Chapter 36: Return to Los Angeles
Los Angeles, night.
A small bar near Beverly Hills, with its soft blues-inspired music, makes it a popular choice for those who prefer to enjoy quiet.
The atmosphere here allows them to escape the noise of the day and enjoy the tranquility of being alone.
The beautiful notes emanate from the fragrance of each martini, and it seems to exude the smell of petty bourgeoisie that no one can approach. Obviously, it's a quiet bar with a lot of style, and although it's not crowded, it has a loyal and regular clientele.
In Los Angeles, in Hollywood, in Beverly Hills, such a quiet little bar is unique, loved by those who love it, and annoyed by those who don't.
"Have a Pinot Noir ...... in Santa Barbara"
A tall, thin and gentle man knocked on the elm bar, and greeted the male waiter with a black bow tie who was quietly wiping the crystal wine glass inside, "Raphael, put down the crystal glass in your hand and come to have a drink together, life needs to be enjoyed." β
"Raphael, I think you'd better get her a bottle. Alexander-"
A man with black hair, gold wire glasses, and a bookish smell sat next to the thin and elegant man with a smile, "I've been waiting for you here for a long time, I thought I had to wait until the bar closes......"
"I'm sorry, Jim. You also know that there is a traffic jam around here......" The gentle man named Alexander smiled and hugged his old friend who went there and apologized, and smiled and took a sip of the wine glass in front of him.
Obviously, from his smooth movements, it can be seen that he has studied red wine quite a lot.
"Woo......"
Jim also took a sip, and warmed it in his mouth, quite enjoying.
"Tell me, what's the matter with calling me? I don't think you're going to be so bored as to call me here just to drink......"
"Dingβ"
The mild-mannered Alexander clinked glasses with his friend Jim, and the crisp sound passed between the red wines, which was particularly elegant. It's like the notes played on a harp, and it's particularly fascinating.
The dark red red wine sways in the crystal glass, exuding a charming aroma.
"You know, I went to San Francisco some time ago......" Alexander took a sip of his wine, very pleasant, and a little nonchalant.
"I know, for that big star of Nicolas Cage." Jim, who has the temperament of a professor, shrugged his shoulders and joked with a smile to his old friend, "Seriously, I don't think Nicolas Cage would think about you." β
That's right, he refused. But that's not the point......" Alexander motioned to his old friend to pour a drink, seemingly not surprised by Nicolas Cage's refusal at all, and at the same time did not feel lost, with a very calm attitude.
"I met a very interesting actor who didn't act as well-fashioned as Nicolas Cage, and he looked a little immature. But you know, there's a lot of light flavor in your bones. I love the feeling of him calming down. β
As if afraid that his old friend didn't understand what he meant, Alexander went on to explain, "That's a very malleable actor. Should be a newcomer. I saw a lot of things from him that the current Hollywood stars don't haveβ"
Jim looked at his friend's gestured eyes, shook his head and smiled, and poured him another glass of red wine, "Tell me, what qualities make you so admired?" β
"True."
Alexander took a sip of red wine, swallowed slowly, and spat out a word concisely.
"Oh? Who makes you so highly rated? β
Jim knows his old friend, and for such an evaluation, it is obviously a very high compliment. This is the first time he has heard such praise from his mouth.
In Hollywood, there are not many stars who can be called "real".
"Sean Rodriguez Cross!" Alexander seemed to know that his friend Jim wouldn't know the name, and couldn't help but laugh and tease, "If you remember the man who had an affair with Angelina...... That's right, it's him! β
"Oh Maiga, the ...... who eats soft rice" Jim looked at his old friend in amazement, recalling the hottest entertainment gossip in the newspaper lately, and couldn't help but say, "Are you sure it's that guy?" Or is Pinot Noir so strong that I'm hallucinating? β
"Jim, you have to know the characteristics of the Hollywood paparazzi." Alexander smiled slightly, and the attitude of his old friend did not surprise him. Only when he has really watched Sean's performance know how attractive Sean's special temperament is.
That's a man that's easy to remember at a glance!
If Sean knew that in faraway Los Angeles, he was remembered only because of the scandal with Angelina, and he didn't know how to feel.
But no matter what, Mr. Sean Rodrigueskloss at this time did not know these things, and his good mood was not ruined.
In Boston, Sean naturally can't avoid going to see a game in this sports city. Unfortunately, Sean couldn't watch the Celtics, one of the NBA's oldest teams, play.
No way, July is the NBA offseason.
But it doesn't matter, although this is not a basketball game, it is a time when baseball in the top three sports in the United States is in full swing.
Duke is a die-hard Boston Red Sox fan and calls himself "RedSoxNation."
If you count which baseball team has the most die-hard fans, the Red Sox fans are definitely the craziest, most passionate, and most loyal fans.
The group of three came to Fenway Park, the home of the Red Sox, which is a mecca for baseball fans, just like the Madison Garden in the NBA, there are too many memories for fans.
The atmosphere was very frenetic, and Sean followed Duke next to him to feel what it means to be "Die-hard". Team flags waving everywhere. The entire arena was filled with the continuous Red Sox team song.
In this atmosphere, Sean can sense that fans have high expectations for the Red Sox this season. Although Sean is not a fan of the Red Sox, it does not prevent Sean from watching it with relish.
In one game, in the end, the Red Sox played the usual style of "home strong dragons" and repelled the incoming Arizona Rattlesnakes with a sharp attack.
Watching a baseball game, Sean also visited several famous locations in Boston.
Sean learns about the Boston Tea Party, and this story makes Sean's head go big.
I went to the oldest church in Boston and also went to Faneuil Hall for a visit. I also visited Boston's Chinatown, which is home to the third largest concentration of Chinese Americans.
With Naya, the head snake, explaining on the side, Sean also has a relatively preliminary understanding of the city.
Of course, before leaving, Sean didn't finish a party like "Wolf Friends Night" with Duke as he wished.
This has to be said to be a big regret of Sean's trip to Boston.
As for Smith Girls' School, one of the famous Seven Sisters, Sean didn't even have a chance to go.
Duke said it is the most famous "Bichi Incubation Center" in the United States, and it is also synonymous with sexy schools. It doesn't have to be much worse than that sexy girls' school in Cambridge, England!
However, with Naya, the great detective, to take care of them, Sean and Duke had to behave like elementary school students. The two of them can only turn their grief and anger into food and feast on Boston's food.
Although I didn't see the style of Boston college girls, I didn't see the splendor of Boston's nightlife.
But Sean still has a lot of good feelings for this city that is full of academics, has the contradiction between freedom and authority, and the ancient and the vibrant.
From Logan International Airport, Sean says goodbye to Duke and Naya.
Looking at the two people who are close outside the airport, Sean is happy that his brother has found a home in life.
Well, the destination of life. Sean thinks Duke should have found a home!
Before getting on the plane, Duke tells Sean that a surprise gift will be mailed to him for his birthday. Sean was concerned about this.
God knows if this guy is a surprise or a fright!
Counting the previous birthday gifts, Sean had a headache and found that this guy was a troublemaker.
On his 10th birthday, Duke secretly brought a bottle of good wine, and then the two of them played drunk in the town and ran naked all over the city.
On his 15th birthday, he gave away a ticket to the only nightclub in town and ...... Sean and Duke then meet Duke Sr. and Daddy Pirlo at a stripper's nightclub.
In the ending, Sean and Duke were chased and beaten by two violent dads chasing the town.
On his 20th birthday, he received a lighter from Duke in the army, and the problem was a lighter in the shape of Mickey Mouse. Can you imagine the expressions on the faces of the soldiers around Sean as he took out the gifts?
25th Birthday......
Sean shook his head, it was better to forget about these bad things.
Therefore, Sean clearly declined Duke's gift, but Duke didn't hear it. And also patted his chest and promised to send a surprise to Sean.
Sitting on the plane, Sean found that the flight attendant was still the same fat black woman.
But the attitude is different.
Sean, who came back, had no scars on his face, and his angular face had a little more of the charm of a mature man. It made that flight attendant a world of difference compared to the cold attitude of the last time he took the plane.
I asked Sean if he wanted a drink for 6 trips. And the last time it was just 1 time!
This made Sean couldn't help touching his face, he was really the one who ate with his face.
After a six-hour flight, the Boston-Los Angeles plane stopped smoothly at Ontario International Airport.
Well, there are four airports in Los Angeles, and the plane ticket from Boston to this airport is a little cheaper. It was $15 cheaper than to Los Angeles Airport.
You know, Sean doesn't care about the extra 50 kilometers, but $15 can't. Anyway, there is also an airport bus, which only costs 5 USD.
The $10 saved turned into two packs of 'Spirit of America'!
Excluding expenses, Sean has less than $5,000 in assets. This is the most valuable time in Sean's history.
Well, the most time was when the two crews were paid.
I don't know how long I'm going to live in Los Angeles or what unexpected things I'm going to encounter. So Sean thought that maybe he could be a little more frugal.
Then Sean paid $100 to get the car out of the parking lot.
I have to say that cars are cheap and gasoline is cheap in this part of the United States.
But! Parking is expensive!
Unless you're not afraid of your car being smashed or stolen, you can park on the side of the road and give it a try.
At least in the parking lot, Sean doesn't have to worry about these problems. The parking lot will take care of these issues for you, provided you pay for the parking in full!
For housing problems, Sean still chose the Little Red Horse Hotel.
At least it's familiar, and it's cheap.
Besides, Sean thinks that the three old guys, Old Jack, Old Ham and Old Darwin, are still good.
Therefore, Sean also gave a small gift from Boston to the three old guys.
The three old men saw Sean bring them gifts and dragged Sean to celebrate his return in the deserted bar.
At the very least, Sean felt that this little red horse hotel was very comfortable. The three old men are like friends or family on the farm.
Alternating drinking glasses, laughing and scolding, the three old men and Sean drank and chatted happily in this bar of only four people.
Sean tells the old man that his dream is to be an actor.
The three old men began to tell various stories of their youth. What, Old Jack robbed Old Ham of his first love, and Old Darwin was the most treacherous businessman of the three. Old Ham was a cook and so on......
On this night, Sean was convinced that he was truly back in Los Angeles.
It's not as strange as it used to be, and it's not so cold. There's laughter and laughter, there's friends and beer.
"Salute!!"
In the collision of beer glasses and hops, three old men and a young man drank freely at the Little Red Horse Hotel, and raised a glass to the Little Red Horse Hotel!
Los Angeles, at least one place to be able to bring yourself back.
Tonight, Sean was drunk.
I dreamed of Indiana, I dreamed of old Cross pricking himself with a big beard, I dreamed of my father Pirlo making pasta for himself, I dreamed of a calf, I dreamed of the old dog at home, I dreamed of running wild on horseback.
He's homesick.
PS: Recently, I tried to speed up the writing, and I found it a bit awkward. It seems that Lao Ye's literary and young illness has been committed, and the problem of pretending to be B is coming again in the words of a book friend.
This is a disease to be cured! Don't stop taking medicine......
Thank you for the big evaluation vote, thank you! We are now ranked 16th on the overall list, and when we are on the list, can you let me be coquettish? Ask for votes!
