Hollywood Rhapsody

Thanks to her extraordinary memory, Sarah searched her memory for a long time and successfully found the memory of this American TV series, a restricted-rated film called "addictive, hormone-escalating".

Through the phone, Sarah learned that it was the rock girl Sarah met the 30-year-old casting director Smith at a rock gathering. At that time, she had just learned that she was pregnant, complicated and struggling, crying loudly in the seething rock music, And this scene happened to move Smith.

"Oh my god, are you Sarah? That Sarah screaming in the rock?" Smith was wearing a plaid shirt and dressed casually. His slightly chubby figure and fleshy face made him smile very friendly , the eyes were squeezed into a slit by the flesh, but now this cute fat man stared his eyes to the largest extent in history, looking in shock at the beautiful girl holding a book and smiling in front of him.

Sarah didn't answer, just raised her eyebrows, and spread her hands wordlessly after sitting down.

"Well, I may have made a fuss, this is definitely a magical transformation. God bless, you and the baby have made it through safely, thank you for the baby who brought you good luck, and made you a completely different person People, more beautiful and charming. And if he hadn't come to the world in a hurry, I couldn't let you participate in the performance with a big belly." Smith looked Sarah up and down for a long time before accepting the big change in her image.

After a simple greeting and pleasantries, Smith began to introduce the characters of "Prison Storm": "I'm looking for you this time because I actually have a problem girl character. When I saw the character settings, I couldn't help but think of you in my mind. Of course, I don't mean to say that you are a problem girl, but I want to say that although we only met once, the way you sang and cried that day left a deep impression on me,"

Sarah nodded, and had already lowered her head to read the script fragment. Although the plot is very short, this opportunity is already a pie from the sky. How many girls dreaming of stardom in Hollywood would earn money for this less than 5-minute shot? Breaking my head, the reason why Smith found her was because the characters in the script were too suitable for her. Her mother died early, her father was a disabled alcoholic, and the girl herself was not a law-abiding master. She was hanging out with a murderer in a bar. Unaware of it all the way, her lover was arrested in the end, and she was accidentally killed by a stray bullet while she was pregnant.

All of Sarah's scenes appear in the memories of the murderer, scattered fragments, tragic ending, the whole shot is designed to be heavy black and white...

"This is a very good opportunity, thank you Smith. Although the girl in the story ended badly, how should I put it? She touched me a lot..." Sarah pursed her lips and stroked her chest in fear. Then I spread my hands, "You know I just crawled out from the feet of the god of death. The feeling of brushing shoulders with death is so bad that I still have lingering fears when I think about it. Yes, I was terrified this time. Just like in the script The girl in my life seems to be another me, after the madness of youth and ignorance, it is an irreparable and painful price."

"So I thought of you after I saw the script, but I didn't expect you to change so much. Look, I can see this with just one glance." Smith gestured with his hand, obviously after more than ten minutes, He is still a little uncomfortable with Sarah's image, "Compared to the rock party, now you are completely different, without exaggerated messy hair, without heavy makeup, you are completely like another person, and you are so beautiful that people can't take their eyes off."

"Ha, I'm about to be blown away by the praise, don't be like this, Smith, your words are too exaggerated, I'm a little blushing." Sarah smiled and waved her hands to stop Smith's still wanting to continue the praise, and blinked mischievously , making no secret of his longing for the role, "So did I get this role? Acting in my true colors, trust me, you will never be disappointed."

"Well, of course, if we weren't optimistic about you, why would we be sitting here?" Smith asked with a smile, and pushed a note with the address of the studio to Sarah without intentionally showing off, "Actually, the director has already watched it. I went through the photos and videos of you at the rock rally, and I am very satisfied, so congratulations to Sarah, as long as you play in your true colors, this role is already yours without accident."

"Yeah! It's great!" Sarah waved her fist excitedly and cheered in a low voice, but soon noticed the momentary regret on Smith's face, which puzzled her, and the smile on her face froze, slightly Xian Xian asked, "What's the matter, Smith? You seem to be regretting, is there any problem?"

"Well... you actually saw it." Smith touched his face, no longer concealing his emotions, and sighed regretfully, "There is a great character that seems to suit you well, the rebellious high school girl, and another A resident role in a campus American drama is of course much more important than that in "Prison Storm", but it's a pity we didn't meet earlier, and the candidate for this role has been confirmed a few days ago."

"Regular role? Damn it, I'll cry all summer because I missed this role!" Sarah scratched her hair in regret, as if she had just passed by a big boss, and shook her head jokingly after a while, " I hope that next time I have a role where a girl with similar problems reforms her past, I won't miss it again. But thank you, Smith, for giving me the opportunity to become an actor, which has always been my dream, and I have a lot of love for Prison "I am very much looking forward to the filming."

"I'm also looking forward to it, and how should I put it? I didn't expect you to be so beautiful without heavy makeup. To be honest, I've been amazed...Look, this is the first time I've lamented your beauty? There are so many blond and blue-eyed Hollywood, like a world-class beauty pageant, but even so, you are still the most beautiful among them. Believe me, as long as you have the opportunity, your dream of becoming an actor is not far away." Smith A pair of eyes were glued to Sarah's face, but the eyes were pure admiration, which did not make Sarah feel disgusted, but such unabashed staring still made Sarah feel a little uncomfortable, and Smith quickly realized that At this point, he let out a dry cough and retracted his gaze.

Sarah pursed her lips and smiled happily, her eyes flashed with longing because of Smith's words. She used one arm to support the table as a cheek support, curiously inquiring about anecdotes about the set, while secretly sighing in her heart. Her "inheritance"—blond hair, blue eyes, fair skin, delicate and almost perfect facial features, this beauty is the original body's greatest wealth, and Sarah is happy to maximize this wealth Take advantage of it.

Smith's gaze still couldn't help but drift towards the opposite side, and finally landed on the book next to Sarah, and then was attracted by the words on it, and said in surprise: "Mathematics? Calculus? I remember you were in high school, right? This is in Self-taught?"

"Yes, I'm learning this knowledge by myself." Sarah picked up the top calculus, shook Smith's incredulous gaze, and then widened her eyes pretending to be puzzled, "What? Your eyes are full of Do you believe me, Smith, are you doubting my ability to learn? Hey, dear Smith, if there is a role of a genius girl, you must recommend me, whether it is advanced mathematics. Operations or complex computer operations, these scenes I also like You can act in your true colors.”

Smith smiled disapprovingly, apparently not believing Sarah's words, but then he urged with interest: "If you can solve the math problems in college, maybe I really have a role here that I can recommend to you."

"Are you serious? Come on, test me on the debut question." Sarah froze for a moment, her original frustration dissipated in an instant, and she couldn't believe that a casual joke in her heart actually had unexpected gains?She quickly stared at Smith with bright eyes, clasped her hands in front of her chest in a begging gesture, "Dear Smith, don't tell me this is just a joke, give me a test question, I can't wait."

"Wow! Are you serious? Debut question?" Smith stared in embarrassment. He couldn't even calculate three-digit multiplication and division, but the embarrassment was quickly resolved.

A young man at the next table leaned forward to join their conversation. He looked about 20 years old and happened to be a college student in computer science named Alan.The big boy rubbed his dark brown hair with a smile and winked at Sarah: "I'm sorry to hear your conversation, but I'd love to help this beautiful girl win an audition if she can unlock my For the topic, I believe that even an Ivy League school will extend an olive branch."

Smith slightly raised his eyebrows at Sarah, as if silently asking her if she really wanted to take the test. He still thought that Sarah was talking big, but in this questioning look, Sarah stretched out her hand and made a move to Allen. An invitation to act.

"OK, I'll pick a simpler topic!" Allen rubbed his hands excitedly, brought all the books on his desk, and said while turning the pages, "This book is a textbook for the Department of Mathematics. , I don’t know how many times more complicated than the required mathematics course in the first year of college, and its difficulty can definitely meet the director’s requirements.”

Sarah secretly rolled her eyes, "Passerby" Alan was really ruthless, but when she saw Alan's final topic, she froze for a moment.She took the blank paper with the question written on it, and swallowed unconsciously. The question seemed familiar. It seems that her luck is not so good, and she should buy a meth to try when she returns home today.It’s true that she majored in mathematics as an undergraduate, but that was seven or eight years ago. Even if she recently looked through the college’s basic calculus textbook, it’s impossible to get all the knowledge back, but this question...

"Assume that f(x) is defined at (1,1), can be derived at x=0, and f(0)=0, prove..." Smith opened his mouth in disbelief, looking at the Sarah, who was brushing and writing, murmured, "Sarah, can you really solve it? God, I don't even know how to read the title."

"A high school student can actually solve the college mathematics major competition test question? Although this is an old question that came out in 1977... No, this is not the point at all, my God! I can't solve this question so quickly !" Alan's voice amplified unconsciously, he was severely hit by the girl in front of him in shock, and wrote down the finite increment formula from Sarah "f(x)=f(x)f(0)=f'( 0)x+0(x)", he was completely dumbfounded.

"Well... I hope the director who auditioned me will react like this." Sarah shrugged, and after writing the final conclusion, she let out a breath of relief. Who would have thought of that?It's a coincidence that she has a memory of this question. It is a classic test question for mathematics analysis majors, so she has done it many times. After all these years, she still remembers it clearly, which is really lucky!

Although Smith couldn't understand what Sarah wrote, his eyes were staring in front of him. Allen, who originally wanted to watch a good show, had told him everything—Sarah didn't brag, she was really a 16-year-old math expert, and now Time for him to make good on his promise, audition chance?God knows that this was just his joke. Although he heard that there is indeed a crew that needs a similar role, it is an important role. I don't know if he will use Sarah, a newcomer who has never acted before.

"Hey! There is indeed a young genius in Prison, and the role is much more important than the rock girl before, but..." Smith spread his hands before continuing, "Dear Sarah, I didn't mean to make things difficult for you, It's just that the series needs men, after all, this prison is a place for male criminals..."

Sarah could only shrug her shoulders and smile regretfully. In fact, being able to get to know Smith has already surprised her. Who would have thought that the accidental encounter with the original owner a few months ago would bring her the first Hollywood contact!As for the future, it's good to keep a normal heart, hiding a 30-year-old soul, she still has this kind of basic calmness, as a technical fan, she is not in a hurry to appear in front of the camera, but being an actor seems to be very important. Interesting challenge.

Sarah thought of the beautiful woman who adopted her in her previous life. As a well-known actress in China, she tried several times to enter Hollywood but ended in dismal results. This was influenced by many factors such as race, environment, and language, but it was ultimately the regret of her adoptive mother.Now that I have the opportunity to try it out and make my way in Hollywood, isn't it very interesting?

Let's start testing the waters with the small characters in "Prison Storm"!

Saying goodbye to Smith, Sarah walked out of the cafe, admiring Los Angeles in 1997 aimlessly while waiting for the bus, and her eyes were quickly attracted by the movie poster not far away.

At this time, behind Sarah, through the large glass window of the cafe, one can see that the big boy who gave Sarah a question before was talking to his companion who just arrived, and from time to time his eyes drifted to Sarah outside the window .

"She actually solved the problem in less than 2 minutes. She is so smart but so beautiful. She is really a fascinating girl." Allen rested his chin on one hand, and at this time he no longer concealed it, admiring Sarah unscrupulously His back, his eyes were shining, he seemed to be talking to himself or asking for advice from his companion, "You said I'm going to ask for a phone number now, will she give it to me?"

"I don't suggest you go." The blond young man next to Allen squinted his eyes and replied without thinking.He looked at Sarah's draft of problem solving, took a sip of coffee, and then admired the slender figure with his companions, and there was an imperceptible deep thought in his eyes.
