The paparazzi waiting across the parking lot at the back entrance of the Sunset Tower Hotel were in a commotion, and their eyes turned to the direction of the longitudinal street on the right, and then they could see the three paparazzi running back in a smoke, shouting, "Really, it's true!" Lan Li really entered the trailer restaurant, and he chatted with the waiter, ordering a cup of coffee and a sandwich. ”

"Wow", the paparazzi suddenly became excited, and they exchanged glances one after another.

"You say, should we follow this clue? Maybe Lan Li is waiting for some special person at the trailer? Maybe it's a scandal?"

"I think, maybe it's a big deal, otherwise how could Lan Li leave Oscar Night alone?"

"I don't think so. Last year and the year before, Lan Li didn't attend the Oscar night, so why is this year an exception? I think Lan Li simply didn't want to stay any longer, so he left alone. This is the choice that fits his personality. ”

"That'...... Will Lan Li come back?"

Standing quietly on the sidelines, Elliot did not participate in the discussion.

He deeply believes that if Lan Li is purely to go out for a sandwich or hamburger, and then return to Oscar night, this is also absolutely possible, with Lan Li's personality, it is completely impossible to predict his behavior, but he knows that he should not follow the line of Lan Li, he refuses, solemnly refuses!

The paparazzi had a good commotion for a while, but after all, no one took a step. Although Lan Li is one of the biggest popular figures in Hollywood now, in the past few months, there has been a lack of breaking points after all, not to mention that Lan Li chose to leave alone just now, no matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like there is major news.

In the meantime, two paparazzi were still not reconciled, and ran to the other side of the street to investigate, but still found nothing, and finally had to come back dejected.

Elliot, who watched from the sidelines, was deeply satisfied with his wisdom.

……

Once upon a time, the sunset boulevard, which was a smash hit in Hollywood, has now gradually decayed, and many mansions and estates have been abandoned and dilapidated, some have been renovated, some have been overturned and rebuilt, and some have gradually lost their original appearance in the wind and rain, and can no longer be recognized.

Surrounded on three sides, this small open space stands lonely and stubborn, out of step with the bustle and bustle of the surrounding area, with a luxury resort on the left, a traditional western cowboy restaurant on the right, and the famous Sunset Tower Hotel on the opposite.

At this time, Lan Li sat in this train car.

Actually, it's a restaurant that serves American breakfast, as well as Mexican cuisine. Like the countless chauffeur restaurants on both sides of American highways, everything is the simplest of meals, but with the distinctive characteristics of the United States, a plate of scrambled eggs, a sandwich, two pieces of bacon, and a cup of coffee, and that's enough.

Sitting at the bar in the train carriage, you can see the endless stream of people in front of the Sunset Tower Hotel, as if everyone is doing their best to get into it, and on the other side of the street, enjoy the incredible tranquility, as if sitting on the side of the road and watching the crowd come and go.

In the heart of Los Angeles, but with a hint of the West's recklessness.

Perhaps that's the most amazing part of Sunset Boulevard.

Tasting the coffee in front of him carefully, without sugar and milk, a faint bitterness spread on the tip of his tongue like cigarette ash, his eyebrows couldn't help frowning slightly, and he raised his head to look at the waiter not far away, "Is this pot of coffee burnt?"

The waiter laughed happily, "I'm sorry, I've been watching the excitement behind me before, and I didn't pay attention, and I accidentally burned it." As an apology, I can give you a puff for free. Trust me, you'll love it. The waiter neatly filled a puff with a small saucer and placed it next to the Lan Li coffee, and blinked, "Apologize again." ”

The restaurant is located directly across from the Sunset Tower Hotel, and every year Oscar Night is closely watched, and he naturally recognizes Lan Li at first sight.

In fact, it's not just Blue Gifts, almost every year on Oscar night, the train car can welcome a lot of actors and directors, before or after the party, they are very happy to recharge a little energy here and enjoy a moment of peace, and there is a moving hamburger food car next to the train car, where business is even more boom-

Tonight, just after the Oscars, a crowd of big stars surrounded the place. He even saw tonight's winner of Best Director, Lee/An, feasting on a golden figure in one hand and a hamburger in the other.

So seeing Lan Li at this time, the waiter didn't make too much of a fuss.

"Is it just me, or is his coffee burnt too?" Lan Li smiled and gestured to the young man sitting two empty seats on his left.

At this time, there are only two of them next to the entire bar, and they don't need to be deliberate to notice each other. It's just that all the young man's mind was focused on the Sunset Tower Hotel opposite, and he didn't notice Lan Li's entry and exit at all.

The waiter smiled and said, "I don't think he minds." He's been sitting here for a full three hours, and after countless refills, I strongly suspect that his taste buds have lost their senses. "In a food truck like this, the coffee is filled with unlimited cups.

"I mind. The young man seemed to finally sense the conversation and retorted, "But the problem is that I have a stomach full of coffee and can't eat puffs anymore, so I still refuse." Then, he shrugged his shoulders slightly, "What's more, I like burnt coffee." It keeps me awake. ”

This is a very young lad, with curly hair like bubble noodles, curly like a curly dog, even more serious than Justin Timberlake's curls, so cute that the childish baby fat face looks more and more green, and it looks like he has just graduated from college - or even not graduated.

A dark gray shirt, a jet-black suit, and a dark blue diagonal stripe tie.

It seems to be a formal and serious outfit, but the flaws can be clearly seen.

The shirt and suit did not fit well, the shoulders, elbows, sleeves and hem could be seen awkwardly, the tie knot was slightly loosened, the top shirt button was unbuttoned, and the cuffs seemed to be loosened a little, as if the long wait had been suppressed for too long, and the muscles and nerves were tense to the extreme, and had to be loosened slightly.

It's all in the details.

Just like the image of Mark Zuckerberg in the "social network", even in formal clothes, his body reveals many details that are arrogant and difficult to control, in stark contrast to several other founders, and the same is true for young people at this time, a suit and formal wear still cannot give him a calm and sophisticated temperament.

The young man lightly pointed to the coffee cup in front of him, "I'm sorry, can you refill it for me?"

He seemed to catch Lan Li's gaze, turned his head slightly, and looked at Lan Li's outfit with the rest of his gaze - the suit and leather shoes, shiny, obedient, and meticulous, but for them, the details of these suits were meaningless, and the suit on Wall Street and the suit for Oscar seemed to be the same.

Simply and plainly, he thought that next to him was a Wall Street elite or, like him, a hunter with a clear and strong purpose.

"So, you're waiting for someone too?" he withdrew his gaze, just glancing at the other person's face, but his attention had already shifted first, and he didn't pay much attention at all, and then he picked up his coffee cup again, and took a sip, the hot coffee made him grin, but he swallowed it anyway.

"It's incredibly difficult, isn't it? I've been wondering if I'm just going to just rush in, shove my work into his arms, and pray that he'll be able to go home and watch it, isn't that too risky? Not to mention whether his security guards will just throw me out, and I don't think he'll be willing to watch it when he gets home. ”

The young man said to himself, not so much complaining as uneasy, and the whole person was filled with a sense of uncertainty and anxiety, and then he scratched his head vigorously, and the curls instantly became more messy.

"I don't know, but ...... Who are you waiting for?"

The young man shrugged, "Anyone." It's literally, anyone. The director, the screenwriter, the actor, the producer, the cinematographer, I don't care, I just need to be anyone who can name me, and I want to give him my project and let him see it and find an investor. ”

After saying that, the young man himself smiled bitterly, "I know, it's stupid, it's the way it was in the eighties." But ......," the young man bowed his head in frustration, "but I was cornered. I've been trying to find investors for the past two years, from New York to Los Angeles, from Seattle to Chicago, and now I'm bankrupt and no one wants to invest. ”

"Whew", the young man smiled self-deprecatingly, "I even took the script and made a short film, participated in the Sundance Film Festival earlier this year, and won the award, I thought it would be easier, but two months have passed......" The young man did not continue, and shook his head helplessly, it was really difficult to explain.

"Yes, I know, waiting is a painful process. What's even more terrifying is that we don't know if the outcome is what we want. Lan Li smiled and agreed.
