[US Entertainment] Wild Child

Summer has already spoken, "Celebrate? Would you like ice cream to celebrate? Kiddo."

Toby looked at her and smiled.

Leonardo, who was despised for no reason, was a little hurt, "Otherwise? You are only 8 years old, and you are the real kiddo. Do you dare to do what we can do?"

Summer replied very simply: "Don't dare! I have to go, see you next time."

Leonardo's so-called "things they can do" are nothing more than secretly hiding in the men's bathroom and smoking.

Toby was also sent by his mother. The two teenagers squeezed into the same grid and smoked. Summer stood on the toilet lid and stuck his head out from the partition, "Hey!"

Toby was startled, flustered, and threw the cigarette down the toilet.

Leonardo was quite calm, and took out the cigarette case, "Do you want one too?"

Summer shook his head, "If you smell of cigarettes, you can still tell your mother that the uncles who are auditioning all smoke, but how can you explain the smell of cigarettes in your mouth?"

Leonardo took out a pack of gum, "Use this."

Summer smiled: It seems that he is a repeat offender. "Give me a slice."

He also threw the cigarette in the toilet, pressed the button, and flushed it away.Open the door and go out of the grid.

Summer jumped off the toilet and pushed open the door.

Leonardo handed her a piece of gum, "Do you like candy? I can bring you some other candy next time."

Samo gave him a white look, "I'm not a real kiddo."

"do not you?"

Toby also took a piece of gum and popped it into his mouth.

The three children are all newcomers. Leonardo has a little more acting experience. Toby just entered the industry this year and has only appeared in a few commercials before; Summer has filmed several commercials and a test screening set.

On this day, the three of them encountered a strong rival: the well-known child star Lucas Haas skipped the previous rounds of auditions and came directly to the audition.He had worked with Harrison Ford on "Witness" before, and Lucas' mother and agent accompanied him, so he signed the contract immediately.

Lucas was the last to come, but he was the first to go in for the audition, and he didn't say a word to their three children from the beginning to the end.

When he left the audition room, the manager and his mother entered.

At this time, the three children knew that there was nothing wrong with them.Summer performed the best. He asked his assistant if he could leave. After getting an affirmative answer, he bid farewell to Leonardo and Toby.

"I hope to have the opportunity to see you again in the future."

Toby nodded, "See you next time."

Leonardo said: "I hope you can go to my school."

On the way home, Suzanne took her to an ice cream parlor and bought her two scoops of ice cream.

She has a dedicated folder to record the failed auditions. This folder is already very thick, and there are not many papers in the other folder that records the number of successful auditions. She is worried that Summer will be hit and lose confidence.

She asked carefully, "Are you sad?"

"A little bit, but not too sad."

"Are you jealous of him? That—Lucas."

"No, he was famous early in the industry. It's normal for the crew to choose him. When I become famous in the future, no matter which crew will consider choosing me first." She raised her face, full of confidence, "When the time comes, I will pick them , rather than them picking on me."

Susannah felt a little relieved.

"Irene also said that it's normal to fail the auditions in the first few years. I should seize all opportunities. As long as I can sign a contract, I will act in anything. When I become a 'KidStar', I don't have to worry about not being able to find a job. "

Susannah laughed: My daughter is really naive, but she is still at an age where she can be honest, so there is no problem in keeping it like this.

School will be out soon.

May to July can be regarded as a holiday for Hollywood actors: the episodes of last fall season have been filmed, and the episodes of this fall season have not yet started filming.The competition among various TV stations is fierce. Whether the subscription can be renewed mainly depends on the ratings. If the ratings are not ideal, but the main actors have their own traffic, they can still support it; there are no dramas with big-name stars to carry the traffic, life and death depend on it Will the next season be renewed in May and June.

During this period of time, there were no auditions for dramas, but there were more auditions for movies.Suzanne took Summer to almost all the auditions that meet the age requirements, and of course they also met Toby, Leonardo, and Lucas during the period.

Lucas Haas's mother, Emily Tracy, is a Hollywood practitioner. She has written some scripts and occasionally made guest appearances to make soy sauce. It is also near water for her son to become a child actor.Lucas had just turned thirteen, had just hit puberty, and hadn't started to jerk, and his voice hadn't changed.

He didn't remember the last time he'd seen Summer, and he still didn't talk much to the other kids, but one time when the two of them took the elevator upstairs together, Lucas gave her a lollipop and asked her name.

"Sam, Sam Brooke."

"Lucas Haas." Lucas smiled shyly.

Suzanne has already started talking with Emily, of course, starting with praising Lucas, there is no mother in the world who does not like to hear others praise their children.Emily also said that Samo didn't look like an 8 and a half-year-old child, she was very cute and cute.

Emily was worried that Lucas would be difficult to find a job after he reached adolescence, or that he would suddenly grow taller, making him no longer suitable for acting as a child, but he was not mature enough to play a youth, which would be a bit embarrassing.There are many child actors who are crooked and disabled in adolescence, and even a great child actor like Shirley Temple, who is loved by thousands of people, has not escaped the "adolescence nightmare".

Suzanne felt that it was too early for Summer to consider this issue, so she didn't pay much attention to it. After all, her problem now was that she didn't have enough acting experience.

By June, Emily introduced Summer to the filming of a music video, Hanging out with Lucas.

Another sheet added to Summer's casting resume.

Toby got a role in a children's movie with only 3 lines. When the movie was finally released, he just cut his face a few times and lost a single line.

Leonardo landed a cameo role in a remake of "Lacy the Dog," his first serious acting job, and he's delighted.

One day at the end of June, Toby solemnly called to invite Summer and Leonardo to his 6th birthday party.

Suzanne drove her there, telling her to be careful not to be seen as a girl.Sam nodded.

She was wearing a sailor jacket, blue shorts, and black leather shoes with laces. She looked like a child from a wealthy family.

Toby came to open the door for her, and hugged her shoulder affectionately, "Come in quickly, they are all here, just waiting for you."

The teenager’s birthday party is quite pure. There is a bouncy castle in the yard for the younger children to play; the hobbies of Toby’s peers are just Coke, pizza, potato chips, video games, etc. No alcoholic beverages, Toby’s mother Make sure that the wine cabinet is locked before leaving the house, and delegate the authority to Toby.

Toby pulled Summer in, and gave her a handful of candies first, "This almond candy is delicious."

Leonardo shouted: "Don't give him candy, maybe his mother won't let him eat more candy."

Several children laughed.

Summer threw the candy in his hand and hit him, and he yelled.

The half-grown children were all crazy, and immediately rolled together, and other children joined in, yelling, chasing and fighting each other.

Toby tried his best to keep Summer behind him, "Don't bully him."

Leonardo made a grimace, "Okay, don't bully him." He suddenly sat on the sofa, patted the seat beside him, "Sam, come here."

Toby pointed at him, and then pulled out Summer behind him and let her sit there. "I'll get you a drink, what do you like to drink? Juice? Or Coke?"

"Beer," said another kid.

"Don't be kidding, unless you don't want to come next time." Toby said seriously.Beer is an alcoholic beverage, so don't have beer at a birthday party, or Mom and Dad will be mad.

So the children's choices are only juice and coke, and younger children can also choose milk.

Summer asked for juice, and Toby brought her a glass of orange juice, "Mom is drinking mixed juice recently, orange juice, tomato juice and apple juice, I think it's pretty good."

Summer took a small sip, and it was quite good, sweet and sour.

Several older children started discussing what games were fun. After listening for a while, Summer felt bored and automatically blocked them.

Leonardo and Toby When it comes to new comic books, um, there is nothing unusual about boys' common interests.

The children in the backyard were probably fighting and crying. I don't know whose mother was comforting the child.Summer walked to the corridor by the back door and watched for a while.

"Why don't you go play?" Leonardo stood behind her and pointed at the bouncy castle.

Samo shook his head.

"Yes, they are all children, you are no longer." He peeled off a candy and stuffed it into his mouth.He peeled off another candy and stuffed it into her mouth.

She chewed on the candy and said vaguely, "I'm not a child."

In the following July and August, the number of auditions Samo participated in was greatly reduced. The reason was that Dennis felt that she had failed too many times in the past six months.So I took her out on vacation every weekend, going to an amusement park, going out to sea on a yacht for two days and so on.

Susanna is busy looking around for houses. It is not easy to find a community where the location, price, and safety factor meet her psychological expectations. She looks at houses almost two days a week, one day to send Summer to an audition, and two days on weekends to give herself There are only two days for hair, nail care, and shopping, and sometimes I have to accompany my husband to attend banquets, and I am still very busy.
