Hollywood Domination: The first time

"Yes, you are right. The construction of the Bird's Nest Stadium took about five years. This may be a relatively rare speed in the history of the world." When Jenny and her party got out of the nanny car When he came out, Xiao Han said in an admiring voice, "The design and construction started when our country got the right to host the Olympic Games two thousand years ago, and now it's all completed."

The foreigners around him murmured admiration, even Woody and the others, who had been concentrating on security work, couldn't help raising their heads and sizing up this brand-new architectural spectacle— —Although from the perspective of the whole world, the Bird's Nest may not attract much attention, but it can be completed in just five years. For Westerners who are used to eight or even ten years of construction time, this speed And what it represents behind it can still make people feel a little touched.

Because today's security work is not difficult, Jenny is definitely not a demanding customer, so today Woody and the others are not so much performing tasks as enjoying paid vacations. Obviously, compared to the Forbidden City and the Prince Kung's Mansion is quaint, and they are even more touched by prosperous areas such as Chang'an Street and Wangfujing. The street scene here seems to be more shocking to those Americans who have a stereotyped impression.

As for Cesare, of course he has remained calm. Jenny tried to find out some feelings from his face, but she suspected that Cesare might have secretly searched for some information on China and Beijing last night, so today he In any scenic spot, you are prepared, and there is no place to lose your composure.

"Mr. Zhang has been living near the Bird's Nest all this time, but you may not be able to see him now. You can go to one of our internal exhibition halls first, and there are some souvenirs for you. If you If there is anything you particularly like, you can let me ask for it." Xiao Han, who has been receiving the team all the time today, was also shocked by Jenny today. If before that, he was just an ordinary movie fan, by the way, he was a little bit borrowed If Jenny's strength climbs carefully, then after today's travel together, his admiration for Jenny will completely rise to a new level, and he will be a little dumbfounded - Woody and the others are surrounded by local security and Accompanied by an interpreter, a bilingual tour guide was also arranged. As for the few people surrounded by the crowd, they still enjoyed relative comfort, so he was the only one who witnessed how Jenny understated it, as if casually introducing them to Cesare. The historical background behind the scenic spot, as soon as she turned her head, she could talk and laugh happily with Xiao Han's quotations in Chinese: She just made an excuse, saying that she had watched some BBC introduction documentaries before coming, and Xiao Han seemed to use this excuse She believed so much that she had a sense of admiration for her intelligence, even religious worship. She felt that even if she started to perform lightness kung fu in the next second, Xiao Han would not have any doubts other than applauding. Now he talks to her with the taste of asking for the gift of the great god, and he has no desire Shocking Jenny's *, she tacitly agreed that even if the sky collapsed, she would not even raise her eyebrows.

"Is there anyone else in the exhibition hall?" Jenny asked. She guessed that some lounges inside the Bird's Nest must be monopolized by politicians now, and the big names in the entertainment industry can only feel a little bit wronged and squeezed more. "If this is the case, we can go directly to our seats. It is already past seven o'clock, and we can watch the opening ceremony after a short rest, right?"

Although she is quite active today, it doesn't mean that she particularly wants to get other people's attention. She guesses that if she goes to this lounge now, she must have acquaintances with some big names in China. I really don't have much interest in the communication. This time she took the line of Boss Han, which is actually enough. Even if she needs contacts, Director Zhang is much more reliable.

"Of course, you can come here however you find it convenient." Xiao Han said repeatedly, and he switched to English again, and started communicating with Cesare—I have to say, Xiao Han is indeed very discerning, That is to say, after being with him for such a long time today, he has realized that Cesare is also an important figure in the team, at least he is not Jenny's little follower.

Cesare sounded as uninterested in visiting some souvenirs, so the team walked directly to the guest entrance, went through a symbolic security check, entered the vast stadium, and sat down in their seats.

With Jenny's level, it is impossible for her bodyguards and security personnel to have a seat in the box area with a relatively better view, including Xiao Han who is also sitting in a place with a more remote view, so she is left Sitting side by side with Cesare in the first row: there is still half an hour, most of the guests may still be socializing in the lounge, or they just plan to arrive before the most important people, facing the dark stands on the other side Than, the flow of people here is much sparser.

"Do you like the Beijing snacks we tasted tonight?" She consoled Cesare, trying to hide the joy in her tone, "I suspect that those foods may not suit your appetite."

Cesare seems to have made up his mind not to discover the unusual place of Jeanne, even today she wove almost all these doubtful points into a flag, waving it back and forth under Cesare's eyes, he is still majestic Don't move, don't give any response. Just like now, he knows that most of Jenny deliberately ordered soy milk, stewed liver, fried liver, and enema, which are not acceptable to foreigners, and even caused his dinner to be almost unbearable, so he just raised his eyebrows, as if I didn't notice the mischievous smile on her face, and just replied flatly, "Maybe you don't know, but I have always been a very experimental tourist."

Jenny knows that her performance is considered immature. Maybe she should be sad and full of thoughts because of things related to her return. Of course, she is not without similar emotions. However, after the conversation last night, Instead, what occupied her main emotion today was a sense of liberation—even she herself didn't expect that even just sharing the secret of "I have a secret" with another person could provide such a rich reward. Like a model who has been on a diet for countless years (this analogy is actually true), it’s like walking into an ice cream shop for the first time after retiring. Although he knows that his performance is not appropriate, but at this time, joy has completely overwhelmed everything—— This is another burden that you don't know how heavy it is until you let it go.

"Okay, then it looks like I can delete you from the list of people who enjoy this small snack." She decided to restrain herself, and took out her meal preparations from her bag, unpacked and handed To Cesare, "Here, the whole wheat sandwich on the breakfast table, I hope you don't dislike its blandness."

Cesare raised his eyebrows at her—they were all familiar with Jenny's eating habits, sometimes because she couldn't control the heat when eating out, she would eat a homemade meal before going to a party, and Mary also developed a habit Bring some meal prep habits with you. Of course, now that Mary is on vacation, she also knows how to take care of herself—however, letting go of meal preparation means that she has already filled her stomach at the snack tasting just now. And this is simply a big crime for an actress.

"Why," Jenny put up a barrier defensively, "Chinese snacks are different from foreign desserts, you can enjoy them as much as you want, and you won't get fat no matter how much you eat."

Of course it's not scientific to say that, but Cesare didn't seem to want to argue with her, instead he nodded and said docilely, "Of course, for normal people, these flavored foods may also have a weight-loss effect. "

Jennie choked on the rich sarcasm in the sentence, and she laughed out loud after a while, then punched Cesare again, "You know, you're a very, very annoying person."

Cesare shrugged nonchalantly (a very rare gesture for him), rolled up his sleeves, flipped his tie behind his head, and pulled out a no-sauce, low-salt, only flavoring of some pepper I ate my sandwich.

Blowing the oncoming, somewhat hot night wind, seeing Cesare's civilian appearance as he tried his best not to let the vegetable juice drip on his body, Jenny quickly forgave him—although she wasn't too angry at first, Somewhat explaining the taste, she said, "Of course I know, those snacks are a little bit calorie-dense, but they're to me—what Mom's meatloaf is to a Jew, or spaghetti Bolognese is to an Italian—there's something about it." Some foods have special meaning."

As she said, she was almost trembling with joy at being able to talk about these things freely. She now believes that "coming out" means a lot to the lgbt community. Joy, and this joy almost concealed the sadness caused by mentioning the past, Jenny said her thoughts without thinking, "Sometimes you will be weird, but that is the case. In many cases, the memory of food The longest, you have forgotten what kind of mood you lived in at a certain stage of your life, but you will remember what you ate at that time, and you will remember the first time you left home alone It can evoke some memories..."

She smiled and did not continue, but handed over a tissue and turned on the water for Cesare, "Okay, the prank is officially over, I will ask Xiao Han to prepare some sandwiches for you from tomorrow, We can eat some cold food at noon, and go to some restaurants in the embassy area in the evening, and their flavors are not inferior to those in our country.”

Cesare said sarcastically, "I didn't know you were playing a prank on me—"

Jennie glared at him, and Cesare laughed from the bottom of his heart, his head thrown to the sky, laugh lines appearing at the corners of his eyes, but amazingly, it made him look younger than usual Some—he made a truce gesture and put the tissues in the trash.

"Thank you for your thoughtful consideration." He said, "You know, I am your manager, and you are the one who needs to be taken care of, but in China, I feel that our roles seem to be reversed."

Jenny shrugged, wondering if 'hospitality' might be too obvious, and in the end she just said, "Because I can speak Chinese, I can take care of the team more effectively, can't I?"

"Of course." Cesare said, he unscrewed the water bottle and took a sip, "but you do more than that - Beijing's attractions are very interesting, but I can feel that you are not very keen on them - It feels like the reason why you take part in such excursions is just to accompany me."

Jenny does not deny that generally speaking, celebrities do not deliberately accompany their managers, on the contrary, managers need to accompany celebrities frequently, and she has indeed thought about whether to join Cesare’s tourism activities in Beijing, or to go by herself Some places that have special meaning to her are explored and remembered. But the thinking at that time seems outdated now. On the one hand, she surprisingly lacks the urge to pay tribute to the past. Of course, she has not fully come out yet, but she is getting rid of the shadow faster than she thought, and on the other hand On the one hand, she also felt a little sorry for letting Cesare, who accompanied her to Beijing, travel alone.

"Isn't it normal to accompany a friend?" She asked back, "Still in your heart, we are still not friends?"

Cesare smiled lightly.

"For some reason," he said, "the 'traveling with a friend' thing feels a little odd...like it's so normal for you."

Jenny also laughed, "Hollywood stars usually don't do such things, do they? Accompanying friends around the attractions that have been to several times."

"It does seem so," Cesare said, "You can't imagine Chris doing that, can you?"

Jenny burst out laughing, "I sort of see what you mean now - just associating Chris with tourist attractions is pretty funny. Tourist hats, tour groups, all that sounds like he's not meant to be - For him, a vacation must be a private island, a private jet and a private yacht, isn’t it? Any leisure activity that is not private is not a vacation for us.”

It's not because Chris is vain, in fact, it all makes sense, no one likes to take a bodyguard on vacation, but Hollywood a-r's are usually lost going to strange places alone, The courage to walk into a crowd—Jenny was absolutely daring in the first place. And a bodyguard usually means extra attention, not to mention how valuable and scarce his time is, what would happen if Chris walked up the Empire State Building with his friends?

Jenny looked around: there are still more than 20 minutes before the opening ceremony will begin, but the stands are still sparsely populated. Xiao Han was nowhere to be found, only she and Cesare were sitting together, waiting for the opening of another big event with 100,000 excited people. This was almost the first time after she became famous, she and so many people saw her The people in the movie sit in one place, and no one notices her, and no one even cares about her-and this is the first time after becoming famous, she came to be a guest of an event, and after arriving at the scene, she actually grew up. No one approached for 20 minutes: In such a grand event and in front of so many important people, the importance of a celebrity is infinitely compressed, and she no longer has any priority. In the city of Beijing, she can entertain her friends and travel together ——She can be a normal person again.

"I like Beijing now," Jenny declared, "because it allows me to use my talent for hospitality—I like to travel with my friends."

She winked at Cesare again, "And you? Do you like being treated like this? Someone made a special trip to accompany you to play - don't tell me you prefer to walk around alone, I will get hurt for me Self-esteem killed you."

"If you insist on asking, this should be my first time traveling." Cesare didn't follow Jenny's joke, he was silent for a while, and confessed an unexpected fact.

Jenny gasped.

"What?" she said, making an exaggerated expression. Because Cesare obviously wasn't telling the truth: not to mention Lilian, before founding Big Dream, he went on vacation with Chris every year. "Oh dear, aren't you the poorest person in the world?"

"If tourism is defined as visiting a strange city, visiting its cultural monuments or natural wonders," Cesare explained, his white shirt rolled up above his elbows, his hair covered in night. The wind was blowing a bit messy, and at this moment he really looked much more friendly than usual, like a ruler who took off his crown and put on a farmer's shirt to mix into the carnival, "Then this is indeed It was my first time to travel, and I have been to some places before that, but it was a by-product of long-term life, if you lived in New York for five years, you would not call the Met a trip."

"As for the Maldives and the Caribbean, that's called a vacation to you, isn't it?" Jenny's tone was less dramatic, and she began to feel slightly sorry for Cesare - not the first time It's a similar feeling that there are people in the world who grow up in loving families, like Mary and Lillian, who are rich in material and spirituality, but there are also people who live in... the opposite of those families, like Cesare and... Like Cesare, he has a trust fund that allows him to easily pull off a big house in Beverly Hills, but this man has never traveled.

"As for the Maldives and the Caribbean, they are called vacations in a literal sense." Cesare corrected, "And it's more like a job for me, but the environment is much more relaxed, and I'm still on vacation." To be with my clients and spend their time the way they like - Christopher is certainly approachable, but you can't imagine him accompanying you to something he doesn't want to do, can you?"

Jenny thought about how Christopher accompanied Cesare to read legal documents—in her imagination, Cesare’s hobby should be reading legal documents—she couldn’t help laughing .

"So, it's an honor to be your first time," she said, in a gruff, deliberately majestic air, "tell me, do you enjoy my company, ma'am? Have a nice trip?"

Cesare still looks strangely serious, he seems to have been completely fascinated by the concept of 'he is traveling'.

"I can't answer you right now," he finally concluded, "'Most' is comparative, and at least three samples are required. When my journey reaches the predetermined number, I will let you know the result."

Jennie couldn't tell for a moment whether he was joking or really serious, she stared at Cesare dumbfounded, and Cesare stared back at her unmoved-but his eyes Something is gradually expanding, and a few thin lines appeared on the edge of his lips——

Jenny wanted to laugh, but also wanted to fight back, she pointed at Cesare and shouted, "You—"

Cesare leaned heavily on the back of the chair, patted the armrest, raised his head and laughed happily, but the laughter was quickly interrupted——

A burst of hurried footsteps suddenly came out from the direction of the entrance passage, passing through the mixing sound in the corridor, forming a series of piercing echoes, and soon, Xiao Han broke into the field of vision of Jenny and Cesare— ——His speed must be very fast, at least close to the speed of sound, and he appeared almost as soon as the sound of footsteps——He rushed straight to Jenny, who was surprised to find that Xiao Han was bright red from head to toe, like It's a freshly cooked shrimp.

"That one." Xiao Han said, he was so excited that he didn't know what to do - if he could tear his chest muscles open and take out his heart to cool off, Jenny estimated that he would do the same. "That one, that one—"

He took a deep breath, and then recovered, and finished speaking anxiously, "The one just entered the lounge, and he asked you by name—he wants to see you!"
