Chapter 673: Full Charm
Everything goes smoothly! Invincible!
Little Frank's "criminal life" finally kicked off, and he slowly began to learn to use his handsomeness and charm to achieve his goals through shortcuts -
He was not only able to make beautiful flight attendants It's easy to dump, and you can also ask the beautiful bank teller to educate you on the expertise of checking.
Anson Wood on the movie screen shows a side that has never been shown before. Whether it is "Princess Diaries" or "Spider-Man", handsomeness is not the character's signature feature. To a certain extent, Anson even needs He conceals his edge; but the film gave Anson a platform.
Steven Spielberg used close-ups to fully demonstrate Anson's charm on the big screen.
When those clear and bright blue eyes gaze lovingly into the camera, the soft golden brown hair, the distinctive facial features, and the bright and clear smile are like the willows in early summer falling on the quiet lake. The sunshine surges sparsely and gently, but it makes people lose themselves in it.
Poof. Plop.
The heart hits the chest hard.
Not just women, even men cannot deny that this scene is really pleasing to the eye.
For a moment, Melvin once again remembered the first time he and Anson met, standing in the sun, sweating profusely, smiling brightly, like Apollo; after a moment of trance, his attention returned to the big screen, and unknowingly Enter the big screen as soon as you wake up and immerse yourself in the story.
It must be said that Anson was born for the big screen.
Finally, Frank Jr. purchased a special typewriter for bank checks through a bankruptcy auction. From ink to fonts, he fully entered the professional field. This allowed Frank Jr. to forge checks more freely and boldly according to his own needs. Forging paychecks and personal checks.
The principle is not complicated, the point is that no one has ever used it before.
There is a set of data in the lower left corner of the check, a routing code, specifically used to identify the geographical location of the check-issuing bank.
The coding starts from Boston on the east coast and goes from north to south along the entire coastline, from 01 to 06 respectively; and then moves to the west.
If the routing code of a check is 02, then the check will be sent to the bank's New York branch for cashing; but if the routing code is changed to 12, then the check will be sent to the bank's San Francisco branch. cash.
In the 1960s when transportation and communications were underdeveloped, it often took two weeks or even longer for a check to be sent from the East Coast to the West Coast for cashing.
This means that Frank Jr. cashed a check with routing code 12 in New York. For the next two weeks, the bank had no idea that a forged check had appeared; he had enough time to change cities. Change banks and continue cashing bad checks under a different identity.
This makes little Frank really become a "pilot"——
Traveling to different cities, staying in different hotels, entering and exiting different high-end occasions, surrounded by beautiful women, spending generously, being free and unrestrained, like a winner in life.
Because of this, little Frank finally plucked up the courage to face his family. He kindly invited Frank Sr. to meet at a high-end restaurant in New York.
However, the father who was aloof, omniscient and omnipotent in his memory suddenly became shrinking, small and... old.
He didn’t know the correct way to use cutlery in the restaurant; when Frank Jr. gave the keys to a brand new Cadillac to his father as a gift, his father was worried about the consequences of the tax bureau knowing about it, so he confiscated the car again. The key was pushed back; he didn't even have the confidence to get his mother back.
Little Frank was a little panicked.
He tried to comfort his father, but was unable to offer anything except money.
In the end, it was his father who comforted him.
What little Frank didn't know was that just as his father became a thorn in the tax bureau's sight and did not dare to move easily, he also attracted the attention of the FBI.
To make matters worse, his unusual behavior in Hollywood attracted the attention of the FBI, which sent three agents to the hotel to investigate. He was about to expose himself——
In the screening room, people could not help but watch Breathe lightly.
The reason is that among the three detectives who went to Hollywood, there was Carl Hanratty, the man who finally succeeded in arresting Frank Jr.
So, little Frank was caught so easily? However, the movie has been playing for less than an hour. If Frank Jr. is arrested so easily, what will happen next? How is the court trial?
A little curiosity, a little nervousness and a little anticipation made the audience stare at the big screen.
Then they were not disappointed.
Not only did it not happen, but there was also a surprise. The whole audience witnessed a magic trick——
Just like the transformation into a living person, little Frank was blocked in the room by Carl and even pointed at gunpoint; With wit, calmness and courage, he calmly deceived Carl into spinning around, took control of the situation with ease, and created a well-founded law enforcement identity.
"...Barry Allen, United States Secret Service."
Poof.
Melvin couldn't hold it back and almost vomited from laughter: Barry Allen, The Flash.
Perhaps, in the distant 1964, The Flash comics were not so famous; but in 2002, superhero comics already have more and more readers.
Moreover, the Flash is a DC character, and Spider-Man played by Anson is a Marvel character.
The intertextuality inside and outside the play forms a wonderful contrast.
Melvin was not the only one. There was a rustle in the screening room, and a muffled chuckle spread in the air.
In the end, little Frank walked away unscathed.
In the first confrontation of "Frank Jr. VS Carl", Frank Jr., the super liar, won completely, making Carl look like a rookie.
The movie suddenly became interesting -
To be precise, the movie was originally very interesting, but now it is even more interesting and enjoyable.
On the one hand, FBI executives believe that Carl’s description of the suspect is too general. No criminal record has been found so far. Continuing the investigation will undoubtedly be a needle in a haystack. Although they did not stop Carl, they are obviously worried about Carl. It's humiliating itself.
This only aroused Karl's arrogance.
On one side, little Frank turned his mind to the pilot's pension check and tried to repeat his old tricks to improve his plan by interviewing retired pilots. However, he unexpectedly learned that he had become the headline of major news, and his criminal behavior had caused too much trouble. Pay more attention.
“…they called him the James Bond of the Sky.”
This inspired little Frank.
He realized that he could no longer continue to commit high-risk crimes. He needed to leave the aviation field for a while and he needed to forge a new identity.
Maybe, James Bond?
When little Frank was watching a 007 movie in the cinema to supplement his knowledge of secret agents, low laughter surged once again in the screening room of the Chinese Theater.
So, is this some bad taste from Steven Spielberg?
Compared with Frank Jr.'s lively life as an agent, Carl's life seems particularly miserable. The life of a miserable clerk is pitiful. He is still working in the office even on Christmas Eve.
But Karl didn’t expect that little Frank would actually call him.
"Little Frank VS Carl 2.0" is coming faster than expected.
