Chapter 501: I Really Didn't Expect It
It's not that Sean hasn't thought about meeting the woman in front of him on some occasions, but it definitely won't be now, it's like seeing a pure white fox in the hot desert.
Well, that's not all that accurate, but she's beautiful—not that pretty, at least a little worse than Scarlett. However, she is very attractive, especially that kind of intellectual temperament, which is enough to fascinate a man like Sean.
So, after turning his head, he froze for at least a few seconds.
A gray thin-shouldered dress with embellishments, brown hair hanging down in waves, the corners of her mouth slightly curled up with a smile, and the small moles on her cheeks made her a little more delicate, coupled with the feeling of being calm as water, people can't take their eyes off it at a glance.
"You look like you've seen a ghost." Natalie? Portman narrowed his eyes slightly and said in a teasing tone.
Sean immediately rubbed his eyes cooperatively, and then said as if talking to himself: "Hell, it seems that I didn't have a good rest last night, and now I'm hallucinating...... Or did they hit me too hard? ”
"Psychologically, as a playboy, and a well-known playboy, no matter how many times he is rejected by a woman, he will not be depressed and depressed." Natalie said in a leisurely tone, "So, you must have not had a good night's rest last night. ”
"Okay, Gao Xuesheng, thank you for your diagnosis, I will definitely have a good rest tonight." Sean raised his hand in surrender, "But, frankly, I really didn't expect to meet you here again, Natalie. ”
"Why, women can't come to the premiere of an American football movie?" Natalie said with an eyebrow raised.
"Of course not," Sean quickly distinguished, "I'm just curious, just curious." ”
"I came here at Scarlett's invitation." Natalie didn't hide it.
"Scarlett's invitation?" Sean blinked, looking very surprised.
"Of course," Natalie shrugged, "I'm friends with her, and don't forget, we're both New Yorkers." She is a very good girl, I didn't talk about it when I didn't know each other before, but now that we have an intersection, it is naturally easy to become close, and we even discussed whether to find a chance to star in a movie together. ”
Speaking of this, she suddenly laughed: "I must thank her tonight for letting me see a wonderful performance, and let me think about what the title of the play should be...... What do you think of Playboy's huge setback? ”
"Okay, you can just make fun of it," Sean spread his hands helplessly, and then looked at her with a look of alarm, "Huge setback? Did you notice me before that? ”
"It's hard not to notice you." Natalie also spread her hands, "After all, a playboy, or a famous playboy, it's really rare to talk to each other everywhere but hit a wall one after another." ”
Sean couldn't help but "ha" in his heart, if he really wanted to say it, Katie's side did hit a wall, she deliberately put him together, but Scarlett's side was deliberate. It's very simple, Scarlett should be playing something, this feeling is very familiar to Sean, and it is not much different from when he was on the set of "Deadly Magic" before, so, remember? You can't follow the other person's rhythm.
"It's an honor to have you so concerned." Sean said in an exaggerated tone.
"As a well-known figure in Hollywood, a lot of people will pay attention to you." Natalie smiled faintly.
"More famous than Queen Amidala?" Sean immediately raised his eyebrows.
"Perhaps, at least in the minds of many women." Natalie shrugged.
Sean thinks it's really wonderful now, you know, although after he was nominated for an Oscar again for his outstanding performance in "The Aviator", Natalie's attitude towards him is not so cold, and he can say a few words, but the relationship between them is generally smooth and relatively average. Now that she'd been talking to herself for so long—though only for five or six minutes—Sean was naturally happy, and he liked to talk to Natalie, or rather...... He liked her.
Of course, of course, he also knows that there is some ...... in this liking Kindness...... The Elements That Can't Be Obtained – After Zoe's affair, Sean has some good knowledge of the situation. After all, Natalie is the most difficult girl he has ever met, no matter how he accostes him, it doesn't have much effect, basically he doesn't get in, if it weren't for her outstanding performance in "Cold Mountain", and she was also mentioned, plus two Oscar nominations with the title of the best actor in the post-80s, it is almost impossible to chat with her like now.
"Okay, the movie is about to start, I'll go in first." After a few more conversations, Natalie, who noticed that the traffic in the front hall was decreasing, said this, and left before Sean could answer.
"Wait...... Wait a minute! Sean involuntarily called out, "Can I treat you to a drink after the movie is over?" ”
Natalie looked at him for a moment, then raised her finger: "Rule one, don't drink in an inappropriate place, and even if you have to, you should drink as little as possible; Rule two, don't have too much friendship with the playboy, let alone agree to his date. ”
"What kind of rule is this?" Sean muttered sullenly.
"Rules are rules, Sean." Natalie smiled and turned to walk towards the screening room.
"Rules are all meant to be broken," Sean, who was still not giving up, chased after him, "Don't tell me, you who filmed "This Killer Is Not Too Cold", you who went to Harvard to study psychology are a girl who follows the rules, Natalie." ”
"Okay, then you can think that I was afraid of being discovered by reporters, so I rejected you." Natalie said without looking back, not stopping for a moment on her feet.
"We can find a way to keep them from seeing, and journalists are not omnipotent." Sean was in hot pursuit.
"And what are you going to do, Sean?" Natalie sighed, "Go now?" While their attention is on the movie? ”
"No problem!" Sean agreed in one gulp, what Wahlberg's starring role, what Scarlett's plan, and even the lesson Katie were left behind at the moment.
"I know a small bar in Langdao, the environment is good, the location is secluded, and it is very elegant, not many reporters can find it." He said quickly, seeing that there was still a different color in Natalie's eyes, and immediately added urgently: "You agreed, Natalie, you don't want to be a person who doesn't believe in your word." ”
Well, when there is an opportunity, Sean can't care so much, so Natalie laughed, looking like she was laughed at, but her eyes were not much displeasure or dissatisfaction, but full of interest.
After crossing her arms and looking at Sean with interest, she gave the answer he was expecting, "Okay." ”
Sean was happy that night, and after the movie started, he and Natalie sneaked out of the house and drove to a bar in West Hollywood together, and the two of them had a very pleasant chat.
They are all smart people, they have a very wide range of readings, and there is naturally no shortage of topics to talk about, novels, movies, music, and performances, and there is basically no cold time. Of course, Sean has also tried to guide the topic in some ways covertly, but every time there is a sign of it, it will be cut off by Natalie without leaving a trace.
I have to say that the top students of Harvard's psychology department - who also went to Israel for further studies - are indeed very powerful. So, after two or three attempts to no avail, Sean gave up this plan, and it was easy to ask her out, but he didn't want to leave a bad impression.
Then, chatting and chatting, we talked about the problems that Sean is currently encountering: "A lot of things haven't gone well for me recently, such as how easy it is to read a script, and the other party also promised to give me a chance to try, but more than half a month has passed, but there is no news at all, so that I don't know how to reply to several invitations." ”
Although he was whining, he didn't reveal the specifics, but Natalie didn't care.
"Then be patient." "A lot of things require patience, don't they?" she said. You seem to be going too well, and although this is luck, if it goes too well, it will be difficult to deal with the big setbacks. ”
"What do you think?" Sean raised his eyebrows, as if to say, haven't you seen my hard work?
"That's a lot of people's opinions." Natalie answers slyly and laughs slyly, which makes her seem cute.
"Alright, that's all for today, thank you for your hospitality." She looked at the time and said.
"Wait, psychologist, I still need your advice." Sean immediately said, wanting to keep her for a while.
"It's a very remaining, I'm off work, I'll tell you the bill." Natalie smiled and stood up.
"Then I'll send you back." Seeing that she insisted on leaving, Sean had no choice but to settle for the next best.
"No, I have my own car, and I only have a little bit of alcohol, just drive a little slower." Natalie shook her head and pointed to the cup on the table, rejecting his offer.
Well, although they asked for a drink after they came over together, Sean drank at least three glasses, while Natalie only had half a glass at most. Although he did not study psychology, it can be seen from here that she is indeed very self-disciplined in some aspects.
"Then I'll send you out." Sean said the last.
After checking out, the two walked out slowly, without saying anything, and came to Natalie's car so quietly, a very small Ford, I can't see any model, it looks very ordinary, it belongs to the kind that will not be noticed if it is thrown into the pile, but it complements the low-key she usually shows.
"Good night." Natalie, who got into the car, poked her head out and said.
"Good night." Sean, who wanted to say something, finally just replied like this.
But Natalie didn't start the car right away, but looked at him for a while before saying, "Be patient, Sean, maybe the other party will call tomorrow and say not necessarily." ”
Hearing this, Sean's eyes flashed with a hint of difference, and he quickly laughed: "Xie Lu Xie, Natalie." ”
Then, after watching her car leave the parking lot, he let out a sigh and turned to walk towards his car, looking relaxed and brisk. Even, when he walked to the front and back of the car, he jumped up and knocked on his heel.
Then, the next day, Anderson called.
