Superstar

　　 Rob was standing next to the long table and looked at both sides. It was not appropriate for him to sit on which side, because there were only five people in total. If sitting face to face, one person would definitely face the air. So I walked to the side of the long table, asked for a chair and sat down, "I'll sit here."

　　 In this way, Hugo and Joseph sit on one side, Brad and Martin sit on the other side, and the positions are immediately settled. Originally Hugo thought there were at least five people who auditioned, but now it seems that he and Brad are two people, and of course the current first candidate Tom Cruise.

　　 Hugo is across from Brad, Rob is on the left, and Joseph is on the right. He and Brad’s eyes touched together. The two young people exchanged a smile, and then quickly looked away. Hugo can see the high morale in Brad’s blue eyes, the vigorous and confident posture is full of sparks, although Hugo and Brad have not yet burst into a fight to death. However, there is no doubt that the two people met again after "Dahe Love", and no one wants to lose in the competition.

As a senior agent, Martin opened his mouth before sitting down and aroused the atmosphere, "This is your first work in two years, right? I heard that you have been preparing for a long time, but it made us look forward to it. I'm sorry. And Brad was revisiting'When Harry Met Sally' last month, right?"

Brad knew that the last question was for himself, and he immediately took it, "Yes, I was still asking Martin at the time, saying that if you shoot a movie in the future, I can win the audition, so it would be great. ."

Hugo watched the two people on the opposite side sing the double reed skillfully, but Hugo and Joseph had only been together for two months, and obviously lacked tacit understanding. He was not nervous at all, and he took a moment to look at Joseph, which seemed to be He said, "Look how good Martin is," and Joseph stared back fiercely.

"Directing is always in a hurry, isn't it? I don't want my director career to have only one "When Harry Meets Sally"." Rob looked up and down with the menu, with a smile on his face. In fact, his words were very gentle, not blunt or ironic, but this kind of answer made both Martin and Brad a little stiff, and they could only smile and nod.

　　 Hugo and Joseph laughed unscrupulously as they looked at the appearance of the two opposing people being unfavorable.

　　 "Let’s order first, I have missed their grilled chicken breast for a long time." Rob read the menu very carefully, and he looked really hungry, "Actually, the chicken noodles are also very good."

　　 Hugo originally wanted to speak actively. After all, he was a passive gourd during the audition, but it didn't work. But seeing Rob like this, he obviously didn't intend to get into business from the beginning, so he also read the menu carefully. The United States is a country of immigrants, and they don’t have their own special dishes. When you see this menu at first glance, what Hugo can see is not only fried chicken or fried chicken. This makes Hugo start to miss the rich and diverse dishes in the country before. .

　　 "Hugo, how about it, do you have any satisfactory dishes?" Rob took the initiative to stir up the topic. It seems that Brad has just shown it, so he intends to give Hugo a chance.

"Uh, I'm not sure. I saw Mrs. Knott's famous fried chicken." Hugo was really reading the menu, so he seemed a little intermittent when answering questions. He was reading the detailed explanation under the dish." I was thinking, since this is really Mrs. Knott’s special fried chicken?" Since this shop is called Knott’s berries, this dish should be considered one of their signatures.

Hugo’s words made the four men next to each other chuckle, including the two rivals on the opposite side. Although Martin’s smile was more disdainful, Hugo couldn’t help but smile, "Well, I know, I Not a food expert, I admit this sad fact."

　　 "Since you are curious, please come here and have a taste." This is Rob's comment.

Hugo actually ordered this dish called "Mrs. Knott's famous fried chicken". After experiencing the appetizers and salads, when Hugo saw the main dish served, he was really dumbfounded, a white one. There are only four poor wings on the plate, "Uh, are you sure this is full?"

　　 Although Hugo lowered his voice, except for Joseph on his right, the other three people also heard it. Brad's eyes are full of smiles. Today's focus should be on the audition. Eating is not the protagonist. But what Hugo said is right. As a staple food, this "famous fried chicken" really does not seem to fill your stomach, but Hugo seems to have put the focus on the wrong one. But it is undeniable that Hugo's honesty carries a kind of frankness, not the kind of rustic, ignorant and vulgar, not only can not be hated, but also can not help but laugh.

It’s just that Martin Baum, as an agent, doesn’t think so. He smiled and said, “If you don’t have enough food, you can go on.” This sentence is full of irony, as if Hugo was here on a special trip. It's the same as the white food.

　　 Rob is not surprised at such a scene. In Hollywood, there is no chance of success if there is no competition. You can't see the future if you are humble and polite. Martin's controversy is just sprinkling water. But Rob didn't want to sit here and watch them quarreling, so he took the initiative to say, "Next month, the Rodney King (Rodney. King) case is about to go to court? I've seen it for two consecutive weeks." The Los Angeles Times’ front page is reporting this incident, and it’s probably going to be very lively recently."

Although Rob seems to be just chatting, everyone here, including Hugo, knows that this is an audition. The conversation other than greetings is more than just chatting, and the Rodney-King incident involves court debates. It can be regarded as a variant topic of Rob's audition of "Yihai Xiongfeng".

Brad obviously has more experience than the Hugo who crossed over, not only the audition experience, but also the "experience" of being an American, so he quickly picked up the topic, "We must maintain the justice of the law, don't we? The four police officers. The behavior of the police must be punished."

At the beginning, Hugo didn't realize what the "Rodney-King incident" was talking about. He only traveled for two months. He was not familiar with news events in the United States, but accompanied by Brad's answer. Hugo quickly understood, because even he, an outsider, knew about this incident, causing a stir in the United States, and even has an immeasurable influence on a global scale.

"But, it was Rodney King who made the mistake, didn't it?" Hugo said, "The media dominated all this, and they convicted the four white policemen. The prosecution convicted, created public opinion, and led to the development of the matter. It’s where it is now, isn’t it?"

Hugo’s point of view was completely different from Brad’s. Brad suddenly raised his head and looked at Hugo with perplexity and anger. Even Rob was the same, with an expression of disbelief on his face. Make Hugo feel that he has done something heinous and bad.

The thing is like this. Rodney is a black man with criminal convictions. He was drunk with two black buddies in March last year, but Rodney still drove his friend home and ran into Patrolling police. In the car, the police sirens sounded and asked Rodney to stop.

　　 Rodney’s friends all realized that the police car was coming and asked Rodney to stop, but the drunk Rodney pretended to be crazy by drinking and started playing a speeding war on the road. In fact, Rodney knew that he was a parole criminal with a criminal record. If he was arrested for drunk driving again, it would definitely be bad, so he started desperately fleeing.

　　 But Rodney was still arrested. The chaser stopped. After the patrol car requested support, the police set up a net and successfully contained more than 20 police cars. After getting off the car, Rodney’s two partners immediately put their hands behind their backs according to the rules and accepted the police’s arrest, but Rodney knew that he was in danger of escape, so he simply broke the can and began to use all kinds of Various provocative gestures angered the police. Observe.

　　 gradually surrounded the police who came up. The investigator issued a verbal warning, which was invalid, followed by four police officers. Cha stepped forward and tried to capture Rodney, but Rodney, who was a tall man, was not afraid, and even though he had launched a desperate fight with the four, one of the police officers was even knocked down, which stimulated the other three police officers to use Gao. The piezoelectric baton put pressure on him, but the sturdy Rodney actually stood up again and had a one-minute confrontation with the police officer. The police officer had to brutally beat Rodney with the baton~www.wuxiahere.com~Finally Successfully subdued Rodney.

Surprisingly, this beating scene was actually filmed by a resident named George Holliday (e. Holliday). He secretly filmed an 81-second live video, which did not capture Luo. In the part of Deney's provocation, Rodney did not shoot the police officer down to the ground, only the scene of Rodney fighting the police officer and then brutal suppression by the police officer.

The next day, George sent the video to KTLA, a local television station in Los Angeles. The KTLA TV station, which was originally gloomy because of the declining ratings, was a treasure. After the president’s decision, the editors cut the 81-second original video. Cut into sixty-eight seconds of television footage, creating the illusion of white police officers beating up and down black citizens who are helpless.

　　 This video was repeatedly broadcast hundreds of times on major television stations in the United States, and it became a sensation of racial discrimination throughout the United States. Sensitive black people think that their lives are severely threatened, reminiscent of the terrible scenes of the Gulf War not long ago, so it has developed into a sensational riot in the United States and even the world.

During this year, the Rodney King incident has become a thorn in everyone's heart, and its sensational level is unmatched even in this year's U.S. election. The court debate that will begin next month also gathers everyone. Sight.

Brad, Martin, Rob and others obviously watched the 68-second original video. Even though they were all white, they knew the horror of this incident. As a result, Hugo made a completely different statement. , This is tantamount to stormy seas. Seeing everyone's surprised expressions, Hugo said innocently, "Don't you guys watch CNN News?"
