Chapter 27: The Olsen Sisters
Zhou Xuan followed the housekeeper Jonathan to the living room, and when he saw the two people who wanted to hire him from a distance, he was stunned, and turned his head to Jonathan and said softly: "This is the boss who wants to ask me to be a private chef?" Isn't April Fool's Day a long time ago? Just kidding, right? They look younger than I ......."
"Uh, you don't know them? Sister Olson. Jonathan was also stunned for a moment and said with a wry smile.
"I don't know." Zhou Xuan replied truthfully.
Two petite girls sit curled up on the sofa, like two dolls, with the same small round nose and deep-set blue round eyes.
Perhaps they don't like to be seen as confusing twin sisters, and consciously or unconsciously create some differences. One of them wore a denim shirt and black leather pants, simple and a little frivolous elegance. Almost no makeup, no jewelry, except for a watch.
The other was punk-like, dressed in black with a pair of torn black stockings, wearing four large and small rings and beaded chains layered on his wrists, with thick smoky makeup on his eyes, looking cool, and a cigarette in his mouth.
"Mr. Jonathan, are you kidding? Such a young chef? The punk girl spit out a smoke ring and spoke, like a cartoon character who talks eloquently in the tone of a businessman, and Zhou Xuan thinks her tone is very funny.
Jonathan smiled and said, "Miss Mary, he is the chef in charge of the meal tonight, I went to the kitchen to confirm, in fact, I was just as surprised as you." But there are some outstanding young people in this world, aren't they? This is Mr. Zhou Xuan, whose English name is Stephen, and these two are Mary. Kate. Miss Olsen and Ashley. Miss Olsen. ”
Jonathan knew that Zhou Xuan didn't know them, so he made an introduction, and it was normal for Chinese not to know them.
"Do you really know how to cook? How to wear sportswear? Mary looked at Zhou Xuan from head to toe, still feeling strange. If the person in front of him is a young actor who came to Hollywood, he is more credible than a chef.
"It's really me, since I can have a young boss like you two, why can't I be a good chef? As for sportswear, I'm actually an athlete. Zhou Xuan smiled.
"Aren't you a chef, why do you still call yourself an athlete? Ha Lu Ha. When did the Chinese become so humorous? Mary laughed.
Zhou Xuan thought to himself, this girl's laughter is too low, right? And the other one seems to be settled, only listening and not speaking, the difference in the personality of the two sisters is big enough. He smiled and explained: "Actually, I'm just working as a chef for a short time to make some money, I'm a professional player, and I'm going to the NBA draft in June. I played for the Los Angeles Defenders in the Development League. ”
"Really? We know Kobe, Odom, Bynum, they're much stronger than you, they're as tall as monsters, are you really basketball? Ashley also spoke, no matter how she pretended to be steady and mature, her voice was still like a child.
"I'm about the same height as Nash, playing point guard." Zhou Xuan thought to himself that if you watch the game, you should always know Nash.
"What do you think, Mary?" Ashley asked.
"I don't know, but Nathan is really bad at cooking." Mary sighed.
Ashley looked at Zhou Xuan and said, "We can pay you a high salary, and there is a chef at home, can you teach him to cook?" Just let him improve a little bit. ”
"As long as he is willing to learn, there is nothing wrong with it, but I can't take the time out to teach him, he just learns next to him when he cooks." Zhou Xuan said in his heart This girl is very good at business, ask me to take an apprentice, if she learns, that person will stay the same. I am determined not to work for long, and it is convenient to leave a "substitute" in case I don't do well.
"Okay, let's go back and discuss it, let someone draw up a contract, although you don't have a senior chef certificate, but you can cook at this kind of party, it must be very good, and we will talk about it later." What's your phone number? Ashley asked.
Zhou Xuan left the phone, but the two sisters did not leave him a phone number, and the conversation ended like this. Zhou Xuan just had to go home and wait for news, he really wanted to tell the two sisters that he hated waiting the most.
It was not early, Zhou Xuan and the people from Beicheng Company left the villa together, but the group had some supper to celebrate, and then Wang Meng sent a car to send him home. In the past two days, Beicheng has not given much money, and the position is still reserved for him, if the negotiation over there is not good, he can come back to Wang Meng at any time. Having this back path minimizes his stress.
After going home and taking a shower, Zhou Xuan told Mitchell about today's situation, and wanted to ask his opinion on whether it was good to be a private chef.
Mitchell listened to the duck egg with his mouth open, and said excitedly: "Make no mistake, you met the Olsen sisters, and they want to ask you to be a chef." Can you happen to this kind of thing? And you don't know them yet? ”
"They're actors? Singer? Is the family rich? Zhou Xuan asked.
"Of course there is money. You're already the best of the young, and the sisters are American legends. They now have about $200 million, all of which they earn. Mitchell exclaimed.
"What? Two hundred million? What the hell do they do? ”
Mitchell took a deep breath and said with a smile: "Their parents are just ordinary middle class, but they are involved in reality shows, movies, records, photo, cosmetics, clothing and other businesses. ”
"When?"
"Nine months."
"......" Zhou Xuan thought that the two sisters were the eldest ladies of a rich family, and they grew up with a golden key, but he didn't expect it to be so magical.
Mitchell went on to tell the story of the Olsen sisters.
When they were only 4 months old, a friend introduced their mother to take their two children to audition for a TV cast. When the producers carried the two swaddling babies from their mother's arms, the two sisters were surprisingly quiet and didn't cry at all, so they were lucky enough to play their first roles in their lives. This audition was the first and easiest in their acting careers.
They are regarded as the youngest daughters of all Americans, and they appeared in the super-long TV series "Family Portrait" at the age of 9 months, and were pretended to be a child by the director, and co-starred in Michely. Tana's role, when one cries, changes to the other, until she is 8 years old.
The family comedy-style series was a hit after airing in 1987 and ceased production until its eighth season in 1995. Viewers in the U.S. watched the two children grow up on television, and the Olson sisters became household names as child stars, and their popularity and household name as black comedy star Bill became known as a family name. Cosby is on par, paving the way for their future acting careers.
After the hit TV series "Family Portrait", the Olsen sisters became the idols of young American audiences, especially little girls. "Family Portrait" also brought a huge commercial effect to the two sisters, and products related to the characters and images of the two sisters in the play, such as dolls, books, game software, DVDs, etc., continued to sell well with the continuous broadcast of the series. As long as it is a product with two people's names on the logo, it will be snatched up as soon as it hits the shelves.
The sisters have gained fame and fortune, and it is a miracle that they became TV series producers at the age of 6.
After the Olsen sisters turned 18, they were officially appointed presidents of the Double Star Entertainment Group of Companies, each with 1. Control of $500 million in wealth. Headquartered in the city of Los Angeles, Double Star Entertainment Group operates in a wide range of ways, including all things Mary. Kate and Ashley's books, DVDs, dolls, clothing, jewelry, cosmetics and more.
By 2007, they were ranked third in the "Greatest Child Stars" by VH1 TV, and ranked 11th on the Forbes list of the richest female artists in the world. The Olsen sisters are 22 years old this year, and thankfully, they didn't become ugly, perverse, profligate, and die early on drugs like most child stars.
Of course, there are also bad things happening, they have not acted in a successful "women's film" so far. The most recent movie is called "The New York Moment," Mary. Kate gave her first on-screen kiss, and the two girls ran across Times Square with a bath towel and a bathrobe. The filmmakers said they wanted to show people the adult Olsen sisters, but the movie was reviewed as "scary" and did a very poor job at the box office. It's hard for the sisters to be a woman. When all the girls want to show as much meat as possible, the sisters' thin bodies are hidden in fat black clothes and big hats, and the ghostly spirit is eerie and unique. Later, they gave up acting and went into business instead.
"Are you a fan of theirs? How do you understand it so clearly? After hearing this, Zhou Xuan seriously suspected that Mitchell was a perverted lolita.
"Please, I'm not a fan, but I watched the TV series they acted in back then, so it was very popular, right? It's like "Friends", everyone in the United States knows the truth. You've got to read entertainment magazines when you have time, and it's not uncommon to meet celebrities in Los Angeles, and it's embarrassing if you go to a party and don't know a celebrity. Mitchell swallowed and foamed at the mouth, diverting the subject, as if there was a ghost in his heart.
"I didn't even make it to the NBA, so you started thinking about what happened after I became famous?"
"yes, that's a dream come true."
Zhou Xuan doesn't think so, there is a saying in China that "the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment", and happiness generally comes inadvertently.
Now, Zhou Xuan has developed a strong interest in the Olsen sisters, who are slightly older than him, but have achieved such amazing achievements that many of their peers have not yet started making money at the age of 22. He also admires the two sisters who have achieved success in this career. I can't help but think, "How much money will I make when I'm 22 years old?" If I become famous in the near future, will the media compare my name with theirs? It's like the Chinese saying that things gather like and people gather by groups? ”。
For this somewhat strange reason, he began to expect the sisters to call him, and he was determined to be the chef, even if he didn't make more money than Beicheng, he wanted to see what the lives of the two legendary sisters were like, and get some luck.
