Chapter 29: Lechte Chicken Soup

Theorod's revelations caused an uproar in the audience, and everyone couldn't help but have a sentence in their hearts-whatthefu*ck?!What the did you say?!What did you say?!Suck that thing?Or when you were a minor?No way, you look like a good student with good grades!

Suddenly, the image of a gentle and polite, mature and sensible warm man in everyone's hearts gradually showed signs of collapse. It's really not a strange thing for celebrities to get contaminated with drugs/products, and in the United States, who hasn't smoked a little big/hemp, this is a normal phenomenon. But the point is that at the beginning, Theolod gave them too bright and positive impressions, originally he said that he was surprised that he had bad grades and missed school, but now, he has actually done that kind of bad boy only does, you know, there is still a little difference between big/hemp and real poison/products!

"Yes, yes, I know why you are surprised. In the face of the uproar of the audience, Theolod, who has a very good sense of the camera, rushed to the camera at the right time, lowered his eyes slightly, and raised a bitter and self-deprecating smile at the corner of his mouth, "Now, I am also surprised." However, it's a very complicated thing, and I don't want to explain too much or put myself in the position of a victim and make myself look very pitiful. โ€

"Sounds like there's a lot of story behind this, Theo, don't you really want to talk about it?" Rightman, recovering from his surprise, keenly noticed the unusualness in Theorow's tone, and immediately asked. He knows that the ratings of this episode are absolutely overwhelming, and although celebrities like his show and his family, few people will be so frank about their black history on his show!

This kid is really brave and frank enough, hasn't he thought about his future? Or is this for the sake of โ–กโ–ก hype?

"You really want to know? Because it's so different from most people's minds of childhood and living conditions. Theorod chuckled and shook his head, "Actually, it doesn't matter to me how it used to be. I thought I was going to live like that for the rest of my life, to be the dregs of society, but looking at my grandmother who worked hard every day and every night, I would ask myself, 'Do I really have to do this?' Do I really have to compromise with this qiฤ“, with my life?"

"No, I don't want to, I don't want to compromise. โ€

"Because your grandmother, Maggie, your lady at the premiere, she seems to be a kind elder. โ€

"Yes, she's the perfect in my eyes. Theolod smiled, his smile with a hint of happiness and a hint of worry, but the sun was not particularly dazzling, plain but very real, "She pulled me from the age of six to make me such a big piece of garbage, and besides, I should always stand up for my own dreams, I am the only man in this family." โ€

"Your dream at the time, to be a great actor, is that unrealistic for a bad boy?" said Letterman, realizing that the atmosphere at the moment was not at all suitable for a hilarious stand-up comedy style, so he switched to a heart-to-heart routine, "Have you ever thought about this?"

"I thought about it, of course I thought about it, and at that time no one supported me, including my friends, only my grandma reads; Theolod touched his thigh, looked at Letterman, and then at the camera and the audience, "But I think everyone has the right to pursue their dreams, whether he comes from a famous family or is just a worthless beggar, when anyone says 'no' to you, you just have to say 'yes' to yourself." If even you give up on your dreams, how can you talk about the pressure from the outside world?"

"You know what? Actually, in the beginning, I didn't dare to expect to be an actor, and my dream at that time was more like a pipe dream for me. And the only thing I wanted to do at that time was 'I can't go on like this', and if I wanted to hold up this family, I couldn't continue to be a piece of waste...... Even then, our family simply didn't have the money to support me to go to rehab/drug center. โ€

"So you're ...... yourself?"

"That's right. โ€

"Wow......"

"yes, 'Wow,' I think about that time myself now. โ€

"Okay, so how did you decide to come to Los Angeles?"

"Because of The Godfather. โ€

"The Godfather, you mean Marlon Brando, Al Pacino and Robert De Niro's The Godfather?"

"Yes, that's the movie. It was when I had just left the house and my friend brought me a DVD to celebrate. Actually, you can't believe me when I say it, David, I had barely seen any movies before this, and movies are a very expensive and time-wasting thing for the kind of people we have. And you will never believe it, when I watched the first one, I cried, really cried, and sat there holding an empty popcorn bucket and cried like a fool. โ€

Thinking of the early years, Theolod couldn't help but laugh. And Letterman was also attracted by his unknown experience, resting one hand on the table and supporting his chin with the other: "Well, it seems that our tears are a little different, at least when the first part ends, I shouted with joy." โ€

"Actually, my friend was the same, and he was shocked by the way I burst into tears. "But I know my tears are due to some kind of resonance - yes, I know that the word sounds too profound - this series is a good movie, the actors are masters, and Marlon Brando, Al Pacino and Robert De Niro are like spiritual guides and salvation who pulled me out of the mire - this is no exaggeration, I dreamed of playing a game with them." โ€

"You know what? I revisit this series every month if I have time, because it makes me understand why I'm sitting here now, it makes me understand who I am, a depraved and incompetent old drug addict? No, I'm Theolod Recht, a grandson, a man who supports a family, an actor, a ...... Liability. I just watched "The Godfather" not long ago, and at that time I was sitting on the floor like this, holding a big carton of milk in one hand and a sharing oatmeal in the other, pouring a mouthful of cereal and pouring a mouthful of milk, and watching it like this, and crying so much at the end that you would never want to see what I was like at that time. โ€

"You're crying again, this time for what?"

"The point is that I don't know ...... either," Theorod laughed self-deprecatingly, his eyes slightly red for some reason, "maybe it's thinking of previous experiences, maybe it's the actor's acting too well, maybe it's Corleone's broken family that makes people feel distressed, blah blah blah." In fact, to be honest, every time I watch "The Godfather", I always have a different feeling, and every time I watch "The Godfather", my eyes will be moist, and I will watch other movies like this, like a cowardly crybaby. Stand in front of those cinematic arts...... Really, maybe you can't understand it, maybe a lot of people can't understand it, I think I'm like a tiny and insignificant speck of dust that I'm willing to be conquered by them, willing to be a crybaby. โ€

"I think that's why I'm able to get back on my feet again. Even though I'm just a poor kid in a chaotic neighborhood, and even though I know it's impractical, I really, really, really can't ignore what I really want, and I can't control it, just like I can't control myself from tears. My friend doesn't understand me, I don't blame him, he doesn't support me and even he convinces me not to daydream, that', that'sok, because it's my dream, and everyone's dream can't always be understood by other people. โ€

"At that moment, I decided to come here, to come to Los Angeles, to come to Hollywood. โ€

"Everybody thinks I can't because I'm not from a professional background, I don't have any acting experience, I'm just a bad boy, and my good friend also told me that I went to Los Angeles to find death, and I knew he cared about me because the reality was cruel. But I had to try, I could lock myself in my room for months away from the powder for my dreams, or I could come to Los Angeles alone for my dreams. Man, dreams are not a slogan to be said casually, it requires action. โ€

Theolod spoke, pausing, and the applause and encouraging whistles from the audience instantly overpowered his voice. He tried to speak several times, but failed, and finally Lightman had to open his mouth and made a gesture of pressing his hands down, and the audience gradually quieted down.

"And then you're sitting here and slapping people who have denied you and saying, 'Hey, sluts, do you see?' isn't it cool?" Mr. Letterman said.

"yes, right now, I'm sitting in front of David Lightman, and then shaking my hand at the camera," Theolod waved at the camera, "hi, bit*ches~"

"Okay, now it's time for us to add silence. โ€

"Maybe I can do it myself, [bee] ches?"

The originally heavy atmosphere was made by Theorod like this, which made everyone clap their legs and laugh. And Letterman also slapped the table and looked at Theorod with a smile: "Ok, ok, I now believe that you must have been a bad boy before, but, seriously, why did you suddenly decide to tell these things? โ€

"Well, because I want you to know more about me, and I won't hide what I've done, especially since I've corrected it. Now there are always people who say that I am a little gentleman, a warm man, a sunny boy, but that's a little wrong, isn't it? I'm a human being, and people always have flaws, no one is perfect, and I'm happy to let others see my flaws, so they can understand that Theorod, who they like, is just a real person, not a perfect virtual character who is over-packaged, and I don't want to be sorry for my fans. โ€

"Anyway, Theo, I have to admit that now that I'm talking to you like this, I think I'm turning a fan of you passers-by. Letterman shook hands with Theolod, "I'll join your fan forum when I get back, let me think about the nickname, the missing glasses?

"Hey, so you weren't a fan of mine before, David, you really make me sad," Theolod made an exaggerated sad expression, "By the way, I think the nickname 'David who makes Theo sad' is good." โ€

"Yes, folks, that's the nickname my idol Theolod Lecht gave me!" said Letterman, laughing first, and Theolod laughed with him.

In the early morning of the same day, Theorod's fan forum did add a "David who made Theo sad", and countless netizens tried their best to pick up the vest, but this David was beaten to death and did not admit who he was, and over time, people directly defaulted to David Letterman, and then the guests on the show would also tease Letterman when they talked about Theorod and this matter.

Of course, that's an afterthought.

Marshall, who had been backstage, watched Theorod easily mobilize the audience, accurately controlling their tears and laughter, watching the audience sometimes red for his eloquent narration and magnetic voice, and sometimes laughing at his optimistic self-deprecation and amusement. Before the show started, he didn't leave because he was afraid that Theolod wouldn't be able to deal with saying something wrong, and now it seems that his worries are a bit too much.

"Good boy, good boy, you're such a good boy, you're doing a great job of diverting attention, and now everyone is so moved by your persistence and dreams, and drug addiction has become a backdrop for your dreams, who the still has the heart to hold on to your black history? I think only those little newspapers that just want to sell gossip do that. Marshall patted Theolod on the shoulder with relief afterwards, "Seriously, I was so moved by you that I almost cried, why did you never tell me about this past? โ€

"You never asked. Theorod, who sold a bowl of chicken soup for the soul, shrugged his shoulders.

"But you didn't say you had a 'friend'. Is that guy really reliable? Doesn't talk nonsense, does you? You know, sometimes human vanity is terrible, and they do anything to get in the newspapers. If the reporter finds ......"

"He?" Theolod thought of Nattell, thought of the conversation between the two of them on his birthday, and couldn't help but smile lightly and wave his hand, "He's not that kind of bad friend. โ€

"I hope so. Marshall still doesn't seem to believe that Theorod's friend from the bad boy period can be any better.

The next day, the front pages of major entertainment newspapers were once again contracted by Theorod, and countless reporters talked about Theorod's past, and some small newspapers did hold on to the fact that he had taken drugs, but the vast majority of people were moved by his spirit of chasing his dreams.

This is the United States, and what Americans love to see most is the topic of the American dream, and the dream will never fade, as long as it exists, it will always touch generations after generations.

"Actually, I've touched that thing too, and of course, it's clean now, but I'm using the help of the drug rehab center. So I know how much perseverance a person has to do if he wants to do it with his own efforts. โ€

"Everyone has a black past of one kind or another, but the point is not to be swallowed up by darkness and sink into the past, but to come out bravely. I'm not a fan of Theo, but I was really touched by him. โ€

"He has always been a good boy who is filial and friendly, gentle and gentle, as all the staff on the set who have been with him can attest. As for filial piety...... Just look at the premiere of "First Degree Fear". And I think I can understand his helplessness and helplessness at first...... Anyone who has been to North Las Vegas and lived in the Balzarave. neighborhood or the N.28thst. neighborhood will understand. โ€

Theo is right, everyone has the right to dream, and the key to dreams lies in practice rather than slogans. Needless to say, I have to work hard for my dreams. โ€

"I didn't expect my Theo to have such a painful past, little angel don't cry, keep smiling, you are the best!"

"Theo, I'm going to marry you!Marry me!Marry me!"

"I'm a man...... But I don't know why, I really like this boy......"

โ€œโ€ฆโ€ฆโ€

And the so-called extortion has long disappeared with Theorod's self-explosion.

And, a month after the broadcast of this episode of "The Late Show with David Letterman", Theolod received his third film job -

"Hello, Mr. Lecht, I'm Mari Kohon, would you be interested in playing a rivalry with your spiritual guide?"
