Kate-beckinsale tried to calm her emotions, but this was obviously not an easy task. She ran quickly along the coastline of Venice Beach, faster and faster. The lack of oxygen in her brain would make her temporarily forget those irritable things and focus on adjusting her breathing and maintaining her rhythm. However, her breathing became more and more disordered, and the restless mood made her suddenly accelerate. After destroying the rhythm of running, her breathing began to become more and more rapid, forming a vicious cycle.

Finally, Kate had to slow down, then supported his knees with both hands, bent down, gasping for breath, hot sweat flowed down his cheeks, falling on the cement road, and accumulated more and more.

After pausing the run, annoyance and anxiety once again occupied the brain. As long as she remembered the bad box office of "Van Helsing", she couldn't calm her mind down.

At the beginning of the century, she chose to leave the UK and come to the United States to develop. However, in the stage of her rapid career, the box office defeat of "Pearl Harbor" hit her hard; last year, a "Legend of the Night" finally brought her acting career back to its dawn, but as a result, "Van Helsing's poor performance once again hindered her.

Kate does not have much ambitions for her career as an actor. She always maintains a normal mind, but she has suffered consecutive setbacks and makes her life a mess. This feeling of stumbling is really frustrating. This is Hollywood, this is the real society. Not all efforts can be rewarded, and not all efforts can achieve results.

The salty sweat slid down from her eyelashes, stinging her pupils, forcing Kate to pull off the towel around her neck and start rubbing her eyes. But at this moment, a vibration came from the sports arm band tied to her arms. Kate realized that the phone was ringing. This immediately made her feel busy, and she had to close her eyes and open the arm band, take out her cell phone, answer the phone, and put it in her ears...

This series of actions seemed clumsy. First, the towel was almost lost, and then the change from the armband fell out. When she tried to open her eyes, she was stabbed by sweat. When she pressed the answer button, she almost pressed the reject button... The suppressed anger in her heart began to burn again, which made Kate grit her teeth hard. She couldn't help but start getting angry at herself.

But after answering the phone, Kate temporarily suppressed his emotions and said to the receiver with the remaining patience, "This is Kate, please say."

"Kate, it's Cole." The voice on the other end of the phone shocked Kate. This was her agent. In recent times, Cole has not contacted her for nearly a month. It seemed that the whole world had quieted down, and the forgotten panic gradually turned into pressure, which made Kate breathless. However, before Kate could breathe, Cole continued, "Are you in the city now?"

Kate had no time to respond, and then Cole continued, "Come here as soon as possible. There is an audition here. The address is Room 401, No. 21, Green Ridge Street. Remember two points, as fast as possible, dress best in formal clothes. You must pay absolute attention! I will send you a text message to confirm the specific information, what questions do you have?"

"Uh... not yet." Kate's brain was obviously lacking in oxygen. He felt that he could not keep up with Cole's rhythm at all. He could only barely nod and agreed. Then Cole hung up the phone directly. Obviously, the situation was very urgent.

Standing there, Kate's chest was still rising and falling rapidly, his slow brain was stunned, and finally came to his senses: she had received an audition again! Moreover, Cole's tone was not only very cautious, but also emphasized the importance again, even more solemn than the "Pearl Harbor" audition, which made Kate's heart beat wildly - but this time it was no longer irritable, but excited.

Looking back, there was an endless sea behind him. Kate suddenly became confused and stood there. He didn't know what to write. After a few seconds, he realized that he turned around and ran towards Monica Avenue. It was never easy to find a free taxi on the streets of Los Angeles. Most of the time he had to call for an appointment. But this time, Kate ran out less than a hundred yards and saw a taxi stopping on the side of the road, and a passenger just got off.

Kate ran over quickly, but she didn't expect that as soon as she ran to the door, another business man in a well-suited suit also walked to the door. Kate's speed was even half a step slowing down, which made her feel embarrassed. Out of politeness, she should have backed up and made concessions, but the situation was urgent at this time and she didn't care about these things.

Just as she was hesitating, the man showed a polite smile, and his green eyes were like a quiet and mysterious lake in the Rockies. Then the man took a step back and signaled her to get on the bus first. Kate had no time to be polite, so he could only nod to the other party, "Thank you, thank you very much." After that, he got on the bus quickly, reported his address to the driver, and the taxi started again soon.

Kate let out a long breath and relaxed a little. After thinking for a while, he turned around and looked behind him. The man still retreated back to the side of the road, stood in place with his body straight, took out a box of cigarettes from his pocket, blocked the lighter with his right hand in the raging sea breeze, and lit the cigarettes. The slender knuckles appeared and disappeared in the storm of the smoke... Then, the taxi turned around and entered the St. Monica Avenue, where nothing could be seen.

Go home, fight and shower, change clothes, go out again, take a taxi, and arrive at Green Ridge Street.

When Kate stood in the elevator of an office building, her messy brain finally calmed down. In fact, she still knew nothing about the upcoming audition at this time. She didn't know who she was going to face, which work she was participating in, nor what role she was going to audition... The lack of information made her a little nervous, and her career has been repeatedly blocked in recent times, which made her feel unsure. She had to clench her fists secretly and cheer herself up, "You can do it, you can do it!"

The elevator opened and Kate took a deep breath. Although forty minutes had passed since Cole's call, the passing of time made her almost no time to calm down and think, and she could only adapt to the situation. However, after walking out of the elevator, Kate was stunned. She almost thought she had come to the wrong place.

The corridor in front of me was messy, piled up with various packaging boxes and plastic foam, which looked like a construction site. The office on the left was empty and there was nothing, which was completely absurd appearance after the fraud company was investigated; the one on the right was bustling, with people coming and going, but the busy scene was a typical new company being renovated.

Is this the audition venue? Even the dark and humid stage dressing room in the West End of London is far more reliable than it seems.

Kate took out his cell phone and confirmed Cole's text message again. The address and floor were not wrong. So what was going on? At this time, a worker came over with a big box and threw it into the corridor. Kate hurriedly walked forward, "Good afternoon, is this Chaos Pictures?"

"Yes, go in and turn left." The worker seemed to be accustomed to this, and answered skillfully, and then walked in first. When he walked to the door, the worker turned around and saw Kate standing there. He whistled, attracted Kate's attention, and turned his head, "Your companion is there."

Kate said "Thank you" loudly, and then walked over quickly. Walking into the door, the office that was gradually forming appeared in front of him. The sunlight penetrated a whole glass wall and sprinkled down without any obstacles, full of vitality. When he looked to the left, he found a small group of people standing next to him, all of whom were acquaintances.

"Hey, Kate, you're here too." The bald man standing in front of the door said hello first, which immediately made Kate's heart hanging in the air fall back into her chest - at least she didn't find the wrong place.

"Jason!" Kate quickly walked up, nodded and said hello to Jason Statham, and then stood beside Jeremy Renner and Neil McDonough greeted each other, and then was stunned. The combination was really unexpected, making Kate a little confused.

Jason is Kate's British fellow, and has starred in works such as "Two Big Blows" and "Fate Express". He is an action actor who has performed well in recent years. Last year, he played a small supporting role in "Stealing the Sky and Change the Day" and made his first appearance in Hollywood; Jeremy is a newcomer, not even a third-tier actor. The "Counter-Terrorism SWAT team" that worked with Colin Farrell last year also had mediocre results; Neil has been active on the small screen of the TV series and even planned to give up his acting career for a while. Later, Cole won him the audition opportunity of "Brothers Company", which made him successful. He was able to collaborate with Tom Cruise on the "Minority Report" the year before yesterday.

First of all, they are all artists under Cole, which is beyond doubt; but none of the four of them have achieved great success in their careers, and they often appear in action movies.

"Is this an action commercial blockbuster?" Kate couldn't help but ask curiously. As a result, the three of them thought about it seriously and nodded suddenly. This made Kate look at the three people speechlessly, "Really? Are you kidding, right?" She just guessed casually, and the clues were really obvious, and the three of them had never guessed before.

Jason scratched his bald head, "We know nothing, we'll wait here after we've come here." Then he looked around at the busy people around him, and he couldn't help but lower his voice, "I doubt if this is a fraud company, and I feel that everything is wrong."

Before he could finish this, Jason immediately shut up and looked elsewhere as if nothing had happened. Neil and Jeremy hurriedly left their eyes.

Kate turned around and saw a man with a cold air all over his body standing behind them. His cold face raised his eyebrows slightly, and even without saying a word, he conveyed a sarcastic message of "You must be joking", which made Kate avoid his sight awkwardly.
