"Rooney is reading the script inside......"

Cate Blanchett, in the name of leading Lan Li on a tour of the set, took Lan Li to the door of Rooney's waiting room instead of going to meet the director, apparently, from the beginning, Kate was ready to do this, even if she didn't get a definite answer yet, she had already read Lan Li's purpose for coming to Cincinnati.

This is the first time. In Hollywood, for the first time, someone can read Lan Li's actions and intentions, and for the first time, someone can see through Lan Li's mask and disguise. Even Lance himself didn't realize that it was really, really rare, not even Paul Walker, even Ryan Gosling.

When he looked at Kate again, Lan Li's gaze became deeper, and for the first time, he had a kind of apprehension and panic that the initiative was not in his hands:

Surprises and surprises, there are also faint vigilance and alertness, like a fox that smells danger, up its pointed ears.

Kate seemed to notice the change in the temperature of Lan Li's gaze, but she was still calm, slowly took out a cigarette case from her pocket, took out a cigarette, handed the lighter to Lan Li, and cast her eyes focused and bright towards Lan Li's inquiring gaze, not flustered at all because of Lan Li's vigilance, let alone retreating, that calm and even took the initiative to attack, as if Lan Li was looking at his reflection.

Lan Li took the lighter and politely lit a cigarette for Kate: the flames burst up, reflecting Kate's well-defined features in red, and a strand of blonde hair hung down, covering her eyes, which made her vision hazy and blurred, and then the smoke spread, making the flames hazy, and the crowded and narrow corridor slightly suppressed the tight effect of the secret room, and the temperature began to rise quietly.

Then, Lan Li extinguished the lighter, and Kate's blurred and lazy gaze disappeared into the depths of the firelight, and the surroundings dimmed again.

"Relax. Kate clutched her cigarette and said with a smile on her lips, "I didn't mean to attack, I just accidentally discovered a harmless secret, and that's all." She could feel the alienation and coldness that burst out of Lan Li's body, and she completed her self-defense in an instant.

This is not unexpected. The rumored Lan Li is like this, seemingly gentle, but in fact calm and self-controlled, the kind of powerful aura from the hereditary aristocracy, which is daunting, especially when it comes to Lan Li's private life, he always does not mind showing his aggression and self-protection.

In a way, Kate is the same. This is their law of survival, in the animal world of Hollywood, everyone has their own way of life, those guards and distrust, originally relying on the survival rules under the skin of entertainment to death, no one is an exception.

Really.

Kate's defense failed to convince Lan Li, his expression was still unmoved, just staring at her meaningfully, which made Kate take another puff of cigarette, but when she spit out the cigarette, she turned her head and politely spit all the smoke to the side, letting the crowded and hot breath slowly surge, and the short silence made the atmosphere more and more tense, but both of them did not move, and the atmosphere that had just been harmonious immediately stiffened visibly to the naked eye.

In the end, it doesn't seem accurate to describe Kate as defeated, her smile is revealed, and the smile hidden behind the curling smoke has a kind of enchantment, "Can I understand that you are doing everything you can to protect Rooney? Or are you worried about the relationship leaking out for the sake of your own career, so this is why you become extremely nervous?" Or do you think someone can see through your secret and turn on the attack mode?"

Kate's voice was very low, almost muttering to herself, and only Lan Li and she could hear it.

In the middle of the eye waves, Kate's smile retracted, her eyebrows raised slightly, and she said slyly, "I guess it's the first one." She doesn't think Lan Li is the kind of trash who asks others to sacrifice for her own cause, at least, the look in the Oscars can't be deceiving.

"Relax. "Rooney is a good girl, she deserves the company of a good boy, and you...... You're also a good boy and deserve a companion who will never leave you. So, I'll shut up as if nothing had happened. ”

After saying that, Kate winked her right eye at Lan Li, took another puff of her cigarette, spit it out, the corners of her mouth rose again, and turned to leave.

From beginning to end, Lan Li never said a word, not that he couldn't, but that he didn't have to. He knows that Kate is a smart person, just as Kate knows that his eyes and expressions mean vigilance, they all have their own ways of survival, especially in the face of the pervasive paparazzi, they are all trying their best to protect their lives, even at the expense of taking the initiative, maybe the methods are not the same, but the two people are heart-to-heart.

Seeing Kate's back as she left, Lan Li's eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a look of interest, now he is really looking forward to filming with Kate, it should be a very interesting thing, not only at the performance level, but also at the reality level outside the performance.

Turning around, Lan Li knocked on the door of the room, and after a moment's wait, Rooney's familiar voice came from inside, "Come in." ”

Lan Li then pushed open the door of the room, and when he entered, he could see a decent bedroom, which was the standard room of a middle-class American family, with stone blue walls, off-white floral wallpaper, brown-red desk, and dark brown wardrobe...... The formal layout shows the taste of the hostess in the details, and the pink sheets and duvet covers tell that the room should belong to an underage girl.

"Are you ready? I'll come now. Rooney's gaze remained on the script, not looking up.

But Rooney didn't get a response, she slowed down a little by half a beat, and her thoughts were withdrawn from the script, realizing that something was wrong, and only then did she raise her head, and then she saw Lan Li standing in front of her, her eyes couldn't help opening slightly, and her dilated pupils clearly wrote her surprise and dismay.

Lan Li took a step forward, closed the door of the room lightly, and looked around, "Eight years old?" Meaning, does this room belong to an eight-year-old girl?

Rooney immediately understood, and smiled dumbly, "Six years old." "Actually, this is the room used by Carol's daughter in the movie.

Lan Li deliberately showed a look of surprise, "God, this suddenly made me lose all my heartbeat. He didn't have any interest in the six-year-old milk doll, which made Rooney laugh happily, his eyes and mouth were full of smiles, and the happy satisfaction overflowed, but Lan Li didn't continue to joke, "You continue." There's still a little time. ”

Rooney was not polite, bowed his head and read the script again.

Although Lan Li made a special trip to visit the class, Rooney was extremely excited at the moment, and her whole mood was flying, but the filming of the next scene was about to start, and she still hoped that she could complete her work dutifully as if Lan Li was in the "Burst Drummer" crew.

Lan Li spontaneously sat down in the chair diagonally opposite him, picked up a book from the desk, and even if it was a children's book, he read it seriously.

There is no talking, no warmth, not even eye contact, such a visit is really "strange and alienated" people do not know how to describe it, but this is not the case, there is a tacit understanding flowing in the room, and the aura around the body has become soft and warm, even if there is no communication, they can feel the most natural state between each other and will not be disturbed in any way.

In fact, it can be seen from Rooney's habits that the rest of the crew did not enter the room to disturb, but left enough space for Rooney to complete the preparation, which has many similarities with Lan Li reading the script, they all need to have their own environment to ensure that they can concentrate.

But at this time, Lan Li's appearance did not break the balance of the room, and Rooney was still able to read the script with peace of mind, which was special in itself.

Perhaps, in the eyes of outsiders, such a mode of getting along seems strange and unfamiliar, and it should not be the expression that couples who are dating, and they can't understand it at all, but for Lan Li and Rooney, this is their most accustomed and comfortable way of getting along, and the tacit understanding without words makes each other feel at ease, and the most important thing is that both of them have similar persistence in the performance and the preparation process for the performance, and the explanation and accommodation become redundant, which is the best part.

Rooney adjusted her sitting posture slightly, even more relaxed than just now, and her slightly free attention was completely concentrated, the quiet and warm atmosphere in the room made her tension and apprehension slowly calm down, as if as long as Lan Li was around her, she could settle down.

"May I ask you a question?" Rooney asked, frowning slightly, looking up.

"Huh?" Lan Li put down the children's book in his hand and cast his gaze.

"You've read the script, and you should know the story and the characters. So do you think I need to struggle and hesitate? I mean, should I show my inner distress during the performance?"

"Carol and I both know that it was forbidden in the fifties, and I have a boyfriend and Carol has a husband and children, and even though they're divorcing, should I show that scruples and struggles?

"However, in the script, the worldly obstacle is the unavoidable part, even the core contradiction, which takes a lot of pen and ink to describe, so how should I grasp the balance in the performance? Do you think I need to amplify this emotion? Will that seem too redundant?"
