Ace Hollywood

The boy in the mirror was a little fat, with shaggy brown blond hair, but not bad.

"Daniel Sandler"

The boy opened and closed his mouth and pronounced the name a little jerky, but the tone was familiar and standard Brooklyn English.

Yes, this is New York.

The shadow cast by the abandoned mine, the high sky in Shanxi, the shaking camera, Jia Zhangke's exclamation, became distant and fragmented under the rampage of Daniel's memory.

…

"Thanks Giuliani, I'm back safely." David came in with two large plastic bags, "The Hu Lai's bread has been bought by those **** slackers, Daniel, your head is still climaxing Is it?"

"Yes, there is still a little aftertaste." Daniel took the bag, "but I think I should be able to go to work tomorrow, I hope my look of spring won't scare Claire."

David is his roommate, a black man, a delivery worker at a hot dog shop.

A few days ago, Daniel was filled with a van filled with female models, of course, plastic, and had a close contact, which made him **** so far, and it was all under David's care, but the poor savings and low income of the two obviously did not allow him. Continue to rest.

"I really hope to be a millionaire before the new millennium." David handed over a bagel, Daniel frowned, the sweetness of the rich corn syrup stimulated his sense of smell, which made him hesitate a little before taking a sip .

"It's a big challenge."

It is now December 1998, and the new century is just one year away.

"Oh, it's too sweet."

David glanced at him suspiciously, "Hu Lai's bread is sweeter than this."

"Take it as if I have a sweet intolerance. Please buy the tasteless ones next time. Those that grow corn are really productive." Daniel put down the bagels, "What happened to the hot dog shop today, you came back earlier than usual. few."

"Oh, Claire is so excited today as if she's on a drug, and "New York Street Food" is going to visit his hot dog shop tomorrow, oh yes, he also said that if you still have your head and you still reluctant to part with his work, tomorrow Gotta go to work. You know, you're the best thing in his hot dog shop, more popular with women than his hot dogs."

David used the accent on "His Hot Dog," with a knowing smile on his face.

Even though Daniel is a little fat, the mixed blood of the Three Kingdoms still gives him a coveted handsome face. The nineteen-year-old boy is full of youth, and Claire's hot dog shop has become the favorite hot dog shop for the housewives of East Fleibash.

Not just because of his ancestral recipe for spicy meat sauce.

It is worth mentioning that Daniel's grandmother is a Chinese who came to the United States during the war years and spent her life with an American-Portuguese bank clerk. They are a typical couple, but it is a pity that their only daughter became an unwed mother, and Deeply in love with ** and **, Daniel died when he was in middle school.

This kind of life experience is not bleak in New York. At least Daniel can know from his mother's mouth that he has mixed blood from the Three Kingdoms. He is much luckier than those poor **** who don't even know their birthdays.

On a clear morning in New York, Daniel and David drove to work at Claire's Hot Dog Shop fifteen minutes away in a crumbling Ford that David's mother had left for him.

"Hey Daniel, laziness is the root of all evil, you should have come to work long ago." Claire is a bald old man who runs this hot dog shop with a history of more than 30 years, which makes him a senior in Jewish living. The place has an apartment of its own.

Daniel put on his stupid chef hat, "The truck is the root of all evil. If he doesn't hit me, I don't have to ask for leave at all."

"I think Dave already told you that New York Street Food is coming to interview us today, and people all over New York state will know about Claire's Hot Dog, and we're going to be famous in New York for our chili sausages. Hey, Get excited mate."

"I'd be very excited if my daily salary could be increased by ten dollars, Claire."

"Uh, oh, let's talk about New York Street Food."

Daniel rolled his eyes.

The job at the hot dog shop is so boring, and Daniel has to make excuses with the surprised housewives.

"Oh yes, Mrs. Pete, my head doesn't hurt anymore."

"Oh, thank you so much for your concern, Mrs. Dawson."

and so on.

At 2:10 in the afternoon, the host and cameraman of "New York Street Food" were late. Under Claire's "passionate" eyes, Daniel had to cooperate with the overly fat host's meat jokes.

"Claire's Hot Dog Shop's red sausages with spicy meat sauce are really delicious, especially the little red sausages from this handsome guy."

Daniel's face blushed, so everyone laughed.

The show will be broadcast at ten o'clock tomorrow night, and Claire requires all employees to watch it.

After finishing his day's work, Daniel sat in David's co-pilot and looked at the street lights on both sides of Fleibash Avenue, slightly lost. Although everything is normal, from an independent film actor who is not popular with the authorities to a hot dog shop master in New York, from a pure Chinese with 18 generations of ancestors to only a quarter of Chinese descent, who seems to have nothing to do with China Americans, everything will take time to smooth out.

"At least it's still on Earth."

"What are you muttering about?" David is an enthusiastic black guy, even if the Ford car clatters, it can't stop his courage to find a girl.

"David, I want to go to California, er, I mean... Hollywood."

The sharp braking sound startled Daniel.

"Oh, Danny, you're finally enlightened." David looked even more excited than himself, "You know what, Jason's girlfriend's sister's classmate, a malnourished girl, is said to be just a kid in Hollywood. You can earn hundreds of thousands of dollars every year. Look at you. You have a natural star face, but you waste your time in a hot dog shop. It's a waste. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com"

Jason is a friend of the older brother of David's primary school classmate.

"My God, am I going to be a friend of a big star soon?"

Daniel had a good reputation in the Chinese independent film industry in his last life, and even won several titles of international movie stars, but the people who hang out in underground movies all day are far from big stars.

Coming to the United States, the only thing that can be comforted is probably the unparalleled freedom in the film career. Therefore, Daniel hardly needs to think much to know where his goals are.

Hollywood!

But David's attitude made him happy both physically and mentally. In his last life, when he was determined to star in an independent film about same-sex love after graduating from the Department of Fine Arts and Painting at the Central Academy of Fine Arts, all the people around him tried to be his resistance. .

This is the difference. Some people are easy to navigate in the intertwined relationship network, while others yearn for freedom and wanton. Life is not so solemn, and there is no need to regard every choice as the end of the world.

David's excitement continued until the two lay down in the only room.

"Danny, when are you going to go to California?"

"After Christmas, make some money from Claire, and I can't starve to death until I get a job at a new hot dog shop in Los Angeles."

"Yes, Danny. Um... Did I tell you that my mother used to be a little actress, of course, not very famous."

"No, I haven't heard of it."

"let me tell you…"
