274 Midnight Surprise

The rich night became more and more boisterous because of the precipitation of midnight, but the noise did not become depressed by the advancement of time. On the contrary, it became more and more lively, more and more noisy, and more and more boiling. This was Friday night, the carnival night, and the pressure and irritability that had accumulated for a whole week were completely released tonight. After midnight, the party had just begun, and the noisy scene on the streets was turbulent. [

"Michael, the order for table seven can be brought over." The bartender's voice came from the bartender. Michael Fassbender turned around and then looked at the guest in front of him again, "So, a plate of seafood fried rice cakes, a plate of potato chips, and two glasses of beer." After confirming the order, Michael quickly walked towards the bartender, handed the order to the bartender, and then picked up the plate and walked towards table seven.

Before he could put down the thing, a guest shout came from behind him, "Waitress, clean up the table here." Michael responded, but found that the bar was too noisy. He had to yell. After the roar, his throat was itchy and his vocal cords were exhausted for a night, but he had no time to rest.

After Michael quickly put the things on the plate on the seventh table, he turned around and walked over quickly. Then he couldn't help but pause. He only saw the mess on the table in his sight. Michael felt his stomach rolling - the wine glass was filled with vomit, and a large ball of tissue was stuffed into it, so that the vomit overflowed. The French fries platter next to him was sprinkled with tomato sauce and seafood sauce, and there were also scattered vomit like a scattered flower in the sky, with cigarette butts and saliva spitting directly on it.

For a moment, Michael wanted to overturn the table, swear swearing, and then turned around and left with a proud look. But he knew he could not. He originally thought that his life would undergo earth-shaking changes after the release of "the day after tomorrow". But the cruel reality told him that the so-called Hollywood fairy tale was just a beautiful dream woven in the movie. He is still a little actor, still a small character running between countless auditions.

Taking a deep breath, Michael took another deep breath, then walked forward and said to the guest standing next to him, "Sorry, I'll go get the trash can and clean up." Then he quickly walked towards the bar. The phone in his pocket vibrated. Michael lowered his head and took out his phone. He glanced at it. It was an unfamiliar number, but before he could think about it, the guest behind him began to urge him again. Michael could only put the phone in his pocket and then continued to get busy.

This is always the case every Friday. Even though there were five waiters on duty, the entire bar was still busy. Before a table of guests could leave, the table of guests was already waiting. There were still twenty or thirty guests gathered at the door, each holding a bottle of beer in his hand and talking in a daze. The atmosphere was very lively.

Michael looked down and looked at the tip he had just received. It was only seven percent - this was the minimum standard tip, and all waiters had to share equally. After this ratio was higher than that, Michael let out a sigh of relief - boys had indeed had much less tips than girls. But he had no choice. If he didn't work, he would have no source of income.

Not long ago, he played a small role in "The Day Afternoon". He could get a $50,000 salary, but he only paid 10,000 before the movie was released. The remaining part had to be paid into the account after the movie was offline - and taxes were deducted, which also means that he did not have much money left recently.

Michael Fassbender calmed down and started to get busy again. Finally, he was not that busy. All the bars were full, and the guests at the door all had a beer. At least Michael could take a breath, smoke a cigarette, and then come back and continue to be busy.

"Frank." Michael shouted to the bartender, made a smoking gesture, and then walked towards the alley behind. After turning into the alley, he followed up with trivial steps. When he looked back, he narrowed his eyes and said, "What's wrong?"

Jessica Chastain (Jes private ca-chastain) had an excited expression on his face and ran to Michael with a brisk pace, then leaned against the wall, "I'm finished smoking my cigarette, give me one." When the pressure was huge, they would gather here to enjoy the leisure of a cigarette.

Michael handed one to Jessica, then took one of them himself, lit it up, and took out the phone, checked the missed call just now, looked at the number, and tried to awaken the memory in his mind. Jessica, who was standing next to him, glanced at Michael, and found that he had no intention of speaking. After all, she couldn't help it and bit her lower lip and said, "Hey, let me tell you a message. I haven't told anyone yet, but..."

There was an irrepressible excitement in the simple words. Michael raised his head and saw Jessica nodding slightly, with joy in his eyebrows, "But it's confirmed that I've got the first role in my life."

"Oh, God!" Michael glared across his eyes, "Congratulations!" After saying that, he realized that he was a little hasty and immediately gave Jessica a hug, "I mean it, congratulations!"

In Hollywood, eight out of 100 of the waiters are young people who dream of acting, especially those in Beverly Hills and Century City, where celebrities appear. Everyone is holding the dream of "suddenly being discovered by a scout and then becoming famous in one fell swoop", looking forward to being able to get close to those top stars. However, there are only a handful of people who can succeed.

Jessica is the same age as Michael, but compared to Michael, Jessica's dream of being an actor is even more bumpy. At least, Michael played the role of "Brothers" and also had many scenes in "the day after tomorrow". Thanks to the recent hit movie, someone could recognize him when he was working in a bar recently; but Jessica has never received any role, not even a supporting role - Hollywood's discrimination and harshness towards women are everywhere.

Today, Jessica got her first role, and Michael was naturally really happy for her, "Tell me, tell me all the details!"

"Don't be so serious, just a small role." Jessica also seemed a little shy, but she still plucked up the courage to say, "It's a TV movie called Shadow, where I play a small role. I think maybe this is a good start, maybe I can find an agent."

Michael has not found an agent so far. In Los Angeles, there are so many people who want to become famous stars, and so many fake agents who want to deceive their dreams. Of course, there are many regular agents who have found Michael. He had an agent before, but after he never got the opportunity to perform, Michael could no longer pay the fee for hiring an agent, so he returned to singleness, but unexpectedly took over the "day day after tomorrow". After that, Michael seemed much more cautious in choosing an agent.

"Of course, of course." Michael grinned and laughed, revealing his white teeth. "This is a great start. Tell me everything, hurry up, tell me all the details of the audition." Michael couldn't wait to say, and Jessica was eager to speak, but the phone in Michael's hand began to vibrate again at this time. Michael looked down at the phone. It was the strange number he didn't know just now!

"Respond to the phone!" Jessica widened her eyes and said naturally. Seeing that Michael was still hesitant, she encouraged her again, "You have been restless tonight. Isn't it because of this phone call?" Jessica obviously noticed Michael's distraction.

Although it is already midnight now and the person who calls must be an acquaintance, Michael still finds it difficult to concentrate. He is always worried that it will be a call from the crew or the actors will call. Even if he knows that this is absolutely impossible, his inner hope will inevitably boil...

Michael spread his hands and gave Jessica an apology smile, "Sorry, I answered this call quickly, you promise to tell me all the details of the audition." Jessica nodded vigorously, and then Michael answered the call, "Good evening, this is Michael."

"Good evening, this is Lancelot."

Michael was stunned and didn't react at all. When Jessica saw Michael in a daze, she leaned over and threw her head into her inquiring eyes. Michael then came to her senses, "Uh... Yes, good evening, I mean, Mr. Strello." Michael only felt that he was incoherent and incoherent, and had no idea what he was thinking, "Do you have something to ask me for?"

On the "Day Day Afternoon", Lance is always an absolutely authoritative director, and he rarely contacts the actors privately. Of course, even if Lance has a close relationship with the actors, Michael's level has not reached this level, so there is no way to know. At this moment, Michael had never expected that Lance would call himself - so the caller ID of the mobile phone was an unfamiliar number.

"There is one... see how you......" Lance's words came intermittently from the other end of the phone. Michael had to walk towards the entrance of the alley, but what was accompanied by the noisy sound of the bar. The lively scene swept away the coldness of the night. When I finally could hear it clearly, Lance had already stopped. Michael couldn't help feeling embarrassed, "Sorry, the signal was bad just now, I didn't hear it clearly."

Because the surroundings are very noisy, Michael shouted, and then he heard a low laugh from the other end of the phone, like a canoe sailing on the sea late at night, but the tiny waves were so clear. "I'm planning a new movie project, and there's a role in your hand that suits you very well. So ask, if you're willing to play, you can sign a contract at the company tomorrow."

Wow, wow... The sound of waves that did not exist were mixed with the crowds of people, thrusting Michael into the sky little by little. The floating feeling of being in the sky seemed to clearly feel the strong wind swarming from all directions, making him want to spread his wings and fly high, but before he could kick his legs, he felt the emptiness of not being able to reach the world or the ground, as if everything was just a dream.
