Chapter 368: Berlin
"The nominations have been announced, not surprisingly, you and I have both won, and the effect of the screening is very good, many people voted for us, I have some friendship with Kane, a member of the jury team, and got a little inside information, although I did not disclose the specific winners, but it can be seen that the jury still prefers us, by the way, what time do you set the plane, I will arrange a car to pick you up. ”
"The flight showed that it landed at 3.17, but it just rained sleet today, and I don't know if the flight from Liverpool will be delayed. ”
The pencil unconsciously wandered over the notebook, not limited to a single line, drawing a tangled ball of black wool, stained with lead stains on the bottom of the palm, and evenly smeared the entire paper in a few shades.
The style of the whole room is slightly messy with the waste manuscripts that are spread all over the table, his left hand is holding his phone next to his ear, his right hand is still working on this meaningless painting, but his head is looking at the still fan on the ceiling, obviously, his mind is not on the other end of the phone, nor is it on the other end of the phone......
There is no problem with his spirit, after the relationship with the people in the city continues to heat up, all the obstacles that will interfere with his spirit will be settled by them, and now this appearance is just a transitional immersion in the absurd world of his pen, about this, the people in the city can't control it, he can be depressed, but he can't be crazy, so he is depressed now.
"Okay, there's a screening and my interview at four o'clock this afternoon, so I can't pick you up, but the car has been arranged, I'll send you the phone number by text message, and when you arrive in Berlin, you can call the person who picked you up directly, I have something to do here, hang up first, bye-bye." ”
"Knock Knock Knock ......"
When the time reached twelve o'clock in the afternoon, the pendulum of the vertical clock began to shake, striking loudly, reminding Lu Ze that he was ready to go.
There was no clock in the office, and the clock was bought in a second-hand antique shop near Mickey's apartment, and the price was not expensive, because new ones are now available in the UK, and second-hand old models with no proof of celebrity use will not sell for a price at all.
However, Lu Ze is very satisfied with this clock, although it is a little old on the outside, but there is no problem on the inside, and the most important thing is that the old Lu family originally had a similar clock, although it looks like a miniature version compared to the one he bought now, it can only be hung on the wall, but it still needs to be wound, and twelve o'clock and six o'clock will also make the same sound.
The main purpose of buying this clock is not to see the time or decorate the office, but to use it as a memory, a kind of commemoration, because when he was a child, his favorite thing was to wind the clock and listen to the sound of the wind turning.
Although there is no mandarin duck pattern on this clock, there is no chicken, and it has lost a lot of Chinese flavor, but the solid wood is brushed with brown paint, which looks simple and heavy, but at least there is a feeling of returning to childhood.
When you are older, when you see something that was common in your childhood, but now it is not common, you will always stop to take a look, look more, and even hope to have it, this kind of nostalgia appears at the right time and place, and it is the most able to break the shackles of time and release the good memories that belong to you, so ...... It's not bad to be hypocritical once in a while.
Tearing off the page full of black lines, crumpling it into a ball, picking up the trash can to clean up all the waste manuscripts, he got up, pushed open the window, after the sleet was a clear sky, the breeze was a little cooler, the collar of the white shirt was blowing, the troubles were behind his head, and he wanted to stop the wind, but he restrained him, let the wind pass through, and did not linger at all.
The old man who took care of the prop warehouse cleared the snow, occasionally took out the iron wine pot that was hot in his arms, took a sip of whiskey, tightened his cotton clothes, and continued to work with a blank face.
Outside the hospital, a girl waited on the side of the road until an old sedan stopped, and the boy thoughtfully adjusted the passenger seat for her, and then the two kissed in the car as if no one was around.
A black mother who is not very well off the economy is angrily scolding her three young children until she is in tears, holding three little black children with peanut butter on their faces but ignorant expressions and crying.
The advertisements posted by the predecessors will be cleaned up by the community cleaners, the refugee robbers will be arrested by the police, the homeless will exchange the change for the hamburgers, and the cleaned community message boards will still be advertised, and the refugees will continue to rob after they are released from prison, and the homeless will lie there waiting for the next change after eating this meal, so is the world changing, or is it unchanged?
Is it as clear as a clear sky, or is it as filthy as depicted in "Dead Life"?
He stood in front of the window and thought for a long time, turned around and went to the boss's room to wash the lead stains on his hands, picked out a gray tie and tied it, put on a blue suit, returned to the desk and put the black-covered notebook with the script in the briefcase, closed the window, picked up the luggage, and left the office, only the second hand of the pendulum was still unswervingly moving towards the next second.
In fact, he has been thinking about it this week, and he has also come to the result, and the result is...... No answer.
......
His luck was good, the airport staff quickly cleared the snow, the flight was not delayed, and at 1:45 the plane rose from the ground and flew into a blue field.
There was also a tall, blonde British beauty beside him, who had an occasional conversation with Lu Ze, but after that, they were busy and didn't say goodbye until they got off the plane.
It is said that the ancestors of the British are Anglo-Saxons in Germany, so there is a close connection between German and English, and even the vocabulary is partially common, so Lu Ze still can't understand it.
He dialed the phone number that Mitch had sent him, and the man on the other side of the phone did not speak stiff English like the Germans he met at the airport, and he was very fluent in the language to inform him that he was waiting at the airport gate.
"I'm already at the airport gate. ”
"Mr. Lu, are you wearing a blue suit and carrying a black briefcase? Okay, I see you. ”
A middle-aged man of medium stature walked over with a trot to shake hands with Lu Ze, then handed over a car key, and asked Lu Ze to show his embassy stamp to translate the driver's license, and when all the formalities were completed, Lu Ze watched the man leave speechlessly, and then looked at the gray Porsche 918 next to him, and fell silent.
Half-squatting into the car, adjusting the main driver's seat to his comfortable position, looking for a while, finally opened the convertible, just like that, when Lu Ze sat up straight, he was still about a Tianling cover higher than the original position of the carport, and with a light throttle, this top sports car flexibly overtook the vehicle in front of him, followed the instructions of the navigation, and entered the highway.
The unlimited speed highway itself is quite enjoyable, coupled with a sports car with excellent performance, which is why Lu Ze did not choose to go directly to the downtown hotel, although the scalp is a little cold, but listening to the roar of the engine, and the acceleration of 100 kilometers in 2.8 seconds, adjusted to the track mode and slamming on the accelerator to bring the feeling of pushing back, such driving fun makes Lu Ze also can't help but like it.
When he was young in the magic capital, he envied those supercars that appeared on the streets late at night, but now even if he has this spare money, he will not consider buying such models, first of all, his height is not suitable, and secondly, his age is also a little old, he can't stand it a little bit when he drives fast, his heart is pounding, this kind of car is definitely fun, but it's just fun.
Even if there is no speed limit, Lu Ze only drove less than 180 kilometers per hour, and he is not a professional racing driver, occasionally the speed exceeds 200 per hour, and he feels that the vision ahead is small, and he can't help but beat a little drum in his heart, and the fuel tank can't stand it, so he takes the initiative to reduce his speed and leave at the next high-speed intersection.
When I returned to the booked hotel, it was close to five o'clock in the afternoon, and there were many people on the road taking pictures of the car, which made Lu Ze somewhat embarrassed, first of all, the car was not his own, but he was addicted, and secondly, he was very low-key, after satisfying the comfort of driving, the brand of the car itself was not attractive to him, simply put, it was what was comfortable to drive, anyway, it was only used for transportation.
Before getting out of the car, he briefly combed his hairstyle, and it was also a shame that Lu Ze was on the back, and changed to a hairstyle combed forward, it is estimated that the brain melon seeds exploded directly, and after parking the car and leaving, Mickey was already waiting at the door of the hotel, and when he saw Lu Ze coming, he waved his hand with a bright smile, but ushered in the key thrown by Lu Ze.
"Hurry up and return the car, and the next time this moth comes out, I'll take a taxi directly." ”
"Doesn't this make you have a good time, okay, if you don't want to open it, you can't open it, and this thing is not suitable for you to open, by the way, how is the storyboard?"
"It's okay, it's going well, you got half of it, I wrote about a third of it this week, the time is too tight, I can't finish it, but the idea is there, hurry up and work, and it'll be over in four or five days, I'll show you later, let's go, go upstairs first." ”
"Wait ......"
Lu Ze was a little tired and wanted to go upstairs to take a shower and change clothes, but Mickey grabbed his arm and stopped him, which made Lu Ze a little unkind, looked up and down at the smiling Mickey, and asked.
"What?"
"It's five o'clock, let's go out to dinner." ”
"I've just arrived, why don't you let me put my luggage on?"
"Throw the front desk and let them help keep it, let's go, let's go, I'm still in a hurry, I've made an appointment." ”
"Who?"
"Kamiya Kidman Xugula, Queen of the Silver Bear, my heroine!"
