[American Entertainment] The road to becoming a god

"...No action, no lines, not even a scene, no! Nothing! Nothing, how the hell am I going to analyze the characters!" Gaspar was about to turn over the script that Hodge gave him, and there was still one None of the positive portrayals about him, wait, correct, it's the character he's about to audition for and not him. "God!" He leaned back fiercely, the draft paper that was pressed on the script was blown away by the wind, Gaspar raised his head, as if imprisoned in slow motion, he began to swipe the draft in front of his eyes I looked for traces on the paper, but there was nothing on it, it was a piece of white paper, like snowflakes on Christmas Eve.

This was Gaspar's first exposure to a film project that was so closely guarded that even the actors who auditioned couldn't get a complete script with information about the eventual murderer.

He's been researching it for two days, and still can't come to any conclusions—except that the murderer is a religious |lunatic.

This situation made Gaspar quite irritable. Even the various decorations that Hodge bought at a large price in his room could not calm him down. Perhaps the entire vault full of dollar bills could calm him down.This movie in front of him will give him that much money...well, at least half of the coffers, but only if he can win this role.

【Joe! ] Gaspar somewhat resigned himself to contacting Mr. Agent, who is still working hard in London, [I give up, show me the finished film, I can't find anything out of this blank script... how could anyone To spend so much effort to kill according to the seven sins?It doesn't make any sense at all... I mean, look at that poor guy, he was tied to a bed for a whole year!What the hell is this for! 】

Agent Joe patiently listened to Gaspar's complaints. He had just finished dealing with the British Film Association, the censorship agency. A long list of complaints.

[Oh, poor baby Garth. 】Believe him, he doesn't think Gasper is pitiful at all, Joe even said this with a smile,【Do you want to watch it as a movie, I have no objection.You can also call the system, Gus, you don’t need to ask for my opinion on everything...the system——]

【No!No, I don't think so. ] Gaspar sat up abruptly, he propped himself up on the table again, and brushed all the rebellious hair on his forehead to the back of his head with one hand, 【I'd better keep thinking, don't bother the system. 】

Joe: [Are you sure? 】

Gaspar nodded: [I'm sure.I still remember the bad result of the only time I watched the whole movie. 】

【Pity. 】Joe said without regret at all, he put in a coin to get on the bus in London, the taxis here are not cheap, and it is a little bit of savings. [Wait...] When he was sitting by the window and could see the Thames River, an idea suddenly appeared in his mind, [Hey system - can you find some movies of the same type, I am Are you saying that future movies will be used as a reference for Gaspar? 】

[Oh! ] Gaspar, who was far away in the United States, made a voice of sudden realization, 【You are a genius, Joe.That's right, system, find me some movies of the same genre, especially those with religious fanatics and attractive villains. 】

The system issued a 'beep', [The movie clips "Joker" and "Doctor Hannibal" have been found for you, would you like to play it? 】

[Doctor Hannibal? ] Gaspar froze for a moment, 【Is that the one I thought of? 】

System: [Yes, from the classic character ogre Doctor Hannibal Lecter in the movie "The Silence of the Lambs". 】

【Yeah... yes, how could I forget him. ] Gaspar stood up and trotted to the next room. It was prepared by Hodge. There were four shelves in it, each of which was one meter taller than a normal adult. You can't find a more complete movie file than this. [Silent... T... T...here! ] Gaspar climbed the ladder and found the Silence of the Lambs CD on the top shelf of the second shelf.

"God, forgive me." Gasper put the CD on his forehead and muttered, and after the third time, he finally climbed down the ladder.

Joe frowned: 【What are you doing? 】

Gaspar: [I'm going to conduct a psychological study on the perverted murderer, of course I have to repent in advance. 】

【oh. ] Joe made an indifferent voice, 【Okay then, when will you finish your research and talk to me. 】

【I will. ] Gaspar said confidently, 【When I figure out the killer of the Seven Deadly Sins and prepare to throw a party for it, I will remember to call you. 】

Two hours later—

Joe was already sitting on the couch in the room, picking his teeth with a toothpick, and he had already eaten dinner, and Gaspar was still babbling on their instant phone connection, sometimes confused and disappointed frustrated.The system regained its new function, and it turned into a small white ball of light floating beside Joe, just like the futuristic speaker in their New York office, only a little more elastic than that, like a snow-white glutinous rice dumpling .

Gaspar was sitting in front of his desk, with messy materials and a lot of analysis written by him in front of him. The sound of the pen nib rubbing against the paper came, and Gaspar said: [This doesn't make sense at all! 】

[Hmm,] Qiao said perfunctorily, [What doesn't make sense? 】

Gaspar inserted his five fingers into his hair and said: 【I watched the movie and the novel. Hannibal is a person with a very high IQ, extremely calm and a strong desire to control. In his opinion, killing and eating people They are two different things. Those who are killed are human beings, but those who are eaten are equivalent to livestock. Those who are guilty can become his delicacy. At the same time, he also wants to wash away the fact that he ate his sister unconsciously through such behavior. He does not regard himself as an ogre, he regards himself as God... How can such a person be the same type as the person who kills people according to the seven deadly sins of the Bible? 】

Joe looked at the floating system. There were two white dots on the glutinous rice dumpling, let's count them as its eyes. Joe rolled his eyes at it and mouthed to it—'You tell him why. '

System: [...because...]

Before the system finished speaking, Gaspar started talking to himself.

He said as if he understood bit by bit based on his own words: 【...planned for so long, just to kill seven people, you bastard also thinks you are holy, right, criminals are rampant in the chaotic world, you have to give People are a wake-up call, you have to use the facts to dissect the crime and show it to people... You are not enjoying the process of killing people, you are enjoying people's horrified awakening after they know the crimes in this world and the bad guys are punished... What I killed was not Innocent people, all I kill are guilty people!Those are the people who make the world so dirty!I am not committing a crime, I am saving people, I am the sharpest weapon inserted into the world by God... I am also guilty, and I will be judged at the end, after I have completed my mission...]

As he spoke, Gasper's address changed from "you" to "I". Joe was stunned by Gasper's words that were close to self-analysis.

Gasper's face was still warm after the carnival, "I think I have found the feeling." He said.

———————————————————————————————————————————————— ————

in the audition room

Detective Mills, who has been identified, is smoking a cigarette and talking to the assistant, not so much chatting as complaining.

"I really don't understand how he got this spot," Brad Pitt said with his usual aggressiveness and arrogance. How is he going to play a heinous serial murderer?"

The assistant on the side smiled obsequiously: "He's not the material, everyone knows that." He helped Pete hold the coat and everything else, "It's nothing more than the capital fortressed here, he won't be the final choice."

Pete sneered, "If he is selected, then this movie will not be good." This is a movie that is enough to become a classic, and Pete can guarantee that people will still talk about the ending of this movie 20 years later , that was the climax part of the whole movie, and he absolutely did not allow a kid with capital support and no acting skills to appear in that half hour.

"Yes, the casting director and the director thought so too, so they were going to give him a difficult problem and let him back out." The assistant said, "You'll see it, sir."

"It's still up to you." Pete glanced at the assistant, then threw the cigarette butt on the ground and stamped it out, "There is no need to make things difficult for him, I only need half of my acting skills to let him know how far he is from this movie. .”

……

Pete opened the door and walked into the room. He was dressed in a police detective's costume, and looked at the boy in front of him with scrutiny. to his familiarity.Pete's heart sank, and the acumen brought about by his acting career told him that it was not that simple.

"What'sup." Pete raised his chin and greeted director David Fincher, "Another audition." He walked past Gaspar, and then patted him on the shoulder meaningfully.

"Hey Pete," Finch waved him, "Thank you." Then he looked at Gaspar, "Come on, let me see your interpretation of the existing script, now you are the murderer —try to piss him off."

Gasper nodded, then stood up from his chair, and he turned to Pete, who was playing opposite him, "Would you mind getting a gun?"

A gun, of course, Pete nodded, and pulled the model from his waistband.It's not the first time he's been asked to pull out a gun, so auditions like this are nothing new.

"Thank you," Gaspar said. "Now—" His voice began to change, becoming low and slow. "Please put the gun to my head and don't move away. Where am I, your gun Where are you going, is this ok?"

Pete nodded again, he didn't even bother to answer with words, as he said, nothing new.

Then two seconds later, Pete and everyone in the origami room will regret and be ashamed of what they thought.

I saw Gaspar lowered his head to hide his expression in the darkness, then put his hands behind his back and crossed his fingers to simulate the arrest situation, and then he slowly knelt down in the direction of Pete.

At that moment, the whole house fell silent.

Not even the sound of cloth rubbing.

Pete's heart beat faster and faster, he looked at the top of Gaspar's black head, as if he felt his lungs being squeezed invisible, he didn't want to see that face, he didn't know why, he just felt that the air was frozen.

When Gaspar looked up, it was no longer Gaspar the actor.

Gaspar knelt on the ground with his hands tied behind his back, and he needed to raise his head to look up at Pete even to speak, but his aura made Pete feel that he was the one who was pushed to kneel on the ground.

Pete watched Gasper's lips open and shut, but didn't hear anything, not a single punctuation mark of the lines Gasper had made up himself.

No, he heard it.

He heard the words that made his hair stand on end—

"You're only alive now because—I need you to be alive."
