Chapter 132 Did anyone tell you that you don’t know how to send flowers?
At about 8:20 in the evening, Chen An hurried to the restaurant after finishing some business.
Holding the flowers bought from the flower shop next to the hotel, I took the elevator to the restaurant.
He walked up to Theron, who was wearing a beige evening gown, and handed her the flowers as an apology for being late.
Chen An has only bought flowers twice in his life, both times in Hollywood. He doesn't have this habit in China.
"Sorry, I'm late," she said as she handed the flowers in her hand to the other person.
Charlize Theron took the flowers with a smile, "Thank you Hua Chen, you don't have to apologize, I didn't wait long." Then she took the flowers in her hand and looked at them.
"Chen, has anyone ever told you that you don't know how to send flowers?"
"It seems that I sent it to the wrong place. I don't really understand."
Chen An scratched his head speechlessly, pulled open a seat and sat down, saying embarrassedly: "In the Hollywood and European movies I watched, men would give flowers to beautiful ladies during meals, but I didn't expect it to be like this."
Sharon looked at Chen An's frustrated look, held the flowers in her arms and covered her mouth with her hands, and said with a smile: "But I still accept your kindness, Chen, but this pink rose should be given to your lover."
"Yeah, I told the clerk that I was going to a party and was going to be late but there was a girl waiting for me, so she gave me this and said she would make me happy."
"Although the clerk misunderstood, I am still very happy to receive flowers from you, Chen. I don't mind your lateness."
She held the flower in her arms, looked at it, and then gently placed it on the table.
Chen An, who usually only focuses on filming, communicating with the crew and discussing filming with Clint, is seen in her eyes as a relatively silent and gentle Asian except when filming.
I didn't expect there was such a funny side to it. The look of helplessness in explaining made Charlize Theron couldn't help but laugh.
Chen An looked at the other party and seemed to be quite satisfied. He wondered if he had given the right gift. If he had given the wrong gift, why did he look so happy? He didn't understand.
"Please order, Chen. I've been waiting for you to come over." Sitting opposite, Sharon handed Chen An a menu.
Chen An took it and looked at it. It was still the same old dishes, either pasta or steak, with some salad. He then called the waiter, ordered a steak and handed it back to Theron.
After taking the menu, Theron looked at Chen An and asked curiously, "Chen, you just ordered a steak. Do you want a salad?"
"No, I can't eat raw food, even vegetables." Chen An quickly shook his head to refuse.
Chen An couldn't eat this vegetable salad. He just wanted to ask, "Do these foreign barbarians know how to eat? It's better to cook instant noodles than to eat this."
"Drinking then?"
"If you want to drink, that's fine with me."
While ordering food, Charlize Theron asked Chen An if he wanted anything else. Chen An didn't have any requirements. He was used to eating in these Western restaurants and there was nothing delicious anyway.
Not as good as other dedicated BBQ places, huge steaks or BBQ and burgers.
After ordering, Theron handed the menu to the waiter and completed the order.
"Thank you, Chen, for taking care of me during this period. You gave me enough time to adjust and asked me to star in such a good script." After the waiter left, Charlize Theron leaned on the table with her face supported by her hands and expressed her gratitude.
"You are the actor I chose, so I naturally believe that you can do it. If you were chosen by someone else, I would definitely not be so gentle. Hahaha." Chen An is always kind to the actors he personally selected.
Think about it in advance, how big the bowl should be and how big the pot should be, plan ahead, what kind of actor you need, whether it's a vase or just good acting skills, all be prepared in advance.
The reason why Theron was chosen is naturally because she has good acting skills. She was able to win the Oscar for Best Actress at such a young age and was willing to dress up like that, which shows that she is determined to act.
Soon the waiter came over to pour wine for the two of them, and the food would come later.
The two clinked their glasses, took a sip each, and continued to chat about the crew and some insights about the characters. I wanted to ask Chen An, the director and screenwriter.
They kept chatting until the waiter brought the food, then they stopped. Chen An didn't hesitate to cover it up and just showed it to his mouth.
After packing my things and making arrangements for tomorrow's needs, I returned to the hotel, packed up quickly and came here, although I was still late in the end.
After the meal, it was already late, and the two did not continue chatting. There were still filming plans for tomorrow, and as the director and the heroine, they naturally could not delay.
After paying the bill, Chen Anxian stood up and reached out to pull up Theron who was sitting on the seat. Because she had drunk a little bit of wine, her fair face was slightly flushed.
With a beautiful smile on her face, she reached out and held Chen An's hand, stood up, turned around, picked up the flowers Chen An gave her and held them in her arms.
Chen An looked at this scene and didn't say much, just smiled. He almost forgot about this thing.
"Let's go, Chen. I'll have to ask you to be the director tomorrow." Charlize Theron stood up and with her tall figure and a pair of high heels, she looked as tall as Chen An.
They just happened to see each other's eyes and looked at each other for a while. Then, Charlize Theron took Chen An's arm and left the restaurant together with a smile.
After sending the other party to his assistant's car, Chen An waved goodbye and left.
The next day, I arrived at the crew.
Charlize Theron is already lying on the bed having her makeup done, and the rest of the filming will basically take place in this ward.
Except for some outdoor shots of Clint alone and his scenes with Morgan.
After being knocked down by a sneak attack, Charlize Theron was thrown into a chair and became paralyzed. She needed a ventilator to breathe. She also said goodbye to boxing and had no means of treatment.
At first, she still faced it optimistically, chatting with Clint while looking forward to the arrival of her family.
However, her family could not be contacted at all. Clint concealed the news while taking care of Maggie's emotions.
Lying on the bed in front of the camera, Charlize Theron looked weak, but she still smiled and chatted with Clint, and even apologized to Clint for not protecting herself.
For a moment, Clint, who was standing in front of the bed, was suddenly speechless and didn't know what to say.
Despite this, things gradually got better, and after two months of recovery, Maggie was able to be sent to a better hospital.
But tragedies struck one after another. Lying in the new hospital, Charlize Theron finally waited for her family. The family who arrived was extremely happy and even went to Disneyland.
Clint saw them coming and tried to stop them, but was powerless.
Watching the other party enter the ward, Clint, who could only wait outside, watched as Theron's family dealt her the final blow, completely shattering everything she had.
When faced with her mother wanting her property, Theron only asked one question: "Did you see my game?"
But her mother's answer broke her heart. She had never read it at all. Charlize Theron spat out the pen in her mouth in pain and drove them out of the ward.
Because of lying in bed for a long time, her left leg had to be amputated. Lying in bed, Charlize Theron completely collapsed.
He made a request to Clinton who was sitting in front of his window, but Clint was in great pain and unwilling to agree.
Charlize Theron tried to end her life by biting her tongue, but she, who was once invincible in the ring, was no longer able to control her own life.
Finally, Clint said the most heartbreaking words of the whole play: "Okay, I'll unplug your respirator, and then you'll fall asleep, and then I'll give you an injection, and you'll sleep forever!"
I found that this movie has too many elements and it is difficult to explain it specifically, so I just speed it up.
