"Dear passengers, United Airlines flight ua087 from Shanghai/Shanghai/Pu/Dong International Airport to New York's Norwalk International Airport is now ready to board. All passengers are requested to go to gate d85 to board the plane."

"Li Changchun customer, Li Changchun customer, your Virgin Airlines vs251 from Shanghai/Shanghai/Pu/East to London Heathrow is about to close the boarding gate, please go to gate f45 immediately to board the plane. Li Changchun customer, your airline The boarding gate of Virgin Atlantic vs251 from Shanghai/Shanghai/Pu/East to London Heathrow is about to close, please go to gate f45 immediately to board the plane.”

...

The sound of broadcast announcements echoed continuously in the spacious airport space, showing the busyness and prosperity of the international airport, and the interlaced Chinese and English broadcasts seemed cordial and familiar; and the well-behaved Chinese characters in the line of sight were paired with English descriptions, It is telling every passenger who has just landed that their footsteps have come to the land of China with a splendid historical civilization.

Renly just sat quietly and comfortably on the sofa bench, watching with interest the people coming and going outside the VIP box. All kinds of people still have the all-encompassing characteristics of an international airport, but they have yellow skin, black hair and black eyes. The image of , however, clearly dominates the mainstream, and outlines a unique scene belonging to the land of Asia.

He had imagined more than once that he would set foot on this land again, but he couldn't help feeling a little nostalgic.

After all, he is no longer Chu Jiashu, but Renly-Hall. From appearance to image to identity, Renly-Hall is a stranger. When he comes back to this homeland again, he is a guest in the eyes of others; And everything he was familiar with is no longer what Chu Jiashu saw it. That kind of mixed emotions made him never make up his mind to return to this land.

Until today.

After the official release of "Gravity", Warner Bros. successfully obtained the qualification for the release of this 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 of the previous works have proven Renly's strong box office appeal in overseas markets, especially in Asia, which makes Warner Bros. accordingly arrange promotional itineraries in Asia, including Tokyo , Seoul, Hong Kong/Hong Kong and Magic Capital and other cities, hoping to drive the overseas box office of "Gravity".

After the premiere meeting in Tokyo and Seoul, Renly's footsteps came to the third stop: Magic City.

In the last life, his university was here.

He lived here for four years, and was involved in a car accident here; after that, because he could not afford the hospital bills, he and his mother returned to the hospital in his hometown in the south and spent the rest of his life.

In the long night lying in the hospital bed, he had thought countless times about how he would feel and what the situation would be if he returned to this city again; but among the countless thoughts, there were countless I didn't expect that when I came back again, I was already a reincarnated person, and the seas and fields were vicissitudes.

Those hesitations and hesitations, those resentments and sorrows, those irritability and unwillingness... Now they have all turned into running water and have been completely forgotten in the past.

When flying across the Pacific from Los Angeles, Renly had a long, long dream on the plane, dreaming again of the school days of his previous life.

After leaving the small county town where he lived all his life, he came to the magic capital to study at university. Although he finally got rid of his mother's supervision and restraint, the living habits formed over the years still allowed him to study and live step by step; only, occasionally, very occasionally, he would secretly give himself a vacation.

Sitting in the corner of the aisle in the library, reading boring fast-food novels, or reading gossip entertainment magazines, even if it's just for an hour, that's the happiest and most comfortable day in life, even that piercing glass A beam of sunlight falling on the palm of the hand is so lifelike, like another world.

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

After waking up from his sleep, he still had a shallow smile on the corner of his mouth. He couldn't help but start to think that if he didn't have the shooting experience of "Exploding Drummer", he would have completed his transformation; if not now, but three months ago ; If he still has not been able to completely let go of the past and refuse to reconcile with himself... Does he still have the courage to set foot on this land again?

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

But he was glad that he came back after all.

At this moment, Ren Li sat quietly in the same place, without any need for special brains, those memory fragments appeared naturally and slowly, both good and bad, but there was a sense of relief and calmness after the passage of time, and even he couldn't help it. I miss those years, those sesame and mung bean-like things are bigger than the green years.

When Andy ended the call and returned to his position, what he saw was this scene in front of him, but in recent months, he had become accustomed to it, and they could clearly perceive that Renly was quietly changing.

In fact, Renly has always given the impression of being warm and genial. That kind of elegant and decent gentleman's demeanor can always bring the feeling of bath/spring/wind, but hidden behind the proper mask, it builds There was an invisible barrier, and the coldness and alienation blocked everyone else.

Occasionally, inadvertently, I can still capture a little gloom between those eyebrows, lingering like a cloud of blue smoke.

Now Renly is still the familiar gentleman, but the wisp of blue smoke entwined between his brows is slowly dissipating, just like the sunshine in early summer, with dry water vapor and abundant greenery, even the Knowing the sound became pleasant and cheerful, and when you closed your eyes, you could smell the sunshine.

Neither Andy nor Roy knew the truth, but they were genuinely happy for Renly. Outside of work, they are also friends.

Andy sat down diagonally across from Renly, and instead of talking about business, he said curiously, "How far is your Chinese level? How is it better than French and German? You know, for us, Chinese It's really hard, from the pronunciation to the fonts, it's a book from heaven."

"Aren't all languages ​​other than English a bible for Americans?" Renly's rant was so sharp that Andy was stunned, and the smile on the corner of Renly's mouth rose, "Why, there is a media appointment. I have an exclusive interview, would you like to test my Chinese proficiency level?"

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

Instead, Renly remembered a joke, "You know what? Those who are native English speakers do the official English proficiency tests, and they don't do well, maybe even far lower than those who need to take the test; but really start to use it. When it comes to language, the positions of the two sides are reversed."

The language test is to test the test taker's system of language structure and grammar use, while language use is a measure of living habits and thinking styles, which are two relatively independent systems.

It can be understood in this way that for candidates whose native language is Chinese, the way of thinking in their brains must still be the Chinese mode. When taking the test, you can choose the correct answer by analyzing the language structure; but in practical application, the difference in thinking mode inevitably brings barriers.

So, as is the case with many Asian students, they can get high scores on language tests, but they are not necessarily proficient in using the language; while many European students, on the other hand, may be proficient in a language, but often have poor test scores. . This is mainly the result of differences in educational methods, educational content and language orientation.

Andy was stunned for a moment, "You mean, your test scores won't be very good, but you can speak fluent Chinese?" After making a judgment, Andy showed a look of disgust, "If If I wasn't familiar with you, I would have thought you were bragging."

Renly shrugged noncommittally.

The half-smiley expression made Andy pause for a moment: Is Renly really bragging? But Andy also knew that no matter what Renly's answer was, it didn't seem right. In order to avoid getting himself into a pit, he decided to cut off the topic in advance and get back to business.

"Just a call from Thomas Tour," Andy said succinctly, then caught Renly's slightly puzzled look and had to add, "Legendary Pictures. 'Jurassic Park.'"

Renly nodded slightly in understanding.

"Universal Pictures has officially discussed within the company, $20 million plus 6% box office dividends, they are willing to nod and agree to sign the contract." After Andy finished speaking, he quietly watched Renly, as if waiting Responded, but saw that Renly was unmoved at all, as if there was no reaction at all, "What do you think?"

"Your opinion?" Renly asked instead without saying much.

"We should say no," Andy said affirmatively.

Renly didn't seem surprised, and nodded lightly again.

Andy shook his head helplessly, and finally said, "I just said no on the phone, I think Thomas didn't give you enough respect, and suggested that they find another suitable actor; then Thomas immediately changed his tune and agreed. 10% of the box office dividends, but I still don’t agree, I just said that I should ask your opinion.”

"Thomas has no sincerity. He always lacks respect. In my opinion, I have stated the bottom line before, and the final idea has been confirmed through discussions within Universal Pictures; but Thomas is still testing by phone, such a cooperation The attitude is really unsatisfactory.”

"Wait... Did you already know?" Andy's mind flashed, and he suddenly realized something was wrong.
