Chapter 59: Looking for Avril!
Canada, the legendary country of maple leaves, Zhou Shaoming was a little tired after a long flight, but he was even more excited to look at the beautiful and moving scenery around him.
When the autumn sun was about to set, Zhou Shaoming finally came by long-distance bus from Curis City, which is more than 120 kilometers away from Napani Town, to this quiet and serene Napani town hidden in the vast forest, with moving scenery.
It's not early, Zhou Shaoming didn't take the liberty to come to the door overnight to disturb, he has never chased stars, he doesn't know Ai Weier's current situation, and he doesn't know if her parents will allow a guy who suddenly appeared to claim to be a Hollywood director, and then licked his face and asked to bring someone else's baby daughter to the United States.
Therefore, Zhou Shaoming plans to stay down first and have some contact with Ai Weier, first of all, to obtain her consent before proceeding with the next step.
At about half past seven, Zhou Shaoming was on the clean and beautiful street, dragging his luggage and strolling around, so he made up his mind to find a hotel to stay in first.
"Hey, boss, do you have any spare rooms?" Zhou Shaoming walked into a small but family-like hotel, and asked the boss who was a little chubby, bald, wearing big reading glasses, and was looking down at the newspaper seriously.
Although he suddenly had tens of millions of dollars, Zhou Shaoming still had little interest in spending money, and he was afraid that he did not like to burn money as much as ordinary nouveau riche, and he did not live in five-star life, and hard work and simplicity were still the fine traditions of the Chinese people.
"Welcome to Napani, young man! My name is Neville, and I have a warm and comfortable room for backpackers like you! When the fat boss saw that there was business coming to the door, he immediately put down the newspaper and hung it with a smile on his face, and helped Zhou Shaoming with his luggage.
"Oh, my name is Smith Chow, and I'm from the United States. I'm still young, I'll get the stuff! Find me a room, I'm tired from the long-haul plane and the coach! Zhou Shaoming hurriedly declined the kindness of the fat boss Neville, and followed him to a room with his luggage.
"This place is not bad, so let's do it, how much is it for a night?" Zhou Shaoming saw the small but very clean and tidy room, and nodded with satisfaction. The beds are very homely and warm yellow tones, not like other big hotels use white mattresses, which makes people feel very warm at a glance.
And there was a bright rose on top of the beige pillow, which made Zhou Shaoming feel good about it, so he decided to stay.
"Thanks, only $50 a night! It's cheap! Neville laughed.
"Okay, let's go through the formalities! I'll stay here tonight. Zhou Shaoming also replied with a smile.
The two went downstairs to the front desk, and Zhou Shaoming asked casually, "Boss, is there any place to eat here?" I'm starving. ”
"Oh, there's a little pizzeria not far ahead, a red sign that says lapizzeria, and that's the most famous one in town! We all love to eat pizza there! Neville said happily.
"Thanks, I'll go there and try authentic Canadian food!" When it came to eating, Zhou Shaoming's saliva was about to come down, so he hurriedly paid and wanted to jump out of the door.
"Young man, it doesn't seem to be the tourist season yet, do you come to Napani to play? Or is there something else? I'm a Napani Living landmark, I've been in this town for over fifty years! Neville happily took the money, opened the bill and handed it to Zhou Shaoming, and asked kindly.
"Oh, I'm a director, a Hollywood film director! My movie has just been released. Zhou Shaoming said his identity very pretentiously.
And the other party's expression was very satisfying to the somewhat stinky Zhou Shaoming, Naville was taken aback, and said with a shocked face: "Really! Are you really a Hollywood movie director? You're so young! ”
Every time he said that he was a director, the other party's expression made Zhou Shaoming shout as if he had eaten ginseng fruit, and he waved his hand lightly as if he didn't value those honors: "Hey, it's nothing, any young person can do it as long as he has a dream!" ”
"Hehe, when I was younger, I dreamed of being a sailor! Every day on the sea, facing the endless water, with the seagulls that come to the ship from time to time, and fighting against the sudden and terrifying waves, but I am now in my fifties, and I have never been on a big ship......" Neville looked at Zhou Shaoming with some envy, with a little jealousy in his eyes.
"If you do it, you can too! By the way, do you recognize a girl? Her name is Averl-Lavigny" Zhou Shaoming liked such a look, but he still maintained a humble smile on his face and said politely.
"Avril? Ah, she! She's the star of our town, a genius girl! She will have a great future in the future! Why, you're just here to find her to be the heroine of your movie? That's a great idea! She'll definitely be able to! Neville was visibly stunned when he heard Avril's name, but soon showed a relieved look and said cheerfully.
"Oh, I have this idea, I heard that she is very special, a unique girl." Although Zhou Shaoming was hungry, he was more concerned about the girl the director system asked him to find, so he asked seriously.
"That's right! She was a young, energetic, boyish girl. She doesn't like dolls, but skateboarding and hockey. She's a bit rebellious, different, and by the way, she's cute, too! The people in our town think she can become a world-class star! She will be the pride of our Napani! Neville laughed, as if he was extremely pleased with Averl.
"Skateboarding girls? That's a lot of fun! Zhou Shaoming, who didn't know who Ai Weier was, thought for a while, and felt that such a cheerful and outgoing girl should be very happy to accept her invitation to participate in "Spring of the Cattle Herding Class".
"You should go to the Napanee District Secondary School to find her, but at this time, check out the Chapters bookstore chain, where she reads a lot and occasionally shows off her angelic voice." Neville kindly took Zhou Shaoming out of the hotel gate, pointed to the south of the town and said, "The chapters bookstore chain is over there, not too far, just two streets away." ”
"Thanks, Mr. Neville, I'll take a look!" Zhou Shaoming said excitedly, then politely waved goodbye to Neville, and then walked quickly towards the chapters bookstore chain.
Chapters is Canada's super-chain of bookstores, located almost all over the country, with a layout similar to the monster in the movie "You'Vegotmail" that crushed the heroine's bookstore owned by Tom Hanks' family, with a wide variety of books, comfortable chairs and sofas, and a Starbucks coffee shop to encourage reading and recreation in the store.
As soon as you walk into the Chapters chain of bookstores, you will be greeted by the patchwork of white bookcases and spotless solid wood floors. There are many record CDs in the corner of the bookstore, as well as headphone devices for people to audition, and it seems that Avril is listening to music with headphones on, and then spreading her angelic singing voice.
