[Zhongyingmei] Devouring the sky

Tom called Kenneth Branagh and, as expected, heard from Kenneth that someone wanted to take the opportunity to replace him.

The other party used some tricks to find out Tom’s flight time to the United States, and then went to sue the producer, saying that Tom was not interested in the role and did not prepare hard enough, saying that he used the time he should have been preparing for the role to travel to the United States. It's irresponsible to have kids.Moreover, the child brought back was still an illegitimate child. Before the filming started, important actors had rumors of an illegitimate child, which would affect the image of the character and be detrimental to the film's reputation.The producer had some human relations with the other party, and he was not very satisfied with Tom, and he was even more unhappy when he was muttered by the other party, so before Tom called, the producer just complained to Kenneth on the phone After a call, the meaning inside and outside the words is that they want to change people.

Kenneth and Tom are good friends, and have collaborated with him in a stage play. He knows Tom well. He knows that Tom is not a random person, and he is absolutely professional in terms of work, so he discussed with the producer first. Listen to Tom's reasons.After all, changing people is just a matter of lip service, but after changing people, they have to redo all the preparations they made before. The makeup photos have to be retaken, and the clothes have to be re-customized. Not to mention wasting money, it is a waste of time .Their movie is about to start shooting, but they don't have the time to wait for the other party to get ready. If this delays the shooting progress, it will burn the crew's funds.

The producer hesitated for a few seconds between favors and money, and finally decided to choose money first. He asked Kenneth to ask Tom for a reasonable reason. If Tom really went to the United States to get away with it as his friend said, Then there is nothing to say about a direct substitution. If Tom has a reason, then he hopes that Tom can give him a good performance.

After hearing this, Tom immediately told Kenneth what had happened: "I know my behavior is very unprofessional, but I have to go. If I leave this child alone for my career, I will be condemned by my conscience for the rest of my life. .”

"So he is indeed your son? I saw the photos on the Internet, and you are all carved out of the same mold." After listening to Tom's explanation, the anger in Kenneth's heart disappeared, and he could fully understand Tom's point of view. It is impossible for anyone to remain indifferent after hearing what happened to Fenrir.

"Yes, we are indeed father and son. In fact, I was very surprised when I saw him. The Creator is really amazing." Tom said.

"Then is he okay now? He looks a little unhappy in the photo." Kenneth asked with concern.

"It's not bad, but Fenrir is more lively and active. It's really difficult for him to sit on the plane for a day. In addition, he doesn't like plane meals very much, so he has been unhappy most of the time." Of course, among them The main reason is that Tom is unwilling to give Fenrir too much food in order not to make other passengers feel that he is "abusing" children.

"It seems that the situation is not bad, so this shouldn't affect your performance during filming, right? I've guaranteed you from the producer," Kenneth said.

"I will never be distracted at work, but if possible, I hope to take Fenrir to the set, and I can bear the necessary expenses myself." Tom said.

"Why, suddenly there is a precious son who is reluctant to part with him?" Kenneth joked.

"In fact, the previous incidents still had some impact on Fenrir. He didn't talk to anyone before I went to see him, and now he is not very willing to talk to others. The psychologist suggested that I spend more time with him. This will help Let him recover as soon as possible."

"Of course, you can take him with you. Maybe I can give him a role. As soon as I saw his picture, I thought of our little Rocky." Kenneth said.

"I don't believe that the role of little Rocky has not been determined yet." Tom said, he did not take Kenneth's words seriously, because the movie requires a boy of seven or eight years old, and Fenrir is too young to be It meets the requirements, and Kenneth's words are obviously just a joke.Of course, even if the role is suitable, Tom will not agree to Fenrir's participation. Fenrir's current situation is not suitable for excessive exposure to the public.And Tom felt that God gave Fenrir a superior IQ, not for him to train Fenrir to be an actor.If Fenrir wants to be an actor, he can make his own decision when he grows up. For now, Tom's life path planned for him does not include actor.

After hearing what Tom said, Kenneth couldn't help complaining: "It's sure, but the process is not beautiful at all. Do you know how many parents are vying to let their children become child stars? As soon as we say it Trying to find two seven or eight year old boys who look similar to you and Chris, ended up receiving thousands of pictures in less than a week, trying to find the right one in those pictures, but we are very busy. Say To be honest, sometimes I really don't understand what those parents are thinking. Most of the families who can send their children to the entertainment industry are in good condition. Since they don't have to worry about food or clothing, why don't they let themselves I want my children to receive a good education and train them to be useful people. If you want to kill your children’s childhood and send them to this kind of place, it’s like who doesn’t know the chaos in the entertainment industry.”

"This is the charm of money." Tom said: "Everyone knows that the entertainment industry is not as good as it looks, but they also know how easy it is to make money in the entertainment industry. Although we British actors are famous for their high quality and low price , but our income is still very impressive compared to ordinary people, which is enough for those lazy parents to lose their minds."

"That's right, among those parents who sharpen their heads and want their children to be famous, which one is not for money. Oh, have I complained to you too much? I've been under a lot of pressure recently." Kenneth said a little embarrassed, Tom kept They are all good listeners. Every time I talk to him, Kenneth can't help but say more.

Tom, who has been occasionally regarded as a tree hole by his friends, immediately said empathetically: "It's nothing, I'm a father now, it doesn't hurt to hear more of these things, they can tell me how to better educate my children. "

Kenneth laughed twice, and said: "Do you know Tom, it feels good to talk to you, you can always make people feel comfortable with what you say, but I have to go to work now, and there are a lot of things before the filming starts, etc. Let me handle it. You don’t have to worry about the producer, I will explain it for you. Think about the role carefully and let them know that choosing you to play Rocky is definitely the right decision. By the way, remember to say hello to your son for me, I look forward to meeting him."

After Tom hung up the phone, he turned his head and gave Luke who was standing at the door waiting for the result a reassuring smile, "It's okay, Luke, Kenneth told the producer that he will explain it to me."

"That's good." Luke patted his chest exaggeratedly, and said, "When you were talking on the phone just now, Hemsworth's agent called me and wanted to ask me about the situation. If you If it's okay, I'll get back to him."

"Are they worried that I'll affect him?" Tom asked, putting the phone down.

"Come on, this movie is called Thor. He is a proper male lead, and it doesn't matter who he is in other roles. It's just that his agent discussed with me before that he wanted the two of you to hype the friendship meme together. In this way, you are all brothers inside and outside the movie, no matter which one becomes popular, the other will benefit, and it is easy to win the favor of fans." Luke shrugged and said.

Tom said indifferently after hearing this: "I thought he would be popular, because this movie is called Thor, and Americans like him like a muscular man."

"It's also possible that the movie is popular for the main character but not, or the villain is popular for the main character but not. Hemsworth's agent just wants to make sure nothing goes wrong. And you have to know that many female fans nowadays are more popular than those who represent justice. Male protagonist, they may prefer handsome evil villains." Luke put on an expression with a bright future in front of him, and said: "Think about it, the clown in Batman, and Voldemort in Harry Potter, They all have a large number of girlfriend fans, and Rocky will definitely not be worse than them, so it is very likely that you will be more popular than Hemsworth."

Tom looked at Luke's expression and shook his head speechlessly, put the phone in his hand, turned and walked into the living room.

In the living room, Fenrir sat on the sofa comfortably eating biscuits like an old man. There were already two empty packaging bags on the coffee table, and the bag in his hand was almost eaten up.Diana and Emma sat next to him and watched nervously, as if they were very worried that Fenrir would support themselves.

Seeing Tom walking in, Emma immediately stood up and pulled him to: "Tom, are you sure there's nothing wrong with him eating like this?"

Tom looked at Fenrir and said: "The doctor checked him when he was in the United States. Your little nephew is born with a big appetite. It seems that he can eat at least three adults' food per meal. However, in order not to overload his stomach, the doctor suggested that we try our best to adopt a small amount of frequent meals, and then give him more food that will make him feel full, and control it slowly, and it will be better in the future. I don’t care about this at the moment Why worry, his problem is that he may eat something other than food while we are not paying attention. The doctor said that he almost ate a plastic fork, so we have to pay attention to those around us that can be swallowed by him thing."

"Is this a psychological problem?" Emma asked worriedly.

"Yes, but it's not serious. The doctor said that there are many children who swallowed things indiscriminately when they were young. For Fenrir's level, we just need to teach it well. If we can't control it, it's not too late to find a psychiatrist." Tom went on to say that Fenrir took the Thor story seriously, "Someone instilled this false perception in him, and we need to teach him to understand the world again. The psychologist recommended several books on this topic to me. , I’ve already bought it online, and it should be delivered within two days.”

"It seems that you can't take care of him alone. It just so happens that I haven't received a new job recently. If you don't mind, I want to come with my mother to take care of him." Emma said.

"Of course I don't mind. I'm glad you guys can come and help me take care of Fenrir. But when the movie starts, I'm going to take him to the set."

"Take him to the set? But that kind of environment is not suitable for children." Emma frowned, she didn't quite agree with Tom's decision.

"I know, but you can also see that he is not very willing to respond to others except me, so it is best for him to stay with me. And I also want him to watch the filming process, to understand the consciousness of in Maybe when he finishes watching it, he will know that Thor's stories are all fake." Tom said.

Emma crossed her arms and thought for a while after listening, and said, "I think we'd better ask the psychiatrist if it's appropriate to do this. If the psychiatrist agrees, you can take him there. And I'm going there too, just treat it as a Your assistant, you can't take him with you, you definitely won't be able to take care of it when you're filming, and I don't feel at ease if I leave it to others to watch over."

"Then your job..."

Emma said immediately after hearing this: "Just take a longer vacation for yourself, my nephew is much more important than work."

"I can pay your assistant," Tom said.

Emma snorted and said, "No, I'm not really going to be your assistant. I'm here to take care of my nephew. I don't care what you do."

"Okay, okay." Tom had no choice but to give up the idea of ​​​​paying wages.But he didn't want his sister to suffer, so he planned to give Emma a better gift on her birthday, which would at least cover her salary for several months.
