The Greatest Showman (Big Play Bone)

Chapter 13 Cohabiting roommate

Go home on a skateboard from the Pioneer Village, but only 15 minutes away, away from the bustling restaurants, bars, and movie theaters. After entering the residential block, the surrounding noise gradually calms down, and the coffee shops or grocery stores on the roadside have been closed. , Only a convenience store not far away, which operates 24 hours a day, is still brightly lit.

The street lights on both sides of the street are very faint, and they are barely supported weakly, seeming to be swallowed by the rush of darkness at any time. Occasionally, you can see a group of blacks roaring and howling wolves on the side of the road in droves. The wanton laughter broke the tranquility of the neighborhood and added a dangerous coldness to the night.

When I first came to New York, whether I chose to live in Manhattan, which is rich in land and convenient transportation, or in Brooklyn, where rent is cheap but far away, Lan Li also really hesitated for a while-mainly because he was shy in his pocket, and later pioneered the village. His job opportunities allowed him to settle down in Manhattan.

Although it is already half past two in the morning, there are still many rooms in the building with lights on. The walls that are as weak as wallpaper cannot stop the spread of noise. Not to mention the roar of engines on the street, even the neighbors next door. The private love story is clear. Walking in the corridor, the noise from time to time lurked in the dense night.

stepped on the skateboard under his feet, listened to the sound of the room, there was a dead silence, then took out the key from his pocket, tried to avoid more noise, and gently opened the door lock. I originally thought that my roommate was already asleep, but after opening the door, I saw a strong figure standing in the middle of the hall, shocking Lan Li.

At this time, the figure was wearing only a pair of white underwear/pants, facing the full-length mirror on the wall to examine his figure, a well-proportioned white flesh dangling particularly conspicuous under the light, and clenched his fists up hard, full and strong. His biceps were fully revealed, and he was turning his body around to check the muscle lines of different parts in detail. A long golden hair was twisted into a tufted bun, and the conflict between strength and softness was somewhat contradictory.

Hearing the door opening, the other party did not turn his head. He lowered his head and looked at his abdominal muscles, muttering and asking, “You said, is my abdomen line a bit crooked?” The strong accent even seemed a little vague. , People don’t quite understand.

Lan Li couldn’t help but chuckled, and closed the door of the room, “I saw this picture as soon as I got home…remind me, why did I choose you as my roommate?”

“Because you can’t find an actor’s job, and at the same time you need someone to share the rent.” The other party finally put down his hands, turned around, and cast his gaze at Lan Li confidently and arrogantly, his blue eyes looked like The ocean of Hawaii is so clear that it is intoxicating.

Lan Li frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and said seriously, “Then, why do you, who got a job, look at your muscles here in the middle of the night?”

After such a counterattack, the opponent suddenly disappeared, with his hands on his hips, his expression screamed, “Lan Li-Hall!”

Lan Li rubbed the pierced ears with her index finger, “Speak down, Johnson on the third floor will be able to hear it.” The ridiculous tone made the other party break his skills, slumped his shoulders, and laughed helplessly. However, seeing the relaxed smile at the corner of Lan Li’s mouth, he couldn’t help but gritted his teeth, jumped on the spot and crossed the sofa, rushed to Lan Li in two strides, and hit Lan Li directly with his chest. Chest.

Compared to the other’s chest, which is comparable to a woman’s chest, Lan Li is really not enough to look at it. Her chest becomes tight, as if the bones are all pressed down, “Foul! Women invaded men in this way. It is clear that we should give up resistance!” Implying that the opponent is a “woman”, a fatal blow made the opponent stand in place helplessly, gritted his teeth.

“You know you are a cunning guy.” The opponent grinded his teeth but was helpless.

Lan Li shrugged, “I know.” The calm appearance made both of them laugh, and laughed directly.

Standing in front of Lan Li, is Chirs-Hemsworth, Lan Li’s current roommate, this sexual/sensual Australian actor who later became popular all over the world because of “Thor”. He was still a The young boy who has just come to the United States to work hard has a jerky Australian accent that is very obvious. In short, he has a sense of hometown.

Although Lanly lives in the lower/city area of ​​Manhattan, and the rent is much cheaper in Greenwich Village, the monthly rent of $1,600 is still unaffordable, not to mention that this figure does not include water, electricity and coal. .

When Lan Li moved in, there was another roommate, but the other party soon moved to Los Angeles. Obviously, compared to New York, the shortcut for Los Angeles to become famous is more attractive. In order to share the rent, Lan Li had to continue to hire, but, unexpectedly, he found a “Brother Hammer”.

Before Chris came to the United States to work hard, he was already a small well-known TV actor in Australia, so his development path is very smooth. First, he won the opportunity to perform in “Star Trek”, and then played against Milla-Jovovich (-Jovovich) in “A Perfect Escape.” A smooth journey.

When Chris came to inquire about the room, Lan Li was also a little surprised. Having starred in two works, Chris is fully capable of living in a better location and a better house. There is no need to come to Greenwich Village.

During the later time we got along, although Lan Li did not directly ask, it can be guessed from Chris’s words. So far Chris has appeared in two works, but they are both supporting roles, and the pay is not too high; now most of the income has been reinvested, such as buying clothing, such as hiring a personal trainer. These are all investments in the future. save.

Recently, Chris’s agent is negotiating for his next work, and it is very likely that he will be promoted directly to the leading actor.

Comparatively speaking, it would not hurt to have a simpler residence. So, Chris stayed at home temporarily, and his follower fitness trainer exercised his muscles and was always ready. However, the waiting time was a bit more than expected. Two months passed in a blink of an eye, and there was still no movement. Only then did the two people have the conversation just now.

After the joke, Chris stopped Renly who was about to go back to the room to wash up. “How about the audition today?” Before Renly could answer, Chris jumped onto the sofa and sat down cross-legged, “Is it like what I said? The same? Only the audition director is there? And the on-site staff are completely unfamiliar faces? It’s not like the movie acting. When you go to the scene, you can see big-name directors and big-name producers.”

Chris has more experience in auditioning, so he shared a lot of his own experience before that.

“Tom and Steven both showed up today.” Standing at the door of the room, Lan Li had no intention of concealing. To tell the truth, “When I saw them on the scene, my first reaction was shocked. Probably because of that. They are particularly concerned about this series, so that’s why they personally participated in the selection of actors.” After all, the “Brothers” is ahead, and the preparations for the “Pacific War” are indeed under tremendous pressure.

Listening to Lan Li’s words, his chin gradually dropped, and a storm of consternation gathered under his eyes, “It must be so!” Chris said in a very affirmative, but he immediately realized that he was a little too eager, and he smiled twice. Sheng, explained, “I mean, they are so busy, they need to monitor the whole preparation process, there must be a lot of things, it is impossible for the producer to do everything by himself.”

After a pause, Chris was also a little choked. “I knew I went to the audition.” He asked his agent, but the agent thought there was no value in attending. Tom and Steven would definitely not show up. This is just a TV series. Chris’ current goal is to be a movie, and he is still the leading actor. Participating in such an audition would hardly be of any benefit to Chris. Unexpectedly, I missed an opportunity to meet the top bosses face to face.

“What about the audition results? When will they come out?” Chris raised his head again, expressing concern.

Lan Li showed a bright smile and did not hide his joy. Such a simple expression is enough to explain everything. It made Chris stunned, but he didn’t understand at first. After a few laps in his thoughts, this Then he asked tentatively, “So… you got the role?”

Uncertain question sentence, but got a positive answer from Lan Li. UU read www.uukanshu.com’s “impossible” words and blurted out. Chris looked at Lan Li with incredible eyes, and a trace of jealousy emerged in his heart— He has been at home for nearly two months, and he is almost boring to grow mushrooms. Now, he has not only missed the opportunity to meet with a big man like Steven Spielberg, when will the opportunity for the next work be? The appearance is still unclear, and more importantly, he also failed the first TV drama audition in Australia, and Renley’s audition was so smoothly selected.

“Are you envious of me?” Lan Li sensed Chris’ mixed emotions and directly pierced it, but it made Chris a little embarrassed. Lan Li chuckled lightly, “You are a movie actor and will soon become a leading actor; I It’s just the first chance to perform, TV actor. You should understand this math, right?”

The playful tone made Chris picked up the pillow and smashed it at Lanly. He couldn’t help laughing. “I just think that big crews like this usually don’t announce the results so quickly. You actually knew that day, are you sure? Isn’t it a lie?”

Lanli shrugged, “If Tom Hanks deceives me personally, then I have nothing to say.”

The triumphant tone made Chris tickled again. Looking at Lan Li’s back, turning and leaving, Chris remembered another thing. He sat up straight and shouted, “What about the pay? What role? How much is it? Have these details been discussed?”

“That’s not something I can decide.” Lan Li replied calmly, shaking his hand like a shopkeeper, causing Chris to fall slumped on the sofa, unable to help but feel a little lost.

Now, Lan Li auditioned and found a job, what about him? When will he wait for his next job? No, he must speed up, otherwise he will be overtaken.
