Chapter 6： childhood sweetheart

Gently pushing open the wooden door in front of him, Gu Luobei tried his best not to make any noise from his actions. Walking to her mother's bed, her curly blond hair was casually spread out on the pillow. Gu Luobei put the pre-written note under the alarm clock at the bedside and pressed it down, then looked down at his mother. Caitlin Bell is only forty-two years old this year, but the traces of the years can already be seen on her originally fair skin. Years of work day and night have quickly climbed up her cheeks. Even so, you can still see her peerless elegance when she was young on those slender eyelashes and moving red lips.

Today's departure, after the Yingyan Music Festival is over, Gu Luobei will go directly to the university to report, and it will be a few months before seeing his mother again. So even if she knew that once she was woken up, she would never let herself set off today after staying all night, Gu Luobei still went upstairs to say goodbye to her mother.

"Catherine, I'm off to Los Angeles." After that, Gu Luobei kissed her mother's hairline, and then tiptoed away.

Downstairs, Teddy Bell had already loaded the prepared luggage into Gu Luobei's car. He said it was a car, but it was actually a second-hand car, a Chevrolet produced in 1965. After that, it had several owners. , which was bought by Catherine Bell as the family's delivery van, but now belongs to the two brothers.

After Gu Luobei got down, Teddy Bell, who was standing beside the red truck, came over and gave Gu Luobei a big hug, "Be careful on the road, when you're in a bad state, stop and take a rest. The festival was missed this year, and there will be another next year.”

Gu Luobei reluctantly patted Teddy Bell on the back, "Bear, you are so strong, I can't breathe." Teddy Bell let go of Gu Luobei and scratched embarrassedly scratched his head. "Don't worry, I'll take care of myself. After Catherine gets up, I'll leave it to you." Obviously, after Catherine Bell got up, she would definitely blame Teddy Bell for letting the tired Gu Luobei set off.

Teddy Bell didn't speak, just smiled naively, then nodded, "Remember to call if you have something." Although the penetration rate of mobile phones has not yet reached an overwhelming level, luckily, it has gradually become popular among the public. Accepted. Otherwise, Gu Luobei, who was accustomed to living with a mobile phone, returned to the era of only landline phones, which was indeed very frustrating. At the beginning of this year, taking advantage of the millennium discount event, Gu Luobei bought three Nokia 5110s at $99 each, one for the family, and it was much easier to connect.

Gu Luobei got his driver's license as soon as he turned sixteen, and now he has two years of driving experience. He got into his truck, waved to Teddy Bell again, and started the new engine that was replaced last year. Departure from home.

On the second floor, Catherine Bell stood by the window and quietly watched the dark red truck disappear from sight little by little. Although there was some worry in her eyes, there was still a smile on the corner of her mouth. In fact, when Gu Luobei entered the room, she woke up. She had a habit of working night shifts in dry cleaners for many years, and her sleep was always very light. But Catherine Bell didn't get up to stop Gu Luobei. She knew that this little son, although he was a little impulsive, would not do anything he was not sure about.

She wanted to think like this, but her mother was worried, and Catherine Bell's heart tugged involuntarily. He looked down at the note in his hand again, "Dear Catherine, I'm leaving! I'll take care of myself, don't worry. Los Angeles, I'm here! I love you, Bei." Gu Luobei was full of energy. His face was a little more reassuring.

When he left the block from his home, Gu Luobei stopped the car again without driving two blocks. I saw three boys across the street surrounded a girl, jokingly saying something, the girl confronted without showing weakness, but after all, it was a one-on-three, and it was a weak girl playing against a boy, so her footsteps were still faint. She stepped back, ready to run away at any time.

Gu Luobei honked the truck's horn and yelled twice at the other side of the street, "Hey, stupid big man, get out of the way." Then he opened the door and walked over quickly.

The three boys turned around and saw Gu Luobei following the sound of the loudspeaker, and one of them came out arrogantly with a strange face, "F**K, nosy idiot." He rolled up his sleeves and was ready to rush up . But the other two boys quickly grabbed the silly big man, and one of the slightly thinner boys shouted, "Evan, it's okay, it's okay, everything is fine." Apparently he knew Gu Luobei.

"Why do you hold me and let me slap this little white face hard, and he will know the consequences of destroying my good deeds." The muscular man was obviously a newcomer, and he did not know that in these blocks, Gu Luobei The prestige of the brothers, when the two brothers first came to this area, they were bullied by many local children. They were beaten from the age of seven to the age of ten. Later, although there were still people who were not convinced, they had nothing to do and tried to provoke Teddy Bell, but they were all beaten back. Therefore, the two Gu Luobei brothers are considered minor celebrities among the teenagers in this area.

Gu Luobei's pace toward the opposite street didn't slow down much, and he shouted, "Stupid man, come here, do you want to **** fist?" He was already gearing up, and the man behind the muscular man The faces of the two boys immediately showed panic, and they pulled their muscles in a panic and fled.

Looking at the three fleeing figures, Gu Luobei smiled easily. Living in Brooklyn, fists are often more useful. "Annie, are you alright?" Gu Luobei said to the girl in front of him, apparently knowing each other.

Anne Hathaway, Gu Luobei of course knew, this one became popular because of "The Princess Diaries", known as the complex of Julia Roberts and Audrey Hepburn, and then starred in "Brokeback Mountain". ", "The Devil Wears Prada", "Becoming Jane Austen" and other movies, can be described as the leader in the new generation of actresses.

But Gu Luobei knew Anne Hathaway all his life, but it started the day after he arrived in Brooklyn, because they were neighbors. Gu Luobei did not expect that he would become childhood sweethearts with Anne Hathaway. Anne Hathaway, who is only one day younger than Gu Luobei, has a boyish personality, lively and cheerful, and tossed with the two Gu Luobei brothers. It has been twelve years since this flash.

"It's alright, the stupid big guy just now was Edward's cousin. He asked me if I wanted to drink coffee. I refused." Anne Hathaway waved her hand and said boldly, not affected by the bad situation just now.

Anne Hathaway, who was only 18 years old at this time, has not yet fully opened her eyebrows and eyes, and she can still see her youthful appearance. The elegant and noble temperament that has settled down after many years is even more invisible now. She is completely boyish. Wild girl. At this point, it fits her image of Princess Mia in the "Princess Diaries" very well, and it is no wonder that the director chose her at a glance. However, her fair skin, big watery eyes and red lips can still be seen as a beautiful embryo.

"Are you going to Los Angeles? I thought you were leaving tomorrow." Anne-Hathaway saw Gu Luobei driving out, and she knew that he was going to the Eagle Rock Music Festival.

"You have to pass today, or you'll miss it." Gu Luobei turned back and pointed to his car, "It's only after six o'clock, and there's not a lot of traffic, so it's better to leave early. Otherwise, you will know the bad traffic conditions in New York. By the way, when is your film interview scheduled?"

Anne Hathaway's mother, Kate McGory, was a singer and actress who had a great influence on her. Anne-Hathaway has had performance opportunities in short plays since last year. After entering 2000, because of her outstanding performance in the TV series "Real", the interview opportunities provided by the Screen Actors Guild also gradually increased.

In the United States, there is already a complete system for how a movie is cast, the most basic of which is the Actors Guild. The Screen Actors Guild of America (SAG), established in 1933, is the largest actors' union in the United States, with more than 120,000 members. And the American Television and Radio Actors Association (AFTRA), which has more than 70,000 members, includes almost all actors in the United States.

The significance of the existence of the Actors Union is to seek benefits and rights for union members, including introducing job opportunities to actors, safeguarding rights and interests, and negotiating labor contracts with the Producers Association.

When a movie needs to select actors, UU Reading can achieve its goal through the Actors Guild. The Actors Guild will notify the qualified members according to the requirements of the director and the producer, and then participate in the interview.

Before an actor becomes famous, the Actors Guild will send a public agent to help manage affairs and safeguard rights; after becoming famous, the actor can also find an independent agent or agency by himself, and then communicate and coordinate with the Actors Union through a professional agent. , forming a perfect operating system.

Gu Luobei joined the Screen Actors Guild when he entered Broadway from Off-Broadway, because every job on Broadway has its own union. Before joining a union, it is not allowed to appear on the Broadway stage. Anne Hathaway is also a member of the Screen Actors Guild of America.

The interview opportunity this time was provided by the Screen Actors Guild of America. The movie was the "Princess Diaries" that later brought Anne Hathaway into the public eye.

Hearing Gu Luobei's question, Anne-Hathaway smiled, "Two weeks later. But I can feel nervous now." When she laughed, her mouth was wide open, with a no-nonsense expression. The decoration is so bold that the person in the conversation can't help but laugh.

"Don't worry, just be yourself. As far as I know, that character is not an innocent, lively, carefree girl. In my eyes, you are like this." Gu Luobei's words attracted a series of Anne-Hathaway series. With a happy smile, "Don't say it, I'm going."

"I know, traffic problems! Be careful on the road." Anne-Hathaway gave Gu Luobei a big hug, kissed him on the cheek, and then shouted "goodbye" loudly, then turned and trotted away .
