Having been in Los Angeles for so long, how could he not know the common tricks they use to pick up girls or cheat people out of money? Of course, there were also stars who were discovered on the streets, but he didn't believe it was such a coincidence that he met a so-called "scout" as soon as he arrived.
Besides, it's a film company I've never heard of, and I feel that this middle-aged man doesn't look like a good person at all.
"I've never seen a director recruiting people on the street. In addition to this business card, do you have anything to prove your identity? Where is the company address? What is the name of the project?"
Worried that she was inexperienced and might be cheated by others, Han Chudong resisted the urge to punch her in the face and asked with a stern face.
"'Super Girl Detective', the company is located in Burbank, and you want me to take you there?"
Fred Cagney was not so polite when speaking to Han Chudong, and there was obviously a hint of hostility in his voice. There are many film, radio and television companies in Burbank, which is in the northeast of Los Angeles, some distance away from the Walk of Fame.
After choking Han Chudong, he continued to show what he considered to be a friendly smile and said to Miss Bergman:
"If you're suitable, you can audition today. I'll give you a deposit of $30,000 at the beginning, and another $70,000 after the filming. That's a full $100,000! You can buy a nice house near Beverly Hills. I also know the bosses of big movie companies like MGM and Columbia, and I can make you a star in the future.
How about we chat in private, in a cafe? As for your friend... Sorry, some information about the script cannot be leaked."
If she wasn't sure just now that this guy was a liar, Han Chudong was almost certain now.
Using money to lure people and using fame as bait seems to be a good strategy.
If a girl is not smart enough but has ambitions, she might fall into the trap and let herself be manipulated for the sake of illusory desires.
Han Chudong was extremely unhappy with this guy, but after thinking about it, he was no longer in a hurry.
It is said that human hearts cannot withstand temptation, but at this time he wanted to know what choice Miss Bergman would make. The man in front of him clearly wanted her to leave him and talk to Miss Bergman alone in private.
The choice that goes straight to your heart is right in front of you.
Han Chudong didn't know her very well as they had only just met for a short time. Any choice Miss Bergman made would affect his perception, which could be good or bad.
If she really chose to leave with the other party, there would probably not be much further development.
A dilemma lies before us.
On one side was the opportunity to become famous that he had longed for, and which would bring him a good income, and on the other side was Han Chudong, a person he had only met a few times.
Han Chudong kept silent.
Miss Bergman hesitated for a moment, glanced at Han Chudong, and finally said, "Sorry, can you give me some time to think about it? I'm still a student, and I don't have any thoughts or time for that at the moment."
After saying that, he waved the business card and wanted to move on.
Seeing that the duck at his mouth was about to fly away, Fred Cagney immediately asked, "Can you give me your phone number? I'll think about it for a while. How about I call you tonight?"
Han Chudong suddenly felt relieved.
At this moment, intentionally or unintentionally, she blocked him in front of him, raised the corners of her mouth, and said in a low voice: "My father works in the FBI. Do you want me to give him a business card? I will talk to you in the evening. Get out of here right now. I don't want to see you again, and I don't want you to contact her again, otherwise..."
The situation these days is very tense, and there are always dark clouds.
In the FBI, the biggest dark cloud is called Hoover. He just passed away in May last year, but people still have deep fear of this organization.
McCarthyism disappeared on the surface, but actually went underground, so that people had no good feelings towards these organizations at all, but instead felt worried and fearful.
Cagney smiled stiffly, thinking that he had actually run into a tough guy. He didn't dare to say anything more and immediately turned around and left.
Knowing that this kind of person only bullies the weak and fears the strong, Han Chudong brought out a big Buddha out of thin air. After solving this not-so-small trouble, he walked a few steps quickly to Miss Bergman and said, "Let's go. I told him that my father works in the police station and he ran away. What a liar. Just throw away the business card.
What's so difficult about wanting to act in a movie? The stories in my head are enough for you to win ten Oscars for Best Actress. I suggest you learn more for now. It's not difficult to become an outstanding star with your looks. You just lack acting skills."
If I had said this before, Miss Bergman would have laughed.
But now she seemed to be worried about something. She nodded but didn't say anything. Her good mood for traveling seemed to be gone all of a sudden. Han Chudong couldn't help but look at her a few more times, but he couldn't figure out the crux of the problem for a while.
Whether it's the Walk of Fame or the Hollywood Sign, the fame outweighs the actual experience, and there's not much to do.
Feeling a bit bored, Han Chudong suggested, "Let's go to Disneyland now. We still have time to get there."
"No, just take me home. I suddenly feel a little uncomfortable." Miss Bergman shook her head and said.
Noticing something unusual, Han Chudong asked curiously, "What's wrong? Want to find a store to rest for a while?"
"No, I just... Never mind, go home today, I still have homework to finish."
What a bad excuse. He had clearly said that he had finished his homework last night.
Han Chudong couldn't force her to stay, so he had to agree and they got back in the car and walked back.
He is quite thoughtful.
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
After more than ten minutes, he roughly guessed what he had done wrong, which caused Miss Bergman to suddenly feel depressed.
While driving, he said after thinking about his words: "I admit that I didn't refuse for you just now because I wanted to see how you would make a decision. It's a very asshole thing to do, right? I'm sorry, I should have been more determined to stop that guy."
Han Chudong underestimated Miss Bergman's delicate thoughts.
Miss Bergman also did not expect that Han Chudong actually knew why she was unhappy. She couldn't help but feel a little surprised at this moment. She always thought that men did not understand women at all.
After a moment's hesitation, he said, "What a jerk! What would you have done if I had agreed to meet him alone and ignored your advice?"
"I?"
This time Han Chudong told the truth: "He will probably get angry enough to leave, but before that I will continue to try to expose his true colors and do what I should do. Men know men very well. When we first met, I felt that he was not a good person."
"What you should do?" Miss Bergman didn't understand what this meant.
Han Chudong shrugged and added, "No one wants to see a beautiful girl being picked up by someone else, and I am the same. But if you are really stupid enough to fall for it, what can I do?"
"Shouldn't you be more resolute?"
"That's something couples do, but there's still something missing between us. We don't know each other well enough, right? If I were more resolute, you might think I'm ruining your chance to become famous."
"... Could it be that even geniuses think about such details? I'm not that kind of stupid woman. I've seen similar cases in the newspapers. A girl was defrauded of a large sum of money, saying that it was for investment in filming and making her the heroine."
After Miss Bergman finished speaking, Han Chudong said, "Just think of it as you praising me. By the way, you are smarter than I thought. I shouldn't have tested your attitude. It's my fault."
"Thank you, you are very smart too."
The topic was opened up and Miss Bergman felt much better after the conversation.
Gradually showing a smile, she took the initiative to ask: "Are there any other attractions nearby?"
A business card flew out of the car window and was crushed by the vehicle after landing.
Han Chudong saw this and said to Miss Bergman, “We can turn around now and go swimming at Santa Monica Beach. Swimsuits should be available near the beach.
Also, I am serious about the movie idea I just mentioned. After you finish learning acting, I will tailor a movie for you. By then, I should have earned enough money to make a movie..."
