Theorod met the reporter who interviewed him, Edward Russell, in the studio of "Vanity Fair". He is an ordinary-looking middle-aged man, perhaps because of his frequent contact with celebrities in the entertainment and fashion industry, and his outfit is much more trendy than other journalists.

"I suppose Mr. Upton has told you about today's arrangements before, right?" Edward led Theolod to the conference room on the side, and said, "We will conduct a full range of interviews with you, I think you also have a general understanding of the style of "Vanity Fair", from private life to actor gossip, some questions may not be very friendly, I hope you can be prepared." ”

"Naturally, I will cooperate with your questioning arrangement." Theorod nodded with a relaxed expression.

"Of course, you can give us a bottom line, and if it's not convenient for you to say it now, you can ask your assistant to tell us about your situation later." Edward said, opening the door to the conference room for Theolodra, "The interview will start in ten minutes, and our videographer will take a few photos for you in the afternoon." You can wait here for a while, I'll have to go to the editor-in-chief first. ”

When Edward had finished explaining, he hurried away. Theolod looked at his busy back, then at Herman standing beside him, and shrugged at him: "Mr. 'Assistant', I don't think I have any taboo questions, you can wait outside." ”

Herman got out of the car after dropping him off at his destination, because he didn't feel comfortable leaving Theorod alone in the face of a bombardment of questions from Vanity Fair reporters, who were known for digging into the hidden private lives of celebrities, and he was worried about how their problems would affect Theorod's spirit, especially when he tried to hide his illness from his doctor in the morning, which Herman didn't think was a good sign.

"I'm afraid you're thinking wrong, Mr. Lechte, you have a 'taboo' question, for example, if Mr. Russell mentions your Christmas in 1995, or why you left early at this year's Academy Awards dinner, how would you answer? The problem of being too aggressive by a journalist may not be able to be dealt with calmly even by a normal person, let alone you? Herman shook his head without saying anything.

"I think you're underestimating me, my good driver." Theolod smiled, Herman didn't quite understand the specific meaning of his smile at the moment, but he could tell that behind the smile was a proud soul, "If I could have been overwhelmed by even the slightest bit of a few tricky questions, I would have committed suicide countless times." ”

That's right, if he couldn't even bear the problems of the reporters, in his previous life, he would have died a long time ago.

Theolod's incomprehensible smile made Herman frown, and he chose to focus his attention on the room. He glanced at the layout of the room, pondered for a moment, and suddenly began to move the two single sofas and the glass coffee table next to it.

Perhaps Herman's behavior at the moment seemed a little inexplicable to others, but Theorod understood what he was doing. The psychiatrist before him once told him that the environment also has a certain impact on people's psychology, especially for more sensitive depressed patients. A cozy room layout is more relaxing than a room with rigid cold colors, and the furniture is also very carefully placed, and the doctor also specially brought a few decorators to Theolod's villa, first pointed out the furniture of his house, and then renovated the whole villa in a big way.

Herman was also at the moment, unable to change the dark gray sofa to a bright color, but he could change the position of the sofa that was too pressing, and then he opened the curtains, opened the window, and moved the flower arrangement on the windowsill to the glass coffee table.

"You'll sit here later." Herman gestured to the couch in front of him. Although he may seem rigid and unreasonable on the surface, he has a surprisingly thoughtful attention to small details. At this moment, he is referring to the sofa, on the left hand side is the glass coffee table with flower arrangement, the sofa is facing the window, and it is just shrouded in warm sunlight, and the person sitting on the sofa only needs to tilt his head slightly, he can see the curtains blown by the wind, and the scenery outside the window.

"What about you?"

Herman

He looked so vulnerable and helpless, so helpless that he needed to see someone he knew during the interview to feel at ease? His depression is not the disease-free □□ of a frail teenager, and he is not so pretentious that he can't deal with himself without others, maybe Herman is making too much of a fuss......

Theolod narrowed his eyes slightly, hiding the helpless or knowing smile in his eyes, sat comfortably on the sofa, and folded his legs very elegantly: "Assistant, pour me a glass of water." ”

......: "Since you were misunderstood by others, you still kick your nose in the face, don't you?"

Theorod waited in the room for a while, and Edward walked in with a notebook. The interview questions naturally didn't make it so difficult for Theolod at first, and Edward was also a funny person, and doing this for a long time allowed him to learn various ways to save the scene and save the embarrassing situation, but so far Theorod has been quite cooperative, which made Edward, who is used to seeing difficult stars, secretly relieved.

"Theo, you know I'm going to have to ask you some gossip questions now, because our editor-in-chief is also interested in your private life." Edward appropriately joked, "All the news about you now seems to be in terms of movies and acting, in everyday life, I mean when you're not acting, how do you pass the time?" ”

"I remember mentioning this before, when I'm fine, I like to stay at home and watch movies because my sofa is so comfortable." Theolod smiled, and patted the sofa under him by the way, "It's more comfortable than this one." ”

"Oh, then you must tell me the brand of your sofa, and I will also change it for my home, to see how comfortable it is, so that you can not go out of the door. Won't your friends complain about it? ”

"I don't think so, because they're busy too. I didn't move to Los Angeles for long, and most of my friends were insiders, and their schedules were always staggered with mine. ”

"What about Harmony Colin? He's about the same age as you, and I've heard that you have a good relationship, and it's said that Harmony gave you a roast suckling pig during the filming of "Kid Strange"? ”

"Haha, yes, because he wants to make a bet with me that if I can't kill that roast suckling pig, he'll have the money to buy a ring for his girlfriend. Alas, sorry, Hamm. Theolod said, shrugging his shoulders with his hands outstretched, making an innocent look.

"Speaking of Kid Strange, can you tell us about when it's going to be released? You see, now even the trailer for "Devil's Advocate" is about to be released, and your second film is still nowhere to be seen, which makes us all very curious. ”

"On that note, I think you should tug at Hamm's collar and make him spit it out, this guy is actually more casual and willful than me, I heard that he wants to take his baby to this year's Venice International Film Festival to see it, I think then you will know how this movie is really cult."

"That's August 27 of this year? Well, let's wait and see. Still, Theo, I do find that you seem to have a soft spot for cult movies? With the exception of "Fear of the First Degree," almost all of your subsequent films can be associated with cult, including the upcoming "Devil's Advocate," which is a drama/thriller category, but at the end of the day, it's also a high-budget cult film. ”

"Actually, I think what you say is a bit one-sided, Edward, I don't have a soft spot for cult movies, I just appreciate some good cult movies. Niche is not a crooked way, I love acting, and naturally I love all movies, I think every movie has its reasons and value, even if it is favored by Jin Sumei. And I just want to show you the good aspects. ”

"Well, I'm sure the academics must be distressed, after all, they just handed you an Oscar nomination this year, and that's what the vast majority of people are saying. When it comes to those award ceremonies, I can't help but mention your acceptance speech at the Golden Globes - I'm sure there are a lot of fans who care about the person you mentioned last - the person who walked with you through the difficult times, and I wonder who could have been so lucky, excluding the grandmother you thanked before...... Your mysterious girlfriend? You left early after the Golden Globes, is it also because of her? I understand that I want to celebrate with my loved ones. ”

Seeing that Edward had already asked the most crucial point, Herman changed his sitting position, staring directly at Theolod who was leaning on the sofa gracefully with cold gray eyes.

But when Theolod heard this, he just raised his forehead with a smile and shook his head: "Hey, actually, Edward, you weren't the first to ask me this question, the first to ask me was Al." I know that's been discussed in some of the gossip tabloids since then, but it's supposed to be 'him' and not 'her', I don't have a girlfriend yet, man, he's just a really good buddy. ”

"You know, he was the only one who helped me during my difficult years, except for Maggie, and given our situation, there is a good chance that his actions would have hurt himself and his family. I think I have to thank him, in a certain way, I have also got to this point because of his factors, so don't let me have a considerate girlfriend for some reason, he is afraid that he will strangle me. ”

A gossip was soaked in the soup, but Edward was not discouraged, he continued to follow Theorod's words and asked, "So you like considerate girls?" ”

"Are you going to help me make a dating statement? Then I have to think about it, maybe I can find my other half because of this? Theolod said, holding his chin with one hand and making a contemplative expression, "Actually, I don't have much requirements for the outside, I don't mind if the other party's appearance is ordinary, whether the body is perfect, I just want the other party to be a focused person, whether it is for emotions or for life goals." ”

"That person can be successful or ordinary, but he will definitely understand my choice, because I admit that there are times when I am really stubborn, and feelings are based on the understanding of both parties. Of course, the right amount of humor and pranks is good, and good cooking can be a big plus, and I've seen some fans on my forums say that just one meal can kidnap me...... Well, it does. ”

Theolod lowered his eyes to look at the vase beside him, his face teasing and tender, but his eyes seemed to be caught in some kind of memory. This made the psychiatrist, who had been highly attentive to Theorod since the beginning of this question, keenly sniff out a trace of abnormality.

"Maybe we'll have a fight, but after the argument, we can all calm down and think about each other's intentions from each other's perspectives. Maybe our relationship will be so good that it will look like an old couple who have been married for many years to outsiders, and we can be the first person we think of each other when we are in trouble, a life force or an indispensable part......"

"Maybe instead of being together sweetly and lovingly all day long, I prefer to support each other in a plain way."

Theolod said, and in the afterglow, he saw Herman standing up. So he closed his eyes slightly, and when he looked up at Edward, those complicated eyes returned to clarity again, and he smiled at him lightly, his tone relaxed and natural: "That's probably all I can think of." ”

Throughout, Theolod didn't use gender-specific words, but out of inertia, Edward took this person for "she" and winked at Theorod: "Look at how specific you describe it, could it be that you have a sweetheart?" ”

"Maybe this sweetheart is alive in my head."

"Well, maybe I can't pry your mouth open, maybe there is really such a person living in your heart." Edward said, "What about the early departure on the day of the Golden Globes? If you weren't going to spend time with your girlfriend, would you have gone home early to be with Maggie? ”

"Actually, I ran to the beach."

"By the sea?"

"It's a bit embarrassing to think about it now, do you really want to know? Well, think about it, how do you think a kid who has just entered Hollywood, who has just acted in his first movie and won a Golden Globe the following year, how do you think he should react? I was so nervous that I didn't even know what I was saying on the podium anyway, really, don't look at me so calm. Seeing so many excellent seniors at the banquet, I was a little panicked and didn't know what to do, so I slipped away, yes, I had to run to the beach to calm down. ”

Theolod covered his face, as if he was embarrassed to talk about the past, and even his ears were a little cute red.

"Maybe Al can't stand it anymore, so he keeps an eye on me at the Oscars so that I don't slip to the beach to blow the wind again. Well, that time I successfully controlled myself, and when I met those excellent directors and actors, I wouldn't rush to each other like a little fan to ask for autographs. ”

"Oh? I didn't expect our 'elegant little prince' Theo to have a little fan side. I don't know what happens when you meet fans, but I do know that some fans meet their idols like cheetahs with antelopes. For example, this photo, do you have an impression of it? It's said that this person is you, and you're being chased by your fans and have nowhere to run. Edward smiled and took out the photo he had prepared in advance, which was the one that the paparazzi had captured before, and the two figures in the photo were blurry and seemed to be holding hands.

Theorod looked at this photo and couldn't help but sigh in his heart - the question that Marshall guessed really came.
