Chapter Ninety-Four: The Food Fight
Sitting quietly in her chair, Natalie opened the script, and the first thing that caught her eye was a painting of a thin girl in a striped short-sleeved shirt, with a dark brown bob head covering a sad face, two lines of tears hanging under her bright eyes, and a silver-white sun-shaped pendant around her neck that was particularly conspicuous.
Mathilda? This is me? This girl is clearly what she looks like.
Natalie didn't ask, but continued to look through the back, and there were more than a dozen sketches in the back, most of them sketched out of her, and a few scenes of her staring at a tall man with a big nose.
Although the level of painting is not very high, but you can still distinguish the demeanor of the characters, I don't know Weishenme, Natalie After looking at these paintings, she unconsciously remembered the book "Lolita" that she had peeked at.
Maybe it's just my delusion, that nasty guy shouldn't be so boring. Natalie shook her head and flipped through the text of the script.
Gangsters? Killer? Action scenes? Her brow furrowed, remembering that the name of the script was "Killer Leon", it was normal for this kind of scene to appear, wasn't it?
As an extremely intelligent girl, she reads very quickly, and finally saw Matilda appear, and the miserable experience of this precocious girl instantly attracted her, especially the few lines in it, which were very well written.
Is life so painful? Or is it only in childhood? It's already so painful!
It seems to have the level of "The Sixth Sense", yes, this guy didn't perfunctory her! Natalie pulled out a smile, obviously able to write this kind of thoughtful work, but he had to move closer to commercialization, for fear that others would not smell the copper smell on his body!
Right! It's the smell of copper! She remembered that it was the word in Chinese.
Natalie was in a very happy mood and felt that it should be a wise choice to play such a role, however, the good times did not last long, as the plot deepened, her brows twisted, especially when she saw the emotional exchange between Leon and Matilda, and suddenly realized that Matilda was clearly a strong and alternative Lolita!
Unconsciously, her mouth rose, her cheeks bulged, and she began to browse at a glance and ten lines, the more she looked at it, the more conflicted her mood became, she had starred in a lot of stage plays, and she had also seen a lot of scripts, especially after knowing Ryan, every script he wrote would mail her an attachment, somewhat discerning.
The two characters of Leon and Matilda are extremely well portrayed, especially Matilda, her character, her traits, are almost tailor-made for her, but Weishenme, the relationship between her and Leon is ......
All right! She admits that without this relationship, the script would be of a mediocre level at best, just Ryan Jenkins, a bastard! This is the script he keeps saying for himself?
Natalie scratched her face and closed the script, Ryan leaned over and asked, "Nat......"
"Ryan, what are you thinking? Did you sneak a peek at Lolita? Before the other could finish speaking, Natalie asked.
"Ah...... Lolita ...... "Ryan was really stopped by Natalie's question, and then reacted, "Nat, you actually peeked at Lolita!" ”
"......" Natalie opened her mouth and quickly changed the subject, "Ryan, what the hell are you thinking?" Oh my God, the aiqing story of a twelve-year-old girl and a middle-aged killer, are you crazy? ”
"Come on, Nat, it's just a fairy tale, a fairy tale about a killer." Ryan waved his hand and started running the train, "You should be able to tell that Matilda and Leon are a complex relationship of gratitude, fatherhood, friendship, and affection, not pure love. ”
"I promise, in the eyes of the vast majority of people, they are a kind of love affair." Natalie wouldn't have easily believed his nonsense.
"Well, frankly, Nat, do you want to play Matilda?" Ryan simply went straight to the point, and all that nonsense was a trivial matter.
"This ......" Natalie was a little hesitant, and to be honest, the role was really appealing to her.
"Let's put it this way, Nat, as long as you play well, those guys will definitely put the name of acting genius on your head." Ryan simply used temptation, and with his past results, it was somewhat convincing.
Acting genius? Natalie was moved, she couldn't surpass this guy in her life in making up stories, writing, and music, and the only thing that could beat him was acting, and she always had to overpower him in some way, right?
Besides, after honing for so many years, isn't it just an opportunity to wait? Ryan is now her best friend, and if the status difference between the two is too far, it will definitely affect the future relationship, and she doesn't want to lose her only friend.
It's just that she always feels weird, but she can't say what's wrong, and it feels like Ryan has set her a trap and made her drill into it willingly.
Ryan didn't say anything more, Natalie was obviously moved, and she would presumably make her own choice when there was news from the French side.
The two had known each other for more than two years, and one letter and two phone calls a week, almost never stopped, and he didn't believe the nonsense of his previous life - my future is in Jerusalem, not Hollywood - and no one knows better than him what kind of ideals or ...... this girl has Ambition, even to her parents.
It was getting late, and after hanging up the phone to Mrs. Shelly, Ryan and Natalie left the room and headed for the hotel restaurant.
Mrs. Shelly knew that the two were the only friends of the same age in each other, and that they had not seen each other for a long time, and that they must have much to say, but they told them to stop arguing, and to send Natalie back before ten o'clock.
Ryan heard something else from it, and couldn't help but scratch his head a little, he also knew that Westerners were precocious, and it was not uncommon for them to start having boyfriends and girlfriends at eleven or twelve, and his relationship with Natalie was not ordinary, so it was normal for Mrs. Shelly to be worried.
It's just that he really doesn't think that way now, at least that's what he thinks himself, look at Natalie, thin, weak, almost skinny......
Well, it's still a cute Lolita, though, he's not going to be a beast like that, after all, it's his best friend.
Waldorf Astoria Hotel's Western restaurant has a variety of meals and the chef's level is also very high, but unfortunately, there are not many types of food suitable for Natalie, many foods in the West, most of them are added with animal fat, although vegetarianism is common, but it is rare to see such a strict as Natalie's family.
Fruit salad, vegan cheese bread, mashed potatoes, apple pie, that's Natalie's food, Ryan sat across from her, the staple in front of him was ten ripe steaks and roasted leg of lamb, he watched Natalie eat and had the urge to order a whole roast leg of lamb for her.
"Nat, Weishenme must stick to a vegetarian diet?" Ryan feels like he's enjoying food, and it's a sin to let his friends eat food that doesn't taste good.
"Daddy's request, he said, it's Jewish tradition." Natalie shrugged indifferently.
Ryan rolled his eyes, he couldn't figure it out, Natalie is a very assertive girl, and in most things, her father can't force her, such as signing an agent contract with Kingsley, Weishenme is just in food, and she has become an obedient and good daughter?
"I don't think vegetarian food is bad." Natalie added.
"Don't you feel too thin?" Ryan pointed to her thin arm, "Our age is a critical period of development, and plant protein can't completely replace animal protein, which will affect your growth, I can promise, Nat, if you only stick to a vegetarian diet, when you grow up, at most you will be as tall as I am now." ”
"Five feet five inches?" Natalie's eyes rolled, "I think it's nice to be tall." ”
"Okay?" Ryan pursed his lips and deliberately forked a delicious steak and stuffed it into his mouth in a slow motion, but unfortunately, Natalie turned a blind eye, "I'm telling you, Nat, I'll be at least six feet tall when I grow up, and don't cry when you stand so short in front of me." ”
"I can wear high heels." Natalie's reasons are endless, "Besides, Ryan, what does a woman do when she grows so tall?" Well...... Like Nicole, don't you mind......"
Ryan gestured to continue, and Natalie continued, "Like Nicole, she's a little too tall, and I think it's better for a woman to be no more than five feet seven inches." ”
He scratched his head a little, obviously trying to persuade her not to insist on vegetarianism, but when it came to height, she took the initiative in the topic.
In fact, Ryan would like to tell her that if you continue to adhere to a strict vegetarian diet, height may not be a big problem, but in the future, breasts will be B or even A at best.
But can such a thing be said? If it were, with Natalie's character, she would definitely have that plate of fruit salad on his face.
Ryan didn't give up, and continued to persuade, "Nat, do you want some lamb, this is an authentic French roast leg of lamb." ”
After speaking, he cut off a piece and put it in his mouth, revealing a somewhat intoxicated appearance.
"Really?" Natalie gave him a pair of white eyes back, "Ryan, I've heard nutrition experts say that people who eat too much meat will not only have rough skin, but also have a bad smell on their body!" ”
"Smelly?" Ryan's eyes widened.
"Really." Natalie quietly made a V-sign under the table and continued, "So, you should try to be a vegetarian!" ”
"Vegetarian?" Ryan didn't even think about it, he shook his head, is there anything more terrifying than not being able to eat meat? He still wants to taste all the delicious foods in the world in this life.
Even if Natalie is smart enough, but after all, she is still young, in the face of Ryan's clever tongue, and she has only adhered to strict vegetarianism for a few years, under his even deceived bewitchment, she still tasted a little leg of lamb, seeing that her expression was not repulsive, in exchange, Ryan also ate a lot of fruit salad and vegan bread.
After dinner, the two talked for a while, and Ryan found an assistant and asked her to drive Natalie back.
Despite being robbed of the conversation by Natalie at dinner, Ryan was still happy, strict vegan or something was the most annoying, and now that the corners were exposed, there was always a day when he could pry, didn't he?
