[US Entertainment] Actor

The reason why Leonardo broke up with him is naturally because the agent tried to interfere with any of his decisions-the route he chose for the star was sometimes too extreme, which is too much for a rising star. Exposure and gossip hype may be what they need, and there is nothing wrong with the agent's operation in this way.But once they step into the second-tier or first-tier threshold, malicious hype will damage the image of stars. At this time, they need excellent scripts, fashion and resources in the field of public welfare to strengthen their positions, and those clumsy tricks are meaningless. up.

The agent named Matthew Horns was eyeing Ebert this time.He didn't know where he found out about the relationship between Leonardo and Ebert, and kept inviting Leonardo to contact Ebert for him.In view of the fact that Matthew Horns had mastered some of Leonardo's privacy during their previous cooperation, Leonardo agreed perfunctorily.

Leonardo silently twirled the transparent red wine glass in his hand, and occasionally glanced at the obviously irritable agent on the opposite side. Their cooperation has been several years ago. He thought that this agent had gone through several years. His personality can change after this lesson, but obviously, he overestimated him a bit.

It's been a long time, and Matthew Horns seems to be less and less able to hide his emotions.

There was a hint of sarcasm in the corner of the mouth of this first-line Hollywood actor.Ebert's direct rejection was far beyond Leonardo DiCaprio's expectations. Although it coincided with Leonardo's own thoughts, Ebert was considered a young actor he was more optimistic about. He didn't want him to be ruined by Matthew Horns.

Leonardo DiCaprio even secretly wondered whether the so-called "lucky Ebert" in the media is true. Ebert really has the magical power of predicting danger and bringing good luck to people ?

If that's the case, he should show him the pile of scripts in his hand, maybe his good luck can really help him win an Oscar!

"Leo, this time is really unfortunate. Do you have any other time this month that you can ask Albert Dawson out? I am very optimistic about his potential. His current agent Lynn Hawke is short-sighted and incompetent. He will only let down Ebert's talent. If Ebert can sign with me, it must be a win-win thing. I have rich film resources, and Ebert has very good conditions and talents... "

Matthew Horns spouts his own merits, while also not forgetting to criticize Lynn for being useless.Leonardo DiCaprio listened to him perfunctorily, but the scene when Ebert and Lynn got along unconsciously appeared in his mind. If Lynn was replaced by the brazen guy in front of him, I am afraid that Ebert Burt will also fall into the pain he once had.

Constantly denying himself, the mailbox will always be filled with so-called commercial films and big productions, and if he really chooses those films, he will not get any real benefits other than satisfying the interests of his agent.

Before the wine was finished, Leonardo excused himself to leave earlier.On the way back, he couldn't help calling Ebert and explaining what happened to Ebert.

"It seems that it was a good thing that I didn't accept your invitation." Ebert's mood was not affected by this incident, "Anyway, at least thank you for letting me know that I was selected by the crew of "The Pentium Era" , my agent has called me just now. As for the Mr. Matthew Horns you mentioned, I have relayed his thoughts to my agent, and I believe Lynn will handle this matter thing."

"I just took advantage of a time gap. I believe that in the near future all Hollywood will know that you have received a leading role. Matthew Horns is also a well-informed guy. If you have not received "Pentium" this time I'm afraid he won't find you either."

"It's like a dog smells meat and bones."

"Oh, Ebert, how can you say that about yourself? But it is true. On the day I was nominated for an Oscar for "A Different Sky" 7 or 8 years ago, I received dozens of inquiries from agents. The phone number, I was just one of the many young people working hard in Hollywood, even if I try my best to recommend myself and hope that they can recruit me, no one will pay attention to me, but once they discover my potential—”

"It's like bees smelling honey."

"I'm really relieved you didn't change the subject to a fly. But that's the way Hollywood is. Let me warn you that Matthew Horns is an unscrupulous guy, and if he doesn't get you, he'll probably sign The next young man with good conditions will come to fight with you, and he has really done this."

"Thank you, Leo. It sounds like he's really narrow-minded. I still prefer a manager who is bright and generous."

Leonardo smiled: "Everyone likes to get along with generous people, but life cannot always be smooth, and occasionally there will be rough waves. I am very sorry for the deception I caused to you because of Matthew Horns, Seriously, I have a party some time ago in New York, are you interested in attending? There are no outsiders, only some friends in the circle."

"If I had time, I would definitely go."

When Ebert relayed Leonardo's words to Lynn, the agent immediately flew into a rage as he expected: "These guys who think they are experienced are arrogant and ruthless. They think they have mastered the circle because they have the advantage of time." Let’s wait until they train a young man from obscurity to the front line with their own hands!”

Ebert, who was also shot while lying down, said helplessly: "Dear Lynn, I was not unknown when you signed me, right?"

The manager's face flushed red: "No matter what, they don't want to poach you from me."

"I also have no plans to leave you for the time being. Didn't we promise to become the greatest agent and actor in Hollywood?"

"Of course, this damn bastard, I must show him some color."

Lynn's current glory in the agent circle all comes from Ebert, and anyone who tries to poach Ebert away is his life and death enemy.Even the joy of receiving the notification from the crew of "The Pentium Era" couldn't save Lynn from his anger. The manager roared like a wild beast.

Soon, he regained his composure.

Of course, the so-called calmness is only relative. The manager just took out his mobile phone and dialed one call after another.His diction changes with the identity of the person on the other end of the phone, from calm and rational to manic and angry, which makes him look like a schizophrenic.

Albert couldn't help laughing.

His lack of cooperation drew Lynn's furious glaring. After making the last phone call, Lynn simply squeezed his ass to Ebert's seat: "Is this funny? You don't really intend to follow that nasty guy He’s a jerk? I’ve learned all about his past. He’s a complete jerk. He takes pleasure in exploiting his stars and puts newcomers in commercial blockbusters. He doesn’t show mercy to big stars. His only The purpose is to make more money. And his only specialty is concocting all kinds of bad scandals with bad influence. The stains he creates take a long time to clean up the stars, which is very important for their future careers. bad influence."

Ebert nodded: "I never considered working with Matthew Horns, I just think your ability to switch emotions freely is too strong, Lynn old man, if you were born in the last century, you must be Greatest comedian of the 100 years. So, what did you get out of those calls?"

"I just told the top brass at Endeavor that there was a guy from WME who had an idea for a rookie they were promoting. Also, I got this guy's dirty stuff from somewhere else, and guess what this guy did?"

Lin En showed a look of anger and laughter, he rubbed his fingers lightly, and took a deep breath: "He uses this kind of thing to control the newcomers under him, forcing them to take pictures of those they don't want to take pictures of." movies, he even sent young girls and boys to the beds of studio executives."

"In the eyes of the so-called power holders, this is just an ordinary exchange of resources, which is nothing."

Lynn looked at Ebert: "But since he put his mind on you, as your agent, I will never allow you to suffer all that, so I had to find a way to kick this scum out of Hollywood. "

Ebert trusted Lynn to walk the talk.If everything Lynn said is true, the behavior of Matthew Horns has exceeded the bottom line that Ebert can accept, plus Leonardo mentioned that Matthew is a very vindictive guy , he absolutely agrees with Lynn's decision.

Calm down, Ebert can't help but think, Leonardo has also worked with Matthew Horns for a while, has he been hurt by Matthew Horns?

When he informed Lynn of his thoughts, the manager just shook his head: "Leonardo belonged to the actors he signed in the early days. At that time, Matthew Hornes still had a bottom line. He just had better means. , is more capable of robbing resources. But after those first-line stars who were promoted by him broke their contracts with him one after another, he gradually lost his bottom line, and people will always do things that they can't expect when they are crazy."

"I will take care of Matthew Horns. The next thing you have to do is to prepare for the filming of "The Pentium Age". If the response of this movie is good enough, you don't need to work as hard as you are now. "

At the beginning of November, Ebert signed a four-month contract with the crew of "The Pentium Age", for which the crew is willing to pay him $11 million in remuneration. "The Pentium Era" is a movie related to horses. Before officially entering the filming group, Ebert needs professional equestrian training and boxing training. At the same time, he also needs the assistance of a professional fitness trainer to control his weight. and build muscle.
