Chapter 333 "The Godfather"?
Diane laughed:
"There may be men in this world that I can fall in love with, but I haven't found a man I can love forever. I don't know if you are really that confident or just arrogant.
Well, coward, behave yourself later and I'll reward you nicely tonight!"
With a squeak, the car stopped.
Diane touched up her makeup in front of the mirror and said:
"We're here! Clifton's Republic!"
Diane held Wang Yuanchao's hand and walked among the crowd, as if she had already made an appointment with someone.
"Hi, Talia."
Another young woman with thick eyebrows and big eyes!
"Hi, Diane, oh, you are...won't you introduce yourself?"
Diane smiled:
"Adam, a coward."
Wang Yuanchao felt that Diane was picking a fight with him, and it was difficult to explain, so he could only smile and greet the girl named Talia in front of him:
"Adam Wang, nice to meet you."
The young woman said:
"Talia Coppola, nice to meet you too."
After ordering drinks, the two girls excitedly talked about the just-concluded Oscar Awards.
Wang Yuanchao looked around, listened, and occasionally drank with others.
Diane said:
"Adam, you're not interested in movies?"
Wang Yuanchao said:
"how come?"
Taliyah said:
"Because we have been talking until now and you haven't said anything."
Wang Yuanchao smiled and said:
"Listening to beautiful women chatting is a kind of enjoyment, why do we have to talk?"
Diane raised her glass and said:
"You are not only timid, but also hypocritical. Oh my god, why did I agree to go on a date with you? Was it just because of your exotic handsomeness?"
Wang Yuanchao was too lazy to argue with this woman and surrendered:
"Because I'm a musician, okay?"
Taliyah also raised her glass and said:
"Hahaha, Adam does have a different vibe to him, very clean."
Diane retorted:
"You don't look like a musician. Musicians are all like that, with hemp leaves, pills, sexual liberation... You don't look like that at all."
As Diane spoke, she pointed at the band on the stage. The lead singer was standing on a high platform, drawing circles with that thing in his hand, and there was a circle of people cheering below.
No one found it strange, except Wang Yuanchao, who felt that this liberation was truly eye-opening.
But he thought of the song he "wrote" "Just Dance", which seemed a bit like this, so he said:
"When my work comes out, you will know. I don't like to brag, I like to speak with facts."
Diane was surprised:
"Oh~~, are you still going to date me until then? I don't even know when! God, Talia, look at him, he's so good at talking."
Talia disagreed and said:
“I don’t think Adam is the type to tell lies, my brother is the same way.
They all give me that feeling.”
Diane picked up Talia's words and said:
"Well, since Talia is speaking for you, I'll be waiting for your work! By the way, your brother is out filming a movie, isn't he back yet?"
Taliyah said:
“He’s going to travel all the way west from New York, shooting as far as he can. There’s no telling when he’ll be back, maybe half a year!
He invested hundreds of thousands of dollars, and if the film doesn’t turn out well, his company will go bankrupt.”
Listen, an unknown little director, an unknown film, just casually shot, for hundreds of thousands of US dollars!
Movies are too expensive, he can't afford it, so he chose to play music, but even so, it still costs a lot of money.
If converted into Hong Kong dollars, you can make at least 20 high-quality works!
Since we are talking about this topic, Wang Yuanchao asked:
"Oh, has your brother filmed any works before?"
Taliyah said:
"Have you heard of "The Lovers"? This is his most famous movie, and it was nominated for the Palme d'Or!"
As expected, he had never heard of it. Wang Yuanchao shook his head.
Taliyah said:
"It's normal that you haven't heard of it. After all, he's only 30 years old. Still very young, but I believe he will succeed, and so do you."
Diane also raised her glass and said:
"I also believe your brother will succeed. He is Francis Coppola!"
Wang Yuanchao's hand was shaking as he raised his glass. What the hell, this Coppola? When Talia said her last name was Coppola, I should have thought about it this way. The Godfather trilogy! Who doesn't know this person?
The Godfather novels have made the New York Times bestseller list. He read the newspaper on the plane!
So, is The Godfather movie far behind?
Is there any chance to buy the film adaptation rights for the novel? This is "The Godfather"!
It was so hard not to get involved. I had some impression of Diane, and she was similar to the image of Michael Corleone's classmate and wife in The Godfather.
Wang Yuanchao knew that Diane wanted to move to the big screen, and Talia's last name was Coppola! No wonder Diane was on good terms with Talia, after all, her brother was a director and had a film company, right?
I was thinking about it, but I said:
"No, it should be, we will all succeed!"
The two women looked at him in unison and said:
"cheers!"
Perhaps they were chatting, or perhaps Wang Yuanchao had ulterior motives, he took out a Kennedy half dollar (50 cents) coin and said:
"How about we play a little game and drink if we lose?"
Talia said:
"Guess the head or the eagle?"
Diane said:
“How boring.”
Wang Yuanchao quickly moved the coin between his left and right hands and said:
"Guess the left and right hands!"
Diane sighed:
"That's even more boring. This isn't the way you go about drinking!"
Wang Yuanchao said:
"Then try it, but only one person can guess at a time."
Talia smiled and said:
"I'll guess first, left!"
Wang Yuanchao opened his left hand, it was empty.
Talia and Diane were shocked. They clearly saw that the last coin was placed in the left hand!
Adam can do magic!?!
Talia swallowed the wine in the glass, became interested, and said:
"Come again!" Diane said:
"I'll do it this time!"
Wang Yuanchao smiled and began to move the coin slowly, making the two girls' eyes follow the coin. If he wanted, no one could guess which hand the coin was in.
The coin can really be moved between the left and right hands!
Diane shouted excitedly:
"right!"
The sound was so loud that it attracted the attention of people at the next table.
Wang Yuanchao opened his right hand, but it was empty.
Talia quickly covered Wang Yuanchao's left wrist and said:
"If it's not on the right, at least it's on the left."
Diane raised her glass and said:
"Yes, maybe you are hiding in a corner! That would be against the rules!"
Wang Yuanchao opened his left hand with a smile, and the coin lay quietly in the palm of his hand.
Diane drank the wine in the glass unwillingly and muttered:
"I clearly saw it was on the right hand... come again!"
Wang Yuanchao moved the coin again.
After the move was over, Diane and Talia each held one hand and said in unison:
"Left!"
The two of them also became smart. You can do magic, right? You can change hands, right? Now let's guess the other hand!
Wang Yuanchao was helpless. He spread out his hands and the coin was in his right hand.
This guy didn’t change hands this time?
The two women refused to believe it and ended up drinking one cup after another.
A woman nearby couldn't stand it anymore, so she came over with a glass of wine and said:
"You're playing mind games with them! Take me with you."
This is a much prettier woman!
Although Diane had drunk a lot of wine, she was still sober and said:
"Sandra Locke?"
The beauty said:
"It's me. I can't stand seeing you being bullied by him!"
Seeing that Wang Yuanchao was not interested in this name, Talia leaned over to his ear and whispered:
"Sandra just got nominated for an Oscar for Best Supporting Actress."
Wang Yuanchao didn't care that she was nominated for Best Supporting Actress, not Best Actress. But Diane had already pulled Sandra over and said,
"Now we have external help, hum!"
Wang Yuanchao smiled and said:
"No one can win, unless I want her to win."
Sandra watched Wang Yuanchao's hands slowly tossing the coin into his right hand. He then arrogantly opened his left hand to show her that it was empty. He clenched his left hand and opened his right hand to show her that the coin was in his palm. He then closed his right hand and said,
"Guess!"
Talia looked at Wang Yuanchao. This guy was a bit biased. He didn't show it like this to her and Diane just now.
Sandra was a little confused now. The man's hands were spread wide apart and just placed quietly on the table without any movement. How did the coin in his right hand move to the left?
Could it be that this guy deliberately let me win because he saw that I was pretty and famous?
Like he said, whoever he wants to win will win.
But this win is pretty stupid, isn't it?
"You don't have to be so polite to me!"
Wang Yuanchao said:
"How am I being polite to you?"
Sandra said:
"I will defeat you with my ability!"
Wang Yuanchao said:
"Then you beat me. If you beat me, I will invest in you to win the Oscar for Best Actress!"
Sandra stared at Wang Yuanchao and said:
"You want to sleep with me too?"
Wang Yuanchao was a little speechless. If people in this circle were so casual, he wouldn't dare to sleep even if he wanted to!
Wang Yuanchao was very helpless and said:
"What makes you think you'll be right? Well, you make the bet, so you don't feel like I'm doing anything to you."
Sandra tilted her head and said:
"I haven't seen any Asians yet. So, if I guess right, you stand on this table and show your big Kun Kun, how about that?"
This woman wants to see him make a fool of himself!
"What if I guess wrong?"
Sandra laughed:
"I'll help you blow it!"
What the hell!
"Deal! You guess it!"
Sandra said:
"Are you sure you don't want to switch hands like that anymore?"
Wang Yuanchao said:
"Take a guess."
Sandra smiled and said to Diane and Talia:
"It seems like your friend can't wait to show everyone his KunKun!"
So Sandra looked at Wang Yuanchao jokingly, pointed to her right hand, and said:
"Right hand, this way!"
Wang Yuanchao spread his hands and said:
"Looks like I'm going to use it to brush your teeth properly!"
Everyone was shocked. They clearly didn't move their hand, so how did the coin run to the other side?
