Chapter 226: The Act of Recognition
The screen audition has finally come to an end.
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 take a break and adjust for the next few hours or even days?
James Franco desperately needs some alcohol time.
For him, this is very 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, James is really interested in the girls, so he needs a wingman , a partner who helps cover.
James said confidently, "Isn't this a natural thing?" He changed the topic, "But when I go to the bar with you, all the girls are circling around you, just like bees seeing the King of Flowers. 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 those girls do? That's the case. To be honest, I think you are just average, and you are not even one ten thousandth as charming as me. Forget it, girls in New York should not be blind."
Anson raised his head slightly. He raised his jaw, "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 couldn't cough up phlegm, and the hood of the car in front began to smoke. James quickly turned on the turn signal and left the traffic on the side of the road. After stopping, the car stalled before it could come to a complete stop.
It looked like it was ready to explode.
“No!”
James protested desperately.
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 is not ready to give up.
Looking at Anson leaning slowly by the car door and 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 dilemma or problem. James didn't know that Anson How to do it, he can't do it anyway -
He is now boiling with blood and furious, and his head is 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, do you need a little help?”
The car window rolled down, revealing Alicia Witt’s face that was elegant and intellectual but had a mysterious and sexy temperament. , a smile crept up the corner of his mouth.
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 has been discovered by David Lynch since she was five years old. She has been rolling in Hollywood since appearing in the movie "Dune" and 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 also the reason why James is full of confidence.
After the audition, Alicia was called away alone by her agent, and 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 stepped forward and said, "Hey, Alicia, we meet again."
Moving aside slightly, James introduced him politely, "That's Anson."

Alicia waved towards Anson, then looked at James, "Is there something wrong with the car?" James was overjoyed——
It can be seen from Alicia's reaction that 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.
The smile creeps into the eyes.
Anson waved his hand, "Are you sure about this car?"
Alicia drove a Mini Cooper, and James' body was already a bit reluctant to fit in, and Anson is more than half a hand taller than James -
Although this is a four-seater, Anson probably needs to curl up into a ball to fit it in.
Anson chuckled lightly, "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 a look:
You know and I know.
Obviously, Anson should not show up.
James showed a happy smile, "Man, are you sure?"
Anson looked at James, "No, I'm not sure, or should I still go together?"
James immediately changed his color 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 step, James stepped forward, gave Anson a warm hug, and said in a low voice, "Thanks, brother"
No longer staying. , 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 in 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 been traveling from coast to coast, and back again, experiencing an award ceremony and a screen audition, and a night of hangovers. , although the body did not protest, the spirit was tired.
It’s good to have some leisure time and slow down a little.
Anson did not leave in a hurry, but stayed where he was, waiting for the tow truck.
In 2000, the biggest difference in daily life was that there were no 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 was not even sure where he was in Manhattan. It should be downtown, but he had absolutely no clue about which location or street. Know——
He doesn’t want to know either.
Amidst the noise and roar, a melody of drum beats and string sounds moved 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.
