"You're done cleaning up, you look pretty young in casual clothes, don't always wear formal clothes, otherwise you'll look old and dirty, it's almost time, let's go." ”

"Can you not go? I'm so sleepy now, I really don't want to drink, I want to sleep now, or you can go by yourself, I'll find a hotel to sleep in and then go back to you." ”

"Don't, I've made an appointment to see you at the door of Lionheart tonight, what's the matter if you don't go, don't talk nonsense, it's too late, hurry up and get in the car." ”

Mickey stood beside the car, kept waving, and urged Lu Ze to come over quickly, Lu Ze thought about it, this was originally the first gathering of the company's internal members, it was really not good to miss the appointment, it was easy to leave a bad impression on the other two directors, glanced at Mickey, who was excited as long as he had wine, put his hands in his coat pockets, and slowly walked down the steps with a helpless face.

"That's right, there's no ball game tonight, Lionheart has a rock party, let's have a good drink, and then go back to sleep well when we drink too much, sleep for more than ten hours, and no one cares about you for more than 20 hours, by the way, after you go back, the rich woman didn't quarrel with you?"

Of course, Lu Ze knew who the rich woman in his mouth was, he leaned against the car door a little tiredly, his eyes kept squinting at the rearview mirror, and as the scenery continued to recede, the dim street lights turned on, dividing the boundary between day and night.

Serious people living in the suburbs shouted for their children to go home, and unserious people walked out of the alley, Lu Ze pinched the bridge of his nose, lay down a comfortable position a little lazily, and let out a long sigh.

"I guess it's cold. ”

"What? Break up so soon?It seems that she is not so loyal to your feelings, forget it, the old does not go to the new one, you don't need to pay too much attention to it, you will find a beautiful hot girl later, as far as your current reputation in Liverpool is concerned, a lot of sexy girls are willing to get into your bed for free and play with dew, in order to achieve the purpose of collecting celebrity liquids. ”

Mickey's words are true, Lu Ze is in Liverpool, so that the whole United Kingdom, with the word-of-mouth outbreak of "Effect", now Lu Ze is no longer a nobody, although his fame is still not as big as that of British local stars, but those Britons who do not have face blindness can still recognize the culprit who made them depressed for several days.

"I think everyone is better suited than you to say comforting words to me, only you are not suitable, besides, don't do anything about it, take away your sullen heart, I just want to see those two people, and then go back to sleep. ”

"Okay, well, listen to you, I originally wanted to introduce you to beautiful girls, but I don't see that you are not interested, so forget it, but I always think that the body of Liverpool girls is much hotter than that of girls in other cities in the UK, especially the upper body, tsk, and the skin is smoother than that of girls in other cities, as delicate as butter, which may be the benefit of the humid climate of coastal cities." ”

When it came to women, Mickey came to his senses, and kept talking, until he found that Lu Ze had never answered his words, but yawned, and then closed his mouth stupidly, but his eyes kept skimming to Lu Ze, until he found that Lu Ze didn't seem to be interested in this topic at all.

"Nonsense......"

"Hahahaha! You still listened to it, didn't you? You also said that I was sullen, I was obviously angry, okay? It's you who ......."

"Shut up, you. ”

……

In less than an hour, the two arrived at the door of Lionheart's Bar, but because the parking space in front of the bar was full, they could only drive to a remote corner a little farther away.

The location of Lionheart Bar is not far from the black quarter, so it is inevitable that it will be a little uneven, and the two of them walk through the somewhat dark streets, and the black women standing on the street are staying in gangs of hooligans on the streets, and the surrounding walls are covered with graffiti, which looks no different from those gang communities in the United States.

Under the watchful eyes of the gang, the two walked away quickly, and clenched their wallets and mobile phones tightly, until they reached the main intersection, and then breathed a sigh of relief.

"That's why I hate coming here, it's really messy, refugees, gangsters, prostitutes, addicts, it's not long after dark, otherwise it's really dangerous, physical harm won't happen, but the money can't be saved, damn the refugee admission policy, don't talk about it, I'll give them a call and ask them where they are. ”

Looking back at the dark alley, crossing the street at the green light, the two greeted the regulars of the Lionheart Bar, and Mickey's call was answered.

"Kishal, where have you been? I'm at the door of the Lionheart Bar right now, yes, with Lu Ze, are you crossing the street? Okay, I see you, I waved, see?"

Lu Ze leaned on the railing on the side of the road, looked in the direction of Mickey's waving hand, and instantly noticed two tall and burly men, looking at the somewhat familiar faces of the two, after thinking for a while, he looked at Mickey with some surprise.

"Mendeleev brothers?"

"That's right! You have a really good memory, you met you a few years ago, and you still recognize it?"

Lu Ze has always had a good memory of top talents in the film industry, especially after seeing their works, and after the film "Cold Period", which was named the best film at the 2020 Cannes Film Festival and the cornerstone of the film award, he still remembers the two brothers vividly.

The younger brother Keishal's excellent rhythm control of the movie, as well as the elder brother Lucas's excellent mastery of the lens as a photographer, and the crazy energy of making movies are enough for Lu Ze to preserve the memory of the two, and even for a long time to come.

Although the two of them have changed a little, they are not too cold in winter, they both have shaved heads, and as they get older, the folds of their faces increase, causing their faces to look a little vicious, but their brown beards are very long, as if their hair has grown upside down.

Lucas's tattoos are even tattooed on the neck and back of his head, which doesn't look like a movie, but like a gangster, but although Lu Ze doesn't say that he knows the brothers well, he can also be said to know quite well, so he naturally makes no secret of his appreciation for the two, these two brothers are really talented.

"How did you sign them in?"

"What? Look down on me as a small family? Don't forget that you are also the boss, and you are not happy to sign two talents? It's just that it's not good, the Russian film industry is sluggish, and they can't meet their ambitions, and after they come out, the film companies of European countries look down on the Russians to some extent, resulting in poor treatment and no room for promotion, so I pulled them in, let's talk about it in detail later, hey! Lucas Kesha!"

"Dude, how are you doing?"

Most Russians actually live in Eastern Europe, living around Moscow, not as cold as everyone thinks, not even as far as Northeast China, and the race is not so burly, similar to the body of normal Europeans.

But the hometown of these two brothers is really close to Siberia, and their figures are also very consistent with the Russians in people's impressions, with a height of more than 1.9 meters, a weight of at least 300 pounds, and it is estimated that they also play fitness, their muscles are very obvious, and they are as strong as bears.

So much so that when Lucas and Mickey hugged, Mickey couldn't step on the ground, like a pet, ravaged by Lucas, and he couldn't break free, so he could only endure helplessly.

"Hello Mr. Lu, it's a pleasure to meet you again after three years, I really didn't expect you to be my boss, Kishal Deitri Mendeleev, you just call me Kesha, my friends call me that, this is my brother, Lucas. ”

Kesha has a very good impression of Lu Ze, because when he won the Cannes Film Festival that year, Lu Ze was the only person he noticed and sincerely congratulated them, and because of this, until now, Kesha is still grateful.

The appearance and the large tattoos on his body are not enough to judge the good and evil of the two, and Kesha's behavior is very inconsistent with the burly figure, but like a very polite gentleman.

"Don't stand on the street and talk, let's go in and talk. ”

After Lu Ze and Lucas shook hands, the four of them entered the Lionheart Bar together, where Lu Ze and Mickey were out-and-out celebrities, and after entering the bar, they were immediately warmly welcomed by the regular customers.

"Look who's coming! It's been a long time, man, Mr. Lu, how are you doing lately?"

"Lu, if you don't get drunk tonight, your consumption tonight is mine, I wish you a good time in Liverpool, respect friends!"

Tonight's rock party style is not cheerful country rock, nor melancholy British rock, but a hot and hormone-filled hard rock, the guitarist on stage is shaking his head to the drum beat and playing solo, a group of strong men in leather jackets drinking beer, hugging their sexy and scantily dressed female companions, and bragging with friends.

Lu Ze responded with a smile, hugged a few acquaintances, and then a group of four people came to the bar, and saw that Depp was busy, so they didn't bother, until Depp handed over a glass of beer to the other guests, and laughed heartily when he found them.

"Mickey, you kid hasn't been here for a few months, Lu Ze, how is my pronunciation?

"It's pretty standard, noon today. ”

"I knew that...... I know you didn't sleep well by looking at you, do you want a good night drink from a man?"

The palm of his hand and Depp's rough big hand slapped together, and shook it three times, indicating that the relationship was friendly and close, Lu Ze took out a cigarette from his pocket and distributed it to the four people, including Depp, and after lighting it, he threw the lighter on the bar and looked around the bar.

"Why didn't you see Elena?"

"It's thanks to you, she's now in an acting company, and she's currently filming a sitcom, Female No. 2! As a TV series with more than 50 episodes, it's already very powerful, right? You're bringing your friends here? Fresh faces, what's the drink?"

"Vodka. ”

Lucas was the first to answer Depp's words, and this rich tongue-in-cheek English made Depp frown violently, although he didn't give the two of them a look, but he dragged Mickey who was closest to him and asked in his ear.

"Why did you bring two Russians here? You know, Lionheart doesn't welcome Russians. ”

If it was just the impression that the Russians were rude and aggressive, Depp wouldn't have said anything, but after the thousands of fans were chased and beaten by hundreds of hairy people and made a big joke, the two sides completely got married, and Liverpool really didn't like Chelsea.

"Depp, this is the first time I've brought my friends out to play, do you want to drive me away? Don't do it, man, give some face, for Elena's sake. ”

"Let's not take this as an example...... Vodka, OK, there are not many people who drink vodka here, and now there is only half a bottle in stock, is it enough?"

Although Depp did not show hostility, the brothers were not stupid, their brains were clear, and their attitudes cooled down a little, but Depp didn't care at all, letting Maozi in was to give Mickey face, otherwise when they said the first word, they would definitely be beaten out by this bar patron who was all die-hard fans and drunk.

As soon as he took out the remaining half bottle of vodka from the cabinet, Mickey suddenly turned against the customer, jumped directly into the bar, and swaggered down four cups under Depp's bearded glare, and padded them with four napkins.

Ice cubes are poured into the glass and shaken, cold until the walls of the glass condense water droplets, pour a full half glass of absinthe up to more than 70 degrees, and shake again until the absinthe is diluted milky white, then cover it with a layer of syrup, pour in whiskey about three centimeters high, then add vodka three centimeters high, then fill the void in the glass with beer, and finally take out the ninety-six degree water of life with a dark smile and pour five or six drops.

Beer glass, five layers of distinctly colored body, this glass of wine is made by Mickey, it has not been named, if you want to give it a name, "drink the dead" should be extremely appropriate, Lu Ze subconsciously swallowed and spit, trembling and picked up the wine glass, only to find that the three of Mickey had already clinked glasses.

If you don't go abroad to see, I really don't know how foreigners don't take their lives, there is indeed a set of death, Lu Ze sniffed it first, gritted his teeth and took a big sip like them, and the flavor of dark beer in his mouth neutralized the bitterness of the water of life like industrial alcohol, and then the vodka was very good, but the stamina of the spicy throat rushed up, directly to the heavenly inspiration, and finally the peat smell of whiskey came up.

He hadn't drunk absinthe yet, but with just one sip, Lu Ze was already sure that he was on top, so drunk that he didn't stop Mickey from beating two raw eggs in his wine glass.

The band on the stage covered ACDC's songs, maybe they were all having fun, and the lead singer even took off to only a pair of pants, causing the female customers to scream, accompanied by a sharp guitar, this whole cup of "drinking the dead" was all loaded into Lu Ze's stomach, his consciousness began to blur, in the red as the main light, he couldn't stand steadily, and kept leaning on other people's bodies.

The three of Mickey are no better, this glass of wine, even if the orangutan drinks it, it should be poured, their amount of wine may not be as good as Lu Ze's, but they dare to drink it, and they really don't take their lives seriously.

The atmosphere reached its peak with the rise of alcohol, so that Lu Ze was wet with beer all over his body without knowing it, wine is something that can't taste wine after being drunk, and his tongue is numb, even if the degree is high, it tastes like water, in this state, alcoholism is really uncontrollable.

"Three, two, one, start!"

The crates of beer opened, and the old customers drank significantly faster than Lu Ze, who was already drunk, and in the shouts of others, they drank the sixth bottle of beer, and one didn't hold back, and all the drinks squirted out and scattered all over the ground, causing others to laugh, not ridicule, but more encouragement and comfort.

Then Lucas, who had the best amount of alcohol, took off his shirt and went shirtless, revealing his strong muscles and tattoos all over his body, while Lu Ze was helped to the bar and dozed off under Depp's nose.

"Drink some water, lukewarm, it'll be more comfortable. ”

"Thank you, Depp. ”

Half-squinted, he picked up the water cup and slowly entered it, but he didn't notice that the water flowed from his chin to his chest, Lu Ze hadn't drunk like this for a long time, the last time it should have been the eve of Zhuang Yu and Wang Zhen's wedding, until this glass of water was spilled clean, he couldn't control his desire to sleep anymore, and his head and water cup smashed on the table at the same time......

"It's really drunk, I didn't dare drink the first glass of wine when I was young, Mickey, this madman, James, give me his phone and wallet, don't be stolen. ”

The black leather wallet and the phone with the screen full of cracks were put into the bar, Depp looked at the stage, saw that Mickey was playing drunk, and he was wandering with the lead singer, wearing only pants and picking up Wang Baquan, and almost hit the bass, shook his head with a smile, picked up a white towel and wiped the wine glass, and talked and laughed with the middle-aged uncle named James.

"Look at them like this, sure enough...... The spirit of making movies is not very normal. ”

"There's always a fine line between a genius and a madman, and maybe living like us is mediocre in their eyes. ”
