Keep in mind our website and wish you all a happy reading! Don't forget to spread the word.
Alessandra Martinis only felt like she had suddenly encountered a love affair in the air.
From Milan to New York, it was an eight-hour flight, except that the man dealt with some work at first, and then came over, the two chatted, drank, listened to music, she danced to the man, the other party used the guitar for her impromptu accompaniment, and then enjoyed A hearty lunch, everything is so comfortable and natural.
After lunch, after a little discussion, I decided to watch a movie.
Apparently taking into account her language problems, the man carefully selected an Italian film, "La Dolce Vita" by Fellini.
Gorgeous and bustling with the flow.
and disillusionment.
At the end of the three-hour film, in the small projection room in the cabin, no lights were turned on, only the final subtitles shone with some light, Alexandra, who was leaning on Simon's side, leaned into the man's ear, almost biting her ear. : "I've always wondered, what did that little girl say at the end?"
Women who dance often lack body curves, but Alexandra is an exception, and the stunner is so addicting.
Simon put his arms around the woman next to him and said, "I remember that in an interview with Fellini, he explained that the girl meant that she was willing to learn to type from Marcelo, which corresponds to the conversation between the two men in the small restaurant."
Alexandra put a small hand on the man's big hand swimming on her body and shook her head slightly: "I don't understand."
Simon asked, "What do you think the film is about?"
"I just thought it was very lively, probably a critique of the degenerate life of the upper class."
Simon smiled and shook his head: "It is a very superficial cognitive model to habitually analyze literary and film works from a class standpoint."
"Then what do you think Fellini is talking about?"
"Lost."
"Um?"
"This is my personal understanding. All the characters in the film, whether they are protagonists or supporting characters, or even ordinary people, have fallen into a state of lost reincarnation, unable to extricate themselves, and can only cycle day after day. Your own life, whether it is gorgeous, blind, confused or boring. Or, when you can't stick to it, like Marcelo's seemingly perfect family of friends, choose to self-destruct."
"Sounds cruel."
"Life is inherently cruel, so I remember a poet once said that we should choose a life and have the courage to persevere."
Alexandra turned her head slightly and looked at Simon: "This seems to be a bit contradictory. If you choose a life and stick to it, doesn't it become the cycle you just said lost day after day?"
"Of course it's not the same. This kind of persistence requires a heartfelt love and recognition of life. You must believe that your life is meaningful, and it is a kind of persistence to move forward, not standing still. Those in the movie People, they have stopped thinking about these issues, just like Marcelo failed to hear or pretended not to hear the girl's words at the end of the story, he has given up the struggle and is willing to sink."
"Simon, do you think your life has meaning?"
"No."
Alexandra was surprised: "Huh?"
Simon said: "Measured by a desperately long cosmic scale, the life of everyone in this world has no meaning."
"This, um, I know..." Alexandra finally caught up with some, raised her hand and gestured slightly, and said, "In last year's 'This Man From Earth', the heroine said at the end, we are all just a moment . Until now, every time I think about it, it makes people very emotional, this is what you want to express, right?"
"Yeah, we are all just a moment," Simon slightly curved his mouth: "This is another realm. When a person clearly knows the cruelest truth of life, but can persist and love, this is the greatest bravery."
"That's who you are, isn't it?"
"No, if this level is counted as 100 points, I am at most 70 points, and I am also lost many times."
Alexandra rubbed gently on Simon's body, and suddenly laughed softly: "You are a trillionaire, the only one in the world, so these words just now sound like, um..."
Seeing the woman's expression of hesitating to speak, Simon knew that she wanted to use words such as 'no fuss', but he probably felt it was out of place, smiled and said, "From the genetic level, because of the strong instinct of continuation, the desire of human beings It's endless, it's never satisfied, and this kind of dissatisfaction drives a person to move on, but it also often brings pain. The same. So in the face of the cruel truth of life, I am often lost, miserable, and still dissatisfied.”
Alexandra blinked her special crescent eyes, and seemed to be asking Simon what he was dissatisfied with.
However, Simon did not discuss this philosophy of life with the woman in depth, and instead said: "I will be in New York soon. Tell me about you, what kind of life do you want to live in the future?"
Alexandra's first thought was, of course, that she wanted to become the top actress in Hollywood, but this question of men seems to contain far more than that, but a larger issue about her future life status .
What kind of life?
Certainly like the one experienced just a few hours ago.
Fulfillment, excellence, luxury.
Then, become a first-class Hollywood star, enter and exit Vanity Fair,
The stars hold the moon.
Well, and then...
Seeing that the woman didn't answer for a while, Simon took the initiative to say again: "Well, then you will live in New York and take some English courses first, and then I will arrange some roles for you on Broadway."
A hint of disappointment flashed across Alexandra's expression, which was far from what she expected: "Simon, I want to go to Los Angeles with you, can I?"
Simon understood Alexandra's intention, raised his hand and slid over the delicate outline of the woman's face, and said, "The road has to be walked step by step, the European actress on you is too literary and artistic, if you hope to be able to walk in the future. Going further, by performing on Broadway, you can polish that temperament, otherwise you can only end up with nothing like many European actresses who want to enter Hollywood, such as Adjani."
The woman hesitated a little and asked again, "How long does it take?"
Although she doesn't want to mention her age, age is undoubtedly her biggest shortcoming.
Simon said seriously: "I hope you can take this as a career. Even if you become famous in the future, you can often return to Broadway to perform. You have a very good dance skills, which is your biggest advantage on Broadway. As for how long it takes to get from Broadway to Hollywood, there is no time limit. As long as I think it is suitable for your role, I will let you try it. In fact, I have already considered your positioning. You are suitable for costume movies adapted from famous books, or songs and dance movies. And I've already thought of a few projects that will work for you, it just takes time."
After listening to Simon's words, Alexandra's eyes lit up slightly, and asked subconsciously, "Time?"
"Yeah, it's no exaggeration to say that the projects that can make me directly fancy are all very good, the kind that can make the actors block a blockbuster. But this also requires actors to have certain skills, including acting skills and celebrity status. Accumulate. Otherwise, putting you in that position rashly, once the audience doesn't buy it, it's a disaster for the movie, and it's also a disaster for you, because once these important movie projects fail, it's hard for you to get similar Chance."
These remarks undoubtedly turned Alexandra's just-rising mood into a downturn.
Simon smiled and patted the woman's waist, and said, "A little disappointed, right?" Without waiting for the woman to speak, Simon continued: "This is actually my honesty to you, if it was other men, in order to get you, they would There may be all kinds of rhetoric and empty promises, but I won't. For the women around me, I can promise to give them the best chance, but whether they can seize it or not depends on them."
The knock on the door sounded at this moment, Simon agreed, and a waitress pushed the door open, reminding the plane to land in five minutes.
Simon nodded, waited for the other party to leave, stretched out his hand to help the woman pull out the seat belt buckle, and continued the topic just now: "But there is one thing I can guarantee now, Ali, in New York, you will have a good life. And You can also not follow the plan I just made and just enjoy life, you know, satisfying you is the least problem for me."
Alexandra watched Simon buckle the seat belt himself, and finally said again: "Simon, what about the future?"
"In the future, whether it's a month later, a year later, or more, if you want to leave, then leave, I've never been a forceful person. Of course, as long as you're by my side, I'll treat you as me women look at it.”
In just one day, Alexandra Martinis' mental journey was probably: dream-reality-dream.
When the Boeing 767 landed at JFK International Airport in New York, the man said he was going to a meeting and separated directly from her.
Suddenly coming to a foreign country, the man she relied on disappeared immediately after landing, and there were also the last words on the plane, which made Alexandra panic a little, and even felt that she might have made a mistake when she was overheated for a while. to outrageous choices.
When the housekeeper named Angourie Davis took over her schedule, it quickly returned to fantasy.
Due to the time difference, the departure time from Milan was Tuesday morning, and after an 8-hour flight, we arrived in New York, which was still Tuesday morning.
While still in the car, Angourie Davis took out some real estate information for her to choose, which would be her future residence in New York. Thick side information, single-family villas on the Upper East Side, penthouses in Midtown, and large flat-story mansions in Greenwich… everything.
The husband's family owns a single-family villa on the banks of the Seine in the West End of Paris, which is already the family's biggest asset.
Now, none of the properties in her documents are much worse than the Seine-side villas that her husband's family often boasted of with ancestral glory, and the man just used these to house his lover.
After a lot of selection, I finally selected a four-story single-family villa located on 78th Street in the Upper West Side. The next block is the famous American Museum of Natural History.
Mainly because the villa is very close to the Upper West section of Broadway.
It was another option for her.
In the end, he did not intend to make a pure vase, but followed his advice and decided to start his own business on Broadway.
Then the car drove straight to the Upper West Side.
Speaking of which, the single-family villas in Manhattan are not the same as the conventional single-family villas that ordinary people understand. It is difficult to separate a single-family villa courtyard in this island area where every inch of land is expensive. Therefore, villas are like books on a bookshelf. They are so closely stacked, but because most of the villas have their own style, the height, width and width are different, so they are not townhouses.
Entering this single-family villa with a light gray retro style on the outside, the interior is European-style decoration, with a warm warm yellow tone.
The open hall of the building has a gorgeous crystal chandelier overhead, and an open staircase inwards. You can also see the open living room on the second floor, the private space on the third and fourth floors, and a basement.
Everything in the villa is very new, there is no trace of occupancy, but there is no dusty feeling of long-term vacancy. Obviously, someone has carefully maintained it on a regular basis.
It's settled down.
Then started busy again.
Angerry once again provided a roster from which to select a bodyguard and a guard. With her previous level, she was not too aware of the private gossip around a big man like Simon Westeros. She was a little flattered by this, and then she chose again. Vehicles, and the most cumbersome and most exciting purchase of all kinds of daily service bags and shoes.
All afternoon, I walked most of Manhattan in the personal company of Angourie Davis and two personal servants.
At first, it was a bit difficult to let go, until Angrie pointed it out, and she had a cost of 1 million US dollars to install it.
$1 million!
The first thought is can it be cashed out?
She then scolded herself for being unpromising, and in the end she didn't know how much she spent in the afternoon. Anyway, she returned to her residence on 78th Street in the Upper West District. Various specialty stores brought her shopping results, and the cloakroom next to the main bedroom on the fourth floor of the villa was immediately closed Mostly stuffed.
In the evening, a broker from WMA took the initiative to come to the door.
WMA, of course.
America's largest Hollywood talent agency.
The person who came was a very capable middle-aged woman named Brigitte Motz. Angerry said that if she was satisfied, she would be her manager in the future. When she came here, she first took her to a New York film and television show. Gathering in circles, getting to know some people.
In short, at the end of the day, lying on the gorgeous and soft big bed in the master bedroom of the villa in the Upper West Side, I realized again that a certain man has not appeared again for a day.
The next few days are still all kinds of continuous rotation.
Body check, beauty maintenance, English classes, various formal documents, and a credit card. She has $50,000 a month in living expenses, and she has successfully integrated into the film and television circle in New York. friend. Although, from the polite or cautious or complimenting or flattering attitudes of those around, I clearly felt the shadow of a certain man.
But what about him?
And quickly finalized the first stage role.
This is a new drama called "Choice", based on the true story of the famous German conductor Wilhelm Furtwängler's trial after World War II.
The agent, Ms. Motz, hinted that it was Simon who personally selected for her, because it is a new drama, and it is mainly a male drama. There are not many female lead roles, so it is very suitable for a newcomer like her to start. Even if it fails, it is nothing. A classic that has a great influence on the decline, so it will not have any negative impact on her career.
So busy until the weekend, unknowingly began to get used to this new life.
Although, it does not seem to be the same as expected.
And finally remembered one more thing.
He quickly contacted a housekeeper and asked the other party to find a lawyer for him. He had to cut himself off from the past, or at least get divorced first.
