On the night of his arrival in Positano, Theolod met the other two main actors in the villa rented by the crew - Jude Law as Dickey and Gwyneth Paterno as Dickey's girlfriend.

In the next two weeks, the three of them will complete all the scenes in Positano, and in the next week, Jude Law will complete the other scenes and leave the crew, and he is the first of several to leave the crew. So, Anthony Minghella decided to get together the three main actors who arrived in Positano one after another on the eve of filming for dinner and get to know each other.

"Which restaurant did Director Anthony tell you about?" asked Theorod to his new assistant before leaving the hotel the crew had booked.

Bennett was slightly stunned, and he hurriedly opened his notebook. "Please wait, I'll see, I'll look for it, I'll make a note of it, it should be here," Bennett said, turning through the pages to find the name ......of the restaurant he had memorized, "Po...... Po…… Hmmm......"

He couldn't pronounce the name of the restaurant, and Bennett stammered several times before he could pronounce it correctly, and he couldn't help but glance at Theorod with some weakness. Theolod didn't have any impatience either, he reached out and gestured to Bennett, and only took the notebook and looked at it after asking for his permission.

There are only one or two of Positano's high-end local restaurants, and Theorod knows their names, but none of them are the names on this notebook, so there should be no need for formal attire. Theolod returned the notebook to Bennett and said, "Gavin, you go back first, go back to the hotel and have a good rest, tomorrow will be your first day of work." Is it far away from here? Won't it be a bit of a hassle to run back and forth? Why don't you quit the room over there and I'll book you a new room at this hotel?"

"No, don't bother, Mr. Lecht, Positano is so big, I don't live far away. Bennett quickly refused, remembering what Nattle had said to him - "Don't take Theo's kindness to you for real kindness, even if he is." ”

"Do you need me to send you over?" Bennett added, "I can pick you up tomorrow morning, too." ”

"That's not necessary, Gavin, like you said, Positano is so big, I know where the director is, and I'm used to running or going for a walk in the morning, so you'll just be on set tomorrow. ”

Bennett's politeness made Theolod who was used to Natle by his side a little uncomfortable, but he was relieved to think that his assistant had been so respectful and cautious before. After Bennett left, Theolod hurriedly took a shower, changed into clean and casual clothes, and came to the villa rented by the crew. The villa will be used as a filming location in the coming weeks and will become Dickey's home.

This villa in the hotel is close, five minutes walk. Theolod was the second to arrive, and when he walked into the garden, Minghella was already sitting on a garden chair waiting for a few people. Seeing the long-lost male protagonist, Anthony stepped forward and gave Theolod a hug and patted him on the back: "You have lost a lot of weight." ”

"Isn't it too skinny?"

"No, how could it be? Anthony pinched Theolod's arm, and this time, he could still feel the strong muscles, indicating that Theorod had lost weight in the past few months in a very healthy way. Then he saw the tattoo on Theorod's right arm, and said, "This is the tattoo you told me earlier? Besides, Ripley, the poor boy, is crawling around in society, and there is always a time to get a tattoo. ”

Previously considered the nature of Ripley's character, Theolod had asked Anthony what he thought about whether Ripley would have tattoos on his body. Given Ripley's life at the bottom of society, it's not unusual for him to have a tattoo or two. At that time, Anthony said that when he saw the tattoo of Theolod, he would ask the makeup artist to cover it up a little, after all, Ripley didn't spend much time naked/exposed, and most of the time he would wear his long-sleeved shirt that he didn't know how many times he had washed.

"Well, listen to you, you're the boss. Theolod smiled and touched his right arm, although he couldn't see it clearly because of the tattoo, he could still clearly feel the long scar and the scars left by the stitches on both sides.

"Yes, it seems that you have complied with the request I have given you to never tan. Anthony held his chin and looked Theolod up and down, judging from his appearance, in addition to being too handsome, he already had all the external conditions of Ripley, which made the director very satisfied, "Very good, I will allow you to order more Italian food you like, and your stomach." ”

Apparently, the director remembers what Theolod said to him about food during the interview.

"Then don't regret it, Tony, maybe I'll order everything on the menu that looks good. Theolod quipped.

"Don't be complacent, I didn't say you've passed the test perfectly, after all, I still have to think with the makeup artist to cover up the charm of your face, Ripley can't be more charming than Dickey, but when you kill Dickey and disguise him, I will allow you to be charming for a while...... Well, I'm curious right now, who would please the girls more if you were to be put together with our 'English Rose', and why not make a bet and see if those Italian girls have a crush on you or Jude tonight?"

"Oh, my director, it seems that the enthusiasm of the Italians is really contagious. Theolod pretended to sigh sadly, "My impression of the director is a polite and slow-talking person, how can he discuss gambling all of a sudden?"

"Hmm...... Looks like I'm not too late? What are you discussing? I just heard my name outside?"

Just as Anthony and Theorod were joking, a third person's voice suddenly interjected, and the other party spoke in a very warm and beautiful British accent, and the moment he spoke, Theorod saw Anthony smiling.

Theorod turned his head and saw a slender man standing at the garden gate. The setting sun gilded his blonde hair with a warm orange light, stretching his shadow long, and in the sunlight he looked as perfect as Apollo, the son of the sun. The smile on his face as handsome as a sculpture was so bright and beautiful, and when he smiled, his blue eyes were like the sea in the sun, as dazzling as diamonds, that he almost gave Theorod the illusion of being dazzled.

Indeed, this man does deserve the title of "English Rose". When "Devil's Advocate" and "One Shot" were released at the same time, Theolod and Jude were more or less forced by the media to fight each other in the air - because they were both handsome. However, at that time, Theorod did not know much about him, and only saw a few photos of him.

I didn't expect him to look even more perfect and charming than the photo photos carefully selected by high-level photographers, and even Theorod, who has been in Hollywood for most of his life and has never seen any amazing beauty, has to sigh that he is the favorite of the Creator.

Unlike the uninhibited and amorous prodigal rich young master in the play, Jude Law in reality is a diametrically opposed character, innocent, kind and polite, occasionally cute and stupid, and gives a very good first impression to strangers.

"That's right, we're talking about you. Here, Theo, do me a little favor, stand by Jude's side, and let me feel it. Anthony said, pulling Theolo to Jude, who was still in a state of confusion, and then reversed the index finger and thumb of his hands, and compared it to a camera, looking for an angle through the setting sun, "Oh, our Ripley is a little taller than Dickey, that's not okay." ”

"So what?" Theolod shrunk back, Ripley wasn't a confident guy, so most of the time he didn't look each other in the eye, and a slight hook of his back would explain this.

Seeing this, Jude didn't understand what they were discussing before, but at this moment he also hooked Theolod's shoulder with one hand - this is often the case with Dickie in the script - the expression on his face became frivolous and charming at that moment, coupled with his noble face, he was like a gentleman.

"I wish I had a camera with me now. Anthony exclaimed, then touched his bare head and shook his head, "Wait a minute, I'm afraid I'll need Gwen as my female companion to relieve my psychological pressure, and I hope you can walk behind me later, at least don't let me see you both...... Do you two need me to introduce you to each other? It looks like you have a tacit understanding of acting when you first meet. ”

The two have "fought in the air" before, and at the moment it is a cooperative relationship, of course, there is no need for Anthony to introduce it specifically. And Theorod himself is a social old fritter, and he can talk about any topic for a while, so Jude soon found a common topic in Theorod - sports games. The two of them then started talking, but eventually got back to acting.

To Theorod's surprise, Jude's first words when it came to acting and character were: "Dickey is bisexual, absolutely, he just doesn't know it, and it's not fair to Ripley, it's not fair to everyone who loves him." ”

And this idea is almost the same as Theorod's, so the two talk again and throw the director aside.

It was Gwyneth who saved Anthony from being ignored, and the dinner was very formal in the minds of most Americans, and Gwyneth dressed up and dressed up in formal attire for the sake of safety. One can imagine how embarrassed she looked when she saw that the three men were not dressed very formally.

"Sorry, I'm late, and it looks like I picked the wrong dress. Gwyneth tugged at the hem of her skirt, and as a very well-bred and elegant woman, she played a joke on herself, trying to salvage some of the faux pas that came with her dress.

"You need not apologize, Miss Paltrow, it is an honor for all of us to wait for a beautiful lady. We're sorry we forgot to pick you up. Theolod said apologetically and sincerely, thoughtfully ignoring the self-deprecation in Gwyneth's tone, his blue-green eyes and the shallow smile on the corners of his mouth that could almost ripple people into it made Gwyneth forget the embarrassment in an instant, "This black gauze dress is very beautiful, Chanel is very suitable for your temperament, believe me, you are definitely the most perfect." ”

Theolod said, looking at Anthony, who was stunned by his quick reaction, and suddenly laughed. "I forgot to introduce, I'm Theolod Lecht, your Ripley, and the other blonde guy is your 'boyfriend' Dickey, Jude Law, and the rest of you don't need to be introduced. Theolod said, bending down slightly and extending his hand to Gwyneth, "Our director wanted to invite you to be your companion for tonight's dinner, but you're so beautiful that he's a little embarrassed to come forward now." I wonder if I have the privilege of helping him invite you as his female companion?"

Gwyneth blinked, looked at Theolod, who could make anyone fall in love, then looked at Jude behind him, who was smiling, and finally looked at Anthony, who had a strange expression, and finally withdrew his gaze and smiled: "Mr. Lechter, I know your mouth has always been so sweet. ”

As she spoke, she placed her hand on Theorod's palm.

"Seriously, Tony, why didn't you think about letting Theolod play Dickie in the first place?" Jude smiled and almost choked back his internal injuries, and he glanced at Anthony sympathetically and puzzled.

“…… Why, you will know when you are filming. Anthony glanced at Jude in a shuckled manner. You rejoice, you gloat, you will cry when the time comes. Thinking like this, Anthony felt a little more comfortable, he stepped forward, took Gwyneth's hand from Theorod's hand, and glared at Theorod fiercely by the way.

"Gwen, you have to know that this kid is of Italian descent, don't let him fool you. Anthony jokingly exhorted, "Italians can say the most beautiful love words in the world to any stranger." ”

"Hmm...... And what about his other half of German ancestry?" Gwyneth thought for a moment, nodded forcefully and thoughtfully, and then looked at Anthony earnestly.

Well, the director is out of line, he can't convince his heroine of the demonic nature of his male lead.

And his male lead, and his supporting actor, walked behind him very obediently, almost laughing on his back.
