Chapter 222 South African Diamonds
"Have you not come yet, Charlie?" Keanu Reeves asked, walking towards the back garden.
"Don't be anxious, Keanu." Charlize Theron looked at his watch, "I guess it's going to be a while. Ryan has classes in the afternoon, so it takes time to come from downtown Los Angeles."
This is a villa in Santa Monica, a newly purchased residence by Charlize Theron, who has sent an invitation to host the celebration party since Ryan returned to Los Angeles from Rosario.
First, she moved to a new home, and second, she starred in "Scream 2" and became a popular figure in the film market in October.
Thinking of the box office of the movie that exceeded 70 million dollars in just three weeks, Charlize Theron's eyes bent, but he also remembered the critics' comments on the movie and her starring vase, and his brows frowned.
Her positioning for herself is not a fleeting youth idol.
Charlize became a popular idol with a movie "Scream", and subsequent advertising contracts followed one after another. She fully realized the feeling of becoming famous overnight. These things she could not imagine when she first arrived in Los Angeles, and her later experience 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 is not proud or confused because of her popularity. After becoming famous, she has a broader vision and sees higher goals. She lowers her figure without hesitation and goes to the performing arts school to study in order to make breakthroughs in acting skills.
Since last year, she has been frequently auditions and wants to get an ideal role. It was not until then that she fully understood that the opportunity is an important surname for the actor.
Once she was called home late at night by a producer to study the script. The producer sat in only his pajamas. She originally thought that the other party wanted to liven up the atmosphere, but in the end she realized that his intentions were wrong. If he hadn't been smart enough and fast enough, God would know what would happen.
Of course, the character that originally belonged to her fell on others by accident.
Later, she met Keanu Reeves, who had worked hard in Hollywood for many years, and completely understood that this was the norm in the circle.
Thinking about the audition when he participated in "Screaming Screaming" and the auditions he participated in later, Charlize had to sigh that he had received favor from the goddess of luck.
The big sale of "Scream 2" has made her have a qualitative leap in terms of reputation and income, and another problem is more prominent in front of her - how to transform.
There were countless young idols who had fallen in front of this threshold.
Charlize Theron was not only a smart person, but also an ambitious, capable and skilled person. He quickly found a breakthrough.
I am just twenty-one years old, and I am less than five years older than him. A sibling relationship has never been a problem in Hollywood, not to mention that the other party’s charm is extremely attractive to women.
With a six-foot height, a cold face, outstanding talent, a blank love history, a billionaire identity, and the ability to easily make people famous, can Hollywood find a man who is more attractive to women than him?
Of course, Charlize knew that the other party was definitely one of the smartest people in the United States. How could it be possible if he wanted to gain his favor and not give his true feelings?
If you can catch him as your boyfriend, it will definitely be something that will wake up from a dream.
In fact, she has seen many Hollywood women who tried every means to seek his personal contact information, such as Heidi Crum, who was the guest star, asked Drew Barrymore for his request after the premiere, but was rejected by the other party.
She was able to get his contact information, because she met him early enough, and the other was in the same agency.
Just as Charlize Theron made a sudden change of thought, a black Land Rover stopped by the roadside. Ryan jumped out of the car, made a casual gesture to George, and walked towards the villa.
Before entering the door, he saw Charlize Theron waiting near the door. South African American was wearing dark blue jeans, an open-collared plaid shirt, and her blonde hair was casually tied behind her head. At this time, she had not completely transformed, and she still had a little bit of the temperament of a girl next door.
"Hi, Ryan." She came up.
"Sorry, it's a little late." Ryan handed over the red wine he was carrying, "a little gift."
"You're so kind."
Charlize Theron took it and walked into the courtyard with Ryan. Some alternative music came over.
"Is this the band you hired?" Ryan rarely hears this style of rock.
“It’s Keanu’s band.”
"Keanu Keanu Reeves?" Ryan immediately remembered the movie star who is famous for his lack of business, "He is here too?"
"Hmm~"
While talking, the two had already walked into the back garden. Charlize Theron introduced Ryan. There were not many guests. In addition to her agent, there were also several unknown actors, and Keanu Reeves' Sirius band.
"Hi, Keanu, I haven't seen you for a long time, your level has not improved." Ryan was also familiar with him.
"Hello, Ryan, of course we can't compete with you." Keanu Reeves pulled two companions over, "This is Bright, guitarist and lead singer, this is Robbie, drummer."
"Do you want to sing a song?" After Ryan finished greeting the other two, Keanu Reeves pointed to the temporary small stage.
"Forget it." Ryan shook his hand.
"Everyone, don't be polite."
Seeing that the scene was a little restrained, Charlize Theron quickly called out the others.
"I want something to eat, Ryan?" She quickly walked back and pointed to the food on the long table. "There are samosas and Cape Town seafood I made myself."
"I'll do it myself."
When he arrived at the dining table, Ryan picked a few randomly and put them on his plate. 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 fiddling with bass on the stage, "Hey, Keanu, can you just have a drink?"
"Come on, Ryan, don't forget, you don't drink." Reeves waved his hand.
"Don't you need to greet friends, Charlie?" Ryan looked at Charlize, who was sitting opposite him, "We're welcome."
"It's okay, they'll just have Ron greetings." Ron is her agent and a member of Pie Kinsley's team.
"It's really good." Ryan stuttered a few South African-style meals. "Charlie, it's really surprising that your skills are so outstanding... Well, you can compare with Nicole."
"I did more in the past, so I naturally practiced it." The melancholy on Charlize's face flashed.
Ryan no longer mentioned this. Although he didn't know her very well, he also knew that her childhood was dark.
The two of them changed the topic tacitly and talked about some interesting things in life, and naturally turned to the movies, especially the "Scream" series.
"I remember you signed three contracts, right?" Ryan poked the food on the plate with a fork.
"Yes." Charlize shrugged his shoulders gracefully, "I will star in another movie in the future. As for when, it depends on your boss' decision."
"You should consider transforming." Ryan kindly reminded, "Youth campus films are easy to make famous, but they will limit their acting skills. You'd better try more different roles, especially more mature characters."
"Ron is also looking for such a character for me." Charlize showed a hint of helplessness just right, "Think about the critics' comments on me, a beautiful and exquisite vase."
"Why care about their words?" Ryan drank 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. Those people criticized her for being too beautiful. In their eyes, they wish that every female character in the movie would become ugly."
Charlize laughed, she stared at Ryan's face for a while, and suddenly said, "Ryan, I've watched the trailer for "Cat and Mouse Game". After the movie is released, they won't criticize you like this, right?"
"In fact, some people can't wait to say that "Cat and Mouse Game" is my face-selling show." Ryan showed a disdainful expression and waved his hand in front of him like chasing a fly. "Who cares about them, just a group of mosquitoes sucking blood around the film industry."
"I think your acting skills are excellent. Judging from the trailer, it is not inferior to Tom Hanks at all."
"Because I'm more handsome than Tommy, they can't stand it." After Ryan said, the two of them laughed at the same time.
"Did you know, Charlie, this is a kind of discrimination, ** discrimination against handsome guys and beautiful women. In their opinion, beautiful and handsome actors do not need or have excellent acting skills. I should summon handsome men and beautiful women from Hollywood to fight back on them." He was just joking.
"You're so funny." Charlize seemed extremely happy.
"I'm just telling the truth." Ryan's words did reflect to a certain extent the film school's attitude towards actors.
"What are you talking about? You're so happy." Keanu Reeves sat 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 careful woman, this is Ryan's sense of her, and she is different from Nicole. After restraining her coldness, she will make people feel like spring breeze.
Speaking of movies and characters, Ryan remembered another thing. He had already made this handsome guy's masterpiece. Although it was just a short and medium-length novel, it firmly occupied the creativity.
"Keanu, are you interested in cooperating?"
Hearing Ryan's words, Keanu Reeves was a little surprised, "Cooperate? Of course, as long as you need it!"
What does Ryan Jenkins’ invitation mean? Who doesn’t know about Hollywood now? It’s a fool if you don’t accept it.
"Okay, leave it to me at the end of next year and early 1998."
Ryan looked at Charlize Theron again. He was not sure whether Nicole would take on that role. The person in front of him was a very suitable substitute. As for the person in his previous life, he had never considered it.
By the way, should I pull South African American Diamond out of the dead end of youth idols? (To be continued.)
