Chapter 87 Wait and see what happens
"You will be like Natalie. Your name will be next to Mel's. What could be better than this?"
This One sentence is enough and very representative.
When Harry spoke, there was a proud and confident light on Harry's face. He thought it would be great if Anson could reach the heights of Natalie Portman or Mel Gibson.
Although it is slightly different from Edgar's expectations, the conclusion is the same.
The ceiling in Harry's cognition exists and is visible to the naked eye. He has no imagination or creativity, but it doesn't matter if it's just that -
Anyway, Anson doesn't need the creativity of an agent, he himself Scripts could be picked, as long as Harry could get the part for him.
But the problem is that there was an incident during the meeting.
Anson did not mention Edgar or the details of Edgar's prediction, but mentioned the episode on the phone.
“The meeting didn’t last long, it should have been less than three minutes, and then Harry started to get busy.”
"First there was a call from Michael Bay. There was a problem with the project he was preparing. Harry needed to deal with it and calm the director's impatience."
If nothing else, it should be "Pearl Harbor", a budget film The US$130 million work is known as the most expensive war movie in history, and it has attracted the attention of the entire Hollywood from the project establishment stage.
“Then there was Natalie Portman. It seemed that there was no news about an audition for a long time. Natalie was impatient with waiting. Harry had to comfort Natalie on the phone. And told her that the answer was coming soon, and she just needed to wait patiently for a while."
"I saw that he was very busy, so I found a gap to thank him for taking the time to meet, and then left."
Objectively speaking, Anson is not Harry's client yet. He does not need to be responsible for Anson. Of course, he should give priority to his own clients.
But the principle of social situations is another matter. After Darren introduced and determined the meeting time, Harry should at least show an attitude -
A five-minute or ten-minute meeting will not Can't end.
On the one hand, it shows that Harry has no say in front of big names like Michael Bay and Natalie.
On the other hand, it shows that Harry did not accurately judge the priorities of things.
Of course, maybe this is Harry's style. He does everything himself and pays the highest attention to it, which establishes his bond with customers; but this means that if you need to choose between Anson and other customers If so, obviously Harry's first choice would not be Anson.
So Anson left.
Darren is a smart man. Judging from Anson's simple description in a few words, he raised his chin slightly and was a little dissatisfied with Harry's reaction and attitude -
No matter what, Anson deserves one. Ten minutes meeting.
But Darren didn't say anything, "What about Eric? Innovative artists have always opened the door to all new actors in Hollywood, and I believe they should be very much looking forward to your arrival."
Anson Points Head said, "In fact, it is true. They gave me a warm welcome. Not only Eric, but also two agents were present. For me, a newcomer, it was really flattering."
Darren's eyebrows stretched. Although Anson couldn't see it through the phone, he showed some satisfaction. Regardless of whether he could cooperate or not, at least his attitude could tell a company's corporate culture.
Darren smiled and said, "They treat all new actors the same. There is no need to feel special because their company's special agent is responsible for culture. Generally speaking, an actor has three to five agents. One of them is mainly responsible for the meeting, so all three will be present during the meeting."
Laughter surged deep in Anson's throat, "Uncle Darren, have you forgotten what I just told you? , I don’t think they were the right choice either.”
Darren didn’t mind either, “So I guess you must have a better reason to reject them.”
Anson, “They have. Lots of sounds.”
Darren did not interrupt Anson and listened patiently.
Anson, "I know that 'Friends' is just the beginning, a beginning not worth mentioning. It doesn't even take half a year. After two months, the audience may forget me, and no one in Hollywood cares. I need a Planning." "So, I asked Eric what piece I should choose next."
"They... had a lot of voices, but I didn't think so. They have an idea."
Darren raised his chin slightly, "But you should know that most agents don't have an idea at the beginning. They plan a career, but Hollywood may not be able to follow it. They respond to ideas, so they need to try from the beginning, try and fail, and seize every opportunity so that they can have a start.”
"Countless superstars, at the beginning, they did not have the right to choose."
Anson agreed, but also disagreed, "But Uncle Darren, they are innovative artists, they have the right to choose, if they have With a plan, they can create opportunities."
"Of course, whether the opportunity can be grasped and realized as expected is another matter."
The point is. The thing is, they have many voices but no plan.
Darren understood immediately. He did not completely agree. He felt that Anson was still a little arrogant, full of longing for the future and full of confidence in himself, but Darren was not surprised——
< br>
At eighteen years old, I still believe that the world belongs to me.
What Darren is really curious about is, "Anson, from what you just said, it seems that you already have a plan?"
As expected, the old fox is different.
Anson laughed heartily. If he knew exactly which works would be successful but didn't work hard for them, would that be considered a waste of resources?
“Have some ideas.”
"But, Uncle Darren, as you said, none of us can know whether our plan is genius or stupidity until the results come out."
"No matter what, you always need to try and see. Right?”
That’s it.
Darren understands this very well. Young people will never look back until they hit the wall. They always have to struggle on their own so that they can grow up.
Thinking in his mind, Darren said, "Let's do this, Anson, I will give Eric a call and communicate again. We will wait for a while and don't make a decision in a hurry. Agent This matter is indeed urgent if you say it is urgent, but you don’t need to be so anxious if you say it is not urgent.”
"Anyway, you should rest for a while now and don't rush to choose your next work. Maybe something new will happen during this time?"
"After all, we are all in Hollywood."
Darren’s words were mysterious. Anson could hear something in his words, but he couldn’t distinguish them clearly at the moment, and the information he had was limited.
Anson is not stubborn -
Indeed, innovative artists are indeed a good choice, and Eric also fits Anson’s imagination of an agent.
The two exchanged pleasantries for a while, and then Darren hung up the phone.
Darren did not rush, but waited for a few hours. After finishing the work at hand, Darren dialed David Klein's mobile phone.
"David, I have an idea, how about you come and listen to it?"
Third update.
