Ten minutes.
This wasn't the time Lan Li needed to talk, but the time reserved for Melissa to buffer.
Lan Li wasn't sure if that was enough, but the crew didn't have much time left.
This art theater is a temporary rental location for the crew, just to be able to create that retro texture realistically. The movie theater learned that it was used for filming, and the owner generously provided the filming space at a very low price, but the crew knew that this meant that the movie theater had to be closed for a whole day, and the loss was really not small.
In order to reduce the loss of the cinema, the crew chose to shoot during the day, and as far as possible, all work was completed before the start of the prime time in the evening, so as to ensure that the evening scene of the cinema could still be carried out normally. This is also a little bit of the heart of the independent small crew.
However, "Burst Drummer" still has a lot of theatrical scenes, and Damien wants to shoot it all in a day, which means they have to speed up the schedule and have a low margin for error. The strained capital chain has caused a chain effect, so everyone knows that the difficulties of independent crews are reflected in all aspects after they are put into filming.
So, ten minutes. Whether Melissa can do it or not, that's the time she has, and if she still can't do it, then Lan Li is a man of his word and does what she says.
This is the profession of the actor industry, and it is also the coldness of the actor industry.
Some actors, in order to hold a scene, may take several hours, or even a whole day, so that the entire crew has nothing to do and waits aside, and the resulting cost loss is really a headache for the producer. The premise is that these actors have such an ability, which makes the crew wait, otherwise, they will be out on the spot, without thinking twice, and may even be blacklisted, which is widely known in the entire industry.
Ten minutes, fleeting.
The crew was still resting, waiting for Damien's signal, and the drama manager cautiously came over to ask Lan Li, "Ten minutes have arrived, it still needs a little time, or ......"
Lan Li simply stood up neatly, "I'm ready, let everyone take action, let's start shooting now." ”
Since Lan Li said this, the whole crew started to run again, and Melissa, who was standing at the counter, suddenly became cramped, but this time she did not completely collapse, but turned around, quickly took care of herself, and then turned around again, looked at the oncoming Lan Li, and forced herself to straighten her waist, showing a positive and strong appearance.
Lan Li stood calmly in front of the counter, only half an arm's length away from Melissa.
Melissa was still avoiding Lan Li's gaze, and despite her efforts to puff up her chest, her erratic gaze still revealed her true emotions.
Lan Li's eyebrows frowned slightly, and he felt that they still needed to communicate a little further and complete a conversation between the characters. It's all about work, and it's all about work.
"Look at me. Lan Li said in a deep voice, but Melissa's gaze was still moving, and Lan Li's words did not stop, "I like you, you must know this." I'm having a crush on you, wholeheartedly, but I lack the self-confidence and the courage to just talk to you, and this step has consumed all my faith. I don't think I'm worthy of you, I think you're a wonderful being, and I want you to be able to face up to my existence, even if it's a very, very small possibility. ”
It's not Lan Li, it's Andrew.
Melissa was slightly stunned, she didn't expect it, she didn't expect it at all, and unconsciously raised her gaze and looked at the man in front of her.
Those light brown eyes were as calm as water, rippling with a shallow light, faintly revealing a hint of shyness and restraint, which made Melissa's entire brain pause, unable to think, unable to function, and completely entered the world of Lan Li - she couldn't tell who was in front of her, but involuntarily began to sink.
"I need you to look at me as I do now. I am showing my sincerity, without any protection, without any hypocrisy, it is not easy, but this is the only thing I can do, I stand in front of you timidly and sincerely, and beg you to give me a chance to have a date, and then, I will do my best to impress you, because this is my sincerest hope. ”
Melissa froze completely, her sincere words as if by magic, and when she heard her own voice ring, "Okay." She was startled by herself, only to realize that her instincts/abilities had already responded before her brain could react.
Is that really good?
"Yes, just keep it that way. Lan Li continued, chucking his head slightly, "Remember, you are the one who has the initiative. ”
Melissa couldn't help but feel a stir, she realized at this time that everything just now was Andrew's confession, not Lan Li's, but she stupidly blurred the line between reality and illusion, and actually had a stupid illusion of "Lan Li's confession", and now she came back to her senses.
But even if she came back to her senses, she still couldn't pull out, because the sincerity in those eyes was so warm and pure, it always lingered in her mind, Melissa nodded ignorantly, but she couldn't make a sound.
Looking at the man in front of her again, she couldn't tell the difference, was it Lan Li or Andrew in front of her?
Lan Li turned around, made an "OK" gesture towards Damien, made sure everything was back to normal, and then stepped out of the camera, the whole scene had to start from the beginning.
Damien took a deep breath, and after confirming with his eyes that all departments were ready, he didn't even confirm Melissa's status, and shouted again, "Start shooting!"
Andrew's footsteps were a little hesitant, the short distance from the door to the counter, but the pace was never smooth, he opened his shoulders slightly, let his shoulders and back stand up, the restrained and introverted shyness was quietly hidden, showing the advantages of the slender body, and the whole person became youthful and confident.
It's just that the wandering gaze still leaks his nervousness and apprehension.
The footsteps stopped in front of the counter, but Andrew didn't speak immediately, he noticed Nicole's welcoming customer's gaze, and had to force himself to smile and say hello, but the focus of his eyes was always around, and his inner thoughts were hidden in those small movements, "Hey." ”
"Hey, hello. Nicole still smiled brightly and greeted.
"You...... Hello, how are you?" Andrew was a little confused, his left hand awkwardly and stiffly inserted in his pocket, trying to show that he was chic, but it was really not an easy task, even if he maintained a movement, the jerkiness of his body movements still leaked his nervousness and helplessness, all directly reflected in the words: stammering, intermittent. Even the standing posture became awkward.
"I'm fine, thank you. Nicole replied with a smile.
Silence, an awkward atmosphere slowly spread in the silence, Andrew's eyes unconsciously drifted to the side, as if he was looking at the popcorn machine not far away, and then exploring the brand of that machine, and the completely stiff movements looked like hanging on a hanger, not natural at all.
Nicole didn't know why, but just fulfilled her work obligations, she leaned forward slightly, trying to make sure the other party's gaze was focused, and reminded in a loud voice, "Routinely?"
"Ah, no......" Andrew came back to his senses, but this time, his eyes were cast on the glass of the counter, as if he was observing the placement of the cash register, "You see, I don't know much about the general situation...... How...... Uh......" Andrew lowered his gaze completely, obviously facing Nicole, but never made any eye contact, as if he was just talking to himself, "I see you here a lot, I think you ...... Well...... Very beautiful......"
Cautiously, Andrew raised his gaze and looked at Nicole, the apprehension in his eyes revealed a touch of vulnerability and hesitation, but he still nodded heavily - although he didn't know why he nodded, this action seemed to increase his courage, and the words finally came out, "Will you go out on a date with me?"
Andrew showed a big smile, but only the corners of his mouth were raised, but there was no smile in his eyes at all, because he was so nervous that the smile seemed to be squeezed out of a model in a toothpaste advertisement, but he was trying, trying to show his most handsome side.
That kind of youth and ignorance makes people feel the joy of thousands of butterflies flapping their wings.
"Ever?" Andrew squeezed out an adverb from the corners of his stiff mouth, and the coherent thing was: Would you like to go out on a date with me even once? Or would you never go out on a date with me?
The unconfident apprehension and hesitation made his expression extremely distorted, but it showed the youthful tension and excited uneasiness vividly.
The smile on the corner of Nicole's mouth converged, and she looked at Andrew with a straight face, in silence, and then you could see that the smile on the corner of Andrew's mouth slowly stiffened, and the light under her eyes gradually dimmed, and the whole person exuded a sense of lost fear and panic.
"Please leave. Nicole said calmly, as if she was rejecting a pestering, stalking/idiot/man.
Andrew froze in place, his eyes and expression stiffened slightly, the drowning panic came in an instant, his hands stiffened helplessly at his sides, his straight spine was crumbling at a speed visible to the naked eye, and all his confidence collapsed like this.
