"It's Mexico up ahead, right?" Chris put his hands on his eyes and looked into the distance. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"Yes, across the Rio Grande is Juarez, Mexico." John Marco crossed his hands on his hips and nodded, "Would you like to go to the other side?" It's actually very convenient. ”

"I still don't want to, I just want to come out and relax, but I don't want to cause any trouble." Chris sighed.

"OK! John shrugged indifferently.

Two days ago, Kate said that he should go out more to relieve his stress, but what was any better about him alone in this strange place. That's when he thought of someone. That's right, it's John Marco, who is hired by the crew locally, a big fat man who claims to have a tour guide license. So that afternoon, Chris and Fanny called him, dressed up, and left the city of El Paso.

The place where the trio now stands is one of Texas' two national parks, Big Turns National Park. The Rio Grande makes an almost 90-degree turn in the park, hence the park's name. This is the junction of the United States and Mexico. Mexico and El Paso are separated by the Rio Grande.

From El Paso, drive all the way to the southwest, the closer you get to the park, the more you see the desolate scenery, the road is very dusty, constantly reminding people that this is the hometown of the cowboy of the West. Put simply, Big Bend National Park is an ingenious mix of deserts, oases, and mountains. Majestic mountains stretch and can be seen everywhere, and beyond the Chihuahuan Desert and the stunning valleys eroded by the Rio Grande come into view.

Big Turns National Park is one of the less touristy national parks. At this time, several waves of sparse tourists were busy taking pictures, and Chris looked at the desolate scenery with some interest.

"Why don't we go around first, we won't be able to see such a big place for a while." Chris suddenly turned around and suggested to the two men.

"What if you get separated? Some places here are quite dangerous. Fat John frowned and worried.

"It's okay, everyone has their mobile phones, just set a place to see you before sunset."

"But there's no signal on my phone here!"

Chris's face darkened......

"I'd better follow you, it's my job." Fanny spoke.

"No, I just want to be alone, and then I decide, don't forget that I'm your boss." Chris said in an unquestioning tone.

"Okay then." Fanny pursed her lips and sighed.

Having said this, John reluctantly agreed, but he still asked Chris not to go further to avoid other dangers.

After agreeing on the contact location, they each wanted to go to the place they were interested in. Chris walked aimlessly, in fact, he was not interested in looking at the scenery, but the continuous and close filming process of the crew made him feel a little depressed, and it was still good to come out and take a walk and breathe fresh air.

One did not think of anything, and as he walked, he saw the tree-fringed Chisos Mountains isolated in the desert of Chiwa. He took a shuttle bus to the Chisos Basin on the mountain, where there were inns, restaurants, and a camping area.

If you look at the famous window from the top of the mountain, you can see the V-shaped opening facing the mountains, and you can see the endless desert "outside the window", which is the best place to watch the sunset.

He strolled leisurely to a stone platform, when the sun stopped at the top of the window, and the sun stained his face golden. He couldn't help but close his eyes, take a deep breath of dry air, and feel the waves of air blowing from the desert outside the basin, warm and warm, like a girl gently caressing. Unconsciously, the irritability in his heart was emptied, and he was completely immersed in a state of forgetting about himself and himself.

"Huh?" Behind a large canvas, Sophia looked at the figure in front of her and couldn't help but frown. She had been waiting here all afternoon, and finally waited for the time when the sun was about to set, only to find a tall figure standing in front of her.

She was a little annoyed in her heart, and tilted her head to look at the uninvited guest quietly. Beneath his black messy hair was a knife-like face, his nose was straight and straight, as if there was an unusually proud heart, and the sun passed through his long eyelashes into a fine golden light. From her point of view, the man stood in the middle of two mountain peaks, and the setting sun had already left a golden outline on his side face, and a stunning picture appeared before him.

She was overjoyed, quickly picked up the camera under her, and took a sharp shot at Chris's figure.

When Chris was forgetting about things, he suddenly heard a "click" sound behind him, and his nerves that had been trained by the paparazzi some time ago jumped, and his body trembled slightly.

"Don't move!" There was an exclamation from behind him.

"Yes.... Are you talking about me? Chris opened his eyes and hesitated.

"Uh...... Yes. Sophia's face flushed, "Sir, please don't move yet, okay?" It's a perfect picture and I hope to take it and I hope you agree. ”

"You're going to shoot me? Why should I agree? Although Chris was ruthless, his body did not move.

"Because ......" Sophia pursed her lips and thought for a while, then her eyes suddenly lit up, "because you are blocking my scenery!" ”

"What?" Chris was speechless for a while, "This place isn't your back garden, is it?" What right do you have to ask me to give you a place. His heart moved, and he had the intention of teasing the other party.

Sophia's beautiful big eyes blinked, and she said with a smile: "Although there is no legal constraint, morally you should not walk in front of my drawing board, this is not a gentleman's behavior." Don't you notice that I'm behind you, I've been waiting here all afternoon for sunset, and do you think a gentleman would ignore my sketchpad and get in front of me? ”

"Really?" Chris sweated, "I really didn't notice!" ”

"Do you mean I'm unattractive? What a faux pas for a lady! Sophia rolled her eyes and mocked.

"Nope! No! Nope!" Chris argued loudly, it looks like he's going to learn how to talk to girls, "It's me who was thinking about something just now, and I don't know if I came up!" Sorry for the inconvenience. So, how long will it take you? ”

A sly smile appeared at the corner of Sophia's mouth, and her eyes narrowed, "Five minutes is fine!" I'll start with the bottom of the outline. ”

"Then you're going to make me look better. Haha......"

"Of course no problem!" Sophia replied as she picked up her paintbrush and made up the picture.

After some time.

"What type?" Chris stood a little uncomfortable and couldn't help but ask.

"Post-Impressionism."

"Van Gogh? Gauguin? Chris moved.

"Don't move! Hold on a little longer, and you'll be done. Sophia shouted first, and then her eyes lit up and she asked in surprise, "You also know how to paint?" ”

"I don't understand!" Chris shook his head, he didn't dare to pretend to be a professional, "It's just that I've been exposed to this knowledge in college." ”

"Oh, all right! You can rest. Sophia nodded, then put down the brush in her hand and clapped her hands with a smile.

Chris loosened, moved his hands and feet, turned around, and then looked stunned.

"What's wrong? Am I weird? Sophia asked with a smile.

"No," Chris shook his head with a smile, "I just didn't expect you to be so young and pretty." ”

"Poof!" Sophia seemed to hear something particularly funny, "Haha...... Thank you for the compliment, do you think an older woman would come to a place like this to do a painting? ”

Sophia is not a beauty in the traditional sense, she has a deep face, the lines on her face are very tough, especially the eyes give a very firm feeling, and the thick lips look very sexy. At this time, she was wearing a bohemian white dress, which was really a bit maverick in this masculine West Texas. She laughed loudly, showing her white teeth, her eyes were like crescent moons, her hair and long white dress fluttering in the wind, and the poetry and the distance were there, which was very eye-catching.

"Uh...... too, huh...... I'll see how you draw. Chris smiled unnaturally and walked over to her drawing board.

"Is this me?" Chris was surprised to see some simple lines on the drawing board, piling up into a plausible figure.

"yes!" Sophia blinked, "Of course, there is still a lot of work to be done to complete it, and it is only a prototype now." ”

"Sure enough, it's post-impressionist!" Chris smiled wryly.

"What, don't you like it?"

"It's not that I don't like it, it's just that I'm not used to this style." Chris replied, "I still prefer impressionism represented by Monet. ”

"I love Monet too!" Sophia was surprised, "Actually, post-impressionism is not bad, but it no longer relies solely on the most important light and color of Impressionism, they have made a better extension of the structure and form of things." ”

"Maybe impressionism is more in line with my aesthetic." Chris nodded indifferently.

"Then you must not be able to accept modernist paintings, hehe......" Sophia said with a smile: "Don't talk about this, how about you look at the pictures I took of you?" She pulled out her camera, pulled up the footage she had just taken, and handed it to Chris.

"Huh! It's really good! Chris exclaimed, this is not a compliment, Sophia's photos should have used the diagonal composition of photography techniques. She skillfully combined Chris with the mountain on one side, diagonally with the other ridge of the V-shaped opening of the window. The setting sun dyed the ridge into a golden thread, and Chris below the golden line closed his eyes and a serene expression, as if he wanted to embrace the world.

"Nice diagonal! It's beautiful! ”

"You know that?!" Sophia was pleasantly surprised, a look of pride slowly appeared on her face, "Of course I took the best." ”

"Even if you don't understand it, you can see that the shooting is beautiful!" Chris replied with a smile.

"Haha...... I didn't expect to find such an interesting person. By the way, my name is Sophia, and it's a pleasure to meet you. Sophia happily held out her hand.

"Me too, I'm Chris."

Chris was a little curious about Sophia, but there was nothing to do now anyway, so the two of them chatted slowly.

“OK！ Chris, what's your favorite book? Sophia asked with interest.

"Well, I like both "The Unbearable Lightness of Life" and "One Hundred Years of Solitude." Chris muttered.

"I also like 'Life Can't Bear It', I don't think anyone will dislike it," Sophia excitedly said, "but I don't like 'One Hundred Years of Solitude', it's a little inexplicably violent, and it's obviously not for me." ”

"I like Márquez's imagination, his writing has a Faulkner touch."

"And what's your favorite movie?" Sophia continued.

"'The Rainstorm is Coming.'" Chris replied.

"Time Never Passes ......"

"The circle is not round......," Sophia continued.

"Haha...... Mirko is a genius, and Quentin's Pulp Fiction draws on his narrative structure. Chris laughs.

"I prefer the soundtrack to be characteristic...... Haha......"

The two chatted more and more speculatively, and before they knew it, it was almost dark, and the two had to say goodbye.

"How long are you going to stay in El Paso, Chris." Sophia asked.

"I don't know, I guess it'll take a month or two."

"Then we'll see you back in Los Angeles, did you write down my number?"

"Of course, I hope you create this painting well, after all, I have been standing for it for a long time! Haha......" Chris laughed.

"Humph! I will, I'll give it to you as a gift when I'm done!" Sophia looked at him and said sincerely.

"Really?!"

"Really!"

"Thank you, Sophia. Goodbye then. Chris waved at her and walked away.

"Goodbye, Chris." Sophia smiled goodbye until she couldn't see him, and she pulled out an entertainment magazine from her picture bag, which happened to have a photo of Chris and Kate interacting with it. "See you then, Chris Vaughn." She smiled at the corner of her mouth and muttered to herself.

Chris rode on the cable car, thinking back to the pretty figure on the mountain, and laughed secretly, "See you then, Sofia Coppola." He had watched "The Godfather" many times before, how could he not recognize Sophia Coppola, the famous female director of the Coppola family.

He didn't know that although Sophia had now set up a clothing company with her friends, she had not yet developed in the film industry. The development of this world is a little different from that of Li Ping.
