Chapter 236 Preparations for the Olympics 2
Jake was very fond of movies and also always wanted to act if given the opportunity, of course, he preferred many things before acting, but after suffering the accident that left him unable to walk in his past life and lose his mother, acting was one of few things Jake thought he could do.
But that didn’t change the fact that he enjoyed acting and even trained for many years in his past life, so he had an easier ti recording comrcials that didn’t require a skill.
Besides, it looked like this Miami beach party would have so Hollywood stars, as Jake had nothing to do It wasn’t a bad idea to et maybe so of his idols.
Jake had been invited by Caron Crowe a Hollywood director who in addition to acting also wrote, Jake vaguely rembered him but was glad to have been invited no matter what the director wanted.
In fact, since Jake hardly ever left ho if it wasn’t for training or going to his mom’s restaurant or school, besides, wherever he went it was by car, so Jake didn’t know he was famous all over the country.
And that was even more so for Miami who always had Eric and other reporters talking about him, when Jake was younger he was just a very talented child, but in recent years he has recorded three television comrcials and still appeared after coming to the first few two major marathon placents and tests for the Olympics this year.
Besides, Jake was very handso and his friends even joked that he looked like a Hollywood actor, so it was impossible that he was not recognized, so it was appropriate for him to co to this party even more with the director’s invitation.
So after two days, Jake went to the party, he was wearing a suit he had bought a few months as soon as he got the money from Matthew’s company, after all, soone with millions of dollars in the bank account not having a decent suit was a disgrace.
Jake also thought of buying a better car, but eventually gave up on this idea, after all, he had his car less than a year and buying another was unnecessary, after all, no one knew that Jake was rich yet and an athlete usually did not earn much.
When Jake left ho with the sa suit Eva thought her son was very handso, even more so than her husband from whom Jake inherited so of his looks, she was proud of her son being so and was glad Lola didn’t see Jake in suit, otherwise, she would fall in love with him forever.
Jake ca to the taxi party and when he entered the party everyone looked at Jake at least once, the won looked over and over and sotis didn’t even look away from him, Jake had arrived very early at the party so just stood in one corner from the hall and waited for others to arrive.
Jake, who was very shy with people he didn’t know, felt a little lost in such an environnt, even though it was a party, in fact, it looked more like a cocktail party where the music was just for accompanint and the waiters carried trays everywhere.
Even though he was invited by director Crowe, Jake didn’t really know what he was like despite knowing him by na, so Jake would have to wait until the director ca to him while he waited. Jake tried to find soone famous at the party.
After all that was what he ca to the party for, unfortunately, it didn’t look like anyone famous had arrived at the party yet, thinking that it was normal for the most famous to arrive later at this party.
After a few minutes Jake had understood the purpose of this party, he had heard that many people here were directors and filmmakers and also had so business owners as well as young actors and actresses who were looking for an opportunity to beco famous.
Jake wasn’t interested in any of this, if he really wanted to he could beco well known for being a director or writer of dozens of movies over the next 20 years just using his knowledge of the future.
But Jake thought that could be a lot of dishonesty, especially since he didn’t need it and could get rich just by making the right investnts in the stock market, but he wouldn’t mind playing in so of these very successful movies.
Thinking about it he rembered that Titanic had started production now, it would be very nice if he could participate in a movie like this, it was impossible for him now because he could not spend several months shooting.
After a few more minutes Jake was having fun even though he didn’t talk to anyone, many won here were interested in him, but most were married or were accompanying soone.
The young actresses were also more concerned with pleasing so producers and directors than talking to Jake even though he was handso, so lucky for him that he wanted to be alone as soon as soone ca near him with a glass of champagne in his hands.
"Not many beautiful won here? But these are not good places to et soone, these won are often much more tempted by interests than by people."
Jake looked at the man who approached him, and just nodded and then looked away, this man was young and didn’t look ten years older than Jake, so Jake thought he might be the director.
"I’m glad you ca with my invitation."
"I appreciate the invitation, Director Crowe."
"I saw you that day when you were shooting those comrcials, even though it wasn’t very complicated scenes, I was impressed that you did everything at once."
"As you said the scenes themselves weren’t that complicated, and I have a good mory not to forget the little details."
"This is another good quality for an actor, with your looks you could be successful in Hollywood, too bad you chose the sport, with your talent I think you have no interest in anything else."
"That’s not true, I really love sports and basketball besides running in marathons right now, but I still do other things and think about doing even more if it can fit my schedule."
That’s what Jake thought, he would do anything that interested as long as he had ti for it, after all, he had priorities too, basketball was the most important and deserved prominence in his agenda for example.
But Jake knew that there could always be opportunities to do sothing else, only when he entered the NBA that he wouldn’t have ti to do anything else, before that he wanted to take any opportunity he had.
Director Crowe was happy to hear Jake say that if Jake had an interest in the cinema everything could be arranged, even if a director couldn’t make the entire movie shooting schedule around an unknown actor so scenes would not be a problem.
"This year are you competing for the Olympics?"
"Yes, I qualified to run the marathon, I plan to bring another gold dal to our country."
"After that, you’ll be much more famous than now."
"I don’t know about that, nowadays nobody rembers many athletes who won important dals for our country, so I just want to do my part."
"But you can still get famous for playing basketball, can’t you?"
"If I win, I will be known for it, this year our team won the national championship, now I’ll see if I can win at university too."
Headmaster Crowe nodded in agreent, he knew Jake was gifted by what he saw on sports television, so it seed like it was really worth inviting a talent like that to work with him.
If Jake really got a gold dal in the Olympics would be a big promotion for his movie, after all, it was directly sports-related, and he saw that Jake was talented and good looking, so he saw only advantages for that.
"I called you here Jake because I think you’re very talented and can be a hit in Hollywood, unfortunately, I don’t have any characters in a movie of mine for you to play in the near future."
"But this year we will release a movie that has sothing to do with sports, so I would like to invite you to make a cao with so scenes."
"What is the na of the film?"
"The na of the movie is Jerry Maguire, it’s a movie that tells the story of a sports agent who after a while gets tired of dishonesty in the sports business and decides to have fewer clients to be more efficient..."
Then director Crowe kept talking about the movie with great enthusiasm, but Jake didn’t listen to anything else because he knew the story of the movie well and had even watched it several tis, It was a movie that he liked a lot and was very successful critically and also at the box office.
"So what do you think?"
"I accept if I have a role that needs a test to try I am willing too, after all, I am playing few various sports, a while ago I played quarterback on the school football team for a friendly."
"If it was another year I would call you, but unfortunately this year you have to participate in the Olympics and so we would have less ti to film if you weren’t available with a bigger role, but if you get the chance I’ll talk to you."
Jake understood that well, he was just excited, it was hard for him who had no acting experience to play a major role in an important movie like this one. Jake knew well that actors played a key role in the film’s end result.
After a while, Tom Cruise showed up at the party and Jake cheered up and went along with the director to greet one of his idols, after all, he knew that Tom Cruise played the main character of the movie that director Crowe invited him to.
The director also went along with Jake when he saw that the person who had arrived was Tom Cruise, so the director introduced Jake to Tom Cruise and Jake had to control himself not to ask for an autograph, after all, he would just embarrass the director by doing so.
After Jake stayed a little longer at the party and left, he was wondering if he could really get a chance to participate in such a big movie, after all even if the director invited him it was hard to know if the director couldn’t change his mind.
When he returned ho late at night and told Eva who he t his mother reprimanded him for not asking her for an autograph.
