Chapter 546: 479 Childhood Goddess (Reward Extra Chapter Completed, Asking for Monthly Pass!)
If one were to enumerate the affluent areas of America,
Beverly Hills in Los Angeles would certainly be on the list.
Facing the picturesque ocean and backed by the Beverly Hills, its prime location boasts many celebrity homes in Hollywood.
Thanks to the rich and famous, the land value here constantly soars, with each mansion priced over ten million dollars; Rodeo Drive, at the center, rivals Manhattan’s Fifth Avenue as a shopping paradise.
The Beverly Hills Hotel and the Four Seasons Hotel Beverly Hills are situated on either side of Rodeo Drive, surrounded by hundreds of high-fashion couture boutiques, akin to the ivory towers of the fashion world.
Each year, countless tourists from all over the world come here to travel, possibly capturing a Hollywood big shot walking their dog in their camera lenses while snapping street views.
Therefore, this place is also particularly beloved by entertainment journalists and paparazzi, which might be why Thomas Felton didn’t arrange for Jiang Chen and his party to stay here.
"Mr. Jiang, we’ve arrived."
Beverly Hills.
In front of a white mansion.
Peter parked the car.
Jiang Chen opened the door to get out, then deliberately paused for a moment.
Pei Yunxi, who followed him out of the car, didn’t show any shyness and naturally held his wrist.
It should be just basic politeness, without any extra meaning.
Under the twinkling stars, the mansion before them shone brightly, with a shimmering swimming pool and lush gardens, while the wide courtyard was arranged like the scene of a high-end cocktail party.
Men and women dressed in radiant and luxurious clothes mingled, holding champagne and laughing.
At the arched entrance.
Four black-suited bodyguards stood with their hands behind their backs, wearing earpieces and vigilantly scanning their surroundings.
What is high society?
This is it.
"Jiang, you’ve finally arrived."
As Jiang Chen and his companion reached the entrance, the guards were about to step forward and inquire, but Thomas Felton came over laughing.
The usually unkempt director was unusually dressed in a sharp suit today; his full beard must have been styled to be trimmer, making him look much younger.
He warmly hugged Jiang Chen, then turned to Pei Yunxi and sincerely admired, "Pei, you look beautiful today."
For such an occasion, Pei Yunxi had, of course, dressed up diligently, fully aware that tonight’s cocktail party might be her first step into Hollywood.
K.E is a representative brand in the couture women’s clothing field, and her attire for the party was naturally without needing to seek help from others. The yet-to-be-released aurora gold-brown gradient gown was complicated and exquisite, a testament to its design mastery.
More crucially, Pei Yunxi’s perfect figure highlighted the gown’s elegance to the fullest, rather than evoking a sense of waste, attaining a perfect complementarity.
On the way here, Jiang Chen had jokingly teased her for seeming like an advertisement for K.E.
Of course, with the aid of Hollywood celebrities, regaining K.E’s reputation would indeed be more effective.
"Director Felton, I thought I had recognized the wrong person for a moment."
Pei Yunxi smiled gracefully, humorously joking as she looked at the totally transformed Thomas Felton.
Her lightly curled hair lazily cascaded down to her snowy shoulders, and shimmering circular earrings dangled on her translucent earlobes, complemented by a face that transcended cultural barriers with its stunning beauty.
In comparison, Jiang Chen seemed much more conventional, dressed in a brown Givenchy casual outfit, very relaxed. He had a simple requirement: as long as he didn’t become the "cow dung" among the flowers, as for the rest... it didn’t really matter.
After all, he wasn’t someone who relied on his looks to make a living.
"Wow, wow... oh my god, I think I just saw Aphrodite."
Several exclamations came from behind Thomas Felton, the middle-aged man dazzled by Pei Yunxi’s beauty, his gaze shining with astonishment.
Thomas Felton turned around: "Let me introduce you, this is Jiang, my good friend..."
"Felton, I’ll do it myself."
The distinguished-looking man interrupted the director, gave Jiang Chen a warm smile, "Jiang, I’m glad to meet you, I’m Mario Cassano."
Mario Cassano?
Jiang Chen, of course, had never heard this name, but anyone attending this party was likely no ordinary person.
Moreover, as a famous Hollywood director, not just anybody had the privilege to be informal with Thomas Felton.
And besides,
to shift his focus from Pei Yunxi so quickly was not something just anyone could do.
"Mr. Cassano, I’m pleased to meet you," Jiang Chen immediately expressed his friendliness with humility.
"Haha, I’m pleased as well. Jiang, I must say, you’re even younger and more handsome than I imagined, you could give my younger self a run for his money."
The characteristic humor of Westerners.
Whether it was sincere or not, at least they all went along with the laughter.
The atmosphere was harmonious and cheerful.
"I must excuse myself, I hope the two of you have a good time here tonight."
Mario Cassano shook hands with Jiang Chen, exchanged a few pleasantries, then left.
"He’s an investor in Paramount Pictures, a rare fellow who isn’t too old-fashioned; tonight’s venue, this mansion, it’s his," explained Thomas Felton.
Jiang Chen suddenly realized.
Anyone who’s seen a Hollywood blockbuster should recognize the name Paramount Pictures, one of the titans that undoubtedly dominate Hollywood.
Being an investor in Paramount Pictures, one can imagine his status in Hollywood and the film industry.
"Let’s go inside."
Thomas Felton said.
Jiang Chen nodded.
The welcome banquet tonight was of high specifications.
With just a brief glance around, Jiang Chen recognized many familiar faces, those men and women mingling with their drinks had only been seen on the big screen before. Sexy and stunning women passed by now and then, and from their proud figures, it was needless to say that eight or nine out of ten were probably world top models.
It was like a mini red carpet event.
If paparazzi were here, there probably wouldn’t be enough film to capture it all.
Suddenly.
Jiang Chen’s gaze inadvertently swept in one direction, then fixed in place, and he couldn’t help but pause in his steps.
Pei Yunxi, who was beside him, quickly noticed his abnormality and followed his gaze with a hint of surprise flashing through her beautiful eyes.
Thomas Felton stopped as well, turned his head to look, and then called out, "Nicole."
The exceedingly tall figure turned her head, and, without any exaggeration, most of the men present were at least half a head shorter than her.
Her wine-red long hair draped asymmetrically, paired with a gorgeous red mermaid dress that made her uniquely fair skin shine even more glaringly. Even though she clearly was no longer young, she still radiated a stunning beauty.
"Director Felton."
The woman approached with a graceful and noble smile.
"Nicole, let me introduce you to a big boss, Jiang. He has an extraordinary passion for the film industry, and there might be opportunities for collaboration in the future."
Thomas Felton said with a grin, obviously quite familiar with her.
Jiang Chen came back to his senses. Even with his resilient mentality, he couldn’t help but feel his emotions fluctuate at that moment.
After all.
This was.
Nicole Kidman!
In Hollywood where beautiful women abound and vie for beauty, if one were to make a list of the most beautiful actresses, this multiple Golden Globe and Oscar-winning actress right in front of him would definitely be on that list!
Even though her prime was past, in her era, her glorious beauty attracted countless men from all over the world!
Even though Jiang Chen was not a fanboy, he had admired the Hollywood goddess’s elegance in his youth.
At that time, separated by a TV screen, and mountains and oceans, how could he have imagined that years later she would appear alive and in the flesh before him!
The wonders of fate are truly unpredictable, but it is this unpredictability that makes life so fascinating.
"Miss Nicole, hello."
The increasingly accustomed Jiang Chen adjusted his emotions but still turned out to be slightly awkward for the first time.
"It’s a pleasure."
It was Nicole Kidman who extended her hand first.
Looking at that slender and pale hand, Jiang Chen slowly lifted his hand and took hold of it.
The touch was cool.
He couldn’t help but feel somewhat dazed.
This feeling was like popping a bubble, letting the illusionary light into reality.
It was like being in a dream.
Not just Jiang Chen, but Pei Yunxi, who was also an actor, felt slightly star-struck.
After all, stars have idols too.
As someone who grew up on Hollywood films, regardless of gender, who could resist Nicole Kidman’s charm?
"Yun Xi, Nicole is greeting you."
So much so that when Nicole Kidman greeted Pei Yunxi, she didn’t initially react until Thomas Felton reminded her to respond hastily.
"Miss Nicole, hello, I grew up watching your movies."
The very image of a fan meeting her idol.
"Please don’t say that, I really don’t want to admit that I’m old."
The globally recognized Hollywood actress joked, without the slightest bit of pretense.
"Nicole, I have something to discuss with you."
Nicole Kidman was called aside by Thomas Felton.
"I thought it was post-production effects, but I didn’t expect her to be so fair in reality," Jiang Chen remarked.
Pei Yunxi took a light breath, calming herself, "She’s already in her fifties."
Jiang Chen was taken aback, then grinned, "Your thoughts aren’t pure, huh? Of course, I know she’s over fifty. My admiration for her is just the normal adoration a movie fan has for an outstanding actor."
Beauty fades, just like flowers fall and leaves wither.
Even the most stunning beauty cannot withstand the ravages of time.
Jiang Chen sighed somewhat.
Pei Yunxi offered a rather poorly feigned smile, "Normal adoration? Who was it that just now couldn’t even walk upon seeing her?"
"Aren’t you the same?"
Jiang Chen retorted, feeling the need to clarify the issue with a stern face, "You must not slander me. Indeed, she’s beautiful, but truly she’s not my childhood goddess."
"Then who is your childhood goddess?"
Pei Yunxi’s eyes were fixed on him.
Jiang Chen was silent.
Seeing that Pei Yunxi was still staring at him, after some silence, Jiang Chen finally let out a breath, and with a tone of reverence, he uttered a name.
"Monica Bellucci."
