American Peanuts

Chapter 65
"Welcome, but what I want to talk about today is not about the agency contract. I don't mean to poach your corners. It is a private meeting. I need Gwyneth's help, so you need to avoid it. "Charlie said calmly.

This Roland neither agreed nor denied, but looked at Gwyneth beside him.

"I don't think it's necessary. Mr. Roland can provide a lot of help." Gwyneth said immediately.

"No, that's not what Spielberg said. What we are talking about is about commercial secrets." Charlie had a tough attitude.

Gwyneth didn't know how to refuse, so she looked at Roland beside her.

Roland gave her a "please" gesture.She nodded and pointed to the lounge nearby.

"Let's talk there." She was very reserved and didn't even want to enter Charlie's office.

"Okay. Artis, you can take Roland around for a while." Charlie waved to Artis.

The two walked into the elegantly decorated lounge, and the front desk helped pour water for them. Before the girl left, Charlie couldn't help but take a second look.

This scene fell in Gwyneth's eyes, and she raised her water glass silently, thinking about how to deal with Charlie.

“Did you enjoy your stay in Los Angeles?”

"Well, so-so."

"You seem to have a good relationship with your agent."

"That's all."

"What are your future career plans?"

"Let's take one step at a time."

Charlie is talking nonsense, this is not about talking about things, this is the kind of person who is forced by his family to go on a blind date during the Chinese New Year, and then meets someone he is not interested in at all, and just wants to end it quickly.

He changed his posture slightly and suddenly said: "Then have you ever been raped by Weinstein... I'm very curious."

Gwyneth put down the water glass, raised her head, and glared at Charlie.

"I don't know what you want to do. If you just want to see me make a fool of myself... I'm sorry, I'm busy. We can talk on the phone later." She stood up.

Charlie didn't stop her. He watched her get up and suddenly said: "Bring me a message to Spielberg. Just say that I can't help you and tell him to stop bothering me."

Gwyneth's steps suddenly stopped.

"What can you do for me?" She turned back, with a look of displeasure on her face, but she couldn't help but ask.

"Don't ask me that." Charlie raised his legs indifferently.

Gwyneth thought for a moment, then suddenly took out a mobile phone from her tight trouser pocket and made a call in front of Charlie.

"Father... I'm little Paltrow. I'm here. What do you ask Charlie for?" Gwyneth asked directly.

"What?" Spielberg was puzzled.

The next second, he suddenly changed his mind: "Oh, yes, I remembered it. There is indeed something that you need help with, right. As for what it is, don't you know?"

He asked rhetorically.

Gwyneth was a little confused: "I..."

"That's it. You and Charlie talk slowly. Now go back and don't embarrass me. I'm holding a script seminar, that's it." Spielberg hung up the phone.

Gwyneth put down the phone silently, and suddenly broke into a smile after being stunned for a few seconds.

"Sorry, Mr. Charlie, I made a mistake."

Charlie said nothing and looked out the window.

"I have some emotions. It's my fault. I hope you give me another chance." Gwyneth looked like a student who had done something wrong.

Charlie dusted off his pants.

"I... I wasn't caught. Weinstein didn't touch me. In fact, he did seduce me, but I refused. For my father's sake, he didn't make things difficult for me." Gwyneth said the truth .

Charlie then turned his head, and Gwyneth quickly sat back on the sofa and asked with some expectancy: "So, can you help me clear up the relationship with Weinstein?"

Combining Spielberg's statement and the questions asked by Charlie, Gwyneth should naturally think in this direction.

It's not that Charlie can't do things like washing the floor, but he won't do it in vain.

"No, at least not now." Charlie rebuffed her.

"I can pay you." Gwyneth said subconsciously.

Charlie turned to look at her.

Do you think I am short of money?

Gwyneth was a little embarrassed for a moment and didn't know how to respond.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Charlie said calmly: "I have established a new brokerage company, and your father is also involved. I wonder if you are interested?"

"Mr. Charlie, I can do a lot of things for the magazine. Whether it's a cover shoot or something else, I'm very happy. All I need is a phone call from you."

"I'm a client of CAA, and I can completely abandon them, but it's not good for me. It's not that I can't do it, but it's not necessary."

Gwyneth tried her best to explain.She only has a cooperative relationship with CAA. They provide consulting advice and performance opportunities and receive commissions.

"No, it's necessary. The wind direction in Hollywood needs to be changed. And it's good for you too. I have a more advanced business brokerage model than CAA." Charlie said suddenly.

This statement is certainly an exaggeration.

Rather than saying it is more advanced, it is better to say that it is more attractive to artists.

"CAA will equip you with a whole team, right? But you know, those business assistants serve multiple stars at the same time. Your preferences and habits are all in the hands of others."

"Everyone has done this for so many years, not just me. This is a proven and safe model."

"But who can guarantee what will happen in the future? It's like I'm sitting here right now." Charlie said suddenly.

Although she didn't like him very much, Gwyneth had to admit that the rise of the man in front of her was terrifying.

"So what are your plans?" Gwyneth was a little at a loss.

It sounds like this woman is not a smart person. Many years later, she will open a "biological health company" and sell some "energy stones that can treat various diseases and prolong life" and "aromatherapy that smells like V***na" ""Beauty and Beauty Magnetic Water Cup" and other IQ tax products.

"It's very simple. I will create a brand new subsidiary. This agency will only have you as an artist. You will be the boss. All employees and assistants will all revolve around you. You can even sign contracts and explore other artists. , as long as you are capable enough. You can't find another one with such conditions in the world." Charlie said calmly.

It's just an artist's studio on a bad street in my hometown. As for the subsidiary company, it's just another form of contract.

But for Gwyneth, who is not very smart, it sounds completely different.

"A third-rate agent will help you find performance opportunities, a second-rate agent will provide you with the most suitable project, and a first-rate agent will choose to work with you hand in hand."

Listening to Charlie's statement, Gwyneth felt a little excited.

From Gwyneth's point of view, it is not surprising that Charlie would propose such conditions. After all, he seems ambitious and eager to achieve great things, but he is an out-and-out newcomer in Hollywood. In order to win people's hearts, he puts forward generous conditions. is required.

Besides, I am also an Oscar queen, even if I don't have CAA, I still don't have to worry about film appointments, the premise is that Charlie can help me clear my name.

"Sounds good, but I need to discuss it with my family. As for what my father asked you to do..." Gwyneth blinked.

"I can help you solve it now. It's very simple. Admit the facts and retell your experiences. Don't feel ashamed. You are the victim. Everyone will sympathize with you. As for me, I will stand up and endorse you. "

Having a good reputation often comes with many hidden benefits.Of course, you can't wash it randomly, otherwise it will quickly ruin your popularity with passers-by.

"Also, I need answers as soon as possible, and as you know, I will be completing the acquisition of Westin Pictures soon."
