Chapter 7: Preparation and Conflict

Do you think you're not outstanding?

But in fact, you've always been more beautiful than Angela, because you're more real, because you're ......

You...... Brightened up my life......

You give me hope...... Let me get on with my life......

Want to see the most beautiful thing I've ever photographed?

In the old-fashioned apartment, Chris stood in front of the dressing mirror, under a spell, reading Richie's lines over and over again, of course, in his memory, even if Allen had a relationship with the crew of "American Beauty", it was impossible to get the full script. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info At this point he seems to have the soul of Richie, and Richie is him. From the mirror, you can see: he has a thin face, a handsome face with a slightly nervous expression; The light blue eyes are as pure and mysterious as jewels; His eyes are sometimes calm and indifferent, sometimes confident and longing.

When he looks for beauty in life with DV with calm eyes, he seems to be outside the world and looks at everything in this world with a scrutinizing eye. In exchange for trust with indifference and cooperation in his father's violence, he is confident, intelligent, and protects himself in a way that his father approves.

When he saw Jane, he seemed to have discovered another self, real, lonely, longing, he instinctively approached, pursued, and shared with her what he thought was the most beautiful treasure. When he described the plastic bag fluttering in the wind, it was like falling into the unbearable beauty of this world, and the tears quietly dripping in his eyes were pure and transparent.

He knew the love of his father and mother, and he loved them, but he could not accept the way his father loved him. When finally his father misunderstood himself arbitrarily again, his hidden paranoia and depression began to explode, and he made up the most unacceptable story for his father, and he looked at his father's embarrassed expression, and there was a trace of pleasure in his heart, which finally ended in exchange for the result of being expelled. He seemed relieved. And when he went downstairs and saw that his cowardly mother had asked him to bring a raincoat, guilt quickly filled his heart, he could no longer protect his mother, he could no longer make his father proud, and before leaving, he only had time to say to his mother that she should protect herself and take care of her father.

When finally in Richie and Jane decide to elope for love, they snuggle up in bed, comfort each other, warm each other, and the world is so beautiful at this moment, as if nothing in the world can stop them. Just when they were full of joy and longing for their beautiful life, a gunshot instantly broke the pitiful silence......

When Chris emerges from Richie's world again, exhaustion is written on his face in the mirror. He suddenly felt a wave of weakness, emptiness, and despair that seemed to consume him, as if a short, beautiful and oppressive life had passed in a short time. His hands were in his hair, leaning against the edge of the bed and half-lying on the ground, as if he had no strength to move, letting the tears wet his eyes, converging into a thread, flowing to the corners of his mouth, a salty bitterness from the taste buds to the bottom of his heart.

After two days of exploring, Chris discovers that he seems to have the ability to easily delve into the character's inner world. For an actor, if the deeper the understanding and experience of the character on the script, so that the secondary creation of the character makes the character image fuller, and the character's outlook on life and world view is more perfect, then he will be more free to perform, more real, natural, and even make the audience feel that the actor and the role are one. This is the experiential approach to acting, which requires an actor to have a long mental construction before performing. Mastering the experiential method is not easy, and it often requires the actor to go through a long period of training and conscious psycho-technical training to make the performance natural. Hollywood's recognized acting masters are basically experiential.

Could it be that he was born as an experiential person when he was reborn, could it be that this is the innate skill that comes with being a traverser, he seems to be more sensitive to a stranger's world, and it is easier to enter his heart. Chris was pleasantly surprised and apprehensive, and he certainly knew what a valuable asset this was for an actor, which meant that he could get into the emotions of the character in a short period of time. But the relative problem is that after a play is completed, it is difficult to eliminate the influence of the characters in the play on him in a short period of time. To put it simply, it's hard to play. Chris finally understands why some great actors choose to live in isolation for a period of time after completing a work.

Damn experiential, Chris secretly slandered, and there was still a hint of fear in his heart. He sat on the ground and hesitated for a while, and when he calmed down, he found that his clothes had become sticky because of sweat, and he was very uncomfortable to wear. Chris neatly took off his shirt and flicked it to the laundry basket, revealing his well-defined upper body, then walked quickly to the kitchen and walked to the refrigerator to get some ice water to drink. He opened the refrigerator and saw that it was almost empty, only a carton of milk was in his hand, and it was almost finished. His mouth was dry, his stomach was growling, but he didn't even have saliva, Chris couldn't help but smile wryly and shook his head, he realized that he hadn't cooked a meal at home since he came into this world. How can you lose the virtue of the Chinese nation of being diligent and thrifty, it is time to reward yourself Chris said secretly in his heart.

As soon as he said it, Chris took a shower, changed his clothes, and hurried out of the apartment. If memory serves, there is a big supermarket not far from the apartment. He got out of the apartment building, didn't take a taxi, and walked to the supermarket while feeling the American atmosphere.

I have to say that the United States in 1998 was still quite clean, the winter sun shone warmly, and it rained a few days ago, and the puddles left on the ground shimmered silver in the sun. There are not many people on the streets, and housewives in the park push carts or sit on the grass and watch the children play. The occasional splash of water from passing cars rolling over puddles scatters in the air in a colorful way. Chris squinted his eyes and paced slowly, sniffing the fragrance of the grass and trees, and couldn't help but whistle with his hands in his pockets.

"Crunch...... Puff ......" A sound reached his ears, and before Chris could react, a splash of water splashed on his body, and the coat he had just changed immediately became wet, and the muddy water ran down his hair. Just as Chris's face instantly turned gloomy, a brand-new Cadillac limousine stopped in front of him on the left.

Chris Ninja stared angrily at the car in front of him, and he wanted to see which stupid driver was driving against a puddle on the side of the road with such a wide road. After a while, the Cadillac was still motionless, and just as Chris was about to step forward angrily, the passenger door of the car suddenly opened, and a well-dressed woman in blue stepped out of the car. The woman is red-haired and blue-eyed, tall and thin, and does not look very old. While Chris was scrutinizing her, the woman had already stepped forward quickly.

"I'm so sorry that the car was driving too fast, I didn't hold the steering wheel, and I accidentally turned to a puddle on the side of the road, splashing you with muddy water, I'm really sorry." The woman ran through her hair with one hand, revealing a pretty face, and apologized nervously.

"You are?" Chris asked lightly.

"Aditya, Aditya-Joyce." The other party hurriedly replied.

"Chris Vaughn," Chris said, "you deserve to apologize, don't you know how dangerous it is to drive around the streets?" This is disrespectful to everyone, don't joke with life. ”

"I'm sorry ......"

"And," Chris interrupted with a wave of his hand, "your actions have disturbed my good mood for the day. ”

"I'm sorry, we will compensate you for all your losses, I hope you can forgive." Aditya hurriedly took out a pink purse from her purse, and then unabashedly pulled out two large denominations of dollars and handed them over.

It seems that the other party is really an unworldly woman, Chris thought, he stared at the other party's move and rolled his eyes, and did not immediately reach out to take it.

"It's not you who drives!" Chris asked suddenly.

"Ahh What the? Aditya was startled, and in a hurry, she pulled out two more coins and held them up to Chris, "I beg your pardon, sir, these are enough to compensate you for your losses." ”

Chris was a little curious, he ignored Aditya's actions, turned his head to look at the driver's seat of Cadillac, and walked straight over.

"Alas! Mr! Aditya was in a hurry and hurriedly chased after him, "Sir, you can't ......"

"Dangdang," Chris walked over to the driver's seat and tapped lightly on the window, "you should apologize to me personally!" He shouted at a seat-leaning figure in the car.

After a while, the window glass slowly fell, revealing a blonde woman with sunglasses that covered half of her face, "I'm sorry, if you need to, sir." ”

"Uh......" Chris was stunned, the woman's voice was very low, and he couldn't help but look at the other party carefully. From the edge of the sunglasses on the woman's face, you can see that her face is contoured and hard, her lips are plump, and the corners of her lips are distinct, giving people a unique temperament with a strong aura, which looks a little familiar.

"Uh...... I certainly need your sincere apology, you know what, you ruined my good day. Chris looked down at the other and said in a deep voice.

"Well, I solemnly apologize to you, I'm sorry for ruining your clothes and your good mood." The woman in the car pondered for a moment, then turned to Chris and said sincerely, "How do you need me to compensate you for your losses, sir?" ”

"Your sincere apology," Chris touched his nose and nodded, "Of course there is this," he turned around and pulled out a dollar from Aditya's hand, then shook it into the car and said with a smile, "One is enough, I hope you can drive carefully, it's your luck to meet me." ”

"I will, have a nice day!"

"Really?" Chris tugged at his clothes and gestured to the other party.

"Uh...... When I didn't say, Aditya, it's time for us to go! Despite his glasses, Chris could still feel the other brow furrowing and rolling his eyes.

The car slowly left, and Chris shook the muddy water off his body on the spot, pursed his lips, and wondered if he should go back to his apartment and change his clothes. "Whatever! It's already halfway through, let's talk about shopping! He thought for a while, then turned around and continued to walk towards the supermarket with his head held high and the strange eyes of passers-by.

In the supermarket, Chris pushed a cart of vegetable stalls and walked around the meat counter, and after a while, he filled most of the carton, and then took a few cartons of milk and walked out of the supermarket after settling the bill. Of course, because he didn't have a car, he could only go back with a big bag of things in both hands, but fortunately, he had a good physical exercise, and these things still didn't feel heavy in his hands. However, with his dirty hair, wet coat, and tough face, he really has the taste of an American sharp brother, which naturally attracted the attention of passers-by.

"Oops!" As soon as he opened the door of the apartment and put down the things in his hand, Chris suddenly saw a poster on the wall, which was the former idol of Chris, Xiao Lizi, standing handsomely on the golden staircase with a proud expression.

"I said how familiar it is, that woman can't really be her!" Chris snapped his head and exclaimed. In his heart, a huge ship slowly sailed by, and of course a white and greasy figure appeared in front of him.

If you select the important events in Hollywood in '98, then there will definitely be that giant ship that crushes everything. That woman turned out to be Kate Winslet, one of Li Ping's favorite actresses in the old time, the actress with a full temperament and a strong heart.

I forced her to apologize to herself before? Chris stood there like he was stupid......
