Chapter 61: Have You Ever Acted Before?

Outside the window, the sun is shining, and in the Covell Bar on Hollywood Boulevard in Los Angeles, California, Lucas, a young man with black-rimmed sunglasses, is lying on the bar, writing and drawing in the notebook he carries with him.

At the moment, Lucas is painting a storyboard of his first feature film, which is, of course, "American Painting" invested by Walter. Although Lucas at this time had already made dystopian science fiction movies like "Five Hundred Years Later", it was obvious that he completed that movie with the help of his friend Coppola, and the scenes he himself really directed by him were only more than 20 minutes, which was obviously not enough for Lucas, who was bent on making achievements in films.

Therefore, for the movie "American Style Painting", which will be directed by himself, Lucas is very attentive, he wants to draw all the characters written by him in his mind, and then find the most suitable actor.

In fact, it stands to reason that Lucas should go home to paint, not paint on the bar counter, but today there is an appointment, he can only come out, fortunately, the atmosphere of this unique bar on Hollywood Avenue is very good, the old wallpaper around exudes a lazy atmosphere, after painting tired, look at the surrounding scenery, drink a little wine is very pleasant.

"Wow~oh...... George, is this your painting?" a familiar voice sounded beside him, causing Lucas to stop his paintbrush.

Lucas raised his head and saw a soft-faced, obviously mixed-race face appear in front of him, so he put down his paintbrush, shook his head and smiled: "Yes, but I'm not good at drawing." ”

"Well, I think it's a good drawing. After hearing this, Walter took a few serious glances at the paintings again, although he was not a director, he also knew that this was a movie storyboard, and the feeling told him that the paintings were very good. It is said that every excellent director master basically has a good painter, and their grasp of the lens is also the reason why there are some paintings, it seems that the rumors are true, no wonder some directors can make their movies surpass others just by using the lens.

"No, no, no! You won't understand, I'm not very good at drawing. Lucas continued to shake his head, and then simply didn't want to dwell on this topic, after helping his thick black-framed sunglasses, he looked at Walter and said, "Walter, do you have anything to do with me today?"

Walter tapped his fingers on the table and smiled, "There is indeed something that needs your help......

However, before Walter could finish speaking, a woman in a white low-cut group suddenly flew beside him, ran to him, leaned on him, and interrupted him: "Why did you suddenly ask me to come here? I've been very busy lately......"

"Ahem, ahem...... Hi Kim, come and let me introduce you to a friend. Walter quickly stopped the reckless woman, he should have gone to pick her up in the car first, and came to Lucas together.

Then, Walter looked at Basinger and said to Lucas in front of him: "This is my friend George, an excellent young director, believe me, don't look at his youth, he must be a very famous director in the future." ”

After saying that, Walter introduced to Lucas, "George, this is my friend Kim, a very beautiful girl. There are some words, point to point, Walter believes that there is no need for him to explain, Lucas will also guess the relationship between him and Basinger, and bring Basinger today, this young man will definitely understand what he means.

However, before Lucas could react, Basinger, who was beside Walter, glared at Walter as if he suddenly understood something, and then hurriedly stretched out his jade hand, shook hands with Lucas and said, "Hello, George, I'm Kim, Kim Basinger, it's nice to meet you." Now, if Basinger didn't understand that today's meeting was a movie meeting arranged for him by Walter, it would have been in vain for her in the entertainment industry for the past few years.

"Hello, I'm George Lucas, just call me George. When Lucas saw the woman stretching out his hand, he also reflected it, and hurriedly shook hands with her and replied.

After that, Walter snapped his fingers and shouted to the young waiter at the bar, "Waiter, do you have any special drinks today?"

This Cowell bar is famous on Hollywood Boulevard, and Walter's predecessor also came often, so it is clear that this bar does not even have a formal wine list and menu, only their daily change of wine, which is equivalent to a special drink, which tastes good, and with their unique decoration, it makes people feel very comfortable after tasting.

After hearing this, the young white waiter who was holding a white cloth and wiping the wine utensils over there quickly put down the cloth and wine utensils in his hand and replied with a smile: "Today we are focusing on Malbec sparkling wine from the Mendoza Highlands of Argentina, do you want to try it? If it is paired with the ham bread in our store, it will taste very good." ”

At this moment, the bar is sparsely populated, and there are less than ten people including Walter and a few people, after all, it is daytime, and there are not many people here for recreation, so the waiter is very happy to see that there is business, and he can finally get some tips in advance during the day.

"Kim, what do you think?" asked Walter as he looked at Basinger.

Basinger nodded, "Yes, I just want to drink something sweet." ”

"Okay. After Walter finished speaking, he turned to the waiter and said, "Two glasses of Malbec sparkling wine, a plate of ham bread." After speaking, he glanced at Lucas's wine glass, which was almost bottoming out, pointed to the wine glass and continued: "Fill this gentleman and count it on my account." ”

"Okay, sir, wait a minute. The waiter answered, and then prepared the drinks and desserts.

Seeing that Walter and the waiter had finished talking, Lucas continued to ask Walter, "Okay, Walter, let's say, what are you looking for me today?" After asking, he looked at Basinger with a smile again, showing a look that a man would understand, and said: "I don't want to disturb the date between you and this beautiful lady, it would be too embarrassing." ”

After hearing this, Walter glanced at Lucas, shook his head and smiled, "George, haven't you seen the purpose of my coming today?"

"Huh?" Lucas's eyes froze, then paused, as if he had thought of something, and then successively glanced at Walter and Basinger, and finally his eyes were fixed on Basinger, and he sighed and asked in a deep voice, "Kim, have you ever acted before?"
