The patter of rain gently beat the window lattice, lazy and old jazz music reverberates in the ear, the whole world is filled with a kind of peace.
Lan Li leaned against the wall and read quietly. The aroma of coffee curled under his nose. The passage of time seemed meaningless.
He held the newspaper high, only peeped out his eyes at the top of the newspaper and looked at it furtively. For fear of divulging his whereabouts, the whole person was worried and could not settle down. One minute was like a century of suffering; But now he doesn't know what to do. It seems that it's not a good idea to break the deadlock like this, but it's not a good way to go on like this. He's in a dilemma.
In the end, he remained patient, still sitting in the same place, just like his usual style, waiting quietly.
At least, he didn't get nothing.
Lanli arrived at the cafe 15 minutes ahead of schedule, neither too early nor too late, maintaining the etiquette without being too eager; Lanli is obviously a reading enthusiast. It can be seen from the bookmarks and the way to read that he should be reading on the way to the coffee shop, and now he can keep the same rhythm when he enters the waiting mode; In addition, lanli's character was quiet and steady, and he didn't feel the impatience and hurry of 25 years old.
More importantly, from the brief conversation between Langley and the waiter, oggs can perceive Langley's humility and politeness, so where does the aggressive arrogance and strength he feels come from? Maybe it's because there are too few reference samples in the coffee house to get a glimpse of the real situation; Or is his judgment wrong?
A quarter of an hour has passed since the appointed meeting. He noticed that Langley looked up twice. Once, he asked the waiter for the address of the coffee shop. He didn't know why Langley wanted to confirm the address; Another time, he looked around the coffee shop and seemed to be confirming something - maybe Langley looked up more times, and Argus couldn't be 100% sure, because he had to hide his whereabouts for fear of being found, and had to hide behind the newspaper most of the time.
It seems that there are not too many emotional fluctuations, which is too abnormal; Augus decided to show up, no matter what, after he showed up, Langley's on-the-spot reaction can really explain the problem.
But oggs can't just walk over like this, which is equivalent to exposing his whereabouts directly. He needs to leave the coffee shop stealthily, don't disturb anyone, and then come in openly, pretending to be late, to see how lenley handles it.
He quietly left the cash on the table, then put on his black windbreaker, set up his collar high, covered his face, and walked away from the cafe along the edge of the seat. Several times, he felt that he was about to look up, and was likely to reveal his whereabouts; But fortunately, Langley didn't look up after all, which made him lucky to escape several robberies.
Finally, he left the cafe. Oggs stood under the eaves, propped up his black umbrella, walked into the rain quickly, left the block where the cafe was located, and then made a detour and turned back. When he came to the door of the cafe again, he should have been nearly 25 minutes late. He was very curious about what lenley would do, This is bound to be an interesting thing.
He can't wait.
Standing at the door of the coffee shop, he put away his umbrella, breathed deeply to adjust his state, then pushed the door into the coffee shop, quickly walked towards the direction of Lan Li, with a restrained and shy smile on his face, slightly embarrassed eyes, and a slightly gasping voice, he said, "sorry, I'm late."
Oggs stopped for a moment, looked at Langley's face, and then explained awkwardly, "it's raining... Traffic, I have to take the subway... I'm really sorry." In fact, he didn't know how to cover it up. Performance was not his strong point, so he adhered to the principle of "saying more and making more mistakes, saying less and making less mistakes", so he explained the situation with hesitation, which coincided with his original character.
He closed the books in his hand, kept smiling, looked up at him, waited patiently for him to finish his explanation, and then politely said, "it doesn't matter." After a short pause, Langley continued, "I'm often late because I'm lost, but it's my personal reason, so I often arrive at the scene a lot earlier, lest I miss an important appointment; But in the face of objective circumstances, I will be relieved. At least I tried hard. Although the mistake is also in me, at least I can find someone to blame. "
Is the last sentence make complaints about Tucao? Then make complaints about make complaints about Augs or make complaints about others?
There were several thoughts in his mind at the same time, just like angels and demons were pulling each other. For a while, he didn't know how to react. He looked awkwardly at Lan Li and blinked, "er... Do you mean
Such a sincere and frank response made Langley dumbfounded. "I mean, the weather, you can blame the weather. I don't think you should be sorry. Even after living here for 20 years, we still have no way to figure out what the weather is like in this land. "
It dawned on him.
It was supposed to be a joke. It was a humorous way to solve the embarrassment for him, but he didn't understand it, which also made his abacus fall through and the atmosphere became awkward again; But Lan Li didn't panic. He continued calmly, "please sit down. Coffee or tea? Cold rainy days, always need a cup of hot drink to dispel moisture. Black tea will never be the wrong choice. "
"..." Argus really couldn't keep up with the pace of Langley's thinking, but he still nodded, "tea, black tea is very good, no problem."
He hesitated to take off his windbreaker. As the host, he looked at Lan Li, who called the waiter to order. He was calm and calm. It seemed that being late had never happened before. On the contrary, he was flustered. He thought that Lan Li would... He didn't know what Lan Li would do, but it was definitely not Lan Li in his mind.
"So, my being late didn't bother you at all?" After Langley finished placing the order, oggs asked, "I mean, today's appointment is my proposal, but in the end, I was late, and nearly 30 minutes late. It's really impolite. Don't you mind?"
"Angus, I thought it was over." Lanli said with a smile, but this time, he didn't say a word, but seriously said, "of course, being late is not a good thing, but I don't think it is a terrible thing. If we didn't experience mistakes and setbacks again and again, life would never change, and countless Sciences were born in accidents, There are also countless arts bred in mistakes. We don't have to cling to one mistake, do we? After all, there are more and better things waiting for us. "
"For example, we can discuss the role of David in lobster." Blue show showed a big smile, "oggs, I know I'm not your first choice, maybe not even on your choice list, Jason Clark and I are two different styles of actors."
Engels couldn't help choking: No, I'm seen through.
"But who knows? If you choose an actor who seems to be wrong, you may be able to make more sparks. You left Greece and came to Britain just because you want to make some different challenges. So why not try to see more breakthroughs? " Langley looked at him brightly. "So, are you ready? I can discuss with you my views on the role of David, hoping to rub out different inspirations. "
In this way, Eugene watched Langley quietly, and all the thoughts in his mind were blocked.
He can feel the sincerity and concentration of Langley. The passionate investment is enough to deeply affect every film creator. The pure and simple joy is revealed in every word and deed, and is also excited with Eugene.
This is not the Langley in the impression of Engels, but it is also the Langley in the impression of Engels. He devoted all his enthusiasm to a role, actively fought for the role, and sincerely hoped that he could become a part of it. Even if there was a collision in the process of diving forward, he still could not stop his inner impulse and joy, It's just a reckless rush.
Indeed, Langley's initiative did not leave any room for him to refuse, but it was definitely not because of arrogance, but because of love.
All of a sudden, Eugene realized that although Langley and he are not the same kind of people, Langley is actually a very pure and very simple person. He devoted himself to the performance. This enthusiasm and passion from the depths of his soul made him see his own projection - just different ways of expression.
He didn't like the way Langley expressed it, but he knew that Langley and his goal had always been consistent.
His stomach began to heat up, and he realized that his testing methods were too cheap and clumsy, and he became very small in front of Langley.
He should apologize to lenley, not for being late, but for his own temptation.
"Langley..." oggs hesitated, his expression and action were stiff, which was not the rhythm he was used to, but he still had to complete it. "In fact, I had already arrived at the coffee shop, even earlier than you. I had been sitting in that corner, watching your movements."
