Chapter 15: Fate

"Today is the weekend. Can't I look for you if it's okay?"

Meryl Streep's eyes flashed when he heard Herak's words, then he picked up the napkin and wiped his mouth as if nothing had happened, and gave Herak a look.

"Of course I can find me."

Herac shrugged his shoulders, and saw her flickering eyes, he knew she had something to do. He knocked on the table and said with Tao Kan. "Are you here to see me?" He blinked ambiguously.

Meryl Streep looked at Herak's obvious ambiguous eyes and couldn't help but tremble. "You don't fit my partner."

Herac heard this and couldn't help but curiously said, "Then tell me why it doesn't suit your partner."

Meryl Streep rolled her eyes. "I remember one time in school performance, where many girls were chatting with you." As she said that, she looked up and down at Herac without shyness, she said contemptuously: "You are just a person who can't control your lower body."

"It's all men."

Herac couldn't help but subconsciously retorted, and then said with a dark look on his face: "You are not my aesthetic nor are you."

Meryl Streep glared at him fiercely. "You are saying that I'm ugly in disguise."

Herak twitched the corner of his mouth. Meryl Streep was not the look he liked, but he wouldn't say these words. He quickly expressed his opinion: "This is not what I said. Although you are not beautiful, you are quite natural."

“It’s almost the same.”

Meryl Streep lets go of Herak and waves his hand. "Okay, okay, I won't go around in circles with you. Do you think I can sign a star contract with you, United States?" He said, looking at him with some anticipation.

Herac was stunned when he heard this, obviously he didn't expect Meryl Streep to look for him for this.

He remembered that in the original time and space, Meryl Streep's agency was the MGM Film Company, the largest number of Hollywood film companies. Some of the films she starred in were shot by MGM Studios. It can be said that she is equivalent to MGM's number one sister.

Meryl Streep actually wanted to join United Film Company, which surprised Herak. After all, Meryl Streep was more interested in the plot when reading the script and liked to challenge different roles. If she chose one of commercial and art films, at least 95% of her would choose the art route instead of popcorn movie route. In the seven major Hollywood majors in the 1960s, MGM produced more art films.

Meryl Streep should also find a way to get MGM to sign her instead of coming to him.

Although the two are not lovers, they are good friends like best friends. Herac is very clear that some of the films produced by the United States Film Company he wants to run in the future are commercial routes. He only chooses relatively films for art films, which makes him never think about signing Meryl Streep into the United States Film Company.

Looking at Herak's hesitant eyes, Meryl Streep muttered a little, "I heard from Mr. Robert Duval that you are planning to find time to sign a star contract with him. Why do you feel hesitant when I get to this place? Are I not suitable to be an actor?"

"No, you're very suitable to be an actor."

Herak quickly was sure that Meryl Streep was very optimistic about her. Seeing that the other party looked at him expectantly, he said helplessly: "Don't forget that you haven't graduated yet. Is it too early to join the agency now?"

"It's getting late."

Meryl Streep gave Herak a blank look, sat upright slightly, took out a business card and put it in front of Herak and said proudly: "Look, this is the business card given to me by the agent of William Morris's agency. They have a fancy to my bright future and want to sign me, but I rejected it."

Looking at the agent of William Morris agency written on the business card: Long Mayer, this made a flash of light flash in Herak's eyes.

If you want to talk about who is the leader in the brokerage industry at present, it should be William Morris's agency, which firmly sits at the top of the brokerage industry, and other brokerage companies cannot compare with him at all.

The early 1960s was the glorious moment of William Morris' agency.

But in Herak's view, this is an old local snake that can be challenged at any time.

This business card made Herak think a lot and return the business card to Meryl Streep. Instead of thinking about not signing her, he said: "You can sign a contract with Robert Duval in a while!"

Seeing Herak agreeing, Meryl Streep's eyes lit up slightly and he couldn't wait to say, "Then I'll say it, don't regret it."

Herac nodded helplessly, raised his hand and looked at the time on his wrist. It was already five o'clock, and asked, "What are you planning to do now!"

Meryl Streep looked at the sky outside that was not yet dark and stood up and said, "Let's go around here."

"Let's go!"

The two walked out of the restaurant and headed towards other places in Universal Studios.

In the evening, there were still many tourists walking around at Universal Studios. In addition to those who were traveling, some extras were also running around, looking for a crew to recruit extras.

Walking on the road to Universal Studios, tourists can even meet some stars they like.

Walking in the crowd, Herak and Lil Streep chatted and looked at the crews who were filming closed. The entertainment facilities around them were obviously not as much as those who were filming.

"Hey, Lucas, we still have an extra who is waiting for us. Hurry up and find a seat. After filming this scene, we should go back."

Walking to a place, a familiar name made Herac stop and look at the crew filming on the left. He saw a slightly fat young man wearing glasses speaking to the white young man who was younger than him.

I saw a white young man with thick black beard, wearing a pair of glasses, holding a board in his hand, and he saw that he was an assistant director.

整个剧组十几人,中间摆放着凳子和桌子,作为这场戏的拍摄地点.

“Isn’t this Francis Ford Coppola and George Lucas?”

Herac was a little surprised to meet these two people here.

If he remembers correctly, George Lucas is still a college student now, and there are still several months before graduation, and Francis Ford Coppo should work in Roger Coleman's film studio, and neither of them is still in a career.

Looking at the familiar faces of both of them, Herac knew that the slightly fat young man was called Francis Ford Coppola, and the white young man wearing glasses was George Lucas.

""What's wrong."

Meryl Streep saw Herak stop and looked at him in confusion.

The white young man walked out of the crew. Herac pondered for a while and said to Meryl Streep: "You wait for me here." As she said that, she walked towards the white young man in doubt.

"Are you looking for extras?"

George Lucas looked at the handsome Herac in front of him and hesitated for a while. Thinking that they were filming a short film, he didn't have much request, so he quickly pulled him towards the crew. "You are the only one."

Francis Ford Coppola saw George Lucas pulling him over, and looked up and down at Herac and said, "I'm just a scene, can you act in $20?"

“我可以免费出演,体验一把当群演的滋味.”

Herak's words surprised the two of them, and for the first time he heard an extra who didn't have money.

"hey-hey…"

Francis Ford Coppo smiled, but the other party didn't have money, so he didn't need to be in vain. He patted Herac on the shoulder and said, "Brother, then you go and prepare."

Under the leadership of the crew, Herac changed into the waiter's clothes. After George Lucas' brief teaching, the shooting began soon.

A small scene ended the shooting within a few minutes after Francis Ford Coppo called out.

Herak changed out of the waiter's clothes, looked at Francis Ford Coppo and George Lucas who were packing things, and stepped forward and asked, "Are you planning to go back?"

Francis Ford Coppo packed up the camera in his hand and said without raising his head: "The scene has been finished, of course we will go back, why haven't you left yet?"

Listening to the other party's impatient tone, Herac took out two business cards and stuffed them into their hands with familiarity. "This is my business card. If you have something to do, you can come to me."

Francis Ford Coppo browed and looked at Herac who was dressed in a very often crew. Then he looked down at the business card in his hand, and then widened his eyes.

"United States Films Chairman: Herakford."

The very conspicuous United States logo was engraved on the upper left corner of the business card, and the familiar name made Francis Ford Coppo a little stunned.

"It's him."

George Lucas's exclamation brought Francis Ford Coppo to his senses, took a breath, but looked up but saw no Herac.

This was the first time they saw the appearance of the chairman of Lianmei Film Company.

"Where are others!"

George Lucas quickly searched for Herac's trace in the crowd, and saw that he had seen anyone, and took the business card in his hand and looked at Francis Ford Coppo in his face.

Both of them were surprised to apply for a group cast in their crew, the chairman of United States Film Company. As a younger than them, Herac became the chairman of United States. Among their younger generations, he is famous.

Thinking of what Herac said when he just gave them a business card, both of them looked bright and they were in a complicated mood to put the business card in their hearts.

No matter how shock he brought to the two, Herak and Meryl Streep stayed in Universal Studios for a while, and then left Universal Studios under the driver's pickup.
