The water mist on the inner wall of the Champagne Cup gradually dissipates in the temperature of the palm. Jessica gently closes her jaw and listens to the conversation between Brad and Jeff. At the beginning of talking about the topic during the film shooting, she can also insert a word; But then she talked about golf clubs, advertising placement in the production process, and so on, so she could only serve as an audience.

The sound of swimming in the pool and deafening electronic music came to her ears. The conversation here made Jessica feel a little boring and boring. There was no interesting news, just their boasting; If she could, she wanted to get rid of the shackles and enjoy the party atmosphere, but the sight from all sides was so overwhelming that she had to hold a champagne glass, wear an evening dress and have a social conversation at a pool party.

"I've just finished my whisky. I need another one. Where's the lady?"

Jeff's voice interrupted Jessica's thoughts. She showed a bright smile and was ready to respond. Then she heard the voice behind her. Not publicity, but clear enough, elegant and calm, with a touch of magnetism, revealed in the lines behind the inside information, not only not dull, but fascinating, casual humor is even more people's mouth up.

She knew the voice.

Turn around and see the side face. Sure enough, it was the person in her mind. His speech, his manners and his manners have a natural and unique temperament, which can easily make the atmosphere special with every smile.

"Just a moment. Can I have a rum, please? Thank you Jessica seems to be able to taste the sweet aroma of rum on the tip of her tongue. Involuntarily, she wants to taste it herself. He looks over and she blinks. I didn't expect that they met again on such an occasion and in such a way, "I think I can't miss this rum."

Jessica, with red hair and snow muscles, is not beautiful, but she has a unique style when she smiles. It made Jeff smile and say, "I never knew there was such an allusion to rum." Generally speaking, people are more used to mixing rum instead of drinking it alone. "However, I am more curious about the taste of 'death in the afternoon' than rum." Then, Jeff looked at the bunny, "can I have a drink made for me at the bar?"

"Two." David raised two fingers and added.

Michael Fassbender showed a big smile, the upper and lower rows of teeth showed neatly, looking like a shark, "three cups." Then he turned and looked at the others. "Don't you want to try? His description just now is full of reverie. In fact, can I have another rum besides the afternoon of death? "

Looking at Michael in front of him, the corner of lanli's mouth can't help but gently curl up, and the banter smile rippled in his eyes.

On the big screen, Michael always plays the role of abstinence, seriousness and profundity; But in real life, Michael is not German at all, but Irish at all - cheerful, rude and straightforward.

From the big screen into life, the image of the gap brings joy, really people can't help laughing.

However, this is not the best time to make new friends. Langley's smiling eyes fell on Michael and stopped to express his thanks; Then I looked at Jessica, as if today was the first time we met. "When you taste rum, I recommend adding a little pure water or sugar."

Jessica opened her mouth slightly in surprise. "It looks like you're an alcoholic."

"I thought you would say, I'm a literature lover." Lan Li's unexpected answer made everyone stunned, and then he thought of the story just now. When he suddenly realized it, the corners of his mouth could not help rising. The atmosphere of the whole conversation became light in silence. It seemed that we could see that the oxygen factor floating in the air began to jump.

Among the low chuckles, a rough and vicissitudes voice sounded, "whisky, no ice."

All of a sudden, everyone looked at the voice. It was Brad Pitt.

He put his left hand in his pants pocket and held a short glass in his right hand. There were still some golden brown whiskey left in the glass, with trim beard, clean short hair and a smile on his face. He was not as romantic and cynical as he was when he was young, but his mature temperament was more and more mellow as a century old whiskey.

Even men have to admit that Brad is a charming man, who naturally has a taste of free and unrestrained. Just one word, people's focus shifted from Langley to Brad.

Brad raised his eyebrows, calmly welcomed the line of sight from all directions, without any burden. He had been used to standing under the spotlight for a long time, laughed twice, and then spread out his hands, as if to express his helplessness. "As an old man, I still don't like to change some habits."

That with a faint smile of ridicule, seems to be self mockery; But the hidden meaning is to satirize the flamboyance of Langley, the cocktail and the rum. It seems to have a lot of variety. In fact, it's just an eye-catching trick.

It's not aimed at Lan Li, it's just a subconscious self-protection mechanism.

As the saying goes, there are no two tigers in one mountain. In this small field, Brad is the core of the focus. No matter whether he likes this kind of focus or not, sometimes he even hates the inconvenience caused by this kind of focus. But the fact is that after nearly 30 years of wallowing in Hollywood's vanity fair, he inevitably develops the habit of going deep into his blood.

Therefore, when another person with strong aura appears at the scene and grabs the focus, he instinctively starts to do something else. This is also a classification of occupational diseases.

The scene suddenly rang out a low light laughter and harmony, invisible, there are more lines of sight, Yu Guang projected towards Lan Li, like a piece of hair like spikes, not hurt people, but clear enough to let people not ignore, it is estimated that there are a lot of people holding the psychology of watching a good play.

Including Jeff.

Langley can choose tit for tat. He just needs to say "is it like the old guy in the western movies?" that's enough to start a war. In the United States, the whole central region is the representative of conservatives, and the southern forces are even more conservative among conservatives. Most of the scenes depicted in western movies are in these regions, especially the elderly people, They are also stubborn conservatives, who are still racist, who are still protesting against change and who are still rejecting the progress of the times.

More deeply, Brad is from Central Oklahoma. After entering Hollywood, Brad has been playing down his "hillbilly" image for many years, and certainly does not want to be mentioned at this time.

However, lanli did not intend to steal Brad's limelight, so he chose another way, "the faults of sour literati are always like this, which makes people not used to it." With that, Lan Li spread his hands helplessly and shook his head slightly, as if he was helpless.

The real implication of this self mockery is that people are not used to it, but they will eventually imitate it, because the cultural background and talent and knowledge are the signs that distinguish the upstarts from the real nobles.

Self mockery, counterattack, mockery, banter, a short sentence, but all emotions at one go.

"Poof Pooh." The first one to laugh was Jeff. His shoulders gently stirred and he was very happy.

Paul had a hard time holding his smile, but he knew that this was not the time to laugh, so he forced himself to hold it back. Now when he heard Jeff's laughter, Paul couldn't help laughing. So did Jessica, and so did Michael, and then David aye, and then the rest of the people around him, and finally... Brad pulled his lips and chuckled.

As she spoke, bunny came back again with everyone's rum; She was followed by a colleague. There were champagne glasses on the plate, but the long glass was not filled with star wine, but with milky light liquid, which looked like lemonade, with afternoon laziness and lightness.

"Death in the afternoon", such a romantic and poetic name, but the cocktail seems so mediocre Among the cheers and exclamations, Lan Li's voice rang, and everyone was stunned.

No one dares to tell the truth, but only follows the compliments of social occasions, which shows the praise of the Convention. But now, blue ritual has spoken. The narrator behind this afternoon's death has no doubt to make complaints about it. "Actually, it's only rum and champagne. There is nothing special about it. The only reason it's famous is because Hemingway got drunk and mixed up at random. If I can recommend it, I'd rather drink rum directly. "

Be quiet, be quiet, and then everyone laughs together. This time, even Brad was no exception. His eyes fell on the Milky cocktail and he couldn't help laughing.

Jeff took his "death in the afternoon" and looked carefully, then his eyes fell on Lan Li again.

Without any sign, without any surprise, lanli not only integrated into their group, but also controlled the rhythm of the conversation; Brad is still the center of the crowd, but his eyes are always drifting towards lanli. Even if he doesn't speak, he can't help observing lanli's expression and reaction.

The key point is that the changes in the whole process are quietly completed, and even Jeff is not aware of any abnormality and abruptness; What's more, the brief confrontation between Brad and lanli just now, lanli's elegant but sharp treatment, really brightened people's eyes.

He lowered his head and sipped the "death in the afternoon" in his hand. Then he thought of lanli's evaluation just now. Jeff couldn't help laughing. As a matter of fact, he also likes this cocktail. The sunshine in the afternoon makes the alcohol in his mouth start to jump. "Lanli, Ben has a collection of many classic wines. I'm going to visit them. Well, are you interested in joining me? "

Obviously, this is the audition invitation. With a smile and a half step back, Langley made an invitation gesture, "my pleasure."
