250 Rookie Assistant
Standing next to the luggage tray in the airport lobby, Renly picked up his luggage and said hello to Felicity, Drake and others, "Then I'll leave first. Tomorrow at eight o'clock in the morning? In the studio？”
Drake nodded in affirmation, then pointed to his throat, as if to say: I still have a lot to say, but I can't. This made Renly laugh, waved to everyone, and then Just turned around and left.
After getting off the plane, Renly saw a text message from Andy, saying that he had sent someone to pick him up at the airport and asked him not to leave the airport with the crew, but to leave alone in a low-key manner and not to deliberately attract other people's attention..
Renly lowered the baseball cap on his head and walked calmly among the crowd, wearing a white T-shirt and dark blue ripped jeans. He wore a pair of black Nike running shoes at his feet and a sky blue denim jacket in his hand. He didn't hide himself deliberately, but he didn't hold his chest high in a high-profile manner, as if he was just an ordinary college student..
In fact, Renly believes that the effects of Toronto and Telluride are still in the process of fermentation, and Los Angeles is the base camp of actors. People are accustomed to actors coming and going. There are not many people who can recognize him now. However, , since Andy explained it, there must be a reason, so Renly simply covered it up..
Renly had limited experience in how to deal with the crowds of enthusiastic movie fans, but he knew that if he wore a hat and sunglasses, or if he covered himself up and dressed up too exaggeratedly, he would easily attract attention. Ordinary However, he has a low-key and normal attitude, and people will not deliberately look away. It is the safest. After all, Da Yin is hidden in the city..
He searched the crowd unhurriedly, looking for his pick-up partner. But surprisingly, he didn't see a sign with his name in the crowd. Instead, he saw many hotels coming to pick him up. There is a group sign, and there are many Asian faces. Could it be that the person who picked you up has not arrived at the airport yet?？
Renly stopped and looked around carefully, and then he saw a familiar figure from the back, a white and plump side face, like a perfectly fermented bun, and a dark blue shirt that was slightly loose and could You can faintly see his slightly chubby figure, and his round eyebrows make him look kind-hearted, but with a hint of bookishness. The image of a nerd who was socially awkward but always smiling in high school naturally appeared in his mind. At this time, he put his hands on Grabbing a sandwich and struggling
He tried to remove the outer packaging of the sandwich, but the paper stuck under the creaking nest kept falling down, and then the mayonnaise sauce inside the sandwich began to slip down again, and accidentally dipped it on his hand, which immediately made him extremely embarrassed. He started to try to pull out the napkin from the outside. As soon as he made a move, the documents under his arm fell apart, which was in danger..
“Excuse me, do you need help? "Renly walked to the side and asked friendly.
“Oh, no, it doesn't matter to me, I'm fine, I mean, thank you for your kindness, I..." He said in a panic, his words were very short, but his words were full of gentle gratitude. He was trying to save everything, As a result... the paper under his arm fell down, and Renly collected the fallen documents into his palm, "Thank you, thank you. God, I am really so clumsy, oh, my God.！”
After all, Mayonnaise failed to resist the call of gravity and fell down. He let out a depressed wailing sound, but quickly regained his attention, "Sorry to trouble you. Just leave these to me, I can handle it." Don't worry, I will wipe this place clean." He raised his head and stretched out his hands to take the documents, but he found that Renly put the documents in front of him, then turned around and took the documents with the words That side is facing him.
“I think the name on this should be me.”
The gentle voice sounded, and Nathan Price's body stiffened for a moment, then he quickly raised his head, and that handsome face came into view, and he let out a depressed growl. It's over now, now Oops, this is messed up, "Mr. Hall, I……”
“If I remember correctly, this should be our second meeting, right? Nathan Press? "Renly smoothly pulled out the napkin from Nathan's hand, then covered the mayonnaise in Nathan's hand, gestured to the paper in his hand, looked around, and found that the passengers around him didn't care about the little accident here at all. , people were still coming and going, “So, you work for Andy Rogers now? I remember you got fired from Fisher last time, didn't you?？”
Nathan, the former assistant of Fisher Morgan and the top agent of William Morris Agency, made a special trip to pick up the plane at Los Angeles International Airport a month and a half ago, and then brought Renly to meet with Fisher. However, Lan Li rejected Fisher, and Fisher also fired Nathan.
I didn’t expect that when we meet again, it’s the airport and we’re picked up..
“Yes, yes." Nathan was speechless with excitement. He and Renly had only met once. Renly not only remembered the circumstances of their meeting, but also remembered his name. For Nathan, It’s incredible! It took Fisher ten days to remember his name..
“I mean, I got a job at Creative Artists Agency and I was assigned to Mister Rogers." Nathan explained in the most succinct terms, "God, work, work, I have a special assignment today. I'm Came here to pick you up at the airport! "Nathan reacted. Before his voice could rise, he lowered it and said in a whisper..
The deliberate gesture seemed a bit weird, which made Renly laugh dumbly. He raised the paper with his name on it, indicating that he already knew it..
Nathan smiled stupidly and paused for about two seconds. "By the way, the car is parked in the parking lot next to it. You can't park here, so we need to walk from here. We'll be there in five minutes." Nathan looked around. Look, he was looking for Renly's luggage, but then he realized that he still had a sandwich in his hand..
Nathan quickly ran to the trash can next to him, threw the sandwich in, wiped his hands with a napkin, ran over again, took the initiative to take Renly's luggage, "This way, please." He walked in front and led the way. His irritable appearance seemed not much different from the first time they met, which really made Renly laugh..
“Sorry for my rudeness just now." Nathan knew that he was really unprofessional just now. Not only did he miss the pick-up time, but he also almost missed the person to pick him up..
In fact, that was his lunch. Since he had not eaten breakfast, he had some hypoglycemia. He just wanted to take a few bites before Renly appeared. Unexpectedly, he was accidentally hit by someone. Although the shoulder was fine, it suddenly became a mess..
However, Nathan did not explain. Fisher had always hated explanations, because any explanation was just an excuse for failure..
“It seems that I interrupted your lunch." Renly did not jump to the conclusion easily. The plane arrived at the airport ten minutes earlier than expected, and his luggage also came out faster than expected. Felicity and De Lake and others are still waiting. Unforeseen circumstances, where is the current destination? If we have time, we can stop by the roadside and order some fries and burgers..”
As a country on wheels, there are drive-in fast food restaurants in every city and highway in the United States. You can drive by directly and complete the entire process of ordering, paying, and picking up food..
Nathan quickly turned his head to look at Renly, and then saw the faint smile on the corner of Renly's mouth, which reminded him of the last time they met. If it weren't for Renly, he might have been left beside the highway. , at a loss.
“West Hollywood." Nathan looked away, came to the parking lot, and found today's car, a black SUV, one of the most common vehicles in Los Angeles. You can feel Andy's caution..
Nathan was a little confused and didn't know what to do first. Renly said with a smile, "You should put the luggage by the rear door, open the passenger door for me first, and then take care of the luggage after I get in the car." question, finally back to the driver's seat. If this was a hotel, the driver had a driver's job, the doorman had a doorman's job, and the rest is your job.”
Renly had seen Philip doing this action countless times since he was a child, so he naturally understood it all too well..
“Oh, oh." Nathan quickly followed the instructions and started getting busy in an orderly manner..
Nathan's movements are cautious and focused. It can be seen that he is indeed inexperienced, and his frizzy movements look like he was just after graduating from college. Although his appearance looks like he is about thirty years old; however, after After the guidance, he adapted quickly.
This is in line with Renly's first impression of Nathan when they first met. Unfortunately, in Hollywood, the competition is too fierce. Top agents like Fisher don't have time to cultivate slowly. Once something goes wrong, he will be immediately punished. will be eliminated.
In Hollywood in the 1970s, the William Morris Agency was the well-deserved leader. They established industry rules. Before anyone officially became an agent, he had to work in the mailroom for three to six months, or even One year, the class system was very strict, which also made the agents and assistants all skilled in the business..
However, it also constrained the development of young people, and the rigidity and contradictions caused by class were inevitable. Five young people left the company because they were dissatisfied with the rigid system of William Morris and joined forces to create their own brokerage company. It was later the Innovative Artist Agency.
There are gains and there are losses. We won the virtuous cycle of rapid development, but we also lost the patience to polish our basic business capabilities..
Sitting in the driver's seat, Nathan checked Renly's seat belt before starting the engine, "We are going to West Hollywood. Andy rented a room for you so that you can come in and out during the next filming..”
“oh? Why don't you continue to live in hotels? "Renly raised his eyebrows and asked curiously..8
