The Best Actor in the Vase of Meiyu

Chapter 153 High-Level Meeting
The plan of the day is in the morning.

As the sun rises, Century City has already begun to get busy. This area located on the west side of the center of Los Angeles is not only the area with the highest concentration of business buildings in the city, but also the heart of the entire Hollywood——

Film companies, music companies, brokerage companies, public relations companies and other industry-related companies are all bustling here. Although more than 50,000 people flock to Century City every day to start work, less than 6,000 people can live in it. In this center of power.

William Morris, as the oldest agency in Hollywood, is located in Century City, witnessing the comings and goings of all living things. After a century of polishing, it has already become a landmark of Century City. Even now, innovative artists have taken away all the The limelight, but this is still a place of pilgrimage for agents when they first entered the industry.

Three hundred and sixty-five days a year, all year round.

Including today.

"Edgar..."

"Edgar!"

The calls came from far and near, and Edgar Cook had to cover the phone receiver, raised his voice to the source of the sound and replied, "I'm talking to the producer..."

But obviously, the other party didn't care at all. He didn't even look at Edgar and shouted to himself, "Partner meeting room, in three minutes."

After saying a word, the man left quickly and followed Harry Smith, who was texting in front of him——

Harry didn't even look at Edgar from beginning to end, focusing on the matters at hand. The two of them had already turned around and walked away.

Edgar was speechless and rolled his eyes, but he took a deep breath and controlled himself.

Donald-Morin, the agent assistant at the next desk, raised his eyebrows in an exaggerated manner and joked, "Others who want to participate don't have the chance yet."

Edgar smiled and said, "Why don't you go over to the meeting instead of me? Just in time, my work here can be finished, the budget meeting."

Donald's smile stayed at the corner of his mouth, his expression became a little sarcastic, and he stepped back, "Haha, you mean, if I take it seriously, I will be the one who makes a fool of myself, and I will be treated like a circus monkey."

Edgar ignored the other party, took a deep breath, faced the phone again, and smiled, "...How about this, I will sort out what I just said and send it to you via email, so that the details will be clearer. We can use the email next time for you. Let’s discuss the specific situation on the list, what do you think?”

After a few clicks to sort out the situation, Edgar hung up the phone.

At this time, Edgar raised his head and looked at Donald, "I'm serious. Do you think I can talk in there, or at least look familiar? No, I'm the secretary."

He paused and repeated, "Secretary."

After saying that, Edgar packed up his notebook and walked quickly towards the conference room——

These are all true.

Although Edgar had been promoted to a junior agent a few months ago, and during this period, he had successively signed three actors and officially entered the work of an agent, the situation has not fundamentally changed.

Those three actors are all blue-collar actors, suitable for some specific roles. Their situation is simple. Any movie or TV show is a plug-and-play type. There is never a lack of work. The cost of each performance is low. The workload has been very steady.

To be honest, they are much more stable than those young actors with outstanding appearance. Being an actor is really a job and may never become a big hit, but there is no problem in supporting a family, just like office workers.

However, the problem is-

Their jobs are stable, and each cooperation negotiation is relatively easy. In addition, they have no other matters that require agents to handle on their behalf, so Edgar's income is not high, and he must take care of his original assistant work.

At William Morris, to be precise, this is true for all traditional agencies except for innovative artists. Unless the agent has actors who can play important supporting roles or multiple actors who can maintain a stable income, junior agents still need to Do concurrent work as an assistant, handling trivial matters for senior brokers and partners.

Of course, they are also very happy. These trivial tasks can not only earn assistant income, but also enable them to contact producers, directors, and superstars. They are also well-informed with inside information, and opportunities are often hidden here.

Thus, there is Edgar's current situation. Although he has been promoted to a junior agent, he does not have his own office. Not only does he sit with his assistants, but he also needs to be responsible for secretarial work for some high-level meetings.

Such as partner meetings.

At the beginning, Edgar stood outside the siege. He was also full of expectations and eager to try. Like other assistants, he was eager to enter those high-level partner meetings. Maybe there were opportunities hidden in them, maybe those partners appreciated him, etc.

But after actually entering the meeting, he realized that he was just a tool playing the role of a recorder. No one would even look at him. He bet that more than the average attendee in the meeting didn't know his name.

Outside the boardroom, he was a junior agent, starting his own business, working for himself, and building a bright future for himself.

But inside the conference room, he was still an insignificant speck of dust.

I would like to ask, who is willing to give up his career and become a typist?

and!

At present, Edgar has his own work that needs to be handled well. Who knows, maybe that opportunity can become a turning point in Edgar's career; but now he needs to temporarily put down his work and play the role of secretary.

Ha ha.

but……

What else can be done? This is the way to go.

Edgar is eager to have his own exclusive artist, and he is a potential new star who can open up the situation. It only takes one person to completely subvert his situation, and that desire is burning in his chest.

call.

Exhaling, whether he wanted to or not, Edgar pushed the door and entered the partner conference room, silently entering the innermost part of the conference room, preparing to record the meeting.

one. two. three...

In a blink of an eye, the conference room was almost full. Edgar was a little surprised. This situation was rare. It could be seen that the weight of today's meeting might be different, but he didn't know what the topic was.

What rumors have been going on within the company recently? Or what important project or large-scale project can actually mobilize everyone?

Edgar's brain was running at high speed, but he had no answer for the moment.

And...if it was really a big project, it wouldn't be his turn to intervene. He was just a bystander anyway, and the excitement didn't belong to him.

Yea.

The glass door of the conference room opened, and a man wearing a dark blue suit appeared. His not strong body looked well-proportioned and strong, fully supporting the lines of the suit. His short, capable hair was mixed with a lot of white hair, but he did not look old. Instead, he has an elegant and sophisticated temperament.

As soon as he entered the door, he went straight to the point without pausing. He held up a photo and displayed it in front of everyone.

"Whose client is this?"

cough.

Edgar almost choked on his own saliva.
