It was almost dusk, walking on the road of a small town with flying snowflakes. Jiaming made a mocking sigh. Next to him was Yahan, who was playing snowballs all the way. The street lights turned on, and the orange light illuminated the streets of the small town.
The light was soothing and leisurely, not many people passed by, and the windows of every house were lit up.
It was just the two of them, no Mike, no Waylon, and no more people they knew.
The challenge in the afternoon was accepted by Mike without any suspense. According to their conversation, the cause of the incident was very simple. It was just a small conflict over a jealous woman, and then it turned into a one-on-one duel between men.
It was something that could only be ended once and for all. Later, with Viren's explanation, they also learned more about the situation. There were actually many retired veterans living in this town, and some were elites who had joined the special forces, and most of them were
Black people. For this reason, in the eyes of these people, fists may be easier to solve problems than the law. Since then, a martial custom unique to the town has been established. Once there is a conflict among the children in the town, they will agree to the next day.
Find a place to fight once at the same time.
Viren also grew up in the town. Although he became a policeman, he was already used to this custom. After all, being able to solve everything fairly once and for all is actually much better than being endlessly jealous. Mike
As soon as he agreed, the matter was decided, and the two of them would have a duel in an abandoned factory outside the town the next afternoon. Jia Ming could agree with this method of solving the problem, but...
He couldn't stand being called a coward. This was the source of his emotion. With such a psychological weakness, he had killed many people.
"Okay, I know you never care about those boring things, right?"
Walking next to him, Yahan smiled faintly. According to Mike and Viren's ideas, he planned to accompany them to visit the town, but Yahan stayed in the hotel on the grounds of feeling uncomfortable and waited until the two left.
She asked Jiaming to come out with her. This was a little plan in her mind. However, there was not much to see in the town at this time. The few shops were basically closed on a snowy day when no outsiders came.
, what you can feel may just be the warm atmosphere of a small town.
"Do you know the secret to being undefeated in a verbal confrontation?" Jiaming turned around and asked.
"What?"
"Just don't ever take what the other person says seriously. If you care, you will definitely lose."
“Can you please stop treating swearing as if it’s an Olympic-like knowledge?”
"But it's very useful for you girls."
"When did I ever curse?" Yahan laughed and protested.
"Always be prepared."
The town is not big, and only a few streets can be seen in the vertical and horizontal directions. The mountains and rivers far and near have been covered with snow. At this time, night has fallen. Only the outline of the two people can be seen, and the two people are in the light of the street lights.
Walking forward leisurely, when I arrived at the entrance of the town, I found that there was a store next to the gas station that was still open. At the counter, the middle-aged boss was leaning sideways and watching the TV hanging on the wall. The two of them.
When he pushed the door open and walked in, the boss looked back, then probably thought that the two of them would be harmless, and said with a smile: "Please feel free to do whatever you want." He turned around and continued watching the movie.
It is connected to a gas station. The supermarket is mostly designed to take care of customers who travel long distances. Most of the places display fast food, drinks, backpacks for long trips, and many things for entertainment on the road. However, there are also some
There are various books and videos on display in a small area. It seems that this small supermarket has more opportunities to serve the residents of the town. In this kind of weather, there is no good place for a date. Two people can look at the snow scene back to back.
Romance may be very effective for boys and girls of the same age, but one is a female teacher who is six or seven years older, and the other is a young killer who is a student but has an extremely mysterious background. Even though the positions of both parties are very vague, no matter what
Doing something like that would probably only make people laugh, and now I can only wander around in the only supermarket that is open. Yahan flipped through the English books on the bookshelf, and Jia Ming went outside to watch the adventure.
bags and simple tents. Occasionally, I took out an expedition saber to look at.
The snowflakes outside the window were still falling, probably because it was boring to look at the store alone, and he was sure that the two of them would not cause any harm, so the boss ignored this strange-looking male and female pairing. After turning around, Jia Ming
He took a bottle of soda to Yahan, opened one for himself, and then went to the counter to pay: "Is it okay to read here and read?"
"Please feel free to move over to the sofa over there." Hearing that Jiaming spoke fluent English, the boss seemed a little surprised, and then laughed, "Japanese?"
"Chinese."
"Oh, China... I went to Vietnam more than 20 years ago..."
"Vietnam War?"
"It's not a good memory... something like war..." The boss picked up a glass of wine by the counter and showed a kind smile, "China's military is very powerful, especially their spirit... But China at that time
Very backward, how are you doing now? Oh, you speak English so fluently, do you live in New York?"
"No, we have been in China and we are traveling this time. China... is pretty good now. You can go there when you have time."
"must."
They smiled at each other, and Jiaming took the soda and walked towards Yahan. The supermarket was not big, and although it was covered by the sound of the TV, Yahan could still hear clearly the conversation between the two. At this time, he frowned and said: "Really
I hate the feeling when people ask us whether we are Japanese or Korean as soon as we open our mouths..." She spent three years studying in Cambridge, so she naturally understands China's current position in the world, but Jiaming smiled indifferently.
Laughing: "It will be fine in a few years, and then China will become the first choice."
"You know again?"
"certainly."
Yahan stared at him for a while, and then smiled with satisfaction: "I don't see that you are quite patriotic. You are indeed imitating the Young Pioneers." In the past, whenever he did something, Jia Ming would always say, "This is what the Young Pioneers should do."
"God knows how long it has been since he voluntarily left the Young Pioneers, but Yahan naturally knows all about his mantra.
After drinking soda, they moved the sofa and stools, and the two stopped in the book area. Yahan took an English novel called "Perfume - The Story of a Killer" and started reading it. Naturally, she was because of "The Killer"
This word only interested me in books. Jiaming rummaged around and read comics such as "Superman" and "Batman". The more he read, the more he felt that the style of American comics was not as good as Japanese comics. This bookshelf is designed with a practical style
Mainly books, or magazines, with few comics and literary classics. There were a lot of Playboy and other magazines in the corner, but he didn't bother to look through them. Finally, he picked up a cooking tutorial and read it with gusto. Yahan
I glance at him from time to time, and I can't help but roll my eyes several times when I see that he is reading a cookbook instead of a magazine.
In the small store, time passed like this minute by minute. Yahan was flipping through the novel, Jiaming occasionally walked around, and the boss was watching the TV with interest. The color TV hanging on the wall was broadcasting Nicolas Cage's fourth episode this year.
The new film "Heaven" released in March
". When the movie's theme song "ANGLE" started playing with a soothing female voice halfway through the movie, Yahan couldn't help but put down the book, and Jiaming, who was reading a magazine, also turned around.
"Use all your time to wait for another chance.
Waiting for the right turning point again.
There is always some reason why you feel inappropriate.
When the day is coming to an end, I need to take a breath. I need a beautiful exit..."
The female voice was melodious and melodious, as perfect as the sound of nature. For a moment, it seemed that the entire quiet supermarket was enveloped in the magic of this singing voice. In such a quiet and warm snowy night, with such a singing voice, it definitely has the power to infect everyone.
The power of power. On TV, the heroine is looking for Seth alone in the villa, and Seth has been following her...
—
"...Wrapped in the wings of an angel, soar far away from the world.
Stay away from the dark chamber and the fearful infinity.
You are pulled out of the swamp of fantasy and freed from the indulgence of silence.
Wrapped in the wings of an angel, may you find solace..."
After a few minutes, the song gradually slowed down, and the heroine on the TV fell asleep peacefully accompanied by Seth. Yahan opened her mouth: "What kind of movie is Nicolas Cage's..."
"City of Angels..." Jia Mingshun pointed to the shelf where the video tapes were placed. Yahan followed his instructions and pulled out the video tape: "There seems to be a video recorder in the hotel... Let's buy it back and see if it's good. This song
The song is very nice.”
"Uh..." Jiaming smiled, then shrugged in agreement.
Now that I have decided to go back to watch a movie, French fries, melon seeds, soda and other things are naturally indispensable. Yahan happily bought a large bag of snacks in the supermarket, and the two of them returned to the hotel together. It was only about eight o'clock, and in the lobby below
It was quite lively. The two returned to Yahan's room, closed the door, took out snacks, moved the seats, and started to play the video. Yahan turned off the light, and the two sat on the sofa where they had lunch, separated by the room.
There was a small table filled with snacks, but to Jiaming, it looked like footage from a tea party in Zhongnanhai.
"Don't you think?" When Jia Ming told Yahan his thoughts, Yahan took a big bag of potato chips and smashed it on his head and said with a smile: "Eat your food."
In terms of plot, the plot of "City of Angels" is not very innovative. An angel who brings the dead in the hospital falls in love with a doctor, and then he decides to become a human. When the two finally have a romantic relationship,
Later, when the doctor died in a car accident, it would be an even more outrageous turn. And the song "ANGLE" is undoubtedly >: Cage's superb acting skills, for artistic expression, anything with a specific reference is actually a good expression
However, for abstract things like angels and gods, a person cannot have a concrete inference. However, Nicholas's performance really expressed a certain dehumanized "angel" feeling. This is certainly a certain kind of
It's a non-mainstream concept, but compared to the "gods" in countless movies who can't break away from human nature and appear stiff, Seth, played by Nicholas Keys, is enough to give the audience a feeling closer to god.
However, regardless of the movie, it was not very tempting for Jiaming. Sitting in the darkness watching romance movies with Yahan, he was bored and thinking about other things in his heart, and occasionally perfunctory Yahan's words.
When speaking, as usual, it is natural to play devil’s advocate.
"Hey, Nicolas Cage's eyes are so handsome..."
"It's a bit scary when you stare wide open."
"The angel in the black trench coat... is so cool, and he has a great figure..."
"For an angel, don't you think he has too much hair on his chest?"
"This is how you look manly. What do you know, you little kid? Americans are so difficult to understand. Why do you think this woman wants to marry that doctor if she likes Seth?"
"Are you sure it's a rational choice to talk to a little kid about something as profound as love?"
"cut……"
Taking off her shoes, Yahan curled up her legs on the sofa. When the heroine died in a car accident, she watched the ending in silence. In the darkness, she didn’t know if she cried. When the subtitles appeared, she was in the dark.
Zhong asked aloud: "Hey, since the heroine died and went to heaven, why doesn't Seth die? Anyway, he used to be an angel, so he has no fear of death, and he can go to heaven to meet the heroine...
…Hey, are you asleep?”
Half a minute after she finished speaking, Jiaming next to her seemed to have fallen asleep on the sofa. The subtitles on the TV were all black and there was no light. It was difficult to see Jiaming's expression from such a distance. She knelt down on the sofa angrily.
On the bed, half of his body leaned over the small table, and he stretched out his hand and waved it in front of Jia Ming's eyes: "Hey, I'm talking to you, and I'm actually sleeping in such a good movie..."
Looking at Jiaming's sleeping face from a close distance, Yahan felt a little frustrated, but it was unclear where this frustration came from. At this time, Jiaming opened his eyes lazily: "
Because this is what the movie should promote, be positive and optimistic, make progress every day, and study hard..."
The look in her eyes was that she probably thought the movie was boring, but she didn't have much sleepiness. Looking at each other, Yahan laughed: "Oh, I thought you were asleep..." She was about to sit back on the sofa, but her voice gradually disappeared in her throat.
, with the stretched out body maintaining that posture.
Gradually, the deliberate smile finally faded away. She pursed her lips lightly, took a deep breath, and then kissed Jiaming on the mouth.
In the dark and quiet room, there was the first kiss between the teacher and student who were seven years apart...
*************************
I have a lot to say, but after hesitating for a long time, I will write some things as a summary of this volume after a few sections. I recommend "City of Angels". I watched this movie several years ago, but I couldn't understand it at the time.
, I rewatched it recently and suddenly found it very interesting, and I especially recommend the theme song "ANGLE" in it, 1>+
Recently, I suddenly contacted some old classmates, and then finished watching "Ocean of Stars". In addition, I was running around for my younger brother to transfer to another school. My mood was very affected. This kind of mood may be suitable for writing a melancholy novella, but
I don't have much time. I first watched "Star Ocean" many years ago when I was in high school. I stopped updating it at that time, and then he continued to update the rest. I didn't watch it. All the MM in my memory were still good. I watched it this time.
After that, those places passed away. The erosion of time and the sense of powerlessness of human beings are more unforgettable than many tragedies... Haha, I suddenly feel that it is somewhat similar to the writing style of Ocean of Stars. I always habitually imitate others...
…
It’s a lot more incoherent. Well, this is still a YY article. Don’t worry, I won’t write a tragedy just because it’s a tragedy ^_^
