Before I knew it, the time came to the beginning of October, and the filming of "As Always" came to an end. It has been two months since the start of filming in late July and early August, and the filming cycle of "As Always" as a modern urban drama is actually not long, if it weren't for Norton, who is a director, is a novice, the movie may be completed in mid-September.

Of course, this is also the reason why Theolod has to take time to participate in the promotion of "Talented Ripley" from time to time, which delays a lot of filming time.

Nowadays, there is a lot of talk about the seed films of the 57th Golden Globe Awards and the 72nd Academy Awards, not only the producers, but also many media seem to regard "The Talented Ripley" as one of the popular films to hit the Oscars this year. At this time, the ambiguous plot of "The Genius Ripley" involving homosexuality has long been a semi-open secret, and this taboo topic somehow hit the g-spot of the media - how incredible it is that the Oscar candidate is actually related to homosexuality!

Will Theorod be able to rely on his acting skills under the pressure of this congenital prejudice, and will "The Talented Ripley" be able to rise to the challenge, break the curse of gay films, break through the encirclement, and win an Oscar? Or will it fail at this year's Oscars?

Before the film was officially released, many media who were afraid of chaos in the world changed their previous tone of singing and declining without even knowing how Theolod would perform, claiming that if Theolod could win the actor crown this time, it would not only refresh the record of the youngest Oscar winner, but also mean that this is a revolution between unpopular films and academic films, which will create history!

It is unclear whether the enthusiasm of these media outlets is due to Miramax's PR campaign or because they have an ulterior purpose. Perhaps Miramax's propaganda team and Marshall's propaganda team dragged the relationship between the newspaper and hyped it up a little, and other newspapers joined in one after another. Or maybe some of them just want to dig a hole for Theorod and Ripley the Genius.

It's not once or twice that the media like to play tricks and kill, and the higher they blow Theorod, if he even has a moment of excitement or follows their tone to express his opinion on the Oscars, the result will come out, and the worse he will fall. They weren't worried about what would happen if Theolod really won the award in the end, after all, they didn't sing down now, this was praise and praise, and they couldn't slap their faces when the time came. Of course, the chances of winning this award are really too small, the so-called revolution will make history just they talk casually, and they won't lose anything by talking about it, and those old guys won't really reward the little golden man to these aliens, and then they can laugh at it to their heart's content.

More likely, they just want to make the academics more vigilant and provoke their rebellion in this way - you think that this movie alone can break the Oscar tradition and make a revolution? Okay, then we won't give you an Oscar.

Besides, isn't there still such "conceptually correct" films as "American Beauty" and "Miracle in the Green Mile"?

However, no matter how noisy the outside world is, Theolod is like an outsider who is isolated and immersed in his own small world, and does not care about the praise or disparagement of these media, and at this stage he only wants to play this last scene well, as for the Golden Globe Awards and Oscars...... This movie hasn't been released yet, and voting hasn't started yet, what's the hurry?

Norton schedules Jack's role in retrieving Anna for the last scene. Although this part of the scene was arranged in two adjacent buildings in the film, the actual shooting was done with the help of two platforms and a green screen.

After breaking up with Jack, Anna was disheartened and prepared to return to the company in Los Angeles to continue working, and Jack, who was enlightened by Brian, also understood what he wanted at this time, he abandoned his disciples, rushed out of the chapel, and rushed to Anna's company, ready to leave her before Anna left, but was hindered by the security guards, and could only run to the office building opposite Anna's office.

Anna had talked to Jack before about a man in the office opposite her who liked to have office romances in the office, and she would always sneak a peek with a telescope when she was idle and bored. So Jack went straight to the amorous man's office to try to get the attention of Anna, who was saying goodbye to the staff in the opposite building, but luckily, he caught up and managed to get her to pick up the office phone.

"Anna, it's me, can you see me? The glass of your building is reflective, I can't see you......" Theolod's first line was honestly read out according to the script, but Norton, who stayed behind the camera, knew that he would never be so comfortable in the future, because he had gotten a few pieces of cardboard before filming started, and he wouldn't show him or Jenna, and if Norton was coerced out of his directorial status, he would move out the corners of his mouth that he had beaten out of bruises.

Well, he's really not a casual director, if it weren't for their relationship being too good and he trusting his acting skills too much, he wouldn't have nodded his head.

"I can see what you're doing?" Anna looked at Jack across the building, surprised.

"I want to see you, I've been grinding downstairs in your building for an hour, but your security is better than the Pentagon's!" Jack said hurriedly, his voice a little faster than usual, the tension in his tone was not obvious, but it was there, "I, I want to talk to you, can I get over, baby?...... You...... Are you on hands-free?"

"Yes, that's right, and I'm not your darling anymore, remember? ”

"Okay, okay...... Sorry to call you baby, you know it's just... Uh, you know, my speaking habits. Jack stared intently at the building across from him, clenching the microphone in his hand. Although Theorod can clearly see Jenna on the other side now, Jack will definitely not be able to see it after post-production, so although his eyes are firm at this time, they are still a little trembling and distant.

He knew that all of Anna's colleagues stood opposite, and Jack, who had long been accustomed to speaking in front of everyone, was now nervous like a child who had confessed for the first time, he had always shown himself as a prodigal son, he did not dare to let others know that he was not good at women, he hoped that he would always be the perfect priest in the eyes of the world.

However, at this moment, for the sake of Anna, for the first time, he faced his own cowardice.

"Only you and Brian know that Flim Flam is just my reflex to all women, it has become a habit of mine, I can't help but say this, only in this way can the lady not notice my nervousness, like now, I am so nervous, I want to go on like this, it won't be long before I say too many untrue romantic things, and then you will hang up on me......"

Jack paused, and though he couldn't see Anna, his eyes were still steadfast. He took a deep breath to calm himself before continuing, "I don't want to do this, my dear, I've been thinking a lot lately...... I... I know you won't trust any of my flamboyant tongues anymore, and I don't want you to think that what I say is a lie, so, so I guess I should stop there......"

Jack said this, putting down the microphone and picking up some large cardboards on the floor.

The first on the cardboard, with a black marker, clearly reads: Annabanana.

This was the nickname they had given Anna as a child, and Anna, or Jenna, didn't know what Theolod was going to do, so she could only fold her arms and look at the man with the sign across from her with a frown. However, her frowning brow gradually loosened because of the cardboard, she involuntarily opened her eyes wide, covered her mouth, and at some point, her eyes gradually moistened-

I know this is my last chance.

But my brain is like this......

(A piece of white cardboard with no writing)

You're always right.

And I've been blinded by myself.

Although you can't be my faith.

Although I can't give up my church.

But for me, you have nothing to do with faith.

You are my whole world.

You are my Day of Atonement.

I don't want to leave regrets about our separation.

So, let me say these words:

i’minlovewithyou。

I don't want you to leave.

Please don't leave me alone.

Jack dropped the last piece of cardboard, picked up the microphone again, and said a little nervously: "You, do you see clearly? I may have a little shaky hand and a little fast to change the board, if you don't see clearly, I ......."

Jack said, and was about to crouch down to pick up the cardboard and go over it again, but Anna scolding with a crying voice came over the microphone: "What the are you waiting for?!"

"Uh......"

Before Jack could react, Anna on the other side dropped the phone and ran away. It took him a few seconds to react and immediately rushed towards Anna's building.

Then he was stopped by a left hook from the doorman.

At the end of the scene, Norton finally understands why Theolod said nothing before that he didn't want his partner Jenna to see the cardboard. When those cardboards landed one by one, the camera faithfully recorded Jenna's expression from doubt to surprise, and then from surprise to surprise, until the final emotional change in her eyes moistened, if she had known these contents in advance, I am afraid her expression would not have been so natural.

In the end, Jenna also excitedly said to Theorod: "If my boyfriend is so romantic, I will marry him on the spot! Theo, the person who can be your girlfriend must be the happiest person in the world! How did you come up with that?"

"What I thought of when I saw Jack prepare a large piece of cardboard to attract Anna's attention, according to Jack's character, it is not bad to confess directly on cardboard. Theorod replied truthfully.

"Don't let him fool you, Jenna, you need to know that Italians are the best at that. Norton mercilessly "poked" Theolod, "Man, are you going to chase your sweetheart with this hand in the future?"

It seems that he has not forgotten that he once said that he has a favorite person, Theolod silently rolled his eyes when he heard this.

After the completion of "As Always", Theolod entered the final promotional period of "The Genius Rippleley". During this time, he had to fly international flights every once in a while, participating in promotional campaigns in the United Kingdom, Italy, Germany, France and Spain, followed by interviews with film magazines such as "Oprah Talk Show" and "Empire".

"The Genius Rippleley" is scheduled for December 2, and I am afraid that I will have to be busy again in the past two months.

So, what kind of gift do you have for Natel this year? Theolod held his chin in one hand and thought absentmindedly as he listened to Natel's itinerary one by one. 166 Reading Network
