124. The first story

What the surrounding people think has nothing to do with the actors who are filming on the set, and the filming continues.

Theorod's act of quietly concealing his right arm was his own induction—after all, it was awkward to stretch out his left hand to shake hands with someone else—and Jude and Gwyneth noticed it, too. Before he could react, Jude said the line that there was no zài in the script:

"Your right arm, what's wrong? This tattoo looks so cool. After he finished speaking, he realized that he had been led away by Theorod again, so he immediately stopped the car and waved at Anthony, "Sorry, guys, I forgot the word." ”

The filming time of the beach scenes was relatively tight, and before the start of filming, Anthony repeatedly emphasized saving time and striving for a one-time pass, otherwise the crew would have to continue to negotiate with the local government to extend the beach rental time. So Jude's tone was full of apologies, and he was ready to be taught a few words by Anthony impatiently, but he didn't expect that Anthony was extremely patient at this moment.

He walked up to the three of them and said in a deliberative and exploratory tone, "Now we have a problem, if we decide to keep this tattoo on Ripley's arm, then we can't continue to ignore it as written in the script." Jude, I like your reaction just now, Dickey must be interested in the things behind this tattoo, and it just so happens that with his personality he will definitely ask it bluntly and without caring about this question in the slightest. ”

Jude glanced at Theorod and opened his mouth, he wanted to admit that it was not his own flash of inspiration just now, but Theorod, but the other party's glance made him tacitly not speak.

"So how to deal with this part now, I think it requires your own cooperation, there is no fixed line script, can you do it? Of course, I can also stop and spend half an hour and let's discuss the specific plot. Even though the shooting time was tight, I didn't want to sacrifice the shooting because of the tight time. ”

Anthony looked at his three actors, or Theorod's eyes to be precise, and said.

As the best director who has won the Oscar, he knows when he needs the director's dictatorship, and when he needs the director and the actor to work together to discuss. Of course, he could have waved his hand and let the three of Theorod ignore the problem and continue to act according to the script, or he could throw them a copy of the script he had already thought of - yes, he did have a copy of the story behind the tattoo that he had come up with now.

But seeing Theolod covering his right arm, and thinking of his innate instinct and creativity for acting, he silently put aside the long-overdue "CUT" along with the plan he had come up with, and he wanted to see how the child, who was born for performance in Pacino's mouth, would deal with it.

"I thought I could give it a try. Jude thought for a moment and said cautiously.

Gwyneth also said that he could give it a try, while Anthony kept staring at Theorod, who did not express his position, and he always felt that Theorod was giving him a very different feeling at the moment, this difference was like ...... He had never known him, or rather, he wasn't sure if it was Theolod or Ripley standing in front of him now.

Because, when he talks to the other two, he speaks so little, like an obscure and misfit listener, no one cares what he says or thinks, and no one cares if he is actually listening.

To Anthony's surprise, Theorod shook his head: "Actually, I think this question can be skipped at this time." ”

He thought that he might be confident that there was no problem, maybe he would be cautious and humble and say that he needed to think about it, but he never thought that he would directly deny it. Anthony looked at him in surprise, and now he saw in his eyes something that belonged to Theorod, a secret pride and confidence.

"Skip? I want to think about it...... In fact, it is not unreasonable, after all, the three of them have only met for the first time...... Well, here's Ripley's tattoo, Ripley's story, that's up to Ripley. Thinking that maybe Theorod wanted to save the story for the period when Ripley and Dickey were "in love", Anthony waved his hand and followed Theorod's meaning.

Continuing the shooting from the place where he had just cudged, Anthony found that although Theorod said to skip the question, he did not completely ignore the existence of his tattoo, but from the moment Ripley showed his outlier body in front of everyone, he disguised his right arm as if he were not there - he could force a "poor man's complexion" He looked natural on the beach, but he couldn't force himself to ignore the tattoo on his arm, but instead hugged his right forearm with his left hand, as if he was running away or feeling inferior or something.

It's an interesting phenomenon - more than tattoos, it is his inappropriate skin color that should make him feel inferior.

Later, Anthony realizes that he guessed wrong, and Theolod did not plan to save the story for alone time with Dickey. While filming Maggie and Ripley alone in the evening, Ripley suddenly talks about her tattoos, and when they talk about Maggie and Dickey, Ripley talks about his fiancée.

"You must be curious about the tattoo on my arm, right? I noticed that you were paying attention to it for a long time. Ripley said suddenly, but the warm, bright smile on his face didn't feel anything abrupt.

"Uh...... Yes?" Maggie, or Gwyneth, reacted slowly for a while, and she didn't expect Theolod to suddenly mention this problem, but she was influenced by the actor's mother since she was a child, and her Su zhì was very good, and immediately said, "If you don't want to say it, it's okay, after all, this is your **......"

"No, it's nothing, it's for my fiancée, she loves roses and thorn flowers, and I want to bring her favorite things with me every day, even if she's not with me, just looking at it, I can think of her smiling face. Ripley's face had a faint smile of happiness, and the look that almost filled her heart with sweetness and love almost convinced Gwyneth.

However, she knows that Ripley doesn't have a fiancée at all, he doesn't even have a girlfriend, and he lies to Maggie and Dickie that he has a fiancée, partly to paralyze them, and most importantly, he doesn't want to look pathetic in front of this passionate couple, he wants them to know that he is also happy.

For a while, Gwyneth didn't know whether to say that Ripley's acting skills were good, or that Theolod who played Ripley's acting skills was good.

Obviously, Ripley's story of tattooing for love to Maggie is just another lie he has fabricated, but why would he lie in order to continue to prove his happiness to others in a pathetic way? This is the first time that Anthony has discovered that he can still be interested in the plot as a director while filming according to the script.

On the first day of the start-up, Anthony was not used to letting everyone work overtime, and at seven o'clock he let everyone take a break. It was summer, and it was still bright at seven o'clock, and Jude wanted to ask Gwyneth and Theolod to go to a nearby bar for dinner, and by the way, to feel the atmosphere of Italians gathering in the bar to watch the game, but Gwyneth wanted to go to the nearby specialty shops, and in the end only Theorod accompanied him.

Jude originally wanted to talk about the legal drinking age, but Theorod listened for a long time, and could only reluctantly say that the legal drinking age in Italy is sixteen years old, but this restriction is in vain, and if you go to the bar to drink between 6 and 9 o'clock in the evening, you can enjoy the food in the bar as much as you like by paying a few euros of aperitivo.

Then Jude saw the other side of Theorod's slender and graceful skin. When he entered the bar, he only ordered a bottle of dark beer, added a few euros, and ate almost everything in this relatively large local bar, even the nuts, and finally ate a little unsatisfied.

At that moment, Jude had only one thought in his mind: if he took Theolod to the buffet, it would definitely be a profit and not a loss!

The game on television quickly caught Jude's attention, and Theorod glanced at it and looked away. He only knows a little about this kind of sports, not to mention that the teams in this world are too different from his previous life, and he can only talk a few words about football, and if he talks deeply, he doesn't understand and doesn't care. Jude, on the other hand, has one of his hobbies of watching games at home.

As soon as Theorod looked away, he saw three people at another table in the corner, two women and a man, who were looking this way from time to time, and when they saw Theorod looking over, the suspicion in their eyes turned to joy and excitement. Theolod looked at their faces and felt a little familiar, and then remembered that it was the two ladies who had accosted him and Jude at noon.

Italians, both men and women, are much warmer than people from other countries. The two girls immediately stood up and took their notebooks and pens, and walked towards Theorod and Jude, and the men who were with them could not hold back, so they could only look at Theorod helplessly and apologetically, and when Theorod smiled at him soothingly, he was slightly stunned, and hurriedly looked away, making Theorod wonder if he had done something wrong to annoy him.

The two ladies didn't seem to notice the man's expression, and they came to Theorod and Jude, who immediately stood up gentlemanly, and Jude noticed that someone was approaching, and he withdrew his eyes from staring at the TV, and found that it were two women with familiar faces, who also stood up.

"Good evening, Miss Lusa, Miss Erice. Theolod said hello in Italian.

"You...... Do you remember our names?!" The two girls' eyes widened in disbelief.

"Why not? You've introduced yourself, and you're the first enthusiastic friend we've met here, and I'm not going to forget the nice name of Jì. Theolod smiled and pointed to the paper and pen in their hands, "Do you want to sign it?"

"Is that okay?"

"Of course, we are more than happy to. Jude smiled gentlemanly and friendly at the two ladies, but he had something else on his mind.

This kid is also too good at talking, his mouth is sweet and warm, but there are no scandals, it's incredible.

"Can we join?" said the blonde girl Eliche boldly, and Lusha quickly pulled her, thinking that no star would want to be bothered by fans all the time.

"Hmm...... I don't think so. Sure enough, Lutha saw Theolod look embarrassed, but his next words surprised her.

"I want to go outside for a walk, so I'm afraid you can't join me. He gestured to the wine glasses on the table between the two of them, "But you might be able to join Jude, I was still agonizing what to do if I left this guy alone." ”

“…… Are you sure?" Jude looked at Theorod unexpectedly, he didn't expect to have a beautiful woman to chat with Theorod and wanted to go out for a walk. He's married, and even if he makes an occasional joke, it's only a verbal joke, and if he's still single like Theorod, he doesn't mind having a beautiful woman with him, but for now...... God testifies that he loves his wife, Sandy.

"Don't you want to watch a ball game?" Theorod patted Jude on the shoulder, smiling harmlessly at him.

Jude suddenly felt a lot of pressure to do and a long way to go, and he understood that Theolod was clearly throwing off the burden!

"Well, Theo, my brother Eugenio is not interested in the game either, so let him take you for a walk, he is familiar with the streets of Positano. Lusha suddenly mentioned.

“…… Lusa!" Eugenio shouted hurriedly.

"Neo, aren't you happy?"

“…… No, it's just ......"

Seeing his embarrassed look, Theorod immediately said, "Actually, I've been here before, and I can just follow the roads I know, so I don't have to bother......"

Theolod just wanted to refuse, but Jude, who had just been pitted, also had the intention of being a pit man at this time, and interrupted him with great "concern": "Yes, Theo, what should you do if you are unfamiliar with life alone and get lost? It's good to have a guide." Alright, let's meet here at nine o'clock. ”

Theorod and a beleaguered Eugenio were pushed out of the bar. In this regard, Theolod could only sigh and look at the other party apologetically: "If it's not convenient, we can go find another bar." ”

"Of course not, I'd love to lead the way for a good and perfect actor like you, and it's like a dream to be with you. Eugenio straightened up his expression and smiled warmly at Theolod.

For some reason, Theorod suddenly had the illusion that he was being accosted by a passionate Italian guy on the street...... Maybe he hadn't been back in Italy for too long, and there was a generation gap with the current Italian guy.

The Italian then confirmed his familiarity with the streets of Positano, and he always told Theolod about the history of the town in a romantic and enthusiastic tone, telling some interesting or romantic stories. Perhaps it was a racial gift, a sunny and sincere smile could be seen on Theorod's face whenever he looked at him, and he was very talkative, hardly any cold or boring time during the nearly two hours of Theorod's walk.

If it weren't for Theorod's knowledge of the character of half of his home country, he would have mistakenly thought that the attentive Mr. Eugenio was courting him.

Despite the language barrier, Jude seems to have a good conversation with the two ladies, and the three eventually send them to the hotel before reluctantly leaving. Theolod had just walked to the door of the hotel when he heard the voice of the enthusiastic young man behind him: "Theo, I'll ...... after that Can you go to the set and watch you film?"

The expectation and caution in his voice were too obvious, which made Theolod laugh: "Of course, as long as the director is not clear, fans can go to visit the class." ”

"That's great, I think I'll be able to dream of you today, I wish you a good dream!"

"Well, good night. ”

Theorod and Jude walked into the elevator, Jude glanced at Theorod's side face, and quipped: "Look at that gentleman's lingering energy, I don't know and I thought I was saying goodbye to my girlfriend, my dear Theo, he must have taken a fancy to you." ”

"My dear Jude, this is an Italian, don't you think Neo's kid is actually quite cute?"

This kid ...... Jude shook his head, and gestured with his two hands to shoot like Dickey, "I'm not as cute as you, Ray, if I were Peter, maybe I'd start to be jealous, but luckily I'm your favorite Dickie, and he can't love you as much as you love me." ”

“…… It's good if you're happy. ”
