The Greatest Showman (Big Play Bone)

Chapter 80 Mentality deviation

Rodriguez looked at Ryan in front of him, in a suit and leather shoes, full of energy, smiling, and his manner impeccable.

However, Rodriguez’s mind came up with what Lan Li was wearing today. For the audition, Lan Li’s clothes were undoubtedly impolite. The shirt and jeans were too casual, it looked like a … the contractor of the transport team. But it was precisely this casualness that successfully outlined the image of Paul Conroy. Obviously, Renly came prepared.

“I thought you would call in advance. I didn’t expect you to come to New York in person.” Rodriguez put away the chaotic and trivial thoughts in his mind. Ryan was not only his first candidate, but also from seeing the “Buried Alive” script. That’s it at the beginning, he must cheer up and take this opportunity well.

Ryan also regained his composure at this time, showing a decent smile, “Because I can’t sit in Los Angeles and wait, I need to meet you immediately, I need to talk face to face, I need to feel your ideas.” Ryan’s tone seemed cheerful. And joyously, “God, this is really a genius script, I really like it! So, I plan to surprise you. So… Tap!”

It must be admitted that Rodrigue is somewhat flattered. The coveted actor expresses such a positive enthusiasm. Rodrigue is so happy that he doesn’t even know where to place his hands. “If you can like it, that would be great. This It’s definitely my honor.” Rodrigue wiped the sweat from his palms.

Ryan raised his head and looked around. Not only did the crowd of onlookers not decrease, but it seemed to have increased. Although everyone pretended to be busy with their own affairs and did not contain themselves, the scattered sights still floated over, buzzing. The noise is always lingering in the ears.

“I don’t know if we can find a quieter place. We can have a deeper conversation.” Ryan retracted his gaze and looked at Rodriguez, showing a big smile, “For this script, for the entire project, I still have some I hope that we can learn more about the things that I don’t understand.”

Rodriguez can feel that Ryan is condescending-Ryan was not intentional, but the fact is that it is the case. Rodrigue asked Ryan to play “Buried alive”, and Ryan, who is now among the second-tier players in “Buried alive”, does have a condescending role. What’s more, Ryan skipped the part of the broker and came directly to New York, which has given Rodrigue enough attention.

The reason is clear, but Rodriguez couldn’t help but think of Lan Li again. Lan Li did not mind the noisy environment of the youth hostel, nor did he receive any interruption in the performance; Lan Li did not fail to understand the intention of the script, but instead offered his own opinions…

“It’s quiet enough here. They are very kind buddies and won’t come to disturb us.” Rodriguez’s excitement slowly settled down. After experiencing the excitement of just meeting, his reason gradually returned to his body.

Rodrigue knows that the appearance of Ryan means that the possibility of cooperation has risen sharply, but it still does not mean that cooperation is achieved. Ryan needs to learn more about the situation; in turn, he believes that Ryan is the best candidate to play Paul, but it is only His own assumptions, the strength of Ryan, still need to be further measured.

Rodrigue is a Spaniard, and he has no advantage in the United States. He is not a world-renowned master like Pedro-Almodovar. He is just a fledgling rookie. “Buried alive.” It is very important for him, and it is likely to be a stepping stone to open the door to Hollywood. Therefore, he hopes more than anyone that this work can reach the expected level and then be successful.

Rodriguez took the initiative to sit down, Ryan hesitated for a moment, and then sat down at the place where Lan Li was just now. Scarlett patted Ryan on the chest and whispered, “I won’t disturb your audition. Go out to get some air and come in later.”

During the audition process, the actors need to be absolutely focused. This is not a social occasion to have dinner with the producer, so Scarlett chose to avoid it temporarily, leaving Ryan free to play.

Ryan smiled, patted Scarlett’s hand on the back, and whispered, “It won’t be long.”

“Good luck.” Scarlett stood up, and then smiled brightly at Rodriguez, “Mr. Director, I won’t interrupt your conversations between men. I hope everything goes well.”

Rodriguez nodded cautiously, although he touched his sensitive nerves with Ryan’s “not too long”-what does this sentence mean, does it mean that he doesn’t take him seriously? Still feel that this project does not need to take too long? Or is it that Ryan thinks it’s already nailed down? But in the face of Scarlett’s smile, Rodriguez cleared up his emotions, smiled and nodded, and watched Scarlett’s slender figure leave the lobby.

Rodriguez’s eyes fell on Ryan again, showing a humble smile, “Ryan, which part of the script is the most impressive to you? If you don’t mind, you can just perform it and let us Use professional language to communicate.” Rodriguez could feel Ryan’s muscles stiffen slightly, but his words did not stop, and continued, “I know that this project is a severe test for actors. It’s also the first reason I think of you. So, what do you think of the script and the characters?”

Ryan only felt choked, shouldn’t he take the initiative? Shouldn’t it be him who controls the rhythm? Why… Something seems to be wrong?

Scarlett left the lobby of the youth hostel. In front of the door was a small courtyard. The space was not large, even smaller than the basketball half court. However, two plane trees were planted. The dense shade almost reduced The entire yard was covered, sparse sunlight pierced through the mottled leaves and fell down. Various plants were planted in the brown soil. There were large tracts of creeper climbing all the way up the corner of the wall. It had just rained. The breath lingers under the nose, and the refreshing water vapor blooms in the continuous green.

At a glance, Scarlett saw the man named Lan Li just now. He was standing at the gate, as if standing in front of a window, looking at another world. The casual and sloppy plaid shirt wraps his broad shoulders, and the silhouette of the side face can be seen in the shadow of the backlight. It is as calm as water, elegant and sparse, but it bursts out with a blooming moment of brilliance.

“Need a lighter?” Scarlett stopped at the man’s side, stood at a similar angle, and looked out, trying to appreciate the sight the man was staring at. The undulating road of Amsterdam Street was quietly in sight. Extend away.

‘S hoarse voice is not as vicissitudes as a smoker, just like the palm of a cat, with short and sharp nails gently rubbing in the palm, with a touch of sex/feeling in the laziness. You don’t need to turn your head to know that the person here is Scarlett.

“Huh?” Lan Li raised the ending lightly, seemingly puzzled by Scarlett’s opening remarks.

Scarlett pursed her mouth, rolled her eyes, and replied with a contemptuous look, “You should know that the only reason many people hold a cigarette is to smoke it; if you want to pretend to be a noble character, you You can choose a pipe, or at least a cigar.”

Lan Li looked down at the cigarette dangling from the corner of his mouth, and laughed blankly. This is just a little habit from his previous life.

He used to be an old smoker, and his well-behaved life gave him almost no breathing room. When he was in college, he had to smoke a pack and a half a day. Even if he wanted to quit, he couldn’t quit. What’s more, he didn’t want to quit. He was living. Under heavy pressure, smoking is the only way for him to have fun-he does not play games, he does not participate in sports, his alcohol is far from good, and cigarettes are the only support. If there are no cigarettes, he will not. Know how long you can last.

Later, he was hospitalized in a car accident, not to mention that smoking is not allowed in the hospital. Even if allowed, he could not smoke anymore. Being forced to quit smoking involuntarily, the pain and torture of quitting seems to be insignificant compared to high paralysis. Quitting smoking is much easier than imagined.

After 　　 was reborn, he could smoke again, but he was no longer attached. It’s not because I have seen too many cases of death because of smoking in the hospital in my previous life, but because after death, nicotine has become no longer important With cigarettes in your mouth, it is more like a This habit, the habit of thinking, the habit of remembering, and the habit of the body can help him concentrate and help him start thinking; he always carries a pack of cigarettes with him, but he hasn’t lit it for a long, long time.

“How do you know this is not a big/hemp? The reason why I didn’t lit it was because I didn’t want to be watched by the police officer on the corner.” Lan Li was not angry, but instead laughed slightly and took the cigarette off. Put it back in the cigarette case.

Scarlett’s gaze fell on Lan Li’s fingers, slender and vigorous, like a bamboo knot, but the simple movements were like works of art, which made people unable to stop their gazes. Scarlett took a close look at the cigarette, “So, is it hemp?”

“Do you need a bite?” Lan Li not only did not deny it, but said instead, grabbing the cigarette case with his right hand, and then holding the top corner of the cigarette case with his index finger and turning it gently, “I thought you need to stay awake today, you I know that Ryan is auditioning, and you are his strongest backing.”

“His career doesn’t need…” Scarlett said smoothly, but before the words were finished, she reacted, showing a playful smile, “I thought you were competitors. Ryan’s failure should be you. Love to hear.”

Lan Li shrugged, smiled and nodded, “Facts.” He admitted Scarlett’s words frankly, but this caught Scarlett off guard and laughed blankly, “I will not refute, because as a competitor, what I have in my hands There are really not many chips, and it’s not easy for this hand to turn over.”

“The real poker master knows how to bluff people.” Scarlett’s eyes flashed slightly and said with a smile.

Lan Li raised his eyebrows lightly, “Then guess, am I bluffing or winning?”
