"Lan Li, Matthew is here. ”

Nathan said softly, but Lan Li still kept his eyes closed, and did not react, as if he fell asleep again, and he didn't know what was going on in the outside world, even lightning and thunder couldn't wake him up, which made Nathan scratch his head a little and turn his head to try to explain to Matthew.

But Matthew just shook his head slightly, signaling that he understood, then gave Nathan a look and said in a low voice, "Give us a little space." ”

Nathan then reacted - Matthew knew Lan Li better than he did, he smiled apologetically at Matthew, scratched his head stupidly, turned straight away, and gently closed the door.

Standing in the corridor of the hotel, Nathan suddenly remembered that he hadn't told Matthew about tonight's filming schedule, and Lan Li still had a filming scene, but then Nathan patted his head, Matthew was more punctual than him, and he knew how to get Lan Li up better than him, and he didn't need to worry about it.

Thinking of this, Nathan put his mind at ease and walked in the direction of the restaurant - the preparation for the filming of the "Lobster" crew has been streamlined to the extreme:

There is no need for dimming because the photographer and gaffer will find a way to use natural light, there is no need for make-up because all the actors are wearing no makeup, and there is no need for styling because all the outfits have already been decided...... This also means that as soon as the actors are present, the filming can begin.

The only trouble is the script that is freshly baked every day, and there are three meals a day. Thinking of the restaurant, Nathan couldn't help but wonder: what is the dinner menu today?

……

Seeing the door of the room close gently, Matthew came to the end of the bed, and all the footsteps disappeared into the carpet, as if he didn't exist, and then leaned lightly on the desk with his back, quietly watching Lan Li, he knew that Lan Li needed a little time to start after getting up, and he also knew that Lan Li needed this moment of tranquility, so he didn't hurry to speak, just patiently counted the passage of time in his heart.

"Hmm......" Lan Li's throat made a low sound, as if boiling water was bubbling and boiling, "How much time do I have left?"

"Twenty-five minutes? I guess. When I first entered the hotel, the crew was preparing for dinner, and the filming equipment was already placed at the entrance of the lobby. Matthew said calmly, "However, there are some things that need to be told to you before filming officially begins. ”

Thing?

Lan Li didn't speak, he still sat still, his eyes closed, waiting for the following, but the time was passing in his ears, and he still didn't wait, which was a bit unusual - because Matthew knew him well enough that if something happened, he would speak directly, and there was no need to continue to wait patiently, but the problem was that Matthew didn't speak.

So, Lan Li finally opened his eyes, and through the hazy line of sight, he sketched Matthew's figure in a daze, "...... You came here from London?" Lan Li's voice was slightly hoarse, it should be that the indoor heating was too sufficient, and there was a slight lack of water, and then you could see Matthew handing over a water cup, Lan Li took it and drank most of the cup in a row, which eased down a little, "Why did you come here suddenly and didn't say anything in advance?"

Speaking of this, Lan Li tilted his head slightly, "Wait, this is your first time visiting the crew, right? I mean, officially." Why are you suddenly curious?" There was a shallow smile in those eyes, and he looked Matthew up and down, "Do you need me to show you around the crew?"

"Lan Li, Edith is missing. ”

Matthew's voice was like cold porcelain colliding together, and it made a soft sound like it was cold and quiet. He knew that there was no tactful way or the right way to do this, no matter what, the damage would be generated, and he had to inform Lan Li, and the only choice was to tear up a sticker, simply and neatly. So, Matthew threw out the answer like this.

Lan Li's right hand holding the glass paused slightly, and his ears seemed to be able to catch the sonorous sound coming from the window.

Then, Lan Li picked up the glass again, poured all the remaining warm water from the cup into his throat without hurry, and said calmly, "Isn't this a common thing? ”

Lan Li put the water cup on the bedside table, lifted the quilt, stepped off the bed, and then stood next to the bed, "When she was in Los Angeles before, she didn't like to answer the phone at any time, and she lost contact for a while. ”

"And even more so in Turkey?"

"Isn't Hollywood movies always acting like this? In a war environment, because there are no cell towers, they can't make international calls at all, so they have to take the traditional brick phone of the 90s of the last century, and complete the contact through the satellite, and a little confusion, maybe they can't get in touch, which is a common occurrence. ”

Lan Li's voice was very calm, there were no waves or trembling, just because of his voice, and slightly hoarse, but he couldn't catch any emotional fluctuations, he shrugged his shoulders and said lightly, "There's no need to make a fuss, really, there's no need, she'll definitely laugh at us when she comes back, like a bunch of fools." ”

Then, Lan Li turned around and walked into the bathroom and turned on the shower head.

Bang la blah.

Bang la blah.

The sound of water in the sprinklers broke the silence in the room, and then the sound of brushing his teeth could be heard mixed in, and Lan Li was washing up in order, preparing for today's shoot, as if there was nothing to worry about, and nothing could disturb his work.

But Matthew knew that it wasn't that simple - Lan Li didn't look him in the eye from beginning to end. Lan Li was lying, he was deceiving him, and he was deceiving himself.

"How about it? Have you thought about it? Is there any place you want to visit? I have two scenes tonight, yes, but I can take you through them because you are the most special one, and I need to be cautious about receiving you in person, how about it?"

Lan Li left the bathroom, wiped his hair with a bath towel, asked briskly with a bright smile on his face, and couldn't stop chattering, and then he opened the wardrobe and began to rummage through his costumes for today's filming, which needed to be able to be together continuously with yesterday's scene.

"Look, does this wardrobe look familiar? It's organized according to your style, arranged in shades of color. The theme of this performance borrowed a lot from your style, ha, when the time comes to watch the movie, you should be able to resonate with it, I guess, other OCD patients can too. ”

Lan Li talked a lot, even a little unusually.

Matthew is also a little unbearable, at the beginning of this year, when Lan Li was filming "Interstellar", he learned that Paul Walker's car accident, which almost destroyed Lan Li's willpower, the torture and torment of that time, Matthew didn't know how Lan Li persevered, and at the end of this year, Lan Li learned another bad news in the "Lobster" crew, he couldn't imagine Lan Li's current mood, but even he felt extremely cruel.

However, Matthew must inform Lan Li that it is his responsibility, and even if Lan Li vents all the negative emotions on him, he must do it.

"Lan Li. Matthew had just opened his mouth when he was eagerly interrupted by Lan Li, "That's right, we're going to shoot in the forest today, you shouldn't like it very, very much......"

"Lan Li!" Matthew raised his voice, but Lan Li still didn't stop, "...... You are always picky, and you can't bear the environment of the forest. ”

"Lan Li. Matthew called out for the third time, and Lan Li finally stopped, slowly raised his eyes, and landed on Matthew's body, those eyes were full of joy and despair, and looked at Matthew earnestly, as if bad news would never happen without hearing the sound of the boots falling to the ground.

Matthew gritted his teeth lightly, and was almost about to surrender, but he still had a heart, and said cruelly, "The Red Cross has tried various methods, but it has never been able to contact her. She had been on a journey to the front lines, where she had been found out after a massive explosion in a village that had resulted in a large number of civilian casualties, including the disappearance of two BBC journalists, and she had to find out what was going on, but since then she has lost contact with her, and it has been four weeks since then. And then ......" At this, Matthew's eyes couldn't help but tremble faintly, and he had to take a deep breath again, "The day before yesterday, there was a second explosion in that village. ”

Be quiet.

The room was silent, even the sound of breathing was gone, the brain had completely stopped, and only a buzzing sound was left in my ears.

“…… So, what did the peacekeepers find?" Lan Li's voice was exceptionally calm, even calm to the point of being a little indifferent, and he couldn't feel the temperature at all, which made Matthew shudder.

"Not yet. Matthew replied, "There is nothing for the time being, the peacekeepers have not been able to enter the village, they are still facing each other on the periphery of the area, so we don't know the situation for the time being." Matthew slowly closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and then continued, "They are still blocking the news, and no media can find out, but Arthur got the inside information, saying that it was ...... The journalist who said it was Edith's companion had been killed, and his body had been found. The rest of the news is completely locked down internally, and we can't find out anything. ”

Matthew looked at Lan Li like this, Lan Li didn't say anything and didn't do anything, but that calm appearance made Matthew start to be afraid, he always felt as if Lan Li was moving away, like a broken kite, farther and farther away, flying farther and farther, that feeling made him very uneasy, "Lan Li?"

Lan Li's gaze refocused and looked at Matthew calmly, "Well, I need to start preparing, there is still shooting work to be done tonight." Are you going to go to the set with me? or do you want to stay in the hotel and rest in the hotel? Coming from London, it's a plane and a car, and you must be tired and need to stay here?"

Lan Li was really too calm, a little frighteningly calm, as if nothing had happened.
