The Best Director

Chapter 39: For this dream

"Hi, sir." On the corridor of the hotel, leaned against a beautiful blonde girl by the wall. Her lips were smeared with bright red lipstick, black eyeshadow, and the voice said lazily: "Do you need service?"

Wang Yang glanced at her, and under the shiny tights and short skirts, black stockings, the hot figure with her bulging forward was fully revealed, he smiled and shook his head: "No, thank you." He did not walk Stopped and walked to the front, came to his room, and while holding the key in his pocket, glanced at the blonde in the distance. Her eyes were lonely and unhappy. Maybe she came to New York not long ago. At that time, she was still a person full of enthusiasm and full of hope for the future, but with the blow of reality, she could n’t support her. She didn't want to go home, so she became a call girl ...

He looked at the blonde and sighed in his heart. He thought of it all because he suddenly remembered the girl named Annie ...

The blonde over there saw him looking at him dreamily, and a ridiculous smile suddenly appeared on his face, making a hinted gesture, saying: "Sir, do you want it?"

"No thanks," Wang Yang shook his head again and said with a smile, he quickly opened the door of the room, walked in, and exhaled.

After taking a comfortable hot bath, Wang Yang in pajamas came to the laptop at the work desk. He logged in to the company's mailbox and found that he had received replies from several New York brokers. He opened it with interest. Check it out.

The recommended candidates for these replies include not only actors but also some models. Wang Yang turned over to look at the photos and muttered a bit dullly under his chin: "No ... not handsome enough ... not enough sunshine ..." The pictures on the screen kept changing. He suddenly froze and turned the photo upside down. Go back a few photos and look at a handsome guy on the screen, said in surprise: "Oh my god! This guy looks great!"

He looked up the details of this handsome guy with great interest. Tom Willing, born on April 26, 1977, is now 21 years old, 191cm tall, and was a member of the school football team in high school. After high school, Tom Willing Instead of going to college, he chose to work in a construction company, but soon he switched to modeling, hoping to become an actor.

Tom Willing in the photo, tall and tough, with a very powerful muscle, a sharp face, two straight eyebrows, and light green eyes, eyes psychedelic and deep, laughing At that time, the temperament was very sunny, and it was the kind of handsome sportsman!

"Great." Wang Yang couldn't help but shouted, he was almost sure that it was this Tom Willing! He repeatedly looked at several pictures of this handsome guy. The more he looked at the more certain, the appearance of Tom Willing was too suitable for him. He was the one who found him in Los Angeles and New York and met his requirements best.

After searching for so long, he finally got something. Wang Yang could n’t wait. He searched in his head. There was actually a comedy movie called "Children and a Basket" with Tom Willing, and a TV series "Superman Prequel" ", He played the leading role in it. Wang Yang played the movie and watched Tom Willing's lens and acting skills, which were quite good.

However, Tom Willing is just a small and famous model. He has not performed in any film or TV, so his current acting skills need to be checked during the interview.

After watching for a while, Wang Yang picked up his phone and called Tom Willing's agent Larry Johnson, and the phone was quickly connected. He smiled and said, "Hello, Mr. Johnson, this is Wang Yang ... … Yes, Tom's appearance is very suitable for the protagonist of "High School Musical" ... "Larry Johnson is very excited, he seems to be more anxious than Wang Yang, and immediately said that Tom is free to interview tomorrow.

So, they soon made an appointment for the time and place of the interview, a cafe at ten o'clock tomorrow morning.

The candidate for the leading role seems to have landed. Wang Yang couldn't help but have a dim sum of flowers. He sang songs and danced to the balcony casually, looking at the street scene outside, and laughed haha.

Although the sky was dark, the street lights brought light. Wang Yang lived on a floor that was not high. He could almost see the way of pedestrians on the street. He leaned on the railing of the balcony and looked at the street below, but he was a bit confused. Frowned. There was a blond man in a big trench coat hovering in the street below. He sat on a bench on the street for a while, and then looked up at the hotel again. His posture with his hands in the trench coat was familiar ...

"Michael Pitt?" Wang Yang could not help but asked to himself, he looked down at his head and glared his eyes, wanting to see clearly, but the blond man went away again. Wang Yang shook his head a little funny, maybe it was an illusion, Michael Pitt should be in New York University, how could it be under this hotel on Park Avenue? Think too much!

At this time, the cell phone in the room rang, and Wang Yang looked at the blond man who was walking farther and farther. Then he walked back to the room and picked up the cell phone on the desktop. He switched on smilingly and said, "Hi , Jessica? "Jessica's voice came over, only to hear her laugh:" Hi, Yang, are you okay in New York? "Wang Yang sat by the bed and smiled," Oh, yes! I went to many tourist attractions, you know, the Statue of Liberty, Times Square ... Yes, it ’s beautiful, but I prefer Los Angeles, why? The air here seems to urge you in your ears, hurry up, hurry up 'Suck', so if you don't hurry, you will feel suffocated ... "

Jessica suddenly laughed, Wang Yang finished talking about herself, and then asked with a smile: "How about you, how is the singing class? Is Ms. Robert stern?" Jessica seemed to come in spirit and preached happily: "Ms. Robert is a very good person. She is very patient and teaches very well. We will now learn how to control the breath first, and do some training to improve lung capacity ..."

"Hmm ... oh ... that's good." Wang Yang listened to her nonstop talking about training, what she and Rachel were praised for their talents, what Zachari stepped on a dance mat ... waiting for her After a pause, Wang Yang had the opportunity to say what he wanted to say very early, and he said excitedly: "Hey, Jessica, I think I have found your other half."

Jessica was stunned over there, the voice was very light and said: "What do you mean?" Wang Yang smiled at the phone: "The candidate of Troy Burton, a very handsome handsome man, his appearance is very good, although Interview tomorrow, but I think it's him. "Jessica" Oh "suddenly, suddenly said like a joke and more genuinely:" Jan, that is the other half of Gabriela, not mine. "

"Sorry, my mistake." Wang Yang also felt that the previous sentence was a bit stupid. Jessica was suddenly silent over there. The atmosphere was a bit embarrassing. At this time, the door was knocked, and Wang Yang walked over. He said to the phone: "Wait a minute, Jessica." He walked over and opened the door, and he was stunned for a moment. I saw the gorgeous hot blonde standing outside the door, holding the full chest with his left hand. A lit cigarette was carried in the right hand.

Wang Yang held the phone's case, looked at the blonde, and said seriously: "Madam, I don't need any service."

"I know." The blonde smiled and handed something in her left hand, saying, "You dropped this."

Saw that she had a brown wallet in his hand, which was his. Wang Yang couldn't help but lost his voice in surprise: "Oh my god!" It must have been watching the blonde girl just now when she took out the key, and she didn't notice when the wallet fell out. He took the wallet gratefully and said, "Thank you, thank you very much." The money in the wallet is second, but there are some important things such as certificates. If you lose it, it will cause a lot of trouble.

"Let's check it." The blonde took a breath of smoke, sprayed a circle of mist, shrugged: "I opened it and looked at it, but I didn't take anything away."

It has been a long time since he walked into the room. The blonde should have seen the wallet as soon as she dropped it. At first, she might have thought about it for herself, but in the end she decided to return the wallet. Will she take anything? Wang Yang shook his head with a smile: "No need to check." The blonde said impatiently: "Let you check it."

"OK, OK." Wang Yang opened his wallet and looked at it. The money and certificates were all there, and there was nothing. He said, "No problem."

The blonde nodded and said "Bye", then turned around and walked away on catwalk. The black high-heeled shoes stepped on the floor and made a "stepping" sound.

Wang Yang looked at her lonely back, smelled the faint perfume and smoke in the air, sighed in her heart, and said quietly, "Bye."

"Jessica, are you still there?" Wang Yang picked up the phone again and put it in his ear, and immediately heard Jessica's doubts and said: "Yang, I seem to hear the voice of a girl, right?"

Damn mobile phone microphone, the sensitivity is really high! Wang Yang walked into the room and said honestly: "I think so, uh ... Jessica, my wallet fell on the corridor. A call girl picked it up, and she came back to me just now." Jessica suddenly startled: "Call girl !?" Wang Yang explained: "No, don't get me wrong, she just came to return her wallet!"

Hearing such a hurried explanation, Jessica smiled softly and seemed to be very satisfied. She said with a smile: "Yang, you can say that she is a waiter, why should you tell me that she is a call girl?"

"Why say a call girl?" Wang Yang repeated Jessica's question with a strange expression on his face, and slowly silently said, "Maybe I just want to tell the truth; maybe she is a call girl."

※※

The next day, Wang Yang got up early in the morning, practiced boxing and sports, sweated a lot, ate breakfast, and played with the computer for a while. When it was almost time, he walked out of the hotel to pick up the car in the parking lot. Ready to go to the coffee shop where Tom Willing made an appointment.

Just out of the hotel and came to the street, just a few steps away, I suddenly heard someone shouting behind: "Mr. Wang!" This sound made Wang Yang dumbfounded. He looked back and saw a man wearing a gray trench coat The blond man ran over, it was Michael Pete, he was still wearing yesterday's clothes, his face looked more haggard and pale, and his eyes were dark, obviously he didn't sleep well.

Wang Yang said incredulously: "Is it really you? You were here last night?" He noticed that Michael Peel's trench coat was a little wet, his hair was in a mess, and his body was a little trembling. He said in amazement: "You are not Will you be here all night? "Michael Pete nodded indifferently," Yes, but it's nothing. "

"Damn it!" Wang Yang frowned tightly and scolded. It was raining heavily in New York last night. This guy stayed on the street for one night? He asked doubtfully: "How did you find me?" Michael Pete shuddered again, and said: "Your car has the hotel name and logo on it." Wang Yang covered his forehead and saw Michael Pete's lips were all black, and he couldn't help getting angry. He asked aloud, "Michael, what's wrong with you? What are you doing like this?"

Michael Pete gritted his teeth and said seriously: "Mr. Wang, I am not malicious, I just think you should look at my performance and make a decision." After a pause, he touched his messy hair and said: "Mr. Wang , I ’m not a student at New York University, I just wander there. But before, I studied at the Academy of Cinematic Arts for a while. "The so-called Academy of Cinematic Arts is the kind of place where you can get in for a little money. .

"I guessed it." Wang Yang nodded. Michael Pete should be a young man who came to New York and is now miserable. He seems to have no place to live. Wang Yang was very helpless, because "High School Musical" did not have a character suitable for Michael Pete. He couldn't agree to it because of sympathy, otherwise everyone came to ask for a role, and he couldn't help everyone. Wang Yang said in a deep voice: "Michael, there is indeed no role. You have to change your clothes, don't be cold, go take a warm shower?" He pointed to the hotel behind him.

"No, Mr. Wang, you look at my performance first!" Michael Pete was worried. Yes, he was a rogue. He has been in New York for more than a year. At the beginning, he found a bicycle courier. Work, saving money and food, and sharing a small apartment with 9 people, barely able to maintain the cost of living, and after nearly a year of money, he also went to the Academy of Shadow Art to study for a few months, but as his job was lost, he I was sick again, not to mention continuing to study. He can't even pay his rent now. He sleeps on the street next to New York University every night, and he mixes in during the day to attend classes.

But he ca n’t hold it anymore. He is penniless now. He robbed a loaf of bread in a bakery the other day. He does n’t know what to do. He likes acting. He wants to be an actor. He is ten years old. I was thinking ...

He has watched Wang Yang's "Oprah Talk Show", and Wang Yang's success story is also one of the reasons that supports his persistence. Yesterday, when he saw Wang Yang at the New York University School of Film, he followed this only bigger than himself. The one-year-old director, who followed here from New York University, didn't know what he was doing. He was helpless and confused, as if he had caught a life-saving straw and was unwilling to let go.

Wait for Wang Yang to speak, Michael Pete performed himself, his expression constantly changing, with a happy smiling face, sweeping the decadent gas; the anger of gritting his teeth, and the expression of sadness and frustration. Wang Yang watched his performance silently without interrupting him. Michael Pete performed for a long time before stopping. He opened his **** eyes and said, "How is it, Mr. Wang?"

"Michael, the performance is good. But ..." Wang Yang felt very uncomfortable, but could only say hard: "No role."

"God ... fuck!" Michael Pete covered his face with his hands in pain, shaking his shoulders a little, panting: "Why, why is there no role !?"

Wang Yang also breathed a sigh of relief, his heart seemed to be grasped fiercely, bringing a burst of suffocation. He now rejects Michael Pete, just like the previous movie companies rejected him, he knows how uncomfortable it should be, but what can he do! ? Wang Yang gritted his teeth and said, "Sorry, Michael, I'm sorry."

"No, Mr. Wang, I understand ..." Michael Pete put his hands down and showed his red eyes. He stepped back a few steps, turned around and walked, wiped his nose, and suddenly the complexion was out of control and cried like crazy Get up: "Fuck, fuck! Fuck fuck! Fuck—" He was looking backwards, looking at Wang Yang, with tears in his eyes, crying desperately: "I won't give up! Mr. Wang! I will become An actor! I will definitely! "

Passers on the street turned their heads and looked curiously at the collapsed Michael Pete. Wang Yang clenched his fists tightly, watching Michael Pitt recede farther and farther. His heart was like being struck by a hammer. How could he be so cruel? He is a bastard! But ... fuck! He scolded, and finally could not help but shout: "Michael!"

Michael Pete shuddered, he stopped and looked at Wang Yang, what he was about to say, but suddenly he saw a policeman approaching here, and the policeman's eyes seemed to be watching him. Michael Pete panicked, and ran away in the opposite direction to the police.

"Hello, Michael! Man!" Wang Yang shouted towards the back of Michael Pete, and saw that the kid soon disappeared on the corner of the street. Has this guy committed anything! ? Wang Yang looked at the policeman and saw that the policeman was walking as usual, not paying attention to Michael Pete. Wang Yang hugged his head and sighed helplessly.

Standed in place and waited for a while. Michael Pete did not come back. Seeing that he would be late if he did not leave, Wang Yang had to quickly walk to the parking lot and take the car to the interview location.

When Wang Yang came to the coffee shop he had made, it was almost 10 o'clock, and Tom Willing and his agent Larry Johnson had already arrived. Larry Johnson saw Wang Yang who came in, stood up and beckoned to him, and said with a smile: "Mr. Wang, here." Tom Willing also stood up and nodded toward Wang Yang with a smile.

Wang Yang walked over and shook hands with them respectively. After meeting, he sat down, ordered a cup of coffee to the waiter, and looked at Tom Willing with a smile: "Wow, the muscles are great!"

Tom Willing was wearing a very tight T-shirt, which appeared that his pectoral muscles were very bulging, lining his handsome face, which made Wang Yang very satisfied. Tom Willing heard this and grinned: "Thank you." He shrugged again. "Mr. Wang, your muscles are not bad."

"Hey, call me Yang." Wang Yang smiled and began to take a serious look at Tom Willing, said: "Tom, if you can, stand up and show me?" Tom Willing nodded and stood. When he got up, Wang Yang turned his hand and said, "OK, give me a profile, turn around ..." Although I saw the image of Tom Willing in the "Children in a Basket" in my mind, it was a 03-year movie He needs to see the shot of Tom Willing, now 21 years old.

Very good, the shape is very good, the face is very angular, and the temperament is very sunny ... Wang Yang commented in his heart, and said: "Tom, give me a sunny smile as charming as possible." With his words, Tom Wei Lin showed a charming smile, some of the taste of a basketball captain, and the feeling of a big boy next door, a very sunny and pure smile. Wang Yang couldn't help but praise: "Okay!" He took the coffee from the waiter, took a sip, and smiled, "Tom, it's time to show your acting skills."

Tom Willing sat down and nodded, "OK, what do I need to do?"

So next, Wang Yang asked Tom Willing to perform several scenes to examine his acting skills. Tom Willing is currently only a costume model. Although he likes acting, he has never had any experience in acting. The acting skills are all self-taught. The acting skills are naturally not high. It is very young, but his appearance is too suitable for dressing. On the cool and smiling face, he acted as a "Troy-Burton" in his true nature.

Although the acting is very naive, but it is not a mess, it needs more patience and more film ... but more importantly, there is not even a slightly suitable candidate other than Tom ... He does not consider Tom Willing ’s singing. Ability, in fact, he did not plan to take this test before coming to New York. Anyway, it is good to have a singing foundation. If not, he will be sent for training. If he cannot, he will find someone to sing.

Thinking about this, Wang Yang looked at Tom Willing and smiled: "Tom, I think many girls will fall in love with you soon."

Hearing this sentence, Tom Willing and Larry Johnson were all pleasantly surprised. Larry Johnson smiled and extended his hand to Wang Yang, saying: "Mr. Wang, I am very glad that you gave us this opportunity." Tom Willing Also excitedly said: "Oh, Yang, thank you!" Wang Yang reached out and shook hands with Larry Johnson, the agent jokingly said: "Do you know? Jamie will kill me, I let her boyfriend It became a designer handbag. "Tom Willing suddenly smiled, the smile was like a big boy with a first love.

Seeing his expression, Wang Yang's eyes lit up. Troy Burton has many shots that need this kind of shy expression. A few shots even require a red face. Tom Willing's expression is very good now! He couldn't help but praise: "Wow, I really want to take this picture!"

Although Wang Yang was very satisfied with Tom Willing, when he left the cafe, he did not say that he would definitely choose Tom, but he is currently listed as the first choice, and he still has to read the responses from the New York branch of the Actors Union and several other agencies. Only then will the final decision be made, but 8 out of 10 will be Tom Willing. He is suitable in all aspects, including the pay.

After the interview, Wang Yang went to some places to visit. Until the night came, he drove back to the hotel.

Like yesterday's track, he took a warm-up bath, came to the balcony to look at the street scene outside, and then he saw the familiar figure, the figure with his hands tucked in the trench coat and wandering on the street.

"Fuck!" When he saw the figure, Wang Yang was relieved and scolded again, so he quickly walked back to the room to change his clothes and ran down the hotel.

Soon, Wang Yang came to the street outside. While running towards the long chair not far in front, he shouted to the blonde man on the chair: "Michael, are you ?!"

Michael Pete, who was sitting on the chair, turned his head and looked, seeing Wang Yang, he stood up, struggling and dazed. His gaunt face looked like a man who was about to die.

"Michael." Wang Yang slowed down and walked to Michael Pete, frowning: "Are you going to spend the night here again?" Michael Pete didn't speak, and Wang Yang's brow furrowed tighter: "You have eaten Is it dinner? "

Michael Pete's lips moved, took out the crumpled pack of cigarettes, he couldn't smoke one for a long time, put it back in his pocket, shook his head and said: "Mr. Wang, I'm fine, you don't need to control me . "

"You told me not to care about you?" Wang Yang had a funny face, and suddenly flicked his fist at Michael Pete, scolding angrily: "You let me watch you starve in the rain? Damn, then you are in me immediately Disappeared in front of you! Do n’t mess with me! ”Wang Yang sighed again, looking at the pale Michael-Pitt, and said warmly:“ Come with me, the weather forecast says it will rain tonight. ”

Walked a few steps towards the hotel door, but hesitant to see Michael Pete standing still, Wang Yang beckoned to him and shouted, "Come on! I'm not gay, rest assured!"

Michael Pete smiled and followed Wang Yang into the hotel. Back in the room, he took a hot bath and put on Wang Yang's suit. At this time, he gorged on a plate of food and swallowed the blocked food in the esophagus from time to time.

"Dude, eat slowly." Wang Yang sat aside and looked at Michael Pete as hungry, and knew that this guy must have been hungry for a few days. Suddenly he moved, and searched for the name "Michael Pitt" in the movie and TV library in his mind. There was no movie to show, and there was no relevant information. Of course, he knows that the movie library in his mind does not own all the movies. For example, there is no documentary, and only the historical celebrities in the biographical film. Maybe he just didn't have Michael Pitt's work in his mind.

Wang Yang exhaled a breath, remembered the matter in the morning, and asked, "Michael, what are you so afraid of the police? What have you done?"

"Oh." Michael Pete stopped eating immediately and said with embarrassment: "I was so hungry the other day, I grabbed a loaf of bread in a bakery ..."

Grab the bread! ? Wang Yang smiled, but felt uncomfortable in his heart. He understood the bitterness. When he had only a few tens of dollars in his pocket, he was half full every day. He understood the hunger. He knew that Michael Pete was talking lightly now, but at the time, this guy must have been very painful. He had no choice but to grab bread.

Wang Yang got up and patted Michael Pitt on the shoulder, comfortingly said: "Man, don't worry. I think the owner of the bakery didn't call the police. In the morning, the police didn't pay attention to you. He just passed by."

"Really !?" Seeing Wang Yang nodded, Michael Pete exhaled for a long time, and his whole body was relaxed. He closed his eyes and sighed: "Oh, thank God!" Then, he continued to sweep again The food on the dinner plate was ambiguously said: "For this matter, I am worried every day. When I see the police on the street, I think they are coming to me. I do n’t want to go to jail. I ’m going crazy. "He swallowed the food in his mouth and laughed and praised:" Damn, it's delicious! "

From yesterday to the present, Wang Yang was the first time he heard his tone so relaxed. He said so much at once, and it seemed that he had put down a big heart. Grab bread? The taste in Wang Yang's heart was unspeakable. Looking at Michael Pete, he suddenly remembered Anne, the blonde girl yesterday, and himself. Why should this be? He leaned against the wall and suddenly asked: "Michael, why don't you go home? I mean, go home, with a warm bed and delicious food made by mom, why don't you go back?" He shrugged again and smiled: "Don't tell me, you are an orphan."

"No, I have three brothers." Michael Pete raised his head, holding half of the leftover burger in his hand, and said strangely: "Isn't that what you told me? You said on the Oprah talk show" At that time, you asked yourself again, is your dream still there? What do you want to do? You said you wanted to make a movie, and I said I wanted to be an actor. So I sleep on the street now, and I will not give up. "

"Oh, did I say that?" Wang Yang frowned and smiled again: "Yes, I said that. So, I made you sleep on the street?"

Michael Pete also laughed a few times, slowly becoming expressionless, and suddenly said seriously: "Why should I go home? When I was ten years old, I made up my mind to be an actor, UU reading www.uukanshu. com I came to New York, I rely on my own efforts to study art school, everything is getting better! I am moving towards my goal, I just miss a chance, why should I go home? "

"Yes, why should I go home?" Wang Yang smiled. He is now very happy and happy. This is because he touched what he was always looking for. If he gave up at the beginning, he went home and got I got a warm bed and got delicious food, but did I really get it? His soul will always be cold and hungry all the time, because he has lost the thing that the soul relies on. He said softly, "For the sake of dreams, isn't it?"

Michael Pete nodded silently and said, "For the dream."

The room was quiet for a while. Wang Yang held his hand to his chin and looked at Michael Pete ’s haggard face. He suddenly said: "Hey, Michael, there is really no role for you in" High School Musical ", but my crew needs field work. , And I suddenly wanted to add a small character, quite suitable for you, there are a few seconds of close-up shots, there is a line, come? "

Michael Pete looked up at him and said lightly: "Is this sympathy?"

"No." Wang Yang shook his head with a sincere smile and said, "It's not sympathy, just a little help for those who pursue dreams." He can't help everyone, but he can help this, which is within his power. thing. He smiled again: "Everything is for dreams. Then come?"

Michael Pete's eyes flicked and looked at Wang Yang for a long time. Suddenly he bit the hamburger in his hand. A bright smile appeared on the haggard face. The voice shivered and said: "Come!"
