222 ready
Jennifer looked at the bright and brisk smile on the corner of Renly's mouth. It was like a flower blooming proudly after encountering the first spring breeze. In an instant, the beauty added a touch of bright color to the whole world. Her bright eyes were narrowed by the cheerful smile. It became a long and thin line, and the faint light revealed the joy after the prank, with a cunning and proud look like a child..
This reminded Jennifer of the last time she was at Mount Sinai Hospital, Renly holding a kite in his hand. It was completely different from his usual mature, steady and gentlemanly manner. That simple, pure and clean smile was like a child's. A five-year-old child, sunny, beautiful and innocent.
Renly's teasing made Derek and the others chuckle. Although they didn't understand what happened just now, the banter and ridicule in his words really made people laugh..
Jennifer twitched her lips and laughed with everyone, but the laughter was a little dry. She lowered her eyes in embarrassment, avoiding the bright smile, and the sound of her heart pounding "plop, plop" came from her chest. She jumped up and down like a deer, and the unfamiliar feeling caused a little sweat to form on her fingertips..
Renly was just demonstrating a performance just now, but she was like a high school student who had never seen the world, panicking and being at a loss. No, she was originally a high school student. Thinking of this, she was ridiculous, funny, shy and speechless. The smile sounded low from the depths of her throat, and the fleeting throbbing made Jennifer feel more and more funny the more she thought about it. After all, she couldn't hold it back, so she burst out laughing and joined everyone else - even though it was A beat slower.
After finally waiting for the laughter to calm down, Jennifer suddenly said, "A child-like smile..”
“What? "Drake and the others didn't know why, so they asked with question marks on their heads..
Jennifer turned her head and looked over, "Renly asked me just now why Sam fell in love with Jacob. I said, child-like smile." Then Jennifer turned back and looked at Renly, paused for a moment, Then he said, "There is also the lingering melancholy between my eyebrows, which makes me always want to reach out and smooth it, and then... see that child-like smile again..”
As she spoke, Jennifer raised her right hand. Under the astonished gazes of everyone, her slender fingertips stretched towards Renly's eyebrows, as if she wanted to smooth out the tiny wrinkles with her fingertips..
Renly really didn't feel comfortable with it, so he subconsciously leaned back and stayed away from the probing fingertips..
But just such a small, conditioned reflex reaction made the air freeze for a moment. Then, Jennifer gathered her fingertips, raised her head and laughed loudly, "Hahahaha!" Looking at Renly's calm expression, His expression was even more overjoyed, he held his belly and laughed loudly..
Prank against prank, Jennifer also got her revenge.
When Renly saw Jennifer's fingertips tightening, he had already reacted. Thinking about it carefully, the absurd joy suddenly emerged, and then he saw Jennifer's face without any baggage, without any cover-up, without any image. He laughed loudly, and Renly couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, and laughed heartily..
This time, Derek who was sitting next to him did not join in. He looked at Renly and Jennifer who were looking at each other laughing with helpless expressions. Felicity couldn't help but pursed her lips and laughed. She felt that such a scene was too much. I was overjoyed, but I wasn’t sure whether my laughter would be too rude, so I controlled it a little..
“Hey, hey, you two." Derek couldn't hold it back and waved his hand to stop the two people in front of him, "You two! Renly, you should communicate with Felicity and create a spark. She is your lover and your wife..”
This is a typical director's perspective. They know almost nothing about the tacit understanding and running-in between actors, and they just piece it together according to their own ideas. Directors like William Wyler who know how to train actors are really rare..
Hearing the director's words, the four actors chuckled, and Jennifer even muttered directly, "When is the wedding?"？”
Just now, Drake used the real names of the two actors, not Jacob and Anna; but generally speaking, in order to distinguish reality from drama, actors will be very careful about whether they use the character names in the script. Of course, There is no such need for commercial popcorn movies..
Jennifer's teasing once again made the actors laugh even more happily.
Renly's eyes fell on Felicity. He nodded in a friendly manner, and Felicity nodded quickly in return. Then he looked at the director who didn't know what was going on, "Drake, what's going on here?" In the movie, Anna and I never knew each other, from knowing each other to falling in love, from falling in love to not knowing each other. This process of exploration requires us to keep a certain distance, which is good for the performance..”
In other words, it is to cultivate feelings based on the filming process of the movie and synchronize reality with the movie. However, this method is not universally applicable. If the movie is shot using a method that disrupts the timeline, it will not work..
After finishing speaking, Renly looked at Felicity again, "What we need now is not a spark, but a tacit understanding.".”
Renly has found some feelings for Jacob. As Drake said, Jacob likes Anna's eyes. It just so happens that Felicity also has a pair of moving eyes..
This was the first formal communication between Renly and Felicity after their meeting today. Although it was just eye contact, Felicity immediately understood the deep meaning in Renly's eyes, and she nodded. affirmed, "I agree with Jennifer's point of view, smiling.”
Derek obviously didn't follow the rhythm of this meaningless sentence, and Charlie was also a little confused. However, Renly, Jennifer and Felicity exchanged glances, and they revealed a clear understanding. Look. What Felicity said was that the shining point of Anna falling in love with Jacob was her smile..
However, Anna and Sam are obviously different. What Sam sees is a smile in heartbreak; while what Anna sees is a bright smile without any reservation, carefree, shy and ignorant, gentle and introverted. smile.
Renly spread his hands with a helpless expression, "It seems that I have to smile as little as possible in the future, otherwise there will be too many people following behind, which is also a worry." There was a trace of complacency in that look. The childish mischief made both Jennifer and Felicity laugh. The two women exchanged glances, and then both showed a look of disdain towards Renly, which made the atmosphere even more joyful..
Derek and Charlie sat next to them, looking confused and really sad..
Renly really gained a lot today. The script written by Drake actually has some shortcomings. It lacks Anna's psychological foreshadowing and the subplots of the two characters of Sam and Simon. In other words, Drake has more At that time, he talked about his own psychology, that is, Jacob, and then outlined the whole story from his perspective, from the experience gained from that broken marriage, and from some conversations with his ex-wife..
Renly believed that Drake must have had a long talk with his ex-wife, so the movie's description of Anna was also very detailed. However, for Renly, he lacked the vision of himself in Anna's eyes and the vision of Sam in Sam's eyes. These two pieces of the puzzle can now be completed through dialogue and communication, which is crucial to the construction of the character..
“So, what’s our next plan? After the joke, Renly took the initiative to bring the topic back to work, "When will we start filming?"？”
“This afternoon." Drake gave a straightforward answer. This is the case for independent film crews. There is not much preparation work and not too many cumbersome procedures. They can shoot directly anytime, anywhere, "We will first shoot in Los Angeles. Finish part of the shooting, then go to London, and return to Los Angeles to shoot the finale. Jennifer's scene will be shot in one go, so you don't need to follow us to London; as for Charlie, it's up to you. Arrangements, if you want to stay here and follow us to London, or go back early to meet your family and wait for our rendezvous, there is no problem..”
“Why? It was Felicity who asked the question, and she showed a puzzled look, "Can't we finish shooting in Los Angeles first, and then go to London to shoot?" Or the other way around？”
“The ending contains the vicissitudes caused by the entire wasted time. If it is shot here in one go, on the one hand I am worried that it will be more difficult for you to get into the mood. Of course, as a director, I may not be careful enough to capture these delicate shots; on the other hand, I am worried that it will be more difficult for you to enter the emotion. On the other hand, after going to London to shoot, these emotions may also affect your performance. The tossing of time going backwards will still have an impact to a certain extent. I will try my best to follow the development of time clues to complete the shooting..”
Drake explained the ins and outs very carefully, and the actors all nodded slightly to show their understanding, "So, do you have any questions?"？”
Drake's eyes fell on the four actors in front of him one by one. No one asked any questions. Everyone exchanged glances with each other and smiled, "Very good! Let's get ready to get to work now! Wait for this One day, I have been waiting for too long. Now I finally got the chance to join Renly. I can’t wait to start work.！”
After saying that, Drake stood up and rubbed his hands together, as if he was ready to roll up his sleeves and have a big fight at any time..
Charlie was about to stand up, but when he looked at the three colleagues next to him, all three of them were sitting firmly. He hesitated for a moment, but still did not stand up after all. Then he heard Renly's voice with a faint tone. The smile rang out, "Drake, aren't you going to start working after lunch? Or, our first scene today will be filming dinner.？”
Jacob and Anna’s first date was when they met in a coffee shop, which could barely be regarded as a meal scene..
Derek was stunned for a moment, then he came to his senses, scratched his head, and laughed dryly, "Eat, eat first, of course you have to eat first. I'm so hungry." He quickly sat down again..
