142 Narrow Roads
Gwyneth stood in front of Lance, looking at the face close at hand, the ripples in her heart still rippled irrepressibly, and the passage of time seemed to be slowly precipitated in that heartbreaking blue, which made Gwyneth couldn't help but take a small step forward, and raised her hand to touch the face, but the thin corners of her mouth outlined a shallow arc, with a hint of mockery and a hint of warning, which made her suddenly wake up, and raised her right hand to brush the broken hair in front of her forehead, "Lance, Long time no see. ”
Lance took his gaze back, landed on Gwyneth, and said casually, "I thought we had come to an agreement that we had better not see each other again. "It's the first time the two have met since that funeral last year.
Just now Lance felt a little bored in the room inexplicably, and he was a little tired after sitting all morning, so he decided to go to the balcony to smoke a cigarette, but the whole building was non-smoking, and there was no balcony on the second floor, so he could only go downstairs. I didn't want to meet Gwyneth in the lobby on the first floor, but Lance had no intention of saying hello, so the scene just happened just now.
Gwyneth was a little embarrassed by what Lance said, she has always been the one who holds the initiative, and now she is really not used to the prickly attitude in Lance's words. "You know it's impossible for us not to meet, Hollywood is so big, and you're a director again, we're bound to meet."
"What do you mean...... Meet at the awards ceremony, or are you planning to star in my work? Lance's interpretation made Gwyneth stunned again, and the words got stuck in her throat.
Gwyneth was really annoyed, and her temper came up, "So, are you angry at me?" Still is...... Or is it jealousy? Sue me, it's not because of my relationship with Chris? The more Gwyneth spoke, the more likely it became, especially since Lance stood still and didn't interrupt her, which made her suddenly realize that she had found the heart of all the problems, "Please, Lance, it's been more than a year. When I met Chris, I was going through the trough of breaking up with you, and I wouldn't have been able to get through that time without Chris's help. ”
Gwyneth is talking about Chris-Martin, who, after breaking up with Lance, didn't stay in Los Angeles and chose to travel around. During the trip, she met Chris, the lead singer of Coldplay, and the two went from acquaintance to love, and recently there have been rumors that Gwyneth and Chris have plans to enter the wedding hall, which is a lively news in this summer's file.
Lance quietly looked at Gwyneth in front of him, and never spoke. When he saw Gwyneth again, he did feel like a world away, because this is the case, the influence of that relationship came more from the previous life, and now the influence on him is not visible, and he almost forgets that this person once existed in his life.
However, Gwyneth's self-centered words awaken Lance's distant memories, she always was, the proud daughter of the heavens, as if the whole world was centered on her, she was the only sun. Therefore, after he was expelled from Diora Pictures, Gwyneth said that she was under too much pressure, and felt that his decadent aura was putting pressure on her all the time, and she couldn't bear it, so she chose to break up, turned around and left at the lowest point in his life, and then fled like a victim and embarked on the road of travel.
Listening to Gwyneth's words, Lance felt a sense of absurd joy, if he was a bystander, he would also sympathize with Gwyneth, as if she was the loser who was betrayed by her friends, abandoned by her lover, and hit by her career, as if she was the loser who went through the darkest experience of her life.
"So, you don't want to star in my work?" After Gwyneth finished a long sentence aggrievedly, Lance still looked calm and asked seriously.
Gwyneth was choked directly, and before she had time to restrain her grievances, she stared at Lance in disbelief, and her smooth words became stammering, "This...... No...... I mean...... Belch...... I wouldn't mind working with you if I had the chance, or would you mind? ”
"Yes, I mind." Because Gwyneth is not a well-coordinated actor, and her acting skills are definitely not solid, she is like a time bomb for the crew, and no one knows when something will happen.
Lance's crisp words made Gwyneth's expression suddenly become extremely exciting, but then she came back to her senses, with a "you're still jealous" expression, as if she had read through all of Lance's thoughts. This made Gwyneth a little smug - her ex-boyfriend was still obsessed with her after a year, and it was something to brag about.
Lance had no intention of explaining, Gwyneth was nothing to him before, Gwyneth was nothing to him now, and the same will be true in the future. So, there is no need for him to explain, for those who are self-centered, any explanation will have a different version of interpretation in their ears.
Lance leaned to the side slightly, and his eyes fell on Jessica again.
The conversation between Lance and Gwyneth lasted only a few tens of seconds, and most of the time Gwyneth was talking, with Jessica standing there and looking at Lance. She knew that this was the wisest thing to do when she should turn away, but she didn't want to. For the first time, she knew so clearly and unequivocally that she didn't want to leave.
Jessica's mind couldn't help but wonder why Lance interrupted the audition and walked downstairs; She couldn't help but wonder what Gwyneth's appearance had to do with Lance; She couldn't help but wonder if the look in Lance's eyes just now was real or fanciful...... The chaos of thoughts in her mind made her stand still, just silently looking at the graceful curve of Gwyneth's back.
Then she saw Lance again, without warning.
Lance didn't speak, didn't move, just looked at her quietly, the clear blue eyes were clearly visible, not mixed with any impurities, nor mixed with any trace of affection, just looked at her calmly and calmly. This made Jessica's heart start beating again, not chaotic, just once, and then, beating vigorously and forcefully, and the unprecedented vigor took her breath away.
James noticed Jessica's anomaly and then turned around and moved out of the way, leaving Jessica fully exposed to Lance. James couldn't help but nudge Jessica's arm and motioned for her to step forward. Jessica looked at James blankly, and then she heard him say, "Go, go!" ”
Jessica clenched her fists, her feet moving towards where Lance and Gwyneth were before her brain could make a decision. But halfway through, Jessica regretted it, and it was only just now that she was full of pain, and warned herself deeply that Lance was a dangerous person, and she should never come closer; But now, she has repeated the same mistake and taken steps towards danger.
Jessica bit her lower lip hard, and the flap of her lip that had been bitten and swollen just now ached, and then she snapped into her wake up with a sharp pain, and then she jerked around and tried to escape from that position.
But after only two steps, her right hand felt a huge pull, and then pulled her back violently, she lost her center of gravity and threw herself back, the next second, she felt the whole person crash into a warm embrace, the refreshing woody aroma blocked her in an instant, the strange but familiar breath made her can't help but retract her arms, close her eyes, and quietly enjoy the tranquility of this moment.
Lance tucked his arm slightly, then turned to face Gwyneth, "Please forgive me for my faux pas. May I ask you to come to me today, is there anything wrong? ”
Gwyneth couldn't keep up with the pace of things anymore, looking at the two people in front of her dumbfounded, and even a little unable to control her facial expressions, her eyes were full of surprise, and there was a hint of inexplicable acidity, so that she ignored Lance's question and asked, "Is she ......?" ”
The corners of Lance's mouth curled as he teased, "I don't think Chris would like you to care about my private life." Private life, but this word hides too much information, so that Gwyneth and Jessica are both stunned, but Lance seems not to be aware of it, and then said, "So, you came to me today, just to say hello?" ”
Gwyneth was stabbed by Lance's teasing, and she narrowed her gaze in a wry manner, trying to calm herself, she wanted to turn away but she couldn't.
Gwyneth's recent life has not been easy, since the "Shakespeare Love History" upset for her to win the Oscar actress, in fact, her career as an actor has not been smooth, with the passage of time, more and more people are upset about the defeat of "Save Private Ryan", and more and more people think that Gwyneth's actress is a parallel import. Especially since 2000, the works she starred in have suffered four consecutive defeats, and "I want to Fly to the Sky", which was released in March this year, has suffered comprehensive bad reviews from word of mouth, box office and audience feedback.
In stark contrast, the "City of God" has received rave reviews, and Lance has emerged as a rookie director. Recently, the "Day After Tomorrow", which is being filmed, has attracted wide attention, and some media believe that this may be a springboard for Lance to reach the sky. So, Gwyneth thought if she could play the heroine of the work......
Gwyneth adjusted her breathing, trying not to let her pride go wrong again, and she hesitantly looked at Jessica in the crook of Lance's arm, but Lance clearly didn't mean to let her go. Gwyneth could only bite the bullet and say, "I want to ask...... Belch...... I heard that you are now preparing a new movie, have you found a candidate for the heroine? If not, what do you think of me? ”
Finally spoke up.
