Chapter Seventy-Four: Do You Want to Act?
Early in the morning, on the tree-lined path of the community, Wang Yang was wearing a set of sportswear, breathing steadily and running forward, he suddenly saw Joshua leading Danny in front of him, so he waved hello and shouted, "Hey, Joshua!"
“oh,baby-baby!how-was-i-supposed…… Huh!" Joshua, who was wearing a No. 34 Lakers jersey, saw Wang Yang, and immediately stopped singing, shouting: "Hey, Young, when are you going back to Los Angeles?" Danny also wagged his tail excitedly, wanting to rush up and catch up with Wang Yang. Joshua pulled it hard, turned around and ran with Wang Yang, and said with a smile: "Aren't you controlled by the New York police?"
"I ran away and just came back last night. Wang Yang smiled, touched Danny's head while running, and shot back at Joshua: "You don't fit Shaquille O'Neal's jersey, you don't have that domineering." ”
The two laughed and ran for a while, and Joshua suddenly said in a negotiating tone, "By the way, Jan, I want to borrow your house for one night, any day this week, you know, organize a party." Wang Yang didn't think about it, so he simply said, "No!" Joshua immediately made a bitter face and pleaded: "Please, lend it to me! I'm pursuing a girl right now, so I need to be in the limelight! It's a very healthy party, otherwise do you think I'll choose a place a few hundred meters away from home? I need a venue!"
Wang Yang glanced at him a few times, and said suspiciously: "Joshua, aren't you also studying in acting school? Why have I never heard of you participating in auditions, you are a pickling girl every day, and now there is another one." ”
"Oh, uh...... Wow!" Joshua explained with a wink of his eyes and another stroke of hair, "Actually, I've been to a few auditions, but I've been kicked out, and Miranda hasn't scheduled a new audition for me for a long time. Wang Yang frowned and said, "Oh, Miranda is also your agent? Saying that, he laughed and said, "Joshua, don't put the blame on others, you didn't participate in the audition for "Youth Musical" 2, there are a bunch of classmate roles there, and I played one of them." ”
Joshua coughed, looked at Wang Yang and said seriously, "Maybe I should go to the audition for "Juno", is there a role suitable for me?" Wang Yang looked at him and said, "You? maybe, a classmate passing by in the corridor." But "Juno" is the plan for next year, and now I'm going to make "When Happiness Knocks", and I'll have to be a guest at Will Smith's house later. Seeing Joshua's indifferent look, Wang Yang frowned and smiled: "Dude, you don't like acting?" Oh, your expression has already been explained. ”
"It's not that I don't like it, it's just that I didn't want to do a big business. Joshua shook his head, running and talking made him slightly out of breath, and said with a smile: "Actually, I went to acting school to protect Jessica, at that time, she suddenly went crazy and said, 'I want to go to acting school, I want to go to acting school!' Okay, then I'll go too, don't look at her as a sister, but she needs someone else to protect her." ”
"Jan, you should thank me, I have protected your girlfriend for ten years!" Joshua said in an accentuated tone, and then his eyes lit up: "So, in order to show your gratitude, lend me the house!" Wang Yang sped up his running pace, looked back at Joshua who was left behind, and said with a smile: "Thank you, but the matter of borrowing a house, no!"
Joshua gritted his teeth and chased after him, Danny next to him ran and stretched out his tongue, and he continued to plead: "Yang, you can't be like this! I'm serious this time, that girl is so beautiful, with a warm personality, and she looks a lot like Britney!" Wang Yang could hear that his reason was focused on the last point, and couldn't help laughing: "It's very similar to Britney? Why don't you just pursue Britney? I have her number, you either?"
"What!You have her number?!" Joshua's eyes widened suddenly, and he chased after her, and asked nervously, "Do you have her number?" Wang Yang couldn't help but smile and nodded calmly: "Well, we met at a dinner party." Joshua let out an oh and said with great joy, "Oh my God, why do you know her? Does my stupid sister know? ”
Seeing him like this, Wang Yang laughed out loud, and laughed mischievously: "Lie to you, no, how can I have Britney's number?"
"!" Joshua looked frustrated, and scolded, "Young, you make me happy! What a bad morning!" He let out a long sigh and said, "But forget it, I'm not Prince William, I'm not the youngest billionaire, I'm not a brilliant person, how can Britney ignore me!"
Wang Yang slowed down, patted Joshua on the shoulder, and encouraged him: "Joshua, you should strive to be the wonderful person you say, for Britney!
"Okay, Jan, but I'll have to catch up with that girl first. Joshua clenched his fists with confidence, and in a blink of an eye, he pleaded again, and asked, "Just borrow it for one night, on the first floor of the house, okay?" Wang Yang stopped, stopped joking, and said seriously: "You have to ask Jessica, she said yes, then it's okay, she is in charge of family affairs." "The furnishings in his house are almost all Jessica's ideas, and she has a lot of her things in place, the bedroom, the hall, the kitchen, it's not just his house, and she needs her permission to have a party.
Hearing Jessica's name, Joshua slapped his forehead helplessly and said, "Shit!How could I forget this, it definitely won't work!That guy's attitude towards his brother is not as good as that of a pet!" He pulled Danny and complained, "At least she buys Danny all day, but she never gives me gifts, she is stingy and violent, what a crazy woman!Man, why would you put up with her?"
"Joshua, I've heard it all, and I'll report it to her truthfully. Wang Yang laughed and continued to raise his feet and run forward. Joshua, who was standing still, shrugged his shoulders and said to Danny, "Then she's going to beat me up." Danny next to him stuck out his tongue and kept panting.
After the morning run, Wang Yang had breakfast and drove to Smith's house in the North District. The Smith House is a mansion that covers tens of thousands of feet and has a large artificial lake, swimming pool, tennis courts, basketball courts, and a small golf course...... There is also a huge residential complex surrounded by greenery and picturesque scenery that is almost like a palace.
When Wang Yang parked the car, walked down and looked at the super mansion in front of him, he couldn't help but sigh softly, it's really too big! At this time, he saw the Smith family standing on the lawn in front of him, he smiled and said hello, "Hi, Will!" and walked over.
"Hey, buddy!" Will Smith, who was wearing a woolen sweater, greeted him with a smile on his face and hugged Wang Yang hard: "Welcome to my house!" Behind him, his wife Jada Pinkett Smith was holding Jaden Smith in a scarf, and next to him was a little boy, it was Terry Smith (nickname, originally known as Vinard C. Smith III), who was born to Will and his ex-wife, and was raised by Will after the divorce.
Wang Yang and Will hugged each other, greeted Jada again, touched Jaden's head, made a grimace and laughed: "Hey, little baby, my name is Wang Yang, young-" Jaden smiled and stretched out his hand to hit him, and actually said vaguely: "Yang, Yang......" Wang Yang couldn't help but look at Will and Jada, and said happily: "Oh my God, he spoke, he spoke!"
"Haha, Jan, he likes you. Will and Jada were both smiling happily, Jaden had just started to learn to speak, and Mom and Dad were all talking about it, and today they actually said the word young.
"Come, learn to be a director, director—" Wang Yang read it several times with great interest, but Jaden just smiled and didn't speak again. Wang Yang smiled and gently pinched his face, then turned his head to look at Terry, and his eyes lit up, the little guy's appearance height is the appearance of a 6 or 7-year-old child, with fluffy hair, cute and smart, amazing! Wang Yang stretched out his hand to Terry and said with a smile: "Hey, little handsome guy, it's nice to meet you!" Terry naturally high-fived him, and said in a childish voice: "Hi, I'm Terry." ”
Will Smith looked at his son and said, "Terry, this is your uncle Young. Wang Yang leaned back weakly and said, "Oh, it's not an uncle, it's a friendly big brother!" Terry's little face suddenly showed a very funny smile, and he deliberately said, "Uncle Yang." Everyone smiled, Wang Yang seemed to suddenly remember something, said "Wait a minute!", and walked back to the car quickly, picking up two gifts from the back seat.
"This is for Jaden. Wang Yang walked back, smiled and handed one of the gifts to Jada, who teased his son and said, "Baby, say thank you, thank you." Wang Yang handed another gift to Terry and said with a smile: "Hey, Terry, I hope you like it!" Terry looked at the box in his hand and said with some curiosity: "What is it?" Wang Yang smiled: "Open it and take a look." ”
Terry opened the colored paper outside with great interest, and Wang Yang carefully observed his demeanor, which had a good sense of lens, and the effect on the film should be very good.
"A rugby?" Terry said with some disappointment when he saw the brown rugby ball lying in the box, "I love rugby, but I've got several." Will and Jada both laughed helplessly, and Wang Yang also laughed a few times, and said nonsense: "This is a rugby ball like no other, it has some materials from a mysterious tribe, it will make you faster and stronger! ”
Terry picked up the rugby ball in the box in disbelief, and it looked like it was no different from his ordinary rugby balls.
Next, Wang Yang, under the leadership of the Will Smith family, took a good tour of this mansion, both inside and outside are very luxurious and beautiful, Wang Yang likes those swimming pools, basketball courts and so on, but for the huge, palace-like residential buildings, he still prefers the kind of small elegant villas, the rooms are not too much, they can't live in, empty, there is no such warm feeling.
After visiting the house, Terry remembered what Wang Yang said and wanted to go outside to play rugby on the lawn, Wang Yang happily accompanied Terry to the large golf lawn outside, while Will and Jada personally prepared lunch.
"Hey, Terry, come on!" Wang Yang threw the football to Terry in front of him, Terry caught it steadily, and threw it back, Wang Yang said with a smile while tossing: "Terry, let's play another game first!" Terry said suspiciously: "What game?" Wang Yang explained: "This game is called 'instant reaction', I say a word, or a situation, you have to show it, for example, I said angry......" He made a glaring expression and smiled: "How about it?"
“ok。 Terry nodded nonchalantly and walked over with the football in his arms. Wang Yang sat on the lawn with him and said, "Happy!" Terry immediately smiled; "Your favorite toy is lost, sad!" Terry suddenly cried with a sad face; "Very anxious expression!" ...... After nearly ten instant reactions in a row, Wang Yang was very happy, because the answer he got was that Terry was very talented in acting! And he watched the MV of "Just-the-Two-of-Us" yesterday, this song was written by Will Smith to Terry last year, and the MV was played by their father and son, and Terry's performance was not bad;
Looking at Terry, who was waiting for him to continue to solve the question, Wang Yang smiled slightly, he was quite interested in acting, didn't he? He asked, "Terry, do you know what a movie actor is?" Wang Yang smiled: "Well, are you interested in trying your hand at acting? Become a movie actor!"
"No!" Terry immediately shook his little head and said, "I like rugby, I want to be a rugby star!" Wang Yang thought about Terry's interest when he played the game just now, and asked, "Not interested at all? Really not?" Terry suddenly hesitated, Wang Yang smiled in his heart, this kid must not be completely interested in acting, so it's fine. He thought about it for a moment, and then he encouraged, "Rugby is fun, but you know what? Acting is also a fun thing!" Terry wondered, "How is it fun?"
"In the world of movies, you can become other people, experience their stories, and their hearts......" Wang Yang said a few words, and was about to continue to list the charm of acting, but Terry interrupted him, and said with a disinterested face: "Why should I become someone else? I am Terry!" Wang Yang was stunned, and said: "Well, this is the fun of acting, you don't actually become anyone, but in the movie, you experience ......" Terry shook his head violently, got up and ran with a rugby in his arms, and said loudly: "No, I hate acting!" ”
What was I talking about just now? Wang Yang covered his forehead speechlessly, and couldn't help laughing again, it seems that it is not possible to communicate with children like this! He stood up and quickly followed, and asked with a smile: "Hey, why do you hate showmanship?" Come, throw the rugby ball to me!"
Terry tossed the football over, but refused to answer Wang Yang's question. He was running around on the lawn, Wang Yang followed closely with a rugby ball all the way, and kept saying, "Tell me, tell me!" Terry still shook his head, Wang Yang grabbed him, and said with a serious face: "Terry, I won't tell anyone, this is the secret of the two of them! Do you know? The secret must be told to one person, if only you know, hold it in your heart for too long, it will become a mess, blocked in your chest, and then every night when you sleep, it will be very uncomfortable, very uncomfortable, and painful ......." He frowned in pain and gasped, "Oh my...... That's it!"
"You're a liar. Terry frowned in disbelief, Wang Yang said solemnly: "This is true, I once listened to a class at the USC School of Medicine, this disease is called heart disease, it is very serious!" Seeing him so serious, Terry was a little scared: "Is it really like this?" Wang Yang nodded without hesitation and said: "Yes! Terry, let me tell you a secret of mine first, when I was a child, I once fought with four boys for a girl, and the girl thought it was the other party's pick, but it was actually my ......"
He leaned into Terry's ear and muttered a few words, Terry laughed, he listened to Wang Yang's secret, stopped talking for a while, and then said: "Well, I hate acting, because every time my dad makes a movie, he will be busy for months, and I can only see him occasionally." He looked down at the rugby on the lawn and whispered, "I want to see him every day and play rugby with him." ”
"Oh...... That's right. Wang Yang was stunned for a moment, his mood suddenly became a little heavy, look at the surroundings, this mansion is like a palace, this is Will Smith after countless time, countless sweat, Will provided Terry with the best material environment, but now Terry hopes most is to see his father every day. Wang Yang took a deep breath, if he had a child and a daughter, could he grow up with her every day? Find a nanny to take care of the child, and he was busy making movies every day? That was his child, not a nanny's!
But making movies was his dream, and that was his favorite thing, just as Will loved acting...... But is the love for the child enough? Is it so responsible? Wang Yang was silent, and there was no answer in his heart.
"Jan, don't tell my dad, I don't want him to be unhappy, I know that's his job. Terry's childish face was full of understanding of his father.
What a sensible child! Wang Yang smiled slightly, interrupted his train of thought, touched Terry's head and said, "Terry, your father is going to make a movie again, my movie." Terry sighed and said in disappointment, "Really?" Wang Yang nodded and said, "Well, you won't see your father for a few more months." Seeing Terry's increasing disappointment, Wang Yang's tone changed and he smiled: "But, I have a way for you to see it every day, and stay together all day every day until the end of the filming!"
"What's the solution!?" asked Terry, curious, hopeful. Wang Yang spread his hands and said the answer with a smile: "You are also here to make this movie! Play one of the roles, so that you can be together every day?" Terry immediately reacted, jumped happily, and said, "Yes! But is it okay?" Wang Yang laughed and said: "Yes! I am the director, I approve it! You still play your father's son in the movie, interesting, right?"
"Wow, it seems to be fun!" Terry now completely lost his previous hated performance, his face was full of excitement, and shouted: "I want to act!" Wang Yang clenched his fist and waved, and smiled: "Okay! This will be fun! Come, let's tell Dad to go!" With that, he hugged the rugby ball on the lawn and ran to the front with a smile, and Terry followed behind, also letting out a happy laugh.
The two ran into the house, walked through the hall, and were about to walk to the living room over there, but saw Will Smith coming towards him, Terry shouted "Daddy" and pounced on him, Will smiled and hugged him: "Yoyo, my boy! How are you playing with Uncle Young? Is there anything special about that football?" Terry struggled to the ground again, he walked back to Wang Yang, looked up at Wang Yang and smiled, as if to say, "Announce it!"
"What's wrong?" Will Smith asked, a little confused. Wang Yang handed the rugby to Terry and said with a smile: "Will, I have to tell you something." After a pause, he announced, "Terry is a good fit to play Chris Gardner's son, and he's interested in playing it. Terry nodded and grinned, "Yes, Dad, I'm going to act, I'm going to act!"
Will was stunned for a moment, and blurted out, "What? Yang, is this true?" Wang Yang nodded seriously and said, "Yes, Will, Terry's acting talent is very high, and he can handle it completely." Terry said in a resolute tone: "Dad, I want to act!" Will Smith was still dumbfounded, looked at his son, and then at Wang Yang, and said, "Terry, aren't you not interested in acting?
"Will, Terry is really talented. Wang Yang also persuaded.
"Oh, I know......" Will Smith looked at Terry's resolute expression, suddenly laughed, showed a mouthful of white teeth, and said, "Okay, Terry, as long as it's something you like, Daddy will definitely support you." ”
"yes!" Terry cheered excitedly, kept jumping up, and high-fived Wang Yang, who was also happy next to him, and said with a smile: "I like it! Performances can be transformed into other people and experience their stories, of course I like it!" Wang Yang glared at him in surprise, and Terry gave him a smug look.
At this time, Jada also walked out of it, and when she saw the three of them being overjoyed, she smiled suspiciously and asked, "What happened?" Will Smith held back his laughter, looked at his son, and explained: "Terry is going to star in "When Happiness Knocks on the Door", play my son, haha!" Jada was stunned, and couldn't help laughing: "Really? That's so interesting!" Wang Yang looked at Jada and said a thought he had already had in his heart: "Hey, Jada, are you interested in playing Will's wife? I mean, in "When Happiness Knocks on the Door" Village. ”
"What......" Jada was stunned again, and Will Smith was stunned for a moment, then reacted and laughed, "Amazing Young, you're crazy......"
Wang Yang spread his hands with a smile and said, "No, it's just really suitable." ”
