Chapter 40: The Empress of Star Wars
Flying on ultra-long-haul international flights is always annoying, and the flight from Seoul's Incheon International Airport to Boston's Logan International Airport takes 20 hours with a stopover in Tokyo, and just sitting there can be exhausting. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Even if he bought a ticket for the first cabin, Liang Baoguang couldn't get enough rest on the plane, the seats were uncomfortable, the plane meals were not to taste, and even the blankets had an inexplicable smell of cheap perfume, but these were not big problems, and the most upsetting thing for him was the flight attendants hired by American Airlines. The reason why the word "flight attendants" is not used is not a matter of gender, but because they are almost all "kind-looking" aunts, because the flight attendants' activity space is in the nose section, and they also operate around the first class cabin.
Whenever asked why they don't hire some beautiful young women to work as flight attendants like airlines in other countries, airline executives in the United States give a similar answer: the professionalism of flight attendants and the service they provide has nothing to do with physical appearance. This is a good reason, even good enough to put to shame the members of the Appearance Association who only know how to look at faces, but it is Too young, too simple to believe it, they are just trying to control costs.
Seeing such a group of aunts wearing almost exploding blue uniforms, pushing a small car that was not as wide as their hips passed, it was a normal man who quickly lowered his head, who would endlessly ask for coffee, coke and salt soda, and those who constantly asked for soda, coffee, and green tea on Asian flights were not out of thirst?
After landing, he took a deep breath of cold air, and Liang Baoguang's spirit was immediately lifted, the warmth in the plane was warm, but the air quality inside was really not complimentary. At this time, it was night in Boston, and although the subway had not yet stopped, Liang Baoguang, who had just gotten off the plane, didn't want to feel the dirty air again, so he proudly stopped a taxi at the airport gate and "took me to Rosewood Street in Quincy." ”
"Welcome home, sir. The taxi driver, a middle-aged black man, said after taking the initiative to help Liang Baoguang stuff the salute into the trunk.
"How do you know I'm going home, can't I be a tourist?" Liang Baoguang raised his eyebrows.
"Because there is flight information on the suitcase and drayage sticker, and the Ich on it shows that you have just come from South Korea, and a tourist will not take a taxi to Rosetree Street as soon as you get off the airport, and the only thing that can attract outsiders there is Boss Xie's Burger King, so ...... Welcome home, sir. The black brother explained.
Liang Baoguang pushed the decorative flat light eyes on the bridge of his nose, and there seemed to be a white light flashing on the mirror in the darkness, "You are a former police officer who used to work for the NYPD, and a year ago was forced to suspend his job because of improper law enforcement in an operation against an organization in Hell's Kitchen, because your skin color was already excluded in the police department, and you offended those guys after losing your public position and felt dangerous, so you came to Boston to work as a taxi driver, am I right?"
"Oh my God, how do you know?" The black brother was frightened, he deduced that Liang Baoguang was not a tourist, it was very simple, the hauling sticker on the suitcase was so obvious, he could know it at a glance, but he didn't know how the information came out of the other party's mouth.
"It's very simple, you have a cup of coffee on the seat of your cup, and the average taxi driver doesn't usually drink coffee in the car for fear of getting dirty, and the scanning gaze when you look at people is also a habit of police officers, and I can tell by your New York accent that you have just arrived in Boston, and the interior of this car is very new. If you think an NYPD officer comes to Boston to drive a taxi, you're either going undercover or you're fired from the police. Liang Baoguang had a strong impulse, and he really wanted to add a sentence at the end, "My name is Edogawa Conan, and I am a detective", without such a sentence, it is as if the beep is not complete, but he said such a large set of nonsense, the reason why he knows that the other party is a former police officer is not his own meticulous observation, but he saw the family photo placed in front of him, and the brother inside is wearing a NYPD uniform.
The black brother, who was shocked by Liang Baoguang's powerful reasoning ability, seemed to be on guard, turned on the Rapper mode without warning, turned on the radio and used the tune of the songs in the radio music program, with a very performative expression and a sense of rhythm in racial talent, "Yo yo yo, checkitout, the villain lives on the edge of New York, has a house and a field at home, and life is boundless, who knows that Zhao Bohu is arrogant and ruthless, colluding with the government and lawless......"
It took more than an hour to drive from Luogan Airport to Quincy District, and Liang Baoguang was already stuck in that rhythm when he got off the car, and his mind was full of yo yo yo, although he gave an extra ten dollars in tips when he got off the car, but after the car drove away, he hated to leave a sentence in that direction: "Sooner or later, you will all lose your jobs." ”
After a good night's sleep, Liang Baoguang went to school with the materials, and he was going to take a leave of absence. Suspension of study is too common at Harvard, many successful people have similar experiences, and even dropped out of Harvard University, among which the most common person who is taken out to talk about things is probably Bill Gates, the world's richest man who dropped out of college in his third year. The formalities went smoothly, and Professor Chance Jean Luke was very close to John Redding, and he was also very optimistic about Liang Baoguang's future, "It's a good thing for you to be away from school for a while, but I still hope that you can come back as soon as possible to complete your studies, and we all have high expectations for you." ”
Of course, the expectations are high, and there is a mother who is the chief financial officer of a large energy company with a market value of 50 billion US dollars, and Liang Baoguang herself has high expectations for herself. In fact, the so-called famous schools are almost the same, and the quality of teaching is higher than that of ordinary schools, but what really plays a decisive role in the students' career stage is the network of contacts woven in the school.
Liang Baoguang, who didn't have to go to class, didn't suddenly feel empty, lonely and cold, and he didn't have a whim to try strange things, he grabbed a laptop and went to his bubble tea shop, where he was ready to complete the newly conceived script. On Valentine's Day, Jessica had promised Jessica to make a movie for her, Liang Baoguang would not break his promise and was not ready to drag it out for a few years, he was ready to come up with something as quickly as possible.
For several days, Liang Baoguang sat in the bubble tea shop early in the morning and typed, and would only go back when it closed at night. Of course, it is also possible to write a script at home, but he has been staying at home for a long time, and he is worried that it will affect his mood for a long time, so he chose a more popular bubble tea shop as a workshop.
Writing the script by yourself is not because being a director is too easy, and there is nothing to do for yourself to increase the difficulty, but in the final analysis, it is because of financial constraints. Before "This Man is from Earth" was because no one cared about the subject matter, Liang Baoguang started at a low price is equivalent to buying unsalable goods, and a big screenwriter who can really be called in Hollywood is also a million-dollar level if he throws a script out casually. Don't look at the fact that he has a lot of money in his hands now, but he knows very well in his heart that as soon as the movie starts, his account will be like a reservoir with a dam opened, and it will be dry in a few days.
"Ding!" the glass door of the bubble tea shop was pushed open, and the sound of the bell on the edge of the door was crisp.
There are always clerks in the bubble tea shop, and even if the customers come, it has nothing to do with the boss, so Liang Baoguang has been immersed in the world he has woved, completely unconcerned about the surrounding situation, until a woman in a long black trench coat sits opposite him, and he glances up.
There are still many vacant seats in the store, but this woman wants to sit at the table in front of her, Liang Baoguang couldn't help but shake his head slightly, as a well-known little prince of entertainment on Kennedy Avenue in Cambridge, he has endured too much wit and handsomeness that he shouldn't have at his age, and it is normal for one or two fans to pop up around him from time to time. In the two campuses north and south of the Charles River, there has always been no shortage of girls pursuing Liang Baoguang, so it is by no means that he is narcissistic, but after the woman in front of him took off his sunglasses, he couldn't help but scratch his chin in embarrassment, and people probably didn't know him.
Natalie Portman sat down here because of the location near the window, so she could get the warm sun, and after taking off her sunglasses and seeing Liang Baoguang in front of her, she couldn't help but squint her eyes, always feeling as if she had seen this person somewhere, and turned her head to see the photo hanging on the wall before she exclaimed, "You are Paul Leon?"
"It's Paul Leung. "What is the speed of light slap in the face, this is it, at first I thought that people were fan girls, and when I took off my sunglasses, I found out that they were big stars in Hollywood; ”
"I've heard of you, and you came here to drink milk tea from a friend who introduced you, and she said that the milk tea here is particularly delicious. Natalie Portman has always followed the dynamics of her alma mater, and she has heard of several influential figures in the school, and the reason why she is particularly concerned about Liang Baoguang is very simple, because he is handsome.
"I've admired you for a long time, our Harvard Star Wars Empress. Liang Baoguang watched his waiter bring a cup of milk tea and put it on the table on Natalie Portman's chest, and his thoughts suddenly drifted away, green tea and milk really go well.
When it comes to in Hollywood, with Swift, Kardashian, Stewart and other big names in the way, Natalie Portman is definitely not in the name, but after adding the term "green tea", she can squeeze into the top three all of a sudden, only below Anne Hathaway. Of course, these are all rumors, how can Liang Baoguang know the so-called truth before he has officially entered the entertainment industry, most of the things he hears are rumors, and what a person's true appearance is can only be clear after handing it over.
"It was more than 10 years ago. Natalie Portman smiled modestly, as if to say that the false names were clouds to her.
