32. Everyone has a different path5.
Gu Qing pushed Professor X for a walk in the garden outside the academy, and occasionally he could hear the noise of the students. It's early summer now, and everything looks full of life.
Professor X listened to Gu Qing tell the results of their joint efforts during this time, and his voice was pure and natural, as if a breeze was gently blowing, and the haze that had accumulated in Professor X's heart was blown away.
"Didn't you see how ugly Robert Straker's face was at that time, well, in two days, I will show my loyalty as Eric Xavier again, and say that I will quit the Straker Industries' research project on mutant genes, and go back to school to continue reading. For the final thesis, I have already finished the first draft, and I am only missing the practical part of it, and I think I have found a particularly novel way to practice. You also know that my final thesis was on dual personality, and I was going to audition for a set in two days, and they were now casting a main actor, and that involved dual personality. Gu Qing's words were full of expectations for the future, and even the end of the words was in an upward tone, which made people can't help but smile when they hear it.
Because this is the youth that should fly wantonly and have the courage to try.
Professor X couldn't laugh, he couldn't help but call Gu Qing's name, "Eric." ”
Gu Qing walked up to Professor X, squatted down and looked at Professor X, his usually blue eyes began to become hollow, "I'm sorry, Professor X, I lied to you." I told you that we would be able to go back when the crisis was resolved, but it wasn't. I was created to complete this mission from which there is no return. ”
Without Gu Qing's permission, even Professor X wouldn't be able to sense his mental fluctuations, but if sometimes his mental fluctuations exceeded a certain range, Professor X could sense them, such as now. But the fragments of memories he sensed made him feel uncomfortable - after all, the fact that a single individual was not born naturally, but was created like an inorganic object, was difficult for most people to accept, let alone Professor X, who was naturally emotional and soft-hearted.
"I'm sorry." Gu Qing quickly went into mental isolation, and in the face of Professor X's worried gaze, Gu Qing lowered his head in shame, he sometimes felt a little at a loss to get along with a good old man like Professor X. So it was very rare for him not to get along with Professor X anymore, and Professor X sighed in his heart.
Laser-Eye walked over to this side in confusion and pushed Professor X's wheelchair, "Eric, is he in a hurry?" I saw that he was in a hurry, and asked me to come over to accompany you. "Generally, this kind of earnest care of Professor X, as long as Gu Qing is there, where will it be someone else's turn.
Professor X smiled helplessly and said, "This kid." ”
Even if Gu Qing didn't confess, Professor X could see some clues from his past appearance. After all, if you have truly experienced the hellish end times, how can you have eyes as clear as a child? and Hank once mentioned that once Gu Qing said that the knowledge he got was directly instilled; Also, the body into which his consciousness enters is not the body that he has existed in the past, which means that only his consciousness has been transmitted.
Regarding the last point, Hank also mentioned it before. He believes that the simple transmission of spiritual bodies is very dangerous, and if one operation is not careful, it is very likely to be torn apart by space. Therefore, in addition to Gu Qing, there is also an unconscious android. The android named David is more likely to be on the mission......
In this way, maybe it will be better for this child not to go back, at least now, he can see the future and have his own life.
Gu Qing, who fled under Professor X's tolerant gaze, was covering his face and sighing at the moment, a little wolf, but if he really met a person like Professor X who was steady, gentle and had a sense of justice, he would feel lucky. Thinking of this, Gu Qing asked David, "Have you located the trace of Magneto?" ”
David shook his head, "The last positioning failed, and it is being re-checked." ”
Did he really let him call "Mommy" all over the world? As soon as this thought came to mind, the corners of Gu Qing's mouth couldn't help but turn up.
……
"Fear of the First Degree" is a crime drama produced by Paramount Pictures, the film tells the story of a horrific murder that shocked the whole city in Chicago, the bishop of a local church, Rosen, was brutally killed, and a mysterious number was engraved on his body, and the police arrested the suspect Allen, who was covered in blood at the scene. Martin, a famous lawyer, rushes to prison and becomes Allen's defense lawyer, who doesn't care who is right and who is wrong, but wants to win this lawsuit that shocks the whole city.
Coincidentally, the plaintiff's prosecutor, Janet, is Martin's ex-girlfriend. With all the evidence unfavorable to Allen, Martin changed his strategy and emphasized that Allen was mentally ill (dual personality) in order to exonerate Allen, and Martin succeeded. But at the end of the story, there was a shocking reversal......
The actor in the film, lawyer Martin, and the heroine Janet have already chosen actors, Richard Gere, who is famous for "The Officer and the Gentleman" and "Pretty Woman", and Laura Linney, who is making her big screen debut but has a lot of experience in theater performance.
Now the crew is busy with the casting of the church boy, that is, Allen, because this role is second only to the leading actor, and it also requires young actors to have superb acting skills, which alone is enough to brush off the vast majority of the 2,100 people who auditioned for this role.
Director Gregory Hobridge took a sip of strong coffee to refresh herself, and was about to exchange opinions with Ann Badman, one of the screenwriters, when she saw her staring at the door, Grigory Hobright followed her gaze, Rao had also seen many good-looking young people in the previous auditions, and he couldn't help but light up at this time.
The young man who just came in was about twenty years old, he had a thin and tall figure, handsome to some facial features that could be described as exquisite, those blue eyes were clear and bright, and he was dressed with a student spirit, and on the whole, it was like a fresh and natural wind, which made people feel very comfortable. Especially when he showed a shy smile, people were embarrassed to strain their faces.
"Eric Xavier, huh?" Gregory Hoblitt originally mentioned a lot of interest, but after looking at the other party's resume, he couldn't help frowning, for no other reason, this young man who seemed to be very similar to Allen in appearance and temperament did not have any acting experience, including stage plays and TV series.
Ann Bardeman naturally saw the director's disappointment, she thought for a moment and said, "You're from Harvard, right?" That's what it says on your resume. May I ask, what is your major and why do you want to audition? ”
Gu Qing licked her lips, "I have a Ph.D. in genetics and biological sciences, and I am currently doing the final practical number supplement for my doctoral dissertation in psychology. Well, I think it's a very novel way to play a dual personality patient, and my dissertation will definitely shine in my supervisor's eyes. "His eyes light up when he talks about his studies. However, when he finished speaking, looking at the director and screenwriter with blank faces, he couldn't help but scratch his neat hair, which had been tidied up, and said embarrassedly: "Can't you?" ”
Director and screenwriter: "......"
Ann Bardeman reacted first, she felt that she really couldn't say no to such a beautiful and pitiful face, "It's not impossible, so let's talk about your understanding of dual personality." ”
Grigory Hobritt glanced at Ann Bardeman, sighing inwardly for a woman, a woman, but gradually his eyes widened as he looked at the young man in front of him who had been labeled as a nerd, and as he interpreted the dual personality, his whole person changed.
"The second personality has a character that the first personality will not have-" Gu Qing, who originally looked like a harmless and obedient student, changed from his sitting posture, to his eyes, and even to the feeling that the whole person gave people. The back of the originally habitually bowed is straight, and the originally clear and soft eyes are infused with a bit of coldness and rebelliousness. Although he was still wearing clothes with a strong preppy style, and although he still had that good-looking face, his whole person was sharp. When those blue eyes looked straight into the past, Gregory Hobritt seemed to see through them that the demon in him was smiling and breaking through the ground.
When Gu Qing's eyebrows crooked into a wicked smile, Gregory Hobritt remembered a sentence: he is half angel and half demon.
I have to say that Gu Qing left such a deep impression on him that in the next audition, Gregory Hobritt was a little absent-minded. So after five more auditions, Gregory Hobridge signaled a timeout, looked at Ann Badman, and the two of them said in unison, "Eric Xavier!" ”
Gregory Hobritt clapped: "That's him!" ”
Ann Badman smiled at the memory of something, and shrugged her shoulders to meet the curious glances of the others, and said, "The little beets cultivated by Harvard University are coming to our bowls." ”
Remembering his glittering academic credentials, Gregory Hobritt laughed too. Speaking of Hollywood, there are not many highly educated people, most of them are behind-the-scenes people such as directors and screenwriters, and they are basically related majors, but what kind of doctor is this young man in genetics and biology, I'm afraid I can't find a second one.
Originally, I was a little worried that the producer would not have a good time, after all, Gu Qing had no acting experience and was not famous at all, but I didn't expect the producer Hawk Koch to agree happily after reading the information they handed in, but his expression was a little subtle.
Originally, if the director and screenwriter did not have the name of the person on the list submitted, he originally planned to use his authority to appoint him. Unexpectedly, the director was very optimistic and ranked the name Eric Xavier as the first candidate, which saved him any more effort. Thinking that he could get that favor without much effort this time, although it is not a big deal, but given that Paramount Pictures and Twentieth Century Fox have a big cooperation with an investment of more than 100 million, if the cooperation is successful, then his position in the studio sent to Mongol will have to be moved up.
