Chapter 212: Come on: Brad Pitt

The atmosphere in the café was heavy. Yang Lin looked at Du Qingshan and Li Kaijun who were sitting at the other table, fortunately these two guys didn't speak English, otherwise Yang Lin was sure that George Clooney had now turned into a pig's head. Yang Lin was very angry, he had never encountered such a thing as racial discrimination in his previous life, but he knew that it was not a problem of one person, even if he beat George Clooney, it would not help. As for complaining about George Clooney, it is even more useless, and the guy's two sentences are far from being evidence.

This country that flaunts ** is full of garbage.

Kidd was extremely embarrassed, he ran before and after, and actually did bad things with good intentions, who would have thought that this George Clooney was actually a racist? He laughed dryly, looked at Yang Lin with a calm face and said embarrassedly, "I'm sorry, Yang, I didn't expect this to be the case." ”

Of course, Yang Lin knew that this matter had nothing to do with Kidd, and he had to appreciate it if someone helped him: "Don't say that about Kidd, I know that you are a very good friend, don't take it to heart." But I will remember that guy, and in the future I will tell him how wrong his decision was. "Giving up this opportunity will definitely be the most regrettable decision in your life! Yang Lin gritted his teeth and secretly vowed to do his best to shoot this drama. What happened to the Chinese? Let's just open your eyes and watch the Chinese enter Hollywood!

Tom Cruise came alone, without an agent. Compared with George Clooney's arrogance and rudeness, Tom Cruise is much more elegant, and he is only slightly surprised by Yang Lin, a young producer and director, and does not show too much rudeness.

Not being rude does not mean that Tom Cruise is very hopeful of taking on this play, and it can be seen from the fact that he did not come with his agent that Tom Cruise has no intention of making an attitude today. Of course, Yang Lin didn't have the luxury of wanting his king's eight qi to leak, so he asked Tom Cruise to bow down and be willing to drive. He took out the script of "The Ghost is Not Over" and put it in front of Tom Cruise, and said with a smile: "You can take a look at the script first, think about it carefully, and I can also reply to it." ”

Tom Cruise nodded with a smile, asked for a cup of coffee, and quietly read the script. He was reading the script, and Yang Lin looked at him again.

Tom Cruise suffered a lot when he was a child, his father was an electrical engineer in New York, his mother was a teacher, and his family life was full of hardships, which made Cruise develop a hard-working spirit and an optimistic attitude towards life. Strangely, his early wish was to become a pastor and study at San Francisco Theological Seminary. His exposure to film and television was a very fortuitous opportunity, he participated in the performance of the school's musical, and since then he has been fascinated by drama and performance, and joined the local theater. Later, he used the money he was going to travel to Europe to New York to seek a career in the entertainment industry.

In 1981, in order to fight for a small role in a sitcom, Cruise made the long journey to Los Angeles on the West Coast. Cruise's 1983 film "Dangerous Deal" resonated with his contemporaries as a rich boy in the midst of youthful confusion. In the same year, he persuaded the great director Francis. Coppola, who played the strong man Steve in "The Outsider", Matt. Dillon, Rob. Lowe, Patrick. A number of new stars such as Swayz are all featured in the film. Since then, they have earned the title of "milky pie". The youth film "Top Gun", which depicts a fighter pilot in the US Navy, greatly cemented Cruise's stardom. Handsome pilots, speeding motorcycles, fierce air battles, beautiful girls, and beautiful music. I don't know how many boys and girls have been fascinated by this modern heroic myth.

"Spy on the Young" made Cruise the second after Harrison. After Ford, another top action hero, finally stood among Hollywood's top actors.

The reason why Tom Cruise was found to play the role of Sam is because Tom Cruise has always been very demanding of himself. "Top Gun" is popular in North America, but the "cool" Tom. Cruise was not deterred by this, knowing full well that the film, which choreographed fighter jet flight to pop melodies, was nothing more than a recruitment advertisement for the U.S. Navy, and that it was far from what he was looking for. Since then, he has tried many movies with different themes, trying to get rid of the reputation of ** idol.

Tom Cruise watched it very engagedly, but when he looked at it, the pair of thick sword eyebrows furrowed, and his expression was very strange, and he couldn't tell whether he was happy or opposed.

Yang Lin and Kidd glanced at each other, and their mood couldn't help but become nervous.

Sure enough, Tom Cruise read most of the script, put the script together and put it on the table, looked at Yang Lin and said: "Yang, to be honest, this script is simply perfect, this will be a tear-jerking perfect love story, and it will definitely be a very successful movie." "Tom Cruise is very sincere, he has a lot of talent as a director, and of course he can see whether the script is good or bad." But I also have concerns, you know, playing a ghost like that, it's going to be ridiculous and generous, and that's not good for my image. ”

Looking at Tom Cruise's shattered face, Yang Lin's heart gradually sank, and he couldn't hide his disappointment and said: "You are my favorite actor, the role of Sam is almost set for you, you will definitely perfectly interpret the essence of this role, it will become an eternal legend, and I believe it will also be a brilliant node in your acting career." Shouldn't you think about it again? Faced with such an excellent script, any hasty decision would be unwise. ”

Tom Cruise was slightly stunned, then laughed and said, "No, no, no, you misunderstood, I haven't made a decision yet." You're right, I have concerns, but I have to think about it, you know, this script is so great that it makes me feel like I'm crying right now, it's perfect, I'm going to think about it. ”

I'm picking! Just talk well, can you not gasp for breath? made the buddies think that the two actors who were optimistic about them flew away. Kidd smiled: "Yesterday Yang told me that he is very optimistic about your acting skills and is looking forward to the "Top Gun" you just filmed, so I really hope you can take over this drama." The two dramas go hand in hand, which is equivalent to getting double insurance, and I can't figure out whether the Golden Globe or the Oscar accidentally took one, haha. ”

Tom Cruise, of course, knew it was a joke, where was the Golden Ball and the Golden Man so easy to take? He shook his head with a smile, looked at Yang Lin and exclaimed: "Yang, you have given me a new understanding of Hong Kong movies." I love Hong Kong movies, but to be honest, I just like the funny kung fu scenes, and I don't really like the acting skills of the actors and the plot of the story. But this "Ghost Love" shocked me very much, the best screenwriters in Hollywood may not be able to write such a good script, you are too good! ”

Tom Cruise made it clear that he would consider the role of Sam well, which made Yang Lin feel good, and there was always hope, right? half-jokingly said: "Hollywood is the best film mecca on the planet, and it is the land that every filmmaker dreams of conquering." This play was my first work in Hollywood, and I firmly believe that it will open the door to this mystery in Hollywood for me. Tom, actually, I also have a good story, which is an action movie about a spy, if you want, I will bring it to the big screen in the future, and we will work together, you know, the director in Hong Kong may be a little bit worse than a romance film, but the action movie is definitely powerful. "You have to draw a big pie for this handsome guy first, and hang his appetite.

Tom Cruise was really interested: "A story about spies? Can you tell us about it? ”

Yang Lin smiled mysteriously: "No, no, spoilers are very boring." ”

Tom Cruise and Kidd both laughed.

**********

The afterglow of the falling day shone on the Avenue of Stars, blocked by various buildings, a piece of golden, a piece of gray.

Yang Lin and Du Qingshan and Li Kaijun sat on the bench by the Avenue of Stars, Yang Lin was in the middle, and the three of them lined up, enjoying the afterglow of the sunset in the tranquility.

"I've never had a chance to ask you, are you used to living now?" Yang Lin asked Du Qingshan and Li Kaijun. He may have the best talent in his bones, and he will never divide the crowd into several classes, although he can't do pure discrimination, but there is no difference between high and low people around him. I have always been very busy, and after Shi Nansheng came, I was able to get out with peace of mind and devote myself to my favorite director. I usually don't have much opportunity to talk to these two hum generals and care about life.

Du Qingshan is a wooden surname, but he just said "It's good", simple and affirmative, and neat.

Li Kaijun is much more lively: "I never dreamed that I would live such a life, in and out of luxury cars, high-end hotels, although just a bodyguard, but boss, you never regarded us as a bodyguard, I am very moved, thank you boss." ”

For a man whose life has become even more difficult after recovering from a grueling army, such a life is simply heaven. is always content, and now Du Qingshan and Li Kaijun are very content.

"People live for a lifetime, with ups and downs, who knows who will be tomorrow? There is no need to look high and belittle that, everyone gets along with each other to respect each other and understand each other. I have to make it clear, I'm the boss, you're an employee, what's the point? ”

Du Qingshan nodded silently, and Li Kaijun echoed: "Yes, yes, the boss just has a level, this truth is good." ”

This guy is a sycophant! Yang Lin looked at Li Kaijun funny, and Li Kaijun smiled.

"It's not a short time in Hong Kong, do you have a favorite girl?" These two are both highly skilled young people, and it is inevitable that they will experience excess, and when they are both young, Yang Lin is very curious about their personal lives. Although the two of them follow Yang Lin most of the time, as long as they are in Hong Kong, basically Yang Lin will leave one person by his side and give the other a holiday. "Tell me, Junzi, Du Qingshan's guy is a piece of wood."

"Hehe, boss, you don't know yet, right? Dogs that bite people in this world do not bark. Li Kaijun frowned.

Du Qingshan's face was very unnatural, and he actually blushed a little?

Yang Lin almost dropped his jaw in shock, and looked at Du Qingshan who was twisting and pinching with wide eyes: "Won't it?" "This iceberg will fall in love? Brother Yang's gossip fire burned instantly: "Who is it?" Have I seen it? It can't be an actor, right? ”

Li Kaijun said with a smile: "It's a nurse, in fashionable words, it's called a uniform**Ah, oops" Du Qingshan, who was annoyed and angry, kicked Li Kaijun's leg, blushing and said angrily: "If you don't say a word, you will die?" ”

"Nurse?" Yang Lin blinked, touched his chin, and felt that something was wrong, according to Du Qingshan's surname, it was difficult to communicate with girls, how could he have the opportunity to meet a nurse?

Du Qingshan scratched his head rarely, with a shy face: "It's the time you beat Tang Zhenye and Xiao Sheng, the little nurse who didn't let you smoke." ”

Yang Lin was so shocked that he could put a fist in his mouth: "Isn't it?" You're amazing, aren't you? Yang Lin couldn't remember what he looked like, but he had a vague impression of the pungent little nurse, who seemed to be quite delicate and beautiful.

Du Qingshan blushed: "Didn't you ask me to send flowers to Miss Weng a few times, I became familiar with it after coming and going." ”

Yang Lin was very happy, he had always been worried about Du Qingshan's surname, it turned out that he was just worried about himself. patted Du Qingshan on the shoulder and said, "That little girl is good, and the profession of nurse is also quite good." You guy has a bad temper, and his surname is cold, you have to pay attention, girls follow us, it doesn't matter if you have money or not, the important thing is to treat others well and don't lose your temper. Look at me, I have a few women, you brothers both know, every buddy is gentle and considerate, didn't you say it? Yang Lin boasted proudly, but saw that the two guys looked very strange.

"What do you two mean by that?" Yang Lin was puzzled.

Li Kaijun glanced at Yang Lin, and pretended to be bold and said: "You are very good to others, but that Miss Guan is different, drive them out of the car and throw them on the side of the road."

Yang Lin's face was dark, and the green tendons in his temples jumped and jumped. Are you embarrassed to say? As a bodyguard, the boss didn't know that he was pushed back, and he still helped the murderer speak? This incident is simply a shame for Yang Lin, and what is even more shameful is that he was delirious when he was pushed backwards, and he didn't feel the slightest feeling. Annoyed and angry, he kicked Li Kaijun's **.

Li Kaijun sat beside Yang Lin, and when he saw Yang Lin's unkind expression, he secretly was careful, but he didn't expect that this kick was not only fast, but also full of strength, "Bang|Kick on the **, kicked Li Kaijun to a stumble, and coincidentally crashed into a passerby who walked by."

The man screamed "oops", and Li Kaijun and the two turned into rolling gourds.

Du Qingshan hurriedly went over to help the two up, and Yang Lin saw that the passerby was the waiter who parked in front of the hotel.

Yang Lin apologized with a smile: "I'm sorry, a few of us bumped into you, didn't you get hurt?" ”

The blonde young man smiled, his handsome face was very handsome, and his light blue eyes had a melancholy temperament: "It's okay, I'm strong." ”

Yang Lin felt more and more familiar to this blonde young man, so he stretched out his hand: "Hello, my name is Yang Lin, a director from Hong Kong. What is your name? ”

The blonde young man was obviously stunned, I don't know if it was because of Yang Lin's hand stretched out to his little waiter, or because he heard Yang Lin's identity as a director at first glance, and said in a daze, "Hello, my name is Brad Pitt." ”

Yang Lin almost knocked his head with his fist. What kind of head is this? I can't remember it when it looks familiar, isn't it Brad Pitt? It's just that the one in front of him is a young man with blond hair fluttering, and the one with his memory is a charming middle-aged uncle.

"Come on, come and sit, let's talk." Yang Lin couldn't help but pull Brad Pitt to sit on the bench, happy to find a treasure in his heart.

Although Brad Pitt didn't know why Yang Lin was so enthusiastic about himself, he knew that the other party was a director, so he sat down curiously, he didn't know what a Hong Kong movie was doing in Hollywood. Making a movie? I haven't heard of Hong Kong directors making movies here, but I have seen Hong Kong kung fu movies.

Du Qingshan and Li Kaijun glanced at each other, not knowing why Yang Lin was so enthusiastic about a waiter.

Yang Lin had an idea in his heart, Brad Pitt was very curious about Yang Lin, and the two chatted. Soon, Yang Lin also had a simple understanding of Brad Pitt's current situation.

Brad Pitt grew up in Missouri and used to sing in choirs as a child. After graduating from high school, he entered the University of Missouri, majoring in advertising art design. With just two weeks to graduate (unsure of what age he will go to college), he packs all his belongings, packs his broken car, and heads to Hollywood in search of his dream of becoming a movie star. He lied to his parents that he was going to attend the Art Center School of Design in Pasadena, and he didn't tell them that he was actually going to Hollywood to work as a waiter, drive a stretch car, or even play a cartoon character in order to wait for a chance to become famous. He attended several acting classes and was fortunate enough to be a student of the famous Lowy London, taking acting courses for a year. However, his dream of being an actor did not go well, and he thought that his acting skills were very good, but he didn't get many opportunities, so he could only make a living as a waiter in a hotel while running tricks.

In 1991, Pitt was promoted by the great director Ridley. Scott's female-themed film "Thelmaandlouis" (Thelmaandlouis) played the role of a hitchhiker**, masculine youth (and also a robber), appeared for less than 15 minutes, but fully showed his ** face and solid abdominal muscles, "instant hit", which attracted the attention of Hollywood and female audiences, and he also changed from a penniless handyman to a hot ** idol in Hollywood. It is also this Academy Award for Best Picture that will be awarded to Brad . Pitt pushes the door to Hollywood and gives him a chance to succeed. Since then, he has been unstoppably creating brilliance in the Hollywood film industry.

Later, Pitt starred in "InterviewwiththeVampire" and "Legend Soft Hefall", and quickly became one of Hollywood's hottest stars. In "Interview with the Vampire", Pete's performance is similar to that of the No. 1 protagonist, such as Tom Murphy. Compared with Cruise, it is not inferior, almost replacing Cruise's "love saint" status, leaving a deep impression on the audience. Film critics praised his performance, commenting that he had "a super charisma to attract audiences". After the film's performance, Brad. Pete's cold and handsome beauty has made many female fans crazy, and thus has the title of "the most ** actor" in Hollywood.

Yang Lin patted Brad Pitt's shoulder with appreciation: "Good brother, for the sake of his dreams, he should go forward like this, and he will not give up until he achieves his goal." I'm working on a movie right now, and the lead actor has been tentatively decided to star Tom Cruise. How is it, are you interested in playing the second male lead? ”

The young and handsome Xiaobu classmate was completely stunned, he couldn't believe his ears, and asked Ai Ai: "Looking for me to play the second male lead?" I, can I? "It's not that he doesn't have confidence in himself, but he thinks that the world is too crazy, is there really such a thing as pie in the sky?

Yang Lin nodded affirmatively, staring at Brad Pitt with dark eyes, full of encouragement: "Okay, why not?" You can't do anything if you're not born, the opportunity is reserved for those who are prepared, but it is even more important for those who have the strength to win people, I am optimistic about you! ”

Brad Pitt was moved to tears and nodded fiercely: "I'll do it!" You can act whatever you say, I listen to you! "He doesn't care about Hong Kong directors and American directors, Tom Cruise is very famous. Besides, I am a part-time waiter who has learned to act, so what is there to be picky about someone who likes to reuse himself?

Yang Lin laughed, his heart was very happy, he actually had such good luck? He patted Brad Pitt on the shoulder: "Good job, you're the best, come on, Brad Pitt!" ”

Brad Pitt was infected by Yang Lin's emotions, and also said excitedly: "Come on, Brad Pitt!" You'll always be the best! (To be continued.) )
