When a person achieves the Tao, a chicken or a dog ascends to heaven. This sentence is a little inappropriate here, because Roy and Andy are not "chickens and dogs"; but this is generally the reality..

Roy had just sat down in front of Andy when their cell phones rang at the same time. They both exchanged glances with a hint of understanding in their eyes. Then they checked their cell phones at the same time. Roy cut off the call directly. Andy picked up the phone and after a few brief words, he hung up the phone and explained to Roy, "Notice of the company's afternoon meeting..”

Roy nodded slightly to show his understanding, then gestured to his mobile phone, frowning and complaining, "Party invitation. God, don't they know that I don't like parties the most?"？”

Ever since he was a public agent in the Screen Actors Guild, Roy didn't like parties. He was a pure homebody who liked to tinker with things like carpentry at home. Renly placed a row of roses in his home in New York. Bedside table made by Yi. For him, work is already very tiring and he needs some quiet time of his own..

“This shows that their investigation work is still not in place." Andy still has the heart to joke, but for him, he is very comfortable in social situations in the industry..

But for Roy, he feels a bit like the emperor's jester..

He knows that he is at best a pedal, a stepping stone to Renly; he will not enjoy it, but will check it seriously. In the final analysis, it is Renly who ultimately needs to make the final decision and have the power of life and death. That person is not him.

While he was talking, Roy's cell phone rang again. This time it was a text message. He just glanced at it and ignored it. Then he sighed again and shook his head helplessly, "You know? There are still women now." I took the initiative to come to the door. God, what are they thinking? I'm not Renly, can't they see it?？”

Andy was not surprised and said with a smile, "This is Hollywood." After a moment of pause, Andy showed a clear expression and said meaningfully, "Actually, I have always been curious, why? Renly is willing to choose you as his manager. After all, this is a position that requires trust. Now I finally know..”

Hollywood is a dazzling vanity fair. The glitz and prosperity makes people unable to extricate themselves. Unknowingly, they gradually lose themselves. In fact, this is not a shameful thing, because even a saint cannot escape the temptation of his own desires. Clamp, this is true in any era and any region, those colorful colors are so irresistible.

Not to mention actors, directors or producers who are at the top of the pyramid, even managers, assistants, camera assistants, scriptwriters, drama teams, etc. who play small roles can always become the objects of pursuit and flattery. ——Not only because the imps are difficult to deal with, but also because they are like small screws. As long as they can find the right position, they can also play a huge role..

In the past, when Roy was a public agent, he would occasionally meet young actors who approached him, maybe just for the opportunity to audition for a movie; but Roy never liked it..

Roy knows that these are industry rules, social rules, and natural rules. He has no intention to criticize or change, and it is impossible for him to do anything with his own strength. However, he also firmly believes that success, fame, and glamor are the key to success. There are countless possibilities for life outside——

When he chooses to give up some persistence, even if he can get the desired result, things will never be the same again. Either he chooses to persist and enjoy life; or he chooses to give up and go on without hesitation. He After struggling and hesitating over and over again, I finally chose to persevere..

So he resigned, unsure of his future.

Meeting Renly was an accident, but it was also luck..

Now, as Renly's agent, Roy once again stands in the whirlpool of Hollywood's Vanity Fair, bathed in the focus of countless pursuits and hot discussions, going in circles, not only not leaving, but also getting closer to the center. The only difference is that he can still insist on being himself.

Faced with Andy's teasing, Roy curled his lips and said, "If you are waiting for me to praise you now, then you are destined to be disappointed..”

Andy tapped his fingers nonchalantly, "I just said it casually, you don't need to take it to heart." He complained without mercy, and then said enthusiastically, "Have you heard? There are rumors in the industry now. , the two of us are the most difficult people to deal with. If we can talk to Renly directly, then things will be much simpler..”

“……”Roy showed a look of astonishment, as if he had just seen an idiot..

This instantly aroused Andy's sympathy, and he nodded repeatedly with a smile on his face, "Really? These guys are really stupid. They didn't even inquire about the matter clearly, and they just talked nonsense. If they deal with Renly face to face in person, , then I really can’t even cry even if I want to..”

Roy rolled his eyes, "It's just because they are facing us now, so there is still room for maneuver. Even if they complain, they can complain in private; if it was Renly, they wouldn't need three rounds to defeat them all. At the end of the battle, they may not even know what happened..”

“Three rounds? No, I think one round is enough." Andy changed his words..

Roy shrugged and complained further, "If you really care, they have already been defeated before the duel even started. It's like right now, aren't they entangled with us?？”

In recent times, Roy and Andy have become the most popular beings in the industry, powerful upstarts, and their pickiness and troubles have also attracted countless criticisms. As the saying goes, there are many celebrities and wrongdoers, but what Andy just said is just an iceberg. It’s just a corner, and the voices that complain about the two people “using chicken feathers as arrows” are endless..

But Roy and Andy also have troubles that they can't tell: everyone thinks Renly is an angel, but only those who really know Renly know that things are far from that simple..
