"Dear passengers, United Airlines flight UA087 from Shanghai/Hai/Pu/Dong International Airport to New York's Norwalk International Airport is now ready for boarding. Please go to Gate D85 for boarding."

"Customer Li Changchun, customer Li Changchun, the boarding gate of Virgin Atlantic VS251 from Shanghai/Hai/Pu/East to London Heathrow is about to close. Please go to boarding gate F45 immediately. Customer Li Changchun, what you are The boarding gate of Virgin Atlantic VS251 from Shanghai/Hai/Pu/East to London Heathrow is about to close. Please go to gate F45 to board the plane immediately."

...

The sound of broadcast announcements continues to reverberate in the spacious airport space, showing the busyness and prosperity of the international airport. The interlaced Chinese and English broadcasts appear to be cordial and familiar; and the regular and square Chinese characters in the line of sight are accompanied by English instructions. It is telling every passenger who has just landed that their footsteps have come to the land of China with a brilliant history and civilization.

Lan Li just sat quietly and comfortably on the sofa bench, watching enthusiastically the people coming and going outside the VIP box. All kinds of people still have the all-encompassing characteristics of an international airport, but they have yellow skin, black hair and black eyes. However, the image of ”clearly dominates the mainstream, and outlines a unique scene belonging to the Asian land.

He had imagined more than once that he would set foot on this land again, but he couldn't help being a little bit close to nostalgia.

After all, he is no longer Chu Jiashu, but Lanli-Hall. From appearance to image to identity, Lanli-Hall is a stranger. When he comes back to this homeland again, he is the guest in the eyes of others; And everything he used to be familiar with is now no longer what Chu Jiashu saw. The mixed emotions made him never make up his mind to return to this land.

Until today.

After "Gravity" was officially finalized, Warner Bros. successfully obtained the qualification for the film to be released in the mainland, and confirmed the film's release schedule in various regions in Asia, and has high hopes for overseas box offices.

Many previous works have already proved the strong box office appeal of Lanly in overseas markets, especially in Asia, which is even more impressive. This also makes Warner Bros. correspondingly arrange Asian promotional itineraries, including Tokyo. , Seoul, Hong Kong/Hong Kong and Magic City, and other cities, hope to drive "gravity" overseas box office.

After the premiere meeting in Tokyo and Seoul, Lan Li's footsteps came to the third stop: the magic city.

In his last life, his university was here.

He lived here for four years and suffered a car accident again; later, because he could not afford the hospital expenses, he and his mother returned to the hospital in their hometown in the south and spent the rest of their lives.

In the long night of lying in the hospital bed, he had thought countless times, if he returned to this land of this city, what his mood would be and what situation he would be like; but among the countless kinds of thoughts, there are thousands of times. I didn't expect that when I came back again, I was already a human being and the vicissitudes of life.

Those hesitations and hesitations, those resentments and sadness, those irritable and unwilling... Now they have all turned into flowing water, completely forgotten in the past.

When flying over the Pacific Ocean from Los Angeles, Lanly had a long, long dream on the plane, dreaming of the school time of the previous life again.

Leaving the small county town where he had lived all his life, he left his hometown and came to the magic city to study at university. Although he finally got rid of his mother's supervision and restraint, the living habits formed over the years still allow him to learn and live step by step; but, occasionally, very, very occasionally, he secretly gives himself a vacation.

Sitting in the corner of the aisle in the library, flipping through boring fast food novels, or flipping through gossip entertainment magazines, even if it is only an hour, it is also the happiest and most pleasant day in life, even if it penetrates the glass A beam of sunlight falling in the palm of the palm is so lifelike, just like another world.

He thought that the memories of his previous life were always painful and struggling, but in fact he also secretly had his own little happiness.

After waking up from his sleep, the corners of his mouth still wore a shallow smile. He couldn't help but start thinking, if there was no shooting experience of "Burst Drummer", he would have completed the transformation; if not now, but three months ago ; If he still has not been able to completely let go of the past and refuse to reconcile with himself...Does he still have the courage to set foot on this land again?

He didn't know the answer, and he would never know it.

But he was thankful that he was back after all.

At this moment, Lan Li sits quietly on the spot. There is no need to worry about it. The memory fragments naturally slowly emerge. There are all good and bad things, but there is a kind of relief and calmness after the time has passed, and even can’t help it. I miss those years, but those sesame mung bean-like things are bigger than the green years.

When Andy ended the call and returned to his position, what he saw was the scene in front of him, but in the past few months he has become accustomed to it, and they can clearly perceive that Lanly is quietly changing.

In fact, the impression of Lan Li has always been warm and kind. The elegant and decent gentleman’s demeanor can always bring a feeling of spring/wind, but hidden behind the mask that advances and retreats properly, it builds She lived in an invisible barrier, and kept everyone else out in a cold and detached manner.

Occasionally, inadvertently, I can still capture the slight gloom between the eyebrows, which is like a lingering smoke.

Now Lanli is still the familiar gentleman, but the blue smoke entwined between the eyebrows is slowly dissipating, like the early summer sun, with dry water vapor and lush greenery, even When I heard the sound, I became pleasant and cheerful, and I could smell the smell of sunlight when I closed my eyes.

Andy and Roy didn't understand the truth, but they were really happy for Lan Li. Outside of work, they are also friends.

Andy sat down diagonally across from Lanly. He didn't directly start talking about business, but curiously said, "What is your level of Chinese? How does it compare to French and German? You know, for us, Chinese is It’s really too difficult. From pronunciation to fonts, it’s a bible book."

"For Americans, aren't all languages ​​other than English a heavenly book?" Lan Li's complaints were so sharp that Andy was dumbfounded, and the smile on Lan Li's mouth rose, "Why, there is a media appointment. I have an interview, do you want to test my Chinese proficiency level?"

"So, are you at a testable level?" Andy asked enthusiastically.

However, Lan Li thought of a joke, "Did you know? Those who are native English speakers take the official English level test, but their scores are not very good, and may even be far lower than those who need to take the test; but they really started to use it. When it comes to language, the positions of the two sides are reversed."

The language test is to test the candidate's system of language structure and grammar use, while language use is a measurement of living habits and thinking styles. These are two relatively independent systems.

It can be understood that candidates whose mother tongue is Chinese must still think in the Chinese mode. When taking the test, you can choose the correct answer by analyzing the language structure; but in actual use, the difference in thinking mode inevitably brings barriers.

Therefore, many Asian students are like this. The language test can get high scores, but they may not be able to use the language proficiently. However, many European students may be able to use a language proficiently, but the test scores are often not good. . This is mainly the result of differences in educational methods, educational content, and language positioning.

Andy was slightly stunned, "You mean, your test scores will not be very good, but you can speak fluent Chinese?" After making a judgment, Andy showed a look of disgust, "If It’s not that I’m familiar with you, I think you’re bragging."

Lan Li shrugged, noncommittal.

The smiley face made Andy pause for a moment: Is it true that Lan Li is really bragging? But Andy also knew that no matter what Lanly's answer was, it seemed that it was not quite right. In order to avoid being led into the pit, he decided to cut off the topic in advance and return to business.

"It was Thomas Tour's call just now." Andy said concisely, and then caught Lan Li's slightly puzzled look, and had to add an explanation, "Legendary Pictures.'Jurassic Park'."

Lan Li expressed his understanding with a slight chin.

"Universal Pictures has formally approved the discussion internally, 20 million US dollars plus a 6% box office dividend ~ www.novelhall.com~ They are willing to nod and agree to the contract." After Andy finished speaking, he quietly stared at Lan. Li seems to be waiting for a response, but when he sees that Lan Li is not moved at all, he seems to have no reaction at all, "What do you think?"

"Your opinion?" Lan Li didn't say much, but asked rhetorically.

"We should refuse." Andy said affirmatively.

Lan Li didn't seem to be surprised, and gently chinted again.

Andy shook his head helplessly. After all, he took the initiative to say, "I just refused on the phone. I don't think Thomas has given you enough respect and suggested that they find another suitable actor. Then Thomas immediately changed his words and agreed. I got a 10% box office dividend, but I still didn’t agree. I just said that I should ask your opinion."

"Thomas has no sincerity. He always lacks respect. In my opinion, I have already stated the bottom line before, and Universal Pictures has already confirmed the final idea through discussion; but Thomas still uses the phone to test, this kind of cooperation The attitude is really unsatisfactory."

"Wait... Did you already know it?" Andy flashed in his mind and suddenly realized something was wrong.
