Chapter 156 House of Flying Daggers
Maybe Harry Smith is not keen enough in selecting works, but no one can deny that his abilities in other aspects are indeed outstanding.
In a flash of lightning, the thoughts in Harry's mind quickly unfolded.
He was 100% sure that he had browsed through the list of thirty-six alternate actors, and if he saw Anson's name, he would not be unresponsive.
His brain instantly caught an idea. Although it was not clear enough and had no evidence, it was just a feeling, but Harry still turned his head to look at Edgar.
"Is it you?"
Harry's final voice rose, full of doubts, speculations, intimidation, threats, oppression and other mixed emotions. In just one sentence, it caused ripples.
Edgar is not surprised that his little trick may be discovered. After all, everyone here is an old fritter. They have used all the tricks that are not on the table. They are much more experienced than Edgar. A little bit more You can see the truth when you calm down.
What surprised him was that it was so fast?
Harry's words disrupted Edgar's position.
Before Edgar could respond, Harry turned to look at the other people in the conference room.
“This is Anson Wood, Darren Star’s nephew/nephew. Not long ago, Darren came to me and hoped that I could sign him. I met him once.”
< br>"I am very sure and certain that his name is not included in the actor waiting list we submitted..."
Buzz.
The air vibrated slightly.
No one spoke, and no one was surprised. Such a method was just a sprinkle of water in Vanity Fair, but all eyes were on Edgar -
Exploring, sizing up, vigilant, joking, admiring.
The posture of a superior observing a juggler from a high position instantly surrounded Edgar, and his sharp and hot gaze made his skin slightly hot.
At this time, Edgar stood firm and calmed down.
Maybe Harry has guessed the truth, maybe not yet; but it is no longer important now, because the real key in front of him is not here.
then.
"It's me."
Edgar interrupted Harry's words.
Harry: ...
Obviously, Harry did not expect Edgar to interrupt him, and even less expected that Edgar would look at the audience but ignore him. .
At William Morris, such situations are rare.
Harry frowned and was about to continue speaking and regain control of the situation, but this time, Edgar took the lead.
“I secretly stuffed Anson’s profile into a brown paper bag and sent it to Sony Columbia.”
The truth?
Edgar doesn't mind, he will reveal it himself.
Without flinching, without being nervous, without being timid, Edgar raised his head, looked around confidently, and welcomed all the gazes calmly.
"I believe in Anson's potential, I believe Harry made a mistake in not signing Anson, and I believe we should go all out to seize this opportunity."
——"Spider-Man", That's what matters most.
While Harry was still struggling with the so-called "truth", Edgar had gone straight to the point. No one cared about how Anson's introduction appeared in the brown paper bag. The only thing they needed to care about was William Mo. Will Reese be able to beat out other competitors to take advantage of this opportunity.
If Anson fails, they can settle the score later.
But what if Anson succeeds?
Ambushed from all sides, so what, Edgar relied on his courage and courage to fight his way out and gain a chance for himself.
All eyes were focused on Edgar.
Harry's breath was stuck in his throat, and he couldn't swallow it or spit it out. The whole thing was so sudden and unexpected, packed into just thirty seconds.
Harry, "You know this is against the rules, and you know you have no right to participate in these decisions..."
In fact, Harry was not alone.
All of the agents in front of me have been through Edgar's situation. They have worked hard to get to where they are now, and they are not doing it just for others to mess with them.
One voice, "That list is the result of our careful consideration."
Two voices, "I don't think we should just randomly choose an actor we don't know." Three voices, "There are rules here. If you don't like it, the door is there and you know how to leave."
In an instant, Edgar became the target of public criticism.
However, this did not go beyond Edgar's expectations.
He will never be beaten passively.
Edgar firmly faced the provocative and critical eyes and threw a heavy blow, "Sony Colombia does not like your plan."
A slap in the face, loud.
Then, the conference room fell silent.
Edgar was not sluggish, but firmly grasped this rare pure time. Not only did he not flinch, but he also took two steps forward slightly, exposing himself to everyone's vision so that they could see him clearly. expressions and eyes.
"Here's the thing, you can reject my idea, you can reject Ian Bryce's call, I can turn around and leave right now."
"Believe me, I Know where the company door is. ”
Smile.
"But equally, other competitors also know where the door to our company is. If Ian Bryce hadn't been able to get Anson from us, what do you think he would have done?"
"Of course, William -Morris is a large company with endless resources; but you have come up with thirty-six candidates from your own resources, as you said, thirty-six candidates carefully considered and carefully selected, and you think Can the second list be better? "
"So, when Ian Bryce saw the second list - there was still no Anson, and then he inadvertently thought of Anson again, what next? "
"I guess Ian Bryce should be able to find Anson's phone number, but I don't think it will be William Morris who stands in the middle to make the connection and start the visit. "
Attack.
The smile was still on his lips, but his eyes were particularly bright, and Edgar also showed his confidence.
In the silence, Brian finally spoke, "The prerequisite for all this is based on Anson's specialness. Do you believe so much that he can get the role? Can you guarantee that Anson will stand out in the end? ”
Affirmative?
Or negative?
So, is Brian waiting for Edgar to issue a military order?
Edgar was not that stupid, "No."
He replied in the negative.
"I have faith in Anson, 100 percent, but that's one thing; the follow-up development of the audition is another thing, and I can't make any guarantees."
"For now. As far as I'm concerned, the only thing I know is that Ian Bryce needs Anson, and Anson is William Morris' only hope at the moment."
Confident, but not blind.
Passionate, but not impulsive.
Even in a chaotic situation, Edgar still keeps a clear mind and firmly controls the situation.
Brian looked at Edgar. Edgar did not avoid his gaze. His eyes were clear and bright, and time seemed to stand still for a short time.
One second? Or ten seconds?
Brian nodded slightly, "You take Anson and leave for New York immediately."
boom!
It was noisy.
“Brian?”
“This is a bad decision.”
“It shouldn’t be like this.”
But Brian didn't pay attention at all, raised his right hand, and asked everyone to be quiet, "This is the final decision, who Ian Bryce wants, we have no reason not to give him. That's how it was decided, let's break up the meeting."< br>
After finishing speaking, Brian turned around and left the conference room without stopping, decisively making a final decision on the whole matter.
Second update.
