Chapter 66
"Why, the phone still can't be reached?"
As soon as John walked into the room, Charlize immediately stood up from his seat.
John shrugged regretfully. He had called Lit three times in a row, and the responses were all turned off.
"You didn't call the apartment?"
"I've called it, but no one answered it."
"I'll call Kate." Charlize felt that he could not wait any longer, so he grabbed his cell phone from the table, found Kate's number and pressed the dial button.
After dialing several times, no one answered it. Finally, Charlize put down the phone with a helpless look on his face.
"I think Kate should be training at Mr. Yuan, and she can't hear the phone ringing." John mentioned a possibility, and Charlize nodded, thinking that this was reasonable.
"What should I do now? Now everyone in the crew will ask me when they see me, Charlize, is this true? I'm almost driven crazy by this damn report!"
Charlize was about to go crazy, and John was deeply helpless about it. Litt didn't even get angry with him before doing this, and now he caught him off guard.
A thud of knocking on the door interrupted the conversation between the two.
"It's probably the makeup artist who came to urge me again. I really want to tell her that I don't want to film today's scene!" Charlize walked to the door in a hurry, opened the door, and then covered his mouth in surprise.
"It seems that the surprise I prepared was not wasted." Li Te leaned against the door with a bright smile on his face.
A large bouquet of roses was taken out from behind by him like a magic trick, and held it in front of Charlize.
"It's really a surprise!"
Charlize glanced at the rose in Lit's hand, suddenly reached out to grab his tie, and pulled him into the room.
The door closed with a sound of touching.
Lit was pushed to the wall, holding a rose in one hand and blocking his chest with the other, and said to Charlize, who was approaching him: "Charlie, you heard that we can't do this, at least not here..."
"Bastard, what are you talking nonsense?" Charlize snatched the rose from Lit's hand and prepared to throw it into the trash can.
Lite was about to reach out to stop him, but he saw John holding his hands at the other end of the room, looking at the fun, and he was completely there.
"John, why are you here?"
After coming to his senses, Lite looked a little embarrassed. He thought Charlize could do that kind of thing just now, but he didn't expect that he was thinking too much. Charlize had no intention at all, and seeing her now put her hands on her hips, she was most likely angry with herself.
"I want to ask you this." John walked to Charlize and stood there. "I called you several times in a row, why didn't you answer?"
"Sorry, I turned off my phone on the plane, and then I got off the plane and went straight to this side. I forgot to turn on the plane."
In order to prove his words, Lit then took out his cell phone from his shirt pocket and shook it in front of Charlize and John, proving that the cell phone was indeed closed.
"What was the story in the Los Angeles Times?" This time it was Charlize.
Lite tidied up his tie, stuffed it back into his coat, and looked up and said, "I thought you would ask what happened to that bouquet of roses first."
Charlize frowned slightly, "Didn't you buy that flower?"
"Of course not." When Li Te said this, he had no shame on his face. "I know you don't like roses. If I bought you the flowers, how could I make such a low-level mistake?"
Charlize was confused, "Then this flower is..."
"I just brought it in by one of your fans at the door." Li Te shrugged.
"Oh!" Charlize covered his forehead in pain, and then he was about to go to the trash can to pick up the bouquet of flowers again.
"Forget it if you lose it, you have to lose it even if you can't spend two days." Lit stopped Charlize, then put his hands on her arms, looked into her eyes and said, "The most important thing is that fans have begun to notice you now. I believe this situation will become more and more frequent in the future, so you have to be mentally prepared."
Charlize was a little overwhelmed by Lit's words, but John interrupted, "But you still didn't tell us what was going on in that report?"
After John reminded him, Charlize also looked at Litt solemnly.
Li Te spread his hands and admitted all this happily: "Yes, I did this, including the words that made you into controversy, I said it on purpose."
"Why?" Charlize and John asked in unison.
Lit looked at John first, "You told me first that Stiller's movie might be targeted at us, so I had to take the lead and disrupt the other party's layout."
"But what's the difference between doing this and helping them directly?" John said it was difficult for him to understand.
"Of course there is a difference. If they take the initiative to provoke this controversy before the movie is released, everyone's attention will only focus on which of these two movies is better. Now, media in the United States are asking who Charlize is? The fans at the door have proved that Charlize has begun to receive attention from all sides. I know that this hype reputation cannot last, but Charlize's situation is different. She will soon have a movie to meet everyone in the summer season. I can guarantee that after this movie, all Americans will remember her! Be famous first, and then use their works to justify themselves. This is my plan."
John stopped talking, and Charlize looked at Lit with an excited look because she had completely misunderstood the other party.
"I'm sorry..."
Charlize tried to apologize to Litt, but Litt stopped him.
"Charlie, you don't have to rush to thank me now, because the challenge has just begun for you. For a long time in the future, you will have to endure the media's fingers at you. I don't know whether this is good or bad for you. I just want you to know that if there is a choice, I will definitely not do this, but now I really have no other way. If I don't start first, the other party will deal with us in the same way, and the result will definitely be much worse than it is now."
Charlize took a step forward, almost sticking her body to Lite. Then she put her hands on Lite's shoulders and looked over with a pair of beautiful eyes.
"No matter what decision you make, I will support you unconditionally!"
Lit naturally held Charlize's slender waist with both hands and looked at her gently.
"It's really OK to do anything?"
John couldn't stand it anymore and coughed and said, "Can we finish the matter first, and then you can continue the topic just now?"
Charlize nodded, but his body was not separated from Lit.
"Since you planned this, what should I do next?"
"John, first of all, you have to block all media interviews for Charlize. Even if someone wants to shoot advertisements and endorse them, they will refuse them!" Seeing that John was puzzled, Litt then explained: "Although we are using the matter with Cameron Diazbimei to help Charlize become famous, we must not admit this, and we must act to the outside world as a victim of this public opinion dispute. If Charlize takes the advertisement at this time, it is equivalent to confirming the fact that we are hyping up, and the nature of the whole thing will completely change at that time."
After saying this, John immediately realized the seriousness of the matter and nodded solemnly.
"What about me?" Charlize asked.
"You're simple. When you go out and wear sunglasses, you will immediately cover your face with your hands when you find someone taking a secret photo, and look like you don't want to be photographed."
"Will anyone think I'm playing a big shot?"
"The problem is that you are not a big name now. The more you do this, the more people will feel that you are innocent in this incident."
Speaking of this, Lite suddenly laughed because he remembered that Charlize was the one of the most uncooperative paparazzi among all Hollywood stars on the street. Every time she went out, she covered her face with sunglasses, and once she found someone taking photos, she immediately covered her face with her hands. At that time, some people said she was a big shot, and fans gave her the nickname "face-covering man" because most of her street photos were covered with her hands. Unexpectedly, this nickname would be born in advance in her hands.
