The crew is really lively today, Michael Fassbender is a little restrained and looks around, although the "day after tomorrow" crew is far larger, but I don't know why, after entering the "Borrowed Knife Killing" crew, he feels more pressure, as if there is a suffocating tension in the air.

Standing in place, Michael was a little at a loss, not knowing where he should report - it was the first day of filming, and there was no role for him, and then he saw the direction of the dressing table, and a man raised his right hand high, waving it loudly, and shouting "Michael Fassbender" in his mouth in the suffocated German.

When he looked closely, it was Cole Greid, Michael hurriedly walked up, and then he saw Tom Cruise surrounded not far away, his pace gradually slowed down involuntarily, and he looked at Tom who was talking and laughing with a dumbfounded eye, and his eyes were full of incredulity.

"I couldn't believe my eyes, I thought he was joking." A mature and intellectual voice sounded next to him, and Michael turned his head to look over, and then he saw Kate Beckinsale's unforgettable eyebrows.

Michael was stunned for a moment, then showed a wry smile, "I only found out about this fact three seconds ago." Then Michael took a serious look at Kate, "And then a second ago, I found out that the cast of the movie is so strong." Michael held out his right hand and introduced himself, "Michael Fassbinder, who is about to play the role of Fanning. ”

"Kate Beckinsale, I'm playing the role of Annie." Kate also shook Michael's right hand in a friendly way, and looked back at Cole, who was standing three steps away behind him, "So, didn't Cole tell you about the cast of the movie before?" Kate could read the truth of Michael's heart in Michael's barely concealed expression.

"Uh...... No. Michael shook his head. Thinking back to what happened in the past few days, all the Yiqiē was like a dream, even more incredible than the successful audition "the day after tomorrow", "I was just told. This movie puts forward strict requirements for acting skills, which is why I got the role, but ......"

Before he could say the rest of the words, a bustling and restless sound interrupted the train of thought, and Michael only saw that everyone in the area in front of him was looking in one direction. Including Kate in front of him and Cole not far away, Michael also turned his head to look over, and then saw Lance's figure.

A light gray vertical striped collarless shirt, a pair of smoke-gray provincial casual suit pants, and a pair of light brown oxford shoes, revealing a restrictive outfit in simplicity, meticulously outlining the sturdy and well-proportioned figure, the proportion of the tall and straight body and the broad shoulders and narrow waist has been exerted to the extreme in the simplification of the dress; The sharp and sharp round inch of the cheeks shows off the edges and corners of the cheeks, but the grace is added by a pair of wooden-framed glasses on the bridge of the nose, and the sharp sword eyebrows are hidden behind the frames. The thrilling blue looms deep in the lenses, like the thin sunlight falling over a cloudless blue sky, glittering with gold on the intoxicating blue of the Mediterranean.

Lance walked over briskly with a steady pace, attracting the attention of everyone around him without much effort, even Tom Cruise couldn't help but turn his head to look at it, his eyes flashing with anticipation. However, Lance unexpectedly did not go to Tom first, but walked to Cole's side. By the way, he gestured in the direction of Michael Kate with his eyes, which caught Michael off guard, nodded in a panic, and then realized that his movements seemed too stupid. But when he wanted to save it, he found that Lance had looked away, and he couldn't help but scratch the back of his head in annoyance.

Lance patted Cole's arm and chuckled, "You actually showed up too, before the mission was completed." You're not welcome in the crew. ”

Cole also laughed dullly twice and shot back, "Don't be a bastard. ”

Lance raised an eyebrow and said nothing more, turning and walking towards Tom's position, before stopping in front of a muscular bald man. Michael didn't recognize the man, and couldn't help but whisper, "Who is that?" Kate didn't look back, and replied in a low voice, "One of Tom's agents, Terrence Cox, is an innovative artist. ”

"Mr. Cox is not on business today?" Lance still had a polite smile on his face, but from the salutation and words, it was clear that the proximity was close and close. In fact, after the list of actors who "borrowed a knife to kill" was determined, Lance had already made his position clear, how could an old fox like Terrance not see it, so there was no need for Lance to hide it.

Terrance didn't seem to notice the difference in Lance's attitude, and smiled, feeling like the cloudless weather today, "That's my most important job today." Then Terrance took over the initiative and walked in Tom's direction, "Everyone is looking forward to the official start of this production." ”

I looked around, but I didn't see Wade Russell, I don't know if this is an internal decision of the innovative artist agency, or a decision made by Tom Cruise - the relationship between Wade and Lance is quite harmonious, after that audition, Wade called Lance once to test the possibility of Lance signing with the innovative artist agency; But the relationship between Lance and Terence is noticeably more strained.

In the midst of his thoughts, Lance had come to Tom, who smiled widely, stood up and gave Lance a warm hug, "You don't look like a taxi driver." "Today's schedule is very interesting, mainly for Lance's role, and the first one will see Lance appear; But Tom only had one scene, a warm-up.

Lance chuckled twice, "You don't look like a professional killer either." ”

But the problem is that Tom has actually finished dressing up at this time, with a white shirt and a light gray suit, a short silver hair neat and neat, and a well-groomed beard that makes the whole person vicissitudes, and those translucent eyes seem to be hidden under the gray hair, completely dimmed.

It can be seen that in order to play the role of Vincent, Tom made a huge sacrifice, and after the change of hair color, he directly made his whole person more than ten years old, and the chic temperament of style/flow/suave disappeared; But it can still be seen that Tom's team has made unremitting efforts to protect his image, and has not essentially changed Tom's appearance.

Lance is well aware that Tom's "image" is a brand in itself, which hides great commercial value. Tom is not just an A-list actor in Hollywood, but it is not an exaggeration to say that he alone maintains the financial interests of a team of hundreds of people.

Most famously, in June 2005, Tom starred on the "Oprah Talk Show," where he jumped on the couch and jumped up and down to announce that Katie-Holmes had accepted his marriage proposal. This frivolous behavior of the hairy boy sparked a heated discussion in the United States, Yan zhòng affected his personal image, and in the next at least a year, his outrageous actions became a point of ridicule, and as a result, the box office of his cooperation with Steven Spielberg "War of the Worlds" was far from meeting expectations, and many industry experts analyzed that this event has an important relevance.

Tom's influence on Hollywood is more profound than that of George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Leonardo DiCaprio and others - but the title of "the first true American icon after the arrival of the box office era" has also become a shackle that he cannot shake off. Even though Tom is forty-two years old this year, he still has to show the image of an "idol".

Hearing Lance's words, Tom didn't react, and always retained that charming sunny smile on his face, but Terrance and the other staff members standing next to him couldn't help but change their faces, obviously very dissatisfied with Lance's offense. In their opinion, Tom had sacrificed a flowing hair, and Lance was not satisfied, and wanted to gain an inch, which was simply unacceptable.

Lance didn't seem to feel the other people's gaze at all, he raised his hands and pressed the corners of his mouth, pulled down, and flattened his lips, "First of all, you have to put away this smile full of the 'Tom Cruise' logo, if necessary, during the filming phase, you'd better avoid any kind of smile;" This sentence made Terrance take a half step forward directly, as if he wanted to refute Lance, but Tom took half a step ahead and raised his hand to stop Terrance, and Lance had no intention of pausing at all, and continued to speak, "Also, you'd better wear a pair of contact lenses, brown or gray, the color of your pupils is too attractive."

Vincent is a killer and wearing glasses is not suitable, so he must cover it up with contact lenses; In fact, Max is the same, Lance chose glasses, on the one hand, to cover the color of the pupils, and on the other hand, he deliberately chose thick lenses in the style of beer bottle bottoms, which also showed some of the characteristics of otaku.

Lance knew that Tom's image was crucial, and even if he made Tom "disfigured", it is estimated that his team would not allow it, but some changes were necessary. Although Tom in front of him is no longer very conspicuous, it is still not enough, far from reaching an ordinary level.

Tom looked at Lance carefully, in fact, this face was already a huge shock, he had actually been on the street for three hours before, and he was only recognized by two people, Tom thought that this was enough. However, now that Lance is just a face, he has once again made harsh demands...... Tom was silent for a moment, the smile on his lips slowly retracted, and finally nodded, "No problem."
