"Mr. Hardy, do you think my performance was okay?" Taylor asked, breathing slightly.

"Your ballet is beautiful," Hardy gave a pertinent answer.

The girl rolled her eyes and mustered up the courage to ask, "Mom said there is a character in Mr. Hardy's movie. I want to ask, is the movie you are going to make the story you told me before?"

"You're looking for a girl of thirteen or fourteen to play Matilda?"

"Yeah, so what, do you want to act?" Hardy asked.

"Yes, of course."

Taylor nodded.

When she first heard Hardy tell the story, Taylor thought it was interesting, and the role of the girl was very tense and challenging. If she could play it well, it would definitely be an outstanding role.

But at this time Hardy shook his head.

Taylor was stunned.

Thought Hardy had rejected him.

She asked with some confusion, "Mr. Hardy, what do you think is wrong with me? I still have many talents to show. How about I perform another drama for you?"

Taylor knows.

This is definitely a rare opportunity. Her mother has told her that Mr. Hardy might invite the great director Hitchcock to direct this movie and will cooperate with MGM. Moreover, Matilda will be the heroine, a real heroine with a lot of roles. She really doesn't want to give up.

"I just told you the story of Matilda. Do you think you two have anything in common?" Hardy asked.

Taylor thought about it for a moment.

Then he shook his head in frustration.

Matilda is a child who grew up in a slum. Her father is a small-time drug dealer and her mother is a prostitute. Her family is very unhappy and she has suffered a lot since childhood.

She always has scars on her face.

Some were beaten by their mothers, and some were beaten by their sisters.

"Taylor, have you noticed that you always have a haughty demeanor? This is very different from Matilda."

"I doubt you can play this role well."

Taylor bowed his head.

Because she felt that what Hardy said was right.

My temperament is very different from Matilda's.

He shook his lips vigorously.

Taylor raised her head, and Hardy noticed that there was a layer of moisture on her big eyes.

The girl is going to cry.

But I'm trying hard to endure it.

"Mr. Hardy, I am willing to work hard to change my role. Can you give me a chance?" the girl said in a pleading tone.

"If you want to change, you may have to suffer a lot. Are you willing to do that?" Hardy asked.

"Yes, I am not afraid of hardship."

Taylor gritted his teeth.

"Taylor, call your mother over here," Hardy said.

Taylor thought Hardy had rejected her, and she walked to her mother in a daze. Sarah saw tears in her daughter's eyes and looked like she was about to cry, so she quickly asked her what was wrong.

Taylor repeated Hardy's words to his mother.

"Mr. Hardy said that my temperament was very different from that of the protagonist. I said I was willing to work hard to change. Mr. Hardy did not answer and asked me to come over and ask you to come over."

Sarah came to Hadi holding her daughter's hand.

"Mr. Hardy, Isa is a very hard-working child. She is also very smart. Can you give her a chance?"

Sarah continued to plead for her daughter.

Because she knew this was a very rare opportunity.

This time Hardy did not refuse.

But I pretended to think about it.

Looking at Taylor again, "You are really willing to work hard. Maybe you will suffer a lot in the process, and you will learn a lot."

Taylor heard Hardy's tone, as if he was going to give her a chance, and immediately said excitedly: "Mr. Hardy, I am willing to work hard and I am not afraid of hardship."

Sarah beside him also pleaded for mercy.

"Mr. Hardy, please give Sarah a chance. She is really smart."

Look at the mother and daughter.

Hadi thought.

Does what I am doing now count as bullying the little girl?

No,

I am saving her.

Hardy looked at Taylor and said:

"Well, the film is still in preparation, and the official shooting will probably start in a few months. If you are not afraid of hard work, I can train you during this time."

The girl was delighted.

"I am not afraid of hardship and I am willing to accept Mr. Hardy's training."

Taylor's mother Sarah also said:

"Thank you Mr. Hardy for giving Isa this opportunity. Isa will definitely learn well."

......

The next day.

Hardy came to the movie company.

Call the two scriptwriters.

He took out a piece of manuscript paper from his body. This was the outline of "Leon: The Professional" that he wrote last night.

Hardy didn't know what the original script was like. He wrote this manuscript completely according to the plot of the movie, and even copied some classic lines directly.

Matilda asked Leon, "Has life always been this painful? Or was it only like this when you were a kid?"

Leon thought about it and said that he had not deceived the girl. "It's always like this."

Matilda looked at Leon, "Leon, I feel like I'm in love with you. This is my first love, do you know that?"

"How do you know this is love if you've never been in love?" Leon said lightly.

“Because I feel it.”

"Where?"

The girl smiled and said, "It feels warm in my stomach. My stomach used to be always in knots, but now it doesn't."

Leon made a helpless expression, "Matilda, I'm glad your stomach problem has healed, but I don't think that means anything."

After reading the story outline, the two screenwriters thought it was a great story with an alternative feel.

"Assistant Hardy, I think you are a talented screenwriter. No one has ever written a story like this." said a screenwriter.

"I like this story very much and I believe it will be a great film." said another screenwriter.

Hardy didn't care whether the two screenwriters were trying to flatter him.

"I'll give it to you. I want to see the script within three days. Any problem?"

"No problem, three days is enough. In fact, your outline is already very detailed. We just need to process it into a script."

Hardy left the film studio in his Packard.

Pick up Elizabeth Taylor in Beverly Hills.

Taylor's family background is actually quite good. Her father is an art gallery owner who sells paintings, some of which are by famous artists, and earns tens of thousands of dollars a year.

Although Taylor's house is also a villa, it cannot be compared with the mansions of Mayer and Siegel.

Hardy rang the doorbell.

Sarah opened the door.

Seeing Hadi's smiling face, "Please come in, Mr. Hadi. Isa is ready. I will ask her to come down now."

Hearing Hardy coming, Taylor ran down from upstairs.

The girl had long wavy hair, wore a white pleated skirt, a pair of pretty leather shoes, had makeup on her face, and lipstick on her lips.

Hardy looked at Taylor.

He shook his head.

"What's wrong, Mr. Hardy, don't you think this is beautiful?" Taylor asked.

"It's beautiful, but it's not the effect I want. Taylor, go change into shorts and a T-shirt, and also, wipe off the makeup and lipstick on your face." Hardy said in a slightly commanding tone.

Taylor paused, then went upstairs to change his clothes.

Taylor came down soon after, completely dressed. She was wearing jeans that revealed her straight thighs, a T-shirt, and all the makeup and lipstick on her face were wiped off.

Hardy took a closer look.

"Well, now I feel the feeling. Let's go."

Hardy went out,

Sarah was ready to follow.

Hardy turned to the woman and said, "Ms. Sarah, I want to train Taylor alone. If you follow me, the effect will be greatly reduced."

Sarah was stunned for a moment.

She has been very strict with her daughter since she was young, controlling her in every aspect. Sometimes Taylor feels constrained by her strictness and sometimes gets angry with her mother.

You can see Hardy's determined look.

If he disagreed, he would probably give up training Taylor.

In order to get the heroine,

Sarah decided to let her daughter go out alone with Hadi.

Taylor was in Hardy's car.

This was her first time away from her mother.

It feels amazing.

Before, even when he went out to film a movie, his mother would always follow him. Now that his mother's gaze is gone, Taylor has a sense of freedom that comes from the bottom of his heart.

It's like throwing off the shackles,

Breaking free from the cage,

Soaring freely in the sky.

She looked at Hardy.

With a joyful smile on his face.

"Mr. Hardy, it feels good to be alone. What are we going to do next?"

"Go get your hair cut."

Many people's transformation starts with cutting their hair.

In the barber shop,

Taylor cut her long wavy hair and left a schoolgirl hairstyle similar to the one in the original movie.

Looking at myself in the mirror,

Taylor was astonished.

Because she found that she couldn't recognize herself anymore.

"If my mother saw me like this, she would scream to God," Taylor said with a smile.

Taylor's face is exquisite.

Even with her schoolboy haircut, she's still pretty.

It also has a more sophisticated feel.

In fact, Natalie Portman is also a great beauty with a delicate face, so there is no conflict between the two of them.

Hardy looked at Taylor's hair and wanted to rub it.

Then he rubbed it.

"Ah, it's messed up."

Taylor called out.

"Don't you find it looks better when it's messy?"

"no."

They got in the car.

Taylor was lying next to the car, looking at his hair in the rearview mirror.

"How do you feel?"

Taylor suddenly smiled slyly.

“Feeling freer!”

"What are we going to do next?" Taylor asked expectantly.

"Next we go to masturbate."

Hardy drove to Old Mike's gun shop and stopped the car at the door. Old Mike walked out of the gun shop. He recognized Hardy's car. Now Hardy is his biggest customer. All the guns and bullets used by the security company were bought from Old Mike.

Hardy is old Mike's supreme VIP customer.

Old Mike greeted Hardy and was slightly surprised to see a young girl, who looked to be about thirteen or fourteen years old, getting out of the passenger seat.

"What a pretty girl." Old Mike praised.

"Thank you."

Taylor smiled and thanked him, then looked around curiously.

Old Mac approached Hardy and whispered in his ear: "This girl doesn't look very old, you'd better be careful when you do that."

Hardy looked at his old friend.

"You misunderstood."

"Really? Haha, I'm a man. Would I mistake a man with a girl?" Old Mike pouted.

Go into the gun store.

Taylor was startled by the pile of guns.

She had been so well protected by her mother that she had never played with a gun. The few times she had contact with a gun were when she watched others hunt with a hunting rifle.

Hardy selected several pistols, took enough bullets, and took Taylor to the shooting range on the back mountain.

After loading the bullet, Taylor took it excitedly.

It feels heavy to the touch.

"Ever masturbated before?" Hardy asked.

"No." Taylor shook his head.

"Then I'll teach you."

Hardy grabbed Taylor from behind, held her in his arms, held the girl's delicate hands with both hands, and taught her how to hold the handle tightly.

Taylor was held in the man's arms, his back pressed tightly against the man's strong chest, and his waist was also pressed tightly.

It was the first time that a man had been so close to her.

Fourteen years old.

Adolescence is both ignorant and eager.

A different emotion gradually arose in my heart.
