Happy

    When I woke up, I felt a stone in my head and shook it a few times. Eric subconsciously reached out to touch the phone next to the pillow, and quickly understood her situation. She smiled and sat up. It was already nine. More points.

    This is Eric's bedroom on the second floor of the Williams home. The blazing sun in the summer, unscrupulously spilling through the floor-to-ceiling glass door of the south balcony into the bedroom, has entered August, and it has not felt the sultry heat of Los Angeles until noon.

    Reborn for more than half a month, Eric has been busy with all sorts of things, and the whole heart is floating in the air. I didn't even have time to look at the new world I was in. Now that everything has a good start, the whole heart will fall into the atrium.

    The bedroom is large, more than 30 square meters, and it is still empty after being placed in a big bed, wardrobe, desk, museum and other things at sixes and sevens.

    Memory Ralph once thought about dividing the bedroom into two rooms, but in the end it was not implemented, because the family had only two fathers and sons, the room was enough, and the other one did not know what to do. This seemingly bleak reason had caused Ralph to sink for many days, but until his death, Ralph did not have any action like finding a wife.

    I don't know if every alcoholic man has such a heartbreaking past.

    Walking down the second floor, it took half an hour to tidy up the messy living room after the party. After breakfast, Eric drove away from the house.

    After spending a few hours, I went to the store to fix a Strauss piano and left the address for the deliveryman. Eric went to the bookstore and picked up a thick book on music arrangements.

    Eric is not a whim and want to become a singer, he does these are only for the future soundtrack preparation, the mind of so many classic movies, if you want to perfect the restoration, you must know some basic knowledge of the arrangement, at least to achieve the mind of the existing songs written staff degree, Otherwise, you can't just hum it in front of the professional soundtrack.

    Hollywood is different from the entertainment industry in the East. Many mainland directors usually find a soundtrack when they are ready to make a movie. When the soundtrack is ready, the soundtracker will look at the film to provide some songs. The Director will listen to it and take a small shot.

    And Hollywood film music is a very important part, so the production of excellence, not to mention the background music, only the theme song has emerged countless classics, many classic movie episodes are famous for the world, such as "Ghost" of "unrestrained melody", "The RMS Titanic" "My Heart will go on, Transformers's "Newdivide", "youngandbeautiful", "The Great Gatsby", "Frozen" in "Letitgo", "Juno" is a good tune to fill a Album.

    When I returned home with a book, the deliveryman quickly sent the piano over. Eric directed the piano into the study room on the west side of the living room. It was a study, but there wasn't even a bookshelf. There was only one big desk and some other sundries. Eric's book is all upstairs in his bedroom, and Ralph has no habit of reading.

    After the piano is placed, try the sound as usual. Eric sat in front of the piano and put his hands on the keys. Then, in the eyes of several deliverymen with horror and contempt, the goods played a little bit of HappyBirthday. Eric squinted at the stunned deliveryman next to him, sighing and sighing. As far as this level is concerned, in the previous life circle, it is barely a virtue.

    In order to punish several deliverymen for their contempt, Eric directly halved the tip that he intended to pay. But a few of the delivery guys apparently didn't notice that, by the time he got on the bus, the white man, who was tall and thin, muttered Strauss, Strauss, that was more than 20,000 USD Strauss, a tone filled with a sense of collapse that would marry a 28-year-old girl to a 82-year-old grandfather, Eric. The heart is a little embarrassed, but very helpless, can not go up to tell him: Lao Yang You rest assured that I will take good care of Xi son.

...

    "What, audition?"Eric asked questioningly: "Penny, isn't my character already fixed?"

    After spending a few days at home, learning music, practicing basketball and performances every day, Eric thought that this might continue until the film started, but only three days, I received a call from Director Penny Marshall.

    "Of course, Eric. I mean, you want to participate in the audition of other characters. After all, you are a screenwriter, you can provide some advice on the role selection, isn't it? "

    Eric's abdomen can only make some comments, and nothing can be decided. However, Eric still readily agreed to Penny Marshall, who had wanted to participate in the production of the film to gain some experience.

    Drive to Fox's photography base. Seeing Penny Marshall and James Brooks, the film selection is a big thing, Director and Producer are of course to be present, it is still the room he auditioned a few days ago, there are several other staff involved in the casting, but only Eric A young man.

    It took more than ten minutes for the audition to begin, and Penny Marshall took the initiative to talk to Eric about the preparations for 17 again.

    "Big's success has made 20th Century Fox confident in our movie and has a budget of 20 million USD. But I hope that we will be finished as soon as possible during the Thanksgiving period, so we must complete the preparation within two weeks, before the end of the summer vacation, film the scenes in the school. "

    Eric took the audition actor list handed over by the staff and said thank you. He heard Penny Marshall say: "As long as the shooting is smooth, three months is enough for this movie. There are only a few simple special effects shots in the movie. It won't take long."

    Penny Marshall nodded. "It's true, but I have to reserve some time for publicity."

    "Right, Penny, what role do we interview today?"Eric asked.

    "It's like this, the adult Mike · O ' Donnell and Scarlett · O ' Donnell, we have invited Dan Aicreud and Susan Sarandon respectively, and Ned's adult role James has recommended one of his friends, and today we are mainly interviewing Mike's children and some of the other young actor in the film, so I think you should take a look. "

    Eric, although he already knew that this screenwriter was destined to have no say in other actor's choice, but heard himself completely uninformed, a few actor have been set down, or some depressed, fortunately Penny Marshall's two actor are in line with Eric's inner expectations, as for Ned's role, James Brooks will never take 20 million USD investment as a joke, presumably that actor also not too bad.

    However, Eric is still a bit unwilling, secretly vowed to master the right to speak in his own film, this feeling of being marginalized is really bad.

    Under the sorrow, Eric didn't feel like chatting with Penny Marshall. Penny Marshall didn't see Eric's strangeness. He turned to the other side and whispered something to discuss with James Brooks.

    Bored to open the audition Actor list, the front is a male actor, a small piece of meat in the photo shows his youthful vitality. After turning seven or eight copies, Eric finally found an acquaintance: Brad Pitt. And the role of the audition turned out to be Alex. The image of Alex in the original movie was the weak one. Eric felt that the weak version of the original version was a bit too much. The small body was swaying on the basketball court and it was a bit offensive.

    According to his analysis, the reason will choose that thin boy rather than a slightly tall and handsome point of male, in addition to the plot needs, Director must also worry that this supporting role will suppress the protagonist Zac Efron, because Zac Efron height is only 1.75-meter, this height in the west, especially in western male actor Inside is very short, previous life to see that movie audience also very obviously can feel this.

    Looking at the picture, Pitt, who is still 25 years old and still looks like a high school student, Eric suddenly feels that Pitt is tall and strong but bullied everywhere, and finally a reversal of the role on the basketball court is also good, and Eric is also completely confident that his performance will not be suppressed by Brad Pitt. After Pete became famous, it was discovered that he played Eric Williams' son. Isn't it interesting?

    The corner of the mouth twitched slightly, Eric went over the list, and then did not find the male Actor familiar with previous life.

    Next is a thick dozen Actress data. When I saw the first audition Actress data, Eric's chin almost fell, Angelina Jolie, the family is here today. Looking back, Eric found that Julie should have just graduated from the performing arts school this year, preparing to go to high school, and will start her modeling career next year. I don't know why it happened on Maggie's audition list.

    European and American women are very early in development. In the photo, the 13-year-old Julie has been slim, blond, and iconic sexy lips. The whole person has begun to exude a touch of wildness. Eric is not optimistic about Julie's audition results, and the ability to participate in the audition may be the result of his father's influence.

    Continue to read, Eric found another very interesting girl.

    "Hey, Penny," Eric asked, turning to the information: "What happened to Drew Ballymore, the bad things she did in the past two years…You know, maybe not suitable for our campus comedy? "

    Penny Marshall looked at it, but smiled helplessly: "Stephen recommended, the woman went to ask him for a dead skin, he recommended it." But Stephen also hinted that we don't have to think about his factors at all, so you understand. "

    "Stephen SpInternet Explorer lberg?"

    Penny Marshall nodded. "Yes, you know, Stephen is Drew's The Godfather."

    Eric snorted, then the woman with a disgust in Penny's tone should be Drew's greedy mother. It's just a few minutes, just a few minutes, through Eric's clues, he found that Hollywood's selection of Actress was not as fair and transparent as the media said, and it's still full of all kinds of human relationships, full of various games. .

    Just about to look through the list, Penny Marshall patted Eric and said, "Well, Eric, tidy up, the audition begins."

    Eric had to arrange the Actor tables in order, waiting for the next audition.

    I thought that I would become a display, providing at most one or two dispensable opinions and asking a few questions symbolically. Unexpectedly, the first young male actor came in. After answering a few questions, the performance stage began. Penny Marshall smiled at Eric and said, "Eric, you go up and play against Mr. Walson."

    Eric shrugged, looked at the lens script and went forward.

...

    The fifth actor walked out of the audition room, Eric sat back in the seat and joked and complained: "Penny, I thought you were calling me to be a referee, but I didn't expect it to be a basketball on the court."

    "Oh, very interesting metaphor, don't complain, Eric. It was James's idea, he complained that I canceled your performance class, and finally discussed this method for you to exercise. "

    Eric pretending to sneak a sneak peek at James Brooks, complaining, "Why don't you explain it directly?"

    "Do you know now?"Penny Marshall smiled.

    "Ok."Eric spread his hands silently.
