1980 My Literary Era.

Chapter 385 The Banquet of San Remo
At the end of April, it is spring in New York.

Lin Weimin got up and went to the balcony of the bedroom first. The Central Park in spring seemed to have laid a green and fluffy carpet for the Big Apple City, which made people feel refreshed.

Comrade Lao Mi really put his heart into it, Lin Weimin sighed in his heart.

The sugar-coated cannonballs of capitalism are indeed sweet.

After a simple wash, Lin Weimin went downstairs, and when he passed by the reception desk in the lobby, the little Caucasian girl standing in the reception gave him a surprised look.

In the Dakota apartment, there is only one yellow person, and that is Yoko Ono, John Lennon's widow. When did another yellow person appear?

Lin Weimin didn't know what the white girl was thinking, so he went straight out of the apartment and found that the driver, Huang Guangsheng, was already waiting by the roadside at the entrance of the apartment in that half-new Mercedes-Benz.

He got in the car and said hello, and asked Huang Guangsheng to find him a roadside cart stand. Lin Weimin bought a sandwich and a cup of coffee, and went back to the car to eat.

Huang Guangsheng looked at Lin Weimin through the rearview mirror and said with a smile: "Mr. Lin, you have already integrated into the city of New York."

"Why do you say that?" Lin Weimin chewed on the sandwich, and took another sip of coffee, which seemed to be mixed with water, more water than instant coffee.

"Look outside the car!"

After Huang Guangsheng said something, Lin Weimin looked away.

Pedestrians are in a hurry on the street, just walking on the road seems extremely busy.

"New Yorkers are so busy that they don't even have time for breakfast. They just buy all kinds of cheap, quick food from street cart stands and eat breakfast on the commute."

Lin Weimin chewed the sandwich, "That's really pathetic!"

Huang Guangsheng was amused by Lin Weimin's words, and Lin Weimin asked at this time: "So, did you decide to become an actor in order to avoid living such a life like a cow and a horse?"

Huang Guangsheng's smile stopped on his face. Just now, he thought that Mr. Lin was a gentleman with a sense of humor. Why did he turn around and stab a knife in the heart of a person?
If you can't chat, don't chat.

Huang Guangsheng held back for a few seconds before saying, "I went out earlier than them, but the food is the same."

Lin Weimin laughed: "It seems that everyone is similar, it's just that the time to go out is different."

Huang Guangsheng lamented in his heart that what he eats is not important. For New Yorkers, the time they go out determines their status and achievements in society.

With the joke just now, the communication between Huang Guangsheng and Lin Weimin was very pleasant.He came to the United States from his father's generation. His parents now opened a laundry shop in Chinatown. He himself went to high school and failed to go to college. Because he had an actor's heart, he went to Broadway to become an actor. .

It's a pity that there are too many young people chasing dreams like him on Broadway. Huang Guangsheng has nothing to stand out among them, and even has a disadvantage, which is his skin color.

While talking, Huang Guangsheng couldn't help sighing.

"I really admire a talented person like you!"

Before Huang Guangsheng, he had been doing odd jobs on the crew of "Untouchable", and he couldn't even get into a trick. He could only stand on the stage and look sideways at the actors on the stage every day, envious.

The original work of "Untouchable" was written by a Chinese, and he had heard about it a long time ago.

He was born in the United States, and he often heard his parents talk about various problems in China since he was a child, so he has no sense of belonging to China.

But when I know that the screenwriter has yellow skin and dark eyes like myself, I still feel a little proud of myself.

Arthur Miller asked him to be Lin Weimin's driver for two months with the conditions of the role, and he couldn't have wished for it even more.Although he knew that this role was not too big, and it was slightly better than a side role, it was already a rare opportunity for him.

The two chatted casually, and the car circled the Upper West Side aimlessly.

Manhattan is called Uptown by New Yorkers. It is divided into two parts with Broadway and Central Park as the central axis. The east side is the Upper East Side, and the west side is the Upper West Side.

The Upper East Side is a well-known wealthy district throughout the United States, and it often appears in various rice dramas of later generations.

The Upper West Side is famous as a holy land of literature and art. Unlike Hollywood in Los Angeles, which is full of luxury and entertainment, the literary atmosphere of the Upper West Side highlights a romantic, literary and artistic atmosphere.

This is a paradise for artists and known as the cultural and intellectual center of Manhattan. Many actors, writers, and painters choose to live here. Cafes and bookstores can be seen everywhere in the Upper West Side.

Rejecting Huang Guangsheng's suggestion to continue to visit Manhattan, Lin Weimin asked Huang Guangsheng to put him across from Dakota's apartment.

"This is Strawberry Fields. In honor of John Lennon, New York City built a memorial here, which opened last year."

The Strawberry Fields is a 72-square-meter triangular-shaped land, just at the entrance of the park on West [-]nd Street, directly facing the Dakota Apartment.

Huang Guangsheng sat and chatted with Lin Weimin in the park, and he enjoyed such a job.

After lunch, Huang Guangsheng reminded Lin Weimin, "Mr. Lin, there is a dinner party tonight, you should prepare a suit."

Lin Weimin looked at his casual clothes and felt that what Huang Guangsheng said made sense.

It must be too late to go to the clothing store now, so Lin Weimin asked Huang Guangsheng to drag him to the mall.

Manhattan will be short of everything, but definitely not short of luxury stores.

After spending more than 1000 meters for a similar outfit, Lin Weimin looked in the mirror and felt pretty good.

Capitalism has the benefits of capitalism, and it works wherever you have money.

It was past five o'clock in the afternoon, and Huang Guangsheng drove Lin Weimin to the San Remo Apartment on 75th Street.

Similar to the location of Dakota Apartment, it is also located on the west side of Central Park.But the difference is that the balcony in Sanremo not only has a stunning view of Central Park, but the balcony on the other side can also see the Hudson River in West Manhattan.

In a place where real estate is at such a premium in New York, such apartments are rare and expensive.

San Remo was built 20 years later than Dakota, and it actually has an underground garage.

After parking the car in the underground garage, Lin Weimin got out of the car, saw Huang Guangsheng still sitting in the car, and subconsciously asked, "Jack, aren't you going?"

Huang Guangsheng smiled bitterly, "Mr. Lin, Mr. Miller didn't invite me."

Lin Weimin nodded. He understood Huang Guangsheng's bitterness, and after pondering, he said, "I don't think Mr. Arthur Miller would mind if I bring a companion."

Huang Guangsheng was pleasantly surprised when he heard the words, and asked in disbelief: "Really? Is it really possible?"

Lin Weimin didn't speak, but knocked on the car window.

Huang Guangsheng couldn't wait to open the car door, got out of the car and was about to leave, stopped there again, adjusted his hair in front of the rearview mirror of the car, and muttered: "Just bring a bottle of mousse."

Lin Weimin smiled helplessly, waited for him for a few seconds, and the two got on the elevator together.

Knocking on the door of Arthur Miller's house, it was Arthur Miller's wife who opened the door. To be precise, it was his third wife, Inge Moras, who was a photographer.

Arthur Miller had a famous ex-wife, Marilyn Monroe, who married in 1956 and divorced in 1961.

Inge Moras was very enthusiastic when he saw Lin Weimin, and Lin Weimin was not used to sticking to her face, and Inge Moras greeted the room: "Arthur, Lin is here!"

Arthur Miller appeared and pulled Lin Weimin affectionately, "Lin, come quickly, let me introduce you."

Today's dinner was to welcome Lin Weimin, and Arthur Miller invited many of his friends.

"This is Kermit Bloomgarden, my old partner. He's been the producer of all my plays."

"This is Sean Adam, who has directed two of my plays and is also my old partner!"

Arthur Miller introduced his old partner to Lin Weimin, and Bloomgarden and Adam were also very curious about Lin Weimin, a writer from ancient China.

"Untouchable" was brought to the United States by Arthur Miller. At the beginning, he approached Kermit Bloomgarden and asked him to help attract investors to invest, but Kermit Bloomgarden was in After learning that this is a play written by a Chinese, I rejected this proposal. It is too difficult to want a Chinese play to be staged on the American stage.

But Arthur Miller insisted on doing it. In order to make "The Untouchable" be staged successfully, he did not hesitate to spend his own money to make a drama.

In the end, it turned out that Arthur Miller's vision was brilliant, and he succeeded.

Bloomgarden felt incredible.

Several people were chatting, and Arthur Miller introduced another Asian woman who was busy in the kitchen with Inger Moras to Lin Weimin.

"Lin, this is Baayork Lee, she is Chinese and a Broadway actress."

"Hello, my name is Li Baoyu."

Li Baoyu is of Indian-Chinese mixed race. She is very short, maybe less than 1.5 meters. She is one of the few Asian actors who can make a name for herself on Broadway, but her major is musicals.

The reason why Arthur Miller invited her today is entirely because of her blood, which can make Lin Weimin feel a little closer in the strange New York.

Li Baoyu understood this truth, and deliberately reviewed the Chinese names that had not been called for decades.

Lin Weimin said with a relaxed smile: "Ms. Li, there is no need to force yourself. I am uncomfortable listening to your Chinese, and I think your speaking is also uncomfortable."

Li Baoyu laughed out loud. She lived in the country of America since she was a child, and she has been completely westernized. Speaking Chinese can no longer be described as bad, it is completely a bible.

In the 80s, Lao Mi knew very little about Chinese people, and many people had strong stereotypes about Chinese people, even if Li Baoyu was half Chinese.

But in the process of communicating with Lin Weimin, everyone did not feel this stereotype. They are calm, confident, generous, and at the same time humorous, which makes people feel good.

In the kitchen, the chef Arthur Miller specially invited to host the dinner and his wife Inger Moras were busy, while everyone was chatting in the living room.

At this time, the doorbell of Arthur Miller's house was rang again.
