Chapter 142 Chuck: I want to eat Kung Pao Chicken(1/2)
"Hi."
Joey walked in moodily.
"Look, the Italian guy is coming!"
As always, Chandler immediately used the material he just learned, and waved his hand to Joey teasingly, gesturing for everyone to look at Joey.
"I know, Italian guy's gay roommate."
Phoebe scoffed.
"That's enough, this is the normal reaction when people hear about the death of others! It's not the first thing they think of money, nor the first thing they think of themselves! It's the first thing they think of is regret! Just like Joey!"
Monica lectured everyone, her eyes lingering on Rachel and Chandler for a while.
Rachel, who thought of money for the first time, lowered her head.
The first time he thought that he would die alone, Chandler sat on the sofa with no love at all, not caring about Monica's gaze.
Joey first puffed up his chest under Monica's approving gaze, and then asked the key question: "Who died?"
"..."
Monica's mouth twitched: "You don't know that Mr. Harker passed away? Then why do you look miserable?"
"well."
When he mentioned this, Joey grimaced and said hesitantly: "My movie role is bad."
"What?"
"Oh, no! We're still waiting to see your face on the big screen."
Old friends immediately expressed disappointment.
"Why?"
Ross was confused, glanced at Chuck, and said pointedly: "Is there something wrong with the movie because the Gambino family was investigated?"
Everyone immediately looked at Chuck.
"Ah yes!"
Joey's eyes lit up and he stretched out his finger: "That's it."
"is that so?"
Chuck looked at Joey.
"I'm not so sure either."
Joey originally wanted to nod directly, but when he met Chuck's calm gaze, he suddenly looked away with a guilty conscience: "That's what the gossip said."
"That must be the reason."
Ross had always been dissatisfied with Chuck, so he immediately encouraged him: "Joey's acting skills are so great, but he just lacked an opportunity. Now that he has passed the interview and the agent has made the decision, even if he wanted to pursue Joey, he would have already signed him."
Apart from the fact that the movie suddenly stopped filming because of funding, what other reasons could there be? This is an important turning point in Joey's career."
"As far as I know, the movie is still being shot."
Chuck nodded and said: "If this is true, it means that someone is laundering money in the name of making movies, and I will ask the IRS agents to follow up."
"Don't."
Joey was startled and quickly waved his hand and said: "I just heard that those are rumors and may not be accurate."
"You are wrong."
Chuck shook his head: "Rumors are the most accurate. Haven't you seen that all kinds of heavyweight information are anonymous internal rumors? Don't worry, these things will be checked accurately. They are the most professional."
"I was wrong! I lost that role!"
Joey couldn't hold it in anymore and told the truth directly: "The director fired me!"
"What?"
Ross was stunned: "Why?"
"Because I acted too hard..."
Joey hesitated and wanted to cover it up for the last time: "My idea is that my character is very sad. His wife is dead and his brother is missing. I want to show quiet despair. Is this wrong?"
While talking, there was also a performance on the spot.
"The understanding is very good and the acting is also very good."
Ross was puzzled.
"right!"
Joey was very happy with Ross's recognition and pointed at Ross: "It's a pity that the director didn't give me a chance to express myself. He only told me not to squeeze my butt muscles."
“What does this have to do with glute muscles?”
Chandler mocked casually: "It's your face that's being photographed, not your ass."
"this……"
Joey hesitated immediately.
"No way?"
Rachel was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing: "You're not playing the role of buttocks, are you?"
"All right."
Seeing that he had leaked the information, Joey had no choice but to tell the truth: "I was acting as a butt substitute, but it was Al Pacino's buttocks. When he was filming the shower scene, I was actually filming it."
After saying this, he clasped his hands to Chuck and begged: "This is the truth of the matter. You must not let the IRS come to investigate, otherwise my acting career will be completely over."
People in the entertainment industry know everything, but they can’t stand up to scrutiny.
If Joey was targeted by the IRS, then Joey would be completely famous in this industry, but it would be a bad reputation that he would never be able to get around again.
"ok."
Chuck nodded.
"thanks, thanks."
Joey was overjoyed.
"You're welcome."
Chuck said bluntly: "I only care about Al Pacino's butt, butt face."
"Butt face?"
Everyone was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter.
"People are famous for their faces, but you are almost famous for your butt. Your butt face is really worthy of your reputation."
Chandler joked.
"Oh, you made me laugh so hard."
Rachel held her waist, hugged Phoebe and laughed.
"..."
Joey's face turned completely dark.
When he received this role, he had a premonition that he would be laughed at by his friends, but he did not expect that only a small part of him would receive such a shameful nickname.
"do not be angry."
Monica tried hard to hold back her laughter and explained to Joey for Chuck: "My little cousin is called that by his mother at home. It's also a affectionate nickname."
"It doesn't matter."
With a grimace on his face, Joey walked over to Chandler, sat down, and followed Chandler's example, showing an expression of despair.
"Don't be like this. There will be another chance next time. We all believe you will be popular."
Monica comforted.
"I hope so."
Joey said in frustration: "I just want to play a good role. This time even the butt substitute was fired. Next time I really have to show my face, can I really perform well?"
"Of course."
Chandler joked: "Acting is all about your face. If you don't show your face and want to use your buttocks to express the feeling of your face, it's obviously the most difficult challenge from the beginning."
Having said this, he slapped his forehead and pretended to suddenly realize: "I have an idea. If you had asked Chuck to help you draw a face on your buttocks, it would have been much easier. With the strength of your butt face and
It’s unique and will definitely become an instant hit.”
Rachel and the others couldn't hold back their laughter again.
Joey angrily glared at his good roommate Chandler.
Chuck glanced at Chandler.
