"You mean..."

Lan Li looked at Jennifer’s brighter and brighter eyes, and the corners of his mouth rose. Even though she didn’t say anything, the flashing light in those eyes was connected with Lan Li’s intentions. He nodded and expressed affirmation. "Yes, why can't we take the conversation away?"

Drake didn't change his breath, he choked, "Ahem." He was choked with his own breath, "You mean, there is no dialogue at all in this passage? Is this a silent movie?" This is too bold. , Too ridiculous.

"Of course not." Lan Li laughed blankly, "but said, let's change the way, one person speaks, and one listens." Lan Li sorted out his thoughts, "For example, when Jacob is talking, Anna stood by and watched quietly, listening attentively; and vice versa. In this way, we can reduce the number of dialogues and shift the focus of the script from the "before sunrise" style to the conversation between two people. Fusion of aura."

Drake couldn't help but fell into contemplation, seriously thinking about the feasibility of this approach.

Jennifer also nodded in agreement. As soon as the voice came out, she realized that she might be too loud, and she couldn't help but bit her lower lip. She suffocated her words abruptly. After adjusting, she said, "Originally,'Love is crazy'. It’s different from "before sunrise". I think this movie may be more similar to "Blue Valentine's Day". It is an exchange of eyes and emotions."

"Have you watched'Blue Valentine's Day'?" Lan Li showed an unexpected look. At present, this movie has only been shown in Toronto and Telluride, and Lan Li has gone to both places, but no Encounter Jennifer.

"I watched it in New York." Jennifer immediately understood what Lanly meant. After all, there had been a lot of news about "buried alive" in the past half a month. "The movie has already been screened in New York, and it is going to land at the New York Film Festival next week."

Lan Li showed a look of sudden realization. Drake, who was left out in the cold, didn't notice it. After reacting, he said directly, "You mean, abandon those tribute feelings, unify the style of the whole movie, and then try as much as possible. Hide all the subtle emotions in the performance?"

The reason why Drake is obsessed with "Before Sunrise" is actually to pay tribute and express his love for this movie. However, the overall script of "Love Is Crazy" is not suitable for paying tribute. Now removing this part can make the movie more complete.

What's more, the reason why Drake has been procrastinating until now is to find suitable actors. Not only their understanding of the role, but also their interpretation of the performance, can support the ideological core of the entire movie. The two actors, Felicity and Renly, are the result of his hard search, and he has no reason not to believe them.

"Yes, that's what I meant." From Drake to Jennifer, and then from Jennifer to Drake, the topic change was so smooth, there was no sense of disobedience, and Jennifer, who stood next to him, bowed his head and laughed. Lan Li continued to say, "In addition, we can actually make a little modification. The time when Jacob and Anna return to the apartment is not after dinner, but later, for example...11 o'clock. Then. , Anna’s roommates are already asleep, so they must be gentle and keep their voices low."

"Pop!" Drake clapped his hands heavily, his excitement was beyond words, but before he had time to speak, he hurt himself and grinned, "Okay! That's a good idea!"

If it was late at night, they would have to keep their voice down, and their communication could not be a tedious conversation; unlike those who ended with /*** on the first date, they didn’t get out/bed/single on the first night. It is also because of the exchange of ideas between the two people that they become soul mates, which makes the subsequent love more fiery and intense.

Drake's whole thoughts were connected in series, unable to restrain his excitement, pacing back and forth, babbling vague words in his mouth. Jennifer glanced at Lan Li, raised his chin, motioned to Drake, and said softly, "Did you break his clockwork?" As if Drake was a broken toy.

Lan Li pursed his lips and shrugged, "Would you like to take a shot? Generally speaking, a pat is always good."

The ridiculed Drake still didn't feel anything. After several laps, his footsteps suddenly stopped, "But, I'm not here, what should I do with the lines?"

Ben-York-Jones (Ben-York-Jones), a friend of Drake, is also another screenwriter of "Crazy Love". Generally speaking, the script of a movie is also co-written by several screenwriters. One screenwriter writes the story clues, one screenwriter writes the lines, and one screenwriter is responsible for modifying the character relationships and role details.

"Love is crazy" is like that, Drake and Ben are working together, Drake is responsible for the summary of the story, and Ben is responsible for filling in the lines.

Lan Li spread his hands and faced this problem, there was nothing he could do. Drake thought about it for a while, and said hesitantly, "Lenly, otherwise, you and Felicity...Huh? Felicity, Felicity?" Drake called Felicity over.

Felicity was originally looking at the furnishings in Anna's room, and then looking for resonance between herself and the environment. Hearing the call, she hurried out, "What's wrong?"

"You and Lan Li will study the script's lines carefully, and then discard the script based on your own understanding. We will shoot this scene exactly according to the ideas of the two of you, and let you play it freely." Drake said nothing. Yes, it made Felicity look puzzled, but he didn't explain further, and walked towards the room quickly, explaining the filming for a while.

Felicity looked at Lan Li with a question mark on his face. Lan Li summed up his concerns and solutions just now. Felicity bit her lower lip lightly, nodded thinking, "Then, we Read the script twice now, right? What do you think?"

The clear and gentle tone, but there is a faint tenacity. In just a few seconds, I not only understood the whole ins and outs, but also completed the understanding and quickly made a judgment. This small detail shows that Felicity has his own understanding of performance.

"Of course." Lan Li nodded, and then stood aside with Felicity, trying to get away from the passage to avoid getting in the way, and read the script in a low voice.

The original script contains a lot of lines. Nearly four pages of content, the two people exchanged views on art, film, and music, as well as views on fashion and social focus, and finally talked about Nietzsche. The exchange of information between you and me, between the lines, presents the two people's worldview at the tip of the iceberg, which is undoubtedly crucial for the actors to build roles.

Now, although these lines have to be discarded, for Felicity and Renly, the value of these lines is incalculable.

"So, have you taken the initiative to confess to the boy before?" Lan Li put down the script and looked at Felicity with a smile.

Felicity was still holding the script in her hand, and her eyes appeared from behind the script, and she was stunned. Suddenly, her smile bloomed, "Actually, yes, I confessed myself; but the other party regarded me as a lunatic ."

This immediately reminded Lan Li of the details in the "Love Is Crazy" script. In Anna's love letter to Jacob, at the end he remarked, "I am not a lunatic". Therefore, Felicity's words that seem to be true or false are really unpredictable, whether it is Felicity's own experience or Anna's.

"So what about you? I believe you should be no stranger at all, right? The girl confessed to you?" Felicity's teeth gently bit the inside of the lower lip, and the soft lip was faintly glowing. Pink, with a sly light shining under his eyes. Unlike Jennifer's boldness, carefulness, and straightforwardness, Felicity is like a Persian cat, with a mischievous nature hidden in his laziness.

Lan Li's mouth squeezed slightly, "I don't know, now Oxford has begun to be popular and boldly confess?"

With such an unexpected answer, Felicity did not refute, but showed a look of surprise. Her big watery eyes widened and she couldn't hide her surprise, "How do you know that I graduated from Oxford University?" Are you too?"

Just from Felicity’s accent, Lan Li could hear too much information. Not only did he know Felicity was from Oxford University, but he also knew that she was a commoner and was admitted to Oxford by her own efforts. For the British aristocracy, it is no joke to distinguish a person's wealth background by relying on accent, and even to distinguish one from the area of ​​London.

Lan Li showed a small smile, did not respond to Felicity’s question, but continued, “I’m even more curious, why do Oxford graduates become actors?” Generally speaking, Oxford graduates Politics, business, Cambridge University graduates are more engaged in art, literature, and research.

"Kate-Beckinsale (Kate-Beckinsale) is my alumnus." Felicity finally revealed her sharp edge at this moment~www.novelhall.com~ The repeated arguments and confrontations did not fail. . After getting along today, she always appeared low-key and introverted, seeming to hide her personality strictly until now.

Lan Li's smile became brighter, "You mean, Beckinsale is your actor model?"

Kate Beckinsale also graduated from Oxford University. She is a beautiful landscape in Hollywood and a representative of English roses, but she is also a typical representative of vases. Even if she starred in the "Legend of Night" series and turned into an action actress, she The appearance is still the focus of attention.

Felicity choked involuntarily. Of course, she didn't want to be a vase. As her eyes rolled, she went on to say, "You mean, you don't like Beckinsale?" She said, her eyes remained quiet. Looking up and down Lan Li, he was obviously questioning Lan Li's identity as a "man".

Lan Li raised his eyebrows lightly, with an arc of smile hanging from the corner of his mouth, staring at Felicity intently. The information revealed in those eyes seems to say: I prefer your type.

Felicity straightened her chest and stared at Lan Li at first, but gradually, she was defeated amidst Lan Li’s scorching gaze, and there were two blushes on her cheeks. The heart began to pound violently.
