Chapter 256: My Best Friend's Wedding
No matter how jealous Charlotte was of Keanu Reeves in his heart, he finally saw this wind-like man.
At Johnny Depp's engagement with Winona Ryder.
Although Depp successfully proposed when he was in London, it still seemed informal without an engagement ceremony.
This is not only an inevitable need for the identity and status of the two, but also a requirement for the crew of "Guillotine Valley" and Paramount.
After all, it had been planned before, and after the box office curve of "Guillotine Valley" slipped to a certain extent, it was necessary to use the engagement ceremony to support the box office again.
Now, the North American box office of "Guillotine Valley" has exceeded $190 million, but the single-theater box office has also dropped to a considerable extent.
It's time!
In particular, at this time, Paramount is promoting "Guillotine Valley" in overseas markets, and some markets in Europe, Latin America, and Asia have released this film one after another, and now holding an engagement ceremony can also help promote those markets......
In short, under various needs, Depp and Winona's engagement ceremony began.
The location was a new villa that the duo had purchased in Santa Monica.
Because of the covert sponsorship of Paramount, the ceremony was grand.
Both men and women invited a lot of relatives and friends to participate.
And Keanu Reeves, who was a member of the "Death Trio" with Depp and Ruifan, will naturally be present.
It should be said that Keanu Reeves, who is at the peak of his appearance, is really handsome, even Charlotte, it is difficult to have any bad feelings when facing such a face.
They didn't have much to do with each other.
After all, this is Depp's engagement after all.
"In a blink of an eye, Johnny is already engaged, and Keanu and I have discussed who should be the best man when he gets married!"
Standing beside Charlotte, Ruivan, who existed in a ghost state, sighed.
"Rivan, are you regretting that you can't give Depp your blessing?"
Charlize, who was holding Charlotte's arm, also heard the headless horseman's sigh in her mind, and she looked at Rivan and couldn't help but feel some sympathy.
"Don't sympathize with me. ”
Raven noticed the girl's gaze,
"Despite the nightmare's influence, at the end of the day, I was to blame for my death. Besides, I'm doing well now—"
As he spoke, he deliberately grimaced, and took off his head and threw it into the air.
"Look, I can take off my hat and cheer like this!"
“......”
Charlize was indeed speechless about the Headless Horseman's actions.
Rather, she was directly startled and almost screamed.
Fortunately, the girl followed Charlotte and saw a lot of ghosts before she could stay calm.
But even so, her hand holding Charlotte's arm still subconsciously tightened, which made Mr. Director feel a pain in his flesh.
"Rivan, I have a way for you to give Depp his blessing to your face. ”
Charlotte, who couldn't stand it, interjected.
"Really?"
Rui Fan immediately lost his composure.
"Of course. ”
Charlotte looked at the Headless Horsemann amusedly,
"It's only for a moment...... though"
Johnny Depp now feels that the movie "Guillotine Valley" is simply his lucky star.
Because of this film, which has now locked in the 1995 North American box office champion, Depp's box office appeal as a Hollywood movie star has been greatly enhanced.
Although Depp feels that the box office fire is more due to the fact that the publicity strategy is in place and the quality of the movie itself is excellent, he will not give up the benefits because of this.
After all, in Hollywood, who doesn't want their coffee position to be a little higher and pay a little more?
What's more, this is not the biggest benefit that Depp has gotten.
He glanced at Winona, who was standing beside him in a white gown, listening to the priest's marriage exhortation with him—
That's his biggest takeaway!
——Promoted to the first-line coffee position and married Winona, Depp feels that he is heading towards the peak of his life.
"It's a pity, Ruifan ......"
At the beginning, he also agreed with Ruifan and Keanu that if he married Winona, it must be divided into two ceremonies: engagement and marriage-
In this way, one of Ruifan and Keanu can serve as the man's representative, and the other as the best man, and each get a ring for him.
It's a pity, Rivan......
Fortunately, Keanu is still with him and can get an engagement ring for himself.
Maybe it's the recent fantastic development of life that makes Depp a little uncomfortable, and at the engagement ceremony, he can't help but think about it.
Fortunately, he did not miss the pastor's marriage exhortation because of this-
“...... All around us, the Lord will extend a helping hand to us, and the hand of Jesus Christ is everywhere. ”
"Most importantly, we are now witnessing the union of this new couple together, Amen!"
After speaking, the pastor skillfully took a step back and said simply,
"You can exchange engagement rings. ”
Depp and Winona each stepped forward and came to the center of the stage. Keanu Reeves, who was originally standing not far from Depp's side, hurriedly followed, wanting to hand over the engagement ring box in his hand to Depp.
The next moment, they were both stunned-
Riven Phoenix was grinning in front of them, as if it were yesterday.
"Congratulations, Johnny!"
"Raven !?"
Both Depp and Keanu Reeves cried out in surprise.
"Indeed I am. ”
Rivan Phoenix waved his hand, signaling the two not to get too excited,
"Even though I'm no longer alive, I still think it's time to congratulate Johnny. By the way, I'm sorry I can't get the ring for you!"
"It's good that you're here!"
Depp's voice was even a little choked, and Keanu Reeves's eyes on the side were red.
- Neither of them doubted that the ghost of their good brother would be against them.
"Rivan, can you stay in the future?"
Depp asked.
"This ......"
For a moment, Raven Phoenix wanted to answer, "Actually, I've always been by your side", but remembering Charlotte's previous advice, he still shook his head,
"How can the dead remain in the world of the living forever?"
"That's—"
"I'm leaving soon!"
Rivan interrupted Depp and Keanu Reeves, who wanted to speak,
"Keanu, be nice to yourself in the future! Johnny, be nice to Winona!"
After saying that, his figure disappeared like a beautiful soap bubble that suddenly burst in the afternoon sun.
"Rivan!"
Depp subconsciously wanted to reach out and grab it, but he was suddenly stunned-
Keanu Reeves was standing right in front of him, holding the box containing the engagement ring in his hand.
There was also a hint of consternation on his face, as if he had seen the same situation as Depp.
But apart from the two of them, there was no exclamation from the end of the engagement, as if the Riven Phoenix who appeared just now was just a hallucination of the two of them.
In particular, the pastor's words, "You can exchange engagement rings," seemed to be ringing in my ears—
"Was it really a hallucination?"
Depp was a little confused.
He looked at Keanu Reeves in front of him, and the other party was also confused.
However, it is obviously not a good choice to be in a daze at this time.
Depp didn't have time to think more, so he took the ring box from Keanu's hand and turned to face Winona, who was waiting......
"That's great!"
Looking at Depp and Winona, who kissed each other passionately after exchanging engagement rings, Rivan's face showed a relieved smile.
Of course, the only people present who could see Rivan were Charlotte and Charlize, who was temporarily opened by Charlotte.
At this time, Charlotte was explaining what he had just done-
"To put it simply, just like the last time I filmed the last scenes of "Guillotine Valley", when time suddenly stopped, I just made Depp and Keanu Reeves have a very brief dream at that moment. ”
"Dreaming?"
Rivan had heard Charlotte say that term before.
"Yes. ”
Charlotte nodded,
"Although they will definitely be suspicious later, as long as you don't show up, they won't be able to find you. In contrast—"
Charlotte frowned and glanced at Keanu Reeves in the distance,
"His situation is the real trouble!"
