American winner takes all

Chapter 390 The Promised Land
The young blonde girl who had just stepped onto the stage did not even make it to the center of the stage. Then I heard Ethan O'Connor, who was sitting at the judges' table, speak directly.

"You made the cut."

She doubted her ears for a moment and thought she heard wrongly.

This young girl looks completely different from other contestants. Not only is she naked, but she is also dressed very casually. She wears a pullover, a pair of jeans, and a pair of flip-flops on her feet. Others are dressed carefully and put a lot of emphasis on their clothing. Be careful and try to put your best foot forward. She seems to be "coming out to make soy sauce". However, she has long, loose golden hair and a face that is pleasing to the eye, so she can be regarded as an out-and-out beauty.

Not to mention her, even the other people at the judges' table were puzzled by Ethan's sudden words.

"Ethan, she hasn't performed yet." Lisa, who was sitting next to Ethan, reminded her in a low voice.

"She doesn't need to perform." Ethan shook his head.

He recognized this young girl. Although she looked extremely green, he still recognized her.

However, considering that she was not well known to the public at this time and was perhaps too immature, Ethan needed to test her, so he took back his words.

"What's your name?"

Lisa asked.

"Blake Lively lives in Tarzana." The young girl said, Tarzana is located at the southern end of the San Fernando Valley.

"Just down south?" Lisa asked, this time joining Kelsey as a judge in the Los Angeles competition.

"That's right." Blake Lively nodded.

The recording venue for the talent show is in the Sacred Valley, not far from Tarzana.

Lisa was lost in thought, and then tried to ask: "Elaine Lively's little daughter?"

"Yes, you know my mother?" Blake's eyes lit up.

"Of course, she will attend the broker association dinner, and her father will also follow." Lisa nodded.

"Her father is a familiar face who often appears in TV series, and her mother Elaine is also an agent. Her mother and we occasionally introduce business to each other. Do you remember that movie? American Pie, and her mother was also involved. You two also I met him on the set," Lisa introduced Ethan in a low voice.

As long as it was related to Hollywood, Lisa could always establish some friendship with that person.

It sounds like she has some friendship with Blake Lively's mother. As for meeting on the set, Ethan has no memory at all. He didn't expect that Blake Lively comes from a "Hollywood dual-career" family. Strictly speaking, Blake Lively can also be considered a second-generation star, but his parents are not so well-known.

"How old are you?" Lisa then asked.

"Fifteen years old." Blake Lively said after a pause.

"Have you ever been involved with cheerleading before?"

"Of course, I was a cheerleader at Burbank High School."

The blue cheerleading uniform appeared in Ethan's mind. He clearly remembered that he had a lovely date with the cheerleader of Burbank High School, but he couldn't remember the other person's name. The only vivid memory left was that uniform. Cheerleading uniforms.

"This world is really small." Ethan muttered.

"Can you give us a section?" Lisa leaned on the back of the chair and asked with interest.

"Of course, ma'am."

Blake showed off the cheerleader's cabaret-style moves, virtually shaking the bouquet in his hand, and shouting slogans. It looked very standard. When he smiled at the end, Blake's eyes narrowed, which was a little cute.

Of course, to say how attractive Blake looks now is not to say that she is an actress, not a professional dancer, and a professional cheerleader, such as Kai on the other side of Ethan. There are still many gaps in Erxi's bright and charming style when she dances.

"For the sake of her parents, I think we can give her this opportunity." Lisa whispered.

"But she is only fifteen years old. At this age, she should be studying in school instead of participating in show business." Kelsey had a negative opinion. It was obvious that this little girl was still a high school student and it was enough to treat cheerleading as an extracurricular activity. .

"I think we should consider her parents' opinions and see how her parents plan for Blake's future life." Ethan said at this time.

He's obviously on Lisa's side, and he's not ready to give up on this future Hollywood beauty.

But what Kelsey said is indeed a problem. If her parents are not prepared to let her studies be affected, then she obviously will not be able to enter the Angels cheerleading team.

"You're on Lisa's side again." Kelsey said with some jealousy.

Lisa, who got Ethan's approval, immediately informed Blake of the promotion.

"Oh, are you promoted?" Blake raised his eyebrows with a little pride, feeling that the Angel cheerleading team was nothing more than that.

"This is just the beginning. There will be rematches, divisional rounds, and finally the national finals." Lisa explained that "Searching for Angels" is a TV talent show and naturally has a corresponding process.

"Okay." Blake shrugged, not thinking about the next round of competition.

In fact, it was just an accident that she came to the competition. She was bored at home in the afternoon and went shopping with her mother. While waiting for a red light, her mother noticed the lively crowd outside the recording studio, so the Hollywood agent made an impromptu suggestion to let her My daughter also went to try it.

At this moment, Blake Lively walked towards the audience, where her mother was waiting. When she heard the news about her daughter's promotion, she was even more excited than the girl herself.

Then her mother looked at Lisa at the judges' table, and the two made eye contact.

Ethan whispered something to Lisa, and then Lisa whispered Ethan's request to a staff member.

"Let the mother and daughter not leave in a hurry. Ethan and I want to talk to her about her daughter during the recording break."

·
Next, several more contestants appeared on the stage, and Ethan, Lisa, and Kelsey were always able to find out the problems of these contestants from different angles and eliminate them one by one.

"I saw the tattoo on your wrist. Sorry, we have strict rules on this, out!" Lisa found an excuse to eliminate this person. She couldn't directly say that the other person was ugly.

"Your waist is as hard as cement, out!" Kelsey waved her hand. A good figure is the basic condition for an Angel cheerleader, and now her eyes have become particularly picky.

As for Ethan, he was not only picky, but also very venomous. Even if one of them got past Lisa and Kelsey, he was still eliminated by Ethan without hesitation.

"She is married. Unless she is willing to divorce, Marilyn Monroe will not be able to join the Angels cheerleading team even if she is alive." Ethan said to the two of them.

There are some truths that people will not say clearly, but this is the fact. A female celebrity who is married or has a boyfriend is certainly not more attractive than a single female celebrity.

All in all, there was a lot of "out" at the game.

After many contestants were eliminated in a row, another woman finally appeared that made Ethan's eyes shine.

"Hi, Ethan." She smiled at Ethan and greeted him as soon as she took the stage, completely ignoring the other three judges.

"I don't like her red hair," Lisa said almost immediately.

"And her peach-shaped chin." Kelsey also said.

If a contestant is found to have problems with his appearance, he obviously won't go far.

"She seems to know you and is saying hello to you, Ethan." Lisa curled her lips, looked at Ethan sideways, and said sourly.

"Have we met?" Ethan couldn't remember this woman.

"Of course, when you are in college..." The other party nodded.

"Ahem, what's your name?" Ethan immediately changed the subject.

But she couldn't let her continue. Ethan's private life was chaotic when he was in college.

Who knows if she slept with him, like a cheerleader from a Southeastern Conference college, a female Crimson Tide fan, or a classmate from the University of Alabama?
"I'm curious, where did you meet this red-haired lady?!" Lisa raised her eyebrows and immediately asked. "Ethan must have forgotten that when he visited UCLA, I took him on a campus tour!" the other party explained.

"Oh, it turned out to be the hostess's plan?" Lisa immediately came back to her senses.

Ethan had already made a name for himself in high school. Those universities spared no expense in recruiting him, sending out seniors, and being a one-stop shop when Ethan visited schools. Although Ethan never mentioned this on his own initiative. But everyone is the default.

The only thing to blame is that he became famous too early, and there is nothing that can be done about it.

"No, I'm not..." She was about to explain that she was not a member of the school's hostess plan. She just happened to meet Ethan outside the principal's office, but then she thought about it and decided that her relationship with Ethan was actually harmful to her. It was more beneficial to her, so she deliberately stopped the topic.

"By the way, before I can introduce myself, my name is Jessica Chastain. I'm from Sacramento. I'm currently studying acting at the Juilliard School. I have experience in stage plays..."

Ethan felt Lisa and Kelsey's eyes focused on him, and then they turned to the young girl named Jessica Chastain.

"You should know that this selection is open. Even if you and Ethan have known each other before, he will not make any biased selection towards you." Lisa said with a serious expression.

She was obviously warning this Jessica not to get benefits just because she had some relationship with Ethan.

"Also, although that was a few years ago, if you need help privately, you can still contact us." Kelsey said softly.

In some small things, they would often be jealous of each other, but in big things, they would not hesitate to defend Ethan and stand with him. At this moment, one can be regarded as a good person and the other a bad person.

"You misunderstood, I just came here to participate in the selection, and I didn't want to get Ethan's convenience." Jessica was a little frightened by Lisa and quickly explained.

In the subsequent presentation session, Jessica's performance was not very good, but at this time, in order to avoid the situation becoming complicated, Kelsey and Lisa were very smart and did not give any comments.

"I'm going to let her advance." Ethan whispered.

At this time, Ethan had already recalled this Jessica, and no wonder he thought she looked familiar. This would be a first-line Hollywood actress and model worker in the future.

"You really think she has great potential, right?" Lisa frowned slightly. She had seen countless young actors and had developed a pair of piercing eyes. Such a woman is definitely not ugly, but she is definitely not ugly either. Stunning.

"What if?" Ethan asked.

She is a real model worker who makes seven movies a year, and she is in her early twenties, which is the "prime age" among cheerleaders.

Ethan had already spoken, and Lisa couldn't stop him.

After hearing the news of promotion, the model worker breathed a sigh of relief and said that she would prepare well for future competitions.

As the model worker came to an end, Ethan began to make plans.

In one day, I met two A-list actresses who would become famous in the future. I was really lucky today.

But having said that, this doesn't seem to have anything to do with luck. No matter what their purpose is for coming to compete, they are essentially interested in the platform of the Angel Cheerleaders.

The Angel Cheerleaders rely on football to have a broad mass base in the United States, and now they are holding a grand nationwide audition. This is of course very attractive to young girls who want to become famous. It can even be said to be the best choice. After all, they Behind us are Lisa and Michael Ovitz, and anyone with a discerning eye can certainly see the resources these two bring to the table.

If Charlize Theron had been born a few years later, I'm afraid she would have participated.

So, these two are not the only future female stars I met later? It is very likely that other regions will also have heavyweight players participating...

To extend it further, as long as I can continue to maintain the strong competitiveness of the Angel Cheerleaders, auditions will always exist. Then there will always be young girls coming to try their luck. And I happen to have memories about the future and can accurately screen, which will further enhance the competitiveness of the Angel Cheerleading Team. The strong will always be strong. Maybe in a few years, the Angel Cheerleaders will become the "promised land flowing with milk and honey" in the hearts of all newcomers, and then become the "temple" of Hollywood actresses.

And as the master of the temple, it is almost difficult for me to eat...

"Let's go and talk to Elaine about her daughter." Lisa stood up at this time.

It was already a break in recording. Ethan, Lisa and Kelsey came backstage together, where Blake Lively and her mother Elaine Lively were waiting in a lounge.

"We were just going out for shopping, and we happened to meet you at the audition, so I asked Blake to try. She is at Bamburgh High School, but the most popular girl is also the cheerleader, so I knew she could advance." Blake's mother was very satisfied with Blake's performance today and was proud of her.

As soon as Lisa saw her mother's attitude, she felt that this matter was interesting, so she mentioned the signing issue.

In the film and television industry, minors are strictly protected. The Angel Cheerleading Team itself is quite special. It is a "performance group" and involves many legal issues.

"I actually have some doubts. After all, she is only fifteen years old now. I'm afraid..."

Worried about affecting your studies? Ethan turned his head and looked at the little girl sitting next to his mother. She was lowering her head and clasping her phone to send a text message. Her fingertips were moving rapidly. The girl's hands were very nimble with pink nail polish.

"I'm afraid the league won't allow her to join the team." Blake's mother said.

It turns out that I was afraid of this.

"You don't have to worry about this. Ethan has enough say within the league, and the NFL will not stop Ethan on these small matters." Lisa took the initiative to speak for Ethan.

Now the conversation between the two turned to Ethan. Blake's mother was very happy with Ethan and said that Lisa was lucky and found a good man.

"He is indeed a good man, and he was chased to the talent show by his old acquaintances." Lisa said with emotion.

Apparently it was meant for Ethan to hear.

Before Ethan could speak, Blake's mother responded immediately.

"Lisa Vigil, just have fun if you can find Ethan. If he weren't a Mormon, there would be so many young girls in the university, and it wouldn't be your turn anyway. He is also doing it for all of you to go to heaven in the future. You all should be grateful for your hard work.”

It’s really hard for Lisa to refute this sentence.

Mormon men find new people to join the family for the good of everyone. After all, the more family members there are, the greater the chance of going to heaven.

"You are absolutely right, Ms. Lively." Ethan nodded, with a serious look on his face.

Isn’t this just for this family? !

"What kind of bullshit sect is this?" Lisa cursed secretly, wishing she could blow up the Mormon Temple in Salt Lake City.

On the surface, he could only admit his mistake to Ethan in a gentle voice.

"Husband, you've worked hard. It's all because I'm too old and can't give you more babies." Lisa whispered in Ethan's ear.

Kelsey also hugged Ethan's arm. Unlike Lisa, she really felt sorry for Ethan, and even felt a little self-blame, feeling that she was sometimes too petty.

Ethan is doing it for his own good, but he always wants to be favored by Ethan alone. It is really selfish...

At this time, the little girl also raised her head, and was somewhat surprised to see that this player was living so well in private.

"Ahem, my daughter is still watching, Lisa? Lisa, please pay attention." Blake's mother quickly reminded her.

Next we talked about business, but Blake looked at Ethan and said:

"Sorry, Mr. Ethan, actually my mother just had a sudden whim. I am not planning to join the Angel Cheerleading Team."

Blake thought this was too weird.

"I'm not planning to let her participate in the show either." Ethan explained immediately.

The other cheerleaders are all adults after all, so for a 15-year-old girl to wear the cool uniform of the Angels Cheerleaders and show herself to an adult audience, he would be crazy to do this. This will obviously cause huge public pressure. If they are really labeled as such, the Angel Cheerleaders may not be able to disband on the spot.

Therefore, from the beginning, Ethan was not prepared to let her be a first-line member of the Angels cheerleading team.

"You will join Angel Academy..." Ethan began to tell everything.
