Bab 207: Chapter 207: Cristiana Reali
"Ah, Mr. Arthur Smith. I'm Cristiana Reali. Good evening, it's an honor!"
Facing Arthur's invitation, Christiana smiled and placed her hand in his.
Holding the beautiful woman in the center of the room, Arthur said, "Christiana Reali, right? Just call me Arthur. You look lovely tonight. Are you an actress?"
"Thank you. Yes, I joined a drama academy two years ago and have acted in two or three films. I'm a newcomer in the entertainment industry," Christiana replied with a smile. "Recently, I saw reports about you in the newspapers. I never expected to meet you in person."
Arthur smiled, "It's God's arrangement..."
Christiana Reali, 27, was born in Brazil and immigrated to France with her family as a child. Before becoming an actress, Christiana studied law and worked as a lawyer. Two years ago, she joined the François Ust Theatre Company, becoming an actress while continuing her studies. She had played supporting roles in three low-budget films and was mainly involved in theater performances.
"François Ust Theatre Company is just a small theater in Paris. You wouldn't have heard of it, Arthur. Recently, we've been performing The Lady of the Camellias," Christiana explained, knowing Arthur was someone important and hiding nothing.
"I see. But I think you should develop your career in the film industry. You have the wildness of a Brazilian woman and the elegance of a French woman. You'll definitely achieve something!"
Christiana's eyes lit up at these words. "But I started too late. I have no opportunities or experience. The competition in the entertainment industry is overwhelming."
Arthur hugged Christiana, letting her lean on his shoulder. "Don't worry. Opportunities are for those who are prepared. Christiana, are you ready?"
Christiana smiled, "I've been ready for a long time. How about I take you to a nearby bar for a drink? The cocktails there are quite good!"
"With pleasure."
That night, in a bar on George V Avenue in Paris, Arthur held Christiana Reali, kissing her on the sofa.
After the kiss ended, Christiana, sitting in Arthur's lap, reminded, "Arthur, I have a performance tomorrow afternoon!"
"At that small theater you mentioned?" Arthur said, starting to caress Christiana's thigh.
"Yes, the theater is small, but it's a place to gain performance experience," she blushed, leaning into Arthur, her warm breath hitting his neck.
"Leave it?" Arthur whispered in her ear, "Gaumont has a story, Three Colors: Blue, White, Red that's going to be filmed. It wouldn't be hard for me to recommend you for a supporting role. Gain experience first, then head straight to Hollywood. You're so beautiful, with me here, it should be no problem!"
"Hollywood, can I really?" Christiana kissed Arthur on the cheek. "I know about Three Colors: Blue, White, Red. The script is excellent!"
Arthur nodded, "Don't worry, you certainly can. First, gain experience and fame. Then, you'll naturally have no shortage of scripts. These days, accompany me to Cannes. We can treat it as a vacation, enjoy the sea breeze, and stroll along the beach. How about it?"
Christiana Reali nodded and agreed, then kissed Arthur passionately again.
Soon after, Arthur took Christiana Reali back to the Raphael Hotel.
On the bed in the bedroom, Arthur lay on top of Christiana, kissing her chest before looking up. "Your body is as captivating as your face!"
Christiana's hands roamed over Arthur's body, her breathing causing her chest to rise and fall. She smiled seductively, "Arthur, I'm originally from Brazil. Do you like Samba girls?"
"I do," Arthur touched her softly. "The Spanish-speaking market has always been crucial for Hollywood. For Galaxy's international business; my dear, you should stay by my side more to help improve my Spanish."
Since countries like Spain and Mexico primarily speak Spanish, and Latin America is mostly Spanish-speaking, Galaxy would certainly produce works targeting this market in the future.
Christiana Reali wrapped her arms around Arthur's neck, laughing, "Arthur, I speak Portuguese in Brazil. I'm not very fluent in Spanish. You're putting a heavy responsibility on me!"
"Is that so? Then I'll learn Portuguese..."
The next morning, Christiana Reali got up, washed, and came to the bedside, kissing Arthur on the face. "I need to go back to the theater. Will you come to see my performance this afternoon?"
"Yes," Arthur pulled Christiana into his arms and gave her a passionate good morning kiss.
"Go. After your performance, we'll have dinner together. Remember to inform the theater you'll be going to Cannes," Arthur reminded her.
Christiana kissed Arthur's chest a few times, "I know, I'll wait for you!"
At noon, Arthur received news that the The Bodyguard crew would be heading to Cannes and would stay there for two days to promote the film.
"By the way, is there also a promotional event for A Few Good Men?" Arthur asked Anna Walker.
Assistant Anna Walker nodded, "Director Rob Reiner and the lead actress Sophie Marceau will attend the film's screening. As for the lead actor Tom Cruise, he won't be coming this early. His film Far and Away, which he shot last year, is the closing film for the Cannes Film Festival. He will probably come to Cannes the day before the closing ceremony."
Arthur waved his hand, "Tom Cruise's contract didn't require him to come to Cannes to promote A Few Good Men."
A Few Good Men wasn't a competing film at the Cannes Film Festival. Tom Cruise, as a Hollywood superstar, was busy.
"Arrange it. We'll go to Cannes tomorrow," Arthur, having nothing else to do, planned to return home to work on Speed.
After instructing Anna Walker, Arthur specially prepared a Boucheron diamond necklace as a gift for Christiana Reali.
That evening, at François Ust Theatre in Paris, Christiana Reali hurried out after performing The Lady of the Camellias. The theater owner, François Ust, who had always been fond of Christiana Reali, chased after her with a displeased expression.
Christiana Reali spotted Arthur Smith standing by a BMW Z1 convertible at the theater entrance, feeling elated.
"Christiana, what exactly are you taking leave for?" François Ust saw the young man outside and guessed the reason.
Christiana Reali turned her head, "I'm leaving Paris for a few days, Mr. Ust!"
"Uh, I plan to arrange a few more performances soon. If you leave, someone else might take your place..."
