"Did you read the headlines on TMZ?" Owen leaned against the door of the nanny's car, his tone was like the dean of a boarding school explaining the rules to new students.

But it might be difficult to scare Alex away by relying on this. No, Alex, who was obediently raising his head to facilitate Katie's makeup, just showed a naive and innocent expression to Owen, He also used a strange chant: "Oh, I don't know, what happened, my dear Owen?"

In fact, it is also difficult for Owen to treat Alex with such a tough and severe attitude when he treats other artists under him. Of course, one of them is because Alex has caused too many troubles. Owen They have been unable to control and become numb. Another point is that the relationship they get along with is much more humane than the initial employment.

Just like how many people in Hollywood are vying for Alex to be the lucky winner of the box office, there are also more artists who come to Ala, hoping that Irving will become their manager. After all, no matter how talented Alex is, But as long as you are interested, you can understand that Alex has been in Hollywood for some years, but after signing with Ala and coming to Irving's hands, he gradually revealed his current appearance as a miracle boy, so people think it is It is only natural that Owen, the agent, has the ability to turn stones into gold.

But Owen is naturally aware of the unnecessary praise given to him, and he has tried to explain it, but the rumors are still circulating. A large part of the reason is that Alex has already promised these things for him before Owen spoke.

Like the meeting with Weinstein, after all, there is no need to verify Alex's magical box office ability, but Harvey never believes that it is just luck, so he has been trying to learn from Alec again. What did Si get here, but the latter's superb acting skills played a role at this moment, he would only say heartily and without any grievances, "It was Owen who made the decision for me. I am glad that I listened to his words..." And along with these, Owen gradually saw Harvey looking at him thoughtfully.

Although confused at first, Owen quickly understood Alex's intentions and was moved by it.

Although no one has noticed it for the time being, and Owen tried his best not to show it, but only he himself knows that yes, he really has to face a difficult problem, his midlife crisis.Owen is in his 40s. He has been married and divorced. It’s hard to say whether he is lucky or unlucky. He has no children yet. He is still the same as before, eager and focused on his work, but Owen began to feel powerless, and he His body warns him of anxiety, self-loathing, and growing out of control.

Of course, Owen also went to a psychological counselor, who always told him that while cooperating with drug treatment, he had to relax himself moderately, and no one would even say anything about a certain degree of indulgence. Of course Owen would do it obediently. Then when he was free to meet with the consultant again, the latter told him in surprise that his condition had recovered, and couldn't wait to ask him what he had done in the past few months.

Owen thought about it. In addition to the necessary work, he seemed to have attended a lot of private parties with Alex. This is still a social occasion to expand contacts. Of course, many people talked about projects here, but the wine After waking up, both parties will forget about it completely, and then Owen in these parties is just alcohol, cigars, and even he has become accustomed to the compliments from those who approach him, and from time to time he brags about himself.

In addition, during the day, he would receive a call from Xu Yiyi to lure him to find another job with a generous reward. Of course, Owen would smile and refuse after listening to the other party's good words. The b-list artists hope to sign a brokerage contract with him.

To achieve a position like Irving, he also has a team of managers composed of many people, so as long as Irving is willing, it is not a problem to sign these artists, but these artists are also impossible to get a job like Alex. Exclusive service.

But it is undeniable that when Alex heard that he was going to accompany a potential b-list to audition in the UK, he crossed his arms and asked, "You have to promise that you will not change your mind, I am still the first on your client list It will always be, right?" Owen felt particularly satisfied when he said these words, although he still can't explain why the middle-aged crisis brought him a girlish heart.

Of course Owen would like to thank Alex for accompanying him through all this, although the kid pretended to make it seem like nothing had happened.At the celebration banquet where Alex won the Golden Ball, Owen was also drunk, but Owen remembered clearly what Alex said while hooking his shoulder.

"You asked me from the beginning why I came to Hollywood, and I only chose the most boring answer, I said I want my handprints to be left on the Walk of Fame...yes, I started from you at that time I read it from the expression on my face, if I directly said that I need to buy a villa with a beach in Malibu as soon as possible, I am afraid you will come to appreciate me more..."

Owen shook the wine bottle, chuckled, and replied loudly, "Extremely accurate", and Alex continued: "Yes, people come to Hollywood for fame and fortune, and I am the same, just To be more specific, this is a challenge for me, I have long been fed up with that kind of life, living in other people's stories, no matter how hard I try, I want to have my own life, but I It is always an insignificant role, and I am afraid that I will not leave any traces in the end, including the efforts I have made, the feelings I have given... Simply, I will not do this anymore..."

Owen felt that he could understand every word Alex said, but he didn't quite understand what these words together meant, but before he could figure it out, Alex stopped going on and replaced it with With the crisp sound of colliding wine bottles, Alex smiled at him. At this moment, he didn't have a hairstyle that would make his facial features more three-dimensional, and he didn't have a makeup artist to modify his face A little imperfect freckles, but at the moment he is more handsome than ever, and people can't take their eyes off.

"And I want to thank you, my dear Owen, old man - think about the rampage I had when I first came to Hollywood, without you, I'm afraid it would be difficult for me to take this step so quickly, in the world I want to have In life..."

Owen didn't have time to respond to Alex's words at the time. Perhaps it was a common problem of middle-aged men of his age, who were not very good at expressing feelings, but he should be the one who thanked Alex more, because Owen once thought that His life will only be like that, he will slowly hand over his artists to others after the contract expires, and then he will do more management work, Owen seems to have gradually forgotten At first he came to Hollywood and became an agent, he had to work hard, and then he became a legendary superstar. After all, the more familiar he was with Hollywood, the more he could understand the naivety and unrealism of his original dream, until he met Asia Alex, he even vaguely saw this possibility, and every moment of getting along in the future, he became more determined.

Of course, such a little trouble on the road to the legend can no longer hit Owen in the slightest, but he still has to repeat it with Alex——

"Promise me, the next time you roll around on the beach with the captain in your arms, don't ask you to pay attention to those paparazzi, because they are everywhere, but you have to tell me first, so that I can pay for it." Buy these pictures—”

Alex was indeed a little surprised that he and the captain would be photographed that day. After all, who would have expected that those paparazzi were hiding in the bushes almost on the other side of the coast, but Alex still had something to explain: "They are It was filmed like this on purpose, in fact, the captain and I didn't do anything, we were just fighting!"

Owen couldn't help but let out a sneer, then he took out his mobile phone, and called up the pictures he had saved before and downloaded from the headlines on the website. There was a blond man, a brown-haired man, and the blond-haired man was holding the brown-haired man's waist , the latter pressed on the former, and propped up his body slightly. Anyone who looked at it felt that the brown-haired man was going to kiss the blond-haired man in the next second.

Alex's makeup artist also stopped at this moment, and Katie couldn't help leaning over to look at the screen, and finally swallowed the words "this is so sweet".

And Alex couldn't help but roll his eyes: "Listen, I don't know how the paparazzi got these damn pictures, but it was actually because I bit Steve the other day, and then he got so mad that he just He wanted to beat me up, but he provoked me first, of course, Captain America is not as good as you imagined, he is a villain, a man should punch me openly, what kind of hero is he who takes off my pants and beats my ass?"

Owen raised his hand expressionlessly: "One question—first of all, why did you bite Steve?"

"..." Alex opened his mouth, and then he couldn't answer anything, he just said angrily, "I'm willing, what's the matter?"

Owen shrugged: "In short, you have to thank Amanda..." After working with Alex for so many years, although his PR team also knew from the beginning that their employer might not be so straight, but so quickly Announcing Alex's sexual orientation, or leaving people with a predetermined impression, will have a great impact on Alex's future career.

Fortunately, they changed their public relations strategy in time, and other aspects have not changed much, such as Alex's popularity, dedication, studious, positive and optimistic, etc., but compared to Alex's previous "clean and pure ", the team began to brew a lot of scandals about Alex, but they didn't go too far, and only left his fans with "Sure enough, such a handsome man is somewhat romantic, he can't be an obedient card". Let Alex have some night activities, especially after working with Leonardo, Alex can always be seen at the former party.

Of course, there are also some extreme young fans who think that Leonardo led Alex badly, but most fans still accept it well, so thank Amanda for their "playful" attitude towards Alex The long-term foreshadowing of the image, and the fact that Captain America is a hero who will not make people suspicious no matter how upright he is, so this time the ambiguous beach photos came out, and there was no big trouble.

"It's just that we can't go on like this..." Owen looked at Alex. After all, the latter only went to those parties to drink a few drinks and gossip with people. It will still attract suspicion from the media, "So how did you think about my proposal last time?"

"If Samantha agrees, I have no objection." Alex has already touched up his makeup, and some staff members have asked him to come to the scene, so he patted Owen on the shoulder and gave him a "hand in hand." I'll handle it for you" expression, and led Jerry to the set set.

The second part of "The Twilight Saga" has started, and Alex also joined the set last week. Before he joined the set, other actors had already filmed a lot of shots. This time, Fengfeng is all about making a lot of money. One stroke, a great adaptation of the original work, and they spent a lot of time convincing Mel, the result was obviously successful, and the change of the plot made many new actors added, these new actors are Made up a lot of shots to start shooting.

Among them, Ellie's role as the heroine has been greatly weakened, because to put it cruelly, people who want to come to the second part want to see Alex the most, and she is the same as Alec in the first part. The heroine, who has hardly sparked any sparks, may become irrelevant, and it has to be admitted that Ellie's engagement to her boyfriend six months ago is also the reason for this result.

So without Ellie, there must be someone else who will be in charge of sparking the relationship with the leading actor, serving the female audience of the movie, so Summit invited another popular actress, Samantha Pei pause.

Of course Alex has heard of this name. It can be said that this year is particularly eye-catching in Hollywood. Peyton is British and graduated from Cambridge. Her parents are also in the entertainment industry. Her father is a very famous director. Mother is a stage actress, so she came to Hollywood with the title of Bafta's Best Newcomer Award.And the two low-budget literary films she starred in last year also achieved good box office. With her own hard work and the resources brought by her family, she can be said to be the new generation most favored by the media.

Of course, in addition to these, the reason why Samantha still keeps the topic is that she often has some individual speeches, one of which was related to Alex, because after she confirmed that she would star in the Twilight series, some media pointed to her bitterly. Asking questions, I think she is too contrived, after all, she has been acting in literary films before, but suddenly decided to act in commercial films, is it because of the popularity and box office brought by commercial films, and Samantha just asked the reporter Asked back: "Do you dare to ask this question in front of Alex?"

Obviously, Samantha's experience is very similar to Alex's, but no media dares to ask such a question in front of Alex, that is, seeing that she is a newcomer and is still in the stage of being bullied.Afterwards, the media person who was questioned, wrote an article without grace and began to criticize Samantha. As people expected, Samantha reposted this article and responded at the same time, but only a simple a word "interesting"

After that, the label of personality came to Samantha.Alex, on the other hand, appreciates the former's personality very much, and then going back to what Owen said before, his proposal is that Alex and Samantha need to cooperate to form a fake couple, of course, after the movie is released Within half a year, the two could break up peacefully, but Alex thought that Samantha would reject such hype, but he didn't expect the latter to agree so readily.

However, these details can be discussed in a short time. Alex is mainly rushing to shoot his scenes. After all, his cooperation with Weinstein will start soon. There is some collision in time, so Alex can only The filming of him staying in the Twilight crew was compressed to two months. Although the director was a little dissatisfied with Alex's behavior, but watching the former on the set, almost every scene was an excellent performance, these dissatisfaction is also true. Gradually disappeared, and the director also knew that this kind of movie really didn't need Alex to pay more, as long as he achieved his own passing line, it was already the best for others.

And people also know the reason why Alex is rushing to shoot, but they only know that Alex is going to cooperate with Weinstein in a literary film, what kind of film is it, who is the director, and the actors in the opposite film Who is it again?These are not very clear.

And Alex did not say that he deliberately concealed these things. When the time comes to start the publicity in advance, the announcement will be known to everyone, but no one, including Harvey, would have expected that this information would be advanced in this way. exposed to the public eye.

Alex rushed to participate in an event, and then came back overnight for filming, so he was asleep almost all the way, but when he arrived on the set, he found that everyone looked at him a little strangely, as if too much A little sympathetic look.

"Hey, what happened?" Alex asks, during a break at the end of a scene, next to Tyler, who plays the werewolf.

Taylor scratched his head: "Haven't you read today's report?"

"You know—my cell phone always has trouble getting a signal here, and you guys don't seem to want to tell me all this. What, is that the report that I will go crazy? It must be, or I will When I turn around, I have to settle accounts with you, and the eyes that secretly looked at me for you made me very annoyed..." Alex waved his fist pretending to be fierce, and then when Taylor was teased by him, he hooked Taylor's face in displeasure. neck.

"Hey - let go, okay, I have to apologize, it's our fault, I was too careful, I almost forgot that you are already full, if you are not bullied, you will cry and call your father's age..."

"Yes, and you are still at the age where you can beat people down with your hands. Hey, stop talking nonsense, let me see what it is?"

After Jerry carried a computer over with a sad face and opened the webpage, and the webpage loaded slowly, and Alex also finished messing with Taylor, he stretched his neck and leaned over to look at the screen. After quickly browsing through the bold headlines, Alex frowned involuntarily and cursed in a low voice: "what the hell——"
