King of Hollywood

“Hey, we saw it first!” When Natalie tried to take a bag of tissue off the shelf, she suddenly reached out and grabbed it, and Memmy next to her called it out.

“Oh?” The brown-haired girl with the shopping basket turned around and looked pretty in a simple but refreshing outfit, standing in the middle of a few girls with some crane feeling. After picking Natalie's eyebrows, she said in a lazy, slightly disdainful tone: "I'm so sorry, Your Majesty, we didn't notice you were here. ”

The girl with whom she was with laughed at the same time. It was also a despicable look. [Search latest updates all over]

“Forgive my intrusion, Your Majesty,” the brown-haired girl continued, "but I don't think you'd mind if I took this bag of tissue? You will certainly not know how big the party we host to welcome new members is and how much paper we need to use. Of course, I can invite you to watch instead of Camilla if you want. ”

“Don't be so childish, Deanna, you look like a little girl who hasn't grown up yet who likes to show off her toys!” Memmy sarcastically said she was going to say a few more words, but Natalie pulled her over.

“It's yours, Deanna, but let me remind you," Natalie looks serious, "all the royal expenses are reported to the council, so I have to note on the documents given to them that this bag of tissue was given to you. ”

She shrugged her shoulders and pulled Memmy away without giving her a chance to talk.

“It must be interesting to note on the document that it was forwarded to you, oh, my God, that I really wanted to stay there and admire Deanna's expression.” Memmy laughed.

“No, Deanna is one of the few people in the sorority with a little head, even if she's upset.” Natalie said in a plain tone.

“Don't you care at all, Natalie?” Memmy asked curiously.

“Why should I care about them? Yes, they are rich and inviting, but do we have to please them?” Natalie shrugged.

Brotherhood and Sisters have always been traditional organizations in American universities, or less powerful than students, but students who join can easily build their own connections if they have the ability, so the top children are members of the organization in college, and the middle and bottom children are mostly fighting to get in.

Generally, children from wealthy families, especially those connected to each other, are easy to get into, but children from the middle and lower classes are not. He/she will face all sorts of strange pranks, which are part of the admission test, and if he/she fails, he/she will not be allowed to enter a fraternity or a sisterhood.

You know, fraternity and sisterhood are in the hands of the rich children, and there's no shortage of elite characters among them, but more of them are dudes. So it's common to have fun with these middle and lower level students who want to come in. It's their norm to look down on other students as well. Little conflicts like today's start when Natalie enters Harvard.

After all, not many people were known in the United States or even around the world before school - even though the new premiere was criticized by many Star Wars iron fans, Natalie was indeed well known for the film - and anyone would have a psychological imbalance, even those rich children who had eaten well since childhood. But that's also why Natalie didn't take them seriously, as she told Memmy, is it necessary to please them?

“Let me see, blank notebooks, People magazine, tomato sauce... that's about it, let's go back.” I went around the convenience store and looked for what I wanted to buy, and Memmy said so.

“Wait, there's this.” Natalie took something off the shelf and threw it in the basket.

“Yes, Verina wants chips.” Memmy laughed and was just about to have a little fun, before the girls' voices suddenly drifted from the oblique rear of the other side of the cargo rack into their ears.

“Speaking of which, what's the pride of that bitch, 'all expenses to be reported to Parliament’? Does she really think she's some kind of queen?” This is the voice of one of the girls.

“Unfortunately, she is, as everyone in the United States now knows, Queen Amidala.” It's Deanna's voice.

“Oh, come on, it's just a star,” a girl sounded, “you know, I went back to New York a week ago for the MTV Awards ceremony and saw her and that famous Hollywood dude Adrian? Colwell made out at the ceremony. ”

“No way? I heard she was born into a conservative Jewish family and listened to her parents.” The unbelievable sound went off.

“It's perfectly normal that you'll never know what she really is until you really know someone.” Deanna's voice rang again, and she brought laziness with her again, as if she was proud of what she was grabbing.

“These bitches.” Memmy scolded and was about to shout, reminding these idiots who were talking about other people behind their backs, but Natalie grabbed them again.

She shook her head calmly and walked along the cargo rack to the cash register. Memmy sighed and followed her.

“They were so outrageous, how could they say that,” Memmy grumbled on the way back, "as if we were provoking them! ”

“Normally, they are the kind of people, and mistakes are always made by others.” Natalie shrugged her shoulders carelessly.

“Then you shouldn't be watching them make it up, should you?” Memmy frowned.

“Don't worry, Memmy, trust me, I didn't attend the MTV Awards ceremony a week ago, and the tabloids are definitely clearer than they are.” Natalie smiled softly.

“That's true...” Memmy's eyes lit up, but quickly looked at her with some hesitation.

“Ask whatever you want.” Natalie glanced at her.

“Hmm...” Memmy laughed with some embarrassment, but asked: “I remember your first piece seemed to be with Adrian? Colwell worked together, didn't he? And there's news that Amidala's character was also recommended by him, so..."

“What do you think?” Natalie smiled and turned her head to look at Memmy.

Memmy coughed dry and then lowered his head.

“It is true, however, that it can be considered.” Natalie suddenly said again, and then her friend looked up in surprise.

“My first work did work with him, and Amidala was the character he recommended to me, and regardless of the gossip, he was a very attractive man, and maybe next time I could really try to date him.” Natalie laughed in the end, although she had something to say.

Memmy laughed and glanced at her. “Okay, I won't talk about this again. ”

The two girls went back to the dorm, chatting a few more words, Natalie entered her bedroom, the door closed for a moment, the original smile immediately disappeared, and the whole face sank.

It took her seconds to calm down and then frowned. I thought I could wait... I walked back and forth twice in the room, closed my eyes and remembered carefully, combed all the plans again, there shouldn't be any leaks, so she quickly made up her mind.

“Ed?” After the phone was turned on, Natalie first opened her mouth and then frowned, which is when she should wait for the other person to ask.

But the people over there didn't hear anything, and the tone was very quick: "Hey, Nada, it's so nice to hear from you. You know, I missed you again. ”

“Are you in Los Angeles now?” Natalie asked directly.

“Yes, I just got back from London, and, you know, Harry Potter's selection is over, and I'm about to start shooting, and I have to go see for myself. By the way, I brought Kayla from London, and there's a role for her here. And then we're going to New Zealand, and the shooting's going on over there.” Adrian replied with a smile.

“Are you free now?” Adrian stretched his hand and plucked the hairs between his ears, sounding calm and having completely controlled his emotions.

“Of course. Is there anything I can do for you? ”

“Something… I want to talk to you? ”

“Is something wrong? ”

“No, actually, I had an idea I wanted to talk to you about before, but it just didn't feel right all the time. Now, after I calm down and think about it, I finally sort it out, so... the day after tomorrow is the weekend, and I'm going to go to LA tomorrow for an event, if that's okay, can you give me some time on the weekend? ”

“… no problem. ”

After switching off her phone, Natalie grew out of breath and now there's only one last step left, as long as she can go...

With the weekend on schedule, Cambridge, which was already lively, brothers and sisters began to decorate their party venues for a party, but Natalie had already gone to Los Angeles. That charitable activity was small, so I slept in the hotel that night, got up and adjusted a little, and went to Adrian's mansion in Beverly Hills after I recovered to my best.

“Why are there so few people in the house?” Although he followed Adrian upstairs through the living room, he hardly saw a maid along the way, let alone his secretary's assistant or the "close maid”.

'Cause you're coming. ”Adrian turned around and laughed.

Natalie couldn't help laughing, and she hasn't been here many times in the past few years, but every time she comes to Adrian, someone else leaves to prevent her from being seen. Time passes really fast, a few years later, I have to say Adrian is sometimes sweet... she quickly realizes that her thoughts are a little floating and then converges.

“Can I get you something to drink?” Adrian opened his own liquor cabinet when he came to the study. "Romani in '77? How's Candy? Pure and soft. ”

“No, Ed.” Sitting down Natalie smiled.

“That's not good. Drink some wine properly and you can have beauty, even though you're already beautiful.” Adrian said, turning his head and making a squeaky sound.

At that moment, Natalie wanted to laugh, but then she took control of herself, and many times, she was led past by his words, and today she couldn't, otherwise she might lose something.

“Ed!” She shouted in an aggravated tone.

“All right,” Adrian sighed, closing the liquor cabinet and doing behind the desk, "so what? You're dressed so formally, you want to break up with me? ”

His tone was a joke, but Natalie nodded solemnly: "Yes! ”

Adrian was clearly corrupted, seemed a little overwhelmed, and Natalie continued: “I know it's a little sudden, but I really think it's time to end our relationship, not because of impulse, but because of a thoughtful outcome. ”

She looked up and looked at him with a sincere eye: “We had a great time, Ed, and I never denied it, although... but I didn't regret it. I enjoyed being with you. You chatted, shopped, played, you always grabbed my heart, and I was really happy. But... there are things that have always bothered me... I know you have a lot of women, and I know you know you have a lot of women, but you... have never spontaneously mentioned these to me, not even a little hint.

I don't know what you're thinking, Ed, but you've always given me a... misty feeling that I can't grasp you. I've been waiting, waiting for your explanation and reassurance, even though I know that you won't give up on others for me, yet you remain silent in this regard... I finally chose to give up after hesitation, I don't want to be an accessory to your life, I don't want to compete with any women, so... sorry. ”

She looked straight at Adrian and waited for his response. The smile had long disappeared from his face. In listening to her talk, Adrian was a little surprised, then frowned and eventually returned to peace. At this moment, sitting behind the desk, his hands crossed in front of him, looking at her motionlessly, his dark eyes gave a deep feeling, as if no one could find anything from them.

In the face of this unspeakable gaze, Natalie's fingers on the armrest also had to be gently rubbed off.

After so long, Adrian finally opened his mouth and his voice was very light, but the words were not very light: “Why not tell the truth, Nada? ”

Natalie didn't respond, she just blinked her eyes and looked at her. All she had to say was, suddenly the response would only call the other person's initiative.

“I admit that you do have a few reasons for choosing to end,” Adrian didn't wait, he said again soon, his voice was still very light, like coming from the sky, "but that's not the main reason, you choose to end because —— you don't think you get more from me, or that what you get from me will be far less than you lose! ”

Natalie still watched him quietly without speaking, just pinched her hands slightly invisible.

“You've always been a very special girl, smart, premature, confident, and... proud," Adrian continued, calming down as if you had no emotions at all, "you can always quickly adapt to your surroundings, know how to achieve your goals, even if you have difficulties, you can quickly find a solution, for example - by getting a second audition with a manager familiar with the director, or by pulling a relationship with the director to maintain your strengths, while planning for the future, even knowing that he has many problems.

But that's not your ultimate goal. What you want deep down is unique, what you want is non-reproducible, what you want is Natalie? Portman first, not Audrey? Hepburn number two! Being intimate with this director does bring you a lot of benefits, and this director is really good at it. After he started directing the movie, he was born after the Oscar Cinema, and you believe that one day you will be able to climb the throne.

But you quickly discovered that there was a lot of harm, because he was very dedicated, and almost every woman he ever worked with had sex with him. If that were the case, you wouldn't worry about it. Your goal isn't here anyway, but the question is, what do people think? Especially after an actress has been able to get an Oscar, because the more comfortable gossip he's been served in bed, the more certain you have to change.

You don't want to be described as such in the future, although you already know that this is normal in the entertainment industry, and you don't really care that the interests at hand are the most important, but you don't want to be spoken of by the public yourself. Because, you are proud, you are reluctant to stand alongside others, you can tolerate the low tide of your career, you can hone yourself repeatedly for acting, but you can never tolerate your honor being looked down on!

It was easy for him to leave, because he had heard privately that if his woman wanted to leave, she would never be stopped if she made it clear, and that was pretty much what she did. But the problem is that if you leave immediately, you lose a lot of opportunities, and you don't have to understand what opportunity means. And for various reasons, such as family, you have some good work, but for a long time you can only count as a second-line actor, and even that director can't change that for the time being. So you waited patiently until the premiere of the Star Wars and Harvard approved your application.

By referring to SAT and AP and winning the AP Scholar Award and published papers, you have succeeded in creating a distinct image of an actor, beautiful and intelligent; and the premiere of the Star Wars has gained a lot of popularity by letting her name ring across the United States. More importantly, there are two more pieces to make after the Star Wars prequel, you don't have to worry about your popularity and commercial value for a long time, you can work with other directors to march to Oscar, not necessarily with that guy.

At the same time, while the nomination of the best female partners at the beginning of the year was an honor, it also rang the alarm bell for you. If you continue, your greatest concern is likely to become a reality, so when you're ready, just a little stimulus will be enough for you to make a card-studding decision. ”
