[American Entertainment] Crazy ex-boyfriend
Chapter 30 Lemme Get That (2)
Even Savannah looks further ahead than she does: Rui Fan is not at the point where she has to choose between her and her family,? But what if?
She suddenly froze.
How can something like "love" be compared with family?
What about her?What if one day she had to choose between her mother and Rui Fan?
God!
She was upset,? Don't want to think about it anymore.
Rui Fan also looked distraught,? "I'm sorry, babybear,? I shouldn't have told you this,? But I... I don't know who else to talk to." Even close friend Keanu,? He also I don't want to discuss this with him.The relationship between Keanu and his mother Patricia is also very close,? But he can leave Toronto at the age of 17,? He can continue to take care of his mother and sisters after earning money,? Keanu has no such troubles, So I probably can't understand his feelings for his mother and family.
At the age of 15, Iris sent him to see a psychiatrist. The psychiatrist said that he was emotionally kidnapped by Arlene,? He should learn to think for himself. At that time, he didn’t understand what that meant,? Now, he knows that Not a normal family relationship.
Parents should think about their children, sacrifice for them, and not ask for anything in return,? Children should not be a tool for making money.No one he knew had parents like his parents—pressing at every step, forcing him to breathe.The reason why he hangs around parties and nightclubs is that he doesn't want to go home too early.
Arlene probably realized that the older he was, the more he wanted to escape from the family, so she always reminded him of his responsibilities more and more urgently, and didn't want to let him go.
Hailey leaned close to him, put her face against his cheek, and said softly, "I'm so glad you said this to me. I can't give you any advice. You have to figure out what kind of life you want, any decision, It's all about 'I?want', not what Arlene wants."
She went upstairs to change.
Rui Fan continued to be upset, he didn't notice that Helen had already gone downstairs and sat at the dining table.
"Rui Fan." Helen called him suddenly.
He looked up suddenly.
"Don't make Hai Li worry about your family, she can't handle those well." Helen looked calm.
"I didn't, I just wanted to talk to her."
"In this world, no one can live without leaving. If it's just a matter of money, try to make as much money as possible."
Rui Fan smiled wryly, "It's not just about money."
Helen looked at him and smiled: "You are wrong. Everything can be solved with money. If you think money can't solve it, it must be that the amount of money is not enough. Go back and think carefully."
She stood up.
Rui Fan also hurriedly stood up.
Hailey changed her clothes and came down.
He took a cardboard box in his hand and handed it to him: "This is the microphone I bought in Paris, Germany Neumann? I wanted to give it to you on your birthday, but I don't really need to wait until your birthday to give it to you. .”
Rui Fan urged his agent Iris to find a suitable script.
Iris learned that he had moved out in disguise, and hoped that he could get rid of the pressure of the family, or at least part of it.
She has taken care of many child stars, and no one has shouldered the pressure of the whole family like Rui Fan, and this child is too precocious, intelligent and sensitive, always used to solving problems by himself, and rarely troubles her, which is even more distressing.
Iris has been in this business for a long time, and Iris has seen everyone.Rui Fan is not the first child actor to be regarded as a cash cow by his parents, but like him, almost no one has to bear the burden of his younger siblings, because his father is not often at home, Rui Fan is actually the male head of the family.
He's not like Keanu.If it weren't for his younger sister Jin's leukemia, Keanu's financial pressure would not be too great. From the diagnosis to the bone marrow transplant, Jin spent hundreds of thousands of dollars, which is an average cost for this kind of disease. With his salary, there is no pressure .
Rui Fan's salary also increased slightly after he was nominated for Best Supporting Actor at the Oscars. It was also because after that, he had either a supporting role or a literary film. The salary was limited, and it was impossible for him to make films for 12 months a year. exhausted him.
Now, he finally felt that he was trying to get out of Arlene's control, and Iris began to strive for job opportunities for him. It would be better to cut down on literary films and play more leading roles, so that the salary would definitely be higher, which would also be beneficial. his career development.
Keanu felt that he was doing well now.
They lived next door, so they could stand in the corridor and yell, and they didn't need to call him.
When going out to play, Rui Fan doesn't have to just get high and have to leave.
Rui Fan made one of the most important decisions of his life so far during Hailey's two weeks in Paris, and Keanu also had to marvel at the power of love.He vaguely knew that because Hai Li had left early, Rui Fan panicked and became bold enough to go to a showdown with Arlene.Well, although I learned later that this "showdown" was not very thorough, it was still the first step on the moon and deserves encouragement.
Hai Li spends 2 or 3 days a week with Rui Fan. Rui Fan is very busy, and Iris takes him around to social parties and auditions; Hai Li is also very busy.
Savannah went shopping with her about once a week, and once she talked about the Los Angeles riots in late April and early May, her face turned pale.
"You're not in Los Angeles, you don't know, the city was under martial law, people were looting everywhere, burning buses and shops, my God! It was Wednesday, and all the schools closed at 7 pm. Mom was terrified and called Tell me not to go anywhere, just stay in the dormitory."
"I know this, we closed the school too, but I had already returned to the apartment at that time. There were also riots in San Francisco, and the TV station was also broadcasting."
Speaking of this, the two girls were still a little scared.Although both of them were actually in a safe area and did not see the scene of the riot with their own eyes, the news was broadcast 24 hours a day on TV. More than 50 people were killed in the riot, and the National Guard, the US Army, and the Marine Corps were all dispatched. , Martial law throughout the city of Los Angeles, the riot centered in the area from Koreatown to Florence, about 1 people were arrested.
The riot lasted for 4 days, until the evening of Saturday, May 5nd.
During the period, Berkeley University insisted on normal classes and was not affected, but the campus police and the local police station were all dispatched to ensure the safety of students and the campus.A lot of people called her to ask about her situation, but Rui Fan didn't call her to ask her.
She suddenly remembered it.Presumably he was in a nursing home then?
When I asked Keanu, Keanu hesitated and said maybe.If you ask again, just say oops, you don’t need to know so clearly.He asked her again why she suddenly remembered to ask this.
"During the riots, Mom, Bob, Jim, and you all called me to ask about the situation in Berkeley, but he didn't even think of asking me about it." He was very angry.
Keanu just laughed, "I've asked, it means he has asked."
"That's different!"
"You wait for him to come back, you can ask him yourself." Keanu slipped away.
Rui Fan came back at dinner time.
"I didn't eat out, I just thought you were waiting for me." As soon as I entered the room, I hurried over to hug her.
"I didn't eat either. I'll go out and eat some later." Haili pushed him away and said disgustedly, "You have to change your clothes."
"I'll change now." He took off his shirt, trousers, and sneakers.
"Go take a shower." She smiled and pushed him.
"together?"
"No, I've washed it. Hurry up, I'm very hungry and want to go down to eat early."
He picked her up, "No, you have to wash it again."
She screamed and was carried into the bathroom.
"Back then—well, I was in a nursing home. No phone calls, only half an hour a day for visits. Keanu told me you were fine, so I was relieved. What about you? Did you think of me then?"
"Uh... no."
"Oh!" Rui Fan sighed softly, "It really makes me sad! Have you really not thought about me?"
"I'm too busy to think about you, or anyone."
Forehead against forehead, nose tip against nose tip, "babybear, it's my fault, I won't let you down again."
"You have to remember what you said."
"I remember. I just—I don't really like that, it's just too boring sometimes."
"You can go to a psychiatrist and talk to him or her. That's what psychiatrists do."
He smiled bitterly, "I tried. Iris asked me to see a psychiatrist when I was 15."
She gently rubbed his chin with her finger, "honeybear, rich people have psychiatrists."
Rui Fan chuckled, "I'm not rich."
"You will have money, money, fame, status, you will have it. You will become a super star, and you may become the president of the United States."
Now Rui Fan couldn't help laughing.
Rain and Jacques often come to the hotel to look for Rui Fan.
Although he didn't blatantly express his support, Jacques agreed with his brother's actions, and secretly told Haili that he would move out when he turned 18.
"I will also make money for my mother," Jacques shrugged. "Rui Fan can't afford the whole family alone. Mom wants a better house. Summer is still young and will live at home for several years."
This is not too much, Haili nodded, "Is Arlene fancy any community? If you don't live at home, she can choose a town or city other than Hollywood, which is not too expensive, and can have a large options.”
Jacques hesitated a little, "Mom wants to live in Beverly Hills."
"Then Rui Fan has to accept a film that is similar to "Point Break". The global box office is 1 million. As the male number one, he gets the prepaid film salary, plus 5% or 7.5% of the box office dividend, then there is 500 million to 700 million, you can buy a house after you get the advance payment."
Isaac told her how to distribute the box office profits. Of course, the film company or the production company took the bulk. Generally, directors also get a fixed director’s fee, which varies from 20 to millions, depending on the budget. Isaac Gram is generally around 50 yuan. If you can take commercial films, the director's salary will be higher, but there are not many such opportunities.
Jacques hasn't accepted any filming contract since he filmed "Parenthood" with Keanu in 89. He doesn't think there are any good roles for young boys, so he doesn't want to continue to be an actor; what Rui Fan means is to let him finish high school first, and then Let him decide for himself.Arlene meant that Jacques could also become a star.
Both boys in the family are talented in acting, and the younger sisters have also played some small roles, but they are not as popular as the boys.But Jacques can say "no", but Rui Fan can't stop. Jacques can be willful because Rui Fan took all the responsibilities.
Hai Li thinks that Rui Fan is very cute. Of course, he is also very tired.
Rain and Jacques have no real concept of "several million salary". After seeing what the check looked like, the guardian Arlene took it away, and then gave him a little pocket money appropriately.The pocket money is also pitifully small, not as much as what his brother gave him.
But they all knew that Haili was born into a wealthy family, and the clothes she wore and used were all expensive, her new car was a BMW, she went to high-end restaurants, and even took them to high-end clubs.
Joaquin secretly said to Haili again: "Mom knew that Rui Fan was staying in the hotel for a long time, she was very angry, and thought he—"
"You think he's being naughty, don't you?"
She suddenly froze.
How can something like "love" be compared with family?
What about her?What if one day she had to choose between her mother and Rui Fan?
God!
She was upset,? Don't want to think about it anymore.
Rui Fan also looked distraught,? "I'm sorry, babybear,? I shouldn't have told you this,? But I... I don't know who else to talk to." Even close friend Keanu,?
