Chapter 61: A disgusting game

Jason didn't know exactly what kind of magic Theorod was working on, but he did feel that his play was more natural when he was standing with Theorod. The other Jason (Fleming) and Fletcher seemed to feel the same way as him, sitting in their chairs and looking at Richie, who was gesturing to Theolod not far away. Theolod hugged his chest, nodded frequently, and walked back and forth around the erected ring, perhaps trying to find a suitable angle for Richie.

"I heard that guy has recently become famous in the United States because of his pressure drama." Fletcher said that he entered the entertainment industry at the age of ten, and he can be said to be the oldest actor in the entire crew, and naturally knows some entertainment reporters better than others. ”

"You mean Level 1 Fear?" Fleming glanced at him, "I can see the free play, as for the pressure play?" Maybe those Yankees are too squeamish. Believe it or not, if Eddie wasn't German-Italian, but an authentic American, a white American, what do you think they would say? ”

"Oh! This is a unique genius in the history of American cinema! This is a symbol of our Hollywood talent! This also proves that only the United States is the cradle of film and television! Jason exaggerated in a Y accent, the strange uplift that made him look a little funny with his serious expression, and his words made the other two laugh.

For some reason, in dealing with the issue of pressure drama, these people tacitly stood on a united front with Theorod.

"However, it is true that there are too many talents in the film and television industry in Hollywood." Joking, Jason looked at Theolod as he made the final preparations for the next shot, and his tone was a little indifferent, "If I have the chance, I think I'll go to Hollywood and have a look - maybe I'll start with the bad guys." ”

Most of the Britons in Hollywood will start as villains, and I don't know where this comes from, the villains in Hollywood movies must be Britons with British accents, mafia except Russians with Russian accents, Italians, no matter how bad they are, they have to be French or Mexican.

"Come on, man, with your stature, if you go to Hollywood, it might be an action movie." Fletcher pinched Jason's shoulder, this guy looks very thin in clothes, I didn't expect this hand to go down, pinching all the hard muscles, no wonder Theolod would add a shoulder patting action just now, because this feeling is really good, "I'm so envious." ”

"Brother, if you want a good figure, you can come to me, I can take you to exercise every day." Jason raised his fist and made a wrestling gesture.

On the other hand, Theorod is about to usher in the second act of his day. The clapperboard was ready, Richie was clearing the room, and the stylist was standing in front of Theorod, arranging his clothes and hairstyle. Two minutes later, everyone exits the camera, and the crucial card game in the film officially begins.

The moment Richie shouted "Start", Theolod turned back into Eddie again. He had just pushed the door open and walked in, wearing a black coat with a striped shirt underneath it. He greeted everyone in the room very naturally but very arrogantly, and the confidence between his eyebrows was full of emotion, and he could see it at a glance in front of the camera without too many words.

Eddie rarely loses playing cards, and he thinks that this time, he will not be able to lose, and soon, a large sum of money will be in his pocket, and he can make a lot of money - in these few hours!

But it is also self-confidence, put on the previous Kevin Romez, this kind of self-confidence is a kind of arrogance and pride of a victorious general, and it is a kind of ease. And now on Eddie, somehow, it has become a kind of smug like a villain, after all, Eddie is just an ordinary little person who has nothing to do on the street.

Theolod shows the difference between the two self-confidence of these two different characters at a glance, obviously the same type of emotion, but he can use subtle facial expressions to create two diametrically opposed characters. Richie can't see Theorod's shadow at all in Eddie, if he hadn't known what kind of person Theorod was, I'm afraid he would have mistakenly thought that Eddie's little character mentality was his true colors.

Of course, just a little self-confidence is not enough.

The plot quickly advanced to the card game stage, and I saw Eddie sitting in place, and suddenly took out a toothpick out of nowhere and put it in his mouth. Seeing the others looking at each other inexplicably, Eddie just cracked his mouth and smiled lightly, and said to everyone: "With a lady present, smoking is a bit inappropriate, what do you think?" ”

Immediately, one of the actors holding a cigarette prop in his hand looked a little embarrassed and subtle, he looked at the lady who was a dealer, and then at Eddie, who was holding a toothpick like a cigarette, silently pressed the cigarette on the table, and pinched the cigarette.

“cut! Very good! Taya, I like the expression you just made, and again, I'll take a few more details. Rich waved his hand and motioned for the photographer to move the camera.

At the beginning of the game, in order to make the trap bigger, Eddie has been in a state of constant winning. This is a common set of tricks in the game, first let the other party continue to win money to relax their vigilance, driven by money he will mistakenly think that he is very lucky today, more and more generous, step by step into the trap set by the dealer, followed by an all-in, so that the other party lost all his money.

The game itself was set up by Harry, who coveted Add's father's bar, and they cheated in the game, of course, so that Eddie lost so much that he didn't even have his underwear left, and finally obediently handed over the bar. So in the beginning, in order for this playing genius to let his guard down, they had to let him win.

But Add had no idea what was going to happen next.

"Guys, did you really decide not to follow?" Eddie leaned back in his chair and chewed on the toothpick in his mouth, a hint of defiance in his words. However, compared to his tone, his eyes were calm, showing a sharp blue under the conditions of direct lighting, and he was watching everyone's reactions, while his brain was calculating the probability of winning the game at the moment.

His left hand was placed on the table at random, and a red chip kept jumping on the tips of his slender and slender fingers, tumbling from the little thumb to the index finger, and then suddenly disappearing from the index finger, and was quietly plucked to the other side by the thumb, and the little finger was lightly hooked, and then jumped lightly on the back of the hand.

Theolod added a little bit of chip, maybe it was what he thought Eddie was doing when he was playing cards, or maybe it was a little trick to distract his opponent - he was very good at playing, after all.

Not surprisingly, he won this game again.

Until the last round.

This time, his hand wasn't good at all. However, Eddie knew that he couldn't put negative emotions such as nervousness on his face, but he looked around and noticed that everyone else's expressions seemed to be a little more relaxed than his own, which put a lot of pressure on him. And that pressure was evident in his movements, which had been tumbling smoothly on the tips of his fingers, and suddenly stuttered.

At the moment when the chip was about to drop on the table, Eddie quickly grabbed it with his index finger and thumb, and then casually tapped the chip on the table, trying to hide his panic mistake. He could have exited the hand, he had won enough, but he didn't think it was enough - he could at least bluff, as long as he looked natural enough to make a cautious person quit, especially if they had lost their cards.

So, Eddie began to increase the price, and someone withdrew, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

But Harry, the lender, kept his tongue on the line, and he even offered to borrow money if Eddie didn't have enough money.

Add stopped tapping his chips on the table as if he were tapping on the table, and he narrowed his beautiful blue-green eyes slightly, staring at the other man silently. There was no sound of chips, no talking, and there was silence on the set, and gradually, Eddie began to roll the chips silently with his fingers again, and the speed was getting faster and faster.

This quiet as if time stood still and the high-speed tumbling of bright red chips, one static and one moving, fast and one slow, is in stark contrast. A strange, unknown aura began to permeate the entire game from Add. He's struggling, that's obvious, his frowning brow and far-fetched smile prove it. He didn't know where the other party's confidence came from, and he was even a little fearless, he wasn't sure that this was the other party's bluff, but he couldn't deny it, if he was wrong, he would lose all his money, and his friends and father would be affected.

If he doesn't, everything he pressed out before will be gone, and if he loses, he will owe Harry half a million, but if he wins......

Eddie's hand fiddling with the red chips suddenly stopped, and he took the toothpick from his mouth and quickly threw the chips out.

At the moment when the other party revealed his hole cards, the toothpick that Eddie pinched in his hand was broken in half by him - the other party's cards are very bad, very bad, under normal circumstances, people who get this kind of bad cards will not follow up, but the bad cards are still bigger than their own rotten cards.

The other party seems to know that his bad cards must be better than his...... He's been trapped!

Add's face was bloodless.

Richie, who was on the side, immediately asked the gaffer to shine a bright light on Theorod's face. If a normal person's eyes suddenly encounter a bright light, they will reflexively close their eyes or frown, which is what Richie emphasized to Theorod before, he needs Theorod to maintain his original expression, not to frown, let alone close his eyes.

At that time, Theolod nodded easily, so relaxed that he didn't even take it to heart. At that time, Richie was still a little worried in his heart, because he knew that instinctive reactions were not so easy to control.

However, at this moment, Theorod actually did it!

Under the strong light that made the pores on his face clear, Eddie seemed to have been immersed in the blow and couldn't extricate himself, his eyes were glazed, he couldn't believe it, he was desperate, like a victim who had fallen into a valley, he had just climbed the cliff along the vine, and he was only one step away from seeing the light of day, but he didn't want to think that in the next second, the vine would break, and the victim would fall into the abyss unexpectedly, and fall to pieces.

At that moment, it was dark.

"Beautiful!" After shouting to stop, Rich threw down the camera directly, rushed to Theorod, hugged Theorod's head, who had not yet recovered from Eddie's state of mind, and pulled him down without saying a word, kissing his eyes, "Your eyes are so beautiful, I can't wait to tie a camera to your body and slap your face...... Wait, why not? Why not! Pike, I need a DV! I need a DV! ”

“…… Director, where can I find a DV with you now? Rich's on-set assistant looked helplessly at his director.

"I don't care, I don't listen for any reason, you have to find me a DV, or any camcorder, that's the command!" Richie roared.

“…… Cover. Theorod let out a low cry.

And Richie's attitude couldn't be better in the blink of an eye, so that the assistant slapped his palm on the forehead and shook his head helplessly - "What's the problem, Theo?" You say, I'll listen. ”

"I just think your face is blank." Theolod said, rubbing his eyes, which were somewhat dry from the bright light.

"Oh, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I promise that I won't shoot many more shots of that shot just now after a while, you go and take a break first, and I'll call you when I find the DV." Rich patted Theolod on the back and motioned for him to take a break in the actor's chair next to him.

Theolod nodded, walked to his chair, took the black tea handed over by the staff on the side, and looked at the liquid inside, but a strange feeling of nausea rose in his stomach.

In a high-pressure environment, when a person is in a state of extreme tension and panic, he may experience physiological vomiting, which is a kind of physical self-protection consciousness. Theorod knew that, of course, and, hell, he felt like he was going to throw up right now, too. In a hurry, he put the fragrant black tea aside, picked up the script in disguise, and sat in place naturally.

After that, Pike was very efficient in finding a DV, and Rich immediately found a pole to tie to the DV, and then tied the pole to Theorod's body to let the shot repeat.

Theorod, who had been forcibly suppressing the feeling of vomiting, almost didn't have to enter the play, and found that nervous and uncomfortable feeling, so much so that when he later filmed the scene where Barry threatens Eddie on the street corner to pay back the money, he didn't need any props, and Theorod naturally let out a "wow" and vomited.

It was a real vomit, and my stomach felt like a river and a sea.

At that moment, Theolod thought that maybe it was time for him to take two pills.
