Chapter 312: The Christmas Syndrome: Los Angeles Nostalgia

>,!

Los Angeles is located in the southwest of California, USA, and is the second largest city in the United States, after New York, and is also the largest metropolis in the west and the largest seaport in the United States. One of the world's centers of culture, science and technology, international trade and higher education.

Not only that, Los Angeles also enjoys titles such as "City of Technology" and "City of Angels".

This, of course, is where Los Angeles will be in the United States in the future world after World War II.

However, whether it is in the future world or during the war years in which Chen Dao lived, Los Angeles is the film kingdom that countless filmmakers around the world yearn for, just because of the existence of Hollywood in the suburbs of Los Angeles.

In 1893, Edison, the inventor, invented the motion picture mirror and created a photo stage called the "Prisoner Car", which is regarded as the beginning of American film history.

In 1896, the introduction of the Vitai projector began the mass screening of American films;

At the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century, the industrial development of cities in the United States and the rapid increase of middle- and lower-class residents made movies suitable for urban civilians

The need for a kind of mass entertainment.

In October 1911, a group of filmmakers from New Jersey, led by a local photographer, founded Hollywood's first film studio, Nestor Films.

In 1923, Hollywood, one of the symbols of Hollywood, was erected on the hillside behind Hollywood.

+≥,

On May 16, 1929, the Academy Awards were presented for the first time.

Time flies, and the 21st century has quietly arrived.

On September 10, 2013, on the land of Hollywood, a major event occurred that affected the world.

Chen Dao. A literary and artistic youth from China. With a literary heart. Landing in the United States from Los Angeles International Airport, he embarked on a life path of bravely entering Hollywood and learning advanced directing techniques.

However, the ideal is very plump, and the reality is very skinny.

Like many literary and artistic young people who have just entered the society, are simple-minded, do not know the sinister hearts of people, and are easy to trust others, he has only been in Hollywood for more than a year. Chen Dao, who is unfamiliar with the place, unfortunately encounters a liar named Sherlock.

Sherlock relied on his three-inch incorruptible tongue to pour ** soup on Chen Dao, turning Chen Dao, who was still very stupid and naïve at the time, dizzy, and in a daze, took out all his family funds of 500,000 US dollars, invested in a movie that did not exist at all, and waited enthusiastically to be the assistant director of the movie.

The result can be imagined, after Chen Dao transferred all his net worth according to the account provided by Sherlock, the powerful Sherlock magically evaporated from the world and disappeared from Chen Dao's sight.

Chen Dao's family is just one of thousands of well-off families in China, and the $500,000 is the family's entire savings. It's a patchwork of things.

Chen Dao's parents are very simple-minded and fully support their son's ideals. Realize my son's dream in life.

The sudden blow completely destroyed the Chen Dao family, and he remembered that his parents had told him a thousand times before sending money that he must keep his eyes open and make sure that Sherlock was not a liar before investing.

Thinking of his drunken gaffe, he accidentally said that he had been deceived, Wu Shiwan had no money, and his mother was immediately frightened and sick, and he was bedridden, Chen Dao felt a burst of blood on his head, and his heart was full of extreme emotions that destroyed everything.

If you find Sherlock, the liar, you must kill him with your own hands, even if God comes.

In the dark, there seems to be a demonic hand manipulating Chen Dao's life.

At the end of 2014, on Christmas Eve, Chen Dao wandered the streets of Los Angeles' West Side like a ghost when he unexpectedly spotted the figure of the scammer Sherlock.

In an international metropolis with a population of 18 million, it is absolutely a rare event to be able to find an incognito liar before the police.

Although Sherlock had his back to Chen Dao at the time, Chen Dao still saw through his true identity at a glance.

Chen Dao was immediately furious, he originally thought that Sherlock would flee Los Angeles after he succeeded, but he didn't expect that he would hide in Los Angeles in a big way, and he would dare to swagger on the street.

Chen Dao followed Sherlock all the way and found him hiding in a red building built in the late 19th century in the western suburbs of Los Angeles.

Instead of seeking help from the police, he ran out of money and bought an AK47, two M1911 pistols, explosives, and a number of knives and ropes from black market merchants.

Gathering a bandit suit, Chen Dao carefully stepped on the points, and finally fired the gun of revenge in the early morning of Christmas 2014.

Chen Dao held an AK and smashed the lock of Sherlock's house door with a burst of sweeping, and then kicked open the door and rushed into the house, capturing Sherlock and his girlfriend who had just been awakened by the gunshot.

Chen Dao wields an AK to drive Sherlock's girlfriend away, then stuns Sherlock with the butt of his gun, and throws him into the living room.

Taking out the dagger, Chen Dao first stabbed Sherlock in his left leg, and after hearing Sherlock's screams, Chen Dao did the same on his right leg.

No matter how Sherlock howled and pleaded, Chen Dao did not stop, even if the shrill siren sounded outside the building, Chen Dao did not change his mind, he had prepared for the worst before making a move.

Disgusted that Sherlock's screams were too ugly and disturbing, Chen Dao picked up a double-edged dagger and stuffed it into Sherlock's mouth, stirring and cutting Sherlock's tongue indiscriminately, confirming that he would never deceive people with rhetoric in the future.

Picking off Sherlock's tendons and hamstrings to ensure that Sherlock lived a happy life in the second half of his life, Chen Daocai was satisfied with picking up the AK, rushing out of the door, using the wall of the building as a cover, and shooting at the police outside, until he ran out of bullets, he pretended to surrender the gun, and then detonated the explosives on his body and the police died together, adding a little festive atmosphere to the Christmas of the people of Los Angeles with dazzling fireworks.

After being shattered, under the manipulation of the power of demons that cannot be seen or touched, but also exists, Chen Dao appeared on the battlefield of World War II in Poland, became the brother-in-law of a profiteer, and began to write a new chapter in his life.

After experiencing a thrilling life of being deceived and breaking into the door, the police and bandits shot the flesh and bones, Chen Dao's world view, outlook on life and values have undergone major changes, and the original innocent young man who was simple-minded, ignorant of people's hearts, sinister, and easy to trust others disappeared.

Close to Zhu Zhechi. He who touches pitch will be defiled. Under the vigorous influence of a certain profiteer's brother-in-law. Chen Dao has more attributes of being a black-bellied, greedy for money, unprofitable, and unprofitable.

Since then, there has been one less literary and artistic youth in the world, and one more violent young man with the dual attributes of bandit + profiteer.

On the morning of January 1, 1942, the first day of the new year.

Chen Dao, dressed in civilian clothes, accompanied by four adjutants and four orderlies, accompanied by a guide sent by the German consulate in Los Angeles, rode in three cars and wandered around Los Angeles in a leisurely manner.

Look at the small part of the familiar old scene on both sides of the street. Chen Dao naturally thought of his career as a bandit in Los Angeles, and couldn't help but feel a sense of vicissitudes in his heart.

After enduring it for a long time, Chen Dao finally did not resist the urge to go to Hollywood.

The three cars then burst out of Los Angeles and headed for Hollywood, a suburb of Los Angeles.

Surrounded by mountains and rivers, the scenery is pleasant, this is the impression that Hollywood left on Chen Dao, it was in the past, and it is still today.

Despite the cold winter, Major Bach and others were still attracted by the exotic atmosphere of Hollywood.

Opposites attract each other is an unbreakable truth, for the gang of men led by Chen Dao. The most attractive thing is the beauty on the street.

On the streets of Hollywood, there is no shortage of young men and women who dream of becoming famous overnight.

Look at the streets or pure, or enchanting, or seductive, or cold, rejecting people thousands of miles away. Chen Dao is okay, after all, he has already seen Hollywood, Chen Dao and his young subordinates only feel dazzled, and from time to time they whisper to discuss which girl is more beautiful and which girl is more attractive.

The corners of Chen Dao's mouth showed a slight arc, and the sound of disputes and soft excites behind him reminded him of his youth in the past, when he broke into Hollywood, his favorite thing to do in his spare time was to sit in a coffee house facing the street, choose a position by the window, while tasting coffee, while admiring all kinds of beauties walking by the window, according to the appearance and temperament of the beauties to arrange suitable roles for them in the movies they envisioned.

Chen Dao was different from the young subordinates behind him who were overflowing with male hormones, he was not interested in the beauties on the street, he turned his back to the sky, and looked at the loud company names that flashed on the street from time to time.

MGM, which produced one of the best films in film history, "Gone with the Wind", created the enduring screen classic 007, and created the immortal cartoon character cat and mouse.

Paramount, which produced the "Transformers", "The Godfather", "Forrest Gump" and "Raiders of the Lost Ark" series.

There are also big-name studios such as Warner Bros. Columbia.

It doesn't matter what kind of company it is, after the war is over, the German film industry will snatch all the famous films made by these companies, trample these companies under their feet, and prevent these companies from earning a single mark at the box office in Germany and even in Europe.

Infinite lust, Chen Dao walked to the corner of the street, still looking up at the surrounding office buildings and theaters with his back to the sky, and did not see a man and a woman on the opposite side at all.

A man and a woman on the opposite side, the man on the left and the woman on the right.

Chen Dao turned his back to the sky and didn't pay attention to the front, the woman opposite lowered her head and looked at the road, the man next to her looked at her side face, chattering something, and also didn't see Chen Dao on the other side of the corner.

With an exclamation, the woman was crashing into Chen Dao's arms, her lowered head and Chen Dao's chin collided.

The two teams stopped at the same time, Chen Dao rubbed his slightly aching chin and looked at the woman, and the woman raised her palm-sized face to look at Chen Dao.

Seeing clearly that a woman is not, it is a girl's appearance, Chen Dao instantly felt that his heart stopped beating.

The girl looked to be less than twenty years old, with straight black hair in a shawl, and her shiny black hair reflected her fairer skin, but she did not look like an albinist like a Caucasian, but a noble and elegant ceramic white.

The girl's smooth melon seed face was tender as if she could pinch out the water, she covered the top of her head, frowned slightly, her white teeth bit her rosy lips, and her lake-clear black eyes flickered and stared at Chen Dao, as if she was wordlessly accusing Chen Dao, you hurt me.

The girl was very tall, 1.7 meters tall, wearing a long black coat with the hem of the coat up to the knees, black tight thick velvet socks on the calves below the knees, and black leather shoes under the slender ankles.

The red scarf breaks the cold atmosphere brought by the black outfit, like the finishing touch to make the girl's whole person alive.

No wonder her beauty is so impressive, it turns out that she is a half-breed.

Looking at the girl's appearance between the yellow race and the white race, Chen Dao sighed in his heart.

Touched by the girl's beauty, Chen Dao's long-hidden literary youth attributes instantly exploded, positioning the girl as a role.

If one day after the end of the war, I decided to shoot the classic film "Roman Holiday", and the girl in front of me who seemed to have come out of the comics was definitely Audrey. Hepburn's strongest contender.

Not only Chen Dao, but the men's gang behind Chen Dao were also shocked by the girl's beauty, and everyone stared at the girl in silence.

Fortunately, Chen Dao was prescient, and everyone wore civilian clothes, which did not affect the image of the German ** people.

Next to the girl was a boy of her age, and the boy saw Chen Dao and a group of young men staring at the girl intently, although it was not the first time he had seen a man being shocked by the girl's beauty, he still asked very unpleasantly, "Sir, are you okay?" ”

The girl followed, "I'm sorry, sir. ”

The voice was also very beautiful, it sounded gentle like water, and Chen Dao's heart instantly returned to beating.

"I'm fine. I'm sorry, miss, I hurt you. Chen Dao stared at the girl's right hand covering the top of her head and said.

The girl rubbed the top of her head and said to Chen Dao, "It's okay, sir. ”

"Since it's okay, let's go." The boy said and took the girl's hand, bowed slightly to Chen Dao, and then pulled the girl around Chen Dao and left.

Chen Dao stood around the corner, watching the surging crowd drown out the girl with the red scarf, before reluctantly turning around.

Major Bach, Major Lorenz and the others squeezed their eyebrows and laughed for a while, and then said to Chen Dao: "This girl is the most beautiful girl I have ever seen in my life. ”

"And the most touching girl I've ever seen." Captain Nobel said.

"I feel the same way." Captain Nietzsche said.

Chen Dao scratched his head, suddenly sighed and said, "Let's go back, there is nothing to visit here." ”

Chen Dao said and turned around and walked towards the car that followed behind.

Major Bach glanced at Chen Dao's back and whispered to Major Lorenz, "The commander's heart must have followed that girl." ”

"Was it love at first sight? That's a problem. Major Lorenz said.

Soon, the two breathed a sigh of relief.

After Chen Dao got into the car, he asked the driver to go straight to the hotel where the meeting was staying, instead of following the girl as they imagined.

As the three cars drove into downtown Los Angeles and were about to arrive at the Monterion Hotel, Chen Dao suddenly told the driver not to stop and turned to another street.

After questioning passers-by twice, Chen Dao directed the car all the way to the western suburbs of Los Angeles.

Looking at the red buildings standing on the side of the road in the distance, Chen Dao's mood couldn't help but surge.

The battlefield, the burial place, the origin of all stories, I am back.

The car stopped in front of the main entrance of the red building, and Chen Dao was about to push the door to get out of the car, when he suddenly put down his hand again.

Looking at the two figures walking out of the main entrance of the building, Chen Dao's gaze stopped at the figure wearing a red scarf.

It turned out to be her! (To be continued......)
