Chapter 112 You Can Play Ingrid Bergman's Daughter
The brown-haired girl is tall, about 5ft 7 (1.70m).

She glanced at Ronald, and turned to the parking place. She was about to walk with Ronald, but she backtracked, looking a little hesitant to get into the stranger's car.

Ronald knew that girls were more cautious, so he said:

"I'm a student at New York University. If you think I'm reliable, I can take you for a ride and drop you off at a convenient place."

Seeing that he didn't insist on sending her home, the girl let go of her guard, "Are you really a student of New York University?"

Ronald smiled, the girl's tone was a bit like his cousin Donna.So he took out his library card and handed it to the girl:

"Here's my NYU library card. I go to NYU.

I came with my friend and she went in to meet the stars when she wanted to make a record.I don't need to know any celebrities, so I have to go back to NYU.It's really not suitable to take the subway here at night. I can give you a ride and get off at a convenient place for you. "

The girl took the card and looked at it, then gave it back to Ronald, a little embarrassed, "I was stunned by Howard, the classmate who came with me just now. I shouldn't doubt you for no reason. My name is Helen."

"My name is Ronald. Where do you want to get off, I can drop you off"

Helen opened her eyes wide and looked at Ronald, "Well, actually I was going to another party, but Howard didn't want to go with me, so we came to Club 54. Would you like to go with me ?"

Ronald glanced up and down at Helen.Helen, who was dressed as a high school student, probably had a pretty good family background. Although she was dressed like an ordinary high school student, her clothes were more refined and fashionable.Presumably, he is a child from a wealthy family. After knowing that he is a college student, he doesn't have much intention of being on guard.

Ronald opened the car door with a smile and got into the driver's seat.

Helen was very educated, she opened the co-pilot's door, got in, and then automatically put on her seat belt.

Ronald lowered the car window with the central control, allowing fresh air to blow in from the outside. "Is this your classmate's party?"

"No, it's an invitation from my father. It's a news host's party in New York. Many people in the industry will attend." Helen handed over an invitation while speaking.

Ronald took a look. It was a welcome party celebrating the return of the famous movie star, Ingrid Bergman, to New York.He couldn't help but glanced at Helen in surprise, this kind of party is not something ordinary high school students can get invitations to.

Helen smiled as expected, "My father is a friend of Ms. Bergman's daughter, and her daughter is a news anchor on CBS TV, so I took two invitations. But the coward Howard dared not meet my father's friend. "

"Is Howard your high school classmate?" Ronald drove the car out of the parking lot and headed for the address on the invitation, which was on the Upper West Side next to Central Park.

"Yes, he is my former classmate in the public high school in the southern part of the Great Neck area. I just transferred to the performing arts high school recently." Helen spoke in a soft voice, with a standard accent of the upper class in the eastern United States, a bit like English. English.

The Great Neck (Great Neck) is a district of Long Island, New York, Ronald has a bottom line, this is the daughter of a wealthy family.

"Acting high school? We just made a movie about that high school."

"Really? Is it famous all over the world? It's a pity that I was too young to pass the audition."

"Yes, I do odd jobs on the set. Actually, I have a director's union card, and I can be considered an assistant director. I helped do some casting work on the famous film crew." Ronald took out his director's union card and showed it to Helen. .

Helen heard that Ronald was cast by a well-known film crew, and even said it was a pity, "If I had known you earlier, maybe I would have been able to show my face in the film crew."

While stopping to wait for the red light, Ronald turned his head to take a closer look at Helen.Dark brown hair is naturally draped, two big blue eyes, and a light red on the white oval face, a bit like a red apple.

"Of course, your appearance can definitely be selected, and your height is not short. It is no problem to play a high school graduating class."

Ronald praised her. Actually, with Helen's appearance, it's not a problem to play a main supporting role, but it's a pity that her hair is not blond.American audiences still prefer blondes.

"But my father may not agree to my acting role now, but my mother definitely agrees." Helen likes acting very much, and after knowing Ronald worked in the film industry, she became very talkative.I talked a lot about my own thoughts and asked Ronald a lot about making movies.

"Does your father work in a TV station? Then you will not lack performance opportunities in the future." Ronald said.

"But he is on the PBS education channel, and he can only introduce me to some people in the industry. Their station doesn't make much TV series."

Said the two arrived at the destination.

The small party was held at the home of hostess Pia Lindstrom, the top two floors of an Upper West Side apartment.Ronald came to the Upper West Side between Central Park and the Hudson River for the first time, and it was also the first time he entered the house of a wealthy family.

After Helen used the beeper to talk to the hostess, the two of them took the special elevator to the hostess' door, which made Ronald a little curious.

The hostess Pia Lindstrom personally greeted Helen at the elevator door, "Welcome, Helen. Is this your male companion? Your father said you would bring a male classmate. I didn't expect him to be so tall. "

"Oh, it's you, young man. We meet again. Last time I was in a hurry to show up and I didn't have time to thank you. It's very kind of you to come this time. Come in with Helen soon. What's your name?"

Ronald also recognized Pia, the news anchor he had met in the lobby the last time he was at CBS headquarters with Roger Coleman.Ronald also found her notebook.

"My name is Ronald, Ronald Lee. Nice to meet you. I see you often on TV."

Helen was also a little surprised that Ronald knew Pia.

The two walked into the apartment, which was a lively party scene. Some men and women in formal clothes were holding cocktails served by the waiter and chatting.Old-fashioned jazz is played on the record, accompanied by a luxurious atmosphere.

"My mother is tired from the journey and is resting upstairs. Now this is the stage for young people. Let me introduce them to you. Are you also studying at the acting school, Ronald?"

Pia asked Ronald's background.Seeing that Helen's father was the founder of PBS TV station, and that Ronald had done her a favor, Pia decided to treat him as an official guest and introduce him to the young people in her social circle.

"No, Aunt Pia, Ronald is a director, and he was in charge of casting roles in the famous film crew before." Helen eagerly helped to promote Ronald's identity.

"Really? You work for Alan Parker?" Pia looked at Ronald with admiration.

"No, I'm just helping out on the crew. I did some casting work before. I'm studying film and television production at New York University's Tisch College." Ronald took out his director's union card and handed it to Pia.

Pia was surprised again, "Then you have come to the right place today. There are many big names in the film industry and TV industry here. You might as well get to know them."

"Then I'm really lucky." Ronald smiled. In fact, he knew that the real big shots were not interested in talking about his qualifications.Unless you have a family background like the girl next to you, Helen, that's another matter.

"Sit down first, and I'll introduce you to someone later." Pia saw Ronald's thoughts, smiled and greeted other guests.

"Is she the daughter of Ms. Ingrid Bergman?" Ronald took two glasses of cocktails from the tray in the waiter's hand, and handed one to Helen after sitting down.

"Yes, she is the daughter of the double actress." Helen picked up a glass of Pina Colada, this slightly alcoholic drink, her father did not forbid her to drink it, especially with Aunt Pia, let alone worry.

Compared to the middle-aged men at the party, Helen was obviously more interested in Ronald, her peer.She asked some questions about the filming, and knowing that Ronald had also directed a few episodes in "High School of Rock", she became more interested.

"Really, all my classmates went to the midnight show. I haven't found anyone to watch it with me yet." After speaking, he looked at Ronald with big eyes and a smile.

Ronald didn't want to take the offer, and Helen was still very young, a teenager, and going out to a midnight movie with her now, at least with her father's permission.

"You can take the ferry to Staten Island, and the movie theaters there show daytime shows, and the copy of High School Rock is cheaper. It's suitable for the movie theaters in Staten Island."

Diverting the topic, the two continued to talk about some anecdotes about filming.After a while Helen was recognized by acquaintances and began to discuss her father with them.

Ronald finished drinking Pina Colada by himself and was about to get another glass when a young black-haired beauty hurried over.

"Are you Ronald? Pia asked me to meet you. He said you went to NYU Tisch College?"

The beauty has short hair that reaches the ears, a small nose with a straight nose, and very beautiful eyes. She speaks with a foreign taste, which is a bit of the temperament of a European beauty.Her facial features may not be as good as Natasha Kinski, another European beauty, but her overall temperament is still better.

Ronald was in a daze for a moment, and blurted out:

"If you make a movie, you can play Ingrid Bergman's daughter."

"Hahahaha..." Pia, who happened to come over, also heard this sentence, and collapsed on the sofa laughing with the black-haired European beauty.

A voice on the stairs "What are you laughing at? Pia, Isabella? Who can play my daughter?"

A glamorous, elderly beauty came down the stairs. It was Ms. Ingrid Bergman, the Oscar-winning actress who was to be welcomed at this party.
