience and more or less met some contacts. At least she is not completely blank in Hollywood. The plan to seize the opportunity to develop her own career seems very attractive.

"But I don't think you're going to get a worthwhile role any time soon," Andri said, politely and irritatingly, "Lolita is going to come out, and she's not going to be quiet. .”

"It's good to know that, it puts my mind at ease."

Hearing Andre Witte's words, Rhea's superficial anger was extinguished a little.In fact, in this project, Rhea is the one who has the least confidence and the most apprehensive. Knowing too much has increased her pressure.

That's why she worked so hard. No matter how good the director, male lead, and staff praised her, Rhea couldn't relax.

Perhaps surprised by her composure, Andri paused for a while before continuing: "Mario and I have seen some fragmentary footage of the shooting, and we agree that..."

"Will the movie be successful?"

"Lolita will become your classic image, and it will also become your barrier."

Rhea was silent for a while. In fact, Andre didn't need to say anything. She was also very aware of this matter. She and Malloy had already analyzed the matter clearly.

"Instead of wasting future time in similar, off-the-wall roles, go to an elite school and reverse your image."

He was right, but Rhea still couldn't understand: "I am very grateful for your suggestion, Mr. Witte, but I am still curious, why are you willing to take so much trouble to consider this little man like me?"

"Because I still regard you as my potential client." The man's voice did not fluctuate, "So I don't want you to lower your own value.

Rhea didn't expect that he would take the initiative to bring up the matter of the manager. She thought that once an arrogant person like Andri was rejected, he would put Rhea Nolen's name on the black account.

In fact, she thought that Andri would not find herself until the day the movie came out, laughing at her misjudgment of the movie.

"Mr Witte, I think you overestimate my..."

"Since you know very well that I can help you, why did you refuse?" Hearing the refusal in her tone, Andri asked as if he was in a fight with her, "If the last time was for the script, then this time it is Why?"

Despite his ego, this man does have ego capital. In his eyes, people are probably equivalent to those complicated numbers in the stock market, and he is good at analyzing all of them.

"Because the position of a manager is very important, the manager will provide me with advice on career planning and film selection." Now Rhea can speak calmly. I'm also new, Mr Witte, and you're too amateurish for the job."

Rather than saying that Rhea is angry with Andri's arrogance, it is better to say that she is annoyed by his rudeness. She has actually seen many self-righteous upper-class elites. Apart from the regional differences in China and the United States, this group of people still feels like Very similar.

But even so, Rhea was stunned by his performance in the audition, and as an actress who loves the industry, she almost wanted to throw Andri out.

She got angry and continued to be hostile to Andri, a producer with a background, which was very irrational, but it was caused by emotions, and Rhea could only calm down slowly.

"How do you know I'm new?"

"Aren't you?" Rhea just calmly asked Andri's rebuttal.

In fact, this is not a difficult thing to notice. Andrei doesn't know those rules and he has no patience to learn them one by one. The extremely controversial "Lolita" is very risky and bold, but it may also be due to ignorance.

Andri fell silent, and Rhea didn't want to offend him too much, so she explained again: "Of course you did it very smartly. You invested 2 million U.S. dollars, accounting for one-third of the total budget, which happened to be Mario can accept the range, and then under his pressure, I was sent to the female lead audition, further challenging his authority."

Of course he can invest more money, but then Mario won't accept it.

"Actually, Mr. Witte, I hate your arrogance, but I admire your means. I believe you must be an excellent businessman."

"So..." Andri paused meaningfully, "Or because of that phone call?"

Rhea was speechless this time, and it took her a while to answer honestly: "Yes, that's because of the phone call."

"Would you feel better if I told you that call was worth $1 million?"

"No." Rhea answered after thinking carefully, "Because I don't think the 1 million dollars can buy back the 1 minute that I should have had a complete performance."

And the money wasn't for her, why should she feel better?

She heard a deep laugh, and she even suspected that it was the background sound of the TV. It was not until Andri spoke to Rhea that she was sure that he was really amused by her just now.

"Funny girl."

He ended up saying that because he could hear Rhea saying it not because she was young and frivolous about $1 million, or because she was still angry and didn't want to make it easier for Andri.

She really felt that her 1 minute was worth more, at least more than that 1 million dollar phone call.

Rhea wasn't sure whether the word funny meant a compliment or a derogation to Andry, but it had nothing to do with her, she just wanted to be curious about the answer to a question, "I've answered your question, Mr. It's up to you to answer me."

"Why me?" she could finally ask. "If you're smart, rich, backgrounded, and ambitious, why should you choose me?"

There are obviously so many talented actors in Hollywood, and there are even many famous stars.

"Because I have all these, I will choose you." Andri's voice returned to indifference, "You were born poor and have nothing, but you have ambition and talent, and more importantly, you are not stupid. "

"And you are still very young, so I can even influence your admission to higher education and your life for at least 20 years in the future."

Rhea sort of gets what he means, that it's just a developmental game for André Vetter, and she's nothing more than a proper starter doll.

He made a judgment coldly: "Do you think it's better to support the princess to become the queen, or to push the daughter of the daughter-in-law to the throne?"

In this passage, Andre hit almost every place Rhea hated. He investigated her identity and said it indifferently. What's more embarrassing is that he didn't even bother to express contempt.

He's just telling the truth.

"...But why a producer? Why a manager? You can even invest in building a film company yourself, which is much more profitable than being an actor's manager."

"You know, I have many ways to make money. The entertainment industry can indeed make a lot of money, but I don't want to do that."

Rhea couldn't help but rolled her eyes again.

"My... people who are genetically related to me have made great achievements in many fields. I don't want to go back to those old ways."

"I guess what you want to say is the word 'family'?" Hearing that Andri used genes to describe the family relationship, Rhea felt a little helpless even if she knew him a little bit.

"In short..." The sarcasm in his words became stronger, "I want a different way of life."

"Then why don't you try to become an actor yourself?" Rhea couldn't help but sarcastically said, "Mr. Witt, you don't look too bad. With your intelligence, you will definitely become a hit."

Andri was not affected by her ridicule, but sneered, "I think it's more interesting to put ordinary people on the altar."

She suspected that the phrase "ordinary people" was a compliment for Andri.

In other words, he acquiesced to what Rhea said. Of course, he is pretentious, so he must be a superstar who is highly praised as an actor.

Rhea even felt that the reason Andre was so persistent was because she had rejected him, and Andre Werther did not accept failure.

Now Andri's meaning is very clear. He is not interested in the film industry, but wants to repeat the star-making splendor of the Hollywood factory era.

Instead of making a film that has become a classic in film history, he wants to create legends like Marilyn Monroe and Audrey Hepburn, perhaps far more than that.

So he wants to be a manager. The manager has to contact clients and worry about a lot of things, which he doesn't bother to do. The boss of the production company has great power but is too far away, so he has little control over the actors.

——A manager is not the same as an agent. An agent cannot enjoy the interests of the production company or distribution company of the film, nor can he engage in or be employed by the production and distribution of the film, but the manager can.

Therefore, the managers of many stars will participate in the production share of their films, or many producers will also act as managers to exchange resources and benefits with the stars.

And what Andri wants is obviously not this. He wants to turn an ordinary girl into a goddess worshiped by thousands of people. This process can indeed bring the supreme pleasure like a creator. Countless people have failed in the process—

Like God, that's presumably what André Witte is after.

This can completely explain his rash choice of "Lolita". Maybe he took a fancy to the bold taboo of "Lolita" and thought that people would like this kind of movie.

Or they couldn't find a better option to enter the game. Judging from Andri's description of his family, Rhea didn't think he would use too many family resources.

"Interesting man."

She imitated Andri's tone and returned the comment to him.

Apart from her prejudice against this man, Rhea really finds him interesting, and this way of thinking about comparing herself to a god is also uniquely arrogant.

Andri smiled again, Rhea guessed it must be a very fake commercial smile, "I think I have proved my sincerity."

Yes, he is indeed sincere.

Two phone calls, the first time took 10 minutes, this time it took about 10 minutes, at least he has already invested time in Rhea.

"Submit your application to Weber Secondary, Rhea."

He is the first person Rhea has ever seen who pronouncing her name as coldly as robot No. 1 and No. 2, "If you want to get rid of the influence of the original family in the future and get a beautiful degree, Then slap it in the face of people who despise your parentage."

"Then you'll be willing to write me a letter of recommendation?" Rhea didn't quite believe his generosity.

Andri slowed down again: "Unless you can convince me that you are worth it."

"Have a nice day."

He hung up the phone.

So after 41 minutes and 37 seconds of the call, Rhea Nolen finally figured out Andri's real purpose-even when she was reluctant, he still changed the relationship between their needs.

Damn smart and damn stingy!

If she was really a 14-year-old American girl, no matter how smart and scheming she was, she would have been completely moved by Andre by now, and would even beg him in turn.

It's a pity though - she's not really 14.

No matter how powerful Andre Vetter was, she even admired this man's wrist, but why would she make it difficult for herself to work with a man she hated?

Becoming a world-famous actress was her career, her dream, her promise to 12-year-old Rhea Noren, but it wasn't a mission given by Andri Witter.

Besides, she didn't have to go to this school, and even if it had to be Weber, she didn't have the confidence to pass the exam.

As for what she said about Adrian Lane--Weber High was too good for her?

As a former Chinese, she is just used to modesty.

If she learns from Andre and is a little more arrogant, Rhea thinks it is not impossible for her to get Weber's scholarship-please, she is a good student from China, and she has never scored below A in all exams!

Throwing aside Andre Werther's dejected face, Rhea turned over the memorized lines and studied them seriously.

Instead of worrying about a person she hates, she might as well think about her own role!

The author has something to say:

...Many star managers have participated in the production of movies they acted in m(._.)m, like Charlize Theron's "The Devil" and Xiao Li's "The Great Gatsby", So this is quite normal
