Birth of an actor

"Jasper Bloom." William couldn't help but feel a bit of disgust in his tone.

Although the other party has undergone considerable changes over the past few years, for example, he has become taller and stronger, and his facial features have also undergone obvious changes, but when the nickname "Scarlett" came out, William immediately remembered who the other party was, because Only that person would call him "Scarlett" in a meaningfully obnoxious tone upon meeting him.

Jasper Bloom, once the deputy head of the drama club at Calgate School, was four years older than William and Lance, and his father was a member of Congress, so it was inevitable that Jasper Bloom was also like many The son of a politician is also infected with the bad habits of greed, hypocrisy and treachery. When he was at Calgate School, William often heard bad rumors about Jasper Bloom, and those stories were full of marijuana. Alcohol and messy relationships between men and women.

In fact, except for occasional drama club activities, William and Jasper Bloom, who are four grades apart, should not often meet each other in Calgate School, but unfortunately, Jasper Bloom Ruhm just hangs around in front of William often, especially in the stadium after school. Those who deliberately squeeze others with their height during the game are simply too bad. After ", Jasper Bloom often shouted "Scarlett" when he saw William, lest other people would not hear or associate William with Scarlett.

These typical bullying dramas of boys in the manic period of youth are not bad. Although they were only teenagers at the time, William was not a real teenager after all, and he didn't take these campus bullying that has not yet been upgraded to harm to his heart. , but Lance seems to hate Jasper Bloom, and will frown when the name is mentioned-William, who knows his friend well, knows that Lance rarely shows his emotions. If you hate someone, it means that there must be something wrong with that person behind the scenes, so as time goes by, William will stay away from Jasper Bloom even more. In addition, he later changed schools and became an actor. Bloom suddenly appeared in front of William, and he probably almost forgot that he had such an old school friend.

"Why, I'm so sad to see the senior with such a disgusted expression, dear Will."

While talking sad, Jasper Bloom actually stuck out his tongue and licked his lips. William felt uncomfortable all over: "It seems that our relationship is not familiar enough to call each other by name, Mr. Bloom .”

Jasper Bloom shrugged indifferently, and looked up and down William with great interest.

William noticed several white birds embroidered on the other party's bow tie: "Are you also a member of the Phoenix Club?"

"Actually, I am the current chairman." Jasper Bloom lifted his chin slightly proudly, and pretended to straighten the decorative bow tie.

"Oh," said William.

"There is only one 'oh'? Do you know how many Harvard students are willing to kneel and lick me in order to get a membership qualification?" Jasper Bloom directly put his dissatisfaction on his face: "It seems that I am your senior's For the sake of it, if you make me happy, maybe I can give you the green light to join the club."

"Thank you, cute Prince Bloom." William frowned, brushed Jasper Bloom's shoulder, and walked towards the door behind him: "But I'm completely not interested in Phoenix now."

"Not interested in your dead daddy's trophy?" Jasper Bloom said suddenly, as William reached for the door.

William turned around immediately: "Do you know my father?"

"Edwin Bradley, one of the countless cowards on Wall Street who committed suicide by jumping off a building, I've never been interested in such a man, but if he is your father, Will, it will be very different. I still remember the pitiful look of you walking alone on the campus when your father just died, tsk tsk." Jasper Bloom said: "It's just that I never thought that he would become As the president of Phoenix, I was shocked when I found Edwin Bradley’s name in this collection room for the first time. To be honest, as the current president of Phoenix, I feel a little uncomfortable. good."

William turned to look at Jasper Bloom, his chest heaved violently a few times and his fists were clenched, but he said in a very calm tone: "I saw the photo of my father winning the prize in this room, But no trophy was found."

Jasper Bloom stared fascinatedly at the tight shirt on William's chest for a while, then licked his lower lip before saying, "Those trophies? God knows what basement they're lying in and eating ashes."

"So, the trophy that my father once won is gone, and this has something to do with you?"

"The name Edwin Bradley has a disgraceful history. As the current president, I don't think his trophy is still eligible to be kept in the honor collection. Other members of the club agree with me very much. I Almost all of them passed the proposal." Jasper Bloom said with a bit of malice: "The status of a big Hollywood star may make those students who come from ordinary backgrounds admire you, but in the end Club, your fame is of no use to us other than being a courtesan. Don't you think you're an Oscar-nominated movie star? We're going to take Edwin Bradley for your sake. Upvote too? Ah, unless you take my place, poor little Will."

"Why did you become the president of the Phoenix Club?" William sneered, "Is it because of your 2.0 GPA? Or your congressman father?"

Jasper Bloom's face suddenly became gloomy: "Perhaps I will propose a major cleaning of the basement at tomorrow's club meeting, throwing away all unnecessary things, especially those heavy and ugly metal products."

"Oh, is it? Then I can also report to the school that someone deliberately discarded public historical items." William said coldly: "By the way, I can let the whole Harvard see how far Phoenix, one of the ultimate clubs, has fallen. To actually let someone like you be the president."

"Do you think I'm afraid of your little threat?" Jasper Bloom caught a glimpse of William's tightly clenched fists, and suddenly laughed triumphantly: "You want to hit me? I see through your anger , Will!"

William let out a breath slowly: "As I said, Jasper Bloom, don't call me by my first name."

"Otherwise? Are you really going to hit me? Ha, don't think I don't know, Little William, you're a public figure, a big-name Hollywood celebrity, a movie star who makes headlines a lot, what do you think of the headline— "Hollywood Icon Will Beats Innocent Alumnus" or "Oscar Nominee Gets Dropped From Harvard"?"

"Sounds good." William said calmly, locked the door from the inside, and walked slowly towards Jasper Bloom.

Jasper Bloom didn't realize anything was wrong, he laughed arrogantly: "Why don't you beg me, beg me, I won't find a tabloid reporter to expose you, maybe I will show mercy and let you Go find it in the basement—ahhhhhhh!"

Jasper Bloom's mouth was covered, he was punched heavily in the stomach, and there was a terrible "whoosh" sound from his throat. When William let him go, he curled up on the ground like a prawn, His whole face was flushed red, and his forehead was dripping with cold sweat because of the severe pain.

He raised his head from the ground and glared at William angrily, "Fuck you—" just halfway through the two words, the whole person was unable to make a sound again, because William had already used his mouth to untie himself from his own clothes. The bow tie that came down was tightly wrapped.

"Fuck me? Really? Just use your bearish look, Bloom."

After being restrained by William, Jasper Bloom's expression gradually became angry and terrified, and he seemed to be saying a very obvious sentence in his round eyes: "If you dare to hit me, I won't let you go, and neither will my father!"

"What a nice room, the walls are so thick, and the sound insulation performance is excellent." William loosened the collar of his shirt, took off the cufflinks and put them in his trouser pockets. Said: "When the group of members below who are busy flirting with the beauties at the party find you, you will only see the president of the Phoenix Club hiding miserably in the corner of the room without even wearing underwear—"

William grabbed Jasper Bloom by the hair and punched Jasper Bloom hard on the jaw: "Who will see me beat you? No one."

"Yeah, uh, uh, uh!"

……

"Did someone beat you up, Will?" Barbara Wilson, a publicist, frowned and looked at William in the makeup mirror. She simply walked over and asked the makeup artist to stop for a while, holding William's face for a closer look. : "Although it's not obvious anymore, the bruise on the cheekbone definitely shows that you were treated very violently by someone not long ago, and it was a man. Tell me, which bastard dared to waste everything? Slap such a pretty face?"

"It's nothing, it was just a small conflict, and it has been resolved." William said with a grin.Fortunately, before Barbara Wilson came in, the makeup artist had already covered up a little scratch on the corner of his mouth, otherwise, his publicist would have to guess which woman bit him?

"I heard from Danny that "The Truman Show" has been closed for a while, so it must not be an injury during the filming of the crew, and you have been staying at Harvard recently to be a good student and have no new filming." Barbara Wilson stared at William speculatively: "Could it be that you snatched other people's girlfriends at Harvard, or dated too many girls, so you were beaten?"

"Barbara, your imagination is too rich." William said dumbfoundedly: "If I had a girlfriend, wouldn't I tell you? Without you standing in front of the media reporters for me, I would have been killed by them drowned."

A golden publicist like Barbara Wilson is really useful, and sometimes she is even omnipotent. She almost contracted all of William’s image projects. For example, tonight’s Golden Globe Awards Ceremony is at the Hilton Hotel in Los Angeles It was held, and Barbara Wilson simply found a room for William in the hotel to wait for makeup. Another example is the Oscar Awards Ceremony that is only a few days later. To a large suite (Leonardo DiCaprio's publicist didn't even get a single standard room in this hotel) until after the Oscars, and then to Hollywood, which rarely takes orders One of the most famous makeup artists personally came to serve, and finally borrowed Hermès' advanced custom red carpet dress for William.

In the star-studded Hollywood, not even the popular A-list can get such treatment, but William is not an A-list, but he has already enjoyed everything in advance, all because he has a good publicist who can walk across most of Hollywood.

"You should be thankful that I am accompanying you to the Golden Globe Awards ceremony today, not the guy who makes a fuss about losing a hair in Amon. If it was him, he would definitely ask a private investigator to go to Harvard to investigate clearly. .”

"Yeah, thanks to you, Barbara." William blinked and begged, "So please, don't tell Ami?"

PuppyEyes is too powerful, Barbara Wilson took a step back and covered her chest: "Okay, okay, I promise you! Move your head away quickly, or I will uncontrollably pounce on you and press your little head hard chest!"

Even more exaggerated than Barbara Wilson's performance is the makeup artist, who now looks like she is about to pass out.

Barbara Wilson took a deep breath: "I promised to hide the injury on your face from Amon because I believe that you will not encounter any danger or get into any big trouble at Harvard. Now, Will, frankly Tell me, is everything all right?"

It’s actually not so good, really, William did get revenge, but it wasn’t because he picked up someone else’s girlfriend—this matter is easier to solve—but because he messed with one of Harvard’s eight ultimate clubs. One Phoenix.

Beating people up is fun for a while, but the subsequent troubles are endless.William beat Jasper Bloom so badly on Pangee's party night, and did, as he promised, strip him naked and throw him downstairs, leaving Jasper Bloom in the He hid in the collection room until the end of the party in the middle of the night before he dared to sneak out to find clothes, and he locked the door of the collection room all night, fearing that some men and women would come in and fool around and find him.

Then of course, after the incident, William began to be teased by the entire Phoenix Club. The methods they used to tease him were ten times worse than the new members of the club-Jasper Bloom did not mention the fact that he was beaten at the beginning Firstly, there was no evidence, and secondly, he was taller and stronger than William, but he was beaten up like that, which made him feel very ashamed, but this did not prevent Jasper Bloom from telling the incident to one of his cronies in the club. Some people knew about it, so that the other party could help him take revenge, but it was spread widely, and the members of the Phoenix Club finally found out. They were all filled with righteous indignation and vowed to take revenge for the president.

——Actually, there are quite a few Phoenix members just because of jealousy.They are jealous of William's status as a Hollywood movie star, allowing him to easily get the enthusiasm of almost every Harvard hot girl, but they themselves can only rely on their family background or status as a member of the Phoenix Club to boast and seduce, in order to attract a decent-looking person at a party They are jealous of William's straight A grades. They look like a vase, but their brains are not stupid, so they can't easily belittle and slander them. Finally, that appearance and figure are of course also the focus of jealousy. Li Mingming, a Hollywood star who has been away from school for half a year, can actually make eighty to ninety percent of the girls in the school still dream about him when he is not around, this is simply the public enemy of men!

Oxford, Cambridge, Yale, Harvard and other top prestigious schools with hundreds of years of history, in the long years before they began to admit female students in this century, they were all universities that only accepted male students, or even only male students from families above the country gentry class. Students with free money but no channels to vent their energy created a secret student organization. While being passed down from generation to generation, the rules and admission tests were also made by the predecessors with boiling mania and enthusiasm. Don’t think that the United States As the New World, Harvard, the oldest university with a history of only 300 years, the tricks of the ultimate clubs must not dare to let the freshmen climb the steep tower to test the bravery of the Cambridge Apostles, or let the freshmen drink boogers, There are so many Oxford Bullington clubs with saliva, cigarette butts, and worms mixed with precious wines. In fact, clubs in American universities are also very good at playing. The son of former President Bush and the current governor of Texas Jr. joined the skeleton at Yale During the meeting, it is said that he was forced to masturbate in front of all members.

And staged a real robbery scene, smashed freshman dormitories, beat them with sacks in public places such as library cafeterias, and let freshmen jump into the river with only their underwear to swim or run around Harvard Square in the cold winter in Boston at the end of January. The ultimate club membership test that has taken place or is about to take place on the Harvard campus.Against such a group of ultimate club members who have inherited manipulative methods for more than 300 years, one can imagine how difficult William's life on campus is.

The first time the dormitory was smashed into a mess, but none of the valuables were lost, William stopped living at the school temporarily. He first rented an apartment off-campus for his roommate Christopher Dixon, and then went to live in a hotel by himself. , If you go to class, you will take a taxi back and forth every day-Christopher Dixon is very loyal and wants to share the difficulties with William, but William said that this is his own business, and he has to solve it by himself.

Thanks to regular exercise, and a strong sense of self-protection, spending time in the cafeteria or library at school, and having hired professional boxers for professional counseling for filming, William did not suffer too much. Last time Jas Bo Bloom brought people to the Weidner Library during the lunch break, and when he wanted to put on William sacks, he was also helped by the students around him intentionally or unintentionally. After taking action scenes, you have to persist in actual combat training. At that time, William was more fortunate than ever that he had good physical fitness and skills.

What happened on the Harvard campus, the school may not know about it, or it may have heard of it, but it turned a blind eye. In short, no one from the school has come forward to deal with it. This is not surprising. The degree of liberalization of American universities It has always been very high, as long as there are no serious injuries or murders, the school and the police will not intervene.What's more, the eight ultimate clubs will soon come to exist that even Harvard's board of directors can't do anything about.

But the entire Harvard campus gradually knew about it, and the campus BBS forum was about to explode.
