Chapter 200: The Celebrity Walks Away
Step into the terrace of this small wooden cottage and you'll be greeted by the winding hills of the Rocky Mountains and a snowy landscape.
Collins took a deep breath.
"It's awesome, it's like my brain has been emptied, and all the mess of worries is gone."
Daniel wrapped his arms around her waist from behind and rubbed his chin on the top of her head a few times.
"We can come every year if we like."
With the snow in the snow, the villa in the mountains, and the man you love talking sweetly, Collins feels that this trip to Aspen has made such a beautiful start.
"Come here every year to conceive one, go back to Berlin or Los Angeles to give birth, and come back the next year to conceive anotherβ"
"Shut up!"
Collins gave Daniel a super-big white eye - probably no one in the whole of Berlin had ever seen a white eye of Collins's size, from the airport to his arrival in Aspen last night, and now when he woke up, Daniel never left the topic of giving birth to a small life.
"Dan, now we can't have a baby, you don't have time, I don't have time, I can only hand him or them over to a nanny, or a child care nurse. It doesn't do them any good. β
"Don't be nervous, Collins, I didn't say I want to have children now. But do you think we could consider going further? β
"Married?"
"Uh-huh."
This is the result of Daniel's time, if he and Collins want to last for a long time, they must be transformed into the state of relatives as soon as possible, otherwise this state of the world is from the north to the north, across the Atlantic. One day it will ruin the relationship.
However, Daniel did not realize that his understanding of marriage was different from Collins's.
He doesn't have much ambition for running a relationship. Collins makes him comfortable because she neither clings to Daniel nor constantly asks for companionship, and of course, she is not cold and unapproachable.
But Collins was just a young girl in her early twenties who had just graduated from college. It is difficult for her to regard this bland relationship with Daniel as her future marriage model.
Also attractive to each other. Then keep the relationship going, and if both parties feel the time has come, then go one step further, if the attraction is not there. Then naturally separate.
This is Collins' idea.
I have to say, it's a bit upside down. Collins's view of getting along is more "Hollywood" than Daniel's.
Hollywood stars are most afraid of trouble, and marriage often means trouble. Because no matter how well you write a prenuptial agreement - in fact, it can't be very good at all, unless you are planning a divorce in the first place, and when the two of you are really facing marital problems, there are still countless troubles.
From Collins's silence, Daniel knew about what she was thinking, and he certainly wouldn't force her. In fact, he just wanted to make everything a little more reasonable, such as a marriage that had been notarized in the United States and Germany. can make this relationship not have a sense of crisis that stays too long. But if Collins wasn't ready, then the rationality was untenable.
"My dear, I'm just making a suggestion. Of course, I need to be comfortable and happy with each other before I think about going into church. β
"I'm sorry, Danny. I may not have been prepared for it. β
"No, no, it doesn't have to be. I'm just rejoicing. If I had used a big battle to propose, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to get off the stage. β
Collins stomped his slipper on the top of Daniel's foot.
β¦β¦
Aspen's Christmas trip is nothing but a little discordant at the beginning. Overall it was fantastic.
Starting Dec. 20, the Colorado town will begin a 12-day Christmas campaign with four world-class ski resorts that attract celebrities and the wealthy. Of course, people who love to talk can also find their own chat friends here, talk about some warm topics around the fire. Or like Daniel and Collins, shivering in the bantam carriage but still lingering on this ice wonderland.
"The world of ice and snow is really beautiful, and your film company should make an ice and snow film."
"Cartoons?"
Daniel thought of "Frozen" and "Ice Age", the former is a Disney masterpiece, while the latter is a famous work of Blue Sky Studios, which was just produced and released by Twentieth Century Fox this year, and "Ice Age", which is quite impressive worldwide. Blue Sky's performance surprised DreamWorks Animation and Pixar.
This special effects studio, which is not very technically adequate, has produced a bunch of cute ice and snow animals with sparse hair because they are slightly inferior in hair.
As it turned out, the audience bought it.
Collins had clearly seen the film.
"It should be, it is difficult for live-action movies to show the magic of ice and snow."
"Maybe Weta Digital will start making cartoons one day, but not now." Whether it's Pixar or Blue Sky, they all started with special effects. Of course, Blue Sky's business is not as big as Vita's, and in fact, they really weren't that conspicuous before Ice Age came out.
The two also met some acquaintances who didn't know each other well, such as Paris. Hilton and Ivanka. Trump, these two rich and famous ladies.
Paris is now Donald. Tenap's contracted model, Ivanka is his daughter, who is also modeling. It's no secret that the Hiltons love to come to Aspen for Christmas, and in fact their huge family comes here every year, sometimes for Christmas and after Christmas.
So it's not unusual to meet these two.
They were clearly interested in Daniel, and unlike Collins, they were both entertainers, and it was normal for them to have fun when they saw them.
But Daniel thought of Paris. The name Hilton, and Ivanka's father, the billionaire who amused the election, couldn't afford to deal with it anyway, and his perfunctory attitude almost made Collins unbearable. Not to mention two ladies who basically won't be rejected. In any case, for the men, they are collecting stamps at the same time. It was also a shiny new stamp to add to his philatelic album.
Mutual benefit.
Everyone retained a little bit of face and parted ways.
In fact, the Hilton family is not very ranked in the United States, and at its peak it was only billions of dollars in assets. The Hilton Hotel has a market value of 20 billion yuan, but the Hilton family has less than 14% of the shares.
"These people are always uncomfortable, aren't they?"
Under Collins' puzzled gaze, Daniel had to raise his hand in surrender. Give up your silence to be right.
"You don't really look like a Hollywood star, I'm serious. Daniel, is it because you haven't been in Hollywood long enough to be tainted by them? β
"Pollution?" Daniel smacked his lips, "Girl." Your approach to your boyfriend is full of prejudice and doubts. β
Collins, who accidentally exposed himself, had to stick out his tongue and act as if it hadn't happened.
"Not every Hollywood star, or male star, likes to constantly change the ** around him."
"'Not every one'? So, is it most? β
"Yes, sharp girl. You're right. So you were definitely an angel with broken wings in your last life, so you will get my affection. β
After Daniel said this, he began to laugh inexplicably. He laughed until Collins was about to turn his face before he could barely hold back.
Angels in China are indeed not a good word, and angels with folded wings are not.

They spent four days of vacation in Aspen thoroughly, which was two and a half more than the average person. They have a half-day holiday on Christmas Eve, plus a full day for Christmas. However, "Pirates of the Caribbean" is on a tight schedule. But three days is a given, because many people are really busy for a long time and can't see their families.
Daniel moved another day. However, they split up at the Los Angeles airport, with Collins flying directly to Berlin and Daniel back to Burbank.
After the holidays, everyone looks alive.
The box office market is still in full swing, and "Twin Towers" has successfully entered the $200 million mark, and word-of-mouth and reviews are flying all over the world.
Daniel's fans naturally enjoyed the shivering sensation of being shot in the heart by Legolas.
One of the most important awards of the awards season, the Golden Globe Awards, opened a list of nominees before Christmas, and Daniel let go of that to travel. Recently, though, it's sparking speculation, and of course, there's not a lot of surprises on the Golden Globe list.
On the list of feature films, Jack. Nicholson's "About Schmidt," Miramax's "Gangs of New York," Meryl. Streep, Nicole. Kidman, Julian. Moore's three top actresses' "All the Time" and "The Two Towers" also received a nomination, and the last one was Polanski and Daniel's "The Pianist".
In the sound comedy, Rob. Marshall's "Chicago" is aggressive, and "My Greek Wedding" has a box office of 400 million, and it is also a heavyweight.
Drama film actor, except for Daniel, "Gangs of New York" is Daniel. Wear. Lewis was selected, and Leonardo was shortlisted for "Cat and Mouse Game", and the scenery was great. Jack. Nicholson, of course, had no surprises.
The most surprising thing about Daniel on the entire list was that he and Nia. Vadalas was actually shortlisted for both the actor and actress of the music comedy. Nia can barely be counted, to be honest, although Daniel showed his extraordinary comedy skills in "Greek Wedding", it really can't be said to be an extraordinary performance, but in this year's series of musical comedies, it is not particularly surprising to enter the top five, but in terms of awards, Daniel feels that he is unlikely.
"Chicago" was shortlisted for seven awards and eight people, becoming the biggest winner. Rob. Marshall catapulted to become one of Hollywood's most talked-about directors.
"Greek Wedding" also had four nominations, in addition to Best Sound Comedy, and Best Actress, it was also nominated for Best Adapted Screenplay - although Nia is the screenwriter of the stage play, the film script is indeed an adaptation.
On the contrary, "The Pianist" does not seem to be very popular with the Golden Globe Awards, with only two nominations: Best Feature Film and Best Actor.
Daniel, who has been shortlisted for two years, is not too optimistic about this year's award. (To be continued)
