Superstar Aspirations

Climans Holt, who was born in a film family, shot a small-cost micro-movie with a video camera at the age of 12. After that, he directly directed the department. At the age of 19, he won a box office of 1000 million US dollars with a short film. It has entered the field of vision of movie lovers all over the world.

With the father of a top Hollywood director, Holt Jr. did not completely follow the line of the family. Instead, he took a break from filming for two years after filming his first film and went to China to serve as Liu Lao's assistant director to learn knowledge and experience.

In those two years, Mr. Liu made a total of two films, the first of which was a Sino-Japanese cooperative film called "Wangyue Mountain".

Climans joined the crew temporarily. The whole crew had been filming for half a month. He suddenly came in through the back door. Naturally, it was difficult to get along with these crew members.Mr. Liu decided to help his old friend take care of his son only for the sake of old Holt's face. This does not mean that the old man is willing to be Climans' nanny.

As a result, the Hollywood nobleman faced the most serious problem as soon as he arrived at the crew: communication difficulties.

Chinese is indeed very popular all over the world, but this language is also really difficult to learn.Climans can speak a little Chinese, but his level is really not that good, he can't cope with daily communication at all, and he can't speak Japanese at all.

The crew did not hire translators, because many of the crew members themselves are Japanese, they can speak some Chinese, and there is no problem in their work.

Now, the entire crew only needs an interpreter from a Hollywood nobleman.

It stands to reason that it is a very simple matter, but it made the producer feel terrible.

"Our movie was filmed in a remote mountain village near Bodo. Where can I find a person who is proficient in Chinese, Japanese and English for Mr. Holt? The nearby mountain villages are full of old people and children. The younger generation There is not even a shadow of him, not to mention Chinese, he can’t even speak English!”

Mr. Liu was also very upset: "Let him find it, at worst, go to Boduo to find it. His Chinese is not as good as that, and that old fellow Lance dares to tell me that his son is very good at Chinese?"

The producer wanted to cry but had no tears: "Compared with Lance Holt, I think Kerry's Chinese is pretty good."

Mr. Liu scoffed.

Without an interpreter, Clemens couldn't do much on set.Not every staff has a good command of English, and it is impossible for a staff with good English to follow him every day and not do his own business.

Since coming to the crew of "Watching the Moon Mountain", Climans has been in a state of isolation and helplessness.The producer really worked hard to drive the mountain road to Bodo, and found several translators for him.

"The crew will still be filming for at least four months, and they will also be filming in this deep mountain and old forest. There are only three of them. Kerry, you can choose one yourself."

Among the three translators who were willing to be stationed in the mountains, the first one was a long-haired woman wearing a pair of silver-rimmed glasses. She was serious and calm, and could communicate with Climans in fluent Chinese, Japanese and English.The second one is an elderly, middle-aged man who speaks Chinese very well and has no Japanese accent at all.

And the third place...

Kerry looked up and down for a long time, every second he looked, the little chubby man lowered his face a little, his hands clenched into fists nervously, his nails dug into the flesh, almost bleeding from pinching.

The young Hollywood nobleman thought for a while and asked in English, "What's your name?"

The man replied with the sound of a mosquito snoring: "Lin...Lin Shen."

Kerry frowned suddenly: "What did you say?"

Little Fatty suddenly raised his head nervously: "Lin Shen, my name is Lin Shen."

Unexpectedly, the other party would have such a big reaction, Kerry was stunned for a while, and then asked a few more questions.In the end, he turned to the producer and said, "This is Lin Shen. I can't understand the English of the other two people. The English of this Chinese person doesn't have such a strong accent, so he can do it."

Neither of them expected that the other party would choose a fat man with no good looks.Even Lin Shen himself looked at the producer in disbelief, as if he didn't understand what the other party meant.

The producer was also very puzzled, if he was allowed to choose, he would definitely be the first one not to choose this fat man.No matter how he looks, he is too big, and he looks so intrusive. If he had to choose a translator who lived with him day and night for four months, he would definitely choose the beautiful Japanese translator.

Of course, this is to choose a translator for Climans. Since the other party has decided so, the producer will follow him.

Three days before being selected as the translator, Lin Shen was still in a daze, as if he still hadn't accepted the facts.But Climans would not give him a chance to adapt. With an interpreter, he officially joined the crew and began to do things for Mr. Liu.

In a film crew, investors and producers are not counted, and the director is naturally the core of everything, but the assistant directors are not necessarily second-hand.In the beginning, Mr. Liu was simply helping an old friend by letting his son come to his crew for an internship.But Climans' strong mobility and efficiency made him start to look sideways, and on the fifth day, he began to arrange very important tasks for him.

Since then, Climans has been busy running around in the crew, like a spinning top, with almost no time to rest.He is so busy, so his translator must not be able to rest. The fat little fat man has to put in such a high-intensity work and become a bridge for Kerry to communicate with the crew.

A week ago, he was an ordinary student in the school, but a week later, he was running around in the deep mountains and old forests.

Finally, after a period of busy work, at noon one day, Clemens took some rice balls for his translator, but saw the translator holding a thick booklet from a distance, and he didn't know what he was reading. .

The blond-haired nobleman raised his eyebrows and passed the rice ball over: "What are you looking at?" He looked down at the booklet, only to see that there were many different characters and symbols drawn with colorful pens, "Chinese? I don't know Chinese very well. , I can speak a little bit, but I can read few words. What are you looking at?"

The little fat man quickly took the rice ball, flattered and said: "I'm reading the script. The script of our "Wangyue Mountain" was given to me by Xiao Li, so I just...just read it for fun."

Kerry smiled: "Why are you reading this script? Show me how to write Moon Moon Mountain in Chinese?"

The little fat man quickly turned to the first page of the script, and pointed at the top title with trembling fingers: "Huo...Mr. Holt, these three words are Moon Moon Mountain."

Climans glanced at it casually, but he wasn't really interested.But looking at the terrified look on this little fat man's face, he felt that it was much more interesting than the square characters full of scripts.After thinking about it, Climans suddenly put on a straight face, and said coldly: "You are just a translator, what are you doing reading the script? The scene I want to shoot is a landscape scene, and it has nothing to do with the scripts you read. What are you doing? What did you come to our crew for? Huh?!"

There is not much difference in age between the two, but the way Climans scolds people every day is deeply imprinted in Lin Shen's heart.He has long heard that this young man is actually the only son of international director Lance Holt. He made movies at the age of 12 and won an award at the age of 15. Coming to Mr. Liu's side is like being gilded. He is still very strong, and has frightened the crew for a few days. As long as he swears, no one dares to choke.

Suddenly being rushed by the opponent, Lin Shen's cheeks flushed with fright, and his eyes became a little sour.

Although he was Kerry's translator, the two of them didn't communicate much. The nobleman didn't talk to him at all. This was the first time this kind of conversation happened today.In this situation, Lin Shen was anxious and afraid, so anxious that the other party misunderstood his intentions, and so afraid that the other party would fire him.

After hemming and hawing for a while, Lin Shen was so anxious that tears flowed down his face, but he heard Clemens suddenly burst out laughing.

Lin Shen looked up at the other party in a daze while weeping.He had been the interpreter for the other party for two weeks, and it was the first time he saw this person laughing.Even though he is only 20 years old, this Mr. Holt is very mature. He has a cold face all day long, and he only has a good face when facing Mr. Liu.Even in the face of the beauty queen, when she made an exaggerated request for fresh cherries, Mr. Holt could sarcastically scold her for being whimsical and go home to dream.

But now, Mr. Holt was laughing.

Lin Shen didn't understand why, Kerry laughed for a while and said, "I'm just kidding you."

Lin Shen: "...are you kidding me?"

Kerry didn't answer any more, but instead asked, "Are you studying in Japan? What are you studying, acting?" Kerry really thinks it's impossible to become an actor with this appearance.

Lin Shen raised his hand to wipe away his tears, then lowered his head: "I didn't learn acting."

Kerry asked: "If you don't study acting, how do you know so many technical terms in film?"

The biggest difficulty in finding an interpreter for Kleemans is not to be proficient in Chinese, Japanese and English, but to know a lot of industry terms.

Lin Shen lowered his head even more now: "I... I taught myself..."

"Want to be an actor?"

The little fat man nodded heavily, but quickly shook his head again.

Kerry finished the last bite of the rice ball, and said in a casual tone: "I don't recommend you to become an actor. I have never seen your acting skills, so let's not talk about this. In terms of appearance, you are very difficult to be popular. Now whether it is Hollywood The market is still in the Chinese market, and with your body shape, you can only play a supporting role at most, and you can only make ends meet in the industry. If you want to be an actor, you have to lose weight first, as far as you are concerned, you will not be popular right now."

Lin Shen suddenly became anxious: "I don't want to be popular. Mr. Holt, I... I don't care if I'm popular or not, I just want to act!"

Hearing this, Climans was stunned for a moment, and finally said with a half-smile: "Then you can show me a part? Just play this part." Then, he casually pointed his slender fingers at the corner of the script. on a certain paragraph.

The little fat man squeezed the script tightly, got up and started to perform.Then 5 minutes later, a series of louder laughter sounded than before.

"Hahahahaha no, no, no, you'd better stop playing the male lead, your image contrasts too much with his. Little fat man, you are very interesting, you should be my interpreter, you can speak English very well, I think... ...I think...hahahahahahaha..."

This laughter attracted the attention of the rest of the crew, making the little fat man feel ashamed, he could only lower his head and hide the script tightly behind him.

Kerry smiled for a while, raised his hand and patted the little fat man on the shoulder, then got up and went to work.But the surrounding voices came over bit by bit——

"It was really funny just now, I laughed too hahahaha."

"This fat man shouldn't be acting in that scene. Sugita Ryuya just acted in this scene yesterday. When they compared... oh no, I'm dying of laughter. The gap is too big. When this fat man was acting, the flesh on his arm Shaking..."

"Actually, Xiao Lin is quite nice, but he really can't act."

The fat translator lowered his head even more, and tightly clenched his fingers, not uttering a single word.

However, things didn't go that way.

Ever since he knew that his little fat translator wanted to act, Clemens kept chatting with him about this topic with great interest, and even asked him to act in a few paragraphs.Every time I agreed to give him advice, but every time he ended up laughing, he couldn't make any comments at all.

The script was full of notes made by the little fat man, and Kerry didn't notice that every time after he left, the little fat man would carefully analyze what was wrong with his acting just now with red eyes.

Until one time, when the little fat man accidentally slipped and nearly fell while acting, a male staff member passed by, and he happened to support Lin Shen to prevent him from falling.

After being helped up, Lin Shen quickly thanked him, but the staff member muttered: "If you are so fat, don't play any leading role. If you want to act, you can practice in private. Why do you perform in such a public place? You don't want Face, we still need to save face, that Sugita assistant laughed at you during dinner yesterday, saying that we Chinese people don’t know the heights of the heavens and the earth, saying..."

"What is he saying?"

Listening to the staff member's words, Lin Shen's eyes gradually became moist, his throat was dry and sore, and suddenly a voice came from in front of him.He looked up, and at some point, Kerry got up and walked in front of him, frowning and asked, "What did he just say, please translate for me."

Lin Shen had a hoarse voice, his face was flushed with embarrassment, but he had to translate: "He said... Said, Sugita Tatsuya's assistant thinks I shouldn't be acting in this kind of scene, my body is not suitable, this... this role , not very suitable for me."

Climans lowered his eyes, and said in a cold voice, "I asked you to be my translator, not to let you lie to me. My Chinese is not so bad that I can't understand the word 'to ridicule'. Lin Shen, right? Translate to me word for word what he said."

Ten minutes later, Ryu Sugita approached Mr. Liu angrily: "Mr. Liu, why did Mr. Holt drive my assistant out of the set! Even if my assistant said something bad about his translator, that's my fault." What does a personal assistant have to do with him. We can apologize to that Mr. Lin, but Mr. Holt is not qualified to fire my assistant! He is not qualified to help me fire my assistant!"

Old Liu's mouth twitched: "What the hell? What happened?"

Sugita Ryu also recounted the matter angrily.

When he heard that Holt took people to find Tatsuya Sugita, Mr. Liu was still relatively calm. No matter what, that assistant shouldn’t laugh at others, although Kerry’s translation is indeed... um... there is something wrong with his image, so he can’t It's right to be angry when you talk bad things about people behind their backs all the time.Mr. Liu even thought: Kerry is not bad, and he can protect his weaknesses.

But when Mr. Liu heard that Kerry punched the assistant as soon as they met, and arrogantly asked the assistant to bring the other side of his face up before letting him beat him, Mr. Liu choked on his saliva.

Sugita Long also said angrily: "It's too much for him to be so defiant! Mr. Liu, if I don't handle this matter well, I won't be filming the scene. My assistant just said a few words casually. Why should he fight?" people!"

"Say something casually?" A deep voice sounded from behind Sugita Tatsuya, and I saw the blond-haired director holding his translator's arm with one hand, while giving Sugita Tatsuya a sarcastic look, and said, "I thought it was just Some boring white people like to engage in racial discrimination. It turns out that you Japanese also discriminate against others in private. Those assistants of your Japanese actors, if they have the ability, talk about my translation in front of my face. Since they have no ability, they dare to speak behind my back Say, it's best not to be caught by me."

Sugita Tatsuya glared at each other: "You... you you you!"

"Me?" Clemens looked at the extremely angry Sugita Tatsuya calmly, "I actually didn't beat many stars in Hollywood, after all, there were not many people who messed with me. But I did beat two first-line stars , Chao Yixian also beat one. There are stars in the entertainment circle that I dare not beat, but you are not among those people. So, you want me to beat you?"

Sugita Tatsuya: "Mr. Liu, you saw it, how could he be so nonsense!"

Climans turned to look at his interpreter: "It's too dirty for me to beat him up. If he really wants me to beat him up, you can just slap him twice for me."

The little fat man shook his head anxiously: "No...it's not that serious. Mr. Holt, they just said something behind my back, you don't need to..."

"It doesn't matter if you talk about other people, but if you talk about me, Climans Holt, get out of here with just one word."

Sugita Tatsuya said: "Mr. Liu, I can't make this scene anymore, he is too deceitful!"

Saying that, Sugita Ryu also walked away quickly, looking furious.However, when he walked up to Climans, the blond nobleman taunted him, "You're not a small tone, do you dare to punch me?"

Ryu Sugita clenched his fist and really hit Climans in the face, but he stopped before ten centimeters away, turned around and left through gritted teeth.

Kerry let out a disdainful snort from his nose: "I don't even have the courage."

Old Liu's sullen voice sounded from behind: "Climans Holt, you are really amazing. Then tell me, do I dare to hit you?"

This matter was finally resolved in this way. Sugita Tatsuya's assistant left the crew, but he was not fired. He just changed an assistant to take care of the crew.Climans refused to apologize in the end, according to his words: "Tatsuya Sugita? I am not qualified to apologize to him."

The arrogance and arrogance of the film family and Hollywood nobleman made the entire crew of "Wangyue Mountain" feel vividly overnight.Countless staff members suddenly realized now that this young director who walked through the back door is really not easy to offend, but they also have contempt for this noble son: "Isn't it because of the family that they dare to be so aggressive? If his surname is not Hall Te, I'm sure I'll distort his haughty face."

"But he is also speaking for us. Sugita Tatsuya's assistant keeps his eyes high all day long, and those Japanese assistants have been secretly speaking ill of us Chinese people."

"Then he can't hit people, it's good to let them apologize."

"...You think so. I think it's quite cool, if only I could kick people out of the crew so casually."

For Tatsuya Sugita, he was just a new Japanese actor, and he didn't dare to get angry with Liu Lao, and he didn't dare to confront the Holt family. He lost his temper at most, but that's how it passed.However, for Climans, he doesn't care about Tatsuya Sugita's emotions, he just wants to know: "Since you know that they scold you like that in private, why do you want to act in public?"

After being called by his father across the ocean and severely scolded, Clemens was very upset at this moment.He tousled his golden hair irritably, with a pair of blue eyes between the messy blond hair - in terms of appearance, he is also qualified to despise that Sugita Tatsuya.

Lin Shen lowered his head again.

Climans became even more irritable: "I'll let you talk and answer my questions."

The little fat man trembled: "You said...you said that you wanted to see my acting, and you could give me advice. I...I don't want to miss this opportunity. Mr. Holt, Mr. Liu also praised you, saying that you I am a natural director. So... so I want to get your advice, just a sentence... a sentence is fine..."

Climans stopped suddenly.

After a long time, he murmured, "Have I ever said such a thing?"

Lin Shen nodded.

He asked again: "...then have I given you advice?"

Lin Shen didn't move anymore, but Climans pushed the table away irritably: "Forget it, it's also my fault this time. You go to my room every night from now on, don't you want to act? I can't help you lose weight , this is your own business, but I can still give you some corrections for your acting skills."

Hearing this, the little fat man immediately raised his head and looked at the person in front of him stupidly.

When you like someone, some people fall in love at first sight, while others need an opportunity.

At that time, Climans probably never knew it. He was obviously full of irritability, and even rumpled that soft blond hair into a pile of weeds, but in the eyes of that little chubby man, he suddenly felt that his body It seems to be emitting light.

Some people are bad deep down, with a human face and a beast heart.

Some people are bad on the surface, wrapping a soft heart with a disgusting skin.

"Since then, I can't hate him, and I can't hate him anymore. In fact, he often doesn't understand what he is doing, and whether his behavior will hurt others. But Brother Chu, I can't hate him, even if He called me a pig, he said he was disgusting and actually slept with a pig like me, brother Chu... I really can't hate him, I don't even know how to hate him..."
