Since it was just a rehearsal, the hotel only opened a few rooms for the dancers to use, and if necessary, the guests who were invited to the awards ceremony could only squeeze in the temporary dressing room, although the Golden Globes are held every year. It is held, and the staff have enough experience, but at this time, some hecticness is still unavoidable.

Fortunately, most of the guests chose to leave after completing their rehearsal tasks, and some high-ranking celebrities were unwilling to share the dressing room with others, thinking that this might hinder their identities, so they would rather take the trouble to return Go to their nanny car to touch up makeup and change clothes, so often at this time, these temporary dressing rooms will become the waiting room for TV actors, and their rehearsals are usually put behind, and the length of their waiting time, It depends on the arrival of certain film actors who have made a lot of announcements. Although this sounds a bit pitiful, the status of the film industry has always been higher than that of the TV industry. This is also the reason why many TV actors want to enter the big screen.

So when they saw that the person who opened the door was actually Alex Pollin, the actors who were chatting happily in the waiting room couldn't help being a little stunned.After those conversations and laughter dissipated, the quiet scene became inexplicably funny. Seeing the people in the waiting room looking at him with almost the same posture, Alex took his The assistant came in and jokingly said, "Maybe I'm bothering something...so should I turn around and lean against the wall with my head in my arms?"

And because of Alex's joke, the previous inexplicable atmosphere was immediately broken up, and these people also smiled and came forward to say hello to Alex one by one.To be able to come to the Golden Globe Awards, they must either have an agent with rich resources, or get a good role in a TV series with high ratings, and gain a certain popularity, but these are very important for Alec in front of him. As far as Stanley is concerned, it is not enough to watch.

There are even a few people who look at Alex with complicated eyes. After all, they have struggled in Hollywood and experienced a lot of discouragement and setbacks, and they have come to today's "little celebrity" little by little. , let alone look at those actors who have achieved fame, Nicholson was once called around while doing work on the set, Pacino couldn't even afford the bus fare to audition when he was young, yeah, mention Those actors who can leave their fingerprints on the Avenue of Stars, any one of them can tell a lot of bitter history before becoming famous that makes people cry.

Only Alex is like an accident. He has never made a movie before, but the first film with the black widow Natasha as a supporting role, once released, made him gain great popularity and also He was praised by the media, and his next film "Twilight", although Alex was smashed a lot of Rotten Tomatoes, the film critics changed their previous attitude and followed suit with acrimony. Behind Alex's ass, he kept scolding him for being self-deprecating, but when the box office results came out, how many people looked at the numbers and gritted their teeth and turned red.

The latest "The Departed", which he collaborated with Martin, Leonardo and Nicholson, is another blockbuster with both word of mouth and box office. The box office of the movie did not have too many impressive results, so this time people subconsciously attributed a large part of the super high box office of this movie to Alex, and the "Alec The statement of the "Study effect" has gradually been believed by the insiders. Yes, this young man has his magic. As long as he participates in the film, he doesn't need to worry about the box office at all.

In addition to these, the most important thing is Alex's performance through Colin in "The Departed". Sigh, this is an unexpected performance by a talented owner.

Like a couple of paragraphs from Mike of the Film Critics Association's article in the Chicago Tribune: "Nobody expected Alex in The Departed, or more accurately, everybody was. Expecting him to be clumsy and restless so people can continue the bad reviews he's been throwing at this guy since Twilight and hopefully he'll turn around and better come out and announce his resignation or something That's the end of the story. Unfortunately, the 'he wasted his talent', 'he's a disappointment and made this movie a bad movie' words were all lost when the film was released. ..."

"And to be fair to Alex, people probably won't be able to give him a high score for Colin before the film is released. Even if he becomes stronger, his skin is tanned and full of masculinity. He's become very handsome, but if it's just for being cool, Leonardo in the same film might be better at it than he is, and in his numerous scenes with Nicholson, people can't help but worry that Alec Si will show timidity in front of this actor..."

"But it surprised everyone. As soon as Alex's Colin appeared on the stage, he firmly caught the attention of all moviegoers, and when people watched Alex's performance, no one could imagine This is only his third film, but he has performed beyond his years of experience, giving people adrenaline-pumping performances, and people can't help shouting in their hearts, he did it, in Martin's film, in In front of Nicholson's old-fashioned performance, he always showed his Colin, and yes, he did..."

Of course, these praises are too nasty. I am afraid that only Alex's fans will be flushed with excitement after reading the film reviews. The actors in the dressing room must have seen a lot of them. , and Alex's topicality, which is always in the limelight, is difficult even if you want to avoid it, so they are often soured by the news about Alex on the headlines, but even so, they have to Admittedly, those movie reviews are not too exaggerated. After watching Alex's performance, few people would have the guts to say that he can play Colin better than Alex. .

So this is what makes people feel complicated. The kid in front of him has unparalleled talent. He is young and handsome. Will keep going.

And these actors in the TV circle have never been in contact with Alex in the past. At most, they have heard a few rumors about Alex from others, but as the media broke the news, there are almost no negative things. Judging, this kid is almost a fucking saint.

Just like now, there are no cameras here, and the media is far away, but the kid's smile is very cute, and even the gesture of greeting these unknown people is not affectionate, and the pair of video The eyes are so sincere that people can't help but have a good impression.Before this, they might have thought that Alex was too pretentious, like wearing a fake mask, but now they can't help but feel a little admiration, after all, even if he is pretending, after leaving the camera, he can still It's his skill to be consistent, isn't it?

"Hi, Ian." Alex smiled and took the outstretched hand of the man in front of him.

Ian Somerhalder was stunned, he didn't expect Alex to be able to call out his name, but noticing the performance of the former, Alex quickly said: "I've seen "Lost"... I I really like your character."

"Thank you." Ian smiled, "I think I can also bless you in advance." And Ian is naturally referring to Alex's Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actor this time, although it is impossible for them to get it in advance What kind of news, but the channels for the circulation of news in the circle are well developed, of course some rumors will be leaked, not to mention that if this year's class is really based on strength, compared with other candidates for nomination, Alex is also worthy of the name , so it can be considered to win a little favor from Alex, after all, Alex's achievements are too dazzling and enviable.

Of course, even if these emotions are deliberately restrained, some of them will inevitably be exposed. In fact, Hollywood is really a place that brings people a great sense of vanity, especially when Alex is so popular, no matter where he goes, he He is almost always the focus of the crowd. Although it is clear that people are only doing it for profit, or taking advantage of his popularity, this kind of pursuit and flattery will make people uncontrollably satisfied, and even become ecstatic.

Alex admitted that of course he had such a mentality, but he was still able to hold it, and those past experiences made him stop the car in time.What's more, looking at Ian in front of him, he wanted to pat someone on the shoulder several times, saying that after all, don't look at you as a tepid person now, wait until "The Vampire Diaries" in 09, then your popularity will not be high. Average.

Besides the four actors present, only the assistants or makeup artists they brought were left. Seeing that Alex seemed to be very easy to get along with, one of them mustered up the courage to ask for his autograph. I took an intimate group photo with Alex in my arms, and of course, Ian and the others also took a photo with Alex later.

Alex came here because the sponsored brand suit he was wearing had to be returned. The shirt inside had a relatively new design and delicate material. If he took it off in the car, the space would be too small. I'm afraid that the makeup on my face will stain the shirt, and I guess I will have to buy an impossible dress at my own expense, and Alex has nothing against other people sharing the dressing room, so I still come here It is more convenient to change clothes.

At this time, Alex just needs to be a wooden man and leave everything to his stylist. After hearing the phone ring, Jerry glanced at the call prompt: "It's Mr. Stark——"

Alex raised his chin and motioned for Jerry to answer the call and put it in his ear. Although it was a little inconvenient, Alex really didn't dare not answer Stark's call, especially recently. Tucker seemed particularly insecure for some reason. Once Alex was just watching a movie in his private theater at home. He was fascinated and his phone was muted. Missed records, as well as various Stark's anxious messages, it sounds like Alex is going to suspect that he was kidnapped to the Middle East.

And after he called Stark back, his words inevitably contained some jokes about Stark's fuss, and he firmly refused his request to come and see him, but when Alex woke up in the middle of the night , I was startled by a dark figure at first, and after I saw it clearly, it was the unshaven Stark sitting on the bedside and didn't know how long he looked at him. Head: "Honey, it really breaks my heart that you don't answer the phone."

Anyway, Stark has always looked at him recently with a sad and worried look that he is afraid that he will disappear into the world in the next second, which makes Alex feel creepy, so as long as Stark When the phone call comes, Alex will answer it himself if he can. If he can’t, Jerry will spend half an hour explaining to the president who has nothing to do all day and has a lot of money to spend. What the hell was he doing when he wasn't answering the phone.

"Where is it, dear?" Stark's frivolous voice was still on the other end of the phone.

Alex was too lazy to correct Stark's name when he mistook darling for him, so he just rolled his eyes: "In the dressing room, change clothes."

"Really? Have you changed your clothes yet?"

Alex looked down at the two stylists surrounding him, and subconsciously said, "No, it's half off."

"Don't rush to put it on, I'll be right there."

"..."

After finishing speaking, there was only a busy tone on the other end of the phone. Alex listened for a while speechlessly, and then Jerry put the phone back with a sullen smile.Fortunately, not long ago, Ian and the others had already started preparing for the rehearsal, greeted Alex and left, otherwise Alex would have been even more embarrassed, thinking that such embarrassing days would last until the end of the Golden Globes, Alex couldn't help feeling a little dizzy.

And Alex really didn't understand why Tony Stark, a good capital entrepreneur, didn't do it, and why did he get involved in the Golden Globe Awards as an award presenter?Don't say it's for him, in fact, Alex has never understood why Mr. Stark likes him?Is it okay for him to change it?

"You don't understand, anyway, I was sorry for him in the past." Stark looked a little melancholy.

Pepper wanted to throw a glass of wine to wake up Stark: "As far as I know, you didn't know Alex at all in the past--well, I won't listen anymore, and none of this can be an excuse for you to skip work." , now, go back to your office immediately - work!"

But Pepper’s Spartan order was of no use to Stark. He was still depressed, and looked up at the woman standing in front of him wearing a suit and exquisite makeup: “Really, do you still remember me? Did I tell you that last time? I believe there are past and present lives...or, parallel world theory."

"God——" Pepper groaned, and finally threw himself onto the sofa feebly, and then didn't bother to say a word to the nagging Stark.

Stark didn't seem to notice this, he got up and went to the side display cabinet to take out a plane model, compared with Stark's other brand new reflective models, this small plane is like breaking into A beggar at a banquet, and it is dusty and covered with a layer of dust that cannot be wiped off.

Little Pepper noticed Stark's eyes holding the model, it seemed to be addicted to memories, the inexplicable sadness made the bystanders feel down, wanting to comfort him, Little Pepper couldn't help but look Turning his gaze to the side, he let himself speak in a relaxed tone, "I don't think I've ever seen your model before."

After all, as the personal assistant who is most familiar with her unreliable boss, with Little Pepper's understanding of Stark, she can indeed say that.

And Stark seemed to be in a daze. After a while, he put away the model and sighed a little: "Yes, I used to be the same."

Stark still hasn't stopped the tormenting dreams every day, but in the past they were usually just vague shadows, but these days, everything has become clear.In his early 20s, he experienced another kidnapping, and in Stark's memory, there is no impression of this kidnapping. If it weren't for the details of his dream in the dream, Stark might He could only think that one of the countless kidnappings he experienced that time was probably not thrilling enough, so there was nothing worth remembering.

But now Stark doesn't think that way anymore, he thinks there must be something that made him deliberately forget all of this, or, he in another world has experienced this, but it was very late until now that he found a connection point.

In short, Stark looked at the 20-year-old self in his dream and there is no difference from now, or, on the contrary, the present self has become more life-threatening. Stark watched himself escaped on the way, he Came to a slum with wounds, and met a child.

Although the child has a different name and even a different hair color, as soon as Stark saw that face, he subconsciously determined that the child was Alex. You have to ask him how to prove it?It's like you don't need to prove that your father is your father, Stark can only give this answer.

And the self in the dream treated the child very tenderly, not only because he saved him, but when he saw the poor child look at him with bright and hopeful eyes, he would unconsciously soften his heart.Stark watched his dream self teach this kid to read, teach him to make those mischievous toys, chase away the kids on the block who bullied him, and this kid is also smart enough to teach everything.

Stark watched the child smile brighter day by day, and depend on himself in the dream more and more day by day. When the child was lying in his arms and sleeping soundly, even though he knew that he could not touch everything in the dream , but he still couldn't help but want to reach out and rub the child's head. The strange thing is, as if he felt his presence, the child woke up. He was still sleepy and looked at the child with some doubts. From above, the tone was prolonged, and he called out softly: "Tony——"

And Stark looked at himself who was sleeping soundly, and subconsciously stretched out his hand to take the child into his arms and hugged him even tighter, but Stark couldn't help feeling a little hot, just like Alec, who he had always regretted not participating in. Si's childhood seems to be completed here.

I don't know if it's Stark himself who doesn't want to wake up, or the dream can't wake him up. Stark can only continue to watch the lives of the two in the dream. Soon it will be the child's birthday, and Stark has actually Contacted Habi and the others, the latter is coming, and the dangerous alarm has been lifted, the self in the dream is going to take the child to eat something good to celebrate, the child is really happy, he looks at Lin Lang who is full of the street , showing longing, and they finally stopped in front of the window of a model toy store.

The kid glanced at his own reflection on the glass, then turned to look at Stark beside him: "It's like a dream to me these days...you know, I never thought I could live To live like this..."

Stark covered the round head next to him, pressed it, and then he leaned down: "Listen, why don't you dare to think about it? You can think about it this way-you are smart and clever, and you still have a healthy body body, even if you have not met me, I believe that you can live such a life on your own."

The child was invigorated by the firm words, his eyes were bright, and his face flushed with excitement, which made Stark want to reach out and squeeze it, and then he was really like this in his dream Done.

While the child asked "Really?", Stark saw himself pushing open the door of the store, and he picked out a model airplane: "You like this, don't you?" The look in his eyes that didn't dare to tell, made Stark feel a throbbing pain in his heart at that time, and he had already urged himself in his dream to buy this model.

"Give you."

The child took it with his little hand, and then Stark watched himself squatting down, looking at the boy in front of him: "This is an agreement-I may have to leave for a while, but in return for taking care of me during this time , I will send you away from here to study, and then wait for you to do a great job, of course, this may not necessarily surpass me... But I will wait for you to take this model and come to me like a man the day..."

It's too easy to take the boy away. After all, there is no law at all in such a dirty neighborhood, but the self in the dream didn't do it himself. He encountered an accident on the way, and waited Wounded, he woke up, but there were more things waiting for him to do. After confirming that he had picked up the boy, he devoted himself to other affairs, and Stark, who saw all this in the dream, had already Faintly felt uneasy.

Sure enough, the military was looking for some new experimental subjects at that time, and his father was also a core member. After all, Banner and Steve were obviously not enough for them, and Alex was inexplicably the most suitable one. One of the candidates appeared on the list, and Stark didn't even have to think about it, knowing that this kid would definitely agree to participate in this experiment after receiving Stark's funding for so many years.

It was an extremely cruel human experiment that Stark couldn't bear to imagine. Stark didn't understand how the child survived. When he walked into the cold, cage-like laboratory, military personnel detained him. Stark knew what was in his luggage, except for simple clothes, there was only a plane model that he was very familiar with.

Stark woke up suddenly from his dream, his ears seemed to be still echoing the screams of the boy being injected and enduring the pain, and the rest of the picture was only in the gap of his brief waking , staring out of the narrow window in a daze, Stark couldn't help leaning over. He knew that the child might not be able to feel himself, but he could clearly see that the child's trembling lips were whispering to him. The name, as if something suddenly cut Stark's heart, he panted heavily, and reached out to wipe the sweat from his forehead, but the tentacles were full of cold tears.

And even if Stark was unwilling to accept the cruel past, he still had to know everything about it.That child eventually became one of the most outstanding experimental subjects, and the military also erased this part of his memory, and magnified the obsession in his heart, allowing him to return to the crowd. This is the observation period.

I also know that the child must have remembered their agreement and came to Stark's side.

And in these long years, the figure of the child in Stark's heart has gradually faded away, so when he interviewed his new assistant, he just felt that this young man was simply inexplicable, He first looked at him with fiery eyes, as if expecting him to find something, but in the end the eyes only became dim because of his unfamiliar look.

Stark could only grit his teeth and watch himself play dumb in the dream. Of course he knew that this new assistant liked him, and he, who had never tasted a man before, thought it would be nice to come here a few times now and then. , but he will never stop his romantic footsteps before, just like this little by little hurt the sincerity of this young man, enjoy his meticulous care, and even want to see what he has done with evil taste Will endure to a certain extent.

Finally, Stark may have waited until the idea of ​​the young man leaving as he wished, and Stark, who watched all this, knew himself too well, and he knew that he in his dream was unwilling to let people go , but the latter was extremely determined this time: "I don't know how many times a day... I pulled you up from different women when you were drunk, and then the next day, I saw you and some other women, naked Getting out of bed naked...and I'm going to have to fight my nausea, show my professionalism, and do my job as Mr. Stark's assistant."

"I thought I should have gotten used to all this, but I found that I didn't, and I didn't need to get used to it." Stark saw the young man's straight back collapse, as if he had lost his strength, The sockets of his eyes were faintly red, there was too much to vent, but he tried his best to suppress it, just like he always did.

So much so that the words he forced himself to calm down sounded as hard as sandpaper, "Mr. Stark may have doubts about me coming to you, but I came here because someone once told me , he expects me to stand in front of him like a man, and this person is so outstanding, so in order to be able to stand beside him, I have been gritting my teeth and working hard-but now there is no need for that, because this person has long ago Forget what he said."

Stark suppressed the sourness in his heart, and heaved a long sigh, thinking what's the point of reminding him of this?He should be allowed to return to that memory, or that parallel world, and beat himself up violently.

Now Stark understands why the first time he saw Alex, he felt a faint sense of familiarity, and the inexplicable desire in his heart to be nice to people, sitting on the top floor of the building and throwing money at others Flower impulse.Now Stark doesn't have to suppress his emotions anymore, and he should take some action to take people down before Alex remembers those bad things, after all, no matter who The world, or this world, whether it's Loki or Captain America, are all robbing him of men——
