Chapter 60 Tourists and Stars(1/2)
I originally wanted to have fun at home and have a happy holiday and relax my nerves that had been tense for a season, but I didn't expect that a class reunion would be disappointed.
Chu Zhongtian simply stopped going anywhere and stayed at home.
After returning from playing football from school, my mother was busy making lunch, my father went to work, and Chu Zhongtian turned on the computer and surfed the Internet.
First, check out the news in international football, and then go to the "We All Love Lindanda" website to read the posts and get water.
What's next?
After doing all this, Chu Zhongtian stared at the computer screen in a daze. He was not a net bug who spent all day long and he didn't play games much. Apart from watching the news and browsing posts on the websites established by fans, he couldn't think of anything else to do.
After staring at the computer screen for a while, a name suddenly popped up in his mind: Emily Stan!
This name has not appeared for half a year. Since returning from Wimbledon, he has never thought about Emily, who is dedicated to playing football and striving for his main position. After finally stabilizing his main position, he faces the important task of relegation in the league. After all this, he will go home as the season ends.
Until now, after I was free, I remembered the name of the girl who had been away from me for a year.
He had read the clippings in Wimbledon's Wimbledon's bar and knew Emily had her own personal website and blog. He didn't remember the URL, but it didn't matter. There was a search engine and everything was fine.
He opened the web page, entered Emily Stan's English name in Google, and started searching.
The first search result is Emily Stan's personal website - "Angel Emily".
Chu Zhongtian clicked in.
In terms of the exquisiteness of the production, "Angel Emily" is obviously much better than "We all love Lin Dan". At first glance, it is made by a professional team. Unlike his personal website, it is spontaneously produced by fans and is slightly rough.
The full English page is not a problem for him, and he can read it smoothly. But he noticed that there is a "Select Language" tag on the upper right side of the page. After putting the mouse on, a drop-down menu will appear, which lists several other languages - English, French and... Chinese!
The five-star red flag representing the "Chinese language" seems a bit abrupt under the British rice-shaped flag and the French tricolor flag. It means that this Chinese is definitely not traditional Chinese in Taiwan, but simplified Chinese... This website can understand it in English and French. After all, the United States and Canada are very popular, and France is a country with a strong artistic atmosphere. It is normal for a movie star to open up the French market. But what is this lonely simplified Chinese? Without Japanese and Korean, traditional Chinese is with it. Could it be that Emily's fans are already spread throughout mainland China? Or Emily's agents and sponsors all want to open up the Chinese market? That's too early... Chu Zhongtian didn't understand, and clicked on the Chinese flag. He wanted to see what the simplified Chinese version of the website is - although some celebrity websites have Chinese versions, the Chinese version is a product of shoddy production at first glance, and they don't care at all.
The Chinese website in front of me is different. It is exactly the same as the English website. The Chinese translation is also very consistent with the habits of mainland Chinese people. It does not use any Taiwanese vocabulary such as "servers" and "software". It can be seen that it is a very pure simplified Chinese version.
In order to further confirm whether it is really the same, he also opened an English website, clicked a random news article and read it, and then compared it continuously, and found that the contents in Chinese and English were exactly the same - that is, the English news was translated into Chinese, and the translation was very correct, unlike machine translation.
Since there is a native language website, why do you still have to read English? Chu Zhongtian decided to browse the Chinese website.
The Chinese version of the message board is very deserted and there are not many messages. It seems that although Emily Stan is famous in the United States, it is still unknown to Chinese movie fans.
I don’t know that Emily usually reads these messages that she can’t understand at all… The website records news about Emily, which is very detailed, and the latest update time is yesterday. From this point, it can be seen that Emily attaches great importance to this website. Some celebrities’ personal websites are more like decorations, and they are neglected to manage after they are established. The news updates are slowly updated, and they are even not updated at all. They are like a weed yard.
But Emily Stan's personal website is different. It manages it very carefully. It doesn't look like a personal website of a newly famous little star, but rather like a world-class movie star website.
In the friendly links of the website, Chu Zhongtian saw Emily's personal blog links. Most of the websites are news. If you want to further understand Emily's personal life, you should obviously read the blog.
He followed the link to Emily's blog, but this time there was no Chinese version for him to read.
Compared with personal websites, blog posts are obviously much lower. The latest blog post was on May 31, 2005, and today is on June 14. Emily has not updated her blog post for almost half a month.
In a blog post on May 31, Emily said she was very happy because she made a guest appearance in two episodes of a TV series, and the shooting went smoothly and everyone took good care of her. Then she posted a few photos she took on her mobile phone in the theater.
Chu Zhongtian carefully looked at the girl in the photo and found that she was a little thinner than the last time she saw her.
The smile is still the same, but it is just to cover up the fatigue between the guy in his eyebrows.
Chu Zhongtian was wondering why he could see what was behind her smile, and he didn't know if what he saw was right.
He looked at the fan messages below this blog post, all of which were "Princess is great!" "I will always support you, Emily!" "I love you, Amy!" ... etc.
He thought for a while, put his hand on the keyboard, and used the identity of a tourist to leave a message below: "Are you really happy? If it is true, just take a rest and don't be too tired."
These words come from the heart, just like greeting an old friend I haven't seen for a long time.
Afterwards, he looked through Emily's other blog posts to see the photos she posted. There were many fans enthusiastically leaving messages beneath each, praising their princess for being so beautiful.
But he always felt that Emily, who had been put on makeup in the photo, was indeed more like a princess, but she couldn't find that kind of feeling intimacy no matter what.
The distance between the two people was a wide Pacific Ocean. The sixteen-hour time difference seemed to be the reason for this sense of distance... "Every day, we're having a meal!" my mother shouted in the living room.
Chu Zhongtian responded, stood up and walked out.
He didn't turn off the computer. On the screen, Emily smiled sweetly in a gorgeous outfit, looking at the direction where Chu Zhongtian left.
※※※"OK!"
The sound of the shutter was over, and the smiling British princess Emily Stan put away the smile on her face, covered her mouth and yawned.
"Your performance is amazing, Emily!" The photographer gave Emily a thumbs up. "This set of photos works very well!"
Emily, who was still yawning just now, smiled again on her face: "Thank you, Mr. Jose."
Her agent's mother handed over a bottle of Red Bull to replenish her daughter's energy.
"Is there still a job, mom?" Seeing this bottle of Red Bull, Emily did not take over, but looked up and asked.
"No more, my daughter."
Emily shrugged: "Then I won't drink it anymore, I hate Red Bull." When she wanted to sleep, her mother always handed over such a bottle of Red Bull, but what she wanted was not Red Bull, but pillows and beds.
She turned her back and ignored her mother. Instead, she picked up the small laptop next to her and started pounding on it.
Ms. Miranda, who is a mother, doesn't care about her daughter's kindness to treat her. She puts the drink aside: "Are you writing your blog post?"
My daughter always carries such a thin and small laptop that does not take up space. She picks up her to write things, write logs, and writes blogs when she has time. Then she posts these things to her blog when she has the Internet. She asks someone to take care of her personal website for her, but she still insists on making a thankless Chinese version... She also has to write a blog by herself, but she is unwilling to leave it to her mother to manage it. She is so tired every day, and she still has to yawn while writing blogs. I really don't understand why. I have advised her not to waste her energy on irrelevant things before, but just like she once advised her daughter not to be obsessed with football, she hits a nail and once again sees how stubborn her daughter is. So now, she no longer advises anything, just do this and don't delay her work.
Emily nodded: "Yes."
"Stop writing, go change your clothes, we're going home."
Emily finished typing and replied, "Okay, mom, wait until I finish writing this. I don't want to turn on the computer anymore when I get home, I just want to sleep."
Seeing that his daughter continued to type without raising her head, Miranda shrugged helplessly. "Okay, but don't delay too long. This place won't give you time to finish writing a copy of "Harry Potter."
Emily didn't answer and continued to call. Beside her, the staff were gradually evacuating the background, reflectors, lighting and cameras, and some other props.
Emily turned a deaf ear to these interferences. In fact, she had already practiced completely. Once she entered the state, no one could interfere with her.
When she finished typing the last word, the light above the studio also went out.
After she saved it, she closed the notebook, stood up and walked towards the locker room.
She did not upload her blog because there was no Internet here, and I don’t know how long it would take to meet the supporters who followed her. It is now 11:30, and after returning home, she will go to bed and rest, and tomorrow there will be a busy new job waiting for her.
※※※Three days later, Emily had the opportunity to post the blog post she wrote in the studio to her blog. Then she browsed the messages from her supporters, but did not read them in detail, but just quickly scanned them like a quick look. She did not see Chu Zhongtian's message because she had been sent several pages by other enthusiastic fans.
After updating the article, she put a few more photos she took at that time. She refreshed the web page and found that the first message had appeared below.
A message from a tourist: "It looks very beautiful. Actually, I know that it is useless to let you pay attention to rest. The nature of your work is destined to be unable to rest. But no matter what, the body is the most important thing. I wish you good health and a happy and good mood every day."
It looks ordinary, like a message from any normal fan.
But Emily thought about it and said that since she was leaving a message to herself so soon, it means that she is waiting here for fans who are updating her blog post. Thank you or her for your concern.
She replied as a blogger under this message: "Thank you for your concern. I will pay attention to rest and will not disappoint you!" She used exclamation marks to look full of fighting spirit.
※※ Chu Zhongtian has developed a habit these days. When he comes back from playing football, he stays at home to surf the Internet, browse Emily's blog and personal website, and searches for other news about Emily on the Internet. He is looking for both Chinese and foreign countries.
Especially Emily's personal blog, she has accumulated a lot of articles over the past year, which is enough for him to read for a long time. Judging from the time of posting, it was very frequent at the beginning, and the closer it was to the current update, the longer the interval. This is also related to the growth of her fame. When she became more and more famous and her work became busier, she naturally didn't care about updating the blog post. He also discovered a rule that Emily wrote the blog post first and then looked for time to update it, because there were several articles that were obviously not a day, and this situation happened many times.
Today when he was reading the blog post on Emily's blog, he found that Emily had just updated a new blog post.
It was said that she was still working in the studio late at night and was very tired and wanted to sleep. However, despite this, after hearing the photographer praise the good results of the shooting, she still felt very happy. The hard work was finally worth it. After seeing the photos, she became even more determined.
Chu Zhongtian went to see the photos she posted. He found that like the last time, the princess under the lens light shone brightly, but the fatigue in the corners of her eyes could not be concealed.
To be honest, although I already felt that there was no chance to meet again between the two, Chu Zhongtian felt a little distressed when he saw such a tired Emily again. So he put his hand on the keyboard and left his words: "It's beautiful to get you up. Actually, I know that it's useless to let you pay attention to rest. The nature of your work is destined to be unable to rest. But no matter what, the body is the most important thing. I wish you good health and a happy and good mood every day."
After writing, he refreshed it, and there was an extra blogger reply below: "Thank you for your concern. I will pay attention to rest and will definitely not disappoint you!"
Chu Zhongtian looked at this extra "blogger reply" and suddenly realized that the person who wrote those words was Emily Stan!
Some celebrities’ blogs are actually written by their assistants or even website editors, but from the blog posts he has read, he knows that Emily’s blog must have been written and updated by herself.
This may be the closest time between me and Emily in the past year... Chu Zhongtian hesitated for a moment and then replied: "It's great to see you so energetic. Come on! I'm your loyal fan! You performed very well in "Christmas Boy".
※※※Emily didn't expect that after she replied, the other party immediately replied to her.
This is the first time she has a direct chat with a movie fan on a blog. Anyway, she has nothing to do and she has nothing to do, so let's talk.
"Thank you for your support. "Christmas Boy" is just my first work of electrocution, and it is not as good as you think..."
"No, maybe you are better now in terms of acting skills, but your performance in "Christmas Boy" is more realistic and more intimate. I like that kind of feeling, just like... a classmate of mine, girl next door, I like you like that."
Emily didn't expect that she would meet a movie fan who knew so much about her. She seemed to be a loyal movie fan.
She didn't know who was sitting opposite the computer, but she just had the urge to talk to him or her.
"You're right, but when you have to make two movies, three TV series, countless advertisements and mtv within a year, you will also feel that real emotions are not enough, and you must make up for it with acting skills."
"To be honest, that's because you're too tired."
"Yes, I'm really tired... Sometimes I want to stop doing it, but how is that possible? Haha, I'm just annoyed. Hello, you're not a reporter, right?" At this point, Emily remembered to ask this question.
Seeing her ask, Chu Zhongtian laughed. He suddenly fell in love with the feeling of hiding his true identity and chatting freely with Emily. He did not regard Emily as a big star, and Emily did not regard him as an ordinary supporter. Just like in school, they could chat casually without having to say anything else before thinking about what the other person is and what his identity is.
"No, I'm not a reporter. In fact, I hate reporters very much. They always stare at you and don't want to leave a second of private time for you. And they are used to distorting your speeches and actions. I think there is no more annoying thing in the world than reporters!" As a public figure, Chu Zhongtian also deeply felt the disgust of the media.
"Haha, that's right! The reporter should not exist the most in this world!" Emily felt deeply.
The two then started talking about the topic of reporters and continued to talk about Emily's personal hobbies.
"My favorite is football! Do you find it strange?"
Chu Zhongtian thought I didn’t think it was strange. If you said that the one you like the most was not football, I would think it was strange... "No, I don’t think it is. Football is the world’s number one sport, and it’s normal for you to like it. Besides, aren’t there many stars in the entertainment industry who are fans?"
To be continued...
