[American Entertainment] Dance out of my youth

After entering the movie theater, he still couldn't find Grace, so the agent took him to meet people everywhere.When he was finally able to take his seat, he was able to speak to Grace.

Her seat was right behind him, and he sat sideways, turning to look at her.

She was a very pretty girl when she was 11 years old, and she is still very beautiful now. My mother said that mixed-race people are better-looking.The skin color is not fair like that of the European race, but it is also not like the honey yellow or yellowish black of Asians, but yellowish fair.

The eyes are beautiful, big and energetic, which is rare for ordinary people.All actors have to spend hundreds of hours in front of the mirror to learn the "concentrated" "stare". Without special practice, the eyes will always be a little "flying". In movies and TV dramas, the actors' eyes are fluttering, which will make the audience think "what the hell are you playing, can you be more serious".

So she probably learned it too?But she is not an actress, why should she learn this?

He finds it a little strange, but enjoys it: her eyes seem so intent, that it gives him the illusion that she's only looking at him.

She handed him a bottle of mineral water, "Drink water."

He naturally took the mineral water bottle, unscrewed the cap, and took a sip.

"Drink more."

I took a few more sips.After drinking it, I thought: Huh?What seems wrong?

But what is wrong?He couldn't remember again.

"It's my first premiere, what's it like on the red carpet?" she asked.

"Just... that's it." He tried his best to appear as calm as "it's not a big deal". It's not the first time he's walked the red carpet, so he doesn't feel nervous anymore. "Get used to it."

"Are you used to it?"

"Getting used to it." He loosened his tie.

"You look so good in a suit." She said with a smile, "If you walked towards me dressed like this, I might not even recognize it as you."

"How do you like it?"

"I like it very much, it's very good, it suits you very well. Then you won't be that little boy wearing a shirt or a T-shirt." She thought, sure enough, "people want clothes", of course he is not a "little" boy, no matter what He could be called a "big boy", but he still looks very young, like 14 years old, not 16 years old.

Tom muttered unhappily, "I'm not young anymore, I'm already 16 years old! 16 and a half years old!"

"Ah! Are you 16 and a half years old!" She pretended to be surprised, "You really have grown up!"

—she's still teasing me, isn't she?

But there's really no way to be angry with her at all.

The premiere was mainly about the two leading actors, and the focus of the publicity was on Naomi and Ivan, and the eldest son was brought along.He had such a dazzling performance on the big screen for the first time, and the agent was very surprised.As for the movie, he and his family have already watched it, but Grace hasn't seen it yet, so after watching the movie, he was anxious to know Grace's opinion.

"It's very beautiful. I didn't expect that the subject of natural disasters could be shot like this." She replied in a down-to-earth manner, "Naomi's acting is really good, but it hurts too much."

"What about me?" he asked eagerly.

"You're fine too, you're awesome!"

He's satisfied. "Did you like my performance? I mean—er, I mean, Lucas. No, I mean—" He suddenly froze, unable to get his words right.

"You shouldn't ask me if I like it, first of all, you have to know if you like it or not. You want to be an actor, don't you?"

He nodded, "The career of an actor seems to be more suitable for me."

"Then you have to think 'I am the best, I am the best', and other people's opinions should not be in your consideration."

"Really?" he said ignorantly.

"Of course! What film critics say is just to affirm your hard work, or talent, as long as you know that you are the best, that's fine."

"You mean, confident?"

"Correct."

"I can't say, I'm quite confident in myself, but sometimes, many times, I think about those failed auditions." He pouted, "I don't like failure."

"No one likes to fail. You can't get every job you audition for, though, do you? Do you have that much time? You're still in school. By the way, what school are you in now? Or is it Wimbledon? ?”

"It's not at Wimbledon anymore, it's at BRIT, the British School of Performing Arts and Technology."

"Ah! A school specializing in acting?"

"Correct."

He told her about the new school, that he had made friends who could talk to her very well at school, and that he had become friends who could talk about everything; Very cute; talking about interesting things he encountered while working abroad.

He wanted to tell her a lot, and he didn't know why, but he wanted to tell her everything.

I can talk a lot with my good friend Harrison, but Harrison doesn't seem to be comparable to Grace.That's different.

At the celebration party afterwards, Tom also stayed with Grace as much as possible.They discussed all kinds of food on the buffet table, and informed each other about the food they liked and the food they didn't like. Grace liked sashimi and shrimp, and Tom liked all kinds of small desserts; I like freshwater fish, of course, because freshwater fish has small thorns; there are almost no fruits that I don’t like. Grace said that you should try durian. If you can eat durian, then there is really no fruit that you don’t like.

Tom secretly remembered the name durian, and planned to buy it and taste it when he returned to London.

He likes her voice, soft and pleasant, not the clear and clear voice of a girl, sweet and soft, even if she reads with a math book for an hour, he can still listen to it.

He liked the little whale earrings on her earlobes, and when her head swayed slightly, the little whale swayed slightly beside her neck.

And her smile, he couldn't describe it accurately, she had a strange and special aura that attracted him very much.

The whole person is capitalized "cute".

He couldn't help liking her.

Still mothers know their cubs best.

Back at the hotel, Nikki asked him, "You like Grace, don't you?" Although it was a question, the tone was very positive.

Tom Holland was very sleepy at first, and wanted to go back to his room quickly, wash up and sleep.When he heard his mother's question, he immediately became sober, "I'm not, I didn't—" Then he asked in confusion, "Really? Am I?"

Nikki smiled secretly, "To be honest, I now regret having to send you to some boys' school. If you had always been in that kind of mixed-sex school, maybe you wouldn't be so stupid."

"Mom!" He glared at Nikki: Am I still your own son?

"Oh! I was right!" Nicky smiled and put her arms around her son's shoulders, "There's nothing to be shy about. Grace is a good girl, she's lovable, and you like her. It's nothing, it's normal."

Tom blushed, "But I—" Is this "like"?He was confused and bewildered. "I don't really understand..." He glanced at Nikki shyly.

"We can stay in Los Angeles for a few more days, just treat it as your early vacation. You go ask her out to play."

"I have no idea--"

"Tell me, what do you want to know?"

"She might think... I'm still a child." He lowered his head and whispered.

"Well, it's a bit." Nikki looked at him, "She's a little too tall."

"It's because I'm too short." He was discouraged.Grace is half a head taller than him, and he looks more like a younger brother no matter how you look at it.

"Height is not a problem, besides, you are not yet 18 years old, you will still grow taller." Nikki hurriedly comforted him.

—I like Grace?

After Nikki left, Tom was in a daze for a long time, thinking about this question all the time.

At noon on Wednesday, Grace picked up Tom at the hotel in her own car.

Awards season is busy with the two lead actors, and Tom has some interviews, so he doesn't have a lot of work, so he can find time to hang out.

It didn't seem to be a "date" in the strict sense, but Tom Holland was still so nervous that he didn't know what to say.

"Hi." He went downstairs early and waited in the hotel lobby.Seeing Grace enter the hall, she jumped up and waved her hand clumsily.

"Let's go." She tilted her head like an American.

Tom quickly followed.

"Where do you want to go? Have you been to the Walk of Fame? Hollywood Hills? Chinese Theater? Disney Parks?"

Must be teasing him about being underage again, and he's going to just ignore the last spot. "I've been all over Hollywood. Didn't you say you'd take me to see Pasadena? To your school?"

"What's so interesting about the school? It's so boring!" She opened the door of the passenger seat for him, went around and got into the driver's seat, "Let's go to Pasadena first. In fact, cities in the United States are similar, or go to some Take a look at the landmarks, take pictures, and feel like a 'tourist'."

"I forgot to take the camera!" He shouted angrily.

"I have a camera." She stepped on the accelerator, "I'll take you to the dessert shop I often go to, have some desserts, and buy two drinks. Do you like tea, coffee, or juice? Americans like coffee very much , but not much tea. But we can go to the drink shop opened by the Chinese to buy fruit juice.”

He obediently agreed.

It's nothing bad, and Nikki won't let him drink coffee or anything, the British prefer tea.

He couldn't help asking: "What if you want to drink tea?"

Grace glanced at him with a smile, "Stupid! There are a lot of Chinese in Pasadena, and there are tea drinks in Chinese tea rooms and drink shops." This child is a bit strange, why did he suddenly care about these trivial matters?But he was a talkative person, he was a natural talker, so it would not be surprising if he was the talker.
