hollywood draw

Naomi Watts was aware of this, and Wayne felt that it was of course a good thing, and she didn't think she was in a bad state now.

This woman's original personality is tenacious. If she was still on the same track, she would have collaborated with Nicole Kidman in 1991, and then returned to Australia because she had no chance in Hollywood.

But in 1993, she would unwillingly come to Los Angeles again with her luggage on her back, hoping to get a better chance of becoming famous. Naomi Watts, who was in her early 20s, was at the most energetic age. She would insist on working in a convenience store while running to the crew for audition.

During this period, she never got any chance and could only play the role of a supporting role and rely on odd jobs to maintain her life in Los Angeles.

In the big city of Los Angeles, she was unable to make ends meet, had difficulty living, had no medical insurance, and had no living security. Even so, this woman kept gritting her teeth and running to various crews for auditions.

This life lasted for seven years before finally getting the appreciation of David Lynch by chance and starred in "Mulholland Road", which made her famous.

Such a tenacious personality and mind are what Wayne admires her most, so from the first film, he was willing to bring this patient and cruel woman to him. In some aspects, the two of them are simply too similar.

They are constantly moving forward for their own goals. Wayne doesn't even make friends. He has been learning various knowledge alone for more than ten years, and is very familiar with the pain that he has to go through to pursue his goals.

This woman is not like she originally did, and she has not experienced the hard time that affected her for seven years. This may have some impact on her, but Wayne believes that as long as she does not make stupid mistakes and has herself, she will definitely succeed more than she remembers.

Naomi Watts's current fame will never have to star in films like "Midnight Bell" and "21g". Even when necessary, he doesn't mind getting the gorilla out in advance and letting this woman get into a cafe at her best age.

"Hey, I have something dirty on my face?"

The blonde beauty who had just left the bathroom was wearing a wide white bathrobe. She sat opposite Wayne and took out the script, but found that the man opposite was looking at her in a daze.

"No, you're beautiful."

Wayne shook his head gently and looked at Naomi Watts and said, "Don't make things difficult for yourself. I know your acting skills very well. You can also control the role you set. Listen, Nami, as long as you adjust your mentality, this is not a problem for you at all."

"I understand." Naomi Watts raised his eyebrows and regained his confidence on his face. "After this video is over, I will go to another performance school when I return to Los Angeles."

If she only starred in a summer popcorn-type commercial film, she felt that her acting skills were enough, but if she wanted to continue to star in Wayne's film, then at the current level, she would definitely need to improve. These are what she just wanted to understand.

The man opposite will definitely not shoot popcorn movies in the future. His works are born with artistic attributes. In a dark style, they always discuss human nature, social attributes, various consciousness concepts, etc. This kind of film can maximize the actor's desire to perform, but it increases the requirements for the actors themselves.

Hearing her arrangement for her, Wayne smiled knowingly, lit a cigarette, and said, "This is a very smart choice. Nami, you will become an Oscar winner in the future and will definitely have your own little golden man."

"Oscars are not my first pursuit. I still remember what you said." Naomi Watts crossed his legs on the sofa, not caring about the peeping eyes of the man opposite him. She knew what the other party admired her figure.

"You won't forget the career path you planned for me when you first met me, right? I remember every word I said very clearly. After years of experience, I realized that everything you said was right at the beginning. This is definitely the most suitable career plan for me.

I am going to be successful in business first. When I can have the box office appeal like Julia Roberts, I should also have the capital to win awards. Only then will I consider the issue of professional awards.”

Wayne exhaled a sip of blue smoke and exclaimed sincerely: "You are very sober! All these will be achieved."

Rolling his eyes at him, Naomi Watts joked: "What you learn from you must always maintain a clear self-awareness and a clear mind."

He smiled and shook his head, picked up tomorrow's shooting plan again, and started his work with his head down.

In the second floor office of Burbank CAA in Angel City, in the second floor of the Burbank CAA, Jimmy looked at the sky outside the window, rubbed his forehead hard, and cleaned up the documents on the table.

Due to the resignation of agent Emperor Michael Orwitz, CAA has been constantly in turmoil during this period, and his immediate boss was also squeezed out of the company due to the failure of the power struggle, which made Jimmy's situation very embarrassing.

He did not have the idea of ​​finding another faction for himself. If those partners do not notice him, he would prepare to do this first to see if he had any chance to become a partner.

But things are not as simple as he thought. At today's regular meeting, Martin Bob, one of the company's largest partners, was dissatisfied with his work, hoping that he could add more CAA's customers to Wayne's crew.

It was a headache for him to think about it. Jimmy had different ideas from those big agents. He always put his position very correctly, just like Wayne's service provider, and he had never had any other messy ideas.

Through today's regular meeting, he suddenly realized something. These people were busy competing for the rights vacant after Michael Orwitz left, and they didn't care about anything else at all, completely ignoring a big thing.

Wayne's agent contract is about to expire. If the company is normal, it will be time to contact him to discuss the issue of making an appointment in advance, but these senior partners seem to have ignored this.

The four-year brokerage agency contract signed in 1991 should have only about half a year left. This problem that concerns its top customers seems to be the only one in the company, which is obviously abnormal.

According to what Jimmy observed, it is estimated that by next year, CAA's brokers and clients will definitely lose a large part of them.

"Hey, I knew you weren't leaving yet." The office's fictional door was pushed open, and Stan Horford walked in with his briefcase, sat across from his desk and said:

"Jimmy, don't care about those senior partners who are shit. Now they have become beasts of power. Even if because of Wright Manning's relationship, Martin Bob will at most add some obstacles to becoming a partner. He will never dare to force you away."

Stan Horford is his only friend in the company. The two of them came out of the mailroom together. The relationship afterwards has been maintained well in recent years. This is a rare agent who does not suffer from red-eye illness.

"I'm fine, go have a drink together?" Jimmy packed the documents on the table, took off the blazer from the hanger, and called him out together.

“Ok.”

The two left the company, but didn't drive, and went straight to the bar they often went to.

Jimmy didn't take Martin Bob's exclusion too seriously. What he is worried about now is Wayne's contract renewal. As long as this big director is still a customer of his own, no one dares to force him too much in CAA.

The reason why he didn't mention this matter at the regular meeting was that he actually had another idea, but he was hesitating and unable to make up his mind.

The bar is not far from the company building, which is also a gathering place for nearby white-collar workers after get off work. They often came over to have a drink before. After entering the bar, they walked directly to the corner of the bar and ordered two large glasses of beer.

Jimmy didn't say anything after entering the bar. She turned the wine glass in her hand from time to time, calculating gains and losses in her mind. It was not until more than ten minutes passed that he suddenly spoke, and whispered to his companion who was staring at the beauty looking for prey:

"Stan, what do you think if I want to quit my job and start my own business?"

"fxxk! Are you crazy Jimmy?!" Stan Horford stopped and swung his body to the music, his eyes retracted from the woman in her clothes, looking at him with disbelief.

"Don't be impulsive. Think about how much hard work we have worked to survive in the past few years. Calm down, Jimmy! Don't let anger dominate your brain!"

As he said that, he grabbed his companion's shoulder, shook it hard a few times, and stared at the other person's eyes with a serious expression.

"Listen to me."

Shaking his shoulders, Jimmy shook his hands on his shoulders and said in a very serious tone: "There is a situation you don't know. Wayne's agent appointment is coming soon, but now I am the only one who notices this."

"What?" Stan Horford opened his mouth wide in surprise.

Seeing his surprised look, he probably didn't expect such an important customer, the company in the turmoil, to ignore it.

"So, I'm going to quit myself after a while and then start a small agency." Jimmy shrugged and continued with a big sip of beer.

Stan Horford suddenly realized that there would be no fool to survive in a fiercely competitive place like CAA. He looked at the surrounding environment and deliberately lowered his voice and said:

"Are you going to take Wayne Greenberg away from the CAA?"

"That's right." Jimmy nodded, which was also the decision he just made. "With my relationship with Wayne, I'm 80% sure to sign a contract with the agency I established, and I will tell him that this company will only serve him alone.

All the business will also revolve around him, and I will even invest in him, let him occupy a part of the shares and completely tie the two of us together. What do you think of this plan?"
