"Mr. Edward, can the company advance me two weeks' salary? I already owe the landlord two months' rent." Meng Lu whispered.
There was a hint of pleading in his eyes.
Edward had just seen the apartment where Monroe lived. It only had one room and a bathroom, and there were very few furnitures in the room. It was obvious that they lived in poverty.
"It's troublesome to get a salary advance from the company. How about this? I'll lend you $200 privately. You can pay me back after you get your salary."
Edward took out his wallet, took out two hundred dollars and handed it to Monroe.
Menglu happily took the money and said, "Thank you, Mr. Edward. I will return it to you as soon as I get my salary."
Edward nodded and said goodbye to Menglu.
When I got in the car, I looked at the contract in my hand. Since I became the president of HD, these small matters were handled by my subordinates.
The reason why he came to see Meng Lu in person today was entirely because of his boss. He knew his boss very well. If the boss was not someone he particularly valued, he would never call him in person to give instructions.
Since the boss has given the order, I must do it well. No matter my identity, although I am the president of HD now, that is in the eyes of outsiders. In front of the boss, I am just a worker. If I can't do the boss's job well, what's the point of having him?
He came here in person for fear of any mistakes.
He was originally a manager of a brokerage company and is very familiar with contracts.
However, although the boss asked him to sign a contract with Monroe, he did not give Monroe a particularly generous contract, but only the most ordinary C-level contract for newcomers.
What he had to do was to trap her. Only the boss could show favor, and he had to leave space for the boss to play with the cat.
If a good person lets me do the job, then how can the boss play? If the boss annoys me, then my good days will be over.
There was another small reason why he came here in person.
Maybe this woman will become the boss's bedmate in the future. He knows the power of pillow talk. Coming here in person can help him build a good relationship with Meng Lu in advance, which will also be good for himself.
However.
I have to say that the boss has a really good vision.
At first glance, Monroe is a sexy stunner with a sweet face and a hot body. She has a small frame and flesh in the right places. She has the body that countless girls dream of.
With her pretty face, she looks like a ripe peach.
......
Auditions continue.
ABC TV broadcasts audition shows every day.
As soon as this program was released, it attracted the attention of audiences across the United States. Ordinary people pursuing their dreams have the opportunity to become big stars. This is the most perfect American dream.
As soon as Super Idol came out, the TV station's ratings skyrocketed.
As soon as 8:30 in the evening, everyone turns to ABC TV. According to a survey conducted by a research company, the current ratings of the show "Super Idol" have reached a terrifying 90%, which is higher than when "My Fair Wife" was at its peak.
The other two TV stations had just begun to emerge, but were suppressed again. Even the recently popular TV series "Vampires & Werewolves" saw a sharp drop in ratings, forcing Columbia Television to change its strategy and move the TV series to after the end of "American Idol" to avoid its limelight.
Of course, seeing how popular the talent show was, the two networks also became interested, but after checking, they found that ABC had already registered the copyright.
ABC rarely makes mistakes in this regard.
Even if they come up with a new model and bypass ABC's copyright, it would be difficult to produce such a large-scale talent show and would require a huge investment of money.
In order to increase the length of the programs, they have already invested a lot and produced a number of programs similar to ABC. Now they want to produce a large-scale talent show and invest a large sum of money again, which is not easy to get approved by the board of directors.
You can't make money without investing.
But sometimes even if you invest, you may not make money.
The two TV stations are entangled.
And even if we invest a large sum of money now to catch up with ABC, who knows what new ideas they will come up with next.
I will never catch up.
......
The TV station began to produce segments on the contestants' daily lives.
The handsome young man Elvis Presley is still a junior high school student. The walls of his home are covered with posters of the most famous singers in the United States.
Presley was very lively and introduced his family. His parents were farm workers and he had a younger brother and sister. He attended a choir class when he was a child and then fell in love with singing.
At the end of the show, he sat under a tree and sang to his younger brother and sister. The two little guys seemed to be often tortured by their brother in this way. They ran away after listening to only a few sentences. Elvis showed a helpless expression to the camera.
The girl who said she was there to see the stars, Shania Twain, came from a wealthy family. Her father was a businessman and her mother was a university teacher. She received music education since she was a child and could play the piano and many other musical instruments. She was a typical princess.
She is currently attending college, studying performance at the University of Southern California. Her future dream is to become a famous actor or singer.
The life of the mom player Patsy Cline is exactly the opposite of Shania Twain's life. Patsy Cline has an ordinary appearance and an out-of-shape figure. She is just an ordinary housewife.
And for some reason she got divorced and lived alone with an 8-year-old daughter. She worked as a female worker in a garment factory and rented a house. After deducting rent and other expenses, there was almost nothing left from her monthly salary. After working a day, there was still a lot of housework waiting for her when she got home, and she was very tired every day.
Her only hobby is listening to the radio.
This is also the most valuable thing in their home.
She learned all her songs from the radio. She didn't know how to use her breathing or voice, she just imitated.
I have to say that she is extremely talented. Even with this most primitive method, she can sing the song so beautifully.
Patsy Cline stood on a dirt slope, singing her favorite song. There was only one audience member below, her daughter. Her dream was simple: to be able to perform on a real big stage one day.
Patsy Cline's story instantly touched many people.
After playing a few more finalists, the last one was Monroe.
The camera moved around Monroe's room, and it was obvious that the room was extremely simple. Monroe got dressed and went to where she worked today, a photography studio, where she worked as a photo model for others.
When putting on makeup, Monroe put a mole on her face. When asked by reporters why she did it, Monroe smiled and said, "Sometimes imperfections are the most beautiful."
At the request of the photographer, she kept changing clothes and posing in various postures, either sexy or cute, and occasionally she would smile sweetly at the camera.
The shoot is over.
She received her pay of $5 for the day.
Menglu was very happy to get the money and said to the camera: "It's not every day that I get such a job opportunity. This is the second job I got this week."
It was already evening when Menglu returned home. As soon as she opened the door of her apartment, the bald landlord came out and said to her, "Menglu, you already owe two months' rent."
Meng Lu pleaded, "Mr. Landlord, please give me another week. If the Super Idol audition is unsuccessful, I will find a more stable job and I will definitely pay you back the rent then."
The landlord waved his hands and said, "Then I wish you success."
After saying that, he stepped back.
In fact, after borrowing money from Edward, Monroe had already rented the house to the bald landlord, and this time she was just filming the scenes that needed designing.
I am very happy to be on TV, it can be considered as a friendly appearance.
Back in the room, Menglu took out the bread jam and put a little jam between two slices of bread. This was her dinner.
"Is this enough?" the host asked.
"I'm losing weight." Meng Lu said with a smile.
But many people feel that this sweet smile is a little sad.
Sleep at night.
Menglu changed into pajamas, revealing her curvy and sexy figure. She is really the kind of woman who would inspire fantasies in countless men.
Menglu was lying on the bed reading a book. The camera slowly zoomed out, as if saying goodbye to her. Menglu waved at the camera.
"Good night".
Monroe has already signed the contract, and the company's designers positioned her as sexy. Her every frown and smile exudes a sexy aura, which is innate.
Commonly known as talent.
Some people are gifted with intelligence.
Some people's talent is painting.
Some people's talent is music.
And Monroe's talent is sexiness.
I wonder how many men will have nightmares this night.
......
After watching the TV show, Hardy thought for a moment and called Edward. "The program is well done. It will cultivate Monroe well. The theme of sexiness is very suitable for her. Keep going and make her a new generation of sexy actress."
"Boss, do you want to arrange for Miss Menglu to be the first place?" Edward asked.
"No, she definitely can't be ranked first based on her ability. Although Super Idol is our own show, we have to try to be fair and just so that we can build a good reputation. The top spots must be given to those with ability."
"As for Monroe~~~"
Hardy thought about it.
"You can give her a title like 'Audience's Favorite Female Singer'," said Hardy.
Edward's heart suddenly brightened.
The boss is really awesome. He didn't rank them but gave them a separate title. This neither destroyed fairness nor gave Menglu enough attention.
And this award has no basis, such as 'audience favorite'. A girl like Monroe must be liked by the audience, especially male audiences.
As expected of the boss, he can come up with such a brilliant idea so easily.
"Boss, since we have the 'Audience's Favorite Female Singer', we can also have the 'Audience's Favorite Male Singer', or the 'Best Stage Performance Singer', the 'Best Beautiful Voice Singer' and other awards," Edward said.
"Haha, you decide these yourself." Hardy said with a smile.
Hardy's subordinates are a group of smart guys. As long as they are given some advice, they can perform well freely, which makes Hardy very satisfied.
After hanging up the phone, Hardy picked up the wine glass and took a sip.
As for contact with Marilyn Monroe?
Don't worry now.
There is a long way to go.
