On a winding mountain road, the road is narrow, and only bicycles can be passed on both sides. On one side of the road is a steep cliff, and on the other side is a deep valley of the cliff, on which there is a trickle of mountain springs flowing down the cliff, like a small waterfall, and the water flows down the mountain to the drainage ditch on the side of the road and splashes onto the road.

Tao Ye sat in a small car, the window rolled down, looking out the window, while taking pictures with his camera from time to time.

It is dozens of kilometers away from the urban area and enters the territory of Zunyi, Guizhou Province in the future. The highway is slow to and fro, with occasional large trucks rumbling past and mud-covered long-distance passenger buses.

The car drove to a place with a slightly wider road, and Tao Ye said to the driver, "Master, let's turn around here." ”

"It's nothing, I just want to see it, don't think about it."

The driver began to make a U-turn, the road was narrow, the car couldn't turn around, and it was in the middle of the road, blocking the vehicles on both sides, and the blocked car honked its horn dissatisfiedly, and the driver reversed a few times before turning the car around.

Tao Ye was actually secretly looking at the scene, Wen Hao proposed to let him do the cinematography of this movie, but he was still moved, so he took advantage of the fact that there was nothing to do in the past few days, and secretly did his homework, turned the scenes of each scene in the script, and designed the shooting plan in advance.

The driver was embarrassed and said, "It's not good to turn around, the road is too narrow." ”

"It's okay, I just want to see if it's inconvenient to turn around here."

The driver asked suspiciously, "Do you think this is going on?" ”

。。。

Today is the weekend, the art examination class is closed, and Xiaoting officially started her own pull film class. According to Tao Ye's method, she first searched for the films that won the Best Performance Award at the three major European film festivals and the Oscars over the years, especially the Best Actress Award, and then found out these films from Tao Ye's collection of DVDs.

Tao Ye's collection of these DVDs is full of two wooden shelves more than one person high, each disc is packaged like a book, placed vertically, the colorful poster covers are arranged neatly, very good-looking, Xiao Ting usually only as a room decoration, today I found that Tao Ye's collection is rich, there is a feeling of sweat cow full.

Tao Ye went to another mountain road, there was a spacious open space on the side of the road, he let the car stop in the open space, and got out of the car himself. Tao Ye stood at the edge of the roadbed, with a deep valley at his feet, and from here he could see the mountain road opposite, the same road he had just walked.

From Taoye's current location, you can take a large view of the opposite road, the road is like a winding stone crevice, embedded in the middle of a huge mountain, and the vehicles are moving slowly in the stone crevices. Tao Ye took a picture with a camera, changed the focal length, took photos of different scenes, and made lens designs in his mind.

Tao Ye received a call from Fan Lina at this time, saying that he had something to look for him, and Tao Ye hurried back to the city by car.

Xiao Ting rewinded the title and started watching it again, and soon, Xiao Ting's eyes were attracted by the movie and she was immersed in the movie.

On the movie screen, the streets of London are bustling, and the heroine Alice played by Natalie Portman walks slowly towards the camera in the crowd, and the camera cuts to the male protagonist played by Jude Law, in the crowd, he walks opposite Alice from the other direction, and the camera cuts between the two people, both using an upgraded slow-motion effect. The two men got closer and closer, as if they had both discovered each other, as if they were both smiling at each other, and saw that a beautiful encounter was about to be staged.

Xiao Ting was deeply attracted by the unique opening plot of the movie, staring at the screen with excited eyes, suddenly there was a piercing sound of sudden braking in the stereo, Xiao Ting was too involved, and subconsciously exclaimed.

Xiaoting spent a morning working to toss out a lot of DVDs to watch, but she made a difficult choice. She had two DVDs in her hand, one was "Stealing Hearts" and the other was "Black Swan", both starring Natalie Portman, and she couldn't decide which one to watch first, and she read the synopsis of the story on the cover of the disc again, still entangled.

Intellectually speaking, she should have watched "Black Swan" first, this movie is a story about ballet, Natalie Portman won the Oscar for Best Actress for this film, but the title and story synopsis of "Stealing Hearts" are really attractive to Xiaoting. After much struggle, Xiaoting still chose to watch "Stealing Hearts" first, she took the disc out of the box and put it in the DVD player. The stereo, projector and curtain were ready, Xiaoting walked over and closed the curtains, and the room suddenly went dark.

The acoustics are good, the opening music plays, echoing through the room, and in the darkness, the movie appears on the curtain hanging on the wall. When the huge red title "CLOSER" that almost covered the entire screen came out, Xiaoting pressed pause, picked up her mobile phone and took a photo, and then sent it to Tao Ye.

Alice said, "This is the only way to leave, I don't love you anymore, goodbye." ”

The male protagonist asked again: "What if you still love him?" ”

Alice said, "I won't leave"

On the screen, Alice, who was about to cross the street from the sidewalk, was scratched by a taxi, fell to the side of the street, and passed out, and the crowd screamed. The hero hurriedly rushed to Alice's side, Alice was fine, she quickly woke up, looked up and saw the male protagonist, and recognized him, and said "hello stranger"

Seeing this, Xiaoting smiled with relief, tears flashing with excitement in her eyes.

On the screen, Alice and the male protagonist walk down the high steps of the building, and the two are talking about why Alice left New York for London.

。。。

Tao Ye rode to the outside of the hotel where the actor lived, let the car park in the parking lot in front of the gate, he got out of the car, and while waiting for Fan Lina, he moved his legs and feet under the car.

Tao Ye took out his mobile phone to look at it, saw the message Xiaoting sent him before, and clicked on it, it was a screenshot of the movie "Stealing Hearts", and the title "CLOSER" in red font. He was just about to send a message back to Xiaoting, and saw the Mercedes-Benz business car that picked up Qiqi drove to the front of the hotel, and soon, Qiqi and Xiaoyun came out of the hotel with their luggage. The two got into the car and drove away.

The male protagonist asked: "You have never left the person you still love?" ”

Alice said firmly, "No." ”

Xiaoting watched the movie intently, for fear of missing any detail and missing any line.

Tao Ye was waiting for Fan Lina in the parking lot in front of the hotel while talking to Xiaoting

Tao Ye asked, "What are you doing?" ”

"Watching a movie."

Tao Yejia, Xiaoting continued to watch the movie. On the screen, Julia Roberts plays a mature and charming female photographer who is taking portraits of the male protagonist, chatting while shooting, and a mutual admiration and ambiguous emotions gradually permeate between the two people. The male protagonist softly asked the female photographer to come over.,The female photographer hesitated.,Walk towards the male owner.。。。

At this moment, Xiaoting's mobile phone suddenly rang, Xiaoting was startled, quickly grabbed the remote control, and pressed pause. On the screen, the female photographer walked to the male protagonist, the two of them were very close, their eyes were facing each other, and their eyes were shining with ambiguous sparks, feeling that something was about to happen.

The call was from Tao Ye, and Xiaoting picked up the phone.

Xiaoting said dissatisfiedly: "You hit me again." ”

"Nope." Tao Ye himself realized it, but he refused to admit it.

"Then whether you admit it or not, the title of the film is very appropriate." Xiaoting is particularly stubborn this time.

"What about watching "Stealing Hearts"? How did you remember to watch this one first? ”

"I originally wanted to watch "Black Swan" first, but after thinking about it, I still watched this first, I like it, it's so good-looking, and the name is good."

Tao Yeyu said disdainfully: "I know that this kind of title will definitely attract little girls like you, you can't always watch the film with the psychology of ordinary audiences in the future, you will soon be an industry insider." ”

"I just started reading it, do you want me to give you a spoiler?"

Xiaoting screamed, "Ah, don't. ”

"Forget it, I won't tease you, you can watch it slowly by yourself, and then go to Douban to read the movie review after reading it."

"I think the English title is more close, and the Chinese ones are given by Hong Kong and Taiwan... Where do you see it? ”

When it comes to movies, Tao Ye has momentum.

Xiaoting glanced at the freeze-frame picture on the screen, "Julia Roberts is taking pictures of the male protagonist." ”

"Ah, I know what you're trying to say." Tao ambition comprehended.

"Then you say, let's see if we can have a good heart." Xiaoting eagerly looked forward to it.

Tao Ye said confidently, "Hello Shranger." ”

Xiaoting suddenly said, "Hey, don't you think they look like us." ”

"Who?"

"Alice and the male lead."

"Which one is that?"

"Unsuspecting people...

"Well, what do you mean?"

Xiaoting shouted excitedly, "Yes, yes, we have too much tacit understanding, then you say, I don't look like Alice." ”

Tao Ye deliberately teased Xiaoting, "It's definitely not like it, she dances a striptease." ”

Xiaoting was a little anxious, "It's not about this." ”

"Why?"

"You don't want me to spoil! Okay, I'm not going to tell you, I've got to do something. ”

Xiaoting hurriedly asked again: "Hey, did you receive it by express?" ”

As he was talking, Tao Ye saw Fan Lina walking out of the hotel gate, looking around looking for him, Tao Ye hurriedly waved to Fan Lina, and Fan Lina walked towards him.

Xiaoting also said on the phone: "There is this line in the movie, the male protagonist commented on Alice's 'She is unsuspecting to people', which is not like me, in fact, I am such a person." ”

"It's a little bit, but when you're done watching the whole film, it doesn't feel like it."

"Do you want to do photography?"

"Nothing."

Tao Ye didn't expect to be guessed by Xiao Ting, but he still denied it first, he didn't want to go out first if it didn't work out.

"Not yet, it's almost time for today."

"Why do you want so many books? Express delivery is precious. ”

Tao Ye pretended to be relaxed, "It's okay to take a look." ”

Tao Ye pointed to the Didi car he was riding in, it was a car, not the Jinbei van of the previous crew.

Fan Lina asked strangely: "Why did you change the car?" ”

Tao Ye was helpless, "The cars in the group are all stopped, and there is no money to refuel." ”

Tao Ye hung up the phone, and Fan Lina had already hurriedly walked in front of her.

"Why did you go, why did you come here?"

"There's a scene where the director doesn't have time to watch, so let me go and take a look first and get in the car."

Tao Ye was pleasantly surprised, "Really? ”

。。。

Xiaoting went to the toilet, drank a sip of water, sorted out her mood, let the interrupted emotions return to the movie, and pressed the play button.

Fan Lina shook her head helplessly, "How can this be." ”

"Where are you going, you're in such a hurry to get me here."

"Go to Mr. Sun's winery, he wants to sponsor our movie."

Xiao Ting struggled out of the emotions in the play, and scolded hatefully, "Scumbag! ”

。。。

The town is not big, and the car quickly drove out of the city, into the mountains, and drove on the winding mountain road.

On the screen, Julia Roberts and the male protagonist looked at each other ambiguously, and each other's eyes flashed with an irrepressible desire to be seduced...

Xiaoting also had a premonition that something was about to happen, she was too into the play, and she couldn't help but have her heart beating faster and her face red.

Julia Roberts and the male protagonist kissed! The male protagonist is cheating!

"No, let's talk about it first."

"Mr. Sun's wine is really delicious, I took a few sips, it was a bit like Moutai, and the old actor Wu Zhaohe also asked for a bottle from me. I really haven't seen anything sold on the market, but it's really negotiated, and it's also borrowed our movies to help them do publicity. ”

"You also want to talk about it, I've never pulled sponsors, and I have no experience at all."

Tao Ye joked with Fan Lina, "After all, he is a person who has done import and export business, and he is business-minded." ”

"You don't come here, if you don't help the director, I won't open my mouth, isn't this equivalent to asking for money from others."

"Don't think so, this is a mutually beneficial thing, did you tell Wen Hao?"

Fan Lina asked again: "Has there been any progress in Wen Hao's talks, it's been a few days." ”

"It's so easy to talk to me. Hey, I saw Kiki just now, and the producer of the management, the two got in the car and left, I guess they went to the airport. This time, there is no way back at all, and the situation is pressing. ”

"We can't live in this hotel the day after tomorrow, the hotel said that it was not renewed, and urged us to check out."

Tao Ye thought for a while, "I have to find out that the production qualifications of their distillery are all incomplete, and I heard that the review of advertising placement is quite strict." How much can Mr. Sun sponsor? ”

"I haven't said it specifically, let's talk about it later, he doesn't expect to sponsor much for such a small winery, and it's a drop in the bucket."

"Don't pick and choose at this time, grasshoppers are also meat."

The car drove into the gate of the distillery, the distillery is not big, there is a yard in front, and there is a bungalow against the courtyard wall that is an office. Fan Lina and Tao Ye got out of the car and looked around, the yard was quiet, and there was no one, not like starting production, and the two walked towards the general manager's office.

The two walked into the office, Mr. Sun was not there, the female secretary sat behind the desk and was bored playing games on the computer, and a few other people sat lazily on the sofa in a half-circle horizontally and vertically, or even half-lying, and when they saw someone coming in, they all looked at Tao Ye and Fan Lina, their eyes were full of vigilance.

Fan Lina asked the secretary: "Is Mr. Sun here?" ”

"I know, when I came out, I saw the director and the producer go out to find a room for you, I don't know how you looked, but I still want you to live better."

"How good could it be in such a small place?"

"I'm afraid that other actors don't understand the director as well as you, and the group is about to be unable to open the pot."

Fan Lina was speechless, Tao Ye was unwilling, and asked behind Fan Lina: "Then when will he come back?" ”

The secretary still has a strong look of oil and salt, "I don't know! If you are willing to wait, they will wait, and they have made an appointment with Mr. Sun. ”

Fan Lina hesitated and didn't know what to do, she looked at the few people on the sofa, who were also staring at her. Tao Ye looked at the office, and there were business licenses and production permits of the distillery hanging on the walls, and there were many photos used for publicity, and photos with leading celebrities.

The secretary replied coldly: "No." ”

Fan Lina asked again: "I made an appointment with him, where did he go?" ”

The secretary was still very indifferent, "I don't know." ”

Fan Lina hurriedly cleared up, "No, no, we are friends with Mr. Sun." ”

Fan Lina stabbed the hornet's nest at this time, and these people sitting on the sofa seemed to be Mr. Sun's creditors, and they all stood up and surrounded Fan Lina, shouting nonsense.

"Where is the old grandson... You tell Lao Sun to settle our accounts quickly... Who are you? ”

A man on the sofa said to the secretary: "If you try to urge Lao Sun again, it's not a matter of hiding like this, the payment owed to us should be settled half a year ago." ”

Another person also shouted, "Yes, the advertising fees owed to our company have been delayed for almost a year, and if we don't solve it, we will have to go to court to sue." ”

A person asked Fan Lina: "Lao Sun also owes you money?" ”

Tao Yejia, Xiaoting is still watching "Stealing Hearts", the movie has progressed to the end, the male protagonist has always doubted Alice's loyalty, after the two quarreled, he picked up a rose and returned to the hotel room, trying to please Alice and express his apologies.

But Alice suddenly said to him, "I don't love you anymore." ”

The male protagonist didn't believe it, and jokingly asked: "Since when?" ”

"Hey, we don't know Mr. Sun well, who should you go to?"

Tao Ye stood in front of Fan Lina, stopped these creditors, and the two hurriedly walked out of the office.

。。。

In the dimness, Xiao Ting watched the movie intently, and the light reflected on the projection screen was reflected on Xiao Ting's face and eyes. The plot enters the final climax, and the hero and heroine have a fierce quarrel.

Alice's heart was like ashes, and she said in despair, "I would have loved you forever, but now I beg you to go quickly." ”

The male protagonist begged, "Don't do this, Alice, talk to me." ”

"Now, now, I don't want to lie, and I can't tell the truth, so it's over," Alice said. ”

The male protagonist tried to redeem it, and Lai Pilai said with a face: "It's okay, I love you, so nothing else matters." ”

Alice said calmly: "It's too late, I don't love you anymore, goodbye!" ”

The male protagonist defended: "I love you." ”

Alice: "Where?" ”

The male protagonist didn't understand, "What? ”

Alice was resolute, "I'm saying, fuck off!" ”

The male protagonist only found out that Alice was real.,Quickly apologized.,"No,I'm sorry.,You misunderstood.,I don't want to.。。。 ”

Ellie didn't back down in the slightest, "That's what you think. ”

Xiaoting watched the play very much, her nervous heartbeat accelerated, and her palms were sweaty.

Alice wanted to ask the security guard to drive the male protagonist away, but the male protagonist snatched the phone, and in a fit of rage, he slapped Alice hard.

Xiaoting, like Alice in the movie, was stunned.

Alice said, "Show me, where is your love?" I can't see, I can't touch, I can't feel, I can hear, I can hear some of your words, but what can I do with your easy promises? Whatever you say, it's too late. ”

The male protagonist prayed to Alice, his facial features were deformed and ugly, "Please, don't do this." ”

Alice looked disgusted, "It's all over." ”

"I suddenly remembered a sentence."

"What?"

"The mud bodhisattva crosses the river! Let's go to beg others, but I didn't expect that Mr. Sun would be difficult to protect himself. ”

。。。

On the way back to the city, the two sat in the car sullenly and did not speak. Tao Ye didn't know what suddenly came to mind, and laughed at himself.

Fan Lina asked puzzledly, "What are you laughing at?" Isn't it funny? ”

Tao Ye and Fan Lina didn't talk for more than half a sentence, so they could only keep their mouths shut and not communicate.

。。。

Towards the end of the movie, the theme song plays again, Alice returns to the United States, and the customs officer kindly says "Welcome back". Alice regained her relaxed smile, dressed in a cool summer dress, and walked on the streets of New York with great energy, just like the beginning of the movie, on the crowded streets, slowly walking towards the camera...

"Where did you get so many cool words, are you annoying?" Fan Lina was irritable and angry at Tao Ye.

"Okay, I was wrong, I was wrong." Tao Ye hurriedly calmed down, "I mean I want to persuade you not to take it too seriously, you have to be optimistic, it was originally a dead horse as a live horse doctor, and there is a matter of jujube and no jujube to hit a pole."

"Really do you, why are you so poor, just change your career to cross talk."

"The male protagonist is too scumbag, and he looks very obscene."

Tao Ye couldn't help laughing, "That's a good acting, deliberately made like that." The actor's name is Jude Law, and many people think he is very handsome, especially girls like him. ”

"I don't think it's Natalie Portman's performance, I think it's very real."

The movie is over, the subtitles are out, the music at the end of the film continues, Xiaoting's mood can't be calm for a long time, she can't wait to pick up her mobile phone and call Tao Ye.

Tao Ye picked up Xiao Ting's phone, he was still in the car, Xiao Ting didn't speak at first, let Tao Ye listen to the end music, and listened to it for a while before she said, "I'm done." ”

Tao Ye asked, "What do you think?" ”

"Love, just be together, if you don't love, you will be separated!"

"Isn't that normal?"

"But a lot of people can't do it, Alice can control her own destiny and let herself get out of the way."

"yes, you think it's real?"

"Yes, girls are like this, whether it is Chinese or foreign, there is one thing I agree with Alice."

"Which point?"

Tao Ye hurriedly explained to Xiaoting, "How dare I hit you, I mean don't sit in the right seat when watching the movie, the movie is fictional, and if there is any similarity, it is pure coincidence." ”

"Art comes from life! Aren't you afraid that I will leave you one day? I like you and love you, so I don't care about exposing all my weaknesses to you, just like a kitten and a puppy exposing their softest belly to the most trusted person, but that doesn't mean you can despise me. ”

Xiaoting mastered the ideological theory and realized the true meaning of love, and the words began to become sharper, and the words she said pierced her heart, Tao Ye was a little overwhelmed, but she was still arguing with strong words and resisting stubbornly.

"Movies are all fake, fictional, you can't watch movies and learn to be a person, it's too naïve." Tao Ye teased Xiaoting again.

"Why do you always take the opportunity to hit me, you know, this is cold violence, do you do the same to others?"

Xiao Ting learned to fight back, Tao Ye heard Xiao Ting say this, and suddenly became a little vigilant, and a thought flashed in his heart in an instant, he didn't seem to be like this to Fan Lina. He subconsciously glanced at Fan Lina next to him, Fan Lina was leaning against the car window and closing her eyes to recuperate, as if she was completely ignoring Tao Ye's conversation with his girlfriend.

"One or two sentences are not clear, I suggest you look at the comparison between "In the Mood for Love" and "Spring in a Small Town", the ideological realm of the Chinese is 'affectionate, stop courtesy'"

Fan Lina has actually been listening to the conversation between the two all the time, and Xiao Ting can also hear what she said on the phone, but she has been pretending to take a nap and endure it, and when she heard this, she finally couldn't hold back her laughter, Tao Ye glanced at Fan Lina embarrassedly.

"Didn't you say that movies are all fake, don't watch movies to learn to be a person, why are you so contradictory."

"It's over, I really shouldn't let you watch this movie, how do you feel like you've been enlightened! The three views of this movie are a bit wrong, don't you can't understand it, it's poisoned. ”

"Why are the three views not correct?"

Xiao Ting was debating to the point of interest, pressing step by step, Tao Ye could only back down.

"You two are so funny, falling in love is like an academic debate." Fan Lina said with a smile.

"Ah, you heard it all, and it made you laugh." Self-deprecation has always been Tao Ye's weapon.

"I didn't hear it! The little girl is quite thoughtful, you should be careful. ”

Xiao Ting was not confused by Tao Ye's sophistry, and immediately grasped Tao Ye's key point. This movie seems to have made Xiaoting's emotional intelligence soar, and Tao Ye was so stunned by Xiaoting's rhetorical question that he couldn't refute it, so he could only smile awkwardly. The debate between the two ended with Tao Ye's complete defeat.

。。。

The car drove to the parking lot outside the hotel where Fan Lina lived, Fan Lina got out of the car, and Tao Ye also followed.

"You really don't want to be stinky and beautiful, the little beauty is dizzy now, when people grow up a little more, after this stage, they will be admitted to the film academy, enter this circle, and act in a few more plays, you will have no drama. You are always so stubborn, she will definitely not look down on you in the future, unless you can match her, such as really becoming a photographer, many actresses are willing to look for photography. ”

Tao Ye is really guilty of water rebellion today, first Xiao Ting was helpless, and then was educated by Fan Lina, and he couldn't refute it, so he could only continue to pick up his self-deprecating weapon, looking like a dead pig was not afraid of boiling water, pretending to be indifferent and looking at Fan Lina, and finally Fan Lina also said that she was tired.

"Okay, don't be poor with you, I haven't packed my boxes yet, it's really sad, I have to let the team send a car to pick me up tomorrow, I have several big boxes."

"Hi, little girl! I understood for a while and was confused, are all women like this? ”

"When people don't want to pretend to be confused with you one day, you will be miserable!"

"Wow, this bowl of poisonous chicken soup came at the right time."

On the screen, there are only two people in the studio, Alice and Julia Roberts, Julia Roberts is about to take a picture of Alice, she arranges Alice's hair with her hands, with a polite and somewhat heartfelt smile on her face, and there is a kind of aggressive resentment in Alice's eyes.

Julia took a picture of Alice and asked, "What do you think of the fact that he uses your life as a subject?" ”

Alice suddenly unceremoniously suppressed her anger and said, "That's none of your business!" ”

The two said goodbye, Tao Ye watched Fan Lina walk towards the hotel, thinking that this was also a discord.

。。。

Xiaoting is still unsatisfied, still "pulling the film", repeatedly watching a scene in "Stealing Hearts", Alice confronts her alone after the male protagonist and the female photographer cheat.

"I don't know how to explain it."

Alice left the high chair where she was sitting for the photo, walked to the window, and looked out the window.

Julia Roberts guiltily continued, "I'm not a thief, Alice. ”

Apparently, Julia Roberts was stunned and looked at Alice in surprise.

Alice said, "This is the look on his face when he asked me to come in downstairs just now, and I heard your conversation just now. ”

was exposed to the "adultery" by Alice in person, and Julia Roberts was very embarrassed.

Alice said hatefully, "Just take a picture of me." ”

Guilt-filled Julia didn't dare to look Alice in the eye, so she picked up her camera, pressed the shutter, and captured Alice's tears.

After Xiaoting watched this clip, she rewound it and watched it again, carefully figuring out Natalie Portman's acting skills.

Alice ignored her and just silently looked out the window.

Julia Roberts tried to calm Alice's emotions, "Would you like something to drink?" There was also a bit of vodka in the fridge that we could drink... ”

Alice turned around violently, and her face was already full of tears, which made the audience feel distressed.

Xiaoting tried to imitate Natalie Portman's performance, immersed herself in her emotions, and imitated Alice's tone.

"That's none of your business, this is the look on his face when he asked me to come in downstairs just now, I heard your conversation just now."

According to the plot in the film, Xiaoting got up and walked to the balcony door, looked outside through the gap in the curtains, watched silently for a while, and suddenly turned around.

"Just take a picture of me."

Xiaoting tried her best to immerse herself in sad emotions, but the effect was not good, and the tears never flowed. After holding it for a while, Xiaoting couldn't help laughing, and helplessly threw herself on the sofa, screaming while laughing and slapping the sofa.
