454 Midnight Tales
"Huh. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info”
A cheerful chuckle sounded in his ears, like a torch passing through the dark night sky, alarming a waterfowl that fluttered through the trees and bushes, and then the warm light came down with a clatter, drawing all the fireflies and moths around it.
Lan Li came back to his senses, the thoughts of exploring the performance in his mind paused, turned his head, and then saw the red dress standing not far away.
Under the dim and faint street lamp, a slender but graceful figure stood in place, the lace suspender open V-neck evening dress dress skirt perfectly outlined the graceful curve of the upper body, the front wide and narrow back suspenders exposed the line of the chest and the outline of the collarbone speechless, even if the back could not be seen, people couldn't help but think of the smooth back of the back.
A touch of tulle is gathered around the waist, completely tightening the slender waist, and the coordinated and well-proportioned body proportions make the long legs hidden under the tulle skirt trigger countless reverie, and the light and fluffy skirt falls on the wet pavement, and the thrilling red spreads mightily, like a little blooming poppy, in the mysterious and silent night, dangerous and sexy/sensual.
Suddenly, a light breeze blew, the skirt fluttered gently, and a large area of red seemed to splash ink, unreasonably using the night as a curtain, sprinkling magnificently, spreading all over the sky, as if the whole world was full of hell red lotus in an instant, and the quiet and peaceful, mysterious aura seemed to have an aura, and began to spread violently, devouring all the colors around it, white, black, yellow, green, gray, blue...... And then only a patch of red remained.
The delicate woman standing in the middle of this red was slim and graceful, and in an instant, the light of the whole world fell on those bright and intelligent eyes.
Hula, hula...... The sound of the wind continued to resound, but the entire plane fell silent, as if all living things had stopped moving, leaving only the skirt fluttering freely.
It was an unexpected visitor, a visitor who was completely unexpected, and it appeared in such an amazing way. The night suddenly became lively.
"Hey, Alice. A smile flowed from Lan Li's eyes, and with a little joke in his polite voice, he took the initiative to say hello.
A breeze sent the words, and Rooney could hear the magnetic voice playing softly like a cello, so wonderful that it was like melted dark chocolate, flowing like silk, and people just wanted to indulge in it.
A goosebump floated on the surface of his skin, and he shivered involuntarily, but he couldn't tell whether it was the cold night dew or the moving sound of the piano.
"Huh. Rooney chuckled, thinking about it, it still felt a little ridiculous, a little funny, and then he couldn't help but chuckle twice, "Hey, Mad Hatter." ”
Alice and the Mad Hatter, isn't this "Alice in Wonderland"? However, it is also true, on this magical night, it is indeed a living wonderland.
Rooney looked at Lan Li, who was sitting motionless on the bench, and then at her footsteps standing where she was, then spread her hands, made a helpless gesture, and took the initiative to walk over. A simple action made Lan Li can't help but laugh, and then, I saw Rooney's footsteps stop, because the skirt was too long, spilled on the ground, and now because the wet ground stuck to the ground, and even stained with mud. The original magnificent and magnificent oil painting suddenly became embarrassed.
Such a scene directly made a cheerful laugh overflow from the corners of Lan Li's mouth, "Ha." The resonance of laughter echoed in his chest, buzzing.
Rooney drooped her shoulders, sighed, and then turned around, and simply tore off the skirt neatly, without even any hesitation, the picture of brute force explosion was really incompatible with her petite body, and the joy brought by the huge contrast always lingered, and there was a humorous effect in the era of black and white silent films.
The tulle skirt was easily torn off, but the back hem was thinned and pulled up, looking like a beggar's new outfit. Rooney looked down at the hem of her skirt, which had been cut in two, then shrugged her shoulders, took the tulle in her hand, lifted the hem of her skirt, strode towards Lan Li, and then sat down beside him.
"Is this sponsored?or purchased?" Lan Li pointed to the dying skirt in Rooney's hand, although he didn't smile, the light smile in his eyes lingered.
Rooney pursed her lips, "It's mine now." The meaning is self-explanatory.
Raising their heads, the two exchanged glances, but suddenly fell silent, and no one spoke. Not because I'm too embarrassed to know what to say, quite the opposite, but because there are so many topics to discuss that I don't know where to start. Or is there too many slots?
"Your head?" Rooney was the first to speak, finding the biggest slot and firing directly.
"How's that?" Lan Li's eyebrows raised slightly, originally elegant with a hint of playful movements, but now it became a little funny because of the eye-catching bald head, Rooney nodded seriously, "After the Mad Hatter took off his hat, this is what he looks like? If so, childhood is really disillusioned." ”
There is no ridicule, no ridicule, but a serious book, but it is precisely this kind of seriousness that makes people laugh even more.
"Your agent isn't looking for you?" and then Lan Li spoke, seeing Rooney here, it was incredible, from Los Angeles to Seattle, even the plane could not arrive instantly, Lan Li even wondered - didn't Rooney attend the Oscars?
"He must have gone crazy. Rooney shrugged and glanced at her lips nonchalantly, "But, I'm already here, what else can he do?" The appearance of a single person couldn't help but laugh, and Rooney asked rhetorically, "What about you, why haven't you passed?"
Lan Li pointed to his head, "I just finished filming this scene." ”
Without further explanation, it dawned on Rooney. He took a serious look at Lan Li's head again, and felt more and more amazed.
When he was in Telluride, Rooney knew that Lan Li was a dedicated actor, and an exceptionally good actor, but they never worked together, just the impression of the screen and the feeling of talking. Today, that feeling is real.
"Compared to here, the Sunset Tower Hotel is the busiest now. Lan Li's words were understated, but there seemed to be something in the words, and it sounded like a rhetoric.
These words came from an actor who refused to attend the Oscars, filmed in Seattle, and shaved his head. Rooney rolled her eyes and said in retort, "Hah! "The vivid white eyes, vivid," to be honest, it was really suffocating there, the ubiquitous lights, the ubiquitous crowd, the ubiquitous smiles, just like the Venice Carnival, everyone wore a mask with similar smile arcs and empty eyes, which made people shudder. ”
"The Venice Carnival is such a terrible occasion that I knew for the first time. Lan Li teased with a chuckle.
From here, you can feel Rooney's youth, impulsive, wanton, flamboyant, clear opinions, black and white, but for Lan Li, those parties in London's high society, everyone's expressions are vivid, but every word and deed has no soul, that is really terrible.
If he attended the Oscars, Lan Li felt that it was at least more interesting than the aristocratic social occasions in London.
Rooney put her finger on her lips, made a "shhhh ”
Lan Li didn't refute, just pursed the corners of his mouth, "So did I win the award?"
According to Rooney's guess, Lan Li was absent from the award ceremony tonight, and he was bound to be disdainful of the award results, and it was very likely to refute or ridicule them;
This was the first time Rooney had truly seen Lan Li's cunning and wisdom.
"Nope. Rooney didn't go around in circles, rolled her eyes widely, and said disdainfully, "There are no surprises tonight." Colin Firth and Natalie Portman won, and 'The King's Speech' beat the 'Social Network'. It's unfazed, and it's boring enough to make people drowsy. After all, the academy still lacks courage, and can even be said to be timid. ”
Simple comments, but you can get a glimpse of her sharpness and straightforwardness.
History, after all, has not been able to change the original trajectory.
Natalie still managed to reach the top with "Black Swan", becoming the first actor of Generation Y to win the award, even earlier than Leonardo DiCaprio, Matt Damon and others of Generation X, making history, Generation Y really began to enter the front line of the film industry;
Lan Li, a reborn little butterfly, still has limited influence.
The trajectories of the previous life still follow the inevitability of history. So, does this mean that all of Lan Li's efforts are in vain?
Even if he tried his best, he couldn't change history, he couldn't break through the blockade, and he couldn't get his own recognition? Even if he won the Emmy Award for "Pacific War" and even if he got the nomination for "Buried Alive", this has changed the trajectory of history to some extent, but does it stop there and can't go further? Even if he has changed the historical trajectory of many works in a row, the actor "Blue Rite Hall" still can't change the entire Hollywood pattern?
All his efforts and persistence, in the face of the wheel of history, were only in vain?
Such thoughts only flashed through his mind, and then Lan Li regained his composure. From the moment he came to New York, against the expectations of George and Elizabeth, he knew what path he was facing, and from the moment he was born again, he knew how difficult his dream was. He won't give up, not in the past, not now, not in the future.
History exists because it is meant to be changed and written.
