"When do my auditions start?"

As soon as I started the car, Scarlett's voice sounded next to me, "I've been waiting for a long time." ”

"It's going to be a while." Duke spun the wheel and the car turned onto the main road, "Someone will notify your mom then." ”

"Oh......" The little girl nodded, took out a small purse from her school bag, and shook it in the corner of Duke's eyes, "I've got all the money ready." ”

"Money?" Duke glanced at the co-pilot suspiciously.

"I told you to have ice cream." Scarlett Johansson blinked her bright eyes and had a very innocent expression, "Have you forgotten?" I'm not like you, I like to cheat. ”

Knowing how difficult this little guy is, Duke simply ignored her and concentrated on driving.

"Hey, why don't you speak?"

But after two minutes of silence, Scarlett couldn't help but say, "Did it degenerate into an egg?" ”

"Eggs?" Duke bared his teeth.

"yes." The little girl explained very seriously, "When chickens are still eggs, they can't speak!" ”

"Miss Johnson!"

Duke resisted the urge to give her a shudder.

"Why don't you do it, let's guess the riddle."

This little guy really couldn't be at peace for a moment, and he didn't care if Duke agreed or not, he said directly, "Long ears, white body, red eyes, ......"

Regardless of the chatter next to him, Duke did not make any answer, but accelerated the speed of the car a little, and when he got home, he could throw this troublesome essence to his mother, otherwise his ears would be cocooned.

The Bentley car entered Santa Monica, and while the little girl took out the water bottle from her school bag to drink, Duke asked curiously, "Scarlett, don't you feel tired?" ”

"Tired? Why are you tired? Scarlett asked curiously.

"You've said so much," Duke pulled out a hand and pointed to his mouth, "aren't you tired here?" ”

"No," the little girl said with a very hurt expression, "Duke, do you think I'm noisy?" Annoying? ”

Although Duke wanted to nod his head in acknowledgement, he was just a child next to him, and he was still his mother's goddaughter, so he had to shake his head against his will.

"Don't lie to me." Scarlett pursed her lips, "The mouth is not right!" ”

Her bright eyes suddenly dimmed, "This year, I transferred from New York to Los Angeles, my mother is busy with work and has no time to take care of me, my father is always hard to see, my brothers don't like to play with little kids like me, I haven't had time to make new friends at school, I have to go to acting class after school, the acting class is full of older children than me, some are adults, and few people pay attention to me, and I usually have no friends to talk to." ”

Sighing softly, Duke turned his head to look at the girl who was not yet ten years old, these child actors, whether they were lucky or unlucky in childhood, and whether they regretted the choice made by their guardians for them in the future, I am afraid that even they themselves will not understand when they grow up.

This is a childhood road that looks extremely glamorous, but in fact it is very abnormal, the road is full of devilish temptations and countless dangers, and one wrong step often falls into the abyss, and there is no chance to turn over.

"Then I'll shut up."

Seeing that Duke had not spoken, Scarlett Johansson simply made a zipper gesture and wrinkled her nose to look out of the car window.

Smiling slightly, Duke still didn't speak, until the car drove into the garage of the house and helped her unbuckle her seatbelt, and then said, "It's here, get out of the car." ”

The little girl turned her head, picked up her school bag, pulled the car door, jumped out of the car, and without waiting for Duke, she skillfully walked through the passage and walked directly in the direction of the villa, as if she had come far more than once.

Following the little girl, Duke walked into the living room, and Scarlett quickened her pace, ran directly to the sofa, and shouted affectionately to Mrs. Leah, who was sitting on it, "Godmother." ”

"Well, here it is." Lady Leah took the bag and said to the servant on the other side, "Take Scarlett to freshen up." ”

"Mom's ......"

After saying hello to the couch, Duke went into another bathroom, and after a brief wash, walked out, "Ms. Sloan didn't come over?" ”

"She's back in New York." Lady Leah looked in the direction of the bathroom and said, "Scarlett will stay here for a few days, and then come home when her mother returns." ”

Then, his voice lowered slightly, "When Santa Fea first expanded its business in New York, Melanie helped me a little, and the East and West Coasts have always been at odds, and the same is true of the Jewish community, and she was one of the introducers I introduced to the Jewish social circle in New York. ”

It didn't take long for the maid to take Scarlett Johansson back to the living room, and Lady Leah stood up and said to Duke, "You take Scarlett upstairs to see the room, your former studio." I had dinner prepared. ”

The little girl seemed to have all her mischievous vanity, and she came up and grabbed Duke by the sleeve, and went upstairs with him, turning into the corridor on the second floor, where Duke opened the former makeshift studio, which had been changed in appearance, not only with a beautiful children's bed but also with a pink color for the girl.

"This is the bathroom...... Duke led her next to her, "this is the intercom, if there is anything urgent, you can call the maid directly; This is the balcony from which you can see the sea. ”

Scarlett Johansson just nodded, but didn't speak.

"Any comments?"

Standing on the balcony, after Duke finished asking, he saw that she just shook her head, and couldn't help frowning, "Why don't you speak?" ”

"You've allowed me to speak?" In her blue and green eyes, grievances were written again.

"When did I not allow you to speak?"

Duke couldn't help but sigh, this girl was simply too troublesome, and he would rather intrigue with those scheming adult actors than be a temporary nanny for coaxing children.

"When you're in the car." Scarlett pouted, "You think I'm noisy." ”

"I just don't have anyone to talk to...... she muttered, "and I just want to talk to a friend." ”

"It's almost time."

Without answering her words, he looked at his watch, Duke left the balcony directly, Scarlett followed from behind, and pulled his sleeve again, Duke turned his head, "Let's go to dinner." ”

"You're not angry?" When she went down the stairs, she asked a tentative question.

"When did I get angry?"

Despite the slight annoyance of her changing mind and face, Duke didn't bother with a child.

The dinner was sumptuous, obviously specially prepared, and although Duke could tell from his mother's words that he did not mean to return the favor by accepting this goddaughter, he had a good sense of Scarlett Johansson, and his words were more affectionate, far less harsh than when he was a child.

Of course, this is both the difference between a boy and a girl, and the difference between a son and a goddaughter.

This country, far from being like the place where he once lived, is both envious and demeaning for actors, it is a highly commercialized society, any normal career is a reasonable choice, Hollywood and its surrounding industries can generate hundreds of billions of dollars in output value every year, just like businessmen, such as two Toms and actors such as Stallone and Schwarzenegger, will also be regarded by the United States as a model of success and the American dream.

From time to time, Mrs. Leah would discuss some interesting things about acting school and Hollywood with Scarlett Johansson during the meal, and Duke had also observed that the little girl was unusually well-behaved and obviously very pleasing to her mother.

Smart and clever girls are always liked, and this is common all over the world.

"The teachers at the acting school said that I was very talented." Scarlett Johansson will also boast to herself, "If I meet the right role, maybe I can become a child star like Macaulay Culkin." ”

"I've seen your performance in 'Death Island.'" Mrs. Leah also gave timely encouragement, "The shot is short, but impressive. ”

"Thank you, godmother." The little girl smiled sweetly.

"Duke ......"

Hearing his mother's words, Duke looked up and looked over, and throughout the dinner time, he had barely spoken.

"Scarlett's school and acting school are in Burbank, and you've been moving back for the last few days." The mother obviously did not negotiate, "send her to school in the morning and leave class in the afternoon......"

"The acting school has a special person to pick it up at the school." Scarlett said at the right time.

"Hmm......" Mrs. Leah nodded, "you'll pick her up from the acting school in the afternoon." ”

"Mom, I don't have a fixed time after work." Duke felt a bit of a headache, "Sometimes it's late when I'm busy. ”

"...... like this"

"Godmother." Scarlett Johansson spoke again, "I can wait at school, it's okay." ”

Hearing the little girl's words, Mrs. Leah looked over, Duke hesitated slightly, and finally nodded, sighing helplessly in his heart, it seems that he shouldn't go home for dinner today, and as a result, he has to take on the job of a temporary nanny.

Fortunately, it's just a morning and a night for people to hitchhike, and it's not too time-consuming, otherwise it's troublesome.

Although Scarlett Johansson is only nine years old, she has a strong ability to take care of herself, eating, dressing or anything, no one needs to take care of her, and the next morning Duke came back from running on the Corniche and had breakfast, and just drove the car into the yard, she came out in time to jump on the co-pilot and buckle up her seat belt a few times.

"Morning, Duke." She said with a smile.

"Morning, Scarlett!"

Nodding, Duke drove out of the house and onto Burbank, sending Scarlett Johansen to her elementary school before heading to Warner Studios.

As soon as he entered the Independence Day studio, Duke got the good news that with the efforts of himself, Warner Bros. and Twentieth Century Fox, the Pentagon finally made a concession, no longer forcing changes to the end of the script and the content about Area 51, and would send aviation experts to guide the filming of the air battle scene, and could lend Edward Air Force Base and White Sands Missile Range as part of the film's backlot.

If necessary, the Pentagon will also send a fleet of warplanes to directly participate in the shooting.

Obviously, the Ministry of Defense decided to invest a certain amount of force in this film, and cooperated with Duke, the director, to produce a large-scale recruitment advertising movie!
