Chapter 251 Birthday Present
After returning from Eternal Films with a full load, Eve began to pack things at home, and then the house will almost be vacant until award season.
"Otherwise, you should bring less clothes, a few sets of clothes for each season is enough, and you should be able to buy clothes at the place where you shoot."
She said to herself, if you go to Australia, you need to prepare autumn clothes, and when you go to Zurich and Europe, you need autumn and early winter clothes.
At present, two boxes have been filled, and the third box has been filled more than half, and there are still many things that have not been put in.
This is totally moving!
Fortunately, it is a private jet, otherwise the luggage would be extremely troublesome.
Clothes, accessories, shoes, bags, it's not easy to go out.
What she's worried about now is her boyfriend's birthday, which will be in two days, and then she will formally meet Keanu's mother and sister, which will be a new experience for her.
It would be a lie to say that I am not nervous. Even if my boyfriend is an ordinary person, meeting parents is still a problem.
"Will she like me?"
"Will you accept me?"
"What did you talk about when we met?"
Foreigners also have conflicts between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. Eve has no intention of getting married at present, but she doesn't want Patricia to be an obstacle to getting married in the future.
The two parties have never met formally. This time, Patricia and Kim happened to be traveling in Australia and New Zealand, so the first time they met was in a foreign country.
In order to have something to talk about then, Eve made some small preparations.
As for the birthday gift, it is naturally well-prepared, and it is already in Sydney.
Seeing parents is an expression of serious feelings. If it is not a sincere love, I will never take it home to meet my family.
As long as they don't stay together, Eve actually doesn't mind the other party's family very much.
……
At the end of August, there were constant flights at Sydney International Airport. Olympic athletes from various countries had already arrived in Sydney in advance to prepare, and there were also a steady stream of tourists coming from all over the world.
So when Eve set foot on Australian soil again, she suddenly felt that there were too many people at the airport!
Aviation is very busy. Just now, the plane hovered in the air for more than 20 minutes before landing according to the instructions of the tower.
Keanu, who hadn't seen him for a long time, was already waiting on the tarmac. The sunglasses on his face were not the ones in the movie, but Ray-Ban's aviator sunglasses. Standing there was a beautiful landscape.
Eve ran over and hugged her boyfriend wearing sneakers, she said with a smile, "You look like a model taking pictures, you look very handsome!"
"You are beautiful today too, I miss you very much." Keanu wrapped his arms around his girlfriend's waist, bowed his head and kissed her.
He returned to Sydney with the crew more than two weeks ago to continue filming. He can only make phone calls at ordinary times. It is not easy to be together for so long now.
The airport staff next to them couldn't help but look at the two lingering people. Although they couldn't see their faces clearly, their figures and temperament were top-notch.
Eve's hand was being held by her boyfriend, she was naturally very happy, she looked at her suitcases, and said with a smile: "Can the car you drive today hold so much luggage?
"
"I drove an off-road vehicle today, it's definitely okay." Keanu stacked the suitcases flat on the trolley, and then walked towards the underground garage. He didn't think the luggage was too much at all.
Sometimes when filming outside with the crew, he has so many suitcases, let alone a girl.
Eve looked at her watch, it was Western Time in the United States, but now it was about to switch to Sydney Time.
"Let's not go back to the hotel. I asked someone else to book your birthday gift. It just so happens that you have time to go and see it today.".
Keanu was a little strange, "My birthday present? Why didn't you wait for my birthday to give it to me?"
"You'll know when you go."
Eve turned over the map, and she pointed to the north and said, "This is today's destination. A person in the Golden Retriever Club found on the Internet said that his golden retriever gave birth to five little golden retrievers, so I contacted him." After a while, I passed the phone interview."
She and her boyfriend had been talking about getting a dog before, and Keanu even thought of a name.
But I've been busy all the time, and I don't have time to buy or adopt.
Eve's dubbing work was relatively easy before, so she searched online and offline for a lot of opinions, and finally decided not to go to the pet store to buy those dogs. Those dogs are likely to be products of puppy factories.
The owner of this golden retriever has a lot of requirements for the owner of the puppy, observing whether it is suitable for raising small animals, rather than directly measuring by the price. .
Keanu showed a surprised smile, "You actually found a puppy in Sydney?"
"You know, this is the information society, and the earth has become a village." Eve added: "Now the puppy has not been weaned, we just go to visit it every week, play with it, let it follow us as soon as possible know."
It is definitely unrealistic to take a dog to Sydney from the United States. It is better to find it directly in Australia. Anyway, Keanu will be filming here for a long time. When "The Matrix" is finished, the puppy should be able to travel long distances. Time to bring it back to America.
"Thank you, this is a great gift." Keanu said while driving, he has indeed wanted to get a dog for some time.
Eve sighed and said: "The main reason is that the timing is not very good. Australia thinks that the best time for dogs is generally after 8 weeks. They don't agree to bring dogs home early."
She is purely trying her luck online, and it is difficult to match them together in terms of time.
"How old is the dog now?" Keanu asked curiously.
"It's been six weeks, and I can bring it back in two weeks."
Now it's time to visit the puppy once in a while and socialize with him, a gift that obviously can't be delivered on his birthday.
"I never knew that Golden Retrievers actually have this kind of online club."
Keanu was eye-opening.
Eve, who was sitting in the co-pilot, shrugged: "I also asked my dad to find out. Before he went to China, he would often take Enzo out to party and play with the owners of the golden retriever."
Fortunately, the family has a golden retriever, otherwise such a small circle would have no way of knowing.
This kind of channel is very rare. Dog owners sincerely want their puppies to have a good return.
Suspension, it won't be squeezed like a puppy factory.
The vehicle gradually headed towards the north of Sydney, and Keanu occasionally took advantage of the traffic lights to look at the map.
The more it drives, the more secluded it becomes. The surrounding buildings are all single-family villas and mansions, and there is a trace of a river next to it. The overall rhythm slows down a lot.
"It seems that the owner of the dog is quite rich, no wonder he is so picky about the owner of the puppy."
Eve murmured to herself that before that, she just talked about Enzo with the dog owner, and didn't disclose the content.
"I just saw a small white yacht on the river. Am I wrong?"
"Probably not. The river should not be far from the mouth of the sea. The backs of these villas face the river. They must have their own private docks."
Keanu has been here in Sydney for a long time, so he has naturally seen similar houses.
He parked the car at the entrance of a villa, got out of the car with his girlfriend, and rang the doorbell together.
Inside the iron fence is a well-kept green lawn. Several big trees block the sunlight, and the hanging branches and leaves sway gently with the wind.
After the doorbell rang, a male voice came from the intercom next to it: "Hello?"
"Hello, Mr. Nelson, I'm Eve, who had contacted you before. I'm here with my boyfriend to see the puppy. Is it convenient now?"
Although Eve has made an appointment in advance, she still has to make it clear.
"Miss Campbell? You are welcome."
After the intercom fell silent, the iron fence gate slowly opened.
Keanu and Eve walked in, the wooden door of the house opened from the inside, and a Caucasian couple in their thirties came out of the house.
It's just that when they saw the two people at the door, they were stunned almost at the same time, with incredible expressions on their faces.
"Good afternoon, Mr. Nelson." Eve spoke first.
Eddie Nelson looked at the couple in front of him in surprise, and responded a little slowly: "I thought it was people with the same name and surname, but I didn't expect it was really you."
When receiving Eve's information, Eddie checked her online, and joked with his wife that he had collided with a Hollywood star, but he didn't expect two Hollywood stars to really stand at the door right now!
Delia Nelson quickly made an inviting gesture: "Come in, our puppies are still here."
Neither Keanu nor Eve, who came to other people's houses as guests, wore sunglasses, which must be impolite.
She handed a bottle of wine in her hand to the hostess, "I'm sorry I didn't reveal my identity in advance."
"No, no, it's our fault. You told us all the names, but we didn't believe it." Delia was a little excited, "Maybe it's a bit exaggerated, but I'm really your fan. Yesterday I told you Di Cai watched "Reaper is Coming" at home, because I went to see "Reaper 2" a few days ago and found it was not good, fortunately you didn't act in that movie."
Eddie nodded again and again, and he reached out to shake Keanu, "I didn't expect you to want to keep a pet. I'm a little confused now. Do you really have enough time to accompany it?"
The star in the movie is indeed very excited standing in front of him, but this does not mean that he will hand over the unweaned puppy to the other party.
Star status is not a bonus item, but it has become a deduction item here!
For the audience, they feel that all the Hollywood stars spend their days and nights, all running around and living in no fixed place. This state is obviously not suitable for keeping a dog.
Keanu nodded, "Of course. In fact, we are just office workers like everyone else. It's just that our job is to act, and your job may be to sit in the office. I have always liked dogs, and I leave work every day before going to work. There will be enough time later…”
Eve on the side suddenly wanted to laugh. It sounded a bit like a son-in-law coming to marry someone else's daughter. Did Keanu say that to his father at the time?
