Superstar

Karl-Earl sits in his small office cubicle, holding the telephone receiver on his shoulder, turning a ballpoint pen with his left hand boringly, and rubbing his right hand unconsciously on a stack of papers on the desk, while his sight stays not far away. On the pen holder, I carefully counted the number of pens in the pen holder, and suddenly there was a messy sound from the earpiece, "Carl?"

This voice caused Karl’s left hand to immediately throw the ballpoint pen on the table, and he sat up straight and said, “I’m listening, this is Karl Earl. Yes, I’ve received the script for the first episode just now. I still have some questions...Oh, ok, I see, thank you."

After hanging up the phone, Carl looked at the beeping receiver, very frustrated, his eyes fell on the paper at the bottom of his right hand again. This is the script he just received, and the cover says "Happy Family ( Below it is written "Producer: Christopher Elod (..

This is the latest audition opportunity that Carl has found for Alex, but Carl is not very satisfied with the role of Alex in the audition, and Christopher-Elrod can’t really be regarded as an outstanding producer. Ren, his previously produced sitcom "Wings ( was cut after only two seasons, and its reputation is very average. The script for the navigation episode of "Happy Family" in his hand is not ‘sexy’, which makes Carl quite hesitant.

The so-called navigation set is actually a pilot set. Before a drama project is formally established, it is an experimental set for the TV station to decide whether to broadcast, book a season or a half season, and other broadcast plans. "Happy Family" is a project under planning.

Today Carl got the news. I heard that this time it was a public audition. It was a normal script and a normal role. If the public audition is added, it doesn’t seem to be of any help to Alex’s career as an actor. Carl felt that there was no need to participate.

But from the feedback we just got, it seems that the other party's sincerity is not very sufficient, and Carl is more upset. Although Alex and Charlize are both new actors who are just starting out, Karl doesn't want to plan for the future arbitrarily for them. He accepts all jobs ‘door’. This is incorrect. Therefore, this "happy family" proposal made Karl very hesitant.

"Hey, Carl, have you heard that?" The two people standing next to the work desk were holding coffee and walking towards Carl in low voices.

Carl raised his gaze and looked at the two people, "What?"

"The upstairs quarreled directly just now, and they scolded in the corridor. The whole floor was frightened." The visitor said with a lingering fear.

Carl frowned slightly, but quickly shook his head in relief, "Whales are fighting, we little shrimps should not be onlookers, lest we suffer." Carl's calmness made the two gossip-hearted people feel immediately. Boring, he turned and left angrily.

In fact, Carl doesn’t need gossip at all. You can guess it. Since the company’s co-president Marvin Josephson attended the luncheon at the end of last year, his actions within the company have become more frequent in the past few months. For a brokerage company, the so-called power is divided into two parts, contacts and artists, but the real competition is the resources of the artists. In short, the richer the resources of the big-name artists in the hands, the more the right to speak in the company.

Therefore, if Marvin wants to regain control of the company's initiative-to regain control from Rick Rosen, Lang Meyer and others, then he must dig into the wall, whether it is from other competitors or from In the hands of competitors within the company, it is inevitable to dig into the wall.

This has also caused the company to jump around at intervals in recent months, but today I don’t know which partner Marvin successfully dug a wall from.

As Carl said, even if Marvin had to dig a wall, he would not find Carl. His two actors, Alex and Charlize, did not have any "use value". Even Joseph did not have this value, "Yihai Xiongfeng." Hugo had this capital when he won eight consecutive championships, but now, no one in the company will notice the Hugo who is far away in Poland.

Thinking of this, Carl looked at the clock, calculated the time difference, then picked up the receiver and dialed the phone number. The call was quickly answered, "Hey, Joe, this is Carl."

"Carl, this is Hugo, Joe is going to take a bath." Hugo's slightly tired voice came from the other end of the receiver.

Carl was slightly surprised, "Oh, Hugo, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to interrupt your rest. I...I just want to talk to Joe, or I'll call it later?"

"It's okay, it's okay. I just finished the script exercise, and I am taking a break." Hugo sat down next to the fixed phone, relaxing the muscles of his shoulders, "Do you need to talk to Joe yourself later, or Say, I can give you a message? Is it important?"

"No, it's just a trivial matter. I want to ask Joe for advice." Carl'kneaded''rubbed the'Tian' and leaned on the back of his chair. "Hugo, I actually want to ask. , Do you think I am a qualified agent? Because you know that Alex and Charlize worked so hard, but there is really not much I can do..."

"Carl, you are the guy called'Superman', aren't you?" Hugo's ridicule made Carl stunned, and then he laughed helplessly, "Carl, you should know that as an agent, You have worked very hard, you have plans for Alex and Charlize’s career as actors, and they both agree with your ideas, so all you need to do is stick to it."

Charlize has been under Carl’s hands for a year. Although the workload is not much, she did not repeat the previous history of expelling the agent, John Crosby. Instead, she started acting practice under Carl’s guidance. Constantly hone yourself on some small corners of "color". Even though she hasn't been at work all the time, Charlize's life is very fulfilling and she is also very satisfied. This is where Carl is capable.

Although Carl knew that Hugo was comforting himself, he couldn't help but ‘show’ a smile, "You always speak so convincingly."

"This is my strength." Hugo laughed.

"In fact, this is how it is. I recently received a script for Alex. It's a great opportunity. If it succeeds, Alex will get the first fixed TV drama role in his actor career. "Carl thought for a while and said his troubles," But the problem is that the first episode of this script looks very ordinary, and the producer is only the second attempt to produce a series independently. They told Alec Si doesn’t seem to value it too much. On the one hand, I am worried about whether this is a delay in Alex’s time, because it does not seem to be the right choice; on the other hand, I am worried that my personal judgment will affect Alec. The future of Sri Lanka."

From a certain perspective, actors and agents are a community of interests tied together. There are many agents who use actors to seek short-term profits, but it is not easy for them to become top agents, because there are only real Agents who seek long-term development for actors can plan a clear career development for themselves.

Hugo is an actor and Carl is an agent. This kind of'friendship' talk seems not quite right, but Hugo can give Carl a different perspective, "Maybe you should ask Alex for his opinion, you know. When you have no way to make a decision, it helps a lot to'talk' to the actors."

Carl nodded, but did not speak. Then he listened to Hugo and continued to say, "Also, you should know that the first episode of many TV series is not very good, especially sitcoms. The most important thing is creativity, as long as it is creative. It is correct, everything is possible'sex'. You should know this better than me."

"I think you still think too much. Some of you are worried about gains and losses, but you have lost your accurate judgment." Hugo said from the perspective of a bystander. In fact, Karl himself has sufficient judgment, and he is uncertain. It is not confident enough.

Carl couldn't help but smiled helplessly, "Perhaps. Recently the company's affairs have been messy, I guess it has also been affected, lacking focus, and maybe a little anxious."

"An actor can never'fuck' too hastily. Carl!" Hugo said with a smile. This sentence immediately made Carl laugh, because this sentence is Carl's mantra, and it is also the most important thing for actors as an agent. Faithful advice, this sentence also made Carl's two actors before him leave, because almost everyone is dreaming of Hollywood's overnight fame. Hugo, Alex and Charlize have all heard it countless times, especially during the period after the Golden Globes event, Hugo has a deeper understanding of Carl's words.

"So, what is the script this time? It makes you so hesitant." Hugo casually asked in order to enlighten Karl ~www.wuxiaspot.com~, "Know, if this script is really as you said. So ordinary, you won’t hesitate to throw it in the trash can a long time ago. You should go to Joseph’s trash can to see how many opportunities he has thrown away from me."

After the smile on Carl's face was outlined, it never calmed down, and he seemed to be in a much better mood. At this time, Joseph finished his bath and walked out of the bathroom wiping his hair, "Hugo, where did you lose the hair dryer?"

Hugo quickly said into the microphone, "Carl, Joe is out, do you want to talk to him?" Then Hugo said to Joseph, "He seems to be a little worried about Karl's international calls."

Joseph stood at the'door' of the bathroom, "What's the matter?" Then Hugo heard Karl's voice in the receiver, "I'm fine, Hugo, I'm fine, just talk to you, if you want , You can share the conversation with Joe just now."

Seeing that Hugo had actually sat down to talk on the phone, Joseph asked again, "Hair dryer."

Hugo pointed to his hair that doesn't grow at all, "I don't need it. How do I know where to put it? Ask yourself!" Then he continued to chat with Karl. Joseph shook his head helplessly, turned and walked back to the bathroom again, ready to blow his hair.
