……

In the spacious airport space, the sound of broadcasting and notification continuously reverberates, showing the busyness and prosperity of the International Airport; In the sight of the square Chinese characters with English instructions, it is telling every passenger who has just landed that they have come to the land of China with a splendid history and civilization.

Lanli is so quiet and comfortable sitting on the sofa bench, watching the people coming and going outside the VIP box with interest. All kinds of people still have the characteristics of the International Airport, but the image of yellow skin, black hair and black eyes has obviously occupied the mainstream, outlining the unique scene of Asia.

He had more than once imagined that he would set foot on this land again, but he could not help feeling timid.

After all, he is no longer Chu Jiashu, but lanli hall. Lanli hall is a stranger from appearance to image to identity. When he comes back to his hometown again, he is a guest in other people's eyes; And everything he once knew was no longer what Chu Jiashu saw. The mixed emotions made him never make up his mind to return to this land.

To this day.

After "gravity" was officially put on file, Warner Bros. successfully obtained the qualification to release the work in the mainland, and also confirmed the release schedule of the film in various regions of Asia, placing high hopes on the overseas box office.

Many previous works have proved the strong box office appeal of lanli in overseas markets, especially in Asia, which makes Warner Bros. arrange the Asian publicity itinerary correspondingly, including Tokyo, Seoul, Hong Kong and Mordor, hoping to drive the overseas box office of gravity.

After the premiere meeting in Tokyo and Seoul, Langley's steps came to the third stop: Mordor.

Last life, his university was here.

He lived here for four years, and then suffered a car accident here; Later, because he could not afford the hospital expenses, he and his mother returned to the hospital in his southern hometown and spent the rest of his life.

In the long night lying in the hospital bed, he had thought for many times, if he returned to the city, what would he feel and what would be the situation; But in countless kinds of thoughts, it never occurred to me that when I came back again, I would be a man again, with a lot of vicissitudes.

Those hesitation and hesitation, those resentment and sadness, those irritability and unwillingness... Now have all turned into water, completely forgotten in the past.

When he flew across the Pacific Ocean from Los Angeles, Langley had a long dream on the plane, and once again dreamed of his last lifetime of study.

He left the small county where he lived all his life and came to mordu University. Although he finally got rid of his mother's supervision and bondage, the living habits formed over the years still made him learn and live step by step; Only, occasionally, very occasionally, he would secretly give himself a holiday.

Sitting in the corner of the library aisle, flipping through boring fast food novels or gossip entertainment magazines, even if it's just an hour, it's also the happiest and most comfortable day in life. Even the sunlight that penetrates the glass and falls on the palm of the hand is so lifelike, just like another world.

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

After waking up from his sleep, the corner of his mouth was still with a shallow smile. He could not help thinking that if he did not have the shooting experience of "pop drummer", he would have completed his transformation; If not now, but three months ago; If he still can't completely let go of the past and refuse to reconcile with himself... Does he have the courage to set foot on this land again?

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

But he was glad that he came back after all.

At this moment, Lan Li sat quietly in the same place, without special effort, those memory fragments would naturally slowly emerge, good and bad all have, but there is a kind of relief and calm after the time has changed, even can't help but miss those years, those things like sesame and mung bean are bigger than the days of green.

When Andy returns to his position after the call, what he sees is the scene in front of him. However, in recent months, he has been used to it. They can clearly see that Langley is quietly changing.

In fact, the impression of lanli has always been warm and genial. That kind of elegant gentlemanly demeanor can always bring the feeling of spring breeze. However, hidden behind the mask of advancing and retreating properly, an invisible barrier has been built, which keeps others away coldly and alienated.

Occasionally, inadvertently, we can also capture the gloom between those eyebrows, which is like the curl of smoke.

Now Lan Li is still the familiar gentleman, but the wisp of smoke between his eyebrows is slowly dissipating, just like the sun in early summer. With dry water vapor and green, even the cicada becomes pleasant and cheerful. Close your eyes and you can smell the taste of the sun.

Andy and Roy, they don't understand the truth, but they are just really happy for lenley. Besides work, they are also friends.

Andy sat down diagonally opposite Langley. Instead of talking directly, he said curiously, "what's your level of Chinese? How about French and German? You know, for us, Chinese is really too difficult. From pronunciation to font, it's all written by heaven. "

"For Americans, aren't all languages other than English written in heaven?" Be struck dumb by the blue ritual, so that Andy was stunned. The smile of the blue ritual lips rose. "Why, did the media make an appointment to make complaints about it, hoping to test my Chinese level?"

"So, your level has reached the testable level?" Andy asked excitedly.

But Lan Li thought of a joke, "you know what? Those native speakers of English do not do well in the official English proficiency test, and may even be far lower than those who need to take the test; But when we really start to use language, the positions of the two sides are reversed. "

Language test, which is to test the examinees for the language structure and grammar system, and language use is a measure of living habits and ways of thinking, which are two relatively independent systems.

It can be understood that for candidates whose mother tongue is Chinese, the way of thinking in their brain must be Chinese mode. When taking the exam, you can choose the right answer by analyzing the language structure; But in practice, the difference of thinking mode inevitably brings barriers.

Therefore, many Asian students are like this. They can get high marks in the language test, but they are not necessarily proficient in using the language; Many European students, on the other hand, may be proficient in a language, but test scores are often not very good. This is mainly the result of the differences in educational methods, educational contents and language orientation.

Andy was slightly stunned. "You mean, your test results will not be very good, but you can speak fluent Chinese?" After making a judgment, Andy showed a look of disgust, "if I didn't know you well, I would think you were bragging."

Langley shrugged, noncommittal.

Andy can't help but pause for a moment because of his smiling face: is Langley really bragging? But Andy also knows that no matter what lanli's answer is, it doesn't seem to be right. In order to avoid being taken to the pit, he decides to cut off the topic in advance and get back to business.

"It was Thomas tour on the phone." Andy said succinctly, and then caught a slightly puzzled look of Langley, had to add an explanation, "legend." Jurassic Park. "

Blue Li slightly jaw head expressed to understand.

"Universal Pictures has officially passed the internal discussion, 20 million dollars plus 6% of the box office bonus, they are willing to nod and agree to sign a contract." Andy said, quietly watching blue Li, seems to be waiting for a response, but see blue Li is not moved, seems to have no reaction, "what do you think?"

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

"We should refuse." Andy said positively.

Lan Li did not seem to be surprised, once again gently jaw head.

Andy shakes his head helplessly, and finally takes the initiative to say, "I just turned it down 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 tune and promised 10% of the box office bonus, but I still didn't agree. I just said that I should ask your opinion. "

"Thomas has no sincerity. He always lacked respect. In my opinion, I have already stated the bottom line before, and Universal Pictures has confirmed the final idea through discussion; But Thomas is still testing through the phone, such a cooperative attitude is really not satisfactory

"Wait... Did you already know?" Andy has a flash in his mind and suddenly realizes that something is wrong.
