Chapter 1 April 1
Anson, traveled through time.
A second ago, he was taking the place of an actor in the crew to conduct a lighting test. He heard an exclamation of "be careful" in his ears, and then his vision went black and there was a sharp pain.
The next second, he appeared in a square bathroom box and fainted next to the toilet.
After sitting on the toilet seat for a full fifteen minutes, Anson sorted out the situation from the chaotic memory of the original owner. He came from the Magic City in 2023 to Los Angeles in 2000——
It's April 1st, but it's not an April Fool's joke.
Anson-Wood, the original owner came to a production company to audition due to the recommendation of Darren-Star, but the specific work, role and situation were as follows His mushy brain was completely empty, with no useful information at all.
Looking down at the Nokia candy bar phone, "the most lethal weapon in history" in his hand, the weight of it falling heavily in the palm of his hand was particularly real.
Easy.
The sound of the door being pushed came from the bathroom, and the ongoing conversation was cut from the outside into the room.
"...Didn't the audition work at Central-Casting end two days ago? I thought the filming of episode 21 would be next Monday. Yesterday, I heard that there was a quarrel on the set, saying that the filming time was too long. Tight, now the audition is dragging on, what’s going on?”
“Haha, if you are an actor recommended by Jennifer Aniston on the phone, you can be two days late? Audition again."
"Oh, Jennifer, it's Jennifer again! This is not the first time. If other actors find out, there will probably be another quarrel."
"Wait. Wait, isn’t it? Aren’t she and Brad planning to get married? I thought she had given up those habits! Could it be that the recent scandals on the set are about him?”
"As you can see, he didn't go to the central audition at all, but was received by David himself. If the producer could receive him in person, wouldn't the answer come out? To be honest, I think today's audition was just a formality. ”
"Ah, no wonder!"
"What's wrong?"
"Didn't you hear? There was a commotion in the writing team yesterday. I heard that the top screenwriter and David They closed the office door and pointed their noses and cursed. The atmosphere has been tense recently, and yesterday there was almost a fight. It turned out that David was blocking the gun for Jennifer."
"No, no, no, no, why should I? I heard he was recommended by Darren?”
“Darren?”
"Darren Star?"
"Oh, that Darren."
"You didn't hear about that rumor, right?"
"What, Darren?" Is Lun the pretty boy’s sugar daddy?”
“No, he is Darren’s godson”
"Oh, another Emma Roberts? Jesus Christ, Hollywood is running out of room for all these skinny-headed connections."
The thin door panels don't have any space at all The sound insulation effect, or to be more precise, the closed space of the bathroom is like an amphitheater, with its own surround effect, and the rustling conversations can penetrate into the ears without missing a word.
The amount of information is a bit large.
Darren Star, Anson thought this name sounded familiar just now, and now he finally remembered it.
As a producer, he once launched popular TV series such as "90210" and "Across the Sea" in the 1990s, and reached the peak of his career with "Sex and the City" at the turn of the century.
For young audiences, the most familiar one should be "Emily in Paris" he produced in 2020.
So, this work in which the producer is named David and Jennifer Aniston is a member of the cast is -
"Friends"!
I have heard rumors before that the crew of "Friends" is not as harmonious as it seems on the surface. Jennifer Aniston, who became famous with the series, has a special status and can even influence the decisions of the producers. Now watch It didn't come out of nowhere.
So, Darren Star recommended the original showrunner to his friend David Crane, the producer of "Friends", to get him a role in the series. However, this audition opportunity caused waves on the crew, intensifying conflicts between the producer and screenwriter teams, and even brewing a storm. In the end, David took control of the situation:
Insist that the original owner come to audition today.
Aha!
So, what should we do next?
Excuse me, what should I do if I take the elephant out of the refrigerator?
Now, he is going to do this——
The first step is to open the door.
The second step is to leave the bathroom.
Just do it, stop the posture of the thinker statue, stand up and tidy up your clothes, sweep the white powder scattered around into the toilet and flush it away. The conversation outside is suddenly interrupted by the sound of flushing water. Well, Anson didn't hesitate and opened the compartment door directly.
Air, very quiet.
The three people standing in front of the urinal turned around and looked at the source of the sound. They were stunned and their jaws were dislocated. They obviously did not expect this scene.
Frank-Simons' brain stopped for a moment, and he subconsciously wanted to scold and take control of the situation preemptively.
However, when I saw the man in front of me, my voice was stuck in my throat——
Those deep and clear blue eyes were like the Aegean Sea filled with sunshine on a midsummer August afternoon. The sparkling brightness is filled with a bit of laziness and refreshing, which makes people relax involuntarily and easily catch the attention of others.
Obviously it was this man who was "eavesdropping", and at this time he was completely defeated in a one-on-three match, but this man exuded a kind of calmness and calmness, with no trace of panic, and all the pressure was gone in one fell swoop. Pushing the three of them, they realized that the current situation didn't seem good.
They were caught on the spot for gossiping. The scolding voice could not come out.
Then.
The man walked to the sink in just two or three steps with his long and tall legs. He was at least 6.2 feet (188 centimeters) tall by visual inspection. The pressure that hit his face gave way after a short distance. The three men in front of the pool felt extremely uncomfortable and involuntarily took a small step back.
“Ah!”
Frank felt a warmth coming from his calf, and his pants got wet.
A turn.
"Ah! Ahhh!"
Shooting everywhere.
The ground is in a mess.
Frank looked down at the pants where he was drawing the map, and almost couldn't catch his breath. When he turned his head, he just saw the tall and upright figure passing by, and he didn't even realize that he was moving inside. He took a small step and made way for the passage.
When he came to his senses, there was a moment of suffocation, and a chuckle came from his ears.
“Slip carefully.”
Frank: You!
A face turned red and his fists were clenched, but before he could raise them, the man's figure had disappeared.
Outside the door.
There was a mess of swear words coming from behind. Even though he couldn't see anything, he could still describe the chaos inside. Anson let out a breath.
The "elephant" has left the "refrigerator", so what's next?
Emma Roberts?
Her aunt is the Hollywood superstar Julia-Roberts. It is because of her aunt that she got acting opportunities at a young age and entered Hollywood early.
The same is true for Anson Wood.
Darren Star is not Anson's godfather, but he is a good friend of the Woods. It can be said that he watched him grow up, learned that Anson was interested in acting, and took the initiative to introduce Anson to audition opportunities. Anyway, Darren Star It was just a phone call away, and today's opportunity came about.
In his previous life, he was an ordinary worker on a film crew. He stood behind the camera and watched the actors under the spotlight, surrounded by cheers and applause. The income from one day's work was more than he could ever touch in his entire life. After touching the number, he could only stand in the mud and look up at the stars.
But he didn’t expect that now he would actually have the opportunity to go from behind the scenes to the front of the stage, not as a substitute, but to stand in front of the camera as his own identity? And when I return to the age of eighteen, a new and bright future opens before my eyes, everything starts anew.
The steps stopped slightly, adjusted the direction, and walked towards the corridor without hesitation.
It was only then that Anson had the opportunity to take a good look at his surroundings——
With long and narrow corridors, messy props, broken lighting, and staff coming and going without touching the ground, the film and television production company is just like other companies, there is nothing special about it.
At the end of the corridor, there is a glass-walled office. The blinds are all drawn down, and there is another separate desk at the door. The desktop is filled with various documents and three landline phones.
Based on experience, it should be the office of the senior leader, but at this time there was no one in front of the secretary’s desk, and the staff coming and going didn’t mind, they just left the files in their hands on the table. Go up, then turn around and leave. Chaos also has its own way of operating.
Anson stepped forward and sat down on the chair against the wall opposite the secretary's desk. He collected his thoughts for a while and tried to awaken more information about the audition——
Since it is an audition, what kind of work is it? What role? Do you request the audition footage in advance or do you prepare it yourself?
However, before his thoughts had time to unfold, the office door opened. Anson looked over reflexively, but no one came out. He just held the door handle and turned his back to the door to look inside. An irritated voice came from inside.
"...What the hell are you kidding?"
"Yes, I know, but..."
"I told them plainly that I am a A small role is enough, but now they are changing the outline for one role. Isn’t this a bunch of idiots asking for trouble? If the skylight is opened for filming next Monday, I will let them all go to the streets to beg for food.”
"But, are you sure it doesn't matter? That's Darren Star, a casual little character..."
"What about Darren - hell - Star, this is my show, you know? NBC is not like HBO, where we are looking at the ratings every week, and you can just pick some unknown person to be a guest, If the ratings plummet, will you wipe my ass, or will Darren Star lick my ass?"
"David, now..."
"You let them first? Continue to finish the script. Get out! Get out, get out!"
After saying that, the man quickly left the office and closed the door, and then there was a muffled banging sound inside, and the glass wall shook slightly.
The man turned around and saw Anson. He was about to speak, but he didn't expect that the door to the room actually opened again, and the horse face that was tanned by sunbathing and had some freckles poked out, his brows furrowed. , the anger still has not dissipated.
"Frank? Frank!"
"Where's Anson? When is the appointment time? If he hasn't shown up yet, just push it back half an hour. I need to make a few calls."
In the midst of rage, a figure slowly stood up, tall and elegant, with a faint smile on his lips.
"Good morning, Mr. Klein."
