Xiangjiang old events [entertainment circle]

From Hong Kong Kowloon, where the steel forest has just taken shape, to the vicinity of Mount Glenn in New Jersey, Su Yun had the illusion that her trip by plane was extremely magical, as if she was descending from the urban-rural fringe in the blink of an eye. Came to the big countryside...

After all, the contrast between sparsely populated areas and large and sparsely populated areas is indeed too stark.

It took three days to ask someone to check Kubrick's current location, and it took another day for the plane to fly from Xiangjiang to New Jersey; Yun has three and a half days left.

When you come out of the airport, you can still see some high-rise or large and medium-sized buildings with a large area. When the taxi slowly drives from the expressway to the ordinary road, the "miniature steel jungle" composed of houses on both sides of the road becomes a real one. plant jungle.

In this world, humans and plants always seem to be competing for land. If you are strong, I will be weak, and if you are weak, I will be strong.

After the gray tones of cement and steel were replaced by various shades of green of plants, some colorful self-built low houses gradually appeared in the large expanse of green.

It seems that their target town has finally arrived.

After settling down in the only small family-style hotel in this unknown town, Su Yun, who had sorted out the preliminary plan, and Lin Jingying, followed the guidance of the guide uncle to a small wooden house in the forest on the hillside. Group over there.

According to the news sent by the private detective, the reason why Kubrick suddenly came to live in this small town temporarily from England, where he had settled down for many years, was because his youngest daughter Vivienne suffered from a high fever some time ago, and the hospital wanted to reduce the fever as soon as possible. Body temperature and abuse of drugs for allopathic treatment.Therefore, after Vivienne recovered from the high fever, her illness turned into a stubborn nocturnal cough.

In order to cure the illness of the youngest daughter, Kubrick asked his wife to stay in England to take care of the eldest daughter, while he came to this small town with his youngest daughter and nanny, looking for an old doctor in the small town for treatment, because Rumor has it that the old doctor is very good at treating coughs.

When Su Yun and the others came around the wooden house, it was already past three in the afternoon.

Under the shade of the trees outside the wooden house, a chubby middle-aged Caucasian aunt is holding a broom, humming a light tune while vigorously sweeping the fallen leaves. In addition, her face is also peaceful and kind, and she does not seem difficult to approach.

It seems that this should be the nanny brought by Kubrick to take care of daily life.

"Hello, is this the home of Mr. Stanley Kubrick?" Su Yun stepped forward and asked.

The aunt stopped cleaning, with a bit of doubt in her eyes: "Who are you?"

"We are from Warner Bros. Entertainment. We have a movie project and we want to talk to Mr. Kubrick." At this moment, Su Yun couldn't come out, so she winked and asked the guide uncle to come forward and answer the aunt The problem.

Warner is a well-known big company in Europe and the United States, and if they talk about them, they are basically not afraid that no one will know them.

Sure enough, when she heard that it was someone sent by Warner Corporation to discuss the movie project with her boss, the aunt's vigilance relaxed a lot: "You guys came here at a bad time. Mr. Kubrick drove her to a hospital elsewhere, and she will not be back until noon tomorrow."

"Thank you, then we will come back at noon tomorrow." The guide uncle hurriedly thanked the aunt.

Hearing this, Auntie shook her head hastily: "No, even if Mr. Kubrick comes back, there is a high probability that he won't see you—he recently had a new inspiration, saying that he wanted to shoot some puppet figures, all day long Besides taking care of Vivienne, I just make puppets and draw pictures everywhere..."

"His temper was not very good when he was creating. During this time, even Vivian and I didn't dare to disturb him, otherwise he would get very irritable and angry once his thoughts were disturbed."

"If it weren't for Vivian's sudden illness this time, he would definitely not have left the job at hand."

"If you bother him during this period of time, even if you can talk about it, it will become impossible to talk about it."

Finally, after thanking the kind aunt for telling them this information, Su Yun and the others walked back with a sullen face.

New inspiration, puppet people...

It seems that the movie Kubrick is conceiving is undoubtedly the "Artificial Intelligence" that she also wants to make.

It is said that Kubrick had the idea of ​​shooting this movie in the early 70s, but because the computer animation technology in the 70s was not mature enough, the post-production special effects could not produce the effect he wanted; "The filming plan was put on hold, and the filming plans for other films were prepared instead.

After finally waiting for "Jurassic Park" to be released in 94, Kubrick saw that the computer animation technology barely met the requirements in his mind. When he started preparing for the filming work again, he encountered another obstacle-the post-production The huge budget and changes in the plot almost repulsed this restart plan after more than ten years.

After various considerations, Kubrick planned to be the producer of the film himself, and then invited his old friend Steven Spielberg to direct his long-awaited "Artificial Intelligence".However, at that time, Spielberg was unable to agree to the invitation because of the popularity of "Jurassic Park" and was entangled in film contracts. So this ill-fated film was once again shelved by Kubrick.

A few years later, in 1999, Kubrick, who had just finished filming "Eyes Wide Shut", died of a heart attack in his sleep before he had time to reboot "Artificial Intelligence", which he had obsessed with for a long time.

A year later, driven by everyone's requests and fulfilling the wishes of old friends, Spielberg deliberately vacated his schedule and took over the writing and directing of this story nearly 30 years ago.

Then in 2001, this movie, which had been conceived in the early 70s, finally met the world in the cinema.

It seems that after a genius falls, there will always be someone who wants to fulfill their wish that they could not fulfill when they were alive.

Her master Lu Shaolong is like this, and so is Kubrick, the god of movies.

But with her as a variable in this world, maybe these two lost last wishes will not become lost wishes.

"What should we do now, go to the hospital to find someone?" Lin Jingying couldn't help but say something along the way.

"I know the addresses of all the hospitals around here. There are not many, just four." The uncle of the guide had a professional illness, and immediately rushed to reply.

Su Yun shook her head: "No, that aunt has already said that - if someone forcibly interrupts, maybe what could have been negotiated would become impossible."

Kubrick is notoriously crazy in later generations, and he is also a typical studio tyrant. He must not be able to deal with him in an ordinary way.

Unless it is to let him see some of the special effects she made with his own eyes, and let him know that black technology has already achieved the picture effect he wants.

But the problem is that now it is impossible to go to the door directly and ask him to see it.

"Hey, you bad boys, what are you doing?!" When Su Yun was contemplating, the guide uncle suddenly called out, bringing her thoughts back to reality.

Looking up, Su Yun couldn't help frowning when she saw six or seven teenagers who were already adults bullying a golden retriever who was obviously several years younger than them.

It's okay to bully the small with the big and bully the small with the big, the golden retriever still has a bandage on one of his legs, she is injured!

Not to mention that it is always the duty of martial arts practitioners to eradicate the strong and help the weak. Even the guide uncle can't see their bullying like this, so he rolls up his sleeves and is about to step forward.

That group of teenagers was fine. The only ones who came to stop them were a middle-aged and elderly uncle, and a square-faced young man who was not tall but had a Chinese face—as for Su Yun, the little girl in a pink skirt. , they simply ignored it...

"Hey, don't meddle in other people's business, or you will be taught a lesson together!" A young boy with a golden retriever also stood up as the leader.

While walking over with such an appearance of negotiating, he suddenly shot and pushed the unsuspecting uncle guide violently, pushing him to the ground on the spot.

And because it is located on a hillside and the terrain is not very flat, the guide uncle rolled twice in a row after falling down, and he cried out in pain repeatedly when he fell to a low-lying place.

"I hate bullies the most in my life!" Seeing this, Lin Jingying immediately started to fight back.

The group of teenagers were taken aback: they thought their boss would get rid of the one who seemed the best at fighting right away, but they didn't expect that this Chinese-looking young man with a square face was the best at fighting!

Seeing that three people from his group were knocked down on the spot and couldn't get up, the golden-haired boss rolled his eyes, and his eyes fell on Su Yun who thought that Lin Jingying could carry the whole audience by herself, so she didn't have to help.

Look at this little Chinese girl who looks so sweet and cute and is wearing pink, she should cry for a long time if she slaps her across the face, right?

In the end, before the golden-haired boss slapped, Su Yun, who had perfectly inherited Lu Shaolong's reflexes and speed, had already arrived first, and slapped the golden-haired boss hard on the face, making him dizzy with stars in his eyes. Swelling, uncontrollably falling to the ground.

Immediately afterwards, Su Yun turned her palm into a claw again, and with a martial arts finger she learned from Lu Shaolong, pressed down on the fur hat of the golden retriever boss that was just in front of her because she was kneeling.

After a while, it seemed to be five deep fingerprints.

WTF!

It turns out that this little girl just looks sweet and cute, but in fact, she can unscrew your heavenly cap with her bare hands!

A group of bullying teenagers were scared out of their wits by this scene, crying and pulling wildly, rolling and crawling away.

Seeing that Lin Jingying went to check on the uncle guide's injuries, Su Yun also stepped forward to help the bullied golden retriever from the ground.

"Are you okay? Are you injured?" Su Yun asked.

"It's okay, thank you..." The Golden Retriever's expression must have become natural, and Su Yun felt a little distressed when she saw it: If I had known this was not the first offense, then she should have been more serious just now!

Those who engage in bullying should be taught a good lesson, let them know that there is still justice in this world!

During the simple conversation, Su Yun knew that the Golden Retriever's name was Tom, because her mother married her stepfather, so she transferred to Glen Ridge Middle School here.

When he was healthy before, he was not so easy to be bullied; until he accidentally broke his knee recently, the nightmare seemed to follow.

While recuperating from illness, the school teacher felt that he had a talent for acting, so he was asked to perform as the protagonist of the school's musical, but unexpectedly, this extraordinary promotion caused some people's dissatisfaction.

He has a dyslexia problem, the speed of reading script text is not as good as normal people, so when he took time to read the script in the small forest near his home to rehearse alone, those who were dissatisfied with him came over.

He couldn't even hide, otherwise those people would directly attack his injured leg, making him aggravated the injury and unable to play the leading role.

Therefore, he could only come here with his injured leg every day, accepting insults and whippings from this group of people without obvious traces.

"I love acting...I won't give up!" said Tom, biting his lip.

This made Su Yun extremely angry: it was obvious that these people directly attacked Tom's injured leg, so they used mental abuse to prompt Tom to no longer act as the leading role.

Perhaps it was unexpected that Tom was so stubborn, so the methods of abuse became more and more severe.

"You try to finish tomorrow's performance as much as you can, and then you can sue your parents, teachers, whatever. You can't be bullied in silence like this anymore. I can only help you once, not forever." Before leaving, Su Yun After thinking about it for a while, he finally had to say so.

I don't know if Tom will listen to her, but in this case, unless he survives or seeks help, it will always be endless.

Just like her exhortations, she has a kind heart but is not a Bodhisattva who saves suffering. She can only help for a while, not for a lifetime.

After returning to the hotel with the help of the guide uncle, Lin Jingying, who had learned some bruises because of her martial arts training since she was a child, gave him a brief look, and after confirming that it was only a slight sprain, she helped the guide uncle to fix it: "It's not a problem, you Just rest for two days."

"But aren't you planning to go to the amusement park to find someone? What if there is no guide?" The guide uncle was a little worried: not only because he was worried that the guests would not understand the way, but also because he would be fired because of this injury.

Su Yun saw what the guide uncle meant, and thought that the guide uncle was not bad and that the amusement park was one of the nearby landmarks, so she said, "Anyway, that amusement park is more famous, so we can just take a taxi there. And I can speak English."

After allaying the guide uncle's worries, Su Yun took Lin Jingying, who planned to take the opportunity to meet her senior brother, and took a taxi to the entrance of the amusement park.

It is indeed the largest and most luxurious amusement park in the vicinity. Even if it is not a holiday, there are many tourists and small vendors in it, and even saw a lot of exotic clothes.

Among these exotic styles, Su Yun probably only recognizes a young girl wearing a kimono, a middle-aged lady wearing a cheongsam, and a group of mixed men and women wearing long clothes that may be from India or the Middle East... As for other strange and weird things , it is really unrecognizable.

"Your senior brother said that you are setting up stalls here?" Su Yun asked.

"Yes, it's just that I didn't expect there to be so many stalls here..." Lin Jingying looked at the small stalls everywhere, feeling a little helpless, "I forgot to ask what he was selling at the time."

"What does your brother look like?" Su Yun asked again.

"He received funding and went abroad at a very young age. We haven't seen each other for a long time. I don't know what he looks like now. Maybe you can only recognize him when you see him..." Lin Jingying thought for a while, "But he was The tallest one in our troupe, so at that time he practiced the old students, and I practiced the Huadan."

In front of this senior brother, an extremely manly man like Uncle Ying can only play Huadan...

So Su Yun instantly imagined a burly man who was at least two meters tall.

"I'll go over to the bridge to have a look, you can rest here for a while." Seeing Su Yun walking, her forehead was sweating, and Lin Jingying, who knew that children's physical endurance was not as good as that of an adult like herself, left Su Yun behind. On the stone seat on the side of the bridge.

Su Yun glanced at a small ice cream stall not far away, and then at the scorching sun in the middle distance, feeling lazy and sick, she decided to endure it.

Finally, a gust of cool wind blew by, and Su Yun raised her head.

However, it didn't cool down a few times, but it was already blinded by the sand mixed in the wind.

No one was around to help blow it, so Su Yun had no choice but to rub her eyes.

In a round of light and dark, when the light was regained again, I saw a strawberry ice cream that looked very cool and attractive came in front of me.

However, what is more amazing than the ice cream is the deep eyebrows and outline of the young man holding the ice cream.

It is obviously a handsome facial features with a Chinese charm, but it completely runs counter to the restrained and gentle beauty in the traditional Chinese impression.But in addition to being domineering and flamboyant, the slightly downward eyebrows and eye corners also gave people a melancholy and stern feeling.

But at this time, he was smiling happily, as if the sunlight between the sky and the earth had melted into the slightly raised corner of his lips. After the desolate eyes became a little more tender, they became like the warm spring scenery after the snow melted and the ice melted in the sky. People's mood also wants to be happy.

"Okay, stop crying." He said softly, and then passed the strawberry ice cream forward, "I'll give it to you, eat something sweet, and you'll feel better."

Looking at this familiar T-shirt, this person must be the owner of the ice cream stall across the street that she didn't bother to go to buy just now.

It is estimated that they regarded her as a Chinese child who was bullied by other children. With a feeling of fellow countryman, he brought a sweet ice cream to comfort the "crying" little girl.

In order to prevent the good intentions of the well-meaning young boss from being shattered by the reality after knowing the truth... So Su Yun took the strawberry ice cream very naturally: just right, she wants to eat it too.

Out of the corner of her eye, she saw the kimono girl over there seemed to be staring at her, so Su Yun held up a strawberry ice cream and smiled at her: Would you like to buy one?delicious!

Seeing that the young boss took out a tissue and wiped the corners of Su Yun's mouth with a "loving" manner, the girl in kimono smiled and turned her head.

So Su Yun took the tissue away, and her eyes fell back on the face of the kind young boss.

Looking intently at this face that blends the beauty of the East and the West, I feel that my appetite has improved a lot.

I don't know if the slightly sour-sweet strawberry flavor is more appetizing, or it is really appetizing to eat with the beautiful appearance.

Sure enough, when looking at beautiful people or things, the mood will be better.

Just like in the chess quiz in Itchy Mouse, the handsome Yi boss and the ugly frog boss will have different opinions on it.

After all, in this world where everyone looks like a dog, everyone loses the same, but the results are quite different - the handsome boss looks relieved, and the ugly boss gets angrier the more he looks...

This kind and handsome boss should make a lot of money!

When Su Yun was thinking this way, she suddenly heard Lin Jingying's voice: "Brother, so you are here!"

Seeing Lin Jingying and the young boss coming together in surprise, and holding hands and talking affectionately, Su Yun almost threw out the strawberry ice cream in her hand in surprise——

etc!In her mind, what about the burly fellow who can hold down Uncle Ying's aura and is at least two meters tall? !

Taking another look at the tall and slender figure of the young boss, Su Yun, who was holding the ice cream, silently let out a cry that seemed to shake her soul.
