"Everyone, here today, let us raise our glasses together: to celebrate the completion of our film and to celebrate our film's heroine, Miss Charlize Theron, spending this birthday with our crew in Germany. She dedicated her most precious year to our film. For our movie, she made a memorable contribution. Let us all raise a glass to her!" When August 7th came, Theron stood on the edge of the temporary stage in the studio in Berlin, watching a group of celebrating crowd, with a little smile on the corner of his mouth.

This is the most luxurious birthday she has ever spent: In this crew, more than one hundred people are celebrating her birthday, and Levi threw all the things that the crew had not used up at this birthday party: just as Levi said, the filming of the film has ended, and for everyone who will return to Los Angeles tomorrow, these things are not of much use.

This was given to her by Levi: After that day, she and Levi were a little embarrassed, and she didn't know how to deal with it, but Levi arranged the party very well and gave it to herself.

Although this party is not specially held for herself, it is more of a party he had for the finale of the movie. Although this party is still a bit incomplete, her mother is not around, and it is not even in Los Angeles but held in Germany. However, Levi did his best.

Theron was very satisfied with this party. However, thinking of what happened that day, she was still a little bit lost.

The process of filming may seem tense, but in fact, there are times when relaxation and celebration are needed. Generally speaking, the production crew will be responsible for filming such overseas scenes, train tickets, accommodation, and food. Sometimes, the production crew will hold a party to celebrate the birthday of any of the actors. The film is finished, and the rest is post-production. This aspect took about a month, and it is almost done. Now is the time for the director and actors to say goodbye.

Unexpectedly, they will be separated so soon. Initially, they could indeed go further, but now, how could Theron have the nerve to do what she did last time? She had mustered up a lot of courage last time; how could she do it the second time?

While thinking about this, Theron suddenly discovered that Levi had disappeared again. She raised her head and looked around, only to find that Levi was chatting with Kevin Spacey on the side.

***

The filming of this film is over. As the director, Levi also wants to thank the actors who participated in the movie: everyone will have the opportunity to cooperate in the future, and such thanks are necessary.

"Kevin, I still have to thank you. You came to Germany in such a hurry to shoot a movie with us and ensured a smooth filming process. I have to thank you no matter what." Of course, the one who received the most

thanks, is, Kevin Spacey.

The movie "L.A. Confidential" has been released. Although this movie's box office is relatively mediocre, the reputation and reviews of the movie are far beyond people's imagination. Once this movie was released, it was considered by the media to be far superior to ordinary police and gangster movies. Although it was about the police, many people believed that this movie was a political movie. Even when the movie was released, many people said that this movie would definitely be the best political movie of the year.

Once the filming of this film was finished, many people argued that this film might be an Oscar-winning film, and now the film's promotional activities are in full swing. It is very rare for Spacey, the leading male role in the film, to leave Los Angeles at this time to come to Germany to film.

"Of course, why would I stay there? L.A. Confidential was a good movie, but my part is long gone. Now this is the movie that's the most important thing for me. And I have a hunch that this movie will be better than that one."

Spacey spoke so loudly that everyone present turned their heads. Everyone present was excited and unbelievable: "L.A. Confidential" is currently in theaters, and the word-of-mouth reviews are very good. As soon as the movie was released, many people said it was the best movie of the year, but now, Spacey actually said that "The Lives of Others" would be better than "L.A. Confidential," and they couldn't believe it.

Still, there's little need for Spacey to lie: he starred in both films. As the co-star of the two films, he does not need to belittle one and praise the other. It is also his work, and he can say which one is better can be said to be quite objective.

"It should be better. Otherwise, Kevin, wouldn't the movies you shoot be inferior to each other?" Levi agreed casually.

"However, people say that "L.A. Confidential" is already the best movie of the year. If our movie is better than that, doesn't it mean that our movie is the best movie of the year?" said one of the crew excitedly.

For those who have not become famous, the word-of-mouth of a movie is an opportunity to become famous and make money. Theron is still a newcomer now, and she has hardly made any movies, so she is quite unfamiliar with these interests and fame.

"Who decides the best of the year? No one can decide. I am satisfied with the film I shot, which is better than anything else." At this time, Levi did not speak against them again. Although others think that this movie is quite perfect, Levi himself is quite clear that this movie is destined not to be the best of the year-that big ship will be released at the end of the year, and by then, No matter how profound the theme is, a movie cannot compete for the best of the year.

Levi is also quite depressed about this: Everyone wants to be recognized by others, and Levi is no exception. Obviously, his own movie was shot very well, but he basically had no chance of winning. Of course, Levi would be a little depressed about such a thing.

"You don't have any confidence that your movie will be the best of the year, do you?" Theron saw something wrong in Levi's expression.

"I don't have confidence in people who comment on movies." Levi said stiffly, "Oh, yes, here is one more thing I want to give you, your birthday present."

"You still remember to ask to give a gift." Theron didn't forgive anyone, and after saying this, she took what Levi handed over, "What is this? A book? Don't tell me you really wrote "The Good Man" symphony."

"Of course not, that's a movie, and it's not real. What I gave you is something else. Open it yourself."

Theron unwrapped the package suspiciously, and then, her face suddenly became red in embarrassment, "A swimsuit magazine? This is a gift from you? You really know what women want."

"Let's see." Levi shook his finger, "Look carefully."

What's there to read in a swimsuit magazine... Theron was a little embarrassed, but after glancing at the date, she suddenly found something, "1995? This is the issue with my photo. Where did you find it? What are you doing for me with this? Let me remember the past?"

Levi shook his head with a smile, "Open it and have a look."

What's so interesting about this? Although she didn't understand, Theron still habitually obeyed Levi's order and opened the magazine.

For a moment, she suddenly froze. She found that this magazine was completely different from what she remembered: in her memory, she had completed this group of photos in a swimsuit, but now, the self in the photo had already put on a layer of clothes.

'I can live without a good godfather to edit my pictures for me...'

'Who would take that kind of picture if given the choice? At this moment, all the words she had said appeared in front of her eyes, and Theron suddenly felt that her eye sockets were a little moist: Compared with cakes, balloons, and parties, someone remembered her words, which moved her the most.

"I can't completely take back this issue of the magazine. However, I can contact the special effects company and ask them to make a cover version of the magazine. Charlize, I know of an actor who has acted in a pornographic film and once made a resolution: she would put on all the clothes she took off. Let's not talk about her for the time being. I always admire her ambition to walk alone. If you do something you don't like, it's not that you can't repent, and you can move forward in another direction. As long as you can do it, that's fine." Theron didn't say anything,

threw the magazine on the table, and hugged him suddenly. Levi patted her back lightly, which also made Theron feel a little out of control, and calmed down again, "Thank you."

"It's nothing."

"For me, it's a lot." Theron shook her head. She bit her lower lip and thought for a moment before deciding on something.

"Nick, there is one more thing I want to tell you." Theron's lips moved close to Levi's ear. The smell of perfume on her body made Levi quite distracted. Moreover, this was the first time she called Levi Nick. "The movie is finished. If you go to my room tonight, it won't be a violation of your principles?" Just now, she was still distressed that she didn't have her mother at the party. But now, she is thankful that her mother didn't come.

What does it matter if you get rejected again? She deserves it.

"I won't refuse such an invitation twice." Levi turned his head and, at the same time, directly hooked Theron's waist and took her into his arms, "Don't wait for the night. How about now?" Theron laughed out loud. She hadn't been this happy since the filming started until now.
