036 uninvited guest
Andy Rogers pushed open the door of Pioneer Village and waited until there was no one on the porch. He opened the red curtain and entered the bar. The warm air in the room made him start to sweat faintly. He took out a dark blue striped handkerchief from his pocket, wiped his forehead, and then began to look at the interior decoration..
The green decorations in his eyes made him slightly lower his jaw. He didn't like St. Patrick's Day because it was neither a money-making holiday like Christmas nor a way to fool women like Valentine's Day. He couldn't see the existence of this holiday. necessary.
“Sir." A smiling woman walked over to the right, holding a stack of disposable paper plates. "We won't open until five o'clock today..”
Hearing the voice, the shallow arc at the corner of Andy's mouth naturally rose, his small eyes narrowed into a slit, and his chubby cheeks were lightly pink, looking like Santa Claus. Amicable, "I know, Happy St. Patrick's Day!" Andy's friendly opening made the other party smile widely, and he also replied "Happy Holidays", "I came here to find a man named Renly Hall. young man wondering if he will work today？”
“Oh, Renly! "The lightness between the other party's brows reflected in Andy's eyes, "He's right there..”
Following the instructions, Andy saw two people sitting in the corner on the other side of the bar. Next to them, a man in an elf costume was jumping happily, "Haha! I knew it! I knew it!" Then he started Wandering in place, shouting to the others, "I won, I won, I knew Renly would be convinced by Stanley, hahahaha! Where's the bet? Where's the bet?"？”
The joyful scene made the whole bar burst into excitement in an instant, and other people joined in the celebration. "So, why did you come here to find Renly...?" The questioning voice in front of him made Andy look away, and his face That kind and kind smile still makes people feel like spring breeze, "Old friend, I am an old friend.”
“Oh, that's it." The woman showed a look of realization, and then said friendlyly, "We will have a party here tonight, and everyone is welcome to attend. If you don't have a date, you are welcome to join us..”
Andy still had a warm smile on his face, "People always tell me that New York is an indifferent city, but now it seems that my view is wrong." There was no positive answer, but he succeeded in making the other party show his brilliant smile. Smile, be gentlemanly and polite, be concise and clever, and leave no trace behind.
“Renly! The other party turned his head and shouted loudly, "An old friend is visiting!" Then, she turned her head and expressed her kindness to Andy again, "I hope you have a pleasant time in New York." When Renly came over, she took the paper plate and walked briskly towards the party. The dining table passed by.
Andy put his hands behind his back and looked carefully at Renly who was standing in front of him. He was wearing a green suit that suited the occasion. His slightly curly short hair was slightly messy. He looked like a dwarf from a fairy tale. But The slender figure has nothing to do with dwarves. The huge contrast creates a sense of humor, but those clear eyes are filled with a bright smile, like the spring wind rumpling a lake. , gently rippled away.
“Good afternoon." Renly's footsteps stopped three steps away, his eyes looked politely, and he carefully searched the memories in his mind, but found that there was no image that matched the number, "I think, this It must be our first meeting？”
The man in front of him looked about forty years old, with a slightly chubby figure. He was wearing a neat and tight three-piece suit. The black suit was paired with a dark gray vest. Renly could tell at a glance that this was A handmade suit, although not as high-end as Savile Row in London, is at least $2,000 and probably made in Italy..
All the buttons of the vest are buttoned up, but they still can't hide the slightly bulging beer belly. The round belly stretches the buttons to the extreme, and you can even feel the pain of the buttons being squeezed. But the tailoring and strict lines , upright design, every detail reveals the atmosphere of the elite, which can easily make people ignore the slight disharmony caused by the general's belly..
“This is indeed our first meeting, Andy Rogers." Andy took the initiative to extend his right hand and took the lead in expressing friendship..
Renly held the opponent's right hand and shook it politely. With his red face and smiling face, Renly couldn't help but think of the image of Maitreya Buddha in his mind. This sense of dissonance made Renly secretly grit his teeth. , thus avoiding the rudeness of laughing out loud in person, "Nice to meet you. Are you here specially to attend the party tonight?？”
Although this was only the first time Renly met the other party, Renly behaved very appropriately and was not aggressive. Instead, he greeted him politely..
Andy was still smiling, "You can feel it, the whole city is full of partying today." However, he still did not give a direct answer, but turned his head and looked around, "Why don't we sit down first? My heart I need a good rest." Those self-deprecating words easily brought the two people closer..
Renly took Andy to the side and sat down. In this short period of time, Andy sweated again on his forehead. It was not because he exercised too much, but because the indoor temperature was relatively high. Andy did not take off his suit jacket. Naturally, he sweats easily. "Neil, can you give me a soda?" Renly turned around and shouted..
“If it's Coke, that would be great." Andy was a little surprised by Renly's carefulness and thoughtfulness, but all his thoughts were hidden behind that honest and honest smile. Instead of expressing gratitude, he made even more demanding requests. —an innocuous request.
Renly couldn't help but smile, "Please forgive me for being rude." He turned around again and said, "Neil, Coke.”
Neil took out a can of Coke and a cup from the bar, skillfully filled it with a few ice cubes, and placed them in front of Andy. Andy nodded with a smile, expressed his gratitude, and waited until Neil left. , he poured out the Coke, took a big sip, and then relaxed.
During the whole process, neither of them spoke. Andy was not in a hurry, and Renly seemed even less anxious..
Andy found this very interesting. Judging from the information he had gathered, Renly had just turned twenty this year, which is the age when he is restless, eager, and impulsive. However, the young man in front of him showed composure and determination beyond his age. , the image heard gradually began to match the real person..
“Aren't you curious who I am? Andy said with a smile. It looked like Santa Claus was asking the children what gifts they wanted, but he was not too childish and it was easy to make people feel good about him..
Renly's mouth curved slightly, "As far as I know, he shouldn't be my admirer..”
“Haha." This little humor made Andy chuckle. "Actually, it's okay for you to say that. I'm an admirer." As expected, Andy saw a hint of surprise in Renly's eyes. , there is still a trace of doubt.
Andy took out a small silver iron box from the inner pocket of his suit. It was only about the size of a palm and very delicate. It looked like an expensive antique. Then Andy opened it clumsily with his sweet and thin fingers. He took out a business card from the silver box and handed it to Renly, "Please allow me to formally introduce myself. My name is Andy Rogers, an agent..”
Renly lowered his head and looked at the business card in his hand. It was a pearl white card. His fingertips could touch the exquisitely designed dark patterns on it. The cool dark black fonts revealed elegance and charm, and it marked everything concisely but appropriately. Information, every detail makes this business card a work of art.
Renly noticed a small detail. Andy introduced himself very simply, "Agent" without any adjectives..
But in fact, you can tell from his business card that he is a senior agent of Innovative Artists Agency - not only one of the five largest agencies in the industry, but also a leader in the industry, leading the Hollywood agency business for more than two decades. Enduring, it can be called the absolute dominance in the industry.
If they are those who do not have confidence, they will often say extravagant words to decorate themselves, hoping to scare the other party; but for those who are truly strong, they will choose to use their strength to speak. The kind of confidence that emanates from the inside out, are completely different.
In just one meeting, Renly had a profound understanding of Andy..
“broker? "Renly raised his eyebrows slightly, as if he didn't realize how rare it was for Andy to visit him in person, as if he didn't even notice that behind Andy was the Innovative Artist Management Company, "Why? Andy was stunned by this question, and then he burst into laughter, "I mean, why me?" I don’t remember uploading a personal video on YouTube.”
Those joking words made Andy smile even bigger..
Almost every young person with a dream of becoming a star works tirelessly to upload videos on YouTube, or braves the wind and rain to participate in the "American Idol" elective. The ultimate goal is to attract the attention of the industry. As long as they are chosen by an agent , that is a big happy event, worthy of celebration; and this object is not A Cat and A Dog, but an innovative artist management company - Andy believes that Renly noticed the details on the business card, even if he is not ecstatic, at least he should not be so Calm.
“So, you have no interest in being in the spotlight? "Andy didn't answer the question directly, but asked instead.
Renly raised his eyebrows, "Should I be worried about the leakage of my personal information now?" He asked again..
“Haha." At this moment, Andy was really amused. In the short exchange, the twenty-year-old boy in front of him really brought a lot of surprises. After restraining his smile, Andy revealed the answer, "I know You were in 'The Pacific' and, I saw the internal preview.”
