It was another day when the shooting was completed. Today, the atmosphere of the whole crew was a little lively, not only because the shooting in the afternoon went very smoothly, but even finished 20 minutes ahead of schedule; Also because of Eliot's unexpected appearance, the "cancer fighting me" crew inadvertently got a free publicity opportunity, which is really valuable for independent film crew.
After Jonathon announced the end of today's work, there was a lot of discussion. There were a lot of people who wanted to go to the bar for a drink in the evening to relax and respond.
However, Lan Li is not one of them.
He felt a bit heavy all over. Although the shooting in the afternoon went very smoothly, his performance was still excellent, and there was no vomiting again; But all over the body there is a lingering sense of fatigue, people can not lift the energy, the head is a dull pain did not help. He needs to go back early and have a good rest.
After greeting Seth, Jonathan and others, lanli and Nathan went back first.
On the way back from the hospital, Nathan looked at blue Li carefully through the rearview mirror. Lan Li's physical condition is not good. People with good eyesight can see that he doesn't even need make-up when he is on the camera. His pale face is full of tiredness and disease color. The whole person faintly lost a circle, which makes people worried.
Nathan wanted to help, but he didn't know how to start. He can only tightly shut his mouth, keep the car quiet, so that lanli can enjoy a moment of peace.
It's about 30 minutes' drive, not as far as you think. Nathan parked his car in the parking space by the side of the road. Before he could speak, he saw lanli open the door and go straight to the door of the apartment.
Tired footstep appears a little heavy, bleak cold wind outlines the weak line of shoulder, dark blue jacket seems to be unable to resist the cold of Seattle, the long gray sky seems to be able to swallow up the lonely back at any time, which makes Nathan's tongue a little bitter.
Isn't "cancer fighting me" a comedy movie? Why is lenley's shooting so hard, as if he was burning his life to finish his daily work?
Nathan turns off the car, and then quickly follows in the footsteps of Langley, his eyes full of worry. Nathan took the initiative to step forward, took out the key to open the door, and then pushed the door open. He saw Andy Rogers sitting in the hall. There was no time to say hello, Nathan just nodded, and then gave way to let lenley in.
Lanli walks into the hall, and then he sees Andy. He retracts his jaw, but he doesn't say much. He goes straight to the sofa, slowly goes to the sofa, sits down, raises his legs, lies on the sofa, closes his eyes, and begins to rest.
That light action seems to be cautious, as if for fear of startling the dust floating in the air. It is meticulous and consistent, without too much force, not too much range, and can't hear any sound. It's like performing a mime, and the faint loneliness leaks out in every move.
Andy's mouth pauses slightly, and his eyes show a little doubt. He looks up at Nathan and asks. Nathan shook his head slightly, and the sadness between his eyebrows was clearly conveyed, expressing his worry.
Andy's heart sank. It was worse than he thought.
Recently, Langley's physical condition is not very good. Nathan has been reporting to him for the first time, which is really worrying. That's why he came to Seattle specially. Otherwise, it's the rush time for the Oscars, the busiest period of every year, and Andy can't draw at all.
But now it seems that Andy understands that the language is too pale to describe Langley's condition.
"Are you all right, Langley?" Andy looks at lanli, considers his tone, and asks anxiously.
Lan Li didn't open his eyes, but he could see the corners of his mouth rising slightly. "Someone asked me this question in the afternoon." What Langley said was the shooting content of "anti cancer me" and the psychological consultation of Adam and Catherine, "I would like to give a positive answer, but it is estimated that it is more difficult."
There is a trace of humor in the self ridicule, which is a typical blue rite style. However, after a little joke, his smile slightly closed, "I have a headache now. If you can, can I have a rest first? "
Polite and gentleman's words, but there is a trace of firm can not be refused, faint can smell his fatigue and impatience.
This kind of lanli is familiar, but strange. Andy looks up again and looks at Nathan, but Nathan shrugs. It seems that he is not surprised.
Andy hesitated for a moment, or said with concern, "what's the matter, Langley? Are you not feeling well? Do you need a break? Or do you need a comprehensive examination? "
Lan Li's mouth gently sipped, "yes, I need to rest, but you are still talking." The sharp words, less usual banter and banter, become gentle, but listen to in the ear, it makes people feel very uncomfortable, the atmosphere for a time a little embarrassed.
Andy adjusted his posture, hesitated. If it's normal, then Andy will turn around and leave, let lanli have a good rest, because under normal circumstances, lanli will not make unreasonable demands; But now the situation is very special, such lanli is really unpredictable, Andy is very worried, really worried.
"Langley, you know what I mean." Andy's smile was still on the corner of his mouth, but his expression became sincere. "I mean, I can discuss with the crew and let you have a rest. Your health is more important than your work. "
"Oh." The corner of lanli's mouth overflowed with a smile, but it was not joy and joy, but ridicule and disdain, "it's not like you, Andy. For the agent, the most important thing is the artist, but more important is the interests. All of a sudden, he became so friendly and kind that the style of the agent disappeared
Andy's expression was slightly stiff, but he didn't lose his temper. Years of self-cultivation allowed him to maintain enough calm and composure. What's more, he knew that Langley's current state was really bad, which could be called full fire. On the contrary, Andy's eyes flashed a bit of bitterness. It seems that he also needs to go through the firepower that journalists have suffered before.
"Langley, we're just worried about you." Nathan's self-cultivation is not at home, some urgently said.
"Are you worried about my form, or are you worried that I'm too bad to attend the Oscars?" Lanli's harsh words mercilessly give Nathan a heavy blow. Nathan just stays where he is and can't react for a moment. Even Andy is surprised.
This kind of Lan Li is not only strange, but also beyond recognition.
Usually, Lan Li is always a gentleman, not only in his behavior, but also in his speaking style and manner; But in front of Lan Li, there was an uncontrollable anger. Under the calm surface, people could clearly feel the raging anger in his chest.
Even a little cynical.
This is not the Langley that Andy knows, but it's the first time that Andy sees Langley out of control. Is this the real face of lanli? Andy shakes his head and denies the idea before it comes out. There must be other reasons. Then Andy's idea was confirmed——
"Sorry." Lan Li's voice came over, the faint words were full of frustration, and his whole body was full of frustration.
Lan Li rubbed the sore temple, and the twitch feeling of the blue tendons leaping suddenly came one after another, as if pulling the nerves of his whole body to become tense. There was a nameless fire in his heart, which could not be controlled at all. Even Lan Li didn't feel comfortable with himself.
In his last life, after he really realized that he was paralyzed in a high position, he went through such a stage. That kind of inexplicable anger dominated his brain. Anything, anyone, any small detail, even if it was just an action, could easily irritate him. He let his anger out to everyone regardless of others' kindness and friendliness, In his opinion, it's just sympathy.
However, the feeling of losing control has been too long. Unexpectedly, he felt the anger again.
He knew that this time, not as Chu Jiashu, but as Adam, he finally realized the impact of cancer. The side effect of chemotherapy is that on the one hand, the body begins to lose control. On the other hand, fear and irritability begin to break the original law of life and the original emotional balance.
"Sorry." He repeated, "I shouldn't have said that. What I said just now is a real jerk. Please forgive me for losing control. " Hands gently rub the temple, but the sharp and hot pain can not be eliminated, as if the whole person was grilled on the flame.
Andy and Nathan look at each other. They are just ordinary people, not doctors or psychotherapists. They don't know how to deal with the current situation.
In the end, Andy can only tentatively say, "what happened? You look like you're suffering. What's going on? Is it a matter of emotion? " Although lanli never mentioned that he has a date now, this is the most reliable guess in Andy's mind. "Lanli, talk to me and tell me that only when I know, I can help. If you keep silent, then things will never be solved."
"I need to rest, that's the root of the problem." Langley's voice became impatient again. "You didn't come to Seattle for my personal problems, did you? So, if there's anything, just say it directly. There's no need to beat around the bush. If it's about the Oscars, then I can tell you I'm not going to be there
"What?" Andy was shocked. He didn't expect things to go like this. Even though he has been through a lot of battles, he is a little confused now.
