Once Upon a Time In Hollywood

  Chapter 155 Free agent, wonderful domain name

   "Why were you stunned just now?"

   "Such a good opportunity was almost wasted by you!"

As soon as he came out of Sony Studios, the agent stopped the car against the curb without unfastening his seat belt. Holding the steering wheel, he turned around very twistedly, his neck stretched out like a goose, his head It almost went straight to the past, and the surging words even made the girl in the back seat stunned.

   "You know what you almost missed?"

   "It's the first time I met you directly!"

"Roland said hello to you in a friendly way. Why don't you just follow his words? Why do you look at him with strange eyes? Do you think he's overly enthusiastic and malicious? Or do you think he's out of his mind? "

The exasperated and surprised girl was stunned for a few seconds by the vehement questioning. When she came to her senses, a pang of apology flooded her face. Although she didn't open her mouth to explain, this kind of tacit behavior also made the manager Taking a deep breath, staring at the girl who was listening attentively, his tone became much calmer, "Robert Mulligan is indeed your father's comrade in arms, but his highlight moment in Hollywood was "To Kill a Mockingbird", And Diane Keaton, who let us hear about the audition this time, will people pay attention to you all the time? This kind of unexpected opportunity is very rare! Please don't waste it, okay?"

  Hearing the earnest words, the girl nodded silently. After seeing the 'doormat' appearance of the other party, the manager sighed, sat down again, started the car, and continued on.

That's right, Diane Keaton was the key to letting Reese Witherspoon hear the news of the "Spider-Man" audition. This Oscar-winning actress who played with Francis Coppola and Woody Allen was in In 1990, I became a director and made a movie called "Wild Flowers". Reese's second work after her debut was to cooperate with her.

   Of course, although there is a relationship to protect himself, after a few soy sauces, he got mixed up with the heroine within three years and filmed "Phantom Hunting", but this kind of relationship network is not enough in front of Roland.

In fact, when facing Roland, Reese's sudden froze behavior had already made the agent who came with her scream badly, because at this time they, or no matter how they climbed up, Roland There is no way to offend people with this small poke, just like Renee Zellweger played in the movie that was sealed with "Judy". In this circle, without the blessing of capital, then you It will never be you, but a commodity on an industrial production line.

  Free eating, drinking and sleeping are all extravagant wishes.

  Although Forbes only broke the news about Roland’s net worth in a superficial way, when Michael Jackson was tossed like crazy, none of the media, the police, and even the plaintiff mentioned Roland.

In addition, Reese's agent came from CAA, and the flat management model in CAA let him know a lot of news. In his opinion, Roland, who couldn't win CAA before becoming famous, showed goodwill to his employer. That's it!

  Compared to him, you are just a poor guy!

  Since you have nothing, are you still worried about being cheated?

   As for the body?

hehe…

   Go out and ask, how many insiders are willing to be deceived by him?

   It was with this mentality that when he delivered the 'ancestor' whom he was serving to the door, he did not forget to say, "I'll give you three days to deal with the school's affairs."

   "I will take you to the studio in the next few days, this is your chance to take off, don't mess it up!"

  If Roland were to know about Ruixi's agent's weird brain circuit, then he would definitely be like Yang Shaoxia who forced him to **** Laozi Nick Yang, with question marks all over his head—is Laozi's behavior so peculiar?

  If the other party can hear it, then he will definitely agree—yes.

  Which A+list in Hollywood is not proud?

  Although people are kind in front of them, unless it is a gold bug, who will welcome the heroine when she signs a contract?

  Don’t say that you don’t know each other, but get closer—

   There are many opportunities to get to know each other!

What about fittings, makeup, script readings, the time for close conversations is a sea of ​​​​time, there is no need to meet at the beginning, let alone "revealing" the director's old background, indicating that the other party can follow the actor's speaking habits The lines have been revised!

  Yes, Roland, who was a little impatient because he couldn't find Yahoo, in the eyes of normal people, that was reflected in a glance. As for Reese, it was the decision of Catherine and James? This is also to deceive children.

  Outsiders don't know what's going on with Roland, so how can insiders not? Even if those grassroots are not clear, none of them can participate in the audition. It's just that Roland's status is too high.

   But Roland didn't care what his vision was. On the morning of September 4th, after unexpectedly seeing the other party appear in front of him, Roland, who was still thinking about how to ask the other party out, felt very happy.

  In the eyes of others, Reese, who has grown from natural to natural, is entering Roland's state 'in advance'.

But for Roland, spying on Stanford news under the guise of getting to know each other and creating a sense of classmate in advance is the top priority. In Roland's mind, there were 100,000 beasts galloping past—you, an American actress, are studying English at Stanford?

  Are you kidding me?

   Going to Stanford to learn English is better than finding a few oral English teachers to teach at home!

  But it's not his turn to take care of what the other party learns.

After confirming that the other party didn't have much contact with computers, Roland was a little disappointed that he didn't get a satisfactory answer, but he was not discouraged. He didn't want to wait for the result, and he suggested that the other party take him to her school to find students. a feeling of.

  For Roland's thoughts, the eyes of others are even more strange, and Reese—

  She knew that she couldn't refuse a legitimate reason like Roland's.

  If the seniors of the experience school knew that Roland chose to liberate his nature for acting, they would definitely be moved to cry, because the school's grove is the easiest place to breed feelings.

  But Roland didn't think much about it at all. After arriving at Stanford, he instantly became the focus of attention without concealing his identity. Under his secret investigation, these guys gave him an unexpected answer——

   "What? You said that the website you use most now is 'Jerry and David's Guide to the World Wide Web'?" ​​Roland couldn't believe it.

  What a weird name!

   Never heard of it!

If it's Yahoo's former name, it's comparable to Barilla's former name 'Pete's Subway', Starbucks' former name 'Warehouse Coffee', Nike's former name 'Blue Ribbon Sports', and Google's former name Is 'web crawler' even harder to remember?

   Roland's surprise did not cause others surprise. The chubby guy who was holding a book and looking for Roland's autograph saw that Roland was curious, so he trembled, wanting to talk more with his favorite celebrity.

"That's right, this guide was made by my seniors. They searched for a lot of information on the Internet in order to complete the thesis, but in the process of collecting information, they felt that there were too many web pages to remember, so they wrote a special one. Categorization Guide."

"The guide is placed in the workstation of our school. Many people use it every day. The normal operation of the school computer is often disturbed by this. The school has told them many times, but they have no money, can't form a company, and can't buy it. start the server."

When he heard the word 'they', Roland had a premonition that he had found the right one, and under his inquiry, the name Jerry Yang finally appeared. Although it was far from Yang Zhiyuan, the special identity of Asian, Impossible to go wrong.

As a result, Roland, who was pretending to be a real detective, slapped his forehead, thanked the guide Reese, and said that he remembered something and needed to go back immediately to deal with it, and Roland went straight into David's room when he got home. In the study room, when he was used to breaking in naturally and wanted to tell the other party the goal he had chosen, Ganetti, who also came out of the study, expressed his surprise with blushing cheeks, "Didn't you say you were going to Stanford with Reese?" Playing, are you coming back on Friday?"

   "Ah, there was an accident, so I came back early." Roland replied casually.

   "Then why don't you call us in advance? We can also let the chef prepare dinner?" Ganetti pulled his tone.

"I can eat anything..." Roland responded instinctively when he entered the room, but after he smelled the strange smell in the air, he immediately turned his gaze to the person sitting behind the desk. David, when he caught sight of the disheveled shirt of the other party, he quickly changed his words after guessing the reason, and said, "The company's affairs are more important than what to eat."

"You can't learn from us. The reason we argue is because no one can convince anyone. Your company can listen to you alone. There is no need to delay your health for work." Ganetti forcefully explained, Then he said: "I'll go talk to them and ask them to prepare something you like..."

"Oh, by the way, are you going to pick up Liki later? David and I promised Ashley and Mary to pick them up together. Originally, we wanted to pick them up first, and then turn around to pick up Liki. Now you came back…"

   "No problem." Roland nodded with a smile, knowing that they wanted to confess.

   At the same time as he answered, the satisfied Ganetti also pulled the door away. When the "bang" sounded, Roland, like Holmes, carefully looked around with his 24K titanium anti-riot dog eyes.

   After confirming that there were no traces of battle in the place he had chosen, he sat opposite David with a pia.

  The moment he sat down, he even slammed his mouth, "Tsk tsk tsk..."

   "I really didn't expect it! My dear Uncle David!"

   "If you let James and the others know that your parents want to give them a younger brother or sister when you go on a school trip, I think they will be very happy, right? Especially Li Qi?"

   "She is finally not the youngest one in the family!"

Hearing the words of 'unscrupulous', David was out of breath. He glared at Roland, knocked on the table, and said directly: "Did you come back suddenly to find a way for us? Or did you take the girl Reese down?" gone?"

  Roland had a whim, and went to Stanford to play with the actress newly selected by the crew. This kind of thing would naturally arouse the imagination of the parents.

  Although during the years of being together, David felt that Roland was not the kind of impatient person.

  But no one knows which will come first, the accident or tomorrow.

   Even the guy who is taking Go can be better than the teacher, so what else is impossible?

  But David did not give special instructions when Roland left, because he was afraid of arousing the rebellious psychology of adolescent children. In his opinion, if Roland came back on time, there would be nothing wrong with it, but if it was earlier or later...

   It is necessary for him to talk to Roland.

   Now, Roland is telling himself nasty jokes with an indifferent attitude. In this situation...

Yes, he didn't think there was anything wrong with being intimate with his wife at home, but when he wanted to test the question, Roland, who said the joke in a joking tone, directly took David's reply as an angry rebuttal Tucao, while shaking his head in denial, he also smiled and said: "Oh, don't be like this, I really just visited Stanford under the leadership of Reese."

"Really? Then you found a business opportunity related to the company in Stanford?" David didn't believe it. Knows better than you."

   "The field you invest in has nothing to do with your school, so don't hide it. It's normal to want to fall in love when you're old. It's useless if you keep hiding it. I'm not a fool..."

  Hearing what David said, the smile on Roland's face became even wider.

  Being misunderstood by others as being in a relationship is better than being misunderstood as a prophet.

  In the time loop, Roland has already detected that David is a very superstitious guy. If it wasn't for his own safety, he wouldn't have had to try his best to blame him these years.

   "Okay, Okay." Roland stood up, pulled the chair, and wanted to get closer to the table.

  After sitting down again, he rested his chin on one hand and looked at the other person, "Do you remember the situation when we went to England?"

   "Internet Movie Database, Cardiff University."

   "How many of them have the money to buy servers?"

   "They can only parasitize in universities without money. So, why can't Stanford find interesting things?"

   Hearing what Roland said, David believed a little bit, but he didn't change his words immediately, but continued to ask.

   "Then what interesting thing did you find?"

   "Oh... a website that is very suitable for the elderly like James!" Roland said without hesitation.

   "James? An old man?" David suspected that he heard it wrong, because his son is not old!

   After reacting, Roland immediately realized that he hadn't said clearly, and quickly added: "James Cameron, he is an old man."

"James Cameron has been telling me recently that it is too painful to write a script with a pen. He saw that the computer typed very quickly, so he wanted to learn and asked me to teach him. In the process of teaching him, He also found that the Internet is very interesting, but there are too many domain names of various websites, it is difficult to remember..."

"I've been thinking about whether to let Cole or Mike write a website that categorizes domain names when they are free, so that they can just remember a domain name. I didn't know that when I went back to Stanford to play, I happened to know that there were people in their school. I have already made this kind of webpage called 'Jerry and David's Guide to the World Wide Web'. After looking at it, I want to invest! It doesn't matter whether it is profitable or not, as long as they don't die, those old James Cameron People will have the good news of fast Internet access!"

   That's right, Roland finally pinned the blame on James.

   No way, who told him that among the elderly people he knew who couldn't remember the domain name, only the truck driver had met him recently?

And when Roland doubled up again and pulled each other out as a shield, David, who was still suspicious of Roland and Reese's relationship, put away this idea, because in his opinion, if Roland really fell in love with someone , the needs of the truck driver will never be the root of driving Roland to go home early—Roland and the truck driver will fight if they stay for a long time. The conflict between the two is so great, how could Roland give up on love and think of each other? ?

  If Roland knew what he was thinking, he would be happier.

   Come on!

  From then on, just pile the blame on this old man!

   "Okay, for the sake of benefiting the elderly, I'll ask someone to talk to you about investment."

   "What's the name of this site... 'Jerry and David's Guide to the World Wide Web'? What a weird name? Do you think those James guys remember it?"

   "Forget it, when I ask people to talk, let people ask if they can change their names."

   "How much are you going to vote for? Let me know, so I can talk about it."

   Whoops! This rhythm is right!

   Roland, who received the approval letter, was finally satisfied, "How much I vote for this matter, of course I will follow the law."

   "Didn't the "1993 Securities Law" come out last year, and angel investment should not exceed 20%? Let's go by this standard."

   "Of course, don't force others."

   "If they don't have commercial ideas now, then leave him a call. When you are short of money, come to us. After all, we are not devils, we can't force others to drop out of Stanford!"

   Note: ①Reese is from CAA, and his current husband is also the agent of CAA, but her husband does not take her. Her agent does take care of her private life. When she was 21 years old and talking to Ryan Philip, her agent was very opposed and wanted her to follow the path of Sister Tian, ​​but she chose comedy herself, so she had "The Merry Teacher Thunderbolt" sister". ② Behind Reese is indeed Diane Keaton. Diane used her in the first film she wanted to be a director, and Diane is Pacino's wife in the "Godfather" series. Of course, this is not the point. The point is that she and Woody Allen started talking in the 1970s. She won the movie after the best actress, that is, Woody Allen won the best director, and she made "Annie Hall", or In that sentence, the teachers who teach acting are all liars. As for the origin of the name of the movie "Annie-Hall", Anne is Diane's nickname, and Hall is her real surname. ③Yahoo was indeed called 'Jerry and David's Guide to the World Wide Web' at the beginning, and the domain name was 'JDGWWW'. However, Jerry Yang himself often made mistakes, so he changed the name when the number of hits exceeded one million in the second half of 1994. Yahoo, later encountered the same problem as Blizzard when registering the company. The name was registered by someone, so they added an exclamation point to Yahoo. ④ If the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission Regulation No. 501 and the 1993 Securities Act have clear standards for angel investors, the investor must have a net asset of one million yuan and an annual income of not less than two hundred thousand yuan, or invest at least ten million in the transaction. 50,000, the proportion shall not exceed 20%.
