On the second day of the broadcast of this issue of "The Daily Show", Twentieth Century Fox cooperated with Kraft Foods Company to launch the same series of peripheral biscuits, and also approached Amway Commodity Company to launch peripheral soaps, which shows that Twentieth Century Fox has long been ready to wait for his directors and leading actors to come to the stage to "sell".

Of course, the molds for these cookies were made separately by the crew, and they couldn't have taken the ones from Theolod and Norton, in fact, when the two finished recording the show, the staff sent by Twentieth Century Fox never saw them again, and he wanted to invite them to a bar for a drink, but in the blink of an eye, the two were gone.

Finch said that the two of them were young and finally talked about the old days and decided to go out on their own, drink and club, or something, and it would be good for the two old guys to go.

But...... He's also young...... The assistant, who had just turned thirty, cried inwardly that he didn't feel old at all, even though he looked ten years older than those two tender faces......

Theorod was on a plane the next day, and he had to spend the night in New York, so he asked Bennett to vacate his hotel room and move in at Norton's invitation to borrow his couch for the night. Bennett was of course panicked when he heard this, he remembered the voice of his boss gritting his teeth just now, he thought that maybe Natl was worried that Theorod would make a big news for him, so he forbade him to run around, and at this moment he ran out to spend the night, if Natl knew that he actually let Theorod out, then he would not have to tear him alive?

"Uh...... Theo...... We... We paid for it. Bennett persuaded with a bitter face, "Even if you cancel the room now, the hotel will not refund the money." ”

"That's right......" Bennett thought that he had succeeded in persuasion easily, and before he could rejoice, the other party's next sentence sent him to hell, "Well, you move to my luxurious room, and your single room will be empty, so that there will be less wasted money." ”

No!lord!he doesn't want to stay in a suite, he just wants you not to run away with Norton's little white face! If you run away, someone in Los Angeles will squeeze him out of his pitiful rest time on the grounds of his dereliction of duty! He doesn't want to be someone's sparring partner for a weekend boxing gym! Bennett crows and wrinkles his face without tears, thinking about what else can be done to keep Theolod.

Theolod looked at his expression that could almost be called painful, thought for a moment, patted him on the shoulder, and said "considerately", "Gavin, do you have something on your mind? It's okay, I'll tell him about it over there." ”

"Thank you so much, Mr. Lechte, you are like an angel!" Bennett immediately burst into tears of joy and jumped up with excitement.

Theolod smiled slightly—so the problem is really still that guy from Nattell, and the dutiful Mr. Bennett is probably honest about his boss again, and more than once.

Bennett, who was cheering, didn't know that he had invisibly cheated his own boss again.

Theolod followed Norton back to his apartment, and Norton's cold Ragdoll Maggie didn't raise her head when she heard the door open, and continued to curl herself up into a ball of white balls on the main seat of the sofa that Norton often used, Norton greeted her warmly, and she only flicked her tail slightly irritated and flicked.

Norton, apparently accustomed to Maggie's lukewarmness, saw her flick her furry tail at herself, and immediately happily hummed a little song to open the fridge, take out the milk, and flatteringly ask Maggie if she wanted milk.

This picture made every time he entered the house, he saw two jubilant shadows rushing towards him, jumping on his lap with enthusiasm like Theolod who had not seen him for several years.

He also shouted Maggie to greet her, thinking that this cold cat would not lift its tail in the face of him, a stranger who had only met once, but as soon as Maggie heard his voice, the soft ears immediately stood up, she stood up and stretched, jumped off the sofa lightly, leaned to Theorod's legs, circled around him, and rubbed while turning.

Theorod raised his eyebrows unexpectedly, he bent down and stretched out his hand to Maggie, who immediately raised her head obediently and squinted, letting Theorod go with a look of enjoyment. When Norton saw this, he also leaned over, and was just about to stretch out his hand to silence her head, when Maggie rewarded her with a paw, and then continued to rub in Theolod's arms.

“…… Maggie, I'm the one who serves you!" Norton instantly felt so aggrieved, other people's cats were very clingy to their owners, and he was just a white-eyed wolf.

"Well, Maggie is a lady with a high level of appreciation, and you should be happy about it, Ed. Theorod immediately comforted him.

Norton was stunned for a second, then gave him a kick without hesitation, and said in disgust: "you, is there anyone like you who praises yourself for being good-looking?"

"Maggie, do you think I'm handsome?" Theolod ignored Norton, holding up the she-cat who was spoiling him, keeping her ocean-blue eyes on the same level as his own.

"Meow~" seemed to understand what Theolod was saying, and Maggie screamed softly.

Theolod immediately looked at Norton: "see?"

“…… Magi, you've never been so soft with me!" Edward the cat Nunorton felt a little loveless for a moment.

Norton brought Theolod a can of cold beer, and Maggie, who had just finished sprinkling her pet, grinded her paws on her cat mat, then jumped on Norton's lap and nestled up for bed. Norton was so pleased with this move that he forgot that he had been treated differently by his own cat. Theolod saw that Norton was so happy just because Maggie used him as a thigh pillow, and he was even more sure that he would never be able to keep a cat in the future.

Herman had previously asked him if he preferred to have cats or dogs, and he pointed out that this was because Theorod had long been accustomed to being dependent and spoiled by others, and was completely ungood at or unwilling to rely on others to put himself in a passive situation, which was his pride and his fatal point, and this kind of interpersonal skills were actually somewhat unhealthy, and he needed to learn to rely on others.

Dependency?

Theorod shrugged. He followed Norton home not just for the night, but also for the script Norton had asked him for earlier, "As Always", and Norton wanted to ask him for his opinion on the script - given that he could be his lead actor and that they would work together a second time.

But now that Norton's leg is being taken over by Maggie, he has to let Theolod go to the study to find the script by himself. Theorod eventually came out with four scripts, he knew that Norton was a very thoughtful actor, this time he could make his own films, he would never let go of any small details, he could justifiably pester the screenwriter for months on the script, and this time there was no one else who could stop him from arguing with him - except for the executive producer - so Theorod was not surprised by these four versions of the script.

Theolod sat on the sidelines reading the script, while Norton took advantage of the moment to open his sketchbook and draw storyboards. At first, Theolod took it seriously, but when he finished reading the first one, his browsing speed gradually increased, until finally it became a rough flip through. The sound of his flipping through the book was terrifying to Norton, and he knew what it meant, and he would turn the pages when he wasn't interested in some script.

"How?" asked Norton the moment Theorod closed the script.

"This story is not very new in terms of material and concept, and it is certainly much better than the ordinary love triangle. Mr. Stuart Bramberg added too many religious elements to the first version, which would have deprived a comedy of its lighthearted atmosphere, and he was going in the wrong direction, and the audience who chose the comedy would never want to see any religious collision and loose preaching......"

"I think so too, so I advise him to change it again and again. Norton added.

Yes, the next three versions were much better, and he skillfully shifted the discussion of the evils of religion to the practice of keeping faith and love in mind, avoiding the eye of the storm, and finally got some prototypes of the central idea. Theolod said, pausing.

To be honest, this script belongs to the middle and lower reaches of his experience, if he used to throw it in the trash when he turned the first page, but now it's different, this is his friend's first work, and he also likes to work with Norton, plus, he has read countless films, even if he doesn't have the talent to create the best script, he also knows the necessary factors and routines for a successful script, so the quality of the script is no longer a problem.

"But there's always a 'but' at this time, and I think it's still a bit of a problem to change the script, but it's hard for me to grasp that point. ”

"Do you really want to hear from me, if you don't think it's out of line. Before answering, Theolod asked cautiously.

"Oh, of course, we're friends!"

As a romantic comedy, there is too little romance and humor. Our audience is predominantly female, and I think the films made in the current script are only for housewives, and if you want to expand the age group, you have to add a romantic component. ”

"Brian fell in love with his childhood sweetheart as a Catholic, and it's true that forbidden love always attracts attention, but there is so little expression of Brian's emotions, or his emotions, that if I hadn't known in advance that it was a love triangle, I didn't even know that he loved the heroine until he confessed. It's unreasonable, it's too abrupt and unnatural, feelings need to be gradual and brewing, and perhaps you could suggest that Mr. Bramberg cut down on garbage and add descriptions of Brian's emotions. The audience needs to feel the struggles and emotional conflicts of the abstinence/lust priest, and more importantly, one of the selling points of this character, the forbidden aura. You probably want to play Brian, right?"

"Is it that obvious?"

"Of course," Theolod smiled, "because you have this aura, this role is quite suitable for you." ”

"So you think 'Playboy' Jack is right for you?" Norton asked with a laugh.

"Well, speaking of Jack, don't you think that although he is set as a 'playboy' in the script, in fact, he doesn't have the charm of a so-called playboy between the lines? ”

"But Jack's struggles are realistic, aren't they? The script needs that, and he needs to be irresponsible. ”

"Yes, but only irresponsible, without charm and love buried in the heart, then become scum, not an unruly prodigal. At the beginning of the script, he tries to portray him as a charismatic and infectious man, but as the script progresses, his charm gradually fades, and he even has one more disadvantage - he is not good at dealing with women. Actually, this is unnecessary—although I know that Mr. Bramberg wants Jack to be perfect because of his flaws, but don't you think that the apparently glamorous dandy is actually devoted to his own emotional passivity and jerkiness, and that he is more romantic than this flaw, which has no charisma...... What are you doing?"

Theolod noticed that Norton's pencil hadn't stopped since he spoke.

"I'm taking notes, I'm going to have to write down what you said and take it to discuss with Stewart......" Norton wrote, suddenly pausing to look at Theorod and smiling, "I suddenly had an idea, why don't you, Theo, go talk to Stewart?" I think you're in every position to work with him to improve the script, and when the time comes, your name will be on the screenwriting column." If you think about it, isn't it cool that one of the male protagonists is the director, and the other male protagonist is the screenwriter? Besides, every time you seem to have more ideas about the script than I do, you start changing your lines as soon as you start. ”

"Come on, I don't have any interest in sitting down and typing, and even if I'm involved in writing the script, who knows what I'm going to say when I get into the play? Theorod shook his head, he was telling the truth, and although he could give Norton a lot of useful advice, it didn't mean that he liked to provoke screenwriters.

Norton also knew that Theolod didn't care about anything other than acting, and he didn't have much hope, so he shrugged his shoulders and the matter was over.

The next day, when Theolod was still on the plane, Marshall, who was in the Los Angeles company, received a phone call, saying that he had a romantic comedy called "As Always" and needed Theolod to play one of the leading actors, and the director was Edward Norton, and according to Norton, Theorod himself was very interested in the film, so they could talk about the salary very easily.

Marshall, who received the call, was confused, because Theolod had not yet had time to tell him about it.

Aren't you funny about me, aren't you not interested in those campus romantic comedies? Why can a small production company's romantic comedies touch your heart? Is it because the director is Edward Norton, and the other actor is also him? What is the relationship between the two of you? Do you want to have such a good relationship? He is a newcomer who has only been thinking about making movies for a few years since his debut, and you dare to accept it! And you don't know it beforehand! You are now revealing to people that you are quite interested in movies, and you must act in this film, how can you talk about it? How to talk about it!

So, Marshall also blew up. 166 Reading Network
