American winner takes all

Chapter 92 Departure to San Mateo
In the blink of an eye, there is not much time left in the summer vacation.

"Action!"

The recorder who was playing the game quickly left the camera.

In an empty and deserted sand dune area, in front of a red BMW BMW R 100 GS motorcycle, Liv Tyler stared affectionately at Ethan, who was holding the motorcycle and standing in front of the motorcycle. Her pure black hair tips were messy and fluttering in the wind. Touching Ethan's nose.

"Sneeze!" Ethan couldn't help sneezing.

"Click!" David Fincher behind the monitor couldn't help shouting.

The makeup artist immediately came forward to tidy up Liv's hair.

It was the filming location for the MV titled "Crazy".

After an afternoon of shooting, it was time for the last shot. After the shooting was completed, Ethan extended an invitation to Liv.

"Next week is my adult birthday party. I will inform you of the specific location in advance."

Next week, Ethan will celebrate his birthday.

Some states in the United States stipulate that 21 years of age is considered an adult, but California, like most other states, stipulates that one is an adult.

This means that Ethan has most of the independent civil capacity, can get married, and can apply for various benefits.

It also means no longer relying on Mia’s financial support.But you still can't drink in public until you are 21.

In any case, this is a particularly important thing for Ethan. According to the tradition of BHHS, friends must be invited and a grand party must be held.

"Of course, you can inform me in advance when the time comes. Besides, I may not be in school next semester." Liv said another thing.

When Ethan asked, he learned that she would soon be on the big screen, starring as the second female lead in a psychological thriller, playing a sister.

The gears of fate have begun to turn.

"But I will come back during the break between filming." Liv nodded and continued.

"Then if I call you, will you answer the phone?" she tried again.

·
"I can feel that Liv has a crush on you." On the eve of the filming crew finishing work, music video director David Fincher chatted with Ethan.

"This is too normal." Ethan seemed to take it for granted.

This is indeed very normal in the eyes of Ethan today. After all, with his current state, appearance and figure, which girl would not be confused by it.

At least from this aspect, it is a VERY EASY game difficulty.

Ethan naturally hopes the same is true for rugby.Nowadays, those opponents in the "South Coast" league are not even as good as Garden High School in the Sacred Valley. They cannot pose any threat to themselves at all. With full firepower, Ethan is confident to kill the game in the first half.

Something to keep an eye on are the powerhouse teams in other states.

This season the team will compete against strong opponents from four states in the Pacific Region, including Utah, Hawaii, Nevada, and Arizona. After an autumn selection process, the team will eventually have a spot to enter the National Championship Cup.

In rankings such as "High School Sports" magazine, Ethan has now rushed into the top 20 and seems to be at the top level. In fact, Ethan specifically consulted Murphy about the loss of the promotion team in the Pacific District. In terms of rate, BHHS ranks only [-]th from the bottom.

Ethan believes that odds are the most accurate way to measure a team's strength. After all, this is made with real money.

In other words, in the Pacific Division alone, there are 20 teams ranked ahead of BHHS, at least as far as the public thinks they are.

Nationally, BHHS cannot even crack the top [-].

As for the reason, you can also see it through the odds.

In a bet on whether Ethan O'Connor will transfer to another school, the option to stay at BHHS is the one with the highest odds, and the odds are far ahead.

In other words, everyone can see that the team is holding back Ethan O'Connor.

As for why Ethan chose to stay at BHHS, there was really nothing he could do about it. BHHS really gave him too much.

Secondly, Ethan's playing style has also changed, and he has begun to focus more on the team. He already knows enough about his BHHS teammates that he can only start from scratch if he transfers to another school.

Moreover, there are also a series of influencing factors such as "whether he can be the main force", "whether the run-in with teammates is smooth" and "whether he will move".

All things considered, I will stay at BHHS.

"But having said that, there are many male actors, and there are also many handsome actors. But you are still the only handsome actor who dominates the football field. You are still the only one in the world who is a sunny and resolute athlete-style actor. ." David Fincher suddenly reminded.

"As long as there are enough prefixes, you can become the unique one." Ethan shook his head and laughed.

Ethan knew that compared with his exaggerated rugby talent, his talent in acting could only be described as mediocre.

As for these performance opportunities, he really doesn't like them.

In his eyes, there is only one real opportunity, a big ship named "Titanic" that set sail on the screen at the end of 1997...

But it doesn’t have much to do with who I am now.

Even if Lisa is DiCaprio's agent, even if DiCaprio encounters an unexpected disaster "in the event" before next year's casting, such as being hit by a car and breaking his leg, falling while walking and losing his face, etc., she can take over and take over, but she can't. Become a leading man.

To the extent that James Cameron strives for excellence in his movies, he would not choose himself even if he was pointed at a gun.

So, don’t think too much about it.David Fincher then mentioned new MV opportunities to Ethan. Currently, David Fincher has collaborated with many well-known artists, such as Mr. Right, The Rolling Stones, and Madonna.

Ethan agreed to this, and this time he got a taste of the sweetness of shooting with Liv Tyler. He exchanged his lumpy body and cheeks for some pocket money, and by the way, he met these well-known pop music singers in person, which was not a bad thing.

·
Late at night a week later, the bar terrace was in a mess, with cream cakes scattered on the ground, beer poured out, and disposable wine glasses crushed, all indicating that a party had just taken place here.

Ethan sent away the last guest Thomas, took off his tie, and lay down on the sofa a little slumped.

He felt a more real fatigue than on the court.

This party was Ethan's 18-year-old coming-of-age party. Ethan invited all his teammates, friends, close female classmates, and even Penny came...

Not far away, Catherine looked worried at the pile of gifts scattered on the ground like a hill. Just opening these gifts would take a lot of time.

"I'll leave these gifts to you. You can resell the more valuable ones to a second-hand store, and the money you get will be used for your living expenses in New Haven." Ethan said at this time.Catherine used to resell her father's vinyl records in a second-hand store, so she should be familiar with this.

In fact, he held this party just for these gifts.Otherwise, we wouldn’t have called so many people over.

Ethan also had an unexpected gain this time. Lisa actually gave him a BMW trot, plus the driver's license he had obtained before, which solved Ethan's travel problem in time.

Thank you to the big sister on the list for your full support.

Then Ethan's cell phone rang, and it was Robert Greenberg, who had been in contact with him before. He apologized for not being able to attend Ethan's coming-of-age ceremony in person.

Ethan thanked him for the gift.

When the person arrives, the gift arrives, and that is enough.

Robert Greenberg, the founder of the SKECHERS shoe and clothing company, currently can only be "friends" with Ethan as an amateur player. Moreover, Ethan has not shown a crushing level of strength. There are prerequisites for deeper business cooperation.Therefore, the communication between the two is more casual, and is still in the "browsing" stage.

After hanging up the phone, Ethan stood up and stretched.In a few days, Catherine will leave for New Haven to start her college career. William will also return to Stanford. Mia will report to school with Catherine, but Ethan will not go with her. He still has preseason games to play.

The preseason is a warm-up match for the team. This is not organized by CIF, but a competition between schools to test the status of the new lineup.

As the new Southern California overlord who overthrew Santa Ana, BHHS naturally received invitations from many schools, and Thomas finally selected three opponents.The first warm-up match was an away game against San Mateo and Unipero Serra High School.
As for BHHS's new lineup, in addition to the already confirmed Albert and Cooper, there are many potential candidates. John has been sending people around this summer to strengthen the lineup.

And at the birthday party just now, John confirmed it to Ethan personally.

Munster, a running back from Caval City High School, is willing to transfer in the new school year.

In other words, at the beginning of the new season, the Normans will welcome three new teammates.

·
In front of the BHHS school, in front of the yellow campus bus.

"Have you brought everything?"

"Um"

"Does the phone have battery?"

"Ah."

"Call me back when you get there, do you hear me clearly?"

"Ah."

Catherine kept asking questions, and Ethan kept nodding.

Catherine is leaving tomorrow, but Ethan has to leave for San Francisco today. When Ethan comes back, Catherine is already on the east coast.

This is the time to part ways.

However, the two of them did not feel the slightest sadness before bidding farewell.

After all, technology is very advanced now, and Ethan specially bought a mobile phone for Catherine, so the communication between the two is quite convenient.

And it was obviously Catherine who was going to travel far away, but in the end it was Catherine who kept explaining things to Ethan.

This may be the usual state of SOCD patients.

Ethan nodded one last time, touched Catherine's head, and then turned to get in the car.

·
San Francisco, San Mateo.

"When will you come back tonight?" Mother stood at the door and shouted.

The young man carrying a schoolbag hurriedly pushed the bicycle out: "Today's training time will be extended, and the opponent is the champion of Southern California. I'm afraid I won't get home until late at night..."

When he spoke, he was still in the courtyard. After he finished speaking, he had already ridden out more than ten feet.

"what's for dinner?"

"I'm going to be late, Mom." Tom Brady didn't care to say more and stepped on the pedal with both feet...

　Four chapters are expected today.
