Chapter 13 I am a Chinese
Lin Hai quickly dried his body and came out of the bathroom wrapped in a bathrobe.
There was a ghost in his heart, and his eyes were wandering around, but he didn't dare to look at Akimi Oshima.
Oshima Xiaomei was no better, she came back to her senses after reminding Lin Hai, and embarrassedly wanted to find a crack in the ground to get into.
In the end, it was Akimi Oshima who spoke first.
She threw Lin Hai a pair of beach pants and said, "It's cold at night, wear it and be careful of catching a cold." β
She herself has changed into loose trousers and a T-shirt, and is not inferior to the Chinese aunt.
This kind of practice of wanting to cover up is well known to each other, and they want to pretend to be stupid and stunned.
Lin Haimali put on his beach pants, took out a T-shirt from his suitcase and put it on, and then asked, "Are you sleepy now?"
"Not sleepy. β
"I'm not sleepy, why don't you go for a walk?"
"You're not afraid that you won't be able to get jet lag?"
Oshima Xiaomei hesitated, but acted quite decisively, ripped off the bath towel wrapped around her head, tied her long hair in a refreshing ponytail with a head rope, and said as she walked: "It's good to go out for a walk, I heard that the night view of Cannes is very beautiful." β
β¦β¦
It's hard to say whether the night view of Cannes is beautiful or not, but there are quite a lot of night owls.
The hotel is not far from Carol Beach, and the two decided to take a break on the beach, only to find that even though it was dark at night, there were still many people partying on the beach.
Colourful lights, bonfires and fireworks decorate the entire beach with people sitting around, singing and dancing, and bands doing live performances.
The strong atmosphere quickly made Lin Hai and Oshima forget about their embarrassment, and the two sang and danced with people from all over the world, and Lin Hai also took a musician's guitar and improvised a song.
No one came up to him without opening up and asked him what kind of music he played, and this kind of occasion was enough.
Enough of it, Lin Hai and Oshima Xiaomei found a place with few people to sit down, listen to the reverberation of the sea breeze and waves, and look up at the night sky together.
Today's night sky is beautiful, with purple in the blue and a galaxy of stars.
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have tempted you. Akimi Oshima said coldly.
Lin Hai didn't expect her to say it generously, and said with a smile: "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have peeked at you." β
Oshima Xiaomei twisted the back of Lin Hai's neck and said viciously, "What did you see?"
Lin Hai raised his hands high and surrendered: "Nothing!"
Enough trouble, Lin Hai sighed: "Actually, you don't have to apologize, but I, I should really thank you, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't necessarily be wandering anywhere now." β
Akimi Oshima didn't answer, and listened quietly.
Lin Hai continued: "Aren't you curious why I went to Japan?"
Oshima shook her head and said, "If you don't want to say it, you can not say it, I don't mind." β
"There's nothing you can't say. β
Lin Hai looked at the sky and said, "I grew up in Shanghai, and my mother died just after I was born. My father was a businessman, and he did a lot of business, but he didn't know how to take care of children, or the way he took care of children was to throw money at them...... Just because I was watching TV and casually said, 'I want to learn piano too,' he moved the piano home within a few days. Bechstein's high-end pianos, not to mention then, even now, are not many people can afford them. β
"Your father was very good to you. β
Others say the same. Lin Hai smiled: "So maybe I'm too hypocritical, but I really hope that he can care more about me, instead of using money to solve all problems." Maybe that's what art isβ" Lin Hai pointed to himself, "the difference between him and a businessman." β
"Because he is a businessman, he often goes out, and before I went to junior high school, I lived with a nanny most of the time, and in order to prevent me from being taken advantage of, he would change people every few months, and the nanny who left was not allowed to contact me again. He thought it was good for me, but he didn't know that I hated parting very much. β
"It's going to be lonely. Hiromi Oshima concluded.
"Yes, it's loneliness. Lin Hai said: "Because of loneliness, I can only focus on playing the piano, and I don't have any friends at school." This is my personal problem, I guess I was too proud at the time......"
"In fact, the reason why I practiced so hard was because I wanted to get his praise, but in my impression, he never praised me, even if I won more awards, it was like waste paper in his eyes. β
"Maybe that's how he inspired you?" asked Akimi Oshima.
Lin Hai shook his head and said: "I asked him this question, and his answer was: As long as you have money, what kind of award can't you get? β
"......" Akimi Oshima opened her mouth and held back a sentence for a while. "Maybe that's how he expresses his feelings?"
"If feelings can be measured by money, then I'd rather not!"
Lin Hai was a little excited. He calmed down and continued, "Later, he married a young woman, who was bent on driving me away, so I simply left on my own...... As for why I came to Japan, it was probably because it was close enough and far enough...... I don't want to give up music, and if I stay in China, who knows how much more he will do, then I will never try to prove myself...... I want to show him that I can make a difference on my own......"
Lin Hai was silent when he said this.
His mind drifted back to his previous life, when he had not been able to prove himself.
Regret it?
No regrets!
β¦β¦
"So you chose to smuggle in because you were afraid that he would find out your whereabouts?"
Akimi Oshima thought she had found the answer.
It's okay for her to think so, and Lin Hai of the province has tried to explain.
"I didn't expect to pick up a fallen prince. Akimi Oshima joked: "In this way, when you are developed, should you make a promise?"
"Are you so sure I'm going to make it?"
"Nonsense!" "Akimi Oshima said domineeringly: "When will the old lady look over!"
β¦β¦
Counting the stars to half past three, the two yawned and returned to the hotel, sharing the same bed, there was no beauty, only peace.
Early the next morning, Lin Hai reluctantly got up in a rush knock on the door, saw that there was no one around, thinking that Oshima Xiaomei had gone out and forgot to bring the room card, and when she opened the door, she found that it was Xavier.
"Hey!K......"
Xavier pounced on Lin Hai and gave him a bear hug, expressing his thoughts for him in his mouth, which translated into Uncle Gong's words was "I want to kill you!"
Lin Hai tried to deflect his head to avoid Xavier's spittle falling on his face.
Inviting the other party to sit down for a while, Lin Hai washed up briefly and made two cups of black tea.
"You drink tea with sugar!" Xavier expressed surprise.
"What's so strange about black tea sweetened? Besides, I'm here to take care of your taste. β
"No, no, no, you're mistaken, I'm a devout lover of oriental culture, and I never add sugar to my tea!"
"Need to make you a new drink?"
"No, I don't. β
Xavier put down the teacup, patted his head, and exclaimed exaggeratedly: "God, I still have the strength to drink tea......
"What's wrong?" Lin Hai looked dazed.
"What's wrong with me, you ask?" Xavier asked rhetorically, "Don't you know that the premiere is in the morning?"
"What time is it?"
"Ten o'clock!"
Lin Hai glanced at the wall clock, it was now nine o'clock.
He spread his hands and said, "So, what does the premiere have to do with me? Actually, I'm going to watch "Life is Beautiful". He said as he reached for the house catalogue on the table, "Let me see what time is the ...... of "Life is Beautiful"."
"You can't do that!"
Xavier pressed the house schedule and exclaimed, "There will be a question session after the premiere, and I know on my heels that there must be a lot of questions waiting for us......"
"It's you, it's not us, you're the soundtrack. Lin Hai corrected.
Xavier looked at Lin Hai strangely: "You don't know?"
"Know what?"
"The current soundtrack is you. Xavier said, "You think I'm going to be famous? No, I'm not that kind of person! The roster has been changed, and now you're the main soundtrack." β
Lin Hai scolded in his heart, he wanted to let the foreign devil block the gun in front, but he didn't expect people to flash directly.
"So come with me!" Xavier urged, "Trust me, this show wouldn't be complete without you!"
"Wait, let me see what time is "Life is Beautiful" first......"
"his beautiful life! his Italians!"
Xavier threw the house catalogue far away and raised his middle finger to the sky.
β¦β¦
Lin Hai changed into formal clothes under Xavier's constant urging, took care of it briefly, and waited for Xiaomi Oshima to come back and go to the theater together.
When he arrived at the theater, the movie was about to start, and Lin Hai was surprised to find that there were a lot of audiences, and the theater that could accommodate more than 300 audiences was almost full.
"The attendance is not low. Lin Hai said.
"Don't look at it, most of them are industry insiders, and the real audience is basically French. Xavier said: "It's my own people who shoot it, so I always have to save face." β
"You still know face?"
"I said I was a lover of oriental culture. β
"Then you should go to China. β
"Speaking of China, there are also Chinese on the jury of this festival. β
"Oh, who is it?"
Lin Hai was very interested, he knew that many Chinese had done Cannes judges, but he did not know who this time was.
βKaige-Chenγ β
Chen Kaige: It turned out to be him.
Lin Hai nodded, and asked again: "You used 'also' just now, who was there before?"
"The last edition was Li-Gong, a very beautiful actress, you don't know how charming she is......"
"I know. Lin Hai interrupted him and said, "I know better than you. β
"How do you know?"
"Because I'm Chinese. Lin Hai said to Xavier, who was stunned: "So don't show off your little bit of oriental culture in front of me......"
