Although "Fight Club" is not the most difficult movie in Theolod's two lives to decide whether to participate in it, it can at least rank in the top ten. And every time this happens, Theolod would be a little upset and think about how good it would be if he didn't have this mental illness. Yes, he knew that he shouldn't always be pessimistic and negative, but he couldn't control it.

This year's Christmas was not a pleasant one, and if it weren't for Herman's strict restrictions on the amount of medication he could take each day, perhaps Theolod would have had to soak in these capsules for three meals a day. Despite his efforts to keep himself from looking too bothered, the dark circles under his eyes and the dwindling appetite had revealed his mental state, and even Maggie began to ask him with some concern if he had been stressed too much lately.

"That's enough, pick up your phone and call David Fincher back, immediately. If you're going to be in this state of mind whether you take on the role or not, you might as well take the script and at least you're doing what you love the most. Herman couldn't stand Theolod running to his house twice in three days, so he threw the other party's mobile phone directly into his arms. Disguise all the time is a tiring thing for anyone, at least in Herman's case, Theolod doesn't have to do it at all.

"Doctor, are you going to break the jar?" Theolod looked at Herman, a smile tugging at the corner of his mouth. He knew how haggard he looked now, but he wanted to eat more, but the food that had been so appealing to him before made him want to vomit now.

"So tell me, have you studied your Ripley this month, as you have done every time you have studied the characters in the script, and have you read the entire script?"

The smile on Theolod's face stiffened, because his answer was, no, he hadn't studied the script, let alone the characters, and he had only read the first page of the script.

So Theorod sighed, thought about it, and picked up his phone.

'Merry Christmas, Theo, I've been so nervous about this Christmas, and now I've finally waited for your call, I'm sure you have the answer by now?' Finch fulfilled his promise to be online twenty-four hours a day, and Theorod didn't have to wait long for him to get on the phone.

"Merry Christmas, Mr. Finch, I think I already have the answer, but before that, I have one more question. When Theolod applied his acting skills to life, no one could tell whether he was acting or not, and the same is true now, his voice sounded not much different from usual, and he still had the depressed and languishing look he had before.

'Well, you say?'

"Taylor's character...... Have you decided on a candidate?"

'This...... It's not settled yet, although I have the right person in mind, and I plan to contact him after the Christmas holidays. But, you ask this question......'

"That's right, because the character that intrigued me was Taylor, and I wanted to play this guy, but unfortunately that's a problem because you seem to want me to play Jack. Theolod smiled helplessly, "But I'm sorry for Jack...... He's also a really good guy, he's tough, but he can't inspire me to act, it's like a fit, you know?"

'Oh...... This is indeed a problem. How did you know I wanted you to play Jack, though?'

"It's simple, because you told me that my performance in "First Degree Fear" amazed you. In a way, the innocent Alan and Jack have something in common, and I'm sure you'll also get a picture of Jack when he is dominated by Taylor's personality when the truth is finally revealed, similar to Roy. It just so happens that my appearance is also very deceptive, most people think that I am only suitable for playing the role of Aries with a large contrast between the front and back, or a high-IQ criminal, "Strange Boy" is not obvious, but the contrast between Kevin before and after in "Devil's Advocate" induces people to be more sure that the mistake they have fallen into is correct. ”

"But I want to say that I don't want to be limited in my path, man, and there is actually no actor who wants to be limited by a specific role. I can't say if anyone else has the ability to handle multiple roles, but I'm sure I do. I know you're doubting whether I'll be able to play Taylor, the unruly, rebellious, uncontrollable, and even sociopathic ruffian who is violent, but I just want to say, Mr. Finch, have you forgotten my past?"

Most people in Hollywood know that the past of the "good baby" and "good boy" Theo Rod Lecht is just that his appearance and image at the moment are so deceptive that many times people will forget that Theo Rod has a bad boy past.

Well, Theo, because I can't decide the role of this movie alone, and after the Christmas break, how about we find a time to meet somewhere and meet somewhere? I'll talk to Twentieth Century Fox about that, because they really want you to play Jack too." Finch opted for a compromise interview method, and if Theolod really wasn't a good fit for Taylor, they would be able to convince him to try Jack.

Theolod hung up the phone, feeling the big rock that had been hanging in his heart crash to the ground, and the feeling of relief even made his nerves, which had been tense all his time, completely relax, and he leaned back on the sofa in Herman's house, finally feeling physical and mental tiredness and muscle aches.

"You need a good night's sleep, Mr. Lecht. Herman stood aside, half a sleeping pill in his hand, and a glass of warm water, "I'll send you back in the evening." ”

Theolod did not refuse, he was indeed tired now, so he took the medicine Herman gave him and went into his bedroom.

Herman helped Theolodra close the curtain and closed the door. To be honest, Theolod was indeed different from all the patients he had dealt with before, and he wasn't even sure if this kid would end up on that dead end. Unable to think of anything, Herman poured a glass of wine, slumped on the couch, and looked up at the ceiling.

I don't know how long later, there was a knock at the door, very soft, as if he was afraid of disturbing the people in the room, if it weren't for Herman's ears, I'm afraid he wouldn't have heard anyone outside the door.

So he put down his glass and walked to the door of the apartment, opening a crack slightly. After seeing the person clearly, he walked out, came to the door, leaned against the door, and looked at each other with his hands on his chest.

"I hope your method really works, you know it's not in line with the principles I've adhered to since I started my medical career, Mr. Pope. Herman said.

"Your principle is to promise your patient that you will never try to treat him, and help him hide his illness and indulge him?"

"No, I never wanted to see my patients go to the end of their lives. "If I hadn't said yes then, I'm afraid he would have terminated my contract with me and had gone to another quack." ”

"It's better to let him do what he likes than to make him sick because he can't act, which is usually too precocious bastard when he starts to hesitate when he encounters something about acting, and someone has to help him make a decision. Natel said, sighing, "Is there any wine?"

"Are you coming by car or taxi?"

"It's your business. ”

Herman raised an eyebrow, reluctantly went back to the house and got a bottle of wine for the other party, and gave it to Nattel, who was standing in the hallway sneakily.

Satisfied, Nattel took a long sip of wine into the bottle before saying, "How is he doing now?"

"At least asleep. ”

"Isn't that good? You were still squirming and hesitating. ”

“…… I can't reveal anything about your patient, so I can only give you one piece of advice if he does take on Fight Club...... You'd better keep an eye on him, and if necessary, you'll never leave. Herman stared at Natl sternly, "I'm serious, he was the only one by his side at that time." ”

"Do you need to talk nonsense?" Nattel rolled his eyes and turned to walk towards the elevator with the bottle, leaving Herman with a dashing back.

After a matter of heart, Theorod's mental state gradually improved. Thinking back on the chaotic life in the past month, Theolod was a little ashamed, he didn't even read the script of "The Genius Ripley"! This was simply an unforgivable thing for him, and he even began to spit on his mother-in-law and mother as soon as he became ill.

So, Theolod, who had just recovered his mental state, picked up the script and studied it again in the next second. Ripley's genius lies in his unfazed handling and superb camouflage skills, which rely on the acting skills of the actors, which are easy to deal with, but what is really difficult is the emotional changes of the character throughout the stage from the beginning to the end.

But before Theolod could concentrate on Ripley's emotional changes, he received an interview invitation from Fincher at Twentieth Century Fox's company, where he met with Qiē Anchafen, one of the producers of "Fight Club."

Theolod understands that this will be an opportunity to change his screen image at the moment, and if "Two Smoking Guns" isn't enough to say anything, then Taylor can.

January 4th, Century City on the west side of Beverly Hills.

It is the headquarters of Twentieth Century Fox, and over the course of 63 years, Twentieth Century Fox has become one of the most important film production and distribution companies in today's society. With hundreds of films released for nearly half a century, it dominates the film industry, but from the outside, its corporate headquarters is anything but glorious.

"Honestly, David, I don't think this kid has the temperament to handle Taylor. In a conference room at Twentieth Century Fox headquarters, Chesschafen said to David Fincher, who was sitting next to him, "Every actor has his own fixed routine, how to choose a role depends not only on the role itself, but also on the actor's understanding of his own ability, it is clear that Lecht is still young, after all, he has not been in the industry for a long time, and many people have to spend years or even decades to understand what kind of role is suitable for them, this kid has not yet explored this way." ”

"Maybe, maybe not, who knows?" said Fincher, "after all, he does have personal experience as a support for Taylor, and I've heard that his character in Two Smoking Guns is also a very different guy than his previous roles." ”

"I hope so, but I still think Jack is the best fit for him. As for Taylor...... Brad Pitt's temperament is quite compatible. Chean Chafin shrugged.

At this time, her assistant knocked on the door of the conference room and informed them that Theorod had arrived and was waiting outside the door.

The two looked at each other, nodded, and motioned for the assistant to invite Theolod in.

However, compared to Chel'anchafen's full of suspicion, David Fincher was very expectant and curious, and he wanted to see how Theolod handled the role of Taylor.
