Chapter 415: The Gentleman's Back

If you look at it from the perspective of the story, the story of this movie must be a bit gratuitous, the origin of the crow, the reason for the existence of the town, at least until now, has not been explained, and the style of watching the film does not look like it is going to be explained, this is also the technique of art films, how to interpret the symbol of the crow, that is the job of film critics. www.lwXs520.coM The work of Jenny and Heath is to make the relationship between Mantos and Coke more believable and moving, and the transformation of the characters in the plot is less common here, and more of a self-expression of the characters themselves. And here, Coke's feelings for crows have changed a lot - unlike when she was a girl, she was still immersed in the ignorance of the crowd, with an illusory sense of security, now Coke has fully matured, she has more expectations for her life, and her survival* is stronger, and compared to her evasive attitude when the crow broke in before, this time she is much more active, and even wants to go up and fight it and drive it away.

Mantos, on the other hand, is much calmer than he was when he was 16 - in other words, less desperate, but more resourceful, he and Coke teamed up, using the facilities in the café to spew a cloud of steam at the crow, and Coke picked up the gun, aimed it at the crow, and pulled the trigger to chase it away.

Under the passion of fighting, the relationship between Cola and Mantos has changed qualitatively, they officially move together, Cola starts to talk about Mantos's work, house, future and children, and her eyes will linger in the baby store during walks, all of which makes Mantos look in his eyes and fade his smile a little - as the relationship between the two deepens, the 40-year-old Mantos can't help but really think about the future: where is he, is this town a fantasy? Was he dreaming? What the hell is all this going on?

It is precisely because he has fallen in love with Coke that Mantos wants to figure out the future, this time he begins to actively seek out the elves, even the crow and the white bull, to find out the reason behind this, but after a series of mysterious exchanges, except for discovering that the elves can let him out of the town, into the wilderness and the river of time, and give him the ability to go back, Mantos has no real secrets of the town.

After experimentally walking out of the town, Mantos walked forward for a while, and found another town standing in the distance, he hesitated for a moment, calculated the time of his departure, and finally did not set foot in this town, but returned to the original - he was surprised to find that Coke and the others were not aware of his departure - the timeline of him and Coke and the others did not seem to coincide, for him, the movement along the river in space is the movement of the town in time, so as long as he wants, he can return to this town anytime and anywhere, For Coke, time never moves.

And what about his own time? Will he stay 40 forever, or will he also get older bit by bit, or even younger? Mantos needs to find his own river of time, a problem he must solve before he settles down - when Coke covers his mouth and shows a disgusting expression, he makes up his mind and leaves the town and enters the space-time wilderness together, walking along the river of time.

The woods where he and Cola had walked together changed their appearance, and as he learned more and more about the place, the woods became taller and more eerie, less like ordinary trees, and the legendary creatures such as elves, centaurs, and unicorns appeared in the forest from time to time, and when Mantos was in trouble, they came to help, and when he stopped to camp at night, the elves curiously came to spy on the fire he had raised, and although they could not communicate in words, their communication was full of warmth, in their company, Mantos crossed his arms and smiled at the stars.

Eventually, he reached the next town, where the elves surrounded him, urging him to enter, and when he entered the forest again, Mantos found that he was gradually getting younger and younger, until he was back in the prime of his 27th year, and he was not alone in the forest, many richly dressed aristocratic women were walking in the woods, and the 40-year-old but still charming Coke was the center of the crowd, and people no longer called her by her name, but respectfully called her 'Madame'.

The intruder Mantos was treated as a vagabond, and was suspected by the guards, and he was brought before his wife for trial, and the graceful smile of Coke seemed to feel a little familiar with Mantos, and again, when they looked at each other, the relationship and feelings between the two were clearly shown on their faces.

“cut!”

With this shout, Jenny's face inevitably sank slightly: she didn't even say a line, and it seemed that Salvi was very unhappy with their performance this time.

“d。” Sure enough, after the sound just now, Salvi shook his head and said, "Rest for five minutes and do it again." ”

It didn't seem like he was upset, but was going to shoot a lot, with the extras all looking tired and Jenny looking at Heath helplessly - neither of them knew what was wrong.

"Was Mantos' response too direct?" "You know, maybe he should be a little duller, after all, he should be dull to a 40-year-old woman." ”

"You must not have heard 'Stacy'," Jenny said jokingly, shaking her head, "I don't know, is it because Coke is too direct?" Maybe that kind of desire. I hope it should be hidden a little deeper by her upbringing mask. ”

Due to the progress of the storyline, most of the plot is now completed in front of the green screen, and the rest of the interior scenes also have distinct phases, coupled with the unique experiential performances of the actors, the film's studio shooting is strictly in chronological order, and it is now the end of September, the weather in New Zealand is gradually warming, and the progress of filming is less than halfway, and the scene seems to be really going to shoot until the end of the year, and Salvi's actions are still unhurried, and it seems that he is not under pressure from the filmmaker at all - Jenny sometimes calculates for him, I think the producer is going crazy, but fortunately, the tax rebate in New Zealand has saved them a lot of money, plus there are two big names in the group, so the crew is still running as usual, and as the filming progresses, the plot has entered a new stage, and this phenomenon of continuous NG has become frequent again, to put it bluntly, in the new plot stage, the run-in between the actors and the director is not enough, and both sides are looking for a suitable rhythm again. If Salvi can be satisfied with this scene and find that feeling, then the whole stage of filming will rarely encounter NG after that.

For a day in a row, both sides were entangled in this shot, and in the end Salvi didn't say 'good', this shot could only be moved to tomorrow, and the exhausted Heath immediately returned to the lounge and shot a scene for a day in a row, which is the kind of tiredness that the actor is most afraid of, and Jenny hesitated, but still took the initiative to walk towards Salvi - in this plot, the 27-year-old Hiss is almost in his true colors, and his mentality may not be too problematic, just like in the previous performance, It's as simple as she's mastering a 27-year-old Coke, and this time, the odds may be greater for her to have the problem.

"Hey." She said, leaning against the shelf next to Salvi.

It can be seen that Salvi today is not in a state of creative ecstasy, but he is not as shy and reserved as usual, he is obviously engrossed in the film, staring back at the screen all the time, and only then does he raise his head when he hears the voice, "Hey." ”

"Want to walk together?" Jenny asked.

"Okay." Salvi said he should have had an insight into Jenny's intentions — and their communication had always been wordless.

Based on the strict working hours system and generous overtime pay, the crew will never work more than 8 hours a day, otherwise it will cause a sharp rise in the budget, so when filming in the studio, everyone is 9 to 6, with a one-hour lunch break, which is no different from office workers, when Jenny and Salvi walked out of the studio, in addition to the warm afterglow of the sunset, they could also see many staff talking and laughing and walking towards the hotel at the foot of the hillside, the atmosphere was warm and homely, which was very different from the noisy and irritable common crew. Jenny squinted for a moment, then she turned and leaned against the iron railing, "Sometimes I feel like we're living in a small town in the story, and everything that happens here is so unusual, but everyone's attitude is so calm. ”

The corners of Salvi's mouth lifted, and he said, "And you seem to like this kind of life." ”

"yes, but I'm just like Mantos - I love it, but I always know it's not true." Jenny said she grimaced. "And even though I know it's not true, I still want to stay longer."

Salvi did not speak, but her expression was pleasant, and Jenny liked the atmosphere, she leaned against the railing, looked at the magnificent sunset in the sky, enjoyed the silence of the moment, and after a while, broke the silence with a casual chatter. "Are you going to do the same thing for Gatsby? Filmed in New Zealand and isolated? If that's the case, I think I'll definitely join again - I hope this trick is not learned by other directors, or I'll never go back to Hollywood. ”

"I thought you were sure you wanted to join." Salvi said it was the first time they had talked about a new film, and basically, he didn't have much contact with the actors during filming. "No, the movie won't be made like that, I'm still thinking about it, I don't have a specific idea right now, you know, I'll have to talk about it after the film, but initially it could be made in Hollywood - invite more celebrities to make cameos, after all, this is a movie about glitz."

Jenny nodded: Leonardo has already left to shoot "The Wolf of Wall Street", and there will definitely be a two- to three-month recuperation period after the filming is over, and if Salvi joins, Leo will definitely be tormented during the recuperation period, not *up, but mental. And Jenny thinks that she must have a better grasp of Daisy than Coke, and "Gatsby" may not adopt the current directorial method, so she may return to Los Angeles to deal with business for a while, and then join the crew to film, if it can be filmed in Hollywood, it will certainly help her to take care of both sides. After all, even if she liked this life, it wasn't true, she always had to go back.

"What are you thinking?" Salvi asked.

"I'm wondering what's wrong with my Coke." She said, "I think I've got a good idea of her 40-year-old mentality, and the charm and seduction she felt from Mantos—"

This was the first time she had asked Salvi directly, rather than allowing Salvi to torture her education over and over again, and Salvi was not surprised, he didn't even hesitate.

"Yes, I think you're going to come to me for that too." "After all," he said, "it's not a problem that can be solved by grinding down your guards—there doesn't seem to be any sexual tension between you and Hiss, does it?" I find that you don't seem to find him sexually attractive. ”

"Aesthetically speaking, he's pretty handsome, but he really doesn't appeal to me." Jenny admitted, "I'm sure he had a similar judgment—"

"Yes, but he's a man, and a man is still very fleshy at the age of 27. Desire, even if he is not intellectually deeply attracted, emotionally he will still be tempted. Confuse. Salvi said, "And I don't think you're not attracted to him, and this question should be looked at separately, do you have the urge to fall in love with him?" This is undoubtedly not on either side but if it is with him on. What about the bed? What about pure sexual attraction? If, aesthetically, you think he is good, then instinctively you should have sex with him. The desire/desire of the relationship, whether or not to do it is another matter, but this part is still there, but most people don't let it show in their daily lives. ”

"As far as acting goes, you don't need to be really smitten with him to act with him, that's of course, the actor can empathize, brew, your intimacy with Hiss played out well before, the part that requires love, you do a great job of empathy, but in this shot today...... I sense that you have perceived my intentions, Coke is lonely at the age of 40 and she needs fresh* sex with excitement. Love, this carnal need mixed with a hazy sense of goodness reflected in her superficial emotions - "Although he was silent for a while, once he spoke, Salvi was extremely sharp, and his layers of dissecting blades were almost overwhelming. "And I don't think it's a problem with your acting skills, you're just ...... I've found that you're very used to suppressing your emotions and sexuality. Desire...... Sometimes you even give me an oriental sense of abstinence, as if admitting that you have lust too. Hope is a shameful thing. ”

His professional tone made the sentence a little less intrusive, and Jeanne couldn't find the slightest reason to refute it, except to be secretly surprised by Salvi's acuity—she hadn't told Cesare the full story until now, but he must have guessed where she came from, and knew the cultural differences between East and West. But Salvi knew almost nothing, but she pointed out her way of thinking precisely. - Of course, she is definitely not a traditional Oriental girl now, and if she hadn't been divorced, she would have gone for fun, but this conscious release is not contradictory to the subconscious remnants of the Oriental pattern.

"There's certainly no shame in that." She said that she had found a reasonable reason for herself. "It's just...... You know, relative to my fame -- if you're always honest in your life, you're going to get a lot of trouble getting into your way. ”

Salvi was apparently unconvinced, and shook his head, "It's not the same thing to hide after revealing and hiding as a habit of not revealing it in the first place......"

His sharpness was not so popular at this time, Jenny pursed her lips, and she instinctively replaced defense with offense. "But it's not Oriental abstinence either—you see, you almost never show anything special to me, do you?"

Salvi's eyebrows furrowed, and a hint of surprise appeared on his handsome, thin face, but it was quickly replaced by a smile - this was the first time Jenny had spoken about their chemistry on her own initiative, and without words, he seemed to have understood that the invisible barrier that had once existed between them had dissipated, and Jenny was no longer in a state of 'I don't plan to fall in love anytime soon'.

"That's because I'm a gentleman," he said, "and I won't bother a lady without permission." ”

"Oh?" Jenny said, her heart beating faster - Salvi knew what was going on with Cesare, and for him, there was no concern about ruining it, so she was sending a clear signal now. "So, what would you do if you were allowed to?"

She had never seen a very happy Salvi, not even when "Monroe" won the Oscar, and now her intellectual deficiencies were replenished—she didn't know how to describe it—but Salvi's eyes had changed so markedly, as he said, that once allowed, his eyes, his expressions, had fully explained the emotions that his lens had described and pointed to—this desire. The existence or absence of hope is so obvious that there is no way to disguise it.

"I'll ......," he said, his voice lowered, and there was some hint of London under the RP cavity, "I'm going to do something wild, I've got some private imaginations, some very private ones...... I've got some really romantic ideas, I've got some really interesting plans......"

His hand drew closer and closer to Jenny's cheek, but finally paused an inch, and Salvi looked regretful, but only for a moment, he put his hand back in his pocket, maintaining the politeness and reserve of a gentleman.

"But I've got to keep you shooting." He said regretfully, "Now, I'm a director. ”

"I see." Jenny said, coughing softly and standing up straight, still a little dizzy. "I ...... I see. ”

The two men looked at each other for a moment, and Salvi suddenly smiled a little mischievously.

"You're looking good right now." He said, turning around and whistling and waving at her. "Keep it up, and you will definitely get a good."

Jenny touched her cheek and watched him walk away—she couldn't help but laugh.

The next day, the shot passed in one go, and the rest of the shooting went smoothly. 40-year-old Coke and 27-year-old Mantos both understood at first glance what each other wanted, the kind of forbidden, meaty. The lustful, fresh thrill makes them smitten and take every opportunity to cheat, and during this time period, the story is full of fragrance until the crow reappears.
