As the filming progressed, the time entered December. Maybe it's the arrival of the Christmas holiday, which makes the atmosphere of the crew always in the joy of the festival, and people will always talk about where to go on vacation during this Christmas holiday, or which ski resort to go skiing to.

"I'll probably stay in L.A. and stay with Maggie. When asked, Theolod shrugged his shoulders unconcernedly.

"Accompany your grandmother? Our filial son Theo, don't you want to travel anywhere? How can young people nowadays want to stay at home with their old people all the time, at least I don't want to. Theron, who was planning a trip to Hawaii for the winter, said with a smile that she had wanted to go with Theolod, but it didn't seem like a chance now.

"If you have the opportunity, you can also come to my house, I have a lot of musical instruments in my house, and we can play music. In addition to acting, Pacino said that music is also his personal hobby, and he likes to call a bunch of friends to his home to play musical instruments when he is bored, "As long as you don't tell me that you don't like anything other than acting, music is the same as acting, but it uses sound to interpret the inner emotions of the characters." ”

"I'd love to do it if your home isn't in New York but in Los Angeles. Theorod smiled helplessly. In the past, his psychiatrist always urged him to find a hobby other than acting, so that he could relax in his leisure time, and he had a piano and guitar in his own house and play it when he had nothing to do, and Theolod did that, sometimes music can really make people relax.

It's just a pity that his home is not a villa in the last world, and he doesn't have so much extra money to waste on pianos or other musical instruments.

During the week of Christmas, after Heckford had finished the scheduled filming process early, he asked all the staff to go home for a good Christmas, rest and recuperate before coming back. Theorod also got on a plane at the first time of the day and flew back to the warmer Los Angeles.

Theolod, who had been frozen for several days by the biting cold wind of New York that was raining from time to time, felt a warm wind coming in his face as soon as he got off the plane, and the dazzling sunlight in the cloudless sky dispelled the dark clouds that had been hanging over his heart for several weeks, thinking that at this time last year, he had run back to North Las Vegas because of depression, Theorod couldn't help but laugh and hugged Maggie who came to greet him.

And he decided to take advantage of this holiday to let Maggie "teach" him how to drive - although he already knew how to drive, but his body had never learned to drive - he couldn't always let someone else pick him up, especially Maggie, as he got older, his driving eyes were not good, and it was a bit bad if something went wrong.

It hadn't been two days since Theorod returned to Los Angeles when the awards from the major film critics' associations at the end of the year were announced. And Theolod won the Best Supporting Actor Award for two of the three major film critics associations - the Los Angeles Film Critics Association Award and the New York Film Critics Association Award for his genius play in the role of Allen/Roy in "First Degree of Fear".

The remaining Chicago Film Critics Association did not give the Best Supporting Actor award to Theorod, but in addition to this, Theorod also won the Boston Film Critics Association Award.

Among these film critics association awards, the Los Angeles Film Critics Association has always been regarded as one of the important weather vanes of the Oscars because it fits the base camp of the Oscars and has the longest history among the five major film critics associations. Another important weather vane is the Golden Globe Awards, which were issued almost at the same time as the Oscars.

Now, a rookie actor who has never acted in any movie before can win two major film critics association awards in his first film, and even one of them is one of the important weather vanes of the Oscars, which on the one hand further proves to everyone that Theolod's extraordinary acting skills At the same time, it also makes everyone look forward to whether this year's Golden Globe Awards and Academy Awards will appear as a child who is less than 20 years old.

If he does get the Oscar...... Oh my God, that's incredible! A nineteen-year-old newcomer, his first film, can be appreciated by the academy -- he was only seventeen years old when he acted in this movie! He will be a miracle in Oscar history, the youngest to win the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor! You know, this record has always been held by Timothy Hutton, who won the Best Supporting Actor award at the age of 20 in 1980 for his outstanding performance in "Ordinary People."

Suddenly, people debated this genius out of nowhere, and after the awards, the people who had been skeptical about Theolod's ability to play the role of Al Pacino were slightly shaken, and they all set their eyes on the list of Golden Globe nominees that will be released at 9 p.m. on December 22, but they did not expect that before that, there was another bombshell.

Hollywood News is just an entertainment tabloid in Los Angeles, the newspaper was founded only five years ago, and it is still young, but because all its news is focused on Hollywood and Hollywood star life, and the film shooting anecdotes, it has sold well in Los Angeles, at least among the top entertainment tabloids.

And on December 18, three days after the major film critics association awards were released, John Gurney, the star reporter of "Hollywood Dynamics", received an anonymous phone call.

“…… Are you sure this is true, sir?" John Gurney lowered his voice incredulously.

'Sure!sure, sure!' I'm on that crew, can I still be sure?' the guy on the other end of the line swore by the guy, 'Well, if you don't believe me, you can ask Dave Morrison, who is the assistant gaffer for "Fear of the First Degree," and he can testify. If you still don't believe me, go find the actors. Am I going to have trouble with the money? That's 500 dollars!'

"Hollywood Dynamics" once had an open secret that whoever could provide an exclusive break could get $500.

John Gurney wasn't sure if it was true, but he wrote down the phone number he had given. As a result, as soon as he called, he found that the matter would definitely make the headlines of the newspaper. So, he did not hesitate to find an actor who was still quite related to this time, and after getting the first-hand information, he rushed to the manuscript overnight and sent it to the editor-in-chief's office.

He had already written so many headlines for newspapers that he had attracted attention, and John Gurney believed that if he continued at this rate, he would one day be able to become editor-in-chief. Looking at the editor-in-chief's interested expression, John Gray thought so happily in his heart.

As for the turmoil caused by the exposure of this incident to the protagonist of the incident? Who cares about this? Qualified journalists, especially entertainment reporters, only need to expose the truth and let the masses fully understand what kind of person they like, and who cares what consequences will be caused to specific people?

So, on December 20, on the front page of "Hollywood News", there was such a news-

In the process of filming, Theolod Lecht, relying on his genius and youthful vigor, used his acting skills to suppress supporting roles that were worse than his own strength, changed his lines without authorization, and played freely, which was extremely disrespectful to fellow actors!

If this matter is put on other people, other newcomers, I am afraid that everyone will regard it as a joke, and even laugh and scold the people who spread rumors, how can a newcomer have the strength to suppress the drama and even play on the spot? But if this protagonist is Theorod...... That's another story, because he seems to have the strength.

Suddenly, some people hesitated - it's not like ah, this kid usually seems to be very well-behaved and understands things, how can he be as mean as the gossip tabloid said?

Of course, there are also people who have long seen Theolod who is unhappy before: "Why am I not surprised at all to hear this news? I just say how good can a bad teenager who has taken drugs be? Haha, you have all been deceived by that hypocrite's disguise, maybe at this moment he is hiding at home because of his upset and taking drugs, I strongly ask the anti-narcotics police/detective to search his home!"

If it was just a report from an unknown gossip tabloid, of course, it would not have caused such a big reaction, and what really caused an uproar in this matter was Richard Gere, who everyone had always thought had a very good relationship with Theorod.

"Actually, I was surprised when Gray told me that he (Theolod Recht) had the strength to take on this role, but after all, it was the result of four interviews at the same time, and I had no opinion. And it turns out that Theo does have the ability, he's a genius, I mean when he first started playing against us (referring to Richard Gere and Frances McDondorman), he even suppressed our play, and when he played against me, he changed his lines, you know, he didn't play anything at that time. Of course, I was a little worried at the time, after all, he didn't stay in Hollywood for long. ”

Richard Gere's words in that newspaper exploded like a bombshell and made people's ears roar - even Richard Gere admitted it, was that Theolod really so disrespectful with his strength?

This is not the end, it didn't take long for someone to break the news - on the set of "Devil's Advocate", Theolod also had a bad quarrel with the director and the group because of the pressure and changing the lines!

When Marshall, who was far away in Australia, found out about this, he almost scolded -- these gossip media don't think this Christmas is lively enough, and don't let people spend Christmas in peace? And what happened to Richard Gere? Didn't he have a good relationship with Theolod before?!

‘…… My preliminary analysis is that it should be a certain trick or group performance of "Devil's Advocate" that released this kind of scandal, and I need time for who it is, and the tone of that small newspaper is not strict, they just want money and gimmicks...... 'Marshall said in a transnational phone call, and Theolod can even imagine his irritated face rubbing his eyebrows.

"It's okay, there's no need to check it, does it make sense to find out?" Theolod picked up the microphone on one shoulder and chopped fruit for Maggie, "After all, whoever did this kind of thing, he was just a little angry and jealous because of his lack of ability at the beginning, and my fame at a young age only continued to stimulate his vindictiveness." But no matter how jealous he is, can he really ruin my future? ”

'Why can't you?' Do you understand the severity of this thing in Hollywood?!

"A promising newcomer, he can't stop me, we're not on the same level. Marshall, believe it or not, when the Oscars, no, don't wait for the Oscars, when this Golden Globe Awards is over, there will be a 180° change in the words of everyone outside? I know Hollywood better than you think, here, in addition to the clear hierarchy, the most supreme thing is only strength, which can override a rule. You say, if you are a producer, do you choose an actor who is quite controversial but has extraordinary strength and can bring you unlimited box office income, or choose a mediocre actor who is well-behaved and sensible without any scandals but also has no box office appeal?"

‘…… How did you take such conceited words for granted?'

"That's just the way it is. ”

What about Richard Gere? It sounds like a compliment to you, but those words are not compliments in the current situation. ’

"He's ......" Theorod paused for a moment, put the cut fruit on the plate, came to the living room with the plate in one hand and the phone in the other, and put it in front of Maggie, who was watching TV, "It's nothing, isn't this kind of thing common in Hollywood? There are no permanent friends, only eternal interests, and we have passed that honeymoon period." When I won the Film Critics Guild awards, he called me to congratulate me, and by the way, we talked about his plans for the Christmas holidays, and he wanted to go to Tibet. Unfortunately, our political positions were not the same, and that conversation ended in a less pleasant way. ”

Theorod said in a flat tone. It was only a few days ago that he discovered that Richard was a fierce anti-Chinese, which was completely contrary to Theorod's views, because in his last life, he was the typical pro-Chinese in Hollywood. The political positions are different, so naturally there is nothing to say, and probably they will not have any intersection in the future. This made Theolod a little regretful, after all, Richard was one of his friends who entered this world Hollywood.

Theolod had spent a long time trying to calm Maggie down, and now it wasn't long before Marshall called again, and he could even feel Maggie's eye knife when she heard him and Marshall call.

Well, I'll have to note this, but I really don't understand why you don't know much about that Eastern country and you started to take the initiative. Marshall said that Westerners in this era did not know anything about China, so there were also many neutrals like Marshall, 'Anyway, have you really thought about it, decided to say nothing?'

"Don't be anxious like an ant on a hot pot when something happens, Marshall, now that you're the owner of a brokerage company, you have to learn to be calm. In fact, there are many things that can be solved naturally even if the person concerned does not come forward much, such as the current case, some people regard my free play as a disgusting bad thing, and naturally some people appreciate it. Wait, a few days from now will be the time for the Golden Globe nominations to be released, and from then on, everything will be different. ”

‘…… Okay, Theo, I've got to ask you a stern question, you really didn't lie about your age? Normal children should be in a hurry at this time! You're so confident that you can win the Golden Globe, why don't you say you can still win the Oscar?'

"No, you can't. ”

'What?'

"Oscar, this year's Oscar winner for Best Supporting Actor is not me, and it can't be me, although my strength is completely up to standard, but I'm too young and too young, this is the first movie, those academics can't give me the Oscar, I know too well what those people think. ”

‘…… It's like you've already figured out the pattern of countless little gold figures......

In fact, Theolod really figured out the pattern.
