Capítulo 18: Chapter 18: Jenny's New Job
Jeanne paid for the meal without any psychological pressure, and after settling the bill, Cesare drove her home. - Speaking of which, Jenny is very uncomfortable with this, in her old circle, the education of drinking and not driving, and driving without drinking has been done very well. But in the United States, alcohol is too common in social situations, and white people seem to have a high alcohol tolerance, Cesare drank several glasses, both red and white wine, but it still seems that he is still the same as no one, his face is not red, and when it comes to drunk driving, there is nothing taboo about driving under the influence of alcohol, so he is on the road, and no one comes to check along the way.
"So, that's the neighborhood where you live. After arriving downstairs at her house, Cesare did not leave immediately, but got out of the car and looked around, "It's not bad, you don't have to move in the short term, go to a lawyer tomorrow, this is Jim's number, contact him after confirming that the contract is okay, and he will do other things for you." "
"Okay. Jenny had to do as he was told.
"You used to work in a restaurant?" asked Cesare. "Quitting it, now is not the time for you to reach out to the public. "
"But I need living expenses. "The next chance could be a few months away, and I can't sit still and do nothing in a few months, just eating and asking for money." "
"Jim will put you in touch with a new job. Cesare said, turning around and walking towards the door, but stopped halfway through, "By the way, you don't have a boyfriend now, do you?"
Jeanne hesitated, but before she could reply, Cesare said, "Break it up, break it off, the more complete the better." If there's a sex tape, take it back and destroy it right now. I remember Jim saying that you had a good friend who was an actor assistant director before you entered the industry - he was the only person who qualified to stay in your social circle, and you didn't have to contact people too much, which was not good for you. "
He stared at Jenny until she said yes, then he bowed his head and got into the car and drove away.
Wouldn't it be a little too impatient to start arranging her life now? Jenny stood in place and watched the car shadow, thinking about it, she also shook her head and smiled bitterly: in fact, both of them also knew that the cooperative relationship had officially begun, and the contract was just one more guarantee in the legal sense. From dinnertime onwards, Cesare Viggieri was already her manager.
How good is he, and how did he break up with Jennifer Bell? Is it a little too hasty to sign a contract in a daze before these things are even figured out? Everything is in a hurry, in fact, it is a little anxious, maybe it should be delayed until he returns to the United States-
Jenny cut off the distractions that would inevitably arise afterwards. Cesare Vigeri was the best option she could find and it was the right decision to take this opportunity. Otherwise, she would have to wait two more months to see which agent was interested in her after the CSI air, and if it weren't for Cesare, even if CAA threw an olive branch to her two months later (the odds are low), the attitude would certainly not be as unreserved as it is today, and the resources would not be tilted towards her.
Despite his domineering, aloof, and controlling spirits, Cesare is a veteran agent at CAA, who has taken Jennifer Bell from nobody to the powerful new generation she is today, and more importantly, he shares her desire for excellence, a common goal, and a discerning eye for Jenny as he is looking for.
In short, what to do now is to trust Cesare as much as possible and turn more effort into the tempering and polishing of his acting skills. Cesare's evaluation of her is actually very pertinent, now she is far from being excellent in acting, at most she is just 'talented', if you want to go to the end on the road she planned, acting skills and appearance are equally important and indispensable.
She didn't sleep well that night, had many chaotic dreams, and the next day Jenny got up early in the morning and called Dave.
"Lawyer, of course. Dave said, "I can ask Lynch, or Sarah, oh, Sarah is the best, her lawyer is certainly the most experienced in this area, you wait, I'll call you back." "
It didn't take long for her to get the lawyer's phone, charging $300 an hour, reviewing the contract according to the difficulty, the form contract is relatively simple, a thousand and a half, and the result will be available within three working days.
Jenny smiled bitterly and put down the phone: she is about to pay the rent, and in order to film, her salary this month is estimated to be halved, the rent is paid, and after paying the 1,000 and a half, it will be a problem for her to even eat. If the check from CBS arrives late, you might have to go into debt.
Dave quickly called, "How's it going, is it settled?"
"That's it," replied Jenny briskly, "do you have time at noon, to eat together? "
As a result, Dave had a working lunch at noon, and Jenny asked him for dinner again, and learned that he was still not available, so she didn't invite him again.
She worked a night shift for a week, and filming took only five days, and for the remaining two days, Jenny worked out at home during the day and went to the restaurant at night, but it only took eight hours. Johnny, Jessica, and the others didn't notice anything wrong.
The lawyer's review results were very accurate, and he called Jenny before the end of work on the third working day to inform her that there were no hidden trap clauses in the contract, and she could submit it with confidence. Jenny then waited two more days for the contract to be delivered to her home by the federal 'slow', and when she received the contract, she called Jim, who immediately arranged for someone to come to pick up the contract.
"Cesare has already gone through the process with the company," he told Jenny on the phone, his tone a little bit pretentious, "You can go to the restaurant today to quit your job, the company side, after the seal is signed, some courses will be arranged for you, you can't work all day anymore." "
"But I need money. Jenny noted. "Mr. Vijeri said he would give me a new job, is that the case? Without this commitment, I would not have been able to quit my job at the restaurant. "
"Well, Chesa and I have explained. Jim's voice was a little muffled, "You go and resign first, if you want, you can start a new job as soon as you resign." Call me when it's done and I'll pick you up. "
Jenny had no choice but to shout into the phone, "Remember to bring my underwear back to me!"
Jim choked in embarrassment, and he hung up.
The resignation process went smoothly, and Johnny obviously expected it, except for the constant sighing, he didn't say much, just made Jenny promise to return to the Hollywood star if she needed to work in the future. "There's nothing to be shy about, many people's acting careers will have temporary difficulties. Waiters are a lucrative profession and deserve to be a fitting complement. "
Jenny had a good impression of him, and thanked him politely, as for Jessica, she didn't meet Jenny at all, and the moment she knew that Jenny was here to resign, she disappeared through the back door, probably smoking a cigarette.
As for Kevin and the others, they naturally joked one after another, asking Jenny not to forget to take care of it in the future, Johnny even took out the camera and said with a smile, "Now leave a souvenir, and when Jenny becomes famous, this group photo will be the treasure of our town store." "
In the midst of everyone's good-natured jokes, Jenny was arched to Johnny's side, smiling cooperatively, and leaving several photos amid the cheers, which can be regarded as the end of her short career as a waitress in the restaurant.
After settling her salary, she had more than $1,000 in her hand, just offsetting the attorney's fees a few days ago, and all Jenny's belongings now were more than 2,000 yuan in the bank, as well as the $5,000 check that was expected to come. It may be enough for most Americans, but unfortunately Jenny is a white-skinned and yellow-hearted egg person, and the characteristics of the Chinese nation's diligence and simplicity and love of saving have left deep traces in her heart, and without a source of income, she suddenly felt insecure, and she couldn't wait to contact Jim while walking home, "I quit, what about the new job you promised?"
Jim soon drove downstairs to her house, and when Jenny got into the car, he handed her a brown paper bag. "Clothes and pants are all in there. "
Jenny opened it and was a little surprised—her underwear and pants had been washed and stacked properly, and the paper bag had a faint smell of car perfume, which seemed to have been in it for a while. It doesn't look like it's been hastily washed and dried in the past few hours. In other words, Jim didn't do anything indecent with her clothes.
She looked at Jim in surprise, and Jim rolled his eyes, "Please, I also have a bottom line, okay?" If I wanted sex, I would go to a bar and use my job as an excuse to pick up a conversation, instead of hiding in a dark and cramped apartment and jerking off with someone's underwear. "
Jenny laughed, "Wow, confession makes you more attractive." "
"Does that make you want to date me?" asked Jim, making a monkey gesture, "because I will, baby, all you have to do is ask." "
Jenny said. "But Mr. Vijeri told me not to date anytime soon. "
"Ah, yes. Jim stopped joking either, and his tone returned to normal, "Chesa will definitely arrange it that way, you don't need a romantic relationship to distract you in the short term." Even if I were to fall in love, the object would not be a middle-aged man like me - Chesa would never allow it. Besides, you are indeed far above my level. "
"Me?" Jenny didn't like Jim's last statement, "I only had more than $2,000 in my bank card, and I didn't eat the last meal." Jim, where is my level?"
"Maybe you're destitute right now. "But all you're missing is a chance, Cesare is your chance, girl, it's only a matter of time before you become a man from the moment you get his contract." The moment I decided to take you to Cesare, I knew that I would never be able to get you again, and that you would never surrender yourself to date me. Hollywood is a hierarchical world, you are one class, Cesare is one class, and I, Dave and I are another, and our level and yours will never cross. I understand that, and so does Dave. "
Jenny immediately remembered that Jim and Dave had a friendly conversation on her last day of shooting, and she suddenly became a little angry. "What is this? As soon as Vijery decides to sign me, he asks you to warn Dave not to continue to be friends with me?
"What? why did you jump here all of a sudden?" Jim asked, revealing his slowness, and asked a few words in astonishment, before he understood what Jenny meant, and he shook his head and said, "No, no, Chesa didn't say anything like that, and he couldn't have said it." Dave is an actor assistant director, and of course he was the partner of his agent, and I just walked over and chatted with him that afternoon. He and I both want to pursue you, obviously, but neither of us can climb you anymore, and this is also a fact that we know each other, I just licked each other's wounds with him in the past. "
Jenny was still a little annoyed, this time Jim grabbed ahead of her and spoke, "Isn't that true? Chesa pushed off the New York itinerary for you, and came to the set to watch you act, you don't know how many people hate you that afternoon, Chesa is like a superstar in the free transfer market, everyone wants him to be their agent, and he came to the set for you! We all know that unless Mars hits the Earth and the Twin Towers collapse, he'll sign you 100% - As soon as he decides, Boom, you're flying away like a bird out of the cage, we mortals can only run blindly on the ground chasing your shadow, and that's what will happen in the future, we all understand, he understood it earlier than I did, that's why it's so hard for him to let go, so unhappy to see me take you to the Chesa. Anyone who has seen you act knows that you are extremely talented, and Dave must have felt more than anyone else, he knows what to expect after seeing Chesa, and he doesn't want you to go. "
He tilted his head thoughtfully and thought for a moment, "If you want me to say, he must be really infatuated with you." Wow, when you think about it, this man loves you so badly. "
Jenny rolled her eyes exaggeratedly and made a broken gesture to him, "I see, can you be less verbose? Thank you for making my mood even worse." "
"Before you become a superstar, you already have a superstar temper. Jim smiled and pulled into the driveway. "I like it. "
Jenny got out of the car, squinted her eyes and looked at the house in front of her, it is not very big, the two-story building facing the street, a single floor is about 100 square meters, it seems to have a backyard, compared with the super mansions that can be seen everywhere in Beverly Hills, it is not particularly eye-catching, but the value is definitely quite expensive, probably equivalent to the difference between tens of millions and millions, anyway, it is not a house that she can afford to live in now. Moreover, the neighborhood already belongs to Beverly Hills.
"Where is this?" she asked, with some foreboding. "I thought you were going to take me to my new place of work. "
"I am. "This is your new place of work, Cesare's home." "
He pursed his lips and whistled, pointed to a large dog galloping out of the house, and introduced, "And that's what you're doing." "
Note: This chapter was written in early August and mid-August, and I never expected Hollywood to be glamorous these days...
