"So, you are Bambi? Cool, you look even more handsome than I thought. I like you." The punk girl with bright red hair and a bright smile blew up the pink bubble gum, making it round and big, and then It broke with a snap. She deftly sucked the bubble gum back into her mouth and started chewing it again.
Such a straightforward and calm look in his eyes made Lu Ke a little dazed, but he reacted immediately and couldn't help but chuckled, "Thank you. How could I have forgotten that things on the court may cause trouble? , but it is an extremely important magic weapon here? Now it seems that I can gain a little more confidence today."
Respond confidently and humorously, while not forgetting to emphasize your own position, and honestly face your strengths and weaknesses. The humor between the lines immediately relaxed the atmosphere. This kind of temperament and demeanor is really eye-catching, and it is not common even among many actors in Hollywood. After all, this is one of the innate skills.
The red-haired girl put her hands on her waist, blew up a big bubble again, raised her chin, and said with a smile, "I think you are much more interesting than others, without those fake Hollywood tricks. I am now looking forward to today’s program recording.”
Although it was not stated explicitly, the girl's peripheral vision drifted towards the dressing table, and the subtext couldn't be more obvious.
Lu Ke couldn't help but laugh happily, "You know what? You remind me of a good friend of mine, Logan Newman. The number 88 of our team."
"I hope he is a guy with personality." The red-haired girl raised her eyebrows, and then introduced herself neatly, "Lola-Cash."
"Lola-Kash?" Lu Ke showed a surprised look: Laura, that's the same name in the movie "Lola Run"; Kash, that's the same word for cash. Such a name is so interesting that it doesn't even feel realistic.
But Lola blew up a bubble again, then popped it again, saying meaningfully, "Welcome to Hollywood."
In this vanity fair, everyone wears a mask, hiding their true self, chasing different purposes and ideas, maybe interests, maybe dreams, maybe fame... No matter what, everyone gets what they want. Yes, if you take it seriously, it means losing.
Then, Laura turned around and said, "Come here, I am your hairstylist, let me do it for you quickly. When you appear on the TV screen, people will be amazed. It turns out that There's a face like this under the football helmet. To be honest, I'm already interested in you now."
"I think this should be a good thing." Lu Ke also shrugged calmly and accepted the praise gracefully:
Audience connection. This is a very strange thing. The same movie, the same work, the same characters, but some people are particularly popular with the audience, but some people just can't win the audience's favor. So people often say that in the actor industry, God rewards you with food. This is not about appearance, but popularity with the audience.
Lu Ke sat down on the left side of Emma, showed a big smile to Laura, and said half-jokingly, "I hope my organizing work will not take too much time, otherwise, it will be bad if I can't catch up with the show recording."
"If you are worried about running out of time, then don't be late. There is no respect at all, and what is professionalism?"
Coolly, an unhurried complaining voice came from the side. Originally, Lu Ke was joking with Laura, but now such a sound came suddenly. The two of them cast their gazes over, and then saw Emma who was still flipping through the magazine, without raising her head at all, as if saying Common sarcasm.
Lu Ke understood immediately. Emma thought he was late, so she didn't look good at the beginning.
But regarding this issue, Lu Ke had no right to speak and no room to refute, because it was his first time to participate in the recording of the program, and he didn't know when the right time was. Since Laihe said that arriving at the scene now is enough, He has no say and can only follow the arrangements.
Even if Emma thought he was late, Lu Ke had no intention of arguing. It's unnecessary and pointless.
However, Lu Ke had no intention of speaking, and others might not be willing to swallow their anger.
"Are you kidding me? If you can't finish your hair and makeup in forty minutes, then how amateur should I be?" Laura quipped back quickly. On the surface, she seemed to be answering Lu Ke's question, but The word "forty minutes" was deliberately emphasized, emphasizing that there was no lateness at all.
It could be seen in the mirror that Emma still did not raise her head, but the movement of flipping through the magazine suddenly stopped. Her delicate face was slightly stiff. She wanted to raise her head and moved her chin slightly, but in the end she still He tensed his muscles forcefully, pretending not to hear at all, and then continued reading the magazine.
"Clatter, clatter, clatter." The action of flipping through the magazine was extremely rough and forceful. The nails covered with red nail polish were venting the irritability and anger in his heart. The noisy voice was the best protest.
Laura withdrew her gaze, exchanged a look with Lu Ke in the reflection of the mirror, and raised the corners of her mouth.
Originally, Laura was a little worried. If Lu Ke and Emma were good friends and they were on the same side; or if Lu Ke had a quiet personality and would not dare to respond meekly, even if she stood up, If you still stay out of it, things will become boring.
But now that she saw Lu Ke's gaze, Laura's smile bloomed, and then she joked, "Or do you think you are a homeless person? You need to spend a few hours to carry out a plastic surgery project? "
The sarcasm inside and outside the words couldn't be more sharp. After saying that, Laura blew up a big bubble and deliberately popped it. The "pop" sound was extremely clear.
Lu Ke couldn't hold it back for a moment, he burst into laughter, and then he noticed Emma's arrow-like eyes projected over her, as if she was ready to stab Lu Ke with a heart-breaking blow, but Lu Ke didn't do anything at all. Panicked, "Laura, do you still have bubble gum? I think I need one too to clean my mouth."
Laura smiled and took out a bubble gum from her pocket and handed it to Lu Ke, "Of course there is no problem."
Even without turning his head, he could feel a tight and restless breath coming from the right side of his eyes. Before even talking, the smell of gunpowder had begun to fill the air. Lu Ke stuffed the bubble gum into his mouth. Looking at Laura's projection in the mirror, "I have a hunch that today's show will be very good."
"Really? I think so too." Laura showed an expression of surprise, opened her mouth wide, leaned over, raised her right hand high, and gave Lu Ke a high-five. The cheerful atmosphere was similar to the one beside her. The low air pressure was in sharp contrast, and even other staff in the locker room felt it deeply.
As their eyes crossed, the difference in Hollywood Vanity Fair slowly became apparent: gossip had begun to spread slowly.
…
In the busyness, time flies. In the blink of an eye, the recording of the program has officially begun.
Lu Ke and Emma stood one after another on the side corridor, behind the reddish-brown door they just saw. At this time, the door has been closed and it has become a passage for guests to appear.
In the studio separated by a wall, the laughter and laughter of the audience could be clearly heard. The host Jay Leno's opening one-liners were still full of witty remarks and exciting. But Lu Ke didn't have the time to pay attention to those jokes now, and they were still repeating them over and over in his mind. I am extremely worried about today's program recording, not only because it is a strange first time, but also because it is not my area of expertise.
They had been standing here for five minutes. Lu Ke didn't know whether it was long or short, but to him, it felt like five hours. This was much more tense than the live broadcast of a night game, and he couldn't help but start to feel dry. I felt dry and felt the feeling of being helpless again for the first time in a long time.
Out of the corner of his eye, he accidentally noticed Emma's movements.
Now there are only two people in the entire passage, Lu Ke and Emma. The assistant and manager have stepped back a long way to prevent their figures from entering the camera capture range. Therefore, it is very difficult for Lu Ke to ignore it even if he wants to -
Emma was holding a bottle of mineral water in her hand, which the assistant had just handed to her; but she had been holding it in her hand for about a minute, but she was still unable to open the lid. She turned her left hand, then her right hand, and then her left hand again, stunned. It was motionless. Whether it was due to dry mouth or excessive exertion, Emma coughed lowly. In order to avoid affecting the recording of the program, she had to press her lips tightly and swallow all the coughing sounds in her throat.
Seeing this, Lu Ke didn't say anything, and reached out to take Emma's mineral water.
Emma was obviously a little surprised. She didn't hold on tightly at all, and the mineral water fell out of her hands. Then she looked at Lu Ke blankly. Before she could say the tit-for-tat words, Lu Ke had already unscrewed the cap of the mineral water bottle. Handed it over again.
Emma still couldn't react. She frowned slightly and looked at Lu Ke blankly, as if she didn't know how to respond. Then she saw Lu Ke making a drinking gesture with his free left hand; The mineral water was raised and signaled again, which immediately made Emma embarrassed. She hurriedly took the mineral water, raised her head, and carefully poured the mineral water into her mouth.
In order to avoid damaging the traces of lipstick, Emma raised the mouth of the bottle slightly and poured it down from the air. However, she did not expect to be too nervous. With a flick of her wrist, the mineral water poured sideways, and she suddenly became extremely embarrassed.
Emma hurriedly bent down to prevent the mineral water from getting her clothes wet, and cast a bewildered look for help. At this moment, a red official support scarf of the San Francisco 49ers was handed to her next to her. Lu Ke lowered his voice and said, "This is brand new and clean, don't worry."
Wha...what?
