Chapter 150 Hollywood Pursuit
After Feng Lan came out of that building, she did not return to the Tianlong Hotel and drove alone to the headquarters of Tianlongmen in Los Angeles: Fugui Villa.
After nearly a hundred years of operation, this villa is well-defended and can be called a copper wall. Here, because it is in the rich area of Los Angeles, the surrounding area is not rich or noble, but it is used to such as Fugui Villa and does not attract attention. As the owner of Tianlongmen Xingtang, Feng Lan naturally has his own power here.
After a close examination, Feng Lan walked back to her room uncertainly. After withdrawing the others, he sat alone at the head of the bed, and his face was uncertain. Finally, he made up his mind and dialed a number. Within a few minutes, a girl came in and bowed.
When Feng Lan saw the girl, there was a trace of regret on her face. She sighed secretly and whispered her beside her. For a long time, the girl took a step back and said respectfully, "I will follow the order of the Lord." He took two steps back, turned around and walked out. If Zhang Ping was here, he would be stunned by his eyes. This girl is Wang Lan, who has no news for a long time.
Since the last engagement banquet, Zhang Ping has also contacted Wang Lan several times, but it has been turned off. This surprised him very much. He asked several classmates, but they didn't know. Finally, Li Lanxing, who had gone to the United States, said vaguely on the phone: Wang Lan has come to the United States with her boyfriend. It seems that she is studying at which university, and usually doesn't have much contact with others. Slowly, the relationship between classmates faded. Even this news was learned by Li Lanxing by chance.
Since then, Zhang Ping has cut off the idea of contacting Wang Lan. Later, things were also chaotic, and they circled among several women, and naturally slowly forgot Wang Lan.
At this time, Zhang Ping did not know that Wang Lan was at the headquarters of Tianlongmen. He was still enthusiastically calling several old classmates in the hotel. While laughing, he also mentioned Wang Lan's news, which was not very clear, which made Zhang Ping feel a little frustrated. However, the fresh feeling of being in a foreign country soon put him into the ranks of curiosity, just like Grandma Liu. He was full of curiosity about everything in the United States, and he was especially interested in the famous Hollywood at home and abroad.
In order to allow employees to better devote themselves to their work, Feng Lan has announced on the plane that she will have a three-day holiday after arriving in the United States, so that everyone can have a good time, and then they must concentrate on their work. Zhang Ping has been making arrangements for these three days of vacation.
When he was still in China, Zhang Ping agreed with Blue Star's girlfriend Sun Ni that after arriving in the United States, the first thing to visit was Hollywood, and Sun Ni would be the tour guide.
However, the plan will never catch up with the changes. Early the next morning, Zhang Ping received a phone call from Sun Ni, saying that her tutor had a temporary meeting, and she had to attend as an assistant, so she could not accompany him. However, in order to make up for him, he invited him to have a big meal in the evening and introduced a mysterious guest. He also laughed mysteriously and said that it would definitely bring a big surprise to Zhang Ping.
No matter how big the surprise is, it has to wait until the evening. Now, Zhang Ping decided to hang out in Hollywood according to the original plan. Humph, without a tour guide, don't I have legs and no mouth? Maybe there will be some surprises?
In Zhang Ping's mind, Hollywood is a paradise with too many dreams of stars. It has the world's top entertainment industry and luxury brands, leading the highest level of global fashion. However, when it came to the legendary Avenue of Stars, Zhang Ping felt very disappointed.
On both sides of the slightly dilapidated street, the shops seem lifeless, which is far from the feeling of the most fashionable and trendy stores of the times. Not to mention the vitality and intoxicated, they even feel that they are not as prosperous and noisy as Huaihai Middle Road in Zhonghai City.
However, when Zhang Ping found the starlight footprints of Wu Yusen and others, he was still a little excited. He is the third Chinese star to enter Hollywood after Bruce Lee and Jackie Chan, and is also the only Chinese director to leave a mark on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
So far, there is no film that can match the status of "Heroes" in Zhang Ping's mind, the friendship that can't be measured by anything, the brothers who cherish each other, and their own unshakable principles of being. In an extremely confident way, John Woo permeates the unspeakable romance in the violent world. The gorgeous and controllable shots, the refined dialogue and the dance-like gunfight are fascinating. The life-and-death battle at the end of the film in the church can represent the essence of the aesthetics of violence: the statue of the Virgin Mary reflected in the candlelight, the white pigeons passing by *, a pair of life-and-death friends who should not be friends, and jointly carry out the justice in their own minds.
As John Woo said, "This is what I want to express most with the lens. Philosophical movies and knightly protagonists also express the ideals in my heart."
Since the development of Hollywood, although Wu Yusen's works "Broken Arrow", "Changing Face" and "Mission Impossible Series" are still well received, Zhang Ping feels that they are all sequels of heroes. Although their skills are more mature, they do not have the loneliness and romance of Brother Ma.
Zhang Ping remembered the long-standing old film and continued to wander forward with a trace of melancholy. When she turned a corner, suddenly a scream came from behind her. She turned her head and looked at her, but a foreign girl was running in his direction exaggeratedly, shouting, "Help, help!" Shortly after her, three black Americans were chasing after her.
Wow, this is too exaggerated. There is a scene of fighting and killing in broad daylight, but why can't I see the camera? Zhang Ping stood on the side of the street and observed the good scene of chasing and killing with great interest.
The woman ran to Zhang Ping and said breathlessly, "Help, someone is going to kill me!"
Zhang Ping was very strange and looked around curiously. He didn't know what the plot was. Was it not a movie, but a reality show? These days, for the sake of ratings, all kinds of strange tricks can be used, especially in Hollywood, and there are various possibilities.
So Zhang Ping lowered his voice curiously and asked the woman, "What kind of scene are you shooting? Is it a reality show?"
The woman was stunned and was about to speak when she saw the three black people behind her getting closer and closer. Her face turned pale and hid in the next shop in a panic. Zhang Ping was still wondering. The three black people had chased him and shouted fiercely at Zhang Ping, "Chinese, where did that woman go?"
Zhang Ping had an idea and pointed forward without saying anything. The three black men looked at each other and chased in the direction Zhang Ping said. At this time, Zhang Ping felt that it was not what he thought. This was not filming, but a real pursuit. Looking at the black man's tattoo and the murder weapon on his body, Zhang Ping will never misread it.
Seeing that the three black people had gone away, the foreign girl came out hesitantly and thanked Zhang Ping. Zhang Ping was about to ask what had happened when he suddenly saw the three black people turning back, shouting something and running here.
Zhang Ping didn't want to cause trouble. He took the foreign girl and ran away. After passing through a few alleys, he finally got rid of the three black people, which gave him a chance to ask about the whole story.
It turned out that this foreign girl's name is Kelly. She is a British student. She came to UCLA last year, majoring in advertising. Today, I came to Hollywood for a visit. I didn't expect to be robbed. She kicked the other party's boss in a hurry. As a result, she was chased and killed by these people. Fortunately, she met Zhang Ping and helped her escape.
Seeing her flashing words, Zhang Ping knew that what she said was not necessarily the truth, but everyone had their own secrets. How could he care about that, so he politely said goodbye. Kelly also reached some of Zhang Ping's identity*. He smiled strangely, but stopped Zhang Ping and said that he was afraid of meeting those people again. He hoped that Zhang Ping could hang out with her. Anyway, he was bored alone, just as a free guide.
Zhang Ping thought so. It was meaningless for a person to hang out like this, so he agreed, but he didn't notice the trace of pride in Kelly's eyes.
When drinking coffee together, Zhang Ping had time to take a closer look at Kelly who fell from the sky. In fact, Kelly is very good-looking, with bulging front and back, especially the unique buttocks of Westerners, which are more charming than oriental women. There are a few tiny freckles on the face, but they are not damaged by the beautiful face. A blonde hair falls on the shoulders, floating with the shaking of the head, which has a unique flavor.
"Are you stupid? Do you think I'm beautiful?" Kelly did not have the slightest shyness and asked Zhang Ping generously.
Zhang Ping smiled awkwardly, nodded, and dared not speak.
"Ha ha, when I was in London, I made a temporary guest appearance as a model for a few days. If it weren't for my family, I would rather not go to this university." Kelly said with a smile, and then his eyes turned, took Zhang Ping's hand and asked, "Look at your hand, slender and white. It looks like you are touching the piano, right? It is said that many Chinese people like to play the piano.
Zhang Ping sweated: "I don't know the piano. This hand is almost the same as playing billiards. It's difficult to get to the elegant hall."
When Kelly heard the word billiards, he was inexplicably excited and said proudly, "Oh, you can also play billiards. I like it, too. Why don't we play two shots now?"
Zhang Ping was stunned. When he arrived in Hollywood, Los Angeles, he came to play billiards. His head would not be broken, and he would refuse her. The girl opposite looked at him with a little push, smiled, casually took off half of the blouse outside, exposed half of his fragrant shoulders, leaned forward, and asked delicately, "Go and play two shots. I like snooker best."
Zhang Ping's heartbeat suddenly accelerated. This woman is really charming. Staring at the half-deposed crisp chest in front of him, Zhang Ping couldn't help swallowing two mouthfuls of saliva, and he was moved. A ** picture suddenly appeared in his mind: a uniformed beauty leaned on the billiard table, her legs wrapped around the club, blurred her eyes, and her pink tongue slightly licked her red lips, which was more seductive.
Noticing the change in Zhang Ping's expression, Kelly was secretly proud. Humph, as long as he was a man, he would not fall out of the hook. Looking at this greedy bear, he must be a playboy in China. He is timid to me. I'm afraid that you can't touch half of my hair even if you are pierced with a thorn.
So, under the leadership of Kelly, Zhang Ping slowly walked into a nearby leisure club. It doesn't look very big from the outside, but when I walk in, I find that there is another world. There are also many billiard tables, but most of them are fancy, but there are only three ball tables for snooker.
