Chapter 165 Fair Competition
Compared with Charles's slightly niche job, Nora's job is relatively "ordinary", not much different from what the general public knows.
Plan theme concepts, budget and secure funds, contact artists to select artworks, plan exhibitions and write copy, and promote exhibitions.
That’s probably it.
There is nothing novel or special, but Nora’s real strength lies in planning and communication, showing the ability of an elite management, and has successfully held many amazing exhibitions in New York over the past few years.
Even the Metropolitan Museum of Art collaborated with Nora to curate three exhibitions, establishing her position in the industry and one that cannot be underestimated.
The most amazing thing is that both Charles and Nora have jobs that require traveling around, but the two couples divide the work and work together very happily. They are always able to ensure the time as much as possible, and they are personally responsible for the two Children's education -
Especially Lucas.
When the original owner was born, although the Woods continued their previous education policy, one of them went on business trips and the other stayed in New York as much as possible, it was inevitable that Lucas would share part of the work, which was also the case. Because of this, the two Wood brothers are particularly emotionally close.
Later, after changing several housekeepers, they finally found Judy.
With Judy's help, the Woods are more open to opening up the situation. Their careers have developed smoothly over the years, and they are no better than Lucas, who has started his career in full swing. On the contrary, Anson, who has not yet fully grown up, is the most leisurely——
I have been eating at home.
It is worth mentioning that Darren Star got to know the Wood family because of Nora. At one time, their residences were only one street apart; later, he got help from Charles because of his home in New York. The distance and friendship over the years have settled, and Darren has indeed watched Anson grow up.
I don’t know whether Nora went to Paris this time to contact artists or to cooperate with other art galleries and museums to plan a joint exhibition, but judging from Julie’s few words, the former is more likely.
Artists have distinctive personalities, and Nora is not sure how long it will take for things to be settled, and this is especially true for French artists.
By the way, Nora is French.
Judy looked at Anson, "If it were earlier, you could see Mrs. Wood. So, how long are you prepared to stay, maybe you can wait for them to come back."
Anson thinks back to the sea Den's experience, and recalling the ups and downs in the preparation stage of "Spider-Man", he couldn't give a definite answer, "I don't know. I came here for an audition this time, and the schedule needs to be adjusted according to the audition situation. The initiative is not in my hands."
"Audition?" Judy looked up and down again and smiled happily, "I finally feel like an actor now."
Anson Ying. He looked at me with surprise on his face, "Why, haven't you watched 'Friends'?"
"My parents didn't watch it, but I did." Judy told the truth and did not use lies to make Anson happy.
Anson was not surprised. The Woods probably thought that Anson's three-minute enthusiasm was just for fun. In addition, they themselves were busy with work, so they didn't take it to heart.
Anson could not remember the last time the Woods turned on the television.
Despite this, Anson still deliberately showed a sad expression and shook his head repeatedly.
Judy chuckled lightly, "I thought you didn't care about these things." Even so, she comforted her, "When the movie comes out, we will go to the cinema to watch it together. The big screen will still be different. ”
"To be honest, when you watch it on the small TV screen, it's a little magical and a little unreal. It doesn't feel special. The role is basically your true self. Haha, I'm still looking forward to future movies."
This is the truth.
So, everyone is eager to be on the big screen.
Anson shrugged lightly, "Then I need to win this audition first."
Judy said without any hesitation, "You can do it."
Anson couldn't help but laugh, "Judy, you don't even know what role it is."
Judy asked back, "Do I need to know?"
The light in those eyes Full of determination, unconditional belief and support.
The smile paused slightly at the corner of Anson's mouth, and then bloomed. He gestured to Judy, "I have the same idea as you."
"However, if If I want to perform well in the audition, I need to let this gentleman do his job well.”
Turning around, Anson gestured to Edgar. He had not forgotten this key figure.
"Judy, please take him to the guest room. He may need a network cable, a fax machine and other tools that I can't list at the moment."
"Captain, you don't have Question?”
After the brief explanation, Anson finally looked at Edgar. Edgar finally came to his senses and regained his sanity after digesting the huge amount of information. He had no time to visit the house and returned his attention to work——
Auditions matter.
"No problem." Edgar nodded towards Anson and made a gesture.
In the other room, Judy took Edgar to the guest room.
In this room, Anson sat down in the living room and took out his mobile phone to edit text messages.
The text message was just sent, and the reply came within fifteen seconds.
"Hey, bro, are you ready? I'm coming to New York to compete with you head-on."
"Shut up!!!!"
See a series of exclamation points in the reply , as if I could vividly see the vivid and vivid expression on James Franco's face. The text messages evolved into language, with their own emoticons. A smile couldn't help but creep up the corners of his mouth, and a low laughter surged deep in his throat.
Immediately afterwards, James sent a series of text messages in succession.
“Real or fake?”
"Man, are you kidding?"
"When are you coming to New York?"
Anson only had time to reply, "The plane just landed."
This It was enough, and the phone immediately began to vibrate continuously.
“Wow!”
"Wow!!!"
This is Hollywood, roles are not owned, every actor can compete, and it is common for good friends to compete for the same role.
Having said that, when Edgar told Anson that he was going to audition for "Spider-Man", Anson's mind immediately thought of James.
To be precise, this is not the first time.
In Anson, they also share audition information with each other, and it has happened several times that several people went to audition together for the same role.
After all, judging from their current position, any audition opportunity is extremely precious. They have no room for pickiness. It is a good thing for anyone to get a performance opportunity.
Of course, this audition opportunity may be slightly different, but the essence is still the same.
When Anson determined that he was ready to accept the challenge, he had already decided to inform James that they would compete head-on.
At this time, looking at James' text message, you can notice his surprise and excitement, and Anson also became eager to try.
"Sorry, brother, the role does not belong to you."
James, "Hahaha. Anson, that's good, that's the funniest joke I've heard this year."
Anson, "Oh, you can still laugh, then I'm relieved, I'm still I'm worried that you might lose control after hearing the news."
James, "Grass."
James, "Anson, this is highly confidential, but you are about to lose. For my sake, my agent is determined to win this time. I have already met with the producer in private. Don’t blame me for not reminding you. When you hear the news of losing, remember to look up at the sky and don’t let tears stay. "
Anson, "It seems that you have a lot of experience in failure and already know how to deal with grief, so I'm relieved."
Anson, "I hope the person with the better performance wins the role."
James, "Me too."
First update.
