Chapter 558 Coffee
After leaving the film school, Ryan walked towards the gate of the USC campus. Many students took the initiative to come to say hello. As long as the other party's behavior was not too outrageous, he would not refuse.
Today, he has surpassed George Lucas as the most famous alumnus of USC.
Of course, he is also the wealthiest alumnus, and according to North American tradition, he will definitely be one of the biggest donors to USC in the future.
Near the school gate, Ryan received a call from Darren Bousman, and after a short wait, the other party followed David and Reese from behind.
Hi Ryan.
The three guys beckoned here and walked in front of him in a few steps, Don't you see us?
You? Ryan pointed to the direction of the school gate, and a few of them walked forward together, Are you also in the auditorium?
That's right. David took over the topic. We came to send invitations to the professor. We got to the auditorium a little late, so we had to sit in the back.
No wonder I didn't see you. Ryan nodded. There were so many people in the auditorium, and it was not surprising that these three guys were not found.
Invitation? He remembered what David mentioned again.
The Chainsaw. Darren Bousman, the director, handed over an invitation card. This is yours. The instructor has already agreed to attend the premiere. Don't say you don't have time.
Chen will come from China, Rees added.
Of course there is time. Ryan nodded and took it. This is the work of the four of you, and I'm afraid it will be the last work. I will definitely go.
A few people went out of the school gate, Darren Bousman saw a red Maserati parked not far away, and the blonde beauty in the window, and immediately waved, That's it for today. Ryan, first Bye bye.
That's good. Ryan also saw Charlize Theron in the car.
He waved to the bodyguard, walked over quickly, opened the co-pilot's door, and got into the car.
Why are you here? Ryan fastened his seat belt.
I met Quentin just now, and I came here by the way.
start the car,
Charlize stepped on the accelerator, and with the roar of the motor, the Maserati dashed west.
Quentin? Quentin? Tastino? Ryan responded immediately, You're talking to him about Kill Bill?
Yeah. I read the script, interesting characters.
Hearing this, Ryan couldn't help but look at Charlize, making sure it was a South African diamond, Aren't you not interested in action scenes?.
I also want to create a classic female action character. Charlize said of course.
But, this movie...
Blood? Black? Charlize shrugged and said with a smile, I've already won the Oscar, and I'm not short of money. I just want to take on the drama that interests me.
Just be happy. Ryan stopped talking, the shadow of Trinity flashed in his mind, and he sighed without a trace, What does Quentin Tastino mean?
A deal has been reached.
Since Charlize said so. It is sure to get the heroine. This movie was originally invested by Miramax.
I contacted Tiger, and from tomorrow, he will help me with targeted training.
The car passed Mondeo Avenue. Turning on the road to the south hillside, Ryan gave her a vaccination, Then you have to be mentally prepared. It's very hard.
It's just fitness and weight loss. Charlize stroked his lower abdomen with one hand, I always feel that after the filming of The Devil, my body has not fully recovered.
In essence, this is a typical B-grade film, and it can only be regarded as a niche film in North America. The box office and audience in the previous life all prove this.
Some time ago, Ryan also heard Harvey Weinstein mention that Kill Bill has been sponsored by the open source community that has always emphasized open source and sharing. This website is the most staunch opponent of Microsoft's closed sourceism. Who, not to mention...
However, since Charlize is interested, Ryan will not interfere, as long as she feels happy.
After returning home and having dinner, Charlize sat in front of the computer in the study with great interest. She also became one of the users, and wanted to share a video shot in the garden. of publicity.
How many people have you asked for help?
Taking the juice from Ryan, Charlize flipped the page and said, I've seen videos uploaded by Drew, Scarlett, Pari and others on the website, God, and Gwyneth, she actually uploaded it A video of an engagement... and Leon, showing off his abs!
I've helped them so much, and it's normal for them to help a little. Ryan pulled another chair and sat next to Charlize.
Recently, the number of users has surged, which is inseparable from the spontaneous help of these stars.
The current page of the website is still very simple, and the videos on the home page are the hottest ones at present, such as the trailer of Captain America, and the footage released later...
After Charlize uploaded the video, he flipped through it at random and found a very interesting link, a short film.
Watching Charlize open Coffee, Ryan just kept silent and didn't say anything.
The lighting and the picture are handled very well. She seemed to be muttering to herself, and seemed to deliberately say to Ryan, This is the debut of the most famous talent in Hollywood?
Ryan looked at the upload time, it should have been uploaded to the website today.
After the short title, only fifteen minutes of short film kicked off, both of them put their eyes on the screen and stopped talking.
Manny is an ordinary girl born in Brooklyn, New York. After graduating from high school, she found a job at a coffee shop on Long Island, a business district where she sees many decent people coming and going every day.
The coffee shop is not big, but it has a long history. The owner has a good temper, and he often talks about it in front of her - when his father was still alive, he was running this coffee shop, and all the customers who came here were some old customers. .
As a girl with no education, limited family financial conditions, and a desire for sex, Manni yearns for a decent life. After serving coffee to customers here, I always hide behind the counter, facing the sun, looking at the tall office buildings and apartment buildings, hoping to be one of them one day.
I'd like to have a fucking desk with a computer.
Once when the boss asked her why she was looking over there, the girl said with longing, There is also an apartment that can be accommodated.
A simple wish, like brewing coffee.
The glass door of the coffee shop opened and a customer walked in. After asking for a cup of coffee, I was talking on the phone and drinking coffee, but after a few minutes, I hurried away with my office bag.
The door of the coffee shop closed and opened again. Two middle-aged men in suits and leather shoes and ties entered and sat at the corner table. The atmosphere between them was not friendly. The tit-for-tat is like negotiating until one side flashes disappointment and the other leaves with a smile.
Manny couldn't understand what they were saying or what they were saying. Just repeat the process of brewing coffee, serving coffee, and clearing the table.
Work doesn't make much money. Very laid back.
And the customers she serves always come and go in a hurry.
She even doubted. Did these people taste the coffee she delivered? Is it bitter? Still sweet?
As the boss said, most of the people who come here are old customers, and Manny gradually remembered their habits. For example, a bald middle-aged man always came to sit for ten minutes after lunch, and ordered coffee with three spoons of milk and milk. Two candies, then while flipping through the financial newspaper, finish the cup of coffee and leave.
And the man with the briefcase also likes to come after lunch. He seems to be in the insurance business. He always likes to call customers after ordering a cup of coffee. The coffee he asks for is never sugar-free.
They come by almost every day, within three minutes before and after, like a well-oiled machine.
Then, Manny will also deliver coffee that suits their taste in a timely manner according to their time and habits, just like other regular customers, like a machine.
On occasional breaks, Manny also has a cup of coffee, and the boss is quite generous in this regard.
At the beginning, she liked to put sugar and milk, and wanted to change the mellow and sweet taste. Later, she felt that this taste was too ordinary, and gradually stopped adding sugar and milk, and the bitter coffee tasted unique.
The coffee shop door opens and closes, and the sun's brilliance is reflected in the bright glass windows, disappearing, appearing...
Day by day, Manni's life has not changed. She has no desk, no computer, and no apartment in an apartment building. As a waiter, the biggest spare time is hiding at the counter and drinking the coffee she made. , facing the sun and looking at the high-rise buildings outside.
Gradually, bitter coffee became common.
On this day, the boss's daughter came to help out on vacation, and Manny had more free time.
After lunch, the bald middle-aged man and the man with the briefcase came one after another, sat in their accustomed positions, and began to work routinely, and then Manny made coffee according to their habit, and when it was time to bring it over, the boss's My daughter took the initiative to take over the job.
There's added sugar here, for the customer who reads the newspaper.
When the boss's daughter snatched the tray, Manny didn't forget to remind, The other side is without sugar, for the caller.
The other party nodded solemnly, and when he walked over with coffee, he almost collided with the oncoming boss.
Because of the accident that didn't happen, Manny couldn't help but look over, and then the boss's daughter gave the coffee with sugar to the caller and the coffee without sugar to the bald middle-aged man.
wrong!
This was Manny's first reaction. She stood up and walked out of the counter, wanting to go over and take back the coffee...
The bald middle-aged man flipped through the newspaper and took the first sip, frowned slightly, but continued to drink it; the man with the briefcase took a sip of coffee and continued on the phone, just like in the old days, the two were doing their own things, After drinking coffee, push the door and leave...
The door to the coffee shop opened and closed, and Manny's eyes only saw the sunlight streaming in.
The sun is shining, the buildings are tall, the coffee is mellow with bitterness, and the customers are still in a hurry. (To be continued...) ()
