PDLP Chapter 14 Drew
Chapter 14 Drew
A bar near Santa Monica Beach, which is like the heart of Los Angeles' nightlife.
Ernst drove all the way from Beverly Hills at breakneck speed; anyone who didn't know better would think he was participating in a high-society late-night car race.
Craig has vanished into thin air, disappearing to spread civilization somewhere, leaving Ernst to drive himself. This makes Ernst realize he needs a driver and bodyguard.
For your own safety, it's best to avoid drinking and driving altogether.
Upon entering the bar's main hall, one is greeted by flashing lights and deafening music. Countless young bodies are lost on the stage, dancing wildly and releasing their pent-up hormones.
Ernst looked around and finally fixed his gaze on a corner of the bar.
"Cheers".
Upon arriving at the booth, Ernst didn't even have time to greet anyone before a glass of wine was shoved into his hand.
The girl next to him clinked glasses with him and drank it all in one gulp, while Ernst pursed his lips helplessly but also drank without hesitation.
"Why did you suddenly decide to ask me to drink today?"
The girl was clearly a little drunk, and spoke much slower than usual, "What, now that you're successful, you've forgotten your old friends?"
Ernst knew the other person was joking, and looked at him questioningly, waiting for an answer.
"I'm going to quit drinking."
Ernst chuckled. "Drew, today isn't April Fool's Day."
Drew Barrymore, a Hollywood actress with a multitude of advantages.
She entered the industry at 11 months old, became famous at 7, was nominated for a Golden Globe, and Steven Spielberg is her godfather. She is the little girl who starred in "E.T."
Back when Ernst first met Drew, his idea was simple and straightforward: he wanted to have an in-depth conversation with this Hollywood darling.
However, no one expected that although they slept together and each got what they wanted, they would eventually become best friends who could talk about anything.
"I can quit even leafy greens, you don't believe I can quit drinking?"
At this moment, Drew was lying on Ernst's chest, his breasts almost deformed from being squeezed, but Ernst remained calm and unmoved.
"The first member of the Barrymore family to be officially recognized?"
This is why Ernst didn't believe it; the family was so famous in Hollywood that there was even talk of the Barrymore curse.
There was a remarkable family in 19th and 20th century Hollywood.
They dominated the theater world and left their mark on film history, yet they squandered their talent and lives on alcohol. This is the famous Barrymore family.
By all accounts, Drew Barrymore is a true fourth-generation star. The family's acting history can be traced back to the era of her parents, who were CEOs a hundred years ago.
Her great-grandfather Maurice Barrymore and great-grandmother Georgiana Drew were Broadway stage giants in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, and their son is Lionel Barrymore, who has starred in many films and won the fourth Academy Award for Best Actor for his outstanding performance in the film "Free Spirit".
The second daughter, Ethel Barrymore, was hailed by American theater critics as a "stage diva" and "first lady of the theater." She performed almost all the plays by Ibsen, Shakespeare, and Maugham in the early 20th century, and a theater on Broadway was even named after her.
It's not just a stage play; it's also been nominated for an Oscar four times in film history.
And their younger brother, Drew's grandfather John Barrymore, is considered one of the greatest actors of that era.
He starred in Richard III in 1920, Sherlock Holmes in 1922, Hamlet in 1923, Romeo and Juliet in 1936, and many other works.
Throughout the early 20th century, John Barrymore dominated the classic romantic thriller genre.
Embarrassingly, all three siblings earned stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, only to succumb to alcohol in the end.
All three siblings have stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, but all of them died from alcohol poisoning.
By the time of Drew's father's generation, although they did not achieve the same level of success as his grandfather's generation, the Barrymore family still exerted influence in Hollywood.
However, there were no exceptions. As if it were an innate curse, every member of Barrymore became involved with alcohol at a young age.
Drew has surpassed his teacher.
Ernst remembered that the other person had said that her mother, who had divorced her at birth, had taken her to the famous 54 Club in Hollywood.
Ernst felt that these were things that flowed in the genes of this family. Drew was already surprised enough that he could give up leafy greens, but now he was going to give up alcohol too?
Drew hurdled and landed on Ernst's lap. Before he could react, Drew was given a mouthful of wine, followed by a passionate French kiss.
Drew finally released his mouth when he was panting heavily, and nestled against Ernst's chest to catch his breath.
Ernst felt strange; he felt no desire whatsoever. After all, who wouldn't feel something odd about kissing their brother?
"You're not thinking about it, are you?" Ernst looked embarrassed, afraid that the other party would say something like, "Do my brother a favor and have a baby with him."
At that moment, Drew stood up and rolled her eyes at Ernst. "Do you think I'm short of men? Although you're very strong and the things you do are exciting and satisfying, this is Hollywood."
Yes, this is Hollywood. Ernst repeatedly assured himself that he wasn't a pervert; there were just too many oddballs in Hollywood.
"Tell me, what exactly did you call me here for?"
"I'm planning to start a film company, you'll help me, right?"
Drew's eyes instantly brightened from a dazed look, his expectant gaze like a puppy eagerly awaiting its owner's treats, a look that held both pleading and reassurance.
"Want to continue the transformation?"
Drew Barrymore is definitely a Hollywood actress that Ernst admires.
Her father was an alcoholic who ruined his career and needed her to support him.
The father was an alcoholic who ruined his own business and now had to rely on his daughter to support him. The mother was an even bigger swindler, treating Drew like a money-making machine, taking her into the world of adultery, and sending her to rehab three times.
During the day, he made her act to earn money, and at night he sent her to a drug rehabilitation center. Each meeting lasted only a few minutes, and it was only to deliver scripts. He would then take the money she earned to live a life of debauchery and even have an affair with her boyfriend.
For this reason, when she quit using marijuana for the third time, Drew decided to sever ties with the entire Barrymore family, including her parents.
However, her mother exposed her addiction to marijuana to the media, using this information to squeeze out the last bit of value from her.
Such negative news landed Drew on Hollywood's blacklist, and no one wanted to cast her in any more films.
But Drew wasn't one to give up easily; he worked at a coffee shop while completing his studies.
Finally, she got her chance, and she didn't hesitate to play even a glamorous woman.
For her, it doesn't matter whether the cards she has are good or bad; being able to get back to the poker table is the most important thing.
Although she transformed into a sexy star, there's no denying that Drew succeeded and returned to the public eye.
Now that the other party wants to start a company, they want to make another career change, not only from actress to behind-the-scenes work, but also from being a porn star back to a legitimate role.
"That's right, I'm very confident in my acting skills, but in the past, I didn't get many good roles, so I had to rely on myself."
Ernst looked at the other person with amusement. "What do I get in return?"
This time, Drew didn't answer, but showed it through his actions.
