Derek Croft was born in 1974, two years older than Yang Jian. He entered social work early and was well-informed. However, when he got excited after meeting his idol, he became a little awkward when speaking.
He wanted to slap himself twice, feeling that his gay behavior just now would leave a bad impression on others.
The atmosphere was a little awkward. Drake wanted to remedy the situation and asked, "Are you going to train when you leave so early?"
"The team has free time today. It's my first time in Los Angeles and I want to go out for a walk." Yang Jian replied.
"Then do you need a tour guide? I can be your tour guide." Drake quickly recommended himself. "Actually, I am from Seattle and came to Los Angeles to work. I am already very familiar with this place."
"Don't you have to work today?" Yang Jian felt that having a tour guide was indeed better than wandering around on her own, and she didn't think the fans would harm her.
"I work in the entertainment industry. I'm on vacation recently and I won't have a new job until next week." Drake suggested, "Do you want to have breakfast? I know a restaurant that serves delicious Chinese food. I can treat you to a meal."
"You work as a tour guide for me, how can I have the nerve to ask you to treat me? I'll treat you." Yang Jian didn't remember a celebrity named Drake in his previous life, so he probably wasn't a very well-off man, so he couldn't be a rich man.
The two of them didn't take a car, so they walked along the street for a while and arrived at a breakfast shop. The sign at the door said it offered Chinese food, but the name of the shop was a bit strange. It looked like it was opened by an American. Yang Jian didn't understand the meaning of the name of the shop, "What?"
era.
The two of them found a quiet seat by the window and sat down. Immediately, a beautiful blonde waiter in restaurant work clothes came over. Yang Jian and her looked at each other and were stunned.
The waitress recognized Yang Jian as this year's hottest NBA star.
There is a TV in the restaurant. The Los Angeles TV station previously broadcast the Lakers vs. SuperSonics game live. At that time, everyone in the restaurant was discussing Yang Jian and was stunned by his several wonderful dunks. Of course, she was no exception.
Some people think that Yang Jian is physically stronger than Michael Jordan and plan to go to the Staples Center to watch the Lakers vs. SuperSonics game live on the 10th, thinking it will be exciting.
From that day on, she remembered Yang Jian, and she didn't expect to see the real person today. What was even more surprising was that the other party was stunned when he saw her. Was he stunned by her beauty, or did he know her?
Yang Jian did know her. She and Snow had watched a movie starring her in the summer. Yang Jian was a little confused. It was indeed easy to meet celebrities in Los Angeles, but why did she pretend to be a restaurant waiter?
"Hello, sir, would you like to order something?"
"Wait, is this some kind of variety show?" Yang Jian looked at her and smiled: "I know you, are you Naomi Watts? I've seen the movie "Tank Girl" you acted in."
Yang Jian suspected that she had been roped into some variety show, and that Drake was a member of the crew and deliberately brought him to this store. Naomi was an actor, pretending to be a waitress, and might prank him later.
Naomi had a cute expression, showing two prominent front teeth. She said in surprise: "You actually know me and remember my name? I had black hair and wore glasses in that movie."
"How could you not recognize her? A beautiful woman with such a temperament, no matter where she is, is like a firefly in the dark night, so bright and outstanding." Yang Jian guessed that this was a program, so he directly added a section to enhance the effect of the program.
lines.
What Yang Jian said is what she thinks in her heart. Naomi is so good-looking that even if she takes a photo with top Nicole Kidman, she will not be outshined. She was already 37 years old when "King Kong" was released, and many fans thought she was a
A beauty who has just debuted. Now she is only in her 20s. She is a super beauty without makeup, and is incompatible with her status as a restaurant waiter.
Naomi's face turned red after being praised, and she covered her mouth with her hands.
"I think you are more suitable for blondes." Yang Jian added, stood up and shook hands with Naomi, looking around and said: "Drake, what kind of show is this? Am I already cheating by doing this? The camera is on
where?"
Drake's expression was also a little cute, and he said: "I am a newcomer in the entertainment industry and have never participated in a variety show. This is not a show. I come to this store often, and she has been working here for several months."
"
"Well, I'm an actor...but I also work here." Naomi nodded awkwardly.
"..." Yang Jian then remembered that Naomi became famous after she starred in "Mulholland Drive". She seemed to have been in a particularly miserable situation when she first arrived in the United States.
He could only relieve the embarrassment by chatting. "So you haven't filmed any new movies recently, so you are working and auditioning at the same time?"
"Yeah, but I always fail in auditions." Naomi's smile was a little bitter, and her eyes looking at Yang Jian were a little hot. "Would you like to order first? There may be more people in the store soon."
"Okay then, what special Chinese breakfast are there? Can you introduce them?" Yang Jian sat down and asked.
Naomi skillfully introduced the store's signature dishes. She spoke in English, but Yang Jian felt that the menu was confusing and she couldn't understand it at all.
Finally, she recommended one, saying it tastes good and has a large portion. Yang Jian thought about it for a while and realized that she recommended pancake fruit. It is really difficult to translate this thing in English. What is fruit? Can Europeans and Americans understand it?
Yang Jian ordered two pancakes and fruit, which were paired with cold skin. He hadn't eaten them for a long time. He quietly observed Naomi and found that she was also looking at him secretly, and then quickly lowered his head.
Drake asked: "Do you ever wonder why people who have starred in movies work in restaurants?"
Yang Jian nodded. He had seen many movies in his previous life, but he had not been in the United States for a long time.
Drake whispered: "I've heard about the movie she starred in. The box office and reputation were very poor. The 25 million investment only made 6 million at the box office. It was a huge loss. It's unlikely that another good movie crew will ask her to star in the short term."
She plays an important role, and her life must be very difficult now."
It's easy to understand. Big-name stars have been on the street too many times, and they can only play supporting roles in bad movies. There are too many examples of this in Hollywood. Actors who are not famous may disappear at any time.
Brad Pitt came here this way. He worked as a waiter and did odd jobs on the set, waiting for the opportunity to become famous.
"Only stars can get high salaries, and ordinary actors' salaries are very low. After a movie is filmed, you may not have a job for a long time, and you have to work part-time." Drake sighed: "Hollywood has never been short of handsome men and beautiful women who want to become famous.
It’s not just about having a good image.”
Yang Jian smiled and asked: "What about you? How are you doing in Hollywood? Do you often get roles?"
"I work behind the scenes and don't act. When the crew needs passers-by, I have appeared on camera. For example, when filming a dinner scene, I was sitting at the table next to me and would be caught by the camera." Drake laughed.
"What behind the scenes work?"
"Screenwriter, assistant director... I haven't even done it yet. Well, I'm actually a handyman on the crew, responsible for the actors' lunch boxes and so on." Drake wanted to sound more successful, but he didn't want to.
Lie to Yang Jian.
An image similar to Wu Mengda flashed in Yang Jian's mind, holding a knife and saw to manage lunch boxes.
The image of Drake really doesn't look like a handyman. Will he suddenly say: "Let me tell you the truth, I am not the field clerk you usually see. My identity is FBI, and I am here to investigate a player criminal case."
"You are still young and will get better and better in the future. I think you should be about the same age as me." Yang Jian encouraged. He is mentally older than Drake.
"I am 21 years old, a little older than you. I have been working since I finished high school. You are so amazing. You can be admitted to Harvard and play in the NBA. I have never heard of anyone as awesome as you." Dre
Kezan said.
"Many people say that." Yang Jian is no longer modest. He is living a cheating life.
"Do you know Chinese Kung Fu? I've watched a lot of Chinese Kung Fu movies." Drake asked.
"Many people have asked this, but I don't understand." There are so many Americans obsessed with Chinese Kung Fu that he is tired of explaining it.
