836 weird habits
New York, with the cold wave passing through, was rarely quiet at midnight. The damp streets, rich night, and silent high-rise buildings made this city a little strange and a little cold. However, Rooney Mara felt a little uneasy. can't calm down.
“"One Person's Concert" has ended an hour ago, but when I close my eyes, those fragmented melody fragments are still spinning in my mind, and they are spinning again and again, and I can't forget them for a long time. Turning around, in the empty new apartment, neatly There were moving boxes, still waiting to be unpacked, but Rooney had no urge to do anything. She thought for a moment, picked up her coat, and left the house..
After Christmas, Rooney finally made up her mind to leave Los Angeles and come to New York..
Rooney's family has a strong influence on the east coast of the United States. Her grandfather is the owner of the New York Giants, and her maternal grandfather is the founder of the Pittsburgh Steelers. In order to get rid of the family's influence, when she first decided to become an actor, Rooney chose Go to Los Angeles and start your career as an actor in the most prosperous city in the film industry and on the sunny West Coast..
But after the ups and downs of the past six years, until the rise of the "social network", Rooney gradually became tired of Los Angeles..
The art circles of the two cities are actually very similar. In the final analysis, various vanity fair rules are at play; and compared to New York, Los Angeles is more impetuous, more vain, and more prosperous, and no one is willing to calm down and devote themselves to artistic creation. ; On the contrary, New York, which has always been cold and arrogant, still retains a pure land of art..
So, Rooney came back. Three days ago, she officially moved back to New York. However, instead of settling in a prosperous place such as Long Island or the Upper East Side, she chose a place as vulgar, civilian, chaotic, colorful, close, and intimate as Greenwich Village. Friendly, sharp art corner, found an apartment.
On just the second day after returning to New York, news about the "One Man Concert" broke out.
Renly Hall, the actor who had a great conversation on the night in Telluride, the actor who meditated quietly on the streets of Seattle, the actor who skipped the Oscar and shaved his head for the movie, Rooney will not deny that, She was also a little curious, a little critical, a little picky, a little expectant. Recalling the memory fragments of the two people chatting alone, Rooney decided to go to the scene to verify it in person..
It just so happened that a party was held at home on the night of the 16th, and many celebrities were invited to attend. Rooney could use this as an excuse to escape. So, early in the morning, Rooney went to Madison Square Garden in person to queue up to buy tickets..
While lining up, Rooney imagined the format, appearance, specifications, etc. of the concert, and even a performance with Renly standing on the stage singing and dancing. To be honest, it was a bit funny; but in fact, all her guesses were wrong. Well, the actual concert showed an aura and style beyond imagination. Those melodies that echoed deeply in the mind and the imprints that were deeply imprinted in the soul truly turned the moment into eternity..
Put on earplugs and play music. The first track of the "Don Quixote" album is "Cleopatra". The cheerful melody comes to mind. Naturally, Rooney can think of the whole audience. The scene of 20,000 spectators applauding collectively was so majestic and vigorous that even the spectacular and shocking meteor shower in the sky was not enough to describe one ten thousandth of the excitement..
What is playing now is a digital audio source. She just bought it on iTunes after returning home tonight; but now, she wants to buy a physical album, a real album. Will the touch of her fingertips feel different?.
I walked around for a few streets, but couldn't find a record shop that was open 24 hours a day. I saw the supermarket on the corner of the corner of my eye, and with the mentality of giving it a try, I entered the supermarket and went straight to the store selling albums. and the area for books, and then... found it. She found it.
Everything was as imagined, but everything was different. Rooney searched for a long time on the cover, and then found the bulletin board hidden in the background wall, "Renly Hall", that The secret existence seems like a secret code that can only be found among the Don Quixotes..
She likes such small details. As a singer, he is like this; as an actor, he is also like this. She feels that that guy is really a weird existence. He is only twenty-two years old, how can he have the whole world in his head? ? This reminded her of her original mood when reading "One Hundred Years of Solitude": always curious, always amazed, always exploring.
The music coming from the earphones happened to play "Budapest", and she couldn't help but stand on her tiptoes, jumping and dancing lightly, as if she was traveling between the castle and the river in Budapest. She was obviously wearing a white T-shirt and jeans. She still had a pair of white canvas shoes on her feet, but she felt like the hem of her skirt was flying up, and the smile at the corner of her mouth rose slightly..
The supermarket late at night is empty and quiet, but it is not an empty city. The atmosphere of life with tea, rice, oil and salt makes people enjoy it. Maybe it is because of the supermarket, maybe because of the music, maybe it is a combination of both, Rooney's irritability Her mind gradually settled down, and she realized that her apartment was still empty, and she was currently wandering in the supermarket, so why not take advantage of the situation and go shopping?？
Bought toiletries, cleaning supplies, daily necessities... Rooney didn't even have time to buy food. The basic supplies alone had already filled the entire cart. When she passed by the shelf of cleaning supplies, she thought Got up, I forgot to buy laundry detergent.
“"Hoo", Rooney pushed the cart and ran quickly, sprinting as hard as she could, then her feet lifted off the ground, and she flew up, humming a moving melody. Unknowingly, she seemed to be back at the concert again, Swing to your heart's content. Such a night is really joyful. But then, the extreme joy leads to sorrow..
When turning into the laundry detergent aisle, Rooney saw a person sitting cross-legged on the ground from a distance. There was a cart next to him, which opened up most of the aisle, enough for another cart to pass smoothly. The problem is , Rooney was driving at a high speed and lost control of the direction of the car. She quickly jumped out and used her feet to brake urgently, but even so, she still collided with the other cart..
“Sorry, really sorry.”
Rooney couldn't help but grinned, apologizing all over her face, and said repeatedly. Fortunately, the guy sitting cross-legged was not only not angry, but also politely moved the cart to the side. Rooney was even more grateful..
She carefully came to the shelf and started to choose laundry detergent, but she encountered a problem. Looking at the laundry detergents with different shapes but unable to distinguish them, Rooney was a little dazed. "Do you need a little help?" came from diagonally in front of her. Hearing the questioning voice, Rooney nodded subconsciously, "Oh, that would be great..”
I took off my earplugs, raised my head, and saw the man in front of me..
With sparse eyebrows, starry eyes, and slightly pursed lips, he was full of energy but elegant and calm. "Young man" was the first word that came to Rooney's mind. Then Rooney caught the surprise and astonishment in the man's eyes, as if Seeing their own appearance, both of them were slightly stunned, obviously not expecting such a situation.：
In the aisle of a supermarket, just before midnight, he and she, two acquaintances, met again..
So Rooney joked seriously, "I want to know which kind of laundry detergent won't hurt your hands? You know, there are chemical ingredients that may hurt the skin." Then she nodded and stretched out her hands. He raised his hands and said, "You know, women always have some troubles and need to worry about this and that..”
Renly also responded to the joke seriously, "Thank you for reminding me, otherwise I would have forgotten that you are a woman..”
When their eyes crossed, the curves of the corners of their mouths were so similar - there was a pause, then they both raised their eyes, and their lowered eyelids hid their surging smiles, as if two people were standing in front of a mirror, looking at their own reflections..
After the laughter, Rooney's eyes fell on the earbuds in her hand, tilting her head and squinting, "Thank you for tonight's performance. You gave an unforgettable performance. To be honest, I will start now I'm a little confused. Maybe you should be a better singer than an actor..”
Rooney was joking, but she put on a serious face and her eyes were extremely sincere. What she was even more curious about was how Renly would respond? Especially after tonight's garden miracle.
Renly's eyes moved up and down, as if he was thinking, "Well, should I understand that tonight's ticket is worth the price? Or should I understand that you watched my movie before, and now you are regretting your original movie? ticket？”
“……”A group of crows flew by. This was an absolute cold joke. Rooney looked at Renly blankly, pursed her lips, lowered her head, and laughed muffledly..
“That's really bad humor, right? "Renly's questioning voice came over. Rooney was having a hard time suppressing her laughter, but she still didn't forget to nod her head vigorously in agreement. Renly then said, "Can I do it again now?？”
That sincere question made Rooney smile even more happily, and she had to use the strength of her hands to avoid laughing out loud, "Very good, then we should change the topic: Did you watch tonight's concert?"？”
Rooney covered her cheeks with her hands, laughed muffledly several times, and then removed her hands, "You should know that the turn of this topic is extremely abrupt, right?"？”
Renly raised his eyebrows slightly, "You should also know that I am not in the best condition today, right?？”
Rooney stopped smiling, but there was still a smile in her eyes, "Yes, anyone who has experienced such a wonderful concert should be exhausted by this time..”
“Oh, no, that's not what I meant." Hearing Rooney's words, Renly seemed to suddenly realize, "I mean, today is not a date day. I am not ready for a date. My sense of humor and gentlemanly manners have all been forgotten. Home.”
Rooney's eyes fell on the corner of Renly's mouth, and Renly's eyes fell on Rooney's eyes, and at the same time a hint of tacit cunning flashed through her eyes..
