Chapter 42: Memory Pieces

After a break with the melancholy mood, Christmas soon came to all Harvard students. The importance of Christmas to Western countries is self-evident, just as the Spring Festival has an irreplaceable position in the hearts of Chinese people. Even if the meaning of the birth of Christmas is not mentioned, it is enough that the family can be reunited during this holiday.

Gu Luobei’s first half semester of his junior year at Harvard University has come to a fulfilling and rich end, and the all-A grade at the end of the semester has undoubtedly proved his ability again. However, because it is too busy, the graduation project of the Department of Architecture has only been drawn, and has not been revised. Gu Luobei plans to use the winter vacation time to make revisions and submit it when the spring semester starts; the subject selection of the graduation thesis of the Department of Psychology There is no shadow. The first half of the junior year was originally scheduled to be full, but because of the filming and the band, the time was delayed to varying degrees. Come to think of it, Gu Luobei will definitely continue to be busy this winter vacation and spring semester.

After the two brothers Gu Luobei came back, the Bell family became lively again, and the Hathaway family next door could also smell the holiday because Anne-Hathaway also ended the filming of “Princess Diaries” and went home.

“North, North!” A clean and hearty voice came from downstairs, shouting at the top of his voice, “Evan…Evan-Bell! Bell…” The end sound behind was so long and long, if Gu Luo If the north does not appear, the other party will not give up.

Although it is noisy, the neighbors are used to it. In the past ten years, this situation has occurred almost every one or two days. It is not surprising.

The window on the second floor was slammed open, and Gu Luobei’s handsome face clearly said “helpless”. After more than ten years, he still said that he couldn’t cope with this fatal chain. “Hathaway , I think you won’t be able to marry in the future! The whole street knows that this girl has a scary voice.”

Anne-Hathaway stood at the bottom with her hands on her hips, still looking like a big lala, and she didn’t mind at all, “Didn’t you say we’re going to the movies today, hurry up, we’ll miss it at eight o’clock if we don’t set off. field.”

The childhood sweetheart is a unified name, referring to the time when men and women were innocent and innocent, and grew up together intimately. However, there are thousands of childhood sweethearts in the world, and they get along with each other in different ways. Gu Luobei and Anne-Hathaway, the childhood sweethearts, grew up fighting together. The very boyish Anne-Hathaway even rushed to fight with the two Gu Luobei brothers, if it wasn’t for that The little face is indeed very pretty, and it really makes people misunderstand Anne Hathaway’s gender.

With the growth of age, the girl side of Anne Hathaway exudes the original charm little by little. However, in front of Gu Luobei, Anne Hathaway had become accustomed to such a casual and natural way of getting along, so the loud and loud voice still rang downstairs in Bell’s house without any scruples in a ladylike style.

Gu Luobei didn’t answer, just closed the window. Within thirty seconds, the tall and straight figure appeared at the gate on the first floor and walked towards Anne Hathaway. When Gu Luobei was growing up, although he didn’t go to measure it, Anne Hathaway hadn’t seen him for nearly four months, and she felt that Gu Luobei had grown taller, so she involuntarily stood up to Gu Luobei. Beside him, the two looked side by side.

“You have grown a lot taller. It seems that you are very likely to be as tall as Teddy.” Anne-Hathaway said with admiration. The two boys in the Bell family, Teddy Bell, are tall and strong, so Gu Luobei looks thin in comparison. In fact, Gu Luobei is not thin at all. On the contrary, his figure is more shapely and slender than Teddy Bell, and his visual effect is better. Now that Gu Luobei has grown taller again, this refined temperament is exuding little by little.

Gu Luobei smiled and didn’t answer. He turned around and called to the store next door, “Xiong, are you sure you won’t go with us?”

Teddy Bell’s voice was muffled from inside. It was estimated that he was sorting clothes. The clothes hanging outside blocked his voice, “No, you guys have fun.” Recently, Christmas is approaching, and the business of dry cleaners is also busy. , Yesterday, Gu Luobei had a busy day, so today Gu Luobei went out to watch a movie, and Teddy Bell was in charge of helping at home.

Gu Luobei didn’t force it any more, just shouted, “Catherine, Annie and I are going out.”

Anne-Hathaway also shouted at the door of her own house ten meters away, “Dad, Mom, I’m going out.” These two loud voices, for fear that others would not know that they grew up together, even the shocking The powerful voices are so tacit.

Gu Luobei and Anne Hathaway didn’t go too far, they went to the Chinatown Cinema on Eighth Avenue not far from home. As Christmas is approaching, this schedule is also an important position in the North American movie war, so many movies choose to be released on the Christmas schedule. While the competition is fierce, it also makes the audience happy.

The recently released “The Grinch” starring Jim Carrey was a big hit at the box office. Gu Luobei remembers that the film finally won the top spot in the 2000 North American box office charts. But today, Gu Luobei and Anne Hathaway did not want to watch this movie, but chose a very unpopular movie, “Memories”. This movie is considered unpopular even in normal times, not to mention that only a few people watched it during the happy holiday time of Christmas.

“Memento”, directed by Christopher Nolan, is regarded as a classic of Cult films. Christopher Nolan, who will become a top director with “Batman Prequel: The Dark Knight” and “Inception” in the future, is now a fledgling film rookie. At present, he has only shot a 70-minute black and white film “Follow” , “Memento” is just the second film of Christopher Nolan’s directorial career, and it is this film that became the first cornerstone of Christopher Nolan’s entry into the public eye.

“Why did you choose this movie to watch today?” Anne-Hathaway ordered popcorn and coke, and then asked Gu Luobei who was beside her.

“Because I invested in this movie.” Gu Luobei said enigmatically, causing Anne Hathaway, who was originally focusing on popcorn, to suddenly turn her head.

“Investment? Are you sure?” Others may be deceived by Gu Luobei’s elegant and calm temperament, thinking that he is a nobleman, but Anne Hathaway can’t understand it any more, and the economic level of the Bell family can’t be talked about. Invest in it.

Gu Luobei took a large bucket of popcorn and motioned for Anne Hathaway to pick up her own Coke, “Remember when I attended the San Francisco Film Festival last year? At that film festival, I watched Director Nolan. ‘s first movie, ‘Follow’.” Gu Luobei pointed to the column of the director’s name on the movie poster of “Memento”, Anne Hathaway understood that the director of “Memento” was the director of Gu Luobei. Said director “Nolan”.

“At that film festival, ‘Following’ got a lot of praise, and I personally like it very much.” Gu Luobei and Anne-Hathaway walked along the passage to the playing hall. Anne-Hathaway lowered her head to confirm the serial number of the playing hall. Now that “Memento” is about to be down, only one venue is scheduled to be broadcast. “At that time, Nolan was raising funds from the audience at the scene, saying that he was going to shoot a new movie, and I also invested.”

Christopher Nolan could not find an investor to sponsor the filming of “Memories”, so he could only continue to follow the independent film routine and raise funds from audiences who like to “follow”, which is a simple and feasible way. Nolan provided support.

Gu Luobei doesn’t know what other people think to support Christopher Nolan. As far as he is concerned, he clearly knows Christopher Nolan’s future achievements, and he also knows very well how outstanding “Memento” is. Gu Luobei couldn’t be more happy to be an investor in this movie.

“Then how much did you fund?” Anne-Hathaway pushed open the heavy door in front of her, so that Gu Luobei, who was holding the popcorn, could directly enter the playroom, and the smile on the corner of her mouth was already blooming. Although this story is simple, it is indeed somewhat magical. I did not expect that Gu Luobei is also one of the investors of “Memories Fragment”. Although this investment has no return, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com can be used on the big screen. It is a blessing to see a wonderful video on the Internet.

At this time, the lights in the broadcast hall were still on, and there were only three or four people sitting in the seats. “Memento” is one of the representative works of Cult movies, and now it is close to being down, it is not uncommon for the audience to be small. Gu Luobei and Anne-Hathaway walked to the middle, and while walking, Gu Luobei replied, “Two hundred dollars. That’s all the money I had at the time.”

Maybe to others, two hundred dollars is not much, but for the “memory fragments” costing five million, Gu Luobei’s two hundred dollars is a drop in the bucket. But this is at least Gu Luobei’s support for this movie, or his maximum support, this heart is not easy.

Anne-Hathaway is not surprised by Gu Luobei’s behavior. He has always been generous and generous – to the best of his ability, “I heard that you support this movie so much, and the expectations are beyond the table.” As soon as she sat down, Anne-Hathaway took the popcorn in Gu Luobei’s hand and began to eat it.

Looking at Anne Hathaway, who is not at all ladylike, Gu Luobei smiled, “The movie won’t let you down.” He had this confidence.

Although Gu Luobei has watched the DVD of “Memento” in his life, this is the first time he has watched it in a movie theater. Movies have to be watched in a movie theater to have a real sense, and DVDs can only be used as a collection. The effect of watching in a movie theater is completely different from that at home.

Even though he has been amazed once by “Memory Fragments”, Gu Luobei was amazed for the second time today. Every detail, every picture, constitutes this amazing film.

Second update today. Recommendations and collections are still requirements, don’t think I’m annoying, huh, huh.
