"Sophia, have your letter!"

The girl who was lying on the table writing and drawing heard her mother's voice downstairs, and responded with little interest: "I'm a little busy, let's put it first." ”

This is a typical girl's room, the sky blue walls are covered with posters of male stars, Sophia looked at the latest poster she just grabbed in her hand, the poster shows a young man with blonde hair that shines brighter than gold, he walks on the beach, wearing a simple pair of beach pants, shirtless, carrying a white shirt behind his back in one hand, inserting/pocketing the other, and a green surfboard between his arms.

Sophia felt that this photographer was definitely a master, otherwise, how could his hair that was gently blown by the sea breeze and the corners of his mouth that were slightly upturned look so good, just looking at it stupidly, made her heart beat faster. Of course, no matter how good a photographer is, he can't capture a ten-thousandth of the beauty of a real person.

At the time of the film's premiere, she had been far away from a crowd of people, not close to him, and when he smiled and spoke to the fans who were lucky enough to squeeze into the front row, Sophia felt like she was going to suffocate, and she was even jealous of the male fan who could chat with the girl of her dreams for a while.

Sophia spread out a blank piece of paper, took out a pencil, gestured to the man on the poster, and began to trace each of his lines on the paper. She was so gentle with her pen that she felt she could touch every part of his body as she drew the man's figure with a pencil.

She is not a study material, Sophia knows that she will not be able to get into the university that her parents expect at all, and the only thing she is good at is drawing. But her parents confirmed that painting was not a proper job and could not support herself, and they hoped that she would later work in a bank, just like her cousin.

But staying in the office wasn't what she wanted to do, her dream was to be a designer, she wanted to go to the Academy of Fine Arts in Paris or the California Institute of the Arts instead of the University of California or the University of Virginia, but her parents made it clear that if she wanted to pay for college for a "hobby", they wouldn't pay for any of her college fees.

Sophia was a little confused, she couldn't make so much money to support her to fly to Barry to go to school, and at this time only painting could make her feel at ease, especially her idol, he was so young, he had just passed the age of twenty-one, and he came to Los Angeles alone for his dream when she was so old...... Oh my God, how he did it, Sophia couldn't think about it.

As she painted, it got dark, and she colored his eyes, but she knew she couldn't find any paint in this world to paint the sheer beauty of those eyes. In the end, she picked up the poster and compared it in the room, the wall was already covered with his posters, she really couldn't find a place to put a new one, but she was reluctant to take down the old ones, and in desperation, Sophia directly pasted the poster on the window.

The mother downstairs was urging again, and began to threaten her to waste her time on painting again, so she tore up her precious posters, Sophia roared angrily, and then looked at the male god in the window reluctantly, opened the door that had been locked, and went downstairs to eat.

At the dinner table, her parents began to take turns to talk about the good of studying finance, and she was tired of listening to it, so she practiced the ability to go in one ear and out of one ear. Helping her mother wash the dishes, Sophia saw a few letters in the basket beside her, and she remembered that there seemed to be a letter sent to her in the afternoon.

Probably she's got to have Anna.

Thinking so, Sophia flipped through it casually with her undried hands, took out the letter that belonged to her, came to the living room, and sat down on the sofa. She looked at the sender's address on the envelope, a little puzzled, because it wasn't Anna's address, and the sender wasn't Anna's name, but Gavin Bennett.

She thought about it carefully, but no matter how much she rummaged through the cabinets in her memory, she couldn't find the face corresponding to the name. Sophia glanced at the address a few more times, and realized that it was still a little familiar.

A stranger sent her a letter? Could it be that the wrong address was written and sent to the wrong person? Sophia suspiciously tore open the envelope and took out the contents of the envelope, but probably her movements were a little rough, so that when she took out the letterhead, a card sent with the letterhead floated directly to the ground, and she was accidentally stepped on by her father who was sitting watching TV.

"What is this?" His father said, picked up the card and looked at it, only to realize that it was not a card, but a photo, and the handsome man in the photo was still a little familiar, "Sophie, is this the Hollywood star you like, what Theo or Theorod?" ”

Sophia was slightly stunned, she looked blankly at the signed photo handed over by her father, looked at the shallow footprints in the corner of the photo, and looked down at the letter in her hand in a daze, opened the letter almost tremblingly, and saw the final payment at first glance......

In the next second, Sophia cried, startling her parents.

She just sent a fan letter to Theorod a few months ago, and she didn't expect to receive a handwritten reply from Theorod. God, look what she did! She tore the envelope so roughly! Her hands weren't dried either, and the letter paper was wet! And her father, unexpectedly...... actually stepped on the signed photo of her idol! At that moment, Sophia felt her heart break.

"He wrote me back!" Sophia said while crying, snatched the signed photo from her father's hand, and quickly ran back to the room, like a little girl who received a confession letter, sitting on the edge of the bed, reading the contents of the letter word by word.

Theorod's reply was neither long nor short, and his handwriting was very clean and elegant, which looked particularly comfortable. He first thanked Sophia very politely for writing to him (what a gentle gentleman) and explained that her letters and more than a hundred others had arrived on his birthday, and he was very happy when his agent Marshall gave them to him as a special birthday present (oh, it turned out to be his birthday!). Why didn't she put on a small gift before! ）。

Sophia writes to Theolod about her distress and uncertainty about the future, although she knows that she shouldn't bother her idol for this kind of thing, and people don't necessarily like to see these negative energies, but she wants to be comforted by her idol. She was moved to tears, and Theorod read her letter carefully, and also wrote a long paragraph as a revelation.

He put her on an equal footing, not an elder to a junior, or a star to a fan. The admonition in his tone was not heavy, it was more of a friend-like chatter, and occasionally he would make a few humorous jokes, which gently resolved her troubles, and told her-

"Sophie (he wrote her name in such a beautiful font), when you were young, if you had a dream of persevering, no matter how many difficulties lay ahead, you should persevere, and even if you fail, you will not regret it. What makes you regret it is your abandonment of her. At least I don't regret it now, but my friends think it's because I'm too stubborn...... Hey, German blood is just as stubborn as the Germans, and I've neutralized a lot, what more do you want, my friends? ”

"Look, you still have a lot of time, maybe you can go to school while you work, and it will at least help you get in shape - at least it helped me in the first place. In short, don't waste your time in distress and confusion, we don't have much time in this life for us to struggle. Your painting is very beautiful - thank you for sending me the portrait, I love it too much to sign this perfect painting, but I will send you an unexposed photo in exchange for an autograph - you have talent, don't let the future of America be without a young generation of designers. ”

"Your friend, Theorod Lecht."

Sophia read the letter in a daze, sat on the bed for a long time, suddenly stood up, ran downstairs, and said to her parents: "I want to paint, this is my dream, I don't want to go to the bank, I want to fight while I have the opportunity to have time, I want to go to Paris, I will work by myself, earn my own tuition and living expenses, I want to break through for her, I will not give up." ”

After she finished speaking, she resolutely returned to her room, locked the door, and blocked out the voices of her parents. At that moment, she felt that her heart was extremely relaxed.

Theolod didn't know that his reply to his fans would change the life of a confused girl after that. He received hundreds of letters that day, and he read each one seriously, and then wrote a reply seriously, sometimes he would fill a piece of paper, and sometimes he would only write a sentence or two.

But he thought he would only take the letter he received on his birthday so seriously. Countless letters are sent to Marshall's company every day, some expressing affection and others writing swearing. Most of the time these letters would be handed over to Marshall, who would then assign a few assistants to help sign them, and only a few of the more special letters would be delivered to him.

It took Theolod almost a week to write a reply to all of them, and then he gave them to Bennett to help send them.

Within a few days, Theolod represented the crew of "Soul City" in "Jay Renault's Tonight Show", along with the heroine Jennifer Connelly. After the release of "Soul Shifting City" in March, it had to enter the promotional period of "Fight Club" released in July, followed by "Talented Ripley" in December.

Looking at it this way, Theorod's schedule seems to be filled with movie promotion, and when he asks Marshall if he has a new job recently, the other party also tells him like this-

"New job? Oh, you say new movies? Yes, yes, but you definitely don't like it very much, and campus romantic comedies are probably not your style. Don't be in a hurry, even if you don't get a new film this year, you're still making money: countless fashion magazine shoots, countless TV show recordings, countless film magazine interviews. Of course, you are very welcome to come and see these campus comedies, after all, good movies can't be there every year, and good movies you like can't be there every year, you always have to act in something you don't like or bad movies to spice it up. ”

Marshall's statement made Theolod raise his eyebrows, he didn't say anything more, stayed at home honestly, took the two dogs out for a walk every day very regularly, and occasionally accompanied Maggie out to go shopping, increasing some street photography and exposure.

On the day of the recording of "Jay Renault's Tonight Show", Theolod met Jennifer, who had not been seen for a long time, although the two had some unwarranted scandals before, but in fact, the two of them never met again after the filming of "Soul City". And the filmmaker also intended to hype up the two of them, and before the release, several sets of photos of the two were exposed.

"Hi Jenny, long time no see, how is Kyle doing?" Theolod gave Jennifer a friend's hug. Kyle is Kai Connery Dugan, the child of her and ex-boyfriend David Dugan, born in 1997 and now almost two years old.

"I've entered the age of noisy." Jennifer laughed, with a gentle look on her face when she mentioned her child, "But he loves the UFO doll you gave him for Christmas, and every night he asks me if aliens will come to capture him, and he wants to go on an alien adventure." ”

"Maybe he'll be an adventurer when he grows up." Theorod trank, looked at the staff who were gesturing at them, raised his hand very gentlemanly, and continued, "I'm sure Jay will make fun of us with those clichés and old pictures in a moment, are you ready to go to war, Miss Connelly?" ”

"Of course, Mr. Lecht." Jennifer smiled and took Theolod's arm, "They can't take me down." ”
