Jennifer Lawrence secretly looks at lanli, who is sitting cross legged in the corner by herself. At the beginning, she is still a little stiff. She steals a few eyes carefully. But then, she notices that lanli doesn't seem to find her eyes at all, which makes her bold.
The filming speed of the crew exceeded expectations. They went to Rhode Island yesterday and finished all the scenes of Jacob and Anna's holiday in just one day; In the next two days, the crew will focus on filming Jacob's life in Los Angeles after Anna left; After that, it will take another day or two to go to Los Angeles International Airport to complete the rest of the filming, and then the crew will leave for London.
It also means that Jennifer doesn't have much time to slow down. Today she will shoot her first scene, and she must get into shape immediately.
Before shooting, Jennifer wants to communicate with lenley, not only for the next shooting, but also for the shooting in the past few days. Lenley's outstanding performance makes her more and more competitive. She is curious about how lenley does it, and is looking forward to the shooting of today's rival plays.
She knows the habit of Lan Li. Before the shooting of every play, he will find a quiet corner to read the script carefully and repeatedly. If necessary, he will discuss the details of the script with the director and actors. Thirty minutes or even 45 minutes before the shooting started, Langley had already begun to devote himself to the performance.
Jennifer just hesitated for a moment, then strode over and squatted down in front of blue Lee She said tentatively, "can we compare a couple of plays?"
Lanli didn't respond. His eyes were still on the script. He was holding an unlighted cigarette in his mouth and frowning slightly. It seemed that he was repeatedly browsing the short words on the script - Jennifer also appeared in the play. She knew that there were no words between them at all. The script was just a few lines.
Will these lines blossom and bear fruit?
"Lan Li?" Jennifer raised her voice slightly, but lanli still didn't respond, which made her eyebrows close to the middle. She didn't like this feeling. She was ignoring herself. There was a gurgle of anger in her chest. She repressed her anger and cried again, "lanli!" A syllable, a syllable, is almost gnashing teeth.
However, Langley still did not respond.
This is the most disgusting behavior in the world! It's not only arrogant, but also arrogant. It's really annoying... Jennifer feels like she's going to explode. Just a little bit of admiration for lanli is going to disappear. Then she remembers the misunderstanding when they met for the first time. Her anger calms down a little. She quickly looks over her shoulder - this time lanli doesn't wear earplugs.
"Grass The rude words had already poured into her mouth, and then Jennifer saw that lanli stretched out her hand and groped in the air, completely like a blind man, which made her stunned. Then she saw the water cup at her feet. Does it mean that lanli was looking for a water cup?
Looking at lanli's groping action, Jennifer thinks about it, takes the initiative to pick up the water cup and hands it to lanli.
Lanli felt the water cup coming up, and then he reacted. He suddenly raised his head to meet Jennifer's curious eyes. Jennifer noticed Lanley's gaze and gave a smile. "Hey!"
Lan Li nodded and took his glass. "Thank you." With his left hand, he took the cigarette out of his mouth. With his right hand, he picked up the water cup and took two big sips. Then he put down the water cup, picked up the cigarette again, lowered his head and continued to read the script in front of him.
This time, instead of being angry, she became more and more curious and asked tentatively, "what are you thinking about?"
Due to the interruption, this time Langley did not continue to be silent. "I'm thinking about what Jacob is thinking at this time." He put the script on his knee. "You see, the script says here: Jacob is drawing the furniture, and Sam's voice comes from behind him." do you want me to iron your jeans? " In the play, the story is split. Before this scene, Jacob just came back from London and said goodbye to Anna, but in the next scene, he and Sam live together. There is no clue to show that Jacob and Anna have broken up. At this moment, what kind of emotion is in Jacob's heart, and in the blank of the story, how did he and Anna choose to break up? "
A short sentence, however, triggered so many thoughts of Langley, which made Jennifer feel a little magical, "so, have you found the answer?" Now she finally knows why Langley is always reading the script, and always looking at a sentence or a paragraph and thinking over it.
"I don't know." Langley's reply stunned Jennifer, and then Langley explained, "I mean, Jacob doesn't know. His thoughts were chaotic. All the experiences in London made him fall into a dilemma. He was really lonely, sad and even angry. In fact, Anna was the same. They chose to break up, which is the result of their agreement. So when Sam showed up, he didn't refuse. "
"But deep down, he didn't know what he was thinking, or what he wanted. He's not sure whether breaking up is the right choice, what he and Sam are, whether he still loves Anna, or that the relationship has begun to change. "
"Well." Jennifer pondered carefully. She just sat down cross legged. "In fact, Jacob doesn't want to break up, but the experience in London has changed the pace between him and Anna. Anna has moved forward, but Jacob still stays in the same place. In the face of Sam's initiative, Jacob just needs to continue to look forward, just needs a person's company, so he didn't refuse. "
"Yes, I think Jacob's nature is self abased. He is always passive. The love with Anna is too beautiful and romantic. It's almost the combination of all his best fantasies about love. He can't give up and is unwilling to give up. Even if he chooses to break up, his heart is still struggling. "
Lanli took the cigarette from his mouth and put it on his fingertips. His eyes became deeper and his character became clearer. "But under the pressure of real life, he didn't know what to do and couldn't find a way out. So he muddled along, waiting for time to give an answer, just like countless ordinary people in the world. Everyone knows the truth, but not everyone can do it. "
Even without Sam, Jacob is still alone in Los Angeles, and the relationship between him and Anna is also lost with the change of time and space. Sam was never at the heart of the problem, Jacob and Anna were.
She can catch the sadness and hesitation between Jacob's eyebrows. She can also catch a glimpse of Jacob's childhood smile. She tries her best to see that smile again and protect the man in front of her so that he won't be hurt again. But she never really went into Jacob's heart.
Maybe it's cruel, but it's also realistic.
"You said, what would happen if Jacob told Anna all about his inner troubles?" Jennifer can't help but follow Langley's way of thinking.
Lan Li couldn't help thinking. If everyone in every relationship is willing to be open, communicate with each other and work together, will the result be different. But, this is just a hypothesis, because everyone is so complicated, sometimes confessing the truth can solve the problem, sometimes it can't.
"I don't think we'll ever have a chance to know." Lenley looked up at Drake, who was just going to set up the camera.
At this moment, Langley is unprecedentedly sure that Drake is still in love with his ex-wife.
But life is so cruel, everyone has their own confusion and pain, even if they can predict the future, it is not necessarily able to change the fate, because love is not right or wrong, from the moment of germination, it is the game and compromise between the two sides, the collision and integration of the two sides. More often, love can't solve all the problems.
"Why are you always able to put your ideas into the performance, lanli? Why do you always keep the rhythm under control in every performance? " At last, Jennifer couldn't help but ask her biggest question.
Blue Li Leng Leng, immediately laughed, "I don't know. For me, acting is still a skill that needs constant learning and polishing. I'm just getting started. " After a pause, Langley showed a surprise expression, "can I control the rhythm of the performance? Wow, that's the best compliment I've ever heard. Thank you
Jennifer chuckled, nodded her head, returned a gift, and without hesitation gave her praise. Soon, though, she will overtake him.
"If you have to say that there is any special skill, I think the basic skill is one." Lanli recalled the years when he was still studying in school. There was no shortcut to basic skills training. Every student had to abandon himself, start learning from the most basic emotions, start practicing from the simplest animal simulation, and polish his understanding of performance bit by bit.
"Then..." Lan Li raised the script in his hand, "and read the script well?"
Jennifer's eyes stay in the blue between the eyebrows, she knows, blue is serious, this is not a joke. Although it sounds like a joke, basic skills and script, every actor knows that it's not a special skill at all; But it's also the most important truth, just that many actors are too eager for quick success and instant benefit, just like Hollywood. They want to become acting masters in one night, but they turn a blind eye to such truth.
