Rebirth of the rich and famous

Chapter 55
Leaving aside the woman who came out of the elevator, Song Xiaoye looked down at the note in her hand before entering the elevator.

This is an old house, the elevator is old, and it is the kind of iron gate.No matter how you look at it, it feels a bit dangerous.

Getting the business card from Taylor, she contacted a man named Richard.It's just that she really didn't have much hope for this so-called brokerage company when she really found her by address.

It's not in Los Angeles, and it's fine if it's far away from Hollywood, but this office doesn't look like a real agency.

Walking through the narrow corridor, Song Xiaoye tried her best to ignore the colorful graffiti and stains on the wall.Finally found the address he wanted to go at the end of the corridor.

"Richard and his friends, well, here it is..."

Song Xiaoye hesitated for a moment, then opened the somewhat darkened door.

There was no welcome speech, as soon as Song Xiaoye entered, she felt as if she had entered a vegetable market, with buzzing noises in her ears.

In the small office, there are five or six people around the desk, arguing a lot.

Song Xiaoye stood for several minutes, but no one looked back at her.

"Everyone, everyone..." Following the shout, a woman climbed onto the desk, condescending, and finally shocked the people who were arguing.

Song Xiaoye raised her head, looked at the woman in the yellow uniform who looked like a waitress in a fast food restaurant, and couldn't help blinking.

"Guys, I understand what you're saying! But, Richard is really not there—just like I opened the door for you to see, he's still not here! Jack pushed the door just now, and it was locked from the outside the—isn't it?"

The woman raised her hands and pressed down, "I understand your feelings. Yes, it's too much work to be a role player all day long! We are all people with dreams and ideals. Who wants to just be a role player all day long?! But ,"

After a pause, the woman stared at the few people, and said in a deep voice: "When Richard signed the contract with you, it didn't say in the contract that he would definitely help you get the role of the protagonist, let alone guarantee that you would become big stars—— Ah, stop arguing! He agreed verbally? Then when you signed the contract, you didn't let him write it into the contract?"

Staring at the young woman who was talking angrily, she sneered and said, "You can't become famous, you can't play the leading role, why don't you ask yourself why? It's just your three-legged cat who can only shake your chest and make a fool of yourself. Do you still want to become a big star?! Do you think that if you look like Marilyn Monroe, you can really become Marilyn Monroe? Beauty, even if you want to become a new generation of sexy actresses, please practice your acting skills, okay?"

She blushed when she said that, the woman with curly blond hair and half of her breasts exposed was really Marilyn Monroe. Pointing, she subconsciously shrunk her chest again.

After snorting twice, the woman jumped off the desk, "Okay, okay, let's do what we should do after the quarrel is over! I also have to work in the chicken chop shop! I have to eat even if I can't be the protagonist, right?!"

As soon as she said it, a man in the crowd who was still arguing also said "ah", "Oh no, I have to deliver pizza!"

Ignoring others, the young man turned around and ran out. He rushed out too fast, bumped into Song Xiaoye, and rushed out without thinking about apologizing.

One left, and the others left while complaining.

Seeing that everyone was gone, the woman in yellow breathed a sigh of relief. She turned her eyes and saw Song Xiaoye. She couldn't help crying: "Didn't you also come to settle accounts with Richard? I told you that you don't read the contract." ..."

"I'm not here to settle accounts." After saying something in a hurry, the woman seemed to be relieved, and Song Xiaoye said: "But, I'm here to find Richard. I called him yesterday, and it was Taylor who introduced me here."

"Oh, Taylor?!" The expression of the woman in yellow immediately became vivid, "Is it Julia's Taylor? That handsome man! My God, just thinking about it makes my heart beat..."

Twirling her waist, she happily turned to the door behind the desk and opened it with the key.

"Go in! Richard is inside...Little sister, you are Taylor's student, right? When you see him, you must say hello for me, and say that Mary misses him!"

Shocked by Mary's winking eyes, Song Xiaoye watched her walk out of the door before turning around.

Standing in front of the door, she hesitated.

If she was still wondering just now, the agency now makes her feel even more unreliable.

This Richard was actually trapped in the office by his actors, and he didn't even dare to say that he was in the company. What kind of thing is this?And that Mary, the secretary?But I still have to work in a fast food restaurant.

What kind of brokerage company is this?

Holding the doorknob, Song Xiaoye was still hesitating whether to go in, but a voice came from the door: "Mary, what are you doing? Did everyone leave? Why did you open the door?"

The door swung open, and a half-bald man poked his head out.The two looked at each other and couldn't help being stunned.

"You..." Straightened up, the man raised his hand to stroke his hair, but his expression changed, "I'm sorry, wait a minute."

The door closed with a bang and opened again in less than a minute.

A handsome middle-aged man with brown eyes stood in front of the door and smiled gently.

Song Xiaoye blinked, and although she wanted to hide it, she couldn't help but laugh.

If it was just now, Richard would indeed be able to bluff people like this, but after seeing his bald image just now, Song Xiaoye really couldn't feel respect.

"It's Song, isn't it?" Richard still had a gentle look, as if he didn't realize why Song Xiaoye was laughing at all.

Letting Song Xiaoye in, he smiled gently and said, "Taylor is my old friend! We were good friends when we were in USC, and we agreed at that time that if he becomes a big director, I will be..."

Not in the mood to listen to Richard's next words, Song Xiaoye just secretly wondered.

So Taylor is from USC?I heard that many big-name directors graduated from there. I just don’t know why Taylor didn’t become a director, but instead became Julia’s acting teacher.

"No, it's because his mouth is too poisonous, no one dares to use him as a director, right?" Cursing secretly, Song Xiaoye took the form that Richard handed over.

After looking at it again and again, I couldn't help but said: "Mr. Benton, I have no intention of signing a formal contract. I just..."

"Find some side jobs to make some money!" Richard smiled, crossed his hands, looked at Song Xiaoye squarely, and said with a smile, "Song, I am very optimistic about you. Although you are still a student now, your acting skills are not good enough. Mature, but I still think you have great potential. Believe me, if you formally enter the entertainment circle in the future, you will definitely accomplish a lot. Moreover, I will be your best choice."

Smiling, Song Xiaoye really didn't know what to say to Richard's serious expression.

Is that what he always says when negotiating a contract with someone?
After watching Song Xiaoye seriously for 2 minutes, Richard pushed over a contract calmly.

"You can take a look. This contract states that although you are not officially a contracted actor of our company, I will personally represent you in your performing arts activities. The income from performing arts activities arranged by me will be [-]%..."

Eloquent, Richard explained the seemingly two-page contract for half an hour, but in fact it was only the first two sentences that were really useful, and the rest was just about how confident he was in Song Xiaoye. Confident that she will get the leading role for her and make her a rising star in Hollywood.

Feeling dizzy, Song Xiaoye understood why everyone outside signed the contract just now.

"Mr. Benton," Song Xiaoye heaved a sigh of relief when Richard finally stopped talking, "I will sign this contract."

Watching Song Xiaoye sign the name, Richard immediately laughed.

Withdrawing the contract, after carefully reviewing and stamping the red stamp, he immediately pushed over a piece of information, "Look at this, if there is no problem, go to the audition tomorrow. Although this movie was made at a low cost, the director I know it well, so it should be fine."

Scared by Richard's move, although Song Xiaoye signed the contract, she didn't expect to receive the job immediately.

After looking down carefully, I realized that this is an independent film.The role she wants to fight for should be a very small role, the protagonist's Asian neighbor, and she didn't say how many scenes there will be, nor whether she will have any lines.

"Richard, is this—a job I got after I called you yesterday?"

Richard didn't answer her immediately, but just looked at her and pursed his lips solemnly, "Song, we are a very professional brokerage company."

She is very professional, and she was really surprised that she was able to get a job within 24 hours.

With a big smile, Richard leaned slightly closer, "The entire New York, no, the entire American film industry, knows that I'm the best one to find an actor."

Professional walk-on? !
The corners of her eyes twitched, Song Xiaoye stared at Richard who still had a smug smile on his face, and really didn't know what to say.

No wonder the company has been in such a crappy building, and the signed actors are all dissatisfied. It's because this self-professional agent has no self-motivation at all!

However, it doesn't matter whether the agent is self-motivated or not, as long as she is self-motivated.

For the audition, Song Xiaoye made a point of time, just after finishing the reading class, she grabbed her backpack and ran away.

When I took the subway, caught the bus, and arrived at the audition location, the timing was just right.I didn't delay today's class, nor did I miss the audition time.

Feeling a little complacent, she took out the mirror from her backpack and looked at it carefully before she took a step forward.

"Hey, don't block the way..."

Huh? !

Turning back suddenly, Song Xiaoye looked at the young man behind him, and couldn't help but stare wide-eyed.

Isn't this the Fujiki I've seen before? !What is he doing here?
Turning her head to look at the note on the door, Song Xiaoye suddenly swallowed.

"You, aren't you going to audition too? This role..."

"No one said that the character must be a woman—you look again!" Fujiki gave Song Xiaoye a cold look, and walked straight through.
