442 Friends of the New Year

Sitting in the spectator seats of the stadium stands, quietly watching the process of the slow ebb of the red sea, the commotion and excitement gradually subsided, and finally the whole Candlestick Stadium returned to its original state, the colorful colors disappeared and seemed to escape into black and white, all the quiet, vast and ethereal, there is an indescribable thrilling.

Lu Ke and Leonardo sat quietly like this, admiring the grandeur and moving of this scene, without talking, but enjoying a rare moment of tranquility, the tranquility of no one disturbing and no need to communicate. This is true for Leonardo, and it is also true for Lu Ke, who is gradually standing on the cusp.

"I think I should go back to the locker room."

Lu Ke took the initiative to break the calm, and said with a smile, "I need to take a shower, and then start doing an ice bath, and maybe need to relax my muscles, it is estimated that now the team doctor has begun to look for me everywhere." ”

Especially after the ups and downs of his form in today's game, the fatigue of the muscles in his right arm needs more physical therapy, otherwise, he will be in such a difficult situation in every game after that, but he cannot guarantee that he will be able to escape death every time.

"You know, there's always a set of procedures that athletes have to go through. In order to continue the career, but also to ensure good health outside of sports competitions. Lu Ke said jokingly to himself, and his simple words always carried a sense of ridicule.

Leonardo chuckled involuntarily and nodded repeatedly, "Of course." Forgive my faux pas, I'd better not delay the Bay Area King's recuperation and recovery, or I'll be in a bad position if something happens in the next game. ”

King of the Bay Area.

Mixed in a bunch of words, seemingly calm, but with banter, Leonardo also slapped Lu Ke, you come and go - there are contacts to be regarded as equal friends.

Lu Ke did not refute, but calmly accepted the ridicule, "According to this logic, then what are you?" The King of Hollywood? This is tantamount to accepting the praise and rebelling against the army.

Leonardo opened his mouth, subconsciously wanting to refute the argument, but looking at Lu Ke, who was at ease, he realized that in terms of eloquence, it was really difficult for him to gain the upper hand, and he continued to ridicule, just letting himself fall into passivity step by step, so he changed his words, "Roar, relax, relax, I'm not a fan of the New York Giants, I'm not a reporter for the news media, I'm just ......"

"You're just the king of Hollywood." Lu Ke seamlessly took Leonardo's words, and the two of them paused for a moment, and then they both laughed out loud, and the atmosphere became more relaxed and cheerful.

After laughing, Leonardo offered an invitation, "If you have a chance in the future, you should come to Los Angeles and attend the premiere of a movie." ”

Lu Ke didn't think about it, shook his head with a smile and refused, "That's not the right stage for me, I'd better concentrate on practicing passing on the training ground." But, thank you for the invitation, I know that this is an opportunity that many people have dreamed of. ”

"No, I'm serious." Leonardo interrupted Lu Ke's words and said sincerely.

Then seeing Lu Ke's surprised expression, he added, "I believe that those reporters will welcome you with open arms, even in Hollywood, you will have a place." Of course, if you want, I can also introduce you to some actor friends and go to some parties...... It's all some familiar routines, but if you immerse yourself in it, it's still quite interesting. ”

Hollywood?

Although Lu Ke spent four years in Los Angeles during his college career, which is the center of the film industry around the world; But to be honest, his knowledge of the Hollywood industry is really limited, and he hasn't even seen a few movies.

The memory of the last trip to the cinema was far away, and if he wanted to watch a movie, renting a disc or streaming it online on demand was a more straightforward option — but even that was the way he hadn't tried for a long, long time.

was about to open his mouth to refuse, but another thought flashed through Lu Ke's mind, "You know what? Maybe in the future, if I have the chance, can I transfer the tickets for the premiere? To avoid misunderstandings, he then explains, "I mean, my parents are very, very fond of movies, and they still go to the cinema every week. ”

Lu Zhengze and Jiang Youning are pure movie lovers, not the kind of fanatical research nature, they just like this kind of relaxing and entertaining method, which was the case when they were still in China before; After immigrating, they continued this hobby, starting with practising their daily English conversations, so they would always go to the cinema every week, but gradually it became a habit.

Because Lu Ke doesn't have much interest in movies, this also makes every week's movie time a rare time for Lu Zhengze and Jiang Youning to enjoy the world of the two.

Leonardo showed a look of surprise, "Of course there is no problem. I can give you a few more tickets to the premiere if needed, and you can bring your own friends; Just say hi to me in advance. ”

After a pause, Leonardo still felt incredulous, "Are you serious?" Do your parents go to the cinema every week? I thought they were just like you, sports lovers. ”

"I'll tell you a secret, my father's name is Jack. From ......" Lu Ke's follow-up words did not continue, but fell on Leonardo.

Leonardo didn't know why, he was stunned, and then he reacted, nodded suddenly in understanding, and then his eyes widened, and he looked at Lu Ke incredulously, "Are you serious?" ”

"No offense, but that's what it is." Lu Ke said sincerely, and his smile couldn't help but rise.

In fact, when they met for the first time, they mentioned the "Titanic", the age gap between Lu Ke and Leonardo was even bigger than imagined, a full fifteen years apart, and now the two of them unexpectedly became friends, in a sense, this can be regarded as ...... Friends of the New Year?

Leonardo gradually came to his senses, shrugged his shoulders, and tried to pretend not to care, "No problem, of course, I mean, sure, it's ...... Well, possibly. What's more, Jack, Jack is a very common name......" After speaking incoherently, he paused, "Wait, are you sure?" Your father is watching ......"

"After 'Titanic', I decided on my English name, yes, I'm pretty sure." Lu Ke could feel Leonardo's "collapse" and still couldn't seem to believe such a fact, which made Lu Ke laugh happily.

Leonardo frowned slightly, still full of disbelief, "What about your mother?" ...... her name? ”

After saying it, Leonardo regretted it, and the words behind him couldn't go on at all, and he looked at Lu Ke in a daze, but found that Lu Ke never spoke, and his heart sank little by little. How can he feel that he has been digging a hole for himself, and then letting himself sink deeper and deeper, what is going on?

After deliberately delaying his answer for a while, Lu Ke noticed Leonardo's tangled expression, and then he sent a twist with satisfaction, "No, my mother's name is Annie." Her name comes from Shakespeare's wife, Anne Hathaway. ”

Later, an actor also named Anne Hathaway came into the public eye and became an instant hit with "The Princess Diaries"; But Jiang Youning's English name did not come from her, but was determined earlier.

Leonardo let out a long breath, and although he knew it was not necessary, he unloaded a large stone and nodded repeatedly, "Anne is a good name, yes, Anne is a good name." The expression of happiness for the rest of his life after the catastrophe really made people laugh.

Lu Ke decided that it was better for him not to continue to fall into the well.

Originally, Lu Ke wanted to say that Lu Zhengze and Jiang Youning liked the work "Titanic" very much, and if Leonardo could sign it, or even meet face-to-face next time, they would be very happy; But seeing Leonardo's palpitating appearance, Lu Ke deeply believed that he still didn't want to scare away this friend he had just made.

Escorting Leonardo all the way to the VIP tunnel, which has direct access to the dedicated parking lot to avoid the wave of celebration from the enthusiastic fans, Leonardo took out a dark blue cap from the back pocket of his pants, and then pulled up the zipper of his jacket to hide his face, the back of the tiger looked really funny.

With such a background, such a dress, and such equipment, it is really too familiar, Lu Ke couldn't help tilting his head slightly, he had a feeling: every time Leonardo is captured in the paparazzi shots, it seems to be the same set of equipment, and it looks like a ...... An ordinary middle-aged uncle, or a walking emoji.

Lu Ke didn't hold back and laughed again.

Turning around and stepping away, he returned to the locker room, all his teammates were still bustling and coaxing, and they all stepped forward to high-five Lu Ke in celebration, shouting in amazement, "Man, amazing!" It's really amazing! Even Hollywood hooked up/hooked up, is it going to become a movie superstar after that? ”

"Huh. Ha. Very funny. Lu Ke's smiling skin didn't smile at all, he couldn't stop this group of gossipy guys, why didn't he know before, athletes were so gossipy?

If it weren't for the timely appearance of team doctor Walter Hudson, it is estimated that Lu Ke would have been eaten alive.

Walter sternly looked at the giggling players in front of him, "Do your thing, quick!" Don't bother Lu Ke, he needs to do a check, there was an accident in today's game, and he won't be so lucky in the future. After speaking, Walter walked quickly to the infirmary and motioned for Lu Ke to follow.

Lu Ke, who was lagging behind, spread out his hands and made a pitiful expression, and then followed behind Walter dejectedly and took a step. The lively gesture succeeded in making everyone laugh - but under Walter's gaze, everyone had to shut their mouths again.

It's really hard to hold back a smile.
