Chapter 551： Clownfish

Since ending the North American promotion of "Attack of the Clones", Natalie has been busy with the post-production of the short film in the editing room of Jenkins Pictures. Although it is only a 15-minute short film, the post-production is often more expensive than the shooting. More energy.

In particular, Natalie and Scarlett have taken a total of more than 300 minutes of footage intermittently in more than two months. It is necessary to select a suitable picture from them and edit them together. It must be paid. Fan hard.

When Ryan knocked on the door to enter the editing room, Natalie was sitting next to the filming machine to rest, and two editors were busy.

"How much is done." Ryan picked up the coffee pot on the table, walked over to Natalie, poured out the cold coffee in her cup, and replaced the hot one. "Is it going well today?"

"Thank you."

After smoothing the dangling curly hair back to her head, Natalie picked up the coffee cup and took a sip, "The total progress has exceeded two-thirds. It is estimated that there will be no problem in completing it before the start of school."

She rubbed her forehead and saw that the two editors had finished their work, and waved to them, "Molly, and Danny, come here today, thank you."

"You're welcome, Miss Portman." The two editors voluntarily left.

Putting down the coffee pot, Ryan turned behind Natalie, took off her hand, put the thumb and index finger of both hands on her forehead, gently twisting, Natalie slowly closed her eyes. Seems to enjoy this moment.

"Why are you so good today?" She whispered softly.

"Did I treat you badly before?". Leaning over and kissing her white ears, Ryan laughed, "Time flies so fast. You will graduate from Harvard next year. Are you ready to settle in Los Angeles, Nat?"

"There is still a year left." Natalie took Ryan's palm, put her face in his palm, and slowly rubbed it. "I only think about one thing now, how can I complete my first short film."

"This job is much harder than I thought." She sighed softly.

"everything will get better."

The palm of his hand slashed over the iconic mole, and Ryan turned to look at the neatly arranged film, and asked, "Nate, have you thought about the title of the short film?".

"Yeah." The girl nodded and grabbed the hand that Ryan was sliding down. "The protagonist is the coffee shop waiter played by Scarlett. All the scenes will also be limited to the coffee shop, called "Coffee." ."

"Coffee?" Ryan knew that the short film roughly used Scarlett's eyes. Customers through the coffee shop reflected some of Natalie’s perceptions of life, "mellow and bitter..."

"Life is like coffee." Natalie stood up suddenly, threw Ryan's hand back, packed her bag, and said, "It smells mellow and tastes bitter, but she is reluctant to give up in her hand. Every extra sugar. A spoonful of milk will bring different tastes and changes. It is difficult to find the most suitable taste, and every taste can be tolerated."

"This is the theme of the short film?" Ryan squeezed his chin. "Sounds great."

Natalie shrugged and opened the door of the editing room. "Let's go next door."

"Next door?" Ryan walked out first, unconsciously looking at the door next door. Natalie closed the door and pulled him downstairs, "Taylor is going to Pixar. It should be accompanied by Christine to see the clownfish."

The neighbor of Jenkins Pictures is the Pixar Studio after the move. The three square buildings are connected by an air corridor. The iconic lamp at the door is the best representative of Pixar Studio’s corporate culture. This is an animation and A world of free creativity.

Even if it became a subsidiary of Walt Disney, Pixar Studios did not actually change too much. The company's mailbox is still the original mailbox. Infringement and free creation are flooding every corner of the office building, even the company. On the sign at the door, there is no mark of Disney.

Entering the open, playground-like staff leisure plaza, Ryan felt as if he had come to the aquarium, where dozens of huge water tanks were erected, among them are some fish belonging to the Pacific Ocean, and even a few can be seen. A small shark and a huge turtle.

Of course, the clownfish is the most.

Although the production of "Finding Nemo" has entered the late stage, there are still a large number of Pixar employees, either turning around here, or standing in front of a transparent water tank, concentrating on observing these underwater creatures. Every move.

The two little girls also stood in front of a huge aquarium, commenting on the starfish and clownfish inside.

Among them, the slightly shorter one with brown hair is Kristen Stewart. As she gets older, her tomboy appearance is gradually degenerating.

As for the other one, the body supported by the two long legs is five feet four inches high. The long hair of honey gold is curly like a Japanese instant noodles, with a tall nose, deep sunken eye sockets and disappearing. Babies are all showing their own style, and those smart sapphire blue eyes, occasionally glancing to the side, will always flash a sly light.

Especially those golden eyebrows, just like her character, raised high from the inside to the outside.

Taylor has grown up, almost equal to Natalie.

Pulling Natalie, Ryan walked to the back of the little girl. From the faint reflection in the aquarium, you could see Tyler's bent eyes and the corners of his mouth. It was obvious that she also saw who was behind.

"Honey, are they beautiful?" Ryan stood beside Tyler.

"It's okay." The little girl put her arms around her chest, tilted her head and said, "I'm not here to see them."

"Then what are you doing here?" Ryan was surprised.

Taylor did not answer, stepped back and stood in front of Natalie. After she was taller than the Long Island girl, her eyes almost disappeared. When Natalie smiled and pinched her face, she said, " I'm here to accompany Christine, don't you know?".

"Know what?" Ryan couldn't help looking at Kristen Stewart.

"Mr. Stanton chose me to voice Nemo." She gave the answer directly, and pointed to a clownfish in the aquarium. "So, I came here to observe their habits."

"Originally, I also participated in the audition." Tyler grabbed Natalie's arm and leaned forward again. "But Andrew didn't choose me."

"Why?" Natalie sorted her curly hair, which was a bit scattered.

"I said my voice is too feminine, not suitable." Taylor suddenly waved a small fist. "Fortunately, it is Christine who won, otherwise I will show Andrew Stanton a good look."

"Christine is busy now."

Tyler was obviously more sensible than before. She looked at the quiet surroundings, holding Ryan in one hand, Natalie in the other, and shook her head to Christine, and walked towards the eating area of ​​the building, "Nothing here. Suitable for talking, let's change place."

Walking out of the leisure plaza and entering the corridors with people coming and going, the little girl greeted some people familiarly, apparently very familiar with the people at Pixar.

"Christine will be dubbing for Nemo in the next few months, and filming "Very Little Spy"." Taylor continued talking about the topic, "Time must be tight."

"I will let someone adjust her schedule." Ryan rubbed Kristen's curly hair. "Honey, you are about to become a little superhero."

"Then I will save the world."

Several people smiled and entered the eating area at the same time. Tyler took Ryan and sat at the table in front of the glass window, then ran to the counter with Christine, and brought four banana boats.

"The ice cream here is very unique." She sat across from Ryan.

"I still remember it a few years ago." Ryan helped Natalie take apart the disposable spoon. "You were still arguing about taking home all Pixar's ice cream."

"I was young at that time, but I'm now grown up." The little girl waved to her face, as if to forget all those past events, "I'm as tall as Nat now, I've grown up."

"Grow up?" The little girl was stunned, pushed the banana boat in front of him to Ryan's side, and quickly pulled out the notebook and pen from the bag.

Ryan and others were stunned, not knowing what she was going to do.

Taylor scratched the notebook for a while, and then solemnly put it into his bag.

"Did something happen, dear?" Ryan pushed the banana boat back to her.

"I just thought of a melody just now." Taylor picked up the spoon, took a sip of ice cream, and put it in his mouth, like a little lady. "Didn't you say it, Ryan, when the inspiration comes, you need to write it down." , So I won’t forget it.”

A few people were eating and chatting Taylor and Christine's words often brought them a joyous atmosphere, and laughter continued.

"After finishing my music class recently, I will come here to find Christine." Taylor said of the Pixar animation results that I saw recently. "We have not only watched "Finding Nemo" which is almost finished, but also watched "Looking for Nemo". "Superman Family", although there is no dubbing and soundtrack."

"Then which one do you think is better?" Natalie asked.

"Of course it is "Looking for Nemo"." Christine said first, and Taylor also nodded his head. "The completed fragments of "The Superman Family" are too few. "Looking for Nemo" is Ryan's story again."

Then, she looked at Ryan with a grin, "This story is really peculiar. A psychologically shadowed dad, a rebellious son, and an amnesia-defying girlfriend. In order to find a son, my dad and his girlfriend started out once. The adventurous travel not only proved the greatness of family affection, but also contributed to the beginning of a love."

"Is this your opinion?". Ryan put down the spoon.

"Of course not." The little girl curled her lips. "This is what Mr. Andrew Stanton told me." (To be continued...) ()
