[US Entertainment] 1994
Chapter 123 Reception
"Wow, the angle is perfect! Josh, raise your left arm a bit higher, and open the corner of your mouth wider." Josh opened his mouth stiffly, revealing a mouthful of white teeth.
"Next one, Lucy, that black jacket." Outside the shooting room, a young voice responded in a high voice, and soon, a black jacket was handed to Josh. The stylist put wax on Josh's hair, "it looks more punk and lively."
"Actually, I like the style of your ripped pants more." The stylist blinked, "This one is also good, very handsome."
After spending a whole day of private time with Carlos upside down day and night, Josh was called by his manager to shoot a magazine cover. It will be released in October, which coincides with the release date of "Schindler's List", so it can more or less take on some publicity.
It took more than 4 hours for the magazine to shoot. After leaving the magazine, Josh quickly got into the car and rushed to Michael Ovitz's reception.
Michael Ovitz is the head of CAA, a powerful Hollywood tycoon. Josh's current brokerage contract is not with CAA, and he has no intention of joining CAA. Although this brokerage company has offered him an olive branch for more than a month, Especially after the success of "Scent of a Woman", CAA even wanted to persuade Arnold to run Josh to join.
Of course, the ending was unsuccessful, and CAA seemed to understand Josh's thoughts, and quit the chase soon after.
The signing of Tom Cruise by CAA is doomed to make it difficult for Josh to interact with this agency, not to mention that this agency adopts a system where multiple agents are in charge of a superstar. Separated, what will happen next, you can guess with your toes.
Although you can't join CAA, you can't miss Michael Ovitz's reception. At this reception, Hollywood's top-notch big names, investors, stars, producers, agents, film critics... and the rights in the award season Amazing academy judges.
After Michael Ovitz's invitation was sent, Josh took it without hesitation.
"I'm not interested in the so-called drinking party at all. My drinking capacity is not as good as that of a girl..."
"Don't worry, I'll go too." Carlos whispered in his ear, holding Josh's shoulder.
"You also received the invitation letter?" Josh opened his eyes wide. "If something embarrassing happens to me after I get drunk, please help me."
Carlos shook his head: "Don't worry, you are not the focus of the reception."
The reception that gathered more than half of the Hollywood elite is definitely not just for the one-year awards season. After all, for real superstars, the awards season is just a gift for children, and their status will not change because of a certain award. Investors They care more about who can make money for them. Stars and producers are just tools in their hands. If their interests are damaged, they will choose another cash cow...
Michael Ovitz is most praised for his genius communication skills. He can gather people from all walks of life in Hollywood and become his allies. It is conceivable that this must be a reception that will affect the future of Hollywood. Will reshuffle.
Wearing a dark gray striped suit, the leather shoes were so shiny that they could reflect people's reflections, and the broken hair on his forehead was all turned up to reveal a capable face. Josh handed the invitation letter to the waiter and got out of the car with Carlos.
The style of Carlos' suit was no different from Josh's. They were all gray with light white stripes. As usual, he wore glasses with silver frames, and he looked shrewd and capable.
Josh leaned into his ear and said, "Did you do it on purpose?"
Carlos replied slowly: "Couple outfit, isn't it good?"
"It's not bad." Josh sighed, "I just think you look much more handsome in this outfit than me."
Carlos's appearance is already outstanding, with broad shoulders and long legs. The suit and glasses are like weapons, which make him full of abstinence.When he spoke, the tails of his eyes were slightly raised, and the blue eyes seemed to be rippling with water, which could absorb all the spirit of a person at once.
When the two walk together, anyone can tell that Carlos is the real business elite.
This is the aura bestowed by the profession.
Of course, Josh can also pretend to be an elite fan. After all, he is a professional actor, and he can play any role, but Josh is an extremely loose guy. Unless it is for performance, he is too lazy to change his identity. !
After two checks, Josh and Carlos arrived inside the villa smoothly. Along the way, security guards turned a certain "guest" out of the villa from time to time. Josh asked in surprise, "Are these paparazzi secretly photographed?"
The waiter who led them explained: "Mr. Walter, Mr. Ovitz is considering the safety of all guests, no matter whether they are paparazzi or other unidentified people. If a dangerous element is mixed in, the safety of the guests will be affected." Threatened, we have an obligation to ask them out."
Josh kept silent, accepting the explanation.
After entering the door, Josh realized that the area of the reception was incredible. He and Carlos came not too early or too late. When they entered, there were already many guests in the venue. The men were all in neat suits, and the women were in neat suits. Little dresses, shuttled through the crowd like flowers and butterflies.
Josh took a rough look, and he only knew a small part of the guests, including Tom Hanks and Harrison Ford who had just met at the premiere a few days ago. Among the more familiar female guests were Julia Roberts, May Lil Streep and others, most of the others are unfamiliar faces, and there is no doubt that those male guests with round bellies and suits that are about to burst are definitely not actors, they must be investors.
"Carlos, you're here too?" Josh followed behind Carlos, and suddenly a person squeezed in front of him, who patted Carlos on the shoulder hard, his eyes full of joy.
"Lincoln, long time no see." Carlos greeted softly, turned his body to one side, turned his gaze to Josh, and signaled him to follow with his eyes.
Based on Josh's understanding of Carlos, this Lincoln should not be someone he admires.
Lincoln frowned: "Your friend?"
Carlos nodded.
After getting an affirmative answer, Lincoln, who hadn't looked at Josh all this time, finally sized him up and frowned deeper: "Are you an actor?"
"Yes, sir."
Lincoln bowed his head as a greeting, and soon left Josh behind him, chatting enthusiastically with Carlos.
Josh, who didn't do anything but somehow felt discriminated against: "..."
Is it strange to have actors present at a drinking party hosted by Hollywood people?
The more Lincoln talked, the more impatient Carlos felt. In the end, he didn't even have the mood to respond. Lincoln could also see that Carlos was in a bad mood, so he forced himself to finish his last sentence and left in despair.
Josh blinked: “He’s so weird.”
Carlos snorted coldly: "He is my college classmate."
Josh showed doubts, and Carlos explained: "He is my college classmate, and he is very good at investing. After graduation, we partnered to start a company. Later, when I joined Warner, he joined together. I thought he would be a A good helper, but after my grandfather died, he became my cousin's helper, helping him snatch Warner's shares."
"But you still made it."
"That's because my grandfather was more partial to me." Carlos said, "After that, Lincoln approached me many times, hoping to continue helping me at Warner, but I rejected them all."
Josh frowned: “He doesn’t seem to like actors?”
"Oh." Carlos smiled lightly, "Can you believe it? Lincoln didn't dislike actors, he was just expressing an attitude. He felt that Carlos Ross had fallen to the point of making friends with a simple-minded actor— —after he left me."
Josh rolled his eyes: “Am I simple-minded?”
Before Carlos answered, a voice rang lazily: "In my opinion, it's not that smart."
Josh looked along the source of the voice, and the next second he exclaimed in surprise: "Al!"
He took a step forward and hugged Al Pacino: "Al, are you here?"
"Can't I come?" Al Pacino glared at Josh, "Be gentle, you're about to crush my bones."
"Who told you to say that I'm not smart as soon as you come here? I'm very smart, okay?" Josh complained, and his movements were still a little lighter.
Al frowned: "If you are smart enough, this guy is here, why can't you see it like a blind man?"
Josh raised his eyes subconsciously, and the person who suddenly appeared made his eyes widen instantly, and his mouth opened: "Colin!"
Colin smiled and hugged his stupid younger brother: "Have you gone out to mine recently? Why are you hacked so much!"
"Why did you come?"
"It seems that you really don't care about your dear brother at all." Colin patted Josh on the shoulder, "After all, you are also my major shareholder."
During this year, Colin started a company with Josh's remuneration and his own investment. With the development of Hollywood, Colin also intends to get involved in entertainment investment, so he naturally got tickets to the reception of Michael Ovitz.
Seeing Colin, Josh's unhappiness disappeared immediately. He didn't even ask how Colin and Al knew each other, but just pulled Colin aside and muttered for a long time.
Carlos touched his nose and watched Josh leave himself and Colin and run away.
But he couldn't stop—
He still has lingering fears about the things that Colin Walter sent him. Most importantly, when he just left, the murderous look in Colin Walter's eyes made Carlos immediately have an ominous premonition.
Of course, the simple Carlos didn't know that Colin only represented the beginning.
He forgot that Josh had a pair of parents, an older brother and a younger sister—he abducted the stupidest and most favored child of Walter's family.
