Chapter 8 Light's Unemployment
Xia Le checked the information about Tony Stark on the Internet, and found that the most famous news about him recently was his disappearance in Afghanistan, which caused the company's stock price to plummet.

Originally, because of the invention of the Jericho missile, Stark's stock price has risen, and the upward trend is still obvious.

But suddenly such a trick came, and immediately caused countless stockholders to mourn, frantically denouncing the terrorists in the Middle East, and praying that Tony Stark would return safely.

However, they never expected that a press conference would be held immediately after Tony Stark's return and he would announce the closure of Stark's weapons department on the spot.

A military-industrial enterprise shuts down its arms department. Isn't that self-defeating?

At that time, Stark's stock price will plunge even more than it has now, and it can even be said that it is bleeding.

After all, there is no Tony Stark, just to say that Stark has lost a genius weapon inventor.

And closing down the weapons department will severely affect the entire company from top to bottom!
"Although Tony Stark has not yet become Iron Man, he has a lot of shrapnel in his body and is suffering in the desert of Afghanistan. I can help him after he returns to China, in exchange for him using the Stark Company and his own The resources made me a star."

On the subway, before Xia Le arrived at the set, she received a call from her manager.

"Xia, there is something on the set, you don't want to go, come to the company."

Xia Le raised his eyes, but asked his manager without showing any signs of expression.

"What's the matter, Jenny?"

Jenny didn't say much on the phone, just said.

"You'll know when you come."

Jenny's company is called the Williams Morris Agency, or WMA for short.

This brokerage company is the second largest brokerage company in the United States, with many well-known artists and hot stars signing contracts, second only to Creative Artists Agency, also known as CAA.

When he came to Jenny's desk, he made a cup of coffee for Xia Le, and said to him in a heavy tone.

"Xia. I received news in the early morning that the main investor of the movie you are shooting died unexpectedly, and the producer couldn't be contacted. The movie is over."

"what?"

Hearing this, the culprit showed an extremely surprised expression, as if he didn't believe it at all.

"Jenny, are you kidding me?"

"Of course not. You'll see something about it on the news in a few hours."

Jenny continued without waiting for Xia Le to digest the news.

"Xia, our contract expires in one week. Then you should find a more capable agent. I can't help you anymore."

Xia Le didn't expect that the chain reaction of killing Jin Bing would not only cause her to lose a role, but also cause her to be abandoned by her agent.

He doesn't care, but his predecessor certainly doesn't think so.

After Xia Le was shocked at the beginning, anger gradually rose on his face.

Having been betrayed, he pressed the table in front of him tightly, and said to Jenny with an excited expression.

"Jenny, are you giving up on me? You were encouraging me to keep working hard yesterday, but you gave up today?"

There was a faint apology on Jenny's face, but he didn't think there was a problem with his decision.

"Yesterday I encouraged you because you still had the last chance, but now the movie is gone, the producer is missing, and your chance is gone."

"Xia, think about it carefully. You have been an actor for two years, but so far you have played only a handful of roles that even have lines. It's not like I didn't help you, right? So I'm really sorry."

Xia Le stared closely at Jenny's eyes, his arms trembling slightly because of anger, and he well deduced an [-]th-line actor who was abandoned by his agent, from unwillingness to giving up slowly.

"Okay, Jenny. You don't regret it."

Xia Le drank the instant coffee in the cup in one gulp, turned and left the WMA office building.

Behind him, Jenny shook his head slightly.

Regret?

Do you think you are Jack Cheng or Jeter Lee?

You are a Chinese American, and you don’t have the huge market across the sea as your backing. I will never regret it in my life!

But only Xia Le knew it.

Wait for a while, when Tony Stark comes back covered in bruises, he will embark on the road to superstardom.

This is a typical opportunity given to you, but you gave up by yourself!
But fortunately, Jenny didn't associate the producer's disappearance with me at all. He might subconsciously think that it was related to the death of investor Wilson Fisk.

……

Xia Le stayed at home for two days after returning to the small rental house from the Williams Morris Economic Company.

He basically didn't go out except for eating, and while he was familiar with this body, he was also familiar with the common sense of this world.

The comics and movies in the Marvel world basically revolve around superheroes and supervillains, and many basic knowledge are not mentioned.

For example, there are still WMA and CAA in this world, but some of Xia Le's familiar stars have changed.

No King of the World James Cameron, just James Cameron the Truck Driver.

There is no Governor Mr. Arnold, only former bodybuilding star and current owner of Arnold's gym chain.

Also, although there is no Marvel and Marvel comics in this world, there is another behemoth of comics and movies, DC.

The Batman and Superman movies in this world are so hot, it's worth noting.

Xia Le should also remember these things.

On the third day in this world, Xia Le received a call from Mindy.

In her own home, Mingdi said to Xia Le while playing with a butterfly knife.

"Let me introduce myself again, my name is Mindy McCready and Big Daddy is my father, Damon McCready."

"My mother was killed by the big drug lord Frank when I was very young. Our goal has always been to avenge her. But the day before yesterday, the big drug lord didn't know who he offended, and he was killed by a bomb in his office gone."

"It is said that not long before he was killed, another gang member who was more powerful than him was also killed by a bomb. Damon is investigating this matter now, and I can't control you for the time being, so let me train you .”

Mindy lied here.

Damon was indeed investigating Frank's death. He was away from home every day and couldn't be busy at all, but he didn't let Mindy train Xia Le.

Because the incident happened suddenly, and Damon hadn't found out Xia Le's details yet, how could he accept him casually.

It was Mingdy who had nothing to do and felt bored at home, so he used training Xia Le as an excuse to pass the time.

On the phone, Mindy invited Xia Le to her and Damon's private training ground.

This is a basement with an area of ​​more than [-] square meters, which is equipped with a gym, a small arena and a shooting training ground.

Ming Di threw a pair of gloves to Xia Le, put on the gloves himself, climbed up to the ring, smiled at him, and beckoned.

"Come up and play, let me see how good you are."
