Chapter 58: Everyone has a star dream

"There are too many Chinese dishes. This Chinese restaurant is Cantonese. It is located in the United States. In order to adapt to the taste of Americans, the taste will definitely not be too authentic. But you can still taste the unique flavor of Chinese food. For example, we mostly use fried food while Western food likes to boil it in water, and Cantonese cuisine must drink soup." Chen Tiandu brought Charlize to China Street, chose a Cantonese restaurant casually, and introduced it to Charlize with a smile, "Do you like sweet or salty, lighter or stronger?"

Charlize seemed to understand and made an elegant expression, "I like to eat sweeter ones. I heard that Chinese restaurants also have Chinese burgers, and there are very few vegetables in them all fat."

Chen Tian thought for a while before he understood what "Chinese hamburger" was, but it was just a roujiamo. He laughed out loud, "Chinese hamburger, this name is really good. I don't know if there are Chinese hamburgers in Cantonese restaurants. It's probably not available. In fact, the method is very simple. If you book in advance, the chef can also make it." If you want to make money from Americans, you can make many special dishes, provided that you book.

"I heard from Kate that you have a good cooking skills. So... can you do it?" Charlize blinked and suddenly asked.

"certainly."

Chen Tian was grinning, "Cooking has become one of my few hobbies. In the future, if I have the chance, I plan to go around the world, taste the food from all over the world, and then make them out by myself. If I have time, I will hold a party and invite a group of friends to taste my skills. So, is it better for me to order food now?"

"Good ideal, then remember to call me." Charlize happily handed over to the menu.

Chen Tiandu nodded, but after turning the menu a few pages, he threw it aside, and called the boss and said, "Boss, let's have a portion of white-cut imperial concubine chicken, crabapple mushrooms, flower fish belly, and winter melon gu. For soup, two portions of cold melon rib soup."

"Okay. You can tell at a glance that the teacher has eaten Cantonese cuisine. Did he come from Hong Kong, come to the United States to travel, do business or study?" The boss smiled and greeted him in vernacular.

Chen Tian responded with a smile, but in Mandarin. He had never learned Cantonese in detail, and he also learned from Hong Kong movies if he could speak a few words. "Yes, my home is in Yanjing, and I'm not very good at Cantonese, so I come to the United States to do some small business. How long has my brother been in the United States? How is the business?"

This Niu Brother is also a versatile person. He smiled and said, "Now that Hong Kong has returned, everyone is a family, let alone the Chinese are all in the world. My surname is Niu, so I'll ask you to call me Niu Brother. I've been here for eighteen years. From the beginning, I used to clean dishes for my fellow villagers, and then made two chefs and chefs. Now I open a restaurant for my two children to go to school. Many people who come from my hometown like to try some regular dishes. Today, I will show you my skills. Hey, I think it's a bit familiar. Have you seen it somewhere?"

Charlize watched them chatting curiously, without showing any impatientness.

Chen Tiandu smiled, "I have acted in a movie that was released in the United States. But it is not very famous. Most people will feel familiar when they see it, but they just can't recognize it."

"It's a good career. Chenlong's movies are very popular here. I seem to recognize you later." Brother Niu suddenly stared at Chen Tian and was stunned to remember where he had seen them. Then he suddenly shouted at the inner room, "Yingying, come out and take a look. Isn't this the star of the movie I watched last time? What's the name? Look at my memory."

"Lao Dou, what did you ask me to do?"

A girl of sixteen or seventeen walked out in dissatisfaction, then widened her eyes and said in surprise: "Chrismas Chen, director, starring, multi-millionaire, I'm right."

Charlize understood this sentence and couldn't help but smile at Chen Tian.

Chen Tiandu also smiled at it, "Hello, Miss Niu Yingying. It's me, my Chinese name is Chen Tiandu."

There are not many people in the restaurant. When I heard a Hollywood star coming, I was curious to watch it. "The Sixth Sense" is the American vote king this year, and there are still quite a few people who recognize him.

Chen Tiandu also felt at home. Boss Niu also specially sent two bottles of treasured red wine, eating Cantonese cuisine and drinking red wine, which was really...a pleasant and sumptuous dinner.

Charlize deliberately brought the relationship closer and specifically selected topics that Chen Tian was interested in. Chen Tian answered many questions about Chinese food, and also talked about some movies and life matters. Of course, Charlize also told him a lot of his own stories.

"I started practicing ballet at the age of 6 and became a fashion model at the age of 14. The reason why I couldn't continue to develop in the dance world was because I accidentally injured my knee during a performance, so I changed to a model. At the age of 15, well... something happened at home. My mother took me back to Europe. After staying for a while, she came to Los Angeles, USA. During the first time I arrived in Los Angeles, USA, my life was really dull. Not only did I have to participate in model business activities, but I also had to take into account my studies. It was really hard, good and fulfilling."

Charlize had a glass of wine, and the topic could not be stopped, or no one had talked about it for a long time. "When I was 18 years old, I was attracted by an acting agent and invited to his agency. At that time, people were confused and thought that if I was attracted by an agent, I could become a star. Unfortunately, I waited for one audition after another, and I didn't play my first small role until I was 20 years old."

"I know, "Chicago Demon 3"." Chen Tian poured her wine.

"Yes." Charlize drank it all over again, and Chen Tian was filled with it again. "If I hadn't acted, I wouldn't have had too many expectations. Unfortunately, as long as I acted once, I would be addicted. You know, there are too many girls like me in Los Angeles who dream of stardom every day. I am willing to do anything to become a star, even if there is a little chance. A girl I used to rent a house with was a Mexican. She had slept with eight men, but each of them was willing to help her. It was really cruel..."

Chen Tian was silent, he could feel that mood.

Before you get the "artifact", you have done all kinds of unlimited investment activities. Hollywood is the entertainment capital of the world, and there are countless people working in acting in Los Angeles. Perhaps it is possible that you can do it in a certain crew by just catching someone from the street. It will be more difficult to make a comeback, especially actresses.

I didn't say anything, fill her up again.

Chen Tian even chose to be a loyal listener.

"Although I have played small roles in recent years, I have worked with many big names, including the movie "The Unstoppable Miracle" directed by Tom Hanks, "The Devil's Spokesperson" starring Keanu Reeves and Al Pacino, and "The Celebrity" directed by Woody Allen. In "The Devil's Spokesperson", he is even a heroine, which is a bit of a little fame, but that's all, not many people know me. Instead, he played a supporting role in "The Sixth Sense" to get more attention. People are not satisfied. If they want to become famous in obscurity, they will become even more famous. When they are famous enough, they will want to make more money. People are not satisfied with the status quo, and people are like this, haha, a cold world..."

"Sorry, I've heard so many boring things." Charlize drank a few more sips, pushed the empty cup over, and signaled that Chen Tian was full.
