Chapter 78 [Mulholland Road]
After dinner, the two drove to Mulholland Road, and planned to chat and stroll until midnight.
Mulholland Road is on the mountain, with various high-end communities and townhouses on the roadside, and there are several schools. The mountain road is very dark at night, and there are few lights. Only by driving slowly can you ensure safety. There are really not many night view to enjoy.
Naomi parked her car on the side of the road, and on the way, the observation deck and Yang Jian looked down at the brightly lit Los Angeles.
The whole city was like flowing flames, winding into the distance. From a distance, it gave her a vague illusion that she was the soul of birth, and was quietly looking at the first half of her life that had been noisy.
Yang Jian felt that he was in the movie, and the scenery in front of him became more and more like the beginning of "Mulholland Road".
The second female lead lost her memory when she crashed into a car, right? Naomi happened to park her car here, and there was an arrangement called fate. In the dark, she had his own will.
Naomi smiled and asked a series of questions: "Is this the place Drake chose for you (date location)? Is he really your fan? Why do I think he wants to mess with you and let you practice courage here?"
Yang Jian took a deep breath. Isn't it? He drove the Wen family's Shuangsha car in the middle of the night, and the heroine of the horror movie accompanied him... If they had a cell phone, the one who called him might be Sadako.
"No, I chose this place, I especially want to take a look." Yang Jian stretched.
"Why did you choose this place? Is there any special meaning?" Naomi was puzzled. "I have been in Los Angeles for a long time, and it was the first time I came to this place at night."
Yang Jian first went to the car and took his coat and put it on Naomi, and started telling ghost stories. "You may not believe it, I dreamed of this place. Now that I have come here, the scene in the dream has become clearer, and this is the place I see."
"What dream did you have?" Naomi felt that this man was a little childish and didn't understand romance.
"I was in college at that time and was just a substitute on the school team. I couldn't play games and I didn't even want to play basketball anymore. One day, I dreamed that I was walking on this road, which was very dark and quiet. A car drove out on the quiet road. The driving was a blond lady who was willing to take me down the mountain."
Naomi smiled and said, "You don't want to say you dreamed of me, right? Men won't succeed in using this way of picking up."
"I can't remember the face of the person in my dream. I only remember that she has blond hair, her hair is much shorter than you now, and her ear-length hair is a little curly. She said she had just attended a villa party and was about to go home." Yang Jian said some vague details.
"And what?" Naomi thought to herself that it must be me. I didn't have the opportunity to attend a villa party and be a waiter.
"Then we chatted in the car, and I can't remember the specific content. She said she was an actor who had just come to the United States and encouraged me not to give up my dreams and be strong in the face of difficulties. As long as people are strong enough and persist, they will definitely succeed in the future. I think you also need this kind of encouragement. Maybe all you lack is a chance." Yang Jian said with a smile.
Naomi stayed for a while, and when she looked up at Yang Jian, her tears couldn't stop rushing out.
It was incredible. Although the two met for the first time today, she felt that they had known Yang Jian for a long time. Now she found the reason because their experiences were very similar. Both foreigners who left their hometown and went to the United States to work alone, and they all encountered difficulties.
What Yang Jian said to her was exactly what she often said to herself. When she was late at night, she suddenly woke up and felt uncomfortable, and she would silently recite the word "strong".
The difference between them is that Yang Jian succeeded, and she has not yet dreamed of it.
She felt that Yang Jian’s dream was like the two of them had communicated with each other before they met. What she said when she was half-dream and half-awake was magically heard by another person. Today, they came to this place together.
Naomi began to believe that the woman Yang Jian dreamed of was herself. Perhaps this is a metaphysics that can only happen in Eastern people?
Yang Jian naturally hugged Naomi in her arms and gave her a support, and her heart was beating wildly. He knew that saying this would resonate, was it too much? He made all the beauty cry.
He came to this place and said these words were ready. He knew that some of the words Naomi said in an interview after she finally became famous in the parallel world.
In 2000, Naomi, who was over thirty years old, was still unknown. There is a cold saying in Hollywood that says: An actress who has not yet become famous in her 30s, the most suitable career is call girls.
The ups and downs of life did not teach Naomi anything else, but only told her to be strong and strong. Naomi said that when she was the most difficult time, she liked to recite this silently in her heart. When she had nothing, she finally seized an opportunity and became famous.
The movie she became famous was "Mulholland Road". Now Naomi just feels that she is very good at talking to Yang Jian, like a kind of person. In the future, when she sees the script of this movie, she will definitely think that the encounter between the two is destined.
The heroine played by Naomi also had a dream about Mulhollandao in the movie, a nightmare. This was the starting point for Naomi's success, when she was 33 years old.
Naomi's role as Betty and Diane may be one of the most difficult movie characters in film history, and has received a lot of praise.
She not only has to show the innocence and confidence of a newcomer, but also has to perform the struggle in despair. There is also a drama in the middle similar to the exam. She represents different stages and different destinies of Hollywood actresses in different scenes. She uses her superb acting skills in the film to prove that not only famous actors can perform at the Oscar level.
The reason why she acted so well is that she has experienced most of the things in the movie.
Naomi is not a star, she struggles hard, but her friend is a big Hollywood star (Nicole Kidman). She looks very much like Diane, but she doesn't want to kill Nicole. Betty in her dream is like when she first came to Hollywood, believing that she will succeed and be confident in the future.
The two of them returned to the car for a while, and Naomi was less excited.
"Am I ugly now?" Naomi said, wiping her face with a tissue.
"No, you cried beautifully. Unfortunately, you didn't take a photo, otherwise you would be elected as the Best Crying Scene of the Year, the Youth Choice Award." Yang Jian said with a smile.
"Are you talking about by the teenager? Do you know how old I am this year?" Naomi burst into tears and smiled.
"Of course I know, I'm always very accurate in guessing age. There is a Chinese saying that goes, "Female junior, hold gold bricks." If you want to find a girlfriend, you need to find someone older than you. I guess you are older than me and you are 22 years old this year."
Naomi was amused by him again. "I guessed wrongly, I'm 27 years old when I celebrated my birthday in the end of September."
"Then I think your mental age is only 22 years old. When you meet strangers in a restaurant, you will lower your head and blush your face and speak with a shy look. A young lady who is extremely beautiful and can't forget you at a glance. This is my impression of you."
Naomi's face turned red again when she was said by Yang Jian, and she covered her face with her hands.
It turned out that he had discovered my abnormality long ago. Is this a love at first sight?
No, I am 27 years old, how can I be scared by a child? If you like it, you like it. What can I hide?
Naomi made up her heart and took the initiative to kiss Yang Jian. Yang Jian was stunned for a moment and didn't hesitate, and immediately responded. A British man and a Chinese man had a French-style deep kiss.
Sometimes love is so unreasonable. Although they have only known each other for a day, they will sway each other's lips with their tongues when they have disagreements. (I am Gu Amo, today I want to tell a story about driving on Mulholland Road)
I don’t know how long it took, but both of them felt that it was a bit long and they had to go down the mountain first and then consider continuing to drive.
Naomi asked, “Where are we going?”
"I want to go back to the hotel, do you want to go home?" Yang Jian asked tentatively.
"Don't you want to invite me back to the hotel?" Naomi took the initiative and took out her sister's appearance.
"Of course I hope you will go back to the hotel with me." Yang Jian swallowed.
Naomi smiled and started the car. Yang Jian now believed Drake's words. It turned out that his charm was really great.
