Chapter 99 Arrested(1/2)

Ronald let go of the male agent. The man was a little frightened and immediately jumped a few feet away and began to discuss in a low voice with the female agent who looked like his wife.

"What's going on? Why are they forcing you to be a vegetarian?" Ronald asked Pfeiffer.

"Michelle, you finally got rid of your addiction to tobacco, alcohol, and drugs. Eating animal products will make you fall into it again." The female agent said to Pfeiffer in a persuasive tone.

Ronald looked at both sides, and he couldn't figure out whether Michelle Pfeiffer's relationship with these two people was a compulsive behavior, or whether he was strict with her in order to get rid of bad habits, which was actually for her own good.

"Are you willing to go with them? If not, you can stay and I will arrange a place for you to live. Don't worry. They are just your agents, not your guardians..."

"No, Ronald, they are not registered agents. I don't have an agent. They forced me to become a vegetarian and I had to buy the high-priced vegetables they provided. A can of vegetable juice costs $50." Michelle Pfeiffer suddenly

He grabbed Ronald's arm tightly and loudly exposed the true face of the two so-called "agents".

"I'm very grateful to them for helping me get rid of my alcohol and tobacco addiction, but they took away all the money I earned from filming TV series." Pfeiffer said this in a low voice, and several beauties waiting for auditions were listening to the gossip.

.

"I think I have to ask you to leave, you two." Ronald took a step forward and said to the two scammers selling vegetable juice.

"Do I need to work for the New York police?"

"Is that Ronald? We will meet again, Michelle. That's it for today. We'll come back to you later. Don't forget that God taught us to be vegetarians." The man said something sinister, turned around and said

The woman left together.

"This matter is not over yet, but if it is true that they helped you get rid of your addiction, it will be a bit troublesome to get the money back. I can help you ask my lawyer." This kind of thing is actually quite difficult to define clearly. The scammer couple took advantage of the Philippines.

If he was wandering alone in Los Angeles, he pretended to be her in the beginning. Even if he went to court, it would be difficult to tell the difference.

Michelle Pfeiffer seemed to have just woken up from a nightmare, grabbing Ronald's arm and refusing to let go.

"I still have work to do. You can go there to rest for a while and have something to eat. I'll come find you later." Ronald pointed to the secretary at the front desk, who understood and took Pfeiffer over to rest.

Ronald regained his professional smile, "Sorry for wasting your time, Miss Brooke Shields, we can go in for the audition."

"Oh, your skills are very powerful, are they like those in the TV series "Kung Fu"?"

Brooke Shields looked at Ronald with a smile. Ronald subdued the man just now, which made her feel cool.

"Ahem," Terry reminded from the side.

Brooke Shields' smile immediately turned into a bitter smile, the smile in her eyes quickly faded, and her nose began to wrinkle, as if to say, "Look, my mother doesn't even care what I say."

"Come this way, Brooke."

The two CAA agents, Paula and Richard, who had just been waiting at the front desk, saw the real-life drama just now.

"Ha, our Ronald is still a passionate man." Paula said to Richard.

"He just has some sense of justice." Richard felt that Ronald had a bad temper with him.



After finishing the morning audition for the heroine, several people with the power to decide on the candidate fell silent.

Regardless of Brooke Shields' fame, just judging from her audition results, she looked better than the other candidates.

"After all, I am a model, so my camera sense is unique." Director Zeffirelli said.

"Why don't you consider the Pfeiffer recommended by Ronald? Although he is a little older, he looks very small." Gubel mentioned Michelle Pfeiffer's name, "What do you think, Ronald?"

"The director is right." Ronald said after the famous audition, he has become much smoother now. "Considering the commercial value, Brooke Shields can undoubtedly bring in a lot of box office."

"I'll leave first. I'll have a meeting with my PolyGram colleagues in the afternoon to discuss this matter. Okay, let's have some lunch and you can continue the male lead audition in the afternoon."

Ronald took a corner of the take-out Domino's pizza, walked to the desk behind the front desk, and handed it to Michelle Pfeiffer. She rested here for a long time.

"I still have to take photos for the male lead audition in the afternoon. I'll prepare a place for you when I'm done. Don't worry. You've been a vegetarian for a long time and you can't eat too much meat at the beginning. I brought you a piece of pizza."

"Thank you, Ronald."

When Paula heard about the arrangement of accommodation, she winked at Richard.

"My aunt has a place in Manhattan, and she lives with Donna, my cousin. You can live with them and there will be no problem in the short term."

Richard smiled at Paula.

"Hello, Ronald. We are Paula and Richard from CAA Economics." The two of them introduced themselves to Ronald.

"Hello. Sorry, I'm busy here and didn't notice you just now." Ronald shook hands with the two of them and greeted them warmly.

"Mr. Niceta asked us to come this time. It is a tradition of CAA to value customers. For every customer who signs a contract, we have to interview them multiple times to let them understand CAA's corporate culture and strive for maximum benefits for customers.

.”

Paula began to recite the words of CAA.

"Mr. Li, do you have any new scripts during this time?" Richard asked Ronald about his screenwriting works.

"The 'Intersection' that I sent the outline to Mr. Niceta has been completed. I can ask you to take it back to Los Angeles when the time comes."

"In addition, my aunt watches the Korean war drama 'MASH' on CBS every week, and she asked me to write a Vietnam War version of the Army Field Hospital."

"I am currently considering writing a script that reflects the Vietnam War. You know that my uncle is a veteran who died in Vietnam. There are many Vietnam War veterans around me and their relatives who can be interviewed. I have accumulated a lot of interview materials.

Just getting ready to write."

This chapter is not finished yet. Please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "That's great. This is the agency contract we brought. In accordance with industry rules, we charge a 10% commission." Paula was actually a little impatient to listen to Luo

Nader talks about his new play.

"Okay, I have to let my lawyer look at it. If there is no problem, I can sign it soon."

"No problem, we will stay in New York for another day. It would be great if you could sign today." Paula said.

"I have to call my lawyer. There should be no problem." Ronald frowned but agreed.

Ronald contacted lawyer Lindsay Dole. Lindsay was very busy now, but she still attached great importance to her first client and promised to work overtime at night to show him the contract.

"Ronald, can I call you Ronald?" Richard was still very interested in the script. "Since The Return and The Deer Hunter the year before last, Hollywood has been chasing Vietnam War-themed movie scripts. If you have time,

If so, I would like to have an in-depth discussion with you."

Looking up at his watch, Ronald said, "No problem, my lawyer won't be free until evening. Why don't we all go to my apartment and I can chat together."

After speaking, Ronald wrote down his apartment address and phone number and handed it to Paula. How about we make an appointment at six o'clock in the evening? The food in the East Village is very good, just opposite my apartment.

"I know, Ukrainian restaurant. Then we'll see you there." Paula, Richard said goodbye to him.

After leaving Michelle Pfeiffer in the care of the front desk lady, Ronald returned to the waiting area and called the male actors one by one to audition.

"Where is your agent? Why didn't he come this time?" Ronald saw the handsome boy who participated in the last audition for Famous World, and this time he was the last one.

His teeth have been corrected and he has more sunshine. However, the dentures are obviously inferior and the color is plastic. At first glance, they look like the kind of dental crowns bought in the supermarket. They are not consistent with the color of the surrounding teeth.

"Yes, he only gave me a contact number in New York and asked me to call this contact after I got the role, and he would be responsible for signing the contract."

Sunshine Boy is very motivated, "I have asked my family to read the novel to me. I recorded it with a tape recorder and listened to it repeatedly. I feel that I have captured the characteristics of the male protagonist."

Why are there such irresponsible agents? Ronald feels that he is quite lucky. Whether it is Eddie or several people from CAA, they are at least very professional.

"Okay, come with me."

After the audition, Ronald sent Sunshine Boy out again, "We won't tell you the result on site. If there is any news, we will notify your agent."

"You can call this number to find me. I'm staying with relatives in New York. Just ask them to call Tom."

"Okay." Ronald understood Tom's situation. Maybe his agent was not optimistic about him at all and was on the verge of giving up on him. "Keep working hard. With your appearance and hard work, you will definitely succeed.

.”

God is sometimes unfair. For such a motivated young man, during the audition just now, it can be seen that he has prepared a lot and is very photogenic. However, the crew has basically selected Brooke Shields as the female lead, and the alternative is Michelle Pfeiffer.

.This boy’s height makes it difficult for them to play roles together.

With anticipation, Tom turned and walked out the door.

Just then Paula and Richard walked in again, "Why are you so careless? You can even forget the briefcase. The secrets in the agent's briefcase can be worth millions of dollars. You must never forget it.

.”

"I'm sorry, Paula, I can't do it anymore." Richard was a little depressed and asked the front desk secretary about the whereabouts of his briefcase.

"Hallelujah! God, what did I see?" Paula looked up and saw the silhouette of Tom, the sunshine boy, and quickly chased after him.

Tom was quite satisfied with his audition. He ran excitedly out of the studio door and ran all the way to the subway station.

"Wait, wait, don't run." Paula chased her out on high heels, but when she saw that she couldn't catch up, she turned over and entered the studio.

"Richard, go find Ronald quickly. I want to know who that sunshine boy is?"



Ronald had already asked for leave from Julia and director Zeffirelli, and took Michelle Pfeiffer with him first.

"I'm not a nutritionist, but I was a wrestler for a while. Being vegetarian for a long time may cause amenorrhea and infertility in women." Ronald was talking to Pfeiffer in the passenger seat of the Honda Accord.

"Sports athletes must have a balanced nutrition. Don't believe that a vegetarian diet can help you lose weight or make your skin better. Only by exercising enough can you maintain your figure and improve your skin. You must also drink more water."

Michelle Pfeiffer looked at Ronald, her eyes seeming unwilling to leave his face. The boy had saved himself today and escaped from the control of two vegetarian extremists.

"Human evolution is not suitable for vegetarianism. After millions of years of evolution in the Paleolithic Age, humans are suitable for eating meat, eating grains, and eating fruits. All kinds of food are balanced. As long as they eat less industrialized food made from corn syrup."

The car arrived at Karen's aunt's house. Ronald told his aunt about Michelle Pfeiffer's situation. The aunt had a very sense of justice and asked Pfeiffer to stay at home until he could contact her family in Orange County.
