When I returned to the apartment, the setting sun had already slanted to the west. Today, the sun in New York is particularly bright, with bright red halos spreading out all over the sky, and even the Hudson River is dyed with a pale gold, magnificent. And magnificent. Many people on the street stopped one after another and took out their phones to capture this wonderful moment.

　　 pushed open the door of the apartment, the bright light spilled down every corner of the hall, so dazzling that people could not open their eyes.

The floor is full of balloons of various colors, and there are two large bags of unblown balloons and a pump on the table; a lot of ribbons and lights are stacked on the sofa, which looks like all the decorations for Christmas They all turned over; there was a big box on the right side of the door, which was full of disposable cups, disposable plates and the like.

　　The atmosphere of the party permeates every corner.

"Lan Li?" Chris's cheerful voice came from the room, "Lan Li! I'm... looking for a suitable costume! I'm hosting a makeup party tonight, how about you join us?" Although Chris stayed in the room, but it did not affect his good mood. The loud voice clearly conveyed the joyful emotions. The sunlight in the room seemed to dance with his words, "Tell me, you must participate. ! You prepare the costume now!"

　　 While talking, Chris rushed out of the room, holding a hollow leather vest in his left hand and a police/survey uniform in his right. "What do you think? Is it a little devil? Or is it a uniform seduction?"

Chris is now wearing a pair of loose shorts, his upper body is naked/naked, and his long blond hair is casually tied into a ponytail, and his hands are held up high with his clothes. Although there is no intentional smile, his eyes sparkle with excitement. Shining in the sunset.

　　 "Little devil." Lan Li raised his right hand and said with a smile. .

Chris' eyes lit up suddenly, "I think so too. How about? What do you plan to dress up tonight? You always have novel ideas that you can't finish thinking. You were not in New York last Halloween, and the party here was much worse. "

　　 "Why do you suddenly remember to have a party?" Lan Li did not answer the question, walked to the sofa set in the middle of the living room, sat down in the single seat next to him, and asked back.

Chris's expression paused, and his eyes dodge a little, "Oh, it's okay...just, I just suddenly want to have a good time." Both hands were put down a little embarrassingly, and he tried to pretend to be relaxed and said, "You I know, I’ve been busy and tight these days. It’s been a long time since I enjoyed the party."

"Indeed, we need to relax a bit." Lan Li chuckled slightly, which made Chris relax slightly, nodding his head in agreement, not wanting, Lan Li went on to say, "It just so happens that I have some good news today. , It’s a good idea to have a party to celebrate. I have received a new work. If nothing else, I will start shooting next week."

　　 Without any pause, Lan Li threw out good news. Chris' facial expression was almost uncontrollably distorted, and his heart felt guilty—Has Lan Li received the new work? What works? Is it a big production? Does the work have anything to do with Paramount? what is the problem?

　　 Without waiting for Chris to clarify a thought, Lan Li went on to say, "I heard in the trade union, you also received a new work?"

Unexpectedly, Chris stepped back unsteadily. "Eh, oh, yes, yes." Chris nodded subconsciously and gave an affirmative answer. He raised his head and glanced at Lan Li. But he saw the pair of translucent eyes, unfathomable, as if he could see the true thoughts in his heart, which made him drop his eyes in a panic, wanting to turn around and flee, but his feet were firmly nailed in place.

　　"Congratulations!" Lan Li showed a big smile and expressed sincere congratulations.

　　 Lan Li didn't know, he wouldn't know, and he couldn't know. Chris tried to persuade himself to regain his composure and avoid leaking his feet. But this is obviously not an easy task, "Thank you. Congratulations too. You have finally confirmed the next work, right? How about it, what is it?"

"An independent film." Lan Li said simply, "but I think it's a good performance opportunity. If it's you, shouldn't you be interested? Or, your agent doesn't want you to take this kind of work. ?" Lan Li said half-jokingly, as the brisk words walked through the sunlight.

　　Ming Ming Lan Li's words couldn't be more normal, but Chris always felt that there was something in Lan Li's words. The feeling of chasing cats and mice made him restless. He didn't like this feeling.

　　 Should I stay and listen to news about Lan Li's new work; or go back to the room to avoid the danger of showing his feet. Chris squeezed out a smile, but it was uglier than crying. He looked back at the door of his room and then at the door in front of the hall, but the chaotic sight did not have a focus, and his brain couldn't sort it out. An idea is simply anxious, extremely anxious.

"...Chris?" Lan Li's voice came from far and near, and suddenly it exploded like a spring thunder in his ears. Chris raised his head reflexively and looked at Lan Li, "Huh? "

"I mean, what kind of work is it this time?" Lan Li sat calmly on the sofa, nestled in the sofa comfortably, and the whole person seemed very relaxed. "You didn't work with Sean Bin last time. Are you going to work with another top actor this time?"

It’s a common question. If you put it in the past, Chris would have talked about it endlessly, but today, he always feels that Lan Li’s eyes can see through all his disguise and see through the secrets in his heart. This feeling is true Too bad, he seemed to be forced to a corner step by step, and the embarrassment made him nowhere to escape.

"...'Thor'." Chris tried to straighten himself up, and replied upright, but after all he lacked confidence. The word "Thor" was vague and almost disappeared in his throat. Really frustrated.

　　 Chris clenched his fists and secretly told himself: You got the role by virtue of strength, no opportunism, absolute strength! At the beginning, Lan Li did not pay enough attention to Thor. Now he must be jealous of receiving this role. This will become the intersection of their two careers. He will continue to climb the peak of his career, and Lan Li can only Struggling in the coterie of independent films. So, now Lan Li regrets and envy, but it is too late.

　　 Anyway, Lan Li will know sooner or later, it is better to let him inform. Lanly’s expressions of surprise and envy came to mind, which made Chris a little calmer, "Thor, I’m going to play Sol, this time I will play with Natalie-Portman (Natalie-Portman), Anthony-Hopkins (Anthony-Hopkins) cooperation." Both are Oscar winners, and the portion is definitely enough.

"Oh? It's a rare opportunity." Lan Li's voice shouted with a slight smile, "Not long ago, I also got an audition invitation from Thor. I didn't expect it to be such a coincidence." Lan Li chuckled lightly. With a cry, "Hollywood is really a small circle, isn't it?"

　　 He got it.

　　 Chris can see the condescending look and scrutiny in Lan Li's eyes, as if he is choosing to stand on the street/***, the kind of disdain and contempt that constantly satirizes his ecstasy. Chris is sure that Lanly already knows the truth. He got the chance to audition after taking Lanly's script. Now, Lanly is sitting aloft like a judge, standing on the moral high ground to judge him. behavior.

　　 In an instant, the humiliation reached its extreme, and a wave of anger spread uncontrollably.

Why, why should Lan Li put on a superior posture, why should he be compelled in front of Lan Li, why Lan Li showed an upright posture of non-cannibalistic fireworks, and why he had to keep his voice low. , He is the one who should be motivated and invincible, isn't he? This is Hollywood. In order to succeed Hollywood without compromise, Lan Li made a choice, and he also made a choice. So why does Lan Li still pose as a victim now?

　　 is ridiculous, how ridiculous.

"Haha." Chris straightened his chest, raised his chin slightly, and his mocking smile couldn't help but spilled out of his mouth. He stood on the commanding heights with his height advantage and looked at Lan Li sitting on the sofa, "Yes. Ah, I got the role, you didn't. So, do you regret it now?"

　　 Chris' reaction surprised Lan Li~lightnovelpub.net~ His eyes closed slightly, and he had never seen Chris like this.

"Do you know? What's even more ironic is that you threw the'Thor' script aside, but it became an opportunity for me to audition and took the role in one go." There was a crazy look in Chris' eyes, that one. The handsome face began to become distorted, "You did not cherish the opportunity, but achieved my success, now you regret it? Are you envious? Are you jealous? Really ridiculous."

　　 Lan Li did not speak, as if he had seen Chris for the first time, he was strange and alienated, with a trace of scrutiny in that calm expression. Maybe they never really knew each other.

Lan Li's calm eyes stung Chris, seeming to be filled with pity and sorrow. The chilling sympathy was like a heavy fist hitting his stomach, which made him jump straight. Get up, roar like a wounded lion, "Don't give me that look! You didn't pay enough attention to it at the beginning! After I took the script, you didn't notice it at all, did you? It means you don't care at all! It's waste use! You are the loser! You don't want to judge me like a saint, you are not a judge, and I am not a criminal! I did nothing wrong, and I owe you nothing, remember? You gave up, you gave up!"

　　 is really shameless. It turns out that a thief can still be so right and upright. It turns out that shamelessness can still be so upright. It turns out that value can be so twisted and tangled.

Lan Li smiled without anger, adjusted his sitting posture, sat up straight, leaned forward slightly, staring at Chris intently, and the two collided in tit-for-tat as if they were Wang Jian Wang, Lan Li said every word. He said suddenly, "You can ask me directly."
