Dunn is in a good mood.
First, 20th Century Fox's fourth overseas box office revenue has been credited, totaling $54 million. Bill McNick said politely that if Dunn was in a hurry to use the money, he could pay 50 million US dollars in advance for the operation of Dunn Films, with more refunds and less compensation.
Second, he received notices from CAA, Endeavor and Warner that Marvel Entertainment agreed to start cooperation negotiations with Dunn Pictures.
Third, he got a call from Nicole Kidman. She took the initiative to invite Dunn to dinner!
Dunn was surprised after snickering at Nicole's invitation. He didn't expect this Australian beauty to be so active, and he didn't know if it was because he was separated from Liangtang, and he was empty for too long.
For the evening date, Dunn has infinite beauty, and the female secretary Reese Witherspoon naturally doesn't need to explain it, but Natalie needs a stable mood there.
Nicole Kidman is the focus of the news, and her every move is being monitored.
Tonight's date is a very formal restaurant.
In this line of business, paparazzi's surveillance is indispensable. Tomorrow's gossip headlines will definitely be this date.
Dunn naturally wouldn't care, but he had to pay attention to Natalie's feelings.
Natalie was still mad at him for bringing Reese Witherspoon home.
Gotta get vaccinated!
At noon, estimating the time Natalie might go home from school, Dunn made a phone call.
"I thought you were immersed in the gentle village, and you forgot about me!" Natalie angrily showed up directly.
Tang En snorted, "How is it possible, you don't know how important you are in my heart!"
"Are you reading poetry or lyrics?" Natalie sarcastically said angrily.
Tang En laughed, "How are you doing recently, are you all doing well at school?"
"Don't change the subject, you haven't officially explained it to me!"
Dunn had a headache for a while, "explain what?"
"What did you say?" Natalie gritted her teeth angrily. "It's about you and Reese! Don't take me as a little girl who doesn't understand anything. I'm not in Los Angeles, and you and Reese must sleep together every day!"
"Cough cough..." Dunn concealed his embarrassment, "Nate, I won't lie to you, and I don't want to lie to you. It's exactly as you said, but I think you can definitely understand it."
"Understood? Dunn, don't you think it's ridiculous?" Natalie was about to cry, "I'm your girlfriend, we're lovers, how could I endure this kind of thing?"
Dunn frowned, "Nate, since it's about this, I think it's necessary for us to talk frankly."
"on the phone?"
"Let's talk briefly first."
"Go ahead, I don't think you can convince me."
"Okay," Dunn took a deep breath, "I have several reasons, you listen first, does what I say make sense?"
"Um."
"I think soul and body are two kinds..."
Before he could finish speaking, Natalie interrupted him rudely, "Nonsense, next one!"
Tang En smiled bitterly and sighed, "This is Hollywood, and love between men and women is the norm here. I'm a director, and I'm a member of Hollywood."
Natalie frowned, "Not enough reason, what else?"
"Nate, you have to know that I have a lot of work and a lot of pressure. I need to release the pressure in this way, can you understand?"
"No!" Natalie ignored Dunn's earnestness and said staunchly, "In the past few years, I have been acting and studying at the same time, and I have been under a lot of pressure, but I have never had such an experience."
Tang En said: "But the pressure is ultimately to find a way to vent, right? For me, this method is the easiest, most direct, and most time-saving, and that's enough."
Natalie was silent for a long time, "I still can't convince me, do you have any reason?"
"There are too many beautiful girls in Hollywood, and a large part of them revolve around me, wanting something to happen with me. I'm a young man, and I have needs."
"That's no good reason! I'm also young, and there are many handsome guys in my school!"
"Okay, then I'll tell you the last reason." Dunn wiped the sweat from his head and pondered slowly, "Nate, you are a smart girl."
"Huh? No more?" Natalie was very surprised. What was the reason?
"No, that's my biggest reason."
Natalie pouted, "I don't understand!"
Dunn took a deep breath, "Nate, I am a director and you are an actor. We love each other and need each other. In our future careers, we will rely on each other."
These words were very subtle, but the wise Natalie understood it instantly.
Exchange of benefits!
During this time, she and her mother, Shirley Hirschler, talked many times about Dunn's problems.
Natalie understands that the love between her and Dunn is by no means young and ignorant on campus, not pure and flawless in fairy tales, nor is it Romeo and Juliet's death.
This is Hollywood love, and there are a lot of interests mixed in here.
Natalie has not studied acting systematically, and she also deeply understands the truth. Her acting skills are not top-notch. If you want to have a better development in Hollywood with a conservative and clear style, you must accumulate word-of-mouth over many years, which is very difficult.
But with Dunn, everything becomes very simple.
Dunn can not only give her love, but also everything she dreams of.
But what about Natalie? Besides love, what can she give Dunn?
Shirley Hirschler is a woman from a petty-bourgeois family in the United States. She has looked up to the upper class since she was a child and racked her brains to change her destiny.
With the edification of such a mother for many years, and Natalie's clever head, how could she not understand the great help Dunn has given her in the future? A class change to her entire family?
The truest, purest and most beautiful love?
Natalie shook her head, she once fantasized about it, but now she understands that it doesn't belong in Hollywood.
"Dawn... This reason is very strong, I can't argue against it But..." Natalie's nose was a little sour.
Dunn found out that her tone was wrong, she was startled, and quickly comforted her, "Nate, sweetheart, be strong, you are a brave girl, right? This is the reality, you have to face it strong, okay?"
"I know." Natalie sniffed, her tone a little low, "I just feel... a little disappointed."
"No, no, no!" Dunn raised his voice, "Nate, in fact, it's all very simple. It's a matter of the two of us. It's good that the two of us love each other with our hearts. It has nothing to do with outsiders!"
Natalie murmured, "Outsiders?"
"Yes, outsiders! Not only that, whether it's interests or careers, those are all foreign things. Only our feelings are the only way to maintain our relationship, right?"
"Maybe." Natalie was not in a high mood, but it was obvious that she had lost her initial crusade for Dunn's scandal. "I want to talk to my mother about this, can I?"
"That's okay." Dunn was a little uncertain, middle-aged women were not as easy to coax as a seventeen-year-old girl, "but...Nate, no matter what, we won't break up, right?"
"Well, I don't want to break up either."
Natalie bit her lip tightly.
……
Hanging up the phone, Dunn looked up and pondered.
Although this phone call reduced Natalie's grievances, but talking about it will definitely shatter the girl's beautiful fantasy about love.
But reality is not a fairy tale, how could it not be cruel?
"Maybe... it's to take more time and go to New York to accompany her."
Dunn cares about Natalie very much.
He could never give up an entire forest for one tree.
It's just... this tree is too precious!
