Chapter 548: One Phase and One Meeting (Part II)
Uglier than in the movie - this is Chu Qing's first impression when he sees Deschanel.
She was wearing a very retro coat with unchanging bangs for thousands of years, not only did she have a lot of dark spots on her face, but the dark circles under her eyes were so severe that a deep line of moisture dried up formed at the bottom of her eyes.
On December 11, the hero and heroine finally met in a coffee shop on the side of the road. The girl was plain-faced, her blue eyes reflected the afternoon sun, and she said crisply and delicately:
"Hey!"
"Hey!"
Chu Qing shook the little white hand and said with a smile: "Miss, you made me wait for three months." ”
“SORRY! I'm really busy, I was still performing last month, I just finished the record last week, uh, sorry! She quickly apologized.
"It's okay, it's okay, please take a seat!"
He was joking, but he was also a little embarrassed at the moment, and changed the topic: "Alex is communicating inside, and the shopkeeper has temporarily changed his mind, and he always wants to get more benefits." ”
"Ah, it's okay, I just like this place." The girl shook her head.
This afternoon's scene is about Wilson and Vivien's first meeting, and the two have a verbal test and feel that they can initially bear it, and the scene is this small shop.
As soon as Deschanel sat down, he began to play with his left index finger before he said, "My grandfather likes your movies very much, and I have to nag me every time I go back." ”
"Thanks, is your grandfather in France?"
"Yes, he is in Lyon, and I go back every year to visit. He never leaves the city, and I love it too, but you know ......."
Halfway through, she suddenly lowered her head, as if looking at her pants.
“……”
Chu Qing was still waiting for the next stubble, but there was no movement. He didn't want to ask, so he had to take a sip of coffee depressedly.
After a few seconds, Deschanel looked up like nothing had happened before and asked, "Do you like old music?" ”
"Well, it's okay in China. I don't understand in the United States. ”
"I love Sarah Vaughn's 'IllCloseMyEyes,' I listen to it when I'm running, bathing, eating, reading, and flying. You know, she can make music an attitude that expresses life, and the more people want to represent the times. The less the impact lasts. ”
Her blue eyes are very lively, turn to the left, turn to the right, just don't look at the other side, like a small nerve embroidery-eyed bird.
"Sarah Vaughn never wanted to represent anyone, but what she gave to music was something that could change the world and change ......"
Talking and talking. She stopped again and continued to look down at her pants.
"Uh......"
Chu Qing hesitated for a moment. "Do you mind if I ask a question?" ”
"What?"
"What's wrong with your pants? I mean, why do you always look at your pants? ”
"Yes?"
The girl blinked, looking very dazed, but in the next second, she habitually made that action.
"Hah!"
He couldn't help but be amused.
"Ah, me. I might ......"
She bit her lip and said a little shyly, "There may be some obsessive-compulsive disorder, sorry!" ”
"It's okay, I just think it's cute...... Oh, I mean really! ”
He saw that the other party looked incredulous. Hurriedly said: "Actually, I used to have a similar habit, but I don't look at pants, I look elsewhere, like this......"
When the words fell, his head was deflected, and he glanced at the right rear inexplicably, and then reset it as if nothing happened.
"I know there's nothing there, but the subconscious thinks there's something, you know what I mean? And I only watch it when I'm eating, anyway, uh, very weird. ”
“OK! OK! ”
Deschanel expressed his understanding and pulled the corners of his mouth and asked, "Then will you still do this now?" ”
"I can when I eat, but I don't when I am with my girlfriend."
“WHY?”
"Because she's going to hit me." He had a serious face.
"Poof!"
The girl smiled and lay on the table.
"Chu, I've got that guy! Wow, dear Zoe, it's amazing to meet you! ”
At this time, Alex ran out of the house, hugged her excitedly, and asked, "How is the state?" ”
"It was just perfect! By the way, should I put on some makeup? ”
"Just cover up the dark circles a little."
Alex looked at it for a moment, then waved his hand with the momentum of the director, and shouted, "Guys, it's time to get started!" ”
“OK!”
A vote of people responded and acted one after another, and Deschanel took two steps and suddenly looked back and said, "I think we will have a good day." ”
"Of course!" He laughed.
…………
Wilson has an ex-girlfriend named Karen, and the two work at a restaurant in Texas. Their greatest happiness is to leave work early, and then buy a McDonald's to eat in that broken car.
Karen was going to another city to find her dreams, and on the day of the breakup, Wilson was on her way to Los Angeles when her car overturned, scattering things and leaving her closest friend a 16-hour drive.
He wanted to sell the script, but his laptop was stolen and all the preparations were wasted.
In Los Angeles for three months, he was on the verge of suicide, no one cared about his life or death, and he had to make up a bunch of beautiful lies to throw in an email to his ex-girlfriend.
At Jacob's instigation, he decides to meet up with a strange woman named Vivien, who carries the five condoms that his friend stuffed him.
Vivien smoked, sweared, and behaved rudely, trying her best to pretend to be a sister.
"I'm 17 years old, but don't worry, I'll be 18 in a few months," she said. If you want to do it, you can come to my house, my mother's room is on the other side of the living room, and my father went hunting. Wow, I don't know if I can take it, I'm already wet......"
However, no one knows that she is 27 years old, her dream of being an actor is broken, she has been pregnant, she has had a fetus, and her boyfriend has split her legs. She constantly attacked, provoked, and taunted Wilson, just trying to cover up the deep pool in her heart.
Just like that, two guys met on New Year's Eve.
Los Angeles, streets.
Chu Qing, who had a decadent face, and Deschanel, who was eccentric, were looking around blankly. The camera is pinned to the middle and long shots, making them look like two wretched worms drowning in the city.
In the middle of the ring, he asked, "Where are we going?" ”
"I don't know, I'm following you." She shook off her purse.
"I'm following you."
"I'm not going to go into the car with you!" She suddenly emphasized.
“……”
Chu Qing understood this sentence very slowly, and asked again: "Maybe we can take the subway?" ”
“YEAH! Sounds good, public. There are people all around, and you can't rape me. ”
“What?” He thought it was ridiculous.
Deschanel ignored it, turned around on his own, and the thing waved his hand depressedly, and caught up with him in small steps.
The camera hangs not far away, one in front and one in the back. They also completely entered a state of passers-by, and those passers-by barely realized that it was filming.
"I'm with you before sunset, and then I'm going to think about whether I like you or not. If you don't like it. I just left with someone else. ”
"Are you kidding?" He's incredible.
“NO! I'm not going around in circles, you look good so far, but I'm not going to stand in the middle of a bunch of hot kissers at midnight with a piece of crap next to me! She instantly became hysterical.
“GOOD!”
Alex ran over, as excited as ever: "You guys are just amazing! I'm already struggling with which one do I want to love? ”
"Dude, can you let me go? You're strangling too hard! Chu Qingte disliked.
“SORRY!”
The director hurriedly let go, his face a little stupid. It's no wonder he's excited, his debut. You have to worry about everything, especially the run-in of the hero and heroine. I never know the bottom of my heart.
The truth is beyond imagination, one is jumpy, one is dull, one is sensitive and delicate, and the other is dull and dull. They are scattered in the streets, they are aimless. They complain about the stock exchange, they yearn for a high-end coffee shop, they want to go to a bar that has long been closed, and everything about them is like the scorching sun melting the iceberg. It turned into a pool full of spring water.
……
In the afternoon, it was sunny.
It's a theater, the kind of small stage where a play is performed, it's very old. The large cathedral-like dome stretches endlessly, with chairs covered with red cloth, intricate wall carvings, and a second-floor seating that has long been deserted.
Los Angeles is home to a number of abandoned theaters, decades or even centuries old, no matter how glorious they once were, and now they are empty.
Today is a major event, and it is also one of the three revisions proposed by Chu Qing. Alex was ravaged for eight days before he could write a satisfactory paragraph.
The crew rented for five hours, making the most of every minute, and when it was ready, Alex shouted:
“ACTION!”
The light inside was dim, gray and bright, and two faint figures dragged out of the floor. Deschanel looked at the auditorium, stared straight at the snow-white headlights, and melted in.
"You know what?"
She suddenly turned around and said, "I've been standing on the stage every year since I was twelve. That's why I came to Los Angeles to be an actor...... My friend gave me the best parting party, and I was so drunk that I couldn't even pack my luggage in the car. And then I came here, wasting time with my stupid boyfriend......"
“YEAH!”
Chu Qing stepped a few steps, also faced the audience, and said with open arms: "Welcome to Los Angeles, you can embrace the pain to your heart's content!" ”
"Pain?"
Deschanel leaned next to him and excitedly said, "Wilson, look at this place, look at this theater, fantastic scattered all over the city. How many screenwriters and actors are on duty in Los Angeles, write something quickly, we can play here! ”
“NO!”
Chu Qing glanced at her and walked to the depths of the stage.
"Hurry up! I can play it! ”
She was still urging, eagerly: "Some sexy, irritating character who can use a dagger!" ”
"Hah!"
He scoffed and laughed at himself, "SORRY, I'VE ONLY WRITTEN COMEDY." ”
"You write comedy?"
The girl's expression was very weird, and she said sincerely: "You are the most boring person I have ever seen!" ”
"Please, I'm not going well this year." He was innocent.
"Well, you'll get through it! You know, though, time is passing quickly, you're getting old, think about anything, we can do it here! Hurry up, hurry up! ”
“OK! OK! Let me think about it......"
Chu Qing kept snapping his fingers, began to turn along the stage, and thought: "Outside, long street, night." ”
"GOOD, I LIKE THE EVENING, SO WHAT ABOUT ME, WHAT AM I?"
Deschanel snapped his fingers as well, and turned along the way, and the two of them walked in a wonderful circle, shadows dancing softly.
"A very thin prostitute* standing on the side of the street, looking for a target."
He kept his head down, occasionally glancing at the other.
"A man appears, he's tall and looks nasty."
She shook her head, her black hair swaying back and forth.
"The man was very interested and decided to give it a try."
The woman was a little flustered, but she managed to keep her composure.
As he spoke, he spun around, and the ring became smaller and smaller, and the shadows overlapped more and more, and finally, "the man stopped three meters away, and the woman looked directly at him, and then ......"
Chu Qing stood still, straight and straight, as if waiting for the door of the world to open.
Deschanel stepped on his steps, listening to his dreamlike whispers, feeling each other's breath slowly approaching, "She stepped forward, she was laughing, she stood on tiptoe and closed her eyes......"
"Smack!"
Just when Hua Hao was a good person, she raised her hand and slapped her face and scolded: "You bastard! What are you doing, do you want me to kiss you? ”
"Please, you said you were going to act!" Chu Qing spread out his hands, feeling particularly wronged.
“FU*CK! Shut your stinky mouth, and I know that men are never to be trusted! I know what you're thinking! I hate this kind of thing! ”
She was like a lion cub who was abandoned in the wilderness, and it was easy to touch a little warmth, but she didn't dare to step forward, so she could only hide her anxiety with irritability.
“……”
Chu Qing looked at the angry little face and beautiful blue eyes, and his heart suddenly trembled, and the next second was a blue sea and a clear sky. And the dust in his eyes was slowly wiped by the blue sky, dripping the first touch of translucency.
"You ......"
Deschanel's heart was weak for no reason, and he couldn't help but take two steps back, and said, "Okay, I admit that I went too far, you can slap me back." ”
“NO!”
He laughed and said softly, "This is the best meeting I have had this year." (To be continued.) )
