The paparazzi who were waiting at the parking lot opposite the back door of the Sunset Tower Hotel made a commotion, and they all turned their eyes to the vertical street on the right, and then they could see three paparazzi running back in a hurry, shouting loudly, " Really, really! Renly actually went into the trailer, and he chatted with the waiter and ordered a coffee and a sandwich."

"Wow," the paparazzi suddenly became excited and exchanged glances one by one.

"You say, are we going to follow this lead? Maybe Renly is waiting for someone special in the trailer? Gossip maybe?"

"I think it might be something big, otherwise how could Renly leave Oscar night alone?"

"I don't think so. Last year and the year before, Renly didn't attend Oscar night, so why is this year the exception? I think Renly just didn't want to stay any longer, so he left alone. That's what fits the bill. The choice of his personality."

"Then... will Renly come back?"

Standing quietly by the side, Elliott did not participate in the discussion.

He deeply believed that if Renly was simply going out for a sandwich or hamburger and then returning to Oscar night, it was absolutely possible, given Renly's personality, it was completely impossible to predict his actions. , but he knew that he should not follow the line of Renly, he refused, solemnly refused!

The paparazzi rioted for a while, but after all, no one stepped forward. Although Renly is one of the biggest hotshots in Hollywood right now, in the past few months, after all, there has been a lack of breaking points; what's more, Renly just chose to leave alone, no matter how it looks like there is major news. appearance.

In the meantime, two paparazzi were still not reconciled, and ran to the other side of the street to investigate, but they found nothing, and finally came back in a dejected manner.

Eliot, who was watching everything, expressed his deep satisfaction with his wisdom.

...

Once upon a time, Sunset Boulevard, which was a smash hit in Hollywood, has gradually declined. Many mansions and manors have been abandoned and dilapidated. It gradually lost its original appearance and could no longer be recognized.

The open space near the west end of the avenue has been preserved. A mottled red train carriage is parked abruptly on the bricks and weeds. On the left is a luxury resort, and on the right is a traditional western cowboy restaurant. On the opposite side is the famous Sunset Tower Hotel. Surrounded by three sides, this small open space stands here alone and stubbornly. It is out of tune with the bustling and noisy surrounding. Past history and ups and downs.

At this time, Renly was sitting in this train car.

Actually, it's a restaurant that serves American breakfast, as well as Mexican food. Just like the countless driver's restaurants on both sides of the American highway, everything is the simplest meal, but has a distinctive American character, a plate of scrambled eggs, a sandwich, two bacon, with a cup of coffee, that's enough.

Sitting next to the bar of the train carriage, directly opposite you can see the endless scene at the entrance of the Sunset Tower Hotel, noisy and turbulent, it seems that everyone is doing their best to join in; The tranquility of confidence is like sitting by the road, admiring the comings and goings of all beings.

Being in the center of Los Angeles, it tastes a touch of western wildness.

Perhaps, this is the most amazing part of Sunset Boulevard.

He tasted the coffee in front of him carefully, without sugar or milk, the slight bitterness spread on the tip of his tongue like soot, his eyebrows could not help frowning slightly, and he raised his head to look at the waiter not far away, "This pot Is the coffee burnt?"

The waiter laughed cheerfully, "I'm sorry, I've been paying attention to watching the liveliness in the back, but I didn't pay attention, and I accidentally burned it. In order to apologize, I can give you a puff for free. Trust me , you'll like it." The waiter deftly filled a small saucer with a puff, placed it next to Renly Coffee, and blinked, "Apologize again."

The restaurant is located directly opposite the Sunset Tower Hotel, and every year Oscar night is closely watched, and he naturally recognized Renly at first sight.

In fact, not only Renly, but almost every year on Oscar night, the train car welcomes many actors and directors. Before or after the party, they are very happy to add a little energy here. Enjoy a moment of peace; there is a mobile hamburger car next to the train car, where business is booming--

Just after the Oscars tonight was over, a group of big stars surrounded the place. He even saw Lee/Ann, the winner of tonight's best director, gorging on a golden man in one hand and a hamburger in the other.

So seeing Renly at this time, the waiter didn't make too much of a fuss.

"Is it just me? Or is his coffee burnt too?" Renly gestured with a smile to the young man sitting two empty seats to his left.

At this moment, there were only the two of them beside the entire bar, and they could notice each other without deliberately. It's just that all the young man's mind was focused on the Sunset Tower Hotel opposite, and he didn't notice Renly's entry and exit at all.

The waiter smiled and said, "I don't think he would mind. He

Having been sitting here for three full hours, after countless refills, I strongly suspect that his taste buds have lost their sense. "In a food truck like this, the coffee is always refillable.

"I do mind." The young man seemed to have finally sensed the conversation and took the initiative to retort, "But the problem is, I'm full of coffee now, and I can't eat puffs, so I still refuse. "Then he gave a slight shrug. "Besides, I love burnt coffee. It keeps me awake."

This is a very young guy, with curly hair like instant noodles, curly short like a poodle, even more serious than Justin Timberlake's curly hair, such a cute appearance makes him childish The fat face of the baby that was not taken off became more and more green, and it seemed that he had just graduated from college - or even did not graduate.

A dark grey shirt, a jet black suit, and a dark blue diagonal stripe tie.

The seemingly formal and serious dress can clearly see the flaws.

The shirts and suits do not fit well, and awkward marks can be seen on the shoulders, elbows, sleeves and hem; the tie knot is slightly loosened, and the top shirt button is unbuttoned, and the buttons on the cuffs seem to be loosened. After a little while, it seemed that the long wait had really been suppressed and suffocated for too long, and the muscles and nerves were tense to the extreme and had to be loosened a little.

details determine everything.

Just like the image of Mark Zuckerberg presented in the "social network", even in formal clothes, his body reveals many details that are arrogant and uncontrollable, which is in sharp contrast with several other founders; at this time The same is true of the young man who is young, but a formal suit still cannot give him a calm and sophisticated temperament.

The young man pointed lightly at the coffee cup in front of him, "I'm sorry, can you refill it for me again?"

He seemed to have caught Renly's gaze, turned his head slightly, and took a look at Renly's outfit from the corner of his eye—the suit and leather shoes, shiny, obedient, and meticulous, but for them, these The details of the suit are meaningless, the Wall Street suit and Oscar's suit seem to be the same.

Simply and clearly, he thought that there should be an elite of Wall Street next to him, or, like him, a hunter who came with a clear and strong purpose.

"So, you're also waiting for someone?" He withdrew his gaze and just glanced at the other person's face, but his attention was already diverted first, he didn't pay too much attention at all, and then he picked up his own The coffee cup, took a sip, the hot coffee made him grin, but he swallowed it anyway.

"It's really hard, isn't it? I'm thinking now, is it okay to just rush up there, shove my work into his arms, and pray that he can go home and take a good look at it, right? Too risky? Not to mention whether his security will throw me straight out, and I don't think he's willing to watch when he gets home."

The young man was talking to himself, rather than complaining, it was more disturbing, the whole person was full of an uncertain anxiety, and then he scratched his head forcefully, and the curly hair became more messy in an instant. .

"I don't know, but... who are you waiting for?" Renly asked kindly, having nothing to do anyway.

The young man shrugged, "Anyone. Literally, anyone. Director, writer, actor, producer, even cameraman, I don't care, just anyone who can name it, I I hope to hand over my project to him, let him take a look, and then find an investor."

After he finished speaking, the young man smiled bitterly, "I know, this is stupid, this is the way of the 1980s. But..." The young man lowered his head dejectedly, "But I have nowhere to go. The past two years All the time, I've been trying to find investors, from New York to Los Angeles, from Seattle to Chicago, and I'm broke now and still no one wants to invest."

"Hey", the young man laughed self-deprecatingly, "I even shot a short film with the script, participated in the Sundance Film Festival at the beginning of this year, and won an award. I thought it would be easier, but two months It's over..." The young man didn't continue speaking, and shook his head helplessly, it was really hard to say.

"Yes, I know that waiting is really a tormenting process. What's more terrifying is that at the end of the waiting, we don't know whether the result is what we want." Renly agreed with a smile.
