Chapter 5: A Coincidental Collision
Chapter 5: A Coincidental Collision
"Ladies and gentlemen, please look here." Julia shouted in her high-decibel voice, which immediately attracted everyone's attention, and the people present were basically Hollywood filmmakers, and they basically knew Julia, a popular actress, and knew that she occasionally made some jokes, so everyone was looking forward to her wonderful performance: "I saw an interesting scene at the door just now, this young man was about to come in, and the waiter stopped him and asked him to put on a suit and come back, but this young man said, hey, come to the bar to relax, who is sick and wears a suit and dress?" β
"As soon as I heard this, and looked at my own clothes, I felt like a sick person, even going out to relax, having to be dressed up and put on a troublesome evening dress, damn it, I hated all this. So what do you think, friends? Julia's words made people look at each other, as public figures, they can't go in and out of public places at will like ordinary people, let alone drill into bars when they see them, otherwise the media can create countless scandals for them. Unlike other places, Hollywood bars are run by a powerful person, and even if a paparazzi sneaks in, they will break their legs, so it has become a place for filmmakers to relax.
But I don't know when it started, all the people who come here are suits and dresses, since everyone else is like this, are you embarrassed to wear casual clothes? Yes, no one likes to wear a suit and dress at such a time, but no one dares not to wear a suit and dress, because this is very willing to be ridiculed, especially in the entertainment industry, which is a dead face-loving circle, no one wants to be the laughing stock of others.
Liang Xiaolong suddenly had a creepy feeling, this group of people looked at him with complicated eyes, appreciation, contempt, and jealousyγγγ maybe Liang Xiaolong should be glad that his mental power can't kill people, otherwise so much mental power concentrated on him will definitely make him full of holes: "Dad is right, women are cautious, I shouldn't offend women." β
"Friends, I think we should be pretty ourselves, and change into relaxed casual clothes." Julia shrugged her shoulders and looked resolute: "I'll be back tomorrow by this time, but I'll definitely put on casual clothes." β
"Sister Big Mouth, it looks like you're ready to be the leader?" Liang Xiaolong admired this woman a little, not everyone has the courage to be a leader, because there is also a saying that the gun shoots the first bird: "Let's drink." The two chose to sit directly at the bar, and Liang Xiaolong shouted, "Bring me a beer, a big one." β
"You should choose brandy." Julia explains: "Men who drink baijiu are more attractive. β
"But my favorite thing is beer." Liang Xiaolong smiled faintly: "I miss white rice and Chinese food very much, but I haven't found a Chinese restaurant for a long time, so I thought, American beer gives Chinese beer a taste, maybe I can drink a little bit of home." β
"Interesting statement." Julia felt more and more that it was an interesting little boy: "But I still admire men who drink liquor more." β
"A good man doesn't treat his stomach badly." Liang Xiaolong raised his glass and took a sip: "Actually, the man who drinks the cow is also very attractive." β
"Now I find out, but you're a boy at best, and boys like you should stay in school instead of partying at bars." Julia laughed, "Boy, why are you back here?" You know, kids your age don't usually show up here. β
"Actually, I just want to drink beer." Liang Xiaolong didn't plan to talk about the script, because the two people met and sat together, it was a kind of fate, and if Julia's identity was used to sell his script, it would be too utilitarian. Although the entertainment industry is a utilitarian circle, Liang Xiaolong does not want to follow the crowd, and he believes that Julia will not like others to kill her leisure time with scripts.
Gossip has always been Liang Xiaolong's forte, and Julia is also very talkative, and they have fun pulling each other's skins. But in the end, the two still talked about movies, after all, Julia is a famous movie star, and the focus of life is basically on this part, and Liang Xiaolong, as a senior movie fan, is ready to develop in the film industry, so he naturally pays more attention to this aspect.
"Sister Big Mouth, what's new this year?" Although Bruce Leung has seen countless movies, it does not mean that he has seen all the movies, and he knows Juilliard's later works very well, but his early works are not very clear. Liang Xiaolong remembers that the first movie that Juilliard impressed him was "Never Compromise" in 2000, in which Julia played a single lawyer mother who was married twice and gave birth to three children in a row.
"No, I'm about to become box office poison now." Speaking of which, Julia is a little frustrated, Hollywood is a realistic Vanity Fair, and her "Gannet Assassination" in 93 was a box office hit, which made her worth a lot. But 94's "I Love Trouble" was not popular and not a hit, she immediately became a box office poison, and now it's April, and no company dares to ask her to make a film.
"It's normal to have ups and downs." Liang Xiaolong smiled: "If every film you are popular and a hit, others will definitely think, ah, why is this woman like this?" All the good films let her take possession, like a big mountain in front of us, does this still let us live? Julia was amused: "It's so fun to talk to you, so should I take on the bad face movie again?" β
It's really pleasant to chat with beautiful women, but Liang Xiaolong has to continue to sell the script tomorrow, so he got up and said goodbye: "It's almost nine o'clock, I should go back to school, and I will see you again when I have a chance." β
Seeing Liang Xiaolong leave, Julia was obviously a little disappointed, she had just divorced this year, suffered another failure in her career, and her personal feelings seemed a little low. It's rare to meet someone to talk to, but after all, it's just a one-sided friend, and Liang Xiaolong is too young, only twenty years old, and she is six years older than him.
Liang Xiaolong didn't think about it that much, for him it was just a coincidental encounter, and how to sell the script tomorrow was his biggest problem. Early the next morning, Liang Xiaolong began to sell the script again, but this blind approach was obviously difficult to achieve, no, he came out in disgrace without even seeing each other: "Damn, maybe I should go to the parking lot and wait for these producers to show up, and then hijack them and force them to read the script." Of course, Liang Xiaolong is just thinking about it, if he really wants to do that, he will probably be able to eat free prison meals tomorrow: "Continue to look for the next one, I don't believe that I will always carry this back." β
Horn! Glancing out of the corner of his eye, Liang Xiaolong suddenly saw a silver Porsche rushing over at a very fast speed: "Damn, it's a Porsche again, if only it were a time shuttle." β
"Xiaolong, why are you here?" Porsche stopped in front of Liang Xiaolong, a head poked out of the car, wearing a sun hat and big sunglasses, Liang Xiaolong couldn't help laughing: "Sister Big Mouth, you are cool enough in this dress." Julia glanced at Liang Xiaolong: "You don't know your identity, if you don't disguise, you can run into the paparazzi when you walk there, and then talk about it when you get in the car." β
"Well, you can save money on taxis." As soon as Liang Xiaolong got into the car, Julia stepped on the accelerator: "Aren't you a student?" Why is it that the world is running around and there is no need to go to class? Liang Xiaolong snorted: "It's almost what year I've been in the United States, and I haven't done a good job, but I'm in a good mood recently, so I'll walk around and see the flowers and wine in Hollywood." Julia gave him a blank look: "I'm depressed and still in a good mood?" Something didn't go your way, right? And I've been watching you come out of the film company all the time, what are you doing there?? You don't really want to develop in the entertainment industry, do you? β
"No, I'm chasing a girl, but she doesn't bird me." Liang Xiaolong joked: "I can only blame my mother, who made me not handsome enough." Julia pointed to his official bag, "You just, I saw you holding it last night, that's the source of your trouble, right?" β
"Small pockets, lots of things, it's convenient to get a bag, aren't you women like this?" Liang Xiaolong wanted to fool the past, but Julia was not fooled at all, and glared at him very domineeringly: "If you don't want me to grab your bag, and then there is a car accident, just continue to pull." β
"Okay, I'll be honest." Liang Xiaolong is now extremely afraid of the word car accident, who knows if he will hit the primitive society again, not to mention the revisit of old films, eating is a problem: "I'm selling the script, but you know, it's too difficult for newcomers to enter the industry, and they can't even see the producer." β
"You stupid, why didn't you tell me yesterday?" Julia was a little angry that Liang Xiaolong didn't treat her as a friend, glared at Liang Xiaolong hatefully, stepped on the accelerator, and the Porsche sped away, and quickly stopped at a Chinese restaurant: "Please eat Chinese food, and I will read your script later." β
"Furong Sichuan Restaurant." Seeing this name, Liang Xiaolong was a little chilled, if the waiters inside were the same as Sister Furong, would they still be able to eat? However, it turns out that Liang Xiaolong's worries are unnecessary, the waiters inside are very attractive, and the decoration of a standard Chinese restaurant inside makes Liang Xiaolong very friendly. As soon as she sat down, Julia snatched Liang Xiaolong's bag and took out the script herself: ""Tomb Robbery" and "The Sun Like Me" are very good names, if the content in them can be worthy of these two names, it will definitely be a big hit." You call the dish first, and I'll read the script. β
The main plot of "The Sun Is Like Me" is to depict a cynical young Will, through the emotional interaction with the psychiatrist Shane, gradually self-revealing the psychological process of knowledge inquiry, interpersonal interaction, love exploration, life beliefs, and family injuries, to get out of the shadow of childhood abuse, and try to establish intimate and trusting relationships with others. This character-led film focuses on the self-disclosure and reconstruction process of the protagonist Will's trauma, and delicately carries out a war of spiritual wrestling.
"Thank God, I almost missed such a wonderful script." Julia was very satisfied with the script, but she was very dissatisfied with Liang Xiaolong: "You should have shown it to me yesterday, but you didn't, so I punished you, and today you have a treat." β
ps: For Julia, collect it, give a recommendation ticket, thank you for the bones.
