Chapter 244: Hollywood Black and White Movie (Medium)
"Can you imagine? I'm sitting here, those well-known makeup artists and agents surrounding me, oh ......" Selena let out a sigh as she sat at the dresser, her eyes narrowed as if she was mesmerized by the fantasy of life.
"I don't have to imagine, they'll be there soon."
"What?" Selena turned and looked at him suspiciously, and then saw a large crowd of people rushing in through the door of the dressing room, some of them holding hangers with dresses of various colors, others carrying jewelry racks, all of which were full of precious stones, and they swarmed and surrounded Selena.
Bruce sat on the couch on one side of the room, his eyes squinting, a cigar in his hand, but he didn't put it in his mouth, just let the smoke drift away.
"Hey, wait, what are you guys doing?" Selena didn't react when she was lifted from the chair, but soon, she was pushed by the stylist and walked into the changing room.
Bruce leaned back on the couch and looked up at the dressing room, a place where Hollywood's rise was witnessed, where countless international movie stars and celebrities once sat and their faces reflected in the mirror.
Exquisite costumes cut across soft carpets, glittering gems weave into a brilliant galaxy, and the wood here retains the smell of perfume, mixed with the burnt aroma of cigars, making people drowsy.
That most prosperous and gorgeous era made anyone unconsciously immersed in it, chasing those extravagant, complicated and beautiful dreams.
Bruce's eyes slowly widened, and he saw Selena come out of the changing room.
The first time he saw Selena in such a gorgeous dress, it was a long dress with a single fishtail full of fine diamonds, and the light above her head made a river of light swell on her body, this light made Bruce, who was used to the dark, squint, Selena stroked her earrings and looked at Bruce: "Is it good-looking?" ”
There was always an unsettling feeling when Bruce's blue eyes narrowed, and in the cat's intuition, this feeling was even stronger, and Selena clearly felt the aggression in Bruce's gaze, which made him look not at all a playboy, but a beast of prey.
Bruce stood up and took her hand, Selena holding his waist with one hand: "...... Is this a dream? ”
Bruce saw a hint of confusion between her eyebrows, a little childish, like a little girl who couldn't figure out a simple question.
Life in the slums makes people fade away from all innocence, and the days of struggling with food, clothing and hardship are engraved on the corners of her eyebrows, and the strength and wildness that supported her in the hard days are washed away by this trace of childishness, and the sense of vulnerability revealed makes Bruce's heart, which has not beaten for many years, beat hard.
When Selena raised her eyes, her eyes were brighter than the jewels on her body, and she said, "Have you seen that movie?" ”
"Which one?"
“…… I forgot. Selena tilted her head, "But there is always such a part, I remember, the hero and heroine dancing on stage, the heroine is wearing the same dress as me, she is very beautiful......"
"So are you."
"Are you going to dance with me, then?" Selena asked him.
Bruce wrapped his arms around her waist, "I should have asked you this question, Miss Selena, could you please dance with me?" ”
The light floats in a dim shadow, like a dream that will never wake up, and the dust under the light jumps, like a band playing dance music in the microcosm, and the light falls, nothing has changed here, but the day is dawning.
"Look at this! This is so cool! Peter picked up a lasso and excitedly said, "I guess this must be a prop for a Western!" The last time I went west...... Oh, Gwen, come and see, what's in there? Looks like a powder room? ”
Peter pulled Gwen over and pointed to a room inside, and the two of them looked inside with some curiosity, and the interpreter saw their expressions and walked over to introduce them: "Oh, this is the exhibition hall of the dressing room that restored the original set, and most of the exhibits in it were moved from there. ”
"Restoration? What happened to that powder room? ”
The dissolver showed a look of pity and shrugged his shoulders, "Unfortunately, it was burned down in a fire at the turn of the century. ”
"Oh my God, I think I've heard my dad go through that fire." Gwen drew a cross on her chest, "It looks like another firefighter died." ”
"Yes, there aren't many items left, but this exhibition hall has tried its best to restore the look of that time, you can go in and have a look."
Peter and Gwen walked into the dressing room hand in hand, and as soon as they walked in, Gwen let out a "wow" exclamation, and Peter stroked the wooden dressing room table: "This should be the real thing, right?" This wood grain is really beautiful. ”
"That's right." The interpreter stood at the door: "There is also the sofa next to it, which was also rescued from the original site, you can visit, I won't bother." ”
The dismissal smiled and left, and Peter looked up and left and right, completely immersed in the novelty of the old age.
This is a completely different feeling from science and technology exhibitions, full of the humanistic customs of that prosperous era.
Peter walked over to the couch, looked left and right, and then sat down, and Gwen exclaimed, "Why did you sit down?" It's a relic, what if it's broken? ”
"It's okay, it's sturdy, would you like to try it?"
Peter's eyes were always bright when he looked up, almost overflowing with joy and anticipation, and Gwen walked up to him and took Peter's outstretched hand, which she seldom looked down at Peter's face from top to bottom.
Peter laughed: "Do you know how red your face is?" ”
Gwen fanned her face with her hand, as if to change the subject, "I have a great idea, I'll go from there...... It's that changing room that comes out, and you imagine that I'm wearing a beautiful dress, can you imagine it? ”
"Of course, my imagination is great." Peter moved around in his chair for a moment, as if he didn't know how to relax, then he leaned his back against the back and lifted his head, Gwen let go of his hand and turned to walk to the changing room.
When Peter heard a "squeak", he knew that the door to the dressing room was open, and he looked down with his eyes staring at the ceiling, and then he saw that Gwen had come out of the dressing room and stood in front of the window against the light, and the afternoon sun gilded her with a silver veil, and Peter was really intrigued.
His eyes widened, his pupils constricted as if stunned, and Gwen took two steps forward with her hands behind her back, her hair glistening in the light.
Seeing Peter's sluggish expression, Gwen suddenly lowered her head and laughed, and then stretched out a hand, Peter involuntarily stood up and took her hand, and when Gwen raised her eyes to look at him, her voice seemed soft and thin.
"You, will there be people who have done this in this dressing room before, as in the movies?"
"I want to ...... Yes. Peter stammered.
"So what do you think they'll do next?"
“…… What will be done? Peter felt his mind go blank, Gwen turned his head away, looked at the window, and said, "Anyway, I won't be standing as stupid as you." ”
With that, she let go of Peter's hand and turned to walk the other way, Peter was suddenly awakened, he grabbed Gwen, Gwen looked back at him, and a bright beam of sunlight between the two of them brought up countless tiny dusts.
"Gwen ......" Peter could only call her name blankly, feeling the temperature coming from her hand, Gwen saw that a complicated look suddenly appeared on Peter's face, but in the end, he saw that Peter opened his mouth, but there was still nothing.
Gwen showed a sad expression, but she quickly restrained her, and she said, "Let's go see another exhibition." ”
When the two of them walked out of the exhibition hall, it was already nearly dusk, and Gwen and Peter walked hand in hand on the steps in front of the exhibition hall, and they walked down the steps step by layer, watching the light of dusk flow down the steps.
"What do you think?" Gwen suddenly asked, and Peter turned to look at her, a little puzzled, "What's the matter?" ”
"How's this exhibition?"
"Very well, I'm ...... Well, it's a little different, but it's really good, I never knew that film history was so interesting. ”
"I thought you wouldn't like it." Gwen put a hand behind her back, "After all, you seem to prefer those industrial products." ”
"You don't want to be stupid about 'I like you like it,' I don't want to hear that." Gwen looked at Peter from above his eyes, Peter showed a somewhat embarrassed expression, and Gwen smiled, "You are really the most unloving person I have ever met." ”
Peter scratched his sideburns, and the corners of his mouth turned down, "You must think I'm a very boring person, don't you?" I'm really not very good at good words, my aunt is often, and it's a rare miracle that I can find a girlfriend. ”
Gwen was suddenly amused by him, and she burst out laughing, "Your words are really not funny...... But it always makes me laugh. ”
"You know what? Peter......" Gwen suddenly looked at Peter, seriously: "I always feel that there is another you, a you I don't know, hidden under this exterior of yours." ”
"It may be that I'm thinking nonsense, but I always have this intuition, Peter, it's your soul that attracts me under the surface, you are different from them, but I'm not any different......"
Seeing Peter's expression, Gwen asked, "Did I make you feel embarrassed?" ”
She shook her head slightly, her hair fluttering with her movements.
"Don't be embarrassed, Peter."
She walked the next step before Peter, and then looked up at him, "Just as you are willing to accompany me on a trip to Hollywood to fulfill my childish fantasies, just as you are willing to accept a different me, of course I can accept a different you." ”
She reached out and gently touched Peter's face with her fingers, "Don't worry, don't doubt, don't be embarrassed...... Peter, there is, is, or will be to be embarrassed for me. ”
Peter's eyes crossed the dreams he had had one after another, and his eyes contained the childishness of a teenager, but with a different kind of perseverance, he looked into Gwen's eyes, where there was a sea of gentle lovers, and he heard Gwen: "...... I like every you, different you. ”
"You're different from everyone I've ever seen...... Selena walked down the stairs, then stopped, looking at Bruce on the next step, "It's like two completely different souls live in your body." ”
"Why so?" Bruce looked at Selena, the two steps made the difference in height wider, and Selena's attempt to look up looked a little funny and a little cute.
"You can take it as a cat's intuition, I don't even know if the you I'm seeing now are the real you, or if there are many of them?"
"Which one do you like best?" Bruce's eyes suddenly lit up with an orange flame in the cold blue of the dusk, and Selena felt her gaze melt with the flame until it reached her heart.
"Of course I like the rich one." Selena waved her arm: "Can you take me to Los Angeles to play, and give me such a beautiful dress to dance with me......"
Selena was sure she saw disappointment in Bruce's eyes, she suddenly laughed slyly, and when she looked at Bruce again, with a little smugness, she said, "You just broke your heart, didn't you?" ”
"I remember you, bats don't get sad." Selena stretched out a hand to caress Bruce's face, but the difference in height made her move like an outstretched arm praying for a god to come.
"But you can be sad that you're not just a bat, at least not for me...... My Mr. Yarnball. ”
