Lance stood next to him, carefully observing Leonardo's every move, jerky and a little nervous, but after getting rid of the burden of memorizing lines, he was obviously much more natural, and he could also feel the kind of rampant domineering that belonged to the little overlord, but at the same time, there was a little derailment - without the constraints of the script, the plot direction was a little uncontrollable.

"Very good, such a table is very good." Lance flicked the ashes of his cigarette, "However, you have to go through the script again, you need to know what the whole process of this scene is, come in first, say hello, threaten the black boy, shoot, catch the cannon...... Simulate it yourself, and if needed, ask Philip to help you react the whole process a few times, and don't forget about it. As for the lines, as well as the performance, it's all up to you to play, I'll see if it's appropriate. ”

After a quick explanation, Lance bent down, patted Leonardo's shoulder lightly, and stared at him intently, "Remember?" ”

Leonardo's first reaction was to dodge his gaze, but he found that Lance's deep eyes were motionless, so that he couldn't move at all, there was nowhere to escape, and all his attention was focused on the deep blue sea, in which, he saw trust and attention. Leonardo's originally somewhat shrunken chest gradually opened, his expression gradually became confident, and then nodded vigorously, "I remember!" ”

Lance straightened up again, turned his head to look at Alexander, thought for a moment, but did not speak directly, but said to the children, "You can rest first, Leonardo, Philip and Black Box can practice next to them first, and feel free to ask Albert if you have any questions." Everyone dispersed, but Alexander obediently stayed where he was, knowing that his appearance was also bad.

Lance couldn't help but feel a little headache, because Alexander and Leonardo are completely different, Alexander's scene needs more inner turmoil, but this is really too difficult for children, not to mention children who have not received systematic acting education. After thinking about it, Lance looked back at Javier and Martin who were standing not far away, "Do you still want to be a journalist now?" ”

Alexander followed Lance's line of sight, not knowing why, but nodded anyway. Then he heard Lance go on to say, "Do you know what is the most important thing about being a journalist? ”

"Brave." Alexander hesitated for a moment, then replied. Dare to go to the city of God to interview, dare to challenge the authority of the government, dare to expose the truth...... If you don't have enough courage and boldness, you can't do it.

Lance pulled out a light smile and nodded his chin slightly, "That's right. But I've always believed that the most important thing to be a journalist is to persevere. Alexander looked at Lance for some reason, "Hold on to your dream of becoming a journalist in the first place, your belief in digging out the truth, and your persistence in not giving up until you reach your goal." ”

Silence, Alexander pondered in silence, "I don't understand. ”

Lance was amused by the words, and the smile that sparkled at the corner of his mouth carried a hint of cheerfulness, "You just have to remember why you wanted to be a journalist in the first place, and that's enough." Alexander nodded as if he didn't understand, but his eyebrows were still full of doubts, but Lance didn't mind, "Do you know why Ah Cannon didn't follow Dumb around?" Why didn't he follow his brother's example, like Benny? ”

"Because he doesn't have the courage." Alexander answered quickly this time, as it was written in the script.

Lance shook his head, much to Alexander's complete confusion, "because he knows how to persevere." Alexander was stunned, "Of course, you can say that his lack of courage is a very important reason, but is he really not courageous?" Alexander? ”

This rhetorical question made Alexander completely fall into his own contemplation. Lance was not in a hurry, but just stood quietly by the side, quietly waiting for Alexander to start thinking.

In the story of "City of God", Ah Pao's dream is to become a photographer, and he does not follow Dumb to joke, but obediently helps out at home. On the surface, he really didn't have the courage, he didn't dare to go wild like Benny and Little Bean; But later, Ah Pao successfully left the City of God and became a photographer, and also helped the newspaper to return to the City of God to take a lot of photos, he was the one who went out, walked out of this limited world, and opened up a sky of his own. So, does he really not have the courage?

No, apparently not.

Ah Pao is the one with the most courage, because he challenges the unknown and walks towards a future that all the children of the City of God are afraid of. Benny and Little Bean, why did they follow behind Ah Mao and Dumb to smash and rob? Because this is the easiest pace to follow, and this is also the majesty that can be seen by the naked eye, they chose the most direct and easy path. But Ah Pao rushed into an unknown territory without hesitation, and he became the only person here to go out.

However, is Ah Pao really more courageous than Xiaodouzi? It doesn't seem to be the case. Xiaodouzi can pick up a pistol and pull the trigger directly without blinking, strangling a fresh life, but without carrying any fear and burden, Xiaodouzi's courage is incomparable to others, so Xiaodouzi became a little overlord and became the real overlord of the City of God.

So, what is the reason that Ah Cannon has become the last person to stand in the City of God? It's persistence! Stick to your original dream, stick to your most essential and purest pursuit, and stick to your heart's desire......

Alexander suddenly understood, raised his head and looked up at Lance, his black and white eyes were clear, but there was an indescribable emotion flickering slightly, "Mr. Strello, do you have a persistence in your heart?" Alexander asked this sentence in English, not Portuguese.

Lance was slightly stunned, he didn't expect Alexander to be able to ask this sentence. Lance knew that Alexander was very diligent and hardworking, and he must have read the entire script of "City of God", but he did not expect that Alexander's understanding of the script was so profound. This child, who has not received any education, is growing up little by little with his efforts.

Alexander looked into Lance's eyes, which were always covered by a thin layer of mist, but at this time, the layer of mist quietly disappeared, revealing those bright eyes, like thousands of stars falling into the Milky Way, and then saw a shallow smile welling up in his eyes, "I hope." Alexander could hear the low tugging of his voice, and he could even feel the vocal cords tremble slightly, like the vibration of a bow as it crossed the strings.

But in just a moment, Lance blinked, and all the love disappeared in an instant, almost making Alexander think that all the emotions just now were his own delusions. "So, do you now know how this scene is going to be played? Remember this kind of love now, you are afraid of the little bully, this is a fact, there is nothing to be ashamed of, you hope to be able to avenge your brother, but you don't have the courage, so you choose to leave. On the surface, it seems that you lack courage, but the truth is only known to you, and you have just chosen to persist in your heart. ”

Alexander could clearly hear Lance's words in his ears, but his reaction was a little sluggish, and he nodded his head several times, and then only saw the back of Lance leaving, leaving him alone, savoring all the things that had just happened.

Martin looked at the one that happened in front of him, wondering, "You say, is it really useful for Lance to do this?" I just saw him talk to the actors for a few words, so he could help with the performance? Don't...... Doesn't he need to show it himself, demonstrate, and then let the actors figure it out? ”

Javier shrugged his shoulders and said innocently, "How do I know, I don't know anything about acting." "Javier's knowledge of cinema is not much better.

However, the next shooting made Javier dumbfounded, and he knew for the first time that the performances were really different!

After a ten-minute break, the crew returned to filming.

"Grass, little bean, you come to me and bring people." When he opened the door, he saw that it was an acquaintance, and immediately relaxed and put the pistol aside.

Little Overlord swaggered into the room, and the men behind him had already begun to scatter around the room, and they started to move their hands familiarly, "Who said this is yours?" ”

Black Box immediately became alert and stood up again, "What's the matter, Little Bean?" ”

"Hell, little bean, I'm the little bully now." The smile on his face suddenly closed, and the whole person of the little overlord was stern, and the constantly shaking legs with a hint of hanging, stepped forward step by step, raising the whole momentum, and the atmosphere became tense in a blink of an eye, "You're finished!" Bastard! Sure enough, in the next sentence, Xiao Bawang raised the pistol and aimed directly at Black Boy's head, which made Black Boy so frightened that his legs were weak, and he almost fell down after a stumble.

"Don't kill him, he understands!" Benny stopped the little overlord, and the little overlord looked a little dissatisfied, and turned around to find that it was his childhood friend who stopped him, so he withdrew his eyes and looked at the black boy impatiently. Benny hurriedly said, "Right, Black Boy? ”

"I'll give you everything, I don't want to get into trouble!" Black Box immediately surrendered.

But the little overlord was unforgiving, and he still pressed step by step, which made the black boy completely messed up. Ah Cannon was standing behind Xiao Bawang, he had a pistol in his hand, he just had to pick it up and shoot it at Xiao Bawang's close back, and he could avenge his brother.

Ah Pao glanced down at the pistol, raised his eyes again and glanced at Xiao Bawang, his face was full of intricacies, but he didn't reach out after all.

"Bang", at this moment, Xiaobawang pulled the trigger and hit the black boy directly in the calf, "Spare your life, but you have to work for us, understand?" ”

Ah Pao exhaled lightly, lowered his eyes, and turned away without saying a word. The slumped shoulders were indescribably confused and frustrated, but there was no pause in his footsteps, and he resolutely walked towards the door.
