On April 28, the sky in New York was gray, and large dark clouds were pressing on the head, and it seemed that it was about to rain at any moment.

Wang Yang sat on a long bench on the edge of the playground, looking at the distant and elevated wire fence, and his heart was blank. A bald black man next to him smiled and bumped his fist with another black man in the ditch head who came over: "Yo yo, man! got it?" The black man in the ditch head glanced at Wang Yang and said softly: "Absolutely good thing......

Wang Yang stood up with a blank face and walked to the phone booth, his parole application was still not approved, what the hell! What made him even more crazy was that today was an important day, and he should be happy with an important person, but he was still here.

Came to the phone booth and waited for a white prisoner inside for a while, Wang Yang walked in and picked up the microphone and pulled out a number, and pouted for a while, but what he heard was the voice of the system: "I'm sorry, the other party can't answer for the time being......" He scratched his head, what the hell is going on? She knows that this time of day is his release time, and he has been there every day for more than a month, why is it like this for half an hour today, she went back to Los Angeles two days ago, is something wrong?

Thinking of this, Wang Yang's heart suddenly tightened, and he hurriedly dialed another number, which was quickly connected, and he asked with a frown: "Joshua, is Jessica there? No one listens to her mobile phone." And there is no one to answer the landline at our house, where has she gone? Go to Santa Monica alone? You call her to try it......" Hanging up the microphone, he closed his eyes in a frenzy, and slammed his head into the glass of the phone booth a few times, worried and bored in his heart.

After a while, he dialed again, and this time someone finally answered! I heard Jessica's voice over there anxious and apologetically said: "Young, I'm sorry, I just drove to Santa Monica Beach, and halfway there, I realized that my phone wasn't there! I'm so sorry! I'm really messed up......"

Hearing her voice, Wang Yang exhaled a long breath and thanked God! He hurriedly said, "No, no, no, you're fine!" He pretended to laugh lightly and said, "Jessica, happy birthday!" Jessica's gentle voice came from the microphone: "Well, thank you." Wang Yang leaned on the phone booth and said with a smile: "Who is attending today......'s party?" I've got a gift for you, from Joshua, and I think you'll love it, haha...... No, you'll find out at night......"

Not long after the two chatted, a shrill bell suddenly sounded on the playground, and the time to let off the wind was coming to an end! What are you going to do with this broken prison! Wang Yang couldn't help kicking the phone booth and said with a smile: "I have to go back, sweetheart, happy birthday." ”

At night, in the dimly lit cell, Robert Downey Jr. stood in front of the iron door of the cell with a cigarette in his mouth; Wang Yang walked around in silence, imagining the birthday party in Los Angeles now, and they were having dinner on the garden lawn? Or were they singing and dancing in the house?

"Happy Birthday...... Wang Yang sighed annoyingly, remembering her 17th birthday, they were not in a relationship yet, she happily introduced her family and friends to him, she was angry because Miranda couldn't help with the release of "Ghost Record"; on her 18th birthday, they spent happily at the premiere of "Youth Musical"; 19 years old, it was the same happy and unforgettable; and today is her 20th birthday, such an important number, but he completely missed it!

In the past month or so, he missed the USC Sweet Top 16, the Elite Top 8 against Duke University, and he missed the finals and the Oscars...... It doesn't matter, but Jessica's 20th birthday! There will be no second chance, 20th birthday is only once, and if you miss it, you will only miss it forever. He knows that every girl dreams of a birthday of 18, 20 and so on, and now the situation is that her boyfriend is locked up, and it is memorable enough, but will she be happy?

The more Wang Yang thought about it, the more he felt his heart blocked, and at this time, suddenly bursts of smoke floated over, smelling his nose sour, he turned to look at Robert Downey who was smoking over there, and shouted angrily: "Don't fuck smoke here!"

Donnie shook off the cigarette ash, inhaled hard, and said with a puff of smoke: "I'm standing here at the door and smoking, man, what else do you want?" Besides, this is not the first time that he has violated the "regulations", he looked at Wang Yang, who gritted his teeth and his eyes were burning with anger, and said in a casual tone: "What's the matter? Are you in a bad mood today?"

"Robert. Wang Yang clenched his fists with both hands, his whole body trembled a little with inexplicable anger, and he said coldly: "I'll say it again, don't smoke here!" Donnie took another puff, simply turned around and turned his back to him, and smiled: "Boy, this is my freedom." ”

"Freedom, aha, that's all you have left?" Wang Yang sneered and walked up to Donnie in a few steps, pulled him over, and twisted the collar of his prison uniform: "I tell you, no one is free here! Freedom is outside!" he said as he pulled the cigarette off Donnie's mouth and threw it on the ground, and his feet in prison shoes stomped the cigarette fiercely.

Donnie frowned and looked at him, and shouted very dissatisfied: "Hey, what are you doing!?" Before he could finish speaking, he felt a huge pain in his left cheek, and his whole head was thrown to the right uncontrollably, and it was Wang Yang's fist that smashed into his face! Downey looked pained and stunned, and he was about to struggle, Wang Yang punched him in the stomach again, and hissed: "Has anyone ever told you in this way? You're just a fucking pile of shit!"

Donnie's stomach was punched several times in a row, his eyes widened in pain and he gritted his teeth, and he couldn't even make a sound: "Oh, oh, oh......" Wang Yang scolded angrily while beating him: "Smoking your mother's cigarettes, smoking your mother's poison, why can't you fucking think about it! You're so happy to be locked up here, aren't you! You've hurt Jessica, you've hurt your wife and son, **-you!" I didn't want to take care of it, but your shit affected others, I said don't smoke, everyone said don't take drugs, you can't fucking listen to it!

As he spoke, he pushed Donnie with both hands, and with a loud "bang", Donnie hit the iron door of the cell and fell to the ground. Donnie curled up in pain, a huge pain spreading from his stomach, and his whole body was numb: "Ah...... Ahh......h

The loud noise also attracted the attention of the other prisoners, who all knew what had happened, and the whole prison suddenly boiled: "Wow-whoa-whoo-" All kinds of heckling and whistling were heard far away.

Listening to these voices, looking at Donnie who was rolling on the ground in pain while covering his stomach, Wang Yang suddenly calmed down, what was he doing?!How could he be so irritable and didn't want to be paroled?!Damn...... "Boy......" Donnie's face was covered with cold sweat, he looked at Wang Yang with a blank face, and smiled uncomfortably: "Ahem...... It's just that I fell on my own, ahem, it's just me who fell on my own! I'm not going to break your parole. He laughed, grinned in pain, and grinned, "Taste it, that's what it's like to be in prison, irritable, lonely, isolated from the whole world! You can see the world, but you can't touch it." What's so interesting about going to jail? That's it! haha......"

Wang Yang covered his forehead silently, let out a long sigh, and said, "Robert, I'm sorry. "There's nothing wrong with him hitting Cole, but most of the anger he's hitting Downey now is because he missed Jessica's birthday...... He shook his head and apologized again, "I'm sorry! I didn't control myself, it's Jessica's birthday, I'm so angry......"

"Oh!" Donnie said with a sympathetic look on his face, and then incredulously, "That's why I'm going to be beaten!?" Wang Yang bent over and stretched out his hand to him, and said sincerely, "I'm sorry." But listen to me, don't touch drugs again. Donnie was pulled to his feet in pain and smiled, "I think about it, I'll think about it." ”

At this time, the voice of the prison guard came from outside: "If you don't want to be confined, just quiet me! Damn!" With the sound of footsteps, he shouted again: "Who the hell is making trouble?" Another prisoner laughed and said: "Sir, it's the star house!", "That Hollywood director is fighting with the big stars!" Soon, the prison guard came to the outside of cell 149, he looked at Donnie sitting on the edge of the bed, and Wang Yang who was standing, and asked, "What's the matter with you?

"Good evening, officer! But nothing happened. Donnie answered the guard's question with a smile as he covered his stomach with one hand and stroked his still aching cheek. Wang Yang also shrugged his shoulders in disapproval.

Seeing that they all said that it was okay, the prison guard didn't bother to care about anything, so he said "don't make trouble" and left. Wang Yang and Donnie glanced at each other, both smiled self-deprecatingly, after getting along for a month, although the two often quarreled, but they also had some "feelings", knowing what kind of person the other party was, so Donnie chose to forgive him and did not hinder his parole application.

Lying on the solid top bunk, Wang Yang kept tossing and turning, why was he so irritable? Because he was isolated by the whole world? When he first came in, although he was impatient, he felt that it was no big deal, and slowly changed...... Is humanity really so afraid of loneliness? He rolled over, looked at the ceiling within reach, and wondered how the party was going now? Did Jessica like the gift? Was she thinking about him...... Thinking about it, he closed his eyelids in a daze.

"Whew!" Wang Yang suddenly woke up, feeling a burst of pain all over his body, he looked at his body, hands and feet, and suddenly screamed: "Oh, my God!" I saw that his hands turned into black beetle hands, a pair of antennae also grew on his head, his abdomen and back turned into a hard insect shell, and he became a big beetle!

"What's going on!?" He jumped out of bed with a look of incredulity, feeling a pair of wings on his back! He spread out, and suddenly felt happy that he could fly out of here! Thinking of this, Wang Yang glanced at Donnie, who was snoring profusely, and then walked quickly to the window of the cell, opened the window and jumped out, all the way from Lake Island, New York, back to Beverly Hills, Los Angeles.

I saw that on the wide green lawn, there were tables and chairs for the party, and the tables were filled with delicious food, Joshua, Zachary, Michael Pitt, Rachel, Natalie...... And Jessica, everybody was there, all of them were smiling happily and talking to each other. Wang Yang ran towards them with great joy, waving his hand and shouting, "Hey, everyone, I'm back! Happy birthday, Jessica!"

When everyone heard the voice, they all turned their heads to look at him, but everyone had a strange look on their faces, and Danny hissed in a low voice, and the hairs on his body stood on end. Jessica frowned tightly, pointed at him blankly, and asked, "Young, how did you become a beetle? What is going on!?" Natalie also asked strangely, "Dude, you became Beetle?"

Wang Yang looked at his body left and right, also very confused, and said, "I don't know, this is what happened when I woke up...... Jessica, everyone, trust me, I'll find a way to change back!"

"This ......" Jessica had a hesitant expression on her face, Natalie hesitated, Rachel and everyone else looked at him suspiciously, Danny suddenly barked out, Jessica suddenly screamed: "You're not Jan, what are you?!Get out...... Natalie then gritted her teeth and said, "He's a monster, a real monster!" Everyone shouted in disgust: "Yes, he's not Jan, Jan is dead!", "Who is Jan, kill him!"

At this moment, Mark Alba suddenly rushed out of the house with a shotgun in his hand, and said viciously: "You bed bug, my gun is already aimed at you! If you don't want to eat the bullet, disappear immediately, or I will kill you!"

"No, I'm not going anywhere, this is my home!" Wang Yang's heart almost stopped beating in discomfort, he looked at everyone, and shouted in pain: "It's me, it's me!" Natalie on the other side said disdainfully: "You are no longer Yang, you are just a bedbug, no one will care about you anymore!" Wang Yang glared at her angrily, grabbed the tentacles on his head, and shouted: "Even if I am a beetle, I am still Yang!"

"Die!" clicked, and Mark Alba turned on the shotgun's safety and was about to pull the trigger. Jessica suddenly pounced on him and grabbed him, crying out, "Daddy, don't kill him......! Jan, hurry up!"

"How can this be!" Wang Yang spread his wings in pain and flew to the corner of a gray and dirty alley, under the dim alley lamp, he curled up next to the garbage can, he was very hungry, hungry and desperate to eat the rotten bread in the garbage can, he looked at the moths under the street lamp, an unprecedented sadness and loneliness came up, is he going to die here...... Suddenly, a figure appeared in front of him, he looked up, only to see a gentle face Helen, he shouted in surprise: "Helen! I am Jan!" Helen smiled and nodded, "I know." She suddenly flew up and kicked at him, shouting angrily, "Young, you bastard, die!"

"Hell!" Wang Yang opened his eyes suddenly, gasping for breath, looking at the snow-white ceiling, his whole body was soaked in cold sweat. He hurriedly looked at his hands and feet, it wasn't a beetle, thank goodness, it wasn't a damn beetle...... He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and shook his head with a wry smile: "It's just a nightmare, it's just a dream!"

But the sadness and loneliness in the dream still bothered his heart, and he covered his face with his hands, feeling very depressed and depressed...... Why did he have such a dream? Why did he lie here!?

The reason why he is here all starts when he makes an appointment to meet Natalie at a café and gets stuck in traffic, gets lost, and sees Ms. Carmen begging for that bastard cop...... He then helped carry Briana to the hospital, where he beat Cole and was sentenced to prison.

Briana needed him to save because of the scumbag policeman, maybe it was racism, maybe there was something wrong with her head, and the little girl almost died! But the New York police later said that they had investigated all the police officers in that police district that day and found no one involved in the incident, and the man was likely to be other public servants who drove a vehicle similar to the police, and he helped Ms. Carmen to prosecute without giving up, so that the New York police finally "lifted" the traffic policeman, made a public apology, and fired the scumbag. Ms. Carmen's family was reluctant to go to court anymore, and that was the end of the matter.

Then there is his intentional wounding case, that scumbag Cole, not only got in the way on the road, but also wanted to provoke him to beat people up in order to make a news, he fulfilled that guy, go to jail and go to jail!

Why did Cole do that? The policeman? They were so indifferent because of racism? If Briana was their daughter, would those scum regret it if the same thing happened to them in the future? Why do humans always hurt each other? Yellow guys, white guys, black guys, aren't they all human? Why can human nature be so ugly sometimes? What kind of creatures are human beings?

Wang Yang's eyes looked at the ceiling without blinking, and the more he thought about it, the clearer it became in his heart, if he really turned into a beetle, would that dream just now come true? or who ...... He jumped out of bed and went to his desk, and by the dim light, he picked up a copy of Kafka's Collected Works, opened it, found the Metamorphosis inside, and began to read.

"Man......" Just as he was fascinated, Donnie over there suddenly shouted, as if he hadn't slept all along, and he said, "Hmm, uh...... You think I can get rid of drugs?man, maybe you don't know, when I was 8 years old, my dad started giving me some illegal drugs to eat, crazy bastard, and then I grew up smoking marijuana at the age of 10, 14, 18, and then heroin, and then heroin...... Oh!" A look of utter distress flashed across his face, and he asked softly, "Can I get rid of them?"

"I'm very strange that you can still celebrate your 36th birthday, and you haven't died?" Wang Yang closed the book in his hand, looked at Donnie who was sitting up over there, and sincerely persuaded: "Robert, it's time to end the bad life and let everyone see a new Robert John Downey.jr." ”

Donnie was silent for a long time, then suddenly shook his head and smiled: "Who cares?" Wang Yang shrugged his shoulders, who cares? He didn't think about it, he didn't want to say: "First of all, this is for yourself! Second, I have to say that no one really cares about the life or death of a scumbag who has been taught and broken his heart, and it is you who let those who care about you gradually leave you, but they don't really give up on you, you cheer up, let people see hope, and they will come back!" Now is the right time, in fact there is no wrong start time, the sooner the better, right now!"

Wang Yang knew that Donnie would successfully quit drugs, but he didn't know when he quit, but it meant that he could have that determination and belief, didn't it? Maybe he would quit from now on, but Donnie needed the care and care of others. He now knows very well what it means to be lonely and "abandoned", and that feeling is really uncomfortable. After thinking for a while, he patted the "Kafka Collected Works" in his hand and smiled: "If you get rid of drugs, then New Robert, I invite you to play the leading role in my next film." ”

"What?" Donnie's face was suddenly full of surprise, and he said with confusion and amusement: "You said that I should play the leading role of your movie?, let a person who can't live without drugs come?" Wang Yang shook his head and smiled: "No, I invited New Robert, not you scumbag." ”

New Robert, New Robert...... Donnie looked at that young, sincere face, and his heart suddenly tightened, that guy was only 21 years old! What about when he was 21 years old? so nonsense, constantly hurting the woman named Sarah Jessica Parker, until she left him forever at the age of 26, and now ten years later, he is 36 years old, he is married and divorced, and has an 8-year-old son, why can he be so selfish? What has changed in so many years!?

The guy was right, right! It's time! Donnie took a deep breath, spread his hands and smiled, "What movie? You're not going to let me dance, are you?" but I'm good at singing. Or a middle-aged man who is pregnant?" he stopped with a smile and said, "But whatever it is, I'll act." ”

"As long as you're off drugs, as long as you're suitable. Wang Yang smiled and asked himself, "What movie?" He closed his eyes and felt the sadness and loneliness, the dream just now, and the change in mood from meeting Briana to being in prison...... He opened his eyes and said, "I think this will be a movie that is so depressing that it makes people crazy!"

So this is also the reason why he invited New Robert to play, because the actor of this story needs a person who can play the loneliness, depression, and pain after the transformation to the extreme, and he needs an actor at the Oscar for Best Actor!

Emotionally, intellectually, and commercially, Downey is the obvious choice, and of course there is a premise that he will no longer touch drugs.

"Man, that's going to be a big production!" Wang Yang shook the "Kafka Collected Works" in his hand with one hand, covered his mouth with the other, imitated Donnie's tone and tone, and said mysteriously: "That will be a big production!"

Donnie laughed, and suddenly a long-lost excitement arose in his heart, and asked, "How old?" Wang Yang shrugged his shoulders and smiled with a blank expression of no idea, "I don't know, I really don't know." But what I do know is that the idea is going to cost a lot of money, and I know I'm crazy now, really crazy! How big? 100 million, 200 million? Let the dollar die, as big as it needs to be!"

"I understand, that's what I'm talking about going to jail. Donnie looked at the book in his hand and asked curiously: "Kafka, is it Russian, is it German, or is it Chinese?" Wang Yang just smiled and shook his head, and Downey smiled and said, "He knows me, but I don't know him...... Man, do you want to shoot Kafka?"

"Yes. Wang Yang nodded, shook his head again, and said, "It's not Kafka's biography, it's a story he wrote, the story of a man who turned into a beetle." It's called District 9, and it's pretty cool!"
