America: Child stars start with The Shining

Charles followed Ovitz into the CK building without looking back.

Although Sean had shown enough sincerity, Ciel would never accept those conditions.

As soon as he entered, Ovitz immediately asked him:

"What did they say to you?"

"They wanted me to sign so they could get John out of trouble, and they even threatened me, but I refused in the end."

Charles recounted the events that had just transpired, including the conditions proposed by Ovitz.

Ovitz couldn't help but curse:

"Fuck, this is fucking insane!"

"However, Charles, you did nothing wrong. If you really agree to their conditions, they will have a tight grip on your every move in Hollywood. At that time, they can freeze your career with just a word."

"Although the situation is not yet clear, at least you still have room to fight back."

The jackal standing to the side coldly stared at the van, then suddenly spoke:

"Do you need me to go...?"

"No, no, no, Jackal, things haven't come to that yet."

Charles was so startled that he immediately interrupted the other person.

He always felt that if the jackals were to handle the matter, it would most likely develop in a direction that he could never have predicted.

He sighed, then turned and instructed Ovitz to keep an eye on the movements of Sinclair Oil Company and report back to him immediately if anything unusual happened.

there is always a solution to a problem.

He couldn't yet guess what the other party would do.

"Let's go take some pictures of GG first, otherwise CK will be getting impatient."

The elevator doors slowly opened, and Charles stepped inside. Just as he was about to press the floor button, a commotion suddenly broke out outside.

"Wait! Wait! Hold the elevator for us!"

A young man who looked like an assistant rushed over hurriedly carrying a large stack of clothes, followed by several staff members.

Further back, a beautiful girl walked in, surrounded by a crowd.

She wore a simple shirt and jeans, her long hair was slightly curled, but her eyes and brows exuded a charm that was beyond her years.

Brooke Shields.

This setup is far more extravagant than Charles's. He only brought two people with him, while the other side was accompanied by an entire work team.

It's safe to say that he truly deserves to be Hollywood's most sought-after top child star right now.

Compared to her, Charles is still far from being good enough.

Of course, after "E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial" is released, he might have the opportunity to rise to that level of stardom...

Surrounded by staff, Brooke Shields stepped into the elevator.

As expected, Charles was squeezed into a corner.

Just then, Brooke Shields suddenly noticed him, took off her sunglasses, smiled at him, and asked:

"You must be Ciel, right? Your name has been making headlines in all the major Hollywood newspapers lately."

Charles looked up and glanced at her.

Upon closer inspection, Brooke Shields' face is even more striking than it appears on magazine covers.

Her features weren't the delicate, refined kind; instead, they possessed a striking, almost flamboyant beauty. But it was precisely because of this that her striking face was so memorable.

Charles shrugged and replied casually:

"Those media outlets love digging up gossip about us child stars. I bet you've encountered even more than I have, right?"

Brooke Shields covered her mouth and laughed, saying:

"Yeah, it seems you don't care much about these things, unlike me, who has a headache every day just dealing with the media's relentless attacks."

"Those unscrupulous media outlets always like to pry into our private lives. After all, they always think that what is shown on screen is the truth."

The elevator quickly arrived at the corresponding floor. The two chatted briefly before walking out one after the other.

The staff outside were already waiting at the door, and as soon as Brooke Shields came out, they immediately came to greet her.

"Ms. Brooke, this way please. The styling team is ready."

Ciel was taken to another dressing room and separated from the other person.

......

When Ciel came out of the dressing room again, he looked completely different.

He wore a light blue denim shirt, with the top two buttons of the collar casually undone and the sleeves rolled up to his elbows, giving him a perfectly relaxed look.

She wore dark denim jeans on her lower body, with the creases falling close to her thighs, giving her a very slim fit.

The makeup artist, standing nearby, couldn't help but glance at it a couple more times and softly whistled:

"OMG, you look absolutely stunning in this outfit!"

Charles smiled, clearly used to such praise.

He walked alone in the corridor toward the photography studio. The facilities inside the CK building were extremely complete, befitting a major fashion brand, and very stylish.

As he walked, he suddenly saw that the door to a dressing room was half open.

Charles glanced around casually. Brooke Shields had probably just put on her makeup in this spot, but now it was completely empty.

Just then, he suddenly noticed that there was an extremely tiny thing emitting light on the dressing table.

【Name: Glamorous Child Star's Earrings (Rare)】

[Original owner: Brooke Shields]

[Source: Youth Coral Island]

[Attributes: Expressiveness +30%, Temperament +15%, Charm +15%]

[Entry: Camera Sensibility (Passive)]

[Effect Description: When equipped, in situations such as shooting, you can instinctively capture the camera position and light focus, and spontaneously adjust your gaze, angle, posture, and expression to make the image more attractive and memorable.]

Charles raised an eyebrow, glanced around instinctively, and then went inside.

He reached out and touched the earring, then immediately pretended nothing had happened and walked out.

He didn't want to be mistaken for a thief...

[Equipped: Glamorous Child Star's Earrings (Rare)]

[Entry: Camera Sensitivity (Passive) has been activated]

These earrings are most likely sponsored by a certain brand, which is why Brooke took them off before the shoot and casually placed them here.

Otherwise, wearing these earrings during the photoshoot could easily cause misunderstandings. After all, CK certainly doesn't want its GG earrings to end up promoting another brand.

Immediately afterward, as Charles entered the studio, a beam of light fell from the side and above, hitting his shoulder.

Suddenly, his clothes shimmered with a cool sheen, making him appear even more refreshed and sharp.

The photographer was adjusting the camera position when he caught a glimpse of Charles out of the corner of his eye and couldn't help but pause in surprise.

The next second, almost instinctively, he raised his camera and pressed the shutter.

Click!

In the viewfinder, the boy slightly turned his face, his gaze falling on the edge of the lens, his expression carrying a hint of aloofness, but which in turn created a unique attraction.

The photographer glanced down at the image on the camera and murmured:

"Damn it... I feel like this one is enough?"
