The Best Actor in the Vase of Meiyu

Chapter 226 The Act of Recognition
The screen audition finally came to a head.

Of course, this does not mean that the competition is over, but before a new round of competition begins, the agents need to inquire about information. Only by collecting enough information to judge the situation can they formulate a new strategy and sprint towards the goal. Therefore, at least for the next few hours Or even a few days of temporary rest and adjustment?
James Franco desperately needs some alcohol time.

To him, this is important.

"God, I'm almost going to explode." James didn't hide his excitement, and he was already ready to move while sitting in the driver's seat.

Glancing at the passenger seat through the rearview mirror, James curled his lips, "Although you are not the best wingman, I have no choice now."

Wingman?
Anson reacted immediately, "Alcohol is not your real purpose, right?"

Alcohol is just an excuse. What James is really interested in are the girls, so he needs a wingman to help cover.

James said confidently, "Isn't this a natural thing?" He changed the subject, "But when I go to the bar with you, all the girls are circling around you, just like bees seeing the Overlord flower, the situation is not good."

Anson couldn't hold back his laughter and said, "I thought you were very confident in yourself and could easily score touchdowns without a wingman."

James didn't mind at all, "Who knows what's going on with those girls. To be honest, I think you are just mediocre. You don't have one ten thousandth of my charm. Ah, forget it in Los Angeles. Girls in New York must not be blind. .”

Anson raised his chin slightly, "So, who is your best wingman? Don't tell me it's Seth Rogen."

James:…

"Haha." Anson smiled very happily.

At this moment, James was about to open his mouth to defend himself, but he found that the engine made a strange noise, as if he was coughing up phlegm that he couldn't cough up. Smoke began to come out from the hood of the car in front. James quickly turned on the turn signal, left the traffic and stopped on the side of the road. He didn't have time to stop. When it came to a complete stop, the car stalled.

It looked like it was ready to explode.

"No!"

James made a desperate protest.

Waiting and waiting, suppressing and suppressing, I have been being a good baby in the hotel during this period, pouring all my time and energy into the audition, and finally got a moment of vacation. Things should not be like this.

James wasn't ready to give up.

Looking at Anson leaning slowly by the car door, looking like he was on vacation in Hawaii, James was a little depressed. Anson always seemed to have the ability to remain calm in the face of any difficulties or problems. James didn't know how Anson did it. Anyway, he can’t——

His blood was boiling with rage now, and his head was about to explode.

No, I have to go to the bar tonight, he won't be affected.

First call a tow truck, then take a taxi to the bar, and the matter is solved. This is New York, how can you be helpless just because the engine stalls?

At this time, a dark blue Mini Cooper parked next to it.

"Hey gentlemen, need a little help?"

The car window was pulled down, revealing Alicia Witt's face, which was elegant and intellectual but had a mysterious and sexy temperament. A smile crept onto her lips.

Among the actors who auditioned for the screen, the 25-year-old Alicia is already the "oldest" and has the richest acting experience among them all. She was discovered by David Lynch at the age of five and appeared in the movie "Dune" From the beginning, she has been rolling in Hollywood, and she can be seen in countless works.

Today, Alicia and James teamed up to complete the screen audition performance. The degree of completion was very high. Compared with the seriously imbalanced cooperation between Anson and Kate, the chemical reaction and detail processing between them were more exciting.

This is why James is full of confidence.

After the audition, Alicia was called away alone by her agent. The two disappeared mysteriously, so they did not meet in the reception room, but they did not want to meet again on the street.

James took the initiative to come forward, "Hey, Alicia, we meet again."

After giving up his position slightly, James introduced him politely, "That's Anson."

Alicia waved to Anson, then looked at James, "Is there something wrong with the car?" James was delighted——

It can be seen from the reaction that Alicia is not interested in Anson. Her eyes fell on herself. James smiled brighter, showed a suave attitude, and chatted with Alicia.

After just a few words, James stood up straight and turned to look at Anson, "Man, Alicia will take us to the bar. Just leave the car here, and the insurance company will send someone over later."

speed!

Anson's eyes moved back and forth between James and Alicia. Lang was interested in concubine and they were in love with each other. He was obviously a light bulb. It would be unkind to follow them foolishly at this time.

A smile crept into his eyes.

Anson waved his hand, "Are you sure about this car?"

Alicia drives a Mini Cooper, and James' figure is already a bit reluctant to fit into it, while Anson is more than half a hand taller than James——

Although this is a four-seater, Anson probably had to curl up into a ball to fit it in.

Anson chuckled, "How about this, you go to the bar first, order good food and wine, and then welcome me."

Having said that, Anson and James exchanged glances:
You know and I know.

Obviously, Anson should not show up.

James smiled happily, "Man, are you sure?"

Anson looked at James, "No, I'm not sure, otherwise I should still go together?"

James immediately changed his expression and waved his hands repeatedly, "No, no, you are right. There is no need for you to huddle in the economy class. You can take your time."

With a quick step, James stepped forward, gave Anson a warm hug, and said in a low voice, "Thanks, brother."

Without stopping any longer, she turned around and got into the car. Alicia waved to Anson, and the two of them walked away.

In a blink of an eye, only Anson and the temporary car that did not belong to him were left on the roadside. The engine was still smoking. He had to stop amid the busy traffic, but there was a strange sense of purity and peace.

It just so happens that Anson is not in a hurry——

In the past few days, I have traveled from coast to coast and back again, experienced an award ceremony and a screen audition, and also had a night of hangover. Although my body did not protest, my spirit was tired.

It’s nice to have some leisure time and slow down a little.

Anson did not rush to leave, but stayed where he was, waiting for a tow truck.

In 2000, the biggest difference in daily life was the absence of smartphones.

If it were 2023, during such waiting time, people would often take out their mobile phones, play games, watch videos, read novels, chat with friends, and browse social networks. No matter what the activity, they could always pass the time and get into the screen.

And now?
He didn't want to take out his phone at all, but quietly admired the scene in front of him. He wasn't even sure where he was in Manhattan. It should be downtown, but he didn't know exactly where and which street.

He also didn't want to know.

Amidst the noise and roar, a melody of drum beats mixed with string sounds passed through the crowd, as if you could see the notes passing between the footsteps and the sun.

In a moment, he grabbed Anson's ear and looked over involuntarily following the sound.

　Second update.
