Chapter 511: The King of the World (Three Watches)
On the spacious terrace, neatly dressed men and women are gathering in groups, Zhang Chu is like Grandma Liu who accidentally entered the Grand View Garden or Alice in Wonderland, feeling out of place with the surrounding environment.
As almost the only Asian in the audience, and probably one of the few outsiders, he was gathered with all kinds of attention.
Several of the movie stars who recognized him seemed to enjoy this rare private time, and the lead actor Kurt sat in the innermost seat on the right side of the door, his feet on the coffee table, looking very relaxed.
Next to him is the heroine of the movie, Kate Harrison, the Hollywood sexy goddess who sits with Kurt and whispers, and is amused to laugh from time to time, and in addition to the laughter, she occasionally rests her head on the shoulders of the former, and the discerning person knows that there is something wrong with these two people.
Director Peter was chatting with some high-level executives such as Universal Pictures and Warner Bros., while Gina, another star, was standing in front of the bar in a floor-length dress and taking selfies with friends.
"Hey Zhang, come over here!" David Nate waved at him, "Guys, this is the author and writer of my new film, he's a real genius!"
Zhang Chu was a little ashamed by this compliment, if there is a savior system, everyone can become a genius.
In the following time, he followed closely behind David, shook hands with every actor or producer he introduced and knew, tried his best to put on a very interested look, and listened to the big guy David exchange each other's insights and stories with everyone.
David, who has been in Hollywood for decades, has a wide range of connections, and he seems to have endless stories to tell with everyone he meets, and the people he talks to can all laugh exaggeratedly.
Among these people are high-level officials who ask Warner, producers from Universal, and vice presidents of Disney.
However, when Zhang Chu listened carefully to their conversation, he found that it was full of commonplace and meaningless jokes and reminiscences, without any substance!
This kind of conversation can take place in any restaurant in the world, on any roadside, like running a train and bragging about a drink and a skewer between friends, but in the face of Hollywood.
Throughout the night, David weaved through the crowd, searching for familiar faces. In his pocket was a list of people he needed to talk to at the party.
"I'm going to have some fun with the old guys, and if you want, you can stay and chat with the big guys inside, make an impression, and then send them an email when I need it later. Kid, Hollywood is all about relationships!"
With that, David Nate walked towards the hotel with an actress about his daughter's age in his arms.
Of course, Zhang Chu didn't have to stay, after he came to see it once, he didn't want to try again in a short time.
The circle is different, there is no need to forcibly integrate, now he is just a nobody in Hollywood, and it will probably be a completely different reaction to come here after becoming a cross-river raptor in the future!
After returning to the Hilton Hotel from Beverly Hills, Zhang Chu changed his clothes, although he didn't see the top superstar this time, he still saw all kinds of things in the entertainment industry.
Maybe it's the right choice to write a book, at least not to fall into this glamorous vanity fair temptation.
"Let's write a book, what kind of girl hasn't written well?" Zhang Chu yawned, intermittently complacent, and continued to eat and wait for death.
……
Early the next morning, the ringtone of the mobile phone woke Zhang Chu up, and he was not given a chance to sleep until he woke up naturally.
"Blair, you'd better give a reason, it's six o'clock in the morning!"
Zhang Chu almost roared at his mobile phone, is it really that difficult to get a good night's sleep?
Last night, the WeChat reminder rang for a night, and he squinted his eyes in the middle of the night to cut off the wireless network, and he felt that he had only fallen asleep and answered the phone for a long time.
Blair said angrily: "You should get up and watch this sunrise, it's spectacular!"
"Man, the sunsets in Los Angeles are better, you can enjoy it yourself, I'll get some sleep." ”
"The meaning of life is early in the morning, do you know what Los Angeles is like at four o'clock in the morning?"
used to be a British gentleman, but now why is it more and more like a reipe?
Zhang Chu lay on the bed, closed his eyes and replied, "I don't know, and I don't want to know, you should ask Kobe." ”
However, Blair laughed twice, "I know, because it was four o'clock in the morning when I arrived in Los Angeles." Listen man, we all know that Los Angeles is a great place to watch the sunset over the sea, but did you know that there's a piece of terrain that juts out into the sea and you can see the sunrise over the sea from there? ”
Los Angeles is located on the west coast of the American continent, and most of the time you can only see the sunset over the sea, and the sunrise usually jumps over the hills to the east.
"Are you sure you can't come here? It is said that the view of this place is very good. ”
Zhang Chu sat up directly from the bed with the strength of his waist and abdomen, and he said viciously: "Okay, okay, wait for me for a few minutes." Where are we going to meet?"
"Just downstairs from the Hilton, I've already rented a car, hurry up, get moving!"
"Hell, how do you know where I live?" Zhang Chu shuddered at the thought of Britain's nickname for the rotten country.
Blair said proudly: "The facilitation of your contract is inseparable from our Random House, I heard from Warner. Don't be like a little girl, you won't see the sunrise if the time drags on!"
Ten minutes later, a tired Zhang Chu got into Blair's black car, and he complained: "It's better to see the sunrise, otherwise you will be miserable." ”
"Trust me, I asked LA locals on Twitter, and they assured me I could. ”
At this time, the east was already white, the sun was about to get angry, and Blair stepped on the accelerator and drove quickly forward.
The early morning sea breeze was a little cold, and the crimson clouds on the horizon gradually increased and joined in a line, and the sparkling sea surface also had a layer of light.
If you want to see the sunrise, you have to climb to the top of this mountain, but a cliff blocks the way.
Zhang Chu saw that the sky was getting brighter and brighter, and he was a little anxious, and couldn't help but speed up his pace.
The two of them struggled to climb on the west side of the cliff, while the sun rose slowly on the east side of the cliff.
"Hurry, hurry!"
"It's all because of the ten minutes I waited for you. "Blair didn't expect Zhang Chu to be so athletic, and thought he was a weak nerd!
After practicing rock climbing for so long, Zhang Chu's body has already been exercised, not to mention that this is just climbing a mountain, not to climb a rock, of course, the speed is fast.
When he climbed to the top of the mountain out of breath, Zhang Chu immediately raised his eyes to look to the east, and half of his head popped out at the place where the sea and the sky met.
The blue sea immediately turned golden and the whole scene looked spectacular!
Zhang Chu couldn't help but open his arms at this time, hugged the sea breeze a little bit, and shouted loudly: "I'm-king-of-the-orld!"
"Hey, Jack, be careful. Blair looked at Zhang Chu's appearance, and the whole person sat on the stone at the top of the mountain, gasping for breath, and was too tired to do so.
The sentence that Zhang Chu shouted just now came from Jack Dawson in the Titanic, so Blair just called the title Jack directly.
