60. Chapter 60

After eating, Lan Xiu stuffed Yu Ziyu and Yao Ling with $5,000 of pocket money each, and handed them over to the private guide who rushed over, while he hurried to Beverly Hills in Los Angeles.

Scott's home is in Beverly Hills, although Lanxiu has always felt that the house there is too small, the garden is too small, and it is completely incomparable to his grandfather's big estate, but it is close to Hollywood studios, and there are many celebrities in the circle, and the location is very conducive to the development of their family's industry.

The current chairman of the Scott Group is named Nick Scott, and his youngest son is Lanxiu's father, Connor Scott. Mr. Scott is one of the top ten directors in Hollywood, and he owns Cosmos Films, one of the top three film and television companies in the United States. Lanxiu's mother, Olivia Scott, was originally an Air Force captain, but after being discharged from the army, she met Mr. Scott on a paiduรฌ, and the two fell in love instantly, and then married at lightning speed. After that, she entered the showbiz under the leadership of her husband and became a double actress in the 90s. However, not long after Lan Xiu was born, in order to concentrate on taking care of Lan Xiu, she gradually stopped filming and became a novelist, and now she is also well-known in the literary circle. Lan Xiu also has two older brothers and an older sister, they are more than ten years older than Lan Xiu, they have already had their own careers, and now they are also very successful in their respective fields.

Mrs. Scott is a rather charming lady, her appearance is very flamboyant, her facial features perfectly combine the three-dimensional of the Caucasian race and the delicacy of the Oriental, when she was young, she was like a blooming rose, every smile and smile are beautiful, attracting the attention of the whole Hollywood. Now that she is older, Mrs. Scott's warm temperament has gradually settled down into an elegant and touching mature lady, but the years have not left many marks on her face, and she still looks as beautiful and moving as when she was younger.

Now the elegant lady was a little anxious, and from time to time she had to look out the window, she was waiting for her precious little son Lan Xiu to come home, and Mrs. Scott had been in the living room since she received a call from Lan Xiu at noon, hoping to see him as soon as Lan Xiu returned. God knows how much she misses her baby son, she hasn't seen him in months, and even though they video chat a lot, that doesn't ease her longing for him.

When Lan Xiu quietly walked into the house, he saw Mrs. Scott frowning and looking out the window, and couldn't help but smile with joy. He came quietly to Mrs. Scott's life on tiptoe, then covered Mrs. Scott's eyes and said in a tone of pretended mystery, "Guess who I am?"

Mrs. Scott's heart instantly became steady, she laughed and grabbed Lan Xiu's two dishonest paws, and said, "I guess it's Lan Xiu, did you say I guessed right?"

"Ah, you guessed it, Mom, you're always so smart. Lan Xiu pretended to sigh in disappointment, then let go of his hand and sat down in front of the sofa, hugged Mrs. Scott and rubbed her head on her neck, and said coquettishly in a sweet and greasy tone: "Mom, I miss you so much, I can't sleep well at night without my mother giving me a goodnight kiss." โ€

Mrs. Scott's favorite thing is that her youngest son is coquettish to her in a soft and glutinous tone, which always makes her mother's love burst, so Mrs. Scott immediately held Lan Xiu's face, and then kissed it several times: "Mommy misses you too, Mommy's little baby." Let my mother see if she has lost weight? I must not even be able to eat well in Huaguo, listen to my mother's words, I must bring a chef this time, you know?"

Of course, Lan Xiu eats well and sleeps well in Huaguo, but his love for his mother is still quite useful, but it is really inconvenient for him to take a cook in his current situation, so he said: "Mom, I still live in the hotel, the new house smells bad, I didn't go to live, let's wait for Fabry to graduate, let them go together." โ€

Mrs. Scott immediately denied Lan Xiu's words: "Then let the chef stay in the hotel together, you are growing up now, you must eat better, filming is already very tiring." โ€

"Mom, how can you stay in a hotel and bring your own chef, and that will make my aunt think that I am not satisfied with the service of their hotel. Lan Xiu said, he thought it was better not to provoke his little aunt, that is a lady who takes building the world's most popular hotel as the ultimate goal of life, if she knew that Lan Xiu lived in the hotel and brought a chef over, she would definitely think that the hotel chef's cooking skills were problematic, and then vigorously rectify it, it would be too troublesome.

Mrs. Scott obviously thought of that picture as well, so she shook her heart, but she soon thought that Lan Xiu was going to go out on location when she returned, so she said: "Of course I know that the food in their hotel is good, but didn't you say that you will go out when you go back, and you will definitely not be able to eat well in the wilderness when the time comes, so it is better to bring a chef." โ€

"Mom, we're going to film and television for a while, so don't worry about it. Besides, Fabry will graduate in less than half a month after I go back, and he will be arranged by that time. You know, I'm impatient to manage the people down there, and I'm not happy to bring a chef I don't know. Lanxiu shook Mrs. Scott's arm and said.

Mrs. Scott also knows Lan Xiu's temper, looking good at talking, he is actually the most frizzy inside, and if the people below take care of him who is slightly dissatisfied, he will lose his temper, and it is really bad to have no one to mediate, so he had to compromise and said: "Okay, but you have to remember to take care of yourself." You should bring your agent and assistant with you today, let me have a good talk with them, they don't know your habits and will definitely not take good care of you. โ€

"It's a bit uncomfortable to use, but it's okay, just wait for Fabry to arrive. But I don't want them to know that I'm from the Scott family, and it's not challenging to get to the top without having to put in any effort wherever I am. Lan Xiu said that although he was naturally lazy, that didn't mean that he liked to get everything without putting in the effort, on the contrary, because he could get whatever he wanted in any life, he lost interest in some things that were at his fingertips.

"Okay, okay, as long as my precious son is happy. Mrs. Scott said helplessly.

"Mom, don't sigh, come and see the gift I brought you. Lan Xiu said, then ran to the door and took the bag he had just placed at the door, and took out a book-sized box from it and put it in Mrs. Scott's hand, "Open it and take a look, I've been choosing it for a long time." โ€

"What is it, I am really looking forward to it. Mrs. Scott said, and smiled like a child and quickly opened the gift box.

Inside the box was a folded boxy silk fabric, the color was a beautiful violet, very similar to the color of Lan Xiu's eyes, and there was a red carnation on the cloth.

"It's beautiful, thank you, baby. โ€

Lan Xiu happily accepted these kisses, and he returned a big fragrant kiss on Mrs. Scott's face, and then asked, "Will Dad come back today? We haven't eaten together for a long time." โ€

"Your eldest brother and sister are not in the United States, your second brother said that he would dare to come back, your father is not sure yet, you know, he always forgets the time when he works. Mrs. Scott said with some regret that everyone in their family was too busy, either this or that, and they really hadn't sat down to eat together for a long time. used to be better, Lan Xiu would always accompany her, since Lan Xiu went to the flower country, she was often left alone to eat, which really made people feel lonely.

"Then let's call Dad, I'm finally back, it's not okay if you don't eat with me." Lan Xiu said with a puffed face.

Naturally, the son's small request had to be satisfied, and Mrs. Scott pinched Lanxiu's cheek, and immediately called her husband Connor's phone, but it was Mr. Scott's assistant who answered the call, because Mr. Scott, who was busy with work at the moment, was not in a good mood.

In one of the studios of Cosmic Films, Connor is working on the interior scene of the movie "Midnight Confusion", but it doesn't go very well. Angelina, the second female lead, seemed to be a little absent-minded, a quarrel scene was not ideal after filming six or seven times, and she had no intention of improving at all, which quickly consumed Connor's already small patience. He was in a hurry to finish today's task so that he could go home to see his son, but this woman was always full of mistakes and omissions, and he couldn't bear it.

After Angelina made another mistake, Connor finally couldn't help but roar: "Cut!cut!!cut!! Angelina, you didn't eat at noon today, did you? Do you want me to stuff a few burgers into it for you personally??? why are you wasting everyone's time here, if you don't want to act, leave immediately, I believe that Burbank has enough actors to take over this role!"

Angelina didn't wait for Payne to finish scolding, her eyes were red, tears were falling down, and she couldn't help but cover her mouth sadly and apologize: "I'm sorry...... Sorry director, I ...... My mom was in a car accident this morning and I'm really worried about her. I beg your pardon...... I promise there won't be a next time. โ€

But Connor didn't forgive her for this reason, if Angelina told him about it before filming started today, he might have kindly changed the schedule for her and gave her a few days off, but since she came to film, then she should abide by the professional ethics of an actor. He angrily threw down the script in his hand and shouted: "Don't make any excuses for me unless you receive a critical illness notice from your mother! Remember your profession, I don't want you to be perfunctory here." โ€

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm really sorry!" Angelina immediately collapsed when she heard such an unkind scolding, but she didn't dare to refute, because Connor was not only the director of this movie, but also the owner of the Universe Film Studios, so she only dared to squat on the ground and cry while shouting sorry.

Angelina's agent Charlie saw that Connor's face was dark, and hurriedly ran forward to help apologize, "Director Scott, I apologize to you on behalf of Angie, she is still young and her heart is not strong enough, I will definitely talk to her well, please forgive me, I promise that she will be able to shoot this scene soon." โ€

"Hopefully. Connor shrugged, but still gave Charlie a face, "Remember, a fifteen-minute break, or I wouldn't mind deleting a few shots." โ€

"I know I know, I promise Angie will get fit. Charlie hurriedly thanked him, ran over and helped Angelina, who was still crying, to sit in the rest area, he was also very angry at the moment, because Angelina did not tell him about his mother's car accident, otherwise he would never let Angelina continue today's shooting.

"Angie, shut up for me, what are you doing? Why don't you tell me about your mother's car accident, I'm your agent, can't you believe it?" said Charlie, holding back his anger.

"I'm sorry, Charlie, I thought I could do it. Angelina said aggrievedly wiping her tears.

"You think!? You have to be careful, Angie, the unexpected success of the previous low-budget comedy made you a little carried away. This is Burbank, and nine and a half out of ten of the people walking on the street outside are actors, and I can grab a handful of someone as famous as you. I did my best to help you get the supporting role in this movie just to repay your brother's favor, not how much talent you have. Think about it yourself, if you don't shoot well after fifteen minutes, the director will delete your scene. โ€

Charlie went out angrily after saying this, completely ignoring whether Angelina himself can adjust the relationship, he has already made up his mind to part ways with Angelina after filming this scene, so there is no need to bother. has been in Hollywood for more than ten years, Charlie has brought twenty or thirty stars, he can tolerate those little stars are stupid and incompetent, can tolerate their eccentric and irritable personalities, and can even endure that they are always Y sucking D, the only thing that can't stand is that the people under him don't trust him, the former he can try his best to help them, and the latter will only bring endless trouble.

Angelina was very overwhelmed, she didn't expect Charlie to be so angry, she really wanted to chase Charlie and explain it to him, but now is obviously not a good time, she had to send her assistant out and ask him to apologize for herself.

The heroine Tatiana carefully arranged her hair, she sat less than two meters away from Angelina, and the conversation between the two naturally did not escape her ears. Looking through the mirror at Charlie's back as he left in a rage, Tatiana gloated. After thinking about it, she hooked her finger at the little assistant who was standing behind her and sorted out her costume, and whispered, "Susan, go buy me a burger and ask for more ketchup, you know." โ€

"Of course, Tina, I'll go. Susan blinked knowingly, she had been following Tatiana for years, and of course she understood what she meant.

It didn't take long for Susan to walk into the studio with a plate full of fast food, with hot burgers, fried chicken, fries and large cups of coffee on the tray, and a small pile of tomato sauce squeezed in a small plastic bowl on the side.

Fifteen minutes later, Connor's roar rang out again in the studio.

"What's on your clothes, why do you get the damn ketchup, and if you don't want to act, you can just say to me, you don't need to damage the crew's costumes to show your determination. Now you can go, right now! right now!now!!"

Angelina clutched the clothes over her shoulders with two bright red ketchup stains, and she immediately understood that it was a clumsy ruse. She glared at Tatiana angrily, as if she was going to pounce on her opponent and bite off her face.

"Idiot. โ€

Charlie left Angelina one last comment in his heart, and with an expressionless face, he instructed the assistant to pull Angelina aside. Half of the movie has been filmed, and it is definitely impossible to change the actors, but Angelina's scene has undoubtedly been deleted. But he will never worry about this anymore, when he returns to the studio and sees Angelina eating the food Susan bought, he knows that this girl is hopeless, even if he forgets his advice, but after a year in Hollywood, he does not even have the least vigilance, such a person is destined to be stupid to death.

Connor sat on the rest bench with a black face, obviously angry, and the staff around him didn't dare to come out, their director is usually a kind and humorous gentleman, but he is by no means a good stubble to start a fire, how many Hollywood actors and actresses have been scolded by him.

Tatiana looked at Angelina who was cowering in the corner and took a sip of coffee that was already a little cold, and then turned her head casually and began to read the script, even if the whole studio knew that the two tomato sauces were made by her Tatiana, but so what, when that stupid girl didn't know how thick the sky was to offend her, she should be mentally prepared.

Susan glanced at Tatiana, who was satisfied, and walked away with the tray, in order to maintain her figure, Tatiana would never eat these high-calorie foods, so these foods were all cheap for her. made an appointment with Lucy, Tatiana's new exclusive makeup artist, and the two hid in the corner of the studio and ate a lot, while not forgetting to sarcastically say a few words to Angelina.

Lucy gnawed on the chicken wings and said, "Oh, find the little poor mother, hehe, she's so stupid, if I ...... her" Suddenly Lucy paused in the middle of speaking, her eyes were shining in the direction of the door, and the whole person looked very excited.

Susan followed her gaze suspiciously, and then her eyes widened as well.

At the door of the studio, a beautiful boy came in, he was simply beautiful, a simple white T and jeans can be worn with a unique charm, the boy's violet eyes are even more charming, his appearance seems to illuminate the entire studio, and instantly attracted the attention of everyone present.

"God, where did this beautiful boy come from, my God, he's so good-looking!" Lucy clasped her hands tightly, and her voice sounded a little trembling.

Susan pouted strangely when she heard this, the teenager who came in was indeed very beautiful, but there was no shortage of beautiful women and handsome guys in Hollywood, and she had long been used to it. And the boy looked like he was only fifteen or sixteen years old, so โ–กโ–ก couldn't attract her. What really appealed to Susan was the diamond watch on the boy's wrist that was enough for her to buy a mansion.
