Birth of an actor

After successively vetoing two houses whose architectural styles were not to William's liking, they finally saw a house they were satisfied with before the sun set.

This is a three-story Mediterranean-style building with a huge courtyard - the city government has high requirements for buildings on Beverly Hills, so there are no high-rise buildings on the hill, and most of the residences are two to three floors - you need to pass the closed door first. After driving through a long tree-lined driveway lined with palm trees on both sides, and then passing through the second double-opening large iron gate, you can approach the main villa surrounded by well-maintained flower beds.

The surrounding walls of the villa are white heightened walls, and tall green plants are also planted in the courtyard to prevent the intrusion of paparazzi cameras. All the walls on the main floor are made of glass. Standing in the living room, the 360-degree view around you is almost Although it is not as shocking as standing in a Manhattan penthouse to enjoy the night view of New York, the beautiful natural landscape of the canyon near Beverly Hills also has a different beauty.Especially the uniquely shaped open-air swimming pool in the back garden. The water is so clear that it is almost emerald green. Against the backdrop of the surrounding green trees, it is like a huge emerald gifted by nature, which is extremely magnificent.

'Of all the houses I have seen, this one is the most beautiful. Amon Goffman stared at the emerald green in rapt attention: "Especially the open-air swimming pool, the color from a certain angle under direct sunlight looks exactly the same as Will's eyes."

“这栋三层别墅由世界一流的建筑大师设计建造，室内面积是16000平方英尺（约合1500平方米）,总占地面积是35500平方英尺（约合3300平方米），拥有5间卧室、9间浴室、1个图书馆、1间私人影院、1个自带品酒室的酒窖、1个高档健身房、1个网球场、1个游泳池和1个完全独立的会客厅与客卧，就连车库都能容纳8到10辆汽车同时停放,完全可以满足一般跑车爱好者的收藏需要。”

"The top floor space of the villa has also been carefully designed by the designer. In addition, the height here is just right. When you are bored, you can stay alone and enjoy the panoramic view of Catalina Island and the night view of Los Angeles, and you can also hold a party for ten to 20 people there. A medium-sized party, by the way, two gardeners come over regularly every week to trim and tidy the garden, have you seen those beautiful flower beds and trees, how pleasing to the eye!"

Seeing William's interested expression, the real estate agent continued to work harder: "This is Bel-Air, Will, one of the best communities in Los Angeles! If you want to stay at home and not be found by anyone, then when others When people's cars pass by the winding community road outside this villa, their sight will be blocked by tall walls and countless trees and shrubs, and they can't even see the gate! If you want to go shopping , then drive here to Rodeo Drive and Beverly Mall, the short distance is like visiting the next door neighbor’s house, even faster and more convenient than that!”

In the courtyards of high-end communities in Los Angeles and on both sides of the community roads, dense shrubs, climbing plants and tall trees are all planted. It is pleasing to the eye and can provide good protection for the privacy of residents in the community.Because of this, there is a popular saying in Hollywood: "The bigger the star, the more trees are planted at home."

Looking at Los Angeles from this position, the scenery is really beautiful. In the distance is the bustling modern city, but in the distance, there are more charming natural scenery. Ornaments, probably because they were all designed by famous artists, these "decorations" buildings have different styles, even if they are both in the Mediterranean style, no two houses look the same.And indeed, as the real estate agent said, compared with the surrounding trees and flowers, the houses are indeed shaded and inconspicuous. Some villas have green plants on the courtyard walls. If you want to look inward from the street, If the line of sight is not good enough, you may not be able to find that it is a resident. If you want to see the whole picture of the house, you can really only take aerial photography.

Standing on the top floor, William looked over and asked, "Who lives around here?"

The real estate agent's nerves immediately became excited-Americans generally attach great importance to who is their neighbor. Generally, when a client asks who will be their neighbor in the future, it means that the transaction is not far from success ——He pushed Danny Bourne away and stood beside William, gesticulating with his hands in the air: "The house on your left is unoccupied. The previous owner has moved to New York, and the house on the left That one lived in the Reagan couple. That’s right, it’s former President Ronald Reagan and his wife Nancy, and the smaller house on the right was actually just changed residents two months ago. The new owner yes--"

"Wait." William interrupted the real estate agent: "I seem to know whose house it is."

"You know?" The real estate agent looked to the right following William's gaze. In the courtyard of the almost residential building covered by trees, he saw a blond man playing with an adult Doberman pinscher by the fountain. He looked hard After a few glances at the familiar figure, the real estate agent suddenly realized: "Yes, Will, I almost forgot that you are friends."

"Can this golf machine work?" William asked looking at the machine not far away.

"Of course, all the furniture and machinery in this house are normal." The real estate agent graciously helped William move the tools: "Do you want to try it? Playing golf on the roof is also a special experience."

William picked a comfortable golf club, stood in front of the ball machine, tried a few swings to warm up and calculated the distance from the roof to the open space, and then aimed at the angel-shaped fountain in the yard of the villa next door. His eyes sank slightly, and he swung his wrist hard.

"Bang!" The golf ball flew high and then fell rapidly, hitting the fountain sculpture in the next yard, making a crisp sound.

The Doberman Pinscher who was running by the fountain was taken aback. It first jumped to the side, and then almost immediately bent down towards the golf ball that was rolling around on the ground. barked.

"Wow woof woof! woof woof!"

The owner of the Doberman Pinscher was also very frightened. He happened to be squatting on the ground to play with the dog just now, so after being frightened, his first conditioned reflex was to slide and sit on the ground immediately.

"Hahahaha." William laughed happily.

In the breeze, his laughter carried far away.

The man sitting on the cobblestone ground in the courtyard next door, Leonardo DiCaprio just got up from the ground, after hearing the laughter, he seemed to feel it, looked up and followed the sound, in order to see To be more clear, he also used the palm of his left hand across his eyebrows to block the sun.

After realizing that the man standing on the roof of the next house and laughing with golf clubs was William, Leonardo DiCaprio raised his arms high and made a very strange gesture in William's direction. Discordant gestures.

William replied with a gesture of "just let the horse come over" and smiled even more happily.

The real estate agent watched the nose and the nose, and he told himself that he didn't see anything. He didn't see two of the most popular heartthrobs in Hollywood gesticulating and mouthing pornographically to each other, and he didn't see them laughing. It looks like a stroke.

William and Leonardo DiCaprio, one with excellent vision from above, one with the sun below, one just finished a prank, one is the victim of a prank, and one has a golf club as a prank Props, a Doberman pinscher who couldn’t find the right enemy and was barking all over the floor... Leonardo DiCaprio finally decided to change some actual revenge. He stood in front of his fountain, Danced and shouted: "Will! You wait for me, don't run away!"

After yelling these words, Leonardo DiCaprio quickly ran into the garage, and half a minute later, a red Porsche 964 came out of the garage with a bang, and drove through the gate to the next door like lightning. The driveway was speeding, and the black adult Pinscher followed closely behind the Porsche, running like the wind.

"Oops, I have to find a hidden place to play hide-and-seek with Leo." Seeing that the red Porsche was approaching the house at a high speed, William quickly turned around and abandoned it towards the stairs. He poked his head out of the window and said to the real estate agent who was about to grin, "Hey, I want this house."

"Okay, Will, I'll start preparing the contract right away!" The real estate agent's smile was as bright as the sunshine in California.

……

Leonardo DiCaprio, Armon Goffman, and Danny Byrne are not fans of Spanish food, but when William Goddammit's green-eyed Bradley blinks his eyes and sparks all the time With dark green eyes, they asked them in a bewitching voice: "Do you want to eat Spanish food?" No one had the heart to say "no".

Madeleine Bradley temporarily received an urgent draft request from the publishing house, and immediately drove back to Santa Monica, so the dinner turned into a gathering of four men. On the way to the restaurant, William was full of longing: "I You're starving, how about you?"

"Very hungry." Leonardo DiCaprio added a little embarrassedly: "I will treat you later."

Just now in the Bel Air neighborhood, Leonardo DiCaprio and his Doberman Pinscher let his Doberman follow after he played hide and seek with William in the big house and managed to catch him William chased after him wildly, shouting gloatingly: "RUN! Will! RUN!", he was so excited that he succeeded in provoking his Doberman pinscher, he didn't even listen to the order to stop later, and directly blocked William to jump Go to the center island of the kitchen and keep throwing the sausage and cheese in the refrigerator to escape the persecution-probably because the dog didn't even listen to his orders in the end, Leonardo DiCapri Ozai felt sorry and wanted to treat him.

Now it's meal time, a long queue has already formed in front of the most prestigious Spanish restaurant in Los Angeles, people chatting and waiting for the queue are watching with amazed eyes when William and Leonardo pass by, and grow their mouths by the way .

"They won't be—" a man asked the people around him in an uncertain voice, and several other women kept screaming excitedly.

William and Leonardo walked forward calmly amidst all the spectators, they have long been accustomed to such a scene.

The security guard at the entrance of the restaurant graciously opened the door to welcome the four people in, and turned a blind eye to the half-sleeved T-shirt on Danny Byrne's body and the slippers on his feet. Guests who were usually dressed like this had long been ordered not to enter.

"Welcome, gentlemen." The restaurant head waiter's eyes widened instantly when he saw the two people who walked in the door first, and he couldn't help but raise his voice: "Are there four people? This way please—— ’ She didn’t even ask if they had an appointment.

The waiters in the hall were all staring at Leonardo and William unscrupulously, as were the other guests, but their eyes were a little darker, and it wasn't until the four of them sat down in a quiet corner that such explicit staring came into play. Becomes a buzzing whisper.

"It's already very eye-catching when I go out with Will, but I didn't expect to add you today, and it will become twice as eye-catching." Danny Byrne gestured with double quotation marks: "A lot of beauties are watching here, Happy, but they can't be looking at me, not happy. You say—”

"Shut up," said Amon Goffman.

Danny Byrne shut his mouth obediently.

"Your sidekick is so funny," Leonardo DiCaprio said to William.

"Danny is not my follower, he is my assistant." William, who was looking down at the menu, replied.

"Sorry." Leonardo DiCaprio looked at Danny Bourne apologetically.

"You're welcome," said Danny Byrne with a shrug.Sometimes in Hollywood, the work boundaries between servants and assistants are not clear at all. Many people are called servants, and they do the work of assistants. As far as Bourne was concerned, he didn't care what other people thought of him, as long as William didn't look down on him as a star-chasing idler.

"Good evening." The waiter with a happy smile came over: "What can I do for you?"

"What is today's chef's recommendation?"

"A batch of snails flown in from Catalonia just arrived this morning, and they are very well received."

"That's it, and give me another sangria."

"I want Iberian ham and a glass of Pinot Noir." Leonardo DiCaprio also handed the menu to the waiter after ordering.

After the meal was served, Leonardo DiCaprio watched William raise his glass: "To the neighbours."

"To the neighbors." William clinked glasses with him.

"When are you going to move in?" Leonardo DiCaprio asked: "After changing to a new house, it's quiet. The paparazzi can't even find out where my house is, and even if they do, they can't come in." I can’t even see the inside, but it’s too boring, I don’t see a few parties in a month, and I’m not as comfortable as living in Malibu.”

"Home is for rest. Is a place where parties are held every day still called home? Anyway, you still have a house in Malibu, where there are parties every day. If you feel bored, go to the beach for a few days." William said: "I'm still filming "Meet Joe Black" now, and the house needs to be redecorated and cleaned. After filming, I can just live in it. It will take about two months."

"Two months? It's too long."

"You are welcome to visit us anytime after you move, but remember not to bring your dog with you, Leo, I'm really going to have a shadow of Doberman."

"Perhaps you can raise one or two dogs in the future, and Ronaway is a good choice." Amon Goffman interjected half-jokingly: "It's one thing to take care of the house and guard the yard. In case you run into Leo when you run in the morning You can still defend yourself with your dog while you're walking it, Will."

Leonardo DiCaprio lowered his head and laughed "Hang Chi Hang Chi".

Although he knew that his manager was probably joking, William still refuted the proposal without thinking: "No dog, Lance is allergic to dog hair."

"...I'm really sad, Will." Amon Goffman was deeply, deeply jealous.

"I know you are also allergic to dog hair, Ami." William said softly, "My best friend and most trusted partner is allergic to dog hair. Although dogs are cute, how can I keep them? ?”

Amon Goffman's face turned red visibly. He coughed lightly, nodded indiscriminately, then turned away and pretended to look at the other guests: "You can do whatever you want."

"Wait." Leonardo DiCaprio also interjected: "The best friend obviously does not refer to me, the most trusted partner is Amon, so what are Toby and I? The next level friend? I'm really sad too, Will."

William was not fooled by his tactics: "You are a bad friend."

"What? I'm not!"

"Best friends don't let dogs chase and bite each other, they make bad friends. You are."

Leonardo DiCaprio grinned.

"Will?" A man in a suit and leather shoes had just walked past William's table, and quickly stepped back: "It's really you!"

"Andrew?" William quickly stood up and hugged him: "I didn't expect to see you here, how are you doing recently? I heard that you have become a producer?"

The man I met by chance was Andrew Nickle, the screenwriter and director of "Gait Shot". Although "Gait Shot" has not yet been released, William heard that Andrew Nickle was widely favored by Hollywood as soon as the filming of the film ended. Be a producer.

""The Truman Show", I wrote a new script, the screenwriter and producer are me, but the director is Peter Weir." Andrew Nickel's smiling face cast a shadow: "Speaking of I was really -- there were so many bad things going on in this movie."

Amon Goffman had been listening boredly. When he heard the words "The Truman Show", his eyes quickly became flexible. After looking up and down at Andrew Nickell, Amon Goffman stood Get up, and enthusiastically invite the waiter to add a chair: "Sit down and talk, Andrew—may I call you Andrew? Come on, sit down and talk to us about "The Truman Show", would you like to order a glass of wine for you? "
