Chapter 118: Suddenly Peach Blossom Forest (Ask for Subscription)
With the moon shining in the night sky, Ronan and Carmen Kaith exited the restaurant and walked along the brightly lit Wilshire Avenue toward the Four Seasons Hotel a short distance away.
The streets are bustling with cars, Beverly Hills is bustling, and the nightlife is just beginning.
Carmen Kayth took Ronan's arm and walked forward with the flow of people.
Ronan pointed to a place across the road and said, "That's the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences." ”
Carmen Kath stared at her for a moment and said, "It's such a small place. She said with a smile: "When I heard people talk about film schools, I always thought it was a very large place. ”
"The Film Academy is a loose organization, with a total of close to 6,000 members. Ronan explained simply, "This is where the academy's governing body is located...... Well, an organization like a council and a management academy, there are not many people. Academy membership is actually scattered across the United States and across the globe. ”
Carmen Kath asked curiously, "Are you one of them?"
Ronan turned around and continued walking towards the Four Seasons Hotel, saying as he walked, "Not yet. I've only been in Hollywood for two years, so I don't have enough qualifications, but I'll apply to the academy early next year, and if it goes well, I'll be one of the academy's 6,000 members in another year. ”
Carmen Kayes thought of the Model of the Year that was in contention and asked, "This membership is great for your career?"
Ronan turned his head to look at her and said, "It's also an honor to be eligible to vote for the Oscars, for example, I'm a member of the Producers' League, and once I become a member of the Academy, I have the right to vote for multiple heavyweight Oscars." ”
He thought about it for a while, and then said: "The main thing is that you can squeeze into the circle of film schools and broaden your network, and there are many places where there are opportunities, such as running a film to compete for the Oscar." ”
"Hmm. Carmen Kayce agrees: "Opportunities and relationships are very important, and the same is true for modeling. ”
The conversation between the two has always revolved around their careers.
She said softly: "Many models have similar basic conditions such as steps, appearance, and figure, and all they lack is an opportunity. ”
Ronan continued: "In fact, the entertainment industry and the modeling industry have commonalities. Remembering Carmen Keys' business investment, he says, "Sometimes it's not a good thing to step out of your circle and look from a higher place. ”
"That requires the right to do that. Carmen Kath was wearing a skirt, feeling that the night breeze was a little cool, and subconsciously grabbed Ronan's arm: "I left the modeling circle to invest in other industries, and found that my ability was too poor." ”
Ronan took off his coat, draped it over Carmen Kaith's shoulders, and said, "Don't rush, take it one step at a time. I experienced a very painful failure and the company almost went bankrupt. He said of Anderson's experience: "I was just out of school, full of confidence, and I felt that I could succeed only by being full of talent, but not only was I not able to do it, but I didn't have as much talent as I thought. ”
Carmen Kath laughed and encouraged, "Aren't you doing very well now?"
"You're not bad either. Ronan's old words were repeated: "Carmen, I am waiting for you to become the richest man in Estonia." ”
Carmen Kait's hearty smile was a little more sly: "Then I wish you to become the richest man in the United States as soon as possible." ”
Ronan touched his chin: "It's too difficult." ”
"Why don't we make a bet?" Carmen Kaith, with a playful look on her face.
Ronan looked at her curiously, from the earliest realization to the present, Carmen Kaith gave him the feeling of a very stable and very enterprising woman, perhaps it was these similar things that made him have an inexplicable liking for Carmen Kaith.
To put it bluntly, he doesn't like that kind of messy woman.
It was clearly a joke between friends, and Ronan asked, "Bet on what?"
Carmen Kayth stopped, looked at Ronan, and said, "How about seeing which of us becomes the richest man in our respective countries first?"
Ronan spread his hands helplessly: "It's not fair, right?"
What are the rich and famous people in Estonia? None of them except Carmen Kais.
Not to mention Gai, Ellison, and Buffett, David Geffen and George Lucas in Hollywood circles are not easy to surpass.
"I'm a woman, you're a man. Carmen Kath tilted her head, "There's got to be a little different, right?"
Ronan smiled and agreed, "Okay." He asked, "What's the stake?"
Carmen Kath thought for a moment and said, "I said the content of the bet, and the bet is yours. ”
Ronan didn't think much of it, and said casually: "A Franklin." ”
Carmen-Cayce understood what this meant, and shook her head: "The stakes are too small." ”
Ronan thought for a moment and said, "The loser asks the winner to do a trip around the world." ”
"This one is ok. ”
The two soon arrived at the door of the Four Seasons Hotel, Carmen-Cayce took off her coat and gave it back to Ronan, who pointed to the hotel: "Carmen, I'll send you up." ”
Carmen Kath hesitated for a moment, then nodded slightly, "Okay." ”
Ronan accompanies Carmen Keith into the hotel and takes the elevator to the floor where Carmen Keith is staying, where Carmen Keith invites him into the room.
"You sit casually. Carmen Kayce looked at the time and said to Ronan, "I have some work to deal with. ”
Ronan sat on the couch and said, "You get busy first." ”
Carmen Kayce smiled at him, took out her laptop radio, and when she got busy, she would say a few words to Ronan while looking at the screen: "I have some work in the Estonian business, models are always busy, and I can only find time to deal with them." ”
"You make me feel very different. Ronan said directly: "It's completely different from the model I remembered. ”
Carmen Kath flipped through the email and said, "The model in your impression has a chaotic life, drinks and drugs...... and she sighed lightly: "This situation is indeed very common in the modeling circle, but the vast majority of models who can go to the front line are people who work hard and have very strong self-control." ”
Ronan knew she had misunderstood and said, "Sorry, I didn't mean that. He said seriously: "I mean that most models don't have a long-term plan, they don't care about the future at all, and most of the supermodels don't really have their own careers, and they are all looking for someone with good conditions to marry at the right stage." ”
"You know so much. Carmen Kayth turned her head to look at the side.
Ronan smiled at her and said, "You're a model, so I'll learn more about the industry." ”
After disposing of the notebook, Carmen Kath closed the notebook, put it away, and asked, "Ronan, have you invested in any other industries?"
"I just got out of bankruptcy this year. Ronan was particularly honest: "There is no spare energy for the time being. However, I have a plan for this and am not in a position to implement it for the time being. ”
Carmen Kath asked, "What do you want to drink?"
Ronan said, "Water will do." ”
Carmen Kath sat on the couch next to Ronan with two glasses of water on the coffee table and asked, "What do you think of the future of the real estate industry?"
Ronan thought for a moment and replied, "The investment is big, the risk is big, and the profit is big. Worried about misleading Carmen Keith, he added: "I'm talking about the situation in North America, I haven't been to Estonia, I don't have a say." ”
Carmen Kayes asked, "What about the Hollywood film industry, is there a high return on investment?"
"It's a complex industry, especially for outsiders. Ronan said seriously: "There is no absolutely trustworthy insider, don't invest in Hollywood movies, there are many traps." ”
Carmen Kath said, "I can trust you. ”
Ronan replied, "I can't trust myself. ”
Carmen Kath was stunned, then understood what Ronan meant: "You're also the one who digs traps. ”
Ronan raised his finger in a silent gesture, then said in a joking tone, "I'm a good person." ”
As soon as the words ended, Carmen Kayth laughed, and Ronan laughed too.
The topic of the so-called film investment was also lightly shifted to the side by Ronan, perhaps influenced by his previous life, and he did not want to have a large financial entanglement with Carmen Keys.
In modern society, it is too easy to tear apart many close relationships due to entanglements in interests.
Strictly speaking, Ronan and Carmen Kaith have seen each other less than five times, but they have found common topics that interest each other, from Estonian real estate to the clothing industry, and Hollywood movies to Wall Street.
I have to say that Carmen Kath does have a good insight into business.
As the clock approached ten o'clock in the evening, Carmen Keith asked, "Ronan, you didn't drive, how can you get back?"
Ronan understood what he meant and said, "The hotel has a car for rent, I'll go down and call one." He stood up: "You rest early, we'll see you tomorrow." ”
Carmen Kath sent him to the door of the room: "See you tomorrow." ”
Ronan walked out the door and looked back at Carmen Keys, who was half leaning on the threshold.
"Carmen. Ronan looked into Carmen Keys' eyes.
Carmen-Kath didn't dodge, Ronan lowered her head to kiss her, Carmen raised her head slightly, four lips were printed together, and the two reached out and embraced.
Just like the hoe meets the noon, as if the Qingming meets the river map, the final result will inevitably be one to become the Yellow River, and the other to turn into a sea current.
Ronan hugged Carmen Kayth into the room and kicked it on the door, slamming it shut.
Carmen Kath lost her steadyness, showed all enthusiasm, and took advantage of the respite to whisper, "Don't be here, go to my bedroom." ”
Ronan picked her up and left, and in the face of Carmen Kaith's enthusiasm for melting everything, he could only return with a thousand miles of Gangneung.
Suddenly, Ronan had a wonderful feeling:
Suddenly, the peach blossom forest, hundreds of steps between the shore, there are no miscellaneous trees in it, the fragrant grass is delicious, and the falling water is colorful. If you want to exhaust the forest, the forest will run out of water, and you will get a mountain, and the mountain has a small mouth, and it enters from the mouth. At the beginning, it was extremely narrow, and it was only through people, and it was repeated dozens of times, and it suddenly became clear......
