Jessica almost ran away, and she followed closely behind James and walked away quickly. The remaining reason in her mind clearly told her that the man was a demon, and that there was a dangerous aura all over his body, and that almost irresistible fatal attraction made her so confused that her mind could not calm down and think, his eyes, his smile, his demeanor, his voice...... It's like a breath that lingers under the wings of the nose and can't get rid of it.

The only thing she needed to do was run away and get away from him.

Watching Jessica's back leave, George smiled at Lance in surprise, "God, what did you do to her?" ”

Lance shrugged, "Harry Potter spells? ”

George's eyes widened, then he nodded his chin and said seriously, "It seems that I should have a plan to read the original book on my agenda." ”

It was just a small episode, and Lance and George were back to lunch, and the meeting was quickly over after an hour. Lance didn't stay any longer, and then went back to the editing room and got back to work with Aaron. From afternoon work to evening, both of them were so busy that they forgot about themselves.

"Lance, I know what you mean, but you don't realize that there are enough long shots here, and adding two more seconds will not only make the audience feel nauseous, but even sickened; And it also ruins the overall rhythm of the film, as you switch between panoramas, close-ups, and close-ups at a certain pace, and if you add two more seconds to the long take, the rhythm will be disrupted and look very abrupt! ”

Aaron roared at Lance with a red face at this time, and crackled a lot of words, but he didn't breathe, and he did it in one go, so that Lance had no room to interject at all.

Lance shook his head and shook his head violently, "No, it's not like that, you didn't realize my intentions!" I just want the audience to be sick to their stomachs, I just want to disrupt the rhythm! ”

Aaron looked at Lance dumbfounded, and finally burst out, "Grass! You lunatic! If that's the case, I refuse the job and I'm quitting! This is the one hundred and thirty-third time that Aaron has said this in the past week.

Lance directly ignored Aaron's words, "In this scene, there are no bloody scenes, no violent scenes, just a very short gunshot, and the rest of the parts are covered by disco snowflakes, and the audience can't see clearly." Therefore, I need this long shot to brew out that kind of cruelty to the extreme, I just want the audience to be afraid, to make the audience disgusting, and to make the audience sick to their stomachs! Remember our previous discussion? When does the audience think? ”

"Is this now, a two-second shot?" Aaron immediately interrupted Lance's words and spoke sarcastically.

"Yes, it's just those two seconds!" Lance's affirmative answer choked Aaron again, "Did you realize?" Why did Benny die suddenly? On top of the pie duì where he announced his engagement, at the happiest moment of his life, at the moment when he was about to leave the gang and live an ordinary life, but Benny died suddenly? Why? Aaron didn't speak, "That's what I mean, there's no reason!" It's not retribution, it's not fate, it's life. In the City of God, all the happenings are chaos, and we can't find a reason for it. What is the real reason? is the question that every audience needs to think about after watching this movie. ”

The scene that two people are arguing about is a turning point for the whole movie, and it can be divided into upper and lower parts with this scene as the center. After Benny and Little Overlord established a gangster dynasty, they were almost invincible, and Benny was hospitable, friendly, and social, and the most popular gangster, but just when Benny decided to leave the gang and marry his beloved girlfriend, he died, on his own pie.

The editing and brewing of this scene is crucial to mobilizing the audience's emotions, but more importantly, it is the key to raising the core idea of the film to a higher level.

The abrupt end of a long shot brings a far-reaching aftertaste, which is what Lance hopes to achieve.

Aaron glanced up at Lance and opened his mouth to say something, but in the end he didn't say it, just smacked the wall fiercely, "Grass!" Grass/you/motherfuck/Lancelot! You just don't want to accept 'no' as an answer, do you? Aaron realized that this was what Lance had told him before the editing began, and he now understood what Lance had intent.

Lance didn't laugh angrily, because he knew that Aaron was convinced by himself. Therefore, Lance didn't take an inch either, and looked at Aaron with a look of trust, "Man, without you, this movie really doesn't know what to do." Aaron slapped Lance's hand off his shoulder without giving face, rolled his eyes, turned around and went back to the workbench, and got busy again.

By the time we got to the end of the wait, it was almost midnight. Although they had to rush to work now, the basic rest must still be guaranteed, and Lance and Aaron left the editing room to finish the day's work.

On the drive home, Lance felt exhausted, not only because of the energy involved in the editing work, but also because of the constant need to be wary of George, or others, who had to put on a mask and be nervous and cautious as long as he stood in the sun.

Standing at the door of the house, Lance was still thinking about how the scene at the end of "City of God" should be changed, and when he opened the door, the room was dark, and even the moonlight from the window was tightly blocked by the curtains, which made Lance wonder for a moment - he remembered that he opened the curtains when he went out in the morning, but this thought was only a fleeting moment, and the morning memory became a little blurry because he was so busy today.

Raising his hand, he began to look for the switch on the wall of the door, and with a crisp "click", bright light sprinkled down, dispelling the darkness in the room little by little, "Bang!" Syllable! The sound of hand-pulled fireworks immediately rang out in the room, and before Lance's eyes had time to adjust to the bright environment, he felt a dazzling array of things rushing towards him, and his ears quickly filled with "Surprise!" Surprise! Lance stood stunned as he let the hand-pulled fireworks cover his head like cobwebs.

Surprise pie duì?

Lance looked through the staggered paper fireworks, and then saw Theo, Ian, and Gawain standing in front of them, their heads full of question marks. Gawain couldn't help it when he was the first one, "Lance! How good is that! Jesus Christ, I've been hiding behind the couch for at least five minutes, what the hell are you doing at the door! I'm sweating all over my body right now, and you're not surprised! Oh, God! Ian, I told you a long time ago, Lance won't be frightened! ”

Gao Wen crackled and said, not forgetting jì in his hand to pull out the rest of the hand-pulled fireworks, the intermittent crisp sound and Gao Wen's complaining words were quite joyful.

Lance raised his hand and pulled the paper fireworks off his head, but found that there were too many, a thick layer, almost the level of a fishing net - it must have been that Gawain was too excited, and pulled a lot in one go, which made Lance roll his eyes helplessly, "Wait, what the hell is going on, doesn't anyone explain it to me?" Why is there a surprise pie duì today? ”

Now, it was Theo, Ian, and Gawain who looked at each other, and Theo shoved the things in his hand into Ian's arms, then turned around and walked into the kitchen, and then walked out.

Lance pulled out most of the paper fireworks on his head, and he was finally able to breathe smoothly, "I mean really, aren't you going to explain......" Lance's voice suddenly stuck in his throat, looking at Theo who was slowly walking in front of him, his head was directly in place, like a fool.

Theo was holding a large cake with two number candles on it, one for three and one for zero. Gao Wen, who was standing on the side, couldn't suppress his excitement, and directly began to sing loudly, "Happy birthday to you!" Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday to dear Lance! Ian and Theo also joined in the singing, and Theo's dry and stiff voice made the whole singing extremely comical and funny.

Lance was directly stunned in place, stunned, and could barely control the emotions surging in his heart. The sour nasal cavity almost made him unable to breathe, he forgot about jì, he completely forgot about jì, after midnight, today is his thirtieth birthday. But someone remembers, and there is always someone who remembers for him.

"Hey, boy, look up, make a wish, quick, quick!" Gawain's noisy voice couldn't wait to sound, and he ran directly to Lance's side, ripped off all the remaining paper fireworks with violent means, and kept pushing Lance's arm, shouting excitedly.

Lance wiped the moisture from the corners of his eyes in embarrassment, raised his head, and then saw Theo standing in front of him, Theo, who usually had almost no expression, but at this time with a shallow smile, looked at him with encouraging eyes, and raised the cake in his hand, "Lance, make a wish." ”

Ian and Gawain, who were standing next to them, both looked at Lance with smiles on their faces, waiting for him to make a wish. Lance suddenly burst out laughing uncontrollably, the smile on his lips completely blooming, and the happiness that burst out from the depths of his heart dyed his brows a warm color.

Lance closed his eyes, looked at his cake, and began to make a wish seriously, "May the happiness that guards me never disappear." Then, Lance opened his eyes and was about to blow out the candles, but something very important came to mind, and he patted Gawain's arm, "Big man, let's blow out the candles together." ”

Gao Wen, who has always been cheerful, became awkward at this time, "Today is your birthday, and it's not mine." ”

Lance couldn't help but laugh and glanced at Theo and Ian, "Your birthday is a game day this year, haven't you blown out the candles yet?" Are you sure you don't want to? I'm going to regret it soon. "Gawain's birthday is October 14, which is just over 30 days away from Lance.

From childhood to adulthood, due to the difficulties of life, Gawain's birthday was the forgotten one, and even if he wanted to spend it, it was with Lance, even if it was no longer difficult now, but this habit has not changed. This year, Gawain's birthday was match day, and Lance was in Rio de Janeiro, so as in previous years, no one gave him a favor.

Hearing Lance's words, Gawain immediately waved his fist, and then rushed in front of Lance and directly blew out the candle. The room was plunged into darkness again, and then Gawain was heard laughing triumphantly, "Hahahaha! ”
