Chapter 81

Scarlett's small eyes always have a shallow halo, or pick or slant, or stare or aim, the moment between the movement and the stillness is always unforgettable.

Looking at the light corners of Scarlett's eyes, he looked up and down like a Persian cat, and the smile at the corner of lanli's mouth went from shallow to deep. He not only didn't panic, but also tilted slightly to the side, leaning against the brick wall at the door, his body became more relaxed and casual; His right hand was still playing with the cigarette box, but he didn't smile.

Scarlett eyebrows gently pick pick, some accidents, blue Li such a posture, unruly, uninhibited, his own style.

This is just the first meeting between Scarlett and lanli. She doesn't know lanli's character, but from the impression of her appearance and the brief confrontation just now, lanli is more like a sharp and introverted gentleman. The elegance and wisdom between understatement can often control the initiative unconsciously.

But now lanli seems to be arrogant, and the arrogance and ruffian between the dense water vapor make people think of James Dean. This kind of subtle contrast, let a person some elusive.

"I know you have a good hand, but I also know you're bluffing now." Scarlett's pupils shrank slightly, just like the cat saw the prey, either not easy to move, or a fatal blow, the killing machine hidden in the confusion showed the edge.

Blue Li mouth down pull pull, it seems that because of Scarlett's words entertainment, eyes rather pondering, "how to say this?"

"You know, there's a group of people who always think they're special and unique, but..." Scarlett has a long ending, her eyes sparkle with prank light, her ruddy lips curl into a line, and then suddenly outline them, "but in fact, they're just a nobody, nobody has heard of."

"Ouch." Lan Li called out a cry of pain. In response, the smile on his face deepened. "So this should be a good thing. It seems that you are sure that Ryan will get the role?"

Lan Li's reaction made Scarlett a little uncertain. Her white teeth bit the tip of her tongue and her eyes turned. "You don't look like a loser who will give up." The reason why lanli chose to stay is obviously that he didn't just stand here foolishly. So, what is he seeking?

Blue Li smile as before, "should I take this as a compliment?"

Instead, Scarlett made a decision. She shrugged her shoulders and showed a complete indifference. "Who cares? You can take it as a compliment. It's your freedom. As for whether Ryan can succeed in the audition, it's his business, not my concern

Blue Li showed a surprised expression, "I thought you came here with Ryan today, just holding the posture of potential, singing and following. This is a good story in Hollywood."

Scarlett's left eye blinked slightly, her shell like teeth bit her lower lip, and a cunning smile outlined her face. As her smile grew bigger and bigger, her soft lip gradually slipped from her teeth, and finally turned into a graceful radian. "Haven't you heard about the swing? In the invisible corner, the reserved paparazzi is pressing the shutter

"Filming our affair?" Lan Li's smile is full of ridicule, and his frivolous words are not disgusting, but make people's cheeks slightly hot.

"Oh." Scarlett's smile fully burst out, chuckled, stepped away from the door, turned her back to the direction of the lobby, faced lanli, and stepped back, "Sir, you overestimate yourself." The subtext is that her reputation and popularity are not qualified to have an affair with her.

Lan Li spread out his hands to show his innocence.

Scarlett noticed a small detail. Lanli's body left the brick wall and stood up straight again. It can be understood that she just wanted to be more convenient to speak. After all, Scarlett was retreating and the distance between them was widening; But it can also be understood as——

Scarlett looked back and saw Rodriguez's gaze. At this time, Ryan is talking about something, but Rodriguez looks out of the window, the direction of vision is... Scarlett looks back again, Langley hall.

The steps stopped, the smile stopped a little, but then it bloomed again. Scarlett looked at blue Li seriously. "This gentleman, although I don't know what magic you are playing, I'm sure I don't have any interest in participating in it. If I remember correctly, I'm from Reynolds

His abacus was detected, blue Li heart slightly wringing, but the surface is not leaking, "I think you have enough trust in Ryan's absolute strength."

This sentence made Scarlett laugh without hesitation. "It's a good joke." Ruian can make complaints about the fact that it is a good actor, but it is far from the adjectives such as "absolute power". Scarlett's bold and direct spirit of Tucao is not even avoided by Ruian.

Scarlett turned around and stepped into the lobby again with graceful steps. Her back disappeared behind the heavy glass door. The courtyard quieted down again, leaving only lanli alone.

Rodriguez's attention is not very focused. In front of him, Ryan is still expressing his views on the script. His focus is on the rhythm control of the story. For horror movies, like most popcorn movies, the control of climax and the creation of atmosphere are crucial, but in Rodriguez's ears, these are nonsense.

Rhythm or atmosphere, these are the work of the director, not the actor. Ryan's understanding of the role obviously still stays in the "first part", focusing on how to hold the audience's tension firmly in his hands, how to drive the audience's emotion with invisible fear like Alfred Hitchcock... But Ryan has no idea about the understanding of the role itself and the sublimation of the connotation of the script.

That disappointed Rodriguez.

There is no difference without comparison. After watching lanli's performance, Ryan's performance is simple and straightforward. Indeed, Ryan can accurately express panic, fear, despair and other emotions, which coincides with Rodriguez's original mental setting. There is no doubt that Ryan can accomplish the task excellently; But Ryan's performance lacks level and depth, which does not help refine the story.

"Buried alive" has the potential to become outstanding, but now it is regarded as a good work, no different from other horror films and thrillers.

Involuntarily, Rodriguez looks up and glances out of the window. Then he sees Langley and Scarlett talking. Apart from the whole courtyard, Rodriguez couldn't hear their conversation, but he could notice the subtle difference in lanli's body - he looked more... Uninhibited, rough and free, and he seemed to be at ease. That kind of elegant posture made his eyes stop.

Rodriguez did not have time to study the real personality of Langley. He could not help but reappear the image of Paul, not Paul trapped in the coffin, but Paul before he came to Iraq.

Funny, humorous and handsome Paul can always win the hearts of girls. He was a member of the school basketball team in high school and a man of the year on campus. He always enjoyed his life and his youth until he met Linda, who later became his wife.

At the beginning of marriage, they are always happy. They have their first child, they have their own house in the suburbs, and their life has gradually stabilized; But the real estate bubble in 2008 set off a financial tsunami, and all the savings in their banks disappeared, and life immediately got into trouble. So the quarrel began, and they began to become alienated and unfamiliar, and life began to become difficult and struggling.

Choosing to go to Iraq is not only a choice forced by life, but also a choice to give the marriage some space.

Before they were kidnapped, Paul and Linda had a quarrel. All the discontent and anger accumulated in the past few months broke out. The pressure of mortgage, the urge of bank, the hardship of distance, the education of children and so on. One by one, they wanted to tear up each other through the telephone line. Finally, they put down their cruel words and hung up the phone.

Rodriguez saw Paul's life in Langley, vivid and concrete, three-dimensional and vivid. Even though the story of "burying alive" is confined to a coffin, the world outside the coffin begins to extend infinitely, and the whole story begins to become full and profound.

Rodriguez's inner excitement began to jump up little by little, almost uncontrollable. He had an impulse to immediately carry the camera, record lanli's every move, and even immediately put himself into the shooting of the film. His creative enthusiasm was like a volcanic eruption, and every cell began to scream.

"Rodriguez?" The sound of Ryan's call brought Roderick to his senses. "What do you think? If we can, we can revise the script, re plan these scenes, and then we can start shooting. I have enough time to finish this work in the next month. " Ryan had a big smile on his face and was ready to work.

Rodriguez looked at Ryan seriously. He did not forget that Ryan was his first choice, and he wrote the invitation letter himself; He also did not forget that Ryan's current fame is extremely valuable for "buried alive", and it will be helpful in the following aspects, such as distribution, publicity and release; He also did not forget that Ryan himself came to New York from Los Angeles. His sincerity and devotion showed his enthusiasm.

He had a decision in mind.
