Chapter 131: Jeans

"Can we begin?" Although she was annoyed that Lin Mingyang didn't say hello when she came back, Jinni still had a professional smile on her face.

Lin Mingyang muttered in his heart: "You said it started, can I still pause?" ”

But he just complained in his heart, and after he was done, he still smiled hard, debts always have to be repaid.

"Harvard Crimson" is not a Hollywood business newspaper after all, and there is no need to entertain readers with those unwritten lace news, so the interview outline given by Ginny still revolves around the college open classes that were popular on the Internet during this time. Because it was Lin Mingyang who first applied to Harvard, and then the idea was expanded by Rhett and Mark Zuckerberg to the entire Ivy League through the Internet.

"Actually, I just wanted to be able to take care of my studies while filming, and then I thought of this somewhat lazy approach."

"Your roommate copied the idea on Facebook, and since the video of the Harvard Open Class went online, the school's absenteeism rate has increased by two percentage points, how do you feel about that?" Ginny's question was still sharp.

Lin Mingyang's answer was very targeted: "It is also about imparting knowledge, as long as those who miss classes watch the video on the Internet, I think the purpose of education has been achieved." Of course, I'm not encouraging people to skip classes, but if the class itself doesn't attract students, then the professor should also seriously reflect on his or her own teaching methods. There are many reasons for absenteeism, and it is unscientific to directly link the emergence of online open classes with the increase in absenteeism. ”

…… The interview went smoothly at first, but was interrupted by a sudden phone call from Lin Mingyang.

The call was from Blake Lively, who had arrived in Boston to watch tonight's beta screening, and was now at the airport. Blake Lively was originally going to come by taxi by himself, but Lin Mingyang finally found an excuse to end the interview, he asked Blake Lively to wait at the airport and drove over to pick her up.

Ginny only asked half of the question, of course she was not happy, in order to appease the beautiful reporter, Lin Mingyang took out the last remaining movie ticket and coaxed her to say that everyone would go to the movies together in the evening.

Lin Mingyang said that the four of them made an appointment to go together in the evening, but Ginny understood this "everyone" as only her and Lin Mingyang, and she was stunned by this sudden happiness. The interview was immediately thrown aside, and Ginny took the movie ticket a little shyly, but in her heart she began to look forward to the "wonderful date" in the evening.

Lin Mingyang just wanted to get out, and he didn't have time to explain to her at all, he glanced at Billy Olsen who was hiding in the bathroom, and the other party nodded at him knowingly. Before Ginny came back to his senses, Lin Mingyang just slipped away, and when he walked downstairs, he suddenly remembered that he didn't seem to have a car here. In desperation, he had to borrow Red's second-hand dilapidated off-road vehicle.

The off-road vehicle that Rhett bought from the second-hand market has mottled marks on the shell, and it looks bad. Blake Lively, on the other hand, is dressed up beautifully today, wearing a tight white low-cut T-shirt on top, a blue and white striped women's casual suit on top, and Bermuda shorts on the bottom. Especially standing next to the dilapidated off-road vehicle driven by Lin Mingyang, in addition to the stark contrast, there is also a bit of beauty and the beast.

As soon as she got in the car, Blake gave her own honey kiss, Lin Mingyang rubbed her charming blonde hair, and reluctantly took her hand away when she started the car. Along the way, Blake Lively was excitedly telling Lin Mingyang about his experience during this time.

"The neighbors around me knew that I was on the shoot of the movie "Acceptance Letter", and God knows that the movie hasn't been released yet, I was just Justin Lang and a couple of them went to a couple of promotional events together, and then everybody knew it, and walking in the community, they not only knew that I was a character in "Admission Letter", but they even knew my name, from teenage girls to housewives, and they saw that my reactions were exaggerated, and it made me feel crazy."

The direction of this second-hand off-road vehicle was a little shaky, and Lin Mingyang's hands had to firmly hold the steering wheel: "The crazier is still behind, and slowly there will be reporters quietly following you when you go to the street; Your every move will attract people's attention; Walking down the street, all of a sudden, someone will come up to you and ask for an autograph. You can also go to all kinds of parties, wear dresses of designer brands, wear jewelry worth tens of millions, and walk around among the big names! Everywhere I went, I was surrounded by people, and at the end of a busy day, I dragged my tired body home. The life of a star is very glamorous, but there are a lot of unknown hardships behind it, and when you are really famous, you will find that you may not like this kind of life? ”

"yes, even though I'm still not sure how amazing the job of being an actor is, everybody told me I couldn't go back to high school, I had to keep acting in movies, and if I went back to school my hard work would be in vain, so I decided. I'm happy with my life now. Blake Lively is obviously still in the infinite longing for the life of a star, and she is even a little unconfident, she can really become a big star?

A girl who will be popular all over Hollywood in the future, but now lacks confidence in her fame, such a question from Blake Lively's mouth makes Lin Mingyang feel a little "absurd".

He smiled, "How to say it, I think you are very star-like now, especially your dressing, Hollywood estimates that few female stars can wear clothes better than you." ”

Blake Lively's lips and eyes turned into a beautiful crescent moon when he laughed, "Thanks to my mom, she used to make our clothes herself and took us to Seongin clothing stores since we were kids." We'll pick the style we like, and she'll change it to the right size for us. ”

"How is my 'father' doing?" Lin Mingyang asked suddenly.

"You mean my brother-in-law?" Blake Lively playfully put a finger on his lips, "He's fine now, we'll be together on Halloween, and we'll talk about you at that time, I heard that "Youth Musical" is going to shoot a third episode?" ”

"Filming will start after the New Year, and it is estimated that it will be released in the summer vacation next year!"

"Not long ago, I also took on a new film, although I played it with three other girls, but I am very satisfied to get such a role!" Every girl has her own vanity, and Blake Lively is no exception, she "accidentally" leaked her little secret in front of Lin Mingyang, and the film she participated in is still in the preparatory stage, and there has been no rumor from the outside world.

Although he already knew it, Lin Mingyang deliberately pretended to be very curious and asked, "What movie?" ”

"It's a very famous novel, but you shouldn't have read it, because it's a novel that girls like to read. On the eve of their summer journey, four close friends of the same sisters find a magical pair of jeans in a thrift store: they fit everyone's body shape, no matter how tall, short, fat or thin. The sisters decided to use the magical jeans as a bond after a summer parting, and for the next month, each wore it for a week and then mailed it to the next person to see what it could bring to everyone. ”

"I shouldn't have misremembered the name of this novel "Summer of Jeans", right?"

Blake Lively covered his mouth in surprise with an incredulous expression on his face: "You really read that novel, I thought only girls liked to read it... Finding the perfect pair of jeans is every woman's dream. ”

Mr. Lin didn't have a special denim complex, and he only knew about the novel because it was able to make it to the New York Times bestseller list a year after its publication, and it caused a cultural craze at the time. In Lin Mingyang's memory, this novel was later adapted into a movie, and if he remembers correctly, it should be the one that Blake Lively is now acting in.

Blake Lively excitedly told Lin Mingyang that in order to let the four actresses who have never met show the depth and tacit understanding of their long-term friendship on the big screen, director Capis invited them to join a special shopping trip before the film started.

He gave each of them $75 to spend an afternoon at a thrift store and asked them to work together to find an outfit for themselves and each other for the characters in the film. As a result, the four of them really began to influence each other, and they were able to help each other like the inseparable protagonists in the film.

Lin Mingyang told Blake Lively more exciting news based on his own experience, inferring from the content of "Summer of Jeans" that the crew should go to many places to film, and for Blake Lively, the filming of this film may become a rare tour.

The engine sound of Rhett's second-hand car will be very loud when he slams on the accelerator, Lin Mingyang didn't care about this when he came, but when he went back, there was a Blake Lively in the car, and he could only slow down and try to quiet the old engine. At first, he misses his Bugatti Victory, but later discovers that being slow has the benefit of being slow, at least he can have a lot of time to chat with Blake Lively.

He and Blake Lively walked around the Boston metropolitan area and had dinner before meeting up with Billy Olson and the others at the agreed location. Originally, there were two extra light bulbs out of thin air, and Ginny had some complaints in her heart, and when she saw that Lin Mingyang was still followed by a tall blonde girl when she came, her pretty face was immediately covered with haze.

After Lin Mingyang introduced the two parties, Ginny's face improved a little, and since Blake Lively is the heroine of the film, it can be explained by Lin Mingyang's side at this time. But she always felt that Lin Mingyang and Blake Lively were a little too close, and she couldn't help but be suspicious, but she finally shook her head, preferring to believe that she was too sensitive.

At the door of the cinema, Lin Mingyang also met Justin Lang and Columbus Sauter, and there was a group of reporters around the door. In the end, the security personnel of the theater stopped the reporters, and everyone was able to escape. When taking pictures, Blake Lively affectionately grabbed Lin Mingyang's arm, which made Ginny, who was standing next to her, pull down her pretty face immediately.

The venue for the test screening was a small screening hall, and Lin Mingyang's position was in the first row, and when they entered, there were already many people sitting in the back row. The people who came were all senior Hollywood film critics, whose names often appeared in newspapers, and were no strangers to Lin Mingyang. But instead of sitting here, Lin Mingyang didn't know anyone.

Lin Mingyang didn't know them, but these people knew Lin Mingyang. When Lin Mingyang was about to sit down, the people behind him all pointed their eyes at him, making him smile very embarrassed. I couldn't call people's names, so I could only nod and say hello.

Out of special care for the director, Lin Mingyang's seat was arranged in the middle, and the people who came with him had a tacit understanding, Justin Lang and his party sat on Lin Mingyang's left, and Billy Olson sat on Lin Mingyang's right. Blake Lively naturally occupied the position on Lin Mingyang's left hand, and the position on his right hand originally wanted Billy Olsen to sit, but after being glared at by Ginny, he consciously stepped aside.

Lin Mingyang and the others entered the venue in time, and as soon as they sat down, the ceiling lights in the screening hall were all extinguished. Blake Lively wrung her hands nervously, closed her eyes and prayed silently, after all, this was her first appearance as a heroine, although she had seen the negatives a long time ago, but these veteran filmmakers sitting in the back still put a lot of pressure on her, she wanted her performance to be recognized by them, but she was afraid of being ridiculed for nothing.

In the dark, Lin Mingyang gently patted Blake Lively's hand, which made her feel reassured, but this subtle move was seen by Ginny on the side, and she was slightly jealous in her heart.

Ginny tried to focus her attention on the light curtain, but the more she did that, the more easily she became distracted. When the first laugh of the film appeared, Green-Nat, who was sitting next to him, couldn't help but let out an exaggerated laugh. But the laughter didn't last long, and it stopped abruptly as if he had been choked by the neck, because everyone around him was staring at him with extremely strange eyes.

was so stirred up by Glynn Nut, Ginny realized that she had just been seriously distracted, although her eyes were staring at the big screen, the corner of her eyes was always paying attention to whether there was a more intimate move between Lin Mingyang and Blake Lively, and she didn't pay attention to what happened in the movie.
