When will my audition start?

Just as the car was started, Scarlett's voice sounded next to her, I've been waiting for a long time.

It will be a while. Duke turned the steering wheel and the car turned onto the main road. Someone will notify your mother then.

Oh... The little girl nodded, took out a small purse from her schoolbag, and flicked it out of the corner of Duke's eyes, I have the money ready.

Money? Duke glanced at the co-pilot suspiciously.

I said I wanted to treat you to ice cream. Scarlett Johansson blinked her bright eyes with a very innocent expression, Have you forgotten? I'm not like you, I like to play tricks.

Knowing how difficult this little guy was, Duke simply ignored her and focused on driving.

Hey, why don't you talk?

But after being quiet for two minutes, Scarlett couldn't help but say, Did it degenerate into an egg?

Eggs? Duke bared his teeth.

Yeah. The little girl explained seriously, When chickens are still eggs, they can't speak!

Miss Johnson!

Duke resisted the urge to give her a shudder.

Why don't we do this, let's guess the riddle.

This little guy really can't rest for a moment, regardless of whether Duke answers or not, he said directly, Long ears, white body, red eyes...

Regardless of the small talk next to him, Duke didn't answer any questions. He speeded up the car a little bit, and when he got home, he could throw the troublesome essence to his mother, otherwise his ears would be ground into a layer of cocoons.

The Bentley entered Santa Monica, and while the little girl took out a water bottle from her schoolbag to drink water, Duke asked curiously, Scarlett, aren't you tired?

Tired? Why are you tired? Scarlett asked curiously.

You said so much, Duke pulled out a hand and pointed to his mouth, Aren't you tired here?

No, the little girl put on a very hurt expression, Duke, do you think I'm noisy? Annoying?

Although Duke wanted to nod his head to admit it, there was only a child next to him, the goddaughter of his mother, so he shook his head against his will.

Don't lie to me. Scarlett curled her lips, It's not right!

Her bright eyes suddenly dimmed, This year, I transferred from New York to Los Angeles, my mother is busy with work and has no time to take care of me, my father is always hard to see, and my brothers don't like to play with little brats like me. I haven’t had time to make new friends at school, and I have to take an acting class after school. The acting class is full of children older than me, some of whom are adults, and also few people care about me. I usually don’t have any friends who talk to me.”

Sighing lightly, Duke turned his head to look at the girls who were less than ten years old. Whether these child star actors were lucky or unfortunate in their childhood, did they regret the choices their guardians made for them in the future? I'm afraid even them I can't understand it when I grow up.

This is a path of childhood that looks very glamorous, but is actually very abnormal. The road is full of temptations by the devil and countless dangers. Taking a wrong step will often lead to falling into the abyss, and there will be no chance to turn over.

Then I'll shut up.

Seeing that Duke didn't speak, Scarlett Johansson simply made a zipper gesture, wrinkled her nose and looked out the window.

With a slight smile, Duke still didn't speak. He didn't say anything until the car pulled into the garage at home and helped her unbuckle her seat belt, Come on, get out of the car.

The little girl turned her head away, picked up her schoolbag, opened the car door, jumped out of the car, and without waiting for Duke, passed through the passage skillfully and walked directly towards the villa, as if she had come more than once.

Following behind the little girl, Duke walked into the living room, Scarlett stepped up, ran directly to the sofa, and shouted affectionately to Mrs. Leah, who was sitting on it, Godmother.

Well, come here. Mrs. Leah took the schoolbag and said to the servant on the other side, Take Scarlett to wash up.

Mother……

After saying hello to the sofa, Duke entered another bathroom. After a simple wash, he came out, Ms. Sloan didn't come?

She's back in New York. Mrs. Leah said, looking in the direction of the bathroom, Scarlett is staying here for a few days, and will go home when her mother returns.

Then, his voice lowered a little, Melanie helped me a little when Santa Feia expanded her business in New York. The east and west coasts have always been at odds, and the same is true of Jewish circles. She is one of my introducers to the Jewish social circle in New York. one.

After waiting too long, the servant took Scarlett Johansson back to the living room. Mrs. Leah stood up and said to Duke, Take Scarlett upstairs to see the room, your former studio. prepare for dinner.

All the little girl's mischief seemed to disappear, she came over and grabbed Duke's sleeve, followed him upstairs, turned into the corridor on the second floor, Duke opened the temporary studio, which has changed its appearance, Not only has a beautiful children's bed been added to it, but the decor has also been transformed into a pink tones suitable for girls.

This is the bathroom... Duke walked her next to each other. This is the intercom. If there is any emergency, you can call the servant directly; this is the balcony, and you can see the sea from here.

Scarlett Johansson just nodded, but did not speak.

Any comments?

Standing on the balcony, after Duke finished asking, seeing her just shaking his head, he couldn't help frowning, Why don't you speak?

You allowed me to speak? Her grievances were written in her blue and green eyes.

When did I not allow you to speak?

Duke couldn't help sighing. This girl was too much trouble. He would rather fight with adult actors full of scheming than be a babysitter to coax children.

In the car. Scarlett pouted, You think I'm noisy.

I just don't have anyone to chat with... she muttered, I just want to talk to friends.

It's almost time.

Not answering her, he looked at his watch, Duke left the balcony directly, Scarlett followed from behind and grabbed his sleeve again, Duke turned his head, Let's go to dinner.

Aren't you angry anymore? she asked when she went down the stairs.

When did I get angry?

Despite all the headaches at her changing minds and faces, Duke wouldn't bother with a child.

The dinner was very rich, and it was obviously specially prepared. Although Duke could hear from his mother's words that accepting this goddaughter was not a gesture of retribution, his sense of Scarlett Johansson was not bad, and his words were not bad. Relatively affectionate, far less severe than when he was a child.

Of course, this is the difference between a boy and a girl, and a son and a goddaughter.

This country is far from the place where he once lived, which is both envious and demeaning to actors. This is a highly commercialized society. Any normal occupation is a reasonable choice. Hollywood and its surrounding industries can create hundreds of billions of dollars every year. The output value of the dollar, like businessmen, such as two Toms and actors such as Stallone and Schwarzenegger, will also be regarded by the United States as a model of success and the American dream.

When Mrs. Leah was eating, she would discuss some interesting things about acting school and Hollywood with Scarlett Johansson from time to time. Duke had also observed that the little girl was very well behaved, obviously very pleasing to her mother.

Smart and smart girls are always liked, and this is universal in the world.

The teachers at the acting school said that my talent is very good. Scarlett Johansson would also boast a few words, saying that if I meet a suitable role, maybe I can become a child star like Macaulay Culkin. .

I've seen your performance in Breaking the Dead Island. Mrs. Leah also encouraged at the right time, The shot is short, but impressive.

Thank you godmother. The little girl smiled sweetly.

Duke...

Hearing his mother's words, Duke raised his head and looked over. He hardly said a word throughout the dinner.

Scarlett's school and acting school are both in Burbank. You have moved back temporarily in the past few days. The mother obviously did not intend to discuss, Send her to school in the morning, and after class in the afternoon...

There is a special person from the acting school who will go to the school to pick it up. Scarlett said in a timely manner.

Well... Mrs. Leah nodded, You will go to the acting school in the afternoon to pick her up back to Santa Monica.

Mom, I don't have a fixed time for get off work. Duke felt a little headache, Sometimes I'll be late when I'm busy.

so……

Godmother. Scarlett Johansson spoke again, I can wait at school, it doesn't matter.

Hearing the little girl's words, Mrs. Lia looked over, Duke hesitated for a while, and finally nodded, sighing helplessly in his heart, it seemed that he shouldn't go home for dinner today, so he had to take the job of a temporary babysitter. .

Fortunately, it was just a ride in the morning and one night, and it didn't take up too much time, otherwise it would be troublesome.

Although Scarlett Johansson is only nine years old, she has a strong ability to take care of herself. She doesn't need anyone to take care of her food and clothes. The next morning, after Duke came back from a run on Seaside Boulevard and finished breakfast, he just drove into the car. In the yard, she came out at the right time and jumped on the co-pilot, and buckled her seat belt a few times.

Morning, Duke, she said with a smile.

Morning, Scarlett!

With a nod, Duke drove out of the house and onto the road to Burbank, sending Scarlett Johansson to the elementary school she was attending before rushing to Warner Studios.

As soon as he entered the Independence Day studio, Duke got the good news. After the great efforts of himself and Warner Bros. and 20th Century Fox, the Pentagon finally made a concession and no longer mandated changes to the end of the script and about Area 51. The content, aviation experts will be dispatched as soon as possible to guide the shooting of the air battle scene, and Edward Air Force Base and White Sands Missile Range can be loaned out as part of the film's location.

If necessary, the Pentagon will also send a team of fighter jets to directly participate in the filming.

Obviously, the Ministry of Defense decided to invest a certain amount of strength in this film, and cooperate with the director Duke to make a large-scale recruitment advertisement film!
