In the end, Chris left in the early morning, before dawn. He even stubbornly refused to let me send it.
But at least I know that there is no dangerous person in the vicinity except for the accident of David. The security in the small town is also good. Otherwise, I really dare not let him leave like this.
Unlike many pathological sociopaths, I'm actually not really interested in destroying the good things in the world. If it's because of the principles Harry Morgan gave him that Dexter only stares at the bad guys who get away with the law. So I have to proudly say that I still have the moral code of a normal person in my heart.
It might be funny to say that a sociopath has a moral code, but after what happened to David, I really thought I was saved. At least it's not sick enough to make me hate it myself.
And Chris? He's also been through the pain, darkness, and shadows that life creates, but he's mentally cleaner than mine, influenced by Brian's personality traits. It was so clean that I couldn't bear to get closer.
I didn't lie to him in the end. I really can't date a fixed boyfriend because of Brian's personality. If I date him now, it is estimated that the relationship won't last long. Because now I am too selfish and don't care about anything, how can I maintain the relationship between the two
That bad situation, I really don't want to try.
Using Chris to try to break out of my inner shadow made me feel very guilty about him. But soon, the part that belonged to Brian convinced me to stop caring.
I put my energies back into my studies and the modelling job I usually got. Chris hasn't contacted me for a while. It was as if he had suddenly disappeared from my life.
Not long after, during my first semester break at Stanford, a reply from the Survivor program team arrived. I passed their primaries and went through another interview to make a selection.
I bought a plane ticket to New York again, simply packed a few days' luggage and set off again.
Just after 12:00 noon, it only took me two hours to get out of the New York airport, and I put down my luggage and packed myself in a small hotel that I saw in advance, which was somewhat remote but also good and cheap.
Immediately after that, it was time for the interview at 16 o'clock in the afternoon. It didn't take long, the interviewer seemed to be notified in time slots, and it was my turn after five people arrived at the place.
"Hello, please take a seat." There were four people sitting in the interview room, and the only woman among them waved her hands in a please gesture and said. "Is your name Brian?"
When I entered this room, I glanced at the four people in the circle with my casual eyes. The woman who speaks is dressed in a strong and professional manner, but it is her who speaks first, which means that if she is not too eager to control the overall situation, she is the one with the lowest status among the four, presiding over the scene.
The man on the far left I know is the host of Survivors. In fact, he is also the producer of Survivor at the same time, and he has a great say in the selection of players. The woman who came over and skipped the opening in turn, a middle-aged man who didn't seem to be very interested in the interview. Some of them were fat, and when they saw me coming in, they didn't look up at the first time. They just looked at the information in their hands bored.
It should be the representative of the investor, I thought quietly on my face. Although he doesn't seem to be interested in interviews, the words that touch him are likely to change other people's minds at one time.
After all, the largest investor in the world is the largest, and what the investor cares most about is to invest the least to get more income. This is a good strategy for me, who has participated in a reality show and has a certain popularity advantage.
The last man, I saw a picture of him while I was doing more research on the Survivor show online. He is the lead director of Survivor and also holds the editing rights for the show. If you want to stop being busy in the show, but only have a few scenes, in addition to your own efforts, it is inevitable to leave a good impression on this person.
"Yes, ma'am." I had a mild smile on my lips, and I didn't introduce myself too eagerly, nor did I appear to be lacking in interest.
After all, my interview time was close to off-duty time, which means they at least interviewed a long line of people in front. Except for a small number of survivors who want to have a pure experience and do not expect to win the championship. Most of the people have the same idea as me, pass the interview and participate in the competition, win the championship, get the bonus, and improve their lives.
This means that they must be eager to introduce and prove themselves from the very beginning. If it is the beginning of a one-day interview, perhaps such an eager self-recommendation can make a big impression on these people, and if they perform well, they may be passed on the spot. But when they have repeatedly behaved in the same way throughout the day, such behavior will make them irritable and bad things.
Sure enough, I didn't introduce myself like a barrage of bullets at the beginning, so that the wrinkles between the brows of the woman who opened her mouth were loosened. The investor representative sitting next to her also looked up at this time, then his eyes lit up and he sat up straight.
As a representative of investors, especially those who invest in this kind of reality show, it is natural to know that in addition to the wonderful program programming, it is very important to have one or two attractive people among the contestants. After all, it is the time to look at the face.
But in the first few seasons, there has been one after another big beautiful girl playing the role of seductive, and the old-fashioned beauty trick has been criticized all the time. So, this season they wanted to do something special, especially a few more good-looking male contestants.
"Introduce yourself a little bit, I saw in your bio that you participated in the latest issue of America's Next Top Model. This pre-recorded program just started airing recently, right? Why do you suddenly want to participate again? What about the survivors?" The woman looked at the file in her hand and said.
Of course, it is to get familiar with the audience and gain popularity. I blinked, knowing that it was impossible to say what I thought. "In the America's Next Top Model, I withdrew from the competition for personal reasons. My former colleague had an accident, and I was forced to withdraw because of the police investigation. This made me lose an opportunity that was very important to me, and I was a little unwilling. ."
I spoke out the reason for the halfway withdrawal in a calm tone, lest they misunderstand me as an irresponsible contestant. After all, it is necessary for the police to investigate, and it is also a last resort in order to assist in handling the case, no wonder I.
"And the reality show Survivor has always been one of my favorite shows. In the intense schedule of the competition, in addition to the theme of wilderness survival, it is actually a social game of human intrigue. And I have just become a A Stanford psychology student was very interested in such social games.”
I'll start with the survivors themselves, after all, no one doesn't like what others appreciate about them. What's more, like America's Next Top Model, even the qualifications are different from the reality show that came out. Survivors interview contestants the same way they interview company employees. If you want to participate in this show, you have to have them give you this opportunity.
Showing interest in the other party's company is the most basic part of the interview. Immediately afterwards, I casually brought out a little bit of my own information, reflecting why I am suitable for participating in the Survivor program.
"The bonus that the last survivors will receive can also greatly ease my financial situation. As an orphan, although I have a grant from Stanford University, I am still a little stretched in life. If I have the opportunity to participate in this program The show, I will definitely do the best I can." At the end, while expressing his determination, there are also some words of sympathy.
At this moment, the director sitting next to him suddenly laughed and said, "It's a model again, and a psychology student at Stanford University. If he is admitted, I don't know which group to put him in."
The host Jeff also put his hands and elbows on the table, straightened up and said with a smile: "As an orphan who can work hard to this extent alone, when he entered Stanford University, he has to praise the survivors in life. If he If you really compete, it should be very interesting.”
I watched them discussing by themselves, and my expression did not change in the slightest, while the representatives of the investors who were excluded from the discussion were looking at me with interest.
I had a thought in my mind, and suddenly turned my head slightly to look at the other person, and smiled at him with raised eyebrows. He seemed kind and caring about his appearance.
The other party also smiled back subconsciously, then turned to look at the three people who were discussing and said, "How about this quota? At least for most of the day, he is the best performer I have ever seen. , Compared with those blonde girls, there is still one more brainy male model, which can increase the strength of the beauty group, right?"
I blinked, and when the other three heard the words of the investor representative and looked over, they returned an innocent smile. beauty group? I was thinking about it in my heart, based on the director's words just now, scrutinizing it like this. It seems that the type of grouping this time is no longer the same as before, random grouping, male and female grouping, geographical grouping and the like.
Seems like it might have something to do with beauty and intelligence? After all, what the director said just now is because I am a model and I am a student at Stanford University, and I don’t know which group to put me in.
Maybe it was the blessing of taking off my impressive calendar, or maybe the words of the investor representative were the last straw that broke the camel's back. Before I could do any more effort, my eligibility for the competition was set by the layout.
Shortly after I left the interview room, I saw that the contestants who were in line after me were sent out in despair. The official shooting of Survivor will begin in two months. It happened to be the final break of the first semester of college, and as I expected, it was the perfect time.
