Until the starlight [entertainment circle]

The first step Yue Haonan made was to secure his position in Hollywood and gain the public's affirmation.

He asked Fang Zong to find all the film scripts that were under preparation for half a year, and after a night of selection, he finally picked a science fiction film, and wanted to try a talented painter with autism in it.

The title of this movie is translated as "Escape". It tells the story of the end of the world. Seven people with different identities and personalities escape from the earth in a spaceship and find a new home in the universe.

The director of the movie is Weissman Kane, a gold medal director in Hollywood, who has won two Piscar Awards for Best Picture. His subordinates have never had bad movies.

After choosing the script, Yue Haonan called Fang Zong: "Director Fang, I want to play "Escape"."

Fang Zong was eating breakfast over there, swallowed the bread in his mouth and asked, "Where is Weissman?"

"correct."

"Not bad, he found you?"

"No, he still doesn't know that I'm going to participate in this matter."

"..."

"So you need to give me his company address, home address and various contact methods, and I will find a way to convince him."

"..."

"Director Fang? Are you listening? Hello?"

"Hao Nan, are you crazy? Weissman is famous for being an antique. All the actors have to be selected by themselves. If you want to recommend yourself to join his crew, you will not be able to in your next life! And he speaks very poisonously, Don't ask for trouble, a friend of mine is preparing to make a war-themed commercial film, do you want to..."

"No, I'm going to play "Runaway"."

"..."

"Director Fang, if you have time to persuade me, you might as well give me his address and contact information and continue eating breakfast."

"..."

Fang Zong hung up the phone over there, and Yue Haonan received a text message five minutes later, which contained Weisman's full address and contact information.

Yue Haonan went over all Weissman's hobbies and habits that he collected, and went out solemnly.

Weissman likes to drink Italian espresso, so Yue Haonan went to buy two cups and sat in the lobby of the company where Weissman worked, waiting for him.At exactly nine o'clock, Weisman came with the deacon.

Weisman is British, and it is said that he has noble blood. He is used to following the British style of the 80s in his behavior and life. No matter where he goes, he follows his deacon—that is, the butler.

Yue Haonan greeted him with a cup of coffee, took out the business card he had prepared earlier and said respectfully: "Hello Director Kane, I am Yue Haonan from China, I am an actor, and I want to win a role in your new film "Runaway" .”

Weissman looked at the business card in Yue Haonan's hand expressionlessly, then looked up at him for a few seconds, and said expressionlessly: "Now the coffee shop delivery people are so ugly? White, give me the coffee money He." After finishing speaking, he entered the elevator, the deacon responded, took out twenty dollars and put it on the business card that Yue Haonan held out, and followed him into the elevator.

Yue Haonan laughed at himself, packed his business card and money, and had no choice but to open the coffee and drink it by himself.

Well, talking is really poisonous.

At noon, Weisman finished his work and called White to ask him to buy lunch for himself. After a while, White came back with a lunch box.

"Mr. Kane, today's lunch is your favorite seafood baked noodles from Miss Lily's."

"Oh? You ran three blocks to buy it?" Weissman took White's lunch box, opened the lid, and the familiar aroma hit his face, making him salivate.

"It's not me. It was sent by Mr. Yue this morning. He also sent a business card for me to pass on to you. He said he wanted to play "Runaway." White said and put the business card on the table. horn.

Weisman's face immediately turned cold, and he closed the lid of the lunch box and said, "Return it all to him, and you can buy me another."

White bowed slightly and said, "Okay." Then he took the lunch box in front of Weissman away.

"Wait! Go and buy the seafood baked noodles from Miss Lily's house, I want to eat it."

"Okay, Mr. Kane, it's just that there are too many people queuing up at Miss Lily's house. I won't be back until about two hours later. During this period, please eat some preserved fruit to fill your stomach."

Weissman: "..."

"Mr. Yue must have lined up there two hours ago. It's really hard work in such a cold weather. Oh, by the way, I also saw him take this baked noodles in an insulated lunch box. No wonder It's still hot to the touch."

Weisman's expression was still cold: "White, why do you talk so much today? Hurry up and buy food."

"I'm sorry Mr. Kane, I made a slip of the tongue." After finishing speaking, he silently exited Weissman's office.

Weissman actually knew Yue Haonan. After all, he starred in the first Chinese film nominated by Pisca, and he also watched "Nine Songs". Yue Haonan's outstanding performance in it surprised him, but it was only amazing. Forget it, in his opinion, a person like Yue Haonan who can be glamorous with every frown and smile does not match the repressive and cold science fiction style, so he is not going to let him participate in any role in "Runaway" at all. .

It's better to make it clear to him earlier, so as not to let him waste his time.

In the evening, when Weissman returned home, he heard the happy laughter of his daughter and his wife coming from the door. He opened the door suspiciously, and saw Yue Haonan happily playing games with his daughter in the living room.

The scene in front of him was so unbelievable that Weissman didn't react for a while. It was Weissman's wife who saw him first, smiled and greeted him and gave him a kiss, saying: "My dear, you are back, this Mr. Yue said he had something to do with you, but I thought it was too cold outside, so I asked him to come inside and wait."

Weissman was so angry that he said coldly to Yue Haonan who was having fun with his daughter: "You, come here."

Yue Haonan raised his head from a pile of toys, nodded obediently: "Oh, good." Then he stood up, unexpectedly, Weissman's daughter reluctantly grabbed Yue Haonan's trousers, and asked with a flat mouth: " Will you come back and play with me?"

Yue Haonan gently rubbed the little girl's head and said, "Yes, I'll be right back."

Weisman was very upset: Why did they get together so quickly? !Hey boy stay away from her that's my daughter!

In the study, Weissman sat on a chair, tapping his fingers on the solid wood tabletop, while Yue Haonan stood in front of his desk with his hands down like a schoolboy who made a mistake.

"Let me make it clear to you, "Runaway" will not consider casting Asians."

"It wasn't necessary to think about it before, but now it's time to think about it." Yue Haonan said with a smile.

Weisman choked on this: "Give me a reason."

"I can definitely complete my role more perfectly than anyone else, and I can also help you open up the Chinese market."

"I don't need a non-professional to help me open a market in a certain country. If I want, I can always hire a real professional market operator to do everything I need."

"You probably don't know that I have a certain fanciness group in China, and before I came to the United States, I caused a lot of trouble in China because of my sexual orientation. If I use that storm reasonably, I can contribute to " "Runaway" created gimmicks to increase the box office and captured the Chinese film market in one fell swoop."

Weisman was a little tempted, thought for a while and said, "Okay, I'll give you a supporting role, how about playing the loyal officer when the disaster happened?"

Yue Haonan smiled but did not answer.

Weisman sneered: "Why, are you still not satisfied? If you really have acting skills, even a small supporting role with only ten lines can perform an extraordinary soul."

Yue Haonan shook his head: "First of all, I'm not dissatisfied with this role, I just think there is a more suitable role for me, and the officer's lines are not ten lines, but seventeen lines."

Weissman froze for a moment, looked at Yue Haonan and asked, "How do you remember it so clearly?"

"I memorized the entire script."

Oh, interesting.There was a slight smile at the corner of Weissman's mouth. It was the first time in a long time that Yue Haonan saw an expression that could be called a "smile" on Weissman's face, and he couldn't help being flattered.

Weissman took out a large booklet from the drawer and flipped through a page: "Tell me about Lear's lines in Act Eight, Act Three."

Yue Haonan replied without thinking: "I think it's too dangerous to do this! No! Cosis! Stop! This will kill us all!"

Yue Haonan not only recited the lines, but also quickly entered the role and vividly performed the tension of life hanging by a thread, and the expression on Weissman's face softened.

He put down the script in his hand and asked again: "So which character do you want to play?"

"Webster Humphrey, the autistic painter."

"Pfft——" Weissman couldn't hold back his laughter, "Are you kidding me? That character is timid, skinny, and a thousand miles away from your image, okay? And you've memorized the script, so it should be very clear , In the end, he got in through the gap of the stuck hatch to save the lives of others, do you think you can squeeze in through the gap half the width of your body?"

Yue Haonan shrugged his shoulders and said nonchalantly, "It's not possible now, but it will be possible when the filming starts in half a month."

"Going out and turning right is the gate of my house, so walk slowly." Weissman lowered his head to read the script, and ignored Yue Haonan.

Yue Haonan said persistently: "Director Kane, please give me a chance! Ten days! Give me ten days, and I will become Webster Humphrey standing in front of you!"

"As I said, turn right when you go out, thank you." Weissman returned to his cold face, and his tone was firm that could not be refuted.

Yue Haonan sighed softly, knowing that there would be no further progress today, so he nodded, said goodbye and left.
