From Taoist Priest to Best Actor

Chapter 18

Xie Yi looked at Arthur, who suddenly smiled inexplicably. He was a little confused, but he was sure that Arthur was exceptionally good-looking when he smiled.

There were always some people who had some characteristics that were particularly infectious. Just like how some people were particularly infectious when they cried, Arthur's smile was equally infectious. Even his temperament changed greatly when he smiled. If Arthur was said to have an unrestrained temperament when he didn't smile, then Arthur unexpectedly had a warm feeling when he smiled.

Xie Yi was a little surprised by this. Could it be that a person could change so much?

However, even if he was curious, Xie Yi still quietly followed Arthur's words and sat in the chair opposite Arthur's table.

"You don't have to be polite with me. I can tell you for sure that I absolutely have the ability to be your agent!

So, what do you want? "Arthur looked at Xie Yi.

"Yes." Xie Yi didn't hesitate at all and said concisely.

"What did you say?" Arthur said with some disbelief. It was that simple?

He didn't even use his arguments to convince Xie Yi, and Xie Yi just agreed to him so straightforwardly?

There was no sense of accomplishment at all!

"I said yes. I can let you be my agent." Xie Yi really thought that Arthur didn't hear him clearly before, so he repeated it.

The reason why he made such a straightforward decision was that Arthur was introduced to him by Peter. He believed that Peter wouldn't harm him. Secondly, he didn't like trouble, and finding a suitable agent was undoubtedly a more troublesome matter. Therefore, he was quite satisfied with the person in front of him. Instead of spending more effort to find a new agent, it was better to have him.

It had to be said that Xie Yi's straightforwardness left a deep impression on Arthur. The impression was that he was simple-minded.

Usually, would someone agree to sign a contract without asking a single question or mentioning any conditions?

Moreover, it was such an important agent contract.

Did he believe in him unconditionally?

Or was it because he was stupid?

Arthur believed that it was the latter.

Thinking of this, Arthur unconsciously rubbed his temples. Did he make this decision a little too early? Everyone said that one should not judge a book by its cover. In the end, he still committed this taboo.

Thinking of this, Arthur looked at Xie Yi again and suddenly felt that he was not wrong. After all, even if the person in front of him was a little silly, it could not hide his great beauty!

Fortunately, Xie Yi didn't know about Arthur's thoughts. Otherwise, if Xie Yi knew that Arthur thought of him like this, he would definitely teach Arthur an unforgettable lesson.

However, because they didn't know each other's thoughts, the atmosphere was still very harmonious.

"Here is a contract. You can take a look at it." Arthur took out a contract from the drawer and handed it to Xie Yi.

"Most of the agents in Hollywood are mainly between 10% and 15%. In the contract I gave you, the agent's commission is 10% and the time limit is seven years. It can be said to be very generous for a newcomer. After all, you are still so young. But you can rest assured that this contract can be changed at any time according to your status in Hollywood, so you don't have to worry." Arthur explained to Xie Yi.

"So, if you have any questions, it's not too late now." Arthur looked at Xie Yi and raised his eyebrows and asked after he put down the contract.

"No, this is fine." Xie Yi picked up the signature pen on the side and wrote his name casually, then looked up at Arthur.

"Very good, now we are on the same side." Arthur smiled slightly.

"By the way, where are you going later?" Arthur looked at Xie Yi.

"If there is nothing here, then I will naturally go home." Xie Yi looked at Arthur with some surprise, very strange that he asked this question.

"Oh, okay!

I just want to say that I will go back with you. Yes, I will go to your house. "Seeing the surprise in Xie Yi's eyes, Arthur said affirmatively.

"Why?" Hearing Arthur's words, Xie Yi asked with a frown.

"Because I am your agent!" Arthur replied confidently.

"As your agent, I naturally have to get to know you well, and then I can plan the next acting road for you, right?" Arthur asked.

"Well, can we go now?" Xie Yi compromised after listening to Arthur's words.

"I'm afraid not yet."

Arthur glanced at the documents on the table and looked at Xie Yi helplessly. He had not finished his work today.

Following Arthur's gaze, Xie Yi also saw the pile of documents on the table. Xie Yi understood in his heart. No wonder Arthur's eyes were tired. It seems that being an agent is not an easy job.

"Then I will wait for you."

Seeing Arthur's work, Xie Yi was a little considerate. After all, he is now his agent.

"Well, there are a few magazines on the sofa next to you. If you are bored, you can look through them." Arthur talked about work as if he changed into a different person, pointing to the sofa next to Xie Yi.

"I will finish as soon as possible!"

However, even though Arthur sped up his work, by the time he was done, it was already evening.

"Sorry, I made you wait for a long time!

There is a lot of work today. "Arthur looked at all the documents that had been processed and said to Xie Yi apologetically.

"It's okay."

Xie Yi shook his head. There was no difference between here and at home. Anyway, he could practice anywhere. It would not delay him.

"It's already six o 'clock. Let's go eat first!" Arthur heard Xie Yi's answer and looked at his watch.

"Okay." Xie Yi put down the magazine in his hand and stood up.

"Ugh, are you wearing this?

I mean, you wore this when you came. "Arthur put on his coat and was ready to leave, only to find that Xie Yi was only wearing a suit.

When Xie Yi came in, he didn't pay attention to what Xie Yi was wearing. There was air conditioning in the room, so he didn't feel that there was anything wrong with Xie Yi's clothes. Just when he was about to leave, he found that Xie Yi was wearing too thin.

Although male stars generally wore a suit, on this day, except for attending some awards ceremonies or premieres, who would really only wear a suit?

Hearing Arthur's words, Xie Yi looked down at the clothes on his body and then looked at Arthur who was wearing a thick coat next to him. Xie Yi suddenly realized that he forgot to cover up again.

Of course, he wasn't cold, but others didn't know about it.

"It's not cold at noon. I forgot to wear it." Xie Yi thought about it and still felt that this explanation was more reasonable.

"You're too careless. Luckily, I have a few spare clothes here. I remember there's one that should fit you." With that, Arthur walked to the lounge in the office.

"Here, we're about the same height. I haven't worn this, you can wear it!

You have to remember that as an artist, you have to take care of your body. Otherwise, getting sick will delay a lot of things. "

After a while, Arthur took out a black woolen coat from the lounge and handed it to Xie Yi.

"Thank you, Mr. Ovitz." Xie Yi took the coat from Arthur and thanked him.

"Why are you still calling me Mr. Ovitz?

This makes us seem distant. We're partners, you can just call me Arthur. "Arthur heard Xie Yi and corrected him.

"Okay, Arthur, let's go!" Xie Yi changed his words after putting on the coat.

"What do you want to eat?

French food, Italian food, or Japanese food? "Arthur turned his head and asked Xie Yi as he drove.

"Anything is fine, you can choose!"

Xie Yi said faintly. Actually, he didn't like any of the three, so it didn't matter to him what he ate.

"Okay then. I remember that there's a new Japanese restaurant on the street up ahead. Let's go take a look?" Arthur asked.

"Okay."

"Hi, Arthur."

Arthur and Xie Yi had just walked into the restaurant when they heard a friendly greeting from the side.

"It's you, George. Long time no see!" Arthur went up and shook George's hand.

"What have you been up to recently?

Why haven't I seen you around? "Arthur asked.

"You know, Leo has been studying in school recently, so I'm free. I've been in Hawaii before."

George saw Xie Yi beside Arthur early in the morning. Now that he was free, he asked curiously, "Is this your new artist?"

One had to know that Arthur had always been the focus of the Hollywood agent community because of his father. Now that he had joined the group, he was even more popular.

After all, whether it was his face, tall and slender body, which was comparable to a Hollywood star's, or his unexpected and varied management methods, they were all too eye-catching.

Everyone was waiting to see if he would surpass his father, or if he would be completely annihilated by his father's halo.

In fact, with Arthur's qualifications, if he had chosen the path of an actor or model, it would have been smooth sailing. After all, he was handsome, and with his father's connections, it would be strange if he didn't become popular. But unexpectedly, he chose the path that was the most difficult for him to achieve results. After all, with his father in front of him, it was really difficult for Arthur to surpass him.

But also because of this, George admired Arthur. So in CAA, the two of them were both senior agents and had a good relationship.

"Yes, this is the new artist I just signed. His name is Allen." Arthur glanced at Xie Yi and then said to George.

"This is my colleague George. You may not know him, but you're familiar with the star he's managing." Arthur smiled and introduced him to Xie Yi.

Seeing the doubt in Xie Yi's eyes, Arthur smiled and said, "The star he's managing is Leonardo Dicaprio, who is currently in the limelight in Hollywood."

Understanding Arthur's meaning, Xie Yi stepped forward and greeted George. "Hello, I'm Alan Rodriguez. Nice to meet you."

"Hello, you can call me George. You're very handsome!" George looked at Xie Yi and praised sincerely.

To be honest, the appearance of the person in front of him was as perfect as if it was personally created by the hand of God. Anyone who saw it couldn't help but feel a blow to their heart.

Thinking of this, George couldn't help but glance at Arthur. This person was really amazing when he didn't make a sound.

He believed that with Arthur's strength and Allen's appearance, he could make Allen a Hollywood superstar. If Allen had some acting skills, maybe he could go one step further?
