Hollywood Domination Chapter 18: Jenny’s new job

Jenny asked Cesare to pay for this meal without any psychological pressure. After paying the bill, Cesare drove her home. ——Speaking of which, Jenny is very uncomfortable with this point. In her original circle, the education of drinking and driving and driving and not drinking has been done very well. But in the United States, alcohol is too common in social situations, and white people seem to have a high alcohol tolerance. Cesare drank several glasses, both red and white wine, but he still seemed to be fine, his face They are not popular, and there is no taboo when it comes to drinking and driving. Just go on the road like this, and no one comes to check along the way.

"So, this is the community you live in." After arriving downstairs at her house, Cesare did not leave immediately, but got out of the car and looked around, "It's not bad, you don't have to move in a short time, Go find a lawyer tomorrow, this is Jim's number, contact him after confirming that the contract is ok, and he will take care of everything else for you."

"Okay." Jenny had to obey his arrangement.

"You worked in a restaurant before?" Cesare asked. "Quit it, now is not the time for you to reach out to the public."

"But I need living expenses." Jenny protested, "It may be a few months before the next opportunity. In these few months, I can't just sit around and do nothing. I just need money for food."

"Jim will contact you with a new job." Cesare said, he turned and walked towards the car door, but stopped halfway, "By the way, you don't have a boyfriend now, right? □□? Ambiguous object?"

Jenny hesitated for a moment, but before she could answer, Cesare said, "Divide it up, cut it off, the more thorough the better. If there is a **** tape, take it back right now and destroy it. I remember Jim saying you Before entering the industry, I had a good friend who was an actor’s assistant director—he is the only person who is qualified to stay in your social circle, you don’t need to have too many contacts with others, it’s not good for you.”

He stared at Jenny until he got her affirmative expression, then nodded goodbye, got into the car and walked away.

Is it too impatient to start arranging her life now? Jenny stood there watching the car, and after thinking about it, she shook her head and smiled bitterly: In fact, both of them knew that the cooperative relationship had officially started, and the contract was just another guarantee in the legal sense. Cesare Vigeri has been her manager since dinner.

How awesome is he, and how did he break up with Jennifer Bell? Is it too hasty to sign the contract without knowing these things? Everything was rushed in one day, in fact, I was in a hurry, maybe it should be delayed until after he returned to the United States——

Jenny cut off the distractions that would inevitably arise after these events. Cesare Vijeri was the best choice she could find, and it was definitely the right decision to seize this opportunity. Otherwise she will have to wait two more months to see if any agent is interested in her after CSI airs, if there is no Cesare, even if CAA offers her an olive branch in two months (the odds are very low) , the attitude will definitely not be as unreserved as today, and the resources will not be inclined to her.

Although he is domineering, tyrannical, indifferent, and has a strong desire to control, Cesare is a senior manager of CAA. Like her, she pursues excellence, has a common goal, and has a discerning eye. I believe that Jenny is the talent he is looking for.

In short, what we need to do now is to trust Cesare as much as possible, and turn more of our attention to the tempering and polishing of acting skills. Cesare's evaluation of her is actually very pertinent. Now she is far from being outstanding in acting. Appearance is equally important and indispensable.

She didn't sleep very well that night and had many chaotic dreams. The next day Jenny woke up early and called Dave.

"Lawyer? Of course no problem." Dave said, "I can ask Lynch, or Sarah, oh, Sarah is the best, her lawyer is of course the most experienced in this area, wait a minute, I called you back."

It didn't take long for her to get a call from a lawyer, who charged 300 dollars an hour. The review contract was calculated according to the difficulty.

Okay, she just signed the contract, is she going to be poor? Jenny smiled wryly and put down the phone: The rent is about to be paid. For filming, her monthly salary is estimated to be cut in half. After the rent is paid, and the thousand and five thousand dollars is paid, she will not even be able to eat. If the CBS check arrives late, it might actually be in debt.

Dave quickly called, "How is it, is it settled?"

"It's done," Jenny tried to answer briskly, "Are you free at noon, let's have dinner together? I'm still working late today."

As a result, Dave had a working lunch at noon, and Jenny asked him for dinner again, and when she learned that Dave was still not available, she no longer invited him.

At that time, she was transferred to a night shift for a week, and the shooting only took five days. In the remaining two days, Jenny exercised at home during the day and went to the restaurant at night, but she did it for eight hours. Johnny, Jessica and others didn't notice anything wrong.

The review results from the lawyer's side were very accurate. I called Jenny before leaving get off work on the third working day and told her that there were no hidden trap clauses in the contract, so she could submit it with confidence. Then Jenny waited for another two days before the contract was "slowly" delivered to her home by the Federation. After she received the contract, she called Jim, and Jim immediately arranged for someone to pick up the contract.

"Cesare has already gone through the process with the company," he explained to Jenny on the phone, with a somewhat pretentious tone, "You can go to the restaurant to resign today, and the company will give you a seal after signing the contract." Schedule some classes, you can't work full time anymore."

"But I need money," Jenny pointed out. "Mr. Vijay said he would arrange a new part-time job for me. Is this true? Without this commitment, I would not be able to go to the restaurant to resign."

"Well, Chesa and I have explained it." Jim's voice was a little dull, "You go to resign first, if you want, you can start a new job immediately after resigning. Give me Call and I'll pick you up."

Jenny had no choice but to shout to the phone, "Remember to bring me back my underwear!"

Jim choked in embarrassment, and he hung up the phone.

The process of resignation went smoothly, and Johnny obviously expected it long ago. Apart from sighing, he didn't say much, but let Jenny promise to return to the Hollywood star if he needs to work in the future. "There's nothing to be shy about. Many people's acting careers will have temporary setbacks. Waiters are a lucrative industry, and they deserve to be a proper supplement."

Jenny had a good impression of him, and she thanked him politely. As for Jessica, she never met Jenny face to face. The moment she knew that Jenny was coming to resign, she disappeared through the back door, probably smoking a cigarette.

As for Kevin and the others, they were all joking, telling Jenny not to forget to take care of them in the future. Johnny even took out his camera and said with a smile, "Leave a souvenir for now. When Jenny becomes famous, this group photo will be our town The treasure of the store."

Among the good-natured jokes from everyone, Jenny was pushed to Johnny's side and smiled cooperatively, leaving several photos amidst the cheers, marking the end of her short career as a restaurant waiter .

After the wages were settled, she had more than a thousand dollars in her hand, which just offset the lawyer's fees a few days ago. Jenny's current possessions are more than two thousand dollars in the bank, and the five dollars that were expected to come. Thousand dollar check. Perhaps for most Americans, these are enough for them, but unfortunately Jenny is a white-skinned and yellow-hearted egg person. The characteristics of the Chinese nation’s industriousness, simplicity and love for savings have left deep marks in her heart, and she has no source of income. , She suddenly felt insecure, and as she walked home, she couldn't wait to contact Jim, "I resigned, what about the new job you promised?"

Jim also drove downstairs to her house soon. After Jenny got into the car, he handed her a brown paper bag. "The clothes and pants are all inside."

Jenny opened it, and was a little surprised—the underwear and trousers had been washed and folded properly, and there was a faint smell of car perfume in the paper bag, which seemed to have been in it for a while. It doesn't look like it's been hastily washed and dried in the past few hours and stuffed in. That said, Jim hadn't done anything lewd with her clothes.

She looked at Jim in surprise, and Jim rolled his eyes, "Come on, I have a limit, too. If I want sex, I'll go to a bar and use my job as an excuse to strike up a conversation instead of hiding Hitting someone's underwear in a dark, cramped apartment."

Jenny laughed, "Wow, confession makes you more attractive."

"Will that make you want to go on a date with me?" Jim asked, looking anxious, "Because I do, baby, and all you have to do is ask."

Jenny said. "But Mr. Vijay told me not to date for a short time."

"Ah, yes." Jim stopped joking, and his tone returned to normal, "Chesa will definitely arrange this, and you don't need a romantic relationship to distract you in the short term. Even if you want to fall in love, the person will not be like me The middle-aged man——Chesa will never allow it. Besides, you are indeed far beyond my level."

"Me?" Jenny didn't like Jim's last statement, "I only have more than two thousand dollars in my bank card, and I haven't eaten my last meal. Jim, where is my level?"

"Maybe you are down and out now." Jim said seriously, "but all you lack is an opportunity, and Cesare is your opportunity, girl, the moment you get his contract, you become a human being." It's just a matter of time. I knew the moment I decided to take you to Cesare that I would never get you again, and you would never drop your status to date me. Hollywood is actually a hierarchy World, you are one class, Cesare is one class, and I—me and Dave are another class, our class and your class will never intersect. I understand this, and Dave understands it .”

Jenny immediately thought of the friendly conversation between Jim and Dave on her last day of filming, and she was suddenly a little angry. "What is this? After Vijay decided to sign me, immediately asked you to warn Dave not to continue to be friends with me? Before I nodded, he had already started to interfere in my social circle?"

"What? Why did you suddenly jump here?" Jim exposed his shortcoming of slow reaction, and asked a few words in astonishment. Then he understood what Jenny meant. He shook his head and said, "No, no, Chesa didn't say that. Dave is an actor and assistant director, of course he is a good friend of the agent, and I just walked over to chat with him that afternoon. Both he and I want to pursue you, obviously, but we both It is impossible to climb up to you again, this is also a fact that both of us know well, I just licked each other's wounds with him in the past."

Jenny was still a little annoyed, but this time Jim was ahead of her and said, "Isn't this true? Chesa turned down the New York trip for you and came to the set to watch you act. How many people hate you, Chiesa is like a superstar in the free agency market, everyone wants to have him as their agent, and he came to the set for you! We all know, unless Mars Hit the earth, the twin towers fall, or he will sign you 100% - once he makes a decision, Boom, you fly away like a bird out of the cage, and us mortals can only chase you on the ground Shadows running around, that's what's going to happen in the future, we all know it, he figured it out before I did, that's why he's so hard to let go, so unhappy that I'm taking you to see Chesa. Anyone who's seen you act Everyone knows that you are talented, and Dave must have felt more deeply than everyone else, he knows what will happen after meeting Chesa, and he is unwilling to let you go."

He tilted his head thoughtfully and thought for a while, "If you ask me, he should be really obsessed with you. Wow, thinking about it this way, this man loves you so much."

Jenny rolled her eyes exaggeratedly, and made a broken gesture to him, "I see, can you be less verbose? Thank you for making my mood worse."

"Before you become a superstar, you already have a superstar temper." Jim parked the car in the driveway with a smile. "I like it."

Jenny got out of the car, squinted her eyes and looked at the house in front of her. It is not very big. It has two floors facing the street. The single floor is about a hundred square meters. It seems to have a backyard, which can be seen everywhere in Beverly Hills. Compared with the super mansion in the house, it is not particularly eye-catching, but the value must be quite high, probably equivalent to the difference between tens of millions and millions, anyway, it is not a house that she can afford now. Plus, the neighborhood already belongs to Beverly Hills.

"Where is this?" she asked, with a sense of foreboding. "I thought you were taking me to my new workplace."

"I am." Jim said cheerfully, "This is your new workplace—Cesare's home."

He pursed his lips and whistled, pointed to a big dog galloping out of the room, and introduced, "And this is your job."

Note: This chapter was written in early to mid-August, and I never expected that Hollywood would have **** these days. Zhaomen, hahaha, Cesare’s exhortation has become very interesting now. Makes sense...
