022 Silly Man

After confirming that he wanted to star in "Death Illusion", Gu Luobei felt that life was really wonderful. He just rejected the contract for Warner Records not long ago and now he has entered the world of movies. Although the "Death Illusion" starring Jack Gyllenhaal in the last life was widely loved by loyal fans, if Gu Luobei did not study the script seriously and did not perform well this time, maybe this classic cult movie would be buried, so Gu Luobei still devoted all his energy to the research of this script, hoping that his first performance on the big screen would at least satisfy himself.

Speaking of the movie, Gu Luobei remembered Anne Hathaway again. Although he knew that the interview with "Princess Diary" was finally chosen, Gu Luobei decided to call to ask about the situation. It was two weeks since school started, so it was time to contact this little girl.

"Hello, this is Hathaway's house." The one who answered the phone was a middle-aged lady, her voice was very beautiful, neither too slow, and with a hint of elegance.

"Mrs. McGolly, this is Evan." Gu Luobei knew it was Anne Hathaway's mother Kate McGolly. Although he took his husband's surname after marriage, the name "Kate McGolly" is a proof of her being a singer and actress. The so-called Mrs. Hathaway was always very happy when she heard others call her "Mr.Golly".

"Evan, cute guy, how are your road trips? Are you still happy?" Kate McGolly heard Gu Luobei's name, and indeed his tone of speaking became lighter.

"Everything is fine, but I can't take a shower along the way. It's really a struggle." Gu Luobei's answer caused a series of laughter to come from the other end of the phone. "Mrs. McGolly, is Anne at home?"

"Annie? Here, wait." Kate McGolly put the microphone next to him, walked to the stairs and shouted "Annie", and then walked back, "She's here."

"Please say hello to Mr. Hathaway, Michelle and Thomas on my behalf." Gu Luobei was still very polite and did not forget to greet Anne Hathaway's father, brother and younger brother.

Kate McGowley kept saying yes on the other end of the phone, and then handed the microphone to Anne Hathaway, "North, how are your road trips? Have you ever had any exciting experiences?" As soon as she answered the phone, she heard Anne Hathaway's carefree voice. You can even imagine her expression on the other end of the phone with her eyes and her mouth full of bright smiles.

"Of course, it's an exciting journey from leaving New York." Gu Luobei also generously shared the stories of the journey. Although he had no thrilling experience, just the feat of crossing the United States and the amazing scenery along the way made Anne Hathaway sigh.

"If I have the chance in the future, I must try it once. I can walk around the world with my bags. It's really cool." Anne Hathaway couldn't help but feel envious. She has been a very boy since she was a child and has become accomplicated with Gu Luobei. However, due to family education, Anne Hathaway is still relatively stable in her bones. "Excessive" is never something that family advocates. Therefore, although she is very envious of Gu Luobei's road trip, it is still difficult to put into practice.

This is even more so. Gu Luobei hoped to make such an attempt in his previous life, but unfortunately it was not until this life was realized. It is free and easy, and he carried his bags and wandered around, and did whatever he wanted to let his short life bloom with infinite brilliance. This is the real enjoyment of life. Suddenly, Gu Luobei thought of Black Lively. This little girl was only thirteen years old and had such courage. It is indeed very rare. The dream of yearning for freedom and the courage to put it into action made Gu Luobei, who was a man of two lives, admire him.

"Mate, how about the interview with the 'Princess Diary'?" Gu Luobei remembered the main purpose of making the phone call. He just talked about traveling, and nearly twenty minutes passed without realizing it, and then he remembered it.

Although Gu Luobei only lived in London for six years and was infancy most of his time, the habit of British English has been kept in Gu Luobei's spoken language, including the British accent of old scholars and old nobles, and some differences in titles. For example, Americans like to use gentlemen more often, while British people use gentlemen (sir). Of course, this is not absolute. However, the proverb of "bud" is clearer and clearer. Americans like to use the word dude as spoken language, which is more than the streets; while British people use the word mate. The word mate includes the meaning of partner, man, spouse, partner, etc., which means more written and more poetic. When Americans imitate British people's speech, the word "mate" is the iconic term.

Gu Luobei's British accent is not awkward, but it makes people sound very comfortable and elegant. Anne Hathaway has long been used to Gu Luobei's accent and way of speaking, so she doesn't care at all. She just heard the content of the question and said a long "My God", and then she heard her lying on the table, "That was a disaster..."

Hearing Anne Hathaway's exaggerated answer, Gu Luobei's smile couldn't help but hang up, "Why, you beat the director?"

"Haha... If I really beat the director, I think it would be more than a disaster, but a farce." Anne Hathaway was amused by Gu Luobei's teasing, "Then my father can use his expertise at that time." Anne Hathaway's father, Gerald Hathaway, is a lawyer.

"To be honest, I was so stupid on the day of the interview. There was only one chair in the interview room that day, and then a row of people were sitting in front of me, which reminded me of my college interview. It was so bad." Anne Hathaway complained and excited to describe the situation on the day of the interview. "I walked to the chair, greeted everyone, and was about to show the elegance of the princess. I sat down, but I didn't expect to sit empty. I just rubbed the edge of the chair and fell to the ground. The chair also flipped over. Oh my God, everyone at the scene laughed loudly. If I could, I would be willing to disappear from there on the spot."

Gu Luobei was not polite at all. He laughed loudly on the other end of the phone, which made Anne Hathaway angry and embarrassed. However, when he thought of his embarrassment that day, Anne Hathaway couldn't help but laugh. It was indeed embarrassing to make such a big mistake during the interview, and even if he recalled it, he would find it funny.

"This character is a princess. I am so embarrassed, I guess there is no hope." I should be very disappointed to say this, but Anne Hathaway couldn't help laughing. Perhaps missing the "princess diary" in this way is a special experience.

"No, no, no, I think you will get this role." Gu Luobei rubbed his cheeks that were froze and said firmly. He didn't seem to be comforting at all, but as confident.

Anne Hathaway didn't believe it, "Bei, you don't need to comfort me anymore. You didn't see everyone's expressions at that time, all of them looked disappointed, and some people even shook their heads." Indeed, after all, Gu Luobei was his childhood sweetheart, so he would definitely comfort himself, no wonder Anne Hathaway didn't believe it.

Gu Luobei finally got serious. Although the corners of his mouth were still smiling, his tone became much more serious. "Man, if I remember correctly the director of the 'Princess Diary', it was Gary Marshall, right?" Anne Hathaway gave a confirmation answer. "He shot a comedy movie like 'Feng Yue Pretty Beauty' and 'Escaped Bride', which made Julia Roberts' sweet sister famous. Marshall likes to shoot comedy movies. Although I have never read the script 'Princess Diary', I think the princess in this script will not be the kind of elegant and noble type, but should be lively and cheerful, with some reckless and cute princesses."

Anne Hathaway did not answer, and recalled the script carefully in her mind, and couldn't help but sigh at Gu Luobei's keen observation, "It's like this."

"So, do you remember what I told you before? You are very suitable for this script role." Gu Luobei said his conclusion again, which was obviously much more convincing. "Although you fell off a chair on the day of the interview, it seemed very reckless. But maybe it was your move that added a lot of points to you."

Anne Hathaway opened her mouth in surprise, "Are you serious?" But after saying that, she thought that the other party was Gu Luobei. She had known Gu Luobei for twelve years, and she believed most of the time. However, the expressions of the judges who were interviewing that day were really not good, or even bad. Even so, Anne Hathaway finally showed a big smile, "Okay, I hope the reality can be as you said."

This is true. In the case of no one's optimism, Gary Marshall chose Anne Hathaway as the heroine of "Princess Diary", which also became the first important turning point in Anne Hathaway's career as an actor. It should be said that Anne Hathaway is lucky to be stupid, or it should be said that Gary Marshall is keen on the wise, or both.

"By the way, I'm about to start filming a movie." Gu Luobei's bombshell made Anne Hathaway jump three feet high at the other end of the phone immediately, "What? What's going on? Let's hear it." It sounds like Anne Hathaway is happier than Gu Luobei, the client.

Gu Luobei simply said the matter, and Anne Hathaway sighed, "It turns out that there is your style, and you always choose what you want to do. I also think this movie should be very suitable for you." Anne Hathaway means an independent movie, and the cult movie is very consistent with Gu Luobei's style.

"Huh, who can tell the truth about filming a movie and challenging acting skills? I have no clue at the moment." Gu Luobei is telling the truth. He has Broadway experience and vaguely remembers how Jack Gyllenhaal performed this movie in his previous life, but knowing that it is not easy to interpret it himself.

"Haha, in terms of acting, I can still be your teacher. Otherwise, please ask me for advice?" Anne Hathaway's cheerful laughter was always endless, which made people feel happy.
