When Theolod and director Schumacher walked out exchanging scripts and characters, he found the young girl still waiting in the hall. Seeing Theolod and Schumacher walking out together, Anne immediately got up and wanted to walk over, but she was a little hesitant to approach so abruptly, so she could only watch from the side, her eyes were urgent.

"Oh, Annie, are you still there, do you have any doubts?" Schumacher also spotted her, and when he saw that the other party was neither approaching nor not approaching, he thoughtfully took the initiative to step forward and say hello.

"Nothing...... I was just, just thinking, can I treat you to a cup of coffee?" Anne tried to look natural, but it was clearly not her intention.

"No, thank you, I still have something to deal with later, you don't have to be so polite, I don't accept bribes. Schumacher made a joke and looked at Theorod beside him, "Theo, what about you?

Theorod saw something in the embarrassed look that flashed across Anne's face, so he shook his head quietly and smiled, "No, I happen to be free." Let me see the time, it's almost twelve o'clock, I don't think I need coffee, let's have a meal together, Joe, are you coming?"

Schumacher shook his head helplessly: "I'm afraid not, you know, I still have a lot of storyboards to deal with." ”

"It's a pity, then Anne and I will go first, and if you have any good ideas after that, my phone will be turned on for you twenty-four hours a day. Theorod said, turning to look at Anne, "Miss Hathaway, shall we go?"

Anne was slightly stunned when her name was called, but she quickly reacted, nodded quickly, and walked out of the building with Theorod to the parking lot.

"Do you need to talk to your agent?" said Theolod as he got outside, putting on his sunglasses again.

"No, Mr. Lechte, I told him I would go home by myself when I was done. Anne looked a little reserved, she didn't quite understand why Theorod suddenly agreed to go to coffee with her, no, it had now been upgraded to lunch. If she was to dinner, Anne really didn't know which restaurant to invite Theolod to, after all, she would choose a vegetable salad to pass away when she was alone.

Of course, she does have a little expectation in her heart, hoping that she can take this time as the other party's active invitation. Although it is unlikely, this does not prevent her from dreaming of being a princess for a while with the mentality of a little girl.

Theolod didn't ask her about her destination, he seemed to have planned it a long time ago. Anne was a little apprehensive along the way, and if Theorod didn't seem so approachable and easy to get along with, she wouldn't have hesitated so much, after all, she had stayed there in the first place to tactfully show the audition examiners that she valued the film - she knew that she had made a mess during the audition process just now.

If Theorod hadn't been so kind and gentle to her at this time, she would have solemnly expressed her sincerity to the other party to save her poor performance in the audition, and would even beg them to give her another chance - to star in a movie adapted from a popular musical around the world, and play with the youngest Oscar winner in history, which is not a rare opportunity - but in the face of Theorod who has no good manners, Anne can't say those words.

Soon the two of them arrived at their destination, a very ordinary-looking restaurant, not unlike the fast-food restaurants that dotted the streets of Los Angeles, with a few tables of customers scattered around, all of whom looked like neighborhood residents or workers. The plump middle-aged clerk was busy in the store, and when he heard the doorbell that opened the door, he just shouted and sat casually without looking back.

With Theorod's current net worth status appearing in such an inconspicuous street shop, Anne really couldn't figure it out.

But Theorod looked like an old customer, and as soon as he entered the dining room, he went straight to the corner where he had been, pulled out a chair for Anne, and sat down across from her. It wasn't the woman who ordered them, but a younger waitress who lukewarmly placed the menu on the table and turned away.

Anne looked around, and soon saw a framed photograph of Theorod with the woman in the most prominent spot in the store, with his autograph on it.

"This is the restaurant where I used to work and it doesn't look the same. Theorod's voice drew Anne's attention back, and he smiled at her and winked at her when the other person looked over, "I hope you don't mind if I choose this kind of place the first time I invite you to dinner, don't get me wrong, it's just that I can't make the lady pay for it the first time, you can invite me next time, to be honest, some of the things in the high-end restaurant are not as good as here." ”

Theolod said that although it was impossible for him to take off his sunglasses at the moment of fame in public, Anne could feel the gaze behind the sunglasses, which was extraordinarily soft. As he explained, when he saw the middle-aged woman passing by, he immediately raised his hand and said hello, "Hi, Susan." ”

Susan turned her head and saw the smiling Theorod, her eyes widened in surprise: "God, I can't be wrong, why are you here?" She didn't shout Theorod's name out loud, probably because there were other customers in the store, she just walked to Theorod's table, looked at his face, and sighed, "The boy grows up so fast, I haven't seen him for a while, and he's getting more and more handsome and charming." ”

"Why can't I be here? I'll be anywhere there's something good to eat. ”

"You're an actor now!"

"So what? I've always been Theorod. ”

"Well, do you remember your Susan, who is this lovely young lady?

Anne blushed slightly when she heard this, and hurriedly defended: "No, I'm not, we only met today......"

"Really?" Susan didn't believe it, and she looked at Theorod suspiciously.

Theolod was not at all anxious to be misunderstood, he shook his head indifferently and said: "Really, but she is my heroine, I am her hero, I think having a meal together is a good opportunity to promote mutual understanding, considering that we will work together for a long time in the future." ”

After saying that, Theolod thought of something, he looked at Annie, who was wide-eyed in surprise because of his words, and added with a smile: "Oops, I want to slip away, but you will also know this fact soon, the film will contact your agent, so you don't have to worry, you have already got 'Christine'." ”

"Sounds like something to celebrate, do you need me to get you a bottle of wine?" said Susan.

"Wine, at noon, you can spare me, Susan, coffee is fine, I miss the mocha you made, and the herring noodles. What about you, Miss Hathaway? I see you say on your resume that you're a vegetarian? Susan's creamy mushroom soup and potato boiled lentils are pretty good, would you like to try it?"

"Of course, thank you, Mr. Lechte!"

After ordering a good meal, and after Susan was gone, Theorod looked at Anne and said to her, "Do you know why I brought you here, Miss Hathaway?"

Although it was an inquiry, Theolod didn't really wait for Anne to answer, so he gave his own answer: "Actually, compared to those who came from a professional background, I didn't have a high starting point in Los Angeles without any education, you can also see, this restaurant is my starting point, I was still living in a loft not far from here at that time, of course, these have already been dug up by the paparazzi." ”

"You see, Annie, I'm just like you, if not worse than you, but I can still get here on my own. You're talented, you're hardworking, and you can be a superstar in the near future, so I can't figure out why you're so careful?"

"What?" Anne didn't understand what Theolod meant by "careful."

"Just like now. Theolod said, trying to guide her, "You demand perfection from yourself, so you're controlling everything you say and do, but in reality no one is perfect, and neither is my performance, and I admit that sometimes I can't hold back." What really I liked was Annie who was singing against me at the audition, and I saw your potential at that time, so I think you can get this role, but you should be confident in yourself, you perform with spirituality, and I'm looking forward to playing against you like that. ”

"I ...... Try hard, I'm sorry, although it may disappoint you, but I really appreciate your recognition of me, really, just ......" just playing against Theorod really made her feel too stressed. Anne hesitated, but did not choose to say the rest of the words, but Theorod understood what she meant, and he was always surprisingly patient with potential rookie actors.

"It doesn't matter, there will always be a run-in period between actors, I can teach you. Webb told me to practice my vocal music well, and I'm sure he'll give you this death order too, and when the time comes, we can practice together if you have time. Even if you can't sing at the same level as a musical, at least you have to surpass them emotionally and acting, right?" Theolod winked at Anne.

Anne finally smiled, and she regained the liveliness that a girl of this age should have: "Of course, my mother will also give me vocal lessons, and if you have the opportunity, you can also come along...... Oh, and when I didn't say it, doesn't that sound abrupt?"

"Well, that sounds like a good idea, if I did go to see your mother, maybe the paparazzi would have gone crazy with surprise, and their reactions were always funny. Theolod touched his chin, "They've been worrying more about my private life lately than my grandmother. ”

Theorod was right, at least the moment the picture of him sending Anne home was captured by some lucky paparazzi, almost all the gossip media exploded - Theorrod sent a young girl home! He had never sent a lady home before! There must be a secret! There was a scandal! This proves that the two of them had hung out together before, and had at least one meal! Oh, don't mention to them those female celebrities who are so good to him that they are like buddies, can sending buddies back to the hotel or hanging out together be called scandals? Yes, that's right, and they're referring to Cate Blanchett.

That brown-haired girl seems to be just a newcomer who has only turned 18 this year, right? I didn't expect Theolod to be so good...... No, he himself is only four years apart from this girl, and the age problem can't be fried, so change the problem!

Even Marshall was taken aback by the media that had stirred up the pot, and ran over to ask Theolod what was going on: "Didn't you go to the audition? How did you send the newcomer home at the end? Do you really like someone? Even if you do, you have to be a little reserved and tell me first, and have you ever thought that the girl is just a newcomer! You two don't match at all, can you imagine the mood of your fans now? If it's a female star of Kate's level, why did you just find a fledgling girl? ”

Theorod listened quietly to him pour bitter water before saying, "Didn't you always worry that I didn't have any scandals? Indeed, it's not good to be single for too long, and even the media are anxious." ”

Marshall was slightly stunned when he heard this, and immediately reacted: "Are you using others?"

"How can you be sure that people are not taking advantage of me? Marshall, you know my ability to avoid the paparazzi, and Anne is not a big star and is almost not noticed by the paparazzi, so why does a paparazzi just appear near her house?" Theolod shrugged, it was commonplace to be hyped up, and I don't know how many times I had experienced it in my last life, so I was naturally not in a hurry.

But it seems that Anne doesn't know about it, and she just called him early in the morning to apologize to him and confess to him that it was her agent's idea.

“…… Don't mislead me, to put it bluntly, you're just using each other. Marshall rubbed his temples with a headache, "Okay, I'll settle this matter, if it weren't for the fact that the object of your scandal was just an obscure little character, I would have left it alone." But next time, if you have an idea of using it, just tell me, I'm your agent, and I'll arrange a target for you that at least won't cause the anger of your fans. If you have other girlfriends who are well covered, you should know me too, at least I can be prepared if something goes wrong. ”

After hearing this, Theolod thought seriously, and his appearance made Marshall think that he really had a secret lover, and immediately closed the door and stood in front of him with his arms crossed: "Could it be that you really have it?"

"No, but I think I should confess one thing to you, after all, you are my agent, and we have been working together for so long, I can't keep it a secret from you. ”

"What's the matter? Seriously?"

"It's not serious. Theorod shook his head, "It's just that I'm gay." ”

"Oh, I thought it was...... Wait??????" 166 Reading Network
