"Coria, it's really you." The slight doubt in Theorod's eyes turned into joy and tenderness the moment he saw the girl's face, "How long has it been since I've seen you?" Two years or three years? I didn't expect that the girls who had been shouting their brother timidly before have grown so big now, and sure enough, the eighteen women have changed. ”

Theorod's tone still had a hint of weirdness, he hadn't seen his granddaughter for many years, and when he saw his granddaughter again, he was already slim and grandfather-like emotion, this kind of elder-like joy was put on Theorod for some reason without any sense of disobedience, obviously he didn't look much older than Coria.

“…… I wouldn't have shouted Natel like that a long time ago! Coleya, who was inadvertently exposed by Theolod's black history, blushed and shouted, but she found that her reaction seemed to make the smile on the face of the man standing in front of her even more beautiful, so she lowered her head a little resentfully, and sighed in her heart that this guy was really good-looking.

When Nattle took her to the cinema to watch "First Class Fear", she couldn't believe that the pure, charming and sometimes evil and dangerous man in the film was the inconspicuous vegetable head who had been following Nattle before, she didn't know what had happened in the past two or three years, but the gentle and perfect star in her friend's mouth was like another person, and until now, she also has this illusion.

The taciturn and cowardly Theorod has become a persistent and determined acting genius? Is this the magic of dreams?

"So, you're moving to Los Angeles? I should have taken you around the city of angels, and now I'm a qualified tour guide. Theorod's magnetic baritone pulled Coria back from her memories, and she saw Theorod standing in front of her like this, completely devoid of the distance between celebrities and ordinary people, and somehow, suddenly panicked.

"Nope! We didn't move to Los Angeles! Instinctively, she eagerly dismissed Theorod's speculation.

"No?"

"Hmm...... In fact... Actually, it's just me here, I'm going to school here, and Natle and Mom, they're ...... I mean, our family moved to...... Texas, yes, Texas! And I just went to high school in Los Angeles and used my spare time to work part-time......"

"......" Kolya's almost anxious disguise made Theolod notice something unusual, but he looked at the girl's crying expression, he was very considerate and did not demolish the other party, but showed a smile with a soothing nature, "Texas? It's a shame that it's so far, and I'm thinking that I can take you around Hollywood when I'm free lately. Are you still used to living in Texas? I know their accents are particularly hard to tell. ”

Theolod said, and the last few sentences also imitated the Texas accent, the kind of lazy cavity unique to Texas mixed with the hoarse smoke produced by the friction of the throat and trachea, which actually has a different flavor.

"Also...... OK. For some reason, listening to Theorod's lazy and gentle tone, Coria felt a sense of guilt, and she said nervously, "Life is not bad over there, we can adapt, Mom and Natel are doing well......"

At this time, the door of the supermarket was pushed open, and a couple walked in arm in arm.

Theorod glanced at them, lowered his hat again, and placed twenty dollars on the cash register. "Looks like I've got to go home, Coria, how about I'll ask you out for a coffee when I have time?" I know it's not easy for a girl to live alone in Los Angeles, if there is any difficulty, you can come to me, I will try to help you, this is my phone. ”

Theolod left his number on the printed □□, smiled at Coria, picked up the bag and pushed the door open, and walked into the Audi, which had been waiting outside the door for a long time.

Coria's eyes remained on the black car, and it wasn't until the car was far away that she withdrew her gaze and scrambled to put Theorod's number in her pocket. Thinking of what she had just said, she couldn't help but scratch her hair in annoyance, and muttered to herself, "What the was I talking about? Texas? Hell, hell, Natle will kill me if he finds out......"

Herman still adhered to his professional ethics of ignoring the business, he knew that Theorod had been in the store for too long, and seemed to have exchanged phone calls with the cashier, but he did not say anything, nor asked questions curiously or sarcastically, but sent Theorod home without saying a word, said goodnight, and left.

Maggie saw that Theolod had only come back with two bottles of fruit wine after going out for so long, and after muttering two or three sentences, she took out the snacks she had prepared and the DVD of "Level 1 Fear" that she bought somewhere. Theorod followed Maggie's temperament, the two sat on the sofa and watched his famous works again, but Theorod was more critical and looked for the shortcomings of his performance in the movie.

Halfway through the film, Theorrod, who was carrying wine bottles stacked on the table with □□ stacked on the table, suddenly said in a chatty tone: "Grandma, you would never have thought of who I met when I went out to buy wine just now." ”

"Ran into the girl of your dreams?" Maggie made a joke.

"Kolia, Kolya Pope, Nattel's little sister."

Maggie suddenly fell silent, and Theorod continued as if he didn't notice it, "It's incredible, Los Angeles is so big, there are thousands of supermarkets, and I am the only one who has met her." She said her family moved to Texas, where she went to school. ”

"Texas ...... Texas is good, whether it's a barbecue or a hand-cut steak......"

"yes, and I'm going to find some time to take Corlia to Hollywood."

"Very good."

"If we could, maybe we could go to Texas too."

“…… Go over there? No, Theo, I'm too old to afford a long journey. ”

"Okay."

After the conversation ended, Theolod never brought it up again, as if it was indeed a topic of small talk that he had come up with by chance.

The next afternoon, Theolod flew to Florida to shoot the final exterior shots and spent his nineteenth birthday on the set.

"Nineteen! At a jealous age, I think I'm old compared to you, but I'm only twenty-two years old, not yet! Nominated for an Oscar at the age of nineteen, Theo, have you ever thought about how many Oscars you will get in the future? Charlize Theron hooked Theolod beside him with his hand holding the whiskey, and there was a hint of drunkenness in his tone.

January 28 was Theorod's birthday, and for this reason, Heckford specially beckoned several of the main actors to go to the bar after a day of filming. However, it is said that it is a celebration for Theorod's birthday, but the birthday celebration place is chosen in a place where children under the age of 21 can only drink soda soda, and it seems that Heckford's good intentions are obvious.

And all of Pacino's scenes are concentrated in New York, so when the filming in New York is over, he can leave the crew early, and naturally he will not follow the crew to Florida to celebrate Theorod's birthday by the way. However, he also said happy birthday to this "junior" whom he admires and loves very much.

"I didn't think about it, actually, I don't think the academics would like me much." Theorod shrugged.

"Why?"

"Because ......"

"I decided to do another round, I invited, who wants?" Theolod's voice interrupted Theorod, and he caught Theron's attention.

"I want it!" She immediately let go of Theorod and raised her hand, "I still want a martini...... Forget it, I'll go with you, how can I let the director serve us dishes and bring drinks? ”

Theolod silently looked at the few guys who were on the rise, silently took out his mobile phone, and sowed a number: "Hey? Taxi companies? Yes, I need to book three cars, tonight at eleven o'clock at the Finks bar...... Reserve the name Taylor Hackford, okay, just call this when the time comes, thank you. ”

Hanging up the phone, Theolod silently picked up the soda in front of him, and while thinking about how much it would cost him to send the children back to the hotel, he thought about how he would throw these drunken guys into the taxi by himself later.

The end result, of course, was to call the driver and the bar bartender to help, but carrying the tall and sturdy old guy from Hekford almost broke Theorod's waist.

As for the consequences of a hangover, it's a fucking headache for everyone to cover their heads and say to each other when they meet early the next morning.

On February 8, "Devil's Advocate" was completed, and after bidding farewell to the crew one by one, Theolod got on the plane and flew back to Los Angeles again. And when he returned, a bunch of appointments came to his door, and for this, Theorod had to make a trip to Marshall's office because there were too many materials.

But when Theorod arrived at the familiar office, he found that there was a man in the office besides Marshall. He looked about the same age and size as Theorod, and he had charming brown eyes of the same color as his hair. In terms of appearance, he is not a typical American tough and handsome guy, but his appearance is very attractive and good-looking.

It seems that he is the second star under the D.N.A. company.

"Theo, it's just in time, I'll introduce you, this is the one I mentioned to you earlier, my Australian countryman, Heath Ledger. Speaking of which, I should have let you know each other a long time ago, after all, only you two celebrities are dependent on each other here. Marshall laughed, "And this guy is a genius too." ”

"Really? That's right, I finally don't have to listen to you babbling in my ear every day. Theolod teased and held out his hand to Hiss, "Hello man, I'm glad to finally meet the comrade I share the pressure of this novice CEO's chatter." By the way, I'm Theolod Lecht. ”

"I know that a Golden Globe winner and Oscar nominee is standing in front of me, and he belongs to the same company as me, how could I not know." Theorod's words made Heath laugh, and his big smile was very beautiful, "But I would like to have the opportunity to work with you in the future." ”

"I believe it's easy to do, as long as Marshall is capable enough...... Well, well, it's going to take a while as well. ”

“…… How do I think you're indirectly complaining that I don't have the strength? Well, well, one day you're going to impress me, little ghost. Marshall scolded with a smile, and pushed the script that had fallen into a hill on the table in front of Theolod, "Look, this is the job that your 'incompetent' agent found for you, big star, do you see if you have any eye-catching?" ”

"Actually, in my eyes, you are still quite powerful." Heath thoughtfully gave Marshall a step, and he raised the contract in his hand, "I'm going back to read the script, so I won't bother." Nice to meet you, Lechte. ”

"Theo, come on, Lecht sounds rusty, Heath, and I seem to be about your age." Theorod winked at Hiss, "We'll have time to talk later." ”

After sending off his juniors, Theolod directly moved the stack of scripts to the sofa in Marshall's office, and he curled up on the sofa, picked up the first book on the surface, flipped through it casually, and put the first book on his right hand after a few minutes, and then silently picked up the second book.

"Boring." He put down the second one.

"Cliché." The third book.

"So I'm only suited to play a murderer?" The fourth book.

"Romance? Hey, I'm past this age of falling in love...... "The fifth book."

Marshall watched him throw aside his carefully selected scripts one by one like garbage, and couldn't help but twitch the corners of his eyes, and suddenly a bad premonition came to mind.
