Jennifer Lawrence secretly looked at Lan Li, who was sitting cross-legged in the corner alone, at first she was a little restrained, and cautiously peeked at it several times, but then, she noticed that Lan Li didn't seem to notice her gaze at all, which made her start to be bold. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
The crew went ahead of their expectations, they traveled to Rhode Island yesterday and shot all the scenes on Jacob and Anna's vacation in just one day, the next two days the crew will focus on filming Jacob's life in Los Angeles after Anna leaves, and then spend another day or two on the rest of the scenes at Los Angeles International Airport before the crew will leave for London.
This also means that Jennifer doesn't have much time to slowly brew, and today she will be filming her first scene, and she has to get into the groove right away.
Before the start of filming, Jennifer wanted to communicate with Lan Li, not only for the next shooting, but also because of the filming in the past few days, Lan Li's outstanding performance made Jennifer's sense of competition more and more vigorous, she was curious about how Lan Li did it, and looked forward to today's rival shooting.
She knows Lan Li's habits, before the official start of filming for each scene, he will find a quiet corner to read the script carefully and repeatedly, and if necessary, he will discuss some details of the script with the director and actors. Thirty minutes or even forty-five minutes before the start of filming, Lan Li had already begun to devote himself to the performance.
Jennifer only hesitated for a moment, then strode over and crouched down in front of Lan Li, "Lan Li." She tentatively said, "Can we do a pair of scripts?"
Lan Li didn't respond, her eyes were still on the script, an unlit cigarette in her mouth, her brows furrowed slightly, as if she was reading the few short sentences on the script over and over again - Jennifer also appeared in this scene, she knew that there were not a few words between the two people at all, and this script was just a few lines.
Could it be that these lines will still bear fruit?
"Lan Li?" Jennifer raised her voice slightly, but Lan Li still didn't react, which made her brows move closer to the middle, she didn't like this feeling, she was clearly ignoring herself, there was a bubbling anger in her chest slowly boiling, she suppressed her anger and shouted again, "Lan Li!" A syllable, a syllable, almost gritted her teeth.
However, Lan Li still did not react.
This is simply the most disgusting behavior in the world! Not only is it arrogant, but it is also eye-catching...... Jennifer felt that she was about to explode, the little admiration she had just had for Lan Li was about to disappear, and then she remembered the misunderstanding when the two met for the first time, her anger calmed down a little, and she quickly looked sideways - this time Lan Li was not wearing earplugs.
"Grass!" The foul words had already come to her lips, and then Jennifer saw Lan Li stretch out her hand, groping in the air, deep and shallow, completely like a blind person, which made Jennifer stunned, and then saw the water cup at her feet, could it be that Lan Li was looking for a water cup?
Looking at Lan Li's fumbling movements, Jennifer thought about it, took the initiative to pick up the water glass, and handed it to Lan Li's hand.
Lan Li felt the water glass that took the initiative to meet her, and then she reacted, and suddenly raised her head to meet Jennifer's curious eyes. Jennifer noticed Lan Li's gaze and smiled, "Hey!"
Lan Li nodded and took his water glass, "Thank you." With his left hand, he took the cigarette from his mouth, took the glass of water with his right hand, took two large sips, and then put the glass down, picked up the cigarette again, lowered his head and continued to read the script in front of him.
Jennifer was stunned, obviously not expecting Lan Li's reaction, this time, instead of being angry, she became more and more curious, and asked tentatively, "What are you thinking?"
Due to the interruption just now, this time Lan Li did not continue to be silent, "I'm thinking, what the hell is Jacob thinking at this time. He put the script on his lap, "You see, the script is written here: Jacob is drawing the blueprints of the furniture, and Sam's voice comes from behind him, 'Do you need me to iron your jeans?' In the script, the story is divided, before this scene, Jacob had just returned from London and said goodbye to Anna, but in the next scene, he and Sam were living together. There is no clue that Jacob and Anna have broken up, so, at this moment, what kind of emotions are in Jacob's heart, and in the blank space that the story is not told, how did he and Anna choose to break up?"
A short sentence triggered so many thoughts from Lan Li, which made Jennifer feel a little magical, "So, have you found the answer?" Now she finally knew why Lan Li was always reading the script, and always looking at a sentence or a paragraph and thinking about it repeatedly.
"I don't know. Jennifer's answer stunned, and then she explained, "I mean, Jacob himself doesn't know. His mind was confused, and what he had experienced in London had put him in a difficult situation, he was indeed lonely, sad, and even angry, and Anna was the same. They chose to break up, which was the result of the agreement of the two people. So when Sam showed up, he didn't refuse. ”
But deep down, he didn't know what he was thinking, or what he wanted. He wasn't sure if breaking up was the right choice, wasn't sure what he and Sam were, wasn't even sure if he was still in love with Anna, or if the relationship had begun to change. ”
"Uh-huh. Jennifer pondered carefully, and she simply sat down cross-legged, "Actually, Jacob didn't want to break up, but the London experience made him and Anna start to change their pace, Anna has moved forward, but Jacob is still in place." In the face of Sam's initiative, Jacob just needed to continue to look forward, just needed someone to accompany him, so he didn't refuse. ”
"Yes, I think, Jacob's nature is inferior, he is always passive. The love with Anna was too beautiful and too romantic, almost the combination of all his most beautiful fantasies about love, he couldn't give up, he didn't want to give up, even if he chose to break up, he was still struggling inside. ”
Lan Li took the cigarette from his mouth and put it between his fingertips, his eyes gradually became deeper, and Jacob's character image gradually became clear, "But under the pressure of real life, he doesn't know what to do, and he can't find a way out." So, he had to get by, waiting for time to give an answer, just like countless ordinary people in this world. Everyone knows the truth, but not everyone can do it. ”
Even without Sam, Jacob is still alone in Los Angeles, and his relationship with Anna has also fallen into a puzzle with the change of time and space. Sam was never at the heart of the matter, Jacob and Anna themselves were.
Jennifer fell silent, the image of Sam in her mind became clearer than ever, she could capture the sadness and hesitation between Jacob's eyebrows, and she could also catch a glimpse of Jacob's inadvertent childlike smile, she did everything she could to see that smile again, to protect the man in front of her, so that he would not be hurt again. But she never really got into Jacob's heart.
It may be cruel, but it's also realistic.
"You say, what would happen if Jacob told Anna all these troubles in his heart?" Jennifer couldn't help but think further along Lan Li's train of thought.
Lan Li couldn't help but think deeply. If everyone in every relationship is willing to be open and honest, willing to communicate with each other, and willing to work together, then the outcome will not be different. But, this is just an assumption, because everyone is so complex, and sometimes being honest solves the problem, and sometimes it doesn't.
"I don't think we'll ever get a chance to know. Lan Li looked up at Drake, who was only setting up the camera.
At this moment, Lan Li was more certain than ever that Drake was still deeply in love with his ex-wife.
But life is so cruel, everyone has their own confusion and pain, even if you can predict the future, you may not be able to change your fate, because there is no right or wrong in love, from the moment of germination, it is the game and compromise of both sides, the collision and integration of both sides. More often than not, love doesn't solve all problems.
"Lan Li, why are you always able to put your own ideas into your performances, why do you always manage the rhythm in every performance?" Jennifer finally couldn't hold back, and asked the biggest question in her heart.
Lan Li was stunned, then laughed, "I don't know either." For me, acting is still a skill that needs to be constantly learned and polished, and I am just getting started. After a pause, Lan Li showed a surprised expression, "I can control the rhythm of the performance? Wow, this is the best compliment I've ever heard." Thank you. ”
Jennifer chuckled, nodded back, and didn't hesitate to give her praise. It won't be long before she overtakes his, though.
"If you had to say that there was any particular skill, I think it would be a basic skill. Lan Li recalled the years when he was still in school, there is no shortcut to the exercise of basic skills, every student is like this, he must abandon himself, start learning from the most basic emotions, start practicing from the simplest animal simulation, and polish his understanding of performance little by little.
"And ......," Lan Li held up the script in his hand, "and, read the script well?"
Jennifer's gaze stayed between Lan Li's eyebrows, she knew that Lan Li was serious, and this was not a joke. Although it sounds like a joke, the basic skills and scripts, this is a truth that every actor knows, and it is not a special skill at all, but it is also the most important truth, but many actors are too eager for quick success, just like Hollywood, and they want to transform into acting masters in one night, but they turn a blind eye to such truths.
