[American Entertainment] Dance out of my youth

Juliet said that it is very sad to have no money. Money can bring many benefits. It allows you to go to school wherever you want, and allows you to eat whatever you want without worrying about the next meal. money.In the relationship between men and women, it is also necessary to have no financial pressure. Having money is the difference between "rich" and "richer"; but without money, "poor and lowly couples mourn for everything", but the experience of thousands of years.

Grace thought her mother had a good point.

Compared with the Holland family, the Elliott family has similar economic backgrounds, and the Elliott family's conditions are slightly better, but the social class difference between the two families is not much different, and they have known each other since childhood, so it is okay to grow up together.Juliet said they were "childhood sweethearts" and told her the story of "childhood sweethearts":

"Lang rides a bamboo horse and goes around the bed to get green plums."

The story is lovely.

Love is an unquantifiable feeling, which makes her feel unclear. She likes things that can be quantified and have standard answers, but love is not; but "love" makes her happy, this is an indisputable fact, it seems—— enough?

She is thinking about the "future", but this "future" is very vague, that is, it is passed in a flash, and she has not thought deeply about it.

After St. Valentine's Day, in the third week of February, Tom shot another audition tape himself in his apartment and sent it to the casting director.The casting director sent over a new audition request, and the audition tape was sent again; the casting director arranged for an interview, and one day in March, his agent took him to meet the casting director.

He said before that he wanted to take Grace to see how he auditioned, but in fact she went and couldn't see his audition performance.The audition tape that was filmed on the spot was not given to him, it was only kept in the hands of the casting director.

After coming back, Tom was quite happy and felt that he was great!

Grace praised him and said, oh, you are really good!

The two flattered each other without thinking too much.

During spring break, Tom followed Grace to Silicon Valley.

There are many technology companies that develop artificial intelligence, including large, medium and small companies. Grace’s company is just one of thousands of small companies in Silicon Valley. It has few employees and a small office, but it is a big one for a small company. The computer room has the first batch of angel investment.

Grace was mostly in meetings, and Tom stayed in Grace's office.He had never been to Silicon Valley before, and he was curious, and also curious about Grace's work.He knows what artificial intelligence is, Jarvis, but he doesn't quite understand it more specifically.

There are 4 partners in the company, and the main researchers are the other two doctors. Grace is the youngest and looks more like a high school student than a company owner.The company has added a few programmers, but the number is still not more than 10 people, it is a very small company.

Grace and other partners are talking about Google's "Alpha Dog AlphaGo". Google acquired DeepMind last year and included DeepMind's Go artificial intelligence program AlphaGo. Its working principle is "deep learning"; Soda's working principle It is also "deep learning", but it does not take the route of reading scores-analysis-learning of AlphaGo, but a route that is more similar to the learning process of the human brain, which is more difficult.

When they talked about technical terms, Tom didn't understand at all, and thought: Wow!Very cool!

All in all, it sounds great when you hear it!

After returning to Pasadena, Grace got a set of AR equipment from nowhere and could play virtual tennis and virtual 3D games at home, so she began to feel that the apartment was too small and the living room was not big enough, so she planned to sell the apartment , add some money and change to a bigger apartment.

The two of them spend their free time looking at the house, and there are many requirements. The location is still in Pasadena, with convenient transportation, various facilities nearby, not too far from the hospital and supermarket, etc.

Tom also started to get busy, and his agent took him to Hollywood often. I went to meet the casting director in early April, and a week later, I went to a production company for a few hours, met with the producer and director, someone showed him a few pages of the script, and asked him to sign a non-disclosure agreement, Make sure he doesn't give away the script, then let him audition on the script he just got.

According to the agent, the situation is very good!Sony and Marvel have narrowed the shortlist down to fewer than 10 people, and he's sure Tom's name is still near the top of the list.

Tom was triumphant, "They made me sign a non-disclosure agreement! This shows that I have a great chance!"

"That's a good time to celebrate."

"Let's go out to eat."

"Okay. What's for food?"

"Chinese food." Because there are many Chinese people in Pasadena, there are many Chinese restaurants and many cuisines. In addition to Sichuan cuisine, there are also Hunan cuisine, Shandong cuisine, and local cuisine. They both like to eat local cuisine. The side dish is sweet and light.

Grace is still very busy this year. She has classes during the day and night. After class, she has to go to the library to do homework and projects. She is very busy.If Tom didn't go out, he would go to meet her for lunch and dinner. After dinner, he would go to the library with her for a few hours and watch her do her homework. Many times he would not go home until 11 o'clock in the evening when the library closed.

He was still young and didn't get enough sleep all day long, so he would fall asleep on his stomach in the library every time. After a few times, Grace stopped letting him accompany him, bought him games, and asked him to go home to play games after dinner .

He thought, in fact, he also needs to study, but it is different from the "study" she thinks. She may think that the kind of "study" in the library can be regarded as study-this is what happens when you have a schoolgirl girlfriend. The problem.Grace's professional book is so hypnotic that he can't read it at all.

He also met some young Hollywood actors recently, someone asked him out to play, he accepted the invitation several times, and felt that Hollywood is really rich and rich, only unexpected, nothing impossible.Someone asked him where he lived, did he have a girlfriend, and did he have any friends, and he mentioned that his girlfriend was studying for a Ph.D. at Caltech, so they laughed at him for finding an "old woman". He was very angry!

But there is no need to tell Grace about this matter, he can solve it by himself.He posted pictures of himself and Grace on Instagram and Twitter, she was as beautiful as those beautiful girls in Hollywood, which of course satisfied his vanity-but he was asked, where did this come from Pretty girl, where's your nerd girlfriend?

Don't these people have eyes? !

Grace didn't ask much about him, where did he spend his time when she wasn't home?Five days a week she didn't come home until after 5pm, and he was always home.However, the mileage of the car will not be faked. He probably goes out 11 or 2 nights a week. For an 3-year-old boy, he is very restrained.

She didn't ask, because most of the time she knew what he did a day just by observing, and she felt that she already knew, so there was no need to ask too much.Young boys may find it annoying that you ask too many questions, and she is not his mother, so she doesn't need to know everything.

Besides, Tom is such a chatterbox, he loves to talk about where he went today, who he met and what happened, and he can't hide things in his heart at all, so he talks about everything without her asking.

His temperament that can't hide anything is also very cute. It's good that he has no secrets from her.Susan said, if a man used to tell you everything, but suddenly he doesn't tell you everything, it means he has changed his mind.

What Susan said was not without reason.

He is now preoccupied with Peter Parker's audition, as well as other auditions, and has been looking at the script.I keep in touch with my little friend Harrison. Harrison is still in London, but this month he came to Los Angeles and stayed for half a month. The two of them went out to have fun.

Harrison came over, so they couldn't live in her apartment, so they went out to live in a hotel, and Grace also stayed in the hotel for a few days, saying that someone came to see the apartment.

The location of the apartment is very good, close to Caltech, with complete facilities nearby, and the price is not bad. People have been looking at the apartment, and finally it was sold at 130% of the purchase price.

Their new apartment has also been settled. It is in the block not far from the old apartment. The usable area is 60 square meters larger, with two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a living room, a kitchen, and a small storage room. Big circle.

After buying and selling, Grace bought a new apartment for less than $10 more.

Moving has been a busy week.

Grace had no time to pack, and Tom did most of the packing.In addition to a lot of clothes, a lot of books, and a lot of odds and ends.She has lived in the apartment for almost 5 years, and she has accumulated a lot of mess, most of which are trinkets that girls like.And the utensils in the kitchen, the knives, the big glass popcorn bowl.

Grace bought so many cardboard boxes that she almost used them all up.

The first Saturday in May, the day after International Labor Day.

Grace has no classes, so she can finally move.

The two of them got up together at 7 o'clock in the morning, Grace went to wash up, and Tom made sandwiches in the kitchen.

"Do you only know how to make sandwiches?" Grace changed into a light T-shirt and sports shorts.

"Otherwise you're stuck with berry granola and iced milk."

"Oatmeal is good too. I was wondering if we should get a waffle thing? What's that called?"

"Baking pan?"

"Probably. Do you like waffles? Anything goes with waffles. Cream, maple syrup, ice cream."

"It's okay—we can get one."

"Let's have a different breakfast. You can also have a Chinese breakfast. My mother said, you can buy a soymilk machine and make your own soymilk. The soymilk is also delicious. There are also Xiaolongtangbao! You like to eat the kind of thin skin stuffed with meat Small buns? We just ate them a few days ago."

"I like it, little...that steamed stuffed bun is very fragrant and delicious."

"Okay, we can also see if you like to eat other things. By the way, we haven't gone out for Cantonese morning tea for a long time."

He hurriedly said: "We can eat tomorrow morning, which one has it?"

The breakfast issue was over. At 9 o'clock, the moving company's car arrived downstairs.

*Moving into a new apartment is a joy.

The new furniture was moved in two days ago, and I bought two very comfortable double beds, one for the master bedroom and one for the guest bedroom.Tom originally thought that only one bedroom was enough, and the guest bedroom could be used as a study, but Grace was very surprised, saying that the bedroom should be the bedroom, and she planned to convert the small storage room into a workshop.

It hadn't occurred to him why she needed two bedrooms.

The author has something to say: *There seems to be no clear statement about how many times Spider-Man auditioned.The Holland brother himself said that he took a lot of audition tapes, and then the casting director read 7500 audition tapes for the role of Peter Parker (this number must be an approximate number, the actual number may be between 5000-8000?), If you count 1500 to 2000 young actors, that’s about 4-5 audition tapes per person.But in fact, many people will be rejected in the first round and the second round. Dutch brother Asa and the others may have provided about 10 audition tapes. After that, they will definitely have at least one face-to-face interview with the casting director, and they will also talk to Russell. Interview with the brothers, interview with Sony people.The 6 finalists were called to Atlanta for an interview with supporting actors at the end of May. At that time, "American Team 5" was filming in Atlanta. Because Spider-Man was not selected, the airport battle should be the highlight of the final filming.

So I just wrote the part about the audition myself.

*About Holland's good friend Harrison, they should have met in BRIT.Some people say that they are bamboo horses and bamboo horses. They have known each other since they were young. Like Matt Damon and Ben Affleck, they don't pay much attention to Harrison, so let's just think they met in BRIT.

Of course, both of them have friends, but the focus of this article is not on friends, so I will briefly mention them.

*Holland’s school is DonheadPreparatorySchool, a Catholic boys’ school, from 6 to 12 years old; junior WimbledonCollege, a Catholic boys’ school, from 12 to 16 years old; high school BRITSchool, an art school, from 16 to 18 years old.

*Looked through Douban Holland’s photo album. He should have had the flat warts removed on his chin during BRIT (this is a common occurrence on the face of teenagers. If there are no hidden dangers, it’s better to remove it early), and during Wimbledon, he had his teeth straightened. In "Jump Out of My Life", the teeth were obviously missing.
