"Oh, honey, please wait a moment."

Martha made a gesture to Elizabeth, then looked at Martin, waiting for the president's decision.

Martin looked at Elizabeth a few more times, a little hesitant. He had too little experience as an actor. Is such a person really the person Qin said?

How did he know this girl?

So far, I have only played a small supporting role, and it was a small role in a feature film, which has not been released yet.

But I would rather kill someone than let go. Thinking of this, Martin pressed the phone:

"Thomson asked Jennifer to come in."

Jennifer came in after a while and said hello to Martin:

"Martin, Martha is here too."

After saying hello, Jennifer looked at the other person in the room, a young girl, with a wary look in her eyes.

Anyone within ten years of her age is a competitor.

Martin nodded, pointed at Martha and said to Jennifer:

"Martha, Jennifer has passed Qin's test, and she is the heroine of [The Hunger Games]."

"You can sign a film contract with her later. Sign a four-film contract with her at once. According to Qin, this novel will be adapted into a series of four films."

"Also, go find out about the next novel called [Get Out of the Way, Let Me Embrace Happiness]. If you get the copyright, Qin will let Jennifer compete for the Oscar for the leading actress."

Martha nodded clearly, but looked at Jennifer with strange eyes.

This girl can make Qin move such a huge sum of money.

"Understood, President."

Speaking of which, it was also because of Scarlett that Martha not only improved her status in the company, but also used Qin Dong's relationship to directly recruit Jennifer as her subordinate, and then searched everywhere to find Elizabeth.

Originally, Martha was not so diligent, but Qin Dong's third movie became a hit in his country, and the box office of the fourth movie [Source Code] within a few days of its release was already destined to be a hit, so Martha took action immediately

Already.

Since I can't find out about Elizabeth, I went to the Screen Actors Guild to check the names one by one. Although it was tiring, Martha was very happy to do this.

She could see that Qin Dong was very lecherous and paid a lot of attention to women, so she had to be careful and dig out all the actresses that Qin Dong said he liked, and also pay attention to other beautiful actresses in the future.

Show it to Qin Dong to see if there is anything he likes.

Managers make money from their artists, and the more popular the artist is, the more they make.

When Elizabeth heard this, she kept looking at Jennifer with her eyes.

He doesn't look very thin, he feels a bit fleshy, and he still has baby fat on his face. This person is so lucky.

[The Hunger Games] is a best-selling novel in North America, so naturally she has heard of it.

"Come here."

Martin waved to Martha and asked her to come over, then whispered a few words into her ear:

"Understood?"

Martha nodded silently.

"Okay, let's go down. As for Elizabeth, I'll take her to Qin later."

...

"Martha, do you want to say something to me?"

After Elizabeth followed Martha out, she stayed alone for a while until Martha finished her business with Jennifer and then came to see her.

Martha closed the door, walked to sit opposite Elizabeth, looked at this girl with big eyes and very luxurious lights, and smiled:

"Honey, I definitely have to tell you."

"Aren't you always curious why I came to you directly to sign a contract with you?"

"..."

"..."

Elizabeth's expression changed with Martha's words. So this is it:

"So, Martha, you want me to sell my body?"

Martha looked at the immature girl in front of her and understood her, because this girl had just entered the acting industry. She was not in a hurry to say anything at this time, but talked about other things:

"Dear, I already know about your family situation. The once popular child stars [Olson sisters] are your sisters, but I heard that your relationship with them is not very good."

"Before I signed you, when I was chatting with your ex-agent, I learned one thing. He is planning to accept your next feature film, a thriller called [Double Side]."

"Did he tell you that?"

Elizabeth nodded:

"As I said, I have read the script and plan to follow it up."

Martha nodded noncommittally:

"I've seen it too, so after I took over your agency contract, I already declined it for you."

Elizabeth looked at Martha and said nothing. She knew that the new agent below would explain himself.

"Literary film, this low-budget thriller, the plot in it, many scenarios are written clearly in the script. You have to wear thin clothes, and you are not allowed to wear a bra. There is also a sex scene. Why? Do you know?"

Elizabeth nodded silently. Pornography is a major feature of low-budget literary films.

If there is nothing outstanding, how can it attract people to watch? This is a characteristic of all literary and artistic films. There must be female characters wearing scantily clad clothes.

Moreover, most low-budget literary and artistic films cannot be released in theaters and are all released on offline discs. Why buy them if they have no merit?

Seeing Elizabeth nodding, Martha asked:

"This time, you can accept this kind of plot, but next time I want you to get naked, will you accept it?"

Elizabeth looked at Martha's expression, thought for a moment and nodded again:

"I think I will accept it. Since I have chosen this industry, nude scenes are a professional requirement. Not to mention new actors, many big stars still have such scenes. I don't know everything, although I have no relationship with my two sisters.

Okay, but I still know everything I need to know."

Martha smiled, and that was enough:

"Your two sisters were child stars. Unfortunately, they have left the industry now. Not to mention that you have a bad relationship with them. Even if you have a good relationship with them, they are not capable and cannot help you."

"Do you think you can get ahead by being naked in this kind of literary film?"

Elizabeth shook her head.

If being naked was enough to get ahead, there would be as many as five thousand Hollywood actresses today, if not eight thousand.

There are so many literary and artistic films every year, most of them contain nudity scenes, and not many of them stand out.

"Have you ever had a boyfriend?"

Faced with the problem of agent Martha, emotional matters also fall under the jurisdiction of the agent, and Elizabeth did not hide it:

"We talked about it when I was in school. Now that I'm single, I plan to make a good career as an actor first and then think about it."

Martha doesn't value this open society. If she doesn't have a date in school, she will be laughed at by her classmates. However, as an agent, she must know the emotional status of her artists:

"The Jennifer just now is one year younger than you. Next year she will have a series of movies and an award-winning work. Do you envy her?"

Elizabeth was stunned and hesitated what to say:

"Ah... I... would be lying if I said I wasn't envious."

Martha smiled and continued to ask:

"Then how long do you think it will take you to reach her level?"

Elizabeth shook her head:

"I don't know, it depends on the script you recommend to me, Martha."

Martha smiled and shook her head:

"Of course I want to recommend it, but how powerful do you think an agent is?"

"CAA is big, but it also has many artists. Jennifer, I signed her only a few days earlier than I signed you. Why do you think she was able to get five film contracts at once? A four-part series.

, a prize film."

Elizabeth understood that this agent had spared a lot of trouble and was waiting for her here.

Thinking of what I heard in the president’s office before, combined with Martha’s introduction just now:

"You want me to be like Jennifer?"

Martha smiled and shook her head again:

"Dear, I'm just an agent. I only have suggestions and I have no right to force you."

"The choice is all yours."

"If you refuse, you have your own ideas, okay, ok, I agree with your point of view."

"Then, I will help you take over other literary films, even the thriller [Double Sided] that has been rejected by me. Since the other party has not found other candidates, I can also use CAA's relationship to help you win it again.

This role."

Martha is no stranger to persuasion.

She said the same thing to Jennifer a few days ago.

She only suggested that the choice is in the hands of the artists, and they should choose their own path.

Because she knows that few actresses who take this path are fools. If fools stay in the circle for a short time, they will automatically disappear.

As a CAA agent, she does not need to be like some small company agents who have to force their artists to give everything to seize every opportunity, no matter how small the opportunity is, they have to give everything to fight for it.

Elizabeth was silent, she understood what the agent meant.

She can refuse, but what happens next depends on her own vision in selecting scripts. Most newcomers are involved in art films.

Literary films, only those that can win awards, can attract others' attention.

Otherwise, you have to crawl slowly in this quagmire.
