American winner takes all

Chapter 85 You don’t want to be rejected by the program team, right?

There are many film art schools in the United States, some of which have serious academic qualifications, such as the American Film Institute, New York University Tisch School of the Arts, University of Southern California School of Cinematic Arts, Chapman University Dodge School of Cinematic Arts, etc.

Others are for-profit training schools, such as the Hollywood Academy of Performing Arts on Fifth Avenue in Los Angeles and Success Studio on Wilshire Boulevard.

"How come I've never heard of the name The Theater of Arts?"

Next door to Ethan's room, Charlize was sitting on the bed looking a little doubtful.

"You've only been in Los Angeles for a few days, so it's normal that you don't know this place. Even if you don't know this place, you should have heard of Clint Eastwood, right?" Ethan said casually, watching "Seinfeld" being played on the TV. replied.Before "Friends" was officially aired, this was the most popular sitcom among American audiences.

It was Lisa's idea to let Charlize enter the Art Theater. She was relatively familiar with the school, and Lisa had sent Little Plum there before.

Charlize will take a two-year acting course here.

Even the official graduation time is the same as Ethan's, but compared to serious schools, this kind of acting school does not require any mandatory time in school. I don't know how long Charlize can stay in school in two years.

Anyway, Ethan was just following orders and asked Charlize to nod and agree.

"Okay then." Charlize put one foot on the bed, picking at her toenails whose nail polish had long faded into scattered patches of color.

Her requirements are not high, she just needs to be formal enough.

"Besides..." Ethan stood up and looked around the room. Charlize didn't have many things, most of them were some clothes, not even any decent cosmetics.

"I think you still need some daily necessities. I will take you to the supermarket where Mia works tomorrow." Ethan took the initiative to make the decision for Charlize.

In any case, Charlize has left her acting career to herself, and Lisa will reimburse all of it, and by the way, she can give something to Catherine, William and even Mia.

"No need." Charlize sneered.

"Of course, I am responsible for your three meals a day, food, clothing, housing and transportation. I will let you shine in my hands, and one day, you will leave your own fingerprints on the Hollywood Walk of Fame." Ethan corrected.

Ethan has made up his mind. Charlize Theron’s first shot must be fired. Otherwise, how will his career as a “manager” start?How can I sit on the red sofa in the future?

Early the next morning, Charlize actually discovered that Ethan had kept his promise, and Catherine had indeed prepared breakfast for herself. Although it was not as rich as Ethan, it was exactly the same as William's.

Charlize naturally didn't know that all her expenses were paid by Lisa in the end, and thought it was all Ethan's arrangement.

From this point of view, I saw the right person.

Charlize took a deep breath in her heart. She could only blame her for her bad luck before. She was somewhat touched by this kind of normal care.

"Go buy some papaya today. Catherine and Charlize should eat more." Ethan said seriously.

At this time, four people, including Charlize, were sitting around the square table in Ethan's room. Although it was cramped, they could still sit down.

Catherine kicked Ethan under the table.

Of course, Ethan knew that papaya was useless and could only be used as a placebo. If he really wanted to see the effect, he would have to kill the chicken himself to promote blood circulation.

At this moment, Charlize, who was lowering his head, suddenly sniffed.

"It's just sand in the eyes." When she realized that everyone was looking at her, Charlize quickly explained.

·
"Drip, drip, drip..."

"It's IBM's electronic barcode system." William, holding a plastic bag, observed the square electronic screen next to his mother.

In the 70s, this system began to gradually become popular in the United States.

As for Ethan, he put the scanned items into plastic bags one by one.William had nothing to do in the morning, so he asked him to go shopping together. As for Catherine, she naturally went to Jennifer's house to make up money.

From toothbrushes, towels, razors, Reckitt Benckiser facial cleanser, men's and women's underwear, nylon tear-off socks of different colors and shades, to flour, milk, eggs, vegetables, corn and potatoes, and of course a lot of steaks of all kinds. I bought a lot of pots and pans, firewood, rice, oil, salt, and even a "magic carpet" for ladies at night that I couldn't think of.

Not to mention that there is not enough for Charlize alone, and there is more than enough for Ethan and the whole family. He even brought all the things that he needs to prepare when he takes Catherine to go to college and when William returns to school.

The checkout alone took more than 20 minutes, and finally Ethan signed his name on the bill.

American credit cards do not require the use of passwords. The most important point is actually historical reasons. In the era when credit cards were just launched, online payment had not yet appeared.

As for the issue of fraudulent use...if the credit card is really stolen, the bank will only allow the cardholder to bear a maximum loss of US$50 after verification.

Ethan signed his name and went to the bank to reserve it later. Lisa's handling of this business was similar to "intimate payment".

After settling the bill, the two brothers chatted briefly with their mother for a while. At this time, their mother's colleagues also gathered around, their words full of praise for Ethan and their envy for Mia.

"Mia, thank you for giving birth to such a good son. I think it won't be long before you can retire."

"Ethan, do you have a girlfriend? My daughter is the same age as you. Can I introduce you two to her later?"

"Have you coveted Ethan so early? Don't think too easily. I meet Hollywood stars every day."

Mia's aunt colleagues kept talking to each other, but Charlize and William were completely left alone.

Mia took the time to pull Ethan aside alone, and first asked Ethan about the credit card.Ethan only said that he did it himself, and no matter how much the expenses were, he would reimburse Lisa in Charlize's name.This is considered to be a fool.

Then Mia talked about Charlize's problem.

"I can't control if you like to play with fire, but Catherine must be your wife." Mia nodded Ethan's head.

It seemed like he was given an ultimatum, but in the end he still favored Ethan.

How else can I say she is my biological mother?
Of course, there are also objective reasons why American parents do not interfere too much with their girls.

When Ethan and the other three finally walked out of the supermarket, all three of them were carrying four or five bulging large plastic bags.

"Let's drive Mia's car back." Ethan thought for a while and said.

In the end, Ethan decided to let William drive his mother's old Nissan to send the things back, and he would not follow him back. Of course, Charlize would follow him.

"Where are you going?" Charlize, who was walking behind, couldn't help but ask.

Ethan, who was walking in front, turned around.

"You don't think that just buying some toiletries is enough? This is just the beginning."

Ethan took Charlize to Century City in the afternoon. Although none of the big-name stores entered, Ethan's spending was still generous.

He let Charlize try on whatever he liked, and he bought two thousand dollars in clothes and shoes alone in one afternoon.

In the evening, he went to buy a lot of cosmetics, and Ethan also chose some extra for Catherine. After dinner, he took Charlize to do her hair.

With real money thrown in, Charlize has transformed from an ugly duckling, and her hot girl outfit perfectly accentuates her slender figure.

Her hair also had extra long hair extensions. Ethan really didn't like her short hair style. After such a change, she felt much more comfortable, and her appearance was on par with Catherine's.

If it hadn't been too late, Ethan might have taken her to "Eternal Love" tonight and let her try out what it was like to be locked up in a cell, or maybe cosplay a Christmas deer or something.

The two of them were sitting in the car on the way back, and Ethan began to complain that taxis in Los Angeles were difficult to get. Compared to the size of Los Angeles, the number of taxis was too few and very expensive.Decided to put the driving license test that Lisa had proposed before on the agenda.

Charlize was looking out the window at this time. Through the window, she could see the gorgeous lights of the main city of Los Angeles in the distance. At the same time, through the reflection in the car, she could also see her face at this moment.

Red lips, white teeth, and long golden hair parted in the middle, adding a bit of cuteness to her.

In fact, when she was in New York, she was quite confident about her appearance, but when she arrived in Los Angeles, she saw that beautiful girls from all over the world were gathering here, and she became the least conspicuous one. This greatly affected her self-esteem. Got some hits.

And now, Cinderella puts on the glass slipper.

She turned her head and saw Ethan looking at her.

He leaned forward with a smile and kissed Ethan on the cheek.

Her impression of Ethan is not bad, even very good. She likes Ethan's appearance, and when she agreed to move here, she was somewhat mentally prepared. In addition, Ethan's behavior today is quite gentlemanly, generous and generous. The generosity made her fall in love with him.

Considering his relationship with the big agent and his age, I don't know how much better he is than those so-called producers who are fat-bellied and talk incoherently.

Charlize already has plans to commit herself to Ethan.

·
Early the next morning, Ethan, who was sleeping soundly, received a particularly special call.

"Our channel is going to invite you to conduct an in-depth player interview program. It will show your life and training through interviews, on-site shooting, and mixed editing of game videos. We will even invite the famous commentator Matt Millen as a guest. How? So, this is the condition I have fought for you for a long time to get..."

Penny Weber, who wanted to send Ethan home before, said as soon as she came up.

"Thank you very much." Ethan smiled.

If he hadn't met Matt Millen, and Matt Millen personally told him the ins and outs of the whole thing, he might have been deceived by this female reporter.

As for why Taili agreed, it was naturally because Lisa had established a relationship in advance.

I have only half a cent to do with you, Penny, so all the credit goes to the real person?

As for why it was Penny who notified him instead of other reporters, Ethan thought that she had interviewed him before, and the interview was pretty good, so the station sent her as the host.

"Well, I'm free this afternoon. You come downstairs to the TV station. I need to communicate with you the specific interview process first." Penny on the other end of the phone said with a smile, probably feeling that she had deceived Ethan.

"Don't be late, I hate it when people are like this." She even said arrogantly when she hung up the phone.

I don’t know if it’s revenge for Ethan’s rejection last time.

"Yes, Ms. Petunia." Ethan hung up the phone.

Considering that he would probably have many opportunities to cooperate with her in the future, Ethan decided to let her understand the rules of the game.

As for the method... Miss reporter, you definitely don’t want to be rejected by the program team, right?
