1750 Dinner time
Lan Li didn't stay in the hospital for long, he stayed for half an hour before he was ready to leave.
"I'll go back first. Lan Li stood up and glanced at Paul's plate playfully, "I need to go back to dinner now, not the junk food here." ”
"Hey, here's my dinner!, please, okay?" Paul raised his voice in protest, but then smiled widely, "By the way, I'm really bored here, can you bring me some racing magazines?" Sensing Lan Li's confused eyes, Paul scratched his head, "If Meadow knew, she would have been nagging for a long time." ”
That's why I didn't dare to ask my family for help, lest the leak be known to Mei Duo.
Lan Li raised her eyebrows, "I thought I was a friend of Mei Duo. For friends, I shouldn't keep secrets. ”
"You were my friend before you became Meadow's friend, okay? my!" Paul straightened his neck and expressed his position strongly.
A smile appeared on the corner of Lan Li's mouth, "I see." I'll send someone to deliver it when I get back. ”
"Well done!" Paul celebrated with a clenched fist.
"Hidden. If Meadow had asked, I would never have admitted it. Lan Li turned around and explained, and then you could see that Paul nodded again and again like a chicken pecking rice, which was really unbearable.
Seeing Lan Li's footsteps leaving the ward, Paul hesitated for a moment and said, "Lan Li." Thank you. ”
Lan Li stopped, turned to look at Paul, and there was some confusion in his eyes.
Because of this accident, and because of the calculation of the crew of "speed and excitement/emotion", but not only because of these. After all, the weight of a "thank you" is still too light and too light, but it is a thank you that he must say. Facing Lan Li's gaze, Paul was a little restrained, he didn't know how to explain, and he couldn't find a clue in a thousand words, so he simply stopped talking, "It's nothing, I just think I should say thank you." ”
Lan Xian tasted the intricacies and deep meaning behind this sentence, but didn't say anything, just said with a smile, "Don't worry, it's just a few magazines, it's not a big problem." ”
Paul was slightly stunned, nodded ignorantly in understanding, and then his smile rose, "yes, it's just a few magazines...... Nodding heavily again, and explained cordially, "Pay attention on the way back, enjoy dinner!"
"Okay. Lan Li gestured before turning to leave.
Paul retracted his gaze and turned to the surf show again, admiring it with relish.
……
Back at the apartment, Lan Li saw Rooney doing yoga.
It's not a difficult movement, it's just a basic movement that maintains the flexibility of the body, and then it continues to remain still, as if it is slowly adjusting its breathing. It seems that yoga is nearing its end.
The creamy yellow light in the room spilled down, there was no special music, and the air was filled with a faint scent of lavender, which naturally exuded a sense of tranquility.
Lan Li did not interrupt Rooney's yoga time, and walked lightly to the direction of the bathroom, today it was a whole day, flying and recording, and then went to the hospital, the winter in Los Angeles actually made him sweat a thin layer, from the ice and snow of Park City back to the warm winter sun of California, he is still a little uncomfortable.
After a simple shower and bath, washing away the dust of the journey, and when she appeared in the hall again, Rooney's yoga had already ended, and she was not seen, and then a voice came from the direction of the kitchen, "Have you used dinner?"
"Nope. Lan Li walked in the direction of the kitchen, "I went to visit Paul in the hospital and then came back. ”
In the kitchen, Rooney was busy, usually not looking like a fireworks, but when she entered the kitchen, she was not clumsy and embarrassed at all, and while focusing on the things in hand, she was able to talk to Lan Li, "Guessed." How is Paul? I heard Meadow say that the stitches will be removed in two days, and Paul is in good shape. ”
"Hmm. He's fine. Lan Li leaned against the wall in the corner, his hands folded over his chest, and just watched Rooney's busy figure quietly, "He's watching a surf show, and he seems to be eager to get back moving, and besides, he asked me to help/steal/cross/get a couple of racing magazines in." ”
Rooney raised her head and looked at Lan Li, a little surprised, and then received a positive confirmation from Lan Li's nod, she couldn't help laughing, "Mei Duo definitely disagrees." ”
Lan Li shrugged, "That's why I need to be this bad guy." ”
"Haha, be careful, Meadow will settle accounts with you. There was a hint of schadenfreude in Rooney's voice, and before she spoke, her movements were already done quickly, "I thought you and Andy were going out for dinner, and he looked like he needed to discuss something with you today, so I prepared a few brief." If that's not enough, let's order takeout. ”
"Forget about takeout. Please don't add to my fitness burden, okay?" Lan Li walked over to the kitchen partition, reached out and took the cutlery from Rooney's hand, and turned to the table to put down only one set, which Rooney had obviously eaten.
Rooney quipped in a brisk voice, "I thought you would never eat fat, so you never needed to work out." ”
"Don't you see my exercise time?" Lan Li sat down at the table, and Rooney brought dinner to the pan-fried cod with broccoli, followed by some black rice and other vegetables, in plenty of portions, with nutritional considerations, and most importantly, not too high in calories and fat.
Rooney is not a master chef, if she is asked to finish a big meal seriously, she is helpless, and she still needs a professional to do it, but her actions in the kitchen are obviously much more comfortable and casual than Lan Li, and she can do ordinary and simple dishes in daily life, and she also enjoys it.
As it happens, the two actors have to work most of their time and don't have to cook their own meals very often, so when they can occasionally meet, Rooney is happy to go into the kitchen and prepare some simple food for the two of them to share some leisure time with each other.
It's like tonight.
"But after 'Popping Drummer', you don't have time to exercise, do you?" Rooney saw through the question.
Lan Li was stunned, thought about it seriously, and nodded in agreement, "It seems that we should go to Malibu to see if there are suitable waves, and maybe we can hug the ocean." ”
Lan Li began to eat, and Rooney took a seat opposite him with a book and began to flip through it again.
"Remember what you said last time? If you can understand the director's composition and lighting, it will also inspire different performances. I've been flipping through a few books lately, and I think the use of the camera in French New Wave cinema is really unique, and many French actors don't seem to be in a state of being engaged in the performance at all, but the texture of the picture is natural. This is one of the artistic interpretations. ”
Sure enough, the French have their own unique perspective on art. ”
"How the hell did you find out? Most actors don't think about the director's design in terms of composition and lighting, and it's very rare to focus on the script and the plot. ”
"I now have the urge to live in Paris for a while, not for work or tourism, but to live there, to experience the local culture and occasionally enjoy the local stage performances. Is there a huge difference between the stage plays in Paris and London, you say?"
Rooney continued to express his thoughts without saying a word, and Lan Li replied occasionally, but most of the time he was concentrating on his meal.
But after such an intermittent conversation, the two of them seemed extremely comfortable, and their emotions and muscles gradually relaxed.
"Ding Dong", the doorbell rang at the door, Rooney put down the book in his hand, got up and went to open the door, "It should be Andy, did he call you?"
"My phone is in my backpack. Lan Li replied.
Rooney opened the front door, and the voice came, "Hey, Andy, good evening." ”
"Rooney. Sorry for the late hour. Andy's honest voice rang out.
"Don't worry, I just told Lan Li that you should come over. There was a shallow smile in Rooney's voice, "If it weren't for the important business, you wouldn't be in such a hurry." Lan Li is in the restaurant, he has just finished his meal and is about to drink coffee, do you need a cup?"
"Black coffee, thank you. Andy was not polite, and said in a relaxed tone, "God, my brain is muddy right now, and I desperately need a cup of black coffee to wake up." ”
"If you're not worried about not being able to sleep at night. Rooney joked too.
The two of them appeared in the dining room one after the other, Lan Li took his plate to the kitchen and put it in the sink, Rooney walked over and patted Lan Li's arm gently, "Leave it to me." Do you need sugar in your coffee? Do you have to get up early tomorrow morning to dub and do you not fall asleep?"
"Just add milk. I need to read the script in the evening. Lan Li replied in a low voice, and then imprinted a kiss on Rooney's forehead, thanking him for the dinner, "Thank you." Then he walked back to the dining room and sat down directly across from Andy.
Andy did look a little embarrassed at this time. It's not costume, it's spiritual.
Andy was still wearing the same black suit he wore at the airport in the afternoon, his shirt and tie were meticulous and not messy, but his forehead was oozing dense sweat, his cheeks were slightly red, some abnormal flushing, and his eyes looked very tired and untidy.
"It seems that Bob Iger is not an easy opponent to play against. Lan Li reacted immediately.
Andy took out his handkerchief and wiped the sweat from his forehead, but then the sweat seeped out again, I don't know if it was because of the weakness of exhaustion or because of the overweight constitution, "This shouldn't be unexpected, right?"
Lan Li nodded her head in agreement.
Andy hesitated, "You don't mind if I untie my tie, do you?" He knew that in a noble family, even in the hall or bedroom, it was a basic etiquette to keep clothes tidy, but today was a special situation, and he really needed to catch his breath now.
"Of course, please. Lan Li replied politely.
