"It's a very connotative question. : Text: Novel 3w. し Wxs520.CoM" Heath commented, he leaned back and leaned against the edge of the sofa, "What is love...... For me, love is how Mantos feels when he sees Coke, and no matter what age he is, she fulfills all his expectations and imaginations, and vice versa. This is the most idealized love in the movie. ”

"Your understanding of the concept is surprisingly pure." Jenny commented.

Heath shrugged his shoulders and didn't deliberately play silly - after breaking up with Michelle, he returned to the playboy life of the nocturnal song, and was a supermodel fan like Leonardo and Chris, sometimes having two talented actor girlfriends, but both lasted short.

"I'm talking about the most idealistic situation," he said, "and reality is always less than perfect, and -- I think that's a realistic point of view, and in fact there are a lot of people in this world who are not fit to be loved, and you could say they don't deserve it, but not fit is a more neutral word." I think for a lot of Playboy and Playboy princesses, their personalities dictate that they prefer one-to-many, many-to-many relationships, and they just have no interest in a traditional one-on-one relationship. ”

"Love meat. Desire is more than love, isn't it? Jenny said with a smile.

"Of course, it would be better if they could have both, but when they could only choose one, they would rather choose the former." Heath said, laughing again, "I'll admit that it's in our genes to be in the pursuit of having relationships with as many people as possible, it's our instinct. ”

"It's not surprising." Jenny told him, "Especially you Hollywood stars, it's really hard to restrain this instinct, because you do have a competitive advantage, power, fame, money, and looks -- you have an advantage over billionaires in this race, so restraint has really become hard for you, even for women -- why should I make a hasty decision when I can be chased by so many people because of my beauty and fame?" I think this is also the psychology of many Hollywood actresses, women's mate selection instinct. ”

"Human nature is horribly selfish at times," Heath said happily, "but you're right, Hollywood is home to almost all of America's most impulsive and daring men, so it's the most prominent and the most noticeable." Love doesn't mean anything to these people, at least not right now. ”

"It's also an option." Jenny mused, "But the whole of Hollywood doesn't necessarily settle down for one reason -- maybe for some people, love is just a thing that exists only in the moment, very briefly, and when the comfort of oxytocin is consumed, love ends, and then the intimacy that lovers usually cultivate in long-term relationships has no meaning to them." ”

With Heath's nod, she continued, "I think that's basically the case with a lot of artists' love, because for them, stability means—"

"The Death of Inspiration." "Yes, artists always need stimulation – maybe I'm the kind of person you say." ”

He took the initiative to involve his private life, "That's why I broke up with Michelle, I don't think for people like me, there is no need to settle down at this time, only when my professional life is nearing the end - I am no longer young and my creativity is starting to decline. The family affection after the love has expectations and will get used to it. Just like the love affair between Mantos and Coke, they succeed because they want the same at every stage. When they are both in their teens, they both want to explore love only in the present, and try the boundaries of what lovers can do together. ”

When Cola was in her twenties, she felt the urge to start a family and met Mantos, who wanted to settle down. At forty, she needed stimulation and met him who was looking for his passion—"yes, they met the right person at the right time, and that kind of thing can only happen in movies." ”

"That's what we love about films, it's hopeful," says Heath, "and being fully committed to the role is like making up for your own regrets and experiencing another possibility." ”

"I said the same thing to Salvi," Jenny said in some surprise as she sat up straight and pointed at Heath, "Seriously, it's exactly the same, really, this kind of movie, no matter how painful the process of making it, really lies in its meaning, allowing you to experience another possibility-"

They met and smiled, and they both felt that the distance was a little closer - in the past, Jenny and Heath were not too familiar, in fact, the two were a little out of place, she was too self-disciplined and diligent, and Heath was a more casual genius, but under Salvi's arrangement, the two talented and spiritual actors gradually discovered what they had in common, and in such a simplest and purest environment, through these conversations in the north and south, a real spiritual connection was established - Jenny felt that Her relationship with Hiss is a bit like that with Daniel. Day-Lewis, Meryl. Streep, maybe you don't usually have too much contact, but when something happens, you know you can count on him.

The room was quiet again, like an intermission after a conversation, Jenny was trying to figure out Heath and her understanding of the plot, although such an understanding could be easily ruined by Salvi, this method of filming the actor's information reduced to a minimum was new and challenging for her, like a mental game, counting the director's psychology and her own psychological reactions to guess, she wanted to guess the intention of Salvi's every arrangement, and reminded herself to remain at his mercy, This subtle feeling also makes her find very interesting.

"You know," said Hiss, who spoke after a moment of silence, hugging his knees and groaning a little, "I've always been sorry for Michelle. ”

It was the first time he had taken the initiative to mention his private affairs, and Jenny put down the book, "Huh? ”

"Intellectually speaking, it seems inevitable, and if you don't try, you won't know that you haven't settled down in this period, and it seems like a paradox that when you prove it to yourself, it means that someone has been hurt by you," said Heath, and his uninhibited handsome face also showed a deep sense of helplessness, "and ...... I don't know, in society, people seem to default to settle down, long-term relationships, it's your moral responsibility, I don't know how to say it, if you really want to settle down, but the other person and you don't fit, you will be understood by everyone, because this kind of thing really can't be avoided, but if you finally find out - after you have a daughter - you find out, although you work hard, but this stable life is ...... for you It's just that when it's not attractive, not only others, but even you yourself will feel sorry, and even if you can't predict the outcome, you start the relationship with sincerity—"

In the media coverage of Heath and Michelle's breakup, the previously 'bad' Heath was of course the negative side, but Jenny now has a low level of trust in the report, she said, "I think it's because of ......"

Thinking of the source of this theory, she couldn't help but smile, and then continued, "Because this is the mainstream value of society, at least for Australia and the United States - finding a partner and then settling down is still the trajectory of most families, so although you are no longer living an ordinary life, you will still demand yourself with the morality of ordinary people...... It's a herd mentality. ”

"Perhaps...... "The most hurtful part of this whole thing isn't your guilt, it's the time when you're trying to convince yourself with your guilt, when you're no longer happy with her, but you're still persevering, you don't realize it's an insult to her...... Because, although you have worked hard, there is really no room for hypocrisy in this kind of thing, and the moment your heart leaves, she actually feels something...... At least...... That's what Michelle said to me, she couldn't stand to be with someone who no longer loved her, even if ......"

"Even if she still loves you?" Jenny guessed.

Hiss pursed his lips, he didn't say anything more, just nodded briefly.

Thinking about the feud between him and Michelle, Jenny had nothing to say, she could only reassure Heath, "I think this is a risk that every relationship must face, and no one can promise forever...... In fact, you should believe that - Hollywood, though it is an American community, may be following European standards, you know, that fabled Europe-"

Think of the stereotypes of Europe in the minds of Americans: open, relaxed, and unusually liberated and casual in this regard. Both chuckled, and Jenny continued, "In that case, your behavior isn't out of line with society, is it?" If you use Hollywood men to demand yourself, your performance is not satisfactory, and if you must use Australian standards, then you are asking for trouble. ”

"You know, your remarks are very similar to Cesare's." Heath crossed his arm and glanced at Jenny, "What he said to me was almost a copy of what you said to me. ”

"Really?" Jenny paused for a moment.

"He said, 'What you need to face up to is that you're not living an ordinary life, you're not an ordinary person, Heath, ordinary people can't do a work like you'-" Heath shrugged, "'If you're living 1% of your life, don't hold yourself to 99% standards, stable relationships are not something you necessarily need to aspire to.'" ”

"I've heard something like that." Jenny said, snickering, "Basically, I'm his student, so, indeed, I just resold his ideas to you." ”

"So, you're all supporters of this theory, right?" Hiss asked, "That's why you can ......"

"Talent what?" Jeanne asked, smiling, amused by Hiss's embarrassed expression—it seemed that he had more or less accepted Cesare's point of view, and had gradually moved out of the stage of self-condemnation.

"Talent-you know-you're married, anyway, but you're alone in New Zealand right now, working with at least two--three very attractive men now, and of course a whole bunch of staff-" Heath grimaced, "and your phone was confiscated, and you're still living alone in an apartment with two of these three men—"

"Even if both of these are good friends of his?" Jenny asked.

"Hey, feelings and desires. I hope I don't care about that," said Heath, half-jokingly, "you're so pretty, and I'm not bad-"

"You're not bad-looking." Jenny hurriedly complimented, "You look very handsome." ”

"-Thank you--I'm also very handsome, it's not impossible for us to spark, at least it's very likely." "Even if there is no emotional spark, what about the physical? According to 99% of the mainstream opinion, Cesare should definitely be jealous, and if he doesn't even care about that, then he probably doesn't care about you anymore. ”

It was a hypothetical question, for Jenny knew that there was no attraction between her and Heath, that she was too disciplined and calm to him, and that she was not the type he liked, and that he was about the same for her. But it's not an easy question to answer, especially in the current climate, and it seems to be sorry for Heath's honesty to tell a lie.

She hesitated, "Hmm-"

"Oh......" Heath understood, and he touched his nose, "I'm sorry—"

"Nothing," Jenny said, "but we're not going to announce it yet, so—"

"Of course, I'll keep it a secret." "So...... Can you ask why? ”

Putting the whole thing out and out is of course the least advisable thing to do, Jenny thought as she said, "Time ...... The last thing we have is time, and you have to admit it, Heath, it's hard for Hollywood stars to juggle their families unless they take turns giving up their jobs, but the crew will be done and the company will never stop. ”

"Yes, the time, the schedule, and the state of our performance......" Heath seemed quite empathetic, "Sometimes when you finish filming a role, you really need a personal time to get you out of that sad feeling, but the reality is that you are already a dad, and there is only a short time before the next drama starts, and the time you get together with her is only so short......"

"Yes, your artistic life, your career and your personal life are in serious conflict," said Jenny, the faint bitterness in her tone was not entirely pretended, "what is more difficult for you to distribute than time is your own concern, your career is like a black hole that attracts all of you, and you can't help it, even very much desire to revolve around it......

"Trying to pull out the effort to focus on the real world is like splitting your personality." Heath looked at the ceiling and muttered, "yes, so we're not fit into a long-term relationship, not into the 99% definition of love and marriage...... At least, not right now. ”

He sat up again and looked at the flames dancing in the fireplace, "But maybe one day, this will change, like Mantos and Coke, except that we may not be as lucky as them, when we really want to be settled and ready for a long-term relationship, and meet the person who gave you that desire in the first place." ――I don't think we are 100% lucky for them, in reality, your first love, your stability, your stimulation and your destination, are often four different people......

"But......" his tone took on a tinge of silence, and the flames reflected Hiss's face uncertainly, "just...... Although it may be nice to others, but now, you do hope that when the right time comes, the person you can reach by your side, and the person you feel about, will still be her......"

Jenny looked at the side of his face, a quiet smile on her lips, and she patted Heath on the shoulder, "It's always good to have hope." ”

She didn't say that the false 'miracles were going to happen,' which seemed to make Heath feel better, and he exhaled and turned the conversation to her. "So, what about you?"

"Me?"

"You and Salvi—" said Heath, "the earthlings can see what you have, that kind of current, to be honest, I was quite surprised when you proposed to Cesare, and at the Oscars that night, if you had to propose to someone, I would have thought it was Salvi, and it seemed more natural for you to be with him—I don't know what to say, it seemed to have more sparkle." ”

"It sounds like you're not optimistic about me and Cesare," Jeanne said with some protest, "and we have a feeling between us, and it's actually quite strong, but we don't want to show it—"

She shook her head, "It's too complicated, they have completely different feelings. and Cesare...... We've got so much together, and we're not good at it......"

Without revealing the truth, she couldn't continue, Jenny smiled and ended the topic directly, "And Salvi and I ...... Yes, there was a spark when filming Monroe, but the timing was not right. Now, the timing may be right, but the mood may still be there, is it? Love, or the rudiments of love, does not solve the problem of timing. ”

Heath, who was obviously still unsettled with Michelle, did not deny her, but smiled sympathetically, and as he was about to speak, there was a muffled grumbling at the door, and then someone pushed the door open, causing the fire in the fireplace to be blown by the cold wind, and his shadow filled the room-

"Hey, hey, hey, hey—" let out a low, villain-like laugh, Leo slammed the door behind him, and when Jenny and Heath didn't respond to him, he also lost some of his drunken excitement, and complained as he took off his scarf and coat, "Oh my God, it's so cold for those tens of meters from the car."

Getting to the edge of the fireplace, he burped and looked left and right with a smile, "So, what are you talking about?" Dear Heath-Jeanne-"

Before anyone could answer, he rubbed his hands together again and complained while roasting the fire, "Seriously, how did you survive such a boring night, just chatting?" ”

Reluctantly exchanging glances with Hiss, Jenny stopped his momentum of wanting to speak, shook off Leo's shoulder wrap that had just come with the greeting, sat up straight, and his tone became serious. "What we're talking about is - Leo, you've been on the crew for a week, isn't it time to make a decision? In the end, whether to shoot "The Great Gatsby", whether to lose weight, the most important thing-"

She compared the environment around her, "Do you want to have such an acting exploration - do you have an answer to this question?" ”
