Remember in one second [End of the God Station] Mobile phone user input address: m.xinwanben.com

After more than seven hours of travel, the bus finally arrived at the end of the trip in the evening.

After Simon got off the car, he stood on the street and looked around. Although he had never been here, based on the information in his mind, he quickly determined that this place should be Burbank in the San Fernando Valley in the northwestern part of Los Angeles County, a distance from him. The ideal destination also needs to climb over the Santa Monica Mountains to the south.

On the other side of the mountain is Hollywood, the real Hollywood in geography.

In the 1980s, although many Hollywood film studios had begun to relocate to the surrounding areas, more production companies, distribution companies, brokerage companies, etc. related to the film industry were still gathered in the world-famous streets in downtown Hollywood. on the street.

Catherine got off the car behind Simon, also stood on the side of the road and looked around. The friend who had agreed to pick up her hadn't arrived yet, so she looked at Simon next to her.

A trip that I thought would be very boring became very fulfilling because of the appearance of this big boy. After exchanging and reading the script, the two talked about a lot of topics with relish during the rest of the trip.

Although she is much younger than herself, Catherine even felt at some moments that she was just a fledgling girl in front of him.

It's hard to imagine how this big boy has accumulated such a wealth of knowledge. Whether it is film, music, or even her professional painting, or many other topics, he can deal with it freely and talk freely, just a few hours. Getting along even gave her a sense of benefit.

About to part, Kathryn suddenly realized that, except for her name and the fact that he came to Los Angeles this time to probably become a screenwriter, she knew almost nothing about Simon, but she was being unknowingly by him. She guided and revealed a lot of things, such as she grew up in San Francisco, this time she went back to visit her parents, her life in Soho, Manhattan, why she was interested in movies and wanted to be a director, etc.

If he did it on purpose, it would be nasty.

However, thinking about it carefully, she didn't seem to ask these questions, she was overwhelmed by many of his topics.

Simon looked at the surrounding situation, turned his head to look at Catherine, saw the woman just looking at him, so he nodded and smiled at her.

Along the way, Simon discovers a very strong contrast between Catherine's own character and her film style. The characters in the women's images often kill, set fire, and speak swear words without any scruples, and live unscrupulously, but Catherine's character in life is very quiet, she speaks softly to people, and even looks very shy.

Of course, Simon didn't feel too strange. This kind of strong personality conflict between real life and personal works, which is almost schizophrenic, is very common among various types of artists.

Thinking like this, Simon asked the woman, "Catherine, is there no one here to pick you up?"

"Yes, but I haven't come here yet," Catherine hadn't brewed up what she wanted to say. She heard Simon speak first, so she shook her head and asked, "How about you?"

Simon shrugged: "I thought we could share a car, aa for the fare."

"I live in Malibu," Katherine said, pointing to the west, "Where are you going, if you're on the way, I can take you there later."

"Malibu, that's a good city," Simon said with a smile on his lips, "Why don't you consider taking me in, cooking, washing, cleaning, I can do all of these, just eat and live."

Catherine glared at Simon lightly, which was regarded as contempt for his behavior of wanting to eat soft rice, but then she explained seriously: "I also borrowed from a friend, but I have no right to take you in."

Simon smiled, of course he was only joking, even if Catherine really agreed, he would decline.

It's not because he can't eat Katherine's "soft meal", but because he has a deep-rooted resistance to living in someone else's house, and he is more accustomed to living in his own house.

Of course, this kind of thing may not happen for a long time in the future.

However, when Catherine said that she was staying at a friend's house, Simon suddenly remembered.

friend?

Is it James Cameron?

In the original time and space, Katherine and Cameron used to be husband and wife. This incident was very hot in the year when "The Hurt Locker" won the Oscar. "The Hurt Locker" vs "Avatar", ex-wife vs ex-husband .

After collecting the information in his mind, Simon quickly rejected the guess.

Cameron's current wife is still Gail Anne Hurd, the producer of "Terminator" and Cameron's Bole. The two just got married last year. Although Cameron is not a stable man, they should not divorce until three or four years later.

Catherine naturally didn't know Simon's thoughts, and after explaining, she added: "Simon, since you don't know anyone in Los Angeles and you plan to become a screenwriter, then you should need an agent, right? Maybe I can help."

Although Simon had some plans of his own, when he heard Catherine's words, he became serious and said, "Can I, I mean, if it's not troublesome?"

"Of course it's not troublesome," Catherine shook her head and said, "However, I can only introduce you. Whether you can convince the other party to become your agent requires your own efforts. wma, do you know? That's a very good family. Nice agency."

orris-agency), William Morris Agency, Simon Self

Of course, we know that this talent agency, established at the end of the 19th century, is still the largest agency in Hollywood to this day.

Of course, according to the information Simon knows, the current situation of wma is definitely not good, but a thin dead camel is bigger than a horse, not to mention that wma, an elephant that is still far away from thin dead, can crush a large camel without any problem. If he can enter such a brokerage company, Simon can definitely avoid a lot of detours.

After all, although many Hollywood stars always claim that they suddenly met an agent while shopping, eating and walking, it seems that they have been on the rise ever since.

But don't doubt, 99% of these gossips are deceitful. If you don't believe it, open the imdb page of a certain star at will, and see how many years have passed between the other party's first performance and his famous masterpiece, and you will know how tortuous their road to fame is.

Although he has opportunities and resources that are incomparable to others, Simon has already planned to stay in Hollywood for three or five years. He is only 18 years old this year, and he has no shortage of time.

Of course, at this time, Catherine can give him some help within her power, and Simon will never be hypocritical enough to refuse.

The two walked to a nearby coin-operated phone booth together. Catherine found a phone book in her luggage and flipped through it for a while before making a call.

Simon stood by and waited patiently.

Catherine talked to the other side for a while, then turned around and asked softly, "Simon, how do you spell 'Westeros'?"

Simon spelled out his last name at once: "w-e-s-t-e-r-o-s."

Catherine hummed, turned back, and talked for more than a minute before hanging up.

"Fortunately, Mr. Friedman is still in the office. I forgot that I'm off work now, but wma has been messy recently, so it's not surprising to work overtime." Catherine said a little embarrassedly, and found the pen booth hurriedly on her phone. Write something on the book, then tear it off and hand it to Simon, exhorting: "Tomorrow at four o'clock in the afternoon, at the headquarters of William Morris Corporation, you must not be late. Tell them at the front desk that you have an appointment, and someone will be there. I'll take you there, you can make this call if you really can't."

Simon nodded, took the note and glanced at it.

At the top is a name, Jonathan Friedman, apparently Mr. Friedman as Catherine just said. Next is 150 Camino Street, Beverly Hills, which is supposed to be the WMA headquarters address. Finally, there is a string of phone numbers.

Putting the note in his wallet, and watching the woman lift up his satchel, Simon suddenly remembered it again, and said, "Catherine, what about you, I mean, if I don't get along well, I will starve to death on the street, always. Do you want to know how to help you?"

Catherine listened to Simon's words and gave him a light glance. She took out the phone book again and started writing, but she joked: "If you have hands and feet, if you can starve to death on the street, I won't care."

As the two were talking, a few loud car horns suddenly sounded on the side of the road, a wine red Ford sedan stopped, and the woman in the driver's seat obviously couldn't wait to stick her head out of the car window and said to the two: "Kate, I caught you. Hey, little boy, get in the car, don't talk to the big sister on the side of the road, you will be dragged into the alley and eaten."

Catherine handed the written contact information to Simon, and said helplessly to the woman in the car, "Jenny, you're late again."

"Maybe I shouldn't have come, I must have disturbed you, right?" The woman named Jenny pushed open the car door, walked over with a smile, and stretched out her hand to Simon: "Janet Johnston, little boy, you What is your name?"

Simon looked at the woman in front of him, wearing a pink tight-fitting T-shirt with a string of English letters printed on it, high-waisted jeans, and fluffy blond hair with a shawl. Although he was not as pretty as Katherine, his figure after wearing high-heeled shoes also looked quite tall and graceful. A well-maintained face also makes it impossible to tell her age.

However, Simon clearly felt that there was a bit of madness in this woman's character.

What's more, is it really good to drive in high heels?

With this in mind, Simon politely shook hands with the other party and introduced himself: "Simon Westeros."

"Strange surname," Janet Johnston muttered, looked Simon up and down again, with a very satisfied expression, then turned to Katherine and said, "Then, Kate, let's bring him back home!"

Catherine put her luggage in the back seat of the roadside car, came over and said, "Jenny, stop joking, let's go."

Janet obviously didn't intend to let the two of them go easily, she stretched out her hand to hold Catherine's arm to keep her from going away, but stared at Simon and said curiously, "Little boy, it looks like you just arrived in Los Angeles with Kate? Well? , I guess, your home is also in San Francisco, right, which city, I asked for Kate?"

Simon looked over with some curiosity when he saw Catherine. After thinking for a while, he said, "Probably, San Jose."

Janet gave Simon a dissatisfied look, and dragged her voice: "It's really interesting, probably."

Simon shrugged and wrote lightly, "I don't have a home, I just grew up in San Jose."

"How could someone not have a home," Janet said, ignoring Katherine's small gesture of pulling her arm, and asked, "Then where did you live before you came to Los Angeles?"

Simon curved the corners of his mouth, showing a harmless smile, and said, "Watsonville Mental Hospital."
