Wall Street bigwigs!
Chapter 29 Uma's Plan
Just as Uma thought, her looks weren't top-tier.
Fortunately, he was young, clean, and in good shape, making him the first partner Green was willing to keep by his side.
"Okay, then I'll wait for you to come back so I can see if your acting has improved. Otherwise, wouldn't all my tuition fees have been wasted?" Green said with a smile.
During the conversation, Uma seemed to remember something, paused for a moment, and then continued.
"I've met quite a few people since I arrived. I even saw Marlon Brando at school the other day..."
Green smirked. The reason he chose this school for Uma was because Stella Academy of Performing Arts had produced many famous people.
Among them were Marlon Brando and others, so it's not surprising to see each other at school.
"Try to build good relationships with your teachers and classmates. You know, connections are sometimes more useful than money."
"I know, I really want to help you," Uma said softly.
Green had discussed this issue with her in detail the night before he brought her here.
After hanging up the phone, Uma thought of a classmate who had given her the ultimate visual shock.
That fair and delicate face, speaking English with a slight French accent.
The key is those lake-blue eyes, like they hold the moonlight of the Seine.
What's most outrageous is that her eyes have an inherent sense of brokenness.
Coupled with her unforgettable face and her classic French and Italian charm, she easily evokes a strong protective instinct in men.
Uma has seen no fewer than twenty people hand her their business cards in just one week of classes, and even school teachers have tried to get closer to her under the pretext of helping her introduce scripts.
Uma, on the other hand, took a different approach. Her clothing, her BMW, and her luxurious apartment on Sunset Boulevard all displayed her wealth.
Initially, some people subtly inquired about Uma's family background, but Uma didn't care and casually said that everything was provided by her boyfriend.
At the same time, Uma was willing to spend money to unite her classmates and teachers, and this kind of thing is common in Hollywood.
So even if people gossip about her in private, they won't speak ill of her. Instead, they envy her for finding a sugar daddy at such a young age.
Instead of being pleased by his classmates' praise, Uma was constantly worried that he would lose his current position in Green's eyes.
She doesn't want to go back to her old life.
Thinking about this, Uma gradually formed a bold idea: men are all lustful creatures; even if they were hung on the wall, they would still prefer 18-year-old girls, or perhaps even younger! (Western)
Silent all night.
The next day, Uma arrived at the school building ahead of time in her BMW.
Uma sat quietly in the car, looking eastward and waiting for that figure.
A few minutes later, a girl wearing a white dress, a sun hat, and with her eyes downcast appeared in Uma's line of sight.
Even though she wears ordinary clothes and doesn't have any accessories, she always attracts attention whenever she walks down the street.
Uma quickly got out of the passenger seat with her LV handbag and called out to the other person, "Hi, good morning, Cristiana."
"Uh, good morning, Uma."
Christina was a little flustered; the enthusiasm of America was different from that of France.
In less than two weeks, Christina experienced how Hollywood treats ordinary people.
In this circle, everything is viewed with a critical eye, especially women, like buying meat in a supermarket.
"Where do you live? Don't you drive?"
Looking at the other person's face, Uma felt a little jealous.
She knew about Christina's financial situation, and the reason she asked that question was mainly to start a conversation.
"Not yet, I just arrived in Los Angeles and don't have a driver's license."
"Christiana said, smoothing her long brown hair."
"Then I'll take you home after school this afternoon, okay? Let's go, or the teacher will yell at us if we're late."
Uma then took Christina's arm and walked towards the building.
This enthusiastic attitude left Christiana somewhat bewildered.
She and Uma had only been taking classes together for a week and weren't familiar with each other, but now Uma's behavior made them seem like best friends.
But she couldn't say anything, so she could only be pulled upstairs by Uma and back to the classroom.
The classmates were surprised to see Uma and Christina walk in hand in hand. When did these two become so close?
They scoffed at Uma's good fortune and wished they could replace her, while they mostly cursed Christina and then tried to destroy her.
Today's teacher is someone who worked in Hollywood for over ten years. Last time, he was the one who wanted to take Christine to meet some so-called big shot.
Today he observed Christina again, and stood beside her during his lectures.
Several times, she was selected individually for physical performances, and then I personally taught her how to do the postures and movements.
Uma was not far from Christina, and her brows furrowed slightly as she saw this.
She was fully aware of her teacher's purpose, since the two of them had almost the same motives for approaching Christina.
Uma pursed her lips and then continued the lesson absentmindedly.
At noon, Uma specially took Christina to a nearby upscale restaurant.
Christina was somewhat puzzled by Uma's enthusiasm. She had been beautiful since childhood, so she had a natural wariness of unwarranted closeness.
During the meal, Uma gave Christina a brief analysis of the teacher's purpose from the morning.
Some things are better left unsaid, in case Christina herself has such thoughts.
So Uma decided to reassess whether the other person was worth it, even though she hadn't been with Green for very long.
But she knew some of Green's little details very well; cleanliness was just as important as beauty.
For the next few days, Uma and Christina were inseparable; they did everything together at school.
Uma gradually learned about Christina's family situation.
Cristiana's father was an international journalist, so the family immigrated to France because of the Brazilian dictatorship.
Her mother was a painter, and she was immersed in art from a young age, so Christina was fluent in three languages from childhood.
She chose to study in the United States because her father had previously collaborated with American media.
Christina starred in her first film, "The Shopkeeper," when she was 15 years old.
However, in the French film industry, her acting skills are only good enough to make her a pretty face; she can't accept scripts that even slightly test acting ability.
Moreover, there is an unwritten rule in the European independent art film circle: to become famous, one must dedicate oneself to art.
Christina privately complained to Uma that she didn't want older men touching her, which is why she chose to come to Hollywood to learn more.
However, her family was already struggling to support her studies in the United States, so she had to hone her acting skills and English proficiency as soon as possible and then look for opportunities.
Uma Thurman spoke empathetically about many of the things she encountered in her first film, including how she was betrayed by her agent at a Wall Street cocktail party.
Christina was very surprised when she heard this, never expecting that the glamorous Uma had encountered such a thing.
This also served as a reminder to Cristiana that she must be careful when choosing an agent.
Seeing Christina's concerned look, Uma nonchalantly said that she was lucky to have met her boyfriend, Green.
Uma recounted the embarrassing incident when she first met Green at a party, and then happily spoke of Green's talent and ability, and how gentlemanly and considerate he was to her.
Green also wholeheartedly supported his desire to continue his acting career.
Not only did he spend a lot of money to send himself to Hollywood for further studies, but he also bought him a car, rented an apartment, and provided him with $10,000 a month for living expenses.
After hearing this, Christina had a very good impression of Green and also envied Uma for having such a good boyfriend.
