Vol 3 Chapter 26: Japan Performance

The only connection between Alizee and Gong Gong is the inexplicable Ryan Stein who resigned and ran away, okay, or better known as Pu Guanshui. And with Alizee's personality, she will never leave her country with a stranger, and go to a completely strange place, even if this person is her teacher who cares most about that person. But at this moment she appeared in New York and appeared to herself
It is an indisputable fact in the grandpa's villa, then it can only show what happened.
"You've known for a long time, right?" Lili suddenly opened her mouth, and she turned her dim, dark brown eyes to look at herself, her sweet and crisp voice was now extremely jerky.
"If you were referring to his sudden resignation, I did know that long ago." Angela pondered the words. Rarely, she no longer kept silent but could not stimulate anything. "I just ca n’t be sure if you know, so I did n’t The letter states. "
After a pause, he asked carefully, "You haven't written to me since early September. Can I know what happened?"
However, Alizee closed her mouth again and lowered her head to restore her previous silence. Angela was anxious to continue kissing, and Grandpa and Grandma had stepped out of the room.
"So that's it, I'll go back first." Grandpa whispered and embraced grandma again, then glanced at the two girls on the sofa, nodded to Angela and went straight to the door.
Angela looked with surprise at the uncle who left independently. Numerous thoughts began to turn. The anxiety in her heart became more and more powerful. Knowing that her grandmother was holding Emily's hand and holding the little girl's hand softly, she decided for her later. Angela stood up and chased and ran out, the second grandfather had just reached the vestibule.
"Gonggong, please wait!" Angela yelled in Chinese. Gonggong's figure paused and walked two steps, but finally stopped and turned around and looked at her calmly: "What's wrong, Xue Yi? "
When Angela took a deep breath in two steps, she was just the eyes of the old man: "If you can explain what happened, why give the girl to grandma, I don't mean to be disrespectful, but I don't want to Blind in the drum. "
The old man gave her a deep look, sighed softly and patted her shoulder after looking around. "Come here."
Angela followed slowly and walked to a secluded place. The old man seemed to be thinking about something with his hands on his back. After a long time, he turned around: "Xue Yi, you know, there is darkness in the place where there is light. "
Despite the misty water, she did not interrupt the grandfather's speech, but listened to the old man continue to say: "This world is not absolutely fair, so some people are born in the dark and some are growing in the sun. However, from dark to Light is difficult, but it is easy to go from light to darkness. You should live in the sun, you should not have anything to do with these, Angela! "
Listening to the nickname of her own English name, Angela could not help but start a little shock. Although there had been such a speculation long ago, when she heard the old man say it, she had an unspeakable taste.
"So I rarely meet with Martha, so you know some things, don't look for answers." The old man patted her shoulder solemnly again, "That's not what you should be involved with."
"But ... but ..." Angela frowned, but Gong raised his right hand: "I know what you want to say, but it's just difficult to move from darkness to light. He has always done well , Isn't it? In fact, if it wasn't for your bodyguard, he might have been there before ... "
The old man waved his hands sternly, and Angela still frowned. "Why then ..."
"Because there are some things that need them!" Yun Gong immediately took over, "I know you are very smart, Xue Yi, you have read poems and even" The Analects of Confucius, "you can speak Chinese instruments, you can speak fluent Chinese, but you may not be completely Know Chinese culture. "
Angela quickly passed a message in her head that she might ignore, and then smiled bitterly: "Indonesia, right?"
Grandpa looked at her without acknowledging or denying it, but changed the topic: "That girl was his wish, I promised him. But you should now know that she was very inappropriate with me, and that It took a lot of effort to get his custody. After all, we are Chinese, so I brought her to your grandma. This is the best way I can think of. "
Seeing the old man step out of the villa and board the car, Angela was slightly surprised. Although there are still many things hidden in the fog that make her unable to see clearly, it is enough to understand the basic situation, just as the grandfather said that she lives in the sun. She has seen many injustices in past and present lives, but she has never experienced or participated in it, so she still has a pure land of idealists in her heart, so she should not pay attention to those difficult corners, and should not try to repay her.
"Angie, what happened?" Natalie and the three of them came to the vestibule from the garden.
"Nat, Manny, Liv, I may not be able to accompany you anymore today, there is a little problem at home." Angela sighed, and then said things briefly and selectively.
"Is that the girl we saw in Paris two years ago, Alizee?" Natalie held down and asked at the meeting, "So what happened to Ryanstein, and she will drag her over to you." Grandma? "
"I don't know. Grandma refuses to tell me, and I can't help but ask." Angela shook her head.
"Lily is pitiful," Natalie said sympathetically.
"Can you tell us the details? Neither Liv nor I can understand." Scarlett interposed, Liv nodded.
"Well, specifically ..." Natalie also introduced Alizee's family as easily as Angela did.
"That is to say the only person he cares about now. Maybe Angela's previous report may have happened?" Scarlett also showed sympathy, "It is really very unfortunate."
"Otherwise, let's go in and see her," Liv suggested at this time. "It's better for everyone to comfort her than one person."
Although Angela did not think that people would have more strength in this matter, Alizee's character would be more awkward because of this big blow, but she agreed with Liv's proposal. From the current situation, even if it is It's also good to make Lily angry and ship. Ken is better off venting his emotions than in his stomach.
The four girls quickly came to the living room. Grandma used a kind tone and said to Alizee. Although the little girl still held her head with her head held down, she seemed to have never opened her mouth, but Grandma is very patient.
"Grandma, let me do it. Although her English is not a problem in communication, if she speaks a little faster, she may still not understand." Angela whispered in her grandmother's ear.
Grandma looked at her granddaughter and then her friend, and then gently whispered the same forehead: "This is fine, you are all about the same age, and the batch is familiar, it should be easier to solve her."
Four people sat around Lily after grandma left, and Natalie first stretched out her hand: "Hi Lily, do you remember me? We met in Paris two years ago. I didn't expect to meet again here. I just learned about you from Angela. I'm sorry, but I believe this is not the end of your life. "
However, Alizee didn't answer, looked up and gave her a glance, then drew down to hold the backpack tighter, as if the hand in front of her didn't even exist. Several people stared at each other, and Scarlett stretched out her hand: "Hello Alizee, I'm Angela's friend Scarlett? Johnson, you can call me Scarlett or Manny, I think I can Understand your feelings. When my parents divorced, I also felt that my world seemed to collapse, but I still got out of the haze. I can do it like you, right? "
It's a pity that the little girl still didn't say anything. In the end, Liv also stretched out her hand at this time: "Hello, I'm Liv Taylor, although I am older than them, they always It ’s cancelling me. I ’m an illegitimate daughter. I have no formal father since I spoke. If I still grow up, I have a lot of bad things. It ’s better to change my mindset. I ’m like you. Will understand. "
Alizee still didn't say anything, but the surrounding atmosphere had quietly changed, so Angela also extended her hand: "I don't want to say too much, Lily, maybe you didn't have friends before, but it doesn't mean that you will never have friends They and I are willing to be your friends. I'm sorry for this, but I don't think he would like to see you wrapped in ice. "
At last, the girl raised her head. Although Yi Jiumu had no expression on her face, she still reached out and quickly held the four hands in front of her, and then basically walked away in time. Then she lowered her head. But the four women all looked at each other and smiled. Instead of continuing, they talked to each other. As for the topic, they were certain affair. In time, Alizee never spoke and they were still very enthusiastic.
The chat didn't last long, Liv, Scarlett and Natalie, who was going to stay, said goodbye and left, and then Angela took Alizee upstairs to her bedroom, although the girl was no longer a puppet , But still stingy in his own language.
"Sleep with me here tonight, I'll tell my grandma." Angela helped him put his backpack away, then crouched down and gave him a tight hug, "I'm sure you haven't been hugged by someone for a long time Sleeping, right? "
Alize, who was still somewhat resistant, heard this sentence and suddenly stopped her action, and Angela then let go of her eyes that looked at the dark brown and finally restored some angry eyes, and said softly, "Remember" End of Killer? Remember the end of Titanic? "
Although Alizee knew that when she went to bed, she kept this dumbfounded and only occasionally said one or two words, but Angela found the dried on her pajamas and the face buried in her chest the next morning. Thirsty tears,
While comforting, she also thought about a lot of things, especially after seeing Lily waking up and covering her face awkwardly, Angela immediately got up and found her grandmother before breakfast, asking for Alizee to follow her to Boston live.
"Even if I do n’t have her new couple here, I can only count half. Whether it is raising Uncle Dean, Aunt Ruth, or the godfather, it is not good for her to open the knot. When she cried in my arms last night I didn't even hear a bit. If she went to Boston with me, I could always come out to see her and chat with her, just like writing to her at the beginning, it would always open her up. In time, I could n’t come out, and Annie, who attended school with her, can also take care of her. If you are worried about the guardian, you can just take a picture and come and be the housekeeper. "
Although this rhetoric is a bit simple, Grandma still said that she could consider it, so Angela spent the whole morning discussing the feasibility with Grandpa and Grandma, and eventually pulled Alizee back to Boston at night, of course, she went at the same time And Grandpa called Mr. Ranad Barsham, who was preparing to be a housekeeper, to hit a few servants.
Annie, who was left in Boston on Halloween for participating in the school parade, was very happy about it. She originally thought that the villa here was too large and too few people to be empty, but now there are so many people who naturally feel happy. And after stopping Angela to talk about Alizee's affairs, she became sympathetic and took care of the girl without Angela's advice. In time, Alizey still remained expressionless and taciturn.
As for Angela, she found herself in some trouble. Not to mention the female classmates who talked to her more because of her role as Legolas on Halloween, nor about "American Beauty" and "Wing," which are still in production. "Uncompromising", the second day he returned to Boston, he sent from Los Angeles, and accompanied by two Japanese!
"Hello, Mason Xiaojie, I'm Hideo Nakada, it's my pleasure to meet you!" The square-faced middle-aged man with a pair of small eyes bowed to himself, although not a legend Of 90. , But also looks very sincere.
Followed him as a man who bowed next to him, and a man in his thirties with a big beard and a big eyebrow. He introduced: "This is Shimizu Chong. At the same time, he told Mason Xiaojie's The idea is highly respected. "
"Thank you for the compliment. Please let Mr. Zhongtian and Mr. Shimizu go and sit inside." Angela kept the smile and made an inviting gesture, and had to say that their seriousness and respectful appearance really impressed people for the first time.
"Is there anything to order? I have coffee, black tea and green tea here. Of course, green tea is very ordinary and not so particular." Angela asked with a smile after entering the living room.
The two men stared at each other and nodded: "Just coffee."
"Okay, Annie, three cups of latte and one cappuccino." Angela greeted Annie before looking at Nakata and Shimizu: "Mr. Zhongtian came a long way, can you tell me anything?"
"I have discussed with Mr. Ichinose, Mr. Takahashi and Mr. Takahashi, and Shimizu-kun, and Mr. Takahashi and Takahashi respectively acted as producers and screenwriters for" Midnight Bell ", and Shimizu-kun directed it. Be my assistant at all times. "Zhongtian still maintained a serious face.
Angela frowned slightly. She was really unaccustomed to Japanese English, but when she went to Tokyo she found out how good Nakata's English is among ordinary Japanese.
"So in several emails, the opinions of several gentlemen are combined, right?"
"So in several emails, I mean the meaning of several gentlemen, right?" Angela asked.
"It's true." Zhongtian nodded.
"Then Mr. Nakata suddenly came over this time, was he ready to promise my proposal?" Angela said of Spello, who was next to the ticket, and the agent who seemed to be on the side of the line should not be able to stagger the corners of his mouth to see the meaning. Angela raised an eyebrow.
But Nakata coughed and thought about it before opening his mouth: "We were a little curious. Mason Xiaojie actually knew Japanese culture so well. Of course, I didn't mean it accidentally. I have seen your work, especially It's not a horror film, and although you didn't make it, I can still see your talent in it. "
"It's been a prize, Mr. Nakata. Actually, I don't know much about your country's culture. I have only read" Hundred Ghost Nights "and a few ghost stories. I used to look for inspiration from horror stories in East Asia. This year's" "Death is Coming" is the product of this situation. I heard that many shrines and villages in Japan have their own horrors, just like many small towns in the western United States also have unique legends, so naughtily set their sights on Japan After conceiving several times, I watched "The Silent Murderer", and everything was straightened out this time. "Angela had to make a humble appearance," E-mailing you only a few fragments, the story has already been written in several books. It's just that I haven't fully written it down. "
"Although everyone has justice to Miss Mason's idea, they all admit that if it is done well, it should be quite good, even as good as" Midnight Bell "." Saying the serious face that seems to never change in Nakata here cannot help There was a smile, obviously he was very satisfied with his work, and followed him with Qingshui Chong who did not start much: "Qingshuijun likes your idea very much, not only arguing for your idea a few times, but also according to your The snippet is short and complete, and it took a lot of draft shots. "
"Really?" Angela raised an eyebrow. "Can I see if I can?"
"Of course no problem." Zhongtian nodded Eleven Shimizu to take the drawing out of the bag, and then handed it to Angela.
The lines of the draft are very messy, but the content is clearly expressed. The order of numbers is changed at a glance at the bottom. Angela looking at it is a little surprised. This manuscript takes the coconut palm from upstairs like a pillar. The scene of climbing down to the heroine's body, the painter clearly grasped the atmosphere she wanted, no matter the split lens or the basic shape of the task can basically match the picture in her imagination. If it is shot, it should be very strong. The only difference is the blood on his face.
Could this guy be the director he was looking for? Such an idea appeared in Angela's mind, followed by the voice of Nakata: "If you can, can you sell the script to us, Miss Mason?" 2k novel reading network
