17. Be yourself
Santa Monica Beach at night can be seen from the tight parking spaces in the parking lot, which is attractive to tourists.
Feng Tangtang has been staring at the brilliant and glowing Ferris wheel, which is dreamy.
"Santa Monica's Pier Carnival, in addition to the Ferris wheel, also has a pirate ship and a roller coaster." Zuo Yan saw that she had been looking at the Ferris wheel, and explained to her, "But this Ferris wheel is spinning very fast, if the heroes and heroines of "Titanic" really come to sit, I'm afraid they won't be satisfied." ”
"Ferris wheel, that's different from pirate ships and roller coasters!" Feng Tangtang pointed to the huge disc in the distance, and the girl's heart burst out, "That's the Ferris wheel!" Rub! Sky! Wheel! ”
Zuo Yan smiled knowingly: "So is the Ferris wheel important with the playground, the beach, the plank road leading to the Pacific Ocean, the restaurant of Forrest Gump, and the No. 3 pedestrian street?" ”
Feng Tangtang heard a lot of playable items, and still nodded without hesitation: "That's right!" ”
"There happens to be an American drama team here today to take the night scene, is it not as important as the Ferris wheel?" The smile on Zuo Yan's face increased, and he continued to ask.
Feng Tangtang looked at the Ferris wheel in the distance, full of entanglement: "Ah, are there any peers filming today?" Filming of American dramas...... I really want to see ......."
Zuo Yan took her in the direction of the carnival: "You forgot what I just said, it turned very fast, sat on it and came down all of a sudden, and the crew didn't end work so quickly." Let's go ride the Ferris wheel first! ”
"Good, good!" Feng Tangtang followed him quickly, as if he was about to jump up.
On the small Ferris wheel, two people sit opposite each other. Feng Tangtang looked at Zuo Yan's side face, and suddenly remembered her previous life, and Zuo Yan invited her to star in the movie with the female supporting role. has been secretly in love with the male protagonist's female partner, framing the female protagonist for illness, just to replace the female protagonist to send things to the male protagonist, blowing the sea breeze on the Bund.
"Zuo Yan, if you make movies in the future, you will also shoot seaside scenes." Feng Tangtang said softly.
He turned around and raised his eyebrows and said, "I also said that I didn't want to see the shooting scene, but I sat down and talked about work." ”
Feng Tangtang tilted his head, waiting for his answer.
"Yes, the sea in China is also beautiful." Zuo Yan pointed to the Pacific plank road under the Ferris wheel, "This plank road looks very long, but in fact, if you really want to take the sea view, the plank road in Qingdao is not inferior." ”
As he spoke, he used the thumbs and forefingers of both hands to make up a frame, "It's still too strict to be commercialized here." ”
"Huh? You don't like commercial seaside? I thought you would be on the Bund in Shanghai...... This kind of place is filmed. The scene that could not be completed because of an accidental death, the lines of that script have always been deeply engraved in her mind.
"The Bund?" Zuo Yan thought for a while, "I'm still such a white fine sand coast, the male and female protagonists are barefoot on the sand chatting and laughing." I'll probably give the female supporting role to the Bund scene. ”
"Hahahaha, the Bund is really for women." Feng Tangtang laughed with relief, "Well, if I have the opportunity to cooperate in the future, I will perform well." ”
Zuo Yan approached her, the faces of the two people gradually drew closer, and she froze in place and did not move. He curled the corners of his mouth and crossed the stranger's "safe line", almost touching her forehead and the tip of his nose. His breath gently caressed her cheeks, watching her cheeks turn slightly red in the neon light, dumbfounded, not relieving.
"What, what?" Feng Tangtang let out a question, and she was frustrated to find that she was always the first to lose in the eyes with him.
"I don't understand, I especially want to see what's in your little head." Zuo Yan quickly stepped back, withdrawing from her "safe boundary", still turning his face to look outside, the curve of his cheeks looking soft and psychedelic in the dim light.
The Ferris wheel stopped, and Zuo Yan beckoned to her: "Let's go, take you to step on my favorite white fine sand." ”
The coastline is two kilometers long, and even if it is packed with a large number of tourists, the crowds do not seem crowded. Feng Tangtang held the shoes in his hand, and little by little he tested the boundary where the sea water hit.
"I'm worried that my skirt will get wet, so I run so close to play in the water." Zuo Yan stood behind him from afar, looking at her with his hands on his chest.
Feng Tangtang didn't reply to him, and ran around the boundary line by himself. The water is clear and cool, and when it rushes over the calves, it has a little bit of fine sand across the skin, and the slight tingling sensation makes people feel very comfortable. She opened her arms and closed her eyes, and wanted to shout a few times in the sea breeze, but Zuo Yan couldn't shout behind her.
She could only silently make a wish in her heart: I want to stand by his side and become his arm.
"Be careful!" Suddenly, a big wave came, and before Feng Tangtang could react, Zuo Yan had already rushed to her from behind her to protect her. The two men hugged each other face to face, her head hitting his strong chest.
Her eyes were so close to the collarbone that was exposed under the buttons of his shirt, trying to restrain herself from swallowing.
The smell of his body mixed with the smell of men's perfume rushed into her nose, completely overshadowing the smell of the waves. She wanted to hug him back, but she was confused to find that she was holding a shoe in one of her two hands.
Zuo Yan wrapped his arms around her, pushing her back three or four steps, pushing her out of the shoreline for some distance before letting her go.
She stood in the distance with a state of shutdown, with only one thought in her heart: she really wanted to throw these broken shoes into the sea.
"I said that if you're afraid of the sea, don't get so close." Zuo Yan touched his back and touched his pants again, "Fortunately, the pants I wore today are thick enough." The color and fabric of your dress, if it gets wet, we don't want to eat dinner. ”
Feng Tangtang came back to his senses: "Huh? Have you lost all your clothes? ”
She hurriedly walked around his back, touched his soaked shirt with her hand, looked at his pants of unknown meaning, and asked anxiously, "What should I do, what should I do?" Do you have spare clothes in your car? ”
Zuo Yan looked indifferent: "It's okay, just blow the sea breeze and do it." I'm a man, and I'm not afraid to get wet. ”
Feng Tangtang is down again, male god, don't you say "wet" with a stern face, okay......
Zuo Yan raised his hand and looked at his watch: "There is still a while before the dinner time I booked, let's go to the plank road to blow the wind, we should be able to do it." ”
The boardwalk of Santa Monica stretches out from the seaside and stretches all the way west as far as the eye can see. Walking slowly on it, you have the illusion that you will walk to the center of the Pacific Ocean. Feng Tangtang followed Zuo Yan's pace, remembering the framing frame he posed with both hands on the Ferris wheel, and he also learned it in style.
"The standard vanishing point composition method is good for making romance movies." She put four fingers out of the box, comparing them to the end of the plank road in the distance. "Road movies are not bad, either. This sense of depth is not enough, it would be nice to have a higher viewpoint, but unfortunately I'm too short. ”
Zuo Yan walked behind her, wrapped his arms around her from behind, and helped her arms to raise up: "Not only do you need to increase your viewpoint, but you also need to deviate a little like this." ”
The breath of his words blew from behind to her ears, and Feng Tangtang felt that the back of his neck was full of his perfume.
"Come, stand on tiptoe and see, isn't it better to combine one-third composition method like this?" Zuo Yan didn't seem to care about this kind of physical contact, and discussed with her intently.
The two of them were so close together that the top of her head was just right against his chin, and if she stood on tiptoe, would she rub against his face?
Give it a try and you'll find out.
She stood on tiptoe hard, Zuo Yan stepped back a little quickly, her hair brushing his chin, I don't know if it was an illusion, she felt for a moment, his lips touched the back of his head.
Thank God, Feng Tangtang thought, it was so wise to wash her hair before getting on the plane, otherwise she would want to throw her hair into the sea.
"Can you see that? Look at this light coming like this, the direction of the depth of field is like this" Zuo Yan pointed to the scene in the frame, his fingers gently holding hers, "This can put the vanishing point in this position." If you have a figure, put it here, or draw it from here. ”
Feng Tangtang has a strong sense of the picture in front of her, and she feels that the composition idea has never been so clear, if Zuo Yan is her teacher, she should become a super honor student.
After all, this is "hand-in-hand, one-to-one" teaching.
"Well, I can see it, and I regret not holding the camera." Feng Tangtang stuck out his tongue with a smile, nostalgic for the convenience of random records in the era of smart phones.
Zuo Yan also smiled, and the breath sprinkled on the back of her head, mixed with the sea breeze, sweet and salty. He let go of her and carried her on.
"The crew of that American drama will shoot until the evening, so you don't have to worry about missing it. We walked to the end and went back around, and we were almost ready to go to dinner. ”
"What to eat?"
"There's actually a seafood market in Santa Monica, and there's countless bars on Third Pedestrian Street. But I'm guessing you're more like looking at the restaurant that parodies the two main characters in Forrest Gump, right on the pier. ”
Feng Tangtang smiled and read out the classic lines of "Forrest Gump": "Life is like a box of chocolates, and the results are often unexpected." ”
Ever since she was reborn, she has been like a child taking candy from a chocolate box every day. Zuo Yan is right, she really likes this movie.
Zuo Yan looked at her: "Actually, my favorite are the other two lines." ”
"What?" Feng Tangtang asked.
He started and read the line: "What kind of person do you want to be in the future?" ”
Feng Tangtang suddenly brightened up and helped him synthesize the classic dialogue: "What do you mean, can't I be myself in the future?" ”
The two looked at each other and smiled, as if they saw Jenny and Forrest Gump at the same time.
"Hey, you're a girl's line."
"It doesn't matter. I think you're good at speaking Forrest Gump's lines. Zuo Yan said attentively and sincerely, "Listening to Uncle Li, you work very hard and do a lot of things every day, and you feel like you are being chased by something." ”
Feng Tangtang raised his head and looked at him.
"Tang Tang, you should find your own footsteps and become yourself. You can, you can be yourself. ”
Just like the first time they met, what Zuo Yan said to her downstairs in the dormitory, her heart was poked again, and her eyes gradually turned red.
She wanted to tell him that I wasn't running after someone, but running behind people. That person is you, the future actor.
