The Greatest Showman - Chapter 2016

[One thousand nine hundred and eighty]

“Boom boom boom!”

When the accelerator was stepped on to the bottom, the speed reached the extreme, instantly creating the illusion that he was participating in a Formula 1 racing car. Even through the window, you could feel the swish gust of wind continuing to flow backwards. Even the body began to enter a faint state of weightlessness, the whole heart floated, the tension, the stimulation, the sturdy, let the body secrete a lot of dopamine and adrenaline, and it exploded like this. .

“Whoosh!” The

car broke through the encirclement like this, and then left all the vehicles behind. The sparseness and carefreeness of “Pull through the clouds and mist to see the bright moon” grew from the depths of my heart, and even a kind of escape emerged. With the illusion of the sky, cheers and applause are automatically on the line – but only for Annie.

Although it was just a momentary collision, the situation was very critical. From the crowd of people in the arrival hall of the airport to the iron barrel encirclement, in less than 20 minutes, the mood was always tense, which really made people feel It feels like walking back and forth on the high-altitude wire rope.

Annie’s reaction is completely understandable, it should even be said to be the only normal one – Nolan is not good at expressing himself; while Renly is able to completely control himself, neither of them reacts normally.

“Wow! Oh hoo!” Annie raised her hands high, and couldn’t help but cheered loudly, celebrating the moment she escaped from death, but looking at Nolan and Renly who didn’t respond, Annie was also a little surprised. Weakly, “Hey, you two, aren’t you going to respond? At least we need to thank the driver, don’t we? You guys make me feel a little neurotic, doesn’t that feel right?”

At this moment, the chaos resumed .

“Bah!”

“Bah! Bah!”

“Bah!” The

trumpets sounded like celebration fireworks, and the vigorous sound was playing a symphony chapter with no context at all, as if the whole orchestra The fifteen members of , each immersed in their own world, playing their own, and the scene was chaotic.

The piercing sound echoed on the empty and quiet highway for a long time, and inexplicably made people sound the ancient marriage tradition of blowing the suona and beating the waist drum to welcome the relatives. However, this suona band should have never cooperated, and they wanted to do it on purpose. Smashing this wedding makes people laugh and cry.

But why?

Obviously, the driver honked the horn just now and issued a warning and threat in this way, forcing the car directly ahead blocking the road to move out of the way,

This won the opportunity to escape the encirclement and avoided a large-scale serial accident; but the sound of such horns fell into the ears of the car array behind, but it evolved into a kind of… a means of support, a means of response, So everyone couldn’t wait to honk their horns and join in this “carnival”.

Amuse to death, entertain to death, entertain to death.

Although this sentence has become more and more common, almost everyone already knows it; but at this moment, the deep meaning of this sentence is unprecedentedly clear and clear – irony, joke, absurd, spoof, helplessness, sadness , just like seeing a sad clown performing hard on the street but no one is willing to stop for him, the five flavors are really indescribable.

Annie’s words just stayed on her lips, and even her expression didn’t change. It just stopped for a moment, too ridiculous to know how to react.

“Ha. Ha.”

A dull laughter leaked out, and Renly couldn’t hold back after all. Everything tonight was really ridiculous. It was absurd one time at a time, and after enduring it, it became a highway horn sonata. At the beginning of the performance, the absurdity reached its extreme, and then it formed the effect of black comedy, and Renly laughed outright.

Even for two generations, such a magical sight is second to none.

Annie and Nolan exchanged glances. They thought the other would be worried, but they found a smile in each other’s eyes, and the corners of their mouths rose little by little. In the end, they couldn’t hold back. That’s it. He clapped his hands happily and laughed, completely wanton.

All the tension and fear, all the confusion and absurdity, all the accidents and stumblings, all turned into laughter and released at this moment, and the lines of the shoulders, which were tense to the point of being stiff, were finally able to relax, and then controlled The valve was opened and the laughter stopped.

Even the driver was infected and laughed along with him.

But the smile and relaxation were only temporary, and the team appeared again in the rear-view mirror. Those vehicles still couldn’t get rid of them completely, and they chased after them again.

“What should I do?” Annie’s mood was a little flustered. She hadn’t had time to savor the fortune of the rest of her life, and then realized that the crisis still hadn’t been resolved. “Are they going to follow along?” Renly could sense

Annie .

Although he didn’t want to admit it, he couldn’t deny it, he hesitated and gave a positive answer, “Yes, they will follow us all the way to the hotel to find out where we are staying, if possible, even possible I will stay in the same hotel, hoping to create a chance encounter in the lobby, corridor or bar.”

“Phew, now I’m pretty sure that this is flesh and blood.” Nolan came to the conclusion directly.

Renly didn’t object.

But Renly thinks the funniest and most helpless part is this: As you can see from the last “Gravity” publicity, he doesn’t mind revealing his location.

Because in the information age, there is no way to keep secrets, and the ubiquitous social networks always have a way to find the exact location; what’s more, their trip is for publicity, and all their itineraries are closely related to the media, fans, and the public. , there was no need to conceal his whereabouts.

But even so, the fanatical fans still choose to follow the car, and the scale of the following car has grown more than seven months ago.

But right now, Renly didn’t want to dwell too much on this detail—if the logic really worked, there would have been no vehicle collisions just now.

Renly adjusted his sitting position, patted the driver’s seat, and said in Chinese, “Let’s increase the speed. On the premise of ensuring driving safety, get to the hotel as soon as possible, and don’t get caught in the circle. I know that speeding may face fines. And violations, the follow-up fines let your company come to me.”

Originally, Renly wanted to say “penalty points”, but on the one hand, he had never driven a car in Modu in the last life, and he didn’t know whether speeding should be penalized or not; on the other hand, he didn’t want to show himself Being too familiar with Chinese culture, for him who has never lived here, details like penalty points are a bit too much.

But Renly believes that drivers will make their own decisions.

Sure enough, the driver’s eyes suddenly lit up when he looked at the rearview mirror, “Really?”

Renly smiled, “Really.”

“Okay!” The driver said cheerfully, twisting his neck. , the joints broke out with a crackling sound, as if it was just a warm-up so far, and then the speed of the car suddenly jumped up, because of the huge inertia, Renly’s back slammed into the back of the seat, and then it was like this Stick tightly.

Annie and Nolan were stunned when they saw this. Annie asked, “What did you tell him? Why does he seem to be ready to participate in the ‘Fast & Furious’ drag race now?”

“Is he a former racer? ?” Nolan couldn’t hold back, “Why do I think the situation is a little bad? Renly, what did you just say?”

“Ah… I think I’ve opened Pandora’s Box.” Renly himself was full of Confused, “I just hope I can get to the hotel as soon as possible, and don’t get caught in a circle, because the situation is really too dangerous. But why does it feel weird, I always feel like I’m in Luc Besson’s taxi? ”

That’s not a wonderful description, is it?” Nolan’s eyes widened, and there was a rare look of fright on his cheeks, which had always been expressionless.

In 1998, the comedy film “Taxi Express”, in which French director Luc Besson was the screenwriter and producer, was born. It tells the story of a taxi driver who is a racing master. He is very keen on racing, so he modified himself. His taxi can speed up to 120 miles in a 30-mile speed limit area without ever having any accidents. Such superb skills have also allowed him to assist the police in solving many cases.

After the film was released, it was very popular all over the world. Later, four sequels were launched one after another, which can be regarded as the representative work of French commercial films.

Now, Renly uses the film as a metaphor, implying that it couldn’t be clearer: One of the most classic scenes in the movie is when every passenger in the taxi wants to vomit because the speed is too fast. But because of the extreme speed, he couldn’t vomit. Only when he stopped, he could vomit.

This… doesn’t seem like a good thing.

“Buzzing.” The

phone started to ring, Annie picked up the phone in a panic, the call was her assistant, she could only briefly explain the situation, “Renly’s phone seems to be It didn’t ring, I don’t know… but just had a little friction accident, don’t worry, we’re all fine, now we’re on our way to the hotel, well, it’s not the best time to talk… we’re fine, don’t worry.” Finished in a hurry, hung up the phone quickly, and Annie grabbed the handle above her head tightly.

Then, Renly and the two companions joined hands to truly experience the thrill of “speed and passion”. In the streets of Modu in the early hours of the morning, the fast walking through the city turned all the sights of the city into a glimpse, and the cool night The wind and blurry light and shadow create the illusion of traveling through a time tunnel, while the adrenaline rush makes the journey exciting and enjoyable.

However, in order to avoid accidents, the speed has not been fully reached, and the main purpose is to prevent the tail from forming an encirclement.

As a result, the tail hanging from a distance behind him also lingered, either far or near, and they followed Renly and his party all the way to the hotel where they stayed.
