Ladder · Outside ·
In the middle of the night, it was pitch black, and only the stairs beside the pier were faintly visible under the illumination of the street lamps. As the camera panned from top to bottom, a low voice-over came: "I'm still not sure whether I should have left that floating city at sea. I'm not only referring to my career, but maybe my friends, true friends, this life. Never again. Say goodbye to the bumpy waves, set foot on a stable land, and never hear the fairy music around your ears."
Max sat on the steps, holding the trumpet in his hand, stroking it lovingly, and using a piece of Wiping with red cloth. Next to him is a small box. He looked like he was in his 50s, slightly fat, wearing a top hat and a trench coat, looking depressed. His voiceover continues: "But, as he said: as long as you have a good story to tell and someone wants to hear it, you're not done. The problem is that no one believes
my story."
There are many people on the upper deck of the huge passenger ship. Some people were chatting, some were sitting on the rattan chairs on the deck, some were strolling back and forth, and some people were sketching with easels, a leisurely scene. With the Union Jack on the bow, Max's voiceover continues with a beautiful violin concerto:
"It always happens that someone looks up and sees her first. It's incomprehensible that there are thousands of passengers on board, all identities. Different, rich people, immigrants, weirdos, and our crew. But there will always be one person, neither more nor less, who sees her first. He may be eating at the dinner table, or he may be walking on the deck , may also be sorting his pants, he occasionally looked up at the sky, and at the sea, and saw her. Then he just stood there, froze for a while, and his heart beat faster." The
camera pans to the lower deck, the people here Obviously a lot more. It was crowded due to too many people. Most of them sat on the ground and looked very tired. Some people even fall asleep leaning on anything. Here is the deck of the lower class, most of them are ordinary people who are ready to go to the United States to seek their dreams. Among them was a young man, who was strolling, raised his head occasionally, and then stood there for a while. Accompanied by Max's voiceover: Every time, I swear, every time, he turned and turned towards us, shouted to the whole boat. The young man pointed ahead and shouted loudly, "America!"
The people on the boat looked in the direction of the young man's finger. When they saw the Statue of Liberty in the distance, the crowd was excited and cheered. Men took off their hats, and some lifted their young children over their heads. After a long sea journey, how can people who are longing for a new life or dreaming of making a fortune not be excited when they finally reach the United States they long for? The deck full of people cheered enthusiastically at the Statue of Liberty for a long time. Suddenly, as if someone was directing, all the people stopped cheering. They looked into the distance with fascination and held their breath. It turned out that they saw Manhattan, New York, which is full of high-rise buildings.
Max's voiceover begins again: "The first person to see America, there is one in every boat. It is neither a coincidence nor an illusion. That moment means something extraordinary to him. It will stay with him for the rest of his life. He left an indelible impression. He was a young man, and you could see the Statue of Liberty and America in his eyes if you just paid attention."
The first young man on the ship to see the Statue of Liberty looked at America in the distance with hope. His expression was so focused and fascinated, as if he was about to reach the other side of happiness.
Musical Instruments Nei
Nightmax came to the old musical instruments at this time. In the dim light, the musical instrument row can be seen full of various musical instruments, and his voiceover continues as he enters the store: "I have seen the Statue of Liberty many times, six years on board, every five years. Time. Travel between Europe and the United States. After living at sea for a long time, once you go ashore, you can't even urinate. The toilet is steady, but it is yourself who stumbles. It is not difficult to go ashore, but leaving the ocean..."
Max He was still wearing a hat on his head and a windbreaker on his body. Depressed. He looked at the room full of musical instruments, some hanging from ceiling racks, some in cabinets, and some larger ones on the ground. When Max approached the counter, he suddenly heard someone say, "I'm closing the door."
Seeing that there was no answer, the person inside said again, "Can I help?" As soon as he finished speaking, an old man came to the counter. The owner was wearing a sweater as it was cold.
Max's voiceover continued: "I got on the boat at 24 years old, and there is only one thing I am passionate about, and that is playing the trumpet."
Max had come to the counter and took out the trumpet he had carefully wiped from the box. He took another look, as if he had made up his mind, and handed it to the shopkeeper. Said, "I want to sell it." The
owner has gray, thinning hair and is well-dressed with a bow tie. He took the trumpet, looked at it carefully, and said, "It's a Kang brand. It's very good." Then he raised the trumpet, put it close to his ear, and played the trumpet's horn with his hand, and heard a crisp sound.
Max said, "This is a first-class wind instrument." The
shopkeeper seemed to see that Max was waiting for the money, and said, "I will pay at most £6 and ten shillings."
Max was not satisfied with the offer and said, "This trumpet is mine. Even a cheap life is worth at least £20,000." The
shopkeeper disagreed: "I think so too. You can find another buyer." He returned the trumpet to Max and ignored it. He lowered his head and said, "Please close the door when you go out."
Reluctantly, Max put the trumpet into the box, then closed the lid of the box and said, "Okay, you won." The
shopkeeper smiled, picked up the box, and put it on the cabinet behind him.
Max said sadly: "You bought a piece of music history." The
owner ignored him, took out the money from the small box with the money, handed it to Max, and said, "Listen to my advice, go back and have a good meal. "
Max took the money and put it in his trench coat pocket. He glanced at the trumpet that had been put on the cabinet with nostalgia again, and he understood that the trumpet no longer belonged to him after he received the money. He turned and walked towards the store door. After walking a few steps, he turned around and said to the shopkeeper, "Can I blow it for the last time?" The
shopkeeper had already begun to bow his head to settle accounts, and he said impatiently, "Young man, I don't have time to spare." He raised his head. , Seeing Max's pleading gaze, he couldn't bear it. He turned around and took the small box. Said, "Okay, cheer up."
With permission, Max quickly opened the box and took out the trumpet. He thought that the owner would not like his music, so he went to the window, turned his back to the owner, and played a soothing tune towards the window.
The shopkeeper at first settled the bill, ignoring Max's playing. Hearing the beginning, he raised his head in surprise, as if remembering something. He came to the right side of the counter, took out an old record, and put it on the record player on the counter.
Max continued to blow. There was a faint sound of music on the record player, but it was the piano, the same music that Max played. The shop owner said, "It's exactly the same, isn't it? What's the name of the music you played just now?"
Max stopped playing in surprise and came to the counter involuntarily. He replied, "There is no title, and few people have the pleasure of hearing it." The
owner said, "It's so wonderful, I've been guessing this morning, but I can't figure out who the pianist is."
Max obviously knew who the performer was. He said, "I'm sure you've never heard of it." The
owner asked suspiciously, "Who is it?"
Max said, "It's not an exaggeration to say that this person has never been in this world."
The shopkeeper said eagerly: "I don't like secrets. Tell me who played it."
Max said: "It's my secret." Memories
of Dock W. R.
Max: The Giant Passenger Ship from London to New York Docked. Thousands of people on the shore waved their arms to greet those who were about to disembark. The guests on the ship were also excitedly waving their handkerchiefs on the deck, signaling to the people on the shore, waiting to disembark. All the people were immersed in the joy of being reunited with their relatives and friends at their destination, and no one paid any attention to the situation inside the ship.
The Virginia Restaurant N. Day
was in the ship's dining room, and noises could be heard outside. People have all left, the large ballroom looks messy, the chairs are scattered all over the place, and the ground is full of small debris discarded by people. A shabby black man knelt on his knees looking for things people had thrown away to see if there was anything he could use. He's Danny, the mechanic on this ship.
Max's voice-over: "A black coal shoveler on the Virginia said: This is the first year of this unfortunate century."
Danny looked around and said to himself: "These rich guys, lost It's all cigarette butts and dirty handkerchiefs, so why not throw away something valuable. Not a single piece of old jewelry. Not even a fake ring. Yo, there's a whole cigar."
Danny put the cigar in his pocket, he Kneeling to the foot of the piano in the dining room, this is the end of the ballroom. Nothing good could be found anymore, and the Negro had to stand up. Just then, he noticed a beautiful basket on the piano. He looked around and saw no one.
He looked inside the basket again, and it was a newborn baby. "Who left you here," he asked suspiciously. He lifted the quilt over the baby and saw the words on the basket: TD Lemon.
He picked up the baby, and the feeling of pity and love came over him.
Danny, who had a short beard and looked to be in his forties , said happily, "Hello, Lemon Boy."
The ship was returning to London, and the workshop on the lower deck of the ship was like a big workshop, with the roar of machinery, and the workers charging coal for the huge boiler that drove the ship. These workers living at the bottom, while working, talk about the children who have just been abandoned.
"Wild species born to immigrants!"
"Yes, the way immigrants do is to give birth to children on boats, then throw them on board and let them be raised."
"What will this boy be when he grows up?"
"Will be another immigrant . ." The
coal shoveler held the crying baby in his arms, dissatisfied with people's comments, and said, "Ignore them, Lemon Boy." He held a "feeding bottle" transformed from an oiler, and awkwardly gave the baby breastfeeding.
The workers were still discussing: "Someone put him on the piano in the first-class cabin, expecting the rich to adopt him and enjoy the glory and wealth, but he was taken away by the coal shoveler. Danny, others are happy, you Come to the end."
Amid the unbridled chatter, Little Lemon Boy lay in his cradle and fell asleep peacefully. His cradle was placed on a rotating gear, and as the gear turned, it rocked back and forth.
Danny was in overalls, with a large rubber apron over it, and a sackcloth hat. There was a gantry crane in the workshop with hooks hanging down, one of which was exactly as high as Danny's head, and it swayed slightly to and fro next to Danny. He shouted to his companions: "His cradle has TD written on it, do you know what it means? By the way, I forgot that you are all illiterate, and it clearly says: Thank you, Danny." "The first letter is T, Danny's first letter is D) They are obviously adopted by me. It's superfluous to ignore you."
One of the workers shouted: "What are you going to name him? Danny was
stunned by this sentence. He paused, as if he had no idea: "I haven't thought about this. Just call me by my name. Add TD in the middle. The names of rich people are all abbreviated. Impressive."
A worker stuck his head between the pedals of the escalator and said, "The ghost lawyer's name is also abbreviated."
Danny, apparently having a prejudice against lawyers, said, "If he becomes a lawyer in the future, I will do it myself. kill him."
A buddy said, "You found him on Tuesday, so call him Tuesday." After that, the buddies laughed. Danny also grinned, but he seemed to have thought of something. With his hands on his stout waist, he raised his head and said loudly, "You reminded me that since I picked this kid on the first day of this unfortunate century, let's call him 1900."
Someone said, "But this It's a number."
Danny said, "It used to be a number, but now it's a name, and his name is Danny TD1900. 1900!"
Danny's voice echoed in the big computer room, in tune with the roar of the machine.
1900 started crying, and Danny ran to appease him, only to find that the child had pooped. Danny picked up the baby lovingly. Since then, the child named 1900 has lived on this passenger ship.
The voiceover reappeared as the little 1900 grew up: "That ship became the cradle of the 1900's growth, no documents, no birth certificate, and Danny was worried that he would be taken away, so the 1900's childhood had been spent on the Virginia. ." In the blink
of an
eye, Xiao 1900 had grown into five or six years old. He was lying on the window of the work room, looking out, there was an endless sea outside. The light and shadow of the sea are reflected in the cabin.
The ship's dormitory, Nai, the
ship's dormitory is messy and rudimentary. The workers' beds are placed against the wall, which are on the upper and lower floors. There are seven or eight beds, occupying most of the dormitory space. There are cabinets for workers to change clothes, as well as a few chairs, and a few lamps fixed on the top wall to give some light to the huge room. Some workers are changing clothes and preparing to rest. Some are already in bed. There is a two-meter square table in a space without a bed in the house. Little 1900 is lying on the table, and there is a newspaper on the table. Danny was sitting in the chair next to him, teaching 1900 to read. There was also a candle lit on the table because the light was not bright enough. 1900 learned obediently. Danny compliments 1900 from time to time. Danny's hair was grey and he looked a little old.
Danny asked 1900 to read the newspaper, and 1900 complied. When 1900 was over, Danny laughed. 1900 looked up, very innocent, and asked Danny why he laughed so much. Danny said, "These are the names of horses, aren't they funny?" It turned out to be a report about horse racing.
1900 went on to read: "This is Red Hot Mom." Danny laughed again. Over the years, the two have developed a deep father-son relationship.
1900 looked at Danny and asked with a serious look, "What do you mean by mom?"
1900's question made Danny stop laughing. He rolled his eyes and searched for a perfect fit without hurting. After explaining in 1900's heart, he paused and said: "Mom, she is a horse, the kind that competes in races. In fact, my mother is the best horse in the world, a purebred. Buying a mother is a win, and you are guaranteed." Dan The expression on Ni's face was very serious, and he couldn't tell that he was in 1900.
1900 did not pursue Danny's nonsense. He turned to another page of the newspaper and saw a painting on it. The title of the painting was "Lemon King TANODAMATO", and next to it was the abbreviation of Lemon King's name "TD".
1900 seemed to have found something, and said loudly, "Dad, TD doesn't mean to thank Danny. Look."
Danny looked at the people in the newspaper, and said, "What kind of bird man is this? Well, I've read enough today, there's no benefit in reading too much." With that, Danny slid 1900 up and walked to the bed.
1900 naively asked, "What else is not good?"
Danny said, "There is no good in anything outside Virginia. If you don't sleep, you will be taken by the orphanage."
1900 asked: "What is an orphanage?
Danny realized that he had missed the point, and wrote casually: "People who don't have children will be sent to orphanages." Danny
carried the 1900 to the cradle hanging on the hook, and lifted the 1900 high up. the top of the head, and then into the cradle. Danny did not expect that his words were deeply imprinted in 1900's mind.
sea · foreign · day
There was a strong wind at sea, and the hull of the Virginia was swayed by the huge waves.
In a blink
of an eye, 1900 was eight years old. During the day, the workers all went to work. There was only 1,900 people in the dormitory, and he was lying in the cradle. As he grew up day by day, the cradle was a little too small for him.
The wind and waves were high outside, and the ship shook violently. The 1900's cradle swayed back and forth as the hull swayed like a swing.
In the operation room of the ship's operating room, the Nai
-ri ship's operating room, workers are busy working. Some of them were charging boilers, and the hooks were swinging back and forth. One of the workers was turning the gears when he saw Danny go for a glass of water and shouted, "Danny, be careful." But his voice was drowned out by the loud roar of the machine. Danny, unaware of the impending danger, was picking up a glass of water to drink when the hook swinging behind him hit the back of his head. Danny fell to the ground immediately.
The workers quickly gathered at Danny's place, shouted Danny's name, and helped Danny, who was knocked down, to the ground.
USS Virginia Infirmary N.
Zedani was carried to the infirmary. The infirmary is pure white, with medical equipment on the walls and a hospital bed in the center. Danny was lying on the hospital bed, covered with a white blanket. He was still conscious, but couldn't move. 1900 was sitting by the bed, reading the newspaper to Danny, and he read it incoherently. Danny listened and laughed.
Max continued his story: "Danny struggled for three days before he died. The sixth game in Chicago is being broadcast on the radio." On
the deck of the Virginia
steamer, Danny's funeral at sea was underway. Dozens of crew members gathered on the deck to see Danny off. It was cold and people were wearing thick clothes. The pastor offered his last prayers for Danny. "Thank you Danny" was written in red on the white sheet wrapped around Danny. 1900 looked at Danny sadly, silently watching him being pushed into the sea.
At this time, from the upper deck of the ship, there was a faint sound of music, and 1900 looked up curiously. He asked the female worker next to him what it was. The female worker told him: "It's music." Hearing this wonderful voice at the moment of losing the only relative in the world left a deep impression on 1900's heart.
In the musical instrument shop, the night
instrument shop, the old clerk listened to Max's story, was deeply attracted, and was immersed in the atmosphere of the story. Max's story continues: "In that year, 1900, at the age of eight, he had traveled between Europe and the United States no less than 50 times. He used the sea as his home, and never set foot on land, not once. From the side of the ship, there were hundreds of land. The problem here is that there is no such person in the world. I searched cities, churches, hospitals, prisons, baseball teams... and I can't find his records. He has no nationality, not even a birthday, Alone. He was eight years old, but formally he was not born at all." The day Danny was buried at sea in 1900, the sound he heard on the
Virginia N.Y. night
made him unforgettable. Finally one day, he climbed the escalator from the bottom floor, where he had been staying for eight years, to the upper floor, to find the source of the music.
He came to the first-class floor, and as soon as he opened the door leading to the guest room, a magnificent scene appeared in front of him. The corridors of the first-class rooms are covered with red carpets, and the doors of each room are very elegant wooden doors. Occasionally someone moves around. They were nothing like the people you usually saw in the 1900s, they were all dressed in elegant evening gowns. 1900 Walked towards the end of the corridor. There is a hall, the hall and the corridor are separated by large translucent glass, and the music comes from there. 1900 couldn't help being driven by curiosity, and leaned on the glass and looked in.
The hall is brightly lit and very bright. Some people are sitting at the table drinking coffee and chatting, and some men and women dance to the cheerful music. In the depths of the hall, the band was playing, and there was a huge grand piano, and the musicians were playing a cheerful fast four. Such a scene was never seen in 1900, like a fairyland on earth. Especially the beautiful and beautiful music, a feeling of deja vu seems to come from a distant past life. 1900 has been listening and watching, and finally, his eyes are fixed on the piano, motionless.
USS Virginia Ballroom Inside Night
It was late at night, and the fun-loving first-class guests were tired and went back to sleep. In the ballroom, Little 1900 sat on the piano bench and played. Although his fingering is not very compliant, there is a soothing sound like flowing water under his fingers, which is suitable for listening in the quiet night.
The first-class guests left their boxes one after another and came to the ballroom to listen to 1900 playing the piano. Like 1900, they seemed to forget that it was late at night, and immersed in the music atmosphere he played together with 1900.
The captain was called out of his sleep, and he came to the ballroom, walked through the crowd, and looked at 1900 in astonishment. Sitting next to the huge piano is the small 1900, which looks so discordant. If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, it would be hard to imagine that he played the tune. It seemed that the captain was also moved by the music and could not bear to disturb the poor child. But as the captain, he walked slowly to 1900. For fear of hurting the child, he said softly, "1900, you are completely against the rules."
1900, who had clearly fallen in love with the piano, raised his dusty face and said firmly: "Fuck him. Damn it." The story of
Musical Instrument Store Nai
Nightmax made the shop owner laugh out loud. He asked, "But I still don't understand, what does he have to do with this record?"
Max said: "He didn't record a record, he only recorded a template, and it was destroyed after recording." The
owner handed Max a Very old stencil, the stencil was originally broken, but was glued with transparent tape.
Max took the template and looked familiar. He asked the shopkeeper, "How did you get it?" The
shopkeeper immediately took the template back and said, "It took me a whole day to glue the pieces together. I found it by accident in a piano. The piano is Bought it from a second-hand dealer. It belonged to an old ship that was being dismantled."
Max saw the piano and saw it was the one on the Virginia.
After listening to the shopkeeper's words, Dock Outside
Rimax knew that the huge ship he once stayed in was about to be dismantled. He came to the pier to see what happened.
The pier was a mess, and there were fires in places, presumably from scraps unloaded from the ship. Max came to the dock at the dock and found the Virginia passenger ship. The ship's exterior is rusted and stained, and its original color is basically invisible. From the outside, the ship was dilapidated, and the equipment was almost dismantled. Except that the size of the ship is the same as before, it is no longer visible to its original momentum and style. From the top of the ship is hanging down a huge chandelier, which is the ballroom on the ship. There is a gangway on the side of the ship, and workers are transporting boxes of explosives to the ship under the watchful eye of the guards.
Max was overwhelmed with emotion when he saw this. He remembered that many years ago, it was also at this pier, and it was the same ship, but the scene was very different... In
the past, the hull of the Virginia was dark blue, the sides and windows of the upper box were painted white, and the top of the ship was painted white. Several huge chimneys were emitting white smoke, a sign that the ship was about to set sail. The pier was full of people, and it was a busy and lively scene.
There was a hut on the pier, and dozens of people lined up outside the house, waiting to apply for a job as a crew member on the ship. Max is among them.
But when he told the recruiter that he could play the trumpet, the recruiter told him that there were already musicians on board and that it was no longer needed. Max couldn't help but put the trumpet box on the table, took out the trumpet and began to blow. He blew and blew out of the hut involuntarily. His music attracted people on the pier to stop and watch, and people were attracted by the cheerful and jumping music. The recruiter liked it too, making an exception to hire him.
Max's skill also caught the attention of a young man watching from the side of the boat, who applauded Max from a distance. He is 1900 who has grown into a handsome young man.
In this way, Max became a musician on the Virginia.
Virginia Nee
Max came to the Virginia as he wished, and he was overjoyed to be able to play his favorite trumpet on such a luxurious ship. When the Virginia departed, there were thousands of people on the dock seeing off relatives and friends. It was so lively that it was like a party for him, which made him excited. But within a few days, the giant ship made him suffer.
After the ship had sailed for a few days, a storm broke out at sea, and the wind and waves caused the ship to sway violently. Max began to get seasick. He couldn't lie down or sit. He wanted to walk back and forth, but he couldn't stand still on the rocking boat. He rolled and crawled out of his rest cabin, and before he reached the bathroom, he couldn't help lying on the porcelain spittoon outside the ballroom and vomited.
At this time, 1900 came to him and asked with concern: "What's the matter? Are you seasick? You are the newcomer who plays Kang trumpet. Come with me, I have a way to cure your illness."
Max looked up . Looking at the 1900, it was strange that he saw the chandelier on the boat swinging back and forth, while the 1900 could stand firmly. She was suffering from seasickness and was disheveled, and 1900 wore a black evening gown as if she was going to a show.
1900 could not help but walk towards the ballroom. Skeptical, Max followed the 1900. The 1900 walked steadily ahead. Max couldn't grasp the balance at all, and followed the dance hall swaying from side to side.
The luxurious ballroom of the steamship ballroom
is empty, and the tables and chairs for passengers to rest have also been moved to the orchestra pit and fixed, leaving a large space, and the huge circular pattern in the center of the ground is clearly visible. Only the ceiling chandeliers swing back and forth in the huge ballroom.
1900 went straight to the piano and sat on the bench. Max stumbled and followed, his hands on the piano.
1900 said, "Turn on the brake on the piano."
Max said, "You're crazy."
1900 said, "It's okay, just turn it on."
Max had to open the brake on the piano's legs. As soon as he put the brakes on, the 1900 started to play. He said to Max, "Sit next to me."
Max hesitated. 1900 said, "Come on, you won't be able to sit in a while."
Sure enough, the piano led 1900 to slide on the floor, and in a blink of an eye, he reached the center of the ballroom. Max staggered to keep up, and sat down beside 1900.
Max held the guitar tightly with both hands to prevent himself from being thrown out. 1900 looked at the revolving ceiling and calmly played a beautiful waltz. The piano spun and slid on the smooth floor, like dancing a beautiful waltz to the accompaniment of the music.
1900 chatted with Max while playing. He asked, "Do you have any children?"
Max replied, "No."
1900 said, "Then you will go to the orphanage sooner or later." During the
conversation, the chandelier on the ceiling loosened and suddenly fell, and it was about to fall. Both of them. Max shouted in fear: "My mother!" The
chandelier did not fall, but stopped in mid-air. Hearing Max call "Mama," 1900 said, "It seems you're a horse guy." The information from Danny was still in 1900's mind.
Max still didn't know the meaning of words 1900, and only said: "I understand a little bit." The
two of them spun and slid in the sound of the music. Gradually, Max really felt less uncomfortable. And you don't have to hold the piano so nervously. When the piano slid to the bar, he also took a bottle of wine, took a sip, and put the bottle back when the piano slid to the bar again.
Max was so engrossed in dance music and spins that seasickness seemed to be completely gone.
Max's eyes widened in astonishment as the piano unknowingly slipped to the translucent glass wall that led to the hallway of the box. 1900 made no attempt to stop playing or try to stop the piano, but let the piano slam into the glass wall. The piano led the two of them out of the glass wall and led directly to the corridor. They then slid down the hallway, charging all the way to the other end of the hallway. At the other end of the corridor is the captain's lounge. The piano rushed over, knocked the entire door open, and finally got stuck there.
The captain wearing a life jacket was startled by the huge shock. He looked at 1900 and Max, angry, but he didn't know what to say. 1900 jokingly said: "Hello, Captain, are you sitting on the down organ?"
Virginia Boiler Room Nei Day
In the center of the boiler room, there is a pile of coal, and the fire in the hearth is booming. In 1900, Max and Max were punished by the captain to go to the boiler room to fill the boiler with coal. Although the two were punished, they were very happy. Their faces were covered with so much coal dust that they could not see their true colors, and their white shirts were dirty. They were joking as they filled the boiler with coal.
Tired of the work, the two threw the shovel into the hearth and chatted while lying on the coal pile.
1900 asked, "Kangpai, are you from New Orleans?"
Max said, "How did you know that?"
1900 said, "I like that city. I lived there for a while. The winters there are beautiful. Three There is always one afternoon in the month when the thick fog suddenly hits, like layers of gauze curtains hanging on the streetlights; also like a knife, cutting everything in two. It’s amazing! The buildings can’t see the roof, the trees can’t be seen The branches are gone, the spire of St. Louis Church is gone, and the passers-by around are also missing their heads. In short, all the parts above the neck are gone. The headless orphans in Jackson Church Square stumbled and greeted each other when they hit each other. "
Exactly," said Max. "It's a pity that the fog cleared up soon. But how do you know so well?"
1900 shrugged and didn't answer.
Max said: "You know, since I got on board, I've often heard about people who were born on this ship and never got off. I think it's a fantasy. Never set foot on land in 20 years."
1900 Corrected: "It's 27 years."
Max continued: "I heard that this person is a master of music, unique."
1900 said: "I heard that too."
Max said: "At first, I thought that person was you. But And it doesn't make sense. Because if you're 1900, how can you be so clear about New Orleans. Obviously, you've been to New Orleans."
1900 smiled imperceptibly and said, "If I say I've never been to New Orleans, Do you believe it?"
Max had to go straight: "May I ask your name, my name is Max."
They shook hands and became good friends.
Dock Cottage · Ne · Day
Watching the Virginia about to be bombed, Max returns to reality from his memories. He came to the hut where he applied for the job and went to find the person in charge of the pier.
In the hut, Max said to the person in charge who was sitting there: "Don't blow up the boat, my best friend is in it, and if you want to blow it up, it would be a murder.
" "
Max: "I didn't lie to you, and I'm not crazy. There are indeed people on the Virginia." The
person in charge: "The things on the broken ship have been removed, only the explosives. Are you sure there are people on board? Take out the evidence, Because I'm going to blow up that ship myself."
Max: "I'm sure he's on that ship. I spent my golden years on that ship."
Max's thoughts returned to the past.
Virginia Ballroom N.N. Night
A grand ball is being held in the first-class ballroom aboard the Virginian. In the luxurious and bright ballroom, Max and musicians accompany the guests in the orchestra pit, and 1900 plays the piano. The guests enjoyed themselves in their evening gowns, some sitting at tables and some dancing. Waiters are busy serving customers.
In the beginning, the dance music was a fast-paced four-step dance. After a while, 1900 played a jazz-like tune with a more fancy rhythm on its own, pushing the atmosphere of the party to a climax.
The lower class lounge · Nei · Night
1900 also plays for the tourists in the lower class. Here, there is no such luxurious ballroom, and guests can only gather in the lounge to listen to the 1900 play. The pianos here are also of the ordinary household type, but the 1900 is still so invested. He played the piano in his hand, stared straight ahead, immersed in his emotions.
Max looked at 1900 next to him and asked curiously, "What are you thinking about when you play the piano?
" It 's all bright."
Max's voice-over: "He's wandering the earth, everywhere. Central London, the middle of England, volcanic craters, counting pillars in the world's largest church, looking at statues. He's wandering the earth."
The lounge of the
lower class cabin, the inner and the lower class cabin, the air is polluted due to the large number of people. 1900 At the request of the guests, they played cheerful dance music. The 1900's hands twitched rapidly across the keyboard, as if there were four or five hands playing on the keys. Hundreds of people danced to the music. They enjoyed this rare joy to the fullest.
Suddenly, an excited voice came from the deck: "America!" All the people in the lounge immediately stopped their carnival and swarmed out. Immediately, only 1900 and his piano were left in the house, looking so lonely.
The Virginia Deck Off Day The
Virginia set sail again. It was winter, and the deck was covered in a thick layer of snow, and everything was white. Everyone on the deck was wearing thick coats chatting and walking leisurely.
The Max and 1900 are also on deck by the railing that is set aside. Max asked 1900 curiously: "Why didn't you go ashore? Last time, okay? See this colorful world with your own eyes."
Seeing that 1900 did not answer, Max continued to persuade: "Don't want to see it? On the shore, you will be happy. You'll be famous, you'll make a fortune. You can live in a mansion, get married. Why don't you go ashore? Can you swing on a boat for the rest of your life? . Go down the stairs, the future is waiting for you. Just last time. Why not get off the boat?"
1900 may have heard this question countless times, he looked at Max, unmoved, he replied: "Why, why People on land like to find out the bottom line and waste a lot of time. Winter worries that summer will come late, and summer worries that winter will come. So you keep walking around, chasing an unreachable place where the four seasons are like summer. For this , I'm not envious."
Virginia N. de
Marquez finally persuaded the person in charge of the bombing to stop the workers temporarily. He boarded the ship to find 1900.
Arriving on the boat, Max saw the dance hall, lounge, etc. that he was familiar with, and his thoughts returned to the past. On the wall of the bedroom in 1900, there are some photos of him growing up, recording his experience growing up on the ship...
Virginia.
It was late at night, people had gone back to sleep, and 1900 was still playing the piano in the lounge of the lower class cabin. The song is soothing and lyrical.
At this time, a person from 50 away walked in. He was wearing an English top hat and a very casual trench coat, and at a glance he knew that he was a poor commoner. He came to 1900 and greeted him with "You play well". He sat down and lit a cigarette. In 1900, he didn't stop playing the piano. He looked at the person who came and asked, "Is it because you went to the United States that you are frowning
?"
I only know how to farm. That little farmland is my world. I have never been out of the city. You won't understand."
1900 said while playing: "I understand very well. A friend of mine had a similar experience. ." The
visitor said: "Did your friend's field suddenly dry up? Did his wife run away with the priest? Did the epidemic also take away his five children?"
1900: "No, he is alone. "The
person who came: "Then he is luckier than me. I also have a daughter, the youngest one, who escaped this disaster. For her, I decided to give it a shot. I walked around aimlessly. One day, I Going to a place I've never been before, on the hillside, and looking out into the distance, I saw the most magnificent sight I've ever seen in my life - the sea. I've never seen the sea before and I felt like an electric shock Same. I heard the voice of the sea, and it seemed to be calling me, calling me powerfully, over and over again, saying to me: Fool, life is great. 'Great'? The word I never thought of. So I made up my mind to change my life, and I decided to start all over again." The
Virginian-Day
Virginia was a mess, everything that was useful had been removed, and boxes of explosives lay around. Max and a few people walked back and forth inside the boat, shouting 1900, hoping he would come out. They came to the once splendid ballroom, and now it has lost its former style. The ground is full of discarded waste paper and other objects, and Max's shout of "1900" echoed. The scene of the past is vivid in my mind.
USS Virginia Ballroom Inside Night
Still in the ballroom aboard the Virginia, another onboard ball is about to begin. Passengers dressed in gorgeous evening dresses waited for the dance to begin.
The conductor of the band introduced the musicians of the band one by one, and finally he introduced 1900 grandly, and then he directed the band to play cheerful dance music. The band just played a section according to the score, and in 1900, the old trick was repeated and improvised. The other musicians stopped playing naturally and accustomed to it.
Max came to 1900 and asked, "Where did your musical inspiration come from?"
1900: "I don't know either. For example, did you see that woman?"
Following 1900's gaze, Max looked A chubby middle-aged woman wearing a mink hat, her eyes gleaming cold and fierce, was accompanied by a handsome young gentleman beside her.
Looking at her, 1900 popped up an unpredictable mood. He said: "She seems to have murdered her husband with her young lover, and then eloped with the family's jewelry. Does this music match her?"
Max showed an incredible expression : "It's perfect."
1900's eyes turned to a young man, and the man's eyes showed a melancholy look. Music also changed the mood. 1900 said, "Have you seen that man? He can't forget the past. Uncontrollable past events come to his mind. This music is for him."
Max nodded in agreement.
Before you know it, the music changes to slutty tango. 1900 has already begun to watch a young woman who is dancing. He said: "That woman looks like a prostitute who sees through the world."
Max sighed: "It's unbelievable."
A thin young man with an unnatural behavior entered 1900's line of sight. The suit on his body didn't seem to fit well. He organizes from time to time, his eyes wandering, as if looking for something. The music of the 1900s also became mysterious.
1900: "Have you seen that man? That suit, he was wearing an unnatural suit, I believe it was stolen. He may have been a third-class passenger, he was a first-class passenger, and he came to look for luck. I could see from his eyes. See, he'll be the first to discover the Statue of Liberty."
The magic is that several different styles of music are popped out by the 1900's hands, and the transition in the middle does not leave any traces, which is extremely smooth and natural.
The words of 1900 were quickly verified, and that person was indeed the first person on this ship to see the Statue of Liberty and shout "America".
The Virginia N.N.N.
Virginia arrived in New York Harbor, the passengers disembarked, and the crew left the ship for their own fun. The whole ship was empty. 1900 was bored, sneaked into the telephone room, and dialed a random number in the telephone directory. Naturally, on the phone, he was scolded.
Suddenly, two black people broke in. 1900 thought it was the police, and scared him to run everywhere. The last two blacks found 1900 in the freezer where food was stored.
One of the blacks said to 1900, who was huddled in fright, "I heard that you can combine 10 different styles
.
" You'd better count, the jazz masters are looking for you."
1900 puzzled: "What are you looking for?"
Negro: "A competition for you to play the piano." The
Virginia Ballroom Nai Night
Virginia set sail from New York. The evening dance was held as usual. 1900 was the usual piano accompaniment to the dance. Today, he looks dashing in a white suit and black bow tie. If anything was different today, it was an uninvited guest on board, Jerry, the black-American jazz master. He made a special trip to the Virginia to find the 1900 to compete on the piano.
The lively dance came to an abrupt end because of Jerry's arrival. Everyone watched as Jerry stepped into the ballroom in awe. He is a black man in his 30s, with a burly body and short hair, wearing a white suit, black trousers, and a black bow tie, with a conceited look on his face. He walked into the ballroom with a cigar in his hand and his eyes fixed on 1900. He walked to the bar, picked up a glass of beer just poured by the waiter, drank it, and then slammed the glass upside down on the bar. It looks like an unusual piano battle is about to begin.
He came to 1900 and said to him, "I believe you took my place."
1900 stood up, dressed in the same attire as Jerry, but clearly a size smaller than Jerry. He said humbly, "You're the one who invented jazz?"
Jerry said conceitedly, "It's well known. And are you the one who can't play the piano without facing the sea?"
His words didn't anger 1900, 1900 said frankly: "This is well known."
After speaking, 1900 stretched out his right hand and wanted to shake hands with Jerry as a friendly gesture. But instead of reaching for 1900, Jerry's raised hand lit the cigar in his hand.
1900 saw that Jerry's front teeth were inlaid with gold, and took a closer look with curiosity, showing a puzzled smile. He silently left his seat and gave the piano to Jerry.
Jerry put the freshly lit cigarette to the side of the piano, and instead of snuffing it out, he turned the burning end out. After he took his seat, he played a piece of jazz.
Max's voiceover commented on Jerry: "Jerry's hands are as dexterous as butterflies, his hands are not playing on the keys, but caressing, and the notes are like a silk scarf sliding over a young woman. He made his fortune in the red light district of New Orleans. In his early years, he was performing in brothels, with men and women upstairs. There, music was an aphrodisiac, rippling between the beds. He played that kind of music. In that field, he really was The best."
Jerry's performance resonated with the guests present, especially the conductor of the band, who was excited by his music. While 1900 was more concerned about his piano, he was worried that Jerry's smoke would burn the piano. However, Jerry's playing just stopped just as the smoke was about to reach the piano.
The guests applauded Jerry's performance. To the loud applause of the guests, Jerry arrogantly picked up the cigarette and held it above his head. He came to 1900 and said, "It's your turn."
1900 doesn't seem to want to play the piano at this time, and his emotions are not yet in a state. He walked slowly to the piano and took a seat. Max gestured to him to cheer. He thought about it for a while, and finally started playing, but the tune he played was unexpected. It turned out to be an inappropriate Christmas song "Silent Night" that didn't require much skill. People couldn't help but talk. 1900 apparently ignored people's comments. He didn't seem to regard it as a contest, but immersed himself in the situation of his own music.
At the end of the song, the guests politely applauded. Apparently his music is not on the same level as Jerry's. Max was frustrated and didn't understand why 1900 wasn't playing at his normal level.
After listening to 1900's first song, Jerry believed that 1900 was comparing himself with himself. He walked quickly to the piano and played a deeper tune. He is indeed a top player, and his music touched everyone present. 1900 was also moved to tears by the music. But Max wasn't in the mood to listen to Jerry's music. He came behind 1900 and said to him: "What's the matter with you?"
1900 was so excited: "It was so touching, I couldn't help crying."
Max: "The crew members bought you all to win. I pressed the whole year. Don't cry, okay, just concentrate on playing the piano?"
1900 asked in confusion, "Am I also pressured?"
Max said loudly, "No. If you buy yourself a win, you won't be able to play well."
1900: "I think Buy him to win, he is a top player."
Max said helplessly: "You are crazy."
1900: "In this case, you can make money even if you lose."
Max really had nothing to say. 1900 was probably hopeless. He was completely immersed in the atmosphere created by Jerry's performance, and he did not regard Jerry as an opponent to challenge him at all.
Jerry finished playing another piece of music, which drew an even warmer applause from the audience. Jerry greeted everyone conceitedly, then stepped aside and waited for 1900 to play.
1900 Sit down at the piano. Unexpectedly, he played the tune that Jerry had just played. Obviously, he has not recovered from the atmosphere of that piece of music, and still wants to continue to revel in the music.
Since it is a piece of music that has just been listened to, everyone is not interested in playing 1900. Although this kind of accurate imitation is also very difficult, it is after all picking up people's teeth. Some even yawned. Max lay down in frustration on the sofa against the wall. He thinks 1900 is lost today.
After the 1900 was played according to the script, the guests even stingy applause.
1900's unusual performance made Jerry feel like an insult to himself. He sat down on the piano bench and began to play the third tune. This time he played with a complex technique and a fast rhythm that he felt could not be imitated. 1900 listened, and finally felt uneasy in my heart. When Jerry finished playing, he turned around and asked Max for a cigarette.
Max disapproved, he said: "You don't smoke. You can beat him with one hand. Show your real skills."
1900 took the cigarette that Max threw, raised his head to show everyone, and then walked towards the piano go. The audience booed. 1900 ignored this and placed the cigarette carefully on the piano. He glanced back at Jerry and said, "You bastard, this is what you asked for."
Jerry was scolded for a while, and he was stunned for a while. He didn't react, and the 1900 playing had already started. This time, 1900 played a very difficult song, which attracted everyone from the beginning. His hands were flying over the keys extremely fast, too fast, as if not one but several hands were playing. Such a difficult skill stunned everyone present. Max showed a relieved smile. An old woman's fake headgear was scraped off the tray from which the waiter served drinks, and both were so attracted to the 1900's performance that neither of them noticed. Jerry's hand on the glass loosened, the glass fell to the ground, his hand was trying to keep up with the 1900's playing, and it was obvious from his expression that he couldn't get to that level at all. The 1900's music was too difficult, and he was sweating profusely after finishing one piece. The audience couldn't believe that one person's hands could play such a tune, they were completely shocked and even forgot to applaud.
With a sigh of relief, 1900 picked up the cigarette on the piano and reached for the strings. The cigarette was actually lit. He held up a lit cigarette, came to Jerry, and said to him, "You smoke, I don't smoke." With that, he put the cigarette in Jerry's mouth.
The audience came back to their senses at this time, and gave warm applause to the performance of 1900. He was lifted up by the ecstatic audience, cheering him on, and he was the best piano player in the world.
Jerry was left out in the cold, he looked at the 1900 being held up high by the people, and walked away in despair.
Outboard The Dusk
Virginia is docked at the Houston pier, and passengers arriving at their destination are disembarking on the steps outside the hull. 1900 watched Jerry down the stairs.
Max's voice-over: "Jerry stayed in the room and didn't take a single step out. The ship docked in Houston and he went back to America. I remember watching him disembark in 1900 and just saying: fuck jazz."
Virginia On the USS
Virginia, which was about to be bombed on the day, Max took people on the ship to find it for a long time, but still did not see the shadow of 1900. The head of the terminal thought Max's story was interesting, but he didn't believe it was true.
Max argued: "This is not a story, this is true." The
person in charge said: "But there is no one on board."
Max said: "Because there were too many people, he was frightened." The
person in charge couldn't help but say: "You want to If you don't disembark, I will arrest you. Tomorrow noon, this ship will become history." It
was late at
night in the musical instrument shop, and Max quietly came to the musical instrument shop, looking for something. He was digging through records when the shopkeeper came with a gun. He put the gun to Max's head and said, "Don't move, or you'll shoot."
Max said, "Don't be afraid, it's me." Then he raised his head slightly.
The shop owner recognized Max and said in surprise: "It's you again? You sell with your left hand and steal with your right, what a despicable method! I have long seen that you are slyly arrogant."
Max differentiated and said, "No, it's not. I'm looking for this. ."
With that, he took out the record.
The owner said, "Why are you looking for it?"
Max explained: "It's a matter of life and death, and I need a record player."
The shopkeeper's gun was still pointed at Max. He didn't believe Max's words: "You are stealing and cheating."
Because of his anxiety, Max's speech speed increased: "Old man, I don't have much time." The
shopkeeper said: "I have time . , I still have a gun in my hand. Strange to say, no one makes records on a boat. If your friend has made records, he must have gone ashore, right?"
Max said, "He will never go ashore. This one The music I personally think is his top work, but he doesn't have to get off the boat." The
Virginia on the nai day
is Max's memory again. In the lounge of the Virginia, several sound engineers set up recording equipment. The recording engineer said to 1900, "Mr. 1900, you will have a bright future. This record will become popular very quickly. You will become famous.
" He said to himself, "Recording, will it hurt?" The
sound engineer's equipment was installed, and the template was placed on the record player. With the sound of "one, two, three" from the sound engineer, 1900 began to play. At first, it was obvious that he was not in a state, and was playing slowly and aimlessly.
At this time there was a girl on the deck. She seemed to hear the sound of the piano and walked towards the lounge, looking in through the window.
1900 bounced and found the girl who was looking in. He was immediately attracted to this beautiful and pure girl. He stared at her intently, and the music under him could not help but turn into a tender melody. The girl appeared to be a passenger from the lower class. She was dressed plainly, and her blond hair was blown by the sea breeze and slipped to her forehead from time to time. She looked a little tired from the long journey. But the look in her eyes, the way she looked, had swooned 1900.
The girl didn't seem to hear the piano sound clearly, so she turned around and walked around. But stopped outside another window. She looked at the sea with a longing look.
1900's eyes were on the girl. The pure and soft melody flows out from the hands and the heart. Finally, the girl moved her footsteps again and left the sight of 1900. The 1900's song is also completed.
The sound engineer saw that the music had stopped. Take the lead in applauding. He exclaimed: "It's amazing, it's absolutely wonderful. What's this song called? It's a tear-jerking song. The name must be memorable." With that, the sound engineer racked his brains to think of his song's title.
1900 sat there dumbfounded, not listening to the sound engineer. He was still thinking about the girl he just saw.
Max came to 1900 and said to him, "As good as you always play. You'll be famous. Just take that big step."
1900 looked up and asked Max, "What big step?"
Max patiently He persuaded: "Step over that board and go ashore. Go after your fame and fortune." The
sound engineer turned around and said, "Allow me to interrupt. After you finish this record, you can get whatever you want. What you want. You don't have to leave the boat even a single step." After the
sound engineer finished, he played the record just finished in 1900 on the record player.
1900 was a little overwhelmed when he heard the music he just played. He obviously didn't understand what recording was about.
The sound engineer was still gushing: "We're going to record a million copies. People all over the world will appreciate your wonderful music."
1900 had found the source of the music, and he stared at the speakers of the record player and said firmly: "My music and I are inseparable." After saying that, he rushed up and took off the template despite the sound engineer's obstruction.
The recording engineer said, "Do you know that we have a contract, and you can't go back."
1900 couldn't help but said, holding the template, and said, "I will never go back."
After speaking, 1900 didn't look back. left the lounge.
The Virginia deck outside day
1900 came to the deck to find the girl. In the distance, he saw the girl standing alone by the railing of the boat, looking out at the sea. 1900 just stood and stared at her. Finally, the girl walked in his direction, probably preparing to go back to the cabin. 1900 greeted him and was about to talk to the girl. He thought the girl would recognize him. But the girl lowered her head and walked past 1900. 1900 hesitated.
The Virginia N.J.
1900 was looking in the mirror in her room, practicing over and over again the first words she was about to say to the girl. He was going to give the girl the template of the music he played for the girl. Maybe it's because he has too little contact with the outside world, or because of "the beginning of love", he seems very nervous and considers his words. It was raining heavily at sea
on the deck outside of the Virginia .
In 1900, he finally found the opportunity to talk to the girl. He found that the girl was alone with an umbrella, standing by the railing and looking at the sea. There was no one on deck because of the rain. 1900 gathered up his courage and walked to the railing, but he still kept a few meters away from the girl.
The girl noticed that 1900, 1900 did not use any tools to keep out the rain, and she quickly got wet. 1900 stroked the template in his hand, and the oil paper wrapped around the template was soaked by the rain. He finally made up his mind and was about to open his mouth to give the girl his own gift. Suddenly, several people ran over, they were looking for the girl.
One of them said, "What are you doing here alone, counting the waves?" The
girl replied, "The captain said the ship will pass the Tropic of Cancer soon. At least some of you will see it." Another
person said: "The color of the sea often changes. , it will change into ten colors in one day." The girl
said, "There are more than ten colors. I can look at the sea all day." The
visitor said, "The peasants don't look at the sea.
No. Once, my father told me that he heard the voice of the sea." The
person asked: "Really? What did the sea say?" The
girl said, "I can't tell you, it's a secret. The secret is It cannot be made public." The
girl's words about the sea reminded 1900 of a man, the English peasant who once chatted with him.
The girl's traveling companions persuaded her to return to the cabin, and the girl looked at the strange 1900 and left with them.
1900 rubbed the template in his hand and was very sad to miss the opportunity to approach the girl.
USS Virginia Lounge · Inside · Night
It was late at night, and all the passengers went back to the cabin to sleep. In the lounge of the lower class cabin, 1900 sat alone by the piano. Maybe he finished playing for the passengers again, but he still didn't find a chance to get close to the girl. Tomorrow, the Virginia will arrive in New York Harbor, and there may never be another chance to show her heart to the girl. Thinking of the beloved girl, 1900 was a little depressed.
The third-class female cabin of the Virginia No.
1900 finally couldn't control her feelings and came to the third-class female cabin. He wants to take another look at the girl he likes.
The third-class cabin has a lot of space. There are rows of beds. There are three layers of beds in each row. The passage between the two rows of beds is very narrow. Some people still hang clothes in the only space.
The passengers in the cabin were all asleep. 1900 walked between the beds, looking for the girl. He searched one by one, and finally found the girl.
She was in a middle bunk, already asleep. 1900 stood in front of the girl's bed and stared at her for a long time. Looking at her beautiful face, thinking that I might never see her again, I couldn't help leaning down and kissing the girl's lips lightly.
The girl woke up. 1900 quickly hid.
The girl sat up, looked left and right, found nothing, and went back to sleep.
In this environment, 1900, who was hiding on the side, still did not have the courage to express his feelings to the girl.
The Virginia Foreign Day
Virginia finally arrived in New York Harbor, with passengers huddled on deck, lining up for immigration. The girl is among them.
Standing on the upper deck, 1900 spotted her and hurried over. He ignored the crowd around him and stopped the girl. The girl looked back and felt that 1900 was a bit strange.
1900 said, "Miss, I have something to tell you. You are looking for your father, aren't you?" The
girl was very strange and replied, "Yes. How did you know that?"
1900 said, "I have seen him. It was on this ship, a few years ago." The
girl said, "I don't think it was necessarily this ship."
1900 said, "I'm sure it's this ship. He has a French bagpipe, doesn't he?"
Hearing this, the girl couldn't help but believe it. 1900 went on to say, "We played music together. He doesn't necessarily remember me, but greet him for me." The
girl said, "I will. It's strange how you know who I am."
1900 said: " This is a secret, and the secret cannot be disclosed. But your father was willing to reveal it back then." The
girl lowered her head and thought for a while, she thought 1900 was not malicious. She came over and kissed 1900's face lightly, even as a farewell. But 1900 was a little dizzy by the light kiss, and for a moment he forgot what he wanted to say. The girl was crowded to the front, getting further and further away from 1900. 1900 remembered what to say, he held up the template of the song dedicated to the girl, and said, "Please accept this small gift." His voice was a little shy.
Due to the loud voice, the girl did not hear him.
1900 was a little helpless, he repeated what he just said, but the girl still didn't hear it.
1900 was in a hurry, and had no choice but to say: "I wish you good luck."
The girl heard this, and she said loudly: "Thank you, I also wish you good luck. You have time. If you want, you can come to us, we live at No. 27 Moody Street, and my father owns a fish shop."
1900 said, "Maybe." At this time, he knew this and would never see the girl again, because he was Not disembarking. Infinite sadness was written on his face.
1900 saw the girl go through the immigration formalities, then walked off the side of the ship and disappeared into the crowd.
In the lounge of the Virginia lounge, Nei Night
, a sad 1900 broke the template that he thought was useless and threw it into the trash can.
Max's voice-over: "During the next 12 voyages he never mentioned it, and I didn't ask. He was as lighthearted as usual, and a huge hit. Then on a spring evening, on a trip from Italy to New York The sea..."
Virginia Restaurant Nai Night
In the spacious and luxurious dining room, 1900 and Max dine at a table. They were all in evening gowns and probably just finished playing. 1900 said, "Three days later, the ship will arrive in New York Harbor, and I will leave the ship."
This statement came so suddenly that Max didn't react for a while, and looked at 1900 in surprise.
1900 said: "Why are you dumb."
Max said: "No, I'm very happy. But suddenly. It's great to have you." Max couldn't help laughing out of joy.
1900 said: "I went ashore to see something."
Max said, "What to see?"
1900 said: "Look at the sea."
Max disagreed and said, "You're kidding. You were born to look at the sea, can't you see enough?"
1900 said: "I think from the shore, it's different."
Max said: "As soon as we land on the shore, you stretch out and see enough, the effect is the same."
