Interview area.

Yi Feiyang and the others all looked at the old man Abraham who was being interviewed with a strange look.

The old man who mustered up the courage to come to the interview continued, "When I was young, I dreamed of being an actor and came to this beautiful Hollywood, although I didn't become an actor, but I met my beloved wife. She was a beautiful woman, she was blind when she was a child due to an illness, but in my mind, she was always the most beautiful! ”

"The two of us, a cripple and a blind man, depend on each other in this bustling city, have no money, no regular jobs, but we are happy. Her only regret is that she can't see me in the movies, even if I play tricks on many movies, she can't see it. So one day she said to me that if she could hear me recite a line in the play with her ears, she would be satisfied. ”

"But I've been on the set for 30 years, playing all kinds of small roles, playing passers-by, playing villains, and even playing the back...... Until she died of a painful illness and did not fulfill her last wish......" Abraham said, wiping a handful of cloudy tears.

"Today, I have the courage to come here in the hope that you will give me a chance to prove myself, that I can do it, that I can do it, that I have lines to read...... Read it to my dear wife......"

Looking at the old man in front of him who has been playing "soy sauce" on small movies, Yi Feiyang's heart couldn't help but sour.

Dreams will be corroded by the years, but the true feelings will become more mellow because of the years!

"You really only need one line?"

"Yes, sir. Just one sentence. ”

"What if I give you more?"

"This ...... Mr. You're not lying to me, are you? Abraham was a little hard to believe.

"Nope. In fact, we also have a very important role in this play, that is, the heroine's father, an old man who is disabled because of the war, and you are the most suitable! ”

"I, I don't know what to say, sir...... I'm so excited! Abraham's face, which had been numb by the oppression of life, rarely showed a smile.

"Alright. You go and prepare, there will be a lot of lines waiting for you to memorize during the shooting! ”

"Yes, I will definitely try! For you! For the sake of my wife! Abraham burst into tears and walked outside the interview area.

The crowd looked at him, and no one whistled or laughed at the old man with thinning hair and limping.

They consciously got out of the way and let this old man, who had insisted on being the "soy sauce emperor" for more than 30 years, but always persevered and had no regrets, quietly walked over.

A man. How many thirty years are there?!

How much sadness can a dream carry?!

"Boss. To be honest, do you really think this old man is suitable for such an important role? Bill Rabbit asked, a little unconfident.

"You guy, how did you become a wolf!" Yi Feiyang rolled his eyes and was furious. Everyone says that Hollywood is a big dye vat, and this kid hasn't been popular for a few days, so he can't learn to be black.

"Besides, I didn't do this just to do good, his personal image, devastated by life, disabled, corrupted by time, and full of love, is almost exactly the same as the father in the script. Of course, most importantly, he has a passion for acting! ”

Rabbit Bill disagreed with Yi Feiyang's condemnation, in his opinion, filming is not a good hall, anyone can be stuffed in.

……

Time passes slowly.

At the end of the day, the casting of "Saving the Female Soldier Rachel" has basically been completed.

The lineup is roughly as follows:

Producer: Henry the Elephant

Screenwriter: Yi Feiyang

Director: Yi Feiyang

Assistant Director: Rabbit Bill

Production company: TOP Movie Entertainment Company

Stormy – Played by: Heroine Rachel

Big Bird Lucci - Played by: Colonel Miller

Abraham - Played by: Rachel's father, George Sr

James Howard – Played by: German sniper Hoffman

Pete William – Played by: American Private Jackson

Jim Becge – Played by: American Private Leben

……

In addition, there are some actors who don't have a lot of roles, that is, extras, and these people are almost all summoned by black dads from the poor neighborhood where they live.

These people are not very demanding, no matter what movie you are shooting, as long as you can show your face in the play, you can take care of meals three times a day.

Yi Feiyang didn't expect to meet such a simple and simple American, he thought that such an extras were only available in the Celestial Empire in his previous life, but today he was met by himself.

Now the cast has basically been formed, and the crew members such as photographers and makeup artists have also been determined.

Henry, the elephant who was the "producer", approved the filming after review. But when Yi Feiyang approached Henry with the script and the list of crew members, he was told that he was not in the TOP company.

According to the place said by the company staff, Yi Feiyang drove to find it.

At this moment, the streets of Los Angeles are covered in snowflakes and snowflakes. From time to time, blizzard warnings are heard on the car radio. Several red snow plows are clearing a thick layer of snow along Los Angeles Boulevard. Pedestrians pulled over or struggled through the snow.

Not far away, Yi Feiyang's car broke down in the snow. Yi Feiyang had to get out of the car and make a phone call to the towing company...... Damn, the tow truck company's business was booming during this time, telling him to wait at least three or four hours.

Yi Feiyang didn't have so much time to wait for the trailer to come, so he closed the door, wrapped a thick scarf, stepped on the thick snow, and continued to move forward.

Along the way, due to the heavy snow, it is very difficult to walk, and from time to time a few thinly clothed and unkempt homeless people appear on the side of the road, holding tin cans and not speaking, just looking at you with straight eyes, looking numb.

Fortunately, Yi Feiyang has some change on him. Encounter one. Just stuff some change. The homeless men muttered something to get out of the way and continue to stop the next passerby.

Faced with this situation, Yi Feiyang couldn't cry or laugh, these homeless people know how to "rob while the snow is blowing". But such a big snowstorm, and such a cold winter, for them, trying to get some money. It is also a last resort to survive the harsh winter.

People always have to live.

It doesn't matter if you have lost hope in life.

Compared with the bridges and caves where these poor homeless people slept in the open air, or the alleys on the streets, the fenced villas on the side of the road are as warm as spring.

Parents are drinking hot coffee and snuggling up to watch TV shows, cats and dogs are hiding in the nest licking milk, and children are happily building snowmen in the small garden, everything seems so warm and harmonious.

This is America. The United States under the gap between rich and poor.

The epitome of winter reflects the truest side of a country.

……

Easy to fly according to the route. After walking for about thirty or forty minutes, I came to the aid station near St. Mary's Cathedral.

Founded in 1914, this aid station is the largest aid station in Los Angeles to date, with an area of about 5,000 square meters and a capacity of more than 1,000 rescue personnel.

When Yi Feiyang arrived here, he happened to see Henry, the elephant, who was doing "volunteering".

Still as large as a mountain, wearing a ridiculous elephant hat...... This should be a set of card channel clothes, and it is estimated that Henry will not be able to get into it, so he has to wear a hat.

Henry the elephant holds a spoon in his hand and distributes food to the homeless.

The food is simple, salads, milk, bread, and some soy products.

The long line lined up in front of him, and the elephant Henry was tired and sweaty, and when he saw Yi Feiyang coming over, he beckoned the person next to him to take a hand and get out of the position of "chef".

"Hi dear Yi, why are you here?" Henry took off his hat and said in a cold sweat.

"Why are you here?" Yi Feiyang asked rhetorically.

"Huh? Do you mean to work here? Oh yes, I'm a volunteer here! Hehe, as you said last time, if I am really idle, I will find some good deeds to do, and I will do what you say! ”

Yi Feiyang couldn't help but be stunned, he just said it so casually last time, but he didn't expect this guy to really ......

"How's it going, tired or not?"

"Of course I'm tired, damn it, I haven't been so active in a long time!" Henry's face was flushed, and he gasped, "But seeing that I can help so many people, I don't know what Lu Dao is about, and I feel comfortable in my heart...... Zhilu Dao, Yi, I don't have nightmares anymore these days, even if I dream of my wife and children, they don't complain about me anymore, before, they always scolded me in their dreams, I hurt them......" Henry the elephant's face was a little gloomy.

"In retrospect, maybe I really did a lot of things wrong, including asking you to help me shoot this film...... I was so selfish, I just thought about myself, thought about myself, never thought about others, helped others. God says that all human beings are created equal, but I didn't believe it before, but if it is really equal, why can some people live in high-rise buildings, while others have to sleep on the road? But now I understand the meaning of this sentence, people who live in high-rise buildings are not necessarily at peace in their hearts, and they have nightmares every night; People who sleep on the road can snore and sleep fragrantly. That's the answer God gave us......"

Yi Feiyang didn't expect that after only a few days of not seeing him, this elephant Henry "became a Buddha on the ground". If Anne Hathaway were to be called, the two might be able to have a heated discussion about God and Jesus.

"Yi, why are you looking at me like this?"

It turned out that involuntarily, Yi Feiyang's gaze staring at Henry the elephant was very strange.

"Oh, nothing, I just think, you've changed a lot lately."

"People change, especially people like me who don't live long and are about to die." Henry the Elephant murmured, "Well, when I die, I'd better go to hell and pay for my sins." As for my wife and daughter, I believe they will always wait for me in heaven until I am cleared in hell......"

"Don't be so pessimistic, you may have a few more years to live."

"What's the point of living that long for someone like me?"

"How can it be meaningless, you can help more people!"

Yi Feiyang's faint words made Henry the elephant slightly shocked, "Yes, if I live, I will be able to help more people." ”

Looking at those depressed people, there are old people, there are children, there are men, there are women, these homeless people, these people in need, Henry, the elephant who has long been disheartened and waiting for death, suddenly seems to have found his purpose in life, and his blood has become boiling.
