Half an hour later, Lynn came and brought the news that Ebert had been hired by the "Pirates of the Caribbean" crew.The moment he arrived, Ebert was about to go downstairs to throw out the garbage. As soon as he opened the door, he saw the broker, who was over 40 years old, climbing the stairs, sweating profusely. The first time he saw Ebert Eyes just gasped for breath, unable to say a word.

"What's wrong?" Ebert turned sideways to make way for Lynn.Lin En waved his hand, signaling him to go to work first, and he stepped into the room, and there was no one in the blink of an eye.

Ebert shook his head and smiled. Seeing Mr. Manager in such a mess, Ebert also considered buying a car instead. Lynn had to squeeze the bus every time. no more.

When Ebert returned after throwing out the garbage, Lynn was already sitting at the dining table, squinting his eyes and tasting the barbecue pie. The pie was baked deliciously and crisply, and the oil was shining brightly. Mark poured him an extra glass of fruit with ice Lin En hurriedly took the tea, and stuffed the barbecue pie into his mouth with the other hand.

Although Ebert had already eaten a piece of barbecue pie, he couldn't help swallowing his saliva at this time. While Mark and Lynn were talking, he silently calculated the steps, and stretched out his hand as quickly as lightning——

Ebert thought he was quick, but someone was faster than him. He firmly grabbed his arm before his fingers were about to touch the barbecue pie. Seeing that the barbecue pie was hopeless, Ebert quickly put on an innocent face Kong, the watery blue eyes seemed to be filled with tears, and his mouth was also flattened: "Mark, dear Mark, there is only one piece!"

Lynn took a big sip of the fruit tea, feeling refreshed all over his body. At this time, he also stretched out a greasy finger and shook it in front of Ebert: "Not even a piece, dear Ebert, don't think I didn't know that you secretly weighed yourself, and you gained 2 catties this month compared to last month."

"To be precise, it's 1 catties, Lynn, think about those terrible plane meals, think about the movie I'm going to make next, the place I'm going to is a deserted Caribbean island, I will definitely be hungry and skinny. "

"If you're not my entertainer, I promise I'll hit you!" Lynn rolled his eyes, "First of all, you need to be in shape before filming, I don't want to see a scary picture on a boxy screen Fat face, and then, the tourism industry in the Caribbean islands has been booming very early, you will never starve to death, Disney's investment of more than 1 million US dollars will not let our poor male number two starve, finally, starve It doesn't matter if you are hungry, you can eat fruit salad and vegetable salad, not necessarily barbecue pie!"

Seeing that the sale was hopeless, Ebert immediately put on a fierce expression: "Mr. Lynn Hawke, if you don't let me try another piece of barbecue pie, I will definitely sue you to the Hollywood Agents Association for treating me Ruthless abuse, and I have to go to the trade union to apply to protect my rights!"

The manager said nonchalantly: "I'd rather be sued than be ridiculed because my artist has a big pie face. It must be my dereliction of duty to let you eat it unscrupulously."

Ebert watched as Lynn hugged a plate of barbecue pies in his arms. After eating a bite of pie and drinking a sip of tea, he wiped it all out in a short time. It seemed that the gas in Mr. Manager's stomach was filled in an instant, and Ebert couldn't help but clenched his nose tightly, motioning Lynn to stay away from him: "You look really disgusting."

"If you don't mind, I can be more disgusting." Lynn stood up and took two steps, then sat opposite Ebert, and discussed with him the results of the "Pirates of the Caribbean" crew audition.

"It is said that Disney and the crew had a lot of disputes between choosing you or Orlando Bloom. Bloom did not perform as well as you in the audition, but his role in "Lord of the Rings" attracted many fans. A lot of people thought Pirates of the Caribbean could build on the momentum of The Lord of the Rings when it was promoted and released."

"But their final choice is me." Ebert raised his eyebrows, "I'm curious about Disney's process of selecting actors."

"Everyone has their own ideas. Jerry Bruckheimer suggested using a secret ballot method, which was unanimously approved by everyone. A bunch of people gathered around a table and wrote down the names of their favorite actors. You are better than Bruce." Tom got more votes, so the role ended up going to you."

A faint smile curled up on the corner of Ebert's lips: "This sounds more formal than the presidential election."

"It's really thrilling. You may miss a suitable role by a few votes. Your acting skills are a plus. At the beginning, Disney only wanted to choose a vase with a good appearance to bear the responsibility of attracting young audiences. Orlando Bradley Loom is competent, but then you showed up. Although the people in the film company prefer to make money, you are better than Orlando in every aspect. You have even proved yourself through "White Night" box office appeal."

"Finally, there is nothing to worry about." Lin En clapped his palms, "The next step is to find a way to conquer the fortress of "The Pentium Era". Once the filming starts, it means that you are fully scheduled for the second half of the year, are you ready?"

Ebert held out his palm to him: "Of course."

Ebert joined the team to report in early July. In the contract signed with the "Pirates of the Caribbean" crew, Ebert needs to leave three months of filming time for the film. $3 million was offered — the same amount Tobey Maguire made for Spider-Man.Originally, Disney was only willing to offer Ebert a price of 400 million. The reason was that his salary was only 300 U.S. dollars when he was filming "White Night Chaser". Ebert's current reputation is comparable to that of Hollywood's second-tier male stars, especially in the second half of the year when Giorgio Armani's commercials will be released in major cities across the United States, Ebert's popularity is bound to usher in an explosive surge .

The actor Johnny Depp's salary for this film is 1000 million US dollars, which is not considered the top price among the current Hollywood actors, but considering that Johnny Depp did not make many commercial blockbusters before this For the experience, the price point is very reasonable.

Before entering the filming group, Ebert went to buy the car.Armani’s endorsement fee is still in his pocket, and the World Cup lottery prize money has already been paid out. Ebert always remembers Lynn’s expression when he found out about this matter—the manager’s eyes were wide open, and his expression can be said to be dreamy De: "You went to Milan, not only got a reward of more than 100 million, but also won a few million prizes?"

As a result, Mr. Broker generously took out a card from his pocket, withdrew $5000 from the cash machine and handed it to Ebert. He repeatedly emphasized that Ebert would personally help him buy the lottery ticket. Half and half are fine.

Of course, in the end, the $5000 was wiped out, and Ebert didn't win a penny.

With millions of dollars in his hands, and millions of dollars will come in a few days later, Ebert naturally doesn't have to consider the price when buying a car.In fact, he didn't even have a driver's license at all, and the car he bought was mainly for Lynn to drive, so he mainly had to refer to Lynn's opinion.

In the end, Lynn chose a Cadillac for him.

"Cadillac is the standard in Hollywood, and it's a good choice."

As a representative of American luxury cars, the 100-year-old Cadillac has had an indissoluble bond with Hollywood since its inception. So far, it has appeared in more than 100 Hollywood movies, which is regarded as the standard configuration of Hollywood movies. It appeared in "The Godfather", "Drive Miss Daisy", "Fast and Furious" and other movies, especially when German and British luxury cars have not taken advantage of the Hollywood platform to occupy the American market, Hollywood movies The world belongs to Cadillac.

"It's cool, and it's easy to get started." On the way home, Lynn shook his head and commented, "Excellent value for money."

"You also have to learn to get your driver's license. It will be easier to go wherever you want in the future, especially if you fall in love in the future, it will be more face-saving to go out..."

Lynn suddenly fell silent.He thought of the conversation he had with Ebert in Milan some time ago... It seemed that it ended peacefully, but that was only because both sides chose to remain silent tacitly.Ebert couldn't change his sexuality, it was in his nature, and Lynn couldn't give him much advice on the matter.

The small car suddenly fell silent.

Just when Ebert organized his speech and was about to speak, a group of journalists with long guns and short guns suddenly appeared on the side of the road. Lynn, who was about to turn a corner, was startled, and uttered two American curses from his mouth.Ebert's body also swayed and received a lot of shock.He couldn't help looking out through the car window. During the time when the car slowed down suddenly to drive smoothly, Ebert finally saw clearly that the group of reporters seemed to be chasing someone. When he saw the figure in front of him, he was a little stunned.

Leonardo DiCaprio, how could he be so embarrassed?

"Slow down the car and put that person up."

Ebert decisively spoke to Lynn.Lynn slowed down the car, and Ebert immediately opened the door, stretched out his hand and pulled Leonardo up.

"Dude, you look like a mess!"

Leonardo DiCaprio pulled his hat: "I just had a cup of coffee in the cafe, and they all chased after me. I was still curious when the car stopped. Fortunately, I saw you. I jumped up and was almost caught by those bastards, which is really thrilling!"

Some time ago, Leonardo made headlines several times because of the rumors of breaking up with Gisele Bündchen. Now he has just appeared and was chased by the media frantically. He ran for two streets without evading them The reporter carrying the camera—the media all over Hollywood are complaining about Leonardo's increasing weight. He didn't care about it at first, but considering the tragic reality of being chased by reporters for two streets today, he also felt that it was time Put weight loss on the agenda.

"Fortunately, you are here, Ebert, is this your new car? Cadillac has just launched a new model, I saw it in a car magazine." Leonardo's breathing was a little heavy, and Lynn handed him the car from the front. Bottle of water.

"Thank you."

"This is my agent, Lynn Hawke. Lynn, this is Leonardo DiCaprio. I don't think there's anyone in Hollywood who doesn't know him."

"of course."

It was inconvenient for Lynn to talk while driving, so Ebert took over the task of talking: "Yes, it's really inconvenient without a car. It's almost noon, where are you going? We can send you there first, or you and us Have a lunch together?"

Leonardo decided to join Ebert and Lynn's lunch lineup.

Although Lynn knew that Ebert and Leonardo knew each other before, he never thought that he and Leonardo knew each other well enough to have lunch together. To be honest, he just saw the most famous man in Hollywood popping out from the back seat. He was indeed taken aback. Although he restrained his desire and didn't ask more questions, on the way to the restaurant, the agent couldn't help but whispered in Ebert's ear.
