Chapter 242 Ups and Downs
Are you envious? Jealousy? Is it embarrassing?
Hmm.
The answer is yes, James Franco doesn't mind admitting it. In addition, there are countless emotions such as surprise, surprise, regret, chagrin, etc.
For a moment, I felt a little dazed.
It was difficult for words to accurately describe his emotions, and all kinds of feelings rushed to his mind. For a moment, James wanted to turn around and flee the scene——
Damn it.
However, James still controlled himself.
Despite being jealous, jealous to the point of burning in the stomach, the character he dreamed of fell into the hands of Anson. That was Peter Parker, and that was Spider-Man!
But... after taking a long breath and tilting his head to look at Anson, James sighed in annoyance and annoyance, and finally walked towards Anson.
While shaking his head and muttering "I hate you", he stopped in front of Anson and Brad, looked up and down, with a confused expression on his face, "It doesn't make sense, how could they choose you, leaving a super guy like me alone?" Handsome guys don’t choose.” Then his eyes met Anson’s.
"I hate you. Sincerely." James emphasized again solemnly.
While opening his arms and giving Anson a hug, harder and harder, he was still mumbling, "It must be because I am too handsome. There is no way. Peter Parker can't be too handsome, right?" Well, in this case, I will reluctantly accept it," and then said close to Anson's ear.
"Congratulations."
After a pause, James took a deep breath and repeated, "Congratulations, brother."
Anson is not James, and he cannot 100% understand James' feelings, but he knows that this is not an easy task.
Rarely, Anson also gave James a hug.
A smile crept up the corner of his mouth, "So, this means that we are going to work together. What should we do? Are you ready for your acting skills and charm to be double crushed?"
James was stunned for a moment, and it took him a moment to see Anson's confident smile, "Get out!"
As soon as he said it, he realized that he didn't refute it immediately, and his momentum had already dropped. , "If you want to crush me, I will crush you too. Don't you know that in the original comic, I am the school's heartthrob?" Jiu Wai Wai Wai Wai Wai defended himself, but found Anson's expression of comforting the child:
Yes, yes, everything you said is right.
James looked up at the sky with a look of despair, feeling annoyed and regretful, as if he was reflecting on life.
Brad finally woke up from the joy and madness, blinking his eyes, "Wait, this means that you two are about to star in a rival show?"
Picture the scene in your mind. .
“Haha, hahaha, that must be funny, can I be in the first row to watch?”
"Report, apply for a visit!"
"I want to watch you perform your rivalry in the front row, and see who laughs first, haha."
There was a commotion and a booing.
Finally, it became quiet, and Anson and Edgar came to the garden.
Edgar couldn't help but look at the garden in front of him. It had been half a year since he last came here. Things seemed to have not changed but at the same time they seemed to have been transformed.
"Hey, Captain, are you ready?"
A voice came to his ears. Edgar came back to his senses and subconsciously followed the voice. Smiling Anson.
The autumn sunshine dappled through the treetops and fell on Anson's shoulders like a butterfly. The smile looked quiet and gentle, different from the smiles on red carpets, magazines, and parties. Friendly and warm yet clear and bright, people can't help but raise the corners of their mouths.
Stunned, Edgar quickly cleared his throat to cover up his distraction, "What are you preparing for?" "Sign the contract." Anson raised the signature pen in his hand and shook it slightly.
Edgar was stunned again, all sounds stuck in his throat.
Anson did not receive a response, but he did not mind. Instead, he stretched out his right hand, "Captain Cook, are you willing to be my agent?"
Edgar quietly said Looking at Anson's right hand, a rainbow fell on it from the sunlight falling down, firmly catching his sight.
At the beginning, he chose a risk, chose to believe Anson, chose to trust his own judgment, chose to bet all his career on this young man, and risked Anson's life without signing a contract. The photos were stuffed into a brown paper bag and sent to Sony Columbia.
Now, everything proves that his choice was correct.
Moreover, Edgar had a hunch that this was just the beginning.
So, Edgar stood up and solemnly held Anson's right hand, "My pleasure."
Anson looked around, "So, where do I need to be? "Sign the deed of betrayal? Before my lawyer stops me, I can sign a date." "Haha." Edgar smiled completely, "Don't worry, I will make sure everything is in order." After all, I don’t want you to terminate my contract due to contract issues and then fall into the arms of innovative artists. Then my career as an agent may be dead.”
Anyway, there was no contract before. Now, Edgar has been busy for a whole month, so there is no need to rush for a day or two.
Of course, there was still some worry deep down in his heart. If Anson won the role of "Spider-Man" but then turned around and signed with other agents and agencies, Edgar's work would be in vain; but he still chose to believe in Anson.
As for today——
"Now, we need to sit down and talk about the issue of remuneration." Edgar motioned for Anson to take a seat.
Anson was a little surprised, "Do we have any bargaining chips?"
Edgar showed a shallow smile, full of confidence, "They chose you, and it was a unanimous choice. , this is our bargaining chip.”
"We," Edgar liked to say, was finally on track for his career as a Hollywood entertainment agent.
“Actually, after Sam Raimi confirmed to take over ‘Spider-Man’, Sony Columbia has confirmed the candidate for Peter Parker, Edward Furlong, do you know him?”
E Degas inadvertently dropped the bombshell. This was the first time Anson knew the secret. He nodded, "Of course, 'Terminator 2', who doesn't know about it?"
Anson has always known it. It is believed that Tobey Maguire is the first choice for Peter Parker, but so far, this name has not appeared at all, and it seems that it has not joined the competition at all; but now it is learned that Edward Furlong has already Is this the first generation of Spider-Man?
Breaking news!
In 1991, "Terminator 2" was released. Edward Furlong, who played the role of the young savior, stunned the big screen and became famous overnight at the age of only fourteen. However, his mother, aunt, and uncle fought for his custody - and It was the fierce competition for interests that, like Macaulay Culkin, completely ruined Edward's career. The young star fell into a quagmire after that.
Edgar shrugged lightly, "But not long after it was confirmed, he went to jail. Sony Columbia terminated the contract as soon as possible."
"Jail?"
"Well, the same as Robert Downey Jr.. Just because everyone is talking about Robert Downey Jr., the Edward Furlong news didn't make a splash."
Future "Iron Man" Robert Downey Jr. is currently at the worst and darkest point of his career. At the end of last year, he was arrested for the second time in three years on charges of white powder, illegal gun possession, etc. This time he was arrested. He was sentenced to three years and became a topic of conversation after dinner.
It seems that Edward Furlong is also facing the same dilemma.
Edgar continued, “Sony Columbia didn’t like this negative news and completely blocked it, so they don’t want this project to be in trouble again, causing the paparazzi to dig up the news about Edward Furlong again. ”
Third update.
