"Blue, Matthew's here."
Nathan said softly, but lanli still kept his eyes closed and didn't respond. It was like falling asleep again and didn't know what was going on outside. Even lightning and thunder couldn't wake him up, which made Nathan scratch his head and turn to try to explain to Matthew.
But Matthew just shook his head slightly to show that he understood. Then he gave Nathan a look and said in a low voice, "give us some space."
Nathan responded that Matthew knew more about Langley than he did. He gave Matthew an apologetic smile, scratched his head foolishly, turned away and gently closed the door.
Standing in the corridor of the hotel, Nathan suddenly remembers that Matthew has not been informed of the shooting schedule tonight, and lanli still has a part to shoot; But then Nathan patted his head. Matthew was more punctual than he was, and he knew better than he did how to get Randy out of bed. He didn't need to worry about it.
Thinking of this, Nathan let go and walked towards the restaurant. The filming preparation of "lobster" crew has been simplified to the extreme
There is no need for dimming, because photographers and lighters will find ways to use natural light; Do not need make-up, because all the actors all plain appearance; There's no need for styling, because all the costumes have been determined... Which also means that as long as the actors are present, the shooting can begin.
The only trouble is fresh scripts and three meals a day. Thinking of the restaurant, Nathan began to wonder: what's the menu for dinner today?
……
As he watched the door close, Matthew came to the end of the bed. All his footsteps disappeared in the carpet, as if he didn't exist; Then he leaned on the desk with his back and watched lanli quietly. He knew that it would take a little time to start lanli after he got up; He also knew that lanli needed this moment of peace, so he didn't rush to speak, but patiently counted the passage of time in his heart.
"Well..." there was a low voice in lanli's throat, as if boiling water was boiling. "How much time do I have left?"
"Twenty five minutes? I guess. When I just entered the hotel, the crew was preparing for dinner, and the shooting equipment had been placed at the entrance of the lobby. " Matthew said calmly, "but before the shooting starts, there are some things I need to tell you."
thing?
Lanli didn't open his mouth. He was still sitting and closing his eyes, waiting for the next passage. But time was passing by, and he still didn't wait. This is unusual because Matthew knew him well enough. If something happened, he would open his mouth directly, and there was no need to wait patiently. But the problem is that Matthew didn't open his mouth.
So, blue Li finally opened his eyes, through the hazy vision, vaguely outlined Matthew's figure, "... Did you come from London?" Lanli's voice was a little hoarse. It should be that the heating in the room was too sufficient and there was a slight lack of water. Then you can see that Matthew handed a water cup. Lanli took it and drank more than half of the glass continuously, which eased down a little. "Why did you come all of a sudden, and didn't say it in advance?"
At this point, lanli slightly tilted his head, "wait, this is your first time to visit the crew, isn't it? I mean, officially. Why do you suddenly get curious? " With a smile in his eyes, he looked up and down at Matthew. "Shall I show you around the cast?"
"Randy, Edith's lost contact."
Matthew's voice was like the collision of cold porcelain, so it was cold and quiet and made a soft sound. He knew that there was no tactful way or right way to deal with it. In any case, the injury would happen. He had to tell Lan Li, and the only choice was to tear open the band aid, clean and vigorous. So Matthew threw out the answer.
Lanli's right hand holding the water cup pauses slightly for a moment, and his ears seem to be able to catch the sonorous sound coming from outside the window.
Then, Lan Li picked up the glass again, poured all the warm water left in the glass into his throat, and said calmly, "isn't that common? There's nothing to be surprised about. "
Lanli put the water cup on the bedside table, lifted the quilt, walked out of the bed, and then stood beside the bed, "before in Los Angeles, she didn't like to answer the phone at any time, and then lost contact for a period of time. Last month, because she lost contact for a long time, the American captain went to Orlando to ask her whereabouts, which is her style."
"Not to mention Turkey?"
"Don't Hollywood movies always perform like this? In the battlefield environment, because there is no signal tower, they can't dial the international telephone at all, so they have to take the traditional brick telephone of the 1990s and complete the contact through satellite. If there is a little confusion, they may not be able to contact. This is a common occurrence. "
Lanli's voice is very calm, no waves and no shaking. It's just because of her voice. She is a little hoarse, but he can't catch any emotion. He shrugs his shoulders and says lightly, "there's no need to make a fuss. Really, there's no need. She will laugh at us when she comes back, just like a group of idiots."
Then, lanli turns around and walks into the bathroom and turns on the shower.
Wow.
Wow.
The sound of the sprinkler broke the peace of the room, and then you can hear the sound of brushing your teeth. Lanli is washing step by step to prepare for today's shooting work, as if there is nothing to worry about and nothing to disturb his work.
But Matthew knew it wasn't that simple - Langley didn't look him in the eye from beginning to end. Langley is lying. He is deceiving him. He is deceiving himself.
"How's it going? Think about it? Is there any place you would like to visit? I have two plays tonight, but I can take time to show you around, because you are the most special one. I need to receive you personally and show caution. How about that? Are you particularly moved? "
Lan Li left the bathroom and wiped his hair with a bath towel. With a bright smile on his face, he asked briskly. He couldn't stop talking. Then he opened the wardrobe and began to search for the clothes he was shooting today, which could be continuous with yesterday's scenes.
"Look, does this wardrobe look familiar? It's done according to your style, arranged according to the color depth. The theme of this performance, learn from a lot of your style, ha, when you watch the movie, you should be able to produce some resonance, it is estimated that other patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder can also do it
Langley has a lot of extraneous words, even some unusual ones.
At the beginning of this year, when Langley was filming "Star Trek", he learned about Paul Walker's car accident, which almost destroyed Langley's willpower. During that time of torture and suffering, Matthew didn't know how Langley persisted; At the end of this year, lanli got another piece of bad news from the "lobster" crew. He couldn't imagine lanli's current mood, but even he felt extremely cruel.
However, Matthew must tell blue Li that this is his responsibility. Even if blue Li releases all his negative emotions to him, he must complete it.
"Lan Li." As soon as Matthew opened his mouth, he was interrupted eagerly by lanli. "By the way, we are going to shoot in the forest today. You should not like it very much..."
"Lan Li!" Ma Xiuyang raised a voice, but Lan Li still didn't stop, "... You're a cleanliness addict. You're always picky. You can't bear the environment of the forest."
"Lan Li." Matthew called for the third time. Lanli finally stopped. He slowly raised his eyes and landed on Matthew. His eyes were full of joy and despair. He looked at Matthew earnestly, as if he didn't hear the sound of the boot landing, and the bad news would never happen.
Matthew clenched his teeth and was about to surrender, but he said cruelly, "the Red Cross has tried all kinds of ways, but has never been able to contact her. Before that, she made a special trip to the front line. A large-scale explosion occurred in a village, resulting in a large number of civilian casualties. Among them, two BBC journalists were missing. She needed to go there to find out the specific situation, but after that, she lost contact. It has been four weeks since then. Then... "Speaking of this, Matthew's eyes could not help shaking. He had to take a deep breath again." the day before yesterday, there was a second explosion in that village. "
be quiet.
The whole room was quiet, even the sound of breathing disappeared, and the brain stopped working completely. There was only a buzzing sound in my ears.
"... so what did the peacekeepers find?" Lanli's voice was especially calm, even calm to some indifference. He couldn't feel the temperature at all, which made Matthew shiver.
"Not for the time being." Matthew replied, "for the time being, there is nothing. The peacekeepers have not been able to enter the village. They are still facing each other on the periphery of the region, so we don't know the situation for the time being." Matthew slowly closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and then said, "they are still blocking the news, no media can get it, but Arthur got the inside information, saying that... It was Edith's text reporter who had been killed and found his body. Other information, internal complete blockade, we have no way to get anything
Matthew just looked at lanli. Lanli didn't say or do anything, but his calm appearance made him afraid. He always felt that lanli was moving away, just like a broken kite. The farther he went, the farther he flew. That kind of feeling made him very uneasy, "lanli?"
"Well, I need to get ready. There's still work to be done tonight. Are you going to the set with me? Or stay in the hotel? Coming from London, with planes and cars, you must be tired. Do you need to stay here? "
Lanli was really calm. It was a bit frightening, as if nothing had happened.
