Section 72: Change
Standing in front of the mirror in his cramped cabin, Duane looked in front of the mirror, put on his sunglasses, put on his cap, and pulled the zipper of his jacket to his head, covering his chin, and then stared at himself in the mirror for a long time.
"If you go out like this, the whole street will have to stare at you. ”
The door of his hut was not closed, Song Zhen passed by his door, and when he saw his appearance, he sneered, "It's a complete neurosis." ”
It's also ha, Du An listened to Song Zhen's words, looked at himself in the mirror, and felt that it was true: Except for neuropathy, what normal person would wear a jacket and hat in the high temperature of more than 30 degrees and close to 40 degrees during the day in Nanyang in July? Not to mention anything else, just for a while, he was hot and sweaty from his vest.
He took off his jacket neatly, threw it on the bed, took off his hat again, wiped the sweat on his forehead with the back of his hand, and looked at his current self in the mirror.
Five-point pants, yellow short sleeves, big sunglasses, looks much more normal. And the big sunglasses he bought on purpose were really big, covering half of his face, and if it weren't for someone he was familiar with, he wouldn't recognize him at first glance.
Well, that's it.
Duane nodded in satisfaction to himself in the mirror and prepared to go out.
He couldn't help it.
If it were the usual, he would have gone out casually, and he hadn't done anything about going to the alley to buy soy sauce in a slipper and big pants, but not now.
The national large-scale screening of "Pretty Woman" has come to its third week.
In the second week of the nationwide screening of "Pretty Woman" and the first week after the premiere weekend of "Kung Fu", "Kung Fu" won with 6. The weekly box office of 200 million reached the top domineeringly, and "Pretty Woman" was 2. 300 million ranked second.
There is nothing to say about "Kung Fu" reaching the top, 6 in a single week. 200 million is not much to say, and even for the crew of "Kung Fu", this box office figure is still low - according to the current trend, it is difficult for "Kung Fu" to break the record of "Hero" - and "Pretty Woman" continues to collect 2. 300 million weekly box office, this is worth saying.
With three premiere weekends, a week of small-scale releases, and two weeks of large-scale releases, "Pretty Woman" has received a total of 6 in the past 24 days. 300 million at the box office. According to the normal one-month screening time of a movie, "Pretty Woman" still has 6 days to survive in the market, which is almost a week - according to the downward trend on Monday this week, "Pretty Woman" is likely to collect about 100 million box office again in the last week, then the total box office of "Pretty Woman" as of the next stall will be fixed at 7. 300 million.
As a total domestic box office 7. The director and actor of the 300 million blockbuster film, Duane is now popular again, even more popular than when he was in "Saw Horror" - at that time he was only a director and supporting actor, and now he is a director and protagonist. The media saw the right time to fry cold rice and hot rice together, which added another seven or eight minutes to the fire.
For example, when he was idle at home yesterday, he went to the vegetable market for Aunt Shen to buy vegetables, and it took him two hours to come back -- taking photos with fans who recognized him, signing autographs, and answering all kinds of strange questions, such as "Are you here to buy vegetables?" "What will I eat if I don't buy vegetables?"
Du An's enthusiasm was a little overwhelming, and at the same time, he was quite lamented by the wide audience of "Pretty Woman": these aunts who sell vegetables and housewives who come to buy vegetables all watch it, which is not difficult to explain where the high box office of "Pretty Woman" came from.
And Duane, who realized that he was different from the past, also bought sunglasses and jackets and other things to arm himself for the first time, but now it seems that only sunglasses can be used in this weather.
"You're going to eat soon, are you still going out?"
Shen Huifang heard footsteps in the kitchen, probed out to take a look, and shouted when she saw Du An's dress.
"When I went out, I ate outside. ”
Duane went to the door and opened the door and went out.
The alleys are full of old people who never go to the cinema, so you don't have to worry about being recognized. Out of the alley, to Dongwu South Road, there are many young people coming and going, this is the moment of test.
Du Ane was scared but calm, and walked steadily for more than ten meters, and then he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart: the big sunglasses were very useful, and no one recognized him.
It was also at this time that he finally really relaxed, walked slowly, and enjoyed this rare time.
A while ago, he was busy with "Pretty Woman", and he hasn't walked the streets of Nanyang so leisurely for a long time.
Dongwu South Road is not wide, barely a two-lane road, and a driver who drives on the opposite side of a bus should drive carefully. About 10 meters from the side of the road, a French plane tree is planted, and it is in full bloom in summer, and even the white bark of the tree is green and pleasing to the eye. The orange glow of the evening sun spread down and covered the entire street, as if wearing a yellow coat, so yellow that the skin on the faces of oncoming passers-by was dyed yellow.
The sidewalks on both sides of the road are high, paved with dark red floor tiles, the sidewalks are a shop, the fan shop, the fast food restaurant, the lady's dumplings, Shaxian snacks, there are everything, as well as barber shops, pharmacies, leather shoe shops, Internet cafes are mixed in, the most are clothing stores: they are all the kind of unknown brands produced by small factories in Jiangsu and Zhejiang townships, and there are many horns at the door, and the horns of this one shouted "The last three days, the clearance sale, each piece is thirty", and the one shouted "Loss, loss to my heartache, drop down, drop to your heart!"
Compared with Hengdian, this place is simply the feeling of the junction of urban and rural areas, but Duane feels that such a scene makes him feel more intimate.
A taxi approached, with a green light on, and Duane was quick to catch up, waved his hand, stopped the car, and got in.
He is about to become a billionaire, and he has begun to consciously learn to spend money, and he can no longer be like before - just like yesterday, he deliberately went out to eat in a small restaurant outside at noon, and he ordered four meat dishes, two vegetarian dishes and a soup by himself, and adapted to the life of a billionaire in advance in the strange eyes of others who looked at him like a neuropath.
As the car drove away, Duane leaned against the window, looking out the window, his thoughts fluttering.
When I have money, the first thing I do is to go back to my hometown to buy my ancestral house again, and then buy a house, and buy a lot of houses -- two sets in Lishui County, two sets in Nanyang, and my sister's family likes to live wherever they want, and those who can't live in it will be left empty.
Don't ask why, rich and capricious.
You have to buy a car, my sister and brother-in-law and myself have to learn to drive, and when you get a driver's license, you will buy a car, don't look at it below the 500,000 level, you can buy expensive if you want to buy it, and start with four circles.
Du An's thoughts about his own thoughts, the more he thought about it, the more beautiful this beautiful life became, the corners of his mouth were unconsciously hooked, and from the rearview mirror, he was a stunned person who was smirking.
"It's here. ”
The driver spoke, finally bringing him back to his senses.
Pulling out the money and paying the fare, Duane got out of the car.
In front of it is an old community, there are no doormen, the door is open, in and out at will, and there is an old grandmother who is holding her little grandson's hand and slowly sneaking out from inside.
Duane pulled out his phone, took out the text message and read it again, then walked inside.
In the community, he inquired as he walked, and finally found the address on the text message.
The unit door is a large green iron door, and the electronic panel that marks the floor button on the top is gone, leaving only an empty groove, and two wires sticking out of the edge of the groove, wrapped in black tape on the head.
He sent a text message on his phone, and after a while, there was a click, and the door of the unit opened.
I opened the door and walked in, went up to the 6th floor, looked left and right, and stood still in front of Gate 601.
That's the destination of his trip today.
