Chapter 45: Self-confidence is the best weapon
One of the big differences between Min Congda and before the crossing is that he is very confident now, and the honey from the son of the system is confident.
In the past three months in the United States, Min Congda has found that if you want to mix here, self-confidence is very important.
The United States is a very brutal and highly competitive society, everyone has to sell themselves, and self-confidence is the best stepping stone.
From the moment he accepted the task of the system, Min Congda has always been full of confidence, daring to command a team without speaking English fluently, and acting recklessly in his unfamiliar field.
After all, when your mission is to destroy rather than create, it's hard not to be confident as someone who was once mediocre and didn't do everything very well.
It's the same thing, when you do everything possible to get a girl and want to hold hands with her, you will cringe, think about it, afraid that you are not handsome enough, not rich enough, afraid that the other party will not like you, worried about what to do after you get started, whether to get married, whether to have a child, what is the surname of the child, where the child goes to school, and what major will he study in the future......
When you think about all these things clearly, the girl has already been hooked up by other boys, and then you are unwilling to inquire, this boy is not as good as you, not as tall as you, not as handsome as you.
Why are girls willing to be nice to others? Because when you think about it and hesitate, others have already chased after you, and if you can't succeed, you will have a chance if you chase it.
Don't chase it, unless you are Wu Yanzu or Xiao Lizi, someone will take the initiative to post it, otherwise just stay there and fantasize slowly, read novels and movies and go to YY.
Min Congda has a profound lesson about this, although his conditions in the past were not good, but they were not bad enough to be disgusted with dogs, and he can still get true love by investing in a relationship.
It's a pity that it's not fate, not his background, not his appearance, but the countless hesitations in his heart that hinder him.
This time, Min Congda opened his mind, and when he saw his favorite person in the crowd, he didn't think much about it, he was not afraid of embarrassment or rejection, and walked towards the group of young people with an empty wine glass.
"I'm done drinking, can I have a glass with you?" If you don't mind. ”
Before these young people could agree, Min Congda cheekily squeezed into the booth and sat down.
The group of young people were very friendly, and although Min Congda's arrival was a bit abrupt, they accepted him and poured him a glass of whiskey.
Min Congda took a sip, he didn't like whiskey very much, he always felt that there was a smell of kerosene, and the taste was too smooth and greasy.
He prefers coarse spirits that give his brain a thrill.
However, the purpose of his coming here was not to drink, he observed that the place where he was sitting and the female Bodhisattva he fancied was only separated by a white young man with broken blond hair, could it be the male companion of the female Bodhisattva?
No, because although the two sit together, they are not intimate and keep a distance.
When Min Congda squeezed in, she also moved to the side and didn't want to touch the blonde hair, indicating that they were not lovers.
That's easy, Min Congda endured the smell of whiskey kerosene and drank it all, "Great wine, but I still prefer rum or tequila, open a bottle, count it mine." ”
So he asked for a bottle of rum, Min Congda poured another glass, he didn't twist and vague, he directly raised his glass to his favorite girl, and said: "To the brightest star in the bar tonight, you lit up the dark night sky of Los Angeles and guided me here." ”
People are confident that they are beginning to be able to make words, and in the past few months, when the general manager has come down, Min Congda has really spoken in a set.
Even if the girl is not interested in Min Congda, who can refuse such a direct compliment?
The girl raised the glass in front of her, poured some gin, and said, "I don't drink very well, drink a little, thank you for the compliment." ”
The girl behaved decently, reserved and with a hint of refreshment, clinked glasses with Min Congda, and drank the wine.
At this time, looking at this girl up close, Min Congda realized that he had underestimated her beauty just now, he thought that the other party was very beautiful, so he would come over, but he didn't expect to be so beautiful.
"I couldn't see it clearly in the dark just now, I didn't expect it to be so beautiful up close, wow, if I knew it was so beautiful, I might not dare to come over and talk to me."
Compared to her, the women she met in the ONLY bar were all vulgar fans, and the small flame of confidence that Min Congda had accumulated was almost extinguished by this amazing beauty.
He immediately poured a gulp into his mouth, and Rum's fierce taste made his self-confidence burn again, and he asked, "I am amazed by your beauty, what kind of group of friends can be friends with you?" Can you tell us about it? ”
The girl nodded and introduced this group of young people, I didn't expect them to work in the crew, but it's normal to think about it, this is Los Angeles, and there are a lot of people who live on the film and television drama industry chain to eat.
"We just finished making the movie, Percy Jackson and the Thief of Fire, based on the best-selling novel. We started shooting in New York, and went to Vancouver, Canada, the Las Vegas Strip, and went to the District of Columbia to shoot on location. The final work was done in San Francisco, and our shooting mission was over, so let's come to Los Angeles to relax. ”
"This is Ola, she's a makeup artist. This is Daisy, and she's in charge of the field work. This is Jimmy Williams, who did the live closing, and this is Jack Abel, who is one of the stars of the show, plays Luke ......"
The handsome boy with broken blond hair sitting next to the girl turned out to be an actor in this drama, and Min Congda hurriedly asked: "Then needless to say, you must be the heroine of this drama, this film will definitely be a big hit!" Because the actress is you, I will rush you, I will also buy tickets to watch this movie, and the director and producer can really have a vision and choose a box office guarantee. ”
After saying that, Min Congda himself couldn't believe that this was what he said, it was really too flattering and fake.
The girl had a bright smile on her face, and sure enough, women need to praise brainlessly, no matter what the content is, the praise is over.
"I'm not a box office guarantee." She finally introduced herself: "My name is Alexandra Anna Daddario, and I play Annabeth, but I don't know if I play it well or not, and the box office after the release will be ...... I hope I don't lose money so I can continue acting. ”
After saying that, everyone laughed, "Percy Jackson" is a famous American fantasy best-selling novel, which is quite influential among teenagers in the United States.
20th Century Fox Films, which bought the rights, shot the first film in the IP series this year, hoping to make it a film series comparable to "Harry Potter".
This film is looking for some well-known, but not very popular young actors, just like the amateur actors of Harry Potter at the beginning, if the movie can become popular, these actors will also become popular.
However, whether it is the influence of IP works, or the investment and intensity of film production, "Percy Jackson" is a big step behind "Harry Potter".
Min Congda didn't know much about this, and his mind was on Daddario.
"Big Leo, a good name, really good with people."
The gray tight-fitting shorts framed D'Addario's figure perfectly, and she felt like she was about to come out when she looked up and drank.
"By the way, you haven't said what you do? Are you a chef in Chinatown? Daddario asked Min Congda.
Daddario began to joke with Min Congda, indicating that he had a good impression of him.
Min Congda said: "I'm not a chef in Chinatown, I'm a chef in Stamps. I don't know how to cook, but I build a team and play. ”
Of course, I'm a terrible team cook, Min Congda silently added in his heart.
Jack Abel, with his blond hair, exclaimed, "Oh! You're that Smart! General Manager of the Clippers! ”
Min Congda smiled slightly, that's right, it's down.
"You're Smart?" Daddario was also a little surprised, because in Los Angeles, the name has appeared quite frequently, even a little bit, in Los Angeles.
"Of course it's me, if I have the opportunity to go to Stamps to watch the game, I'll leave you the best ticket." Min Congda will not let go of such a good opportunity to be courteous.
Daddario's eyes flickered a little, and he said, "But I heard that you may be the worst general manager in NBA history......"
Daddario is fast-talking, and everyone thinks it will poke Min Congda's pain points and make the atmosphere awkward.
Unexpectedly, Min Congda was happy and said: "Why do you say that it is possible, I am the worst general manager in the history of the NBA, and it is my biggest ideal to make a team disappear!" ”
Just when everyone didn't know whether Min Congda was open-minded or joking, there was a sudden commotion in the bar, followed by screams and fights, and a corner of the bar was in chaos, and someone scuffled together!
"Smack!" The wine bottle smashed on the ground and shattered with a crisp sound, and the originally noisy but orderly nightclub was immediately in chaos.
Min Congda and others sat in a corner that was not affected.
"There's a fight, look at the excitement, look at the excitement!"
Min Congda picked up his wine glass and got up to watch the excitement, and at the same time looked for Randolph and Davis with his eyes.
After looking for a while, he found that they were fighting! Fight against a few big men who are also big!
"Damn, I'm still watching the excitement, I'm going to become lively!"
"Don't fight!"
