Beverly Hills is located in the northern part of Los Angeles city, at the foot of Beverly Hills, similar to a district. In the early twentieth century, because it was close to several major Hollywood studios, and convenient for commuting, many movie stars settled down here, such as Elizabeth Taylor, Catherine Hepburn, and others.

As more celebrities made it their home, Beverly Hills became known globally as an affluent neighborhood and "the world’s most prestigious residential area". Here you can find the world’s most upscale shopping street, almost all luxury brand stores, and various styles of villas and mansions.

Having a property here is considered a symbol of wealth and fame.

"This place is indeed nice, with luxury houses, fancy cars, and hot girls everywhere, but comparatively speaking, I prefer Santa Monica. It has mountains, beaches, a pier, a long coastal highway, and even the largest ocean park. Living there is a bit more comfortable."

Atop Mezzaluna Cafe’s rooftop, Link leaned against the fabric sofa and looked across the busy Wilshire Boulevard as he spoke.

"NoNoNo!"

Across on the sofa, Leonardo shook the cigar in his hand and said, "Beverly is better. Just imagine, when you go clubbing and you tell a girl you live in Santa Monica, she might hesitate, but if you tell a girl you live in Beverly, she’ll let out a ’wow’ and won’t hesitate to go home with you for the night, right?"

Link and Tobey Maguire laughed heartily.

"Leonardo, do you also need to use that trick to pick up girls?"

"Of course not, but it’s the truth I’m speaking, isn’t it?"

Leonardo lit his cigar, reclined on the sofa with his legs crossed, and laughed.

"Indeed!"

Link leaned against the sofa, looked up at the clear blue sky, and said, "For single men of age, living in Beverly Hills is indeed nice, but for those of us with partners like Tobey and me, that additional function is optional."

"I agree with Link’s words. In recent years, some foreign tycoons have moved into Beverly Hills, and the environment has deteriorated compared to before. Living in Santa Monica is quieter."

Tobey Maguire, who shot to fame with the "Spider-Man" series, said with a laugh while holding a cup of coffee.

Leonardo glanced at him, "Hey, buddy, don’t forget you’re my man, you should be on my side."

Tobey Maguire raised his coffee cup to signal Link with a smile, "Sorry Leonardo, I’m a fan of Link’s, no, actually a fan of his music. I love many of his songs, especially the recent one, ’Legends never die, when the world is calling you...’."

"Stop! Don’t sing, I’ve heard it too many times lately, I’m starting to dislike that song."

Leonardo gestured with his hand and said.

Link smiled nonchalantly and glanced at his wristwatch before asking, "Leonardo, why are you so leisurely, is ’Inception’ finished?"

"Not yet! Just returned from Morocco, will be going to Japan to shoot in a while."

As he spoke, Leonardo took a puff from his cigar and looked at him, "This movie is incredibly cool, and Director Nolan is quite impressive. Link, you turning down my invitation originally is definitely a huge regret." ŗαΝôꞖЕŜ

"Maybe it is!"

Link shrugged his shoulders; last year Leonardo invited him to play the fourth male character ’Eames,’ the imposter, a macho character with exceptional skills.

Initially, he thought taking on the role would be nice, helping to boost his popularity with a movie. But when he learned that the role required over two months of shooting, following the crew to Morocco, Britain, France, Japan, Canada, and other places for on-location filming, without the possibility of taking leave, he discussed it with Mandy and Anna and realized that his schedule for the next 10 years was too packed to accommodate two months for a movie, so he politely refused the role.

"Link, when will your new album be released? I’m really looking forward to it," Tobey Maguire said with a smile.

"March 22, remember to buy a few extra tickets to support the show,"

Link joked.

"Don’t even think about it. I saw in the newspaper about you, Justin, and 50 Cent battling it out for the charts. It’s a competition to keep things fair, so at most we’ll only buy one ticket,"

Leonardo said, holding up his index finger.

"Even one is good,"

As he was speaking, Link’s cell phone beeped twice. He took the call, bent down to look across the street, and saw Taylor waving goodbye to Blake Lively, Jamie King, and a few others. Link then also said his farewells to Leonardo and Tobey Maguire.

On Wilshire Boulevard, Taylor stood on the corner waiting for him, carrying a paper bag with the ’Victoria’s Secret’ logo on it. She was wearing a loose-fitting tee, high-waisted jeans that accentuated her slender waist and long legs, golden hair tied back in a ponytail—a simple, refreshing look not much different from the other young girls passing by on the street.

Link walked over and wrapped his arm around her waist, looking at the paper bag, "You shopped for over two hours and only bought one piece of lingerie?"

"Is there a problem with that? We came to shop, not necessarily to buy,"

Taylor entwined her arm with his as they walked towards the parking area.

"Got it. Shopping for you girls is like playing soccer for guys, it doesn’t really matter whether you score or not, it’s all about the game,"

"What were you talking with Leonardo about just now?"

"He suggested I buy a villa in Beverly Hills, but I turned it down."

"Did he teach you how to pick up girls?"

Taylor tilted her head and asked him.

"Of course not. Why would you think that? And what makes you think Leonardo is good at picking up girls?"

"With all the girlfriends he’s had, doesn’t that make him good?"

"That’s not it at all. A true master of picking up girls only goes after the coolest girl in the world. Those models that Leonardo got, anyone with money and fame could get them—it doesn’t show any skill."

"Really? And who is the coolest girl in the world?"

Taylor blinked her blue eyes.

"Of course, it’s you!"

"So you’re a master at picking up girls?"

"..... Dear, let’s change the subject."

After shopping in Beverly Hills, Link and Taylor changed into more formal attire and drove to the Nokia Center cinema to attend the premiere of ’Valentine’s Day’.

This movie was completed around October of last year and went through several months of post-production. It was scheduled to premiere four days before Valentine’s Day, on February 12, in North America.

Because the cast of this film was quite strong, with actresses like Julia Roberts, Emma Roberts, Anne Hathaway, Jessica Alba, Jessica Biel, Jennifer Garner, and actors including Link, ’The Hangover’ lead Bradley Cooper, ’The Butterfly Effect’ lead Ashton Kutcher, and African-American star Jamie Foxx, almost all of them A-list actors.

Therefore, the film’s distributors, New Line Cinema and Warner Brothers, organized a grand premiere event at the Nokia Center before the release of the movie. They not only invited all the actors involved in the film but also invited other movie stars to help boost the premiere.

As lead actors, Link and Taylor could only squeeze a little time out of their busy schedules to attend the event.
