Renly's speaking rhythm couldn't help but pause for a moment. He carefully looked at Jennifer in front of him. The corner of his mouth rose because of the unexpected question. "Do you want to know my answer, or Jacob's answer?"

After the question was uttered, Jennifer also realized her recklessness, and her cheeks were slightly hot, but she concealed it well and did not reveal her emotions, but Renly's answer made her more and more flustered, she bit down Lips, shyness and embarrassment were still exposed, and then she saw Ren Li laughing softly, the laughter like hot spring water gurgling in her chest, but her down eyes couldn't hide the bottom of her eyes. That touch of gentle teasing, as if the autumn sunshine stopped at the end of the brows of the Ying Ting.

Jennifer rolled her eyes helplessly, didn't hide her embarrassment, spread her hands, said with a self-defeating expression, "Well, I know, I shouldn't ask this question. I told you long ago, my tone /Love skills are terrible."

"Haha." Laughter overflowed from Renly's throat, and Jennifer raised her hands in a gesture of surrender, then changed the subject freely, "Do you think Jacob loved Sam? "

Renly put away his smile, and his eyes fell on Jennifer again.

To be honest, Jennifer is not a typical beauty, she still has some baby fat, and her facial features are not the type that makes people shine, but have a simple taste. At this time, a simple plaid shirt and jeans are matched It highlights the approachability of the girl next door; but Jennifer's eyes are very distinctive, and there are countless complicated emotions hidden in the deep pupils, which is also the source of her performance. Able to tell countless stories, the perseverance and stubbornness between the eyebrows have a maturity that does not match the age.

She was even a year younger than Renly.

"No, he never loved Sam." Renly knew it was cruel, but it was the truth. "All he needed was the company of someone."

In Renly's view, Jacob felt powerless and alone after returning from London, especially since Anna had moved on, made new friends, and re-started her career. Her life had been turned upside down. Variety. But in Los Angeles, his life was in the same place, he missed Anna bitterly - it was because he couldn't hold back his thoughts that he flew to London, his world was deserted and stagnant, even the creation of My own business has always been absent-minded, and I just want to divert my attention.

After returning to Los Angeles again, the two chose to break up. Jacob and Anna both agreed to break up, and they were calm, but they still loved each other deeply. Breaking up is like digging a big hole deep inside that simply cannot be filled.

That's when Sam showed up. The right time, the right place, even if not the right person, but Jacob stretched out his arms and embraced this warmth.

"So, he's a bastard." Jennifer said decisively, with a sharp tone in her firm tone. Only in such a moment can you see Jennifer's nineteen-year-old youthful spirit.

Renly laughed dumbly and nodded slightly, "Yes, he's an asshole."

For Sam, Jacob is indeed a bastard, but this is love: knowing that the other party is a bastard, knowing that this love will not end, knowing that the two sides are not suitable for each other, knowing that it is you who will be hurt in the end , I knew it was wrong to do so, but I still couldn't hold back, and threw moths into the flames vigorously, even if the end was shattered.

Between Jacob and Anna, isn't that the case

Renly's affirmative tone made Jennifer's anger settle down, and she also understood the helplessness and sadness behind these words - everyone knows the truth, but love is quite unreasonable.

"Why on earth do you think Sam fell in love with Jacob?" This time, it was Renly who asked the question, "I mean, other than Jacob being a jerk, he wasn't an attractive person. Strong man, isn't it?"

Sam has always been aware of Anna's existence, as well as the past and present between Jacob and Anna, but she has never let go and just stays by Jacob's side unswervingly. Perhaps, deep in Sam's heart, she also hopes that her waiting and persistence will eventually usher in her own love.

However, from the beginning of the story, Jacob is not the type of woman who is popular. What's more, when Sam met Jacob, it was when he was the most down, sad, confused, and decadent.

Jennifer only realized the problem at this time and fell into deep thought.

For directors and screenwriters, they don't give too much setting and extension to the characters, and all the work needs to be done by the actors. In the script of "Crazy in Love", it did not describe how Jacob and Sam met, nor how the two decided to live together. As soon as they came up, the two had already entered their daily life. This kind of The time-fractured shooting technique, all gaps had to be filled by actors.

This is also the meaning of today's meeting. Actors must communicate and communicate, and piece together all the pieces one by one. Especially between Jacob and Sam, Anna and Simon, because the main writing of the movie focuses on Jacob and Anna, their stories are relatively complete, but the two branches are not so The treatment is just a few scenes, but it plays a vital role in the sublimation of the theme of the whole story.

It's worth mentioning, perhaps because the script was written by Drake. Therefore, his writing on Jacob and Sam is obviously more vivid and specific; but the plot between Anna and Simon is lackluster, which does not leave any room for Charlie Bray to play, so many viewers end the movie. After that, only the impression of "three leading actors" was left.

Actually, that's a pity, and if Charlie and Felicity could fill that void, the whole story would be more complete.

So, what exactly did Sam fall in love with Jacob

"Maybe, men who are decadent and vicissitudes of life always have a special attraction, don't they? Especially the kind of men with broken hearts." Jennifer joked jokingly, "Isn't there any women in bars who will specifically look for such men? ?"

"It's an interesting setting." Renly did not criticize or comment, but the slightly raised eyebrows showed disapproval: Sam is not such a type of girl. At least he thought not.

Jennifer read this emotion between Renly's brows, and she couldn't help but chuckle softly, "I can't draw that outline right now, at least I can't look at it..." While speaking, Jennifer went up to the Looking at Renly in front of him up and down, the subtext couldn't be more obvious: Renly at this moment didn't look like Jacob at all.

Today Renly was wearing a white crew-neck T-shirt with black shorts, a pair of graffiti Vance skate shoes under his feet, and his skateboard next to him—he was on it all the way to the meeting place in the morning. The simple to the extreme dress, but the youthful sunshine burst out heartily, even without any extra decoration, the clean and pure temperament is also eye-catching.

This is not Jacob.

Renly looked down at his outfit, then faced Jennifer, leaned forward slightly, put his hands on the table, and pressed his weight forward little by little, his eyes fixed on Jennifer, deep eyes. There was a hint of sadness and decadence in it, and the emotions all over the body sparsely settled down.

"All Worlds"

Jennifer leaned back reflexively. She was not used to such close contact, and she also didn't like this kind of oppressive approach. She opened her mouth to scold Renly, but when the words reached her lips, they were there. His eyes froze under the stare. The thick eyelashes rose slightly, allowing people to glimpse the confusion and confusion in the abyss. It is not clear what the feeling is, but it is just a vague shadow of negative emotions, with a little pain in the loneliness, even the reflection The sun in the depths of his eyes gradually dimmed.

Jennifer felt that Renly was very strange—they weren't very familiar before, but Renly was even stranger now. It was so unfamiliar that people couldn't recognize it, and then a low voice like a cello sounded in his ear, "So, what are you looking forward to?"

The gentle tone seemed to be blown away by a gust of wind, and the loss condensed in it made Jennifer's heart froze. He pushed his hand hard on Renly's shoulder. "No, nothing." Jennifer replied sternly.

Renly obviously did not expect such a confrontation. Unprepared, he slammed into the back of the chair heavily. The dull sound made everyone else look over. Drake, who was talking to Felicity Even more blank, he said in a panic, "What's wrong? What's wrong?"

Jennifer also realized that she was overreacting, and scratched her head embarrassingly, "... I'm just not used to someone approaching suddenly, this... It's too greasy." Jennifer's words made everyone stunned, she revealed to Renly With an embarrassed smile, "I'm sorry...?" The end of the sound dragged on the elder, and then rose up, as if he was not sure if he should apologize.

Renly reacted at this time, looking at the stunned expressions of Drake and the others, and at Jennifer's overwhelmed expression, an inexplicable sense of joy emerged spontaneously, and a smile spread on the corners of his mouth, the more It grew bigger, bigger and bigger, and finally burst out laughing, the brisk smile bloomed from the corner of the mouth to the bottom of the eyes, and bloomed freely and wantonly, and then teased himself, "It seems that I have to start over again. Update your flirting / flirting methods, otherwise the next time you strike up a conversation in a bar and get called 'greasy' by the other party, that night will be completely ruined."
