239 Critical Danger Point
In the narrow kitchen, the crackling sound of the oil pan was echoing, which was supposed to bring the warmth of the family, but there was a lingering tiredness between Anna's eyebrows, and even the tight shoulder line drooped, and she looked at the zucchini in front of her absentmindedly, she should continue to chop vegetables, but she froze in place and did not move. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Jacob returned from the bathroom. Hearing the movement, Anna turned her head sideways and glanced at Jacob, but Jacob's gaze did not turn to Anna at all, but walked straight behind Anna, back to back.
Jacob walked to the small dining table next to him, picked up his phone, and Sam had just sent a text message: Sam was still his assistant in the studio, and when he was in London, Sam was temporarily in charge of all the work in the studio.
After confirming the text message, Jacob put the phone back in and heard Anna's voice in his ear, "So you have a very good relationship with your colleague." ”
Jacob turned around, his eyes showing doubt, "Uh...... What do you mean?" his voice was full of exhaustion, and instead of arguing with Anna, he sat down against the wall, slowly, as if every muscle in his body was moaning, and the excitement between his eyebrows fainted under the milky yellow light.
"Why didn't you tell me that you still had a relationship with her before?" Anna turned around, turned her back to Jacob, picked up the knife again, and began to cut the zucchini.
Jacob picked up his red wine glass, and when he heard this, he paused slightly, raised his right hand holding the wine glass, and gently rubbed his temples with the tips of his thumb, and the heaviness of irritability and fatigue spread between his gestures - he didn't even bother to use his left hand to do what he had just done, and exhaled softly, "Why are you looking at my phone?"
"I didn't check your phone. Anna's voice rose unnaturally, and she turned sideways, waving her right hand holding a knife, explaining, "I'll walk over, and your text message just pops up like that." Anna chuckled dryly, hiding her embarrassment and jerkiness, "It's not that difficult......
"My text message just popped up like that?" Jacob interrupted Anna's words, and his voice involuntarily rose up, and he said incredulously, the mockery and anger between the words were deliberately suppressed, but became more and more obvious.
"Yes, I can see ......" Anna turned around again and awkwardly picked up the zucchini in her hand, as if to confirm that the cut was appropriate, but only to hide her panic, "Not so...... You don't need to be Einstein. Tell me what the hell is going on between you. ”
Jacob tilted his head and looked at Anna's back with a feeble expression, his brows full of exhaustion, and he didn't want to continue arguing at all. He slowed his tone and said slowly, word by word, "Nothing. ”
But the slow tone betrayed his impatience and weariness, and Anna put down the knife and turned to face Jacob again, "Why can't you just say it?
"I said, nothing. Jacob played with his wine glass with both hands, closed his eyes, and rested his head against the wall, trying to calm his tone, but it worked badly.
"There's obviously something going on between you and her. Anna did not give in, folded her hands on her chest, leaned against the edge of the stove, and said firmly.
"I ......" Jacob's anger surged up, and after he said a word, he gritted his teeth and tried to calm himself down, but failed, and he simply put the red wine glass on the table, but his fingers did not seem to obey, and he actually picked up the wine glass again, "There is nothing between me and her!"
He propped his hands on his knees and said in a firm tone. However, Anna did not believe it at all.
"You have nothing to do with her?"
"No! not at all!"
"Not even a little bit between you?"
"Absolutely not!"
"You're lying. ”
The fragments of your words came and went, she interrupted him, he interrupted her, and finally Anna made a judgment with disdain, which made Jacob's chest clench, and he stood up, picked up his phone, and tried to say something, only to find that whatever he said was wrong.
He drooped his shoulders, spread his hands, and stood face to face with Anna, "Don't check my phone anymore......" He looked into Anna's eyes, but couldn't hold on, then lowered his eyes, raised his head and let out a long breath, and sat down in the chair directly opposite Anna again, the exhaustion that emanated from his body seemed to be unable to support even a second, "It's just...... I mean...... "Every time he spoke, he stopped talking, lest he say something inappropriate, and finally gave up and lowered his hands," which only made you more and more suspicious. ”
"Then why didn't you tell me......," Anna was unwilling to give up easily, and she continued unrelentingly, "There is still a feeling between you and her?"
"I don't feel anything between her and me!" Jacob finally got tired of explaining, and his anger burst through his throat and he raised his voice.
"There's obviously a feeling between you and her!" Anna raised her voice and pushed back without backing down.
"No! I don't feel it at all!" Jacob gritted his teeth, his voice squeezing out word by word.
"Yes!" Anna replied in a wall-to-wall manner, ignoring Jacob's justification that "she works with me" and directly accused, "I read your text messages!"
"She!you!" Jacob's words were stuck in his throat, and he grinded his teeth hard and roared angrily, "You shouldn't be reading my text messages!"
"Don't shout! don't shout!" Anna pressed her left hand, motioning for Jacob to be quiet.
Jacob raised his right hand, covering his entire forehead, rubbed his temples with his thumb and forefinger, his voice regained his calm, and said softly, "You shouldn't be reading my text messages." ”
But Anna changed the subject, "Why are you yelling at me?"
"I'm sorry I yelled. Jacob closed his eyes and apologized.
"Don't be angry with me. "If you keep shouting, everyone else will be drawn in. ”
Looking at Anna in front of him, Jacob only felt unbelievable, truly unbelievable, shook his head helplessly, simply put the red wine on the table, and refused to continue the conversation.
But Anna was also irritated by Jacob's nonchalant attitude, "It's important, if someone else comes." With that, Anna turned around with a disappointed look on her face and turned her back to Jacob.
This time it was Jacob's turn to get angry, his eyes widened, and he stared at Anna's back, "Who's coming? Simon?" his voice rose uncontrollably again, but this time, silence awaited him, a dead silence.
"Cards!"
Drake's voice interrupted the tension in the air, neither Lan Li nor Felicity moved, the scene was not over yet, but Drake called a timeout, which also meant that something was wrong with their performance.
Sure enough, Drake stepped forward, gathered his thoughts for a moment, and then spoke, "Jacob, your anger is still not enough. His voice was thick nasal, and there were even some big tongues, but everyone was used to it, "That sudden outburst of anger, the strength is still lacking, I don't think you are committed enough today." I need more, more!"
"Anna, your emotional contrast is not obvious enough. With the filming during this time, Drake gradually entered the state, and the two actors were called by their names in the play. "You're not in the right shape today, you're questioning Jacob, not just because there's something to doubt, but also because you're starting to get irritable and you're feeling tired. Compared to Jacob, your emotions are so weak, so weak that I can't even feel it, the balance of this scene has been completely snatched away by Jacob, I need you to come to your senses!"
Drake looked at Felicity and then at Lan Li, his voice extremely hoarse, "I know the filming of this scene is very difficult, do you need to rest and adjust?"
Lan Li shrugged his shoulders and did not speak, the irritability of exhaustion to the extreme, which continued from the film to life, and Felicity lowered her head, did not say a word, and refused to communicate at all. Drake stood next to him, looking helpless, and then took a deep breath, "Okay, then a minute, a minute later we'll shoot again!"
Today's scene is indeed crucial, it is a tipping point, a tipping point in the love relationship between Anna and Jacob.
Anna and Jacob got married, and then Jacob kept going back and forth between London and Los Angeles, and they kept communicating and appealing with the U.S. Embassy in London, hoping to get a visa for Anna, hoping that the two of them could travel back and forth between the two countries freely. As for where you should settle in the future, we will discuss it after the visa is issued.
However, things did not go well, and they went around and around for two years and still did not solve the problem.
This time, the two were rejected by the embassy again, and the long hours of hard work without seeing any light in sight made both of them physically and mentally exhausted. Sitting in Anna's apartment, the two began to get into an argument.
Sam had texted Jacob earlier, mentioned his work, and said, "I miss you, when can you come back to Los Angeles." Jacob didn't give Sam a response, just talked about work. But Jacob's absent-minded performance made Anna suspicious, so she peeked at Jacob's text message, which led to the above quarrel.
But in fact, Anna is also full of loopholes. When Jacob asks if Anna and Simon are in a relationship, Anna can't answer. This puts the two in an endless loop:
Is there any point in their efforts? They all have their own lives, and their persistent efforts are always rejected, so they keep tossing back and forth, is there any meaning? How much love is left between them? Or more accurately, what are they entangled with each other for, between Anna and Simon, between Jacob and Sam, so what, is it love? or companionship?
It's a tipping point, and both men are struggling to hold on to their relationship, but it's already in jeopardy.
