[American Entertainment] Crazy ex-boyfriend

"You still look good with a chubby face,? You saw how beautiful you were when you shot Running?on?Empty!"

Rui Fan felt a little embarrassed and shy, "Don't mention that time!"

"Why not? Because of Martha?"

He pursed his lips, but didn't speak.

Hailey didn't talk anymore either.

Randomly stuffed the photos into the photo album, then threw them on the sofa armchair by the bed, turned over and got out of bed, and walked to the bathroom.

Rui Fan will come over soon,? "Babybear——"

She looked at him expressionlessly.

"It's not that you can't mention Martha—" He took a long breath, "Just,? I don't know how to say it. Martha...she is my First? Love,? I am also her First? Love, We were...too young at that time, and we didn't even know how to back down."

It's also easy to understand.Martha was born in an acting family, her parents are both actors, and she can be said to be the second generation of stars. She started her acting career since she was a child and participated in many good films. In the last ten years, she was one of the most popular child stars in Hollywood. Now She is also a promising young actress, so it can be said that a girl who has had a smooth sailing since she was a child is of course proud and does not know how to compromise.

As for Rui Fan, as the eldest son, he was used to taking care of his younger siblings since he was a child, and he started earning money to support the family very early, so he was a little bit strong. The two were only 16 or 7 years old at the time, and when they had conflicts, they fought together. , No one will let anyone else, then it is not very good.

Haili thought for a while, "People say, First? Love is hard to forget. When you can talk about Martha calmly, it means that you have grown up and matured."

Rui Fan hugged her and sighed softly.

Back in Los Angeles, Rui Fan went into the studio to record songs with his band members.

Hai Li followed him to the recording studio every day. In the first few days, she was quite interested in learning about the process of recording songs. book.

The sound engineer was very curious and asked her what she was looking at, and she turned the cover over: "Basic Quantum Mechanics", and the sound engineer never asked her any more.

Recording songs is quite boring and hard work. I often stay for 10 hours at a time. I record repeatedly, every sentence, every word, and every word has to be perfect. If Fan Ruifan is not satisfied at all, he has to start all over again.

After a day of recording like this, I was exhausted.

"I didn't expect your job to be like this—" Haili drove, and Rui Fan sat on the passenger seat a little tired.

"What?" he asked, frowning.

"It's very boring, you have to do repetitive work over and over again, I mean, is it necessary to be so demanding? You make yourself so tired, and you also make others very tired."

"Everything should be the best possible, so that when you look back later, you can proudly say, I tried my best and I did a good job."

Hai Li agreed, "You're right." She was also curious, "Is it like this when filming?"

"Basically. For every shot you see, the actors actually perform it more than 10 times, sometimes more. A typical movie is 120 minutes long and it's pretty long, right?"

She nodded, "Hmm."

"The length of useful footage obtained by the director is about 5 times the length of the film, sometimes more. It may take 20 hours of material, and in the end it can only be cut for 120 minutes."

Haili suddenly realized, "So that's how it is! No wonder a movie sometimes takes half a year to shoot, it must be very hard." She has been to Rui Fan's location, but she didn't actually stay there for a whole day, and she didn't actually watch it. Been to the real workflow.

Rui Fan shrugged, "If you get used to it, it won't be very hard."

There is a lot hidden behind this statement.He has been acting in front of the camera since he was 12 years old, it is his job and the source of income to support himself and his family.

Hai Li stopped the car on the side of the road, Rui Fan looked at her puzzled, "Why did you stop here?"

She turned sideways and kissed him, "honeybear, be nice to yourself."

Hai Li and Rui Fan are together again.

Helen didn't even ask, she was very calm.

Or tell the maid not to let Mr. Phoenix go upstairs.

But if she's not at home, Hailey will still let him go up, and it's actually impossible for the maid to restrain Hailey.

Helen didn't really fire the maid either.

So the mother and daughter played a tacit game. Helen usually had an expression of "I won't expose you but don't go too far", while Haili said "I'm pretty good".

Helen still doesn't see anyone often, she doesn't know where she's gone, and sometimes she's not at home for two full days on weekends, so Haili stays with Ruifan for the night.

Rui Fan will now tell her about things before she was 7 years old.Phoenix's family name was originally Bottom. Before the age of 7, Rui Fan moved with his parents in various cities in South America, and moved more than 40 times.

His parents joined a cult called "Son of God" and have been doing missionary work in various places without any fixed income.The church wants you to donate, don’t talk about rewards for giving, just give them the basic materials to survive, and the reason why Arlene gave birth to 8 children in 5 years is because the church says that everything is natural and God’s will, so Contraception is not allowed.

After Arlene became pregnant with Summer, she finally realized that the children might starve to death in a foreign country, so she resolutely left the church and returned to the United States, where she gave birth to her youngest child, Summer.

And because he is too poor and has no time and energy to take care of the children, Rui Fan has been taking care of Rain and Jacques since he was about 5 years old. He has no toys, no picture books that children have, and he has never been to kindergarten.

After returning to the United States, because I was too poor, I went to school intermittently. When I was about 10 years old, I brought my younger siblings to perform on the street. It can be said that it was very difficult.

Hai Li was dumbfounded when she heard that: Helen is simply a saint in comparison.Well, they didn't worry about money, so maybe they really couldn't understand how bad Rui Fan's childhood was, but it's very uncomfortable for a child to not get the education he deserves when he should go to school. Normal.

Rui Fan did not receive systematic education in school. After becoming a child star, he had an income, so he first allowed his younger siblings to go to school; he studied in high school for a short period of two years, and he had to work during the period. He often read books in the studio , doing homework, and reading all rely on self-study, so when he encounters compound sentences or too long words, he can't read them out, and sometimes it will cause obstacles for him to read the lines.

Hai Li will also talk to Rui Fan about the things before they came to America.They lived in a big house in Berlin, and when they went on vacation, they would go to some castle in the suburbs, but she was too young to remember many things.

dad?Of course there was a father, but she couldn't figure out whether they were divorced or whether her father had passed away.

Dad dotes on her very much, he often hugs her and takes her on horseback.Dad looks good too!He is a very playful young man with a sunny smile.

"Do you miss him?" Rui Fan hugged her on his lap, with his chin on her shoulder, and asked softly.

"Think about it sometimes. But I don't know if it would be better with him... I mean, you see, Helen doesn't express her feelings, so I've been wondering, maybe Daddy will marry her , also because she is beautiful."

"So—do you hate her? Do you hate Helen?"

"No, why should I hate her? She has thought of everything for me. I can live this kind of life all the time because of her. Actually," she shrugged, "you don't think she will Communicating with me is a big problem, isn't it? But I still like her temperament that doesn't talk nonsense, I can take care of myself, as long as I have enough money, but she always doesn't Lack of money. This state is really perfect!"

Rui Fan was speechless and thought: You are so right!

Helen has a fairy-like elegant beauty that floats away from the world, and it seems that she shouldn't worry about these trivial matters, so she doesn't ask anything; Take care of yourself with the help of someone.

What kind of parents create what kind of child, and Haili has grown up perfectly into a "good girl" who doesn't need Helen to worry about it. She has no crooked looks, no cynicism, and even no pressure.

This is really enviable!

Hai Li is sometimes very curious about Rui Fan.

Ordinarily, his growing environment and childhood experience would easily make him a child with low self-esteem, but it may also be the experience of becoming a child star that prevented him from becoming low-self-esteem. Even if a person who made it in Hollywood is not a narcissist, It must also be a person who has a full and correct understanding of himself. A child with low self-esteem is not suitable for Hollywood, and he will get bored with this profession early on. Therefore, the profession of "child star" is very mobile. You must be very smart and confident to be able to keep going.

Hayley studied Robert Downey Jr., Martha Plimpton, Rui Fan, and other actors who were still struggling in this industry from child stars to adults, and found that child stars can be roughly divided into three types: one One is like Martha, whose parents, no matter they are in the industry or not, are smart and resolute, know what they want, and make a career plan at a very young age; Alcoholism and crazy parties, premature collapse, few people can stand up again, most people are consumed in the endless cycle of drug use-detoxification-relapse-detoxification again;

There is also a talented child star like Rui Fan who comes from a poor background. If they can persevere, they can guarantee that they will not collapse, not to mention big hits, at least they can develop steadily and not become another shooting star.
