New York, 2002.

"You occupy my mind and linger

"Boy, I just want to have your love."

Tang De, who was lying flat on the bed, heard "Can't Get You Out of My Head" in a hazy way, and suddenly woke up from his drowsy sleep.

He opened his eyes and raised his head slightly, checking where he was.

only to find a beautiful woman wearing a bathrobe and using a comb to trim her blonde hair was standing opposite and looking at her with a smile.

Don De frowned, squinted his eyes in the warm sunlight, and saw her face clearly.

The high bridge of the nose is impeccable like a sculpture, the pink and sexy lips are slightly upturned, and the golden hair is scattered over her fair shoulders.

"Scarlett?"

Can't be wrong, he's seen a lot of her work. As the actor of Marvel's most famous character, Black Widow, her popularity among the Chinese is definitely not inferior to those first-line domestic stars.

Just how do you stand in front of your own bed?

His brain raced, and then flashed back to last night's clip.

Blurred bars, heavy subwoofers and crowds of people dancing around the dance floor. The two met over a glass of wine, followed by passionate kisses and the sound of stripping.

And the messy sheets and messy ground in front of you at this point also prove it.

Since he traveled to the United States in 2002, Tang De has also wondered if he will meet those celebrities in advance, but this way of meeting is definitely the most honest of all.

As soon as he thought of this, Tang De heard Scarlett's voice: "Good morning, you really slept so hard that you couldn't wake up even if you pushed it." ”

Tang De, who recalled everything, loosened his brows and said with a smile: "Good morning, baby." You know, there's no ploughed land, just tired cows. ”

"Your analogy is quite interesting." Scarlett lifted her hair and gently wiped her slender swan neck with a towel. The droplets slid down the collarbone and into the invisible abyss.

"So what about you, beautiful Miss Scarlett, was you happy last night?"

Hearing his question, Scarlett curled the corners of her mouth: "Pleasant, very pleasant." We had a fantastic evening, and although it was my first attempt, I thought if my friend heard that someone could go on end for hours on end, he would probably exclaim God. ”

Scarlett smiled slightly, and then unabashedly lifted the bath towel on her body, revealing her perfect figure.

Although she was only eighteen years old at this time, she already had the style of a future widow.

Tang De couldn't take his eyes off it, and he couldn't help but whistle.

The once untouchable big star is really undressed in front of him...... It's even more exciting.

But before he could show that he was in the mood to continue fighting, he saw Scarlett turn around, brush her hair and say, "But that's it, okay?" ”

Well, she knows how to do things.

Tang De shrugged: "I understand, I have seen your work...... "The Horse Whisperer". ”

Although Scarlett was not yet a big name at this time, she had already participated in several films and was nominated for Best Actress at the Independent Spirit Awards.

Tang De knows that actresses at this stage should not have any scandals, although many celebrities must be indispensable in private.

"You're a fan of mine?" Scarlett put her clothes on her body with a puzzled expression, and then spread her hands: "That's really my honor." ”

"Sort of."

Scarlett cleaned up her hair and went to the bathroom again.

And Tang De also got up and cleaned up briefly, and then stood in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling mirror opposite the hotel bed and looked at himself.

Mixed Asian and European race, the facial features are as tough as marble carvings, a little thin to describe handsome, and a little thick to describe as a tough guy.

Since the crossing, Tang De himself is most satisfied with this appearance.

As for his past, it can only be said that it was the result of a wrong path and a wrong one.

is obviously a photographer who graduated from a top film school in China and has won the highest award in the industry, but under economic pressure, he has taken a crooked path and has become the top photographer and videographer in the industry. Because his works are both commercial and artistic, he is dubbed "Dark Cameron".

It's just that Don doesn't value these false names, he just scoffs at those pictures and videos that only focus on lust.

In his opinion, no matter what the work, the story and footage should be artistic in order to be evocative, and will not become a one-time fast-forward consumable.

And many films only care about venting their desires, which can't meet people's growing spiritual needs at all!

So he insisted on shooting with a complete plot and excellent composition, and despite the high cost, the number of subscribers to the film has been steadily growing, making other peers envious enough.

Perhaps because of this, some people were red-eyed, and on the day of the filming of the new movie, they suddenly faced a police search, and as a result, they accidentally fell off the building while jumping out of the window to escape.

However, Tang De was very happy at first when he found that he had crossed into the unscrupulous "free" paradise of the United States, thinking that what he had learned was finally put to use.

Unfortunately, after half a year, the pressure of a bad family and money made him exhausted, and the hapless Chinese father was killed in a street shooting, becoming the most inconspicuous of countless shootings in the United States.

My mother was also unable to go to work because she had two younger brothers to take care of.

Coupled with the various debts owed by his father, Tang De, the eldest son, suddenly became the pillar of the family.

And the reason why he was drinking in a bar yesterday was because he had recently made a fortune shooting for an underground adult magazine, so he went to the busiest bar in downtown New York to treat himself.

I didn't expect this reward to make a lot of money directly.

Just as Tang De thought of this, Scarlett walked out of the bathroom, she picked up her shoulder bag from the ground, and waved her hand at Tang De: "I'm leaving." ”

"When is the next time?" Tang De asked while putting on his pants.

"Next time......" Scarlett laughed, "Although you are great and I like it too, ...... Just this once. ”

Tang De raised his eyebrows and tightened his belt: "Once? Don't be so absolute, girl. It's America here, and anything is possible. ”

"There's everything...... Possible? Scarlett's eyebrows were raised and lowered, as if she was thinking about the origin of this statement.

But after thinking about it, she didn't seem to find it, so when she lifted her heels with her feet up, she replied, "That's a good sentence, indeed, this is America." We'll talk about it when we meet in another city...... Los Angeles, London, Tokyo...... Like you said, anything is possible. ”

"No problem." Don De spread his hands in agreement.

Scarlett then threw a flying kiss at him and left the room with her high heels.

β€œAmazing!” Tang De put his hand on his waist to make a cowboy shooting gesture, aimed at the big bed and made a "bang" with his mouth in foley.

Ten minutes later, Don also walked out of the hotel, holding his camera, the Canon EOS D30. It was Canon's first digital flagship in the '00s and a college gift that his dad bought for him.

Thanks to it, I don't have to add a heavy loan to buy a camera.

After all, there are not many amateur photographers who have been using digital cameras since 02, and there are still a considerable number of photographers who are using film, and some people shout after seeing digital cameras that they are simply toys and tools that violate photography.

But its increasing sales are proof of choice.

He skillfully opened the camera and looked back at last night's photos, and sure enough, there was a photo of Scarlett.

It's just that the content is a little inappropriate for children.

"I can't show it to anyone else, it's my personal treasure......" Tang De took out a new CF card from his pocket and replaced the original CF card.

After that, he went downstairs down the dark subway passage full of urine smell, and Tang De pulled the iron ring all the way back to the neighborhood where he was located.

This is a suburb of New York, and in order to pay off their debts, the family has sold their original house in a wealthy area and moved to a place where only low-income whites will live.

And just across a fence, you can see the black neighborhood not far away.

It's chaotic there, shootings, leaves, sex trafficking are all things that happen all the time. So every time Tang De came back, he would take a detour.

Today, however, his detour did not work, for several black boys with turbans who did not look to have grown their hair were at all.

"Hey, you're the photographer for Art Underground New York, right? I've seen you! The black boy looked around, his hands in his pockets, and he looked like a ruffian.

"......" Donde, who wanted to deny it, turned the camera behind his back with his hand, and the image of this black boy smoking in front of the magazine flashed in his mind.

"There's something I need your help with." The black boy led by a hippie smile came to Tang De, and suddenly pulled off his green coat to show him after speaking.

Tang De didn't have time to get a full glimpse, but the black metallic color made him realize what had happened to him in an instant.

"Okay, what are you going to do?" Everyone is equal in front of the gun, and Tang De did not try to resist, for fear of angering these fatherless guys.

But he had already cursed in his heart.

Shit America, shit black gangs! Good people deserve to be held at gunpoint, right?
