Chapter 19: Stay Drunk
Chris's attention was completely on the phone, and he didn't notice the movement around him at all. He still plugged his ear holes with the fingers of his left hand, trying to hear clearly the words on the other side of the phone.
Then.
I suddenly covered my mouth with my left hand and used all my strength to control my urge to scream and cheer, but my body could not help but jump.
Nod hard, nod crazily.
The whole place was completely silent.
Anson quickly reminded, "Speak, Chris, speak."
Chris then realized that they were talking on the phone. Just nodding and saying nothing, the other party couldn't understand it at all, so he quickly put down his left hand. , spoke with great energy, exploding like thunder on the ground, "Okay, no problem... Of course, okay, okay, no problem!"
The eager and excited expression was so real and so vivid.
The call ended in less than twenty seconds.
Chris raised his head, his eyes filled with incredible astonishment and excitement. He glanced around, looking at the faces, and finally looked at Anson.
“I got the part.”
My voice was distorted because I was so excited.
But, who cares?
Anson was the first to clenched his fists, raised his arms and shouted, "Hit the target!"
Chris could no longer control himself and jumped three feet high, using every cell in his body to convey joy. This was his first role in three years. He had doubted himself countless times, tossed and turned countless times, and tried to give up countless times. But in the end, he waited for his first chance.
"Chris, Chris, what work?" James had already started to rub his hands, his obscene expression was like a fly rubbing his hands, but they all knew:
James was rubbing his hands. I'm looking for an excuse to increase the amount of money. I'm looking for a perfect excuse not to get drunk or go home tonight.
Chris was slightly shy and glanced at Anson -
Compared with "Friends", all other works pale in comparison.
But Anson gave Chris an encouraging look, and Chris didn't hesitate, "'The Fugitive,' a character in one of the episodes in the first season."
"The Fugitive," 1963 ABC TV A series of dramas was later adapted into a movie in 1993, starring Harrison Ford, who won seven Oscar nominations, and became widely known. This was also the first step in the history of mainland China to introduce movies.
This year, CBS TV station once again tried to adapt it into a drama series.
As soon as he heard this, James immediately became excited, "Oh, the first role is the villain. Now, Chris must treat me. Of course, there is also Anson. There is no reason not to drink tonight. Listen to me. , We must celebrate tonight, we should not waste such a beautiful day..."
Seth silently complained, "Alcohol, alcohol, alcohol, it will always be alcohol in the end, right?"
< br>
Anson added, "For James, there are women."
Boom!
A roar of laughter.
In the heat of joy, Anson looked at Chris and showed a smile, "It seems that Laura and Natalie are also impressed by you this time."
"Haha. "Chris laughed heartily, raised his hands high, and shouted, "Alcohol! Alcohol!"
Don't go home until you're drunk.
Youth is like that.
Laugh loudly and cry loudly, ups and downs, ups and downs, firmly grasp every moment of life, and use all your strength to enjoy and squander.
Of course, the price is——
A splitting headache. The morning after the hangover, every step was like the tip of a knife dancing wildly. I used my whole body to feel what it was like when Sun Wukong caused havoc in the Dragon Palace. It was overwhelming.
But after a simple shower, my body and mind recovered. I couldn't even remember how many hours of sleep I had last night, and I felt as refreshed as possible.
It turns out that this is eighteen years old.
It has been so long since he turned eighteen that Anson has forgotten what being eighteen is like. No wonder James and the others play so crazy.
Carnivals and parties are all left in yesterday, no, left in the early hours of this morning. When the sun rises, it is a new day and we continue to be busy.
From yesterday to today, things have happened one after another, fulfilling and busy, fresh and energetic, as if my mental state has returned to the age of eighteen.
In the early morning, the cloudless sky appears clear and translucent. There is no impurity on the clean sky, so that the horizon extends infinitely into the distance, the world becomes vast and vast, and the mood becomes smoother.
Open the car window, the breeze is blowing, the tall palm trees and the golden sunshine fill your vision. The tiredness of the hangover has disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye. You look as refreshed as you did last night It felt like I had slept for a full twelve hours, and there were no dark circles under my eyes at all. Youth is indeed my capital.
After turning a corner, the vehicle entered the underground parking lot. It took no effort to find a parking space, and then walked towards the elevator.
This is Anson’s first visit to the Screen Actors Guild.
This building is located on Wilshere Avenue, not far from the Hayworth Theater yesterday afternoon. From the outside, it looks like an ordinary office building. When you pass by on weekdays, you won't notice it at all. In Los Angeles There is nothing visible in those neat buildings.
However, this is the largest actor organization in North America, and to some extent, it is also one of the cores of Hollywood.
Not all actors have exclusive agents, and not all actors are willing to join a union, but for fledgling actors, the existence of a union can guarantee their basic rights and interests.
In order to protect the interests of actors and avoid the emergence of hidden rules, the union will not only send representatives to monitor the audition process of casting companies, but also send public agents to sign contracts for actors who do not have an agent for the time being. .
Although this cannot eliminate the existence of hidden rules, nor can it avoid the filth in the entire industry, and the unequal relationship represented by power can never be completely eliminated; but compared with Hollywood thirty years ago, The entire industry has been regulated to protect the individual rights of actors as much as possible.
Darren Star admitted that he was caught off guard by David Klein's whim. Everything happened too fast and suddenly.
Originally, Darren thought that Anson was just playing for tickets, and maybe he would no longer be interested in the performance after one performance. He was just out of curiosity, so he didn't rush to make arrangements.
What’s the result?
Things were like a tornado. Without paying attention, they had already arrived in the land of Oz.
Although Darren immediately asked his lawyer to help review the contract, it is more convenient to go through the labor union for the specific signing——
Of course, Darren can immediately find a gold medal agent for Anson, or his own agent can make a temporary guest appearance for Anson.
However, the commission of the five major Hollywood agencies is also the highest in the industry, 10%. In business negotiations, there is no negotiation, including his agent. The brothers will settle the score.
Moreover, in a hurry, the agent you find casually may not be willing to do his best.
So, after comprehensive consideration, Darren believes that this contract should be signed through the labor union first. Anyway, it is just a guest performance contract for one episode.
After it’s over, we’ll see what Anson’s wishes are. If Anson is ready to continue playing with the tickets, or is really interested, Darren will help pull the strings.
So, Anson came.
I should have fallen asleep around four to five o'clock this morning, but before nine-thirty in the morning, Anson had already appeared at the Screen Actors Guild——
Coming to sign a contract.
