America: Child stars start with The Shining

Upon hearing the staff's call, Leonardo DiCaprio immediately ran over.

He thought it was someone from the Peter Pan crew calling him over, but when he found out that the person was a complete stranger, he was quite surprised.

What's going on?

He approached the staff member, who immediately got straight to the point:

"Leonardo, do you have time now? The director of Oliver Twist wants to meet with you."

Leonardo DiCaprio was taken aback for a moment.

The next second, he suddenly became excited, and his heartbeat quickened uncontrollably.

He finally understood what Charles meant by "see you later".

It turns out that what the other party meant was to give him a rare opportunity!

A chance to skip the queue and audition for "Oliver Twist"!

For Leonardo DiCaprio, this was something he never even dared to dream of, since before he hadn't even had the courage to sign up.

Since starring in "Peter Pan," Leonardo DiCaprio has become acutely aware of the gap between his acting abilities and those of his peers.

For this reason, he devoted almost all his energy to stage plays during this period.

He practiced his lines repeatedly, observed other people's performances, and would even stay alone in the empty theater after rehearsals to practice more.

All this was to seize the time to improve myself and catch up with the others in the crew.

But Leonardo DiCaprio never expected that after Charles left, he would go to the director of "Oliver Twist" to secure an audition spot for him.

For a moment, an indescribable emotion welled up in his heart.

There were surprises, nervousness, and a touch of overwhelming emotion.

"I...I have time now."

Little Li nodded hurriedly, his voice even trembling slightly.

The staff member glanced at him, seemingly understanding the boy's feelings at that moment, and didn't say anything more, just smiled.

"Then come with me."

Leonardo DiCaprio instinctively glanced back.

The young actors who knew him had obviously overheard his conversation with the staff, and they all looked on with envy.

Leonardo DiCaprio took a deep breath and followed the staff deeper into the corridor.

This time, he couldn't let Charles down.

......

Leonardo DiCaprio's audition result was, of course, a foregone conclusion.

He has been improving almost every day during this period, and given that he is an extremely talented actor, handling such an audition is naturally not a problem.

Therefore, Leonardo DiCaprio landed a supporting role in "Oliver Twist" without much difficulty, finally getting the chance to act alongside Charles.

This can be considered as not disappointing Ciel's expectations of him.

For the next two weeks, Charles was rehearsing "Oliver Twist" on Broadway while also worrying about things at Wah Mei Records.

The entire AC/DC band has arrived in Los Angeles, and each member has signed an album contract and a management contract with Huamei Records.

Incidentally, although the agent contract was provided by Ovitz, it was actually registered under Huamei Records and was not directly tied to CAA.

This was something Charles did intentionally.

He didn't want Huamei Records and CAA to get too involved, lest any problems arise in the future and cause unnecessary business disputes.

Of course, Ovitz didn't seem to care about this.

After all, Shire is now one of CAA's shareholders, and to some extent, the two are already in a relationship where they share both prosperity and adversity.

He was actually very happy to see Charles signing new clients for him, as these were all hard-won deals!

This made Ovitz a little embarrassed, and he wondered if he should issue Charles an agent's contract.

After resolving these contractual issues, the most important thing next is to polish AC/DC's first album as soon as possible.

Now, Shire is sitting in a chair in the Westlake recording studio, his eyes scanning the equipment around him.

The last time I came here was to record the promotional single for "E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial" with MJ.

But now, when he steps into this recording studio again, his purpose is completely different.

Coincidentally.

He was able to rent the recording studio at a fairly affordable price thanks to Quincy Jones.

After the last recording ended, the other party seemed to appreciate him quite a bit and was also interested in getting to know him.

So Ciel took the opportunity to contact the other party and asked him many questions about the operation of a record company.

Over time, the two became acquainted.

With this relationship established, Quincy Jones readily agreed to Quincy Jones' request to rent the recording studio.

Otherwise, the sheer cost of renting the recording studio would be enough to give Charles a headache.

At this moment, the members of the AC/DC band were scattered around the recording studio, each of them looking around with envy.

This was the first time they had ever seen such a high-class recording studio.

Not only is the equipment here complete, but the spatial layout and the specifications of various equipment are also clearly incomparable to ordinary recording studios.

Angus Young stood in front of a piece of equipment and couldn't resist reaching out to touch it, his movements very careful.

When he last walked into Huamei Records, he thought it was just a small record company.

Perhaps it is precisely because they lack funds and resources that they took a liking to this relatively unknown band.

But now it seems that things are not like that at all.

This Huamei Records is clearly a hidden gem!

This recording studio alone is a privilege that many top singers can only enjoy.

In the past, Angus Young would never have even dared to dream of such a thing.

Recording their first album in such a luxurious place?

What a joke! That's practically daydreaming.

And now, the dream has actually come true.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel excited and looked at Charles sitting not far away.

Charles smiled, seemingly sensing their excited yet reserved feelings, and then spoke:

"These past few days, I've listened to your album demo again and found quite a few issues."

As he spoke, he casually picked up the cassette tape from the table and tapped the casing lightly with his fingertips.

Angus Young was taken aback when he heard this.

The band members exchanged glances, their expressions showing a mixture of surprise.

What's going on? Is it true or false?

Did they hear me right?

What Charles meant was that he, a child, was able to hear the problems in their album?

It's not that they look down on Charles, but rather that this incident, happening to a child who is quite a bit younger than them, seems rather unbelievable.

Charles noticed their expressions but didn't seem to care.

He simply brought over a tape recorder.
