It's okay. Adjani is staying at ASK,
and I'm hunting Nathalie Baye.

How are things with Dubosc?

My GPS says he's 200m away.

I'm on the set. I have to find
the Community Center and we're good.

Don't mess it up this time.

You already lost Mimie Mathy,
we can't afford to lose Franck Dubosc.

We can't afford anything!

Don't worry...

He wanted to be in an arthouse film,

he'll to be in a great mood!

I can't take it anymore. I've had it.

You've had it?

With what?

Do you know what it means?

Did you expect to teach me about life?

What do you know about life?

You don't know anything, piece of shit.

Cut! That was fabulous.

Awesome.

"Piece of shit" wasn't in the script.

It was brilliant. Let's change the set

while I rewrite the next scene!

Dylan, come with me.

Let's change the shot...

Well done. Really. That was amazing.

Oh... thanks. That's nice.

I'm Gabriel Sarda. I'm an agent with ASK.

Samuel's assistant?

That was a long time ago.

I've been a senior agent
for ten years now. In fact...

I came to talk
about your future with ASK...

ASK or some other place.

I was close with Mathias.

Mathias and me are the same.

We're like brothers!

As a matter of fact, I was the one
who suggested this role for you.

So you're responsible for this mess?

It's not going well?

It is,
but it's the worst shoot of my life.

..."Bro," as they say around here.
Careful.

I don't have a clue what I'm doing.

The director rewrites scenes
every two seconds...

Sometimes we don't say our lines,
we stay silent.

She even shot a scene with her phone.

Franck, it's awesome, it's starting
to have some groove. I'm digging it!

But something's not right.

You know when...

When you...

- When I "act"?
- Yeah, that's it.

So if you could act... less.

Otherwise it was great.

She said that otherwise it's great.
That's positive.

Franck! I get
that it can be unsettling, I do!

But it's worth it. Listen, you're shooting
with a director who was vision.

And there's the kid, Dylan Charif.
He got the César for best emergent actor.

- It must be inspiring.
- Oh, yes.

Very inspiring. Yeah!

He's convinced
he's the future of French cinema.

So what am I to him?

Well. I'm an old has-been
who shoots films in his Speedos.

He ridicules me all day long,
I can't stand it.

I mean... Enough of this shit.

It's... I've had enough.

To think I believed Mathias when he said,

"A turning point in your career."
"Oh, yeah."

He's right, he is. It's worth it.

This could be your Tchao Pantin.

Well, if this keeps up, it's going to be
"Ciao, goodbye." There.

I'm not cut out for arthouse films.

I don't belong here. This was a mistake.

Hey! "No one waits for Patrick?"

Right.

I think it's time to bail out...

of this film and ASK.

Antoine. Any messages?

Yes, tons. Here, this is for you.

- This is for you.
- Thanks, Benjamin, bye.

Benjamin who? Biolay?

He's thinking it over.

He really liked Mathias.

Speed-up his grieving process
by blaming Mathias.

We didn't fire him,
he abandoned his clients!

And if he's too sad, he can write a song!

The Dujardin contract.

- We have another problem.
- What?

Mathias's actors want senior agents.
They don't take Hervé and me seriously.

You don't take yourselves seriously.
Put out more confidence.

Like trying to get into a club as a minor.

The first time I got into a nightclub,
I was 26.

Unbelievable. What a clown.

If there's a snag, set up meetings
with Arlette, Gabriel or me.

I said no!

I have a meeting at 11 am and a full week.

Are you deaf?

Going to be tough.

No kidding, I already had four coffees
with four different clients.

Hey! Honk, honk! Oh, never mind.

Forget the fifth.

At what time does rush hour end?

- It eases up around 11 am.
- Okay.

How did your meetings go?

Well, my meetings went...

like this, this, and this.

Awesome!

- The grand slam!
- Yeah!

I also have good news.

- Sofia nailed her audition with Luchini.
- Cool.

Who's on Cluzet?

Excuse me. Hello?

- Bérénice...
- Arlette!

- Yes?
- Are you taking care of Cluzet?

I'm sorry.

Cluzet, Cluzet, Cluzet.

Where is Cluzet? There he is.

Cluzet is not anymore. There.

What time is it?

I have to run, Balasko's waiting.

Le Splendid are like oysters:
they come in half-dozens.

You get one, you get them all!

What happened with Cluzet?

He no longer wants an agent.
He's compartmentalizing.

He's got a shrink and a lawyer.

Okay. And Dany Boon, how's that going?

Shooting in New York.
He only talks to family.

Yes, but we have to find a solution.

We can't afford to lose him.
We might as well close shop.

I can't take it anymore.

My son will never come back.
But you're still here.

I don't have time.

Is that in the text?

No, that's me talking.

I don't have time. I'm really busy.

What I'm doing here is called work.

I'm working too.
But I'm not working with you.

My agent offers me auditions, I answer.

I already know the scene.
It's like my life story being told here.

I'll say some cool stuff,
the director will dig it.

And you'll struggle, as usual.

And that's it, end of the day. All right?

Hey, Dylan.

I'm Gabriel Sarda, agent with ASK.

No, thanks. I already have one.

So I imagine.

I wanted to talk to you about Franck.

You know, Franck is an experienced actor.

He's old as fuck.

I mean, in your words, perhaps. But...

It's not easy for him.

You're in...

You're in your environment.
It's tailor-made for you, but not for him.

He's old as fuck. We agree.

Do you know Télérama?

- Yes.
- It's pretty dope, right?

I guess.

- Cool.
- Why?

They want me on the cover.

That's great. Congratulations.

Thanks.

- As I was saying.
- Shit.

Hello?

Yeah. What's up?

- Hello!
- Hello.

Hello.

Ta-da!

I brought you a plant.

I know, it isn't really your thing,

but it renews the air and brings serenity.

Plus, I'll be the one watering it anyway.

I mean, wow.

This is the perfect place to work,
Mr. Producer.

Calm, serenity, maximum concentration.

The only thing
that can distract me is you.

Sitting at the desk opposite.

We're sharing the office?

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God!

You're no longer my assistant,
but my development manager.

And I want you close on each case.

Of course, Mr. Producer,

I'm your development manager.

I can already picture the day
of the development manager!

9 am. Meeting with
the up-and-coming scriptwriter.

I mention in passing my favorite producer.

Noon!
Lunch with the latest Goncourt recipient

to go over
the film adaptation of his novel.

3 pm. Feedback
on a disappointing V2, "V1 had more zing!"

5 pm. Plans to see Tarantino

but I have to postpone,
I'm running late for my meeting.

I have to convince everyone to produce
the first film of some genius

because I believe in her 100%.

And 7 pm.

Finally.

We make love in our office.

What is it?
Nothing. I just thought we could

keep things quiet around the office
until we...

get settled.

Mathias, I don't want us to hide anymore.

At work or anywhere else.

I swear, we really have
to move forward on this.

Okay?

Come in!

Igor. How are you?

- Settled in?
- It's perfect.

Do you remember Noémie?

Why, of course, how are you?

I am delighted, Mr. de Serisy.

I'm so excited
about the task that lies ahead.

I'm thrilled.
As you can see, I thought of you,

I had screenplays brought up for you.

It's perfect.

You can write summaries.

Summaries?

Yes. Short ones. Like book reports.

Usually, Justine, my assistant, does this

but she's swamped at the moment.
Do you mind?

- No, no.
- Good.

And congratulations.

Well done for Beauvois!

Nice catch.

I saw an opening.

Wonderful. Wonderful.

Next time, just give me
a head's-up first. Okay?

I'll leave you to it.

And check your email.

I sent you a brief for a negotiation.

Perfect. With whom?

It's good for Nathalie Baye, tomorrow.

Great! You set up the meeting in a café?

She can't see this mess.

Why don't we ask Mathias
to tell his clients to stay with ASK?

No reason to pull dirty tricks.

Certainly not! I don't trust your father,
he's a bad egg.

We can't ask him for anything.

About what?

Why are you here?

Don't you have a meeting
regarding Sofia and Luchini?

That's right.

I don't even get a coffee?

We can't. It's rush hour.

Is this a joke?

It's not my style.

Come on, Mathias.

You'd send a producer packing
with such a crappy offer.

We're talking about Fabrice Luchini.

And Sofia Leprince.

And Sofia Leprince.

Mathias. Plainly put:

either you add a zero here, here,
and everywhere else

and then you get rid
of the "absence of profit-sharing abroad".

- Or...
- Or you take it as it is.

And I don't tell Dany Boon

that I left because ASK is
an agency with no future.

That's a dirty move.

- No.
- That's Mathias.

No, that's the job.
And it's nothing personal.

You'll soon realize that running an agency
also means accepting to lose some battles.

You can't keep my clients without me.

Too many need my opinion
to make up their minds.

And, as Camille rightly said,

there's no reason to pull dirty tricks.

Hello. Ticket, please?

This morning,
I grabbed the wrong suitcases!

I'm sorry. Mother of God!

It's my first time in Paris.
I'm completely lost.

No Spanish. I don't understand.

I'll translate.
She forgot her bag with her tickets.

Yes... I never take the subway!
I detest it!

I hate it! I usually have a driver,

but it's impossible
to find one in this city!

It's a nightmare!

It's a nightmare!

No Spanish. I don't understand.

- Please!
- You understood that,

she's panicking.

- Make an effort.
- Yes, yes.

She's a tourist, be nice, let her through.

Yes, please.

- Fine, okay, go on, go, go.
- Thank you very much!

France needs it.

Miss!

You are lucky. Normally,
they don't let anyone through.

Yeah, they're usually such a pain.
Thanks for your help.

Have a good day!

Isabelle Huppert. Really?

Yeah, I can catch her between flights,
you can have one hour to do an interview.

An hour and a half on a good day.

She loved your piece
on the Bob Wilson play.

- Oh, right.
- Yeah.

I called her a "national treasure."

That's it.

Gabriel, explain this to me.

I've been telling you for months

we want her for Télérama.

- And all of a sudden...
- It's just how things worked out.

What are you planning?

Nothing. Actually, I've heard you're doing
your next cover on Dylan Charif?

You want to get him?

Oh, no, not Dylan. Franck, rather.

Dubosc?

Isn't he already working with you?

I'd really like you
to do the cover on him.

What are you talking about?

It's his first time playing in this genre.
He's very good.

He's having a legitimacy crisis,
it'd do him some good!

Hold on. We don't hand out covers
to make actors feel "good"!

Dubosc? In Télérama?

- He's terrific.
- Yeah, right.

You'll get Dylan later,
he's going to be shooting non-stop!

For Franck, it would be a validation.

Forget it. Anyway, it's not up to me.

Fabienne Pascaud decides.

Isabelle will be disappointed.

Oh, no. She thought
she'd nailed the audition!

Sorry, she wasn't Valérie's pick.

I'm telling you, she wants a face!

Someone who stands out.

Who has personality. She wants...

an Almodovar-type of character,

see what I mean? Do you?

Okay, Constance,
I'll think it over and call you back.

Is it about the Valérie Donzelli film?

She's rejecting all my actresses.
They're "too plain."

Your girls are good.

They're good, but not much relief.

Thanks for your help.

Samuel always said: "When they're not
in your file, look in the street."

Look at Jean Gabin!

No, not here! He's asleep in my office.

Search like him.

You have to sniff them out!

Track them down! You see?

Wait.

What?

- I've got it.
- What?

Well, I haven't got her yet.
But I've got it!

Thanks, Arlette! Thanks, Jean Gabin!

But...

Hey!

I'm so sorry.

No, but it's true.

- Bon appétit.
- Thank you.

That's Vincent, watch out,
when he talks, it's like a tunnel.

Hold on. Not just a tunnel
but a tunnel of bad breath.

So be careful.

Thanks for the heads-up.

We assistants have to stick together.

I'm no longer Mathias's assistant.

- You're not?
- No.

I was, during six years, at ASK.

And now I'm his Development Manager.

Really? Wow. That's great,

- congratulations.
- Thanks.

- Now, her.
- What?

She's been "fast-tracked". You get it?

Yeah.

But perhaps she's good at her job.

No. We all know what she's good at.
Nothing to do with Excel

Bon appétit, darling!

Thank you, Mr. Barneville.

How about a coffee?

No, actually, I have something to finish.
I'm sorry...

- Are you sure?
- Yeah.

No, thanks. I just...

See you later?

Mathias! What was that all about?

"My darling, blah blah blah,"
in front of Justine!

Weren't you the one
who wanted to stop hiding?

If you start doing everything I ask,
it's not going to work!

He doesn't get it!

ASK, can I help you?

I'll put her on.

Franck. Are you here to see...

What's this about with Télérama?

I don't know. I'm not aware of that.

But Télérama, that's good,
congratulations!

Don't screw around, the journalist said
he spoke with "my agent"!

You're not my agent.

And I have no desire to talk to the press
about a project I'm ready to drop! Okay?

Fuck!

You don't get it, do you?

You don't get it at all!

This movie is a great chance!

I know your problem!

You're in your comfort zone.
And you can't bear the smallest obstacle!

There it is. The truth about you.
You're terrified!

You are! I saw you rehearse with Dylan!
I saw the scene.

It was beautiful, sublime.

You could taste the desire, the sincerity.

So you can leave the agency.
You can even quit the film if you like.

Or you can hang on.

You can invest in the movie

and show everyone what you can do!

"Everyone". Who are you kidding?

Nobody cares.
All I do is embarrass myself.

Then why did Télérama
come and find me for this interview!

Maybe Télérama saw
what you refuse to see in yourself.

- Hello, Franck.
- Yes?

- Hello.
- Everything Okay?

Yeah. I'm just talking.

With my agent.

I'll leave you to it.

Call me Franck.

I just bawled out Dubosc!

There! Right!

Audrey Fleurot's bailing on us.

Shit.

Did you try bawling her out?

That's what you have to do.
That's all they understand.

How's it going?

Good. Flora wanted to tell you
about her day.

Oh, what did she do?

Andréa.

Right, the first day at daycare!
How was it?

Very productive.
She knows how to read now.

I'm sorry, things are crazy around here.

Yeah, as usual.

How about we go out
for a romantic dinner tomorrow night?

What about the baby?

We'll do what all the other parents do.

We'll call a baby-sitter.

Are we going to wait
until she's 18 to go out for a drink?

Okay, you're right.

I'll find someone.

Cool! I love you.

I love you too.

This flavor is just amazing.

I told the neighbors.

About ice cream? Isn't it going too far?

No, for the housewarming.

I did things properly too.

A note in the stairwell.

With a smiley face

and a cordial invitation to join us.

You're great.

What are you doing?

Checking the paternity recognition
procedure.

- Are you going to say yes?
- I don't know.

I had to move to Paris to be his daughter,

and now, I have to decide
if he becomes my father? Is that dumb?

No, it's not.

But you're forgetting something.

You'll become a heiress
to the Barneville empire.

No, really, I swear.

That's no small matter. Hicham bought out
your father's shares for like ten billion.

Yes, sure. At least!

That's right. I mean it!

Picture it, we could get a huge apartment.

Come on, Camille, open your eyes!

I'm sorry, excuse me.

- Can I order another coffee?
- Of course.

Have you seen Nathalie Baye?

- Nathalie Baye?
- Yeah.

- No, but Catherine Deneuve is over there.
- Really? Where?

I'm joking!

Great.

- Excuse me.
- Careful.

Nathalie, you're shooting tomorrow,
and I'm not sure

the insurance covers file accidents.

Okay, good.

Antoine, hello!

Sorry, Mathias, just a second.

The messengers line up along the counter.
You're blocking the way.

Nathalie?

You're not with Andréa?

We were supposed to meet here.

Yes, I suggested to Andréa
that the meeting take place at the agency.

You can't hear yourself speak in cafés.

Here neither, actually.

Excuse me.

- Yes. It's pretty animated.
- Coffee?

No, of course he didn't warn me!

The bastard.

Do what you have to do,
but Nathalie Baye does not walk further

- than reception!
- Your coffee!

Give it to Catherine Deneuve!

Now what's going on here?

Isn't that your old office?

Yes, it is.

I guess ASK had to sublet
the floor below after I left.

It seems they turned it
into a lawyer's office.

But this is hardly an office.

It's a "lawyers' corral"!

I'm sorry, Nathalie, Andréa is on her way.

Have a seat. You'll be more comfortable.

"Comfortable"?
Do you think they're "comfortable"?

- Who?
- I think Nathalie means your lawyers.

We can't leave them this way.
Let's change everything.

Let's circulate the energy.

First, a plant won't do any harm.

Yes, but it's not your job to do this.

Yes, you're right,
take it and follow me! Let's go!

Let's go!

Come on, come on. There!

Stop everything!

Telephones down.

Who has heard of "feng-shui"?

Here. This is for you.

Don't worry, you'll be all right.

Who, me? Oh, no... but... Not me!

Miss!

Do you remember me?

The ticket. I translated for nothing.
With the inspector!

I've been looking for you!
It's for a movie. And...

Can we go get coffee? I'll explain.

Are you paying?

Yes, clear out the bay window.

Now you're facing the light.

You're white as sheets.

You'll perk up some.

You really screwed me over.

What is she doing?

Promoting well-being in the work-place.

Right. I'm counting on you, Okay?

Respect each other's rhythm,
create movement.

But remain in harmony!

- Goodbye!
- Goodbye!

Nathalie, I'm sorry,

I wasn't told about the change of venue.

It's all right, it feels good to do good.

But we'll talk some other time,
I'm late for my lunch date.

Here we go!

You don't mind if I don't see you out,

I have to go over something with Andréa.

- No worries. Right, bye!
- Bye, Nathalie.

Have I made my point?

You'll badmouth us to your clients
until we give you what you want?

Exactly.

Except that
we don't negotiate with terrorists.

Nathalie. Can you give me five minutes?

You have five floors.

I'd really like you to stay with ASK.

I know.

But you're already pretty overrun.

That's nothing, just a transition.

Listen, Nathalie,
I know how close you were with Mathias.

I'm asking you to trust me.

For my clients, I move mountains.
For you, even more.

Andréa, you're a terrific agent.

Everyone knows, and it shows.

And your clients are very lucky
to have you. But...

No, no "but." No "but".

But I've already made my choice.

I'm going with Elise Formain.

From StarMédia.

She's quieter, more what I need.

Okay, I see.

If you change your mind,
you know where I am.

Good luck, Andréa.

Doors closing.

CHANGING ROOM 1

I'm so excited! Like before going onstage.

It's the beginning of a new life!

That's good!

So, I guess that means "no"
for Pathé's offer of Camping 4?

Right...

See what Camping 4 looks like?

I'm too old for that.

No, not at all.

It's... You're perfect.

You're a good agent.

It's as if it had triggered something.

I know it won't be easy.
I'll have to work for it.

But it's Okay, I want to go all in,
to explore. To learn.

I sent you a list of directors
I'd like to work with after this!

Some very fine people!

You told me to dream big, I'm dreaming!

It's in alphabetical order. From "Assayas"

- to "Zlotowski".
- So I see.

And in terms of festivals,
do you think I could...

Festivals, yes.
Djamila has certainly done the work.

Sure, for Djamila's film.
But I'd like to be part of a jury.

Right. Weren't you already
president of the Alpe d'Huez festival?

Come on, Alpe d'Huez is still
very comedy-based.

And who knows? Maybe, one day, Cannes.

Hey!

Why not? Huh?

Excuse me. I have a call to make.

Yeah.

We'll talk later, Gab?

Alex? Who is that?

From my street casting!
An amazing girl I spotted in the metro.

Crazy charismatic and so I convinced her

to audition for Valérie Donzelli's film!

I don't care, we need to keep

Dany Boon! It's way more important

than your random broad on line 5!
Wouldn't you say?

Wow.

I don't know if it's more important.

Yes, you do know! All right, Bye!

"So? No one waits for Patrick?"

It's Okay, if I'm the one who says it.

Gabin. Don't make mama fall over.

Hey. Careful.

Marilyne Fontaine, ring a bell?

She's an actress on my panel.

Yes, sure.

She's close friends with Laurent Tirard.

Who shot with Kad Merad.

All right.

Who is Dany Boon's great pal
since Les Ch'tis!

- Okay, I'm listening.
- And Dany

is still close to his 2nd grade teacher,
Mrs. Bonnero.

He trusts her on everything,

from times tables to his career choices.

You think we can bypass Mathias
by persuading her?

Affirmative.

Camille!

- Camille!
- Yes?

- Book me a train for...
- Bergues. Up north.

That's it.

- Mrs. Bonnero?
- Yes?

Hello! Andréa Martel.
I came to speak with you about Dany.

- I don't talk to the press.
- I'm not a journalist.

I'm the head of the agency
representing him.

Mathias is Dany's agent.

Not anymore. If you let me in,
I'll explain everything.

At ASK, we know Dany well,
and Dany knows us.

This agency is a bit like.
Yeah, like a cocoon for him.

Like his family.

His Parisian family.

So with or without Mathias, that's not...

Ah, Mathias. I really do like him.

A very personable, decent man.

"Decent," I wouldn't say that.

But I understand.

Well, the fact is he's gone.

He abandoned ship.

I don't eat much. I don't want to impose.

You don't like to eat?

I do. But I don't really have much time.

That's right.
People never have any time these days.

My children, my grandchildren,
all the same! No time to visit.

I always tell Dany.

Take the time, and eat well.

Otherwise what's the point?

No, right, yes. That's true.

You're right. We lead crazy lives
and we don't notice anymore.

You've convinced me,
I want to take my time.

For once,
I'm going to take my time, there!

So? What's for dinner?

A passion for cactus?

Anyway, you look well.

No longer being an agent suits you well!

It's a ship one must leave in time.
Bear that in mind.

By the way, I learned about Bréhier.

I never thought he'd finally retire.

To be honest, we nudged him toward it.

- For his own good, obviously.
- Of course.

Health first, right?

Everyone is wondering who will take over.

As you can guess,
I haven't come to talk about Bréhier.

About whom, then?

Dany Boon. I want him at StarMédia.

Same as everyone else.

Precisely.

It would be helpful if you could tell him
I'm the best person to replace you.

Let me stop you right there:

I can't do that to ASK.

Okay.

I suspected as much.

And it does you great credit.

- You don't blame me for trying?
- Not at all.

Then I'll be off.

Shall I see you out?

No. You stay here.

By the way! I read
Beauvois' "Bastille." Really great!

- Thank you.
- I loved it.

Loved it. There's a whiff of revolution.
It very much fits the current climate.

He's right to want Auteuil.
He'll be great for the part.

When is Xavier planning to shoot?

Because you know, Daniel right now
has a full schedule until 2022.

Unless...

Unless?

Unless his agent, meaning me,

goes out of her way to free up
some time on his calendar.

You've really earned your throne
at StarMédia.

Don't you like it?

Yes! I do, see for yourself.

When you like it, you ask for more!

Come on! Come on, come on!

And for the last part, a sugar pie!

Yeah, but I... I'm sorry, but...

Oh, what a shame.

Still, you have quite an appetite
for a slip of a girl.

I like you.

I'll talk to my Dany!

- Goodbye. Thanks!
- Get home safe!

See you soon!

The baby-sitter's here.

What are you doing?
Should we meet at the restaurant?

The restaurant is going to be tough.

Stuck at work again?

Not this time, actually.

Where are you, then?

- Bergues.
- "Bergues"?

What line is that?

It's in the Hauts-de-France.

Fucking hell!

Fuck, I can't take it anymore.

It's incredible what's he's done,
this morning.

Did you swap him?

No, he's still the same.

He made me cry twice.

Even Didier was bawling.

- Didier?
- The dog wrangler.

Okay! Dylan is here,
we can do the confrontation scene!

Come on, Franck!

Stand here.

I stand here?

Great. Camera, are you ready?

- Let's do this!
- All right, in place.

Just watch, you can go all out,
I'm pumped, I'm with you.

Don't talk to me.

Okay, you're in the scene.
I'll follow you.

Roll camera!

Rolling!

66/6, first take.

Clapperboard.

Frame.

Action!

So? You have nothing to say to me?

No, nothing.

I can't look at your face.
You have no dignity. No honor.

Oh, right. So that's your solution?

Insult the whole world
until everyone hates you?

That's not bravery, it's cowardice.

Fuck you!

Okay, don't cut!
Dylan, that wasn't your line at all,

but it was better, so thanks!

I threw my punch when I could.

Yeah, the slap wasn't great.

Okay.

- Do you want us to rehearse?
- Fuck you.

Action!

- It's not credible!
- Fuck this.

Dylan. You have to help me out a bit.
With your head.

Action!

Not working. Dylan, put some life into it.

We have to be more sincere.

- Sincere?
- Yes.

Like with Télérama?

What about Télérama?

Stealing other people's interviews,
that's sincere?

Action!

Damn it, it's not working.

What? The journalist came to see me.

Yeah, sure he did.

It's your crappy agent
who asked him to swap us.

One last time, let's get it right.
Let's go!

What?
You think they give a shit about you?

That they wanted you?

You think they wanted Patrick Chirac?

You're a clown, that's all.

Go back to your camping,
and let us make films.

Action!

All right! Perfect. We've got it!

Don't touch me.

You freak.

Dylan?

You screwed me over.

What's this mess with Dubosc?
What did you fucking do?

Nothing, it's going to be Okay.

Sure, things will settle on their own.

Especially with a star who hits a kid!

I'll talk to him. I'll talk to them.

Dylan's agent is threatening to sue us,
you get it?

I never should have let you
take care of it. It was too much for you.

I was due to audition at 5:30 pm.
At 6 pm, I was still waiting. I left.

Let me explain the business:
a casting director is basically a pope.

Or a king. If he makes you wait
4 hours, you wait 4 hours.

Well, I don't.

You don't know how it works.

First you get famous,
then you start with the drama.

Yeah, Okay, bye.

I'll tell you why you left.

Because you were afraid.

It takes courage to audition.

It takes honesty. Putting down your guard.

Showing what's within.

You didn't leave
because you were tired of waiting.

Yeah, Okay, I freaked out. I freaked out.

Don't you ever get scared?

Yes, but this part is made for you,
you can get it.

It'd be dumb to let it pass you by.

I don't need advice from
a shitty little agent who dresses at H&M.

- Have you ever been on an audition?
- I'm an agent.

Then do something brave for once.

And then we can talk.

Hey, you.

No, it's not over for Auteuil, Xavier.

Listen, it's not over,
but it's complicated, that's all.

Yes, it is complicated.

Look, I'll keep you posted,
I'll call you back.

What do you mean, it's complicated?

You going to give in to Elise's blackmail?

Listen...

I'm a producer, now.

I have to find. the best actor
for my director, that's all.

No, hang on. If Dany Boon leaves ASK...

They're going to start sinking.

Chances are, yes.

COMMUNITY CENTER

I'm calling Franck, Okay.

Of course, you are.

He's filtering my calls.

Yes, Franck. Hey, it's Gabriel.

Listen, I...

I wanted to tell you... I'll call you back.

Dylan?

What do you want?

Chill, man.

Franck has nothing to do with it,
I messed up.

Please, withdraw the charge.

No, I'm not withdrawing anything.

Okay. And who was he?

A friend.

You hand out money to your friends?

Yeah, so what?

- What is it? Why are you in my face?
- Nothing.

Listen, here's my offer.

You withdraw your charge, or I tell
production you bring your dealer on set.

- My dealer?
- Yeah.

Nice stereotype.

Why should he be my dealer?

- Son of a bitch.
- Okay, so I'll do it then.

- Yeah, go ahead, do it.
- Yeah.

- What an asshole.
- I think you're wrong.

It was his speech therapist.

But... What are you talking about?

When you suffer from prejudice,
you learn to look beyond appearances.

Plus, I admit...

Finding the care sheet
also helped quite a bit.

But why does he need a speech therapist?

Hey.

Okay, go ahead.

Slap me, that way, we'll be even.
And then...

I'm sorry about my agent.

He's still your agent?

Yeah.

I think I'll keep him.

He messed up, but he means well.
And he restored my confidence.

Like you need confidence.

Like you need a speech therapist?

I have to work on my diction.

Pardon?

- People don't understand me when I speak.
- What's that?

Shit, what a fool.

I'm not a really an actor.

I'm just a guy from the suburbs
who got lucky. That's all.

Yeah? Did luck earn you your César?

You're getting a billion offers.

Yeah, exactly.

I act tough, but I'm freaking out.

For my first movie, I was myself.

Same this time with Djamila.

But I know that,

when I'll have to play something else,

I'll mess it up for sure.

Dylan.

You're talented, you're charismatic,
but you're as stupid as I am.

You're stuck in your comfort zone, bro.

Okay, drop the "bro" stuff,
it's embarrassing.

Sorry.

Do you know how I started out?

Flying the Bogdanoffs' spaceship.

What? The dudes with the big chins?

In person.

That's dope.

Then I was a magician's assistant.

It's true. I was also... I was an extra

in Patrick Sébastien's shows.
I starred in commercials for dumb shit...

I did bits, I became an actor.

And I'm still terrified.

The thing is,
don't be scared to try everything.

Or to look stupid?

Yeah, that too.

And then there's
an important lesson here too.

This is very, very important.

It will guide you throughout your career.
If someone asks you to punch them,

don't do it.

They're just being polite.

Did I hurt you?

I'm dying from my cheek right now.

Oh, shit.

I mean, you did ask for it.

A little, yeah.

Jacob! Party tonight, right?

What are you doing?
We have a house-warming party to prepare!

I'm coming!

Antoine?
Can you make a playlist for tonight?

Already done.

Camille!

Where are you going?

What do you mean?

- No, I mean, any plans tonight?
- And you?

Well, same old. Finishing late,

apologizing to the missus...

Same old.

Here, if you see Sofia,

tell her she'll be getting a nice contract
for the movie with Luchini.

Cool! You managed to counter Mathias?

Can't wait to see his face
when he learns that we're keeping Boon.

- All right. Have a good night.
- Bye.

See you tomorrow, Justine.

See you tomorrow.

See you tomorrow!

Hey, chill, Okay? Stop attacking me!

Wait, hold on, I'm attacking you?

Why don't you answer me?
Why don't you look at me?

Hey, answer me, please.

You took Cécile's place.

Bullshit, I didn't take Cécile's place.

Who's Cécile?

She was the previous producer's assistant.

Barneville had her fired.

We all thought: "That's how it goes.

He has his own assistant."

But you slept to get the job,
so it's different.

I'm not sleeping with him, I'm his woman.

So you sleep with him.

No. I was his assistant
well before I started sleeping with him.

An exceptional assistant, might I say.

Congratulations.

I'm not an assistant,
I'm a Development Manager,

Okay?

Goodnight to you all.

What about...

Well, the picture... Pretty good, right?

- Yeah.
- Good evening!

There. So, here we are.

What for?

Well, we're...

Didn't you get my message?

No, I didn't get any message.

We have a proposal.

We'd like do it together.

Yeah, like a sort
of back-and-forth interview.

To talk about Djamila's movie and then...

we'd share the cover.

Good idea, right?

Yes. It's... It's a great idea, really...

But with everything that went on...

We changed our plans.

We're going to do the cover
on someone else.

I'm sorry.

Who other than Dylan and Franck?

There's no better option. Is there?

A César award. What did the other guy win?

An Oscar?

Hello.

No need to introduce Tony Parker.

Tony, I'm delighted to have you here.

- You know Franck Dubosc.
- Of course.

- Hello.
- Dylan...

- Hi.
- And...

- Yes, Gabriel... Sarda.
- Hello.

Tony is going to be playing
in Shakespeare's Othello.

- That's wonderful.
- Will you come?

- Yes, totally.
- Of course.

Franck, could we get a selfie together?

- Yes.
- My mother is...

a big fan.

- Thanks.
- Let's go, Tony.

See you around, Patrick.

Should I have invited her?

She's your boss, it's normal
not to want her at your party.

Yeah, it sounds healthy to me.

Yes, don't be mad
but I didn't invite Mathias either.

Don't worry, he had other plans tonight.

I didn't really understand what, but...

It's too bad,
but with the negotiations underway...

One day, you'll realize
that he is not your enemy.

He is 100% behind ASK.

Come in!

- Hey, everyone.
- Welcome!

- Oh, cool.
- Hello.

- How's it going?
- Great.

You've met Sarah?

- Sarah, Noémie.
- Nice to meet you.

- Did you bring champagne?
- Yes, I did.

- And Sarah robbed a store.
- A wig store.

What's a party without wigs?

Thanks, Sarah!

Did Camille tell you? I got confirmation
for the film with Luchini.

- Really?
- Yeah.

- Cool, right?
- Congratulations. I'm so happy.

Isn't François Ozon. directing?

- Yeah, yeah, he is.
- Yeah.

Well, every other day, right?

- What?
- Oh, didn't they tell you?

No. No, no.

Yeah, François Ozon has a twin brother.

Gilles Ozon.

They're kind of like the Dardennes,
except that

they alternate. One day, François shoots,
the next day, it's Gilles.

It allows them to work longer
and so they have tons of projects.

I didn't know that.

- Yeah.
- Hold on,

which one did I meet then?

On what day did you meet him?

Hold on, it was... Tuesday.

Tuesday?

No, you must have seen Gilles.

It's generally Gilles
who meets with actors.

Because François is...

It's embarrassing,
but François spits when he speaks.

- You're bullshitting me?
- Yeah.

What an idiot. I can't believe it.

- What a clown.
- You are.

You believe everything you hear.

But that's why you're a good actress.

It's moving, is what it is.

Excuse me.

INCOMING CALL

Girl! Come dance!

Let's go!

And now... sugar pie!

Are you full?

Me, full? No, never.

I...

Goodbye!

Goodbye, and thanks again!

See you soon!

- Hello?
- Yes, it's done.

Dany Boon will sign with you.

You don't seem thrilled about it.
Isn't this what you wanted?

Do you ever feel any shame?

Shame about what?

About manipulating people?

Is this a way of telling me
I won't be getting Auteuil?

No, it's an actual question.

It's our job, Elise, we chose it.

You'll send me the contracts tomorrow?

Okay.

Pour me one too?

I was sure I'd find you here at this hour.

Yes, well. You'll see.

Once you become chief executive,
overtime doesn't improve.

I won't be seeing anything.

They didn't pick me
to be the head of StarMédia.

Bréhier, that jackass,
named Olivier Dimars instead of me.

Thanks.

Less experienced,
and most of all, much less capable.

But he's a guy.

I thought I just had to be the best
and keep the others down a bit.

I guess I can still be naïve.

I'm sorry.

I don't imagine
you came here to tell me that.

Dany Boon is leaving ASK.

- Excuse me?
- I wanted to warn you.

He's joining me at StarMédia.

- You're bluffing.
- No.

Mathias did the necessary.

I'm sorry, Andréa.

You've been had too.

So, what's the deal? To see my face
when I'd learn the news, is that it?

I wanted to make you an offer.

Oh, you're still up?

- I was waiting for you.
- That's nice.

Something crazy happened at work...

I saw Eva again.

Eva, your ex?

We slept together.

- Are you joking?
- No, not at all.

- When?
- Who cares, when?

Well, I care. I do.

Sorry, but I care. I'd like to know.

When was this? When I was in Bergues,

throwing my guts up?

Or when I was in the ER
when she broke her leg?

I would like to know

when you found the time to nail that cow.

You're so condescending.

Condescending? Are you crazy?
You should be apologizing right now.

Apologizing? Apologizing for what?

For looking after my daughter alone?

Or for watching TV while you have fun?

I don't have fun, damn it, it's my job.

When will you understand?

It's not like I haven't asked you to come.

You don't want to leave the baby.
You can't.

Yeah, one of us has to be there.

That's what I'm trying to do.
Make time for the family.

Which family? Ours,
or the great film industry?

Fuck, damn it! Great! Amazing!

- Let me through.
- I can do it too.

And did you know
Jane Birkin isn't English.

She's from Savoy.

And her accent is just pretend.

No, don't even try it.
You're too fake to make stuff up.

- I'm fake?
- Yes.

Yeah, all right, but now...

I make a mean caipirinha. You want one?

Let's go.

Bye, Camille. Thanks, it was so much fun.

There you are, everything Okay?

There's a big party in St Ouen.

- Let's go?
- What's the rush?

It's going to be lit.

If you need a ride, let's go.

- All right, let's go.
- Okay.

Come on!

Camille? Have you seen Gabriel?

He just left with Sarah!
Didn't he say goodbye?

Sure, sure.
