Everything about William

After several conversations, the guest finally agreed to wait outside the door. The old housekeeper turned and walked upstairs, turned right and came to the third room from the front. He was about to knock on the door, but found that the door was ajar.

He opened the door, walked into the bedroom, and finally stopped on the left side opposite the bed.

"Mr. William, the car is here!"

The old housekeeper leaned slightly to show respect.

"I'm a little tired."

The middle-aged man in silver silk pajamas looked tired. He leaned his upper body on the bed and reluctantly put down the pipe in his hand.

"Sir, the agent said we can wait for you for up to five minutes."

The old housekeeper reminded him again and went downstairs straight.

After hesitating for a moment, William struggled to get up, washed, shaved, changed into formal clothes, and then stood in front of the mirror and looked at himself carefully. At some point, a few white hairs sprouted from the temples on both sides.

He has been in the entertainment industry for many years. He just turned thirty-five this year, but he looks much older.

The black business Maybach is already waiting downstairs. The car is about seven meters long. Two security personnel are lined up in the middle and open the doors on both sides.

The expression on William's face was very solemn. He adjusted his collar subconsciously and then got in the car.

The sound insulation effect of the car body is very good. Sitting in the car, you can hardly hear any noise.

"Let's read the script first."

The speaker was sitting opposite. Because of the distance, he stood up when handing over the brochure.

William said nothing, took the script, and immediately started reading it.

The script was ten pages long and it took him about five minutes to read it.

"Any suggestions?"

The car roof lights were a little dim, and I could barely see the agent's face. He has a gray and white beard on his face, sunken eyes, and rough features. He looks like a bold man.

"Get ready!"

Just as William finished speaking, the car door opened again, and a young man dressed enchantingly walked in.

He skillfully opened his satchel and selected tools according to the requirements of the scene.

The script for this performance is a political drama, and William needs to play an old politician who is betrayed by his apprentice.

Age setting: fifty-one;

Body type: medium;

Specific position: Deputy Mayor.

Obviously, the makeup artist has already read the script and is repeatedly adjusting the wrinkles, skin color and hair volume on William's face without waiting for the agent's arrangement.

Fifteen minutes later, William was a completely different person. His hair was sparse, his skin was dull and covered with tiny wrinkles. He faced the mirror and said softly: "Maybe this is because I am old. How it will look in the future."

The makeup artist didn't hear it and was busy organizing her makeup bag.

"Mr. William, are you satisfied?"

The young man's voice was high and gentle, very much like a woman.

"Yeah!"

William nodded noncommittally.

The makeup artist packed up and got out of the car in a hurry, and the car started immediately.

Next stop: the fictional M City.

"Mr. Mayor, we're here!"

After just taking a nap, the Maybach was replaced by the Passat, and the speaker was a strange woman sitting in the same row with William. Not pretty, with light makeup, no real age visible, and wearing a tight-fitting gray-blue work suit.

He was about to speak, but found that he didn’t know the woman’s name. William thought about the script repeatedly, Xiaoli, Xiaowen or Xiaoyun, what was her name?

"Little..."

He hesitated and tried to get through.

The woman was very clever and immediately added: "It's Xiao Song, I see you are always...always busy with work..."

She was originally What I wanted to say was, "Look at your old memory," but suddenly I remembered that the mayor was just over fifty.

"Look at my memory! Xiao Song, yes! Yes! Yes!"

William pretended to be happy, but in his heart he didn't care what the woman's name was.

"Today is your apprentice Tan Wen's promotion celebration, get out of the car quickly!"

The female secretary reminded her in a congratulatory tone, without any hint of deliberateness.

"Okay!"

After saying that, the car door opened, and two rows of people were already waiting at the door of the hotel, obviously to welcome someone important.

As soon as William's feet touched the ground, a group of people crowded over, including children delivering flowers and reporters busy taking photos. In the chaos and pushing, he entered the hotel with difficulty. hall.

"Tan Wen! Is he the one who will betray me?"

William has already read the script well and knows what kind of betrayal his character will suffer. But as an actor, he You must pretend not to know, and not only that, but you must also show 100% trust in it.

"Teacher, you are here!"

Seeing the mayor's arrival, a handsome man who was talking to someone not far away immediately came over to say hello.

His appearance is very pleasant, and his eyes are shining. It is the passion, or ambition, that only young people have. In order to play his role well, William decided to throw away all distracting thoughts and completely transform into a virtuous man. The highly respected deputy mayor.

"You are young and promising. I saw you right."

The mayor chuckled and narrowed his eyes.

"It all depends on your careful cultivation, teacher. I will help you find a good seat."

"No, you can do it anywhere."

William or the mayor knew very well that as long as the important person was alive, his seat would always be empty, so he was in no hurry to take his seat.

"Go and do your work first! I'm looking for someone to catch up with old times."

"Teacher, then... if the reception is not good, you must not blame me!"

"Everything you say comes from my own family."

The mayor smiled and waved, indicating that Tan Wen could help himself.

The young man reluctantly left the teacher, looking quite guilty.

After Tan Wen left, William found a random place to sit down. He knew that as a deputy mayor, he should be more cautious in his words and deeds. It didn't matter where he sat. What mattered was that he should never forget his identity.

The celebration was held with great grandeur. William, as a special guest, participated in several interactive sessions, including singing, speeches, recitations, etc.

He wanted to step into the role of deputy mayor, but he was always thinking about one thing - the destined betrayal.

In order to create a more three-dimensional character, William felt that he should have uneasiness, which came from instinct. Before misfortune or disaster occurs, the person concerned should have some kind of chaotic premonition.

At the end of the banquet, the deputy mayor said a few private words to his apprentice alone: ??"Tan Wen! Everyone has desires, but they must learn to stop in moderation."

Hearing the teacher's words Alert, a hint of gloom suddenly flashed across the young man's face, and soon disappeared.

According to the writing in the script, Tan Wen used his position as director of the Publicity Department to privately support several cultural projects, all of which are currently at a loss. The deputy mayor relied on his own connections to barely prevent the explosion. event.

As losses continue, the project's liabilities become larger and larger. If it is not stopped or changed hands in time, something will happen in the future.

In the heart of the deputy mayor, Tan Wen is closer than his own son. After all, he has inherited some of his ideas, and even if he is wrong, he cannot give up on him.

In the script, Tan Wen is the second son of the deputy mayor, and William finally understands why he was betrayed.

It’s not that young people are ungrateful, but that the deputy mayor himself is too affectionate, or too naive. He has sophisticated political methods and is proficient in the world of people, but once he is moved by true feelings, he can only Let others slaughter you.

The climax of the story occurred at a film festival awards ceremony, and the sponsor behind it was Tan Wen. At that time, the deputy mayor was invited to serve as the award guest for the best supporting actor.

The winner is a young boy, about fourteen or five years old. Because of his great contrast in the role, he was unanimously recommended by the jury.

Before the award ceremony was over, procuratorate staff in casual clothes took him away quietly.

Faced with a series of evidence of embezzlement of public funds, the deputy mayor confessed. He decided to bear all the consequences. Tan Wen was his favorite apprentice and the person he had spent his whole life cultivating. He was willing to make sacrifices.

William sat quietly in the interrogation room, and a strange memory suddenly appeared in his mind. He remembered the award-winning film called "Youth" at the film festival, but he could never remember the winning boy. name.

While the deputy mayor was serving his sentence, Tan Wen never showed up. The female assistant came once and said some brief words of farewell.

Five years later, the deputy mayor was released after serving his sentence. A Maybach about seven meters long was parked at the main entrance of the prison.

He hesitantly walked to the car door and got in according to the security personnel's instructions. The makeup artist and agent were already waiting in the car. The charming young man took out a large bottle of makeup remover from his bag, and returned to William's original appearance in a few moments.

"Mr. William, it's ready!"

After taking off the makeup, the makeup artist immediately got out of the car.

"Let's take a break for half an hour, and wait for a new script."

While speaking, the agent handed over half a bottle of pure water.

William took the bottle, put it aside, leaned against the soft leather seat, and dozed off.

He slept soundly this time. Although the car was not as soft as the big bed at home, it could at least alleviate the consciousness that was on the verge of collapse.

Twenty minutes later, the agent's call sounded. William slowly opened his eyes and looked out the window, not sure where he was.

"Read the script first."

The agent's tone was very cold and he didn't care about the actor's mental state at all.

William took the booklet and began to look through it.

The script is about eight pages long and mainly tells the story of a failed screenwriter.

Age setting: forty-two;

Body type: tall, thin;

Job content: writing scripts;

< p> William is on the thin side and doesn't need to make too many changes to fit the character.

The man in the story is very persistent. He has written third-rate scripts for decades and still insists on writing them for thousands of dollars or hundreds of dollars. The script he wrote was vulgar and full of nonsense. He had no ideas of his own and lacked distinctive personal characteristics.

For him, bloody dramas are as fulfilling to his work and life as rice and steamed buns.

After reading the book, William replied lightly: "Let's get started!"

The makeup artist picked up the eyebrow pencil and began to draw the eyebrows. A few long gray hairs were added, and a sketch-style sunken makeup was specially painted on William's face to make the character appear slimmer. After makeup, William has prominent cheekbones and sunken cheeks, resembling a middle-aged man who has been tortured by disease and hunger for many years.

After all the work was completed, the young man looked at it carefully and finally put on a wig for William.

"Mr. William, take a look!"

The makeup artist took out a small round mirror and handed it over. William took the mirror, turned his head, and repeatedly observed his new look.

After a while, the agent nodded, the makeup artist got out of the car with her bag, and the door closed.

Next stop: Yangchun Lane.

When William first entered the industry, he heard a famous saying: "The highest glory of an actor is hidden in the seven-meter-long Maybach."

This is indeed the case, everyone who has been in it People have become amazing performing artists, but no one knows what they went through.

According to the company’s confidentiality agreement, contracted artists are not allowed to peek into the secrets outside the window. They have to get off the car wherever it goes. To prevent anyone from cheating, thick curtains are installed on both sides of the car window. After the agent got out of the car, he was monitored by two tall professional security guards.

He has long been accustomed to silence. He was in the same car with two stupid guys and never spoke.

William sat quietly in the car. When the familiar tiredness came over him, he slowly closed his eyes. When he woke up again, the car had already stopped in a wilderness.

He got out of the car alone, and the car left immediately. William walked to the side of the road, and it took a lot of effort to get a ride.

The driver was a short, fat, middle-aged man, who was pulling a cart of pigs and was about to enter the city. Along the way, the driver kept chattering, and William occasionally chimed in, still thinking about the screenwriter. .

Forty minutes later, the car stopped in front of a square. Before getting off, the kind driver gave him fifty yuan.

William stood on the side of the road, holding the crumpled banknotes in his hands, and had not yet reacted.

Walking on the road, pedestrians looked sideways to express curiosity. Then he lowered his head and took a look, and finally found the reason. It turned out that he was wearing a jacket with peeling leather, and the white part exposed was too much. conspicuous.

When passing by an alley, William turned in and reappeared. The leather jacket was no longer on him.

After several inquiries, he finally found the alley called "Yangchun Alley". There was a stone-carved archway at the entrance of the alley, with the name written in wavy antique fonts. William walked in hesitantly.

He remembered that the screenwriter lived in a community building called Yangchundu. It was said to be a community building, but it was actually more like a private house. Of course, William only found out about it later.

The screenwriter lives in a rental house No. 334, with one bedroom and one living room. The furnishings in the living room are extremely simple, with nothing else except a wooden sofa and table. According to the script, William needed to write for eight years before he became famous.

He thought to himself: "A third-rate screenwriter who can only write bloody stories can actually become famous. Is there anything more bloody than this?"

William did not believe this story. , decided to take a look at the books written by him or himself.

He entered the bedroom and was startled unconsciously. He saw only a mattress on the floor full of debris. The bedding was in a mess. There were more than a dozen piles on the desk not far away. A centimeter-high book, William stepped forward, picked up a book and flipped through it at random.

"Warring States Period": Nineteen-year-old Lin Shitian accidentally clicked on an icon called "Warring States" while playing games in an Internet cafe. While playing the game, the Internet cafe suddenly lost power. Then a woman's voice was heard: "Mr. Yuyu, save my concubine..."

Halfway through, William put down the book and continued to open another one.

"The Legend of Urban Heroes": There is a group of mysterious young people living in Z city. Whenever midnight falls, they will drive their racing cars to the slums and scatter money. The poor are happy and the law and order officers are happy. But he couldn't sit still, and soon he publicly wanted this group of "saboteurs" who disturbed the public order... In the end, the heroes died and were injured. In order to avoid pursuit, the heroes acted bravely and righteously. Went to another city...

He patiently read the entire script, and then opened a new one.

"The Wrath of the Galaxy": The War of the Galaxy is over, peace has returned to the galaxy again, and the Supreme Council has been established. The members are composed of managers of major planetary and star committees. The "New Galactic Treaty" clearly stipulates that in addition to galaxy management agencies, all planets must destroy space weapons... thus a conflict between power and race officially begins. Exploded...

After seeing the end, William smiled and thought it was pretty good.

It took him a day and a half to read more than 80 booklets. Overall, the work was not outstanding.

Next, William will replace the screenwriter and become the new writer.

In the process of creating the plot, he actually forgot his identity and became completely addicted to the world of words. The author not only created new stories, but also revised previous ones.

For example, in "Urban Heroes", that group of mysterious people who like to spread money finally have a past. According to William's writing, they are all orphans who have obtained large amounts of wealth through crime, and all the money they received is given away as gifts. To those who have been abandoned by the city, because they themselves are also the unfortunate abandoned ones... At the end of the story, the police caught the heroes, and at the request of the public, all their sentences were reduced...

After the changes, the illusory people in the script finally have a physical body, and the ending is not as heroic as the first version, with less rebellion and more redemption.

Eight years passed by in a flash. According to the setting, he was going to write a youth drama called "Youth", and it was through this drama that the down-and-out screenwriter became famous.

William wrote such a story:

In love, there is both a lover and a loved one. As a unique experience that belongs only to both, in every Personal feelings are different. What I want to tell is the story about a young man named Wei Lian. He is the protagonist, but not the protagonist in love.

When he was seventeen, he fell in love with an extremely superficial girl. She was romantic, but Wei Lian regarded her as a god.

There are often gossips about girls on campus, such as underworld, fighting, doing bad things... The most common one is the duel between lovers, where two reckless boys fight for her. She was hospitalized, but after she was discharged, she found that there was already a new candidate beside her.

Only she chooses others, or abandons others, because she is beautiful and breathtakingly beautiful.

Most rumors come from jealous girls and become a hot topic among boys.

Only Wei Lian loves her and never believes anything bad about girls. He believes that a person who looks like an angel cannot be tainted. He distinguishes his love from everyone else.

......

Compared to being loved, people are usually more willing to take the initiative to love others.

Among all the suitors, she hated Wei Lian the most. She felt that he was like a piece of dog-skin plaster, which was both clingy and disgusting.

In order to get rid of the stalker, the girl chose to be even more debauched. As long as Wei Lian was present, she would definitely do something nasty to a boy in front of him, or instigate her temporary lover to use violence. He was beaten several times for this. Beat him up.

Finally, Wei Lian decided to give up, and the girl gradually began to restrain herself.

She was glad that she was free again. Without the disgusting dog-skin plaster, the air seemed much fresher.

.......

That day, Wei Lian, who was busy studying, heard the shocking news that the girl was pregnant and decided to drop out of school.

Without thinking, he immediately rushed out of the classroom and ran downstairs to her house in the rain. The impulsive person is not sure whether he should rush forward, and in the end, he goes home with his head down and hurts someone.

Everyone knew who it was, but no one cared, including the boys who had dated girls. They all watched the show with a gloating attitude. Only Wei Lian attacked Bi from behind with a screwdriver. The taller culprit.

The big man did not die, but became a permanent vegetative state

...

William sent the script he had written, and the producer Two suggestions were given: the plot is touching, but a little thin.

He was not discouraged and decided to change the script into a play-within-a-play structure. The plot of "Youth" remained intact, and a new character Tan Wen was added, a careerist who entered the political field for his first love. His girlfriend is a newly minted director with no resources and no reputation. Tan Wen relied on his title of teacher and deputy mayor to get several funds, most of which were invested in film projects.

Among the movies produced by their company, there is one called "Youth". The plot is adapted from the real experience of Tan Wen and his girlfriend. In order to enrich the plot, William specially added an anti-corruption drama: "Youth" 》It was well-received but not popular. Soon, the financial chain was broken and the deputy mayor became the scapegoat.

After revising it, he sent the script out again and became famous.

Just as William was enjoying the privileged life of a great screenwriter, the seven-meter-long Maybach appeared again.

At the entrance of Yangchun Lane, the agent stood in front of the car and made a sign to get in the car to William who was passing by. William seemed to have forgotten his true identity and was stunned for a long time before walking over.

The young makeup artist was already waiting in the car. Without any further explanation, he finished removing the makeup in a few moments.

"Are you okay?"

The manager took the initiative to express concern, but his eyes stayed on the enchanting young man. To be precise, he was looking at the makeup artist's hands.

Those are a pair of slender, delicate little hands, with the little fingers raised high, very elegant.

"Take a rest!"

The voyeur never took away his greedy gaze, as if he was talking to the air.

William nodded, narrowed his eyes, and leaned back on the chair.

The makeup artist packed up his tools and got out of the car silently. The door closed and the car started.

When William woke up, the Maybach happened to be parked downstairs of his house. He got out of the car and entered the house without looking back. The old housekeeper followed closely and did not speak until he reached the bedroom.

"Mr. Tan, do you need something to eat?"

"What did you call me?"

The tired William thought he was hearing something and instantly mentioned Spirit.

"Mr. Tan, are you okay? I was asking if you need food.

"

The housekeeper didn't understand what was going on, and the master's reaction seemed unusual.

"Impossible...absolutely impossible..." William put his head in his hands and yelled at the top of his lungs. After he calmed down, he hurried to the bedside table, opened the drawer, and pulled out a small notebook.

The contents of the notebook are as follows: "Name. Tan Wen; Age, thirty-five; Occupation, Director of the Cultural and Publicity Department of M City and Film Investor..."

The kind-hearted housekeeper just wanted to step forward to comfort him, but was pushed away by William. .

“Get out! go out! Get out..."

He yelled, completely forgetting the etiquette that upper-class people should maintain.

The butler left angrily, and William fell to the ground in despair.< /p>

He suddenly remembered Tan Wen in the play, a bad student who betrayed his teacher for his first love, an investor who made his own experience into a movie, a successful person with corrupt morals but still living a bright life.

p>

If he is not William, then who is William? He is confused and searching in vain for evidence that can overturn his current life.

Half an hour later, the old housekeeper came with two people in white coats. The men suddenly broke into the bedroom and tied up William without any explanation.

"Let me go, what do you want to do?" ”

He resisted desperately, kicking strangers from time to time, but the strangers were outnumbered and eventually dragged out.

In the corridor, the resisters continued to struggle. , the man in white on the left looked at his companion, took out a micro syringe from his pocket, and stabbed William's right arm. In less than half a minute, the frantic man fell into coma again.

In the corridor, two doctors were busy talking.

Through the glass, William saw them. He just wanted to get up, but found that the restraints were too strong and he struggled several times. It was useless, William could only give up.

Ten minutes later, a young male doctor who was talking came in.

“Mr. Tan, do you remember? "

His tone was very gentle, as if he was talking to the closest person.

"Why are you arresting me? "

"Your father asked for it! "

"Father? "

"This is the butler you call, he has taken care of you for five years. "

"Impossible, in the morning, I was still William, and he... the housekeeper kept calling me that. "

For some reason, William paused.

"William does not exist, you are Tan Wen. "

The doctor continued to remind.

"Tan Wen is the person in the play. My name is William, and I am an actor. "

"William does not exist, he is just a person in your fantasy. "

"Don't try to lie to me, the agent can prove my identity. ”

“I’m willing to believe that, as long as you can name the agent or give his phone number! "

"Every morning and evening, he will appear downstairs in my house... He is nearly fifty years old, with a gray beard. By the way, he also has a Maybach, which is said to be seven meters long. ..."

William seemed unable to hear what the other party said, and kept talking about his agent.

"If...I mean , I am willing to believe it, as long as you can tell me the license plate number of Maybach. "

The doctor guided with a smile.

"Every day, we will shoot two scenes, one in the morning and one in the afternoon. The seven-meter-long Maybach is responsible for picking up and dropping off... .In addition to agents, makeup artists can also testify! "

Obviously, William is avoiding the problem.

"Okay! I believe what you said. Can you talk about your recent filming? "

"The first game or the second game? "

He looked at the doctor innocently.

"Everything is fine. "

"This morning was a political drama, and the male protagonist was a very ambitious young man..."

During the narration, William never mentioned the name of the protagonist.

Halfway through the sentence, the doctor interrupted: "What's his name? ”

William did not answer and suddenly fell silent.

Seeing this, the doctor continued to add: "It must be Tan Wen!"

The word "Tan Wen" was like a bolt from the blue. As soon as he heard it, the dreamer's eyes immediately widened. , as if seeing or hearing something big.

"...a bad student who betrayed his teacher for his first love, an investor who made his own experience into a movie, a successful person with corrupt morals but still lives a bright life, how could I be Such a despicable person! Absolutely impossible!" It must be said that William's evaluation is very objective.

"Relax and tell me the name of the heroine!"

The male doctor is very patient. No matter how many times the other party repeats, he always keeps smiling.

"Her name is... her name is..."

William suddenly remembered that the heroine in "Youth" also had no name.

"Perhaps, she shouldn't exist at all."

"No way, she is so important, without her there would be no filming!"

" I want to tell you a story, are you willing to listen?"

The doctor looked at the lost man with pleading eyes. William did not speak and stared blankly at the light blue wall.

The following story is told by a doctor, and the content mainly comes from William's father:

Once upon a time, there was a little boy named Tan Wen who loved movies since childhood. His bedroom It is filled with promotional posters for movies, including dozens of themes such as martial arts, science fiction, time travel, and war.

For ordinary children, the criteria for dreams are very simple. They are just scientists, doctors, teachers and other professions that can make positive contributions to mankind. Being an actor is not a good choice, at least for adults. They do not appear to be qualified options.

Tan Wen’s biggest dream is to appear on a poster one day. He spent a lot of time studying acting, mainly by imitating famous characters. Day after day, year after year, the dreamer who was at the bottom of his studies gradually grew up.

He did not graduate successfully. After entering the society, he made a living by playing small roles in the film crew.

When I was young, my dreams were always within reach. The ambitious people spent tens of dollars a day on hard work and persisted silently for several years.

Huangtian paid off, and when he was twenty-six years old, an opportunity finally came to him.

At that time, a movie called "Red Bean" was about to start filming. The second male lead was suddenly poached, and the crew planned to find a new actor. During the audition, Tan Wen performed very well, and in the end there were only two competitors left, him and an inconspicuous Jarhead man.

At first, the director favored Tan Wen's performance. Compared to the latter, he was obviously more experienced and relatively cheap. Unexpectedly, at the time of the final selection, the judges suddenly changed their votes. In the end, He managed to go undrafted.

It would be devastating for anyone to have an opportunity that has been waiting for years go up in flames.

During the filming of "Red Bean", the depressed Tan Wen accidentally got a piece of gossip that the new male lead was the godson of the deputy mayor.

The truth only made matters worse. For the first time in his life, he felt the taste of injustice. Quietly, the innocent boy in Tan Wen's heart was killed.

He feels that life is too much like a slut, and as long as he can afford the price, he can do whatever he wants.

After two weeks of ideological struggle, Tan Wen decided to give up his career as an actor. Before leaving, he specially ordered a dozen pairs of cheap pink lace thongs online and took advantage of his off-duty time to get them all. In the crew.

After that, he locked himself in his home, not seeing or paying attention to anyone.

When Tan Wen's father led the police to find him, he was already unconscious. His body seemed to be glued to the stool, and an account - William.T - was logged in on the computer screen.

Mr. T replaced Tan Wen and continued his movie dream. In a few years, he sold dozens of movies.

Among them is a play-within-a-play called "Youth". The plot is extremely complex and has a four-layer structure.

On the first floor, the slutty girl and the male lead.

The second level is Tan Wen’s betrayal, sacrificing the deputy mayor for his first love.

The third level, the down-and-out screenwriter, wrote the stories of the first two levels.

On the fourth level, actor William can use his special identity to experience a completely different life.

After the script was written, Mr. T got lost in the story. He always felt that he should be a first-line actor named William. Every morning, he took a seven-meter-long Maybach to work. He had no worries about food and clothing. Except for the agent, no one has to deal with it...

The story came to an end, and William on the side actually cried.

"Tell me how you feel!"

With that, the doctor untied his restraints.

"Who am I?"

"Who do you think you are?"

The crying William just stood up, and the doctor handed over a booklet. He said casually: "Younger is well written and full of tragedy. I like it very much..."

"Do you like that slut?"

"Yes, I have to say, she is very much like life..."

The doctor expressed his opinions with great interest, but William did not listen.

He turned his head and glanced downstairs and found his agent standing in front of the seven-meter-long Maybach and waving enthusiastically.
