Because of its low latitude and coastal location, the climate in Los Angeles is much warmer than that in Chicago.
Facing the warm sea breeze, the motorcade quickly arrived in Hollywood.
Although Peter and Brad had already prepared the hotel in advance, it was still early and it was not meal time, so Josie and the others planned to visit the two companies first.
Although Hollywood has become famous in this era, it is still far behind compared with the future. The famous Avenue of Stars has not yet appeared - it was only established in 1958. This is an opportunity for Josie. As long as he mentions
Come out, this kind of idea that can obviously increase the popularity, the Hollywood city government has no reason to reject it.
The group of people actually went to Rose Pictures, but they came out not long after, because as mentioned before, this is just a leather company, with nothing actually there except an office space.
As a landlord, Brad is also a little embarrassed, but this cannot be changed by his former puppet energy.
But there are a lot of agency contracts for girls... Not to mention, the quality of each one is very high, and those photos... are really artistic!
"It's pretty, isn't it?" In the car, looking at the witness looking at Josie looking through a pile of photos and documents, Margot beside her finally couldn't help but pinch him several times.
"Hehe, aren't I just picking and choosing if there are any good seedlings worth cultivating?" Qiao Xi hurriedly apologized with a smile.
Margot rolled her eyes and said that I believe you. If I hadn't read the two scripts you wrote, you are indeed quite conscious. How could I believe that you, a little guy who has never been exposed to the film industry, can do anything?
tricks.
Yes, the main reason why Margot trusted Josie so much was because Josie had produced several scripts in advance and let Margot read them, which she found very interesting.
Of course, although it is said to be basic, it is actually more like a plot outline.
After all, Qiao Xi is indeed not a movie maker and cannot write scripts.
But he can write novels!
In my spare time from work in my previous life, I also followed the trend and wrote some online articles. Although the writing may not be very good, the specific storyline can still be explained clearly.
And although there are no computers these days, there are typewriters, so it doesn't take much time to make a story outline.
When the time comes, it will be handed over to a professional screenwriter to revise it, and it will be almost done.
Anyway, the movies of this era are still relatively rough in all aspects, and the dialogues are also very thin. As long as the actors can perform well and the stories are attractive, the movies can basically make money.
Soon, they arrived at Siegel Films.
Compared with Rose Business, the situation of Siegel Pictures is much better. Although the scale is not large, it is a sparrow. Although it is small, it has all the internal organs.
However, when heading to the general manager's office, the group heard a quarrel.
"What's going on?" Josie couldn't help but frowned when she heard the sound.
"Oh, he is a somewhat famous star, because after the death of his previous boss Siegel, he has been clamoring to terminate the contract!" After listening to a few words, the manager Pete understood what was going on and immediately replied.
"Oh? This company actually has a celebrity? What's his name?" Qiao Xi asked in surprise.
Whitney Frost? Hearing this name, Josie couldn't help but look at Margot.
They really didn't expect that she was actually a famous actress. They met each other once at the United Labor Organization party last year, that is, the time Captain America was there.
I didn't expect that the other party would be an actor from Siegel Films.
"Does she have a long contract with the company?" Qiao Xi asked curiously. Actors' contracts these days are usually signed directly with the film company. Although the agency system has also appeared, it is not as good as the large-scale contracts of later generations.
Brokerage companies, today's brokerage companies have no say at all when facing film companies because there are too few platforms.
"It's not a long time, there are still three years." Peter replied.
"Three years is not a long time, what? Our company is not treating her well?" Qiao Xi asked.
"That's not true. Although our company didn't have many movies in the past, she was still considered our top star, and her treatment was no worse than that of some first-line stars. It's just that after Siegel's death, the company received less support...
"Peter explained.
"Oh, then there's nothing more to say, let's just keep it official!" After hearing Peter's explanation, Josie nodded and said nothing more, let alone anything to ask her to terminate the contract directly.
Although the other party is well-known, in the final analysis, no matter how famous you are, you are just a money-making tool for the company and cannot change the world.
Moreover, the relationship between the two parties is not too deep, it is just a casual relationship.
So Josie won't take her too seriously.
But then, he saw the embarrassment on Peter's face.
"What? What's the problem?" Josie looked at him and asked.
"It's like this, Mr. Kahn, the reason why this woman dares to make trouble is actually because she recently got close to a big business man, who is not easy to mess with!" Peter leaned closer and whispered.
"Business big shot? Who?" Qiao Xi frowned.
"Calvin Chadwick! The boss of Iseldam Energy Group!" Peter whispered the other party's name.
Like Whitney Frost, Josie didn't have much impression of the name Calvin Chadwick. Mainly because although she had watched most of the Marvel movies in her previous life, she didn't know much about the name Calvin Chadwick.
I have never watched the spin-off series, so I don’t know what these two names mean.
But Qiao Xi had heard of Iseldan Energy.
First, after Plane Trader communicated with Yuri, a technology tycoon, the energy industry was already on Qiao Xi's future development plan list, so naturally he needed to have some understanding of the related energy industry in the United States.
Aseldam Energy is one of the major energy groups in the United States today. It controls the power supply of many large cities in the United States, such as New York and Los Angeles, and is quite powerful.
Another reason is that this company is one of the participating companies in the ongoing Manhattan Project.
Of course, the Manhattan Project was secret.
However, when investigating the energy industry in the United States, Josie discovered that many energy groups were involved in a project called the Manhattan Project Area in Tennessee. As a time traveler, it was difficult for him not to think of the famous Manhattan Project.
Go up.
No wonder Peter found this matter difficult to handle.
If this actress really falls in love with the boss of such a company, it can indeed be said that she has become a phoenix.
