[US Entertainment] Hollywood reverses life

Chapter 219 209

The first wave of the release of "Ghost in the Shell" has passed, and the world's box office smashed 4 million in its premiere week.

The box office of this wave should be achieved by the attractiveness of the movie, actors, and directors to fans. It can be said that the box office results of the first week of the movie's release are basically determined by nature, and cannot be influenced by film critics and word of mouth. .

And after the next week, the box office results, word of mouth and the influence of film critics will be expanded.

Because for any movie in the world, its release cycle generally takes "ten days" as a cycle, that is, ten days.

Generally, movies will be released on Fridays, so the most basic life cycle of a movie is mostly a weekend (3 days), plus a week (7 days), which is a "ten days".

Under the inertia of movies, which are calculated in ten days, the influence of film critics on movies will basically not affect the box office of the first round.

Because even if a movie is released, the film critics rushed to the cinema to watch the movie immediately, and then went back to write a film review immediately. Days of consideration time to complete.

Then it takes at least 3-5 days for a relatively professional film review to be written, and then the time to publish it in the newspaper is counted, so it will take a week.

Therefore, even if a film critic wants to write a film review to affect the box office of a certain movie, it will also affect the box office of the next week.

Of course, it doesn't mean that film critics are not important, and the influence of film critics on the second "ten" of the film is still very important.

However, now is the era of Internet information explosion. Not every film critic will wait until the first "ten days" to release a film review. A movie review site gives a thumbs up or thumbs up to a movie.

But these so-called "passerby" film critics are not what the major film companies need to win over, and their authority is not worth considering.

The film critics that major film companies generally want to win over are film critics such as Pauline Kyle and Roger Ebert who have authoritative influence in the film critic circle.

However, this kind of film critics will never publish film reviews when the film is still in the "first ten days", and some will not even make comments until the "second ten days". Know a truth.

Praise, not in the limelight.I am afraid that people will say that you write soft articles.

Bad reviews, not scolding in the limelight.Afraid of causing controversy and becoming a sacrifice to the producer.

Because the text of film reviews cannot be arbitrary, there should be a certain measure.

Professional film critics also understand the truth that "blocking people's money is equal to killing their parents". If they publish a film review that criticizes a certain movie, it is not equal to "ten days" of the healthy period when it is still in theaters. Block people's way of making money"?

This is to tie the knot with the film company. Professional film critics rely on movies to make a living, so they don't do such stupid things.

Therefore, film critics like Pauline Kyle and Roger Ebert never write film reviews for newspapers as soon as the film is released.

Based on this reasoning, Paramount did not hold a screening of professional filmmakers for the first time, but waited until the first "ten days" passed before holding this screening that invited professional film critics from North America to participate. In one "hundred days", "Ghost in the Shell" has already made a lot of money at the box office, and Paramount has nothing to fear.

In the list of invitees, Pauline Kyle and Roger Ebert are impressively listed.

When they sat in the screening hall, the two leading film critics breathed a sigh of relief. Finally, they were going to see Joey Grant's new film again. In order to wait for the scheduled screening, they endured Did not go to the cinema.

As a professional, the point of view is definitely different from that of ordinary audiences.

At the beginning of the movie, Jennifer Lawrence's leap, which was hailed as a classic by countless audiences, conquered countless audiences on the big screen in the past few days.

However, in the eyes of Roger Ebert and Pauline Kael, this picture is just a visual display of Hollywood's magic special effects. Various visual spectacle.

Of course, Joey's scene architecture is really good, those cloudy and rainy skies, dark and cramped alleys and mechanical romantic metropolis.But this only shows that she is an excellent architect and painter.

Then, as soon as the camera turned, a new scene appeared in front of their eyes.

This lens... hiss...

The corners of Roger Albert's eyes frowned slightly, and Pauline Kyle frowned slightly.

Finally seeing something that can wow professional film critics.

A shot looking up at the zenith, a completely looking up angle, a brilliant blue crystal bird bone, huge and crystal-clear hanging above the head.The light passing through the bird's bone is a cold and clear transparent blue, and the sunlight pouring down from the high patio is a decadent and gloomy dim gold.

All the other scenes aside, whoever designed this scene, they'd say she's a genius.

And this genius, of course, is Joey himself.

But professional film critics, they will never only pay attention to the picture, they pay more attention to the connotation and actors of a movie.

Jennifer Lawrence, this little-known young girl, Pauline Kyle has a faint smile on her lips. Does this girl full of talent and talent look more and more like Joey Grant back then?

She has an Oscar-caliber performance of a robot who is cold and ethereal but not just cold and ethereal, and it's an astonishingly sensual, like finding a gold in a pile of sand.

The movie is still going on at a leisurely pace with Joey's narration.

A hazy blue sky, an uninhabited abandoned city.

Disappointed humans wearing masks walking silently through the streets.

Shaking bells, low-pitched puppets, singing ethereal movements.

The spotlessly clean marble corridor, the towering church divided by colorful glass, and the motionless dolls in gorgeous costumes sitting on the ground.

All these magnificent scenes contain nothingness.

In Joey's movie, technology is nothing, the future is nothing, life is nothing, cities are nothing, and governments are nothing.

Pauline Kyle couldn't help but shook her head, she said: "I didn't expect Joey to be a nihilist."

Roger Ebert echoed: "I think it would be more accurate to call it the end of prosperity."

Pauline Kael laughed: "She is really... a negative and cruel utopian poet."

There is another place in this movie that can be called ingenious, and that is the philosophical thinking that Joey implanted in the movie.

Those accompanying and lonely philosophies have always surrounded them. After watching in depth and facing Joey's torture, Pauline Kael finally couldn't help but sighed in a low voice: "This movie is quite divine... "

Roger Albert slightly turned his head to look at Pauline Kyle, "Godhead? Well... I like this word."

Pauline Kyle smiled slightly, "This is a work in which Joey breaks through from personality to godhood. I like it."

Roger Ebert sighed and said, "I don't know how to write a film review. There are too many topics that can be discussed separately. I think it will take me a while to understand Joey."

With the final tragic ending, film critics have also begun to be touched to the highest point.Looking back from the beginning to the end and the ending together, it seems to smell a kind of deafening philosophical thinking.

When the boundaries between humans and machines are gradually blurring, who will decide everything?What exactly is a soul?If the machine self generates a soul, who is to decide whether it is human or not?

If you are not you now, all your memories are just a bunch of programs.So what is real?Is it what you see, what you hear, what you smell, what you feel?Wrong, that's just brain waves, what is reality?Truth is to be experienced with the heart.

This kind of philosophical thinking is beyond the comprehension of ordinary people.Joy didn't intend to let people think about this matter, she was only responsible for proposing, not answering.

But that's awesome enough!

Looking at the history of movies for so many years, how many movies have achieved such a high degree of philosophical thinking?How many sci-fi movies are so cold and human?

No.

This is the only movie that Joey Grant made for this world with a godlike character.

Under this shock, as the movie ended, the film critics began to slowly get up and leave the screening hall.

As the most authoritative film critic in the film critic circle, Roger Ebert has many newspapers, columns, and websites waiting for his film reviews.Now that "Ghost in the Shell" has passed the first "ten days", if Roger wants to, he can release a film review immediately.

This time, his speed was very fast, and he started to write with basically no attitude. On the second day, he published a film review on Metacritic, the most professional film review website in the United States.

Roger Ebert seldom publishes film reviews outside of newspapers and columns, because his film reviews are too valuable, but this time he did not wait so long, but chose to publish on Metacritic, just because his heart was too hard to suppress. As a professional film critic, he didn't want to wait a minute to express his opinion after seeing such a godlike movie.

On Metacritic, he wrote - [a movie with a godlike personality]

"This is Joy Grant's most obscure work, and it is also a film that expresses her extraordinary thinking. Not only because its worldview is unique, but also because the content it discusses is also philosophical."

"Joy Grant has been supernatural. She is not only a director, but also a philosopher."

"I think she's getting more and more powerful... Really, it's too powerful."

"In this era, the most amazing woman."

☆、Chapter 220

The Ghost in the Shell box office is endlessly taking a hurricane frenzy around the world.

This somewhat obscure film itself is unfriendly and unapproachable, but it has been welcomed and sought after by countless fans all over the world.

Because they can all see that this is a cross-age work with a divine personality.In addition, just looking at its visual and special effects, it is already worth the ticket price, even super value.

Although at least half of the movie fans didn't understand the true connotation of this movie, they can barely understand it, but the loneliness and depression alone have made this movie the most unique in this century. work.

Movie fans all over the world love Joey Grant even more, and many fans in Asia who don't know Joey well fall in love with Joey madly.

You can never know how many fans kneel in front of the big screen every day in movie theaters around the world.

Numerous newspapers, magazines, and media have unanimously praised "Ghost in the Shell".

"The pinnacle of science fiction. Like a forest image."

"The Apocalypse of the Mechanical Age. The Myth of Man and Machine."

"Human touch belongs to people who don't want to be dolls, or dolls who don't want to be people."

These are not the most exaggerated, the most exaggerated is that "New York Daily" even claimed - "Joy Grant is a prophet who plays with a crystal ball!"

"It is estimated that Joey Grant should have practiced in a certain life."

These have already turned Joy into a Buddha... The philosophical thinking she showed in the movie is not like what an ordinary person can think of, but more like a God who exists beyond the world!

No matter how history changes in the future, film history will definitely remember this work.

While the box office of "Ghost in the Shell" covered the whole world, countless movie fans shouted their hearts to her.

"Joy, you touched me again. This movie must be made into a series. I will keep watching it!"

"It is my honor that OHYES was born in the era of Joey Grant."

"Does Joey have a rival in Hollywood? Who else? James Cameron? Steven Spielberg? Ridley Scott? Clint Eastwood? Martin Scorsese ? None of them."

"Joy, you are still so young, you have become the most powerful director in the world. Youareno.1!"

"You are the greatest director of this century, comparable to Hitch Cook in my heart!"

Well, it's terrible, the box office of "Ghost in the Shell" made Paramount finally turn around.Paramount was finally able to raise its head in front of the other Big Six.

Such a blockbuster "Ghost in the Shell" is bound to be made into a series of movies.Make Paramount proud.

On this day, Joy was talking about some work matters in Paramount's office building, and stayed for most of the day. When she left the building, she almost looked stupid.

A large group of movie fans unfurled banners one by one in front of the Paramount building, standing there with enthusiastic and impulsive expressions.

The banners all read - "The God of World Movies: Joy"

"Ghost in the Shell: Best Movie of the New Century"

"Joey Grant I love you! No words can describe how much I love you!"

"Give you a movie, and you can give us back a new world of movies!"

"Please keep shooting, don't stop!"

A staff member of Paramount could only helplessly explain to Joey: "These crazy movie fans have been pulling banners here for several days, probably they love you too much. Do you want to go through the back door?"

Joey shook his head, "It's okay, I'll go through the main entrance, among them."

Then she pushed open the revolving glass door in front of the Paramount Building. After walking out, the fans saw Joey coming out, and immediately greeted him. After waiting for so many days, they finally saw the goddess!

"Goddess Joey, I finally see you! We really like you!"

"Wow, the goddess is so sexy in her dress today, is this the rhythm of going on a date?"

"Goddess, do you have a boyfriend? In fact, I can introduce you to a super nice man!"

"No, I think Joey is particularly suitable for a man, that is, Alexander Skarsgard, who is known as the sexiest man in Sweden! One is wise and the other is cold, wow!"

In short, the fans said too much, and Joey herself didn't remember a few words at all, but the only thing she remembered was the enthusiasm of the fans and the excitement in her heart.

Walking in the crowd to sign a few autographs for fans, she said excitedly: "Thank you, we will meet again in the next movie."

"Can the goddess tell me what the next movie is about?"

Joey rolled his eyes sharply and said, "Well...Actually, I didn't think about it...but you can expect that I will take pictures until the end of the world."

"We're looking forward to it!"

Afterwards, Joey signed a few more autographs for the fans and left.

However, she didn't expect that day that a bigger surprise was waiting for her.

That night, she received a photo taken by Catherine. It was the center of Times Square in New York, a huge LED screen hanging above the building, and several white lights flashed on the black screen. Large characters - "Joey Grant, you are the best!"

Joey's first reaction was dumbfounded, and then he asked Catherine, "What do you mean by posting such a picture to me?"

Catherine scolded Joey directly, "Are you stupid? I don't have time to go to pictures like P. Some of your fans jointly raised funds to buy this LED screen for 24 hours, and this line of words continued to be displayed on it."

Then she sighed, "Okay, now the whole world knows you're the best, Joey."

Joey doesn't have time to chat with Catherine anymore, she's full of thoughts now - Mygod! My fans bought the LED screen in Times Square! ?This is crazy!

But she was far away in Los Angeles, so she couldn't see the screen in person, ahhhh, so excited, I wanted to fly to New York right away!

At this moment, Joey's cell phone rang, and she quickly picked it up, "Huh? Tom."

Tom's voice seemed to come from a secluded area, "Sweetheart, you should have heard about the LED in the Times advertisement, right?"

Joy clamped the phone around her neck, then opened the curtains with a "swish", and the scenery of the coast of Santa Monica suddenly flooded into her eyes. She sighed regretfully, "It's a pity that I can't see it."

"I bought two plane tickets to New York. We'll go to Times Square right away. What do you think?"

Joey was taken aback by Tom's words, and then she frowned in disbelief and said, "No way...you..."

"I'm at your door." As soon as the voice fell, Joey heard a knock on the door.

She opened her mouth wide in surprise and ran to open the door. Tom was already standing in front of him, he took out two plane tickets from the breast pocket of his coat and smiled at Joey, "Do you want to immediately?" How about moving?"

Suddenly, Joey couldn't help the joy in his heart, grinning and slipping into Tom's arms, "Honey, you really know me best."

Tom put his arms around her, but was a little breathless under her weight, and then managed to choke out a sentence, "Honey, you, yes, no, yes, heavy again."

Joey rubbed his beard with his hand, "Wait for me for a while, I'll go to pack my luggage, but your stubble today is a bit irritating, do you want to shave it?"

Tom didn't seem to intend to shave, but brushed her hair with his hands, "I don't think it matters, but you will be more excited when you have a little beard and kiss you. After all, you like the stimulation of being tortured, don't you?"

Joey's expression suddenly became strange. She grabbed Tom's collar with one hand and pulled him over, licked her lips and whispered, "What do you mean?"

Tom teased her expressionlessly: "You know what I mean, you like abused little cats."

Joey pinched his shoulder with his hands and teased: "Prudish."

Unexpectedly, Tom grabbed her hands in the next second, and he pushed her body against the wall. There was a short smile on his mouth, coquettish and handsome, and his eyes were a little erotic. He whispered in her ear with a sexy and deep voice, with the tip of his nose against her cheek, "Actually, we have half an hour to spare."

Joey didn't resist at all. Tom's voice was magical. When she heard his low tone of voice, she felt powerless, and her body was about to move. She smiled and said, "How can half an hour be enough for you?"

"We can make a quick decision." Unknowingly, Tom had already wrapped his mouth around the straps on the shoulders of Joey's suspender nightdress, pulled it off, and kissed Joey's shoulders little by little.

Joey closed his eyes, panting slightly, "Well, you have to pinpoint the time."

Tom's breathing seemed to be heavier, "How do you want to be today? Lighter, still."

"Strength."

……

……

……

Half an hour later, the room, which was clearly clean and bright, looked extravagant and messy.

Joey and Tom have been standing by the wall for half an hour. To be precise, Joey has been pushed against the wall by Tom.

At this time, Joey slipped away from Tom's arms, walked to the window with the curtains drawn, and began to arrange the messy suspender nightdress on his body, and put the shoulder straps back on.

Tom supported the wall with one hand, tightened the belt around his waist with the other hand, panted heavily, and then simply turned over and leaned his back against the wall.

Joey turned back to him and smiled slightly: "Wait for me for a while, I'll pack the suitcase."

About half an hour later, they went out together.

The two got on a plane overnight to New York, and then went to Times Square in full armor not to be recognized.

When Joey was in the middle of Times Square, she finally saw the huge LED screen, on which glowing night fonts seemed to glow—"Joy Grant, you are really amazing!"

The thick night, the warm night wind, the hurried and desolate and lonely pedestrians, and the large LED characters shining brightly in the dark.

In an instant, various complex emotions intertwined and appeared in Joey's mind.

The hard work and dedication of the past 7 years, like a robot, devoted herself to work every day and night, and she was finally not in vain. She still has to get a lot, such as the love of movie fans.

This was something she had never dared to think about in her previous life.In this life, she got everything she dreamed of.

She must be the luckiest person in the world to get such an opportunity and everything like this.

At this moment, Tom put an arm around Joy's shoulders, pulled her into his arms, and teased her with a smile, "Please, don't tell me that you are so moved that you are going to cry, I didn't bring a tissue."

Joy tried to calm herself down, but her eyes were already red, she said: "Don't worry, but I have many complicated emotions, I don't think you will understand. Only people who have experienced loneliness for a very long time can understand Feel what I'm feeling right now."

Tom brushed away the broken hair on her forehead with his hand, and placed a kiss on her forehead, "It's okay, anyway, you will no longer be lonely in your life, I will be with you."

"I'm glad to hear that, thank you, Tom."

After staying in Times Square for a while, Joey and Tom left for fear of being recognized by others.

The two walked into a box in a restaurant, trying to have a little supper.

Joy was joking with Tom, she said: "Since my "Ghost in the Shell" was released, many big directors in Hollywood have come to me for contact information... You don't know, one day I received an email, It turned out that Martin Scorsese sent it to me..."

Tom was drinking a bowl of mushroom soup and smiled, "What did he tell you?"

Joey suddenly burst out laughing, "He said his 17-year-old granddaughter was obsessed with me, and he broke my new movie, and then he said that if he was born 40 years earlier, he would come to pursue me."

Tom frowned slightly with a smile, a signature helpless smile that often appeared in his movies, "That's not bad, the two directors work together, maybe they can make the world's No. Redemption."

Joey touched his neck and said, "Forget it, and Tom Hanks also sent me an email, saying that we hope we can cooperate if there is a chance."

Tom seemed a little dissatisfied and said, "It's better to find him than to find me. After all, I'm also an Oscar winner now."

Joey deliberately wanted to stimulate him, she said: "He won the Oscar 20 years earlier than you~"

Tom was obviously even more dissatisfied, "OK, whatever you want."

Joey said again as if comforting: "But don't be sad, Tom Hanks is old now, middle-aged and fat, and has no muscles. Only our soup is handsome and handsome for ten years."

Tom seemed to look better, but she didn't know that Joey did it on purpose. She suddenly changed the topic, "It's a pity that you have used your cameo acting skills in all the movies these years except "American Sniper"~"

Tom stared into Joey's face and said something Joey had hardly heard from him, he said, "fuckit"

"Hahahahahaha." The box was filled with Joey's burst of laughter.

Then, Joey and Tom discussed the next itinerary, well...they decided to go on vacation.

Tom just didn't have a job, so the two of them went crazy during this period of time. First, they went to Las Vegas and gambled recklessly in the casino. .

Then flew to Hawaii to go surfing, until the sun almost scorched Joey's complexion.

In the end, they returned to Los Angeles and lived for a while at Tom's mansion in Beverly Hills.

At this time, Joey had just woken up, she got up from the bed, and took advantage of the opportunity to cover her naked body with a nightgown.Tom is making breakfast at the stove in the kitchen.

After brushing his teeth and washing his face, Joey walked over and stood behind him, touched a bruise on his leg and said with a smile, "You hurt me last night, and it's still bruised."

Tom looked at her sideways, then picked up Joy and put her on the stove, while he squatted down and lifted up her nightdress to look at the bruise.

On the inside of Joey's thigh, there was a bruise that seemed to be pinched by a finger.

He didn't speak, but stared at the inner part of Joey's thigh.

Joey asked in wonder, "What are you looking at?"

Tom didn't answer, but suddenly lowered his head and approached the bruise, opened his mouth and licked it with his tongue.

Joy only felt a warm and soft scratch on the tender skin of her inner thigh, and she closed her eyes and gasped softly.

Afterwards, Tom's mouth left her thigh, stood up and kissed Joey's lips domineeringly and tenderly.

Joy hugged him and kissed him while laughing. She seemed to have endless enthusiasm for him, and then she turned off the fire on the stove, "It seems that the time for breakfast will be postponed."

……

……

……

Hollywood filmmakers may not have foreseen that during this period of time, the influence of "Ghost in the Shell" in the world is unprecedentedly strong.

It has created countless number one myths, and now its box office has netted $81 million in 8 markets around the world.

As a movie with a cost of 8000 million yuan, as a Japanese animation IP without a huge mass base in the European and American markets, it is basically a miracle that it can achieve the current box office results.

The philosophical thinking of "Ghost in the Shell" is now being circulated all over the world, and fans all over the world are crazy infatuated with Jennifer Lawrence's powerful, ethereal face.

Fans who were angry at Jennifer Lawrence for being ugly, country, and earthy before, now want to lick her all over!

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that "Ghost in the Shell" has successfully created a phenomenal movie craze.

After being silent for many years, cyberpunk suddenly became popular all over the world, and the fire became more and more vigorous, as well as the philosophy in a series of movies such as the grand theory of utopia where machinery is overused, and the emptiness of technology. The topic is also hot all over the world.

Novels, comics, animations, TV dramas, and movies about cyberpunk and mechanical romance have sprung up like mushrooms after rain, spreading across the entire earth.

These are all phenomenal crazes caused by Joey's "Ghost in the Shell".

How many industries of the same style have become popular with one of her movies!

The heroine Jennifer Lawrence also ushered in the spring of her career. After this hit and phenomenal work, she received Paramount's "The Hunger Games". Back then, Joey Grant also soared into the sky.

If you want to know how hot the fire of "Ghost in the Shell" is, look at the books and magazines in the streets and alleys, how many are talking about cyberpunk, and you will know the mechanical romance.

It is foreseeable that for a period of time in the future, movies and TVs about cyberpunk, mechanical romance and follow-up themes will definitely occupy all big and small screens.

The whole world will remember this cross-age work - "Ghost in the Shell".

The author has something to say: The old driver leads the way.

☆、Chapter 221

Joey has been back in Los Angeles for a while, and "Ghost in the Shell" is also released. On this day, she deliberately took the time to go to Paramount to ask for money.

That's right, according to the contract, Paramount should give her the first part of the dividend today.

She put on light makeup, combed her hair and went out.

Joey got his first part of the dividend from Paramount, and also met the long-lost Hughes.

When Joey walked into Hughes' office, he saw Hughes sitting there quietly. He was dressed very formally today, a neat new black suit with a neatly folded white piece on the chest pocket square.

He changed his hairstyle, and combed all the fine forehead hair and sideburns to the back of his head with pomade. He has a handsome and big back hair.

The fire in the fireplace in the spacious and luxurious office was burning vigorously, and the "crackling" noise stimulated the eardrums.

She walked in, looked at Hughes who had a new look today, and looked at Hughes with an incredible expression, "What's wrong with you today? You are so handsome, are you sure you are not going to get married?"

With a fleeting smile on his lips, Hughes got up and invited Joey to sit down in a gentlemanly manner, "Where have you been recently, it seems that you are not in Los Angeles."

After Joey was seated, Hughes poured her a glass of red wine, and she swung the glass a few times, "Well... I'm on vacation, so I'm not in China, I went to Hawaii and Las Vegas."

Hughes stood beside Joey, leaning against the table with his back, looking down at her, "Is it fun?"

Joey stuffed a cherry tomato into his mouth, and his brows stretched, "Well, it's not bad. I mean, everyone really should go to Las Vegas casinos to relieve stress."

Hughes said abruptly, "Did you go alone?"

Joey replied naturally, "Of course not, how boring a person is."

Hughes looked down at Joey, with a rare gentle smile, not only did not laugh at Joey, but said in a very doting tone: "Next time I will take you to the most exclusive casino in Las Vegas- The venue is generally not open to outsiders, only acquaintances can enter."

Joy felt that Hughes' tone was strange and uncomfortable, so she frowned slightly and looked at him and said, "Thank you for your enthusiasm, but I don't think so."

Hughes suddenly changed his tone again, as if with some memories, some emotions, and some nostalgia, he said, "Joy, after so many years, have you ever thought about a possibility?"

There was a plate of cherry tomatoes on the conference desk in Hughes' office, and Joey used a fork to plunge into a cherry tomato, and then stuffed it into his mouth, "Hughes, when did you start to play tricks? That's not like your style."

There were a few chuckles from Hughes above his head. Even though his attitude was very "correct" in Joey's eyes at the moment, it still couldn't conceal the arrogance and arrogance in his bones. He said, "I mean, have you ever thought about it?" One possibility, we're back together."

After saying these words, it was as if a stone had thrown Joey into a daze.

She stared wide-eyed, incredulous, incomprehensible, with a hot brain, and looked at Hughes in a hellish way. The scene was silent for about half a minute before Joey squeezed out a few words from his teeth, "The sentence just now is actually are you kidding me?"

Hughes leaned against the table and put his hands on his chest and looked at her. "No. I'm serious."

Joey continued to widen his eyes and open his mouth, forgetting to even blink, "OHFU-CK, Hughes, are you crazy? We broke up for seven years, are you telling me this now?"

Hughes looked away, as if he was a little guilty and unwilling to look into Joey's eyes. In fact, he did feel a little guilty towards Joey when they broke up. He failed Joey, although he had his reasons.Then he said: "We don't need to mention the past, we only talk about the present, can you accept me to pursue you again?"

"How is it possible not to mention the past?" Joey suddenly picked up the napkin to wipe his hands and threw it on the table, and said in a very unfriendly tone: "Are you kidding, you think the relationship is what you want so what?"

Hughes' eyes flickered a little, he never looked into Joey's eyes, he found that he couldn't meet her eyes, but his tone was still very
