On a quiet afternoon, the whole of New York is a bit dull. The dark clouds are gathering over Manhattan. The light is hard to pass through the blockade of the clouds, but it seems powerless. It can't penetrate the thick steel forest, so it dissipates in a large gray.
The heat and irritability of midsummer are bubbling and rolling on the crowded streets full of traffic. People can't help but unbutton their shirts and try to feel more fresh air. But then they find that it doesn't help. The thick depression is too oppressive to breathe.
The flow of people on 57th Street seems a little more peaceful, the middle class enjoying afternoon tea under the umbrella of the open-air coffee shop, the scalper scalper hiding in the shadow at the entrance of Carnegie Hall, the college students sketching at the corner of the street... The heat is still there, but there is less noise and commotion.
At this time, the crowd on the street without warning began to get excited, as if they could clearly feel the air began to bubble.
People who didn't know why began to look back and forth, trying to find the root cause, but here's the problem: there's nothing unusual. There are no luxury sports cars, no parade groups, no special activities, and even no surge of people. Few figures can be seen in the sight and run in the same direction——
The teaching building of Juilliard conservatory faces the exit of the street.
The next second, the anomaly becomes apparent.
It's not just the five or six figures just started, but the whole street seems to be surging up: young people reading newspapers in coffee shops, middle-aged men chatting in front of bookstores, young artists browsing performance information in front of Carnegie Hall, All of them rushed in the same direction.
What's that?
What's going on?
All this is just baffling. It looks like a spy movie like "mission impossible". It seems that all agents are hiding in the block, just to ambush traitors or spies. When the target appears, everyone rushes up and subdues the target regardless.
Is a movie being made here?
But there were no notices on either side of the street.
The shop assistants working nearby and a few ordinary people enjoying the afternoon were all stunned and puzzled, completely unable to understand what happened.
Along the direction of physical displacement, all eyes are projected in the past, and then you see an ordinary young man, who looks like a student of Juilliard Conservatory of music. Simple white T-shirt with jeans has nothing special, and is countless in the streets and alleys of Manhattan.
Just in doubt, he vaguely caught a trace of difference, and then the scene became chaotic. The group of people swarming from all directions began to speed up their sprint, and someone yelled, "wait a minute, lanli, wait a minute!"
Lenley?
Which Langley?
What about the Langley?
Almost at the same time synchronization, all the surprised eyes are in unison toward the figure quickly projected in the past, excited and excited, curious and unexpected, all the emotions are all blowout.
What's more exaggerated is that all the people hidden in the invisible corners have sprung up like bamboo shoots after a spring rain. Just now, there are five, six, and then eleven, twelve. Now, in one go, there are twenty-five, twenty-six. An endless stream of people come out from every corner and burst out in geometric multiples. The scene is magnificent.
The scene looks like a magnificent scene on the African grassland. A group of wild wolves are encircling a poor sika deer. The sika deer is trying their best to run and dodge, but the wolves persevere and tirelessly form an encirclement, making the sika deer have no way to escape.
"Lanli, there are rumors in the industry recently that you are preparing to return to the 'speed and passion' series. Is that true?"
"It's said that the personal conflict between you and van diesel is irreconcilable. What's the matter?"
"It's said that you and the new actress Melissa bainoist have sparked and destroyed her relationship with Blake Jenner. Is there anything you want to respond to?"
"Universal Pictures has at least two projects linked to you. Does this mean that your relationship with Universal Pictures has broken the ice?"
"Do you really want to go back to the 'speed and passion' series? What's Paul Walker's role in this? "
"Did you have a good time working with Melissa during the shooting of" pop drummer "
"The speed and passion series is being rebooted. Dawn Johnson also said that he is looking forward to cooperating with you. Does that mean that you really want to return to the series?"
"Disney insider news, you are preparing to play 'Galaxy guard', is that true? Now that the film has started shooting, when will you get together? "
Although Langley is shooting "pop drummer", the crew itself seems to be calm; However, in the past two days, there has been an endless stream of news about Langley, one more powerful, one more exaggerated and one more exciting——
It's "speed and passion" and "Galaxy guard", it's not in line with rumors and hot gossip, it's industrial changes and personal matters... The boisterous news comes out one after another, and everything is so hot that the summer holidays in full swing are dwarfed.
In order to be able to grasp the news at the first time, countless paparazzi all flocked to big apple and laid an ambush outside the shooting site of "pop drummer", expecting to complete the ambush quickly and force Lan Li to the corner to complete the interview task quickly.
After waiting and waiting for nearly a day, they finally wait for Lan Li's figure.
Because the Juilliard conservatory is an open campus, Langley may leave from any place, so the paparazzi are all scattered and hidden in different corners. At this time, the paparazzi gathered on 57th Street immediately get excited and celebrate their good fortune.
At the same time, the paparazzi stationed at the other exits took a slow step and got the news one after another. They didn't have time to complain at all, so they rushed over and could only pray silently in their heart that things would not end too soon, and they would arrive in time.
Then, the scene appeared.
A wave. Another wave. Another wave.
Paparazzi swarmed in from all directions and surrounded them layer by layer. The crowd on the scene became more and more lively and turbulent. The streets, which were just very cold, were already full of people.
In fact, it's not as exaggerated as "overcrowding". It's just about 30 paparazzi - they are still increasing, but their madness and excitement make the air surge fiercely, creating an illusion of 300 people.
No one wants to miss it.
……
At the first reaction, Langley turned around and started.
At this moment, the last thing he needs is the spotlight and the paparazzi. He knows that it's their job, just like it's his job to live in the spotlight. So all along, he always calmly faces paparazzi and reporters and completes the "agreement" between artists and media; But... Not today.
Just as he started, the cry was like thunder on the ground. The silence of the whole street completely disappeared, which made Lan Li's step stop a little.
For a moment, Lan Li's thoughts made a judgment: he could avoid the first day of junior high school, but he couldn't avoid the fifteenth day. In this case, it's better to face the paparazzi calmly and deal with the matter quickly, and then he can devote himself to the shooting. Anyway, it's not difficult to deal with the reporter.
At the next moment, Andrew's mind made a judgment again: run away, run away quickly, these people come here to humiliate you, even the most basic "whipping" is not good, still dream of becoming the successor of buddy Ricky? Crazy dream! If they find Fletcher insulting, it's bad.
Two kinds of thoughts, two worlds are constantly pulling, the whole skull began to ache, and then he realized: it's too late.
There are paparazzi in the front, back and side, quickly forming a circle, cutting off all the escape routes of lanli. Now it's time to catch a turtle in a jar.
Lanli stopped, turned around and faced the paparazzi, but the tension and struggle still didn't disappear. Sometimes he was ashamed, sometimes he was calm, sometimes he was bitter, sometimes he was calm, sometimes he was painful, sometimes he was calm. The feeling of trance floating on the water like a rootless duckweed came again.
His vision, his hearing, his sense of smell and his sense of touch were all in disorder. The figures in front of him began to overlap, the sound around his ears began to hum, and the distance between him and the paparazzi was also misjudged. Even the surging air was hot and cold, and the whole time and space seemed to be out of control.
The muscles of the whole body tensed to the extreme, as if they were being forced to the corner step by step. The helplessness and despair of the trapped animals quickly attacked. In an instant, the heart beat out of rhythm, just like a giant hand seizing the heart, tightening, tightening again, almost unable to breathe.
"Langley", "gossip", "contradiction", "speed", "Paul", "occurrence", "situation", "response", "negative", "Scene", "Lang", "why", "true", "official", "problem", "conspiracy", "provocation"
Countless words are just like a thousand pieces of jigsaw puzzle that have been broken. They all fall down in one piece, and then they are all disordered. There is no exact context in those fragmented syllables. Only a large amount of noise surges to the ear membrane, and the sharp pain waves after waves, It was like a storm, leaving no breathing space at all. Before responding in time, the whole person was completely submerged.
Suffocation. dark.
