Birth of an actor

Before the unveiling of the Teen Choice Awards, no one knew what kind of awards ceremony it would be. After all, there had never been a similar awards ceremony for teenagers in Hollywood that spanned film, television, and music.

But now, Amon Goffman knows: this is a carnival exclusively for teenagers, the awards ceremony is held like a concert, the host is a young radio DJ under the age of 1, and the performers are all current For the most popular singers and groups in Hollywood, the stage is the same T-shaped stage as the concert, and it is next to the auditorium. There seems to be no distance between the auditorium seats and the seats. Girls in miniskirts or boys in jeans, and they're screaming from the first minute of the ceremony.

The screams came and went, whether it was when the big screen cut to Britney Spears sitting in the first row below the stage, or when the Super Boys performed on stage, or some When the bloody soap opera actors started to present the awards, there were always screams on the scene.It seems that screaming has become the only thing they can and can do.

The Teen Choice Awards is really worthy of its name. Every link is trying its best to please the young audience, and at the same time, it makes every adult audience who is physically mature and psychologically mature feel a headache-from walking on the red carpet tonight, hearing the red carpet From the moment the underage girls on both sides shouted Justin Timberlake's name hoarsely, Amon Goffman wondered countless times whether his ears were going to be deaf.

Or is he really a little old, and he can't understand the feelings of these crazy boys and girls at all.

No, it’s definitely not because of age, Amon Goffman swears, he watched “Star Wars” for the first time in his life, and when he was hopelessly in love with Princess Leia, he was definitely not as crazy as he was, Wanted to tattoo a head of Kelly Fisher on his ass, and when he was walking the red carpet, he definitely saw Britney Spears on the back of a boy and on the thigh of a girl Saw Will.What a pity that Will couldn't see this for himself - his face, on a girl's lap!And it's definitely not a portrait or a tattoo sticker.

Imagining all kinds of funny expressions that William will have is one of the important reasons why Armon Goffman survived this extremely noisy awards ceremony.

Fortunately, the Jewish agent was not the only one who suffered from the high-decibel noise of the concert. Director George Lucas, who was nominated for multiple awards for "Star Wars Episode [-]", also appeared on the scene and gave a speech at the concert. Maintaining a constipated look for part of the time—the Jewish agent felt better knowing that someone was suffering more than he was.

The only benefit brought by the extremely excited and over-excited audience is that the candidates for each award do not have to wait for the award presenters to reveal the answer. They only need to watch which short film they get when the candidate introduction short film is played on the big screen on the stage. Scream the loudest and you'll know ahead of time who the winner will be.

Amon Goffman just judged William to win the award in this way. Not long ago, when the introduction short film of the five candidates was played on the big screen, there were screams at the moment "Blood Together" appeared Still the strongest.

This gave Amon Goffman a little more time to prepare, so that he could think about what to say when he accepted the award.

"The winner of the Best Actor in a Drama Series is—" the award presenter opened the envelope and said a name that didn't surprise anyone at all: "William Bradley, "Blood Together"!"

scream.

Bigger screams.

Bigger and bigger screams.

And when Amon Goffman appeared on stage, it became a bigger and bigger question and dissatisfaction.

"Will?"

"Where's Will?"

"Who is that old man on stage?"

"Why didn't Will come to accept the award!" The sharp disappointment was about [-] decibels, the kind that could hardly be accepted by the human ear.

"Jesus, a three-piece suit! Isn't he hot?"

Amon Goffman is of course hot. This is August, and it is in Los Angeles. No matter how strong the air conditioner is in the venue, it will not make it much cooler. But no matter how hot it is, the Jewish manager refuses to wear a T-shirt and jeans that are not slim. Appear in any public place with nearly a thousand spectators.

When receiving a mini surfboard that is as tall as a person and symbolizing the honor of the winner of the Teen Choice Awards from the three beautiful actors in the popular American TV series "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" that is popular among young people, among them The disappointment on the face of one actor, Alyson Hannigan, was so obvious that it was too late to hide it. Her whole eyes and expression seemed to say: "Huh? It's not William Bradley who came to lead Award?" This sentence.

"You don't have to wait any longer, William isn't at the Grand Center tonight, and he won't be popping up behind me, he has a very urgent matter that he has to deal with himself, so he can't come here to accept the award, So I can only—" Amon Goffman pointed to the audience: "This old man in a three-piece suit you mentioned will accept the award on his behalf. Oh, by the way, let me introduce myself, I am William Brand Leigh's agent, Amon Goffman."

There was some laughter from the audience, mocking Amon Goffman's "old man in a three-piece suit", but there were also loud boos from the southeast, which were caused by great disappointment and uncontrollable Sent by fans of their own emotions.

Armon Goffman held a mini surfboard about his height with one hand, and with his right index finger in front of his lips, he stared at the most chaotic and noisy area below the stage: "Shhh - don't shhh me anymore, it's not my order Will doesn't show up. You know, I've been Will's manager since he was a teenager, and he loves me very, very much, and he'd be very, very disappointed if he knew you'd treated the people around him like this."

This kind of extreme nonsense and willful behavior of giving money is of course revenge. The Jewish broker’s random nonsense is just to vent his grievances against William in his heart-that’s how irresponsible I am to accept the award and run the train with my mouth full. Look at William Do you still dare to let me dove casually in the future!

But what is shocking is that Amon Goffman's quasi-true joke actually worked. As soon as he finished speaking one second before, the boos from the audience disappeared immediately after that, like that one The fans who are sitting are really afraid that they will disappoint their idols.

'Wow. Amon Goffman was really surprised this time: "What a loyal fan, how easily incited emotions, now I finally fully understand why "Blood Together" can make money only by telling fairy tale-like love stories With almost [-] million US dollars, why is Hollywood paying so much attention to fan movies now? Fox wants to organize a choice award for teenagers, because the teenager market is indeed a big gold mine that needs to be developed urgently!Will's vision on this is indeed much longer-term than mine. He should have expected today?But why the hell is he skipping the award show knowing that teenage fans need to be taken care of? '

Amon Goffman came to the Teen Choice Awards ceremony full of resentment. William had never skipped any important occasion that required him to attend. This time, not only did he suddenly decide not to come at the last minute Well, without even mentioning the reason, the Jewish agent became anxious and angry after he was worried to death and called William countless times but the other party refused to answer. He would have given up on other actors. (The founder of IAA, who directly holds at least a dozen A-list actor contracts, is not used in this way), but because it is William, so Amon Goffman obediently came to smooth things over for William even if he was upset ——Tonight is the first awards ceremony of Youth Choice. If the pigeons are really released directly, the friendship between William and even Willot and Fox will undoubtedly be compromised.

And now, Amon Goffman stands on the Grand Center stage with a heavy surfboard in his hands, before an audience of thousands of teenagers who don't like themselves very much, Amon Goffman is sure, they Even those who don’t want to appear here, teenagers are the most rebellious middle schoolers, and they like to express their emotions in a violent way. This can be seen from the various reactions of the audience when he came to the stage to receive the award just now. ——However, no matter how much you don’t like him and don’t want to see him anymore, after seeing the reaction of these little fans after unscrupulously using William’s name, Amon Goffman can also deeply feel William Bran The magic contained in the name Deli.

Thinking of this, Amon Goffman's mentality suddenly regained its balance, and his mood became much better. He was even a little excited, because he was also responsible for the formation of this magical power.

"I know that the amateur life of teenagers is very rich now, so thank you, thank you for paying attention to this selection and voting for William, which means a lot to him. I am honored to be on stage to receive this for Will ——Honor." The word "trophy" almost blurted out from Amon Goffman's mouth, but he saw the mini surfboard that was almost as tall as he was holding on with both hands in time, so the word "trophy" hardened. Shengsheng was changed to "honor" by him.

Amon Goffman's acceptance speech now sounds more normal and sincere than before, and he even said "Will has the best fans in the world, thank you to everyone who voted for him" twice.The purpose, of course, is to help his boy... no, it's a man not a boy anymore, his man... no, to help his Will cement fan loyalty.

But though his anger had subsided, as he walked down the stage steps, the Jewish manager still remembered the culprit who dumped him in the face of a thousand overly impulsive, screaming teenagers—"William Bradley , you wait for me, I have to see what more important things you have to do!"

……

Feeling his nose itching, William strode out into the corridor and sneezed hard.

After standing outside the door and waiting for 5 minutes, after making sure that he had no signs of a cold, William walked lightly to the bed and touched Lance's forehead with the back of his hand.

It's slightly hot, and there's still a thin layer of sweat, but it's already much better than in the afternoon. When Dr. Walker came for an examination half an hour ago, he also said that the fever has begun to subside. If it's fast, he might be able to wake up tonight.

It has been half a day since Lance got off the plane. During these ten hours, William never let Lance out of his sight. He didn't even eat dinner.As for the awards ceremony of the Teen Choice Awards, I'm not in the mood to pay attention at all.

When he was a child, Lance was not an overly strong and healthy child. His thin body and pale skin that never got tanned made him look like a sick little prince since he was a child. Therefore, the members of the Roderick family The doctor always pays too much attention to him. Although he has not grown up to be as strong as an athlete for many years, he has never suffered from a serious illness. A cavity in his tooth is considered a major event. This time he had a high fever and traveled a long distance Flying, William really didn't know whether he should be more angry or distressed.

However, this reminded William of the last time he took care of Lance in this way—it was after the death of Jenny Roderick. Lance was depressed and autistic, almost suffering from depression. Excuse me, Lance has not closed himself in his own little world anymore, but he still suffers from severe ailments due to regular skipping meals and sneaking into Jenny Roderick's favorite study in the middle of the night. I caught a cold, my little face was flushed, and I was talking in a daze. I would occasionally call out "Mom" after falling asleep.

At that time, William was still by Lance's side as he is now. Even if he was not given medicine or water, he would hold each other's hand from time to time to let Lance know that he was not alone.William remembered that after that serious illness, Lance seemed to have fully realized the fact that Jenny Roderick was gone, and began to become stronger. It was also from then on that he began to know how to take care of himself and not let himself Being sick doesn't hurt others——after William accompanied Lance to recover, he himself fell ill in bed and lay down for three or four days, which was probably one of the reasons.

Thinking of the past, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but smile again. William picked up the soft fabric beside the pillow, and gently brushed it over Lance's forehead, nose, and side of his face, then pinched it into sharp corners, and carefully swept over the corners of his eyes and lips, His movements are surprisingly gentle and more patient than restorers restore works of art.

William has always felt that Lance's skin is composed of two colors of white and red with different shades, especially now; the high body temperature brings two clusters of pink on the cheeks, and makes the originally pale complexion somewhat transparent , probably because I was taken care of and drank water a few times when I was asleep, my lips have gotten rid of dryness, and now they are a fresh red color, just like roses that were just picked in the morning and still have early morning moisture The petals, as for the body wrapped under the quilt, maybe it has been too long in the bad weather in England, even the sweat is delicate and white with a little dampness, just like a marble sculpture in the Renaissance period...

William's movements suddenly stopped, and the pink color climbed from his neck to his ears at a speed that could be seen by the naked eye—what was he doing just now?Facing Lance who is ill, he fantasizes, and even almost begins to recall the inevitable scenes when he helps the other party change their dirty clothes?

Embarrassment suddenly surfaced in my heart.William stood up from the bed. The uncontrollable thoughts and the conscience discovery just now made him feel hot all over. He turned and walked into the bathroom. He decided to take the second shower of the day to clear his mind by the way, so that he could not allow his thoughts to spread unscrupulously. .

……

"The rose is red

violets are blue

sugar is sweet my love

But not as sweet as you—"

The deep male voice was mixed with the sound of rushing water, floating in the bedroom faintly through the double doors of the bathroom.

The voice of the singer is as clear and mellow as a cup of coffee, and like a cello being pulled slowly. It is the kind of voice that would be screamed by girls, "If you listen to this voice and read love poems, your ears will become pregnant!" In Hollywood, like this His voice is definitely an excellent talent for a voice actor, but a person with such a beautiful voice obviously didn't make good use of his talent. Whether it was the music or the singing, they were all out of tune and out of tune.

In all fairness, the voice of the singer is not loud, and after a while, it changed from singing to humming. The voice suddenly dropped a lot, but the penetrating power seemed to become stronger. Suddenly, the patient lying on the bed moved his eyelids uneasily, frowning slightly, wandering back and forth between drowsiness and wakefulness, his body was clamoring that he did not want to wake up, wanted to continue to sleep, but his gradually awakened brain was saying There is no benefit in continuing to sleep, waking up is the right choice.Moreover, the song sounds really familiar.

Whether it's the sound, the melody, or the way it's out of tune, it's all very familiar.

' Will was torturing people's ears again, only he would hum so recklessly in the shower. Lance slowly opened his eyes. He was confused for a while at first, but after realizing that he was in William Beverly's home, those peacock blue eyes quickly regained their former expressions:'《 Roses Are Red, the Bobby Winton version. '

Then, a strange emotion suddenly hit my heart.

Probably jealousy.After carefully discerning the sudden sour emotion in his heart, Lance judged like this.

Because "The Rose Is Red" is a love song, no, or this sentence actually means "I love you"-"The Rose Is Red" was originally a traditional folk song in England, because the words Simple but lingering, it is often used as a love poem, and its popularity is very high. Bobby Winton became a hit in 1962 with the adaptation of this poem of the same name, and eventually became a legendary singer named after Elvis Presley of.

It is no exaggeration to say that if someone wants to write a love letter, he only needs to write the sentence "roses are red" in the text without any other elaboration, and the recipient will definitely understand the writer's intention in an instant.So, who was William thinking of when he sang this song?Wouldn't he always think of this old song from decades ago for no reason?

The peacock blue eyes were shining brightly, if he knew that there was such a person in William's heart... But soon these deep emotions were hidden, because the sound of water in the bathroom ended.

……

William appeared at the bathroom door, wearing nothing but a pair of gym shorts that barely covered the bottom of his thighs, and a towel.

That looks, simply.

William wiped the dripping hair with a towel and made it messy, but this kind of hair was scrambling in multiple directions. The hairstyle that is very silly on others would only look wild and warm yellow on William. The light dazzled a layer of gold on his body, he yawned, pulled his arms upwards, stretched his body, stretched the muscles and bones of his upper body like a cat, and the muscles on his back undulated like flowing water, lifting his body. The Greek male god in Xiang's pen is nothing more than that, so beautiful that people want to engrave this picture and keep it forever.

Lance swore that he didn't want to continue pretending to be asleep. He wanted to make some noises to tell his friend that he had woken up, but William's next series of actions completely blocked his words in his throat——

After stretching lazily like a dormant lion, William performed the normal physiological movement of changing his underwear very erotically, probably because he felt uncomfortable wearing sports shorts, so he threw the towel aside and put his hands together Grabbing the corners of the fabric, he took off his underwear calmly. His speed was slow enough, so his movements were graceful enough. The waist, especially the lines of the legs flexed and stretched inch by inch, until there was no trace of fabric blocking the perfect body. exposed.

The frontal exposure was only for one second, and in the next second, the living David had turned around, facing the closet and picking out clothes, leaving only an infinitely imaginative back view.

Lance's body changed a bit.A change that rarely occurs in him.

——Rather than saying that the physical reaction is difficult to control, it is better to say that there is a kind of desire that has already been integrated into the flesh and blood and becomes an instinct. As long as there is a little bit of temptation and possibility in reality, this instinct will immediately give a strong reaction.

He lifted the thin blanket covering his body a little bit, observed what his body did, and found that it was really... unconcealably eye-catching.Putting the blanket back on, Lance found with some embarrassment that a mere blanket was not enough to cover up all the marks. If he was lying flat, it would not be difficult to find something wrong with a glance.

Thinking about how to cover up this embarrassing situation, William, who had already put on his shirt and buttoned it, turned around and was surprised to find that Lance's eyes were open: "Oh, Lance, I didn't know you were up? "

Knowing that William's "UP" refers to waking up, but now Lance can't help but associate it with another double entendre meaning (set up/get up).

This made his whole head turn bright pink when he answered William, in addition to his extremely weak tone: "Cough, yes, I'm up."

"Why is your face still so red?" Fortunately, William's full attention was on Lance's condition, and he even walked over to the bed and put the back of his hand on Lance's forehead: "Strange, the fever has subsided ah."

'The shirt is only half buttoned, it really helps with my situation, Will. Lance glanced down, and quickly retracted it, feeling the warm skin on the back of William's hand on his forehead, thinking of an excuse to send William away for a while, so that he could solve his troubles.

"Open the door! Will!" Suddenly a loud shout floated in from the courtyard outside, but there was no knock on the door, probably because the bedroom on the second floor was too far from the hall entrance.

"It's Amon!" William stretched out his hand and turned off the desk lamp.

In the dark, Lance could only feel a warm breath with a fresh peach flavor: "Oops, I skipped an awards ceremony, and Amon must have come to punish the teacher."

'So Will uses peach-scented shampoo? ''It would be more embarrassing to be so close to me, Will. ''By the way, the lights have gone out! ’ Three thoughts quickly flashed through Lance’s mind, which turned into pure joy: ‘Did I skip the award show because I was sick? '

Lance quietly turned his head to the outside. After his eyes got used to the dark environment, although he couldn't see William's face clearly, he could already feel the other party's sight. His dark green eyes flickered in the dim environment. Like two bright stars, Lance blinked, and seemed to see William's eyes blinking, and couldn't help but smile slightly.

William, who vaguely noticed Lance's smile, was confused: Why did my friend smile?Do you think Amon's distraught look downstairs is too stupid?

"I saw a room on the second floor where the lights just went out! Will! I know you're home and your car is parked in the yard!"

"If you don't open the door, I'll climb in from the balcony!" The threat of the Jewish manager continued to float in from the window.

"..." Although he really wanted to admire the manager's "heroic posture" climbing the balcony, William, who knew that he had to go downstairs to face the cruel reality, sighed and said to his friend, "I'm going downstairs." Lamp switch.

There seemed to be a sudden gust of wind blowing beside him, there was the sound of running fast, and when the lights came back on, William was surprised to find that there was no one on the bed, and there was a "bang" door closing from the direction of the bathroom.

"Lance?" He asked in surprise, wondering why his friend was in such a hurry to go to the bathroom.

A sentence floated out of the bathroom: "I sweat too much, I want to take a bath."

Judging from the sound, Lance's voice is very calm, even a little too calm, as if his condition has recovered, but for some reason, thinking of Lance taking a bath, William suddenly remembered the time he went to the bathroom to take a shower half an hour ago The reason is that the whole body starts to get hot again from the inside out.

This is also one of the reasons why when William saw his agent, he was complained to his face: "Why do you look like a big tomato?", and he didn't immediately refute it back.He has a guilty conscience.

……

First he discovered that his wife's bedtime reading had become "The Lord of the Rings", and later he found a copy of "The Silmarillion" that his daughter had borrowed from the city library in the study. Mr. Cobden, a real estate agent, was surprised: When did Ma Ervina and Rebecca are starting to like Tolkien?Didn't they like Julie Garwood's romance novels the most before, and at most they could add some works by Jane Austen or Anne Rice?

Because the structure is too large, the style of writing is simple, and the sense of history is heavy, Tolkien's works have always been more popular among male readers. Women, especially adolescent girls, rarely like such works. Mr. Cobden, who has been a fan of Tolkien's books since college, used to join the Tolkien Book Club, and at least seven or eight of the ten friends he met were men, and there were not many women.

Mr Cobden thought he was the only Tolkien fan in his family until he recently discovered two more.

The family has always kept a set of "The Lord of the Rings" trilogy, which was a limited edition purchased by Mr. Cobden five years ago, but in the past five years, except for him occasionally flipping through the books, this set of books is just a dull book. Eating ashes on the shelf, even if his wife Malvina saw it, she just helped to wipe the ashes, and never opened it to read.

So when, for the tenth night in a row, he saw his wife read The Lord of the Rings before falling asleep and read the third book in one sitting, Mr. Cobden inevitably thought "this is really weird", and He concluded that, without his knowledge, something extraordinary must have happened, and it still had something to do with Tolkien.

Is it because of The Lord of the Rings being filmed?As a fan of Tolkien's books, Mr. Cobden certainly knew the news about the filming of "The Lord of the Rings", but what he really couldn't figure out was how a film that hadn't been produced and released in the foreseeable future could bring him Uncharacteristically attracted by his wife and daughter, holding a tome of novels and gnawing non-stop every day?

Until one day, Mr. Cobden, who was not too sensitive to Hollywood, found a film clip of "Lord of the Rings" crew on the Internet. The film was very short, only 1 minute and 20 seconds, but Mr. Cobden watched it repeatedly. A dozen times.

He finally knew why Malvina and Rebecca were so excited.

Mr. Cobden was also thrilled.

However, unlike his wife and daughter, the reason for his excitement was not William Bradley, but the other scenes he saw in the trailer just now. Those scenes seemed to be left by the camera inadvertently, but revealed Too much information that made him tremble with excitement.

The majestic mountains and rivers, the mighty human army armed with full armor, the row of galloping black horses, the knights wearing cloaks riding on the horses, and the light figures passing through the woods by chance, fluttering in the air. blonde hair...

The magnificent and beautiful natural scenery, the imposing knight archer, and the gushing sense of history are just a few shots, but Mr. Cobden seems to see the words written by Tolkien transformed into pictures. The scene picture, that picture really flashed before his eyes one by one.

This is just a rough cut of the film. One minute and 20 seconds of the shot are actors reciting their lines, actors joking with each other, the director and producer accepting a one-sentence question-and-answer interview, and the remaining 1 seconds are used to shoot the movie It is related, and the 20-second shooting shot did not do any image processing-almost every shot has a staff member wearing a helmet and holding a horn directing the shooting-it is very likely that this clip is made by " The shooting log of the crew of Lord of the Rings was simply edited and produced, the purpose is just to announce that the film has entered the official shooting stage, but such a simple clip has brought Mr. Cobden an unprecedented touch: This is just a teaser, what will the feature film look like?

After the huge expectations, there was boundless despair in his heart, because Mr. Cobden suddenly remembered that the filming had just started, so wouldn't it be at least one or two years after the release?
