บท 65: Chapter 65: Why not give me your recommendation?
"Mr. Moritz, there's something else I need you to forgive me for," Richard said.
"What is it?"
"The thing is, I actually asked Jim to bring you here."
"What?!"
Neil Moritz was stunned. He asked Jim to bring him here, and Jim was his son. What was his relationship with Jim?
"Jim and I are friends."
Richard smiled and shouted to Jim, who was queuing at the counter, "Jim, I just ordered two portions. Why don't you come and eat with us?"
"Oh, okay!"
Jim came over again.
"..."
Neil Moritz looked at him, then at his son. How come things suddenly became strange after going upstairs? How could these two people, one big and one small, be friends? And what was this guy up to?
"Mr. Brad, what do you want to do?" Neil Moritz asked with a sullen face.
"Jim, eat, but don't eat too much. Eating too much will make you fat, and too much fat will make you unable to run and have no strength," Richard said.
"Okay, then what should I eat to become as strong as you?" Jim asked, gnawing on fried chicken.
"To be like me, you not only need to eat well, but also strengthen your exercise."
Seeing Neil Moritz's face about to turn black, he smiled at Jim, "Jim, let me talk to your dad first, and I'll tell you later."
"Okay, hurry up!"
Jim took out his Walkman and listened to music while eating.
"Mr. Moritz, please don't misunderstand. I spent a few years in an orphanage when I was young, so I like children more," Richard explained.
Neil Moritz frowned. He didn't think there was any connection between being in an orphanage and liking children. He only knew that this guy was an orphan.
"Okay, Mr. Brad, what can I do for you?"
"About the audition," Richard smiled. "I just auditioned for the 'Dangerous X Game' crew, but unfortunately I didn't get to meet Mr. Moritz."
"Did you audition for the male lead, Sabas?"
"Yes, after reading the script, I felt that I was very similar to Sabas. I like this character and I am confident that I can play this role well. Mr. Moritz, do you think I still have a chance?"
"No!"
Neil Moritz said bluntly, "Mr. Brad, you are excellent, but Ryan Phillippe is more suitable for this role. Jim, we should go."
"Dad, wait, I haven't finished my fried chicken yet," Jim said, taking off his headphones.
"You can eat it when you get back!"
"No, I want to eat it here!"
"..."
Neil Moritz sighed and sat down again. He glanced at the guy opposite him and felt very unhappy.
"Mr. Brad, your image and temperament are very suitable for Sabas. You have worked with Director Davis, so your acting skills should be fine, but for this movie, Ryan Phillippe is more suitable.
He has worked with Sarah Michelle Gellar before, so working together again will be smoother. He and Reese, who plays the second female lead, Annie, are in love, so they can better integrate into their roles.
Besides, Ryan Phillippe is already famous. If you were me, who would you choose?"
Neil Moritz spread his hands.
Richard smiled, "Mr. Moritz, would you like to hear my story?"
"What story?"
"Life story."
Richard sighed and said slowly, "My family is in the Bronx. I had a very happy childhood, but thirteen years ago, there was a turmoil. My father died unexpectedly, my mother died of illness, and I was sent to an orphanage. My happy life came to an abrupt end.
At that time, I was only seven years old, thin and small. In the orphanage, I was often bullied and couldn't eat enough. Until one day, a nurse helped me stand up for myself, took me to the doctor, and brought me food every day.
Her name is Kathy, the first noble person (Mr. Clutch) in my life.
Unfortunately, last September, she was diagnosed with breast cancer and needed a lot of money for treatment. Oh, please don't misunderstand, I don't mean to beg for donations, I solved that money myself.
Not long ago, I participated in a life-and-death battle in the underground boxing ring and finally earned 200,000 US dollars, but I also offended the dealer. After that, I was shot here."
Richard pulled down the clothes on his shoulder, "This shot earned more than 200,000, and it also covered Kathy's surgery fee. I think it's worth it."
"Richard, you are so powerful, were you bullied when you were young?" Jim asked in surprise.
"Of course, Peter Parker was often bullied before he became Spider-Man, but it doesn't matter if we are bullied. As long as we don't give up, it will become our motivation to become stronger," Richard said, clenching his fist.
"Yes, I will become strong too."
The little guy bumped his fist against his.
Neil Moritz frowned, this son had a problem, he couldn't keep him.
"I lived in the orphanage for more than two years before I was taken away by my uncle. Because of his work, he stayed abroad all year round and sometimes only came back to China once every few years.
He is also a noble person in my life. He not only gave me a home again, but also taught me a lot of things, such as foreign languages, driving, communication skills, and self-defense."
Sometimes he would also tell me some big truths, such as people should learn to be grateful and appreciate those who have helped you. People should also learn to be self-reliant and become a valuable person, a person who can help others, and then you will have more friends.
For many years after that, I have been practicing this sentence. I kept practicing boxing, learning acting, learning all kinds of knowledge and life skills, and striving to become a strong and valuable person.
After my uncle, I met two more noble people, my coach, an old man who likes to gamble. He led me on the path of boxing, and Mr. Daniel Lewis, who led me into the film industry.
They helped me at a critical time and gave me a chance. I am very grateful to them. If they need my help in the future, I will do my best to repay them."
Richard paused and smiled, "Mr. Moritz, I think you can understand what I mean. I think I am a very potential guy, no worse than any young actor in the industry.
If Mr. Moritz, you hold a recommendation ticket in your hand, why not vote for someone with more potential? Someone who can get a bigger return?"
Neil Moritz pondered, stroking his chin stubble.
"Hey, are you guys done talking? If you're done, it's my turn," Jim interrupted.
"What do you want to say?"
"Richard, how can I become as strong as you? Can you teach me?" Jim asked.
"Haha, I'd be happy to teach you, but I know someone who is even better than me. As long as you follow him and listen to him, he will definitely teach you the most powerful skills without reservation."
"Oh, is there someone even better than you?" Jim asked curiously.
"Yes, that's your dad. Your dad is much better than me. Look, I was just asking your dad for help." Richard laughed.
"Really?"
Jim looked at his dad and shook his head, "But I still want to be like you and be able to break a tree with one punch. If I were as strong as you, no one would dare to bully me at school."
"Jim, is someone bullying you at school?" Neil Moritz asked.
"No!" Jim lowered his head again.
"Sigh~"
