136. Christmas dinner

Natel's birthday was spent in Theorod's deliberate avoidance.

His gift to him, "Who Framed Roger Rabbit," is a 1988 animated film, and the first film that little Nutter sneaks into the cinema with little Theorod to watch when he was still in this world.

Although "Theorod" at that time was still too young, he didn't remember much, and he didn't experience too many human affairs, but for some reason, this memory can leave a deep impression on his mind, so that even the current Theorod can recall the feeling of being so nervous that his hands trembled with just a little recall.

It's just that "he" at that time didn't understand the movie very well, and "he" was mostly excited by the excitement brought by watching the movie for the first time - and sneaking in with a ticket evasion, and at that time, "he" probably thought that it was a very great thing to be able to participate in the production of the film.

But now, when Theolod "revisits" this film made by live-action and animation, he suddenly realizes that this movie is actually quite suitable for him at this time, and gives it to Nattle as a gift at this time, not only because this movie is the "first time" between the two of them.

Natl would understand, Theolod thought, and sighed secretly.

In fact, the scumbag remark that he said that "we can only keep the cannon/friend relationship and sleep through it" that day was not his sincere words, and Theorod understood this. Although his physical age is only in his twenties, this does not mean that his mental age will also be affected by the youth of his body, although his mentality has changed drastically in recent years, in essence, Theorod is still the one who treats himself extremely strict and rational and self-controlled.

He was a man from the past, and he knew that his reactions to Nattel's sneak attack were not simply due to the fact that he had not started a relationship for too long, and he also knew that he could not have no feelings for Natle at all, but because of this, because Natle's feelings for him may still be in its infancy, and he was only a little moved, he had to make Natle die and terminate a qiē in the initial stage.

In this way, it is better than the one that ends later.

Maybe depression really made him too pessimistic, Theolod laughed at himself, in other words, he was really selfish, so selfish that he could give up his love life for his acting career - he couldn't hide his partner and sexual orientation for a while, he knew what the paparazzi were capable of, so it was better to be alone from the beginning.

At this point, Theolod considers himself quite self-aware.

He knew how hurtful Theolod's words were to Nattel, and he didn't complain if Natle cut him off because of it.

This is very good, although he may be depressed for a while, but this is his choice, people always have to look forward, watching his beloved enter the marriage hall with others, and he has experienced it as the best man, not to mention that this is not even a breakup?

In this regard, Theorod, who had just finished playing the dark and pathetic role of Ripley, thought very clearly and clearly.

Maybe...... This is also because Nattle is actually playing a similar role to Peter at this moment. Although Peter is the person Ripley is destined to be, Ripley meets the right person at the wrong time, and meets the wrong person at the right time, just like him, no matter which one, it is the wrong path to go down, so in the end, reason makes Ripley kill Peter, and he is crushed by the weight of emotion.

If Ripley meets Peter first......

If Theolod meets Natel first......

There are no ifs, but he won't be miserable either, because he ended before Ripley.

Theolod took a deep breath, patted his cheek with cold water, and looked up, he saw himself in the mirror, the look of confusion in his eyes and the dark circles under his eyes were so obvious.

He won't be in pain.

Theolod gritted his teeth and told himself like this.

You just haven't quite come out of Ripley's shadow yet.

Yes, I didn't.

Perhaps it was the voice in his heart that was really convincing, and Theorod wiped his face indiscriminately, took out makeup, covered his dark circles, and by the way, put powder on it, making the person in the mirror look much healthier, before straightening up and straightening his bow tie and suit.

Tonight is the first Christmas dinner of D.N.A. company, given that D.N.A. is not as good as these brokerage giants such as CAA, WMA and ICM, the actual employees of the entire company add up to a maximum of 100 people, this time the middle and senior management of the company and its stars will almost all be present, followed by the paparazzi, of course.

Theolod didn't want to be listless in front of his colleagues, and he didn't want to look emaciated in the spotlight and under the camera, when he didn't know what the paparazzi would have written.

As soon as Qiē was tidied up, Theolod put the brick-blue scarf Maggie had knitted for himself on his shoulders and turned around in front of Maggie: "Look, how about this?" ”

“…… Look at anyone on the street who wears a scarf like you? It's only 35 degrees Fahrenheit tonight, so don't freeze yourself and tie your scarf for the sake of looking good. Dissatisfied with Theorod's use of the scarf as an ornament, Maggie raised her hand and wrapped the long scarf around Theorod's neck, eventually forming a mass of scarf.

Although this did not conform to Theorod's matching habits, it was Maggie's insistence, and he could only bend down and bend his knees and let Maggie fiddle. Theorod glanced at the mirror on the side, this was good, Maggie wrapped him so that he couldn't see his neck at all, but it wasn't over, the old man also tried to get Theorod to wear the beanie hat and gloves she knitted for him, this time, Theorod couldn't help it.

"Don't worry, my lovely grandma, I'll go by car, drive back, there's heating in the banquet, it's not a snow day, hats don't need it...... Okay, I'll put on my gloves, well, just this one! Theolod hurriedly picked up the black leather gloves on the side and put them on neatly.

"Or ...... Add another coat? The other day I turned out all my thick winter coats. ”

“…… I really don't need to, I'm in good health...... Let me see the time, oh the party is about to start, I can't be late, or Marshall will strangle me. That's it, grandma, it's time for me to go, you pay attention to the windows at home, don't wait for me to come back. Theolod immediately distracted Maggie when he heard the words 'thick coat' and bent down to imprint a kiss on her face.

"Yes, I won't wait for you, if you meet a girl you like at the banquet and won't come for the night, that's even better, go ahead, you stinky boy."

Under Theorod's embarrassed look, Maggie pats Theorod's ass and kicks him out of the house.

Theorod drove an Audi borrowed from Hermann to Marshall's dinner. If Marshall hadn't insisted that Theolod never drive his ordinary scooter over at this dinner party, he would definitely not have asked Herman to borrow a car, although Marshall's starting point was very good, after all, Theolod's fame at the moment was not as unknown as it was at the beginning, and the qiē he used under the media had to be in line with his star value.

Theorod saw a circle of paparazzi in front of the hotel from afar. He quickly untied his scarf and slowly parked the car at the door. The paparazzi had long memorized Herman's Audi model and license plate number, and Theorod was also considered the most "big" star of D.N.A., and when they saw the main goal of their trip appear, they immediately swarmed up and crowded around the barrier, flashing their flashing lights before Theorod got out of the car.

Theolod handed the car to the doorman, gave him a small tip, and then walked up the short ten-meter carpet in front of the hotel, and very cooperatively asked the paparazzi who had been waiting for hours under the cold wind to take pictures, and by the way, signed autographs and photos of the fans who crowded in.

It seems that they have been waiting for a long time, the temperature in Los Angeles is not low tonight, and Los Angeles in winter is also notoriously cold in the morning and evening and hot in the day, many fans who have been waiting on the side since the afternoon have not worn many clothes, and their faces are frozen red. Seeing the eagerness of them squeezing around for fear that Theorod would casually pose and take a few movements and walk into the hotel, Theorod was very patient and signed one by one from the left.

Fortunately, the carpet in front of the hotel is only ten meters, and the best position is occupied by paparazzi, and there are not many fans who crowd to the front line and stretch out their hands to ask for autographs. But Rao was like this, seeing that Theolod started to sign one by one from the left, the fans and media on the right were a little anxious, and they kept shouting in an attempt to summon Theolod over.

"Don't worry, I'll go over when I'm done signing here." In desperation, Theolod had no choice but to smile and beckon to the person on the right, reassuringly, his words caused the screams of the people on both sides-

can be a fan of such a good star, this life is simply worth it!

Theolod signed in from the street to the door of the hotel as he said, then went around and started on the right side near the door of the hotel to sign in to the street. As he was about to sign the last man, another car arrived, and it was Heath Ledger in a white suit.

Heath has recently starred in a few youth school romantic comedies and has gained some popularity among teenagers, although there are still many people who don't know or know him, he still gets some female screams with his handsome face when he gets out of the car.

When Theolod saw him, he immediately stepped forward, opened his arms, and smiled: "Heath? How long have we not seen each other? It seems that it would be good for me to stay out a little longer, and that is that I can be the first to see you. ”

"Long time no see, Theo." In the face of Theorod's warmth and friendliness, Heath politely gave the other party a close salute and a hug. Although he had only met him once, he had always heard a lot of rumors about Theorod, and it was the first time he had encountered such a controversial star.

But overall, he still admires the person's rampant and off-the-beaten-path personality when choosing movies, as well as the friendliness and understanding of people in daily life. Theorod's "willfulness" of acting whatever he likes makes Heath like it very much, because he also hopes that he can do this.

So much so that later, many people believed that Hiss was brought bad by Theorod, of course, this is a later story.

"Let's guess, how many drinks did you say Marshall would have prepared tonight?"

"Then I'm not sure, the only thing I'm sure of is that the wine he prepares is 'not allowed to be touched under the age of twenty-one'." Heath teased Theolod and took a few photos with him by the way.

“…… Oh hell, how long is it going to be brought out by you guys? By the end of January next year, the joke will cease to hold. Theolod patted Hiss on the back, looked to the side, remembered something, and said to him, "Wait a moment, I owe a little something, and we'll go in together when I've paid it off." ”

"What?" Hiss looked at him with some confusion.

Theolod didn't say anything, just walked up to a girl on the right with a slightly lost expression and stood still, under her stunned gaze, he stretched out his hand: "Sorry for the delay just now, can you lend me your pen and notebook?" ”

Only then did the girl react, and the other party took the initiative to sign for her! The girl who was still depressed because she was the last to be ignored immediately stepped forward excitedly with her own comparison and notebook: "Sara, my name is Sara, the 'Sara' without 'h'!" ”

Theolod signed a sentence for her, handed her the notebook and pen, but accidentally touched her extremely cold and even frozen blue hand, saw that she was only wearing a long-sleeved T-shirt, couldn't help frowning slightly, and shook the other party's hand with his warm big hand: "It looks like you're not freezing lightly, Sarah, you should wear more clothes before going out." ”

“…… I... I... I was in the neighborhood in the morning... It was quite warm...... I... I'm the first to come......" Sara was so shocked by Theolod's hand-warming gesture that she couldn't even straighten her tongue.

She, she, she didn't dream?!! Theo is warming her hands?!! Ahhhh!!h

The fan girl felt that her whole person had exploded into the sky.

"The first one?" Theolod raised an eyebrow in surprise, "I'm so sorry about that, you were the first to come and you waited until the end to sign it." So be it...... Heath, why don't you sign this lovely young lady too? Sara, I must tell you that this gentleman next to me will definitely become a big star in the future! ”

Theolodra passed over Hiss, who was standing aside, and Sara, who had taken the truth of what her idol had said, immediately looked at Hiss beggingly, and Hiss gladly signed her name.

This is the first time that the signatures of the two have appeared on the same paper, and it is said that fans will hype their co-signed posters at sky-high prices in the future, of course, this is also a later story.

Afterwards, Heath jokingly told Theolod that he shouldn't have said such a thing so early, and although it was inevitable, he still wanted to keep a low profile for a while. Theolod laughed and scolded him for being shameless, and then joined him to meet Marshall, who had come out and glared at the two of them because he had been in front of the hotel for too long.

"It's just a banquet, a banquet, not a promotional period! I'm not forcing you to give those media fans time to pose for photos, but just take a symbolic one or two, right? Theo, tell me how long you've been standing outside, and I heard that you've signed off on both sides, please, my buddy, didn't I tell you to sign your autograph whenever you want? It's okay to be appropriately close to the people, but you can't be excessive, is it still like words? Forget it, you're still pulling my good boy Heath? Heath, don't let this disobedient wayward stinky boy spoil you. ”

After the two walked into the hotel, Marshall began to "reprimand" one by one, and Heath listened obediently, but Theolod was a little unimpressed.

He listened very carefully to all of Marshall's words before he spoke slowly: "My agent, have you relieved the tension of speaking on stage later?" ”

“…… Uh...... "Marshall suddenly stuck.

"And Christmas is coming, so why be so strict? You're right, Amanda? Theorod smiled as he looked at the short-haired lady behind Marshall who was walking towards them.

Amanda is a mature and intellectual beauty, she listened to Theorod's words, and immediately echoed: "That's right, I think Theo and Heath do this very well, today we are here for leisure and not for work, Marshall dear, don't you think so?" ”

“…… Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, what you said is right, what you say is right. ”

Marshall replied weakly, and then he saw a harmless smile on Theorod's face that resembled victory, and his heart was even more helpless - no way, who made his girlfriend the white and black fan in front of him?
