"I'm sorry, do I know you?" With blonde hair tied back in a bun and wearing a silk shirt and skirt, exuding the temperament of a celebrity, Nala, with a haughty and cold expression, turned around and looked at Roger suspiciously and warily.

The passengers in the elevator also looked at Roger strangely, and Roger took a step back with an embarrassed expression, "I'm sorry, I should have recognized the wrong person-Ms-"

"It's Mrs," Nala said, Roger's eyes visibly falling on her hands, the photographer lifted his feet, the camera fell, Zoomin reached Nora's finger, and the other camera kept on Nora's face, and her eyes fell on her own hand with Roger.

As soon as Nala grasped Lu's left hand, she glanced at Roger with some embarrassment, her eyebrows gathered quickly for a moment, then let go, raised her chin and insisted, "Mrs-"

After Mrs., the surname should be added, Nala showed a thoughtful expression, she seemed to be a little dizzy, and shook before answering, "Nala, Mrs. Nala." ”

With a bang, and a slight shaking, the elevator door opened, and the passengers walked out of the elevator one after another, but Nala did not move, but leaned against the elevator wall, closed her eyes and steadied herself in some pain, Roger took a step forward with concern, raised his hand and wanted to touch her, but looked at his hand, and was worried, and took a step back with a complicated expression, Nala quickly returned to normal, glared at him fiercely, stood up and swayed out of the elevator.

“Cut，Good！” David. Finch shouted in satisfaction, "Christopher, your form is out, we'll take another shot later and give you some close-ups of your expression." Jennifer, you behaved very well, but I need you to be a little more calm, you were a little too nervous just now, Nala is not Ginny, she is very educated, the corresponding Roger should be more eager, your expression must be enough to arouse Nora's alertness, so that we can transition to the confrontation later. ”

He looked at his watch, "Ten minutes of rest, Christopher, let's have some refreshments." ”

"David, you can't feed me fat in a short period of time," Christopher reluctantly followed David away, "My metabolism is very strong, and the makeup team also said that if I am fat, it is not easy to do special effects makeup ......"

"But with less special effects makeup, your expression will be more vivid, and I mind this piece of silicone on your lower cheek,......" David insisted, greeting Jennifer in a friendly manner, "Jennifer, come and rest, eat something, you're skinny, sometimes I'm really worried about whether you'll faint like this because of low blood sugar." ”

Compared with the gloomy atmosphere at the beginning, a week after the start of filming, the atmosphere on the set is much more lively, although it is not full of laughter, but because the filming progress is smooth, the performance of the two leading actors is exemplary, and the mood of the whole crew is quite good, David has also changed from the taciturn at the beginning to the current approachable, and even invites the two leading actors to eat some snacks together to replenish their strength.

After years of dieting and low-salt diet, Jenny's taste has been very different from ordinary people, most of the ordinary dishes are too sweet or too salty for her, but in order to have a good relationship with Finch, she still smiled and agreed, and walked to the snack area outside the studio with David and Christopher.

David brought himself a cup of hot chocolate and a doughnut coated with thick jam, "—don't look at me like that, making a movie is absolutely physically demanding, and every time I leave the studio, I feel like I haven't eaten in days." ”

Jenny smiled and took a banana for herself, while Christopher took a hot dog sandwich and a cup of hot chocolate filled with cream, and in David's encouraging eyes, he patted his stomach self-deprecatingly and said, "Hopefully I'll be fat enough to satisfy you before we finish it." ”

All three laughed, and David patted Christopher on the shoulder, "Good boy." ”

"David." There was a call from the direction of the studio, and David shrugged at the two with a donut in his mouth, and hurried to the studio. Jenny took a bite of a banana and rolled her eyes when she saw Christopher looking at her, "Why, don't tell me you have any banana-related jokes waiting for me." ”

But then again, Christopher hadn't come to harass her as Jenny had expected for the past week, but rather he had been eerily quiet, as if he were immersed in listening to David's play, and when the two occasionally met in the hallway of the hotel, he just nodded silently. So Jenny had a slightly better impression of him than before, and her tone was less hostile and more like she was joking with Christopher.

Christopher shook his head, "I'm trying to figure out how to speak." ”

"What?" Jenny was a little wary.

"I'm a little unconfident in tomorrow's scene." Christopher hesitated and said, "I'd like to play against you tonight, but I'm not sure you'll say yes to me - I feel like seeing me being yelled 'Cut' on set seems to make you feel better." ”

Not to mention that there are no fools in the entertainment industry, Jenny blushed a little: she has maintained a slight lead since the start of filming for a week, and almost all NG is contributed by Christopher. Although after he adjusts, he can often keep up with David's requirements in a short period of time, and the advantage has not been great, but seeing Christopher silently listening to David's play, she can't help but admit that she really feels very cool......

Well, the refreshment at that time, now by Christopher's words, she realized that Christopher had always known about it, it seemed a little childish, Jenny shrugged, "Don't you think you're a little oversensitive?" As long as it's for the movie, I certainly won't say no - but it seems that you really know who you are. ”

Christopher shoved the rest of the hot dog into his mouth and got up to grab two more donuts, "I don't know what you're worried about - it's clear that you're safe, you don't have to worry about betraying your faithful, wonderful fiancé, I've given up any plans to 'try the forbidden fruit.'" ”

He said with a hint of sarcasm, shaking the donut in his hand, the jam dripping on his finger, Christopher licked it rudely, "The world is not fair, if I didn't have special effects makeup, you would have been seduced by me just now, but now all you see is a fat man pathetically licking his sloppy fingers, what are you worried about?" Can't you stand the temptation of this fat man? ”

"So you're really determined to get fat?" Jenny was surprised and asked, "Are you sure?" Christopher, to be honest, I don't think your special effects makeup has affected your performance that much. ”

Of course, a big-name actor like Christopher cannot be at the mercy of the director team at will, whether this role needs to gain or lose weight will be indicated in the contract, since he was not asked to gain weight after trying on makeup, it means that David assessed that such a fattening prosthesis and special effects makeup would not affect his performance. So even if David changed his mind after the start of filming, he just jokingly persuaded a few words, and the facts are here: Christopher's performance is already very good now, and if he gains weight, the effect will not be too obvious to improve, and the difference may only be a little bit.

"I also think it's just a 95 percent and 100 percent difference," Christopher touched his chin, "it's a very soft piece of silicone, and it's not too thick—but when it's you, that 5 percent is precious." ”

Jenny was stunned, "Really? ”

"Tell you a secret," Christopher said casually, "you've put me under great pressure, Jenny. Jefferson, I've never sacrificed myself to a character so completely - I've done everything in my power to keep up with you, but it's not enough, so I can't outrun you yet. If gaining weight helps me do that, then I'm going to gain weight, and I'm going to do anything to be the brightest character in the film. ”

He shrugged, "It's just that it takes a few more days to shake off the weight after it's finished, I don't care." ”

Jenny knew that no A-lister could be a slacker like Josh, and that they were bound to strive for excellence, but she was still swayed by Christopher's boldness for a few seconds: it wasn't an easy decision to make, if it was her...... She may not be able to make up her mind. "But you have to know that being fat and thin is very damaging to the state of the skin, Christopher, indeed, the meat can be thrown off, but when you get old, you can't get young back, for 5% only, and as you said, you have the habit of exercising, the amount of metabolism is already large, you are not so easy to eat fat, maybe when you eat fat, the film will really be finished-"

"How." Christopher was amused by her instead, "What are you doing here, genuinely caring about me?" *？ ”

Under his mocking tone, how Jenny could continue, she was also a little unhappy, "Oh, do you think so? ”

"I do think so." Christopher turned his face like a book again, he looked at Jenny and smiled softly, "Thank you,*, but I know what I'm doing." ”

The two looked at each other silently for a moment, and Jenny coughed and looked away, "It's time for us to go back to touching up our makeup." ”

"Jane, remember to set the alarm clock the day after tomorrow, you have to go to the airport early in the morning the day after tomorrow." At dinner, Mary said as she ate - Jenny will be back tomorrow for the People's Choice Awards. "And I received an email from Chesa today, saying that there are some documents that need to be signed by you, and he and I will be waiting for you at the airport when the time comes."

Since most of the scenes are filmed in the studio, Jenny is not a character who likes to go out, so a day or two before the start of filming, the paparazzi were still wandering around the hotel, and now there are almost no paparazzi watching, plus Mary is now a person with a title, she is not on the set every day, and often has to go back to Los Angeles to run errands for Jenny. For example, tomorrow morning, she will go back to Los Angeles early in the morning to interview Jenny for a second assistant, and deal with some real estate and financial chores.

“OK。” Jenny reads tomorrow's script while eating. "But you'd better give me a wake-up call the day after tomorrow."

"Okay." Mary said helplessly, "What are you looking at?" Script? ”

"Well, Christopher will come over in a moment." Jenny said casually, she looked at Mary's expression, "What's the matter, what do you want to say?" ”

Mary cleared her throat. "No, no."

"Mary?"

"Okay." Mary surrendered, "The crew has been gossiping about you and Christopher lately, and they all say that you and Christopher's sexual tension can be cut directly - many people guess that you have been involved in private." ”

Jenny was taken aback, "Really? But we basically didn't talk on the crew—"

"It's just their opinion." Mary immediately said as if she were faithful, "I don't think so, I know how much you hate Christopher—"

Then she immediately betrayed herself again, "Even if something really happens to you, I definitely won't tell the crew." ”

There was a knock on the door, and Christopher's inquiry, "Jenny, are you ready?" ”

Mary quickly put away her dishes and chopsticks, and as she walked out, she reached out to her lips to make a zipper motion, Jenny looked helplessly at her to open the door and go out, and raised her hand to say hello to Christopher, "Are you done eating?" ”

"Nope." Christopher held up the plastic bag in his hand. "I'm going to do a smaller, more frequent meal strategy, so we can play against each other and eat at the same time."

"Looks like you're really going to gain weight?" Jenny glanced at the bucket of chicken wings in the plastic bag and swallowed her saliva quietly: it is common knowledge that junk food is the most tempting for dieters compared to fine food. "Don't you hire a dietitian for yourself? Improper weight gain may cause problems in the stomach. ”

"Are you genuinely concerned about me again?" Christopher sat down across from her, his makeup off - he had gained weight for two days, but he still looked toned and sophisticated, and didn't quite match the big bucket of wings.

"Are you going to sarcastically mock me again for my sincere concern?" Jenny asked rhetorically.

"No," Christopher smiled gently, he was now clearly in easy communicative mode. "It's just that now that we're in a more * place, I can tell you the real reason - it's different from what you think, I'm an adult with clear thoughts and no mental disorders, it's not a whim, on the contrary, I'm very aware of the hidden dangers you talked about in the afternoon - it's just that these things are not worth mentioning compared to David's favorability, I thought about gaining weight when I took over this role, but I've been waiting for David to bring it up."

He held up a finger, "Number one, this news hedge award is favorable, you know what I mean, the judges love this kind of story." Second, big directors like to use obedient actors, and doing so is conducive to the production of famous directors in the future, which is very beneficial to my transformation, so, indeed, maybe it's a little unwise to rush to gain weight for a small production, but if you take a long-term view, you will find that this is a good opportunity. ”

Jenny didn't know what to say for a moment, and Christopher shrugged his shoulders and said in an understanding tone, "Doesn't it seem sad to toss over one of David's ideas?" Maybe so, but Cesare was for my idea, I'm almost 30 years old, and I haven't played a big production of a famous director, so you have to think about how to maintain your dominance, don't you? The competition between male actors seems to be more peaceful than that of female actors, and their artistic life is longer...... But because of this, it is also more difficult to go one step further than that of an actress. If I were you, I wouldn't choose to gain weight, I would do everything possible to maintain my beauty, because that represents the length of your artistic life, as long as you are beautiful enough, you will always have acting, but in the case of actors, ......"

He said calmly, "Famous directors always like to use old faces, Leonardo has controlled Martin Sr., Nolan is almost in love with Christian, if you want to break through their domination and enter the field of vision of top directors and Olympic award judges, you need more than just popularity, box office appeal and even acting - you also need to be crazier than them." ”

Jenny blinked for a few seconds, "OK?" I can't help but say that I'm ......."

She looked for words, "I'm surprised?" You have such a sensible side, but you have a point, and if gaining weight is going to be a PR stunt, increase your chances of being nominated for an Olympic award, and increase your reputation, then there's a lot of value in doing so. ”

Christopher nodded silently, opened the chicken wing bucket and fished out a wing root and nibbled on it, and Jenny continued to eat her fancy salad that had not changed for thousands of years. There was a moment of silence in the room, and after a moment she couldn't help but say, "But why are you—I mean, if you had ...... earlier I don't know, maybe I wouldn't have thought so badly of you if I had been serious earlier—did you know how you usually act like a fool who overdoses? Crazy and gibberish...... You used to give me the impression that you had no respect for the people around you. ”

"Really?" Christopher asked with a smirk.

Jenny nodded affirmatively, "At least I didn't feel your respect for me - before tonight." ”

"Do you have to be so serious?" Christopher waved his hand uncontrollably, "...... Okay, I'll admit, I'm a bit headstrong at times, but I'm young, handsome, rich, and accomplished in my career, and you can imagine the kind of people around me who are usually surrounded by people who want something out of me. ”

He shrugged, "Just have a meal with me, and they can get what they want, exposure, soaring popularity...... Isn't respect a bit too wasteful for these people? I can assure you, though, that I've never forced anyone to do what she doesn't want to do, and in fact, it's hard to think of what those girls would do in order to be the object of my waywardness. ”

Jenny couldn't help but roll her eyes, and a flirtatious smile appeared on Christopher's lips as he pointed at Jenny with his wingbone as a scepter, "Of course, David Cesare - you - I have a lot of respect for anyone who holds what I want. ”

After a little teasing, he changed his face again, and smiled softly and kindly, "You also deserve my respect,* you are a very hard-working, hard-working girl, and your talent is also admirable...... It even made me feel a serious crisis. ”

This quote from Christopher, the adversary who made her feel in crisis, was the best sweet word for Jenny, and her lips couldn't help but rise, "Shall I say thank you?" ”

"Oh, won't you ask you if there's anything I want?" Christopher deliberately raised his tone again.

"I think I still have a basic IQ to understand this." Jenny rolled her eyes. "Hurry up, it's late, we don't have much time to waste, 11 p.m. is my bedtime."

Christopher's expression turned serious and he swallowed the chicken hastily, "Then let's get started, I want to see how you handle this paragraph, it might stimulate my inspiration......"

He bent down to look through his script, and Jenny tilted her face to watch Christopher rattle the plastic bag, and the corners of her lips couldn't help but curl: it was undeniable that Christopher was much more pleasing to the eye after the conversation just now, and perhaps that was why she had changed her opinion of him, and although she could only see the back of his head now, she still thought he was cuter than Christopher, who had violently discharged at her that day—needless to say, and sexier.

- Well, she said to herself: there's no point in denying it, the chemistry between you is really strong...... That's not a bad thing, at least, this man is better than James. Schubert whets your appetite even more.

The author has something to say: long wait!

I'm so embarrassed...... But I'm not really fast at writing emotional dramas...... That feeling of shun is not easy to find......

Hopefully tomorrow we can go back to 7:30 or 8:30 mode!
