American Peanuts

Chapter 78 Newcomer Gal Gadot (23)

"Hello, I'm here to see Ms. Artis. She is Mr. Charlie Rossi's secretary." 22-year-old Gal Gadot asked the blonde receptionist Bettis.

"Oh, she's right inside. Go down the aisle to the end and turn left." Betsy pointed the way for her.

"Okay, thank you." Gal Gadot nodded.

Her skin couldn't be called silky. Two years of wind and sun had made it a little rough. She was very plain, not even makeup. Her black hair was simply tied into a ponytail, and her baseball shirt was draped over her shoulders. , which seems somewhat random.

If anything can leave a deep impression on people, apart from her small and delicate face, it might be her eyes, which are big and lively.

When passing by the office area, she couldn't help but stop and look at it for a few seconds. She looked a little curious, but she didn't feel stage fright at all.

"Oh, are you Gal Gadot? Charlie told you to go see him directly." Artis said.

"So fast?" Gal Gadot was a little nervous for the first time and tried to put on her coat again.

"No, just wear a T-shirt and go in." Artis looked up and down.

She felt that this girl was different from those who had come to interview before...

"OK, okay." She took out her personal belongings from her baseball jersey and put them in her pants pocket.

Atis knocked on the door and then pushed it open directly.

Ossenzweig was also in the office, standing at the window with a cigarette in his hand.

Is this Charlie Rossi?Gal Gadot looked at the young man sitting at the desk and saw him turning his head to look at him.

"That's it for the cover photo. I'll arrange for them to go back to Chicago in the next two days." Charlie nodded.

"In addition, this issue arranges an exclusive interview with Stephen King, the original author of "The Mist", and I need the writer to go there in person." Charlie continued.

PB Pictures has cut off most of its projects in order to concentrate all its efforts on promoting the film. Naturally, the magazine cannot be left behind. Yesterday, Militan called and secured an exclusive interview opportunity with Stephen King.

"I will send Richardson there in person, he is the best copywriter we have here." Ossenzweig said, flicked his cigarette butt and chose to leave.

As Ossenzweig and Artis exited the room, there were only two people left in the room.

"Sit down, how did you come here?" Charlie asked casually.

Gal Gadot pulled out the chair and sat down naturally.

"I rented a Saber and drove along Route 66 from the East Coast to the West Coast, from Los Angeles to Chicago. I also enjoyed the scenery along the way." Gal Gadot responded with a smile.

"Only one person?"

"Yes, but there is also a gun. I met a group of motorcycle gangs in Oklahoma and had a bit of a quarrel. I relied on the gun in my hand to calm them down." Gal Gadot recalled the previous memory.

If the other party really dared to shoot, she wouldn't mind leaving a few corpses at the gas station. In her opinion, those speedsters even held their guns wrong.

However, this does not mean that Gal Gadot has nothing to worry about. At least, she has to consider it for the current interview.

DreamWorks staff contacted her for several interviews with acting opportunities, but they all failed.

Otherwise she wouldn't have driven to Chicago alone.

"Sounds like the female killer in the movie." Charlie imagined the scene at that time.

"The movies are all lies. On the battlefield, those who show their heads blindly will be beaten into a sieve."

Sounds like she has a lot of experience.

"Have you considered it, join the banner of Venus." Charlie crossed his hands.

She doesn't need an interview.

"Well... how should I put it, I think your signing time is a bit too long." Gal Gadot expressed her concerns.

This is not the first time Charlie has heard this. In fact, in previous interviews, two people were given up by Charlie due to signing time issues.

This is the company's bottom line and should not be compromised.

"How should I put it? We are not an ordinary brokerage company. We also include personal training, tailor-made projects, plus publicity and packaging. These are all the initial costs. If the other party slaps their legs, gets up and leaves, how can I Not losing all your money? The minimum contract term is ten years." Charlie said emphatically.

"Then maybe we can't agree on this." Gal Gadot shook his head.

She is different from those girls who have no connections. She is Jewish and her uncle works in a Dream Factory. As for the conditions proposed by Charlie, they are not very attractive to her.

"Well, maybe there is still some fate between us. Not everything can be perfect." Charlie murmured in her heart and decided to let Spielberg personally persuade her later.

As for Spielberg, why didn't he explain this to her from the beginning? He probably didn't want Gal Gadot to sign a long-term contract with him. The so-called "care" probably revolves around this aspect.But he miscalculated Charlie's determination.

"Okay." Gal Gadot nodded and prepared to stand up.

Charlie looked at the heroic figure... In fact, just from the way she stood, she could tell that she was different from other girls. She had just retired and still retained a lot of military temperament.

It was her experience that allowed her to be selected to be in the movie "Fast Furious 4". There were many thrilling action scenes in the film, such as opening a car door and jumping out of a car. These were all shot by her herself without relying on any stand-ins.It was this movie that made her famous in Hollywood.

The combination of her outstanding appearance, Jewish identity, and special experience allows her to adapt to various difficult action scenes. It can be said that her fame is inevitable. Even if there is no Fast and Furious, there will be other movies. .For example, if she had been born a few years earlier, Laura wouldn't have been photographed by Angelina Jolie.

In other words, this is a profitable business.

If Spielberg can't persuade him, he will be in trouble. Since he can't give in, why can't he change his approach...

"Wait a minute, since we can't reach an agreement on the contract, why don't we cooperate in another way? You just retired, right? I happen to need a bodyguard too." Charlie said suddenly.

In the past, relying on his excellent physical strength, Charlie felt that he did not need a bodyguard. It would be inconvenient for someone to follow him all the time. But now, looking at it, he can't do everything by himself, such as... expelling reporters.

"Sorry, sir, I don't like this profession." Gal Gadot shook her head and said with some surprise.

If she really wanted to be a bodyguard, she wouldn't come to Hollywood to gain opportunities.

"Actually, you are very suitable for Hollywood. Those who are more beautiful than you are not as beautiful as you, and those who are more beautiful than you are not as beautiful as you. This is your advantage. Your ecological niche is unique. I can make you famous, but you refused this opportunity. , so you can only be my bodyguard, but I will give you some more relaxed conditions, such as allowing you to shoot feature films." Charlie explained.

Gal Gadot turned her whole body back.

She heard the meaning of the words. Charlie could give in, but he had to exchange it in other forms.

"Bodyguard... are you really sure?" Gal Gadot reconfirmed.

"Honestly, you're probably more proficient in firearms than some of the candidates recommended by security companies," Charlie said.

Gal Gadot suddenly had a unique feeling of finding a confidant.

In the glamorous and glamorous Hollywood, the only two criteria for measuring female stars are appearance and acting skills.

No one cares that you lie in the wilderness at minus 23 degrees during a sniper exercise, without moving for more than 36 hours.Those producers only care about whether your penis is big enough and whether it will twist your buttocks.

Gal Gadot nodded and said very cheerfully: "I agree to your words."

Soon, Thor was called over.

"Private security employment contract?" Saul looked at the thin Gal Gadot sitting opposite Charlie.

"Just this woman? I think William is more suitable than him."

What he said was not entirely wrong, at least William's big man stood like a wall, and his appearance alone was enough to intimidate him.

"If we let her come, not only will it not have a deterrent effect, but it will attract more people to come closer. She is so beautiful that men will not be able to help but chat with her." Sol spread his hands and analyzed.

"She is a retired soldier. She is not the kind of person who shows up, but a serious soldier." Charlie explained.

Don't let her appearance fool you.

"I don't believe it." Thor shook his head.

At this time, Gal Gadot turned back silently and looked at Charlie's lawyer.

"I could easily beat the shit out of you."

"Oh, girl, you picked the wrong opponent. I am from Boston. Do you know what that means? I am of pure Irish descent, and I have been actively working out every night during this period. My fitness coach also suggested Let me go to the WWE audition." Saul said as he loosened his tie, as if he really wanted to compete with her.

Speaking of Irish stereotypes... like to drink, like to get drunk after drinking, like to fight.

"Don't hurt him, otherwise no one will draft the contract." Charlie said to Gal Gadot.

Saul turned his head and looked at Charlie with an indignant look: "You should say this to me, so that I don't crook your new love's nose."

"You're right." Charlie smiled.

In fact, he was more or less thinking about it. After all, Gal Gadot was still a little thin, and he definitely didn't have an advantage when facing a man who was bigger than him.

Although they have their own backs, bodyguards should do what bodyguards do.

Gal Gadot pushed away the chair and stood up.At this time, Thor was already moving his wrist.

"Fight!"

Charlie gave orders like a referee.

Thor roared, opened his arms, and pounced like an eagle.

Compared with him, Gal Gadot was like a nimble kitten. He turned slightly sideways, and instead of being grabbed around the waist, he raised his knees.

"Hiss~" Charlie gasped, and he felt the pain for Sol.

Thor's figure was stagnant. Gal Gadot quickly dodged behind him and pushed Thor's leg. Thor knelt on the ground. Then he locked his arms and pressed Thor's head to the ground... …

"You're too ruthless!" Sol's face was pressed against the ground, saliva flying everywhere, and his expression was very dissatisfied.

Come again.

·
The sun was setting, and Atis was sorting out files. The door to the office next to her opened slowly, and Sol walked out with a staggered hand on his waist.

His hair was messy and several buttons on his shirt were missing.

"I'll pass the damn contract to you later!" He said to Atis with an annoyed look on his face.
