Chapter 222: South African Diamonds

"Haven't you come yet, Charlie?" Keanu? Reeves asked as he walked towards the back garden.

"Don't worry, Keanu." Charlize? Theron looked at his watch, "I guess it's going to take a while, Ryan has a class in the afternoon, and it will take time to get from downtown Los Angeles." ”

This is a villa in Santa Monica, is it Charlize? Theron's newly purchased residence, which Ryan has extended invitations to host since she returned to Los Angeles from Rosario, threw this celebratory party.

One is that she moved to a new home, and the other is that "Scream 2" starring her is a big hit and has become a popular figure in the film market in October.

Remembering that the movie broke $70 million at the box office in just three weeks, Charlize? Theron's eyes curled, but his brow furrowed as he remembered what the critics had said about the movie and her starring vase.

She does not position herself as a fleeting youth idol.

Charlize became a popular idol with a "scream" and then advertising contracts, and she fully experienced what it was like to become an overnight celebrity, which she couldn't have imagined when she first arrived in Los Angeles, and what happened later made her realize how lucky she was.

She has been in the more competitive modeling circle and ballet circle, she knows the importance of hard work, and she is not proud and confused because of her popularity.

Since last year, she has frequently participated in various auditions, wanting to get an ideal role. It was only then that she fully understood the importance of opportunity for actors.

Once she was called to her home by a producer late at night to study the script, the producer sat only in pajamas, originally she naively thought that the other party wanted to liven up the atmosphere, but only later did she find out that he had bad intentions, if it wasn't clever enough to run fast, God would know what would happen to the road.

Of course, the role that originally belonged to her fell to someone else.

Later, she met Keanu, who had worked hard in Hollywood for many years? Reeves. Thoroughly understand that this is the norm in the circle.

Think about auditioning for Scream. Thinking about the auditions he participated in later, Charlize had to sigh that he had been favored by Lady Luck.

The big hit of "Scream 2" made her a qualitative leap in terms of fame and income. At the same time, another problem is more prominently placed in front of us - how to transform.

There have been countless youth idols who have fallen in front of this threshold.

Charlize? Theron is not just a smart man. He is still a smart man with ambition, ability, and skill. It didn't take long for a breakthrough to be found.

He is just twenty-one years old, only less than five years older than him, and sibling love has never been a problem in Hollywood. What's more, the charm of the other party is unusually attractive to women.

With a six-foot height, a grim face, outstanding talent, a blank love history, billionaire status, and the ability to easily become a celebrity, can Hollywood find a man who is more attractive to women than him?

Of course, Charlize knows that the other party is definitely one of the smartest people in the United States, and if he wants to gain his favor, how can it be without giving his true feelings?

If you can catch him as a boyfriend, it will definitely be something that will wake up with a smile in a dream.

In fact, she has seen many Hollywood women who want to seek his personal contact information in every possible way, such as the Heidi who made a cameo? Krum, after the premiere, once asked Drew? Barrymore begged for it, but was rejected by the other party.

She was able to get his contact information, firstly, because she had known him early enough, and secondly, because she was in the same brokerage company.

Just in Charlize? Theron thought raced as a black Land Rover pulled up to the side of the road, and Ryan jumped out of the car, made a casual gesture to George, and walked to the villa.

Before he could enter the door, he saw Charlize waiting near the door? Theron, a South African diamond, wears dark cyan shapewear jeans, an open-collar checkered shirt, and her blonde hair is pulled back casually, at this time she has not completely transformed, and she still has a bit of the temperament of the girl next door.

"Hi, Ryan." She greeted her.

"Sorry, I'm a little late." Ryan handed over the red wine he was carrying, "A little gift." ”

"You're so polite."

Charlize? Theron took it and led Ryan towards the courtyard, and some alternative music came over.

"Is this the band you hired?" Ryan rarely hears of this style of rock.

"It's Keanu's band."

"Keanu? Keanu? Reeves? Ryan immediately remembered the movie star who was known for not doing his job, "Here he is, too?" ”

"Uh-huh~"

While talking, the two of them have already walked into the back garden, Charlize? Theron introduces Ryan, and there are not many guests, in addition to her agent, there are several unknown actors, in addition to Keanu? Reeves' Sirius Band.

"Hey, Keanu, I haven't seen you in a long time, and your level hasn't improved." Ryan was familiar with him.

"Hello, Ryan, of course we can't compare to you." Keanu? Reeves walked over with two companions, "This is Bright, guitarist and vocalist, and this is Robbie, drummer." ”

"Do you want to sing a song?" Wait for Ryan to say hello to the other two, Keanu? Reeves gestured to the makeshift stage.

"Forget it." Ryan shook his hand.

"Feel free, you're welcome."

Seeing that the scene is a little restrained, Charlize? Theron quickly called out to the others.

"Want something, Ryan?" She quickly walked back and gestured to the long table, "There were samosas and Cape Town-style seafood that I made myself." ”

"I'll do it myself."

Arriving at the table, Ryan picked a few random items and put them on his plate, and as soon as he found a small table to sit down, Charlize placed a glass of strawberry juice in front of him.

"Thank you, Charlie, you're so careful." Ryan narrowed his eyes slightly, and then he shouted to Reeves, who was playing bass on stage, "Hey. Keanu, why don't you come for a drink? ”

"Come on, Ryan, don't forget, you don't drink." Reeves waved his hand.

"Don't you need to greet a friend, Charlie?" Ryan looked at Charlize, who was sitting across from him, "You're welcome. ”

"It's okay, they're good to have Ron to greet them." Ron is her agent and Pie? A member of Kingsley's team.

"It's really good." Ryan munched on a few South African meals, "Charlie. What a surprise. Your craft is so good...... Well, it's comparable to Nicole. ”

"I used to do a lot, so I naturally practiced it." The melancholy on Charlize's face flashed.

Ryan doesn't mention it anymore, though he doesn't know her too well. But she also knew that her childhood was dark.

The two tacitly changed the topic. Talked about some interesting things in life. Naturally, it turned to the film side, especially the Scream series.

"I remember you signed a three-part contract, right?" Ryan poked the food on the plate with his fork.

"yes." Charlize shrugged his shoulders gracefully. "There will be another one in the future, as for when, it depends on the decision of you, the boss."

"You should be thinking about transformation." Ryan kindly reminded, "Youth campus films are easy to become popular, but they will limit the way of acting, you had better try more different roles, especially more mature roles." ”

"Ron is also looking for a role like that for me." Charlize just showed a hint of helplessness, "Think about what those film critics said about me, a beautiful and delicate vase." ”

"Why care about their words." Ryan drank all the strawberry juice, and Charlize immediately asked, "Do you still need it?" ”

"No need." Ryan waved his hand and continued the topic just now, "Nicole's acting skills have long been recognized, and those people haven't criticized her for being too beautiful every time, and in their eyes, they can't wait for every female character in the movie to become ugly." ”

Charlize laughed, she stared at Ryan's face for a while, and suddenly said, "Ryan, I've seen the trailer for "Cat and Mouse", and after the movie is released, they won't criticize you like that, right?" ”

"Actually, some people can't wait to say that Cat and Mouse is my face show." Ryan showed a disdainful expression and waved his hand in front of him like a fly, "Who cares about them, it's just a bunch of mosquitoes that suck blood around the film industry." ”

"I think your acting skills are excellent, judging by the trailer, not weaker than Tom in the slightest? Hanks. ”

"Because I'm more handsome than Tommy, they don't like it." After Ryan finished speaking, the two of them laughed at the same time.

"Do you know the truth, Charlie, this is a kind of discrimination, public opinion discrimination against handsome guys and beautiful women, in their opinion, beautiful and handsome actors, do not need and will not have excellent acting skills, I should gather handsome men and women in Hollywood and launch a counterattack against them." He was joking.

"You're funny." Charlize looked unusually happy.

"I'm just telling the truth." Ryan's words do reflect the film school's attitude towards actors to a certain extent.

"What are you talking about, so happy." Keanu? Reeves sat down next to Charlize with a plate.

"Movies and characters."

Charlize got up and brought a glass of strawberry juice and a glass of red wine.

A very attentive woman, this is Ryan's sense of her, and she is different from Nicole, after reining in the coldness, it will make people feel like a spring breeze.

Speaking of movies and characters, Ryan remembered another thing, this handsome guy's masterpiece, but he had already made it, although it was only a short story, but it firmly occupied the creativity.

"Keanu, are you interested in working together?"

Hear Ryan's words, Keanu? Reeves was a little surprised, "Cooperation? Of course, as long as you need! ”

Ryan? What Jenkins' invitation means, who in Hollywood doesn't know what to say now, and it would be a fool not to accept it.

"Well, the schedule for the end of next year and the beginning of '98 is left to me."

Ryan looked at Charlize again? Theron, he wasn't sure if Nicole would take that role, the person in front of him was a suitable substitute, and as for the one in his previous life, he had never considered it.

Is it to pull South African diamonds out of the dead end of youth idols? (To be continued......)
