Which one is better if the officials are forced to die together [Comprehensive British and American]

Chapter 374

For Daniel, the events of the last few months have seemed like a dream.

First, he had a few drinks because of the pressure before a show that was crucial in his career. Unexpectedly, these drinks made him accidentally fall down the stairs and broke his leg. As a result, the opportunity to show off was missed.

The second is that he lost his agent. After the contract expired, the other party mercilessly threw him into the trash can.

Finally, his girlfriend, who has been in love with him since high school and became a model with him, also switched to the arms of others-the ex-girlfriend's new lover is Hollywood superstar Tom. Who is better to envy.

Whoever he envied, Daniel knew his modeling career was over.

He is 27 years old this year, and he is still a nobody among male models.Although male models are completely different from female models, female models who reach the age of 25 are out-and-out old people in the industry, but the golden age of male models is generally between 30 and 40 years old, but this is still only for male models who have climbed to the top. privilege.

For ordinary male models, the industry's highest tolerance for them is no more than 27 or [-] years old.

So that show that was supposed to be his was really a turning point in his life, and either he could get more opportunities from it, or he had to retire from the modeling industry and find another way.

Daniel would have been devastated—if he hadn't gotten a phone call.

The person on the other end of the phone called himself "Kal-Eyre" and expressed his interest in him, hoping to invite Daniel to be the protagonist of his upcoming new movie.

"...But, but Mr. Al." Daniel was a little dizzy in front of the huge surprise, but still maintained the minimum calmness, "I have never acted before, sir, I only know how to walk the show..."

God knows how heartbroken it was to say something like that, and it came from Carl.For Al's invitation, no one knows what this name and the power behind this name represent in the entertainment industry. If it wasn't because he was afraid of angering the other party because of his poor performance, Daniel would definitely agree to it first and then talk about it. .

As for the person on the other side of the phone, it wasn't Karl at all.Al, but counterfeit?

It's not that there is no such possibility, it's just that it is too difficult to impersonate such a big shot, no matter what the other party wants to seek, Daniel doesn't think he is worth such a sacrifice.

The person on the other end of the phone sounded gentle, and the magnetism in his voice made Daniel drunk: "Don't worry, Daniel, this movie doesn't require much acting skills. What I like is your...overall image."

"My image." Daniel imitated awkwardly.

"Your smile, your hair and eyes, the way you look at people, your experience with the camera, it all comes together," Karl said, "and most importantly, your body."

"My...my body." Daniel swallowed.

Even though he knew that Carl never meant that, he still couldn't help having some beautiful fantasies because of this sentence.

"Your body. It's important," Carr said. "You have to wear tights during the shoot."

Mr. Ayre's assistant contacted him half an hour after the call ended and sat across from him an hour later.

It was a young woman with red hair who visibly froze when she saw Daniel.

She brought him a contract.

During the reading of the contract, Daniel could always feel the other party’s gaze on his body and face. He was very used to this kind of gaze. He just read the contract intently, and after making sure that there were no obvious clauses that were unfavorable to him, Daniel signed it happily. on the name.

"You..." Wanda said, looking at the handsome man in front of her with an expression of attentive listening, she rubbed her fingers uncomfortably at this similar expression, "Do you know the role you are going to play?"

"A superhero. It's not stated, but he's clearly based on Superman," Daniel replied.

"Don't you think there's anything?" Wanda said. "You don't feel...disrespected, or bothered?"

"I would be a little uncomfortable if another studio made a movie like this - I'm not from Metropolis, but I know what Superman has done. It's D&M, and frankly, I don't feel that much about it." This is consuming Superman." Daniel explained, "After all, the Al family is from the metropolis, and Mr. Al's reputation in the metropolis has always been very good."

And everyone knows that D&M Company is a non-profit company. It doesn't mean that it doesn't make money, but that most of the money earned by D&M Company is invested in the charity under Al's name.

Wanda nodded, accepting the statement.

Daniel showed a shy and uneasy look opposite her: "May I know why Mr. Little Al takes a fancy to me?"

"Your image is very suitable." Wanda said, "If you were a little more relaxed and natural when you walked the show, I guarantee you will not be as confused as you are today."

Then she paused, and suddenly gave a slightly strange look: "When you get to the set, you will know who the villain is. Don't be too surprised, Daniel, we paid some money to hire him to play this role."

Even though she said so, Daniel was still very frightened when he saw each other on the set.

His ex-girlfriend's new lover, a big shot with equally astonishing commercial value and artistic value, a superstar popular all over the world——

He's the villain in this movie.

Daniel was dumbfounded.

He felt that sooner or later his dignity as the protagonist would be completely crushed by the other party's acting skills.

While he was sitting gloomily in the dressing room, another call came in.

It's Carl's call.

Daniel seemed to grab some life-saving straw: "Mr. Al! I don't think I can act well in front of him, I have no acting skills at all!"

The Oscar winner played him a supporting role in this movie!How can he!

"I've never expected your acting skills, Daniel, your expressions on the catwalk are all messed up." Carl said unhurriedly, "As I said, this show doesn't want your acting skills. What the play needs is your image—just act in your true colors.”

Mr. Little Al's tone of voice was still so gentle, but he was indeed a willful young master who would not accept rejection at all. After saying this, he hung up the phone, leaving Daniel alone without tears.

He finally bit the bullet and stood in front of the camera.

Tom is also in front of the camera, just across from Daniel, wearing an expensive suit and an elegant smiling mask. He gazes at Daniel with fury, hatred and sarcasm, his green eyes seem to be covered with a slippery layer. Mossy quagmire.

Daniel was captured by such a dangerous and charming sight, his mind went blank, and he didn't know how to react at all.

He just stared at Tom blankly.

"Cut!" the director said loudly, "Very good! Pass!"

What?What?That's it?What did he perform?Daniel was confused and terrified.

Tom seemed to be walking towards him, but Daniel stiffened and fled.

The subsequent shootings all maintained this state: when Daniel knew nothing about what he had done, it was when the director was full of praise; when Daniel consciously tried to show something, the director would frown and ask for a new start.

It took Daniel two weeks to talk to Tom when he wasn't filming.

"Hey dude, I know about you and your ex-girlfriend, and I'm still worried about how long you'll be angry." Tom was very free and easy about Daniel's previous avoidance, "You don't want to be angry because she has something against me." Seeing me outside of working hours, I understand, fully understand - at least your opinion of me has not affected your performance, in my opinion, you are a dedicated actor and you deserve respect."

Daniel said nothing.

When Daniel, the superhero played by Daniel, was chained to the wall in a Christ-like pose, and Tom, the villain played by Tom, the mad scientist, businessman and conspirator, walked slightly hesitantly and disbelievingly Daniel looked at Tom as he approached him, knowing that both of their minds were blank.

They are completely manipulated by another strange force.

Tom doesn't read his lines, without sneers, sarcasm, and bombast, and Daniel doesn't read his lines, without sneers, frowns, and stoicism.

They were all just looking at each other, simply looking.

The person representing evil raised his hand.

His palm trembled slightly and caressed the face of the person representing justice, but stopped a few centimeters away from the face of the other party.

He drew the face of the enemy from a distance, with his lips slightly parted, his expression was agitated and confused.

The hero representing justice just watched him silently, without saying a word from the beginning to the end.

The film didn't last long, and after filming, Tom exchanged contact information with him and invited Daniel to his private party.

"...I will consider it." Daniel replied.

But he ended up not going to the party.

He even took the money and quit the showbiz without hesitation after making this movie, it's a lot of money, maybe he'll start a small business, maybe he'll go back to his hometown, whatever he wants to do in the future, Daniel is sure He will never set foot in New York again.

After "Superhero" was released, he quietly went to the cinema to watch the movie.

The movie is very good-looking, the battle of wits is exciting enough without burning your brains, although there are not many fight scenes, but the rhythm and angle of editing are excellent, and the protagonist's whole process of "becoming a hero-falling into a low ebb-breaking the deadlock" is also very good. with enough persuasiveness.

Even the emotional scenes that always seem vain in movies of the same type are so sincere in this movie.

Daniel gets emotional watching the actor and actress kiss, even though he knows he's thinking about his ex-girlfriend when he kisses the actress.

And his eyes were on Tom.

After all, the film failed to solve his problems. He could not continue to be a model, nor could he switch to an actor.

But Daniel did get an answer, an answer he didn't want.

——A hero's enemies watch his hero all the time.

—with mad love and sober hate.
