Chapter 236 Preparations for the Olympics 2

Jake was very fond of movies and also always wanted to act if given the opportunity, of course, he preferred many things before acting, but after suffering the accident that left him unable to walk in his past life and lose his mother, acting was one of few things Jake thought he could do.

But that didn't change the fact that he enjoyed acting and even trained for many years in his past life, so he had an easier time recording commercials that didn't require a skill.

Besides, it looked like this Miami beach party would have some Hollywood stars, as Jake had nothing to do It wasn't a bad idea to meet maybe some of his idols.

Jake had been invited by Cameron Crowe a Hollywood director who in addition to acting also wrote, Jake vaguely remembered him but was glad to have been invited no matter what the director wanted.

In fact, since Jake hardly ever left home if it wasn't for training or going to his mom's restaurant or school, besides, wherever he went it was by car, so Jake didn't know he was famous all over the country.

And that was even more so for Miami who always had Eric and other reporters talking about him, when Jake was younger he was just a very talented child, but in recent years he has recorded three television commercials and still appeared after coming to the first few two major marathon placements and tests for the Olympics this year.

Besides, Jake was very handsome and his friends even joked that he looked like a Hollywood actor, so it was impossible that he was not recognized, so it was appropriate for him to come to this party even more with the director's invitation.

So after two days, Jake went to the party, he was wearing a suit he had bought a few months as soon as he got the money from Matthew's company, after all, someone with millions of dollars in the bank account not having a decent suit was a disgrace.

Jake also thought of buying a better car, but eventually gave up on this idea, after all, he had his car less than a year and buying another was unnecessary, after all, no one knew that Jake was rich yet and an athlete usually did not earn much.

When Jake left home with the same suit Eva thought her son was very handsome, even more so than her husband from whom Jake inherited some of his looks, she was proud of her son being so and was glad Lola didn't see Jake in suit, otherwise, she would fall in love with him forever.

Jake came to the taxi party and when he entered the party everyone looked at Jake at least once, the women looked over and over and sometimes didn't even look away from him, Jake had arrived very early at the party so just stood in one corner from the hall and waited for others to arrive.

Jake, who was very shy with people he didn't know, felt a little lost in such an environment, even though it was a party, in fact, it looked more like a cocktail party where the music was just for accompaniment and the waiters carried trays everywhere.

Even though he was invited by director Crowe, Jake didn't really know what he was like despite knowing him by name, so Jake would have to wait until the director came to him while he waited. Jake tried to find someone famous at the party.

After all that was what he came to the party for, unfortunately, it didn't look like anyone famous had arrived at the party yet, thinking that it was normal for the most famous to arrive later at this party.

After a few minutes Jake had understood the purpose of this party, he had heard that many people here were directors and filmmakers and also had some business owners as well as young actors and actresses who were looking for an opportunity to become famous.

Jake wasn't interested in any of this, if he really wanted to he could become well known for being a director or writer of dozens of movies over the next 20 years just using his knowledge of the future.

But Jake thought that could be a lot of dishonesty, especially since he didn't need it and could get rich just by making the right investments in the stock market, but he wouldn't mind playing in some of these very successful movies.

Thinking about it he remembered that Titanic had started production now, it would be very nice if he could participate in a movie like this, it was impossible for him now because he could not spend several months shooting.

After a few more minutes Jake was having fun even though he didn't talk to anyone, many women here were interested in him, but most were married or were accompanying someone.

The young actresses were also more concerned with pleasing some producers and directors than talking to Jake even though he was handsome, so lucky for him that he wanted to be alone as soon as someone came near him with a glass of champagne in his hands.

"Not many beautiful women here? But these are not good places to meet someone, these women are often much more tempted by interests than by people."

Jake looked at the man who approached him, and just nodded and then looked away, this man was young and didn't look ten years older than Jake, so Jake thought he might be the director.

"I'm glad you came with my invitation."

"I appreciate the invitation, Director Crowe."

"I saw you that day when you were shooting those commercials, even though it wasn't very complicated scenes, I was impressed that you did everything at once."

"As you said the scenes themselves weren't that complicated, and I have a good memory not to forget the little details."

"This is another good quality for an actor, with your looks you could be successful in Hollywood, too bad you chose the sport, with your talent I think you have no interest in anything else."

"That's not true, I really love sports and basketball besides running in marathons right now, but I still do other things and think about doing even more if it can fit my schedule."

That's what Jake thought, he would do anything that interested as long as he had time for it, after all, he had priorities too, basketball was the most important and deserved prominence in his agenda for example.

But Jake knew that there could always be opportunities to do something else, only when he entered the NBA that he wouldn't have time to do anything else, before that he wanted to take any opportunity he had.

Director Crowe was happy to hear Jake say that if Jake had an interest in the cinema everything could be arranged, even if a director couldn't make the entire movie shooting schedule around an unknown actor some scenes would not be a problem.

"This year are you competing for the Olympics?"

"Yes, I qualified to run the marathon, I plan to bring another gold medal to our country."

"After that, you'll be much more famous than now."

"I don't know about that, nowadays nobody remembers many athletes who won important medals for our country, so I just want to do my part."Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click www.novelhall.comfor visiting.

"But you can still get famous for playing basketball, can't you?"

"If I win, I will be known for it, this year our team won the national championship, now I'll see if I can win at university too."

Headmaster Crowe nodded in agreement, he knew Jake was gifted by what he saw on sports television, so it seemed like it was really worth inviting a talent like that to work with him.

If Jake really got a gold medal in the Olympics would be a big promotion for his movie, after all, it was directly sports-related, and he saw that Jake was talented and good looking, so he saw only advantages for that.

"I called you here Jake because I think you're very talented and can be a hit in Hollywood, unfortunately, I don't have any characters in a movie of mine for you to play in the near future."

"But this year we will release a movie that has something to do with sports, so I would like to invite you to make a cameo with some scenes."

"What is the name of the film?"

"The name of the movie is Jerry Maguire, it's a movie that tells the story of a sports agent who after a while gets tired of dishonesty in the sports business and decides to have fewer clients to be more efficient…"

Then director Crowe kept talking about the movie with great enthusiasm, but Jake didn't listen to anything else because he knew the story of the movie well and had even watched it several times, It was a movie that he liked a lot and was very successful critically and also at the box office.

"So what do you think?"

"I accept if I have a role that needs a test to try I am willing too, after all, I am playing few various sports, a while ago I played quarterback on the school football team for a friendly."

"If it was another year I would call you, but unfortunately this year you have to participate in the Olympics and so we would have less time to film if you weren't available with a bigger role, but if you get the chance I'll talk to you."

Jake understood that well, he was just excited, it was hard for him who had no acting experience to play a major role in an important movie like this one. Jake knew well that actors played a key role in the film's end result.

After a while, Tom Cruise showed up at the party and Jake cheered up and went along with the director to greet one of his idols, after all, he knew that Tom Cruise played the main character of the movie that director Crowe invited him to.

The director also went along with Jake when he saw that the person who had arrived was Tom Cruise, so the director introduced Jake to Tom Cruise and Jake had to control himself not to ask for an autograph, after all, he would just embarrass the director by doing so.

After Jake stayed a little longer at the party and left, he was wondering if he could really get a chance to participate in such a big movie, after all even if the director invited him it was hard to know if the director couldn't change his mind.

When he returned home late at night and told Eva who he met his mother reprimanded him for not asking her for an autograph.
