Chapter 493: Her Ambition
"It's bad luck, if it weren't for the Gwyneth Paltrow bug......"
In the villa in Beverly Hills, after another round of "exchanges", Charlize complained to Charlotte.
Charlotte had already returned to North America the other day.
- Although he was not nominated for the Oscars this year, as the director of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone", the box office champion of the year in North America last year, he still received an Oscar invitation.
- Of course, it's just the kind that goes to make soy sauce.
However, now that the production of "The Mummy" has been completed and "Sherlock Holmes" has not yet begun, Charlotte is relatively idle for a while, so it is okay to simply go to the awards ceremony to see it.
As for living with Charlize as soon as he came back, not to mention Charlize's life assistant Sophia, even the media reporters who followed the two of them would have been surprised for a long time.
- After all, the relationship between the two has been exposed for more than two years.
If it weren't for the fact that the reporters couldn't take particularly intimate photos of the two, the news that the two lived together wouldn't even be news.
Therefore, in the small villa where Charlize lives, Charlotte is not used to living in it.
After all, at the end of the day, the ownership of this villa still belongs to him.
What's more, the Irish leprechaun who manages this villa behind him can also be regarded as Charlotte's subordinate.
Although Charlotte usually asks him to follow Charlize's orders, Charlotte has assigned him a lot of time.
So Charlotte does have a lot of comfort here in Charlize.
In particular, Charlize's life assistant Sophia White moved out neatly after Charlotte's move-in.
- There's no way around it.
After all, it is still embarrassing to wake up in the morning and see her employer and her boyfriend walking out of the bathroom hand in hand, with only a bath towel wrapped around them.
In fact, Sophia has always been very strange, with Charlize and Charlotte playing like crazy, why has she never been photographed by media reporters?
Or is it a necessary quality for an actress to immediately switch to a different state in a place where you may encounter a flash?
If you say that, it's normal for Sophia to feel that she can't be a star.
"Anyway, without my interruption, those two people should have had a good time these days, right?"
Sophia pondered to herself.
It should be said that Sophia guessed correctly, Charlotte and Charlize are indeed very self-indulgent when they get along in private.
Perhaps because of Xiao Biesheng's newlywed, the undisturbed two left traces of "communication" in many places in the villa.
And because of the need to avoid being secretly photographed by the paparazzi, the windows are closed, and the air in the house is not very circulating, the whole villa is filled with a faint smell of heather.
This made Charlize a little embarrassed, but also a little more relaxed.
However, this relaxation also made the girl complain more.
- Mainly for the Oscars, as mentioned earlier.
"I should be on par with Cate Blanchett, Meryl Streep is senior, and that Emily Watson is really good, but—"
"Gwyneth Paltrow, huh?"
Charlotte took the girl in her arms and spoke out the source of her dissatisfaction.
"yes!"
Charlize nodded,
"This guy is really ......"
The girl didn't seem to know what words to use to describe it, and Charlotte could understand that.
After all, in the world before he crossed over, Gwyneth Paltrow's name as the "Queen of Water" resounded throughout the world.
Everyone says that her actress is the most watery one in the Oscars for more than 20 years. It can be said that the Oscar statuette she won because of "Shakespeare in Love" is completely the result of public relations.
Among them, there is both the manipulation of the Weinstein brothers and the support of the Paltrow family.
And it is indeed a very disgusting thing to encounter such a cheating opponent.
Charlotte had no choice but to comfort Charlize and said,
"Actually, even if Gwyneth Paltrow has a strong network, it just pulls her to the same level as the other four of you - at the end of the day, she doesn't have an absolute advantage. ”
Speaking of which, Charlotte shrugged,
After all, the results of the performance are there - her acting skills can be said to be the worst among the five nominated this time. ”
"It's just relative. ”
Charlize frowned,
"However, she has an advantage that none of us can match. ”
"She's American?"
"Yes. ”
Charlize nodded,
"Of the five nominees this year, three of them, including me, are not Americans, and Meryl Streep has already won the award before......"
"It does give Gwyneth Paltrow a lot of off-the-market advantage. ”
Charlotte agrees.
After all, territorial protection exists everywhere.
What's more, among the judges of the Oscars, there are indeed Americans, and the subconscious choice will also give Gwyneth Paltrow a certain advantage.
Charlotte couldn't deny it, but on the other hand, he didn't think Gwyneth Paltrow had won.
- If the other party's acting skills are higher, at least basically the same as the other four, it will indeed give her an advantage.
But now her acting skills are worse, and that's someone else's chance.
"Actually, Sally, compared to this year's complete lack of advantage, you will rely on "The Deviless" to hit the Oscars in the next edition, I hope it will be greater, right?"
Charlotte asked.
"That's right!"
Charlize nodded,
"I do have more faith in that movie, but ......"
"But what!?"
“...... That movie is going to be ugly and fattening. ”
Charlize whispered.
"Don't you want to?"
Charlotte asked.
"Not my problem......"
Charlize glanced at Charlotte, and finally gritted his teeth and said,
"It's you—do you like to see me fat and ugly?"
「......」
To this question, if it is in the spirit of male instinct, Charlotte will naturally answer "no".
However, on the one hand, he does have feelings for Charlize and has passed the stage of only looking at faces;
On the other hand, he is not an emotional idiot with negative EQ -
Charlotte hurried with a burst of comfort, trying to convince Charlize that she had a crush on the girl's heart.
This made the girl a lot happier.
However, she finally agreed with Charlotte not to meet Charlotte during the filming of "The Witch Devil".
"I don't want you to see my ugly side!"
Charlotte didn't know what to say to Charlize's request.
Although the most romantic thing in the world is to grow old with her beloved, Charlize doesn't want to let herself see her bad side, and Charlotte is not incomprehensible.
It's just that through this, Charlotte realized that the girl may still have a strong sense of insecurity about her feelings deep down.
That's why she does this kind of thing, which is actually covering her ears and stealing the bell.
But how can she solve this problem in her heart?
