On the campus of the prestigious Harvard University, Lin Mingyang, wearing sunglasses, carried a video camera and followed closely behind Kate Beckinsale.

Kate Beckinsale in the camera has her hands on her hips, looking very impatient. Because Lin Mingyang's eyes have never left the viewfinder since he carried the camera, Kate Beckinsale had to complain loudly to the camera: "We came to Boston just to shoot such a set of shots?" ”

The camera slowly pans down from Kate Beckinsale's face and finally stops between two high protrusions, although the camera is not filming at this time.

Kate Beckinsale reached out and pulled her windswept hair, "Are you listening to me?" ”

When the camera focused on Kate Beckinsale again, the chill on the other party's pretty face made Lin Mingyang immediately put away his banter, he put down the camera, moved his somewhat numb shoulder, and then said slowly: "If you don't mind, you can treat this as a trip!" ”

This visit to Harvard University did stem from Lin Mingyang's whim, and when the film was filming, the idea of starting the movie in flashback suddenly popped into his mind. Susan was not admitted to Princeton University, but unexpectedly received an admission letter from Harvard University, Lin Mingyang's idea was to use a fragment of Susan's happy life in college to bring back the previous memories, but the camera followed Kate Beckinsale around the Harvard campus, but he did not find any feeling.

"Why does it have to be Harvard?" Kate Beckinsale asked puzzled.

"Because the boys at Harvard are especially passionate about beautiful women!" Along the way, many Harvard boys have taken the initiative to talk to Kate Beckinsale, and there are not a few of them who are willing to take the initiative to act as guides.

Kate Beckinsale's face was gloomy again, and Lin Mingyang had to change his statement: "The story we shoot will not exist in real life, so it will be called a fairy tale." After all, people often watch movies just to find things that are not in real life but are extremely looking forward to from movies. ”

"And that includes Harvard?" Kate Beckinsale was not satisfied with this answer.

"Our Miss Kate can bravely give up Oxford, and naturally she doesn't care about Harvard." Lin Mingyang shrugged helplessly, "Every American has a Harvard dream in his heart!" ”

Lin Mingyang almost didn't say that Harvard is a spiritual symbol of the American dream, but unfortunately he met Kate Beckinsale, a British girl who reads and is very good at these so-called prestigious schools, "The Harvard dream of Americans has nothing to do with me!" ”

"I think that's exactly the crux of the matter, you're not thinking of yourself as a Harvard student, so there's a sense of immersion between you and the campus around you." Under the cover of sunglasses, Lin Mingyang didn't forget to look around at the eye-catching beauties on campus while Kate Beckinsale was talking, "It seems that we have to stay here for a few more days." ”

"Why?"

"You have to understand the culture of Harvard before you can really get into the role."

Kate Beckinsale asked somewhat unconvinced: "This is what you call respect for the authenticity of the process?" ”

Lin Mingyang said nonchalantly: "I said it, you can also treat this as a kind of life [***] test." ”

"What do you want me to do?"

"Clever girl!" Lin Mingyang nodded with satisfaction, a dazzling smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, he pointed to a girl who had just walked past in the distance, "She looks very average, and her leg shape is not perfect, but she dares to walk on campus in a miniskirt, and she doesn't care about the eyes of a judge like me, do you know why?" ”

"Why?" Because she used to have low self-esteem because of her appearance when she was a child, Kate Beckinsale was also curious.

"That's the pride of Harvard." Lin Mingyang looked at the mottled imprints on the bell tower of the square in the distance, "Almost all the revolutionary pioneers since the American Reading War came from the disciples of Harvard, and this school is known as the think tank of American political axes. It has produced eight U.S. presidents, 40 Nobel laureates and 30 Pulitzer Prize winners. Here, you can even feel that excellence has become a culture. I think there has been a lack of a look in your eyes, and excellent actors focus not only on appearance, but more importantly on people's hearts! ”

――――

Since it is to experience life, it is natural to go deep into it. Wearing sunglasses in and out of the classrooms of various public classes at Harvard University, such a behavior is easy to attract the attention of others, not to mention that he is always accompanied by a stunning beauty. For this reason, Lin Mingyang took off his sunglasses, and then found a baseball cap, and pressed the brim low, almost covering most of his face, so that he successfully passed the test without being discovered.

Lin Mingyang is very interested in the courses offered by Harvard, and Kate Beckinsale has been paying close attention to the mental state of the Harvard students around her. It is said that the eyes are the window of the soul, and Lin Mingyang's words seem to have had an effect, and she has been trying to feel their inner thoughts from the eyes of the people around her.

Then she was surprised to find that when Lin Mingyang was thinking, his expression was the same as that of those Harvard students around him, they were all so serious and focused, and the kind of light that flashed in Lin Mingyang's eyes from time to time seemed to be the portrayal of the strong confidence he said. It's just that the self-confidence of Harvard students comes from the inheritance of the sense of honor, so where does Lin Mingyang's self-confidence come from?

And in the continuous contact, Kate Beckinsale also slowly discovered that Lin Mingyang's seemingly casual appearance hides a deep heart. He chose Harvard, in addition to wanting to portray a successful and confident "Cinderella" in the film, in fact, he also wanted to help Kate Beckinsale find her true self.

From Kate Beckinsale's experience, Lin Mingyang can feel that behind this girl's tenacious surname lies behind her fragile heart, and she never shows her vulnerability, which just shows that she lacks enough confidence in life deep down. This may have a lot to do with Kate Beckinsale's loss of her father at a young age, and this kind of spiritual wound also requires enough patience to heal.

The smart Kate Beckinsale quickly felt this, but she and Lin Mingyang had cultivated a tacit understanding, and no one intentionally broke it.

In the last shot, Lin Mingyang successfully captured the real confidence of Kate Beckinsale in a few casual smiles, and the last useful shot lasted no more than three minutes, but the whole shooting process took a whole week. Lin joked that it was perhaps the longest set of shots in Hollywood history, even though there was no expression on his face that was "difficult" when he said it.

His statement did not arrive with a little dry humor, although the filming was completed, Kate Beckinsale's mood seemed a little low, she knew that such a situation had a lot to do with her own state and acting experience. Although Lin Mingyang didn't mean to blame her, Kate Beckinsale's inner pride made her feel quite guilty.

"It's that I'm not good enough!"

"Movies don't need and can't be ** from beginning to end, all you need to do is capture that fleeting feeling at the moment of inspiration." If Kate Beckinsale had observed carefully at this time, she would have found that although Lin Mingyang looked calm on the surface at this time, there was a look of excitement in his eyes. In his opinion, being able to guide Kate Beckinsale to success is a huge achievement in itself.

The trip to Harvard established a tacit bridge between Lin Mingyang and Kate Beckinsale, which greatly accelerated the filming process of the film. Several of the supporting characters selected from the Moss Middle School Drama Club are very talented in acting, and they are deeply inspired by Lin Mingyang's speech at the opening conference, and they are all very attentive to cooperate with Lin Mingyang and Kate Beckinsale's performances.

Since the crew entered Moss Middle School for filming, the filming progress of the film "Cinderella's Glass Phone" has been a hot topic among students, and Rhett is often the publisher of this kind of news because of his relationship with Lin Mingyang, so he has naturally become the object of the school's popularity.

The most exciting news revealed from Rhett's mouth is that the crew will hold a grand masquerade party at the school on Halloween for filming needs. And unlike traditional shooting, Lin Mingyang decided to "fake the show and do it really" this time, everything about the dance party was prepared according to real standards, and all teachers and students of the school were invited to the dance party. It is said that the plan for this resolution has been handed over to the principal's office, just waiting for Matthew to sign it.

In order to avoid the recurrence of the "forced palace" incident similar to the previous meeting, the school responded quickly this time, anyway, all the funds were borne by the crew, and the school was happy to do such a favor. In the afternoon, the school's bulletin board prominently posted a message about the Halloween dance.

The teachers and students of Moss Middle School are talking about this matter, Lin Mingyang, who is also exchanging opinions with his agent Ex on this matter.

"In this way, the cost of a dance party far exceeds the cost of hiring professional actors to cooperate with the filming. From a cost-benefit perspective, I don't think it's a smart choice. Starting from the position of the agent, Ex is naturally against Lin Mingyang's approach.

"It's a reward for my support, and from an economic point of view, you can see it as a long-term emotional investment."

"Emotional investment is a very vague concept, especially because it is difficult to quantify feelings, so it belongs more to sociology than economics." If it was before, Ex would definitely scold Lin Mingyang, but now he has no interest in scolding. Anyway, it was a mess, Lin Mingyang could do whatever he liked, and he didn't bother to interfere.

Lin Mingyang closed his eyes and hummed softly in his mouth: "I wore a veil and a head studded with fake diamonds to participate in this long-awaited masquerade. I know this will be my only chance to face yours in a familiar yet unfamiliar way. You finally walked gently towards me and drove away Cinderella's inferiority. ”

"You know this song too?" Hearing this familiar melody, Ex couldn't help but be a little curious.

"I know that the current high society likes to have a masquerade party at the company's annual meeting, a large celebration, or a fashion party, which is elegant and fun, not only in a chic form, fresh and exciting, but also provides a perfect opportunity for strangers to meet. I think about it, and I think this kind of good thing can't be without you, so you should also participate in this masquerade! Lin Mingyang officially sent an invitation to Ex.

"Please, all of you are minors at that ball, and a mature man with taste like me will mess around with you?" Ex triumphantly straightened his collar and looked like a successful man.

"Who said that only students, the teachers of the school also participated." Lin Mingyang winked at Ex hintfully, "According to the information I have, there are quite a few single beautiful teachers among them!" ”

"Your prom is going to be held in the school auditorium?" Hearing the beautiful teacher, Ex, who had a disdainful look just now, suddenly became enthusiastic.

"In order to prevent idle people from mixing in the scene and disrupting the shooting." Lin Mingyang waved the admission ticket in his hand, "The dance party is entered by ticket!" ”

Ex knew that Lin Mingyang would not deliberately lead himself into this trap in vain, and he snorted angrily, "Tell me about your conditions!" ”

"Kate is an actor with a lot of potential." Lin Mingyang didn't go around the bush with him, "She lacks an agent in the United States now." ”

"She was recommended by Mr. Brooksheimer, so you shouldn't need to worry about this, right?" Ex winced his eyes, a teasing expression on his face.

"I recommended you to her!"

"Me?" Ex's eyes widened, "You want me to be the agent for both of you at the same time, you kid won't have any tricks in his belly, right?" ”

"Isn't it exactly what you want to hope for when you set up a brokerage company in the future, and have a few more big-name stars in your hands?" Lin Mingyang's tone did not change from before, but Ex heard a different meaning from it.

He suddenly became vigilant, "You don't plan to be an actor in the future?" ”

Lin Mingyang squinted lazily, "If you really let me be an actor for the rest of my life, don't you think this kind of life will be very boring?" ”

"You're so optimistic about Kate Beckinsale?" The expression on Ex's face began to grow solemn.

"This is my first time!" Lin Mingyang glanced sideways at the blue sky outside the window, and his expression was extraordinarily serious: "I'm not a casual person!" ”
