[US Entertainment] Superstar

Chapter 402

Time flies, Keanu has already circled the earth and returned to Los Angeles unknowingly, and the movie "The Matrix 2" he starred in has been released around the world for nearly two weeks and has achieved very impressive results. score.

The film is more commercialized than the first film, and as a result, the box office is higher than before, but the media evaluation and audience evaluation are lagging behind.

Warner Bros. Pictures positions it as a commercial blockbuster. If the box office is high, it will wake up, and if the evaluation is low, it will only affect the development of the sequel.

This year, the unmarried couple are showing their talents. In the summer, Eve's three movies are bombing in turn. By the end of the year, it will be Keanu who detonates the global box office. Next, they will be seen in movie theaters.

It happened that both of them finished their work, so they simply rented a small yacht to go out to sea, so as to avoid the pursuit of the paparazzi.

To be honest, Eve is not a good fisherman. In fact, the purpose of her trip is to relax herself and take a look at the scenery.

The white clouds on the blue sea cast shadows under the sunshine.The sea is very stormy, and the salty sea breeze makes Eve have to wear sunglasses to open her eyes. This yacht is constantly ups and downs with the waves. If people who are seasick come here, it may be hell.

"Can I see whales today? I'm afraid of whales and I like them a little bit, especially beluga whales. They look so beautiful." Eve leaned on the side of the boat, wearing a windproof and waterproof outdoor sports jacket, full of enthusiasm for the trip. expect.

But Keanu next to him poured cold water: "There are many whale watching boats here in Los Angeles, but we have to pray that we don't encounter them, because this boat is really not big enough, maybe it's not as big as a whale, and it will encounter a breakdown Just trouble."

For the sake of low-key and privacy, they did not rent a large yacht, but a five-meter-long private yacht, which is suitable for family gatherings.Anyway, Keanu has his own driver's license, so he took Eve out to sea under the guidance of the radar.

White seagulls flapped their wings to follow the ship, and the whistle of a large cruise ship could be heard in the distance.After looking into the distance for a while, Eve squatted down to sort out the fishing tackle and bait for the two of them. She didn't want to return empty-handed.

The bait was bought before going out to sea, including live sardines, sliced ​​squid, and unknown bugs. No one here used earthworms to fish, which made Eve a little disappointed.

After all the weather was calm, Keanu turned off the yacht engine, parked the boat and came to the deck at the bow. The two threw out the fishing rod with bait and waited silently for the fish to take the bait.

Eve stared intently at the fishing rod, and she whispered, "Otherwise, let's compete to see who has better luck. If I catch more fish, then you will take Snoopy out for a walk tomorrow."

Keanu poured a glass of juice and put it in his girlfriend's hand, and replied confidently: "Of course it's okay to compare, but my condition is not to walk the dog, but how about you cooking a meal?"

Eve wanted to sleep in. Walking the dog was usually his job, so to change the conditions, he used the fish he caught today as the raw material.

Usually, both of them are a bit busy, even if they are resting at home, they don't bother to cook. They both hire special chefs or go to restaurants outside, and rarely have the opportunity to cook by themselves.

Taste is actually not important, it’s just that cooking at home has a more ritual and family atmosphere.If you are after the taste, you can send the caught fish to the chef of the restaurant for processing.

Eve agreed without thinking about it. One was confident in her fishing skills, and the other wanted to go to the kitchen to do it.

"That's a good proposal. I want to change the terms. If you lose, you cook. If I lose, I cook. How about it?"

Now it was Keanu's turn to be speechless. He silently picked up the glass and took a sip of juice, "Are you sure you want to let me into the kitchen? I'm afraid of blowing up the kitchen."

"You should know some basic cooking skills, right?" Eve won't change her mind easily, "I just want to see how you are scrambling in the kitchen. If it doesn't work, you can use a steamer or an oven to solve it."

A lot of food here in western food is thrown into the oven after the ingredients are adjusted, which is quite simple and trouble-free.

"You know, I came to Hollywood after high school, and I have never had the opportunity to enter the kitchen. In the kitchen, I basically only cook fried eggs or fried bacon, boiled eggs, and soaked cereal for breakfast."

Keanu looked embarrassed and looked very reluctant.

However, this was completely pretended, because he knew that the more he resisted, the more energetic his girlfriend would be, and the cooperation was quite good.

Sure enough, Eve didn't even notice that her boyfriend was acting. She kept looking forward to tonight's kitchen show, "It's not too late to learn to cook now. If we both retire someday, I just need you to cook and support me." I."

"You only eat this little every day. Even if you go bankrupt now, the two of us will not live on the streets." Keanu has a deep understanding of the financial resources of both parties, and as long as there are people watching movies, he will always get dividends.

Eve's daring to make this bet is entirely based on the premise that the fishing skills of the two of them are almost the same. They have gone fishing together before, and Keanu is also a person who relies on luck to eat. Whether he can catch it depends entirely on luck, without skills to speak of.

Just as the two were sitting on the deck chair chatting, the fishing rod inserted in the right hand suddenly moved a few times. Eve immediately raised her vigilance and whispered, "A fish has been hooked!"

After finishing speaking, she immediately lifted the fishing rod up, took the rod with her left hand and quickly rolled the pulley with her right hand to take up the line, and the action was done in one go.

While Eve was reeling in the line, Keanu also tacitly picked up the small fishing net in his hand, and stood on the side of the boat to help catch the fish.

"Is it a big fish?"

"It doesn't seem to be the case. The resistance is relatively small." Eve said, while reeling the thread vigorously, and the effect of the previous exercise in the gym was finally displayed.

A few seconds later, when Keanu saw a colorful fish flopping beside the boat, he decisively caught it with a net and fished it out.

Eve was not Miss Jiao Didi, so she didn't care about the fishy smell, so she leaned over her directly, and then frowned instantly.

The fish in front of him was still struggling in the net, looking very ferocious, with spikes on the reddish-brown skin, as if saying that he was by no means a good person.

"What kind of fish is this?" Keanu was a little confused. He had only eaten many different types of fish, but it was difficult to identify the live species.

Eve was also at a loss. After a brief visual inspection of the length, she said, "This fish doesn't look very tasty. There are only so many spines on the surface, and it's only less than five inches. Let's put it back."

It is not a good habit to judge people by their appearance, but this fish saved its life because of its fierce and ugly appearance.

In the United States, there are clear regulations on the size of fishing. Fish in juvenile or growing stages are not allowed to be taken back privately, and must be released.

Keanu also agrees very much, this fish is not easy to cook no matter what, it is best to throw it back.

Eve was afraid of being stabbed by the fish, so she put on gloves and unhooked the fish. The fish struggled hard, throwing a lot of sea water on her body and face.

After a lot of tossing, she put it back into the sea, then turned to her boyfriend and said, "Is this supposed to be my catch?"

"Wait a minute, do we count by the quantity or weight of the catch." Keanu was rare to be serious. "Wouldn't it be unfair if you caught a few small fish and I caught a big one."

"There is no scale on the boat, so it depends on the quantity. If it is really too big, even two or even three, I am not a person who will cheat."

It's just out to play, and the competition is just to add some fun to life, it doesn't really need to be ranked first and second.

Now that Eve misses the Internet age so much, at least she can find out what the fish is called and whether it can be eaten.Even if you can't find it, you can post it on the Internet to ask knowledgeable netizens for advice. Now you can only look at it and put it back.

Like the purest sapphire, the sea was gently rippling, and Eve was blown drowsy by the sun and the sea breeze. Her eyelids could hardly be opened, and she slowly fell asleep beside her boyfriend.

Keanu didn't pay attention to the situation of the fishing rod either. He kept half of his body stiff, not wanting to wake up his girlfriend with too much movement, but silently pulled the blanket next to him with his left hand and gently covered the two of them.

Recently, I was tired because I was physically tired from running the publicity campaign, while the girl next to me was under both physical and mental pressure. She won the Best Actress Award at the Venice Film Festival and did not relax to celebrate.

In fact, when he heard that the internal preview of "Little Miss Sunshine" had a good reputation, he was really happy for Eve, because she put a lot of time and effort into the film, which deserves everyone's praise.

The sound of the waves, seagulls flapping their wings and crying, like a lullaby, Keanu couldn't help but close his eyes, leaning against his girlfriend's head, and fell into a deep sleep.

After an unknown amount of time, Eve suddenly felt the violent shaking of the fishing rod beside her, so she suddenly opened her eyes, and subconsciously began to reel in the line.

This subconscious movement woke up Keanu who was next to him. He pushed his sunglasses to his forehead and asked, "What's wrong? You woke up suddenly?"

"There should be a big fish taking the bait!"

Eve's drowsiness has long been thrown out of the sky, and she is lucky to meet big guys while sleeping.

She felt that the resistance of pulling up the line was very high, which was not at the same level as that of the little fish just now, and she almost gritted her teeth.

Seeing his girlfriend struggling, Keanu immediately stepped forward and exchanged positions with her. When retrieving the line, it’s not that the more strength the better, but that it should be fast or slow. Pulling and releasing will consume the fish’s energy so as not to break free. or disconnected.

"It's really a big deal. I'm really going to the kitchen tonight." Keanu joked while reeling in the cable.

Eve held the net and followed the direction of the line with her eyes. Under the refraction of the light, there was a big silver-white fish splashing in the water, splashing waves of water.

"Although I don't know what kind of fish it is, there is one dish you should be able to cook. Sashimi should be very simple, right?"

The desperately struggling fish has been regarded as a meal on the plate.

Keanu wasn't in the mood to answer the conversation right now, because he wasn't considered a good fisherman, so he wouldn't dare to be distracted when he met such a big guy, and he would regret it for a long time if he was run away.

After a stalemate for a while, Eve quickly squatted down and caught the fish with a fishing net. Then Keanu quickly put down the fishing rod, held the fishing net rod, and brought it directly to the deck.

The vitality of this fish is very strong, even if it is caught in the net, the tail is still struggling, slapping the deck and making a snapping sound.

"Phew, it's finally pulled up. With this fish, we will return with a full reward when we go out to sea."

"Come on, let's set sail back to the voyage, let me see how your cooking skills are!" Eve was so happy at the moment, she took out the camera directly from the cabin, and prepared to take a photo as a souvenir.
