Chapter 116: Los Angeles!
On the plane, Su Li also occasionally glanced at the sprawling city of Los Angeles.
There is a 16-hour time difference between Los Angeles and the capital, and when Su Li came here, the morning light was overflowing, the newborn sun emitted a soft glow in the sky, and the second largest city in the United States was located on the shore of the Pacific Ocean, and the city of angels exuded a gorgeous beauty in the early morning light.
Walking out directly along the hatch of the plane, the sight outside the window extends to the distant horizon, cutting the lines of light and darkness at this moment hazy, and the distant horizon is still the city as if there will be no boundary.
Stepping off the plane, so far away, Su Li naturally followed an assistant by his side, and the bodyguard didn't ask for it, so far Su Li has not exchanged some skills to make his fighting ability stronger, he may not have much self-defense ability in the face of ordinary murder, but he shouldn't be in any danger when he comes to the United States, so the bodyguard money can be saved.
Coming to a foreign country really makes people feel a little uncomfortable, and the surroundings are full of foreign dialects, but fortunately, Su Li's efforts in the past few days have not been in vain, and he quickly heard some of the conversations of the people around him clearly. Of course, most of them were also chatting, and he couldn't find much useful information, and he saw the car coming to pick him up shortly after getting off the plane.
This is a luxurious and noble Cadillac, and Su Li has never sat in such a luxurious car.
To Su Li's somewhat flattered surprise, the person who came to receive him in person was Will Smith.
This actor is the same as in the movie screen, he gives people a very intimate feeling, he is a rare film and television star in the United States, and Su Li can be regarded as getting a lot of face by being greeted by him.
Unbeknownst to Su Li, a few minutes earlier, Will Smith had been engaged in a small debate with his driver. The driver was complaining, "Hey, Will, I have to say this sucks." Maybe we're best off lying at home and sleeping right now instead of coming to this damn cold place to greet a hillbilly! The driver was familiar with Will, so some of the complaints were unscrupulous, and he couldn't figure out why Will Smith valued a Chinese so much.
"Man, trust me, he's anything but ordinary." Will Smith replied to the driver, "I haven't met this young man named Su Li yet, but I've seen the script he wrote, and that's great, and when our new movie comes out, you'll give up your preconceptions about him." ”
At this time, I happened to encounter a red light, so the driver patted the direction and said with a strange smile: "Come on!" I don't know that kind of countryman yet, I guess he'll faint with happiness when he sees you, and when he sees this car, he will make his mouth water, and when he talks to him in English, he'll say a word and stop and think, I'm sorry I described that friend of yours like that, but it's honest, I can even make a bet with you. ”
Will Smith was not angry that the driver thought of Su Li this way, and although he admired Su Li too, Americans had a deep-rooted concept of the Chinese -- hillbilly, local old man, broken English, etc., and they never thought to really understand the Chinese. However, since Su Li is already his friend, Will Smith naturally can't let the driver belittle Su Li to nothing, and immediately said: "Don't say that, you will lose badly......"
However, he was also a little worried in his own heart that when he saw Su Li, the other party really hadn't seen anything in the world, and if he saw himself as if he was seeing the sun, then his appreciation of Su Li would drop by many notches, and at the same time, he would be ridiculed by the driver in the future.
When he saw Su Li for the first time, he felt that this young man was much better than he imagined. Twenty years old is the age of frizz, but Su Li looks calm. A pleasant look, a figure that is not too tall but not too short in the United States, well-organized clothes, and a sincere smile on the corner of his mouth - this is much better than Will Smith imagined.
When the driver saw Su Li's appearance, he also felt that the first impression of this young man was very good, but he was still waiting for Su Li to make a fool of himself - in the face of a big star like Will Smith, he thought that Su Li might reveal the impetuousness that he had never seen the world, and he couldn't help but be happy.
It does feel good to see a foreign star Su Li, but Will Smith is not his idol at all, so he is not ecstatic, he still smiled faintly, and then shook hands with Will Smith and said, "Mr. Smith, it is an honor to be greeted by you personally." ”
"It's just a small thing...... You're so much better than I thought you would. Will Smith laughed.
The driver's second argument was again overturned, and Su Li was neither humble nor arrogant in the face of Will Smith, not too close but never cold, which was very different from what he imagined. And at this time, Su Li also noticed that the car seemed to be a Cadillac, and the driver saw Su Li's gaze, and suddenly became proud-now you should always reveal your surname.
Unexpectedly, Su Li just glanced at the car lightly and withdrew his gaze - for a person who doesn't have much sense of cars, even if you give him the most expensive car in the world, he won't be grateful for it.
"Ah......" The driver felt that there was a bit of a miscalculation, and hurriedly stood up and prepared to win back the city, standing beside Will Smith and speaking English in a straight and round voice, and said to Su Li at a fairly fast speed: "Hello, I heard that your name is Su Li, and we drove here for a long time in this ghost weather...... I think you must have experienced the beauty of Los Angeles, yes, Los Angeles is beautiful, right? ”
This series of English, if it was placed in the college days, Su Li would immediately faint even when he heard one of the sentences, let alone the long list now? But now it was different, he quickly understood what the man meant, smiled slightly, and said, "Thank you for waiting, this is a beautiful city." ”
Su Li's pronunciation is also quite good, he already has a good voice, and the English he has learned in the past few days has quickly come in handy, and the English he speaks is no different from some authentic Americans, and there is a special magnetic surname in his voice. The driver, who was expecting to use Su Li's non-standard pronunciation of English, had to shrug his shoulders at Will Smith with a wry smile, and then said to Su Li, "Get in the car, man." ”
Will Smith's impression of Su Li was getting better and better, and this young man who spoke fluent English, articulate and well-behaved was truly appreciated by him.
Finally sitting in the back seat of the car, Su Li still had a smile on the corner of his mouth, he knew that he had passed the first test when he came to the United States.
