Zhang Ran looked back and saw that it was Huang Lei and Sun Li, who were dragging their luggage and strode towards this side.

Huang Lei slapped Zhang Ran's shoulder and cursed with a smile: "Okay, you guys, don't say you don't know if we're on the plane. You're just here to say hello. Do you think you need to deal with it?"

Bai Yunfei, not far away, turned around and saw this scene, and was a little surprised. Zhang Ran met Huang Lei, and he seemed to be quite familiar with him. Isn’t he a middle school teacher? How could he meet Huang Lei?

"You live in the world of two people, how can I disturb you!" Zhang Ran scratched his head embarrassedly and looked at Sun Li and said, "Sister Sun Li, we are meeting again!"

When Sun Li knew that Zhang Ran was studying in Los Angeles, she asked: "Zhang Ran, what are you doing in Los Angeles? Meeting your girlfriend?"

Zhang Ran sighed in his heart. He had divided all the points, and he still saw what he saw. It was better to miss him than to meet him. However, he did not express his inner emotions and said with a smile: "No, I'm going to direct a movie every once in a while. It's a science fiction film. I want to make a few special effects shots. I'll buy software to make special effects."

Huang Lei was stunned. In the domestic film market, who dared to invest money in science fiction films? He stared at Zhang Ran's eyes and asked, "Aren't you afraid that we will catch you as a tour guide, so you said that?"

When Zhang Ran heard Huang Lei say this, he waved his hand with a smile and said, "How can you do it? It takes no time to buy software. It's not a problem for you to be a tour guide, but you have to treat me to a meal!"

Huang Lei was originally joking, but he was so happy after hearing Zhang Ran say this: "Really, fake? I didn't force you!"

Sun Li smiled and said, "We just didn't have a tour guide, and now the free one is here!"

Huang Lei is a good person, and he is able to eat well in the circle, and he has more free time, so it is not a big deal to take them around. Zhang Ran nodded and said, "No problem, but I made an appointment with my friend. I have to go to their place today, and come to see you tomorrow and take you to play. Which hotel do you plan to stay in? I will come to you then!"

"It's not decided, we plan to find one at random. Do you have any recommendations?"

Zhang Ran wrote the address of a hotel to the two of them, and made an appointment to meet the next day. He waved to the two of them, then dragged his trolley case and walked towards Neil Blomkamp with the sign with a smile.

Neil smiled and came forward to give Zhang Ran a hug: "Robin, I heard you are going to make a movie?"

When Zhang Ran arrived in the United States, the foreigner called him a strange name, so he planned to give himself an English name. He liked the movie "Robin Hood", so he named him Robin. Later, he learned that the British man was called Robindo, and there were fewer men in the United States, most of whom were women, which made him very depressed.

"It's just a TV movie!" Zhang Ran said with a smile.

"TV movies are also good. They can be broadcast on TV stations. Investors can see your works and have a judgment on your abilities. Let's go, I'll take you to see my new car!" Neil was a little envious. He wanted to shoot a TV movie but had no chance yet! He took a photo and walked towards the exit of the airport together.

To be honest, he opposed Zhang Ran's return to China. China is too backward. Is there any movie there? He firmly believed that Zhang Ran has no future when he went back. Unexpectedly, Zhang Ran got the opportunity to direct in just a few months. It was incredible.

Neil's new car is a Chevrolet Corvette, white, with beautiful lines, just like a girl's waist. Zhang Ran remembers that Neil's original car was a red Chevrolet. It is said that Americans have a Chevrolet in their hearts. Unexpectedly, Neil, a South African, also has a special liking for Chevrolet.

Zhang Ran put his luggage in the trunk, sat on it, patted the chair and said, "This car is so beautiful. Have you made a fortune recently?"

Neil said proudly: "I shot an advertisement for Toyota, and the reward is used to buy a car!"

Zhang Ran was immediately happy: "When the Toyota pays, the people in Toyota will be angry to death if they find out?"

Hahaha--

Amid laughter, Neil drove out of the airport and drove towards the city.

The car stopped in front of a two-story building on the outskirts of Los Angeles. The house was a bit old, it was an old house for decades. However, Zhang Ran was familiar with this house, and he lived here before.

Opening the door, a beautiful blonde girl walked over with a smile, which was Neil's girlfriend Lisa. She looked at Zhang Ran and gave him a warm hug with a smile: "Robin, I'm so happy to see you!"

"Lisa, long time no see!" Zhang Ran patted Lisa's back and smiled and let go of her hand.

"I'll take you to the room. It's the one you used to live in. It's already packed!" Lisa glanced at Zhang Ran's suitcase and enthusiastically took Zhang Ran into the room.

Following Lisa to the second floor room, Zhang Ran found that the furnishings of the room had not changed at all, exactly the same as when he lived there. Standing in the room, a strange sense of familiarity surged into Zhang Ran's heart: "Thank you, Lisa!"

Zhang Ran put down his luggage, went downstairs with Lisa, and sat in the living room and started chatting with them.

At night, the three of them sat in the living room and drank as before. Neil and Lisa were able to drink, but they couldn't compare with Zhang Ran. In the end, Zhang Ran sent Neil and the others back to the room.

Although he had been on the plane for more than ten hours, Zhang Ran did not feel tired. After returning to the room, he pushed open the door and came to the balcony. The night view of the city was brightly lit in front of him.

Somehow, the memories in my mind were like mountain springs, gulping out. In the past, he lived here with his girlfriend, and often sat on the balcony at night, snuggling together, looking forward to the future. But now, things have changed.

The night wind blew on his body, and Zhang Ran felt a little cold. He suddenly thought about Beijing Electric's single dormitory, after all, it was his home. He turned back to the room, took a shower, turned off the light, lay on the bed, and looked at the blurry ceiling intently.

In his previous life, his girlfriend was going abroad, and the two broke up; in this life, he returned to China and broke up with his girlfriend, which was like a cycle of fate.

At nine o'clock in the morning, Zhang Ran drove to the agreed cafe and found Huang Lei and the others. The car was Neil's. He bought a new car. The old car had not been sold yet. Zhang Ran needed a car when he went out, so he temporarily requisitioned it.

After chatting for a few simple words, Huang Lei asked, "Zhang Ran, I heard that your school has a good scenery. Why don't you take us to your school first?"

Zhang Ran looked at the two of them, smiled and shook his head, "The school scenery is really good, but let's forget it today. If you wear this outfit, you will be booed!"

Huang Lei looked at his and Sun Li's clothes, both of which were red T-shirts, jeans, and baseball caps. There was no place to stand out. When he looked at the pedestrians outside the window, many people wore this way, and asked in confusion: "What's wrong with our outfit? Don't they all wear this way?"

Zhang Ran smiled and said, "It's during the same city war. When you walk in our school wearing red clothes, you will boo all the way. You must not be willing to treat this kind of treatment, right?"

Huang Lei was even more surprised: "Why? Also, what are you talking about in-city wars? It sounds quite interesting?"

Zhang Ran explained: "That's right. Los Angeles has two particularly famous schools, one is the University of California, Los Angeles, referred to as UCLA, and the other is the University of Southern California, referred to as USC. The two schools are very close to each other, with many supporters, and they all have a particularly powerful football team. Rugby is the most popular game in the United States and is particularly popular. Therefore, the football game between Los Angeles and Southern California is called the Los Angeles Championship, the same-city battle, and the Los Angeles Battle. In our school, the week before the game is called the Killing of Southern California Week; in Southern California, it is called the Conquest Week.

A week before the competition, both schools will hold many activities on their respective campuses to boost morale, including parades, campfires, performances and concerts. In addition, there are some warm-up competitions. For example, the film academies of both schools are very strong, and a film skills competition will be held at this time of year. The traditional color of USC is dark red. Now when you wear red to our school, you will definitely be considered USC and you will be booed all the time."

Huang Lei and Sun Li looked at each other and laughed: "It sounds interesting."

“Americans really know how to play!”

"It's quite fun. On Friday before the competition every year, both schools will hold large-scale events to create momentum, and invite some famous bands and talk show hosts to attend. The theme of our school's evening party is USCsuck. The climax of the event will burn the huge mascot of the USCsouth. Watching the Trojans live forever in the fire, thousands of students will yell USCsuck around it. The scene is particularly spectacular!" At this point, Zhang Ran's mouth smiled. He had participated in these activities a lot before, and thus became the public enemy of the USCsouth. He and Neil met during the event.

Sun Li covered her mouth and smiled very ladylikely: "It's really interesting!"

Huang Lei was also attracted by his appetite and nodded repeatedly: "Then let's go and see tomorrow. Where to go today, you will give me some advice. You are half a landlord, and we will all follow your arrangements!"

"Go to the Avenue of Stars. You must go to the Avenue of Stars when you go to Los Angeles, otherwise it will be a waste of time. Let's go!" Zhang Ran took Huang Lei and Sun Li out of the coffee shop and went to Neil's red Chevrolet

After the car started, Zhang Ran smiled and said, "Los Angeles is a movie paradise and a movie hell. Every day, countless people come here with dreams, and every day, countless people leave with frustration. Take a taxi casually. As long as the driver knows that you are the director, he might give you a resume."

Soon, Zhang Ran drove to the back street of Star Avenue and found a parking lot to park the car. There were people managing the parking lot here, unlike Star Avenue, which used meter, which saved the trouble of tinkering.

Follow the Hollywood Highlands steps, walk to the end, and look forward. On a lush mountain, the huge white English "Hollywood" is clearly visible. It is the Hollywood Mountain. The scenes I saw countless times in the movie are right in front of me, and Huang Lei couldn't help but feel expectation.
Chapter completed!
