Chapter 80: Jennifer Connelly

After filming in Los Angeles is over, the crew of "Soul City" will move to Fox Studios in Sydney to continue filming. It is impossible for more than 100 people from top to bottom of the crew to be brought to Sydney, except for the necessary actors, the staff who followed the crew to Australia are only some core members, such as lighting engineers, photographers, makeup artists, costume artists, etc., and the rest of the personnel are hired by local Australian industry insiders.

The crew booked tickets before the start of filming, and Theorod, as the leading actor, was naturally assigned to first class, staying with the director and other main actors, and most of the rest were in business class. The ticket provided by the crew only included Theorod alone, not his assistant, and if he wanted to take Natl with him, he would have to pay out of his own pocket, or he could also choose to accept the local assistant in Sydney arranged for him by the crew.

On his first day on the crew, Theolod asked Nattel's opinion. He didn't have any problem with whether his assistant would follow him at all times, and if Natel wanted to stay in the country, he could take advantage of his absence to learn the skills of an assistant from Marshall.

As soon as Natel heard that if he followed Theorod, he would have to let Theorod pay for it himself, he immediately frowned, thought about it, and held back for a long time before saying, "I'll pay for the ticket myself......

Theorod was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then he understood what the kid thought, he thought that it was a bit wasteful and inappropriate to make Theorod pay for it, after all, he didn't have the ability to be worthy of him to pay for him. So Theolod smiled and patiently told Sù Natel that their current status was a superior-subordinate relationship, and if he went to Australia with him, it would be equivalent to a business trip, and of course the travel and accommodation expenses would be reimbursed.

Natel was a little hesitant at the time, but before he could think about it, something happened to Theorod, and the matter was naturally put on hold, until the time for Theorod to go abroad was getting closer and closer, and Natel solemnly told him that he would not go with him. At that time, Theorod had asked him why he didn't go—after all, at first Theorod could see that he still wanted to go abroad—and Natel only prevaricated, saying that it would be a disadvantage for him to go with him now, and that it would be better to stay in Los Angeles.

Theolod didn't force it, he told him to spend more time in Marshall's company during this time, Marshall has been in Hollywood for more than 20 years, and naturally understands the tasks and responsibilities of the assistant industry. Then he informed Marshall and asked him to train Nattle for him during this time.

Marshall is not optimistic about Natle from the bottom of his heart, of course, but who said that he can't resist Theorod at all?

The assistant assigned to him by the crew in Sydney is a middle-aged woman in her thirties, a black woman, named Luna, when she laughs, she will show a mouthful of white teeth, her smile is very bright and friendly, and she is very quick and simple.

It can be seen that she is a very good person, because Theolod has an inconvenient right arm, she will always take care of a lot of things for him, and always think about what he will need one step ahead. Whether it was driving him to the set or picking him up from the set back to the hotel, she seemed to have a pair of eyes that judged the paparazzi, almost allowing Theorod to avoid most of the hidden cameras and solve a lot of problems for him.

With Luna's help, Theolod only had to act on the set and didn't have to worry about anything else, and she was even able to make an appointment with the doctor for the stitches removal in advance without Theolod explaining it, and remind him when he had to go to the hospital for a follow-up.

In addition to meeting a special caregiver assistant in Sydney, Theolod finally met his "wife", Jennifer Connelly. She is a very intellectual temperament and elegant woman, her appearance does not belong to the bright and moving showy, nor to the delicate and picturesque coquettishness, and even her eyebrows are a little too thick, but no one can deny the heart-pounding beauty when she smiles.

Her appearance would lead many to think of her as a mindless vase that could only be used as decoration, but this is not the case. When she starred in "Once Upon a Time in America" at the age of fourteen, her spiritual performance shocked everyone, and she herself was a talented woman who graduated from Yale University and Stanford University, and her acting style was as full of wisdom and talent as her people, but in recent years her expression Xiàn seems to have not been able to break through, perhaps she has reached a bottleneck.

Theolod and Jennifer's first scene is John and Emma's "first encounter". John had just escaped from an alien race, and Emma had just returned home from the police station, and it was in this situation that she met John sitting in a dark living room, exhausted by the Inspector's interrogation and her husband's disappearance.

The lone yellow light in the living room was not enough to illuminate the whole space, the light of the dining table was still dim and blurred, and the pale street lamp passed through the window, slightly illuminating half of the dining table, leaving the remaining half as if it had been cut, sinking into ambiguous darkness.

A man in a black woolen coat sat quietly at a dark dining table, his collar erected so that he was shrouded in mysterious shadows from the lips down. A glass of spirit, which anesthetizes the human nerves, sits alone on a wooden tabletop, right at the intersection of light and darkness, the fusion of light and shadow leaving an obscure sparkle on the orange liquid.

He slowly stretched out his left hand, which was hidden in the darkness, and clasped the rim of the glass at will, and as soon as his bony and slender fingers touched the pale brightness, he took the wine glass and retracted it, so that the orange liquid gently covered the thin light lips.

Mysterious, mysterious, depressing, lonely, and hesitant aura naturally enveloped the entire living room. The man in the darkness is like a lost walker, sitting quietly in front of countless forks in the road.

It was in this scene that Jennifer realized what it means to be a natural performer. Theolod didn't need to say or do much, as long as he sat quietly there, a simple drinking action, he could make the character of John instantly three-dimensional, without suspense and reservation, to grab everyone's attention.

"John ......" seemed to be infected by the lonely shadow, and Jennifer naturally made her tone extremely gentle, with a hint of pity and tenderness. As soon as she said this, she immediately realized that she was being led by Theolod by the nose, and the rest of the lines were stuck in her throat - Alex's voice proved it.

"Cut!Emma, this doesn't feel right, you shouldn't use this tone to call a man who has been betrayed by you, the love in your tone is too obvious, if you have never betrayed John before, this kind of expression is perfect, but don't forget that you have been with other men behind his back, and he has seen it!"

Alex patiently explained.

"You need to blame yourself and panic more than love and distress, you know? You don't know that John has amnesia, and the police think your husband is the murderer, even if you believe John, you have to be a little wary and fearful, not to mention that you think he is here to confront you. ”

Jennifer listened patiently and kept nodding her head to show her understanding.

Alex then said to Theorod: "Theo, although you are nineteen years old in Sydney, you have reached their legal drinking age, but don't take this opportunity to drink too much, this is real alcohol, if you get drunk I will never spare you, if you want to be numbed with alcohol, go take two painkillers, I believe Luna is ready." ”

"Painkillers aren't a good thing, Alex, and I've only taken two sips. Theolod shook the liquid from his glass.

"That's not going to work! I'll wait for a while to get home and drink it myself!"

"Okay, I'm not going to rob you, don't worry. Theolod waved his hand with a little crying and laughing.

Take a break and the shooting continues. This time, Jennifer finally lifted her heart, for fear of being taken away by Theolod again, and Alex was also very satisfied with her appearance this time, at least she didn't have the attachment that she felt like seeing a long-lost lover for the first time.

Emma walked over to the table and sat down in the light across from John, her voice worried or nervous.

"I've been worried about you. As she spoke, she stretched out her hand to John, expecting him to cover the back of her hand with his warm palm as usual, so that she could still have a trace of luxury in her heart, expecting her husband to still love her.

But all she waited for was John's obscure eyes in the darkness with sadness and struggle. He glanced at her outstretched hand, which was more nervous and guarded than Emma's tone, but he didn't seem to be guarding the woman in front of him, but he was afraid of something else, in short, he avoided contact with Emma.

His instinct sued him, and he absolutely couldn't bear to let the strange woman in front of him suffer any harm.

Because...... Love?

John looked at the ground with a hint of confusion in his eyes.

This is his home, he understands it as such, because he has the key to this apartment in his hands. He didn't have this woman in his memory, but this woman lived in any corner of the house, and he could see her shadow and their pictures in any corner. He had a lover, but he had forgotten it.

Emma began to question John if it was a punishment for her to be so indifferent to her after returning home for not returning home for several days, and her eager questioning made John somehow feel a little more panicked in his heart, he picked up the wine glass to hide his panic and helplessness, and his action of drinking wine without taking a sip actually made the onlookers feel a little more depressed.

Until John drank all his wine in the woman's question, and with a "bang", he slammed the cup on the table.

Everyone involuntarily held their breath.

Jennifer was taken aback, not only because there was no such action in the script, but also because his force was too great to smash the cup, so that the fragile glass shattered at that moment, the sharp glass cut Theorod's palm, and the blood slowly flowed down the glass, but he didn't realize it, and at that moment, he raised his eyes suddenly, and met her with those red eyes.

"I don't know what you're talking about, actually, I don't even know who I am. John's words are very light, but one hears a poignant self-deprecation, "I instinctively came here, and then found myself with this in my pocket, and I think this should be my home, and you ...... It should be my wife. I don't know what happened between us, and it's funny that I find myself not wanting to know what happened now either. ”

John's gaze was depressed and hesitant to look at Jennifer, who was frightened by his actions, and he had a smile on his face that was gentle enough to drown, but his eyes were bitter, as if he had realized from Emma's words what had happened between them, which made him realize for the first time how beautiful it was to forget.

But the powerless blankness was more painful to him than bitterness. He "is" a murderer, but he himself knows that he is not a villain at all, the previous memories are like a complete stranger to him, and his life is like living in another person's body, until now he suddenly woke up, this kind of powerlessness that his fate and his life are completely not in his own hands made him have a little more resistance to the woman in front of him.

At that moment, Theorod's explosive acting skills pushed everyone's hearts to the top.

The moment Theolod looked at herself, Jennifer understood that this time, she was suppressed by this man again......
