In late March in New York, it's chilly in spring. You can still see the scattered ice on the Hudson River. The deep cold water is full of a sharp smell. You can't help shivering in the boundless forest made of steel and concrete when the breeze blows.
Nathan, who is walking in the turbulent crowd, is no exception. He pulls the collar of his windbreaker coat, pushes open the door in front of him, and quickly enters the warm room. The drunken order, the chatting laughter, and the dazzling turbulent crowd make his stiff muscles relax in an instant, as if he had entered a paradise isolated from the world, I can't feel the change of the four seasons, nor the passage of time. I am eternally fixed in the moment of singing, dancing, singing and laughing.
He took off his coat and hung it on the coat rack at the door. He looked at the bar and saw Neil. He raised his chin and said hello. Unexpectedly, Neil made a grimace and kept winking. Nathan was stunned. When he reacted, he saw the familiar figure and swaggered forward. He wanted to turn around and run away, But it's too late. All the retreats are full of people. It will be very difficult to break through in a short time.
"Nathan! Where's your boss? " Before the person came, the voice had already come over, but the time of a word, the footstep followed closely, the expression of the frown let Nathan involuntarily avoid the line of sight, dare not face to face, "don't tell me you don't know, you are his assistant, his whereabouts will certainly tell you! Three weeks, three weeks, he can't disappear completely! Even if it's dead, it's better to send an obituary
That's a very personal statement.
But Nathan knows that the other side is not malicious, just venting their emotions. So Nathan gave a big smile and politely said, "good afternoon, George." Try to keep smiling and try to prove your innocence.
However, this method had no effect at all. The other party waved his hand directly, just like driving away flies, and said, "whether it's vacation, travel or study, he should have a trend, right? Three weeks, completely disappear on the earth's territory? This is ridiculous
The other side spread out his hands, with an expression of "I'm reasonable with you", but his words kept aggressive momentum, and he didn't intend to give in at all. "I can understand that he doesn't use Facebook or twitter. I fully understand that, but even the assistant doesn't know his position? I'm not a reporter, I'm his album producer! I just want to know when the album can be put into production. I don't even intend to urge him! "
Through each other's shoulders, Nathan saw Neil standing in the bar, that schadenfreude smile, no compassion. Nathan was helpless.
At this moment, Nathan's place is the Pioneer Village, and standing in front of him is George strand.
It was three weeks ago that "anti cancer me" was officially killed. After all the shooting, lenley gave Nathan a vacation. He carried his luggage, didn't take a plane, and didn't drive a car. Instead, he chose to stop the free ride beside the road and left Seattle.
Before leaving, lenley told Nathan that his final destination is Grand Canyon National Park, which is a resort for unarmed rock climbing. He wanted to go to the land in person, feel the essence of extreme sports and continue to challenge himself. But after that, Nathan didn't hear from Langley.
Nathan tried to call Langley many times, but every time he turned it off, he didn't get a reply.
This situation is really worrying. Finally, Andy Rogers is more sophisticated. He seems to have anticipated such a possibility, so he unhurriedly turned on the global positioning system in lanli's mobile phone and determined lanli's whereabouts. During this time, Langley has been in the Grand Canyon National Park. It seems that he is on a hike. He keeps moving every day.
But that's all. Neither Nathan nor Andy knows the details of Langley.
Meanwhile, Nathan returned to New York alone. Although it was his vacation, he could not relax completely.
On the one hand, he began to learn the business knowledge of brokers, which is helpful for his assistant work. He knows that he has many shortcomings and must make continuous progress; On the other hand, he also tried to learn more about lanli's habits, preferences and so on, to help him better deal with lanli's daily life, and the Pioneer Village is the best choice.
As an assistant, Nathan is growing up bit by bit.
Every now and then, Nathan came to the Pioneer Village. Gradually, Nathan fell in love with the place. Even when he was relaxing, he would come here and have a beer, and became good friends with Neil Tucson; But at the same time, Nathan's holiday was accompanied by an unexpected guest, George.
After learning that Nathan is lanli's assistant, George begins to pester Nathan and ask about lanli's itinerary and whereabouts.
At the beginning, Nathan was always patient and told all the limited information he knew, but gradually things began to get tricky.
For the past three weeks, George has come to the Pioneer Village every day to wait. At first, Nathan didn't want to think that George had come to encircle himself, but he soon found out that this was the case - more accurately, George didn't do it for Nathan, but for Langley.
Every time he saw him, George would ferociously encircle him, even give no breathing space, and use all kinds of means, such as tenderness, coercion, inducement, guidance and entreaty, in the hope that he would be able to force the whereabouts of lanli.
Nathan is really helpless. He has told all he knows, but George still doesn't believe it. He always thinks he has something to hide. This makes Nathan miserable, just feel that his body has been hollowed out.
So... No rush? Nathan was in tears.
"George, if I told you that Langley was in New York now, what would you do?" Nathan's unexpected reply stunned George. For a moment, he didn't know how to respond. After a pause, George asked, "are you serious? Is Langley in New York now? "
Nathan couldn't see a reason on his face. He just said, "I mean, if he's here, what are you going to do?"
George choked. Lanli is a guy who doesn't get any oil and salt. Even if he knows that lanli is in New York, even if he contacts lanli with his mobile phone, even if he is surrounded by lanli in Pioneer Village, he still can't force lanli to make an album. At the beginning, he agreed to follow lanli's schedule, so it's useless for him to work alone.
This is a depressing and irrefutable fact.
His heart was extremely depressed, but it didn't show on the surface. George still said sternly, "I'm going to ask him if he has been deliberately creating recently? Have you sorted out the songs you created before? Is there a collection of works that I can listen to? You know, it's not so easy to make an album. It takes a long time just to choose music
Nathan didn't retort any more. He just nodded with a smile and looked happy to be taught.
George couldn't help saying.
When I first met Nathan, he was simple and honest. He seemed to be an obedient fool; But now he has become so cunning. He has completed the conversion between attack and defense, almost taking him to the ditch. Sure enough, lanli was surrounded by a group of foxes. He who was close to Zhu was red, and he who was close to Mo was black. Nathan also learned badly.
Looking at Nathan's smile, George rounded his eyes and snapped, "Langley is a guy who doesn't do his job and walks around. Those stars, when they are on holiday, go to the island to bask in the sun, swim and spread gossip; But Lan Li insisted on going around and doing some dangerous things. What if he was injured? What if it affects the next studio work? I said, young people today, too unreliable! What Yolo, what experience stimulation, what enjoy life, no sense of responsibility
Nathan muttered, "isn't Lanley's essential job an actor?" Just finished the hard shooting of "anti cancer me", how can we say that we are not doing our job?
"What are you talking about?" George's eyebrows stand up, and his whole body is in a state of explosion.
Nathan waved his hand and said with a smile, "I said that vacation is for more serious work, isn't it?"
Knowing that Nathan didn't just say that, George didn't go on pursuing it. He nodded his head and agreed. Then he put his arms around Nathan's shoulder and put on a friendly smile. He said gently, "in the process of shooting this movie, didn't lenley create any songs? Are you sure? "
In the face of such intimate and enthusiastic George, Nathan's heart began to cry. He knew that George would not end so easily. The training of this holiday is obviously far from over.
Nathan is being tested in Pioneer Village, and Langley is being tested in Grand Canyon National Park.
The hot sun is in the sky, the field of vision is open, without any trees or mountains. The hot sun is pouring down wantonly, and there is a heat wave in the air, as if it is enough to evaporate all the water vapor; Gusts of wind, the broad plain overgrown with weeds, the accumulation of air flow is bigger and bigger, more and more fierce, the sound of hunting wind is like thunder, sharp as a blade cutting every inch of land.
It's hard to imagine that there is such a place where people can experience extreme heat and extreme cold at the same time, which makes people at a loss.
Lan Li only felt that his throat had begun to smoke, but his body was slightly hot again. The sharp cold penetrated through his pores everywhere. The contradiction between external heat and internal cold constantly consumed his physical strength and energy. It was as if he was walking on the tip of a knife.
