The Best Actor in the Vase of Meiyu

Chapter 14 Playing on occasion
It's just a show, why take it seriously?
Although the analogy is not appropriate, it is just like "The Emperor's New Clothes". In fact, everyone understands that this is a show, and they are just the audience who cooperate with the show. There is no need to expose the lie and let the show continue.

However, after all, someone is different, and a child who dares to tell the truth appears in the Hayworth Theater.

Looking at it roughly from a distance, the figure looked quite young, that is, in his early twenties. He should still be a fledgling, unable to flexibly switch his expressions, and unable to adapt to the occasion, and could reveal himself inadvertently. Come out with true feelings.

Anson was a little curious, would that person tell the truth like a child from "The Emperor's New Clothes"?

He didn't.

The figure looked around in astonishment, then gradually came back to his senses, withdrew his gaze, lowered his head, hunched his body, and secretly prepared to leave.

It seems that he is not prepared to expose the performance, nor is he prepared to stay for a long time.

Anson found this scene very interesting——

It seems that Hollywood in 2000 still retains some vitality and edges, and not everyone is crawling at the feet of traffic and selling their souls.

Edgar-Cook was thinking maybe, maybe, probably... he should leave.

As a junior agent, he had just transferred from an agent assistant to a formal agent position. He had no foundation, no connections and no clients.

Everything must be started from scratch.

Therefore, Edgar needed to rely on his own legs to travel throughout Los Angeles, from acting schools to independent theaters, from TV series sets to the streets.

Even when you are walking and eating, you need to be observant.

Maybe, he can discover the rough diamonds that have not yet been polished; maybe, he can discover the frustrated little actors; maybe, he can discover the big-name actors whose relationship with their agents has broken down.

Opportunities are not something you have to wait for, but you need to discover, dig and fight for them.

"Possibility" is created by oneself.

Edgar has no reason to miss this afternoon's "hole"——

In addition to James and Seth, the crew also has a group of actors who have no agents but have potential, and Edgar also has great expectations.

However, that's it?

isn't it...

Is it because his expectations were too high that he missed the point, or is it because he lacks personal ability to appreciate the performance in front of him? Edgar raised a soul torture:
To leave or to stay is a question worth considering.

But what is the basis for judgment?

intuition.

A top agent must trust his own intuition, his judgment on his clients, his judgment on the works of his co-directors, his career planning, etc., all of which must be trusted in his intuition.

If an agent doesn't know what he's doing, even a top director or a top actor's career will be ruined.

At least, this is what Edgar learned and developed his own vision during his five years at the William Morris Agency.

Although he has not had a single customer so far, Edgar believes that customers are more important than quantity and quality; and he believes in himself.

After all, he broke the odds of being chosen one in twenty and became the only lucky person to become a full-time agent from an agent assistant in March.

At William Morris, everything depends on ability. Even within the same company, they are all competitors. Becoming a full-time employee does not depend on luck.

The William Morris Agency, founded in 1898, is the only one of the five major Hollywood agencies with a century-old legacy.

The other four major brokerage firms combined have been in business less than one William Morris.

It is no exaggeration to say that William Morris witnessed the history of Hollywood and established the current Hollywood agent industry with many talents all over the world.

Although innovative artist management companies have come from behind to become the industry leader since the 1980s, the old and ever-strong William Morris made a wonderful turnaround in the 1990s. At the dawn of the new century, the two companies are tied It is the first of the five major Hollywood agencies. One of the most far-reaching actions of the William Morris Agency was the invention of the mailroom:
As a place to train new talents, the careers of the five founders of Innovative Artist Agency, former Disney CEO Michael Eisner, and DreamWorks founder Jeffery-Katzenberg Careers all started here.

Now, all Hollywood agencies have set up mailrooms.

Edgar is no exception.

From starting in the mailroom of William Morris to becoming a full-time agent, it’s all step by step, all by myself.

Even though it has just begun, he is confident with the signature of William Morris.

Edgar admitted he was a little disappointed with "The Hole."

The same is true for drama, performance, etc., just like student works, rough, crude, pretending to be profound, and meaningless.

James Franco is indeed talented, but at present, he has not found the right way to use his talents.

Of course, it's not James's turn to worry about his little agent; however, Edgar doesn't think he needs to stay any longer, and he might as well have afternoon tea if he has this time.

Edgar chose to trust his instincts.

He stood up, bent down, tried his best to avoid disturbing other people, waved his sleeves and left quietly without taking away a single cloud. Then, he noticed:

A look.

Just like a prey stepping into a trap and being stared at by a hunter, the hair on the back stood up instantly.

what happened?

Edgar stood up straight, took advantage of the crowd, and quickly glanced around——

At this time, everyone in the audience turned their attention to the stage and applauded the actors and casts who took the stage for the curtain call, accompanied by screams, whistles and cheers.

There was a great uproar.

If there is something different, it will naturally stand out, like a sharp cone in a sack.

Then Edgar found it.

Aura.

This was Edgar's first impression. His face and facial features could not be clearly seen among the crowd, and his eyesight could not be accurately described. It was just an impression.

Not ostentatiously, but he couldn't help but shift his gaze, wanting to take another look.

Those eyes, even if they noticed Edgar's gaze, did not deliberately avoid it. Instead, they gently raised their chin and nodded, with a smile in their eyes.

Edgar, a little embarrassed.

Only then did he realize that he was sneaking around in a lewd way. It was extremely rude to be caught secretly preparing to leave.

Of course, you can still leave. Even if you are caught on the spot by James Franco, it will be fine. Doesn’t it mean that others are not allowed to leave after the show is over?
But as his thoughts started to change in his mind, Edgar put down his steps, stood up straight again, and looked towards the stage. He thought that maybe there would be some unexpected gains.

Anyway, the show is over, the hardest and most painful part is over, and it won't be worse if you stay.

One second he was ready to leave, the next second he reversed his decision, and his ballet turns were disappointing, but Edgar didn't have the slightest psychological burden——

Isn't this the basic rule of survival in Hollywood?
