274 Midnight Surprise

The rich night became more and more publicized because of the precipitation of midnight, but the noise did not become depressed because of the progress of time, on the contrary, it became more and more lively, more and more noisy, more and more boiling, this is Friday night, carnival night, the pressure and irritability that had been accumulated for a whole week were completely released tonight, after twelve o'clock in the night, the pie duì had just begun, and the noisy scene on the street was boiling all the way down.

"Michael, the list for table seven can be served." The bartender's voice came from the bar, and Michael Fassbender looked back at the customer before looking back at the customer in front of him, "So, a plate of seafood chowder, a plate of potato chips, and two draught beers." Once the order was confirmed, Michael quickly walked to the bar, handed the list to the bartender, and then picked up his plate and walked over to table seven.

Before the things could be put down, a guest shouted from behind him, "Waiter, clean up the table here." Michael answered, but found that the bar was so noisy that he had to yell, but after yelling, his throat itched so badly that his vocal cords were tired all night, and he didn't have time to rest at this time.

Michael quickly put the contents of the plate down at table seven, then turned and walked briskly. Then he paused, and all he could see was a mess on the table, and Michael felt his stomach churn - the wine glass was full of vomit, and there was a large ball of paper towels stuffed in it, so that the vomit overflowed, and the fries platter next to it was sprinkled with ketchup and hoisin sauce, and scattered vomit was like a goddess scattering flowers, and cigarette butts and saliva were directly spit on it.

For a moment, Michael wanted to flip the table, curse, and then turn away with his eyebrows raised. But, he knew he couldn't. originally thought that after the release of "The Day After Tomorrow", his life would be turned upside down, but the cruel reality told him that the so-called Hollywood fairy tales were just dreams woven from movies. He's still a little actor. is still a small character running between countless auditions.

Taking a deep breath, Michael took another deep breath before he stepped forward and said to the guest standing next to him. "Sorry, I'm going to get the trash can and clean it up." Then he walked briskly towards the bar, and the phone in his pocket vibrated and Michael's head was lowered and he took out his phone and glanced at it. It was an unfamiliar number, but before he could think about it, the guests behind him began to urge again. Michael could only put his phone in his pocket and continued to get busy.

It's always the case on Fridays, even though there are five waiters on duty, but the whole bar is still busy, and before a table of guests can leave, a table of guests is already waiting, and there are still twenty or thirty guests gathered at the door, each with a bottle of beer in his hand. The eyebrows fluttered and they talked, and the atmosphere was so lively.

Michael looked down at the tip he had just received, and it was only seven percent - the minimum standard of tip, which was to be shared equally among all the waiters, and above that was his personal income. This made Michael exhale softly - it was true that boys tipped a lot less than girls, but he couldn't help it, if he didn't work again, he wouldn't have any source of income.

Not long ago, he played a small role in "The Day After Tomorrow", and he could get a salary of 50,000 US dollars. But he only paid 10,000 yuan before the movie was released, and the rest of the money had to be credited to his account after the movie was offline - and taxes had to be deducted, which also means that he really didn't have too much money left recently.

Michael Fassbender packed up his feelings. And I started to get busy again. Finally a little less busy, the bar was full, and the guests at the door had a beer, at least Michael could catch his breath, smoke a cigarette, and then come back to get back busy.

"Frank." Michael shouted to the bartender and made a gesture to smoke a cigarette. Then he walked towards the alley behind, and after turning into the alley, he chased after him with trivial steps, and when he looked back, it was a colleague, he squinted his eyes, "What's wrong?" ”

With an excited look on her face, Jessica-Chastain ran in front of Michael with a brisk step, and then leaned against the wall, "I'm done smoking a cigarette, you give me one." "When the pressure is high, they all gather here to enjoy a cigarette.

Michael handed one to Jessica, then took another one in his mouth, lit it up, and took out his phone at the same time, looked at the missed call, looked at the number, and tried to awaken the memory in his mind. Jessica, who was standing next to her, glanced at Michael and found that he had no intention of speaking, but after all, she couldn't help it, biting her lower lip and saying, "Hey, sue you for a message, I haven't sued anyone else yet, but ......"

There was an irrepressible excitement in those concise words, Michael raised his head, and then saw Jessica nodding slightly, with joy between her eyebrows, "But it's settled, I got my first role in life." ”

"Oh God!" Michael's eyes widened, "Congratulations! After saying that, realizing that he was a little sloppy, he immediately gave Jessica a hug, "I mean really, congratulations!" ”

In Hollywood, eight out of ten waiters are young people with acting dreams, especially in Beverly Hills and Century City, where everyone has the dream of "being suddenly discovered by a talent scout and becoming famous in one fell swoop", looking forward to being able to get up close and personal with those top stars. However, there are only a handful of people who can really succeed.

Jessica is the same age as Michael, but Jessica's dream of being an actor is more bumpy than Michael's. At least, Michael starred in "Band of Brothers", and there are also many scenes in "The Day After Tomorrow", thanks to the recent hit of the movie, someone can already recognize him when he recently worked in a bar; But Jessica never received a role, not even a supporting role - Hollywood's discrimination and harshness against women are everywhere.

Today, Jessica got her first role, and Michael was naturally genuinely happy for her, "Sue me, sue me for all the details!" ”

"Don't be so serious, just a small role." Jessica also looked a little shy, but still plucked up the courage to say, "It's a TV movie called 'Shadows,' and I play a small role in it. I thought, maybe that's a good start, maybe I'll be able to find a broker. ”

Michael has not found an agent so far, and there are many people who want to become famous stars in the land of Los Angeles, and there are also many fake agents who want to cheat their dreams. Of course, there are many regular agents who have found Michael, he had an agent before, but after never getting the opportunity to perform, Michael can no longer pay for hiring an agent, so he reverts to being single, but unexpectedly takes over the "day after tomorrow". After that, Michael became much more cautious in choosing his agent.

"Of course, of course." Michael grinned, showing his white teeth, "It's a great start." Sue sΓΉ I have all the details of my audition, fast, sue sΓΉ all the details of my audition. Michael couldn't wait to speak, and Jessica was eager to speak, but the mobile phone in Michael's hand began to vibrate again at this time, and Michael looked down at the phone, it was the unfamiliar number he didn't know just now!

"Answer the phone!" Jessica's eyes widened, and she said as a matter of course, seeing that Michael was still a little hesitant, she encouraged again, "You've been restless tonight, isn't it because of this phone call?" Jessica apparently noticed Michael's mind wandering.

Although it was already past midnight and it must have been an acquaintance who called, Michael still had difficulty concentrating, always worried that it would be a call from the crew or the actors' union, even though he knew that it was absolutely impossible, but the hope in his heart was still inevitably boiling......

Michael spread his hands and smiled apologetically at Jessica, "Sorry, I answered the call quickly, and you promise to tell me all the details of the audition." Jessica nodded vigorously, and then Michael picked up the phone, "Good evening, this is Michael." ”

"Good evening, this is Lancelot."

Michael was directly stunned in place, and did not react at all, Jessica saw Michael in a daze, poked her head and cast an inquiring gaze, and Michael came back to his senses, "Uh...... Yes, good evening, I mean, Mr. Strello. Michael only felt that he was undivided and incoherent, and he didn't know what he was thinking, "Do you have something to do with me?" ”

In the "Day After Tomorrow" crew, Lance has always been an absolute authoritative director, and he rarely has private contact with the actors. Of course, even if Lance has a close personal relationship with the actor, Michael's level has not reached this level, so there is no way to know. At this point, Michael had no idea that Lance would call him - so the caller ID on his phone was an unfamiliar number.

"There is a ...... Look at you...... How's ......" Lance's words came intermittently from the other end of the phone, and Michael had to walk in the direction of the alley, but it was accompanied by the noisy sound of the bar, and the lively scene swept away the coldness of the night, and when he could finally hear it clearly, Lance had stopped, and Michael couldn't help but be a little embarrassed, "Sorry, the signal was not good just now, I didn't hear clearly." ”

Because it was very noisy, Michael raised his voice and shouted, and then he heard a low laugh on the other end of the phone, like a canoe sailing on the sea in the middle of the night, but the sound of the waves was so clear, "I'm working on a new film project, and I have a role in my hand that is perfect for you." So I asked, if you are willing to act, you can sign a contract with the company tomorrow. ”

Whoa, whoa...... The sound of the waves mixed with the crowd came one after another, pushing Michael up into the sky little by little, the feeling of floating in the sky, as if he could clearly feel the wind swarming from all directions, making him want to spread his wings and fly high, but before he could kick his legs, he felt the emptiness that he couldn't reach the world and the ground, as if all the qiΔ“ was just a dream.
