Chapter 63 Etheldan Energy

  Because of the low latitude and the coast, the climate of Los Angeles is much warmer than that of Chicago.

   Facing the warm sea breeze, the team soon arrived in Hollywood.

  Although Pete and Brad have prepared the hotel in advance, it is still early and it is not time for meals, so Josie and the others still plan to go to the two companies to have a look first.

Although Hollywood is well-known in this era, compared with the future, it is still far behind. The famous Avenue of Stars has not yet appeared-it was established in 1958. This is an opportunity for Josie, as long as he proposes , this kind of idea that can obviously increase the popularity, the Hollywood city government has no reason to reject it.

   A group of people actually went to Rose Films, but they came out after a while, because as I said before, this is a leather bag company, except for an office space, it actually has nothing.

   As a landlord, Brad is also a little embarrassed, but this is not something his former puppet manager can change.

   But there are a lot of girls' agency contracts...not to mention, all of them are of high quality, and those photos...are really artistic!

   "It looks good, isn't it?" In the car, looking at Josie who was carefully flipping through a pile of photos, Margot finally couldn't hold back and pinched him several times.

   "Hey, I'm not picking and choosing, is there any good seedlings worth cultivating!" Josie hurriedly apologized with a smile.

Margot rolled her eyes, saying that I believed in your evil. If I hadn't read the two scripts you wrote, I would have been quite conscious. The devil would believe that you, a little guy who has never been in the film industry, can do anything patterns.

  That's right, the main reason why Margot trusted Josie so much was because Josie had prepared a few scripts in advance for Margot to read, which she found very interesting.

  Of course, it’s basic, but it’s actually more like a plot outline.

   After all, Josie is indeed not a movie player, and he doesn't know how to write scripts.

   But he can write novels!

   In my previous life, I followed suit in my spare time at work and wrote some web articles. Although the writing may not be very good, the specific storyline can still be explained clearly.

  Although there is no computer these days, but there is a typewriter, and it doesn't take much time to get the outline of the story.

   When the time comes, it will be handed over to a professional screenwriter to make changes, and it will be almost the same.

  Anyway, the movies of this era are actually relatively rough in all aspects, and the dialogue is also very thin. As long as the actors perform well and the stories are attractive, the movies produced can basically make money.

   Soon, they arrived at Siegel Pictures again.

  Compared to the rose business, the situation of Siegel Pictures is much better. Although the scale is not large, it belongs to the sparrow, although it is small, it has all internal organs.

   But when they went to the general manager's office, the group heard a quarrel.

   "What's the situation?" Josie frowned when she heard the sound.

   "Oh, he is a well-known star, because after the death of the 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 replied immediately.

   "Oh? There are stars in this company? What's their name?" Josie 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 well-known actress. They met each other once at the United Labor Organization's party last year, which was the time when Captain America was there.

   Didn't expect that the other party would be an actor from Siegel Pictures.

"Is her contract with the company very long?" Josie asked curiously. These days, actors' contracts are generally signed directly with film companies. Although the agent system has also appeared, compared to those large-scale Brokerage companies, the current brokerage companies have no right to speak when facing film companies, because there are too few platforms.

   "It's not very long, there are still three years." Pete replied.

   "Three years, it's not long, what? Our company treats her badly?" Josie asked.

"That's not true. Although our company didn't have many movies in the past, she was considered our top card, and her treatment was no worse than that of some first-line stars. It's just that after Siegel died, the company could get fewer resources..." Pete explained.

   "Oh, then there's nothing to say, just do business!" After listening to Pete's explanation, Josie nodded and said nothing, let alone say anything to make her terminate the contract directly.

  Although the other party is famous, in the final analysis, no matter how famous you are, it is just a money-making tool for the company and cannot turn the sky.

  And the two sides don't have a deep relationship, it's just a one-sided relationship.

  So Josie won't take her too seriously.

  But immediately, he saw the embarrassment on Pete'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 fell in love with a big business man, who is not easy to mess with!" Pete leaned closer and whispered.

   "Business big man? Who?" Josie frowned.

   "Calvin Chadwick! The boss of Etherdan Energy Group!" Pete whispered the other party's name.

Like Whitney Frost, Josie doesn't have much impression of the name Calvin Chadwick, mainly because although he has watched most of the Marvel movies in his previous life, he is like Agent Carter. I haven't watched the spin-off series, so I don't know what the two names mean.

  But Josie has heard of Etheldan Energy.

  One reason is that after the Plane Trader communicated with Yuri, a tech giant, the energy industry was already on the list of Josie’s future development plans, so it is natural to have some understanding of the energy industry related to the United States.

  Ethelden Energy is one of the largest 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 its strength is quite strong.

  Another reason is because this company is one of the participating companies in the ongoing Manhattan Project.

   Of course, the Manhattan Project was secret.

But when investigating the energy industry in the United States, Josie found that many energy groups were involved in a project called the Manhattan Engineering District in Tennessee. As a time traveler, it was hard not to think of the famous Manhattan Project. go up.

   It's no wonder that Pete feels that this matter is 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 by flying on a branch.
