In the blink of an eye, 1998 has passed like this, and Chris has been in the crew of "American Beauty" for nearly two months. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info In the past two months, he has been going back and forth between the worlds of Chris and Richie. Between the real and the virtual illusion, his heart becomes more and more sensitive, heavier and heavier, and the slightest change in the environment can make him feel sad. He gradually felt as if he had more than one thought in his body, as if he saw something and would unconsciously think about it in the context of another person's outlook on life.

Not only that, but director Sam Menders seems to have a lot of ideas about how the script is understood. Many times during the filming process, he suddenly had a whimsical idea and discussed with the screenwriter and producer on the spot to revise the script, which made the entire crew physically and mentally exhausted.

"It's finally going to end." Producer Bruce Cohen thought to himself. Sam Menders is truly a personality director, and his casual personality and stubborn principles are difficult for even an experienced producer like Bruce to serve.

"Hi Bruce, what are you thinking? Dude, I didn't bother you, did I?" Alan Nord appeared out of nowhere and suddenly appeared next to Bruce Cohen, and he slapped Bruce on the shoulder in a funny way.

“****！ Alan, what the hell did you get here? Bruce shouted back with a fist to Allen.

"Hmph, my actor is in this crew, why can't I come." Alan replied.

"Oh, it's Chris Vince, yes, he's a very talented actor. But you don't have to worry so much about him, do you? Bruce asked, frowning, turning in the direction of the crew.

"Yes, a nice boy, he's Sarah and Edward's nephew, Bruce." Alan looked at Chris's figure in the distance and replied faintly. The February morning sun in Los Angeles shone through the branches of the trees on both sides of the road, and his face was already wrinkled, looking lonely and vicissitudes.

"What! Sarah's nephew, my God! Bruce suddenly turned around and looked at Eren with wide eyes and exclaimed, "You're going to forget it, Alan!" You must forget about it! ”

"Take it easy, old friend, we're just an actor and an agent. I'm just talking to my actors today about the script, don't make such a fuss. Alan hid his sadness with a smile, and he patted Bruce on the shoulder with both hands and said, "I'm going to see my actor perform, do you want to come?" After speaking, he walked towards the crew.

"This madman!" Bruce looked at his back and sighed, then shook his head with a wry smile and hurried to follow.

By the time the two of them walked to the filming location, the crew was fully prepared for this location. Chris was pleasantly surprised to find Allen in the crowd around him, although he often contacted by phone, it was the first time Alan came to the set to see him, which made Chris's mood a little better. He smiled and said hello to Allen briefly, and when he found that the director was about to rush, he quickly ran to the track camera to prepare for the shoot - because of his slow movements, he was reprimanded by the director more than once.

This location is filmed of Jane refusing to ride in Angel's car for the first time after school, but instead walking home with Rich despite Angel's objections, and the two have an exchange on the way. This is Chris's last exterior and final scene. Originally, according to the script, they were supposed to return in a car with Angel. But after the filming was over, the director decided that the step-by-step relationship between Jane and Richie was not shown, and that their acquaintance and communication was a key clue to the development of the whole thing, so he chose to film a group of the two of them going home together.

"Are you ready to pay it back?" The director shouted.

"Camera OK!"

"Radio OK!"

.....．

“action！” The director shouted, and filming began.

On the highway, Chris and Sora play Richie and Jane walking slowly in the middle of the road, respectively. In this scene, the director adopts a still-point symmetrical shooting technique, with the camera fixed behind them. The tall and thick trees on both sides of the road are lush, there are bursts of birdsong and the sound of the wind blowing leaves, there are no pedestrians on the road, and three funeral cars are driving in front of them, and the whole quiet world seems to be only the two of them. Their voices came through the headphones of the staff in charge of sound collection.

"Do you like your new home?"

"I like it."

"The previous owner used to feed stray cats, and my mom went crazy and he cut down their trees."

Jane saw the car in front of her and suddenly asked, "Is that a funeral?" ”

Richie said quietly, "Yes, have you ever known anyone who died?" ”

"No, what about you?"

"No, but I've seen female homeless people freeze to death." The two of them walked to the side of the road, and the second fixed camera was pointed at them. Richie then replied, "She's lying on the humanoid path, and she looks so pitiful. ”

"I filmed her?"

"Why are you shooting?"

"Because it's very moving."

"What's so moving?"

"When you see this kind of thing, it's like God is staring at you, and you just have to pay attention to see Him."

"And what do you see?"

At this moment, it seemed like a moment, and it seemed like a long time, Chris suddenly remembered the morning when his family went on a trip, the sun, the breeze, the trees, the green space, and then there was a tragedy without warning, I don't know if there was a God staring at their family at that moment. But he didn't feel sad now, he seemed to be watching the world, all birth, old age, sickness and death were just a cycle of nature, and he suddenly felt that this peaceful world was so peaceful and beautiful.

Although they were filmed in the afternoon after school, they were actually filmed in the morning. It was almost noon at this time, and the orange sun dodged the heavy obscurations of the tall branches on both sides, and shone warmly on his body, casting shadows on his face, flickering and swaying, making him faint for a while, and the breeze turned down the collar into his clothes, and a gentle stroke made him numb all over his body. The "rustling" of leaves mixed with the cheerful sound of birdsong, like a song of nature's fresh and refined music gathered to the bottom of people's hearts, Chris suddenly had a sense of ritual in his heart, dedicating himself to the beauty of the world, and he desperately wanted to embrace and enjoy the world.

In a trance, driven by this sense of ritual, he stopped and turned around, looking at Jian Dark Green's shining eyes. “beauty。” He leaned forward, and then he leaned forward suddenly, took Jane's face with both hands, looked into her beautiful eyes, kissed her lightly on the forehead, and then hugged his body fiercely. At this moment, he is Richie and Chris, and the girl in his arms is both Jane and Sora.

Under Chris's embrace, Sora closed her eyes, her face was hot, and her heart was "plopping, plopping", looking a little flustered. Although I have been in close contact with him in the previous shooting, and even almost **** met, I have already been mentally prepared. God, how could this be, the director didn't say that there was such a plot. She just followed the script's requirements, stopped, waited for Chris to say "beauty" to him, and was ready to finish, and when Chris picked up his face and kissed it, her whole body was messy, just remembering that his eyes were as pure as sapphires and shining, and then she fell into his arms along Chris at a loss, while shouting "Oh my God!" in her heart. Oh, my God! ”

Not only was Sola flustered, but the entire crew was a little dazed, and all the staff members were looking at the quietly embracing figure in the mild sunlight in front of them with wide eyes, while looking at the director Sam Manders.

The director buried his head in the monitor, showing that in the near distance are two rows of green trees extending into the distance, and there is a faint car shadow in the distance, the branches of the trees on both sides of the road and the car shadow in the distance form two perfect intersection diagonals, and the intersection is two quietly embracing figures in the middle of the road, the golden sun on their heads shines, as if they are covered with a layer of soft light, everything is so harmonious, like a beautiful oil painting with a complete composition.

"It's so beautiful!" Sam Menders suddenly lamented that he had been engaged in stage plays for many years and had a far better understanding of composition than others, and even he had to sigh at the surprise brought to him by Chris's unconscious behavior, "What an amazing performance, it seems that Hollywood is going to have an experiential genius actor again!" ”

“Welldone，Prettygood!” Sam Menders shouted.

The people around immediately cheered, and many of them shouted and whistled. The cheers instantly lifted Chris out of his own world, and he looked at the girl in his arms a little dazedly, and then his eyes widened suddenly, obviously remembering what he had done. Sora also broke free from his arms, her cheeks flushed and still a little hot. She saw that Chris was just staring at her a little bewildered and didn't speak, and she was angry, and suddenly punched him in the chest.

"Hey! I haven't seen enough yet. Sora Birch shouted.

"Huh? It's not, it's just a little ...... Hmm......" Chris touched his head and thought about it, and finally lowered his head and said, "I'm sorry." ”

"Haha...... Haha, what's this, I've seen all your nakedness. Sora smiled and said, "But why didn't you tell me before you acted, did the director ask you to do this?" She asked as she suddenly leaned closer.

"Oh, if you don't mind, it's not the director's order, it's just...... Anyway, I just acted subconsciously in the situation just now. Chris breathed a sigh of relief and replied softly.

"Subconsciously? Then you are a method actor, you are so powerful, you have mastered the method of acting at such a young age. Isn't the method school trying to bring back the emotions that burst out of one's true heart back to the characters, then what experience did you think of in the process of performing just now? Sora asked, looking wide in surprise.

"It's so mysterious, I just want to hug in the scene just now." Chris shrugged his shoulders, the atmosphere slowly became normal compared to just now, and his speech became much more neat, "It's just that there was such a beautiful beauty as you just now." ”

"Haha...... Thank you for the compliment, is this a confession? Sola teased.

"Ahem, huh?"

"Haha...... Ha ha! Sora burst out laughing again.

The crew was ready to evacuate one after another, and seeing that Chris and Sora were still talking and laughing there, the assistant director shouted, "Hey! When are you two going to talk, if you have anything to say, you go back and talk about it, and now we have to go back. The two of them turned red, ended their conversation, and hurried to catch up.

"Haha, someone is deliberately taking advantage of our little Sora, don't tell me you didn't mean it, Chris" When he heard the voice, Chris knew it must be Kevin Spacey, and he didn't play tricks on himself during the whole filming, and the two gradually became a pair of good friends. Chris looked up, and sure enough, Kevin walked over with a rich expression.

"Hey, Kevin, it looks like the medicine still can't be stopped, do you want me to get you more?" Chris suddenly thought of the jokes he had often made in his previous life, and he wondered if the people of the American imperialists could understand it.

"What medicine?"

Sure enough, the Yankees still don't understand Chinese humor, and Chris laughed in his heart. "Nothing, do you want to learn how to please a woman? Kevin, I can teach you. Unlike other celebrities, Kevin Spacey's personal life has always been a mystery in Hollywood, he is not married and has no definite girlfriend, and even some tabloids say that he is a deep closet, I don't know if it's true or not, Chris can't help but get goosebumps when he thinks of this.

"yes, dare you make fun of me, Chris." Kevin Spacey feigned anger and said loudly.

"What's wrong with making fun of you, Youdirtyoldman!" Benin suddenly rushed over and laughed and scolded, causing laughter from the people around him.

In the midst of the laughter, Chris suddenly felt a little sad, and stayed on the set for two months, and in two months he became friends with many people. Bruce Cohen, Sam Manders, Conrad Hull, Kevin Spacey, Annette Bening, Mina Suwali, Sola Birch, Chris Cooper...... Not only the actors but also the crew, in just two months of getting along day and night, they went from strangers to acquaintances and then to friends with themselves one by one, and their companionship seemed to have become a habit every day.

Every first time for everyone is important relative to the rest. For an actor, the first time he finishes a work will definitely leave the deepest impression on him. "American Beauty" is Li Ping's debut after becoming Chris, and it has become a turning point in his life, from China to Hollywood, from Li Ping to Chris, from an ordinary person to an actor.
