Cheng Xiaoyu is also a member of Beverly Hills, and of course knows that "Spago Beverly Hills" is located on Canon Avenue, which is the flagship store of legendary chef Wolfgang Parker's food empire. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

In 1982, the Australian chef opened the "Spago" restaurant on the Sunset Boulevard in Los Angeles, which amazed the entire Los Angeles area when it was launched, and in 1997, the "Spago" restaurant officially entered Beverly Hills, and after a renovation, it became one of the most famous restaurants in Los Angeles and the United States, and soon the restaurant became a veritable Hollywood canteen.

It's called the Hollywood Cafeteria, of course, because it's one of Hollywood's biggest stars, and it's always possible to see cosplayers who shine on the big screen.

But in fact, Cheng Xiaoyu is still here for the first time, because for him, it is still a meal cooked by Xia Shamo at home, which is more in line with his appetite.

After calling Catherine and asking for a seat, Cheng Xiaoyu followed the tall and beautiful waiter into the VIP area of the restaurant, followed by two bodyguards Cheng Xiaoyu was very eye-catching.

Cheng Xiaoyu noticed that many people stopped the knives and forks in their hands and glanced at him slightly, some people recognized him and whispered to him and others, although there was no rude pointing, but they were obviously talking about him.

This is one of the reasons why he does not like to appear in public.

But he had no choice but to get used to it.

In Los Angeles in April, the sky was clear, and the weather was only full of unforgettable blue, Cheng Xiaoyu wore a white T-shirt and an Air Force embroidered jacket with blue satin like the sky, which broke into Catherine Blanchett's sight like a rainbow.

If it weren't for the two bodyguards who followed her, Catherine might have considered putting on an intoxicating smile, but at the moment she just rolled her eyes and said, "Oh my God, you didn't tell me you had two 'friends' with you....."

Cheng Xiaoyu shrugged his shoulders, knocked on the table and said: "Hey! Catherine, you are a star, you have to pay attention, countless paparazzi are seizing the opportunity to take ugly photos of you! As for my bodyguards, you just treat them as if they don't exist, since the last time I was followed by the paparazzi, I found that I couldn't grab things by myself." With that, he dragged away the brown-red sofa and sat down on his own.

His two black-clad bodyguards stood at the entrance to the VIP booth.

Catherine Blanchett seemed to have completely forgotten the experience of the scandal between the two of them, and said while flipping through the menu: "Paparazzi? Now the paparazzi are more interested in you than in me! Even if I am photographed today, I am rubbing your heat!"

Cheng Xiaoyu blinked his eyes and said with a pun: "Okay! As you wish, I brought bodyguards just to steal the show....."

Catherine Blanchett gracefully pressed the service bell, and then punned on the pride and teased, "I am so touched by your honesty." ”

But in fact, Catherine Blanchett felt that this was not what she wanted to say at all, her heart was beating a little fast, and she kept complaining to herself, you see how you can talk like this, it's not cute at all, it's not a woman at all, and you're going to make the atmosphere worse.

This sentence really made Cheng Xiaoyu a little unsure of how to continue, so he could only smile awkwardly, he didn't know what Catherine Blanchett was referring to, but he had to admit that the woman he used the most in his life must be Catherine Blanchett.

Fortunately, the presence of the waiter eased the dull atmosphere in which the two did not know how to continue.

After ordering, Cheng Xiaoyu took a look around the high-end and atmospheric "Spago" VIP area from the gap in the booth, which is an exclusive area for celebrities and full of atmosphere. At the same time, the visible wine storage space is breathtaking, where many bottles of fine wine from the Napa Valley are stored.

But don't worry about picking your eyes on a thick wine list, as a strong sommelier can recommend a variety of drinks that go well with your dishes.

Just now, the beautiful waiter recommended the famous Garden.of.Eden for Cheng Xiaoyu, a strong vodka cocktail mixed with mango black tea, dried mango and tropical flowers, and finished with a stimulating and refreshing lemon peel.

Catherine Blanchett was a regular and ordered Sweet.Little.Lies, a cocktail mixed with gin, lemon and basil - a rather strong liquor.

When the food was served, the table was filled with some of Cheng's messy mash-up delicacies, such as the store's signature smoked salmon, Chinese-style pork and leek dumplings, jade shrimp noodles and American-style potato and bacon barbecue.

Congratulations to Cheng Xiaoyu on the box office hit, and after the two clinked glasses, Catherine Blanchett held up her knife and fork and said: "You took the initiative to invite me to dinner, which made me a little flattered! ”

Cheng Xiaoyu forked a dumpling with a fork, dipped it in some matching vinegar sauce, put it in his mouth, and then said a little vaguely: "Don't take what I say so mercenary, Catherine, maybe this time it's really a good thing!"

Catherine Blanchett took a knife to cut open a potato bacon roast, and the thick sauce flowed out of the middle, "Speaking of which, I was really taken aback by your "Midnight Bell: The Ghost Shadow", I was really surprised by your shooting technique, the first half is a pseudo-documentary, and the switch of surveillance perspective in the middle becomes an ordinary movie, and the ending changes back to a pseudo-documentary in a few minutes. There are also various interviews with people in between, giving it the impression of a real documentary. Compared with those pseudo-documentaries that follow the trend now, such as "Desperate Video", which do not leave their hands and the eyes of the camera are about to fall, it is much stronger....."

Because of Cheng Xiaoyu's "Midnight Bell: The Ghost Shadow", suddenly the pseudo-documentaries became popular, and some art theaters also bought several pseudo-documentaries for curious audiences to enjoy, Catherine Blanchett was still unsatisfied after watching "The Ghost of the Midnight Bell", and went to see one of the many pseudo-documentaries.

Cheng Xiaoyu smiled and said: "I just wanted to be lazy, and I had to be in a hurry, give me more time, in fact, I can do better, the earliest cross-editing of various corresponding roads, but when the film entered the main plot, it suddenly turned into the filming technique of the movie, in fact, there is a suspicion of deceiving the audience, and doing so makes the whole structure a little messy, but there are also many fans who think this is very good, the sense of reality is very strong, and it is not delayed and scary." ”

Catherine Blanchett put down her knife and fork and joked to herself, "You have to think about my feelings, you really make me a little skeptical about the choice to study filmmaking.....

Cheng Xiaoyu smiled: "Don't give up ......"

Catherine Blanchett continued her great work of cutting the bacon potato rolls, and interrupted Cheng Xiaoyu through gritted teeth: "Please rest assured, I will not give up,..... Maybe I'll be on the Oscar podium sooner than you....."

Held on March 3, 2014 at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood, Los Angeles, Xiao Yu, the new Ding has nothing to do with this feast, as for Catherine Blanchett, of course, she can walk the red carpet with her grandfather, but she doesn't.

For her in 2013, it was really a little unpleasant, she starred in two movies, both of which can only be regarded as reluctant from the box office, the problem is that this is not a problem with her performance, her performance has been affirmed, but the script and movie reputation are really unsatisfactory.

Some magazines have criticized her for taking the salary of a first-line star, but she can't play the role of a first-line star, and complained that she has two big trees behind her to be superior.

Catherine Blanchett felt infinitely aggrieved, but she couldn't refute it, which made her pride a little nowhere to vent, and it also made her feelings about Cheng Xiaoyu more complicated.

There is a mixture of admiration, admiration, jealousy, and disobedience.

Because of the frustrations compared to herself, the man opposite her, who was sitting peacefully and she had a good impression, shined and radiated in this year.

Hearing Catherine Blanchett's words, Cheng Xiaoyu stopped the knife and fork in his hand, and then looked at Catherine's blue eyes, which were described by the media as "enough to shatter the camera", and said: "Catherine, now there is a chance for you to hit the Oscars, are you willing to try it?"

When he said this, Cheng Xiaoyu was embarrassed to take a lot of Catherine Blanchett, her beauty was so dazzling, he had been distracting himself with food just now, and he couldn't help but look at her face from time to time.

Catherine Blanchett wore a white dress today, with a garland headdress, beautiful like Lin Ze's fairy, most Westerners have a clear silhouette and a sexy body, like her, she is so beautiful to the peak, with a lazy and arrogant and scarfy appearance, which is extremely rare.

Catherine Blanchett also stopped her knife and fork and looked up at Cheng Xiaoyu, the eyes of the two met in the air, at this moment her blood flow accelerated, and her body was a little hot, which gave her the illusion of 10,000 years, but she sneered: "Hey!rain, you won't invite me to perform your $600 million production!"

Cheng Xiaoyu said seriously: "Why not! You will definitely like this role!"

Catherine Blanchett said with a hint of mockery: "Hollywood is a place where it pays you $1,000 for a kiss and your soul is worth only 50 cents..... Rain, what do you need? My soul or my lips, and how much do you want to spend on it?"

Cheng Xiaoyu didn't know that Catherine Blanchett's reaction would be so strong, which made him a little overwhelmed, and he didn't know where he offended this heavenly lady, and said with a wry smile: "Catherine, is there any misunderstanding between us?"

Catherine Blanchett also knew that she had overreacted, last year he was still a down-and-out director who had to rely on himself to bring the movie to the big screen, and now he can tell her that she should be given a chance to hit the Oscars, but she herself believes that what he said should be the truth, and the gap between this makes her a little unacceptable for a while.

She lowered her head, looked at the neatly cut bacon and potato rolls on the plate, calmed her mood, and said, "No, there is no misunderstanding, it's that I'm not in a good mood today....."

Of course Cheng Xiaoyu knew that it wasn't so simple, when she came just now, she was still in the mood to tease herself, and she became so unhappy in an instant, obviously because she didn't do something well, which made her unhappy, but a woman's heart, a needle under the sea, not to mention an actor with outstanding acting skills like Catherine Blanchett.

But Cheng Xiaoyu was not close enough to Catherine Blanchett to ask why the other party was in a bad mood, so she could only smile and say: "Then let me tell you a joke! It's about Charlize Theron, yes, it's the one who starred in my movie "Midnight Bell: The Ghost Shadow", she participated in countless auditions, often entered the second round of casting, but never won the opportunity to appear in the movie, she asked me: Director Cheng, why am I always praised for my good performance, but I have never been selected? I told her, "Because most directors think you're very good, and your auditions are successful, but the problem is, everybody just wants to see you take off your clothes, no one wants to see you perform, and one day when you can be like Catherine Blanchett and make it impossible for anyone else to ignore your beauty or your acting skills, you'll be successful......"

Catherine Blanchett was amused by Cheng Xiaoyu, a sycophant who didn't know whether it was true or not, and her mood relaxed, but she immediately asked with a straight face: "What kind of movie is it, what kind of role is it, why do you want me to play it?"

The air was filled with the rhythm of jazz, and the beat of the drums reverberated in the eardrums with a characteristic stunt in the slow heat season that began in Los Angeles.

Cheng Xiaoyu felt that Catherine's smile was like a bunch of fallen fireworks, shaking off countless bright red star showers, one by one falling into the darkness and distance.

He also fell into the fantasy of the great ship he had compiled, and he said softly: "It is a clear night, the velvety canopy is woven with shining stars, and one of the most luxurious and massive cruise ships in history has encountered the icebergs that have sunk it in the cold sea breeze. ”

"The orchestra on deck plays small concertos in front of the passengers' eyes as if in summer, but unlike the cheerful tunes we occasionally hear from musicians in the middle of summer, it doesn't make you think of earthly music - it's a calming chant from heaven that soothes people......."
