Chapter 58: Everyone has a dream of stardom

"There are so many dishes in Chinese food, and this Chinese restaurant belongs to Cantonese cuisine. Located in the United States, the taste is certainly not too authentic to suit American tastes. However, you can still taste the unique taste of Chinese food, for example, we use deep frying and Western food likes to boil in water, and Cantonese food must drink soup. Chen Tiandu brought Charlize to Chinatown, chose a Cantonese restaurant at random, and introduced Charlize with a smile, "Do you like sweet or salty, lighter or stronger?" ”

Charlize seemed to understand or not, and made an elegant expression, "I like to eat sweeter, I heard that Chinese restaurants also have Chinese burgers, and the vegetables in them are rarely all fat." ”

Chen Tiandu thought about it for a while before he figured out what a "Chinese-style hamburger" was, but it was just a meat bun. Immediately laughed, "Chinese hamburger, that's a really good name." I don't know if there are Chinese burgers in Cantonese restaurants, probably not. In fact, the method is very simple, and if you book in advance, the chef can also do it. "If you want to make American money in a Chinese restaurant that is not famous, you can make many special dishes, provided that you make a reservation.

"I've heard Kate say you're a good cook. So... Will you do it? Charlize blinked, and suddenly asked.

"Of course."

Chen Tiandu bared his teeth, "Cooking has become one of my few hobbies, and when I have the opportunity in the future, I plan to travel around the world, taste the world's cuisine, and then make it myself." If I have time, I will also open a pie duì and invite a group of friends to taste my craft. So, shall I order food now? ”

"Good ideal, then remember to call me then." Charlize happily handed over the menu.

Chen Tiandu nodded, but after turning a few pages of the menu, he threw it aside, and called the boss: "Boss, let's have a white-cut concubine chicken, begonia mushrooms, flower fish maw, and winter melon Gu." For soup, two servings of cold melon pork rib soup. ”

"Okay. At first glance, you can tell that Mr. has eaten Cantonese food, has he come from Hong Kong, come to the United States for tourism, business or study? The boss smiled and greeted him in the vernacular.

Chen Tiandu responded with a smile, but it was Mandarin. He didn't learn Cantonese specifically, and he learned a few words from Hong Kong movies, "Yes, my home is in Yanjing, and I don't speak Cantonese very well, so I came to the United States to do some small business." How long has Big Brother been in the US? How about business. ”

This Niu Ge is also an eight-sided and exquisite character, and said with a smile: "Now that Hong Kong has returned, everyone is a family, not to mention that the Chinese in the world are one family." My surname is Niu, so I'll hold on to it, you can call me Brother Niu. I have been coming to this street for 18 years, from the beginning to wash dishes for fellow villagers, and then to become a second chef and a chef, and now I have opened a restaurant for my two children to go to school. Many people from their hometowns like to taste some general dishes, and today Brother Niu will show you a hand. Hey, I'm a little familiar, haven't you seen it anywhere? ”

Charlize watched curiously as they chatted, not at all impatient.

Chen Tiandu smiled, "I acted in a movie and released it in the United States. But it's not very famous, and most people will feel familiar when they see it, but they can't recognize it. ”

"Acting in a movie. Good business, Chenlong's movies are very popular here. Wait...... I seem to know you. Brother Niu suddenly stared at Chen Tiandu and fished his head, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it, and then suddenly shouted into the back room with his voice in his voice, "Yingying, come out and take a look, isn't this the star of the movie you watched last time, what is it called, look at my memory." ”

"Old Bean, what do you want me to do?"

A sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl walked out dissatisfied, and then her eyes widened and she said in surprise: "Kreismus-Chen, the director and star of "The Sixth Sense", a multimillionaire, I read it right. ”

Charlize understood this, and couldn't help but look at Chen Tiandu and laugh.

Chen Tiandu also bowed, "Hello, Miss Niu Yingying." It's me, my Chinese name is Chen Tiandu. ”

There weren't many people in the restaurant, and when they heard that a Hollywood star was coming, they were all curious to look at it. "The Sixth Sense" is the ticket king of the United States this year, and there are still quite a few people who recognize him.

Chen Tiandu also felt at home, and Boss Niu also specially sent two bottles of treasured red wine, eating Cantonese food and drinking red wine, which was really ...... A pleasant and hearty dinner.

Charlize deliberately narrowed the relationship and selected topics that Chen Tiandu was interested in to ask. Chen Tiandu answered a lot of questions about Chinese food, and talked about some movies and life things; Of course, Charlize also confided many of his own stories to him.

"I started ballet at the age of 6 and became a fashion model at the age of 14, but the reason why I didn't continue to do it in the dance world was because I accidentally injured my knee during a performance, so I changed my career to modeling. At the age of 15, well... When something happened at home, my mother took me back to Europe, and after staying for a while, I came to Los Angeles, USA. When I first arrived in Los Angeles, life was really uneventful. Not only do I have to participate in business activities as a model from time to time, but I also have to juggle my studies, which is really hard, good and fulfilling. ”

Charlize had a glass of wine in his stomach, and the topic couldn't stop, or no one talked to him for a long time, "When I was 18 years old, I was favored by an acting agent and invited to join his agency. It's a pity that what I waited for was one audition after another, and I didn't play my first small role until I was 2o years old. ”

"I know, Chicago Ghost 3." Chen Tiandu poured her wine.

"Yes." Charlize drank it all in another sip, and Chen Tiandu filled it again, "If there is no acting, I won't have much to look forward to." It's a pity that as long as you play it once, you will be addicted and can't let go. You know, there are so many girls like me in Los Angeles who dream of stardom every day. In order to become a star, he is willing to do anything, even if he has a little chance. One of the girls I used to rent a house with, a Mexican, slept with eight men, but each one of them was willing to help her, it was really cruel......"

Chen Tiandu was silent, he could understand that mood.

Before getting the "artifact", why not do all kinds of investment moves without a lower limit. Hollywood is the entertainment capital of the world, and there are countless people who work in Los Angeles related to acting, and maybe just grab anyone from the street and maybe have worked in a certain crew. If you want to get ahead, it will be more difficult, especially for actresses.

Didn't say anything, fill it for her again.

Chen Tiandu chose to be a loyal listener.

"Although I have played small roles in recent years, I have also worked with many big names, including the movie "Unstoppable Miracle" directed by Tom Hanks, "Devil's Advocate" starring Keanu Reeves and Al Pacino, and "Celebrity Variety" directed by Woody Allen. In "The Devil's Advocate", I am even the heroine, which is a little famous, but that's all, not many people know me. Instead, he played a supporting role in "The Sixth Sense", which got me more attention. People are not satisfied, they want to be famous when they are unknown, they want to be famous if they are a little famous, and when they are famous enough, they will want to make more money, people are dissatisfied with the status quo, people are like this, hehe, the cold world ......"

"Sorry for listening to so many boring things." Charlize drank a few more sips of wine, pushed the empty cup over, and motioned for Chen Tiandu to fill up.
