Theolod hadn't arrived too early, and by the time he walked into the conference room, there were already a few people sitting in their seats, flipping through the script at random, or discussing it with others around him. Director Taylor Heckford was also on the scene, and when his assistant brought Theolod in, he was whispering something to Al Pacino.

"Oh, Theo, I was talking about you, and here you are. Heckford saw Theorod walking into the large conference room under the guidance of his assistant, smiled slightly, stood up, and introduced Theorod to the other actors present, and without knowing whether he intended or not, he put Al Pacino directly to the end.

"As for this ...... I think you know better than I know who he is. Heckford seemed to think of how the outside world could publicize Theolod and Pacino's relationship, and the smile on his face was a little more teasing, "Say hello to your idol and future partner?"

It seems that this matter cannot be erased. Theolod smiled helplessly in his heart, on the surface he looked a little nervous and excited when he saw his idol, and stretched out his hand to Pacino nervously: "Hello, Mr. Pacino, you definitely don't know how excited I was when I heard that you were going to star in this film, if I could be in the same shot as you, even if I was just a trick, I would be willing." ”

"Haha, but you're the hero, kid, remember your identity, remember. Pacino greeted the "fan brother" with his trademark laugh. As a client, he certainly knew that in the eyes of the kid he seemed to be his idol, and he also knew, because he had obtained the position of one of the leading actors, how much pressure the media and certain avid fans put on the kid.

Although from his standpoint, he can't say anything to the media or help this kid without having substantive contact with Theolod, but he knows that gold always shines, and this kid can prove himself with his own strength, just like in "First Degree Fear". Although Pacino has not seen "First Degree of Fear", he still knows something about the shock caused by Theorod in directing.

In addition, the personality of this junior, who had Italian blood in his body like himself, did seem very likable, and their childhood experiences were so similar that Pacino didn't mind encouraging him.

Theorod was slightly stunned when he heard this, he saw his encouragement in Pacino's friendly smile, and he saw a subtle look in the faces of the others, and Theorod reacted - it seemed that in the eyes of others, he was now a poor newcomer who was under great pressure and was a little unconfident in himself?

Belch...... How many times does this misunderstanding have to be proved that he doesn't really care about the media comments at all? Theorod suddenly couldn't laugh or cry in his heart.

"Thank you. Theolod said, looking at Pacino's eyes with excitement, "I'll do my best to interpret this role." ”

After a brief conversation with the "opponent" he longed for, almost all the actors arrived. Heckford, who was in charge of the overall situation, arranged for everyone to sit in their corresponding positions, and he stepped aside from the circular table, holding a folding chair and sitting in the corner, leaving the main seat of the room to the actors.

Theolod and Pacino, as the male protagonists of this film, were naturally placed in the chairman's position and sat facing each other. Sitting to the right of Theolod is the heroine of the film, Kevin Romans' wife, and Marianne Romans' actor, Charlize Theron. And to the right of Pacino sits the supporting actress of the film, Satan's daughter, Kevin's half-sister, symbolizing the lust of the seven deadly sins, and the actor of Christa Bella Anderoli, who seduces Kevin, Connie Nelson.

The rest of the actors, according to the number of lines, surrounded the four of them. No matter how many lines there are, even if there is only one line, these actors have to come to this conference room and go through the lines in their entirety. And Heukford, who was sitting on the side, only acted as a "staff" for the narrator and the newspaper.

"Are you all ready?" Heckford stood on a folding chair, holding a script in his hand, his eyes swept over everyone in the room, as if counting the number of people and making sure everyone had a script, but when he set his eyes on the two leading actors, he found that there was no script in front of his two male leads.

It's normal for Al Pacino to go without a script, as his seriousness with his role allows him to memorize all his lines within a week of getting the script. And during the filming process, he doesn't need the staff to remind him what the lines are, which can often make his acting skills smoother and overwhelming in momentum. But......

What about this child?

"Theo, have you forgotten to bring a script?" Heckford reflexively thought of this reason, and it made his face a little unpleasant - he is a director who takes his work very seriously, and forgetting to bring a script when reading a script is undoubtedly stepping on his forbidden area.

"No, you're misunderstood, director," thick and black as Theorod, of course he knew what Hekford's face represented, so he immediately put on a sincere look and looked at Hekford with a hint of apology, "I just don't think I need to bring a script anymore...... Because I've memorized all the lines. And I'm still working this morning, and I'm in a hurry in the morning, so ...... I'm so sorry. ”

Heckford was slightly stunned, he didn't expect Theolod to memorize his own lines, in today's world when the lines are still scrolling on the screen during filming, there are fewer and fewer actors who are used to memorizing lines, especially young people, who are accustomed to relying on rolling subtitles on the side.

Of course, at this time, Heckford didn't know that Theolod had the "bad" habit of suddenly changing his lines during filming in addition to the habit of old-school actors memorizing lines.

Heckford certainly couldn't be stupid enough to think Theorod was lying, so he just gave him a suspicious look, then picked up the script and announced the official start of Act I.

The first act of "Devil's Advocate" is in court, where Kevin Romans defends a teacher who molested/molested underage girls. In this case, Kevin's conscience was questioned for the first time. He realizes that his client is indeed guilty, and that he has deceived himself. But as a defense lawyer, a good lawyer who has won 63 in a row, Kevin doesn't want to fold on this sixty-fourth time.

And when the court was adjourned, the cynicism of the reporters who had been following the case undoubtedly made Kevin, who was still hesitant for a moment, determined to win this victory and help a bastard he hated to get away with it.

Because he was too proud to withstand any agitation or defeat.

Even if he was just reading the lines, before it was time to actually shoot, Theolod had already fully entered the role. The moment he spoke, he easily changed his accent to a southern one, and he angrily accused his client of deceiving him, and the disgust and hatred in his blue-green eyes, and the flash of unease and irritability on his face, grabbed everyone's attention almost instantly.

He was angry because he had been deceived, because he was irritated by the failure and reputation damage that would come with abandoning his defense, and because if he continued to defend this beast/creature and made the evidence he collected public, then an innocent child would be saddled with the stigma of a, and the scum of his own guilt would continue to go unpunished and scourge other girls, so he was so uneasy that he wanted to leave this place and find a quiet corner to be quiet.

Theolod is not just a proud genius lawyer at the moment, but also a man who is struggling with humanity and desire.

Until he was stimulated by a journalist.

Heckford watched as the uneasiness and panic on Theolod's face gradually dissipated, and the indifference and ambition gradually spread over his clear and immaculate eyes, and this subtle change in expression made him almost feel the urge to pick up the video camera and film this qiē. This kid is fantastic, Heckford nodded secretly, but if these are not enough, he must at least be able to play normally under Pacino's suppression, and this movie can be even better.

However, as a newcomer, his appearance at the moment can no longer be described as amazing, after all, Heather Matarazzo, who is also a newcomer with him, plays the role of Barbara, the innocent girl victim, at this moment, under the suppression of Theorod's slow progression and the sudden outburst of emotions brewing to the end, he can only mechanically read the lines on the script.

"I ...... Sorry, I misread the line, I'll do it all over again...... I'm sorry......" The girl, who had only turned fourteen at the end of the year, blushed nervously, apparently Theolod was still at ease without the script, and the torch-like gaze that locked on her made her a little helpless.

Reading a line can be so miserable, and the other actors who will be working with Theorod can't help frowning and looking at their lines over and over again, for fear that they will also make these low-level mistakes when the time comes.

But...... They peeked at Al Pacino, who was sitting in place, calm and even a little interested, and they didn't know what would happen to the old and young man when they read the lines, knowing that the two of them had a lot of rivalry scenes, maybe ...... When the time comes, will this child be crushed to the point of incompleteness?

With careful thinking of one way or another, everyone finally waited for the scene where the two spoke to each other. When the curtain was over, almost everyone shifted their attention from the script to the young and old group sitting in the middle.

"Behind your back. Kevin Romans and John Milton first met in Milton's office, and when Kevin walked into the office, there was no one in the office, and Milton suddenly appeared behind Kevin and stopped him.

Kevin, who was carefully observing this office, was naturally startled, and a hint of guilt flashed on his face to secretly observe the captured bag - even if he was just reading the script, Theolod added his own facial expressions in order to get more into the play.

And Pacino was waiting for Theorod's reaction—as if he had known that Theorod would play Kevin's change of expression, and the moment his expression disappeared, he continued, with a strange smile on his face that seemed to be a smile that seemed to be friendly and evil-hearted.

"I'm sorry. ”

"No, don't say that. Theolod, no, Kevin also realized that the man sitting across from him was his boss, and he immediately said with some restraint, like every poor boy who comes from the country to see the big boss, "I'm Kevin Romes." ”

There was a faint pride on his face, a pride in the name—he was a victorious general with them.

And Pacino was also aroused by Theorod's response, and the meaning in Milton's smile suddenly disappeared in his precise grasp.

"John Milton. ”

"Nice to meet you. ”

Milton didn't answer, he looked at Kevin with a faint smile on his face, like a lamb already among the wolves, and although he smiled, the smile did not reach the bottom of his eyes. And he only lasted two seconds, and after two seconds, he became the boss of the storm in charge of a huge multinational company.

Everyone on the lookers looked at the old and the young, completely dumbfounded. Isn't it time to read the script? Shouldn't you be happy to get together and read the lines and then go home with peace of mind after discussing and discussing the experience? Why are you two sitting here and acting? Do you still take these people in your eyes? Director, look at these two crazy people who directly use their perverted line skills and aura to crush other actors, do you care?

When Theolod and Pacino first met, they were still a scene of fans and idols meeting and being harmonious and happy, but this pair began to come and go, and the other actors sat on the side and barely interjected. In the end, they could only sit aside with their lines, and after being crushed obediently, they quietly watched the acting skills of one big and one small that somehow became more and more intense.

It didn't take much time to read all the lines of the entire script, especially since there was still an old drama bone and a small drama spirit sitting in this conference room. Although it was painful when they were crushed, it was very pleasing to watch them play, so before I knew it, I finished reading the whole script.

This can be said to be the most hearty reading of the script.

"Theo, I'm glad I finally chose to take on this show, otherwise it would be a big pity to miss you. I'm looking forward to working together on October 28th, when it comes to getting to the bottom of the day. Afterwards, Pacino patted Theolod on the back very happily.

"I'm a little impatient, I'll do my best, Mr. Pacino. ”

"Come on, Pacino, Al, you pick, but I don't want to sound old, am I old?"

"No, you're glamorous at all times. ”

"Son, you have Italian ancestry, and I have Italian ancestry, so your Italian man's suit doesn't work on me, maybe you can try the German's set. ”

"Well, Pacino, you have to know that, in general, men are more attractive the older they get, and your current age is the most attractive stage for mature men. Theolod immediately changed his stern face and replied solemnly, which made Pacino laugh.

…… Although the two of you don't know each other, right...... But isn't it true that the two of you are so intense just now? Hey, 911? There are people here who abuse (nian) and treat (ya) actors!
