Chapter 291 A Surprise (Earth)

CHU MEN?

WMA senior agent Mike is a bit familiar with this name.

CHU MEN is a transliteration.

Practitioners in the Hollywood entertainment industry who hear this name, after translation in their hearts, will understand it as "TRUE MEN", which is deeply memorable.

"The Chinese actor that Todd recommended to me!" Mike remembered, and felt even more incredible, "Why did you sign him?"

indeed.

A Chinese newcomer, who is said to be a director, has just won the Future Lion at the Venice Film Festival. This is an award for a director, but as an actor, he does not have any honor.

Truman's current net worth, according to the classification of Hollywood, is below the B level.

It's not that he has a certain reputation, but in the eyes of senior managers, there is no need to divide the grades below B. Is there a difference between a film salary of 30 US dollars and [-] US dollars?They are all little people.

So director Todd recommended Truman to WMA senior agent Mike. Although he emphasized that this actor has extraordinary acting skills, is acting important?There are too many supporting actors in Hollywood who have extraordinary acting skills but are unknown all their lives, let alone Asians and Chinese.

Therefore, Mike only introduced a junior agent for Truman, and did not choose to meet Truman in person, which is a natural choice.

But now the agent Adam who can be called "the hottest in the circle" actually represents Truman, which makes Mike very puzzled and surprised.

"Maybe it's because he has 'god' acting skills." Adam Lilling said, his expression was full of memories when he said this.

……

Adam Lelling met Truman 3 days ago.

At that time, he was sitting on the 25th floor of the CAA headquarters building on Fifth Avenue in New York, a floor that represented his current status in CAA.

If CAA is the magic claw behind the whole Hollywood, then now Adam Lelling is the sharpest nail.

Therefore, when Ovitz called and wanted Adam to meet an actor from China, Adam also refused.

"I'm not interested in Chinese actors." Adam said on the phone.

"I know you are only interested in the British prince now." Ovitz said with a smile on the phone, "But I owe Jackie Chan a favor, he hopes that I can help this Chinese actor find the best agent. Without a doubt, you are the best in CAA, of course, at this moment, when you still have a CAA nameplate on your desk."

Adam doesn't care about this kind of irony, or it's not irony, it's just a fact in a statement, he does have the desire to get rid of CAA and go it alone. One more can be added.

There are already many investors who are optimistic about Adam Lelling becoming the second Michael Steven Ovitz.

This decision in the business field will not affect the personal relationship between Adam and Ovitz. After all, Business is business.

"Jackie Chan, a legendary Chinese actor." Adam said, "Okay, for Jackie Chan's sake, I'll give him 15 minutes."

……

The agreed time is at 14:00 pm.

Adam's schedule is very busy, so only 15 minutes for the Chinese actor, which is not deliberately difficult.

But until 13:50, the secretary outside the door had not informed that the Chinese actor had arrived.

Are you going to step on time... Adam thought that this Chinese actor was really calm, or that he didn't pay attention to this opportunity?

That's when Adam noticed a strange commotion within the company.

It started when an email was mistakenly sent to Adam. It was Honey, an intern in the PR department, and she said in the email very exaggeratedly: "Did you see her!"

"Who did you see?" Adam casually replied an email.

"Julie Moore!" Honey probably noticed who the recipient was after replying to this email, and immediately sent another email with "Sorry!" as the content.

"Julie Moore came to CAA?" Adam called his secretary outside the door.

"Yes, and..." The secretary didn't answer on the phone, but pushed open the boss's door, checking emails on her mobile phone.

The news of Julie Moore's arrival, like a stone thrown into a calm lake, caused waves inside CAA.

Part of the reason is of course her fame. As the chairman of the jury of the Venice Film Festival and the grand slam winner of all the world's well-known awards, Julie Moore is undoubtedly the top Hollywood, 3A-level celebrity.

Another part of the reason is that Julie Moore is not an actor managed by CAA. Her contract is with another agency. She came to CAA, which is very surprising. Like a palace.

"And already reached the 25th floor!" The secretary reported Julie Moore's whereabouts to Adam at any time.

"The 25th floor..." Adam is a little panicked even though he is a well-known veteran agent. He has considered a lot, and the most important point is that if Julie Moore came to him and invited him to be his agent, How to deal with it?

Although this seems to be a daydream, pie in the sky, but the matter itself is full of daydream-like magic.

"...she really came to see you!" The secretary made a moaning voice, and then, standing at the door, she put down her phone and turned around, saying in a trembling voice, "Hello... Ms. Zhu Li !"

……

Julie Moore stands in front of Adam.

Adam stood up too.

Both sides shake hands.

Until now, Adam still finds it unbelievable that Julie Moore is standing in his office. Does that mean that he may have the right to be a top broker?

This is enough to realize another 10% of Adam's new plan to develop his own career. As long as he has 10 top 3A actors, his management empire is equivalent to successfully laying the foundation.

These thoughts raced through Adam's mind, but Julie Moore's next sentence shattered all his fantasies.

"HELLO, I am Truman," said 'Julie Moore,' "I'm not late, am I?"

It's hard to describe Adam's surprise and bewilderment at this moment.

The 'Julie Moore' in front of him said that his name was Truman, and he had indeed made an appointment with a Chinese actor named Truman—only then did Adam recall his schedule at two o'clock in the afternoon.

"Ah..." The secretary who heard all this dropped the coffee cup in surprise, which made a mess on the carpet.

But both Adam and the secretary were in a worse state of mind.

In the next 5 minutes, they had to accept the fact that this 'Julie Moore' was played by a Chinese actor, and at the same time, the Chinese actor was not a woman, but a man.

How could he be so perfect as Julie Moore, despite being a good-looking male?What kind of acting is this?I can't understand it at all... This is not an acting skill at all, but a miracle, okay!

"Sister Linlang and Sister Ting both think that we should bring you a surprise, a surprise that can show off your acting skills. They think this is good." Truman took off his wig, "You seem to be amazed by this."
