Chapter 96: Jack x Paparazzi
When Theolod began to speak at length, he seemed to have a magic that made people unable to take their eyes off it, leaving Chean stunned but unable to argue. For a moment, she even thought that Theorod was right, and that the revolution he spoke of might really remove the pressure of materialization.
Behind his seemingly lazy Texas accent is hidden is the temptation of seduction, and his eyes, those eyes that seem to be able to see through a qiฤ, seemingly crazy and really calm, are even more inescapable. At this time, Theolod is like a โกโก, making Chean still brainwashed and confused by his unique charm even though he knows that he is dangerous.
This is Taylor, a dangerous and prodigal ruffian, an extremely intelligent and extreme madman, who is good at controlling his "disciples" with his words, who is good at seducing others with his thoughts, and incites others with a very charismatic voice. His gestures are unruly and casual, and Theorod, who transforms his ruffian into a unique charm, makes him look less street ruffian, and more unpredictable and uncontrollable personality charm, coupled with his face and slender and perfect body, he simply brings together a qiฤ advantage and paranoia that Jack does not have.
Finch couldn't help but clench his fists, he saw Taylor, he didn't want to judge who was better between Theorod and Brad, he just knew that at this moment, he saw his Taylor, and he couldn't think of any role other than Taylor's role that would be more suitable for him.
He turned his head to look at Chean, hoping that he would communicate his wishes to the other with his eyes, but he found that Chean's attention was not on him. Finch laughed, for he had received an answer from Cheon's distraction, and he looked at Theorod again, his eyes burning as if he had seen some treasure.
"Maybe after you leave Hollywood, you can try to be a politician. Finch joked, "Okay, Theo, I apologize to you for my suspicions, it turns out that you can do a great job." It's just that I still have a question that I don't quite understand......"
Theolod had gradually withdrawn from the paranoid state just now and returned to nature. When the banter and sharpness in his eyes gradually receded, his whole temperament changed back to his own gentleness and unassuming, as if he had changed another person in an instant, and the initial sense of disobedience showed signs again.
"Please?" Theorod's voice changed back to his original tone and accent.
"You're ...... Where the hell did you get it?" said Fincher, laughing.
"Oh, this one was picked up from a thrift store, and it's less than ten dollars for this outfit all over the body, so it's a good deal, right?" Theolod tugged at the hole in his neckline, and accidentally tore the hole a little more.
Finch almost couldn't help but laugh at Theolod's action, and said, "I almost thought you got in touch with our costumer and asked her to contribute Taylor's backup wardrobe." You can create a Taylor for less than ten dollars, and our costumers are still struggling with how to make a shabby look from a new material. โ
"If they can be like you, maybe we'll save a little more. Chean also spoke, she looked at Finch, and seeing that Finch also nodded, she smiled at Theorod, "Well, you have successfully convinced us with your actions, I can't find a reason not to give Taylor to you, it's just a pity for Jack." โ
"Thank you, Ms. Chafin, Mr. Finch. I also know that Jack is a very good character, and playing him is also a challenge to his acting skills, after all, he is the main character, and he has to support the whole play, and also bring the audience into the film perfectly, but I also want to try different roles. Theolod said, and Chean and Finch nodded in agreement.
"So at the end of the day, Jack's selection is still a big problem. Finch said helplessly, "Jack has distressed me for a long time, before we wanted you to play Jack, Taylor looked for Brad Pitt, but unfortunately I haven't contacted Brad yet, Taylor was snatched away by you." โ
"So let Pete try Jack?" Cheon offered a suggestion.
Finch thought for a moment and shook his head: "No, he's not a good fit for Jack, he can't give me the feeling of Jack." โ
Theolod saw that the two of them seemed to be in deep thought, and for some reason, he suddenly thought of a candidate, but this person he had only met once, and there was no contact after that. He wasn't quite sure what the other party's acting skills were, after all, he hadn't seen him perform, but if he could have wowed at the interview at that time......
"May I say a few words?" said Theorod.
The two people on the other side looked at him, made a listening gesture, and motioned for him to continue.
"If you're really worried about Jack's candidate, I have someone here to recommend to you. I heard Mr. Finch say that it's because of Fear of the First Degree that you think Jack is a better fit for me?"
"Part of the reason, yes, and Kevin from Devil's Advocate also impressed me that I thought you fit into that type of role. Cheon replied.
"Then you must not miss him, Edward Norton. โ
"Edward Norton, who is he?" Chean looked at Finch, who shook his head at her, indicating that he didn't know.
"We met during the interview for "First Degree Fear", maybe you don't know much about him, after all, his latest two movies will not be released until mid to late this year, and I can't remember the specific time, after all, I didn't pay much attention to him. Theolod pondered, as if reminiscing.
"I think if I hadn't auditioned for 'Fear of the First Degree,' it wouldn't have been Matt Damon โ he's a really good actor, and I've always wanted to get to know him โ but Edward Norton. You can also ask Gregory or the interviewers who were there at the time as to whether or not I was telling the truth or not, and in fact when I first entered the room, they were the best candidate for Edward. โ
Cean and Finch couldn't help but be a little interested in Siorod's opinion of this little-known actor, and they planned to go and see the Edward Norton after agreeing a contract with Theorod's agent.
Walking out of the headquarters of Twentieth Century Fox, Theolod raised his head and looked at the clear and cloudless sky, and the big rock in his heart finally fell to the ground at that moment. He exhaled, and seemed to see a flash of flash in his peripheral vision, and he looked over to the big tree next to him, just in time to spot the sneaky paparazzi hiding behind the big tree.
Normally, there are one or two paparazzi hiding outside some famous film studios, and if they are lucky, they may be able to capture some celebrities entering and leaving the production company, and then it is logical that some celebrities and a well-known production company have frequent contact with the news of new film releases.
What fans want most is to see their favorite stars prolific, and although the stars have no right to reveal the news of the new film before the film company has spoken, they also need these paparazzi to help them promote, as for the production company, as long as those paparazzi do not enter their door, they have no right to drive away these guys, naturally, whether it is the doorman of the production company or the stars who want to keep a low profile, they turn a blind eye to these paparazzi squatting outside the production company.
The paparazzi saw that Theorod had found him, and he didn't want to continue hiding, perhaps because he was worried that the other party would deliberately avoid him and hide in the car, so he hurried to his side with a camera before Theorod didn't react.
In fact, Duke Mendes has not been able to dig up decent peripheral news or take exclusive photos for weeks, he is just a newcomer who has just entered the industry, and any industry that has anything to do with entertainment has a great rejection of novices, and the competitive pressure in the paparazzi industry is already very high, and no one wants to see another competitor around him.
Excluded by his predecessors, Duke couldn't find a bargain around the star's house at all, and in desperation, he could only choose to squat outside the production company like other unlucky paparazzi who were excluded and suppressed. It is impossible to see the scene of paparazzi gathering in this kind of place, so there is a great chance of grabbing the exclusive, but the relative probability of the exclusive news is very small, and there is often no peripheral news that can be sold for money for weeks or even months, so there is at most one paparazzi squatting outside these production companies.
That's why Duke rushed forward as soon as he saw Theorod. In the past few months, his income has been very little, and if he doesn't find some information that can be exposed, he can't even pay the rent.
Fortunately, he met Theolod, Duke secretly rejoiced in his heart, this child is known for his high emotional intelligence in dealing with the world, and his attitude towards paparazzi and reporters is also quite friendly and patient.
"Hello, Theo, does your appearance on Twentieth Century Fox mean that you will be working with them on a new film in the future?" Duke asked, somewhat excited, "and in the way you are dressed at the moment...... You've just been interviewed, right? Looks like this role is a bit ...... Different?"
"It's too early to make a decision, Mr. Journalist. "But it's been a busy year, and I love working." โ
"So, you're going to make another movie this year?"
"More than one, actually. โ
"Oh!" Duke sighed, "Keeping an average of two movies a year, you are probably the most dedicated actor, and you haven't thought about taking a few months off?"
"You're wrong, sir, filming is not hard for me at all, but I think it's when I'm acting that's when I'm happiest. โ
Duke wanted to ask a few questions, but before he could speak, a black sedan drove up to them, and a tall man in a leather jacket stepped out of the car, Duke secretly said bad when he saw him, he knew that this man was Theorod's assistant and bodyguard, and how kind Theorod was to these reporters, then how hostile this guy was to them.
"It's Theo's personal time and he doesn't give any interviews. "No, as soon as the man got out of the car, he said with a cold face, and by the way, he also brought Theolodra to his side, his cold and oppressive gaze made it difficult for Duke to speak for a while.
Seeing Theolod get into the car, Duke reluctantly yelled at the window: "You haven't been nominated for any awards this year, is that why you work so hard?"
However, no one answered him, and the black sedan drove fast, giving him a face of car exhaust.
Theolod looked back at the paparazzi who were standing there and said to Nattell, "Don't think I didn't know you wanted to bump into that poor guy just now." โ
"But I didn't, what a pity. Natel replied. No matter how soundproof the windows were, he could hear the paparazzi's last question, and at that point he literally almost spun the wheel and ran over the bastard.
"Why bother with a reporter's question. โ
Natel was silent, but when he saw some not-so-good remarks about Theorod in the newspaper the next day, he really regretted that he hadn't been able to crush the reporter at that time.
