Chapter 293: Alone
In the next few days, the two basically didn't make any special arrangements, and they didn't even go out.
Regardless, it wouldn't hurt to let Leon rest and recuperate, and it would definitely help his leg injury.
The local media reports let Xing'er's friends from all walks of life know that she is here, and she also brought an extremely affectionate fiancΓ©, who came to see her in an endless stream, and everyone invariably brought all kinds of delicacies, some not only brought ready-made but also extra ingredients, ensuring that Xing'er could accompany her lover at home without going out shopping.
When it comes to passing the time, Xing'er's paradise can be described as a sparrow, although it is small, and it has all kinds of organs. She has a large study with a collection of her favorite books, and it is rare to have such a long vacation, and Xing'er is immersed in these precious books that she has cherished since she was a child.
Leon is really not surprised that she is an out-and-out detective fan, and it feels quite consistent with her personality. When it comes to reasoning, her eyes shine with reverence.
"Do you know who the originator of reasoning is?"
"Conan Doyle?" In Leon's cognition, Sherlock Holmes should be the earliest detective reasoning, right? Or, at least the most famous?
"Hmm~~~~~" Xing'er stretched out an index finger and shook it mischievously.
"The originator of the detective is not the British, but the American Edgar Allan Poe, whose 1841 book "The Murder in Morgue Street" is recognized as the world's earliest reasoning." With that, Xing'er took a book from the bookshelf and handed it to Leon.
"It's in this book, it's a short story, and it doesn't take much time to read it. By the way, do you know where Edgar Allan Poe is from? Xing'er threw out a little common sense again.
"......," Leon thought wittily for a moment, and boldly guessed, "Boston?" "After all, Xing'er would ask such a question, it must be a famous teacher.
"Bingo (bind)! Alas, it's a pity that he died young, otherwise he would have been able to leave some more classic works. Xing'er shook her head regretfully, this is a writer she likes quite a lot, talented, but unfortunately the situation before her death was not very ideal.
But in any case, true fans who like detective suspense must have heard of his name, and even Conan Doyle worshiped Poe as a god-like being. His Sherlock Holmes is said to have been inspired by Poe's work.
Leon took the book handed over by Xing'er and read it very carefully. In the short days they got along, he couldn't help but want to know more about Xing'er, understand her likes and dislikes, what she would be moved by, and what she feared. Since he is a writer she admires, he will naturally want to know about it.
So they sat back to back in the floor-to-ceiling windows of the study, snuggling up to each other and swimming in the sea of books.
This kind of almost isolated life really makes people feel very calm.
Leon's immersion in words inspired some of the scripts. He has been an actor for so many years and has read countless scripts, in fact, he has always wanted to try to work hard in this direction, but he feels that he is not enough to catty. Usually he would never confide in anyone about his budding thoughts, but in the face of Xing'er, he had no baggage at all, and discussed his interests with her very seriously.
"I think the idea of writing a script is great. If you're really interested, there are a lot of great certificate programs to take. New York has a very good one, and California has more. Speaking of New York and California, Xing'er finally asked a question she had been wanting to ask for the past few days.
"How long will you be in New York?" According to Xing'er's understanding, after Leon finished filming the last film, he is now in the adjustment period and will choose to stay in New York. There must be no reason for him to stay in New York for a long time.
"I haven't thought about it yet. After the filming of the last movie, I always wanted to give myself a long vacation, a good rest, and a good adjustment. New York is very good. Leon's implication was clear, he was willing to stay in New York and had no intention of leaving anytime soon.
"So what are you waiting for?" Xing'er suddenly jumped up, "I'll help you apply, New York University's Tisch School Of The Arts screenwriting, this is a certificate program, and you can finish it in a few months." With your industry background, I think this kind of course will definitely help you in your later career development, not to mention that it is obviously something you are interested in! β
Xing'er opened the laptop directly as she spoke, quickly browsed the web, and directly pushed the course introduction page to Leon's eyes.
To be honest, Leon didn't expect things to go in this direction, he really just came to chat casually... However, after a little reading of the certificate program introduction on the website, it does feel good. This course offers a scriptwriting workshop for new writers, with a strong emphasis on roles, motivations, and contradictions. The first third of the course focuses more on how to develop the themes of the five stories in depth, one of which will serve as the basis for the creation of a feature film. The course also focuses on reading and analysis. Students will be asked to do a lot of relevant reading in a targeted manner.
Just looking at the introduction, it is indeed as Xing'er said, this will definitely improve the acting skills of an actor like Leon. After all, studying the script and participating in the adaptation of the script is a quality that a professional actor should have.
ββββ
Before Leon could finish reading all the introductions, Xing'er opened the application page.
"What materials do I need to prepare? You can fill in the application form first, and then you can fill in the mailing materials you need. Calculate the time, and you can catch the start of next semester. The more Xing'er spoke, the more excited she became, and she felt even more excited than she was going to school by herself.
Leon shook his head helplessly, it's not that he hasn't seen a man of action, but Xing'er's execution speed is still very impressive.
But it's a really good idea, and if you tell your agent, you'll be happy for him. The entertainment industry, especially Hollywood as a whole, is very impetuous. Everyone is used to living a life of drunken fans, how many actors can calm down and study?
Xing'er clicked on the online application form and handed the computer to Leon, "If you don't want to show up, you can also take online classes." Xing'er thoughtfully offered Leon an option.
"I'm so handsome, why are I afraid to show up?" Leon showed a very confident smile, handsome and with an indescribable ruffian, to be honest, Xing'er felt like his heartbeat had missed a few beats for a moment.
She quickly withdrew her gaze, quietly adjusting the very unfamiliar feeling. I thought I was hiding it tightly, but I didn't expect everything to be seen through by Leon.
He approached step by step, and sighed helplessly without letting her go at all, and said, "Don't show this expression in front of a man, okay?" "You're going to get me out of control.
It's just that he didn't say the second half of the sentence...
