"Thor".

Just seeing this cover, Chris's heart beat fast and slammed hard against his chest. It was so intense that his chest felt stuffy and painful. The surging excitement was too sudden and too fierce. , people were caught off guard, as if the sternum was about to shatter.

The pupils began to slowly expand, and the storm of thoughts in his mind made Chris fall into a state of panic.

Recently, there has been a lot of news about the casting of "Thor" in the industry, and there has been a lot of buzz about the selection of the actor Sol. The latest news is updated almost every day. Qing, can definitely be said to be the hottest project in the near future - and it is also a top production without a doubt.

So far, the rumored scandals include Brad Pitt, Channing Tatum (g-Tatum), Daniel-Craig (Daniel-Craig), Charlie-Hunnam (Charlie-Hunnam), Alexander Skarsgard, Joel-Kinnaman and more.

Even top entertainment magazines like "Entertainment Weekly" have focused their attention on the casting of "Thor".

Not only that, Paramount Pictures and Marvel Studios valued this work very much, and they even invited Keh-Branagh to helm the director.

Kenneth is not a commercial director. He is a typical British drama director. He is good at scene scheduling and artistic precipitation. As early as 20 years ago, he won the Oscar for best director with his self-written and directed "Henry V". Nominated for Best Actor and Best Actor, his works always retain the characteristics of the stage play, and are filled with the realism of the film, not only in Hollywood, but also in the world. He is also a well-recognized director-cum-actor.

The original comics of "Thor" were inspired by Norse mythology. It can be seen that Paramount Pictures invited Kenneth to inject a sense of Shakespeare's epic into the film, creating a word-of-mouth and sweeping the box office. commercial blockbuster.

Chris stayed in Los Angeles for more than a month, mainly for "Thor"! Not only him, but also his brother Liam-Hemsworth was aggressively trying to get the role, but the problem is, they didn't even get the chance to audition!

Yes, they are running around in Los Angeles, managing everywhere, and their agents are constantly looking for ways, just to win the opportunity to show themselves in front of the producers, and then successfully become the leading actor of the top big production. Because Chris clearly knows that his previous works in Hollywood were just petty jokes and could not be compared with "Thor" at all. From the weight of investment, to the preparation of casts, and even to the airtight audition invitation, everything was It shows that this is a work that can make any unknown person soar into the sky!

This is the ultimate goal of his development in Hollywood, isn't it

But as expected, the threshold for Marvel Studios is very high. Chris's agent took a lot of effort to hear about the audition, but it is difficult to get on the waiting list for the audition. At present, those who have been invited to audition are all the key targets pushed by the five major brokerage companies. Even newcomers, the brokers behind them are extremely powerful, and they are not comparable to Chris at all.

After tossing for a month, he was still empty-handed and had nothing, and finally he could only come back to New York in despair. Liam still stayed in Los Angeles to investigate, and he would be notified at any time when there was news.

But now, the script of "Thor" appeared in front of him like this, so close at hand, Chris felt that his brain capacity was not enough for a while, as if the whole world was falling apart.

So, what the hell is going on here

Could it be... Could it be that Renly was invited to audition for Thor? Marvel Studios even took the initiative to submit the script to Renly? And still Renly without the help of an agent? Could it be that Renly entered the vision of Paramount Pictures just by virtue of a "Pacific War"? Or are the two producers, Tom and Steven, behind the scenes for Renly? Could it be that Renly, who insisted on polishing himself off-Broadway, was finally seen to be talented - Kenneth became famous through Shakespeare's plays? So, did Renly agree? Or refused

Seeing the script just casually placed on the bookshelf, it doesn't seem to be taken seriously. Does it mean that Renly refused

From Chris's point of view, Renly is an idealist. He has unrealistic dreams and refuses to compromise with reality. To make matters worse, Renly may not even have the strength - anyway, he doesn't have it. Seeing the reason, the performance in "Pacific War" was also mediocre.

In the past year, it has always been the case. He has always been one step ahead of Renly in the development of his career, or even three or four steps. He has become the leading star of the movie, and he is still working with big names like Sean Bean. , and the next step is to become the leading actor in a top-level production, just like... a work like "Thor".

As for Renly, he has just finished his first work, and it's still a TV series. His career has just started, and it's extremely slow, not to mention becoming the leading actor in a big production, even the next work. It's not that easy. The distance between them is increasing little by little, and the speed of expansion is still increasing.

But the reality is that the "Thor" script is lying on Renly's bookshelf, whether or not Steven Spielberg is behind it, or whether it's the performance of "War in the Pacific" that moves Kenneth Boo Rana, or whatever, none of that matters, what matters is that Renly got an audition offer and he didn't.

Recalling the taunting and teaching to Renly just now in his mind, it was like a big joke, and Chris's cheeks were hot and burning, the unspeakable anger almost burned him to pieces, shame Feeling from the soles of the feet to the top of the head!

Fake, this must be fake! Other than that, there is no other explanation!

Chris told himself so, but his remaining sanity was telling him it didn't make sense—why would Renly make a fake "Thor" script? Not to mention that Renly doesn't know what's going on in Hollywood at all, so how can he target "Thor" at once? Even if he knew, why would he do it? Is it just a prank? To stimulate him

The two fists couldn't help but clenched tightly, the muscles all over the body were shaking slightly, fake or real? true or false? Just open it up and take a look. No, this won't work, if it's definitely fake, then it's a prank, but what if... what if it's real? What should he do

The voice in his mind was recalling, but his right hand couldn't control it and moved down slowly. When his fingertips touched the cover of the script, the rough and textured touch almost burned his fingers. Sharp, but he still gritted his teeth and firmly grasped the script, like a chestnut in a fire, quickly grabbed it, and opened the script with a trembling right hand.

"Fairy Wood"

Because he was too nervous, he actually tried three times before opening the cover of the script.

He read it quickly, his eyes swept quickly, his heart trembled slightly, and he could even hear the whistling noise in his ears, but his vision was extremely clear, word by word, as clear as printing. , deeply imprinted in the mind.

Really, it's true, this is indeed the script for Thor.

The shock was so extreme that Chris seemed to be struck by lightning, and the whole person froze in place, unable to move at all. Renly has really become a backup for Thor! What's even more ridiculous is that he just threw it on the shelf without any respect.

"Should I take this opportunity?"

After this idea emerged in my mind, it could no longer be stopped, and it spread quickly like a prairie fire.

Suddenly, Chris turned his head to look at the door, and looked at the hall again, lest Renly would suddenly appear, that kind of guilty conscience and anxiety made his footsteps dance like the tip of a knife, but the desire and greed deep in his heart were. And the desire/desire is burning, the thrilling sense of danger and the sense of reality at your fingertips make all the cells in the body start to jump.

Renly wasn't interested in commercial films anyway, and it was exactly what he desperately wanted, so even if he took it for himself, it wouldn't hurt, would it? Is not it? Isn't this justified and logical

Before Chris realized it, his footsteps had already crossed the entire hall and entered his room. He slammed the door of the room shut, and his whole body held up against the wooden door, panting and sweating like rain. The script was wet with sweat from both hands. Looking at the script in his hand, uncontrollable joy emerged spontaneously, and the madness swept like a tornado.

"Chris? The fabric softener is about to be used up, remember to record the shopping list." Renly's voice came from the hall, and Chris jumped up and ran two steps hesitantly, and finally put the script directly. After getting to the bottom of the mattress and confirming that there was no exposure, he adjusted his breathing and said loudly, "No problem!"

Quickly wiped the sweat from both hands, then opened the door of the room and walked out calmly, "What are you going to do now? Don't you sleep?"

Renly paused as he walked into the room, then turned to look at Chris with a speechless face, "My clothes have just been washed, I have to wait for them to be washed and then dried, at least two more hours."

"Ah." Chris then reacted, but the speed of the overly nervous brain was really worrying, "Then... Then what are you going to do?"

Looking at Chris with a strange expression, Renly frowned slightly, which made Chris's heart rise to his throat at once - did Renly notice the abnormality? So, what should he do? How to do? But then Renly sneered, "I don't know how to exercise anyway."

Chris also laughed dryly, "Hehe, hehe. I know you won't." His mouth was so dry that he almost felt a bitter taste, "I… I went to take a shower first, and I was sweating all over. "Chris greeted him casually, then fled and returned to his room.
