The Great Era of Rebirth: 1993

   Find uncle's phone number and start dialing. Just one click.

"Hello."

   "Aunt, it's me."

   "Mei Mei is you. It's dinner time in the US, right? Have you eaten dinner yet?" Zhou Rong asked.

   Yuan Mei replied: "I have eaten, just eaten, is my cousin at home? I have something to do with her."

   Zhou Rong said, "I haven't gotten up yet, wait a minute, I'll call her."

   said, Zhou Rong put down the phone and pushed the door into Wenhui's bedroom.

   It's past 6 in the morning, and Wen Hui has woken up and is reading a book by the bedside, watching "The Sound of Wind".

Next to    lies a sleepy cousin, Lin Sisi.

   Zhou Rong glanced at the back of the book cover in his daughter's hand and whispered to her, "Your cousin called you."

   Hearing this, before Wen Hui said anything, Lin Sisi opened her eyes suddenly and answered, "Auntie, is that Yuan Mei?"

   Zhou Rong smiled and nodded: "It's her."

  Lin Sisi sat up and said, "This guy still owes me a set of dinosaur figures. He keeps letting me doves. No, I have to find her this time."

The dinosaur figure in Lin Sisi's mouth is derived from the peripheral products of the movie "Jurassic Park". The last time she saw this movie in the United States, she was shocked, and she has been thinking about it since then, thinking of asking her cousin to send a dinosaur hand. Make her a memorial.

  Wen Hui smiled knowingly, put "Wind Sound" on the bedside table, and started to get out of bed and walked towards the living room.

"grandfather."

  Wen Hui first said hello to her grandfather who was reading the newspaper on the sofa, then picked up the receiver on the coffee table and called, "Cousin."

   "It's past 6 o'clock on your side, it should have been a long time since dawn this season, why haven't you gotten up yet?" Yuan Mei babbled when he caught it.

  Wen Hui threw the pot to Lin Sisi, who came out: "Second sister kept yelling by my side last night and slept late."

   After a few homework, Yuan Mei began to go straight to the topic and asked, "Huihui, I want to ask you something, did Zhang Xuan and Du Shuangling break up?"

   Facing this very abrupt question, Wen Hui was a little startled, "No."

   Hearing the word "no", Yuan Mei couldn't believe it. He looked back at the Korean restaurant and confirmed it: "Really?"

  Wenhui still replied: "No."

   Yuan Mei said: "Do you know why I ask that?"

Although Wen Hui is puzzled, her mind has started to clear her mind. It is now August 3. The newspaper reported that he went to the United States to accept the award yesterday, and now the eldest cousin mentioned this matter, she must have met him or saw him in the United States. Related news, and there is a woman beside him, that woman is not a double actress.

   figured out the cause and effect very quickly, but Wen Hui still didn't say anything, she knew that her cousin would definitely talk about it.

   Sure enough, Yuan Mei continued: "Do you know who I met? I met Zhang Xuan at a Korean restaurant in Los Angeles. He was very close to a woman, but that person was not Du Shuangling."

The living room in the early morning was so quiet that several people around heard the voice of the phone. Zhang Xuan was a big celebrity after all. Hearing his lace news, even Mr. Wen, who never cared much about trivial matters, turned his head over, obviously. Also curious.

   And Zhou Rong, who was going to make breakfast, also stood by the coffee table and didn't move. It is rare to see such a powerful writer in China, and he knew this writer himself, which immediately aroused the curiosity of the university professor.

  Lin Sisi couldn't bear it the most, so she reached out and pressed the speakerphone, and asked gossip, "Who is that woman?"

  Yuan Mei knew Lin Sisi's temperament, and didn't care that she suddenly came out: "I don't know who it is, but she is very beautiful and has a good temperament."

  Lin Sisi was even more excited: "How beautiful?"

   Yuan Mei said: "I can't describe how beautiful she is, but according to my mother's words: she is a little jealous, and she can't help but look at it several times."

  Lin Sisi glanced at Wenhui and asked, "How is it with Huihui?"

  Yuan Mei made a comparison in his mind: "It's hard to say, but at least it's between equals."

   Hearing this, Wen Hui has already guessed who the other party is, Mi Jian. Thinking of this name, she recalled the scene when Shuang Ling often called this name in her dreams

   Then his thoughts were scattered, and Shuang Ling seemed to have called    his own "name" in a dream..

Wen Hui was in a trance here, Lin Sisi would not let this big news go, and asked eagerly, "Tell me, tell me in detail, what clothes she wears, how tall is she, how is her figure? How close is she to Zhang Xuan, Holding hands? Or hugging each other?"

Yuan Mei described: "Well, in white clothes, she's still quite tall, I feel taller than me, I'm 165, she should be about 168, her figure is similar to Huihui, neither fat nor thin, but her temperament is real. Super good, hey, tell you, as a woman, I'm a little jealous of Zhang Xuan."

  Who said middle-aged women don't gossip? Who says literate people don't gossip? No, Zhou Rong, who heard this, left in a hurry and sat down on the side sofa.

  Lin Sisi was in a hurry: "You haven't told me whether the other party and Zhang Xuan are holding hands or hugging!" Yuan Mei laughed and scolded: "It's true that the emperor is not in a hurry for the eunuch, what does it have to do with you?"

Lin Sisi replied, "Why doesn't it matter? At that time, my mother was thinking of pulling a red line for Zhang Xuan and Huihui, but even now my mother has not given up completely. I'm seeking information, understand? Huihui? So beautiful, so good, it’s fortunate that I didn’t get into Zhang Xuan’s pit, or else I would have to peel off the skin if I encounter this kind of playboy.”

The word "playboy" stimulated Zhou Rong, she quietly observed her daughter's facial expressions.

   Coincidentally, Mr. Wen, who has always been very keen and opposed to his younger daughter's red line, has also diverted his attention.

   Feeling the gaze from her grandfather and her own mother, Wen Hui's left hand, which had subconsciously tightened her trouser leg, relaxed instantly, calmly took a clean cup from the coffee table, and poured herself a cup of warm water.

   Seeing this, Zhou Rong breathed a sigh of relief, and his eyes fell on the red landline again.

   Old Man Wen glanced at Wen Hui's left thigh, then shook the newspaper in his hand, and continued to listen while reading the newspaper.

   Yuan Mei said: "It's not that Zhang Xuan and the girl are alone, and the girl's family is there, how can they hold hands and hug."

  Lin Sisi was greatly disappointed: "If you don't hold hands, don't hug, how can you confirm that the two are dating? How can you confirm that Zhang Xuan is on two boats?"

  Yuan Mei said: "It's simple. When two people order food, they don't shy away from touching their heads. You can tell they are a couple by looking at their language. Not only I think so, but my mother and dad also think so.

Even when Zhang Xuan greeted us, he said that he was out to play with his family, and the girl was very similar to another middle-aged woman. At first glance, you could tell that they were mother and daughter. They were obviously family members of the woman. This is not a target. , the woman's parents will allow the two to be so close? "

  Lin Sisi asked, "Are you sure?"

Yuan Mei said: "Your aunt is from Fenghuaxueyue. She asked Du Shuangling and Zhang Xuan if they had broken up before? And the first sentence she greeted Zhang Xuan was, "You are here with your girlfriend's family after receiving the award. play here? "In the face of my mother's question, Zhang Xuan admitted it instead of denying it."

   "Wow! It's really big news! Do you think I'll get paid handsomely if I put this news in the newspapers?" Lin Sisi said exaggeratedly with bright eyes.

   Hearing these shocking words, the three people in the living room looked at Lin Sisi in unison.

  Lin Sisi is in the most hilarious state of fantasy, unaware of the eyes of the people next to you: "Since you are traveling, you must have brought cameras, right? Did you take pictures?"

   Yuan Mei said, "No."

Lin Sisi instigated: "Go back! Go back to take pictures! This is big news. I have already thought about the news headline "A generation of writers treads two boats." Front page news."

   Yuan Mei was speechless: "I remember that Huihui seems to have a very good relationship with him. My aunt and uncle also always praised him and would agree with you to do this? You don't lack money, are you crazy?"

"Uh!" Lin Sisi, who had reacted, saw that there were three pairs of eyes facing him in the living room, and immediately said with a hilarious smile: "I'm not too excited, hey, think about it, one man and two women, a man is still so famous , Both women are so beautiful, is this big news? Will it be criticized by thousands of people?"

Yuan Mei was old and thoughtful: "It's definitely big news, but it's not necessarily what thousands of people say. Zhang Xuan is a literati. From ancient times to today, there are no literati who are not romantic, and they are not married. The tolerance level will be much higher.

   The most important thing is that his fame and the words he wrote have allowed the world to see different Chinese people. I think there are still many people in China who don't want to see him have an accident, right? "

Speaking of this, Yuan Mei added: "At least I don't want to see him have an accident. You don't know that now in a foreign country, whenever Zhang Xuan appears in the news paper, someone next to me will give me a thumbs up, "You guys China has a stakeholder".

   You may not feel what the foreigner said, but for those of us in foreign countries, the blood is accelerating, and we regard him as an idol. That sense of honor makes us proud. To put it badly, if Zhang Xuan could like me, I would be willing to have **** with him. "

   "Cough cough! .."

   Yuan Mei's words shocked everyone!

Wen Hui, Zhou Rong, and Lin Sisi were all okay, but they understood a little after being shocked: although they knew that Yuan Mei had changed her nationality back to China at the strong request of her grandfather, but after all, she grew up accepting Western ideas. The ***" concept of wishing is not so shocking to the world.

  The old man Kewen was different. He couldn't listen to the tradition and coughed three times in a row.

   Hearing three coughs, Yuan Meiren was dumbfounded, and his voice immediately dropped a few decibels: "Grandpa is there?"

  Lin Sisi lowered her head and smirked: "Yes."

   "Lin Sisi, you killed me!" After saying that, Yuan Mei hurriedly dropped the phone.

   Seeing the phone hang up, Lin Sisi muttered, "I haven't even told her about the dinosaur figures, this guy just hung up."

   Then Lin Sisi turned her head and said to Wen Hui, "I didn't expect that Zhang Xuan, who was a talented person and looked harmless to humans and animals, was so carefree that he actually stepped on two boats."

  Wen Hui smiled warmly and did not answer.

  Lin Sisi didn't give up: "Did you find him so dishonest at school?"

  Wenhui thought for a while and said, "He is quite serious at school. The woman my cousin said should be Mi Jian. We all know that she and Zhang Xuan have always had a good relationship."

   Zhou Rong asked the first sentence: "Shuang Ling also knows?" Wen Hui hummed softly.

   Mr. Wen glanced at Wen Hui, put down the newspaper, got up and walked away with his little hands behind his back.

  The cat glanced at Old Man Wen's back, and when the door closed, Lin Sisi stuck out his tongue: "Is Grandpa angry?"

  Wen Hui smiled and said, "It should be a little bit, but it will be fine after a while."

  Lin Sisi was relieved, and changed the topic again: "Yuan Mei's Mi Jian is so good-looking, Du Shuangling knows the relationship between the two, do you still rest assured?"

  Wen Hui took a sip of warm water and said quietly, "They are very close after a few high schools."

  Lin Sisi gestured with her fingers: "If I were Du Shuangling and my boyfriend was so close to a woman who was prettier than me, I would definitely be jealous to death."

  Wen Hui pouted, "So you can't be a double actor."

  Lin Sisi sighed: "It's true, I can't attract Zhang Xuan either."

  Wenhui drank a glass of water, got up and went back to the bedroom, intending to change out of her pajamas and get up.

Lin Sisi didn't follow up, but picked up the newspaper that Mr. Wen had left behind and read it. The front page news on it was the news about Zhang Xuan's second Hugo Award, with a picture: a black suit Holding a trophy.

  Lin Sisi stared at the photo for a while, and said to Zhou Rong next to him, "Auntie, Jiang is still old and hot, and it was Grandpa who had the foresight to stop my mother from playing the piano."

   Zhou Rong glanced at the photo, got up and went to his daughter's bedroom.

   Zhou Rong was a little worried, and followed up and asked, "Zhang Xuan didn't pester you at school, did he?"

  Wenhui asked calmly, "Why do you ask that?"

   Zhou Rong looked at her, and the meaning was self-evident. His daughter is so beautiful, it is inevitable that Zhang Xuan will be tempted.

  Wen Hui understood what she meant and asked back, "Mom, do you think Shuang Ling is a good person to deceive?"

   Thinking of Du Shuangling's two consecutive questions about her during the summer vacation last year, Zhou Rong can be said to have a deep memory, and immediately believed her daughter's words, but still puzzled: "Then what do you think Mi Jian is all about?"

  Wenhui changed her clothes: "I don't know the specifics, I just know that the relationship between the two has always been good, and the two actresses don't seem to mind."

   The sentence "I don't seem to mind" blurred the relationship between Zhang Xuan, Mi Jian and Du Shuangling. Zhou Rong couldn't talk much anymore, so he swallowed hard.

   Contemplating the small meeting on the spot, Zhou Rong finally glanced at the "wind sound" on the bedside table and left the bedroom.

   Hearing the sound of the door closing and the sound of footsteps walking away, Wen Hui, who had been defending his reputation before, landed on the book, and then fell into silence.

Los Angeles.

On the first day, we went to Universal Studios Hollywood, Hollywood Walk of Fame and Universal City Boulevard, rested for one night, and had breakfast the next day, the four discussed today's itinerary: check in the Hollywood sign in the morning, go to the Chinese Theater in the afternoon, and go to the Chinese Theater in the evening. Find a movie theater.

  Hollywood sign is a famous landmark in Hollywood. It is located on the hill. The 14-meter-high white capital letters "hollyood" are said to be advertisements made by local real estate developers for development in 1923.

  From the ground, the logo has a wavy appearance, which is created by the contours of the hills, and the letters themselves are the same height and level.

In fact, from the perspective of future comers, if this check-in point comes alone, it would be boring and a waste of time, but it is different when you are with your loved one. Wow, taking pictures, shouting, raising your hands, it is fun. fly.

   Seeing him showing the vigor and mischievousness that he should have like a young man, Liu Yi and Mi Pei, who have always positioned him as "steady", are really relieved, and it's good to have the sun occasionally.

   Having been together for so long this year, Liu Yi subconsciously no longer regards him as an outsider. She raised her camera and shouted to the excited two people in front of her, "Turn your heads, and I'll take a picture of you."

   Hearing the sound, Zhang Xuan and Mi Jian, who were holding hands, turned around immediately, head to head, and with a few clicks, the picture froze.

Standing on the Hollywood Hills and overlooking the whole of Hollywood, Zhang Xuan suddenly remembered the classic hug in the movie "Titanic", so he whispered in Mi Jian's ear, and he said with great anticipation: "Let's shoot against the rising sun. one."

Hearing that he was about to hug him from behind, Mi Jian, who was always generous, looked at his parents who were not far away, then lowered his head and hesitated for a while, and then followed with his right hand and stroked the fine strands of hair, seeing that he was still staring at him with burning eyes. herself, and finally she said with a faint smile: "Only once, you can seize the opportunity."

"Good." Hearing the sound of nature, Zhang Xuan came over to her with ecstasy and taught her the details. When she opened her arms shyly, he wrapped her waist around her and shouted at Liu Yi: "Auntie , take a picture for us."

  Liu Yi and Mi Pei had already noticed their movements, but they were a little numb and didn't react: Why would his always reserved daughter let him hold her like this?

   Seeing the two of them posing together, and seeing the two harmoniously resemble a painting under the rising sun, Liu Yi and Mi Pei looked at each other, and at the same time, a "good match" was born in their hearts.

  Liu Yi came back to her senses and hurriedly took a picture. Maybe it was because of both hate and love for the poses of the two, so I took a few more pictures from different angles.

After the    shooting, she also said with satisfaction to the two: "This photo should look good when it is developed, and it can be used as a wedding photo for the two of you in the future."

   Hearing the word "marriage photo", where did Mi Jian still not know that his own mother played Xiao Jiujiu? There was a smile on his face, as if he hadn't heard.

   On the other hand, Zhang Xuan happily agreed: "Is it really so good-looking, then after washing it out, Auntie has to pick the best one for us."

Liu Yi's original idea of ​​"silent and silent" was to express her opinions and demands subtly. Unexpectedly, Zhang Xuan washed his neck and stretched it out. At a glance, my daughter answered, "Okay, let's go back and find a better photo studio to wash it out."

  Mi Pei stood aside and had a panoramic view of the different expressions of the three people. When he saw that Zhang Xuan was completely sincere, his heart opened up a little, and he was happy for his daughter.

   On the way back, Mi Jian took a bottle of water from his bag, unscrewed the bottle cap and handed it to him, smiled and said, "You are satisfied.

  Although these words were ignorant, the old man still understood, blinked, took the water and drank it.

   But Mi Jian's next sentence made him shy: "Are three names allowed on the marriage certificate?"

   "Cough cough!" Zhang Xuan, who was drinking water, almost choked. He bent down and blushed, and it took a long time to recover.

  Mijian reached out and patted his back lightly, and asked, "Do you really want to marry me?"

   "Think." Zhang Xuan blurted out.

  Mijian said, "Okay, I'll call Shuangling later and ask her to free up her seat."

   Zhang Xuan's face instantly collapsed, even uglier than his dead father.

   Seeing him stuck in place with a constipated expression and speechless, Mi Jian took the water from his hand, closed the bottle cap with a sip, smiled at him, and walked forward.

  “.”

   Looking at her beautiful back, Zhang Xuan felt a surge of happiness, but at the same time he was a little worried.

  The sun was shining in the sky, and the four of them were a little tired from climbing the mountain in the morning. They took a long break for lunch before heading to the Chinese Theater.

  Chinese Theatre is usually called Grauman's Chinese Theatre. It was renamed Man's Chinese Theatre in 1973. Later, after TCL Corporation purchased the naming rights in 2013, it was called TCL Chinese Theatre.

   The theater opened in 1927 and has been the site of many birthday parties, corporate receptions, and several Oscar ceremonies since the premiere of the film The King of Kings.

The    theater can accommodate 932 people and is the third largest commercial film screen in Peking University. It is said that if you don’t experience the Grauman Chinese Theater and performances, your trip to Hollywood is not complete, which is why the four came here.

   But it is the concrete blocks of the movie stars' signatures, footprints, and handprints in the front yard that make the Chinese Theater famous all over the world.

In my memory, it seems that Jackie Chan left handprints, footprints and the iconic garlic nose here in 1997, but Zhang Xuan did not find it. At the same time, he raised his hand and told him and Mi to meet.

   When the two came over, Mi Pei happily pointed to a cement module and said, "This is the handprint and footprint of Bruce Lee, the Chinese light. Come, let's take a photo together."

   Speaking of the light of the Chinese, Zhang Xuan thought to himself, is this old man considered the light of the Chinese now?

   It’s a pity that you don’t mix in Hollywood, or you have to leave a handprint and footprint.

   After browsing the celebrity handprints and footprints, the four of them found a nearby coffee shop and went in for a break.

   Zhang Xuan ordered a cup of mocha and said to Mi Jian, "We'll go to the cinema to watch a movie later, and I don't know what new movies are coming out in Hollywood right now. Do you have anything in particular that you want to see?"

  Mimi said regretfully: "Actually, my mother and I both want to see "Casablanca", but it's too long ago, we shouldn't be able to see it."

   Hearing this, Zhang Xuan's heart moved, and he began to think about how to let Mi Jian see this movie?

   With money?

   That's true, but not so fast, I don't have a bank account in the US.

   Take advantage of your fame?

   He is a bit of a drummer, and his reputation is still a little thin in the literary world, but it is hard to say outside the literary world.

  Zhang Xuan thought of HBO TV in the United States. Logically, the cooperation between the two parties is so pleasant, and there is great hope.

In addition, he also thought of the British Penguin Publishing House, which is a comprehensive media giant with huge global influence. In the capitalist world, capital is king and capital is connected. With his friendship with the president of Penguin Publishing House, this Something shouldn't be difficult.

  Thinking like this, Zhang Xuan said to the three people on the table, "Go to the bathroom" and left his seat.

   Came to a quieter place, and Zhang Xuan dialed the personal number of the president of Penguin Publishing House.

   "Hello, SanYue." Seeing Zhang Xuan's number, AllenLane greeted enthusiastically.

   "hello, Allen,"

   It's been a while since we met. The two of them had a good opening scene, and it took 5 minutes of chatting before they got to the point.

   Zhang Declaration briefly stated his thoughts and waited for a response.

   Hearing that he wanted to watch "Casablanca", Allen hardly paused and asked directly which cinema he wanted to watch?

   Zhang announced the name of the Grauman Chinese Theatre.

When    said the name, Zhang Xuan hardly thought about it. He just felt that the word "China" in the Chinese Theater    made him a little kind.

   After the call ended, Zhang Xuan walked to the hall, but met Mi Jian at the corner of the corridor.

   asked: "How did you find it?"

  Mijian said, "I'm worried about you."

   Zhang Xuan reached out and hugged her: "I just made a call."

  Mijian looked into his eyes quietly, as if he had guessed why he called, but didn't say anything:

   "Parents are also worried about you, let's go."

"it is good."

  Mocha came up.

   As Zhang Xuan was drinking coffee and discussing with the three of them about Hollywood and other places worth visiting, there was a commotion at the entrance of the cafe.

  Look back, hoo! It turned out that the famous movie star Schwarzenegger came in. As expected, it is easy to meet big names in Hollywood!

   Seeing a lot of tourists gathered around to take pictures, Zhang Xuan asked, "Would you like to take a photo together?" Mi Jian smiled and shook his head: "My mother doesn't like his movies."

   uh., think about it too.

  The movies of Schwarzenegger, a big muscular man, are all knives and guns for a while, which is easy to attract young people, but not very attractive to middle-aged women with connotation.

   A bit of a surprise, Schwarzenegger was sitting next door.

   Zhang Xuan took a look, others glanced back, and then looked at each other.

   Suddenly Schwarzenegger said to him: "Have we met somewhere? I feel a little familiar with you."

   Zhang Xuan responded with a smile: "I know you very well and like your "Terminator" series of movies."

   At this time, the assistant spoke in detail in Schwarzenegger's ear, Schwarzenegger's eyes lit up, and Rouge got up and stretched out his hand in one go:

   "Hello, March, welcome to America, welcome to Hollywood."

  Oh, is this old man so good? Does anyone even know Hollywood?

   Although he was shy in his heart, he also got up very politely and shook hands with him.

   In the next three minutes, the two of them happily chatted and took photos with each other.

  This guy is not simple. In addition to being as strong as a cow, he also turned the nanny into his own woman. He is also a prominent figure in the romantic world. Zhang Xuan wanted to learn from him.

   Ask: Is the nanny fragrant?

  20 minutes later, Allen called back and said everything was ok and let them go to the Chinese Theater to watch the movie.

   I knew it wasn’t easy, but I didn’t expect it to be so neat and tidy, so I got the Chinese Theater right away.
