In the cold and dim basement, a group of men with wounded faces and restless were gathered. They gathered on one side of the basement, some smoking cigarettes, some moving their hands and feet.

In the script, this is the basement of a bar and the headquarters of the Fight Club. As the plot progresses, Fincher's requirements for group performances become higher and higher, and in his eyes, the formation and development of the fight club is a brainwashing process, a process for Taylor to master their thinking step by step, and over time, these people should not just express their curiosity and interest in joining the club in the first place.

He asked them to create an obsessive frenzy of the fight club that they were a part of, and he needed them to show this inseparable or indispensable addiction, and they had to be aggressive, like beasts in human skin, with a yearning for flesh and blood in their eyes.

In less than five seconds, Finch took more than 30 shots, and he even used rock music on the set to cheer up their spirits.

It wasn't until the end that he was satisfied with the restlessness and ferocity of the group of people, and motioned for the crew to take a set of shots. He was not worried at all that this group of people was too excited, which would make the atmosphere unbearable, after all, the next set of shots belonged to Taylor, and he believed that Theolod's Taylor would definitely suppress the restlessness of the audience in an instant.

Sure enough, when the frivolous man walked down the stairs, he instantly attracted everyone's attention. Taylor let Jack go down first, and he walked down the stairs slowly and lazily, as if he were lazy, and the gum in his mouth blew a bubble, and he raised his right hand, raised his index finger, and said in a muffled voice:

"The number of people in our club has been increasing lately, please analyze the above proposition. ”

The already illegible Texas accent became more indistinct in this state, perhaps because he didn't understand it, and more likely because he didn't know how to answer to satisfy the moody Taylor, and for a moment the crowd fell silent, and they quietly watched their organizers, and after eating the bubbles, they took off their leopard-print coats, revealing muscular arms and white vests that were clinging to the body that vaguely outlined the muscles of the chest and abdomen.

“…… Does that mean we have a lot of friends?"

"Good start, and then?" Taylor, who had his back to everyone, waved nonchalantly as he casually threw his coat on the chair in the corner, and it was impossible to detect whether he really cared about the question he had just asked.

As if encouraged, a blonde man in the crowd stared intently at Taylor's side face and exclaimed, "Our influence has also increased." ”

Hearing this, Finch was stunned, turned his head and whispered to his assistant: "What is the name of this kid who plays the 'angel face'?"

The assistant immediately flipped through the information: "Jared Leto, who has been playing a supporting role in a cameo role since 1995's "Love Weaves Dreams". ”

"Help me remember him. This guy has a good on-the-spot reflexes, fitting the scene and the character, and Theo must have noticed this...... That's right, Taylor laughed. Finch looked at the shot and touched his chin in satisfaction.

The blonde man's words were echoed by all, and they coped with a playful smile. And Taylor finally had a little reaction, the corners of his mouth suddenly flashed a light smile of unknown meaning, turned around and leaned against the pillar, he didn't pay attention to the man who made him smile just now, just looked at the crowd, but his eyes didn't have a clear landing point, as if he was looking at everyone, and as if he didn't care about anyone.

"And?" Taylor slipped out his tone lazily, and he seemed to be smiling, as if he was very satisfied with the current development of the fight club, but those elusive eyes, in the dim and gloomy darkness, gradually turned into an unfathomable dark green.

The crowd that was still laughing and cheering fell silent for a moment. Their organizers were obviously laughing, but they didn't feel any laughter, but an inexplicable chill that rose from the soles of their feet and made people's scalps tingle.

"This means that many of you have failed to comply with the first two of the rules - no mention of fight clubs. Seeing that the crowd was quiet again, the smile on Taylor's face finally disappeared, replaced by a helpless look between regret and displeasure, "But what I regret more is not the club's violators, but the increasing number of members of the club, twenty-eight, this number, there are twenty-eight newcomers in total." Do you think it's a good thing that we get so many new friends?"

The anger in Taylor's expression was not obvious, and it was not even related to anger at all. His voice was not loud, but it was heavy, and in the silent basement it was like the ancient bells of a thousand-year-old monastery, striking the hearts of the people again and again.

In the crowd at this moment, the initial restlessness can no longer be found, only the silence and silence are left.

Taylor's aura is progressive, he slowly grabbed everyone's attention, quietly penetrated into everyone's hearts, step by step, until the final calm outburst -

"Who remembers why we started the fight club in the first place?" Taylor walked into the light, the white cold light helped him block out the darkness behind him, making him stand under the light, like a saint, "We are not here to experience the thrill of fists to the flesh, not to be violent for the sake of violence. We are here because the land under our feet is the only sacred place where we can find ourselves. ”

"I've seen the toughest, smartest people here, but you're still here, why? because you're restricted, your talents, your potential are wasted. Think about it, why did you join the club? Think about it, what are you all doing?"

"Cheering people at the gas station, serving food to others at the restaurant, your boss is like a dog to you, washing cars, mopping floors, driving, sweeping the streets...... This is what makes your wasted potential die, and you work so hard to buy the useless products that advertisers tempt you to consume. Is it a good thing that the repression of life has brought you here, the growing number of people? No, the numbers are just a silent indictment to us of how pathetic the world we live in. ”

Theolod's movement keeps him under the lights, a hint that Taylor is the center of the stage here, and that he uses his charisma and speaker-like tone to make all the extras reverently look at their "center stage" even in the face of his free play.

Taylor, who had caught everyone's attention, had slowly walked over to the blonde man who had spoken earlier, and he glanced at the people around him, and he saw a heartfelt approval on their faces.

"We grew up living in a kind of hypocritical deception, watching TV as children, watching novels and books, and we thought that when we grew up, we would become millionaires, movie stars, rock stars...... Gradually, forced by this so-called life, this expectation and dream has become a kind of false dream bubble brought to us by the material society, numbly living, numbly working for others, and we have become a forgotten generation. ”

"There is no goal, there is no status, there is no world war, there is no economic crisis...... Our war is all around us, it is the root cause of your escape here to vent, and the real crisis is hidden in our numb life. Taylor's soothing voice echoed in everyone's heart, he saw what no one here had ever seen, he saw the pain of a generation that had been abandoned at the end of the twentieth century, and this pain broke through the hearts of all with the explosion of his final gum bubble.

He finally turned to look at the man with blond hair and blue eyes and an angelic face.

"We don't need influence. "What we need is a revolution." ”

The word "yes!-""" mixed with the long-suppressed anger in the hearts of the people exploded in this moment, and they cheered and waved their fists like a group of fighters willing to fight for Taylor to the end.

The blonde man did not echo the others, he seemed to be moved into deep thought by Taylor's words and the last glance Taylor looked at him, and then he looked up at their leader, and walked out of the back of the crowd with his hands in his pockets amid the restless cries of the crowd.

"Fight Club No. 1 rule, don't talk about ......"

Finch gestured at this point, representing cut. The next plot is that the owner of the bar, Lu, knows that Taylor and Jack are openly occupying his territory for a rally, so he brings his thugs to settle accounts with Taylor. Taylor stood up for his own people, and with a rogue madness, he managed to get the bar's basement out of Lou's hands, and further cemented his position in the hearts and minds of the members of the fight club.

"Theo, a great speech, Edward, I like the evil look on your face, and Leto?" Finch paused for a moment when he called the name, and only smiled when Leto looked over, "Well done." Everybody's great, so keep it that way, take a fifteen-minute break, and then we'll move on to the next shot. ”

Finch's foul-eyed pause was clearly intended to make Leto nervous for a moment - after all, he didn't have any lines in this scene in the script, but he was induced by Theorod to add such a sentence without permission - but Theorod found that there was no element of nervousness or uneasiness in Leto's look at Finch, but rather a kind of naturalness.

It seems that this guy has a very good personality, Theolod thought so, and looked up to see the man he classified as "personality", holding his own chair, walking straight towards him, and judging by his expression, he seemed to have something wrong.

"Hello, Taylor, may I move the chair over here?" he asked, gesturing to the clearing next to Theorod.

"Absolutely. Theorod smiled and nodded, "Well, you can call me Theo like everyone else." ”

"Jared Leto. Leto put down his chair and held out his hand to Theorod, "Leto, Jared, Red, Jerry, Tom...... Call it whatever you want, but the last one I'm joking. ”

Letto makes a joke about the "Tom and Jerry" animation, and Theorod discovers that when he laughs, his big blue eyes are much softer, making them look particularly good.

"Oh, I just wanted to choose Tom, and it looks like I'm going to have to choose Jerry. "I'm glad you took my words, otherwise I'd have to think about what I'd do if no one answers." ”

"I just thought that this innocent and innocent angel face would answer like this, you see, he doesn't have many scenes and words in the script, but anyone with a discerning eye can see that this guy adores and is loyal to Taylor. Leto said as a matter of course, and seeing Theorod's smiling and silent expression, he immediately reacted and laughed again, "Oh, I see, you can see it, so Taylor is just waiting for him to say this, right?"

Theorod shrugged, "Who knows? Taylor seems purposeful and capricious. ”

Leto thought for a moment, unscrewed his water bottle, and finally said what he meant: "Actually, Taylor said that my brother and I have always wanted to make a band and do rock 'n' roll. ”

"But the question is, when the record companies see you, they want you to go the pop idol route?"

"Again, Taylor. Leto was slightly stunned, and then teased, "But no matter what they think, if they don't want to pay me to do rock and roll, then I'll make money by filming." Luckily, the next development didn't get into Taylor's words, the money was about the same, and I was working on our first album. ”

Leto's dream of starting a rock band instead of acting didn't surprise Theolod at all, after all, this is Los Angeles, and amphibious stars say more and less, but Theorod is somewhat curious about whether this fair-looking man can go further in his rock.

"Then I'm going to buy a copy of your album and tell me, what's your band called, and how many songs are you going to record on that first album?"

"Thirty seconds to Mars, the name that made my brother and me think about it for a long time at first, and we searched through the names of known planets throughout the Milky Way. As for how many songs to record,...... Leto said, pausing slightly, looking at Theorod, "maybe twelve, maybe thirteen, but in fact it hasn't been decided yet, because the one that has not been decided, I'm going to name it 'Theorod Lecht.'" ”

Use his name as the title of the song to customize a song for him? Theolod was a little surprised, even if he was a human being in two lives, he had never encountered such a situation - most songwriters would choose actresses as the background for songs.

"My name? You want my permission? It's rare, but before that, can I know why?"

"Why? Let me think...... Probably because it's cool. "Don't you think you're cool?" you see, you look just like me, and you always make people think you're a good baby, and a lot of times you're very easy-going in public. ”

"But look at your experience, look at your selection, man, you're a cool guy, you're very individual, even rebellious, that's why you're deaf to the outside world's questioning, you're going to choose films to your liking, you've even blatantly opposed public opinion in the past week, I admire you a little, this is a

"Not to mention your attitude toward ideals on The Late Show with David Letterman a few years ago, those words that I still remember to this day. I guess that's why. Letto paused, then repeated earnestly, "That's why." ”
