Theolod walked to his car, having recently spent extra time getting a driver's license and buying a mobility scooter - he couldn't have asked Herman to pick him up everywhere. He was going to go back and take a good shower to get rid of the smell of cigarettes, but he was stopped by a man halfway through.

"Sorry to excuse me, sir. The other party said that his hands were in his trouser pockets, and he looked a little restrained and nervous.

The street lights on the street were not bright, and Theolod glanced at the other party several times before remembering who the other party was, he was the "police officer" who had just led the four "policemen" in, and the stripper who was dancing in front of Chloe.

"Oh, Channing, right? You didn't leave with your buddies?

"Are you...... I mean, I recognize you, you're Theorod Lecht, right?" The other party took a step closer, he was about the same height as Theorod, but much stronger than him, and his words were a little ambiguous, which made him a little more aggressive.

The other party also realized Theorod's silence, so he said: "Please don't get me wrong, I don't have any ill intentions, and I won't show off to my friends or others that I see you, I just ...... You see, I actually admire you, man, you're my idol, of course it's not that kind of idol, it's another, how can you say it? Do you remember that episode of "The David Lightman Late Show"? I thank you, Mr. Lechte, that your words have inspired a lot of people like me, after all, I can't do this for the rest of my life, I don't want to stay in Tampa for the rest of my life, I want to come to Hollywood. ”

"I congratulate you on finding your dreams and goals, friend. The other party stood there and told him a little embarrassed, which made Theorod smile, "You don't have to thank me, because in the end it was you, not me, who made you decide." But you didn't just come to me to say thank you, right? There were more than 20 people at the party, and the host of the party who invited you was a director, but you recognized me who deliberately wore a hat. ”

Theorod's words made a trace of embarrassment flash across the other party's face.

"yes, I just wanted to ......"

"You want my help. ”

“…… That's right. ”

"You see, I'm not a saint, and your past as a stripper is a bit tricky for Hollywood people......" said Theorod, telling the truth, because Hollywood is a hard-hit area of all kinds of discrimination, and this kid's background must not please him.

But Channing thought that the other party was refusing politely: "...... Well, I know, it's nothing, after all, you really don't have a reason to help me, but I really won't give up, and I think I'll find an opportunity to quit my job at the club and come to Los Angeles......"

"Then, I'll introduce you to Marshall, my agent. ”

"What?"

Channing was suddenly a little unacceptable to this twist and turn, and he looked at the man who was two years older than him in surprise, not knowing how to react.

"I said I'll introduce you to my agent, his agency is just starting out, he just happens to lack stars, as for whether he will sign you, it's up to you. There may be a lot of people in Hollywood who look down on you because of your past, but that doesn't matter to me. It's his business card, and when you move here, you can call him and the rest is up to you...... I think he'll let you start with a graphic model first. ”

“…… Thank you so much!"

"It's nothing, maybe I'll have to ask you to teach me how to dance in the future?" Theorod smiled, "It's not early, you should go back early, it's not safe for your child to wander the streets at night, do you need me to give you a ride?"

"No, thank you, I'll let my friend wait for me. Channing gestured to a white van on the other end.

As the premiere of "Devil's Advocate" approaches, entertainment newspapers around the world have begun to come alive again, and film critics are also gearing up, waiting for the legendary Theolod and Pacino's acting feast. Judging from the fact that Pacino usually doesn't like to praise people, his evaluation of Theorod does not seem to be hype, and Theorod's acting skills are indeed the best among the younger generation, there is no doubt about it.

Therefore, the focus of these film critics gradually shifted from whether the acting skills of the two are very different, and whether Theolod will drag down Pacino, to the film itself. Everyone knows how unflattering religious themes are in the audience, and their appetites have long been raised too delicately, and they have long been tired of the mode of preaching, and many times movies that involve religion will always end up in a thankless situation, who knows if this time "Devil's Advocate" is also this model?

"The excellence of acting skills does not mean the excellence of the movie, and the success of acting can only represent the personal level of the actors, not the level of directors and screenwriters. Sean Thorpe said as if referring to something else.

However, "Devil's Advocate" does have another advantage, that is, among the films released in October, there are few films that can compete with it for the weekly box office title, except for "A Thousand Shots", which is released next to it on October 24, other films have almost no threat to it.

"A Thousand Shots" is just the debut of a guy named Andrew Nicole who wrote and directed himself, and if it were placed in normal times, these arrogant film critics would naturally not take his work as a Hollywood newcomer seriously, nor would they compare it to "The Devil's Advocate". But in this new debut, Uma Thurman and Ethan Hawke are involved.

Uma Thurman was the most perfect goddess in the minds of almost all men in the twentieth century, she was tall and charming, her face as delicate as an angel was like the purest and most delicate flower in the world, but her blue eyes seemed to contain a sensual and seductive enough to kill. But she is not just a vase to be seen from afar, her talent in acting is no less than that of any actress, in fact, she has won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress, God seems to have put all the perfection of the woman he can create on her, she is God's favorite, and one of the most beautiful women Hollywood has ever seen.

Although Ethan Hawke did not win an Oscar like Uma Thurman, he also had a lot of status in the hearts of female fans at the end of the twentieth century, especially those who liked literary romances. His handsomeness is not conspicuous, and he also has a melancholy and introverted temperament, the charming, funny and affectionate Jesse in "Love at Dawn" almost captured the hearts of thousands of literary and artistic girls who pursue romantic love almost the moment the movie is released. Although Ethan Hawke disappeared from Hollywood for two years after that, it still didn't change his status in the hearts of these fans.

With the addition of these two actors, coupled with the definition of science fiction in the film itself, "A Thousand Shots" will become a dark horse in the October file in the eyes of some film critics, and it can attract not only geeks who are interested in science fiction films, but also ordinary male groups, as well as literary film lovers (especially women).

And what about "Devil's Advocate"? cult movie fans, Al Pacino's older generation of fans, teenagers who love Theolod? From the perspective of audience, it seems that "A Thousand Shots" has a wider audience than "Devil's Advocate".

Coupled with the fact that the two films were released one after the other, there was almost no difference in time between the box office, which made the group of film critics who were waiting to see the excitement start to gear up and wait for the upcoming October 23.

“…… Charlize Theron will arrive on the red carpet in 10 minutes, and the film will arrange for you to walk the red carpet show together, after Al Pacino and Connie Nelson. Nattell, who was sitting in the passenger seat, closed his notebook, turned to Theorod in the back seat, and said, then glanced at the speedometer, "We can get there with Theron." ”

"Okay, grandma, you'll be with Nattle later, and he'll take you straight around the red carpet, through the staff passage, and I'll meet you when you enter the theater. Theorod patted the back of Maggie's hand and instructed. "Herman, you'll be back to pick us up in about two and a half hours. ”

Maggie, who has lived a comfortable life in the past few years, has recovered a lot, although her hair has long been gray, she doesn't look old at all, and her wrinkled face is a little more rosy. The day before the premiere, Theorod asked Maggie about her wishes and asked her if she would like to be his female companion to accompany him on the red carpet, but Maggie said that she had gained a lot of weight in recent years, and she didn't look good in a dress, so she was embarrassed to stand next to Theorod.

Although in Theorod's eyes, Maggie is still his most beautiful grandmother, but he can't resist Maggie, who has a child's temper, and the red carpet doesn't look long and he has to keep posing and showing his most perfect posture, and it is indeed a torture for Maggie to walk down the whole way, so he had to talk to the filmmaker in advance and ask Natel to bring Maggie in.

However, after a while, Theorod and Theron's cars arrived in front of the red carpet one after the other. Theolod tidied up his clothes, got out of the car, came to Theron's car, opened the car door for the lady, and reached out to help Theron out of the car, who had not been seen for a long time: "Long time no see, Marianne." ”

"Long time no see, Kevin. The moment he took Theolod's hand, Theron smiled at him. She dressed on the red carpet today like Milton's advice to Marianne in the play, with her long hair all rolled up, wearing a black bandeau dress, revealing a slender white neck and sexy collarbones, looking bright and moving, which makes people can't take their eyes off it.

And Theolod also changed his style at this time, he wore a burgundy coat, the inner coat was a black crewneck shirt, and a square scarf was tied around his neck, he looked more casual and casual than formal. For many people, the burgundy blazer is to be thrown into the box forever and avoided from the zài, because this color is too difficult to grasp like a pure white suit, and a careless will wear it out of a tacky style, but I don't know if Theorod's hanger-like figure is too perfect, or his chameleon-like temperament allows him to control any style, in short, at this moment he is like a model walking on the street and posing for unrestrained and unrestrained photos.

But this kind of unrestrainedness that should have clashed with Theron's cold and noble temperament tonight and did not match it, was placed on the two people holding hands, and there was surprisingly no sense of disobedience. If Theron is like the dignified and beautiful aristocratic lady raised in the boudoir, then Theorod is like a casual knight who disturbs the heart of the aristocratic lady, and as soon as the two appear on the red carpet, they provoke countless flashes.

"It seems that they really thought we had a mysterious relationship. Theron looked at the reporters who excitedly crowded forward to ask about the relationship between the two, and while smiling decently at the camera, she said to Theorod, who dutifully cooperated with Theron in his pose, "We will be dragged on by them for too long." ”

"It's just that you're too dazzling today, my lady. Theolod smiled with a twist of his eyes, and naturally signed the fans on both sides, but ignored the reporters who were crowding around. Then he folded his arms again and said to Theron, "Pretty people always have the right to be willful, and if you don't want to be pestered by them, I can escort you away, ma'am." ”

"It's better to be respectful than to obey, sir. Theron was amused by Theorod, who took his arm and threw the reporters aside without looking back.

Walking into the theater, Theorod apologizes to Theron and rendezvouses with Natel and Maggie. And at this time, they also ran into Pacino, who came in early.

"Nat, this should be your first contact with Al, right?" said Theolod that when he was recording "Jay Leno's Late Late Show" in New York, Nattle always staggered with Pacino for one reason or another, "What? Do you want me to help you meet the idol you call 'really handsome'?"

Theolod still remembers Nattel's evaluation of Pacino when the two watched "The Godfather", he thought that Nattel should like Pacino, but Nattel shook his head and refused, and stepped aside to find his position in the back row. This made Theolod a little confused about who Nattel's Hollywood idol really was.

As the critics arrived at the theater, the lights in the theater dimmed, and the Warner Bros. logo appeared on the dark screen.

Here we go.

Film critics and fans who were lucky enough to grab tickets to the premiere of the movie whispered in their hearts. They want to see how these two actors of the acting school will lose in the hands of a religious film.
