Volume 1: A sound on Wall Street, Xinxiang City is busy copying books Chapter 257 Jin Ke La
Subtitle of this chapter: Should I get in this broken car?
"Look at his temperament, isn't it both good and evil?"
If you have watched the movie "Casablanca", you will know that the bar owner played by Humphrey Bogart is a typical cynical and impulsive playboy. He is indeed very good at playing such "anti-hero" roles.
The star was nominated for the Academy Award three times in the original timeline. The first time was for Casablanca, the second time was for playing a neurotic captain who had a mental breakdown in a typhoon in Mutiny on the Kane, and the third time was for playing a drunken captain in The African Queen. The last film won him an Oscar in 1952.
"Is there?" Miss Gish once again carefully looked at the uneasy little script supervisor, but still couldn't figure out what the "good and evil" thing was.
So she doesn't have Master Yuan's sharp "eyes" that can see through appearances.
"Of course! "
Yuan Yan suddenly asked, "Mr. Bogart, do you want to act in a movie?"
"Me?" This young man, who was only 21 years old, of course wanted to be an actor, so he nodded immediately and said, "Mr. Yuan, I want to! But..."
You have to know that his father is a surgeon and his mother is a writer, so they are definitely from a middle-class background. But this guy is a bit rebellious. After graduating from high school, he did not go to college but joined the navy instead.
Working as a handyman in a theater can be said to be the best way to learn for those who are interested in acting these days. The earliest American film and television figures, such as Griffith, Chaplin, Lillian Gish and Humphrey Bogart, all spent a considerable amount of time in the theater.
However, he still said honestly: "But I haven't learned much about acting yet."
The problem is that he has only been in the theater for less than half a year and is almost a blank slate.
"Mr. Bogart, it doesn't matter at all!"
Our Master Yuan wanted a blank sheet of paper, and he immediately suggested to Miss Gish, "Madam Director, why don't you let him try Juror No. 6?"
Even if the big star admired the talent of her Chinese lover, she showed an incredible expression on her face and asked: "Let him try? Juror No. 6 is the protagonist? Oh, you are kidding, right?"
Yuan Yanshu was too lazy to find any excuses related to film and television art this time. He simply pulled Miss Gish to a secluded corner and said in a low and mysterious voice: "My lover, you have seen my ability. If I tell you that this little guy is destined to become a big star, do you believe it?"
Hollywood stars buy into this, and a hundred years later, many of these big stars and directors are still believers in cults, such as Tom Cruise, who believes in Scientology.
So this is even better than explaining it from an artistic perspective. After hearing this, the female star nodded without hesitation and said, "Okay, my Lord Fool. I'll let him try."
"Believe me, you're right..."
Just then, Mr. Chandler came over and called him, "Neo, there's a call for you."
In the era without mobile phones, secretaries were indispensable for busy and successful people. As long as Miss Enyuka answered the phone at home, the person looking for her would know where Yuan Yanshu was.
"Then I'll go answer the phone first, you let him try it."
Master Yuan walked to the office area of Edison Laboratory and answered the phone: "Hello... Xiangzi, it's you. Didn't I tell you that I had something to do, so I wouldn't go to pick up the boat?"
"Luo Puxiang, what did you say?!"
" What William...Count?!"
"What else is Jin... Ke La?!"
Yuan Yan was shocked when she heard this and almost threw the receiver in her hand. Shouldn't Earl William be staying in a top-secret laboratory in San Diego now, with two thousand special forces bodyguards escorting him? And he is concentrating on developing the golden Ke La, a divine object that is vital and no one can live without?
"Xiangzi, the unstable current signal just now is not very good. Please say it again. I understand. William II sent a count here..."
That's right, the word Earl in English is Earl, Comte in French, and Graf in German. At first glance, it really sounds like "Ke La".
"Oh, he came to award me the Junker on behalf of William II..."
Well, the German word Junker does refer to the lowest level of knight in the Prussian aristocracy, and this word means a broken car in English slang, and later it was extended to mean a drug addict.
"Hey, William II wants to give me a sword and invite me to be his secretary?"
Oh, this Earl William... well, the second is exactly the same as described in the history books, full of middle school atmosphere. I just made a few casual excuses for him in the newspaper, and I got a "knight package".
"Ah, your uncle asked me how to deal with this matter? Well...tell him, I need to think about it carefully."
To be honest, our Master Yuan really wanted to be a Junker. He was certainly not a German... well, he still admired the aesthetics of the Third Reich. As a painter, Xiao Hu is just average, but as a designer, he is really outstanding. Even a hundred years later, when people all over the world think of the Third Reich, they will think of all kinds of solemn, grand, neat, exquisite, full of mysticism and symbolism, which all look like they came out of a fantasy novel.
In short, compared to the violent aesthetics of the Russians, Nazi aesthetics appears more refined; compared to the nouveau riche atmosphere of the United States, the Third Reich is more elegant; compared to me, a country bumpkin... forget it, I won't say more.
Even if he is not a German, the thought of a Serbian becoming a Prussian noble is exciting.
Yuan Yan suddenly began to think in her mind, could she be the Junker?
After thinking for a long time, he finally sighed and decided not to get on William II's broken car.
First of all, he was a Serbian. Apart from the fact that William II had advocated the "Yellow Peril Theory", Serbia and Germany were enemies in the First World War a few years ago. It was outrageous enough for a Serbian like me to defend the leader of an enemy country, and it would be even more difficult to explain if I accepted this title.
Secondly, he wanted to be a master of neoclassical liberalism, so how could he be an aristocrat? Neoclassical liberalism is a school of political economics that seeks equality for all mankind... well, equality for all to be exploited by big capitalists.
Finally, William II was out of fashion. The little mustache would not like him in the future. When he swept across Europe, William II naively hoped that the little mustache would help him restore the throne . Moreover, there is still the word "socialism" in National Socialism, which is incompatible with the imperial power.
In that case, why bother yourself with this cold stove?
“Beep, beep, beep…”
