Fisher looked at the new man, who was growing up quietly. Although he had a beard, his handsome face was still a little immature. His youth was invincible and wanton. But his eyes were as quiet as water. They were introverted and refined, which did not match his age. It seemed that all the brilliance had settled down and integrated into every cell of his body, So contradictory and so harmonious, maybe he is not the shining focus of Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise, but his intriguing temperament can always be unique in the crowd.
Only at the moment of hearing the Emmy nomination did the twinkling light in his eyes reveal the fact that he was not yet 21 years old - or that he was just a rookie in Hollywood.
Fisher has absolute confidence that lenley can create miracles in his hands and even become a top star. But now he is more curious about whether lenley has such ambition?
"But it's just good." As soon as Fisher's words changed, his tone changed a little. "It's far from the end. Now the question is, where do you want to go in Hollywood's vanity fair?" Just in one word, Fisher quietly took the initiative back.
Langley almost blurted out and answered honestly, but when the words reached the tip of his tongue, he swallowed at the last moment and looked at Fisher curiously. "Shouldn't I ask you this question? If I choose you to be my agent, what can you push me to? "
Who is the buyer's market and who is the seller's market? This is a very important thing. Now it is Fisher who takes the initiative to come to the door. Naturally, lanli will not easily let go of this advantage. He and other ordinary newcomers are different, for the agent this matter is not too persistent; What's more, his chips are increasing now, aren't they?
Fisher browed lightly. He did not reject the strength of Langley. If he wants to survive in Hollywood, modesty and prudence will only leave no bones. If he does not have enough aggressiveness, it means that he does not have enough ambition. Then, there is no cultivation value.
It's just that Fisher was a bit surprised, because from the appearance of Langley, from the performance of "Pacific War", all kinds of signs show that Langley is a mild type of character, but now it seems that the saying "people can't be ugly" has been confirmed once again.
"The sky is my limit." Fisher showed his aggressiveness for the first time. The power of despising everything brought him to his present position. Obviously, he was not satisfied with it. "20 million club, 55 million dollars, Oscar winner, actor of 300 million productions, his works as a producer, and James Cameron's cooperation, Working with Meryl Streep... I can do anything you can say. The question is, do you have that ability? "
Fisher's body slowly leaned back, his legs cocked, and the posture of sitting on the Diaoyutai made it impossible to question his words, let alone refuse his invitation. Even if the tone did not deliberately rise, but the understatement was as heavy as Mount Tai, which brought more shock.
"Ha, I'm almost excited about what you said." If there is no rebirth, maybe Langley will be too excited to sign a contract with Fisher.
But he clearly knows that Hollywood doesn't work like this. The appearance of any top star is the result of favorable weather, location and people. The agent is only one of the links, but not the most important one - luck and timing, which are the most important. Fisher is just bluffing, but it's persuasive, combined with the good times he's had in the past few years.
The humorous words revealed a hint of irony, which sounded the alarm for Fischer -- it's one thing to be strong in character, but it's another thing to disobey discipline. For a newcomer who has no inside information, the arrogance of ignorance of heaven and earth will only destroy himself. Moreover, no agent will like a newcomer who constantly contradicts himself. no one.
"However, what you said is not what I want, I want to reach a higher level." It's true that what Fisher said is what everyone dreams of now. Naturally, Langley is no exception. The brightest stage of vanity fair, whether besieged or not, people standing outside always want to go. But as Langley said, the limit he really pursues is more than that. "I hope to really integrate commerce and art together. If that's my goal, what do you think I need to have? "
In an instant, the initiative changed again and came to lanli.
Fischer thought he was arrogant enough. Now when he heard what Langley said, he had an impulse to laugh. Many great artists from all ages have tried to combine business and art perfectly to find the golden balance. But even Steven Spielberg, Stanley Kubrick, and John J A master like James Cameron dare not easily say that he has successfully found the key.
Now, a suckling rookie is boasting so much. It's like a baby waving a pencil sharpening knife saying that he wants to defeat Soren in the ring“ It's a great joke, the best I've heard so far this year. " Fisher chuckled and began to find the little guy interesting.
However, Lan Li did not smile.
Fisher's laughter reverberated in the car for a while. After no response, it gradually became embarrassing. Fisher's mouth was a little stiff; All of a sudden, Nathan in the co driver's seat laughs with no warning, breaking the atmosphere in the car and making a transition from embarrassment to strangeness. This time, it's lanli's turn to smile.
Nathan originally wanted to meet Fischer's needs and defuse the atmosphere, but he didn't grasp the opportunity. Instead, he was kind-hearted and did something wrong. Turning his head, he saw Fischer's frosty eyes. His heart beat and missed a beat. He shrunk his neck and turned back to sit in the same place.
Fisher felt that Langley was deliberately making fun of himself, which was obviously not a good thing. His anger began to burn up. You know, in the past few years, his career has been booming, and Fisher has not felt this kind of humiliation for a long time. His smile converged and his eyes sank. "Do you know what you just mean“
”That's why I said it, isn't it“ Lan Li fought back in a humble way.
He didn't like Fischer's attitude of always standing high and the sense of superiority between his words. Both inside and outside his words, he revealed that "I like you. It's your honor. You should kowtow and express your loyalty quickly." what he needed was equal dialogue. Even if he is a newcomer, the relationship between actors and agents has never been different from that between superiors and subordinates. Both sides should be equal and mutually beneficial. So he didn't like Fisher's superior tone.
What's more, lanli was born in an aristocratic family. He was absolutely familiar with "superior" and "condescending". How could he be frightened by Fisher?
"Are you serious?" Fischer pauses and asks in a deep voice that instead of speaking, Langley purses his mouth, which makes Fischer's face darker. "Do you know what the perfect balance between business and art means?"
Instead, Lan Li laughed, "I thought you could give me the answer."
Fisher couldn't help but snort. He felt that he had been trampled on his chest. He didn't like Langley's arrogance and arrogance. Maybe, Johnny Depp can do it, Tom Cruise can do it, he has to swallow his anger even if he is dissatisfied, but Langley? A new nobody?
In Hollywood, there are too many actors who have won an academy nomination, but none of them can really gain a foothold in the industry. Don't say it's just Emmy nominations. Even Oscar nominations and even Oscar awards are still nothing under Hollywood's huge business system. Compared with the distance from being famous to being famous, the distance from being nameless is just that ants look up to giants.
In Fischer's opinion, Langley's bluff was just a joke, so Fischer chuckled and sneered, "I think you'd better go to the actors' Union to find a public agent and let him give you a good lesson before you go any further. Hollywood is a cruel arena, not everyone can come in to play, and even the qualification to enter is not available to anyone. "
In Fisher's view, Langley just stood at the door, and even didn't get the ticket.
"I think that's all for today's talk. We still have to wait for future opportunities for our cooperation." Fisher still kept a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, but the indifference of thousands of miles away had penetrated into it, and the politeness and alienation of social occasions could not be more obvious.
"Frank, stop the car." Without waiting for Langley to answer, Fisher gave the order on his own.
Nathan, startled, turns around, looks at Fisher and exclaims, "but this is the freeway!"
Compared with Nathan's fuss, Langley was much more calm. He just picked his eyebrows and then showed a smile at Fisher. "I think it's better to cooperate. You and I all know that maybe we won't meet again in the future, right?" With that, Lan Li pushed the door open and went straight down.
It's crisp and clean, and it's not sloppy.
Fisher was satirized once again. His mouth twitched and he was about to say something. With a bang, lanli was closed by the door. Fischer closed his eyes reflexively. Then he realized his embarrassment and thumped the sofa hard. His anger calmed down a little.
"And you, Nathan, you go down too." Fisher said again, "you're fired."
After he got out of the car, lanli looked at the surrounding environment. He didn't want to look back and see Nathan's embarrassed expression. For a moment, he didn't react. The car next to him immediately went away, leaving only a mass of tail gas.
Nathan grinned shyly, raised his right hand and waved stiffly, "Hi."
