The days of being a spiritual mentor in Meiman.

Chapter 246 Hollywood Black and White Movie
Early in the morning, in the office of the Arkham Nursing Home, Schiller put down the book he was holding, and Peter, carrying a schoolbag, stood at the door and knocked on the door. Schiller looked up and said, "Please come in."

"Doctor, I'm back." Peter seemed very excited. After he walked in, he took off the schoolbag on his shoulder, opened the zipper and began to rummage in the bag. After searching for a long time, he exclaimed: "Oh, in the here!"

As he said that, he took out a box from his schoolbag, which was a square transparent box containing an old-fashioned video tape, the kind used on a hand-cranked projector.

Peter handed the tape to Schiller, scratched his head, and said a little embarrassedly, "I think you'll like this."

Schiller took the tape with a smile and said, "I'm more curious than the gift. How was your trip to Hollywood?"

Peter showed a strange expression, two eyebrows were raised and lowered to form a step, and the eyes were big and small, which was even more funny, which made Schiller see the most common funny expression of Spider-Man in the comics.

Peter sighed and said, "That's a long story,"

While unpacking the old-fashioned videotape, Schiller said, "No rush, we can talk while watching old movies."

Peter looked at the old-fashioned video tape that was taken out, and said, "This thing is an old antique. Modern projectors should not be able to use this kind of video tape, right?"

"You should know, who has a projector that can play this..."

The light in the morning began to get brighter and brighter, passing the morning and noon, and came to the drowsy afternoon.

With a "click", Steve bent down and snapped the bracket of the old-fashioned projector over, then pointed to the window.

Stark cursed and walked to the window and closed the curtains. Schiller sat on one side of the sofa and clinked glasses with Connors who was on the single sofa next to him. Natasha lowered her head and fiddled with a statuette souvenir.

"I said, besides this old antique, who else would like to use this kind of broken machine to play this kind of antique film?"

After Stark said this, everyone in the room looked up at him, and Stark froze for a moment and said, "I'm not the only one who doesn't want to see it?"

"Please, with this time, why don't I create something new for human civilization?"

Stark muttered while sitting down on the sofa, and Steve, standing behind the sofa, turned the button of the projector, and as the black and white images were projected onto the wall in front of him, Steve also walked over, Sit down on the couch.

Accompanied by the brisk jazz in the movies of the last century, in Schiller's vision, the items in the room began to fade, the surface of the fabric sofa became smoother little by little, and the luster of the leather sofa spread from one corner until it covered the entire sofa.

The stand of the table lamp is elevated, the retro pattern on the glass lampshade climbs up like vines, the old wood grain spreads on the alloy window frame, the sunlight coming in from the window changes from dazzling to dim, and the moment the sun falls below the horizon , "Dong Dong" knocked on the door.

Standing outside the door was Bruce. Schiller put down the pen in his hand, stood up, looked at him and said, "Is your Hollywood trip over?"

Bruce pursed his lips, his expression looked a little weird, Schiller said, "What's wrong? Selena doesn't feel comfortable?"

"She adapts very well." Bruce's tone was a little low, but it revealed a trace of complexity.

"So it seems that you are not used to it?"

Bruce didn't speak, took out a beautifully wrapped wooden box from the bag in his hand, handed it to Schiller and said, "...souvenir, professor."

Schiller took the box, saw the old videotape inside, and said, "How did you know I had an old projector in my estate? ... Oh, never mind, that's a stupid question."

With a "click", Harvey straightened the bracket of the projector, and then pointed the head of the projector at the wall. Victor put down his wine glass and leaned on the back of the soft leather sofa. Gordon was lighting a cigar for Schiller, and then he He also picked up a cigar and lit it, exhaling a puff of smoke.

Bruce squinted on the side sofa, looking sleepy like a bat napping in a cave.

As the button of the projector is turned, the movie screen is projected on the wall, and the cheerful melody of the orchestra begins to become low. After the percussion and drums are added, the engine of the sports car roars and the wind howls.

"Wow!!" Selena got out of the seat belt and stretched her upper body out of the convertible door. Bruce, who was driving, quickly pulled her back, and then sighed.

This is already his No. 30 sigh on this road. Selena put her arms on the car door and chewed bubble gum with her head up. She blew out a bubble and turned to Bruce and said, "To be honest, you put the mask on. When I took it off, I was really shocked, you are Wayne."

"I thought you'd already guessed it."

"I know you are rich, but I didn't expect you to be so rich." Selena put her fingers on her temples and said while chewing bubble gum: "But you said you want to take me to Hollywood and let me make movies, isn't that a little bit How absurd?"

Selena pretended to be relaxed and said: "I went to the cinema to watch the movie before. I think I look similar to the female stars in those shots, but..."

Her tone became a little hesitant again: "Well, I admit, I'm just a girl born in a slum, and I haven't seen any big scenes since I was born. If there are so many cameras facing me, I might tremble with fear .”

"I just want to find you something to do." Bruce turned the steering wheel, turned a corner, and said, "As long as you don't steal things, no one will question your status on the set, because I did the whole movie." Investing in..."

Selena first glanced at the rapidly receding scenery outside the car window, then looked at Bruce with wide eyes and said, "You are so kind to me."

Bruce's hand holding the steering wheel froze for a moment. Selena observed his reaction, leaned her body towards him deliberately, and said, "You are also nervous? This is really strange."

"Even if I haven't experienced the life of rich men like you, I also know that you should have many female companions. Do you also do this when you face them?"

Bruce turned his head away from Selena who posted it, slowed down and said, "Hollywood is here...look over there."

Following Bruce's line of sight, Selena saw a line of huge white letters appear on the green hillside in the distance - "HOLLYWOOD".

At this time, behind the letters, a round of sun is slowly sinking below the horizon, and the clouds in the sky are changing rapidly, sinking into the night, and coming to dawn again. When the morning light shines through the back of the letters, Peter beside the car Gwen next to him put on a blanket, pointed to the row of letters and said, "Look, we're here."

Gwen's smiling face was extraordinarily bright in the morning light, and Peter was almost stunned. Seeing Peter's sluggish expression, Gwen burst out laughing and said, "Do you know how red your face is?"

Peter twisted his head unnaturally, then rubbed his face with his hands, and then lifted the hair on his forehead with his hands, stared directly at the morning light, and looked at the few white letters on the hillside.

"I heard that this was originally a billboard erected by a real estate agent to promote his residence."

"But now, the copyright of this thing should belong to the city government of Los Angeles." Gwen stroked her long hair on the sideburns and said, "The reason why I want to travel to Hollywood is because I saw this advertisement in a movie when I was a child." At that time, I fantasized about changing it into my own name."

"You want to make your name so big and put it on the hillside?" Peter stared at Gwen with wide eyes, as if he didn't know her.

Gwen was out of breath laughing, and patted Peter on the shoulder with one hand, saying: "I was like this when I was a child, and my dad was very supportive of me. He made a few of the same white letters out of cardboard and put them on the I'm so happy on my windowsill, seriously, don't you want to?"

Gwen put one hand on Peter's shoulder, stretched out her five fingers with one hand, pointed to the billboard and said, "People will be able to see your name as soon as they drive through this driveway, and many people still see it." Will be like us, deliberately stop to take pictures..."

"Wait!" Peter turned back and said, "Speaking of parking... Is parking not allowed here???"

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a few uniformed traffic policemen coming from there to drive away the tourists who parked here. Gwen grabbed Peter and said, "Get in the car quickly! I don't want to pay a fine!"

The two hurriedly opened the car door and got in the car. Peter started the car and stepped on the accelerator. He heard the scream of the slow runner behind him being fined. The two looked at each other and laughed brightly.

The car looked very small on the long road. At the end of the sky, the light was covered by clouds and became dark. With a "snap", a ticket was stuck to the side of the convertible.

Bruce put one hand on the outside of the car door, holding a wad of dollars in his hand, and a cigarette in the other hand. Selena took the cigarette out of her mouth and leaned over to light Bruce's cigarette.

The traffic policeman squeezed the extra rich dollar in his hand, smiled at Bruce and said, "You can watch as long as you want, sir, I wish you a pleasant journey."

Bruce didn't even look at him, he just held the cigarette in one hand, looked directly at the smoke and the sunset in the sky, and said, "Now you can watch it for as long as you want."

Selena pushed open the car door, walked to the side of the road, stretched, and yawned again. Facing the evening light, she narrowed her eyes and said, "I really didn't expect that there would be such a day, I To be in the same place as the main characters in those movies..."

A coat was thrown out of the car and fell on Selena. She looked back at Bruce who was still sitting in the driver's seat and said, "You are good everywhere, especially if you have money..."

Selena turned around, put her arms on the door, leaned her upper body back into the car, and said, "But I always feel that the Bruce Wayne I read in the newspapers is not like this. They say you have a bunch of cronies and like Nonsense, still a prodigal son, all women fall in love with you..."

"But why do I think you can't let go at all, always nervous, and..." Selena opened the car door and sat in again, then stuck to Bruce, blowing into his ear with a smile and said: " ...and a little shy?"

Seeing Bruce's instantly stiff neck, Selena blinked and said, "You are such a mystery, I think you are more like a ball of yarn than a bat, my husband."

"Isn't that just right?" Bruce looked back at her, his blue eyes clearer than the West Coast sky when he looked like Selena.

"You just happen to be a cat, my lady."
