"How's it going, is your script selling?"

Stallone returned to his apartment at 18 Eucalyptus Street, and his wife, Sarah Zack, asked.

The two have just gotten married, and their relationship is like glue, and Sarah is also very supportive of Stallone's career.

"Not so lucky, he wasn't optimistic about my script." Stallone kept a little bit and didn't tell the specifics.

"Oh God." Sarah stepped forward and put her arms around Stallone and kissed him lightly on the forehead, "Don't be discouraged, dear. You're excellent, it's just that a lot of people don't know about it. Okay, wash your face, I cooked borscht, and steak, and you can have a good meal. ”

Sarah's craftsmanship is very good.

At least Sylvester Stallone had a good time.

Sarah, however, was not happy, because she received a utility bill notice during the meal, and shrugged at Stallone: "Damn, another hundred dollars, we owe too much." ”

"It's all right, Sarah! For a hundred dollars, I'll fix it. Stallone put down his knife and fork and comforted his wife.

"Yes, I believe you!" Sarah taped the bill to the refrigerator and turned to pick up her coat—

"What's the matter, honey, you're not eating?" Stallone was surprised.

"I went to a nearby library to work part-time, and they promised me $30 a week." Sarah got dressed, gave Stallone another flying kiss, and then left the house.

Stallone looked at the deserted home, as well as the borscht and steak in front of him, but he couldn't eat it anymore.

Maybe this is the last steak, Sarah said when she went to bed last night, these steaks are still bought at a low price from a nearby supermarket, and they are about to expire, and the other party will deal with them.

"In the future, I may not even be able to afford this expired steak." Stallone shoved a slice of steak into his mouth, full of depression.

"As a man, it was my duty to provide for my family, but now ......," Stallone put down his knife and fork and sighed, "I shouldn't let a woman feed me." Yes, I have to pull myself together. ”

Thinking of this, Stallone began to flip through the newspaper to see if there was a job advertisement on it.

In this era, people are overcrowded, many companies and factories are overcrowded, and more companies are not profitable, even if you recruit them, the salary will not be paid.

Stallone expertly weeded out poor, substandard recruitment ads.

He used to do the kind of unpromising advertisements such as walking the dog, weeding, and painting the dogs, and now he has eliminated them.

He needs a long-term meal ticket.

After changing seven or eight newspapers in one go, his eyes were drawn to a recruitment notice on the entertainment section of the Los Angeles Times.

The headline of the recruitment revelation is-——

How big the heart is, how big the stage is.

Specifics –

Fox Film Company has recently recruited a large number of directors, screenwriters, actors and other professionals.

Generous salary,

Full of opportunities and challenges.

Stallone stared at the advertisement, ready to move.

"No, damn it! I should be sober and stop having this abominable dream! I should find a stable job to support my family. Stallone inwardly advised himself.

"But how do you know I won't succeed if I don't try? Isn't it written above, how big the heart is, how big the stage is! Stallone's eyes lit up, "Perhaps, this is a good opportunity." ”

……

At three o'clock in the afternoon of the same day,

Fox Films door.

When Stallone came, there was already a long queue in front of him, both white and black, except for some thirty or forty years old, most of them were young people, and most of them were fashionable young people wearing jeans and jeans.

"Hey man, are you here to apply for the job too?" A black man popped up next to Stallone.

Stallone was stunned for a moment, and pointed at the black man sharply: "You, you, I know you, what is your name, that children's show, yes, you called ...... in that children's program"

"Read well sir!" The black man grinned with white teeth, "Meet, my name is Morgan Freeman, and I used to work in a television station, but now—" shrugged, "I'm ready to change to a new job just like you." ”

Morgan Freeman was born in Memphis, Tennessee. His father, Morgan Portfield Freeman, was a barber and died of cirrhosis of the liver in 1961; Her mother, Memi Edna, was a cleaner. Morgan Freeman is fourth and the oldest.

Freeman's first full-fledged theatrical performance in the Broadway revue "I Love the Matchmaker" in 1967 made him famous the following year with "Haro Dolly."

After making a name for himself on Broadway, Morgan Freeman moved to television, and in 1971 he began playing Mr. "Read Well" on children's shows on American public television.

Stallone shook hands with the other party, "It's a pleasure to meet you." My name is Stallone. ”

"I know."

"Uh, what?"

"I've seen the movie "Wild Boy" that you wrote and directed, which is very good." Freeman said, "At the very least, I think it's a good film, but unfortunately, the audience doesn't know how to appreciate it." ”

Sylvester Stallone didn't expect to meet his bosom friend here, and he was excited for a while, "Thank you for your compliment, it may be that I am not capable enough." But I'm curious, why did you apply here if you didn't work well in a TV station? ”

Freeman smiled: "I'm black, aren't I?" There is also racial discrimination on the TV station, I starred there for four years, but the salary has not risen, and the salary of those supporting roles has tripled. ”

Freeman said and looked at the Fox building, "I heard that the current owner of Fox is a Chinese, and under his leadership, the whole company has a new look, especially without discrimination, so I plan to come here to try it out and look for opportunities." ”

"Hopefully you'll succeed."

"The same goes for you."

The two shook hands again and encouraged each other.

……

The queue continues to grow.

Especially recently, Fox's new drama has been a big hit, and its reputation is booming in Hollywood, which has made countless young people with dreams flock to it.

"Wow, look at that big guy!"

"He's so strong!"

"Hey, I seem to know him."

"I know him, too, isn't he the bodybuilder?"

There was a commotion in the crowd.

Sylvester Stallone and Freeman couldn't help but look behind them, only to see a burly young man get out of the car, talk a few words to the occupants of the car, and then walk to the back of the line and start queuing.

Stallone said, "He's so strong. ”

Freeman: "yes, it's a good shape for film. ”

"I don't know what his name is?"

"His name is Schwarzenegger."

A white man in front of the two said: "I know him, I like to read bodybuilding magazines, this guy is a crazy man, at 71, 72, 73, 74, four years in a row Mr. Olympiad!" ”

"Wow, I recognize him when you say that!" Stallone was surprised, "It seems that he is Austrian, a new immigrant." ”

"Yes, he has made movies before, it seems to be called "Hercules in New York", and the film company wanted to praise him, but unfortunately, the response to this drama was mediocre. In general, he doesn't know how to act at all, he always has a strained face, and he doesn't even have micro-expressions. The white man in front of him criticized.

"As an actor, in addition to having outstanding appearance, you also need to have superb acting skills! Where does acting come from? Come from life! What role you want to play, you have to become that person, so that people have a sense of substitution, whether it is every word or deed, or the tone of speech must be consistent with the role! ”

When Stallone and Freeman heard this, they couldn't help but look up to the white man's mountain-

"Didn't ask for your name?"

"Well said, under Harrison Ford!" The white man said.

Harrison Ford was born in Chicago, Illinois in 1942. As a teenager, Ford had little interest in acting, didn't really like watching movies, and often liked to go alone.

After graduating from high school, he left Chicago to study at the University of Wisconsin, where he did not make progress in his studies and did not get satisfactory grades.

That's when he began to have the idea of becoming an actor. So in 1964, he came to Hollywood, Los Angeles, entered the local acting school, and was spotted by talent scouts because of his good looks

In 1966, Ford made his screen debut in "Cash Battle" in a small role with only one line. For many years after that, he played a number of dispensable roles, and even worked as a carpenter making props in his spare time, and earned a lot of money because of his good skills.

In 1973, last year, Ford and George Lucas collaborated for the first time in American Painting. The film received a good reputation after its release, but Ford still didn't attract attention, and he had to continue to work as a carpenter.

As a director, Lucas has been messing around in Hollywood and is relatively well-informed.

I heard that Fox is now undergoing internal reform and needs to recruit a large number of film and television talents, so Lucas brought a phone to Harrison Ford, who is a carpenter, and asked him to come and try it.

In fact, in addition to admiring Ford, Lux also has selfish intentions, wanting Ford to wade through the water first to see how deep the water is for Fox, a film company run by Chinese.

If it's really like they advertise in recruitment, they don't care about race, they don't care about rank, they don't care about everything, they just want you to have talent and can make a good movie, they will give you a big stage, and Lucas will join Fox as well.

It can be said that Ford's application this time came with a "historical mission".

……

At this moment, Stallone, Freeman and Ford were talking happily.

Schwarzenegger, who was at the back of the line, had a straight face, did not smile, looked at the long line, and scolded in his heart, when will the interview be finished?

Seriously, Schwarzenegger didn't want to come here and queue up for an interview at all.

To be precise, he was hit too hard by Hollywood showbiz.

Now he has not become an American citizen, and coupled with his thick Germanic accent, he is always ridiculed on the set.

Although Schwarzenegger likes filming, he doesn't like to be ridiculed.

He enjoys the feeling of standing on the bodybuilding stage and being sought after by thousands of people, so his biggest dream has always been to open a bodybuilding gym and teach people fitness, instead of playing tricks on the screen with a Germanic accent.

But today, he is not allowed to apply here, just to repay the favor.

Schwarzenegger's big benefactor is actually the great director Alan Arthur who brought him into the industry, who ruled out public opinion and chose him as the male pig's foot in "Hercules in New York", and announced to the public that Schwarzenegger will become popular sooner or later.

Schwarzenegger is grateful to Alain for his support, but he feels that he really doesn't have the talent to become popular.

He felt that Alain had mistaken himself.

Alan refused to admit it, and even took the initiative to sign him up and let him participate in this Fox recruitment interview.

Helplessly, in order to repay the favor, Schwarzenegger had to suppress his temper and come here, ranking last, and planned to do whatever he wanted.

……

As time went on, the interview line began to move slowly and faster.

"Uh, what's going on, this interview speed—"

Ford, Freeman, and Stallone were all a little surprised.

Someone in front of him: "Haven't you heard, I heard that the new boss of Fox came out and passed the interview in person." ”

"What, that Chinese?"

"Yes. I heard that he knows how to read faces, he only needs to look at you to know whether you are suitable for filming and whether you will become popular, so the interview speed is so fast. ”

"Oh my God, this is too evil!"

"yes, look at the face? Damn it! ”

The crowd began to talk about it.

Stallone and the three looked at each other.

"Really? Choosing talents based on face-to-face? ”

The three of them felt that this interview seemed unreliable for the first time.

……

Fox Films,

Interview Hall –

Du Yongxiao took out a tissue and wiped his nose.

Recently he had a cold and his nose was very uncomfortable.

This interview was planned by him on his own initiative, with the aim of getting rid of the big stars and directors in Hollywood in the future.

In order not to waste time, as long as he finds out that the other party is that kind of unknown person, he will pass it directly.

made those interviewers who did not pass the test unhappy, thinking that his method was too unfair.

Du Yongxiao doesn't care about this, now what he pursues is speed, and he has no time to play with these little shrimps.

Fox President Ryder saw that Du Yongxiao was working very hard, and he had to work hard with a cold, so he prepared a cup of coffee and prepared to serve it, but before he could do it, Yan Xiong had already brought a cup of coffee over.

Ryder looked at the coffee in his hand and had to drink it himself.

"Godfather, don't work too hard, you still have a cold! Come, warm up with some coffee, the black coffee I brewed just for you! Yan Xiong stammered and handed the coffee to Du Yongxiao.

Du Yongxiao said: "Thank you. ”

I took my coffee and took a sip.

Yan Xiong smiled: "Thank you, these are what I should do!" Godson serves his godfather, rightfully so! ”

Du Yongxiao couldn't help laughing: "Yan Xiong, I used to accept you as a godson just a joke, if you don't like it, you can change it in the future, there's no need-"

Without waiting for Du Yongxiao to finish speaking, Yan Xiong was anxious: "Godfather, what do you mean?" Do you dislike Ah Xiong? ”

"Huh?" Du Yongxiao didn't expect Yan Xiong to react so much. "I just think you're so old, if you don't feel well, you can -——"

"Comfortable! Where would I feel uncomfortable? Being able to worship you as a godfather is the greatest blessing in my life Yan Xiong! Yan Xiongyi said, "One day for the father, the life for the father!" As long as you don't dislike it, I will be your godson for the rest of my life and serve you! ”

Du Yongxiao was speechless, he didn't expect to be entangled by Yan Xiong.

Yan Xiong's heart is very loud, who is Du Yongxiao? Billionaires! Super Tycoon! And now the more mixed up it is, the more powerful it is, many people want to stammer, but they can't.

Not to mention anything else, as long as he Yan Xiong wears the title of Du Yongxiao's godson one day, those bigwigs and rich people, as well as high-level politicians, will look up to him.

"Well, okay!" Du Yongxiao was speechless, so he had to pick up the following information, "Let three come in this time!" The first is, hey, Harrison Ford, the second is Morgan Freeman, and the third is...... Ahem, Stallone?! ”
