Marvel Salted Fish Kryptonian

In fact, it is a dark history that is hard to recall. When helping mutants fight aliens, who would think that the Joker was acting, who would not think that the Joker was really crazy...

But there is no need to say these words.

Charlize was puzzled. "If that's the case, why don't you continue to develop in Hollywood?"

His initial pride gave way to a sigh of resignation. Henry pointed to his face and said, "I've asked a lot of agents, and they all told me I don't have a photogenic face. If I wait for Hollywood, I can stick to supporting roles for twenty years and maybe I can make it."

"If I want to play the leading man, no production company would dare to take a chance on me. So, what's the reason for me to continue? I'm not someone who loves acting, and it's the only way I can make a living."

"Did anyone say that to you?" Charlize was surprised.

"Oh, do you think I'm handsome?" Henry was overjoyed and laughed happily.

"No, they're right. You're far inferior to Tom Cruise."

After a big rise, there will naturally be a big fall. Henry lowered his head sadly. "Okay, I know all this, you don't have to emphasize it deliberately."

"But in some of your shining moments, you're still very handsome. My hero." Charlize supported her face and playfully looked at the man with changing expressions.

This made Henry happy again, and he made a shrug and pouting expression.

Charlize slapped Henry's face in disgust and pushed it away with a smile.

Henry grabbed the girl's hand, took a bite, and got back to the point. "Anyway, my method is very simple. I just watch movies with actors who have outstanding acting skills and learn their acting techniques.

"Then I'll get a camera and record your performance. We'll then adjust the gap between what you think and what you actually do. We'll figure out how to achieve the same performance as the actor in the movie."

"As an actor, your success ultimately depends on your performance in front of the camera. First, you need to be able to look good on camera without being awkward; then, you need to be able to act like the character you are portraying. What do you think of this training method?"

Charlize couldn't find any fault with Henry's method. Starting with imitation, and accumulating experience in a practical way, wasn't that much better than reading acting textbooks and memorizing the text?

Acting is an art of performance, not a field where success or failure is determined simply by the amount of knowledge.

So Charlize nodded seriously. Even though she didn't say anything, you could sense her seriousness.

Henry continued, "But it's not enough to just focus on your acting skills. If you want to be a good actor, you have to work hard on many other things.

"You need to read some psychology to understand what kind of behaviors appear in different people. You need to understand the meaning of their micro-movements and micro-expressions, and where to focus your observations and attention.

“You also need to spend more time reading to understand the background and consequences of a character. That way, you can easily perform actions that suit the character.

"The last point is the accent. If possible, you need to train yourself more and learn more accents to suit characters with different personalities and backgrounds.

"People say the British accent is popular, and that's mainly because of the London accent used by the upper class. There's no need to deliberately learn those accents from rural areas of England; there are enough varieties here in the United States.

"In the US, the most beautiful accent is generally recognized as the Great Lakes region's. But most people still use the New York accent of the East Coast, or the Los Angeles accent of the West Coast. Or maybe the cowboy accent of agrarian states like Texas.

"But I believe you'll have no problem in this regard. Your English is so fluent and standard that it's hard to tell where your accent is. As long as you don't say it, no one would know that your native language is actually Afrikaans."

After hearing what Henry said, Charlize's confidence was dampened. She stammered, "I have so many things to do. When will I get the chance to actually perform?"

Henry quickly explained: "No, no, no, what I said is that as long as you want to be an actor, you must continue to improve yourself and work hard. But your acting work must also be carried out at the same time.

"This is to enrich your resume, accumulate experience, and build your reputation in this industry. These things need to be done together. There's no such thing as waiting until you're ready before taking the next step."

"You may go to dozens of auditions but still not get a single acting opportunity. This is the norm in Hollywood. So you can't wait, you have to start now. If you just wait, the opportunity will fall to someone else."

She had to study, audition, and work odd jobs to support herself. But Charlize never thought of giving up those odd jobs and relying on Henry to support herself.

Although the upcoming schedule will be very busy, there is finally a glimmer of hope for the future, instead of the darkness and uncertainty like before.

Charlize reached out to Henry. "So, from today on, you're my agent. When do we sign the contract?"

Gently fiddling with the hand that was stretched out before him, Henry looked at the beauty before him. "This thing won't happen so quickly. I have to register with the Screen Actors Guild first to get authorization before I can start my agent business."

"Then we can sign the contract, and then help you find work and negotiate with others. By the way, speaking of which, have you registered as a member of the Screen Actors Guild?"

Charlize shook her head with regret. "I heard it wasn't for a sum of money."

Henry rubbed his forehead, feeling helpless. "He wants money, yes, but it's not a lot of money. What's John thinking? I don't think he wanted to push you into acting from the beginning."

Looking at the girl with a complicated expression, Henry said, "Anyway, come see me tomorrow. We'll go to the Actors Guild together. I'll apply for authorization as an agent, and you'll register as an actor."

"I'll pay the fees first, and you can keep the debt. Being registered with the Screen Actors Guild is crucial for many film crews. Besides providing you with security, it also saves them from some hassles."

"Otherwise, if something goes wrong, you'll have to fight alone to seek compensation from the crew, which is very troublesome. The crew will also be afraid that you'll ask for exorbitant prices and break the rules. So, unless the crew itself has problems, most people tend to use members of the Screen Actors Guild."

"Okay." Charlize compromised and expressed her acceptance of Henry's next arrangement.

"A lot happened to you today. Go to bed early. Get enough rest, and tomorrow will be a new beginning."

But this time, Charlize shook her head in opposition. She flipped over, straddling Henry. Looking at the man she held in her arms, she revealed a cunning, vixen-like expression and said, "Round two." Then she began to nibble again!

This is the result of tasting the sweetness. Women are so terrifying.

Katie, slumped over the cat climbing frame, noticed that the female Twoleg had once again dominated the Kryptonian Twoleg. In her eyes, the female was superior to the Kryptonian Twoleg, and then to her. This meant that the female was not to be messed with.

Katie understood. She flicked her tail and continued to rest with her eyes closed.

Chapter 300: Mainland Hotel Trip

Charlize Theron had a lot to do on her first day as a free woman.

First, Henry had to get up secretly in the middle of the night, being careful not to disturb the exhausted girl, because he had to go to the warehouse he rented in the Los Angeles waterfront to drive the Cadillac back.

I had previously used my superpowers to save people, but I hadn't been able to take care of the car, which had been parked at the dock. Fortunately, a taxi driver showed me the way, and the situation was resolved smoothly.

If I'm going to take Charlize Theron out today, I'd better get the car back in advance so as not to waste her time.

Then I prepared breakfast, received Katie's feed for today from the butcher's delivery boy, and filled the feed bowl.

The base basin is for the morning portion, and the reserve basin is for the lunch portion. This is how I finally got rid of this tabby cat who always cries hungry at noon.

: Roar, if you dare, let me go out and find food on my own. I'll bring back some Twoleg cubs for you to see.

Everything was ready, and then he kissed the sleeping beauty awake. Then Henry was bitten again...

Who says only men are excited about this kind of thing?

Anyway, after Henry… ah, no, after breakfast, Charlize went back to her room to get her ID photo and then went to the Screen Actors Guild to register. Henry then registered as her agent.

After that, the two signed the agency contract on the spot.

Then they rushed to Giovanni's photo studio. This portly Italian-American, who ran a photo studio but sold everything, was one of Henry's personal suppliers. He always had a way of getting some very rare products, and his skills were truly extraordinary.

But what Henry admired most was his skills in taking and developing photos.

Don't think developing photos requires any technical skills, that it's more than just developing what you've captured on film. In fact, in an era before computers and Photoshop, developing photos was an opportunity to Photoshop.

Although it is not as good as the beauty tools of the future that can turn a sow into Diao Chan, the development technology accounts for half of whether the developed photos are beautiful or ugly.

In general, photo studios only develop photos according to the standard process and present the results. But Giovanni's development can achieve the icing on the cake.

Photo editing and color adjustment are just the basics. Giovanni can also overlay the contents of multiple negatives on the same photo, or delete inappropriate content without making it look awkward.

To achieve this level, Henry still needs to practice more. So in order to take the audition photo of Charlize Theron, Henry brought someone to Giovanni instead of doing it himself.

They say Giovanni's photo studio specializes in ripping off tourists, charging half the price for acquaintances! It's a classic example of a studio that's closed for three years but still profitable for three years.

Henry used his amazing bargaining skills to reduce the price of the audition photos to less than 10%.

It made Charlize Theron feel a little insecure. Is this still America? Not some third world country? Can I bargain down to a 90% discount?

After running around the two places, I can just send Charlize to her job.

Henry didn't make a big promise and say that all the temporary workers should be fired and he would just support them.

Financial independence determines whether a person can face problems with confidence. For a girl who's just been cheated by her previous agent, what would people think if her new agent wanted to take full control of her life?

Therefore, Henry would not interfere too much in their daily lives unless Charlize Theron asked for it. On the one hand, although their relationship has evolved to the level of boyfriend and girlfriend, they are not yet husband and wife, so they should at least give each other some privacy.

After sending Charlize to work, Henry had a lot of things to do.

The underwater server in the dock warehouse can be placed first. In order to guide Charlize's acting, we need to get a camera first.

But Henry still went to the Continental Hotel first. The "tribute" mentioned by the man in the suit yesterday had always been on his mind.

Unfortunately, I couldn't ask the girls at the front desk about this. They were strictly forbidden from discussing the hotel's internal affairs. If I were to blab about it, I'd most likely end up missing.

Luckily, Henry saw someone in the hotel's cafe who should know the situation: Charlie Fisher, the uncle of hotel manager Moonee Fisher, and an old gunslinger who had helped Henry a lot when he set up the Black Clinic.

"Charlie, is anyone sitting here?" Henry walked to the opposite side of the old gunman and pointed to the empty seat and asked.

The old gunman looked at the empty cafe, but he still let the man sit down. He only added, "If you have something you want to know, you know the rules here."

Henry put a gold coin on the table and pushed it out without saying a word.

Charlie called the waiter over and handed the gold coin to him. "Give this kid a cup of coffee. What flavor do you want?"

"Double espresso."

After the black waitress received the gold coins, she went to make preparations.

Charlie looked at the man who hadn't appeared for a long time and smiled. "I almost thought you were dead somewhere. You haven't appeared for so long."

"I've been busy with other things lately," Henry said with a laugh. Then, his expression turned serious and he asked, "Charlie, do you know what 'paying tribute' means?"

"Don't you know?" Charlie looked surprised. But he still took a sip of coffee to moisten his throat, and then said: "The waiters in the Continental Hotel are mostly those who have troubles.

"Because ordinary people can live a normal life in society, they don't have to do these shameful things. I hope mainland hotels can help them solve the problem, but of course there will be a price to pay.

"It's about how much gold coins you have to contribute to the hotel each month. There's no set quota, it's basically a negotiation between you and the manager. It could be a fixed amount or a percentage.

"If you stop paying your rent, the hotel will no longer provide you with shelter. However, this won't be announced to the public, so you won't be in trouble immediately after the rent is cut off.

"This is like a buffer period, allowing the server to gather gold coins. You only just found out about this today... You haven't discussed this with Muni before, have you?"

Henry looked embarrassed. No wonder the FBI and the police kept knocking on his door. He had relied on his super senses to warn him and escape in advance.

"It seems there is really no more."

But Henry could understand this system. It was equivalent to a gold coin recycling mechanism.

If the service provider does not need the special services provided by the hotel, the gold coins earned by the gunman will continue to flow into the service provider's hands and accumulate.

Although the gold coins at the Continental Hotel were not currencies in the economic sense, they did share some similarities: money had to flow, not stagnate somewhere.

Then the protection fee paid by the service provider to the hotel is the link that connects the financial flow.

Henry had previously misunderstood that the Continental Hotel was not doing its job well, but it turned out that he was ignorant.

As for why the manager didn't mention it, Henry didn't bother to think about the intention behind it. It was nothing more than creating an opportunity to show favor, increase bargaining chips, and so on.

But no one expected that they were the ones who were in trouble. Since the police and the FBI might have bad intentions, they just had to avoid them before they met. There was no trouble at all.

Chapter 301 Photography Equipment

But trapping and fishing are all about patience; those who lose their composure lose half the battle. Henry, with all his cards in hand, is more confident than the others. Worst case scenario, he could just fly to the moon and live in seclusion!

The femme fatale's tactics were essentially another tactic: find a thug to harass a beautiful woman, then step in to save her, then take advantage of the situation. Henry was very familiar with this…

It seems like a similar routine that I just experienced?

But Tony Stark’s warning at the beginning of the year is still fresh in my mind. I appear on many lists, so it seems that I should take some precautions first.

While thinking about it, Henry asked about something else. "If I close the clinic, will it be okay?"

Considering that he has to be Charlize Theron's agent, Henry can't wait for the call bell of the black clinic to ring all the time like he has done in the past year or so.

If two things conflict, does that mean you need to hone your time management skills? The best way, of course, is to push aside the less important one.

Charlie wasn't surprised at Henry's question. "You didn't just have this idea today, did you?"

Henry said angrily, "Come on, I don't believe you don't know that the FBI and the police have been keeping watch outside my clinic for the past six months.

"Luckily, the location you picked for me is well connected. They couldn't completely block it off, so I had a chance to escape. Even if I moved to another place, would the situation improve?"

Charlie smiled, neither admitting nor denying. "If you can solve your own problems, that would be best. The hotel's rule is that medical requests involving gold coins cannot be refused, but if you can't find someone, that rule isn't broken, right?"

Henry understood the implication of this sentence, but he just didn't say he was quitting.

However, considering the previous precedent of performing surgery on the city councilor's child, it is still possible that the mainland hotel will specifically ask me to do the job.

There are always some VVVIP clients who encounter difficult and complicated diseases that cannot be treated by general medical means and need the help of a guy like the Repairman who has no bottom line.

This way of cooperation is not unacceptable. At least it won't take up too much of my time helping a group of scumbags with bandaging and treatment.

Do you know how many people the Tinker has saved are people he himself can't stand? He wants to give them an overdose of adrenaline, give them top-notch medical care, and send them straight to heaven?

After finishing his double espresso in one gulp, Henry stood up and prepared to leave. He said casually, "Thanks, Charlie. You know my number if you need to contact me."

The old gunman didn't say anything, he just raised his coffee cup as if he was toasting, and sent off a young man who could return to the bright world.

For many people, the Continental Hotel is just a shelter from decadence and is not a good place either.
