Chapter 635 Talents Come Out of Arkham

Leaving Sky Dance Pictures, Matthew got into the car and asked the driver to go back to Beverly Hills. Yesterday, Lily Collins called him suddenly and made an appointment to have lunch at Mr. Zhou's restaurant at noon today.

In the past two years, he and Lily Collins have only contacted by email intermittently. Lily Collins' mother, probably out of educational considerations, let Lily Collins go to Oxford University as an exchange student to study literature for a period of time. Just recently transferred back to USC.

According to Lily Collins on the phone, she is not planning to go to the UK again this time.

On the way back to Beverly Hills, unfortunately, he encountered a traffic jam caused by a car accident. The Mercedes-Benz car was parked in place for a long time and could not move. Matthew simply picked up the Batman comic and read it for a while.

In this comic about Arkham Asylum, in addition to Batman, there are many famous characters, such as The Joker, Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy, etc.

After more than half of the comic was read, the Mercedes-Benz car slowly moved forward. Matthew called Lily Collins and told her that she might be late for a while.

The speed of the car was very slow. Matthew read the comic, threw it aside, turned his head to look out the window, and found that on the huge billboard in the distance, the pre-promotional poster of "The Dark Knight" shot by Christopher Nolan was already high Erected, the Batman and Joker above are very eye-catching.

When I saw the poster, I remembered the comic I just turned over. He, an ignorant person, suddenly became very poetic.

Of course, he can't write any poetry himself, but directly applies the characters of Batman and Gotham to the so-called poetic style that was widely used in smartphone app reviews.

For example, "Mr. Guo, Bingqing Yujie***", etc., appeared very frequently in the comment column of articles pushed by many browsers at that time.

This kind of poetry can be applied to Batman and Gotham characters.

Because of the traffic jam, Matthew was bored and thought: "The folk customs of Gotham City are simple, and talents are born in Arkham. Virtue and art are good clowns, good doctors and clown girls. Honest businessmen Penguin, diligent and good riddlers. Environmental protection guard Poison ivy Female, a model husband who freezes people. Fair and two-faced person, light as a red hood. Chicken soup scarecrow for the soul, bone-setting massage to find Bain. The channel clears the man-eating crocodile, and the black mask is sympathetic to the people's feelings. Love animals, beautiful catwoman, unscrupulous City Manager Batman..."

He couldn't make it any longer, looked back at the "Dark Knight" billboard that was getting farther and farther, and could only sigh inwardly: Master will always be Master.

More than 40 minutes later, the Mercedes-Benz car finally arrived at Mr. Zhou's restaurant, nearly 25 minutes later than the agreed time.

"Sorry, Lily."

Matthew's first sentence when he saw Lily-Collins was to apologize, "The traffic jam on the road has made you wait for a long time."

Lily Collins stood up, opened her arms and hugged Matthew, and said, "It's okay, I just came over for a while." The two separated, she tilted her head and looked at Matthew, "You are still so handsome."

Matthew also deliberately looked at her. Lily Collins was wearing khaki slim-fit trousers, an off-white sweater on top, and a dark gray small suit jacket over it. The handsomeness that is unique to women in the new era.

"Lily." Matthew praised sincerely, "You are getting more and more beautiful."

He waited until Lily Collins sat down, then pulled out the chair and sat opposite Lily Collins, and said, "You were beautiful when you were young, and now you have the same beauty as Audrey Hepburn."

The waiter came over at this time, and after the two finished ordering, Lily Collins continued the topic just now, "How can I compare to Audrey Hepburn? Look at Hepburn's photos and movies, I can't compare."

Matthew casually said, "There were no high-definition cameras and camcorders in that era, which was a blessing for female stars, which allowed them to keep their brightest side."

Lily Collins thought for a while, "It seems... as if you're right."

"Isn't that so?" Matthew said with a smile.

"Look at today's high-definition lenses and cameras, even paparazzi cameras can capture the tiniest pores on the face, so people are saying that today's actresses are not as beautiful as they used to be, because all they see is Photographs taken before."

"Yeah." Lily-Collins agreed with Matthew's statement, "The development of photography technology has made it impossible for any flaw on a woman's face to escape the capture of the camera."

The two had dealt with each other a lot before, although they had not seen each other for a long time because Lily Collins went to the UK, but after a few words from Matthew, the only sense of strangeness and alienation disappeared. trace.

The waiter brought the dishes they ordered one after another, and Matthew continued the topic while eating, "If you compare the pictures of current female stars dressed up with the pictures left by those female stars in the golden age, it will never be the same. Falling behind, you will even win by a lot.”

Lily Collins disagreed a little, "Not necessarily?"

Matthew forked a piece of beef into his mouth and shook Lily Collins with a finger.

"Why?" Lily Collins asked curiously.

"Because you can retouch pictures." Matthew swallowed the beef in his mouth and said, "Even if there was retouching technology in those days, it is definitely not as good as now. Today's PS can allow a woman to have the most perfect body and face. "

Lily-Collins didn't expect Matthew to say that and laughed.

Matthew added, "Don't forget, the current plastic surgery technology is unmatched in that era."

Hearing this, the smile on Lily Collins' face suddenly disappeared, he hesitated for a while, or asked, "Don't you like people who have had plastic surgery?"

Matthew glanced at Lily Collins. Compared with the last time we met, there seemed to be some less obvious changes. He noticed it just before the two embraced. He thought that Lily Collins had grown up and her face had grown. It has also become more refined.

Now that she says that, is it... Lily Collins is very beautiful, with a delicate face that blends Eastern and Western aesthetics.

As if he didn't notice anything, Matthew said, "It's actually nothing and normal. Which Hollywood actress hasn't had it? It can also make an already beautiful person become more perfect."

A smile appeared on Lily Collins' face.

"What I can't stand is the kind of complete plastic surgery." Matthew thought about the once-the-top snake face and said, "The kind of plastic surgery has completely changed its appearance. Many people seem to be carved out of a mold. It's scary to think about."

"Yeah." Lily Collins nodded vigorously, "I think so too."

She leaned a little closer and said in a low voice, "I went back to Los Angeles last year and had a minor adjustment."

Matthew deliberately looked at her, "Can't you see?"

Indeed, even if Lily Collins has basically no makeup, there is no trace of plastic surgery in the past.

Lily Collins pointed to her nose, "Here."

Matthew shook his head, "I still can't see it."

"Really?" Lily Collins laughed even more. "You didn't mean to make me happy, did you?"

Matthew emphasized, "You're so beautiful in the first place."

Lily Collins covered her mouth and laughed, and after a while, she said, "I haven't seen you for so long, you are still the Matthew I am familiar with."

"Huh?" Matthew wondered, "What kind of Matthew?"

"Friends, idols..." Lily Collins looked very serious, "Learning goals and role models."

Matthew put down his fork and said, "I'm not a good example to learn from."

To follow his words, you have to go down the wrong road.

"No! You are!" Lily Collins said very firmly. "You have worked your way from an extra to the current star!"

Matthew heard something from this and asked, "Lily, don't you want to be an actor?"

Lily Collins nodded vigorously, "Yes! I have quit my part-time job as the host of Nickelodeon International Children's Channel, and I want to be an actor." She looked at Matthew with a firm look, "I want to be a big star like you. ."

"Have you thought about it?" Matthew's impression of Lily Collins is still quite good, "Isn't there any objection in your family?"

Lily Collins responded immediately, "No objection. My mom and dad both agreed with me on this path."

Hearing her words, Matthew suddenly remembered that Lily Collins' parents are also in the entertainment industry, and her daughter actually has an advantage in developing this way than in other areas.

"This road is not easy." Lily Collins made a good impression on him, so Matthew said a few more words, "Lily, even if your parents can help, you have to be mentally prepared."

Lily Collins put down her fork, wiped her mouth with a napkin, and said, "I know." She seemed mature. "It's not easy for a girl to succeed either way."

Matthew recognized this, "It's rare for you to think so."

"Matthew, I'm looking for you this time, and I'm actually here to ask for your help." Lily Collins scratched the curly hair on her head, hesitated for a while, and then said, "Did you invest in a Twilight Saga? "? I love this series. Before I come back from London, have my mother deliver a resume to your crew... oh, my mother is now my temporary agent."

She glanced at Matthew. "I wanted to apply for the role of Alice Cullen, but the casting director brushed me off."

Matthew is not disgusted. He has also used resources rationally. He asked, "You didn't mention that we are friends."

"No." Lily-Collins said honestly, "I want to try it myself first, if it doesn't work, I will call you."

She smiled embarrassedly, "That's why I came to find you."

Matthew thought about it for a while. Lily Collins' looks and temperament are undoubtedly the best choice. If she has acting skills... This series doesn't need much acting skills. If her acting skills can't even meet the most basic requirements, he won't work either.

"Let's do it, Lily." Matthew said directly, "I will say hello to the crew. You go to the role audition. If you fail the audition, I can't use you. This project is not just my investment."

"Yeah!" Lily Collins tapped her pointed chin hard, "I understand."

Like some favors, it is always unavoidable in auditions, not only Lily Collins, but Matthew then agreed to a person introduced by Michael Bay to participate in the audition.

Of course he wouldn't use someone who couldn't pass the audition.
