250 Rookie Assistant
Standing next to the luggage tray in the airport lobby, Renli picked up his luggage and greeted Felicity, Drake and others, "Then I'll leave first. 8 o'clock tomorrow morning? In the studio?"
Drake nodded and expressed his affirmation, then pointed to his voice, as if saying: I still have a lot to say, but I can't say it. This made Lan Li laugh, waved at everyone, and then turned and left.
After getting off the plane, Lanli saw a text message from Andy, saying that she had sent someone to the airport to pick him up and told him not to leave the airport with the crew, and to leave alone in a low-key manner, and not to deliberately attract the attention of others.
Lan Li pressed down on the baseball cap on her head, and walked in the crowd calmly, with a white T-shirt and dark blue ripped jeans, a pair of black Nike running shoes under her feet, and a sky blue denim jacket in her hand. She did not deliberately hide herself, but did not raise her chest in a high profile, as if she was just an ordinary college student.
In fact, Lanli believes that the effects of Toronto and Telluride are still in the process of fermenting, and Los Angeles is the base camp of actors. People are even more accustomed to actors coming and going. There are not many people who can recognize him now. However, since Andy explained that there must be a reason for this, Lanli still simply blocked it.
Lan Li has limited experience in how to deal with the encirclement of enthusiastic fans, but he knows that if he wears a hat and sunglasses, or if he is too exaggerated to cover up and dress up, it will be more likely to attract attention. Ordinary but low-key normal attitude, people will not deliberately look at it, which is safest. After all, it is hidden in the city.
His eyes were slowly searching the crowd, looking for his pick-up partner. But unexpectedly, he did not see a sign with his name in the crowd. Instead, he saw many signs of hotels coming to pick up tour groups, and there were many Asian faces. Could it be that the pick-up person had not arrived at the airport yet?
Lan Li stopped and looked around carefully. Then he saw a familiar back, his white and fat side face, like a perfect steamed bun. A dark blue shirt looked a little loose, and he could vaguely see his slightly fat figure. The round eyebrows made him look kind-eyed, but with a hint of bookish spirit. The image of a nerd who was not good at socializing in high school but always greeted people with a smile. At this time, he grabbed a sandwich with both hands and was struggling.
He tried to clear the packaging outside the sandwich, but the paper sandwiched under the crunching nest kept falling down. Then the beanitary sauce inside the sandwich began to slide down again, and accidentally dipped it in his hand. This made him extremely embarrassed and he began to try to pull out the napkin wrapped outside. After he moved, the documents under his arm spread out and were in danger.
"May I ask, do you need help?" Lanli walked to the side and asked friendly.
"Oh, no, I'm fine, I mean, thank you for your kindness, I..." He said in a panic, the words were very short, but the words were filled with a kind of thanks. He tried to save everything in a hurry, but the paper under his arm fell off, and Lan Li took the opportunity to collect the falling documents into his palm, "Thank you, thank you. God, I'm really clumsy, Oh, my god!"
After all, Minoz fell down and let out a depressed wail, but he quickly recovered his attention, "Sorry, please give me some trouble. Just leave this to me, I can handle it. Don't worry, I will wipe it clean." He raised his head, stretched out his hands to take the documents, but it appeared that Renli put the documents in front of him, then turned around, and turned the side with the words towards him.
"I think the name on it should be me."
A gentle voice sounded, Nathan Pres' body stiffened for a moment, then raised his head quickly, and the handsome face came into his eyes. He let out a depressed growl. It's over, it's bad, it's messed up, "Mr. Hall, I..."
"If I remember correctly, this should be our second meeting, Nathan Pres?" Lanley pulled out the napkin from Nathan's hand, then covered the beauty in Nathan's hand, signaled the paper in his hand, looked around, and the passengers around him didn't care about the small accident here at all, and there were still people coming and going, "So, are you working for Andy Rogers now? I remember, last time you were fired by Fisher, didn't you?"
Nathan, Fisher Morgan's assistant and William Morris's top agent, made a month and a half ago, he made a special trip to pick up the plane at Los Angeles International Airport and then took Renly to meet Fisher. However, Renly refused Fisher, and Fisher fired Nathan.
Unexpectedly, when we met again, we were still at the airport and picked up the plane.
"Yes, yes." Nathan was so excited that he couldn't speak. He and Lanli had only met once. Lanli not only remembered the situation of their meeting, but also his name. This was incredible for Nathan! At the beginning, Fisher spent ten days remembering his name.
"I mean, I found a job at the Innovation Artist Agency and was assigned to Mr. Rogers." Nathan explained in the simplest words, "God, work, work, I have a special task today. I came to pick it up!" Nathan reacted, before he could raise his voice, he lowered it and said in a whisper.
The deliberate posture seemed a little weird, which made Lan Li laugh and raised the paper with the name written in her hand, indicating that she already knew it.
Nathan smiled foolishly and paused for about two seconds, "By the way, the car is parked in the parking lot next to it. There is no parking here, so we need to walk here and arrive in five minutes." Nathan looked around and looked for Lanley's luggage, but then he realized that he was still holding a sandwich in his hand.
Nathan almost ran to the trash can next to him, threw the sandwich in, wiped his hands with a napkin, ran over again, and took the initiative to take Renli's luggage, "Please." Walking in front of him, his irritable appearance seemed to be no different from the first meeting, which really made Renli laugh.
"Sorry for my misconduct just now." Nathan knew that he was too unemployed just now. Not only did he missed the time to pick up the plane, but he almost missed the person he picked up the plane.
In fact, it was his lunch and he didn't eat breakfast, and he had some hypoglycemia. He just wanted to take a few bites before Renli appeared. But unexpectedly, he was hit by a man inadvertently. Although it was not a big deal, he suddenly became in a hurry.
However, Nathan did not explain. Fisher hated others' explanation the most before, because any explanation was just an excuse for failure.
"It seems I interrupted your lunch." Lanley did not jump to the conclusion easily. The plane arrived at the airport ten minutes earlier than expected, and his luggage came out faster than expected, Felicity, Drake and others were still waiting. Unexpectedly, it was impossible to predict where the destination is now? If time had time, we could stop on the side of the road and order some fries and burgers."
As a country on the wheel, there are fast food restaurants in various cities and roads in the United States. You can drive by directly and complete the entire process of ordering, paying and picking up food.
Nathan turned his head and glanced at Lan Li, and then saw the faint smile on the corner of Lan Li's mouth, which reminded him of the last meeting. If Lan Li hadn't been to Lan Li, he might have been thrown by the highway and was at a loss.
"West Hollywood." Nathan retracted his gaze and came to the parking lot. He found his car today, a black SUV, one of the most common and common vehicles in Los Angeles. You can feel Andy's caution.
Nathan was a little busy and didn't know what to do first. Lan Li said with a smile, "You should put your luggage next to the rear door, open the door of the passenger seat for me first, wait for me to get in the car, and then solve the luggage problem, and finally return to the driver's seat. If this is a hotel, the driver has a job for the driver, and the doorman has a job for the doorman, the rest is your job."
Since childhood, Lanley has seen Philip do such actions countless times, so he naturally can't understand it.
"Oh, oh." Nathan quickly followed the instructions and began to get busy in an orderly manner.
Nathan's movements were cautious and focused. It can be seen that he was indeed inexperienced. His frizzy movements seemed to be shortly after graduating from college. Although his appearance seemed to be about thirty years old; however, after guidance, he adapted quickly.
This is in line with Renly's first impression of Nathan's first meeting. Unfortunately, in Hollywood, the competition is too fierce. A top agent like Fisher has no time to slowly cultivate it. Once something goes wrong, it will be eliminated immediately.
In Hollywood in the 1970s, William Morris's agency was a well-deserved leader. They established industry rules. Before anyone officially changed his job and became a broker, he had to work in the email room for three to six months or even one year. The class system was very rigorous, which also made the brokers and assistants both skilled in business.
However, it also restricted the development of young people, and the rigidity and contradictions brought about by class are inevitable. Five young people left the company because they were dissatisfied with William Morris' rigid system and joined forces to create their own brokerage company. This was the later innovative artist brokerage company.
There are gains and losses, and we have won a virtuous cycle of rapid development, and at the same time we have lost the patience to polish basic business capabilities.
After getting into the driver's seat, Nathan confirmed Lanley's seat belt and then activated the engine, "We went to West Hollywood, and Andy rented a room for you to make it easier for you to go in and out of the film next time."
"Oh? Why don't you continue to live in a hotel?" Lan Li raised her eyebrows and asked curiously.8
