The voice of talking loudly and eloquently, so deeply immersed in the thoughts of the conversation, that no one noticed the appearance of Lan Li at all. Several young people on the right-hand side of the bar entrance were arguing with red faces.
"...No, no, didn't you find out?'Cleopatra','Believe it','Go ahead', these songs all hide the essence of rock and roll..." "So you think he Can be the second Bob Dylan? I admit that he is excellent, but he is not Bob! There is only one Bob in the world..." "...But there is also only one Renly Hall in the world!"
The argument was so intense that no one noticed that the tall figure that had just passed by was the object they were discussing. Lan Li retracted his jaw slightly, concealed his face into the shadows, and opened the door to enter the Pioneer Village Bar. The scene of people coming and going and guests was filled with the atmosphere of the party, surging warmly, and blowing his face. The coming heat made my vision blurred, and I didn't know where it should fall.
Before he had time to take a closer look and look for a familiar face among the crowd, a gray-haired, short stature old man came to face him. Before passing by, he suddenly stopped and went backwards. Two steps, standing in front of Lan Li, the muddy eyes hidden in the dim light looked up and down, revealing a trace of picky and playfulness, and said without warning, "You are a funny guy. "
I thought it was just a stranger passing by. Hearing these words attracted Lan Li to cast his attention, and then saw Woody Allen's iconic black-framed glasses. The little old man was still expressionless, but The slightly reddish cheeks still added a touch of kindness than usual. Perceiving Lanly's inquiry, Woody didn't care. Not only did he have no intention of explaining, but he added, "I mean, you are more interesting than I thought."
"Is the'game end point' interesting, or the "Midnight Paris" interesting?" Lan Li's eyes flashed with a slight smile, and he teased back.
"Scarlett Johansson is interesting." Woody pushed his black-rimmed glasses and said meaningfully.
The great director has repeatedly stated in public that Scarlett is his "muse" and the source of creative inspiration. Scarlett has also served as the heroine of Woody's film works three times, "Game Point", "Exclusive News", and "Midnight Barcelona".
Lan Li lifted his chin, and a playful light appeared in his eyes, "So you mean, you got inspiration in me? Next, will I be the core role and tailor a script?"
Woody chuckled.
This is the first time that Lanly has seen Woody’s expression of such openness. It can be seen that Woody is indeed in a very happy mood tonight, and his body is filled with an unexpressible lightness, "Young man, don’t be too greedy, too. Don't be too arrogant." Woody squinted and replied sharply, "My muse is a woman. It used to be like this, and it will be like this in the future. Men are no help for creative inspiration." As he said, One side also showed a look of disgust, "Women, only women."
Woody repeated the same sentence twice, emphasizing his point of view, which made Lanly laugh dumbstruck, "What about'Midnight Paris'?"
"If you have seen this work, you should know that Owen-Wilson refers to me, and the real inspiration comes from the flowing Paris, and Marion Cotillard (-) "Woody explained it patiently. It was absolutely impossible to meet twice before. "But I must admit, you are an interesting guy."
This is the third time Woody repeats the same sentence.
"Is it because I'm so bored that I don't have a better adjective; or is your brain stopped working tonight, and it's the same sentence over and over again?" Lan Li was not humble or flattered, but responded in a mocking way. Past.
Not only was Woody not angry, but he gently closed his jaw, with an expression of "it is so", as if he was very satisfied with Lan Li's response, "I can use this line in the script of'Midnight Paris'. But it's a pity."
The rest of the words did not say, but the meaning couldn't be more obvious: the timing was wrong, so Lanly missed the opportunity to cooperate, and "Midnight Paris" was screened at this year's Cannes Film Festival.
"If you miss it, it means it's inappropriate. There is nothing to be a pity." Lan Li shrugged slightly, but after finishing speaking, his expression condensed, "Is my purpose achieved? Is this the most appropriate tone of speech "The subtext is saying: The answer just now is a routine, not deliberately flattering, but chose tit-for-tat, like a clear stream, among the actors who are constantly pleasing Woody, can they stand out?
When Lan Li said it in such a joking and self-deprecating tone, he was actually teasing Woody. He is always used to being surrounded by others and looking at him with longing and admiration. This is one of the reasons why he dislikes Los Angeles. Vanity fair.
Woody pursed the corners of his mouth, "You are not the first. I believe it will not be the last." The motionless generals returned the ridicule to Lan Li, "We should stop this conversation. Because you are becoming tacky and boring, this is not a good sign." Woody, who was bitter and mean, immediately gave Lan Li a knife and shook his head and moved forward.
When he walked to Lanly, he seemed to think of something, and then stopped, "Is this album'Don Quixote' your idea? I know it's not George Slander, nor Stanley Chalson. of."
"George's idea, my creation." Lan Li was not humble, but he was not proud, telling the truth.
This sentence made Woody deep in thought, and he sighed meaningfully, "God, if you were born in the sixties, it is such a wonderful thing." After the end, Woody said. He patted Lan Li's arm, put his hands behind him, staggered out of the bar, and walked away.
Watching Woody's back, Lan Li's thoughts couldn't help but diverge. He can taste the sorrow and regret in Woody's words, as well as the expectation and satisfaction hidden behind Woody's words.
Lan Li has always known that Woody is a stubborn and proud little old man. He is a rare literati in Hollywood - not an artist, but a narcissistic, self-love, full of ink but full of complaints; Lan Li also knew that Woody played the saxophone in the bar every Monday, deeply cherishing the glory of jazz in the 1950s. But he did not expect that the album "Don Quixote" could touch the softness of Woody's heart.
The seemingly boring nonsense just now hides Woody's approval. This was unexpected before the album was released.
It's ridiculous to say that Lanly and Woody have only met three times, never cooperated, and even the opportunity never appeared. The longest conversation was just this paragraph. But faintly, Lanly felt friendship in Woody, as if...just like George, just like Stanley.
Shaking his head with a chuckle, this kind of sentimental and wishful thinking is best to stop there.
Walking through the crowd and coming to the bar, you can see Neil, who is very busy, with a cheerful smile on his face. From time to time, he chats with the guests for a word or two, but he is not idle at all in his work. The posture has become a habit. Lan Li couldn't help but looked around, not sure whether he should roll up his sleeves, regain his old career, and help.
At this moment, a graceful girl came over, squatted on the bar, and shouted, "Bartender, bartender!" She had a capable short hair, highlighted in conspicuous green, and her short-sleeved top was exposed. There is a beautiful rose tattoo on her left arm. The deep facial features are feminine and feminine, but the short hair style and bright makeup burst out a boyish handsome and handsome, let alone smearing There is still a cigarette in my right hand with black nail polish.
Mixed between the two people, the position was a bit crowded. She turned her head and raised her chin towards Lan Li. "Man, leave a little room, how about?" Instead of waiting for Lan Li to respond, she didn't wait for Lan Li to give way. Exuding a look of surprise, "Hey, you are Lan Li, right? The protagonist of the party tonight?"
After recognizing Lan Li, she simply turned around, with a playful smile on her face, and looked at Lan Li seriously, "What should I say~lightnovelpub.net~ You and the picture on the look Something is different, but you are the same image as I imagined in my mind." She held the cigarette to her mouth and nodded contentedly, "Man, honestly, I don’t like this album. In terms of folk songs, I don’t think anyone can surpass Bob Dylan. Your lyrics are still not good enough. But brother, I admire your courage! Just this is worthy of my admiration! How about, can I invite you to have a drink and enjoy your face? ?"
"My honour." The smile at the corner of Lan Li's mouth rose involuntarily, not because of the other's praise, but because of the other's immaturity. Although she exudes a mature temperament, the youthfulness of her face cannot be concealed at all. Lan Li can bet that she has not yet reached the legal age for drinking—it is 21 in the United States.
This answer made the girl raised her eyebrows and patted the table hard, "This is another reason why I like you! I just like this. It's so much better than those men with mothers-in-laws. They always It's insistence, that a man must invite a woman to drink, what is the reason?" The girl called again, "Bartender, here, here!"
Neil finally came over, and the girl said boldly, "Seven bottles of Heineken! Hurry up!"
Neil nodded, looking for Heineken beer, while looking up for a conversation, he saw Lan Li standing next to him, and his expression suddenly became clear, "Jesus Christ, why don't you come here tonight, why don't you inform Stan in advance?" Lee just said that you may not have time to come over this time." After talking about a lot of machine guns, before Lan Li responded, Neil climbed up the bar with one step and shouted, "Guys ! Guys! Let us warmly welcome the protagonist who has performed miracles this week, Lan Li-Hall!"
In the hustle and bustle, the bustling shouts began to rise one after another: Lan Li! Blue gift! Blue gift!
