unofficial hollywood life

"Actually it's not really necessary. Tom, you're playing a race car driver not being a race car driver..." Brian Lord, Tom Cruise's manager, was struggling to persuade He dismissed the idea of ​​experiencing the life of a racing driver with a haggard look on his face.

If you ask him what it feels like to have a client who is popular all over the United States in his hands?Brian will tell you, it's cool, it's crazy!

Because this will not only bring him a high commission income, but also further increase his influence in the company, thus allowing more big stars to choose him as their agent and promote his status And expand his network, and then feed back to his income, forming a virtuous circle.While CAA's clients usually have four or five brokers, the question is which one is always the most important, so Mr. Lord is quite satisfied with this situation.

But if this popular customer in the United States is still a super handsome guy with experience, then the situation will not be so wonderful.

No, no, he has no problem with Tom Cruise himself. This is a person who manages his private life very strictly. He doesn't have to worry about receiving a call from the police station or some messy place in the middle of the night and needs to take care of it himself. He's fished out, and he doesn't have to worry about one day he's going to be so unrecognizable because of some kind of drug factor that he's going to disappear from the mainstream Hollywood movie world.In that respect, Mr. Crews was a client who gave brokers peace of mind.

But it is also a fact that this gentleman has been rejected by Oscars all year round because of his handsome face. Even the politically correct and mainstream "Born on the Fourth of July" did not allow him to get the coveted statuette. What else can you expect?Of course, you can say that this is because there are too many acting schools in Hollywood. Isn’t the Oscar still paying for the fact that the trophy was not awarded to some people decades ago?Just like Paul Newman, who has been discriminated against by Oscar for decades, he was only given a compensatory statuette the year before last. Compared with his previous works, "The Color of Money" is far from the pinnacle.

The same is true for Mr. Cruise. Although he played a few tricks when he first entered Hollywood, he quickly became the leading actor in the movie with his good-looking face that is loved by all Americans.It took him less than three years to go from the first starring role in "Crazy Boys" to the national hit "Top Gun".But while he was a big success at the box office, it seemed that Oscar had closed the door to him.In the past few years, he has produced many excellent works, such as "The Color of Money", "Rain Man", "Born on the Fourth of July" and so on are some films that both exploded in word of mouth and box office.If it was a different person, it might be possible to win the Oscars with these movies, but if it was him, the road would become extremely difficult.

This also caused him to work harder on his acting skills, and he was even on the verge of going mad.For example, when filming "Born on the Fourth of July", this guy actually tried to temporarily paralyze himself by injecting a drug to increase the character's persuasion. The only one is a Tom Cruise who has strong sequelae and may not be able to walk someday!

Unfortunately, his experiential thinking has not been curbed since then, as can be seen from his recent request.

"My character is a racing driver. I think I should know more about the industry, which will make the role more convincing. You can't let a racing driver be at a loss when facing various racing engines. .” That’s what his dear clients told him.

It almost made Brian want to scream instantly!

What does it mean to be at a loss when facing a racing engine?Don't you play the role of a brat who knows nothing about racing and can only drive?It would be a mistake to know too much about racing engines!When I haven't read the script?

Because of this shit, Brian wanted to grab his hair angrily!Although he really didn't have much hair left for him to grab.But anyway, he was genuinely worried that his big client would get himself into a car accident because of his experience of life before the film.

God knows what a dangerous activity this is!Thinking of the dead and disabled racers on the track, and thinking of Mr. Cruise's fanatical experiential spirit, Brian couldn't help shivering.

"I know, but I still need to figure out the basic common sense. I can't join the group without knowing anything." Tom Cruise didn't care that his agent was about to collapse, and continued at his own pace. .

"Listen, Tom, I'm not trying to stop you from improving your acting skills, but you have to know that this kind of behavior is very dangerous. Maybe we can look at the high disability rate of a race car driver?" After hesitating, Brian is still unwilling to give up trying to get his major client to dispel this idea.

"It's just some theoretical knowledge. Watching the scene by the way will give me a better understanding of the character." Cruise still maintained a smile and insisted on his own opinion.

The handsome face has a standard sweetheart smile that can fascinate the audience, making Brian lament that the nickname of American Sweetheart is indeed correct!

"Okay, okay, I will find someone relevant to help you understand this matter." In the end, Brian could only reluctantly agree.

Who told him to be just an agent?They have to do for each other what customers want, otherwise what is full service?

However, although he agreed to find a racing expert for his big client, there are many kinds of experts, and the option of racing driver was not included in the list at all when he called.

So, when Mr. Cruise followed his agent to a private racing club, he saw a modified car scene.

"I didn't know you would find a professional in this field." Tom said with some surprise.

He thought that Brian would find a racing driver to take him for a couple of laps, but he didn't expect that he came to see the modification?

"Trust me, Tom. If it is really about professional knowledge, a car modification technician knows a lot more than a racer, and their racing skills are much better than ordinary people even if they are not as good as racers. With a double, this is a very good choice." Brian shrugged and explained.

Optimizing things under various conditions is the best thing an agent should do, and he has always done a good job in this regard.

"OK, I guess I should take a professional's advice." Tom smiled.

In fact, he is not as crazy as Brian imagined. When a person passes a certain stage, he will become much more rational. "Thunder Ambition" is an action movie in a certain sense, and a double must be indispensable when filming. It is impossible for him to drive a racing car on the track all the time. I just want to find out.

Well, the current Mr. Cruise is not the action maniac he will be in the future, climbing the Dubai building with his bare hands without a substitute.Although he is still a popular fried chicken now, his power is far from reaching its later peak, and his voice in some aspects is not enough.Otherwise, during the filming, Mr. Manager would probably have to sit in the auditorium and watch his big client racing on the racing track in fear!

"Hey, buddy, we're here to find Alessandro, where is he?" Brian looked around, walked to a desk, knocked on the table, and asked the girl who was busy writing.

In this club, this girl is probably the only one who can help him. Others are either roaring on the runway or working under the car, and some people are holding electric welding tools to work in Zirazla. He still doesn’t want it. It is better to disturb the other party.

"Alejandro?" The girl frantically flying the ballpoint pen raised her head, a little dazed, and then realized who she was talking about.

"Abby!" She yelled at the messy modification workshop inside, and then pointed to Brian, "You can just go there, Abby is in the modification workshop now."

Brian looked in the direction she was pointing at, only to see a thin figure busy under a racing car, doubts welled up in his heart.

Could his subordinates be so unreliable?Can anyone find fault?Thinking of the huge gap between the two names Abby and Alessandro, Brian suddenly had an ominous premonition.

"Thank you." But he still thanked the girl in front of him, greeted Tom Cruise and walked over together.

"Mr. Alessandro?" Brian called out after walking into the modification workshop.

"Please wait a moment, I'll be fine soon." A muffled voice came from under the car, as if through a mask.

'Sounds like a very young look', Tom thought, looking around the tuning shop full of parts and frames.

This is a bit different from the professionals he thought. Even through the mask, the voice of this Mr. Alejandro seemed a bit too clear and cold, rather than the rough and enthusiastic feeling in his impression.

Uh, Mr. Cruise probably watched too many racing movies. He always thought that the car tuning technicians were some strong Texas men with beards. This is really misleading.

"Wow--" With the sound of a pulley, the thin figure under the car slid out.

"Hello, I'm Alejandro, Diana Alejandro Abigail Morgan, you can call me Abby." Taking off her gloves, taking off her mask, and shaking her hair, Dea Anna smiled and held out her hand to Brian and Tom.

It surprised the two Brians who had always thought that Alessandro was a tough guy, and also surprised Mr. Cruise, who was used to Hollywood beauties.
