American Life

Chapter 146 Special Family Background

"You can take a look around. The boss spent a lot of money to build this palace." Artis took Margot to visit her room.

"This place used to attract a lot of tourists every year."

"I have never been to such a magnificent place before." Margot looked at the gorgeous furnishings in the room and couldn't help but marvel. She grew up in a single-parent family in Australia, and her economic conditions were not very well-off. It's pretty bleak.

When he was 12 years old, in order to reduce the burden on his family, he used his spare time to clean tableware in a restaurant in the town to support his family.

"It's okay, it's not particularly luxurious here. The boss bought a mansion in Los Angeles some time ago. It's really grand there. It has an independent cave and a zoo, covering an area of ​​six acres."

Although I have heard about the luxurious life of many celebrities, it was just hearsay. At least when filming the movie, the staff around Margot, including the director and the leading actors, were not high-profile. This time, Margot saw it with her own eyes. Witness the life of the rich.

In fact, she may be interested in Charlie Rossi's agency. In addition to valuing PB Pictures' current resources and good training for its artists, the most important thing is that she can make money quickly, and there is a pretty good amount. The signing fee is what matters most to her.

"Such a big house... it takes a lot of manpower to clean and maintain it every year, right?" Margot gently touched the countertop of the makeup mirror, being very careful as she was afraid that she would leave fingerprints on it.

"That's natural. The biggest headache for these historic mansions is maintenance, which costs millions of dollars every year."

"Millions of dollars? Is it such an exaggeration?" Even though it was not her own expense, just hearing about it made Margot feel a burst of pain.

"What's going on here? Just the house we live in now has cost tens of millions of dollars to renovate and purchase high-end furniture." Artis then added.

Margot couldn't help but curse.

Seeing the embarrassment of the young girl, Atis said very considerately: "Don't be afraid, you don't need to provide any funds here. Everything here is free for you."

I'm afraid she will have psychological pressure.

"Isn't it expensive to live here?" Margot asked cautiously.

"Don't worry about this. Anyway, don't worry. Charlie is very generous to his subordinates. In a sense, he is a good boss."

That night, Margaret lay on a soft and comfortable mattress that cost tens of thousands of dollars for the first time in her life. She was a little excited, a little nervous, and even a little apprehensive.

In the remaining three days, she didn't meet Charlie much. Most of them were fleeting glances when Charlie returned to the room at night. However, she was not alone. She mingled with Charlie's three assistants, and it was approaching the weekend. I went shopping on Oak Street with the three of us.

On the fourth day, with the photography team in place, Margot officially started shooting.Charlie went to visit the set. During the filming interval, the two chatted.

"You did well, Margot Robbie." Charlie encouraged her.

"Thank you. I'm actually a little nervous. Fortunately, I have the experience of joining a film crew before." Margot responded with a smile.

"I'm curious, how did you get into the crew of "The Wolf of Wall Street"?" Charlie asked suddenly.

He has always been very curious about this. After all, Martin Scorsese is considered a great director, and actresses are vying for his new movies. Somehow, they can choose such an unknown young person. He is a young man with no acting experience.

This is a bit strange. Is there some kind of deal?

Charlie signed her before because he was completely optimistic about her future development. In a few years, she will become popular all over the world with the role of Harley Quinn. He didn't ask much about what happened before. To be honest, he didn't care about Margot at all. Like knowing Taylor so well.

"Actually, there is nothing complicated. I passed the interview with Director Martin. It's that simple." Margot explained.

"That time I was really nervous. I couldn't speak as soon as I walked in. Director Martin asked me to relax. I put on the look in the play, with long blond hair, just like Sharon Tate. The retro look of the era turned out pretty well. I received a call from Director Martin’s assistant. In fact, I didn’t have any hope at all at first. All in all, I’m very grateful to Director Martin for giving me this opportunity.” Margot continued.

"Then you are really lucky to have met a good director." Charlie said from the bottom of his heart.

"And before that?"

"Before, I was going to school while receiving relevant professional training, and working part-time. Sometimes I had to be a promotional model for businesses. In short, it was very tiring. It was my dream that supported me." Margot talked about the past casually. .

"I started working outside when I was very young. I have three brothers and sisters, and I am the eldest. The other three are still in school. We grew up with two cows. Sometimes I don’t even have enough to eat.”

"Luckily you persevered, and the past things are in the past. You will have a new tomorrow. In addition, if you need me to provide support, I will be happy to help." Charlie comforted.

"No need, sir, my previous salary is enough to pay for the tuition of several brothers and sisters." Margot was very grateful, but she still smiled and shook her head in rejection.

Just from her general description, Charlie could feel that her growth experience was different from the girls he had met before.

Her family may not be the worst, but she is able to stay out of the mud, work and study hard. These four words may be easier to say, but if the position is really changed, for a person who aspires to become an actor, For young girls, they will definitely encounter a lot of temptations.

But she persisted, and that alone was very commendable.

"After the photos are taken, you have to go to the filming."

"Okay sir, I have figured it out now. If possible, I would like to take more films, no matter how big or small." Margot said.

"Of course." Charlie nodded, it was just a trivial matter to him.

"When the filming is over, you can just go to Los Angeles with me."

Margot is going to Los Angeles to film, and Charlie is also expected to return to Los Angeles again. The new "Iron Man" has started filming.

Same character, different script.I heard from Kevin Feige that the morale there seemed to be a bit low, and he thought it would be better to go there in person.
