Chapter 45 No Surprises
Watching the door close in front of his eyes, Chris finally realized what he was doing. He was a beat too late and hurriedly slapped the door and shouted loudly.
"Anson, no, you guessed wrong, no, no, the surprise is something else, actually, uh, actually... the surprise is, I am going to cook tonight."
"Yes. , that’s it, why don’t you guess what I’m preparing, ha, you definitely can’t guess, ha, ha…”
“Anson?”
"Anson!"
There was only silence in response to Chris.
Chris: ...
Look up at the sky.
How did things develop to this point?
So, what to do now? Anson should believe his story, right?
But, in order to keep it secret, does he really have to prepare dinner? He was worried that he would blow up the kitchen. Was this another surprise?
Occasionally, very, very occasionally, Chris wishes he could be Gordon Ramsey.
However——
“Surprise!”
Brad Renfro looked like a rock singer with long golden brown hair. His slender and fragile body was swaying at the door while dragging his suitcase, as if he needed to rely on the weight of the suitcase to hold on. Stand still to avoid being blown away by today's winds in Los Angeles.
Then, he opened his arms, squinted his eyes, and made a cheerful sound in conjunction with Chris's movements, cheering together to give Anson a surprise.
What turned out to be was the smile on the face of the party hero, expressing his welcome in an extremely exaggerated and greasy manner.
Brad's face was full of astonishment, and he could see through Anson's exaggerated performance at once -
Obviously, Anson was not prepared to hide it.
Brad looked towards Chris, "What, you were found out in advance?"
Chris' shoulders collapsed, "I thought I had deceived Anson."
>Brad was not surprised at all, "I'm telling you, you can't deceive that guy, you will definitely be found out. If it were me, there is still a possibility."
Anson looked at Brad and handed him the The suitcase came over, and he motioned to the potato chips in his hand. He avoided it perfectly and moved out of the way as an invitation, "Then next time, let's give it a try?"
Brad looked helpless. He glanced at Anson, picked up the suitcase, carried it by himself, and walked through the door.
To be honest, Brad was so skinny that the suitcase was like an anchor, threatening to crush him at any time.
Seeing that Brad didn't respond to Anson's complaints, Chris snickered beside him, but he didn't add insult to injury. He reached out and took the suitcase, "It doesn't matter if you are found out. The point is the party. Today Let's party together later."
"Hayden will..."
Having just finished speaking, James came out of the living room, but his steps were too lazy. He stood at the entrance of the living room, even He didn't bother to go up the two steps from the living room to the hallway, and complained with a smile, "Chris, your ability to keep secrets..."
Chris took a moment to realize, and raised his hand to cover it. Mouth, "Ah!"
Anson and Brad both laughed.
Brad looked at Anson, standing on the same side without any sense of disobedience, "We haven't seen each other for two months, Chris is still the same Chris, very good, very good."
Brad, it’s roommate number three. Brad Renfro was born in 1982. Although he is the same age as Anson this year, the difference is that he was born as a child star and has been famous for a long time.
In 1992, Brad was spotted by director Joel-Schumacher in a juvenile detention center and starred in "The Ultimate Witness", opposite the Oscar-winning actor and actress Tom Tommy-Lee-Jones and Susan Sarandon perform together.
A blockbuster!
In just two years, Brad starred in three consecutive works and was selected as the Rookie of the Year in 1995 by the Los Angeles professional magazine "The Hollywood Reporter". He was also selected into numerous lists and became a high-profile figure in Hollywood. The rising star even won the chance to star in a movie himself.
In 1996, "Four Brothers" was another peak of Brad's career. In this star-studded movie, he played Brad Pitt's boyhood. Although the box office performance was mediocre, But the experience of constantly working with big-name directors and famous actors allowed Brad to reach the top.
Brad is generally regarded as the most spiritual and superstar-like rising star after Edward-Furlong, who had an outstanding performance in "Terminator 2". His handsome appearance has a little His fragility, both good and evil, and his quick-witted eyes make him at home on the big screen.
However.
In 1998, on the eve of the release of his new movie, the police received a report and found a large amount of illegal drugs at his home. This negative news also became a fatal blow. After all, Brad was only sixteen years old at the time and was underage. , it’s even worse without a guardian.
After that, Brad's Hollywood career suffered a head-on blow.
In the past two years, although there have been works intermittently, they have gradually moved away from the mainstream vision of Hollywood. Most of them are small-cost independent films. Not only has the exposure rate plummeted, but the income has also been greatly reduced. He also Leave your luxury bachelor apartment and join a roommate.
It only took five short years from rise to fall, but this is Hollywood.
For now, Brad is undoubtedly the most famous and successful actor under this roof.
Although in the entertainment industry, overnight fame and tomorrow's success are common, the journey between heaven and hell is easier and more frequent than imagined, and the endless trust has become a breeding ground for the bad habits of loving the new and hating the old. Bu, who once had a bright future, Ladd hit rock bottom.
But no one knows when he will make a comeback and re-enter the public eye, and no one can say whether his career will end here——
John Travolta (John-Travolta), Robert-Downey-Jr., Mickey-Rourke and so on.
Their careers were sentenced to death for different reasons, and they even prepared to leave Hollywood and formally transform; but in the end, they returned to the public eye in different ways, stood under the spotlight again, and started a different journey. Life.
Depravity, this is the keyword of Hollywood.
Turn over, same thing.
Just like now.
Brad has just finished filming a film and returned home after being away from home for two full months. Who knows, maybe this film is a turning point?
Furthermore, it can be seen from Brad's tired appearance that he must have rushed back in time to coincide with the broadcast time of "Friends".
What a surprise indeed.
Even though Brad has a bragging-worthy past, having worked with a string of A-list superstars, instead of talking about it all the time and living in a harmonious atmosphere with a group of roommates who are just starting out in their careers, Brad has instead established a Create a purer and simpler friendship.
No wonder Chris was so excited.
After a long journey, he was exhausted. Before he could even push his suitcase back to the room, Brad had already walked to the living room to scan it.
My eyes glanced at the food on the table in a hurry without stopping, and the focus finally fell on——
“Is this just a little bit of alcohol? It’s not enough to rinse your mouth.”
"James, you are so disappointing. If Chris doesn't remember this, forget it, but you didn't remind him?"
James was lying on the sofa boneless, laughing heartlessly. He kept saying, "Look, I knew Brad must be full of disgust."
