The Farmers Market (Famers.Market), located between Beverly Avenue and West Third Street, was established in 1934. It was an idea that a group of farmers came up with during the Great Depression. They concentrated the fresh fruit and vegetable crops in their farms here and sold them directly to nearby people at low prices. After decades of development, the stalls gradually expanded, and then with the decline of this area, the market gradually lost its livelihood value and developed into a tourist area.

Due to the complex population here, it forms a casual and comfortable market feature, with a rural flavor but exotic style. The boutiques, restaurants, jewelry stores, and cinemas are dazzling. The warmth and comfort of the traditional market are a unique and beautiful scenery. Of course, no one will forget the toast, sponge cakes and golden shortbread cookies that are made here, making the entire market full of approachable hustle and bustle.

It was only fifteen minutes to arrive at the Farmers Market when Joseph looked around and soon found the destination, "There is Knott's.Berry." The crew made an appointment to meet at the restaurant next to the main entrance of the Farmers Market, and the two rushed over.

It took Joseph a while to find the parking space. After parking the car, Hugo aimed at the rearview mirror and tidied up his collar. Joseph said with a little concern, "Are you sure this really okay?"

Hugo was very calm, "I'm fine, really." After tidying up his clothes, Hugo opened the car door and walked down, stood in the parking lot, spread his hands and faced Joseph, "Look, isn't this a good feeling?"

Since Hugo didn't have time to open the box, he finally got Alex's help and came to the audition in Alex's outfit - this is also why he asked about Hugo's height and weight. Now Hugo is wearing a blue tennis shirt, light blue jeans, and a navy baseball jacket on the outside, which looks youthful and energetic, but the calm color and matching do not appear too casual.

Joseph was still a little worried. It would be awful to attend such an audition without formal clothing, but he didn't even wear a shirt, which really made people unable to feel at ease.

Hugo seemed to notice Joseph's inner struggle. He smiled and turned to Noth's Berry Restaurant, saying, "You asked me to come here for an interview in a shirt. Don't talk about how the interviewer felt. I guess I was uncomfortable all over, right?"

The Farmer Market is originally a traditional market, and you can even see many plaid shirts or work pants in farm dresses. But Norte's Berries is a very famous chicken restaurant. When you come in formal clothes, you will feel a little out of place. In this way, Hugo's outfit is actually very consistent with the theme, not too casual or too formal.

Joseph nodded. Anyway, he had no choice but to regret it now. He locked the door and pointed to the direction of the restaurant, "Let's go."

It was only six o'clock in the afternoon, and there was still some distance to dinner time. Not many people came to eat, but there were still scattered people coming in and out at the door. Joseph suddenly pulled Hugo's arm and whispered, "The competitor is here."

Hugo looked forward along Joseph's gaze and saw two people stopping at the restaurant door. One of the men in suits and ties had two separate parts from the surrounding environment, just like wearing leather shoes, which made people laugh. This was a strange face; but Hugo recognized the other person, Brad Pitt.

Today Brad was wearing a light blue shirt without a tie. The three buttons on the top of the shirt were dispersed, hanging lazily and casually, allowing people to vaguely see his healthy wheat-colored chest. Although he was also wearing a formal shirt and trousers, his casual and unruly temperament had a strange sense of fit with the surrounding environment, and it did not seem too abrupt.

When Hugo saw Brad, his first reaction was: "Dahe Love" was completed. He thought he would take a while to shoot. After all, "Dahe Love" had to go to Montana for shooting, which was much more complicated than "Smelling the fragrance and knowing women".

The second reaction was that the enemy was narrow and he actually competed after the "Dahe Love".

Brad and another man, standing at the door, just paused for a moment. The man smiled at Joseph, saying hello, but the smile seemed condescending, and then the two of them entered the restaurant directly.

Then Joseph whispered in Hugo's ear, "That's Brad's agent, Martin Baum, one of the five founders of the innovative artist brokerage company."

Hugo immediately understood. No wonder Martin looked at Joseph with a superior look, because he had this capital. Not to mention that compared with Joseph, even Lang Meyer was one senior behind in front of Martin.

The origin of American brokerage companies was William Morris Brokerage Company founded in 1898. They laid the foundation for the entire brokerage industry. However, in 1975, five young brokers in William Morris Brokerage Company who had not yet made a name for themselves were quite dissatisfied with the seniority system of brokers in the company, so they came out to start a new company together. These five young people relied on $21,000 in deposits, $36,000 in loans, and two cars, and established the company with a hard neck. This is today's innovative artist brokerage company, and Martin Baum was one of the five young people at the beginning.

The Innovation Artist Brokerage Company and the International Innovation Management Company were both established in 1975, and are now ranked among the three top brokerage companies in the United States, so both have always been competitors and partners. Today, Martin took Brad to take over the role of "Yihai Shengfeng" and is coming with great force.

After Joseph explained, he suddenly remembered something and his face darkened. "Tom Cruise is also an artist under the Innovative Artist Agency." It seems that Martin must be determined. The transfer of work within the company is normal. Tom, who is in full swing, is unwilling to take it, so he will be replaced by Brad from the same company. This is really a perfect connection.

But Hugo didn't look so nervous, "How do you know they are not a competition within the company?"

There is competition wherever there are people, and this is the truth. Even in the same company, there must be competition among brokers, just like between Joseph and Long. What if Tom and Brad's agents also compete? Then today's Brad's chance of winning is not only not as great as expected, but may also be blocked by Tom's agents.

Joseph knew that he was too nervous. Although what Hugo said might not be correct, the audition is about to begin now, and no matter how much worry is, it is useless. It is like the "Dahe Love" audition. Even if you know it is doomed to fail, you must at least try your best to see it.

Although Hugo did not show up on the surface, he was still nervous inside.

Although Hugo seems to have many opportunities recently, in essence, before the official release of "Smelling the Scent of the Scent" was basically the same as Hugo's attitude towards Hugo, which means that today's audition difficulty is not weaker than the previous two times. Now, with the competition from Tom and Brad, Hugo is even more at a disadvantage. This is another opportunity that Hugo faces after traveling through time, but it is exponentially difficult. Therefore, it is impossible for Hugo to be not nervous.

After taking a deep breath, Hugo took a hard step and walked towards the restaurant side by side with Joseph. After entering the restaurant, Joseph began to scan the entire space of the restaurant. The environment here is similar to a family restaurant, and the atmosphere seems relatively relaxed. Although there are not many people eating now, you can still clearly feel the low noise that keeps heating the air.

"Sir, how many people do you guys?" the receptionist standing at the door asked politely.

"I've made an appointment, Mr. Reiner." Joseph said, and the receptionist lowered his head and confirmed it, then raised his head and smiled, "Please come with me."

The receptionist took Joseph and Hugo through the restaurant, and finally stopped in front of a long table. This was a long table that could accommodate eight people. At this time, three people were already sitting in the seat. Seeing someone coming, the three of them stood up politely. The white-bearded old man sitting at the end of the long table laughed, "Welcome, welcome."

Standing opposite, there were naturally Brad and Martin who had just entered, and the old man with sparse hair but a white beard was naturally director Robert Reiner.

Hugo couldn't help but keep his eyes on Robert. The old man who started out but became famous as a director was filming directors such as "When Harry Meets Sally", "Misery", "Bucket.List", and "Flipped". These works are films that Hugo loves very much. Although Robert is not as famous as many commercial directors, he can always tap into extraordinary spirits in ordinary people and touch people's hearts. He is indeed a very outstanding director.

Not long ago, the director Martin Bleist, who co-starred in Hugo, had only two outstanding works in his directorial career. "Smelling the Scent and Knowing Women" was the pinnacle, and the "Beverly.Hills.Cop" launched in 1984 - this movie maintained a box office history record of R-rated movies in North America for 25 years, and was not broken by "The Hangover" until 2009.

But Robert Reiner is obviously even better. His works have continued from the 1980s to the second decade of the 21st century, and have maintained a very outstanding creative level. They can be called a very capable director.
