This is a famous Italian restaurant in Beverly Hills, called "Scarpetta", located in the Montage Hotel, and it was Sofia Coppola who brought Donn to visit once, and he was very impressed.

As Don approached the dining room with Natalie, she was dazzled by the beautiful layout.

The tall vaults, beautiful hanging gardens, and Mediterranean-style fountains embellish all the hallmarks of the Golden Age of Hollywood.

"I feel like I'm a big star when I come here!" Natalie whispered as she followed Donn.

Tang En was very calm, "Don't worry, I can guarantee that you will be a big star in the future, no worse than anyone else!"

Natalie's eyes lit up at once, and she raised her white jaw and looked at him, "Donn, I remember your words." ”

Don smiled, "Of course!"

After coming to the seat and ordering food, Natalie saw that Don was worried, so she pursed her lips and quipped: "Don, the whole of America where your private life is spread by newspapers knows, you don't really think I don't understand anything, do you?"

"Nat, I don't want to lie to you. Don's face was slightly condensed, rarely solemn, "The reports in the gossip tabloids are partly nonsense, and partly true. But that doesn't mean much, in my heart, you're different from them!"

"I know. ”

Natalie winked playfully and chuckled at the corners of her mouth.

"You know?"

Natalie rolled her eyes, "Of course I do. Don't look at me that I've never been in love, but whether you are sincere or not, whether you want to lie to me, I can still understand. ”

Don suddenly became overjoyed, "Nat, are you serious?"

"If it's fake, do you think I'm going to come out with you?" Natalie gave him a blank look, then said narrowly, "I've heard that couples in love have lower IQs, you ...... You're exaggerating, aren't you?"

"Ahem......"

Tang En was a little embarrassed, despised by an underage girl, and said angrily: "Nat, I'm serious, not joking!"

Natalie raised her hands, "Okay, okay, I was wrong, Director Walker, a lot, don't be like me as a little girl." ”

Don smiled dumbly, "Nat, I never thought you would be so cute. ”

"Are you complimenting me?" asked Natalie, embarrassed.

Don laughed, "Of course it's a compliment, have you forgotten another sentence? ”

"You're really sarcastic about me!"

Natalie gritted her teeth and glared at Don viciously.

Don couldn't help but laugh at her cute and delicate appearance, and a little distracted, he couldn't help but get up, and then leaned over to Natalie across the table.

Natalie was startled at first, and then her face turned crimson, and she subconsciously wanted to hide, but subconsciously she wanted to taste the taste of this first kiss.

After a little hesitation, he felt Tang En's fiery snort on his eyelashes, and his heart was like a deer, so he quickly closed his eyes, straightened his waist and sat down, as if he was accepting a solemn ceremony.

Naturally, Don couldn't treat Natalie as recklessly as he did with other Hollywood female stars, pecked her soft lips, and then sat back.

Don pursed his lips gently, feeling the moist and soft aftertaste.

Coincidentally, I found that Natalie Portman, who was sitting opposite, was also repeating the same movements as him, pursing her lips, and seemed to be deeply reminiscent.

At a certain moment, the two met their eyes, and after a little confrontation, they looked at each other and smiled.

"I thought it was sweet!" Natalie lowered her eyes a little shyly, took a sip of juice, and smacked her lower lip, "It's sweet now." ”

Don almost laughed, this Natalie, so cute.

"Nat, looking at you, I feel ...... I felt like my heart was melting. This was Donn's heartfelt words, if he heard someone say it, he would definitely get goosebumps, but in this situation, he felt that everything was taken for granted.

Natalie winked coquettishly, "You say that...... You've talked to a lot of girls, right?"

"Never!" Donn immediately shook his head and sighed, "Nat, this is Hollywood, there are some things...... You should be able to understand that it's not my problem. ”

The reason why Natalie was so strictly disciplined by her mother was because of the black miasma of Hollywood, of course she understood what Donn meant, and she didn't like this kind of black topic, so she asked instead, "Have you ever been in love?"

"Nope. ”

"Really?"

"If you don't count it at the moment, you don't. ”

Natalie sighed faintly, "It seems that we are all poor people." ”

Don raised his eyebrows, "Why do you say that?"

Natalie held her chin in one hand and fiddled with the straw in the juice with the other, and her voice was dismal, "Many of my classmates started to fall in love at the age of twelve or thirteen, and they ...... at the age of thirteen or fourteen Let's not talk about this, I always feel that the youth of the two of us is quite lacking. ”

"On the contrary, I think it's our luck. Don showed a gentle smile, "Nat, think about it, such a beautiful memory of first love, of course, is reserved for the most appropriate and suitable person." Isn't it romantic for us to exchange each other's first love?"

"Poof!" Natalie couldn't help but burst out laughing, "Don, I see, you're letting me drill again, right?"

Don En looked embarrassed and scratched his head, "This...... Nat, you're misunderstood, I didn't mean that. ”

"Hmph, don't try to lie to me!"

Natalie turned her head away, snorted, and then couldn't help it, and chuckled again.

At this time, a young girl with a delicate figure walked over in surprise, "Nat, is that you, Nat?"

Natalie looked up, and her face showed a little joy, "Sister Drew, what a coincidence, I met you here." ”

Don looked up, and the corners of his mouth trembled slightly, this woman he knew - Drew Barrymore, who was a problem girl who caused a sensation in Hollywood back then, but now has broken his bad habits.

Drew Barrymore took Natalie's little hand, looked her up and down, and said with a smile: "The last time we met, it was when we filmed "Everyone Says I Love You" together, but I didn't expect that in three years, you would grow into a big girl." ”

Natalie smiled sweetly and obediently, "Sister Drew, you're getting prettier too." ”

Drew Barrymore smiled happily, "Is this your boyfriend?"

Don Walker!

Who doesn't know in Hollywood?

Don quickly stood up and took the initiative to stretch out his right hand, "Hello, Miss Barrymore, I'm Don, and I'm a good friend of Nat. ”

"Is it really you?" Drew Barrymore exclaimed exaggeratedly, which is like a big star, just like a fan meeting an idol, but it's a pity that the acting skills are a little worse, "Director Walker, I really like your movie! "Titanic" is not to mention, "My Grand Greek Wedding" is also very exciting!"

"Oh, have you seen My Grand Greek Wedding?"

Drew Barrymore was a little proud, "yes, I went to the UK some time ago, and I saw it there, and it was a really good shot." ”

"Thank you. ”

Don smiled gently, and appropriately withdrew his hand.

This woman's hand is really tight!

Drew Barrymore didn't have any embarrassment on his face, looked at Natalie, and said enviously: "Nat, you have to take advantage of the opportunity, Director Walker is the dream male god of all actresses in Hollywood." ”

The expression on Natalie's face faded considerably, "We just met." ”

Drew Barrymore winked his eyes at her, "Take your chance!"

Then he secretly threw a wink at Don, took out a business card from his high-end handbag, and said meaningfully: "Director Walker, if you have something to do with work, you can call my personal number, and we can have in-depth communication." ”

Don remained silent, "Okay. ”

When Drew Barrymore left, the smile on Natalie's face suddenly retracted, and she puffed up a little, "Don, she was seducing you just now, right?"

Don looked at her curiously, "How did you tell?"

Natalie gritted her teeth and said, "Isn't it contradictory that she gave you a personal phone call, but she said that she wanted to talk about work? ”

Don smiled and said, "Nat, you're really smart. ”

"Hey!"

Natalie lowered her head in some frustration, and lost her appetite for a table of delicious food, "Donn, is this the case in Hollywood? At the beginning, when I was filming "Everyone Says I Love You" with Drew, the relationship was good, she took care of me like a big sister, but I didn't expect it...... She actually seduced my boyfriend. ”

"Boyfriend?" Donn looked at her playfully.

Natalie's expression froze, and she said loudly: "It's a good friend, you heard it wrong!"

Don didn't dwell on the topic, and sighed, "Nat, in Hollywood, everyone wants to be a big star, but how easy is this to say? For many actresses, this is just a shortcut." ”

"What about me?" Natalie spotted the ambiguity in Donn's words, "Didn't you say I could be a big star......?

Don quickly interrupted her and patted his chest, "Nat, remember, you are different from them!

……

That night, Natalie and her mother talked for a long time about a topic - the shortcut to a big star.

Natalie is Shirley Herschler's greatest hope in this life.

Since moving to the United States, Shirley Heschler has seen the luxury and pride of the upper class, but she understands that her doctor-husband, who is at most a middle-class family.

The only hope fell on her daughter.

Shirley Herchler took Natalie to dance at the age of 4, and at the age of 10, she took her daughter from New York to Los Angeles to look for opportunities to be a child star, but it didn't work well.

The Jewish nation is matrilineal, that is to say, it does not matter if the father is Jewish, only the mother is Jewish, and the child is Jewish. Shirley is not Jewish, so strictly speaking, Natalie is not Jewish, at best half-Jewish.

In order to give her daughter more Hollywood recognition, in order to let her daughter have a good background, Shirley Hirschler changed her daughter's surname early on, and let her follow her grandmother's Jewish surname "Portman".

Such a change has really paid off.

Gradually, Natalie finally made a few movies in Hollywood and became a little famous, but she was imprisoned in the image of "Lori".

Shirley Hirschler is very smart, she disciplines Natalie strictly, makes her study hard, be a Hollywood stream, be a dazzling white lotus, and preferably get into a prestigious university.

If the opportunity is still lacking, you can go back to Israel and learn Hebrew, the native language of the Jews, to win the favor of more Hollywood Jewish bigwigs.

But......

Now it seems that everything does not have to be so complicated, because a big man has appeared - Don Walker.

It's a shortcut!
