Hollywood Rhapsody

Chapter 14 The Temptation of James

In the early morning, Mr. Clooney was enjoying his breakfast at the dining table. There were hurried footsteps coming from the stairway, and then he saw his son in good health. This made Mr. Clooney glance at his watch in surprise: "Joseph ? It's only six o'clock, where are you going?"

"Go to see Her Majesty the Princess." Joseph straightened his collar and took up front of his father, "Father, what do you think?"

"Princess? You mean the girl who gave birth in your school?" Mr. Clooney frowned, but stopped his mouth when his son's expression immediately changed from sunny to cloudy, looked him up and down, and said vaguely, "This is a pretty girl." Spiritually, you..."

"Oye!" Before Mr. Clooney could finish speaking, Joseph rushed out with a cheer.

"Silly boy in love!" Mr. Clooney stuffed the bread that he was going to pass to his son into his mouth, and snorted with obvious disdain, "Your Highness?"

Joseph rushed to the flower shop that opened the earliest, and bought the most delicate roses while thinking about the "Age of Love" played last night. He wanted to confess his love to Sarah, the one hundred and first time!If he wasn't afraid of disturbing Sarah's family, he would have gone downstairs to Sarah's confession last night. Yesterday's "Age of Love" had a wonderful plot, but his mind was full of Sarah!Sarah!Sarah!His Sarah is so beautiful, and with the broadcast of the TV series, more and more people will discover her beauty and become obsessed with her beauty, and this is obviously not what Joseph wants to see, he does not want that Many rivals!

So Joseph tossed and turned all night, and even knocked on Sarah's door early in the morning, hoping to get Sarah out before more rivals appeared. Already out?If Joseph was struck by lightning, he couldn't think of why Sarah was going out early in the morning. Could it be a date?no no!Definitely Not!

Of course, Sarah didn't go on a date. The crew had already started work. She had to extend her vacation for a few more days because of her youngest son who was waiting to be fed, because the students had to report to school, and because of the publication of the novel. During this period, we have to find time to negotiate the website and build the website before the announcement of the Oscar nominations.

……

"MYGOD! Camel windbreaker, blonde hair, woman, these information are all right... Don't tell me you are S! God, this world is so amazing, it's you, Sarah? Is your name Sarah?"

Sarah, who was looking down at the newspaper, was almost shattered by the excited voice. When she raised her head, her pupils suddenly shrank.

"Sorry, I'm so excited." Alan realized his gaffe, quickly covered his mouth, glanced around, and said SORRY to the only customer in the store besides them.But his excited mood did not calm down at all. After sitting down opposite Sarah, he stared at Sarah with flaming eyes and rubbed his hands unconsciously.

"Are you... Skywalker?" Sarah blinked and asked uncertainly. After Allen nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, she was stunned for a long time before she suddenly sighed, "This world is so small!"

"So, you know the legendary prophet? Are you a friend of S?" Allen didn't think that S, who spoke a series of technical terms on MSN, knew a lot about computer programming, and was a genius in creating websites, It will be the little girl in front of me who hasn't even graduated from high school.

"Uh... In fact, I..." Sarah's brain quickly analyzed the gains and losses. Should she follow Alan's words or admit that she is S?

"Huh? What?" Allen waited patiently for Sarah's next words.

"I'm actually S, isn't that incredible?" Sarah raised one eyebrow, and shrugged in the shock of Alan's wide-open mouth, "You can't judge by appearance, just like when you didn't expect me to be able to unravel the mystery." Math problem, now, you seem to underestimate me again."

"No, no, no, how could I underestimate you, it's just... just... I'm so surprised, youknow, a beautiful and young girl like you is actually a math genius, and now she is proficient in computers..." Allen said as if Still unable to accept this character setting, he shook his head subconsciously, "Amazing! You are like a superhero in the comics, an omnipotent, perfect, one-in-a-million genius!"

"SO? You believed it? Didn't you suspect that I was lying?" Sarah was amused by Alan's appearance. To be honest, who doesn't like to be praised and praised?

Sarah didn't think there was any shame in pretending to be a genius with a 30-year-old soul here. Whether it was mathematics or computers, these knowledge were not brought by the strong wind, but she spent day and night in the library and settled in the laboratory. After sacrificing entertainment time and getting through high myopia, she stuffed it into her head bit by bit. She used this knowledge with a clear conscience!If you live a new life, if you are still ordinary, without any genius, then it will be called a failure!

However, she didn't expect Allen to believe in herself so easily.

"Why do you doubt?" Allen asked in confusion, "You don't have to lie to me, and I have seen your mathematical ability and know that you are unusual. You are undoubtedly a genius."

"Indeed, and when we talk about the website in a while, there will be a lot of professional content involved. If I am not S, this conversation will not be possible at all." Sarah nodded thoughtfully, which is why she directly admitted that she is S, A lie needs countless lies to be true. In order to get the website work done as soon as possible, she has no energy or time to play role-playing games in circles with Alan.

So besides the identity of a computer expert, will her other identity be accepted?Thinking of the date in the afternoon, Sarah pursed her lips, and then pretended to ask: "What if I say that I am not only S, but also the mysterious prophet who has successfully predicted the box office of many movies? Would you believe it?"

"God, are you telling the truth?" As a result, Alan didn't even have a doubtful "Huh?", so he asked with wide-eyed surprise, obviously believing it seventy percent.

"Do you believe it again?" This time even Sarah herself was surprised, a little unsure if Alan is really simple-minded, or is his acting skills good enough?Even the bizarre setting that the prophet is a little girl can be accepted without hindrance?

"Well... why don't you believe it? Are you just kidding me?" Allen seemed unable to understand Sarah's thinking.

"Eh..." Sarah was speechless. She wasn't joking, but in fact, she really didn't expect Alan to believe that this straightforward boy wouldn't be the kind of bookworm with 0 EQ who is super easy to deceive, right? ?Under Alan's clean and friendly eyes, Sarah coughed awkwardly and said, "I think the prophet in everyone's mind should be an old man with gray hair and wise eyes..."

"But an old man like that shouldn't let the "Los Angeles Times" publish almost the entire page of 20 billion? Probably can't write a hymn-like fanatical movie review? Imagine Gandalf in "Lord of the Rings", although he also participated During the battle, but you can't imagine his blood boiling, and you can't imagine him singing praises to the elf princess or some beauty..." Alan couldn't help laughing before he said halfway, "Sorry, that picture is too much. There is a sense of joy, just thinking about it makes me laugh..."

"It's very graphic, haha, it's really funny." Sarah was also amused by the scene in her mind where Gandalf the White Beard was chasing the Elf Queen and singing love songs, and because of this, the tension in her heart eased a lot. Of course, the nervousness was not because of facing Alan, but because of the appointment that was coming in the afternoon, the date with the king of the world face to face.

"How! How can you... You are joking, eh?"

"Of course...not."

Facing the unbelievable James Cameron, Sarah forced herself to be calm and spread her hands to show a calm and calm look. She is a fan of James, but if she is too excited now, it seems to be detrimental. The mysterious style of the prophet even reduces the credibility of her identity.So Sarah just smiled faintly, looking calm and confident, and let James look at her while tasting the fragrant coffee.

When the fire was almost ready, Sarah spoke slowly: "The Inferno* system running on SGI can always surprise us, and the special effects of Titanic are very good, James, I am proud of you. But the magic of movie special effects will never stop Here, just as animation has officially entered the 3D era, many movies have already tried 3D. This is a major trend in the future. A more realistic, shocking, and immersive viewing experience is really exciting. expect."

"..." James' eyes changed when he heard the first sentence, like the underground party's connection code, these words were mentioned in their emails, and being able to say these things has proved everything-this The pretty girl who looked very likely to be underage was the mysterious S whom he had introduced as his confidant.

"I know you're looking forward to the Oscar nominations, and I don't understand why I haven't made a prediction." Before James sighed, Sarah's topic about the Oscars immediately grabbed his interest and made him want to talk A bunch of question marks were swallowed back.

But Sarah is like a bad fisherman, the delicious bait is hanging by James' mouth, but when James is concentrating and even holding his breath waiting for the magical prophecy, she winks mischievously and shows a sweet smile: "Now, dear James , do you believe me? Does the image of the prophet match your expectations?"

"Ithink...youknow...howtosay...." James opened his mouth and kept changing his words, still not fully recovered from the shock. The real body of the prophet had too much impact on him, like dialing Opening the fog, he thought there was a Tyrannosaurus rex behind him, but in the end, there was only a bouncing, soft and cute baby bunny in front of him.

"Surprise!" Sarah whistled a little, "James, can I say that your reaction gave me a sense of accomplishment?"

Under Sarah's mischievous smile, James' shoulders finally became less tense. After a second of silence, the two laughed at the same time.

James raised his coffee cup: "Cheers! To the amazing S!"

"Ha, to the great director!" Sarah happily clinked glasses.

"Now I understand why you decided to meet in a cafe instead of a bar. Excuse me, dear S, you probably haven't reached the age to enter a bar, right?" James looked at the coffee in his cup, and then looked at Sarah Ra joked.

"Just call me Sarah, Sarah Stern." Sarah realized that she hadn't introduced herself after meeting for so long, and after saying her name, she felt extremely relaxed, as if there was a smile on her shoulder. The heavy mountain finally disappeared, and her tongue became smoother when she spoke.

"Although I'm as smart as I am, age doesn't matter. Strictly speaking, I can't even enter a bar. I just passed my 11th birthday last November. Yes, I'm 17 years old like a flower. I still have to worry about exams. A 17 year old with a curfew at night, whatever..."

Sarah is like many high school students who don't want to be restrained. She rolled her eyes while complaining, and then quickly lowered her head and showed an embarrassed smile——

"James, I take this meeting very seriously and I hope to make a good impression on you. Age is my biggest concern. In fact, I almost backed out when I went out in the morning. I don't want the prophet to be labeled as an underage. Made my professional forecasting a child's play."

"Looks like I'm going to thank God because you're still here in the end, and what I want to say is - relax, Sarah, look at what the media says about you? They worship you like a god Praise you, there will be no more doubts, because your predictions stand the test of reality, is 20 billion crazy? Except for you, people dare not even think about such an amazing number, but now, everyone is looking forward to it It's gone." James became more and more excited as he spoke, and the unfamiliarity between the two had long since disappeared.

He looked at Sarah as if he was looking at a rare work of art in the world. Although he didn't sing praises to Sarah like Alan, the admiration and amazement in his eyes were enough to satisfy Sarah's little vanity Heart, Sarah covered her heart with an exaggerated breath, and sighed to James: "This is really a big and difficult step. Exposing the real body of the prophet is like a life-and-death choice for me. Honestly, if it wasn't for you The Oscar invitation is too tempting, I must still be hiding on the computer, ten years? 20 years? Maybe just keep the mystery and hide carefully for the rest of my life.”

"Forever? No, no, no, no, put aside those magical box office predictions, just for your genius advice on movie special effects, I will definitely try to find you, any conditions and any chips, as long as I can lure you to join my special effects Team, I will throw it out without hesitation." James raised his palm and counted the small tricks he might use with his fingers, "I will pay you a high salary. In order to pursue more perfect special effects, I I'm afraid the next movie will cost more than Titanic, and I'm always generous to talented people."

Sarah shrugged noncommittally. Although she liked money, it was clearly not enough temptation.

"Okay, let's put it another way. I have the hottest star in the world. If you're a man, I'll invite Kate. Of course, I might just give you a chance to have dinner with Rose." James threw Make a "you know" expression, followed by a bigger smile, "Of course, right now, unless you are Ellen DeGeneres, you should be more interested in Leon."

Sarah leaned forward slightly, nuzui raised her chin, indicating that she was indeed interested.

"Haha, it seems that our handsome Leon has something to do. After Titanic was released, he has conquered the world, and now even the mysterious prophet is bowed under his tuxedo." James smiled proudly, as if he had won a round against Sarah. As if, he also leaned forward and whispered to Sarah, and bewitched with a smile, "Honestly, Leon is single now~~"

"Sowhat? I'm just an ordinary girl with no name. Do you want me to reveal my identity as a prophet?" Sarah raised her eyebrows. She didn't think she and Leonardo could develop a relationship, but As a veteran fan of Leon, it's no wonder that he doesn't want to have close contact with his idol!So at this time, her heartbeat couldn't help tempting. Temptation was already speeding up. Although she tried her best to restrain it, the corner of her mouth still evoked a longing sweet smile.

"Why not?" James asked back, with a hint of encouragement in his tone.

And a white light suddenly lit up at this moment, Sarah closed her eyes subconsciously, and there seemed to be a faint click of the shutter in her ears.

(Note: Ellen DeGeneres is the host of the very famous "Ellen Show". In 1997, she disclosed her sexual orientation in the TV series she starred in. It was a very remarkable and brave step. She is the TV history She was the first entertainer to come out publicly, and this caused her to suffer unprecedented crusade and suppression. The TV series she starred in was cut, and she could hear scolding everywhere she went, and she was unemployed for three years.)

The author has something to say:

Oh, it was photographed!

I have always wondered why Leon is so hot and likes supermodels. I saw a Phoenix Entertainment article today, and I feel bad. An excerpt of the content is as follows - "According to foreign media statistics, he has dated 22 times in 56 years." Ren girlfriend!!! Gather all 3 Golden Globes to exchange for statuettes, it’s all wrong...the correct opening mode is to collect 56 long-legged supermodels, and the statuettes will be sent to the door~”

Handsome Leon conquered the world, but I really wonder what kind of woman conquered Xiao Li in the end!

-----About prophecy setting, the author has something to say------

Regarding the setting of the prophecy, I saw that some readers left comments that were unacceptable.

In order to ensure that the darlings do not waste time, I will post the explanation here. If anyone feels that this setting is unbearable, you can choose to abandon the article now, or skip to the 20th chapter. I personally think that starting from the 20th chapter is okay. It will not affect your reading experience too much. Chapters 1-20 are personal dramas in which the heroine builds her popularity and raises attention. After chapter 20, she officially enters the emotional drama.

I know that many relatives think that the prophecy setting is too much, but there are a few details in the article, please pay attention to it.

1. The heroine has never accurately predicted the box office figures, they are all trends or approximate orders of magnitude.

2. The heroine has never accurately predicted the Oscar award. At most, she expresses her personal opinion and thinks that a certain work deserves an award.

Some readers said, will the prediction affect the voting results of the award judges?The following explanation involves some spoilers -

When writing about starting the website, the hostess actually considered the impact on the judges' results, so please note that the online time of the prophecy website:

The original text reads "On the morning when the nomination was announced, the website named "Book of the Prophet" was officially launched",

Please note that nomination voting has ended at this point in time, unless the judges re-vote on the content of the website within a few hours, it will not affect the nomination results, right?

And Prophecy.com has just been launched. Maybe the Oscar jury will guard against Prophecy.com in the second year, such as waiting for the website information to be released before voting or something. Would you care so much about a small website?Prophecy.com made a time difference, and this practice is irreversible. Prophecy.com gained its reputation through this battle, but it will definitely not challenge the authority of Oscar in the future.It doesn't have the guts.

And the content of the prophecies in the article are "Prophecy: Titanic will get nominated for the best movie", "Prediction: Leonardo DiCaprio will not get nominated for the best actor"... Please note , is a nomination, not an award.From the beginning to the end, the heroine did not make a clear prediction about the final ownership of the award.

Next, it’s time to predict the awards, but the heroine changed the way of prediction. Instead, she opened a vote for each nomination.

"Voting for all awards, as we have discussed before, is counted with a crystal ball. Although it has no effect on the ownership of the Oscars, I believe that the voting itself is a very interesting little design, which makes people feel very involved. For myself For the movies you enjoy, for the stars you like, there may even be a phenomenon of canvassing votes”

Therefore, the heroine is adhering to the purpose of "run away with one vote". After the nomination, it is not a prophecy, but to let the attracted netizens vote on their own.

SO, everyone's concern about the heroine's prophecy affecting the Oscars is a very thoughtful expression, but the article has actually bypassed this thunder. As for whether netizens' voting will affect the judges' choice?This is a question of whether the Golden Globes and other outpost awards have any influence on the Oscar judges. At present, a newly established website does not have the influence and credibility of the Golden Globes, at least not yet.

This is the author's own explanation. If you don't abandon the article here, but continue to read, you will find that Prophecy.com has no role in award prediction in the future, adhering to the "one vote and run" booking policy!The setting of this website is based on the type of IMDB. After making a certain name at the beginning, his website structure is being adjusted.

Finally, thank you for your patience in reading. The author said so much because he wanted to try his best to retain readers. If you still feel that you can’t stand this thunder after reading these, then I have no choice but to send Shuai Leon out. I can't even move you, so... I have to bid farewell with tears in my eyes!
