Chapter 24 [Plain, is it really okay]

With his future vision, Yang Rui easily won the favor of Scarlett Johansson.

He dared to assert that the yet-to-be-released "Titanic" is a classic movie, and also firmly believes that magic and science fiction movies are the future development trend, and will definitely become the main force at the box office.

At this time, "Harry Potter" had just published its first novel, and like "The Lord of the Rings", it only released its first movie in 2001. If he had money, he would want to buy these film and television copyrights to share.For him, the entertainment industry has unlimited business opportunities. As long as he invests, it is difficult not to make a fortune.

In the early stage, Scarlett was a famous girl in literary and artistic films. Yang Rui chatted with her about acting and movies, and soon became a bosom friend.After lunch, he got Scarlett's phone number and was not taken as a weirdo.

Before leaving, Scarlett asked: "I want to give my brother a gift. He is a fan of Alan Houston. When the season starts, can you help me get his signed jersey?"

"Of course." Yang Rui agreed without thinking.

Scarlett was stunned for a moment, then smiled and showed two rows of white teeth: "Jerry, why are you being so nice to me? Could it be that you like me?"

"I'm optimistic that you will become a big star and a Hollywood actress in the future, so make a good relationship first. Don't think about it all day long before you are 13 years old." Yang Rui was amused.

Even if he knew that Scarlett would be a star in the future, he didn't mean it, he just wanted to make friends.

Having sex with a minor in the US carries a heavy sentence, in New York, it's a 20-year sentence... Unless you don't want to, who would consider such a thing?
Encountering Scarlett, Yang Rui's life has become enriched, preparing for the future when he has money to invest.

He goes to the library to read every day, eats at the aftertaste snack bar at noon, and takes a walk home at night to exercise and cook.

In his new life, he cherishes time more than others and has more life insights.

His work in his previous life was good, but only good, not really a love; he had a few girlfriends in his previous life, but none of them were true love, but more like a show.

To put it bluntly, his previous life was just an ordinary person, too ordinary, and his life was dull and boring.

Some people say that blandness is true, but blandness, is it really good?

The Belgian "Elderly" magazine once conducted a nationwide survey on the elderly over 60 entitled "What do you regret most?" The results of the survey are very interesting.

72％的老人后悔年轻时努力不够，以致事业无成；67％的老人后悔年轻时错误地选择了职业；63％的老人后悔对子女教育不够或方法不当；58％的老人后悔锻炼身体不足；56％的老人后悔没有好好珍惜自己的伴侣。

At the age of 60, it is already sunset. Looking back, I can make a more objective and fair judgment about myself.

Yang Rui has not yet reached the age of 60, and he realized that his previous life was wrong. Since most old people regret not being successful in their career, he should focus on his career, especially if he chooses the right career, he does not want to regret it in the future. .

He also has to exercise, stay healthy, and find a loving partner.

As long as you do these three things, your life will be perfect.He currently has no children and no aging parents, and he is full of energy. If his career is not successful, he has absolutely no excuses!

Not only Yang Rui's life is on the right track, but Thomas is also doing very well on Wall Street. The two are enviable successful people among their peers.

Two months later, Yang Rui and Scarlett became friends, and there was a special window seat at the "Aftertaste Snack Bar".Scarlett lives not far, and especially likes to chat with Yang Rui about movies.

They usually eat Chinese food, and the dessert is black sesame paste, but only two people still like it.

Scarlett's younger brother, Hunter, also often comes to eat. The twins have very similar facial features. This child can definitely deceive many people by wearing a wig and pretending to be a woman.

The two forced Hunter to eat sesame paste, and the guy took a bite. Yang Rui's expression could be remembered for a lifetime, like going to the execution ground.This food is a bit heavy for the cultural concept of most Americans.

At the end of August, Scarlett successfully auditioned into the "Horse Whisperer" crew and went to film.

Hunter still frequents the snack bar to eat and asks long-standing questions. "Jerry, I'm curious, can you really talk to Scarlett?"

"Don't you often listen to our chat? Don't you believe she can become a big Hollywood star? I see people very accurately." Yang Rui replied.

Hunter was confused. He insisted at first because Scarlett said he knew the Knicks assistant, and he was worried that the other party was a liar or had bad intentions.

As a result, after meeting many times, he found that Yang Rui's eyes were clear. He was not in love with Scarlett at all, but was talking about basketball, movies, Hollywood gossip, and some entertainment.

"Do you still want to be an actor in the future?" Hunter asked.

"No, I'm more interested in being a boss and investing in making movies. To put it bluntly, I want to make money." Yang Rui took a mouthful of fried noodles with a longing look.

The more money, the better. In the short term, he can't accumulate the capital to do big things. Thomas has helped him make a lot of money, but it's still too slow.

Hunter asked, "You're going to help me get an autograph in Houston right after training camp starts?"

"Of course, it's a small matter. What do you want Houston to write on the clothes? I don't think he can give you clothes, so you'd better get one yourself."

"Just write about Hunter. One day, you will also become an NBA star." Hunter said seriously.

Yang Rui smiled and shook his head: "Let's change it. From my professional perspective, you can't become an NBA star. Playing basketball depends on your talent."

Hunter was a little unhappy: "Why not, I'm very tall."

Yang Rui sighed: "Don't you look at the level of confrontation in the NBA? I have a physique that will fall apart. Even if you grow to 1.9 meters in the future, you can develop muscles? If someone else gives you an elbow, your handsome face will be ruined. If you want to play basketball to be handsome, you can play in school."

Hunter is usually very narcissistic, and he blushed a little when he was told the central thing. "Then what did you say to write?"

"Study hard and improve every day." Yang Rui replied casually.

"..."

Hunter went home and thought hard for several days, and took a jersey to Yang Rui at the snack bar. "I think about it, just write it, never give up my dream!"

"Hey, it's really good to write this, Hunter, what is your dream?"

"I don't know. Right now...don't know."

Yang Rui felt a chill when he saw his shy look.This is the tall male version of Scarlett, and the two look too much alike.

On September 9, Yang Rui received a call from management to prepare him for the team media day.The day after tomorrow, everyone in the team has to get busy, and the new season is about to start!
