"Five minutes to go."

Hathaway looked at the time on her phone's screen.

A trailer was playing on TV, she had been watching this trailer for almost a week, grabbed a handful of popcorn from the paper tube next to her, glanced at the listless girlfriend next to her, shook her head helplessly, and ate it by herself.

An Lisa is Hathaway's best friend, this time she was dragged by her best friend to her home to watch a TV series called "Atlantic Empire" together, which made her feel very bored, she hated gangster stories, hated stories without handsome guys, she felt that the most disgusting people in the world were those gangsters who fought and killed, vulgar, violent, and uncultivated. So, she felt that she was completely wasting her time, watching a gangster TV series, it was better to go to a bar and talk to a handsome guy.

Time passed little by little, at 7:59 p.m. ET

HBO TV is still showing trailers, and HBO is a TV show with no ads.

New York

A big white man with a burger in one hand and munched on it indistinctly but excitedly shouted into the kitchen: "Hey, dear, come here, "Atlantic Empire" is about to begin, yes, it was directed by the kid from "50 First Loves". ”

Washington

A black boy wearing a hat sits on a couch with his eyes fixed on a television screen with a sign that says it's an HBO set. On the black boy's hat was a bird, a bird known throughout the United States, yes, Hope with aviator glasses.

Los Angeles

A girl with blond curly hair is sitting on the sofa, talking on the phone with her boyfriend, and the other hand is constantly flipping the remote control, after seeing the ten-second countdown of the new TV series of HBO TV, the girl decisively hung up the phone, and there is only Mister on the TV screen. Sen's name, underneath the name, was a decreasing number, and the curly-haired girl let out a long sigh of relief and muttered to herself, "Whew, I was scared to death, I almost missed it just now." ”

When the ten-second countdown jumped to zero, the sound of Ziz came from the stereo.

Hathaway put down the popcorn in her hand, and watched the TV with her mouth half-open.

"Baby, take it easy, the TV won't explode."

Anissa obviously couldn't understand Hathaway's excitement, looking at her best friend's slightly daze with her mouth open, Anissa smiled evilly, took out a few popcorn from the paper tube, and secretly stuffed it into Hathaway's mouth. The sudden movement apparently startled Hathaway, who was preoccupied.

"Hell, you scared me!"

Hathaway swallowed the popcorn in her mouth with some dissatisfaction, and at this moment, the opening song of "Atlantic Empire" played on the stereo. When Hathaway heard this, she instantly turned her head and stopped pursuing Anissa's prank, and fell back into a state of concentration.

"Oh my God, are you enchanted at this time?"

Anissa shook her head, picked up her phone, and walked to the windowsill, where she was about to make a call to a few of her friends.

The phone was connected, and the sound of the TV came from the other side.

"Hi Alan, missed me?"

There was no answer from the other side, it was still the sound of the TV.

More than ten seconds later, Anissa shouted again, "Hey, Alan, are you over there?" ”

Still no one answered, and after a while, a hurried voice came from the other side: "Anissa, is there something wrong?" I'll hang up if it's okay. ”

"Alan, what are you doing?"

"Oh, watch TV, Thompson is cool, this is called a real man!"

Alan continued: "Anissa, I'll hang up if it's okay!"

As he spoke, he hurriedly pressed the hang up button.

"Doodoo"

Listening to the buzzing sound coming from the earpiece, Anissa didn't come back to her senses for a long time.

"Dare to hang up on me, bastard, we broke up!"

Loudly scolding at the phone, Anisa angrily flipped out another number and dialed it.

"Doodoo"

The first call was not answered, and when I dialed it again, the phone was turned off.

After several phone calls in a row, almost everyone hung up in a hurry without saying a word, and most of them said that they were watching a TV series and had no time to chat for the time being.

"Damn men, a bunch of bastards!"

Anissa walked back to the room from the windowsill in a huff, slammed the phone on the bed viciously, and looked at her best friend still looking at the TV stupidly, Anissa thought for a while, sat down next to Hathaway, and said unconvinced: "I want to see, what is so good about this broken "Atlantic Empire"!"

At this time, the plot of the first episode has been rolled out little by little, the story of "Atlantic Empire" takes place in Atlantic City in the 20s of the last century, in 1920, the end of World War I, and on January 17, the 18th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution - the Prohibition Act officially came into effect. As soon as Prohibition was enacted, it was illegal to sell any alcohol in the United States.

However, on the southern coast of New Jersey in the United States, lies the Atlantic City, known as the "playground of the world", a place that is not the same as the famous Broadway in the United States. Here, as long as you have money, then, you will enjoy the most leisurely life in the world.

"Nelson, did you say Thompson really had that much power at the time?"

Sitting on the sofa, Xiansen whispered to Nelson, the creator of "Atlantic Empire". Johnson, the TV in the room was also playing the TV series.

"yes, Enoch. Johnson is the most snobbish in Atlantic City, he is both black and white, he is both a gangster and a politician, and he dares to openly sell alcohol in Atlantic City and go against the US Constitution. ”

Nelson. Enoch in Johnson's mouth. Johnson is the one in the TV series played by Steve. Buscemi's Enoch. Thomson, it's a real person's image, and this person is the same as Nelson. Johnson is linked by blood.

From April 10th to May 10th, in a month's time, Xiansen filmed the first and second episodes of "Atlantic Empire", and this month's filming experience has a very wonderful feeling for Xiansen.

HBO TV scheduled the premiere of "Atlantic Empire" at 8 p.m. on May 18, with one episode every Saturday, which is definitely a very good time period for viewers.

"Baby, did you see that? Jimmy, oh, so handsome, I love him to death. ”

Anissa sees Jack on TV. Gyllenhaal, with a on her face, grabbed Hathaway's arm, seeing now, what she didn't expect was that this TV series was not a gangster movie in the traditional sense of fighting and killing, although she could see chaotic fights and noisy scolding, but every character exuded an elegant temperament and aristocratic feeling, even Steve, who she thought was ugly at first. Bucimi is now full of mature charm.

"Honey, please stop talking, don't interrupt my emotions."

Hathaway was a little speechless for her best friend, and she looked reluctant at first, but after watching it for a while, she couldn't wait to get into the TV screen, especially after seeing those gorgeous costumes or decorations, just like seeing gold and silver jewelry, Hathaway saw the action of swallowing saliva with her own eyes.

Jimmy. Damodi is Jack. The character played by Gyllen Hill, the handsome guy who has had a very good relationship with Xiansen since "Illusion of Death", made Xiansen a little amazed during this month's shooting, some people said that the handsome male star has no acting skills, this sentence was taken by Jack. Gyllenhill was completely upended.

Due to his sunny and healthy face, at first Xiansen was still worried that if Jack. Gyllen Hill can't play Jimmy. What should Damodi do after returning from the battlefields of World War I to see through the vicissitudes of life and death? For this reason, Xiansen also went to Leonardo and prepared to let Leo teach Jack.

Obviously, Xiansen's preparation was superfluous, Jack. Gyllenhill's acting skills made Leonardo can't help but applaud, and at the same time, Leonardo also said that he wants to work with Jack in the movie in the future. The cooperation between two idol-level acting schools sounds good.

The first episode of "Atlantic Empire" is slowly over, and the first episode does not have a lot of plots, mainly an introduction to the characters and forces of Atlantic City, but despite this, this splendid and prosperous [***] city of Elysium still attracts the interest of every viewer, especially the two important characters that are currently appearing.

"Damn, why not!"

Anissa scratched her hair like a madman when she saw the unfinished subtitles, and she was enjoying it when she suddenly broke off.

"Do you have to wait another week? Oh my God, my Jimmy, for a week, I can't take it anymore! ”

"Damn Mister, damn HBO, to hell with it!"

At that moment, Hathaway heard the roar of a big man coming from the house opposite, and then, as if the big man was not enjoying enough, he howled loudly: "God, let this week pass after I open my eyes!" (To be continued.) )
