After meeting Nattel, Theorrod finally understood what Maggie's dodge was for from last year to now, probably on the day Natel was sent to the drug rehabilitation center, Maggie knew that Theorrod's good friend was arrested and imprisoned, and Natel was likely to strongly ask Maggie to hide it. Although he didn't say this when he caught up with Natle, Theorod knew him as well as he knew him.

On the night of meeting Natle, Maggie complained to Theolod that he had run away this afternoon without informing her, and Theorrod, who did not want to embarrass and be ugly, pretended to be very happy and surprised at that moment, and told her about his chance encounter with Natle.

Naturally, the smile on Maggie's face was a little reluctant, she pretended not to know anything, and asked him how Natel had run to Los Angeles, and Theolod was also very cooperative and didn't break anything, accommodating to accompany Maggie to play, he told her what Natle had learned in recent years, including being in prison, and then, in a complaining tone, he complained that Natel didn't talk about brotherly righteousness, and didn't tell him about such an important matter, so that he couldn't go to meet him on the day he was released from prison.

It wasn't until he put Maggie into bed and closed the door to her room that Theorod sighed softly. To be honest, if he has been kept in the dark but not angry at all, it is false, no one likes the feeling of being deceived and deceived, and the same is true of Theolod, Maggie and the Natter family teamed up to deceive him, holding him in the palm of his hand and caring for him like protecting the flowers of some greenhouse, thinking that the well-intentioned deception is for his good, but everyone often says that it is good for others is often just for psychological comfort.

However, the person who has been cheating on him is Maggie, his only relative.

The small flame that Theorod had just burst out suddenly turned into a helpless gray smoke, people always do stupid things to the people they cared about, Maggie and Natel they deceived him, and why didn't he deceive them with a bunch of secrets? Although Theorod knew that such a concealment was not a long-term solution, he still did not want to tell this qiē to the people he cared about.

Theorod sat at the desk in his bedroom, glanced at the file bag that Dr. Miller had given him, and didn't know what he was thinking, his deep eyes were obscure.

Eventually, he tossed his file bag aside and picked up the script of "Soul Shifting City".

Also characters in their thirties, John Merdow in "Soul Shifting City" and Kevin Romez in "The Devil's Advocate" are completely two different types of people.

Kevin represents the elite of the upper class, while John is just a very ordinary "amnesiac", and his last memory shows that he was a depressed psychopathic killer before his "amnesia". Kevin's life and work had been smooth sailing until he met Milton, and throughout the script, John was a hapless man who was hesitant to seek. Kevin is successful and rich, John is poor and defeated, and his wife is just a bar singer and is divorcing him......

Theolod propped his chin with one hand and tapped lightly on the table with the other, thinking that his model-like and slender appearance needed to be changed. It's only May 17 now, and "Soul Shifting City" will only start on July 15, and he still has nearly two months to change his image, which is enough for a professional actor.

As for the characterization aspect...... The goodness of nature and the evil of memory together shape John Merdorf as an individual, perhaps, this will give him a very simple and pure "evil", otherwise, how can a person who does not kill people "slaughter" a race to the point of almost extinction at the last moment, and only the last one remains?

He doesn't kill, it's based on principles and cognition. He won't hurt any innocents, but he won't let any of the villains linger either. Aliens enslave human beings, and the first thought in their subconscious mind is to eliminate them mercilessly, rather than driving them away like pure good people. When John committed genocide, it didn't matter who was good or bad.

Although the focus of director and screenwriter Alex Proyas is on the special effects and background of science fiction, he does not use too much ink to describe what kind of person John is, nor does he discuss human nature specifically, but Theolod thinks that John's character has a lot to explore. Human nature is inherently complex and difficult to distinguish, it is impossible to tell whether it is right or wrong, good or evil, and no matter who makes any decision, it has its own starting point.

John can be the vehicle for this complex.

Theorod sat at the table for a night, until the day was about to dawn, he lay on the table and slept lightly for two or three hours, and then was woken up by the ringtone of his mobile phone, the caller was his agent, he came to inform Theorod that there was an interview with "Vanity Fair" tomorrow morning, he needed to prepare, and he would send the preparation to Theorod's mailbox by email.

In fact, after the Oscars, "Vanity Fair" sent an email to Marshall, expressing the idea of cooperating with Theorod on a new star feature of "Vanity Fair", but because Theorod rushed to London to shoot "Two Big Smoking Guns", the interview was postponed to June.

"Vanity Fair" reports on celebrity life, of course, there are also some photos, screen reviews, essays, etc., covering everything from rising stars to superstars, basically selecting the hottest and controversial stars in today's society, and has won four "National Journal Awards" and has been rated as the best-selling magazine in the United States twice, which shows its great influence.

"Vanity Fair" selected Theorod, in addition to being nominated for the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor and the Golden Globe Award, it is also inseparable from Marshall's efforts. He had a two-hour phone call with Carter, the editor-in-chief of Vanity Fair, analyzing Theorod's strengths and prospects one after another, and finally being able to convince the brilliant editor-in-chief.

After referring to the interview, Marshall asked another question -- 'Did you go to the street you call Food Avenue yesterday afternoon?'

"yes, what's wrong?"

'Nothing, I just want to make sure. You were accidentally photographed by a paparazzi yesterday running down the street with another man, and now it is being published in a gossip newspaper, of course, he is just taking pictures, and you are quite tightly covered, I asked you just to let yourself have a bottom in your heart, and then when you clarify, you said more confidently, that vague figure that even Maggie can't see is definitely not you. But you have to at least tell me, Theo, who is that friend of yours?'

"Oh, you know, he's a friend of mine, we met when we were in North Las Vegas, we met by chance at a restaurant yesterday, and I didn't want to run into a fan who recognized me. Thinking of the experience of the two of them running down the street yesterday and finally being forced to hide in the trash can, Theolod's head, which was still a little groggy because he didn't wake up, finally woke up, and his voice finally sounded less lethargic.

'Friends you mentioned on David Letterman's show before?' friend on the Golden Globe podium?' Marshall's tone suddenly became meaningful.

"That's right. ”

'Well run, man. ’

“…… Marshall, I didn't run because I was afraid of getting into a scandal of being friends with some celebrities, I just ...... "I don't want Nattle to be exposed to the spotlight prematurely to accept the comments and cynicism of those media, after all, although he can not care about what the media calls, this does not mean that Nattle can not be affected by them."

However, before Theolod could finish his sentence, Marshall interrupted him without paying attention: 'It doesn't matter what you are, anyway, you did a good job, which gives me more confidence to do serious nonsense, and to cover up the truth more justly.' Remember, if someone from Vanity Fair asks you this question, you have to answer that you don't know who the person in the photo is, you have to say that you stayed at home that day. ’

“…… Well, I see what you mean, they didn't really catch me and see my face, so there's a good chance they're dazzling -- you mean it's going to explain it that way. ”

'Theo, if you really want to protect your friends......

"You don't have to persuade me, Marshall, I know how to deal with it. Theorod replied very calmly. Isn't it just hypocritically disguising and deceiving in front of the media? This kind of thing, he did less in his previous life?

has been an actor all his life, Theolod has long known when to fake his feelings, and when to reveal his true feelings, maybe acting has long been integrated into his life and has become a habit, he is used to it, and takes it for granted.

‘…… It's good that you know. Obviously, Marshall didn't expect Theorod to be so good, and he didn't say much, and after a few words of advice to prepare for the next movie these days, he hung up the phone.

The next second he hung up the phone after saying goodbye to Marshall, Theolod threw the "Vanity Fair" interview behind him, he glanced at the notebook in front of him, closed the notebook, and fell asleep under the quilt.

Occasionally, he would jot down a few paragraphs of his inspiration about the character, and more often than not, as if he were writing a diary, he would write down his inferences about the preferences of the character he was about to "become", and even scribble a few pictures of the character's state of mind, that is, his own state of mind when he became a character.

Overall, the contents of this notebook are enough proof of the seriousness with which Theolod treats the character, as well as ...... The course of his illness dù.

The next morning, Theolod was in his living room and saw Herman, whom he had not seen for a long time. He was waiting at the door early in the morning, and happened to meet Maggie who was walking home from the park in the early morning, Maggie naturally knew this Theorod's personal driver, so he invited Mr. Driver, who had been waiting for Theorod in the car, into the house for a cup of tea.

"Theo, I found that this driver of yours is a very principled man, even more stubborn than your grandfather, I wanted to invite him in and sit down, but he said that he would not say anything, and said that the driver would not be able to enter the employer's house to avoid violating *, and finally I had to pull the door of the car myself and drag him out of the car to get this gentleman, he must be a good driver. Maggie said to Theolod, who was a little surprised to see Herman downstairs.

As if to confirm Maggie's words, Herman, who was sitting on the sofa in the living room, looked very cautious, and he didn't know what kind of terrible Longtan tiger's den Theolod's house was.

"Yes, as a driver, he is really good. Theorod walked around to the kitchen with a teasing tone, "Mr. Locke, would you like a slice of toast?"

"No, thanks, I had breakfast. Herman immediately stood up at the sight of his employer, perhaps feeling that he would be disrespectful to his boss if he sat in someone else's house for a while.

"Then I'll eat it with your share. Theolod said, and after throwing four slices of bread in the bread machine, he turned around and saw Herman standing in the living room in a regular and abrupt manner, and said, "Hey, what are you doing standing?

......In desperation, Herman could only stiffen his face and sit down again.

Theolod finally felt that he had avenged his revenge with Herman before he left for England.

Herman glanced at Maggie, who ran upstairs to take a shower, before he said to Theolod, who was sitting at the kitchen table with his chin on his back and waiting for bread: "I thought that normal people would go to their own doctor as soon as they got the report, but I didn't see you until the third day after you came back, and I was the driver." If Mr. Upton hadn't informed me that you had an interview today, you might not have come to me until the next movie started. ”

“…… I kind of miss Herman as a driver. ”

"Drivers and psychiatrists are two different professions, Mr. Lechte, and it is natural that I work differently when dealing with different professions. ”

“……”

Seeing that Theorod was silent and did not speak, Herman frowned slightly, he stood up again, and after confirming that Maggie was not on his side, he walked in front of Theorod, and Theorod's absent-mindedness made him frown even more: "You are running away now, you are not only avoiding me, you are also avoiding reality." If Grant hadn't contacted me, maybe I'd have thought you didn't go to him at all. ”

“…… Okay, I've got the inspection report, but it's in my drawer right now, are you going to let me give it to you now? What if I run into Maggie? Why don't you creep up from that tree in the backyard to my windowsill and I'll hand it to you. Theolod sighed helplessly, took out the freshly baked and somewhat hot bread, and coated it in jam.

Herman looked at Theolod for a long time in a condescending posture with his chest in his arms, as if he noticed something, and he suddenly felt a little clear and distressed: "Theo, in the filming in London, 'it' started again, right? You don't have to lie to me, I'm your doctor, and I more or less know what your 'play' represents." ”

“…… Sorry, Herman, but I can't. ”

He can't perform like a "normal person".

"How far is the tree in your backyard from your windowsill?"

“…… I'm just joking, you don't have to show me how difficult it is for Romeo and Juliet to meet once. ”

"Okay, but if it's no more than two meters, I don't think I'll have a problem. Herman replied with a succinct answer, and judging by his expression, he was still seriously thinking for a while.

"I'd better go upstairs and get you a file bag. Theolod rubbed his forehead and sighed.
