The peak acting skills of the actor

Chapter 258 Dinner
"Okay, Miss Jennifer, we are very satisfied with your performance, and we will inform you as soon as we have news."

Jonathan said the same routine as before, and Jennifer was already familiar with it. This is the most common way of answering in the Hollywood interview process.

Only after it is confirmed, Jennifer's agent will be notified. If the actor decides to participate, the agent will discuss with the crew, and after negotiation, sign the relevant agreement.

After the interviews with several other invited actors were completed, the staff in the house got off work on time.

This is the end of today's interview session, and Thomas invited Jonathan to enjoy delicious food at the hotel where he was temporarily staying.

In a family-style hotel room, Thomas is cooking the ingredients he bought.

Skillful cooking skills, carefully prepared ingredients one by one, delicious meals, mostly animal offal, pork liver, goose intestines, beef lungs, and sheep hearts.

With skillful knife skills, marinated in sauce, baked, steamed, stir-fried, placed on a plate, carefully conceived, made a series of exquisite shapes, sprinkled with sauce to outline, and served on the table by Thomas .

Opening the red wine, Thomas filled it up for Jonathan himself. The two sat at the dining table. Thomas raised his glass and said, "Sorry, if you are a vegetarian, I'm afraid the dinner I carefully prepared may not suit your appetite."

"Fortunately, I have been a meat eater since I was a child." Jonathan picked up the knife and fork, cut the liver in front of him, put the fork in his mouth, and began to chew slowly.

The tip of the tongue slid, the sweet and sour sauce, combined with the taste of lemon, stimulated Jonathan's taste buds, and Jonathan nodded involuntarily.

He couldn't help admiring in his heart, the superb cooking skills in front of him, picked up the red wine on the side, took a few sips, and then praised: "Your cooking skills are really better than Michelin professional chefs."

"That's why I always like to cook food for others to taste. Watching others enjoy it will also make me feel very fulfilled."

Looking at the table of delicious food in front of him, Jonathan said while eating: "Looking at you, you seem to be very interested in animal offal."

Thomas said: "Yes, the American public generally does not like animal offal, this is because the vast majority of Americans do not know how to appreciate real food, they only have burgers and Coke in their eyes.

Even the so-called steak is just the food of coal workers, and the cooking process is rough without any nostalgia.

It's just that this kind of fast food of European coal workers has been carried forward in the United States, and finally boarded the elegant hall, and people are rushing to follow suit.

Looking at those people who regard steak as a high-end food, each of them claims to be a food expert, and pretends to taste the so-called food. In my opinion, they don't know how to eat it. "

"According to what you say, what ingredients are really high-end?"

"Animal offal, any country that really has its own gourmet culture, actually knows that the most delicious food is offal."

"Oh? How do you say, in the eyes of us Americans, internal organs are dirty."

"That's because the so-called food culture here in the United States is actually fast food culture. A country with a real food culture will never underestimate animal offal. For example, the most famous French food in the West, you will see, goose Liver pate, beef intestines, liver, sheep brain and a series of meals.

Dongfang Huaguo, needless to say, the cooking of offal has been brought to the extreme. "

Jonathan listened and tasted the delicacies cooked by Thomas himself, kept nodding, then smiled and said to Thomas who was sitting opposite him: "You invited me to taste the delicacies today, which reminds me of someone. "

"Who?"

"Hannibal!"

"Then what do you think?"

"If I remember correctly, Hannibal used to entertain guests at home, with a group of high-class people, and savor most of the exquisite dishes made of offal.

However, his ingredients are not taken from ordinary animals, but from people. In other words, when you created this character, did you ever have the desire to eat people and taste it? "

Thomas looked at Jonathan upon hearing this. There seemed to be a hint of ambiguity in his eyes on his originally simple and honest round face. Then he picked up the wine glass, took a few sips and said: "When a novelist is writing, it is inevitable that he will casts its shadow onto the character.

Some of the characteristics of Hannibal's life are indeed somewhat similar to mine. "

"Then, do you have the desire to eat people?"

"It is undeniable that during the creative process, I did have the idea of ​​tasting human flesh, but I am not crazy, and I can distinguish between reality and fiction."

Jonathan nodded noncommittally, and then asked, "Okay, tell me, Cheng Feng's performance today, did he meet your requirements for the role of Hannibal?"

Thomas shook his head and remained silent for a few seconds. Jonathan was a little surprised, and then asked, "Why, are you still not satisfied with his acting state?"

"No! His interpretation completely overturned my assumption that Hannibal is an elegant ogre."

Putting down the fork in his hand, Jonathan turned his hands together, leaning his elbows on the dining table, leaning forward curiously: "How to say, tell me your opinion."

"His Hannibal is an existence beyond the category of ogre." Speaking of this, Thomas paused, as if recalling the scene he saw Cheng Feng perform today, and slowly said a few words: "Cheng Feng's Hannibal Nibal is an evil god above all living beings!"

Jonathan nodded, and hastily echoed, "You're right. You know, when Cheng Feng was performing, did I see anything in the eyes of this little girl, Christine?"

"Awe! Human beings are in awe of the powerful unknown, a kind of primitive worship!"

"Looks like you figured it out too."

Thomas nodded, and Jonathan went on to say, "Then Hannibal's candidate, you think Cheng Feng should be competent."

"He is a surprise arranged by God for me, there is no one more suitable than him."

"Then I want to ask for your opinion here. I plan to make changes to the background of the character Hannibal. Do you think it's okay?"

"Yes, his background is set as an aristocrat born in Lithuania. His father's status remains the same, and his mother is set to be a Chinese nobleman who immigrated from China to Lithuania to escape the war. However, after Hannibal was born, he died. Died due to dystocia.

And he and his young sister are half-brothers, and everything else is the same as before, including the tragic experience of his subsequent childhood. "

"It seems that you think more clearly than I do, so let's do this!" Jonathan raised his wine glass as a signal, and Thomas also picked up his wine glass with a smile. While tasting the delicious wine, they gorged themselves on the gluttonous food in front of them. feast.
