971 Slowly approaching
Emma was a little confused, half-asleep and half-awake, unable to distinguish the boundary between reality and dreams, and a picture inexplicably appeared in her mind, Lance stood at the staircase on the third floor, quietly looking at her sleeping appearance, that handsome face with a smile, blooming with unprecedented warmth. www.biquge.info However, Emma doesn't know if this is a dream or a reality.
Looking up, Emma met Cole's friendly smile, "You better go downstairs and sleep, it's too uncomfortable on the couch." Cole looked in good spirits and mood, and Emma remembered that Cole hadn't been to the party last night, "Looks like last night was supposed to be a wild night." ”
In the face of Cole's joke, Emma tugged at the corners of her mouth, responded absentmindedly, and looked back in the direction of the study, which seemed to be the effect of the dream just now, and she subconsciously felt that Lance should be inside. Cole's voice came from his ears, "I'll go to the study to talk to Lance about something, you hurry up and go downstairs to rest, see your eyes are swollen......" The words that followed began to weaken - so, wasn't it a dream just now? So everything is real?
Emma only felt a little confused, from last night to just now, the fragments of reality and dreams were layered on top of each other, difficult to distinguish, and the intricate taste was surging on the tip of her tongue, but she was too slow to taste it. He stood up suddenly, but suddenly he was dazed, looked back at the study again, and then walked quickly towards the staircase, and fled in a panic.
Originally, I planned to go to the second floor, but when I came back to my senses, I was already standing in the empty hall on the first floor, shaking my head, trying to clear my brain a little, but the heavy feeling still lingered.
"Early." A voice came from the direction of the kitchen, and when she turned her head, Emma saw Gawain preparing breakfast, "I shouldn't have had a break last night, right?" Would you like to eat something and then go back to catch up on sleep? In this way, the quality of sleep will be better. Gawain had a warm smile on his face, it was a completely different aura from Lance, and it was really strange that there could be such a big difference between the two brothers.
In a moment's hesitation, Emma's footsteps were already in the kitchen. Gawain quickly set up the plate, took a piece of pancake from the pancake tower stacked high next to him, and put it on the plate in front of Emma, "maple syrup, cream, strawberries......" Gawain put things in front of Emma one by one, "And I'm getting two eggs for you, do you want to stir or fry?" ”
"Gawain, I'...... I can't eat so much. Emma chuckled.
"I have to thank you last night, that's the least I can do." Gawain's words made Emma smile slightly, raise her head, and look at Gawain suspiciously.
Last night, yes, last night. Because she was worried about Lance, although she was still angry, she still followed Lance's steps to the second floor, and then found that Lance had locked herself in the bathroom, and in a panic, she informed Gawain. Surprisingly, after listening to her explanation, Gawain was even more worried than she was, and even went so far as to break the bathroom door, which filled her head with question marks. Faintly, she could sense the anomaly, but she couldn't say why. Now, once again, these questions are back in my head.
"Why...... Uh, I mean, why do you guys look so worried? Driven by curiosity, Emma asked, but her tongue was a little unpleasant, and she always felt that she was probing into other people's privacy, which was not the right behavior.
Gawain's movements paused slightly, and the figure of Lance sitting under the head of the shower came to mind, which reminded him of that summer afternoon, when Lance was curled up in the corner of the improvised toilet covered in blood, trembling all over, and the soul in his eyes was shattered, as if a light breeze would disappear.
Gawain tightened his hands, adjusted his breathing, emptied the fragments of his memories, and smiled at Emma, "Would you believe me if I said that we almost lost each other forever because of some accident?" Emma froze in place for a moment, her heart stopped beating inexplicably, she didn't even know what Gawain meant by his words, but that's it, without warning, holding her breath. Then, Emma saw Gawain laughing brightly and waved her right hand holding the spatula, "Haha, do you really believe it?" "Actually, it's because Lance is not in good health, he has a left hand injury, he jumped into the sea, and we are worried that his old injury will return." You know, he's not as strong as I am. ”
Emma tugged at the corners of her mouth and laughed with Gawain, but deep down her heart was slowly sinking, and the heavy sadness was gently tugging, unable to breathe. She herself didn't understand what was going on, obviously Gawain had already said it was a joke, but her intuition was shouting, Gawain's words hid the truth, things were not that simple, this intuition without evidence, but firmly grasped all her emotions. Suddenly, Emma remembered Lance's aggressive attitude last night, exuding a fierce aggression all over her body, mercilessly hurting everyone who tried to approach - she, the first to bear the brunt. One node at a time is like pearls scattered all over the ground, and without that core clue, there is no way to connect everything together.
The words that came to his lips were swallowed, he picked up the knife and fork again, and was about to start enjoying his breakfast, his eyes swept to the corner of the table, and then he withdrew his gaze, but he couldn't help but be stunned, Emma raised her head again and looked over, looked at it carefully, and a big smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, "'Pure heart'?" It was a retro videotape, a "Child's Heart" tape, and Emma's first reaction was: This is the tape she got from Napa Valley, "This is the 'Child's Heart', right?" But when she looked closely, she found that it was brand new, not the one she had read before.
"Oh, yes. Do you like it too? It's our family's favorite movie. Gawain nodded with a smile and said casually, "But now the videotape is not easy to preserve, and it is very easy to be damaged." I don't know if a DVD version will be released in the future......"
Emma didn't even notice it, the smile on her lips rose slightly, and her eyes involuntarily softened: this is indeed Lance's favorite movie.
Cole looked at Lance, who was sitting on the edge of the windowsill in front of him, and there was a faint dark circle under his eyes, "Are you sure it's okay?" After a night of partying, even if you sleep twenty-four hours, it's no problem. ”
Lance ignored Cole's concerns, and instead asked, "What did he say?" ”
Cole also wisely nodded to the end and did not go any further, "William-Hurt? He didn't have any problems and readily agreed. ”
As a well-known veteran actor in Hollywood, William won the Oscar nomination for Best Actor for three consecutive years in the mid-eighties, and won the Best Actor with "Spider Woman's Kiss", and last year his outstanding performance in "The History of Violence" also won many nominations, but unfortunately Lance, who met "Fruit Hard Candy", was not able to win the Oscar nomination for the fourth time.
This time, Lance invited William to play the role of "The Incredible Hulk" Liberty's father, General Ross, and if it can be successful, according to Lance's conception, it will also be one of the important roles throughout the series of films. is played by an old actor like William, which is naturally the best. However, William did not attend last night's party, and Cole contacted him personally, and the decision was confirmed.
In this way, three seats have been confirmed for the four core roles of "The Incredible Hulk", Edward Norton, Naomi Watts, and William Hurt, each of whom is at the level of an Oscar-nominated person, which is really rare for a commercial movie of a comic book superhero, even the star-studded "Avengers" cannot be compared.
"And what about Browski?" This is also the main reason why Cole came to Lance today.
In fact, this kind of thing is to contact the actors, either Lance himself is involved, or the assistant director or producer of the crew is on the battlefield, but Chaos Pictures is shifting its attention, and the company has been preparing for "Iron Man", and only a few core personnel know about "The Incredible Hulk", so Cole only came to help - as an agent, he directly contacted the actors through the peer network, which could prevent the leakage of information to the greatest extent.
Browski is the villain of "The Incredible Hulk", if the brilliance of the superhero will determine the lower limit of the movie, then the brilliance of the villain will determine the upper limit of the movie. For those mainstream superhero movies, they would rather give up the creation of villains, but also to ensure that superheroes can be wonderful, which is a conservative approach to ensure that the finished product is maintained above the average level, "Iron Man" is also the same to some extent, choosing Iron Overlord, this is the decision to cut the side line to relieve the pressure on the script, but on "The Incredible Hulk", Lance does not want to continue to be conservative - "Hulk" has made Lee/An have a heel, and the "Incredible Hulk" in the previous life is not satisfactory, Rather than conservatively moving towards a tepid outcome, it is better to follow Lance's usual style and take a big gamble.
So, Browski's choice, Lance also intends to be bold.
"I had two options, but I needed to audition for myself." Neither of these actors showed up at the party last night, because they weren't the kind of well-known actors, so Lance needed Cole to make a secret connection and complete the audition. Cole shrugged his shoulders and made a "let it go" gesture, and Lance didn't pause and said, "One is J-K-Simmons and the other is Robert-Knepper." ”
Cole was stunned, thought carefully in his mind, again, and again, but still found nothing, and couldn't help frowning, "Who?" "Why are there two names that I've never heard before, and which ravines and ravines are these two actors coming from? (To be continued.) )
