Volume 1: A sound on Wall Street, Xinxiang City is busy copying books Chapter 66: Halloween
Chapter subtitle: Trick or treat
Three hours later, on the platform of New York's Grand Central Station, a handsome man and a beautiful woman were bidding farewell to each other.
Miss Lillian Gish, whose beautiful face was full of spring, could not even stand steadily. She had to lean on Yuan Yanshu and said angrily: "It's all your fault. You made me like this..."
Our Master Yuan has already changed into a windbreaker suit. He tried very hard to suppress his smugness, but he couldn't help but burst out laughing when he heard this. "You really can't blame me. I told you three hours is not enough."
The superstar hit his chest with her fist and said angrily, "You are so mean, but... I like your meanness so much. How can you be so mean?"
Of course, it is the effect of the card "Hedonistic Devil's Kiss".
Yuan Yanshu said shamelessly: "In addition to my own extraordinary talent, we Seris people have been studying this since ancient times..."
"Okay, okay, you are a mysterious Oriental." Miss Gish blinked her big eyes and asked, "Niao, will you come to Los Angeles to see me?"
"Of course..." Our Master Yuan glanced at the train next to him and shuddered. He thought to himself that he would definitely not go by train. There was no high-speed rail in the United States in 1920. Riding a steam train for several days and nights would definitely break his bones. He would wait until there was a plane.
In fact, he didn't have to wait long, because the technology tree for passenger planes had already been opened. In fact, there were already airlines and passenger planes, and the main business of these companies was to deliver airmail packages, and there were very few people traveling by plane, and the price was also very expensive. However, in another five years, Ford would begin to produce an all-metal three-engine aircraft that could carry twelve passengers and was the first commercial flight aircraft... If he could think of a way, the speed of the appearance of such aircraft might be greatly accelerated.
Of course he will go to Los Angeles and Hollywood. Otherwise, how can he end the situation where Jews dominate Hollywood?
But it's definitely not now. Before going there, he not only needs to build up his reputation, but also has a lot of preparation to do, especially one issue that cannot be avoided, which is naturally money.
When Master Yuan thought about his financial problems, he was a little worried. He was really running out of money. He couldn't even afford to eat if things went on like this, let alone make a movie. He didn't know if they had received the letter he wrote to his family, and when would he receive the draft?
Oh, what was I showing off just now? A mosquito is still a piece of meat no matter how small it is. I should have discussed my remuneration with Helen in Manhattan earlier.
Well, after all, he still didn't have B-coins. If he had enough B-coins, would he still have to worry about money?
Yuan Yan shook his head and stopped thinking about it for the time being. He patted his chest and said with certainty, "I will definitely go. Look, I gave you the script of "Chocolat", and if I don't ask you, the heroine, for some 'compensation' when the time comes, wouldn't that be a loss?"
He just "took some time" to use the Master Ball system to search Miss Lillian Gish's life and found that in the original history, she was unmarried. Of course, this does not mean that she is a virgin, but it can also mean that she has not met a suitable husband, and it is very likely that they will rekindle their relationship when they meet future.
Besides, "Fifty Shades of Grey" was given away casually, so why should I be reluctant to give up "Chocolat"?
The big star said in surprise: "Are you really giving me the script? But David..."
Our Master Yuan is indeed an economics student. He rolled his eyes and came up with an idea: "It doesn't matter. I will write a letter of authorization and send it to you when I get back. Only with your consent can the filming of this movie start!"
"Niao, you are so nice. But I will listen to you..."
"Woo!" Just then the whistle sounded.
"Oh, I really have to go. Don't worry, I will wait for you!"
"Lillian, I will definitely come to find you!"
The two hugged each other affectionately and gave each other a goodbye kiss.
Our Master Yuan watched the big star board the train. He felt a little sad and couldn't help chanting: "The sound of the train whistle broke my heart. From now on, I will be a lonely traveler..."
“Pika Pika…”
"Master Ball, do you think it's a spoiler? This is New York in 1920, who can understand Chinese?"
"Host, you should also know that the original author of this poem has a great influence. This system is reminding you to nip it in the bud."
"Du Jian, you are such a jerk! If it weren't for your crappy system, I would have returned to my country and become his sworn brother..."
"Pika...chu!"
"Sir, what's wrong with you? Someone come quickly, someone is having a seizure here!"
It must be said that the Master Ball System, a product of a high-dimensional civilization, has a very high technological content. Although Yuan Yan was electrocuted and foamed at the mouth and twitched all over, much like an epileptic seizure, she recovered completely after a while without any sequelae... except that someone stuffed a rag into her mouth.
He had no choice but to take a taxi home while spitting.
There is a poem that goes: It is a chaotic time during Halloween, and people walking on the road don’t look like human beings.
Ghosts and monsters are everywhere, and Jack-o'-lanterns are hung on the streets.
The streets of New York are still quite lively on Halloween. Children carrying Jack-o'-lanterns (lanterns made from hollowed-out pumpkins) and dressed in strange costumes knock on doors everywhere under the guidance of their parents, fulfilling the holiday tradition of Trick or Treat. The people whose doors are knocked on also happily take out candies to give to these little troublemakers.
But it was already past midnight, so of course there were few people on the road. The area near the apartment building where Yuan Yanshu lived was even more deserted. Most of the people living there were single men, and the public security was not very good. How could there be pedestrians in the early hours of the morning?
When our Master Yuan got off the car at the door of the apartment, the cold autumn wind blew on him in the middle of the night, making him shiver uncontrollably. Not to mention, the Jack-o'-lanterns around him were floating in the wind like ghost lights, and he felt a little uneasy.
He turned up the collar of his windbreaker, turned around and was about to walk into the apartment...but when he turned around, he saw a masked man standing at the door of the apartment.
Yuan Yan was startled and looked again, only then did she see clearly that the man was not wearing a mask, but his appearance was so strange that he looked like he was wearing a crude fake mask.
The man, who was dressed in a very old-fashioned and outdated style, paced back and forth in front of the door with his hands behind his back, as if he was waiting for someone.
Seeing such a person on the street late at night, Yuan Yan couldn't help but look at him a few more times, and the old man naturally looked back at her.
Our Master Yuan thought to himself, this guy’s eyes are so strange, staring at me makes my whole body creepy, what’s with this expectant and longing expression, is he trying to give me candy… How is it possible for him to be so grown up?
He didn't like this tone, so he lowered his head and walked quickly into the apartment door. The man actually followed him in, shouting, "Wait a minute, sir. Excuse me, who are you..."
