Theolod found Natel at the blackjack table, and of course he didn't place a bet or participate in the game when he found him, because there was no extra space, he just stood at the table like everyone else, watching what was going on. There were more people around that table than the other blackjacks, and it seemed that there was a master at this table, or someone who was lucky enough to win a lot of money.

In comparison, the table with constant cheers was more eye-catching, so Theorod had no trouble spotting Natel, but because of the large crowd, Natel did not realize that Theorod had come behind him. Theorod stood quietly and watched for a while, and noticed that among the players, the man with the most chips on the table was a young looking man.

This hard-faced guy has a handsome face, and the beauty groove on his chin also adds a lot of points to himself, but he doesn't seem to pay much attention to his appearance, his short black hair looks a little rough and messy, unless he touches his own cards, his eyes will flash a shrewdness and depth, and most of the time he remains half-asleep and expressionless.

Thanks to Two Smoking Guns, Theolod had studied these card games, and after looking at them for a while, he realized that the young man was not just lucky, on the contrary, he was very smart, and his talent had caught the attention of the casino side - he had 200,000 chips in front of him, at least.

"There are still a few people who have a talent for card counting. Theorod sighed, noticing a few other casino security guards with white headsets looking over the side, occasionally saying something into the headset.

His sudden voice startled Nattel, and he turned his head to look at Theorod, with surprise in his eyes, but his tone was unconcerned: "Why did you come down?"

"Why can't I come? I want to ask, why don't you wait for me to go first. Theorod laughed.

"Aren't you going to talk about your new movie?"

"Rejection doesn't waste much time. ”

"What?"

Seeing Natle's expression, Theolod knew that he wanted to be crooked, so he patted the other party's back: "Don't have too much burden, my refusal is not because of you, but because of the schedule, that role and my other role have a conflict in shooting time, which is irreparable, naturally there is nothing to say." ”

"And I didn't say you were because of me. Natel scoffed, "Man, I'm not that pretentious. ”

Saying this, Natel laughed too, and he added: "Come on, come on, I'll want to play a game later-of course not at this table, I don't want to give the money to this guy--what are you going to do? You can choose to watch and advise me, or find a few chicks to talk to? Oh shit, I forgot, with your status, you can't just hook up with women." ”

"Okay, I know what you want, I'll go buy you wine. Theolod was a little crying and laughing.

"Very well, then I'll go over there for a table. Natel patted Theolod on the shoulder with relief and gestured to the table next to him. Blackjack was also being played at that table, but there were a little fewer people than at this table, "I've observed that the people at that table are impulsive idiots." ”

Theolod didn't know where Natel had learned his ability to observe people, but it was his birthday, and he was happy. So he naturally went to the bar, and the bartender at the bar obviously knew Theorod, and naturally knew that he was under twenty-one years old, so he told him very tactfully, that he was afraid that he could only buy juice or coffee here.

"Then give me a cup of coffee, and a cup of tequila and ice, and give it to the dark blue suit at the blackjack table......" said Theorod, and in a moment he saw several men at the table in dark blue suits, so he had to add, "The tallest one, Mr. Pope." It's not that I drink it, and it's not selling alcohol to twenty-one-year-olds. ”

In fact, in this case, the bartender also has the right to refuse, so at this time, it depends on the personal charm of the buyer. He smiled at Theorod, pushed the coffee in front of him, took out a cup, put three pieces of ice, poured a cup of agave, and asked the waiter on the side to deliver it to Theorod.

"Mr. Lecht?" a voice sounded behind Theorod, a subwoofer, low, but steady, without a hoarse trill.

Theorod turned slightly sideways and saw a man in a black suit, tall, perhaps six feet three inches, about the same as Nattel, half a head taller than Theorod, and his face was somewhat familiar, and when he saw the beauty groove on the other man's chin, he remembered who he was.

It's the winning general at that table of blackjack.

"Hello big winner, your first few rounds were really impressive. Theolod greeted the other party gently, he didn't care about being recognized by others in public these days, and on his official homepage, it was also confirmed that he was on vacation in Las Vegas. Naturally, Theolod thought that the young man was also a movie fan.

"It was just luck. Although the casino does not explicitly prohibit card counting at the blackjack table, card counting is indeed resisted and hated by all casinos, so no one will always talk about card counting, "Maybe it's because I did well in math in college, Ben Affleck." ”

The other man held out his hand towards Theorod.

Theolod shook his hand, and he thought the name was familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had heard it, so he said apologetically, "You should be an insider, right? I'm sorry, I think I've heard or seen your name......"

"Oh, nothing. Ben disagreed, "Because I'm just an unknown little actor, I haven't starred in any blockbuster movies, but recently because I am interested in screenwriting, there is a new movie about to be released, "Soul Catcher." I'm a little surprised that you've heard my name. ”

At the end of the day, Ben had a smile on his face, probably because of himself, and most of the time he didn't smile like a real smile.

Yes, "Soul Catcher", Theolod remembered, when he was making up for all kinds of good movies in this world, he also made up for countless excellent actors in this world, Robin Williams, the supporting actor in "Soul Catcher", Theorod noticed him because of his "Dead Poets Society", it was really a beautiful movie with poetry, and Robin Williams's performance in it was also very good.

After watching "Dead Poets Society", Theolod made up for his knowledge of actors as usual, and naturally learned that he would release a new film called "Soul Catcher", and played against Matt Damon, who had a previous interview in "Level 1 Fear", and at the same time, "Soul Catcher" It was also written by Matt Damon and Ben Affleck, which made Theorod a little surprised at the time, it is not difficult to achieve the pinnacle of a line in Hollywood, but it is difficult to be an all-rounder, for example, Theorod has never thought of directing a movie himself, because he knows that his attention can never be on making a movie.

So, the young man in front of him was Ben Affleck Theolod thought of the trailer and plot synopsis of "Soul Catcher", and suddenly laughed: "Of course I've heard of it, in fact, I was going to go to the cinema after the release of "Soul Catcher". To be honest, after watching you play cards, I was a little curious, does Will, the math genius in the movie, also have your own shadow?"

"After all, this is the result of me and Matt, like our child, he actually has the shadow of both of us. Ben said, thinking of something, "I'm talking about Matt is my friend, Matt Damon, who is also the star of "Soul Catcher." ”

"That's right, I know, remember 'First Degree Fear'? I met him at that time, but unfortunately he didn't know me, I didn't even run the trick at that time, and I could only watch from afar. Theorod said.

And when he mentioned this, Ben also thought of the funny story at that time, so he also laughed: "Oh yes, I remember that Matt complained to me at that time that he might not be able to get the role of Alan, he said that he had this hunch, he felt that he was not doing a good job, and the result was the same, you don't know how naïve he was when he complained that he was not good enough, and he also said that if he met you in the future, he would definitely chase you and ask you how to accurately grasp the role." ”

"Haha, I'd love to be able to discuss roles with other actors. But it sounds like you and Damon have known each other for a long time?"

"Yes, we've known each other since childhood, and at that time the distance between our homes was only two ......"

Siorod unknowingly started talking to Ben, he couldn't get involved in Nattel's gamble, so it was a good idea to talk to a nice actor rather than just watching.

After a few rounds of play, Nattel had three or four glasses of wine again, and Theolod was nowhere to be seen. He looked back, and finally found Theorod at the bar next to him, who was having a good conversation with a man. Nattle also remembered that man, the card counter who had won the entire table at the next table before.

In fact, this world is so strange, when a public person chats with a strange lady for more than a certain time, others will think that this lady is the other party's mysterious girlfriend, and naturally there will be scandals. But if you are communicating with a man, there is nothing strange about chatting for a long time, let alone any gossip and scandal.

So, you can't hook up with a woman, and you start hooking up with a man?

Nattel drained the glass and withdrew from the game with his chips. He is not a person who likes to gamble, and he came to Las Vegas just to be fresh, after all, men almost love this kind of nightlife in big casinos. At this moment, he has already made a small profit, and he has no intention of continuing.

"Do you want to go out and take some breath? It's a bit boring to stay here for a long time. "Natel came to Theorod.

"You want to leave, don't want to play anything else?" said Theorod looked at Natl with some surprise, they hadn't been here for an hour.

Nattle didn't speak, just shook his head.

"Okay. Theolod smiled apologetically at Ben, "This is my friend, it looks like we're going to have to get out of here, we'll see you at the premiere of Mindcatcher." ”

"Well, I'll give you a seat, and I'll tell Sù Matt about it later. Ben nodded.

When Ben invited Theolod to the premiere of "Mindcatcher", Theorod certainly wouldn't refuse, and he happened to have time on January 9 next year.

Nattle and Theolod drove to a small hill outside Las Vegas, where they could look out over the brightly lit casinos in the distance. The surroundings are quiet, the sky is full of stars, the bright moonlight just leaves a hazy light and shadow on the earth, and a few scattered insect chirpings make the night away from the hustle and bustle of the casino even quieter.

Natel prepared the wine, and Theorod didn't want to drink too much, so he only took a can of beer and gave Natel the gift he had prepared, which was a mobile phone. As Theorod's assistant, it is a little unreasonable that he does not have a mobile phone.

The two sat on the ground, drinking and talking about each other, and somehow it was late at night, of course, the lights were still bright on the other side of the casino, and it was impossible to see what time it was. Natel was a little drunk, his tongue began to tremble and he couldn't make it clear when he spoke, and by being drunk, he began to pull about his first few relationships.

"Thinking about how many true feelings Lao Tzu has never talked about in his life, it's really a loss!" he threw the empty wine bottle in his hand into the distance.

"I remember...... The girl named Annie from before, aren't you getting along well?"

"Shit, that female cousin doesn't know how many times she has fucked other men behind my back, it's just that you don't know, but I know. Anyway, it's just a matter of taking what you need, she wants to get drugs from me, I want sex from her - she's good at it. ”

"Mona?"

"It's just playing, what about the feelings that will be over in a week?"

"Uh...... Cecilia?"

"Are you serious?"

"Well, Nat, you're still young, you're still in a relationship, and you can always meet someone you like. Theorod comforted with some tears and laughter, drunk people are not only prone to gibberish, but also emotionally uncertain and like to go to extremes, at this time he can only slowly follow Natle's temperament.

Hearing this, Natel squinted at Theolod for a long time, and suddenly laughed a few times: "Are you kidding, Theo, I'm still young? Don't look like a bad old man! Speaking of which, you are worse than me, and you haven't had a girlfriend when you're so old, what, do you want me to help you break your relationship as a little virgin?"

As he spoke, he suddenly approached Theorod, and then jerked his neck, the smell of alcohol in his face made him a little helpless.

"Okay, according to you, depending on you, when you sober up, whatever you want. ”

"Oh no, you don't seem to need my help, what about the gossip......" Thinking of this, Natel frowned again and glared at Theolod dissatisfied, "If you find a girlfriend before me, I'll beat you." ”

"Good. ”

“…… But I can't stay with you for the rest of my life, I have to do something else, and sometimes I can't beat you......"

"It's okay, when you find what you want to do, you will fire this assistant, and I will call you as soon as I find my girlfriend and ask you to beat me. ”

"Nonsense, who said I was going to quit this assistant? Who else can do this job better than Lao Tzu?!"

“……”

"But...... Thank you, Theo......"

“…… Thanks for what?"

"I don't know ......"

Natel said, leaning back and lying on the ground, while his hand around Theorod's neck pulled Theorod down, causing Theorod to smash him directly into the chest.

Thankfully, it's not a smash on hard ground.

Theorod looked at the stars in the sky and began to wonder how to drag the big man back to the hotel.
