Chapter 392

Holding a mobile phone in his hand, he scanned the street, and then saw Paul standing shivering in the street——

In the cold winter and February in New York, the wind is raging, the weather is freezing, but Paul is just wearing a thin T-shirt, wrapped in a dark brown frock coat, not to mention keeping warm. He can't even keep out the cold. He stands in the same place, stomping his feet, necking into the collar, trying to find a trace of warmth.

"Paul, four o'clock, yellow taxi. I opened the window. Do you see it?" Lanli said to the phone,

Paul looked around and saw the taxi parked on the street. He waved excitedly and ran along the zebra crossing. He trotted all the way and got into the car. The cheerful laughter came to blue's ears, but it was trembling. "Jesus Christ, New York is really another world! I can't believe it! I can't believe it

Although he was complaining, Paul's voice was always cheerful, revealing a little sunshine, which was more abrupt in the ice and snow atmosphere. Especially compared with his embarrassment, it was so disobedient that people could not help laughing.

"Madison Avenue, East ninety seventh street." Lanli said to the taxi driver. Then the taxi started again. Lanli turned to Paul and said, "what's the matter with you? How did you make yourself so embarrassed? "

Paul rubbed his hands hard. Lanli quickly took two cups of hot coffee and handed them to Paul. Paul didn't have time to thank him. He picked up a cup. The hot temperature made him sigh.

Although Paul said on the phone just now that he could hardly feel his toes, Langley bought hot coffee temporarily; But when I saw Paul, the situation was beyond expectation. Paul was so embarrassed that even the tramps living in the subway station were not so bad.

"New York really taught me a lesson." Paul laughed happily. In the face of this situation, he himself felt very funny. "Next week is the Gotham prize. I thought, it should be a good idea to come to New York and surprise you. Everything is going well. I originally planned to go directly to Pioneer Village... Is that the name? "

Paul looked at Langley and got a positive answer before he continued, "go to the Pioneer Village, have a meal, chat with the bartender there, and then call you. But I didn't expect that on the subway, my whole backpack was stolen, my wallet, my bank card and my clothes were all gone. "

"The whole backpack?" Although the problem of thieves and robberies in New York has never been cured, it is very common to lose things on the subway; But it's rare for Paul to lose his entire backpack. "Are you sure it's not a robbery?"

Paul himself couldn't help laughing. "I put my backpack beside me, and then chatted with a middle-aged lady..." before he finished, Paul noticed the speechless light in lanli's eyes. He repeatedly argued, "I must emphasize that she is a lovely lady, just like my mother, and she is very talkative! But when I look back, the backpack is gone. "

Lan Li can't help his forehead.

At the end of the day, it's because New York is different from Los Angeles.

In Los Angeles, there is almost no one to take public transportation. It's not a dislike, but because it's too underdeveloped. A bus has to wait for an hour, and it doesn't necessarily reach its destination directly. Therefore, private cars are indispensable daily necessities for people.

But in New York, mass transit is an indispensable part of life, especially in the subway, the environment of dragons and snakes, naturally can not be taken lightly.

"Fortunately, I took out my mobile phone and was showing the ladies pictures of us surfing before, so I kept my mobile phone. It's the only thing I have Paul laughed brightly, showing his neat white teeth. His mood was not affected at all. His optimistic and positive appearance made him smile.

Didn't Paul ever think that the lady and the thief might be together?

However, Lan Li did not put this speculation out, the matter has been so far, there is no need to have been entangled in the above“ Did you report to the police? "

"There's no need. There's nothing in my backpack, just a few tens of dollars in cash, and then there are two sets of clothes to change. I've called to freeze my credit card. There will be no further loss. " Paul waved his hand indifferently. "After that, just go back to Los Angeles and apply for a new driver's license."

Lan Li nodded in agreement.

Although Paul didn't elaborate, Langley could tell that Paul had come to support him.

The Gotham award, whose full name is the Gotham independent film award, is one of the most important awards in the American independent film industry, second only to Sundance. But in a way, it is more noteworthy and more professional than Sundance.

Sundance is a film festival with all kinds of works on display, which is the main theme; The Gotham independent film award is an award ceremony. There are strict requirements for the selection of independent films. The investment cost should not exceed six million yuan. Most films are only shown in art theaters, and there are even works that have never been shown before.

To sum up, it aims to reward the works worthy of attention in the independent film industry.

Even the setting of awards reveals an independent atmosphere: best film, best documentary, best group performance, best breakthrough director, best breakthrough actor, and best unsealed film.

This year, "buried alive" successfully entered the contest for best picture and best breakthrough actor.

Although there is an award ceremony for the Gotham independent film awards, one is not live broadcast, and the other is not open to the media. Only the nominees and active filmmakers in the independent film industry can be invited, and the number of participants is not more than 150. In the end, only a list of winners will be announced to the media. But its profession and authority are not inferior to that of Saint Dants.

Since the awards ceremony is in New York, blue Lee will take time to attend and get to know the senior people of the Independent Film Festival.

Among the best breakthrough actor awards, Langley is the most popular candidate. The competition between him and the younger generation of Jennifer Lawrence has really attracted a lot of topics. Paul came all the way from Los Angeles just to cheer for lenley.

Looking at the embarrassed Paul in front of him, the smile from the corner of his mouth fell into his eyes. "Shall we go to the store now and buy you a warm clothes? You look like you can't go anywhere outside. "

The winter in Los Angeles is as warm as spring. Paul, who grew up in California, has never experienced the battle of winter.

Paul was not worried at all. He looked out of the window and said, "just go inside. Where are we going now?"

"Mount Sinai Hospital." Lanli didn't turn around. After receiving the call just now, he stopped his skateboard and temporarily stopped a taxi. Can't he let Paul skateboard with him“ You can take a taxi to my home and have a good rest. After my volunteer work today, we will go to Pioneer Village in the evening. "

"Volunteers, is that a volunteer to help patients?" Paul's eyes brightened. "I'm certified as an emergency medical technician, and I should be able to help. Do you mind if I come with you? "

Blue Li slightly Leng Leng, immediately with a smile, "of course don't mind. More precisely, it is very welcome. You should know that we are always short of manpower. " Paul nodded in deep agreement. "Do you have an emergency medical technician qualification?"

"When there was an earthquake in Haiti last year, a group of our friends organized a professional rescue team to help. Later, he went to Chile, Indonesia and other places. After coming back, I took the qualification certificate. " Paul said lightly, then with a big smile, "when you really need help, no one wants to stand by and do nothing, right?"

Lan Li nodded seriously and replied with a light voice, "I can't refute it."

While talking, the taxi has arrived at the destination. Langley and Paul get out of the car and go straight to the hospital.

Entering the hospital gate, before Lan Li even had time to say hello, the chaotic scene at the elevator door on the first floor came into our eyes. A woman fell down straightly, and the nurse standing next to her quickly reached for her, but the gravity was too strong, and the woman seemed to have lost consciousness. All the weight collapsed, and the nurse couldn't support her at all.

There is a wheelchair coming out of the elevator door. On it sits an old man with white hair. He sees the faint lady and tries to help her, but he can't stand up at all.

Behind the old man, there was a young lady pushing a wheelchair. She tried to get around, but she bumped into the hanging bottle at the back of the wheelchair, and she also bumped out with the wheelchair. Her whole body immediately showed a panic expression and went to stabilize the bottle in a hurry.

At the same time, the wheelchair pushed forward, but it hit the fainting lady at the door and got stuck. The forward inertia caused the old man to start to fall forward, which was in danger.

The whole scene was in chaos.

Lanli and Paul didn't have time to say hello, so they ran to the old man. They exchanged sight. Lanli ran to the old man, and Paul was in charge of the lady.

Lan Li knelt on the ground and supported the old man with his arms. However, the weight of the old man's whole body came down, so Lan Li's standing posture was very awkward and hard to work; And he didn't know what was the situation of the old man. He didn't dare to work hard. He could only barely support him to avoid the situation getting worse.

Standing next to Paul is not much better, the lady's downward trend has been inevitable, Paul has no way to turn the tide, can only hold the lady, and then slowly put the lady on the ground, to avoid injury.

Although I know it's very untimely, I'm really happy about this scene. My friend came to visit me specially. As a result, they didn't have any manners or greetings. They didn't even ask about each other's recent harvest and recent situation. Then they went to the hospital and got busy when they didn't say a word.
