The entire restaurant fell silent in an instant, and even the cello player who was playing the cello forgot to look at the music score.

Everyone's eyes were focused on Marshall and Gu Ran.

It was new to everyone that such a high-end restaurant had violence! When the restaurant manager heard the slap, he immediately ran in from outside to intervene.

But when he saw clearly that the person who slapped him was Gu Ran, the restaurant manager immediately turned around and ran out.

That turning speed is faster than that of some professional players.

...It’s nothing, I just can’t afford to offend him!

At this moment, the young black woman sitting in front of Marshall covered her mouth and screamed.

"Who is it?" Marshall stood up angrily and clenched his fists wanting to fight back.

Gu Ran took the lead and hugged Marshall warmly, while holding Marshall's arms with both hands to prevent him from exerting any strength.

Then, Gu Ran greeted him realistically: "Haha! Donny! My good brother! I finally see you! We haven't seen each other for a long time, I didn't expect you to still be so lively!"

Marshall angrily pushed away Gu Ran's warm embrace, "What Donny! Who the hell is Donny! Can you look carefully before you say hello? I'm not Donny!"

Gu Ran looked at him seriously. "Donny, are you kidding me? Didn't you make an appointment with me to meet here? Wasn't this suit of yours my birthday present to you last year?"

Marshall angrily said, "I'm really not Donnie! You really got the wrong person! Take a good look!"

Gu Ran looked carefully again and again, "Oh, oh, oh, after a closer look, it's really not you. You are a little bit taller than Donny. I'm sorry, the light here is a little dim, and how can you be dressed exactly like Donny? It's weird, Donny and I clearly agreed to meet here, you are not Donny, then where is Donny?"

Marshall said angrily: "How should I know!"

Marshall wanted to fight back, but his arms were held by Gu Ran and he had no chance to do so.

Besides, he is a well-known director after all. If he really started fighting in the restaurant, it would not sound good if it were made public.

Moreover, during this period in 2010, he had not yet come out publicly.

He is here to have some fun today. If things get really bad, tomorrow's entertainment headlines will be really exciting.

Gu Ran seized upon Marshall's weakness and slapped him in the face!

Marshall could only swallow this huge loss.

"Forget it, forget it. I'll recognize you first before saying hello next time." Marshall thought he was unlucky and didn't want to get entangled with Gu Ran anymore.

Light~ A blue skill bubble fell from Marshall's feet! Ha! In addition to helping Annie vent her anger, this slap actually brought her some extra benefits!

Although this director has problems, his skills are still related to Hollywood and worth a try! If you can get skills that can help Annie, that would be awesome!

Gu Ran calmly focused his mind and swept: Director Skill: Dance Design +1.

This skill... is really fucking bad.

Gu Ran was suddenly disappointed.

Rob Marshall's specialty is indeed musicals. He started out as a director with stage plays and musicals.

But Hollywood has long passed the era of musicals, and skills like dance design are of no use to Gu Ran, let alone most directors.

This skill is not as useful as the director's communication skills.

Of course, even if he really got the director’s communication skills, Gu Ran would not pick it up.

The director's communication skills are useful for actresses who are just entering the industry and are still a little confused, but they are of little use to an already famous Hollywood star like Anne. Anne's acting skills don't have any major problems, and there is no room for improvement, so she doesn't need to be improved through the director's guidance.

Gu Ran didn't think any more and simply ignored the blue bubble under Marshall's feet.

——Don’t worry, there will be opportunities later.

Gu Ran sneered, shrugged, and said, "Okay, I made a mistake, but you look too much like Donnie, especially this suit. You are wearing the suit I bought for Donnie, no wonder I made a mistake. Really, Donnie? Donnie, where are you?"

Gu Ran walked away carelessly while shouting Donnie's name.

——After slapping Rob Marshall, he got away with it!

By the time Gu Ran returned to his seat in the corner, Annie was so excited that she could hardly control herself.

"Gu! You really scared me just now! You are so brave! You are so manly! You actually slapped Rob Marshall directly, and he didn't dare to fight back! That's Rob Marshall! Most Hollywood actors dare not breathe when they see him! God, Gu! You are so awesome!"

Annie was so excited that she seemed to be burning for Gu Ran.

...Don't praise me, Annie, really.

I'm actually just using an old plot from an online novel from twenty years ago.

Moreover, this is not the most exciting part of this plot, the second and third combos are the best! If any online novel author still writes such a plot now, once caught by the readers, the end result will definitely be castration and then buried alive.

But then again, I only slapped you once and you were so happy. If I hit you three times in a row, wouldn't you be so happy with my operation tonight?

Gu Ran laughed secretly in his heart.

Then I heard Annie still excitedly saying: "Gu, do you know? In these years in Hollywood, I have been looked down upon, suppressed and bullied. Every time I was treated unfairly, others always advised and comforted me. Later, even I began to suspect that there was something wrong with me. Even I began to comfort myself, but you didn't comfort me. You stood up and helped me vent my anger! Gu! You really... Except for my parents, no one in this world has ever been so good to me..."

As Anne spoke, her delicate shoulders began to shake slightly and tears rolled down her face.

Annie was so moved that she cried! Gu Ran immediately grabbed Annie's hand, "Annie, don't cry... I really don't know how to comfort people. All I can do is make you feel better."

Annie raised her head with tears in her eyes. "What... can it be better? But Gu, you helped me vent my anger, I already feel great! I really can't think of anything better."

"sure."

As Gu Ran spoke, he turned around and glanced in Marshall's direction.

At this time, Marshall negotiated with the restaurant manager who came late, cursing under his breath, and then changed his seat.

Marshall even took off his suit jacket, revealing his vest, for fear of being mistaken again.

...Haha, little guy, I can still recognize you even if you put on a vest!

Gu Ran immediately turned around and reached out to wipe away Annie's tears on her cheek, "Annie, watch out—"

Having said that, Gu Ran stood up and strode towards Marshall's back.

Annie was still immersed in the feeling of her heartbeat stalling when Gu Ran touched her cheek. The next second, she saw Gu Ran walk behind Marshall and slap him.

Anne's heart was suffocated!

This, this, this... Don't be too exciting! No!

Annie's "no" was stuck in her throat and she didn't dare to shout it out. Then she heard a "pop" and the whole restaurant became quiet again.

Everyone's eyes were once again fixed on Marshall and Gu Ran!

The restaurant manager turned around and walked out of the restaurant! Marshall was stunned!

After being confused for several seconds, Marshall stood up shakily.

Gu Ran hugged Marshall warmly, holding his arms with both hands, "Haha! Donny! My dear buddy! I finally found you! You don't know, there was a guy over there just now, wearing the suit I bought for you, I thought he was you, and I slapped him on the back of the head! Unexpectedly, you didn't wear a suit today, you were wearing a vest!"

Annie, who was just worried about Gu Ran's behavior, almost burst out laughing! How can it be done like this!

Gu Ran is so amazing! Smart and tough! Such a good man... is definitely a rare excellent man in the world! Annie, Annie, tonight, you have to hold him tightly! Annie's heart couldn't help but beat wildly for Gu Ran.

Marshall, who was slapped twice for "no reason", was about to collapse! "I am the guy in a suit you just hit! Look carefully! I am not Donny! I am not! Damn it, Donny!"

The whole restaurant was filled with Marshall's roar! Gu Ran blinked in surprise, "What? You are the one just now? No, weren't you sitting over there just now? You were wearing a suit just now! Why are you running here in a vest?"

Gu Ran's face was full of a realistic expression of "How can you blame me for this?"

Marshall was about to cry, "I moved here just to hide from you! I took off my suit just because I was afraid you would mistake me for someone else!"

Gu Ran waved his hand, "Okay, okay, don't get excited, don't get excited, this is a high-end restaurant, don't shout like that, it's so rude."

"Me? I yelled? I yelled! You slapped me twice and I didn't fight back, and you actually said I was rude?" Marshall was about to go crazy! Light~ A full blue bubble formed under Marshall's feet.

Here it comes!

Gu Ran immediately focused his mind and scanned: Director Skill: Montage Shot Editing +1.

this……

This is a post-production skill! You have to be a director first and shoot a movie before you can do post-production.

Without the early materials, the later technology is useless! This skill is also a useless skill.

It's even worse than the previous dance design skill.

Gu Ran looked disgusted and ignored the skill bubble.

Don't worry, there should be another chance.

Gu Ran walked away carelessly and returned to the corner.

Annie said excitedly, "Gu! You were so awesome just now! You slapped Marshall twice, and Marshall didn't dare to fight back! Thank you! Thank you, Gu, you helped me vent my anger again, and it felt even better than the first time! In just two minutes, you made me feel good twice! You are really, really, really awesome!"

...Huh?

Wait, there's something wrong with this!

What does "in just two minutes" mean?

Gu Ran cleared his throat, "Annie, do you want to have fun again?"

Annie said in disbelief: "No way? Gu, can you come again?"

...Goddess, please stop saying that!

Gu Ran said with a smile: "Yes, I think I'm OK..."

Annie took the initiative to grab Gu Ran's hand on the table and said softly, "Gu, thank you. I know you did this all to help me. I'm already very happy. I don't want you to get into trouble."

Being grabbed by Annie so actively, Gu Ran felt that his soul was about to float away. "Don't care about other things, just ask your heart, do you want to think about something more enjoyable?"

Anne's body trembled slightly, and then she answered subconsciously: "...I want to."

Gu Ran then gave Annie a charming smile, "If you want it, I can give it to you."

Anne's whole body began to tremble uncontrollably.

This sentence was said with great confidence and boldness! Annie felt that she was about to lose control of herself. She wanted to drag Gu Ran to the hotel right now...

But she tried hard to hold it back.

She didn't want Gu Ran to think she was a frivolous woman.

Gu Ran turned around and glanced in Marshall's direction.

Sure enough, just as he expected, after being hit by two "Iron Sand Palm" moves from him, Rob Marshall no longer had any mood to have dinner with his little lover.

They cursed at the restaurant manager, threw down a few pounds, and walked out of the restaurant angrily.

Gu Ran then asked Annie, "Have you finished eating?"

Annie nodded, "Yeah, I'm done."

"Well, let's go."

Gu Ran reached out and helped Annie up from her seat, while throwing down a tip.

Annie rushed before Gu Ran and said, "I'll pay for it today. This is my intention. You can't refuse me."

Gu Ran smiled and said, "Okay."

The meal cost more than 1,000 pounds in total.

For the already famous Hollywood star Anne Hathaway, this is just a drop in the bucket.

After checking out and leaving, I saw Marshall waiting for the valet to drive over not far away.

The opportunity has come again! Gu Ran immediately leaned close to Annie's ear and said, "Wait here, and I'll let you vent your anger again."

Annie quickly grabbed Gu Ran's arm, "Gu, that's enough, really."

...That's enough for you. I haven't had enough fun yet! Gu Ran squeezed Annie's hand and said, "Be obedient and stay here and watch me."

"Yeah..." Annie nodded obediently.

For Annie, Gu Ran's words had become a habitual command from her master. Not to mention asking her to wait here, even if Gu Ran asked her to rush over and slap Marshall, Annie would obey.

Gu Ran strode behind Marshall and swung his arms wide.

Bang! The sound of slapping echoed in the empty street.

Marshall was beaten so hard that he fell to his knees on the road!

Without waiting for Marshall to stand up and look back, Gu Ran hugged Marshall warmly, "Haha! Donny! So you are here! Let me tell you, I just met a guy in the fire station cafeteria, he looks exactly like you! But he was eating inside, and you were outside! I'm sure I didn't make a mistake this time!"

Marshall cried, "Brother...it's still me..."

Gu Ran took a step back realistically, exclaiming in an exaggerated manner, "What! It's you again! What's going on? What are you doing? Why do you always appear in front of me and deliberately make me admit my mistakes?"

“I, I, I…” Marshall wiped his tears, “It was you who chased me and slapped me, brother! I’m so unlucky today, wuwuwu! Please, let me go! I really, really, really am not Donny!”

At this time, the parking boy drove the car over, and Marshall almost crawled into his own car.

Light~ A filling blue bubble appears where Marshall just stood!

Marshall himself stepped on the accelerator and drove away as if he was running for his life.

His blue bubble remained where it was.

This is your last chance today.

Gu Ran secretly took a breath and concentrated his mind: Screenwriting skills: Hand-drawn storyboard script +1.

What the hell?

This skill!!! Screenwriting skill! Writing scripts! And writing storyboards directly by hand-drawing! Awesome! Gu Ran was suddenly delighted! This is a truly useful skill! This is also the most favorite and most commonly used scripting method by big directors! For example, the great director Cameron, the genius director Tim Burton, the suspense master Hitchcock, the science fiction master Nolan, the Chinese film director Tsui Hark, and the Wachowski brothers (sisters) who filmed "The Matrix", all drew storyboards by hand-drawing.

Tim Burton's Edward Scissorhands, Red Queen, Mad Hatter and other characters were all hand-drawn by him, and then the movie was filmed based on his hand-drawn drawings. Cameron is even more amazing. When filming "Titanic", not only did he hand-draw the storyboards, but he also drew the nude sketch of the heroine in the cabin himself! This skill is quite awesome! Of course, the most amazing script skill is not the hand-drawn storyboard script skill, but the visual script skill pioneered by "Sci-fi Daji·Cyber ​​Succubus" Guo Fan.

What is a visual script? It means that the main actors are gathered together to shoot for two months to make a 2.5-hour sample film. Then Guo Daji uses this 2.5-hour sample film as the script, and then asks the actors to perform it again more carefully, and the post-production team produces it more carefully...

It is said that there was no pay for the two months of filming the visual script.

……horrible.

Fortunately, Guo Daji hasn't started yet! Thinking of this, Gu Ran couldn't help but have an idea in his heart - while Guo Daji is still young, he should invest in him earlier.

Try to get him to Hollywood, suck the Hollywood investors to death, and take the opportunity to transform Hollywood, so that Hollywood can be transformed from the Hollywood of the United States to the Hollywood of the world! No rush! Such a big thing must be done step by step! First ensure the main business of football, and then slowly develop the Hollywood sideline business.

Anyway, with this skill of hand-drawn storyboards, you don’t have to rely on typing English scripts. You can directly recall the classic scenes from previous movies and then draw them casually. The characters, key lines, plot development, and camera scheduling of the entire movie will all be there!

When it comes to writing movie scripts, Gu Ran is definitely a novice. Even if he could write an English script, it would probably be hard to catch the eye of a big director. However, with this hand-drawing skill, things will be different!

After the director saw the hand-drawn draft, he just shot it according to the sketch! Haha! Finally I learned a useful Hollywood skill!

Moreover, this skill can definitely help Annie!

As long as a script that will be a box office hit in the future is drawn up and Anne is assigned to act in it, she will definitely be able to return to Hollywood with pride!

Annie must be in love with me! Gu Ran laughed in his heart while quickly concentrating his mind and put the Hollywood skill "Screenwriter Skill: Hand-drawn Storyboard Script +1" into his mind.

Suddenly, Gu Ran felt that there were many more cartoon-like structural images in his mind! Done!

Today's 10 pickups have all been used up, perfect! "Gu!" Annie ran over with concern, "Gu, are you okay? I saw you standing here alone, is your hand...hurting?"

Annie grabbed Gu Ran's hand without saying a word and stroked it gently.

Gu Ran tried hard to suppress the violent beating of his heart, "...It's okay, Annie. For you, even if my hand hurts, it's worth it."

Annie looked at Gu Ran gratefully, "Gu, I really don't know how to thank you. You are a good person."

...That's right, I'm a decent and good person.

Good people will always have good luck.

Gu Ran pinched Annie's slender little hand and responded with a smile: "It's nothing, Annie, as long as you are happy."

Annie said quickly: "By the way, Gu, I prepared a gift for you before, but now I feel that this gift is too light and is not enough to express my feelings for you."

Too light? Are you talking about weight? Gu Ran smiled and said, "Annie, as long as it's a gift from you, no matter what it is, even if it's as light as... stockings, I'll like it."

Annie chuckled and said in a coquettish voice, "What a shame! You gave me the stockings, so how can I give you the stockings in return? Actually, my gift to you is... No, no, I won't tell you now. Keep your expectations going."

I'm really looking forward to it after you hooked me up like this.

Gu Ran cleared his throat and said in a cold expression: "But first, it's getting late now, how about tonight...we stay in London first?"

Annie said shyly, "Ah? Okay, I'll listen to you."

Gu Ran was delighted, "Then let's just find a hotel?"

It's okay, but as long as Annie agrees, we can't just find a random hotel, at least it has to be the Ritz Hotel! We can't let the goddess down! Annie quickly shook her head and waved her hands, "No, no, no, we can't just find a random hotel... I, I'll have someone put the gift I prepared for you at the Ritz Hotel."

What the hell?

Aren't you thinking the same thing? It turns out you also had this planned, Annie!

Wait, the gift is at the Ritz? Why do I feel like you're trying to trick me into getting a room at the Ritz?

Annie, do you want to...can't you?

Isn't this pace too fast? Gu Ran suppressed his excitement and asked curiously, "What kind of gift is it? Why put it in a place like the Ritz Hotel?"

Anne said shyly, "You'll know when we get there."

"Well, let's go to the Ritz."

"Um."

Gu Ran habitually hugged Annie's soft waist and hips and hailed a taxi.
