Chapter 15 discusses the script

Blake said, "I baked a small cake at home last night, I left you a copy, I baked it myself!" She saw the Napoleon cake that Mark had brought over, smiled, and said, "Wow! Napoleon cake, my favorite." ”

"I don't know how to make cakes, which Sophie bought from the Michelin Cake House," Mark said. ”

Blake said: "The cakes in Michelin Cake House are all good things, very famous, and very expensive, and I am reluctant to buy them." "She's a smiling girl, like Cameron Wooditz, grinning and smiling, and her sunny mood is contagious, and they sit on the row of chairs on the edge of the playground and eat cake together.

Blake said: "Tom watched your play, and he said it was very professional, not like a junior high school student, and the production plan behind it was very similar, and he wanted to meet you." ”

Mark was a little nervous and said, "So fast, is this appropriate?"

Blake blushed and said: "You think too much, it's in the name of the juniors to meet the seniors and ask for advice!" She said with a solemn expression: "We are just classmates, just neighbors in the same community, not friends, let alone boyfriend and girlfriend." ”

Mark said, "Oh!"

At the end of the evening, Mark asked Donald to drive them to the Lively House, which was seven or eight minutes away from each other in the same neighborhood, with David's house in the heart of the community, the most luxurious and best location, and the Lively house in the middle of nowhere.

Donald said: "Meet the parents so soon, man, it's too fast, I can't keep up with your pace, I thought you just wanted to, who knew you wanted to have a baby, man, you should change into a suit." ”

Mark said: "Donald, Mr. Lively is a professional filmmaker, and I went to ask him some questions about filmmaking. ”

Donald saw Blake's blushing face and smiled, "Why does Blake, who is cheerful and smiling in the student union, look shy?"

Blake said, "Mark and I are just ordinary friends, is it funny for you to make such jokes?"

Donald said: "Ordinary friends? That's what you have to hurry, a boy like Mark with eight-pack pectoral muscles, but it's super sought-after, it's definitely your loss if you start late." ”

Blake said, "yes! I should have Mark first." ”

Donald said, "Shall I pick you up tonight?" he asked Mark, who got out of the car.

Mark said, "Of course!"

Donald made a phone call, stepped on the gas, and walked away.

Blake led Mark to the door of the cottage, she saw Mark nervous, and said, "Do you really think you are the son-in-law who came to the door?"

Mark said, "No!"

"You have no reason to be nervous, my friend," Blake said. ”

It was the tall and handsome Mason who opened the door, and when he saw Mark, he looked disgusted and unhappy, and said, "Showboy boy, do you want to soak my sister? I'm a member of the Gun Association, do you want to get shot?"

Although Mark was far taller and stronger than the other party, the other party was condescending, and he actually carried a gun at home, he was a little nervous, and said, "No!"

Mason said: "Stay away from my sister, if you dare to seduce her, I swear I will shoot, I am most unhappy with these hormonal explosions." ”

Mark explained, "I was a classmate of Miss Lively, and I was begging her to introduce Mr. Lively to some filmmaking questions!"

Blake sneered, "Mason, are you interrogating prisoners?"

Mason warned, "Remember not to hit Blake's idea, or you'll die an ugly death." ”

Mark said, "Understood!" Mason opened the door and let them in, leading them to the living room, a bald middle-aged man in his forties and fifties was sitting on the sofa reading documents, and Blake enthusiastically introduced the two sides, and repeatedly emphasized that it was just a classmate relationship.

Tom Lively lifted his reading glasses and said, "King Mark, are you dating Black? You see, I'm never going to help someone who robbed my little lover." ”

Mark sighed in his heart, these two fathers and sons are all the way, and Mason is also sitting on the side, looking at them with fierce eyes, Mark has to explain again and again.

Tom said, "Why did Blake help you?"

Blake said: "Mark and I are classmates, Mark is very thoughtful, very talented, no matter who will be happy to put the icing on the cake, Tom you have read the script written by Mark, you should know what kind of person he is." ”

Tom said, "I don't believe he wrote it, and I'm more than happy to accept the fact that there are other gunmen." ”

Mark said, "That's what I wrote. ”

Tom said: "The drama involves deep theories of science, psychology, biology and religion, which are not something that you, a junior middle school student, can understand. ”

Mark smiled: "Maybe you think it's unfathomable, the truth is extremely simple, why don't you analyze it from a realistic point of view, the professor is just bragging and pretending to be B?"

Tom was stunned, movies are an art form, and there are a variety of interpretation methods and metaphors to have flavor and charm, and only then can they be called good movies.

Mason said: "You have the ability to write plays independently, so why do you need to go to junior high school? Many people with a liberal arts background in college may not be able to write a good script." ”

Mark said: "I grew up in Huaxia, and it is almost another world here, and it takes time to integrate, so I'm sorry to disturb you, I quit." "He has come to ask for advice, not to be a grandson, and he is now arrogant, but not a man without temper.

Tom lifted the frame of his glasses and said, "Since we're from the same community, why don't you have a cup of coffee when you enter the door?"

Blake excitedly said, "I'm going to make coffee!"

Mason still said the same thing, slapped the holster, and said: "Dare to soak my sister, you are dead." ”

Mark raised his head and said firmly: "If I like Blake, I will boldly pursue her openly, and I don't even dare to chase the girl I like, what kind of man is it?"

Mason jumped up in anger and shouted, "Are you provoking me?" He pulled out his pistol, pointed it at Mark, and said, "Get out of here!" ”

Tom frowned and said, "Mason, put down the gun immediately, the one in the Lively family asked you to point a gun at the guest?"

Mason dismounted, and said stupidly, "Boy, be careful?"

Tom saw that Mark was being pointed at gunpoint, and sat calmly, this neither humble nor arrogant bearing, which he admired very much, the young man was a little interesting, and he said: "Mason has a bad temper, don't laugh." ”

Blake came out with her coffee and said strangely, "Where's Mason?" She poured her father a cup of coffee and another for Mark, then sat down next to Tom, took his arm, and said, "How is Mark's play?"

Tom said: "The first thing this script gives people is thinking, you read it, do you choose to believe it or not? Maybe it's not a choice, whether it's completely negative or completely believing, the whole open-ended story brings very interesting thinking, I choose to believe, this is the same as believing in God's answer, there are similar lines in the script, and this is also logically flawed, but I think this answer is very simple and difficult to disprove, can you deny that the protagonist is not Jesus? Just like you can deny that God doesn't exist? Of course, you may not be able to prove the existence of God, but you can't deny that it is not, it is interesting to turn from the scientific polemic to the discussion of religion, which is in line with people's common sense, relatively speaking, religion can solve the ultimate problem that most science cannot explain, theism or atheism, the vast majority of people are passively chosen, no matter which is more scientific and logical, they are just a kind of "theory" , but no matter which country or what kind of educational background, it will instill a certain belief in the younger generation, which is the bottom line of most people's logical thinking. ”

"You've seen so many things, I just think John's story is very appealing, or that he's very good at blowing, and the world is in his mouth," Lively said. ”

Tom said: "There are many places in this play that remind me of the book "Everyone is going to die" , Immortality is a desire and fantasy that everyone has had, the protagonist who obtained immortality in that book has experienced N years of life, and finds that eternal life is eternal punishment, because the people he loves will die, and any of his achievements will eventually turn into powder over time, the difference is that John thinks that he is not immortal, and his calm face does not show much sadness, but for him, the people who have loved him and those who love him have died, which cannot be ignored, this script is not a simple story, it explores very profound things. ”

"I've experienced loved ones dying in front of me, my mother, my grandfather and my grandmother, and there's nothing more sad and melancholy than that," Mark said. ”

Tom hits the knot: "Art comes from life, only after experience in life, can you have a sense of experience and create a good work, I like this section very much, at the end of John stopped and waited for the woman who loved him, here is no shooting whether she pulled the car door and got into the car, the suspense in this made me very moved, a man who will eventually grow old and die around him, will leave the people around him every ten years, not only for self-preservation, but also for the care of others, but will he stop for the woman in front of him? When he stopped and looked back at the woman, how heartwarming the subtle changes in the woman's face were! The course of 10,000 years of life has nothing to do with me, you are just the man I love, you have left the people around you like you have repeated N times in the past, but you still stayed for me for a moment, very tasteful, and the young man is very talented. ”

Blair smiled happily and said, "You like it, don't you?"

Tom said: "Yes, the script is very well written, but the shooting plan is a bit of bullshit, I don't know what to do. ”
