[US Entertainment] Popular all over the world

Don't look at Brian Lord's confidence on the surface, but he is actually beating drums in his heart now.

Before flying to Beijing, this talented agent had already confirmed through various channels that his client, Scarlett Johansson, was the "Black Widow" that Josie wanted most.

But the fact is that Josie doesn't seem satisfied with Scarlett.

She obviously wouldn't promise anything in person, and she didn't make any demands, which made Brian Lord's preparation before coming and the audition tape specially recorded by Scarlett temporarily useless.

Brian Lord couldn't figure out what was going on in Josie's heart, so he could only put a just-right smile on his face, thinking quickly about ways to open up the situation.

Somehow, at this tense moment, in the spring of 1994, the scene where the little girl who was not noticed at all walked into the elevator of the CAA building suddenly flashed in front of Brian Lord like a slideshow Pass.

She has become a big person who is difficult for her to fathom.

God knows how many people in CAA and Hollywood are beating their chests for missing this girl, including Brian Lord!

That Richard Goode, who once disliked her, has long been a laughing stock in the industry, no matter how down-and-out the rookie is, he is unwilling to hang out with him, and after a few years, he went back to his hometown in the south, and Hollywood has never found him since.

Brian Lord quickly retracted his wandering thoughts.

anyway.

It wouldn't be wrong to say Josie didn't like Scarlett, she even acted like she liked Scarlett because she was willing to talk to them about the project, it just seemed a little... comparison to another girl through Scarlett ?

Hell, which little Bichi moves faster than them? !

Thinking of this, Brian Lord's heart suddenly rang alarm bells, reminding Scarlett: "Scarlett, why don't you let Josie watch your videotape?"

The smile on Scarlett's face froze for a moment. She looked at Josie who was opposite, and asked hesitantly, "Is it okay? I mean, will this bother you?"

Josie curled her lips and said in a casual tone, "No. You can do it now."

Brian Lord breathed a sigh of relief.

At the same time, he also knew that this time, he really owed the female star in front of him a big favor.

Thinking of this, he caught Scarlett's young and beautiful face beside him with the corner of his eye. When the big eyes opened and closed, they revealed a state of always being free.

Brian Lord couldn't help feeling a headache, and he only thought silently: I hope this girl is worth it...

The video was projected in a conference room at the hotel.

In the picture, Scarlett, who is wearing a catwoman-style black tight-fitting uniform, wears a long red wig. She has a sexy hourglass figure and a youthful face that cannot be seen after heavy makeup. If you only look at the middle shot, Ornamental is definitely enough.

Brian Lord, who saw the videotape for the first time, nodded secretly.

So far, it seems that the results are not in vain. He arranged for Scarlett to train with the best coach for several weeks, as well as the skills of the plastic surgeon in Beverly Hills.

very perfect.

Complete Hollywood commercial blockbuster heroine show off.

If he were those damned producers, Brian Lord, whose sexual orientation is not straight enough, would feel like sleeping with her—isn't that right?

"What do you think?" Josie asked after reading it.

"Not bad." Martha Miller, one of the producers of the "Black Widow" project, said, "Young and beautiful, and the performance didn't make people laugh."

She nodded slightly as she spoke, her expression was still that flat, making it hard to tell whether this praise was just from being polite.

As for the others, they have no right to speak about casting.

Including Lindsay who heard the news.

However, Lindsay took a few extra glances at Scarlett who was sitting there quietly, as if it was hard to imagine that the hot girl on the screen was the same person as the restrained girl in front of her.

Brian Lord set his sights on Josie.

Josie didn't play tricks, and said directly to Scarlett, "To be honest, I'm a little disappointed, Scarlett."

Scarlett seemed a little surprised.

She raised her green eyes and subconsciously glanced at Josie.

"You did a good job—" Josie went on, "but it's only half bad. I don't know if it's because you went too far in preparation for the film, or if you didn't go all out for 'Black Widow'. ' audition."

Scarlett moved her lips, wanting to speak.

"Scarlett!" Brian Lord called her name first, his voice raised.

"Sorry." Scarlett lowered her head again, "I've been trying to figure out the script of "Lost in Translation" recently, and I think it has affected my state to a certain extent."

In fact, this is indeed one of the reasons.

But the point is that Scarlett herself lacks interest in superhero movies, and everyone around her prepares for the audition for this role, and even her favorite "Lost in Translation" has to be sidelined.

It is normal for a girl who is full of money to resist what others impose on her.

Therefore, her performance lacks a sense of identity with the character's heart. It is enough to watch, but it lacks some deeper understanding.

Brian Lord hesitated for only two or three seconds, and immediately put one hand on his forehead with an annoyed expression, and said to Josie: "Okay, my fault, there was some confusion in my communication with my client. Minor issue...overall, I'm terribly sorry for our unprofessionalism."

Josie and Martha exchanged glances.

Then, Martha, who had a good personal relationship with Brian Lord, said, "Brian, you should have a good talk."

After speaking, he went out first.

Clearly, the former CAA agent has seen the crux of the matter.

In the hierarchical pyramid of CAA, big-name managers don't care too much about the feelings of the small artists under their executive managers, and even they themselves rarely have contact with these clients.

Moreover, the more capable an agent is, the more he has some personality flaws, including but not limited to, self-righteousness, self-righteousness, lust for profit, etc. Facing them, how can a young artist who has not yet made his debut have the right to speak?

As for Scarlett's problem, it is basically a common problem of some overly successful young people who accidentally fall into the quagmire of literary films, but forget that commercial films are the pillar industry of Hollywood.

——She still doesn't know what it means to be able to star in a commercial blockbuster, even if the movie may be bad.

Martha shook her head, sighing inwardly.

Josie gave Lindsay a wink, signaling that the other party should follow her quickly and not stay here to join in the fun.

Lindsay shrugged and followed obediently.

I don't know what happened in the meeting room. In short, after 10 minutes, Brian Lord returned to drink tea in the garden without any abnormality. Scarlett's expression was still a little gloomy, but generally speaking, it was better than before. Be positive.

Without talking about business, the desserts and tea finally became delicious.

Brian Lord spoke highly of today's tea, and before he left, he bought a few packs to take away to catch the plane, saying that he would bring them to his friends in Tokyo to taste.

And Scarlett talked more and more, especially after Lindsay came to entertain them.

The two actresses, who were also born in New York, debuted as child stars, are equally talented but have completely different personalities, had endless topics to chat about. In less than half an hour, they made an appointment for an afternoon tour and exchanged mobile phone and TT numbers.

Brian Lord, who was on the sidelines, was a little surprised, but he was also happy to see the result.

He didn't think that Scarlett needed to learn acting from Lindsay, but she was right to learn how to behave, no matter how bad she was, she could use Lindsay to get acquainted with Josie.

In Hollywood, those who devote themselves to acting are rarely able to achieve real success, and the smell of wine is also afraid of deep alleys. There is one and only one Daniel Day-Lewis.

—and he was not withdrawn when he was young.

It is difficult to quantify acting skills to a certain level, and its judging methods have always been very subjective, which is one of the reasons why film critics always think that they can guide the audience.

Therefore, fame is related to popularity and luck, while being popular is more important to the latter, but becoming popular depends on the artist's own qualifications and emotional intelligence.

Those big stars who have been among the top Hollywood stars for a long time have many egomaniacs, but almost none of them are absolute idiots. Surrounding the existence of these people, Hollywood has formed one after another small circles, just like this to maintain the order and vitality.

Brian Lord is just not satisfied with some of Scarlett's character flaws. An artist like her can become an actor, but she is not suitable for becoming a star.

Hollywood is the most competitive Vanity Fair in the world. Everyone has sharpened their heads and climbed up. Standing still is equivalent to retreating. When the people who made their debut at the same time are enjoying themselves in front of the camera, it is too late to regret it.

This is unacceptable to Brian Lord.

He is one of the top agents in the industry, and his clients must be big stars or soon to be big stars.

Struggling for many years in literary films and finally becoming famous?

Oh, the story is nice and touching, but not his type.

He only serves "stars" and only trains "stars".

Take a look at Natalie Portman who once made friends with Scarlett.

It is also a new Jewish force that has high hopes. The other party has already played the leading role in the Star Wars series. At least the next ten years will belong to her golden period.

Is she prettier than Scarlett, or better at acting than Scarlett?

No, neither.

It's just that the other party has been pleasing the Jewish boss in the circle and finally got the reward, so it is "Natalie Portman" who becomes the Queen of Star Wars, not "Scarlett Johansson".

So it's hard for Brian Lord not to favor a character like Lindsay Lohan who is more capable.

This girl climbed the big tree named Josie Horton early on - if because of this, according to Disney's practice, she will be arranged to go to those parties in Oakland more or less - even if she doesn't have much acting skills Easily mixed with famous Hollywood vases, such as the hero and heroine of "Dancing Out of My Life".

What's more, this girl's acting talent is not bad, she is also a very rare talented player.

Moreover, this industry is full of hostility towards women. With such a well-known and status big star escorting her, and sometimes even providing a little help, Scarlett's road to fame can be much smoother.

As for the others, Brian Lord believes that Scarlett needs to be considered only after she actually wins the six-film contract of "Black Widow".

Leaving an assistant for his client, the famous Hollywood agent got on the plane to leave that afternoon, and told Scarlett to spend a few more days in Beijing before leaving.

He has temporarily changed the plan of this trip and made arrangements for the follow-up.

For example, Scarlett can directly take the special plane arranged by Universal for the crew of "The Trap 2" to go to Tokyo to meet Sofia Coppola.

If you are lucky, her name will still appear in the private conversations between Sofia Coppola and Josie Horton; Ryan Lord, the agent, has nothing to do with it.
