Chapter 76

Lan Li read the two pages of the script three times, then put down the script and slowly put together the whole blueprint in his mind.

This is an excerpt from the middle of the movie. Paul has contacted the FBI through his mobile phone and is waiting for help. The kidnappers called and asked Paul to record a video according to the note they left in the coffin, ask the U.S. government for a million yuan ransom, and then send it to the kidnappers. But the Bureau of investigation staff dissuaded Paul from recording the video, because it would only make things worse. In the end, Paul didn't record the video.

The excerpt is in the next paragraph. The kidnappers didn't receive the video, so they sent a video. In the video, one of Paul's female colleagues was also kidnapped, but in a room similar to a warehouse. The kidnappers threatened to kill the female colleague. In an emergency, Paul was forced to agree to record the video.

Langley couldn't help thinking seriously. He had no way to know how it felt to be trapped in the coffin, but he knew that Paul's mood was very complicated at the moment. On the one hand, it is waiting for the rescue of the FBI; On the one hand, he was worried that he would not be able to escape, so he called his mother who lived in the nursing home. The video of the kidnapper was sent at such a turbulent moment.

Originally, Paul held a glimmer of hope that he could escape, but then the crisis hit again. Not only his life was in danger, but also the lives of his colleagues were in danger; What's more infuriating is that he was trapped in a small coffin. Even if he wanted to resist, he could not do it. He had to be beaten passively. He could not vent his grievances.

Looking from left to right, they were sitting in the hall on the first floor of the youth hostel. As the weather cleared up again, the crowd scattered one after another. However, seven or eight people were still chatting in the hall, and the atmosphere was peaceful and peaceful.

"I'm ready." Langley gestured "OK" to Rodriguez. "Will you help me with the play?"

Rodriguez did not keep up with the reaction for a time, Leng Leng, then nodded, "no problem." In this play, lanli needs a role as the opponent of the kidnapper. There are not many lines, but the two sides need to have a dialogue.

The reason for choosing this play is very simple. Paul is in a dramatic moment when he is pushed off the cliff after a short relaxation. This extreme change is a test of the actor's emotional control, which is in line with the first part described by Langley; What's more, Paul's heart was touched when he saw his colleagues fall into crisis. At the same time, he must take into account the dissuasion of the Bureau of investigation. Paul's inner change will be more special, which is in line with the second part described by Langley.

Of course, Rodriguez also knows that in just a few minutes, the content of the investigation is limited, but he is still very curious about how the confident lanli will perform. As he watched, Rodriguez saw Langley lie down... So he did!

Lanli adjusted his sitting posture, stretched his legs on the sofa, and then closed his eyes to slow down the rhythm of breathing. He outlined in his mind the feeling of being trapped in a narrow space. The darkness slowly fell down, surrounded him and began to contract bit by bit.

For the time being, he doesn't think about the probability that Ryan Reynolds will get the role in the war, or the possibility of winning the role by breaking the shackles of age. At the same time, he doesn't think about the noise of being in a public place. He wholeheartedly focuses his mind on the role itself, so that his spirit can be highly concentrated.

In the darkness, the noise around the ears began to become louder and louder. With the contraction of darkness, it became more and more obvious, as if the whole world outside the darkness was going through a new year's Carnival Party, which further compressed the dark space and almost surrounded lanli; After the darkness was compressed to the extreme, it began to rebound again, quickly engulfing the noise like the tide, just as the darkness was engulfing the light. In a flash, all the sounds around disappeared.

Rodriguez widened his eyes and looked at it carefully, only to find that there was no movement at all, as if he was completely asleep, which made Rodriguez completely confused. For a moment, he didn't know what to do - should he wake him up?

But at this time, lanli's breathing began to accelerate, and his chest heaved like a bellows. The violent movement almost made Rodriguez think that lanli's disease had taken place, which was a bit shocking. Then, Langley's eyes opened.

That pair of deep eyes hide behind a hazy mist, slightly clenched teeth make the facial lines tighten, a trace of suffering and struggle looms between the slightly frowning eyebrows, heavy breathing is surging in the chest, as if every breath is consuming brain energy.

Even without the help of make-up, even if the face still looks young, even if there is no language foreshadowing, but the emotion is clearly and accurately transmitted, Rodriguez understood almost immediately. After talking with his mother, Paul's emotion fluctuates violently, and the split of family love slowly spreads between his teeth with a heartbreaking pain.

Paul picked up his cell phone, closed his eyes and put it to his ear with all his strength. However, his thumb was reluctant to press the call button. His strong brow tilted slightly and his bitterness rippled and his breath choked, as if all his emotions stopped at this moment, But the ripples are spreading out in circles, uncontrollable. He pressed the call button.

There was no sound at the other end of the phone. Paul took his cell phone to his eyes and glanced at it. Someone actually sent a video. Paul's choked breath suddenly relaxed, and his tangled eyebrows could not suppress his inner panic. His pupils trembled restlessly, and the roots of his teeth were biting, but it still didn't help. His thumb lifted up again and stopped slightly. In less than half a second, he could see the trembling fingertips, and then he pressed the OK button.

"No The air was quiet. Without any other assistance, Rodriguez looked at the one-man show, but his heart immediately tangled. He knew that Paul saw the video of his colleague - the rapidly vibrating pupil with a trace of confusion and confusion, and the nightmare of despair began to climb up from his fingertips, "no, no, no, no, no

The voice of negation began to tremble slightly. He couldn't believe it. He widened his eyes and looked at the mobile phone screen. The ashes of heart paralysis came out through his eyes. The voice began to collapse, "no, no, no!"

He breathed, the light in his eyes disappearing. He pressed the number quickly, and the phone was connected almost immediately. Rodriguez said in a low voice, "did you record the video?" God, his own performance is just bullshit, affectation, a line said no three no four, he is really not suitable to be an actor.

"Please! No... no... don't hurt her! " Paul's voice is fragmented, even can hear the sound of teeth in the fight, did not receive Rodriguez's influence, "don't hurt her! Let her go

The flustered voice revealed the ashes of despair, as if even the darkness had become insignificant. Rodriguez's mood was driven up, and he said fiercely, "if I don't make the video, I'll shoot!"

"No, no, no! Don't shoot! Don't shoot Paul's sincere voice was out of control and burst like a blister - a fierce voice, but nothing but nothingness, falling rapidly into the abyss.

In a flash, the eyes of the whole youth hostel hall were focused, and people's eyes were worried. The noise disappeared, their muscles were tense, and they were on alert. Then they heard Paul's urgent cry, "I will, I will! I promise! " The fragility in the voice seemed to fall apart in a breeze, "I promise! Please, she's a mother. She has two children

"Two children? I have five children, and now there's only one left! " Rodriguez couldn't help grinding his teeth. Even he didn't know why he did it. The cruel voice was like a poisonous snake saying, "you're going to make a video right away!"

"Wait! Wait Paul was losing, and he didn't even fight, let alone fight back, "no, wait!" The bitter pleading didn't work at all. "I don't know what you want me to say..." when he was flustered, he was still trying to mediate. It was like falling on the edge of a cliff and seizing the last rope. He didn't want to give up, but the other party obviously didn't give him a chance. "I'll give you three seconds, three, two..."

Paul's throat was strangled by death like countdown. His whole body was tense, but he could not move. He was firmly held in place, as if his limbs were fixed. Only his voice was free. As a result, he began to vent his inner grievance, anger, helplessness and despair with his hoarse voice! Good Pupils began to spread out, you can clearly see the vitality of the soul is disappearing, the despair of death has begun to invade the brain, "I will do video! I do video! I'll make a video! "

The words were faster and more painful. This was his only weapon, but it didn't help, "please! c'mon! Please He let go of his hands and slowly fell into the dark abyss. At last, his ears were quiet, and the voice of countdown finally disappeared. "I'm going to hang up now to make a video, OK?"

"You have three minutes!" Rodriguez's voice came from hell.

Paul hung up the phone, turned over, and then used the camera on the back of his mobile phone to point at him. He even forgot to breathe. His pale lips didn't have a trace of blood color. His soulless eyes looked at the camera numbly and emptily, and his clenched teeth revealed a trace of determination. He knew that after making the video, It means that he has cut off his own life, but he has to do so, because he has no choice to be a butcher.

Taking a deep breath, without any pause, he pressed the record button.
