Chapter 98: Premiere x Meet X Again on Medicine

Theorod, who has studied academic psychology for nearly half his life, naturally understands what the Oscars of this world are optimistic about, and what he doesn't want to see at all, so if those media think that Theorod is just eye-catching, it would be a big mistake, let's not talk about whether he is such a person who likes to be outstanding, even if he wants to attract people's attention, it is impossible to use this low-level interesting way, besides, his words are just telling the truth, without any exaggerated ideas.

The first time he officially met Matt Damon, he was a little uncomfortable but surprisingly easy to get along with, as Ben Affleck said before, but Theorod only saw his easy side, maybe his not so easy to understand only Ben, who is a close friend.

The other party has long been looking forward to getting to know Theorod, of course, he and Ben did not tell anyone else that Theorod would attend the premiere, the two of them who can come up with too many bad fun and good ideas as long as they get together want to surprise everyone, in fact, their goal has been achieved, and even the director and the film team have been kept in the dark.

Matt Damon and Ben Affleck reserved a seat for one of their friends, but who knew it was Theolod? They thought it was some of their best friends or someone outside the circle, so they kept such a low profile. But how did the three of them meet? Theolod and Matt may have met during the interview for "Fear of the First Degree", but what about Ben?

When Theolod told the truth, the reporters who rushed to get there suddenly remembered that Theorod had gone to Las Vegas before Christmas to spend time with his good friend and assistant, and that Ben Affleck, who loved board games, was also in Las Vegas during his vacation.

Reporters in this era are not at all concerned about the situation of his team except for the celebrities themselves, and compared to the celebrities who are constantly talking about glamorous topics, whether their agents or assistants will be selectively ignored by them, which also leads to the fact that until now, outsiders have no other impression of Nattle except for the assistant and "for some reason he is a very good friend of Theolod".

As for how good the friendship between them is, you can understand it by listening to what Theolod said.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ I certainly didn't go to Las Vegas to gamble, come on, I'm not twenty-one yet, and I don't want to be thrown out by the bouncers at the casino whose arms are thicker than my thighs. Explaining why he chose Las Vegas as his mecca for a relaxing getaway, Theorode smiled.

"I'm just standing on the sidelines and watching, but Nat could, it was his twenty-first birthday, and I'm sure every American man would choose to do the same thing on a day like this -- buy a bunch of chips in a Las Vegas casino and get drunk in the pouring of dollars, right? ”

His words also successfully caused the reporters to smile tacitly, so someone asked: "So, how much did you lose that day?"

"No, we didn't lose, Nat was lucky. Theolod shook his head, "I think we're here to talk about how much my friend made in Caesars, and how he crushed the other players at the blackjack table at that time, guys, this writer of yours is a poker genius, and I was stunned to see the pile of chips in front of me...... Oh wait, this is their premiere, so why talk about casinos? Let's get off topic, let's get to Mindcatcher...... Oh Ben and Matt came over, come on, we at least look like we're talking about Mindcatcher. ”

Several reporters laughed on the spot, and when they saw the two genius screenwriters coming, they immediately held back a smile and pretended to mention "Soul Catcher", and Theolod also pretended to answer their questions seriously, as if Ben and Matt, who were not close to him at all, until Ben patted Theorod on the back and asked him what he was talking about with the reporter so happily, he immediately straightened his face and replied:

"No, nothing, I definitely didn't tell reporters how much money you won at the blackjack table at Caesars Casino that day. ”

Behind him was the laughter of reporters, and even everyone else noticed the commotion.

Matt also smiled, he poked Ben with his elbow that was a little subtle in his expression, and asked with great interest: "By the way, when it comes to winning, you didn't tell me how much you won at that time, don't you want to invite that meal?" ”

Ben secretly screamed as soon as he heard Matt mention the Michelin restaurant, he naturally heard a little about Theorod's foodie Cheng dΓΉ, I am afraid that this meal can not be hidden, but he still looked at Theorod with a little expectation, hoping that he would not abandon their friendship because of the food, but as soon as the other party heard the Michelin restaurant, his eyes lit up, looked at Ben with a smile, and under his gaze, he slowly raised his right hand and gestured to a two.

Matt understood immediately.

Ben suddenly realized that his 200,000 yuan would probably have to shrink a lot.

Of course, Ben did eventually invite Matt and Theorod to a three-Michelin-starred restaurant in New York. Flying from Los Angeles across the North American continent to New York for food, Theolod said he was stress-free. And when he flew back from New York after a full meal, it was the day of the 55th Golden Globe Awards.

As most people expected, "Titanic", which received eight nominations for the Golden Globe Awards, won four trophies at the Golden Globe Awards, but surprisingly, in addition to Best Picture and Best Director, the remaining two were Best Composition and Best Film Song, and Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet, who were both nominated for Best Actor, failed to win Best Actor and Best Actress.

As the screenwriters of "Soul Catcher", Matt Damon and Ben Affleck actually won the Golden Globe Award for Best Screenplay, which is the first time they have written a screenplay! And they actually snatched the Golden Globe Award from the big ship "Titanic", which almost confirms what Theorod said!

However, there are also many people who think that this is just the Golden Globe Awards, maybe "Titanic" failed to win the Golden Globe Award for Best Actor and Actress and Best Screenplay, maybe the Oscars can be?

They probably chose to ignore the Golden Globes, which they had previously called the Oscar vane, and set their sights on the Oscar nomination night a few days later. The nomination results announced that night made many fans breathe a sigh of relief and a little more dissatisfied - although "Titanic" won fourteen Oscar nominations, tying the record for the most Oscar nominations set by "Comet Beauty" in 1950, Leonardo DiCaprio was not nominated for an Oscar for Best Actor!

You must know that almost all the fans of the big ship "Titanic" are Jack, that is, Leonardo's fans, since the movie was released, thousands of viewers have been moved by the love between Jack and Rose in the film every day, countless female fans are crazy in love with Jack and regard him as their dream lover, but the person they miss in their hearts failed to get the nomination, which makes them feel a little more resentful when they see the number fourteen - this should be fifteen, not fourteen nominations!

But there are sensible people with a discerning eye who discovered the situation of "Soul Catcher" in the Oscars, including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor, Supporting Actor, Supporting Actress and Best Original Screenplay, and won a total of nine nominations! Although it is not as good as the unstoppable fifteen nominations of "Titanic", nine Oscar nominations are not less.

So now that the box office of all other movies except "Titanic" is scum, they, the fans and viewers, really missed a good movie......? Every word he says about Soul Catcher is confirmed!

Could it be that he really has the magic of predicting the future?!

Even when Theolod called Ben and Matt to congratulate him, they jokingly said that he would immediately publicly say that the nine nominations for "Soul Catcher" would definitely become a real award, maybe it would really win by then?

"Haha, then I might as well directly predict that Ben Affleck will be the future president and Matt Damon will be the first lady. Theorod quipped.

In this regard, Matt expressed strong dissatisfaction - "Why didn't I become the future president and Ben became my first lady?!"

"You'd better argue about who will do the laundry and who will cook today, and then discuss who is the president and who is the first lady. Theolod rolled his eyes.

It is said that the friendship between these two guys is so good that they often fly to Matt's house to become a "family cook" to take care of Matt, who "can't take care of himself", but it seems that a long time ago, it was Matt who was the all-round housekeeper.

In other words, the relationship between the two of them is so good that it seems to others to be a couple, but Theorod understands that they are both heterosexual. This made Theolod feel a little emotional, if he could be like Ben and Matt in his life, it would be so good that anyone who saw them would think that they were lovers' friends, as for the real lover...... Theorod probably didn't want to bother with this anymore.

Of course, after the Oscar nominations were announced, the commentators were arguing about something that Theorod didn't want to care about, and he spent his twentieth birthday at home without incident, and then the next day, he had to prepare for "Fight Club."

The filmmaker prepared a physical strength training for Theolod, and in terms of character setting, Taylor was already a little stronger than Jack and looked more aggressive. The filmmaker found him a fitness trainer, and he had to make his muscles more visible, but not too strong - after all, Jack, as the main personality, was just an ordinary white-collar worker.

Finci's criteria for Theolod were to be well-proportioned, lose some fat and gain muscle on top of his old body, while also undergoing kickboxing training. This training will last for two months, until the day before the start of the program, during which time Theolod will have to strictly control his weight, or more precisely, his mouth.

When Theolod heard the news on his first day from a fitness trainer who was almost twice his size, he felt he should immediately go home and hide all the snacks at home - the trainer had already conveyed the request to his assistant and agent and asked them to strictly supervise Theorod, perhaps he already knew the importance of good food to Theorod.

The good news is that Theorod finally met his long-awaited future partner and "main personality", Edward Norton, in the training room.

When Theolod walked into the training room, Norton was sitting on the side to arrange his leggings and bracers, he heard the door open, looked up, and saw Theorod walking in wearing a vest and sweatpants, and immediately stood up with a smile and said hello to Theorod.

"Long time no see, Theo, glad we met again. Norton held out his hand to Theorod, "I know you recommended me to Finch and Chafin and that's why I had this interview, thank you, Theo, seriously, I thought you had forgotten about me a long time ago." ”

"How come, Edward?" Theolod grabbed the other man's hand and pulled it gently, leaned forward to hug him, and patted him on the back, "You can be said to be the first friend I've met since I started in the industry, I didn't get your contact information in the first place, and I won't give up the opportunity this time." As for the character of Jack...... It's just a gesture, whether you can really win it depends on your own efforts, look, now that you are standing in front of me, it means that you have done a good job, and if I hadn't been lucky, maybe "Level 1 Fear" would have been yours. ”

"Oh, you just said that the key to winning the role is your own hard work, and I couldn't agree more, it wasn't just luck that time, I was a little nervous and stuttered, but next time, you won't be able to win the role so easily. Norton joked, "Now, I'm your master Gerjack." ”

"It's a pity that you Jack doesn't have Rose, only Mara. Theorod said, gesturing to his temple to shoot, and for a moment, there was a hint of Taylor's shadow in his eyes, "And your Mara, I'm still fascinated by your deputy's personality." ”

"Ok, ok, I know you're a cool guy, Taylor, like you have this tattoo on your arm, he's pretty cool. Norton smiled and waved his hand, "If only you had been so cool, at least then I wouldn't have shot you in the head in the end." ”

"It seems that I made the right choice, this tattoo will not only help me cover this scar, but also add a touch of charm to my charm. But...... If I hadn't gone to extremes, would you have happily spent the rest of your life with Mara in the end?" Theorod raised an eyebrow slightly.

"Psychologically a person with such a dangerous sociopathic extreme subpersonality as Taylor will always end badly if left untreated, Taylor will never be willing to be a replacement for Jack, one day he will think of taking Jack's main personality position, one day. And in reality, split personality is not as easy to cure as a single shot......"

"So? It looks like you're very good at psychology. Norton picked up the bear with interest and looked at Theorod, "And I seem to have heard something from you, should we go any further into the ending of this script?" I can feel that you are the same as I thought, after all, we are the same people. ”

"Haha, that's right, the film doesn't unfold from the beginning to the end from a general God's perspective, and the person who narrates the story is the protagonist Jack, which can also be said to be 'first person', so there will be a question of zΓ i......"

"How do we know Jack isn't lying?"

"How do we know Jack isn't lying?"

Theolod and Norton tossed the question out in unison, then smiled at each other.

"I knew we wanted to go together. Norton grabbed Theolod's shoulder and put him in a hard hug.

After all, this is a first-person movie, and the most likely suspicion in the first person is that the narrator of the story is likely to lie to the audience.

After Theorod read the whole script, this idea came to him out of thin air, and he thought about it carefully, thinking that it was not impossible, but he didn't expect his co-partner to think so too, which made Theorod even more glad that he remembered Norton and introduced him to Finch, otherwise where would he find an actor who could have such a tacit understanding with him?

In addition to the director, the success of a film is also inseparable from the chemistry between the actors. The level of tacit understanding between actors can often have different effects on the movie, and if the more tacit cooperation, the better the effect of the movie on the audience.

What's more, he and Norton are still essentially the same person, regardless of whether the character is really split personality or disguised.

Presumably Finch also thought of this, so he lined up their training sessions together, including filming on the set later, they all shared an RV for a break on set, shared a hotel room, ate the same lunch box, etc.

Of course, this is a later story, at this moment Norton and Theolod encountered something about the script, and it became out of control, they exchanged each other's understanding of the script and the character's plot, and even discussed how to play the differences and similarities between Jack and Taylor.

But he had to stand up and give them today's training session, and the training time was only three hours in total, not counting the halfway break, he couldn't let them talk about these three hours as soon as they talked. He's trained too many stars, and he doesn't want to smash his signature like that.

So, the coach stood up at the right time, cleared his throat, and saw that these two men, who looked too deceptive on the outside, chatted together about the script and the performance, and talked about shopping and cosmetics like a woman who couldn't help but be so excited that he didn't notice his own storage at all, and couldn't help but pick up the metal whistle hanging around his neck with a little headache and blow it hard, which attracted their attention.

"Gentlemen, I know that the script and the characters are to you what the theory of relativity is to Einstein, but this is a training room, not a set, and if you want your physique to be exactly up to the standards required in the movie, you have to listen to me for the rest of the day. From now on, please put the script exchange under the class, where you can only talk about things related to training. The coach looked at the two men in front of him who looked to be only β–‘β–‘ years old with a cold face.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Waters, but we promise that nothing like this will happen in the future. Theolod and Norton also realized that they were a little too excited to ignore the coach's storage, and immediately bowed their heads and apologized.

Look at the way they both bow their heads at the same time, listen to their deliberately softened voices, the synchronization rate of these two guys is so high that they can be copied and pasted! Waters looked at them, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, for some reason he felt like he was reprimanding a fierce gym teacher for high school students, which made Walters, a rough man about the same age as Norton but with a scumbag-faced face, feel pressured. It must have been his delusion, Waters thought, it must have been because the two of them were too tender and deceptive.

On the first day, Waters didn't do much high-intensity training, he knew that this kind of thing had to be gradual, and putting too much pressure on the muscles at once was likely to lead to injury, but Rao lowered the training intensity, and Theolod still felt that his muscles were sore the next day, so he quickly endured the pain and did a stretching exercise, otherwise with his state, the afternoon training would definitely torture him enough.

Fortunately, in the previous life, Theolod had also done this kind of perverted intensity of crash training many times, and he knew the way to basically relax his muscles, otherwise he would probably have to worry about whether his body was as old as his soul and was useless, and he would pant for breath after doing a few sets of squat training.

Norton's state is a little worse than Theorod, after all, Theolod's body has just turned twenty and can withstand this kind of intense training, but Norton is different, his body is not as young as his baby face, he is nearly thirty years old, he has back pain on the first day, and before the training starts, Theorod is still helping him relax his muscles.

In this regard, Waters, who is in the body of a standard bodybuilder, said that this is the consequence of not exercising for a long time.

But after a month and a half, Norton will be able to get out of the sea of suffering. Jack doesn't need to have Taylor's cheetah-like physique, Norton only needs to shape the muscles of his body and learn a little free fighting to graduate, and Theolod will only train more and more, he doesn't need to be a big guy, which is a good thing, but his muscles must look tight and powerful, his punches and attack speed must not look like an amateur, and he needs to be worthy of his "fight club" leader in every way.

The most important thing is the ruthlessness that is not fatal.

After the kickboxing program began, Theorod often came home with an injury, and Waters has obviously helped many celebrities train, and he can perfectly ensure that any demonstration attack does not fall on Theorod's face, but other places are different, if Theorod does not want to be beaten badly, he can only improve his ability quickly.

And the work of the bruising potion afterwards naturally fell on Nattel, and he couldn't let the elderly Maggie help him with the medicine when he took off only a pair of shorts.

"How long will your kickboxing course last?" asked Nattel in a low voice, frowning at the bruises on Theolod's waist. After these days of intense training, Theolod's figure has reached the perfect standard, coupled with his natural ivory-white complexion, he looks like a work of art under the hands of those master carvers, even if he touches it, he is afraid of getting dirty, how can anyone be willing to put down heavy hands......

Wait, Natel suddenly realized that his analogy seemed slightly inappropriate. I think he was very happy to beat those who were more muscular than Theorod in the first place.

"There are two more weeks to go, all the way up to the start-up. Theorod raised his hand for Nattle to apply his medicine, "But it's still working, you see, I'm hurt a lot less now than I was at the beginning, and I can still pay back to Waters a few times." ”

Of course, Theolod also received various martial arts training in his previous life, such as free fighting, fencing, sanda, etc., but those were only stored in the previous life, and his body in this life did not receive those trainings, and his memory was already blurred, so he naturally had to learn from scratch. Fortunately, vague memories can be regarded as memories, and the physical strength has reached the standard, Theorod in this life learns to fight freely and learns very quickly, and even Waters praises him for his talent.

"Then next time, please help me return a few salutes. Theolod suddenly heard Nattel's muffled voice coming from behind him.

"Huh?"

β€œβ€¦β€¦ I mean, I have to drugged you every day for free in front of your beaten nose and swollen face, and I have to see your naked body every day that hasn't seen the sun in years...... Belch...... I might as well meet the hot beauties...... Hell, the more I talk about it now, the more I want to go to him and go to him alone......"

Seeing that Natel was almost incoherent, Theolod finally understood that he was complaining that he was taking up his time to find a woman because of his injury, and every man would be dissatisfied when he was disturbed with good things, Theorod nodded in understanding and smiled: "Okay, I'll help you bring your greetings to him......"

As a result, before he finished speaking, he pulled the wound at the corner of his mouth, and he couldn't help but pause slightly. This is the first time he has been wearing a face in months, of course, it was just an accident, Waters' elbow accidentally hit the corner of his mouth, and he apologized for a long time afterwards, Theolod actually didn't pay much attention, but the paparazzi who had been following him could finally find out that the role he played seemed to be inseparable from the fight.

"Alright, the last one. Natel said, picking up the swab and approaching Theorod.

Actually, he didn't really want to help Theolod wipe the wound at the corner of his mouth, because it meant that he had to be very close to him, so close that he could see the soft and short cilia on his face, and he could see his thin lips that were slightly pink and looked somehow more delicious than a woman's lips, and he could feel his warm breath blowing on his neckβ€”a qiΔ“ that made him feel very strange. Close enough that he could almost see his long fan-like eyelashes, and the pupils that looked at him softly under those eyelashes, like a sea of stars......

Wait a minute.

Sensing Theolod staring at him, Natel found himself even more unsettled, and he even felt that his cheeks were very hot.

"What's wrong?" Seeing that Natl hadn't made any drugging movements for a long time, Theolod looked at him strangely, and suddenly thought of something, "Okay, I can do this myself, if you have other things, go quickly." ”

As he spoke, he naturally took the cotton swab from Nattel's hand, but he touched the other man's finger without commenting, and he immediately retracted his finger as if he had been electrocuted, and then quickly stood up and took a big step back.

"Uh...... I... I do have something, huh...... I'll go first. Natel said, hurrying out of Theorod's house.

Theolod put on his pajamas and frowned suddenly as he looked at Nattel's back, which had almost fled.
