"Sit down, tea or coffee?" Tobin motioned for Zhou Shaoming to sit on the sofa and asked.

"Oh, I'm sorry, let's have a cup of coffee, I wrote this script last night, and I want you to play the most important role in this movie." Zhou Shaoming sat on the sofa and took out the storyboard script.

"Okay, don't worry, I have a lot of time, I just finished filming "The Evil Neighbor on the Fourth Floor", I don't have a scene to shoot for the time being" Tobin poured a cup of coffee and handed it to Zhou Shaoming, poured himself a cup of tea, and took a sip slowly.

"That's great, ah, I mean you can be my leading actor, not that you are too good at filming." Zhou Shaoming touched his head in embarrassment, and he said the wrong thing again.

"Haha, young people don't have to blame themselves, you didn't say anything wrong. Hey, it's good to be young! Tobin laughed and looked at Zhou Shaoming with encouraging eyes, which made him feel a little better.

After all, there have been too many blows and failures, which makes Zhou Shaoming inevitably cast a psychological shadow.

"Please, please take a look at my script!" Zhou Shaoming took a big sip of coffee and handed the script to Tobin.

Tobin took the script, but didn't look at it, but looked at Zhou Shaoming seriously and asked: "The role of the leading actor is handed over to a 57-year-old man?" Aren't you writing a love story? Or a thrilling shootout? ”

"No, it's not those, the story comes from some nightmares I had when I was a child, if I suddenly woke up and found myself soaked in the bathtub water, and I couldn't see my fingers, and soon found out that there was another person in the bathroom, and when the other party found the power switch and turned on the light, I learned that we were both locked in the secret room, and the other party claimed that his name was Gordon, a doctor, and we both had thick chains tied to our feet, and in a large pool of blood on the floor of the secret room lay a male corpse who could not bear the poison in his body and had swallowed a gun to commit suicide, I found a broken saw, but I can't cut the chain, what should I do? Should you cut off your legs with a saw so you can escape? Zhou Shaoming knew that this was not the time to retreat, so he straightened his chest and spoke eloquently.

"Oh, who locked you here? How did he come up with such a frightening thing to deal with you? What does he want to do? And what will you do? Sawing off your own leg with your own hands? My God, is this how we can escape? Tobin, who was easy to get into the play, had a shocked expression on his face, and couldn't help leaning forward slightly, as if he wanted to see the answer on Zhou Shaoming's face.

A husky dog suddenly ran over, curiously looked at Zhou Shaoming, who occupied its place, and then jumped on the sofa and crawled beside Zhou Shaoming obediently.

"Don't be afraid, it's called Thor, and I love small animals." Tobin said with a smile, and Zhou Shaoming found out that Tobin had a lot of pets at home.

On the sofa behind him, there was a fat cat, lazily coiled in a ball, and fell asleep.

"I know that animals are cute, and I love cats and dogs." Zhou Shaoming touched Husky Sol's head and said with a smile.

And the husky sol was very comfortable to be touched by Zhou Shaoming, and closed his eyes and enjoyed it.

"So, what kind of wishes do you want to express in this movie?" Tobin is certainly not the average viewer, and a horror story can be plunged into, and he is more keenly aware of something deeper.

"Please read the script, Mr. Tobin, everything you want is in it, I hope that the moviegoers can experience the beauty of life and the meaning of existence in the blood and screams."

"Oh? Experiencing the beauty of life in the blood? Why do I get more confused the more I listen? Can a horror film become a science and education propaganda film? It's a really interesting thing. Tobin laughed out loud and began to flip through the storyboard in his hand.

Looking at it, frowning from time to time, Tobin seemed to be a teacher who was grading papers, and Zhou Shaoming felt that he was the student who was cramming for a moment, waiting for the teacher to give a comment in fear.

The mood is getting more and more nervous, and the feeling of gain and loss is getting stronger and stronger, Zhou Shaoming is like a drowning person who has sunk into a vast ocean, holding his breath, waiting for the moment of death when he is rescued ashore or completely sunk to the bottom of the sea.

As the minutes ticked by, Tobin watched each paragraph carefully, going over each paragraph, even closing his eyes, leaning his head on the couch, rubbing his temples from time to time, as if he were recreating everything in the storyboard in his own mind.

And Zhou Shaoming kept touching Sol, and his strength became heavier and heavier, and Sol, who couldn't stand it, ran aside angrily, no longer paying attention to the person who was about to touch his hair.

Finally, Tobin raised his head, stared at Zhou Shaoming's face carefully, and said with a serious expression: "Too young, you are really too young." You're wasting your life! ”

Zhou Shaoming's heart seemed to fall from the peak to the abyss in an instant, and the sense of loss and defeat at that moment was like a tsunami rushing wildly, engulfing itself, and there was no life.

"Mr. Tobin, can you, please look at the script again, read it again!" Zhou Shaoming seemed to be a person who was about to drown, desperately grasping the last straw, and there was some pleading in his tone, he didn't know who else he could go to if Tobin didn't plan to take this movie.

"No, there's no need to look at it anymore." Tobin gently put the script aside, didn't look at it again, just picked up the tea and took a sip slowly, staring at Zhou Shaoming with knife-like eyes, although there was no mockery in his eyes, but there was a little pity and pity in that gaze, and even a little bloodthirsty and cruel. Zhou Shaoming's heart was fluttering and there was no place to stay, he knew that he had failed, and he had completely failed.

I can't help but feel some self-deprecation in my heart, I, a third-rate college graduate who has traveled through time, is so ambitious that I want to be a director in Hollywood, and I can complete a $50 million box office movie? Arabian Nights!

The heart that has long been in ruins is just holding on because of hope, Zhou Shaoming shook his head with a wry smile.

His eyes were a little moist, and Zhou Shaoming inhaled with difficulty, trying his best to control himself, and control his disappointment, like a knife cutting his edge.

Looking at the storyboard script next to Tobin, looking at the words he wrote down one by one, and looking at the dozen pages of works full of his own painstaking efforts, Zhou Shaoming suddenly raised his head.

The resolute eyes were as bright as the stars.

No, no! I don't accept failure, and I'm not afraid of failure! Zhou Shaoming clenched his fists, and the courage that swept through his body made him roar in his heart!

Heaven has given me such a perfect opportunity! With a classic movie like Saw Horror, an impeccable storyboard, lines, and even a soundtrack and what materials are ready, how many people in the world can have such an opportunity?

At least, at least Christina she will support me! I will never fail!

If Tobin doesn't agree to act, I'll go find someone else, even if it's a hundred, a thousand! I'm going to get this done, and I'm going to be worthy of what I say!

Zhou Shaoming stood up, took a deep breath, bowed politely, and said indifferently: "I believe that my movie will be loved by the audience." But thank you for your hospitality, Mr. Tobin, and I'll go first. ”

Tobin was noncommittal, just looked at Zhou Shaoming with indescribably deep eyes, and suddenly said, "Hello, Mr. Smith Zhou, I want to play a game with you!" Most people live without knowing how to be grateful. Don't take life for granted, life or death is in your hands! ”

This, these are not those lines in the script?

Zhou Shaoming turned around in surprise and looked at the smiling Tobin in disbelief, his lips trembled with surprise, only Tobin's voice echoed in his ears: "Hey, Smith Zhou, when I see those people in the middle of the game, should I use the look I did just now?" ”

"Cool, cool!" Zhou Shaoming, who suddenly came to his senses, said incoherently and excitedly: "Mr. Tobin, so you agree to play the role of Jiansaw?" ”

"I also want to ask Director Smith Chow, did I pass the audition just now? Sorry for the misunderstanding! Tobin shrugged and laughed.

"Oh, thank God!" Zhou Shaoming alternated between joy and sorrow, and his heart was extremely excited, and the excitement that rushed up made him almost jump up happily.

Walking out of Tobin's house, Zhou Shaoming couldn't help jumping and jumping, Tobin not only agreed to play the important role of Jiansaw for free, but also was very optimistic about the profit of Chainsaw, and generously agreed to invest $100,000 to participate in the filming, of course, everyone can't make unnecessary investment, and Tobin also enjoys the right to share the box office.

And Tobin also promised that he would use his connections in the film industry to help Zhou Shaoming find advertisers to place advertisements as soon as possible and make up for the cost of filming.

It was already dusk, Zhou Shaoming got off the bus, walked briskly back to his home, the crowded Hollywood Plaza, there will always be some wandering singers with guitars singing to their heart's content, beautiful and incomparably beautiful melodies penetrate the soul in the noisy world, like a bay of clear spring flowing through the soul.

Zhou Shaoming stopped slightly, threw down a few coins, and walked towards the way home amid the nodding and smiling of the wandering singer.

Everything will be beautiful!
