Chapter 70 Circus Performance
Work in the entertainment industry is erratic, not just for actors, but also for directors, screenwriters, photographers, lighting, etc.:
Working on one project at a time may require you to be busy For a few months, you can earn a generous salary; but then you may enter a long rest period, and you are not sure when the next job will come, and you are not sure whether your last income can support you until the next opportunity. 's appearance.
So.
In Hollywood, many actors - even famous actors who have played leading roles in movies, have to change careers in order to make a living.
Surprisingly, a large number of them choose to become...real estate agents, specializing in recommending top luxury homes to Hollywood stars.
Can this be considered an ecological extension of the entertainment industry?
After the filming of "Friends" ended and there was no next job for the time being, Anson went into rest/vacation mode, sleeping until he woke up naturally.
Some are not used to it. After all, he has long been accustomed to a non-stop lifestyle. Sleeping in has become a luxury, but Ansen feels that——
He should be able to adapt to such a life.
Get up, wash up, and go downstairs.
Looking around the living room, there was only the back of James sitting cross-legged in front of the TV and playing games. Pulling his beard made him look like a savage.
Anson asked, "Where are the guests?"
James, "Garden."
Anson replied, "Thank you."
James paused the game and turned back to Anson and shouted, "Anson, be careful, don't be easily fooled by these guys' sweet talk. If you need me, I'll be here."
The corners of Anson's mouth rose, " I noticed the baseball bat."
James patted the baseball bat next to him and joked, "Believe me, I can hit a home run at any time. I am a baseball genius."
Anson also replied with a smile on his face, "I have taken notes and will pass them on to the Dodgers scouts later."
As he spoke, he pushed open the door on the west side of the hall, and his footsteps were already Standing in the garden.
The design of this villa is slightly different. The garden and front yard are not located at both ends of the main house. The front yard is on the south side and the garden is on the west side. The two spaces are just connected to form a ninety-degree green wall. Surrounding the main house, the shade trees in the front yard shelter the garden.
Because of this, the garden does not plant tall trees, but mainly lilacs, shrubs, and flowers. It is a small garden in the true sense, with not only deck chairs and round tables, but also a barbecue grill, where people gather in summer evenings It is definitely a pleasure to have a party in the shade here, with barbecue and beer.
Opening the side door, you can see the small garden at a glance, and you can see Edgar at a loss at a glance——
There are only beach loungers in the garden.
Usually, they come here just to rest and relax, either sunbathing on idle afternoons or holding parties on cloudless nights.
Naturally, beach loungers are the best furniture, but obviously, this is not a suitable place for office discussions.
James must have had ulterior motives for arranging for Edgar to come and wait in the garden.
Edgar was sitting on the recliner, a little cramped and nervous. It was okay at first, but after waiting and waiting, there was no sign of Anson appearing. After relaxing a little, he became more and more nervous. Tensing up, he tried to relax himself, adjusted his sitting posture, and found a position where he could relax.
I leaned back slightly. It took me a while to realize that the backrest was completely flat. I still couldn’t find a supporting back. At this time, I tried to use the strength of my waist and abdomen to control the center of gravity, but it was already too much. Chi, suddenly leaned back and forth, his center of gravity flipped over, and he lay down with a thud.
A little bit later, the whole person was lying flat on his back.
At the last moment, in a flurry of scrambling, I managed to support the recliner with my elbows, thus avoiding the embarrassment of being thrown upside down.
Then.
Edgar saw Anson.
“Ah, I’m sorry.”
Edgar was extremely panicked, embarrassed and embarrassed. He tried to use his hands and feet to support himself and sit up again, but the more anxious he became, the more he became confused, and his hands and feet were helpless. The ground was waving in the air, like a scarab beetle that had rolled over. Its cheeks were red and its head was sweating profusely, but it still couldn't turn over.
This...
Ansen was also full of surprise. Before he even had time to say hello, an acrobatic act was performed in front of him.
As a host, it is so embarrassing to let guests perform a show. Seeing that Edgar was about to capsize the boat and fall from the beach chair to the ground when he rolled sideways, Anson quickly stepped forward and extended his right hand to provide support.
Edgar quickly grabbed Anson's right hand and used his strength to find the center of gravity before rolling to the ground, finally avoiding the tragedy of overturning.
Well.
With a squatting and standing movement, Edgar stood up quickly, showed a smile, and pretended to be calm and stretched out his right hand again, ready to greet.
"Edgar Cook."
But the words were not finished yet, because he stood up too fast, a burst of blood boiled, he was dizzy, and then he staggered back. Go down.
Anson's face was full of astonishment. Seeing Edgar's figure fading away, he quickly stretched out his right hand again to try to save him.
However.
This time, Edgar flapped his hands vigorously like an octopus. After half a beat, he recovered in time, flapped his hands vigorously and regained his center of gravity. Although his steps were slightly messy, he retreated two hours. After taking a few steps, he still controlled himself and barely stood firm, as if he finally felt the gravity.
Look up.
Edgar panted and looked at Anson's outstretched right hand, "It seems that I did not become a figure skater. This is a wise choice."
This...
But thinking about it carefully, the busy scene just now is indeed like a failed figure skating performance.
The smile on Anson's lips fully blossomed, "Anyway, welcome to the show-business."
With a joke, the whole atmosphere instantly relaxed.
Edgar took a long breath and wiped the real sweat from his forehead, "So, I think we should start from the beginning."
Cleared his throat, straightened his back, He solemnly extended his right hand and said, "Edgar Cook."
Despite being embarrassed, despite being embarrassed, despite being trapped.
But the miraculous thing is that when Edgar stretched out his right hand again, he had regained his composure and was not at all restrained by the episode just now.
There is a sense of confidence and determination in his eyes.
Somewhat interesting.
Following the last meeting, another meeting further confirmed Anson’s idea.
Anson also extended his right hand and formally shook hands and greeted, "Anson Wood."
Then, Edgar took out his business card from his pocket and handed it over, "I am an agent from William Moore. Reese."
Anson paused slightly -
He remembered Edgar, of course he did; and, he also remembered that he had accepted Edgar's business card, the episode that night. Very impressed.
However, today Edgar was still as if he were meeting for the first time, not only making a formal introduction, but also handing over his business card?
Thoughts swirled in my mind.
Anson reached out to take the business card and made it clear, "Captain Cook, right? I remember you, and this is not the first time you handed me a business card."
Eh Degas's expression relaxed, "Oh, you still remember me."
Anson looked at the business card carefully again, "Of course. I said, if necessary, I will call you, but I don't Remember I called you.”
Get straight to the point.
First update.
