Chapter 343 "Effect"(2/3)
"I think the most important purpose now is to prepare the crew. I came to the UK with you, not for tourism."
"Of course I know, but this is your first day here! Don't keep working like a robot. How did you entertain me when I went to China? Then how will I entertain you when you come to Liverpool?"
, believe me, this is the last time before finishing the movie, let’s go, let’s go!”
After hearing what Mickey said, Lu Ze had no choice but to follow his footsteps and passed several bars along the way. Many young people dressed in fashionable clothes stood in line at the door of the bar to check their ID cards. Unfortunately, neither of them ended up in these bars.
Finally, twenty minutes later, Mickey brought Lu Ze to a stop, stood at the door of a bar called Lion Heart, and made a gesture of invitation to Lu Ze.
Entering the pub, he was greeted by the smell of alcohol and loud noises, but Lu Ze also breathed a sigh of relief. Compared with nightclubs where electronic music was playing non-stop, this kind of English-style football night game was on the TV.
The old bar is even more popular with middle-aged people like Lu Ze.
"Hey! Mickey! Your new boyfriend?"
"I'm not a pervert who likes wearing leather underwear, right? James? Hey! Elena! You're beautiful again."
It seems that Mickey is still a celebrity here. There are many guests who greet him and make jokes. Occasionally, a drunkard who drinks too much and talks loudly fires a map gun, but Mickey immediately scolds him back, explaining what it means to be sharp-tongued and sharp-tongued.
Lu Ze's focus is on the overall environment of the bar, which is similar to the English bar in the movie. The wooden structure decoration looks very retro, but the walls are covered with photos. Even though Lu Ze doesn't pay much attention to football anymore.
, and also recognized many of Liverpool’s famous players and the team’s historical players.
"Mickey, what have you been doing these past two days? Why is there no one around?"
After finding an empty seat and sitting down, a girl wearing waiter clothes came over. She looked like a typical Western beauty, with a hot body, blond hair and blue eyes. She was chewing gum and chatting and laughing with Mickey. When Lu Ze walked in,
I already knew her name.
"I just came back from China and kidnapped a friend."
"Huaxia? Is it fun? How is the scenery?"
"Scenery? I don't know. I only stayed in China for two days and drank too much. Let me introduce you to Elena, the daughter of the bar owner. This is Lu Ze. You can call him loser. Of course, I also changed my name.
, I am also called loser, two losers...that's it.
Lu Ze didn't mind this kind of self-deprecating joke, and just waved his hand to Elena. Instead, the girl shook Mickey's shoulder and tried to comfort Mickey. After all, everyone knew what Mickey was like, but Lu Ze
I always feel like there is something going on between this girl and Mickey.
"Stop talking about this, what would you like to drink?"
"A bottle of Black Label, two ounce glasses, and two glasses of ale. When we finish drinking, we will have two more glasses of beer until one of us lies down. What do you want, Lu Ze?"
"Whatever you order, I will drink."
The girl understood and returned shortly after leaving with drinks and snacks. After setting them on the table, she greeted the other guests with a smile.
At this moment, Mickey unscrewed the whiskey, filled two ounce glasses, and then threw the ounce glasses directly into the beer, creating a thick layer of foam. He handed Lu Ze a cigarette, lit it and raised the glass.
"cheers!"
Perhaps because this way of drinking is easy to get drunk, or perhaps because of the time difference, as soon as they finished the second cup, the two of them became a little tipsy and blended into the bar environment, shouting loudly at the rugby players on TV until they collided.
As soon as the third cup was raised, a pair of arms was placed on Mickey's shoulders.
"Look who this is? Mickey, how are you? My friend, I haven't seen you for a few days. I thought you were in jail again. Is prison food still to your liking?"
Not to mention Mickey, even Lu Ze changed his expression instantly. You must know that jail is a scar that Mickey cannot mention, but this person keeps adding salt to Mickey's wounds. This proves that he... is not a friend.
.
"What did you say?"
After flicking the ashes from his cigarette, Lu Ze stared at this drunkard wearing a wrinkled and unseemly suit with a face as red as his butt. He didn't mind having a fight with his grandson. He would definitely be able to beat him anyway. Really.
If it doesn't work, just call someone. The fight is so fierce that there are a lot of things in his mind.
"It has nothing to do with you as an outsider, you know? I've never been racist, but I hate those self-righteous outsiders. I don't care if you are Asian or Chinese-American, this is Liverpool."
But before Lu Ze could stand up, Mickey pushed him down. He shook his head at Lu Ze and asked Lu Ze to sit back down. At this time, Elena also walked over in a hurry.
"You'd better not make trouble in my house. If you drink, drink honestly. If you don't, get out of here. Dave, I hate you."
This man has a grudge against Mickey, but he would not dare to argue with Elena in the tavern. After all, 80% of the people sitting in the tavern are regular customers, and among these old customers, 100%
Ninety percent of his life was spent watching Elena grow up. If he didn't want to have his brains beaten out, he had to be honest and obedient.
"Okay, then I'll have a glass of Chivas Regal with a slice of lime."
This drunkard was obviously drunk, but he was still not unconscious. He waved his hand and honestly found an empty seat to sit down. Elena smiled at Mickey before turning and leaving.
"who is he?"
"I used to have a neighbor whose company went bankrupt. He was living on alcohol. His wife got divorced and took away the children. He borrowed money from me when he ran out of relief funds. When I didn't lend it to him, he hated me. No one here likes me.
He, after all, is from Liverpool, you can't do anything with him, otherwise no one here will welcome you, unless..."
Mickey shook his head, and after clinking glasses with Lu Ze, he waved to Elena again, running over again and again, which made the girl obviously unhappy. Even if he was interested in Mickey, he would not be so bossy.
.
"What are you doing again, are you helping me lose weight?"
"No, I have something to ask you. Do you want to make a movie?"
This question obviously shocked Elena. She opened her mouth and couldn't speak for a long time. She just kept shaking her head. It was difficult for her to regain her tone and stuttered her answer.
"Who wouldn't like it? But I have a few pounds, and I know that this kind of joke is boring, so don't be funny."
"No, what I said is true. Although my new movie is low-budget, it is not a joke to you. Female lead, do you want to film it?"
"Can I really do that?"
"Stop talking nonsense, do you want to do it?"
"certainly!"
Lu Ze was naturally surprised by Mickey's ridiculous decision, but after all, Elena was right in front of him, and he couldn't object in front of her. He could only drink beer silently, while Mickey smiled and clenched his hands.
He leaned on the table and stretched his neck to look at Lu Ze.
"Do you know what I just meant?"
"What's the meaning?"
"You are an outsider, you can't beat him, unless the Liverpool people beat him themselves..."
As soon as he finished speaking, Mickey stood up instantly, walked towards Dave, grabbed the wine glass from Dave's hand, and smashed it on his head. The wall of the whiskey glass was very thick, so it didn't break. Mickey threw it
He threw the wine glass aside. Obviously, he was afraid that something would happen if he continued to smash it, so he could only kick Dave down, sit on his waist, and punch him in the face.
The surrounding guests were watching the excitement and started cheering under the influence of alcohol, until the bar owner came out of the bar, more than two meters tall, and threw Mickey aside like a chicken.
"Mitch, you're going to beat him to death. This is my territory. You can't make trouble here. Elena, call the police and let the police handle it. But before that, you have to compensate me for the losses."
"No one can humiliate my friends! No one!"
Mickey was so drunk that he didn't seem to have beaten him enough. After all, he was the male protagonist of the fan version of "The Adventures of Jackie Chan". The moment he was thrown out, he got up and rushed over, but he couldn't get out of the bar owner's thighs, which were even bigger than Mickey's.
Thick arms.
"That's enough Mickey! One hundred pounds and get out."
"But he scolded my friend!"
"But he is not my friend."
Seemingly realizing that the boss was here, he could no longer beat Dave. Lu Ze also hurried over to grab Mickey, took out a hundred pounds and was about to leave. At this time, he turned off the engine, panted violently, and sat aside.
He washed the blood and wounds on his hands with beer, but the boss did not intend to let Mickey and Lu Ze stay in the bar anymore.
"Go away, go home and wake up, wait for the police to come to your door, Elena, see how Dave is doing."
"You better not kick me out, I'm serious Depp, your daughter is the heroine of my movie, you want to kick out the director of your daughter?"
After hearing the news, Depp first looked at Elena. After getting confirmation, he looked at Mickey up and down. Of course he knew that Mickey was a very powerful director. It is no exaggeration to say that the whole of Europe knew that there was a genius director in Liverpool.
, but now he is fully aware of Mickey's situation, and he is skeptical about whether Mickey can still make movies.
"You? Can you still make movies? Who will invest in drug addicts?"
"First of all, I don't smoke sex, never have! In addition, although my new movie investment is not large, it has been approved. Do you want to follow me to check my bank account? If you have never respected me."
There was a huge difference in stature between the two, but Mickey looked at Depp without any timidity. It wasn't until Depp saw that he was indeed confident that he nodded, grabbed Dave's collar like a dog to death, and pulled him away.
After throwing it on the roadside, he returned to the bar and waved to Mickey.
"You and your friends come and sit at the bar. I think... we need to talk. First of all, who is the male protagonist?"
"That's my friend."
"Asian?"
"What? Looking down on Asians?"
"Of course not, I'm just curious."
"Best Newcomer at the China Golden Rooster Awards, Best Actor at the Golden Rooster Awards twice, Best Actor at the Hong Kong Film Awards, Best Actor at the Bay Area Golden Horse Awards, Nominated for Best Actor at Cannes, you are already arrogant
Have you looked down on the winner of four trophies at Asia's top film festivals? Are you not a primitive person? Check it out online."
The series of titles really deceived all the spectators in the bar, including Depp. The Golden Rooster Awards and Golden Horse Awards may not be well-known in Europe, but as the Hong Kong of Eastern Hollywood, the name of the Academy Awards is still widely known. In addition, Cannes
