That kind of indifference is not purely malicious, or full of sarcasm, but to be more specific, it is a kind of complete disregard.No one will take the initiative to chat with Ebert, and the greeting every morning is indifferent. According to the character of Ebert in the past, he might shake his old fist to repay the cold treatment of the crew, but no one knows that Ebert has changed now. Core, became a completely different person.

He actually enjoyed the feeling of reading a book quietly by himself.In the years when his acting career was on the rise in his previous life, even in his sleep he would think about his new script, go out to eat a hot pot and had to cover up all kinds of secrets, and he didn't have time to do something quietly by himself.

This is actually the norm in the entertainment industry. When you are not popular, you will go crazy when you are leisurely. Once you become popular, various activities and invitations will overwhelm a person.

What's more, Ebert had guessed the thoughts of the crew of "The Newcomer" in private. They wanted to put pressure on him to drive him crazy in this way, and then they would have the opportunity to make a big story in the media.

In Ebert's view, this kind of plan is completely unnecessary.The United States is a country with a very developed film industry, and Hollywood's business model has almost solidified. This method of gaining attraction through hype will certainly produce staged effects, but it is still unknown whether the audience will buy it.

Besides, the biggest problem in this matter is that American audiences have grown impatient with Albert Dawson.

People's patience often has a limit. When the audience likes a certain star, they would like to see the news of this star in entertainment magazines. When the colors are all covered, the audience will absolutely collapse.

Celebrity is not everyone loves dollars.

If "The Newcomer's Arrival" really focused on making a fuss about himself, Ebert could only silently wish them good luck in his heart.

"He doesn't seem to care at all, Ed, are we going to continue with our plan?" Joshua glanced in the direction of Ebert, only to see a figure with his head down, who seemed to be working hard , "Henry said that he has been reading books these days, as if he was watching Tolkien's "Lord of the Rings". To be honest, I think Ebert is more suitable for the role of Legolas. Peter Jackson seems to have chosen a newcomer .”

"Joshua, you've gone too far." Ed Deckert narrowed his eyes and pondered, "Do you think he's pretending or thinking of something else? I've never seen a person change so completely ...Oh, even so, I don’t think I will change my mind, think about our movies, even if we can arrange more films by then, we don’t need to worry too much.”

"Okay, okay, old man, you have the final say."

Ebert was paid $1000 after the four-day shoot for "Arrival"—slightly more than he expected, which was $3.

It's a pity that compared to the excitement of receiving a movie invitation before, he was in a bad mood.He obviously underestimated the bad influence of the name Albert Dawson in the movie, and the only crew willing to provide him with a role was not kind to him. This reality made him feel a little bit hit.

Anyway, he has $2000 now.He can rent a room in a suitable place, change his mobile phone number by the way, and leave the past of this body far away.

In addition to the $2000, Ebert also dug up the Versace and Armani suits that the original owners had only worn once on various occasions, and sent them to second-hand stores to bring Ebert thousands of dollars in income.

As the saying goes, if you have money in your hands, don’t panic. Ebert, who is still a Chinese at heart, has always had a strong sense of money. Taking advantage of the money in his hand, he rented a room in the southwest of Los Angeles before the end of the month. His current life is enough.Not far from this apartment is the well-known CAA agency, so the renters nearby are all young people with dreams of stardom, hoping to one day be favored by a big agent on the street and become a top figure in Hollywood.

What a fool.

The former tenant of Ebert’s house was a young and lively girl. The landlord enthusiastically told him how she met a producer and entered the prosperous world of Hollywood: “She is indeed very beautiful, and she is more beautiful than Julia. Roberts is still pretty, and Roberts rented my house at that time, but it was not this one, it was on another street. It’s a pity that the producer is a bit older, I heard that he is already 65 this year.”

"I think you look good, boy, and you're going to be popular."

"Thank you, Mr. Johnson."

"Speak from the bottom of my heart. Boy, there is a hamburger restaurant downstairs, a bar and KTV across the street, and a French restaurant and an Italian restaurant across the street. You can change your taste occasionally." Mr. Johnson did not forget to remind Ebert, "Here It's a normal apartment, I don't welcome young people who like to smoke marijuana and have bad parties, you don't have such hobbies, do you?"

Judging from Johnson's more than [-] years of experience, Ebert looks very energetic, with a positive atmosphere all over his body. Older people like such energetic young people, so he also has a lot of energy. Said a few words to Ebert: "The scenery here is very good, the transportation is also convenient, and there is a park within two steps nearby, which is very suitable for exercising."

"Yes, I like playing badminton very much. If Mr. Johnson has time, we can make an appointment for a round."

Johnson smiled and raised his white beard: "That's not okay. When I was young, I was a good athlete. Now my body is no younger than yours. If I go out to play a game, I probably have to rest for a week when I go home. .The other two tenants here are young lads, maybe you can chat with them, but if you like fishing, do call me, I know there are the biggest and most delicious fish. "

Ebert is very satisfied with his new house. The landlord, Mr. Johnson, is a very kind and loving old man. Among the houses Ebert has seen, only this one has the best environment, and the windows and balconies are wiped clean Yes, there is no dirty graffiti in the stairwell, and even the sofa in the living room was recently replaced. For a young bachelor like him, he couldn't ask for more.

What satisfied Ebert the most was that his room had a bright view, and he could see the most beautiful night view of Los Angeles at night. Mr. Johnson also specially moved a few pots of flowers and plants for him to put on the balcony, and Ebert tidied it up himself. This house feels like home.

Ebert is a person who loves his family very much. He was born in a relatively large family in his previous life. The members are very familiar with each other and love each other. His father is serious and loving, and his mother is kind and gentle. It is completely different from the cold family of Ebert in this life. different.Although he saw clearly that he really wanted to live in such an environment, he would try to create a warm atmosphere whenever he could.

After tidying up the room, Ebert let out a sigh of relief.He lay on the soft bed, silently thinking about his future plans.

In fact, no matter what, he had to find a way to find a job opportunity.Mr. Johnson was willing to rent the house to him because of his clean temperament and pleasing appearance, and even gave him a discount of 50 US dollars a month, but even so, the house also cost 700 US dollars a month, and Ebert paid half a year's rent. Rent, the money in the pocket is running out.He rummaged through the original owner's belongings but couldn't find a big-name suit. It wasn't until he found an Earl watch that didn't meet his aesthetics in a mezzanine when he was packing up, that he finally solved his urgent need.

What a sad life for the poor!

Ebert rubbed his forehead, he had never worried about money in his previous life.Now he urgently needs a movie to open up the market for himself, he only needs a movie with a high enough level of director and enough space for the actors to play. He believes that he can use his acting skills to wash away his current notoriety.

In any case, it won't be a movie like "The Newcomer".

Just as he was about to get up and find something to eat, he heard footsteps coming from the living room, and the footsteps were getting closer until Ebert heard a knock on his door.When he got dressed and went to open the door, he saw a smiling young man waving to him. However, when the young man saw him clearly, his eyes widened for a moment, as if he saw something incredible .

"Are you Albert Dawson?" Albert heard him ask himself.So he nodded.

"Why do you rent here? Mr. Johnson told me that a new tenant will live in today. I never thought it would be you." After talking for a long time, it seemed that he suddenly thought of Ebert's notoriety, and he couldn't help but backed away. two steps.

Ebert thought he would leave, but the young man rushed in from the door in the next second: "You shouldn't be the kind of guy who wants to hit someone if you disagree, right? Anyway, new neighbor, I'm very happy Meet you, I'm Mark Reedus, just call me Mark, I made small pancakes, they taste delicious!"

"We also have a roommate, his name is Bradley Cooper, a few years older than me, I have something to go out today, I think you should be able to see him tonight, I live here You've been the most famous guy I've seen in a long time..."
