Chapter 19: The director comes to the door
Gu Luobei could sincerely swear to God that when he first saw Eden Hudson, this guy was definitely an iceberg. The face in front of him was expressionless, but the content of the conversation was extremely gossip, and he was definitely not the Eden Hudson he knew back then. To be precise, in normal times, in front of strangers, friends, and good friends, Eden-Hudson is an iceberg, and it is not necessarily an iceberg that can spit out a word for a few hours, but in front of real best friends, Eden-Hudson is an iceberg. -Although Hudson still has an iceberg face, the gossip blood in his bones immediately boiled. There must be an active volcano under this iceberg!
Eden Hudson is Gu Luobei's roommate. He only met him when he came to Harvard University. As a top student in law school, Eden Hudson, a British-Swedish half-blooded handsome iceberg, is definitely famous for his profound facial features, The sharp eyes and the aura that no one is near make Eden Hudson known as the first handsome guy in the law school. With this reputation, even if Gu Luobei went to tell others that Eden Hudson was a gossip man, no one would believe it. Should Eden Hudson be said to be black-bellied or sullen? Maybe both are compatible.
However, Gu Luobei, who was used to it now, replied casually, "I just met, just met." Then he asked, "Why are you here?"
Eden Hudson knows that when it comes to women, Gu Luobei disdains to lie. He said that he just met, so he must have just met. For example, his girlfriend today, Heidi Montgomery, said it was just "women". Companion", so even if Heidi-Montgomery and other men were hot, Gu Luobei didn't care at all. Therefore, Eden Hudson did not continue to ask, "I came here to cheer you on and I was going to leave. I heard something interesting, so I came to share it with you." The audience is naturally a melancholy opening. Performance. In fact, aside from gossip, the iceberg of Eden-Hudson is indeed an iceberg on the whole. It is not enthusiastic about social activities, and it is just a nod to ordinary friends. If it wasn't for Gu Luobei and him being roommates and having been together for more than two years, it is estimated that the two of them would not have become friends.
"There's a young man blocking you at the door of the prom, and he's asking a few times if he knows where you are." Eden Hudson's face was still calm, if it wasn't for some gloating in his eyes that revealed his emotions at the moment, only I'm afraid it's still an iceberg. "Twenty-five or six-year-old appearance, quite sturdy, short hair and hammer face, he looks very honest, but his eyes roll fast, he must have a flexible mind." It is not without reason that Eden Hudson is black-bellied, he said. The poisonous tongue is definitely swearing without swear words, but it is impossible for people to refute.
Just listening to Eden Hudson's simple description, Gu Luobei had a general impression in his head and shook his head, "I don't know."
"That's probably Montgomery's suitor or something." Although he is Gu Luobei's good friend, it is clear that Eden Hudson also likes Gu Luobei's "disaster", and then calmly said the second half Duan speculated, "I should ask you to settle the account."
After speaking, Eden Hudson, as if he had nothing to do, turned around and patted Gu Luobei on the shoulder to express his encouragement. Then he said, "By the way, the copyrights of your two songs have been registered, and the copyright certificates will arrive in the dormitory this afternoon."
In the United States, copyright is very important. Gu Luobei intends to send the two songs "Finally" and "Broad Seas and Sky" to various companies to try their luck. Although it may not be successful, in order to prevent a record company from directly owning it, he decided to register the copyright before registering it. Send it to the record company. Since registration of copyright also requires fees, Gu Luobei finally registered only the two best songs.
The copyright registration process is also very simple. Send the application form, the copy of the work, and the registration fee to the US Copyright Office in Washington, D.C. If there are no major mistakes, the registration certificate can be issued. Typically, it takes four to six months. The mail sent in March should have arrived in the past few days.
For Eden Hudson's black belly, Gu Luobei has long been used to it, directly ignoring the schadenfreude before, and focusing on the copyright issue later, "It's finally here, I'm planning to send the song to The record company is coming. Come on, go back to the dormitory, and I'll tell you about the Eagle Rock Music Festival."
Although the back-to-school dance took advantage of the excitement and returned, the mood was not bad today. Gu Luobei and Eden Hudson didn't go back to the dance floor, they went straight back to the main road from the back and walked towards the dormitory. When passing by the door, the dance party inside was very lively, so the door was very deserted. The man Eden Hudson said about besieging Gu Luobei saw it at a glance.
The man also saw Gu Luobei and Eden-Hudson at once. There was no one at the door. Gu Luobei and Eden-Hudson were both attractive, so it was not unusual to be seen. .
The man walked up quickly, obviously seeing Gu Luobei with great difficulty, and was absolutely unwilling to give up this opportunity. What I said just now was schadenfreude, but at this time Eden Hudson stood a little forward and fought side by side with Gu Luobei. If the other party is really looking for trouble, he will definitely face Gu Luobei together. of.
"Mr. Bell?" There seemed to be some uncertainty in the other party's voice, but after approaching, seeing Gu Luobei nodded, his voice became much more confident, "Hello, I'm Richard- Kelly, a director. I contacted you through SAG…”
"Are you the director?" Gu Luobei frowned slightly, how could there be a director waiting for him at the door of the homecoming dance. He's not a famous actor, and it makes sense to wait for Natalie Portman.
"Yes! I contacted your agent, Mr. Teddy Bell, two weeks ago and hoped that you would be able to participate in my film interview, but you refused." Richard Kelly speaks quickly and focuses very well, A few words can clarify the problem.
Gu Luobei immediately remembered that on the day he came back from Los Angeles, Teddy Bell mentioned this to him. At that time, he had no time to go to Los Angeles because he had to see the professor again and the new semester had begun. Interview, so I let Teddy Bell push it directly. Unexpectedly, the other party has such perseverance to come to Cambridge from Los Angeles.
"Are you sure this is an interview? Why do you feel like I'm a super big name? It wasn't you who interviewed me, but I interviewed you and made you rush over from Los Angeles." Gu Luobei's words made Richard Kelly laugh. , From this smile, it can be seen that he is relieved, and it can also be seen that he is also a college student. It was determined that it was not a "disaster", but a happy event. Eden Hudson's muscles also relaxed, but he still stood beside him with a face like an iceberg.
"Since you're here, let's find a place to sit down and talk. No matter who is interviewing who, we have to talk." Gu Luobei made a decision immediately and took Richard Kelly to the bar outside the school go. Eden Hudson saw that there was no good show to watch, and he didn't like social situations, and he was not interested in bars, so he went back to the dormitory alone.
I came to the "Hungry. Thirsty Student Bar" at the entrance of the school. The bustling bar on weekdays seemed a little deserted today. People who like bars are all at the homecoming dance at this time, and people who don't like bars are also at the homecoming dance.
Although the director came to the door and made any actor feel happy, Gu Luobei was obviously not flattered, but calmly confirmed the identity of Richard Kelly - the identity certificate of the director's union, and also took Here comes the script handed over by Richard Kelly. It's not that Gu Luobei is too careful, but Richard Kelly? Gu Luobei really had no impression of the director's name.
As for the script that simply bound a stack of A4 paper, Gu Luobei just glanced at the white cover, which said "Tony-Dake". specific memory. Gu Luobei didn't pay attention to the script, but talked to Richard Kelly.
"Mr. Kelly, I haven't acted in any movies and TV shows, and there are only a handful of people who know that I am registered with the Screen Actors Guild. I wonder how you know me?" Gu Luobei put the script on the table, It seems that there is no interest in it for the time being.
This made Richard Kelly's eyes twinkle. He didn't know that Gu Luobei refused the interview at will because he didn't have time to go to Los Angeles. He took it for granted that Gu Luobei was a 25-year-old director I have no confidence, so I can't help thinking about how to convince the other party to read the script first.

Gu Luobei didn't know what Richard Kelly was thinking, but he didn't finish his words, "What's more, as a newcomer without any qualifications, I have no one thousand and eight hundred in Hollywood. Since I rejected your offer You came to Boston in person for the interview, and I was really flattered by the treatment." Although Gu Luobei said so, his eyes were not so meaningful at all, just polite.
"Mr. Bell, I saw your performance on the Broadway stage of 'Cats' two weeks ago." Richard Kelly's words surprised Gu Luobei. He didn't expect it to be a Broadway stage at all. "After learning that you rejected the interview, I also interviewed several young people in Hollywood. Unfortunately, I have not been able to find a suitable candidate. After hesitating, I still think you are very suitable for this role, so I came to Boston." Two weeks, Richard Kelly auditioned in Los Angeles for two weeks and met a dozen young actors, but unfortunately they were not satisfied. He came to see Gu Luobei this time because he made a great determination. After all, it is usually the director who interviews the actors, and now Gu Luobei, a rookie actor, has himself come to be interviewed, which is indeed very novel. This is also Richard Kelly's last desperate attempt. If Gu Luobei doesn't work after the interview, although he will meet a few young people next week, as for the possibility, Richard Kelly has no hope.
Although Richard Kelly's words were short, they contained a lot of information, and Gu Luobei immediately reacted. Not to mention the script, Richard Kelly's sincerity alone is worthy of praise, and he is completely a rookie actor. Since others value it so much, what about an interview.
Second update today. During the period of the new book, the collection is necessary, and the recommendation is also necessary, hehe.
