013 roommates
I skateboarded home from the Pioneer Village, which is only fifteen minutes away from the bustling restaurants, bars, and movie theaters. After entering the residential neighborhood, the noise around me gradually calmed down, and the coffee shops and grocery stores on the roadside were all closed. , only the 24-hour convenience store not far away is still brightly lit.
The streetlights on both sides of the street are very weak, barely holding on, as if they will be swallowed up by the swarming darkness at any time. Occasionally, you can see a group of black people howling and howling on the roadside, the wanton and rampant Laughter breaks the tranquility of the neighborhood and adds a dangerous chill to the night.
When he first came to New York, Renly hesitated for a while whether to choose to live in Manhattan, where the land is expensive but the transportation is convenient, or in Brooklyn, where the rent is cheap but the distance is long. The main reason was that he was short of money. Later, Pioneer Job opportunities in the Village allowed him to settle in Manhattan.
Although it is already half past two in the morning, there are still many rooms in the building with lights on. The thin walls like wallpaper cannot block the spread of noise at all. Not to mention the roar of engines on the street, even the neighbors next door. The private love stories are all clear. Walking in the corridor, noises can be heard from time to time, lurking in the rich night..
I stepped on the skateboard under my feet and listened to the sounds in the house. There was dead silence. Then I took out the key from my pocket, tried to avoid more noises, and opened the door lock lightly. I thought my roommate had already gone to bed. , but after opening the door, he saw a strong figure standing in the middle of the hall, which shocked Renly..
At this time, the figure was only wearing a pair of white underwear. Facing the floor-to-ceiling mirror on the wall, he was examining his figure. His well-proportioned white flesh was particularly conspicuous under the light. He clenched his fists with both hands and pushed upwards, full and strong. His biceps are fully exposed. He is turning his body left and right to examine the muscle lines of different parts in detail. His long blond hair is tied into a bun. The conflict between strength and softness is somewhat inconsistent..
Hearing the sound of opening the door, the other party did not turn around. He lowered his head and looked at his abdominal muscles, muttering and asking, "Tell me, are my abdominal lines a little distorted?" The strong local accent even seemed a bit vague. , making people hard to understand.
Renly couldn't help but chuckled and closed the door to the room, "I just came home and saw such a scene...remind me why I chose you as my roommate.？”
“Because you can't find a job as an actor, and at the same time you need someone to share the rent." The other party finally put down his hands, turned around, and looked at Renly confidently and arrogantly, his blue eyes like Hawaii Like the ocean, so clear that it is intoxicating.
Renly frowned slightly, considered for a moment, and said seriously, "Then, why are you here looking at your muscles in the middle of the night when you have found a job?"？”
After such a counterattack, the opponent was immediately at his wits end. He put his hands on his waist and shouted with a ferocious expression, "Renly Hall！”
Renly rubbed his ear hole with his index finger, "Keep it down, Johnson on the third floor can hear it." The teasing tone made the other party immediately break the news, slumped his shoulders, and laughed helplessly. However, seeing Lan Li There was a hint of pride in the relaxed smile on Li's lips, and he couldn't help but start grinding his teeth. He jumped on the spot and crossed the sofa. He rushed to Renli in two strides and directly hit Renli's chest with his chest..
Compared to the thickness of the opponent's chest, which was comparable to that of a woman, Renly was really unsatisfied. His chest felt tight, as if his bones were pressed down, "Foul! If a woman violates a man in this way, it is clear that she wants us to give up resistance!" This is Insinuating that the other party is a "woman", a fatal blow makes the other party stand there helplessly, gritting his teeth..
“You know you are a cunning guy." The other party gritted his teeth, but was helpless..
Renly shrugged, "I know." The calm look on his face made both of them smile and laugh out loud..
Standing in front of Renly is Chris Hemsworth, Renly's current roommate, this sexy Australian actor who later became famous all over the world because of "Thor", he is still a A young boy who has just come to the United States to work hard, his Australian accent is very obvious. To put it simply, he has a local flavor..
Although Renly lives in lower Manhattan, and in Greenwich Village where rent is much cheaper, the monthly rent of up to 1,600 US dollars is still unaffordable, not to mention that this figure does not include water, electricity and gas..
When Renly moved in, he had another roommate, but the other person soon moved to Los Angeles. Obviously, the shortcut to rapid fame in Los Angeles was more attractive than New York. In order to share the rent, Renly had to continue to rent tenants. , but, I didn’t expect that I would find a "Brother Hammer"”.
Before Chris came to the United States to work hard, he was already a well-known TV actor in Australia, so his development path was very smooth. He first won the opportunity to perform in "Star Trek", and then appeared in "A Perfect Escape" Playing opposite Mil-Jovovich. Bon voyage.
Renly was also a little surprised when he saw Chris coming to inquire about the room. Having appeared in two works, Chris is fully capable of living in a better location and a better house. There is no need to come to Greenwich Village..
During the time they got together, although Renly didn't ask directly, he could guess from Chris's few words. So far, Chris has appeared in two works, but they were all supporting roles, and the pay was not too high; now most of them Income is reinvested, such as purchasing clothing or hiring a personal trainer. These are investments in the future and cannot be saved..
Recently, Chris's agent is negotiating for his next work, and it is very likely that he will be directly promoted to the leading actor position..
In comparison, it doesn't hurt that the residence is simpler. So, Chris was temporarily idle at home, following the fitness coach to exercise muscles, and was always ready. However, the waiting time was a little longer than expected. Two months passed in the blink of an eye, and there was still no Any movement, then the conversation between the two people just happened.
After the joke, Chris stopped Renly who was about to go back to the room to wash up, "How was the audition today?" Before Renly could answer, Chris jumped directly onto the sofa and sat down cross-legged, "Is it like what I said? Same? Only the audition director is there? And the on-site staff are all strangers? It’s not like in the movie, where you can see big-name directors and producers..”
Chris has more audition experience, so he shared a lot of his experiences before this.
“Tom and Steven both showed up today." Standing at the door of the room, Renly had no intention of hiding anything. He told the truth, "When I saw them at the scene, my first reaction was to be shocked. Maybe it was because of them. You are particularly concerned about this series, so you personally participated in the selection of actors." After all, "Band of Brothers" Zhu Yu is ahead, and the preparations for "Pacific War" are indeed carrying huge pressure..
Listening to Renly's words, his jaw gradually dropped, and a storm of astonishment gathered in his eyes, "It must be so!" Chris' tone was extremely sure, but he soon realized that he was a little too eager, and he laughed twice. Voice, explained, "I mean, they are so busy, and they need to monitor the entire preparation process. There must be a lot of things. It is impossible for a producer to do everything by himself.".”
After a pause, Chris also felt a little embarrassed, "If I had known I would have gone to the audition." He asked his agent, but the agent thought there was no value in attending. Firstly, Tom and Steven would definitely not show up. Secondly, This was just a TV series, and Chris's current goal is to be in a movie, and he is also the leading actor. There is almost no benefit to Chris from participating in such an audition. Unexpectedly, he missed a face-to-face meeting with a top boss. opportunity.
“What was the result of the audition? When will it come out? "Chris raised his head again and expressed concern..
Renly showed a bright smile, not hiding his joy. Such a simple expression was enough to explain everything. This made Chris stunned, but he didn't understand it at first. After thinking about it several times, this Then he asked tentatively, "So...you got the role."？”
The uncertain question received an affirmative answer from Renly, and the words "impossible" blurted out. Chris looked at Renly with bewilderment, and a trace of jealousy could not be suppressed in his heart - he was already at home. In the past two months, he has almost grown bored. Now, not only has he missed the opportunity to meet a big boss like Steven Spielberg, but it is still unclear when the opportunity for his next film will appear. What's more important is that when he auditioned for the first TV series in Australia, he also failed, but Renly's audition was actually so smooth..
“Are you envious of me? "Renly noticed Chris's mixed emotions and pointed them out directly, which made Chris a little embarrassed. Renly chuckled, "You are a movie actor, and you are about to become the leading actor; I just got the first one. It's just a performance opportunity, TV actor. You should understand this math.？”
The joking tone made Chris pick up the pillow and throw it at Renly. He couldn't help but laugh. "I just think that a big production team like this usually won't announce the results so quickly. You actually knew it on the same day. Are you sure?" Isn't it a lie?？”
Renly shrugged, "If Tom Hanks personally deceived me, then I have nothing to say..”
That proud tone made Chris's teeth itch again. Looking at Renly's back as he turned to leave, Chris remembered another thing. He sat up straight, rubbed his neck and shouted, "Where's the pay? What role?" How much will the salary be? Have these details been discussed?？”
“That's not something I can decide." Renly replied calmly like a shopkeeper, making Chris slump down on the sofa, feeling a little lost..
Now, Renly auditioned and got a job, but what about him? When will he get his next job? No, he has to speed up, otherwise he will be overtaken.
