"You mean..."

Renly looked at Jennifer's eyes that were getting brighter and brighter, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise. Even though she didn't say anything, the light in those eyes was in harmony with Renly's mind. He nodded, expressing his affirmation. "Yeah, why can't we take the conversation away?"

Drake didn't change his breath, he choked directly, "Cough cough." Choked by his own breath, "You mean, there is no dialogue at all in this section? Is this a silent movie?" This is really too bold , too ridiculous.

"Of course not." Renly laughed dumbly, "but let's change the way, one person speaks, and one person listens." Renly sorted out his thoughts, "For example, when Jacob was talking, Anna just stood there watching silently, listening intently, and vice versa. This way, we could reduce the number of conversations and shift the focus of the script from the 'before sunrise' type of talk to the conversation between two people. Aura fusion."

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

Jennifer also nodded in agreement. Just after she said it, she realized that she might be too loud, so she bit her lower lip, forcibly held back her words, and adjusted it before opening her mouth, "Originally, 'Love is crazy' Unlike 'Before Sunrise', I think the movie might be more similar to 'Blue Valentine', it's all about an exchange of eyes and emotions."

"Have you seen 'Blue Valentine'?" Renly looked surprised. So far, the film has only been shown in Toronto and Telluride, while Renly went to both places, but did not Meet Jennifer.

"I watched it in New York." Jennifer immediately understood what Renly meant. After all, there has been a lot of news about "buried alive" in the past two weeks. "The film has already been screened in New York, and it's ready to land at the New York Film Festival next week."

Renly showed a sudden realization, and Drake, who was left out in the cold, didn't realize it. After reacting, he said directly, "You mean, throw away those salute feelings, unify the style of the whole movie, and try to do as much as possible. Hiding all the subtleties of emotion in the performance?"

The reason why Drake is obsessed with "Before Sunrise" is actually to pay tribute and express his love for the film. But the script of "Crazy in Love" is not suitable for tribute as a whole, and removing this part now 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 whole film. , Felicity and Renly are both the results of his search, and he has no reason not to believe them.

"Yes, that's what I mean." From Drake to Jennifer, and then from Jennifer to Drake, the change of topic was so smooth, without any sense of disobedience, Jennifer, who was standing next to him, bowed his head and laughed , Renly continued, "Also, we can actually make a little modification. Jacob and Anna will return to the apartment, not after dinner, but later, say... eleven o'clock. Then, Anna's roommates are already asleep, so they have to keep their hands down and keep their voices down."

"Clap!" Drake clapped his hands heavily, his excitement was beyond words, but before he had time to speak, he beat himself up and said with a grin, "Okay! This is a good idea!"

If it's late at night, they're supposed to keep their voices low, and their communication can't be a tedious conversation; unlike those who end up with /*** on their first date, they don't roll /bed/sheets on the first night , It is also because of the exchange of ideas between the two people that they became soulmates, which prompted the later love to be more fiery and intense.

Drake's whole train of thought was connected, and he couldn't restrain his excitement, pacing back and forth, babbling some vague words in his mouth. Jennifer glanced at Renly, raised her chin, gestured to Drake, and said softly, "Did you break his clockwork?" As if Drake were a broken toy.

Renly pursed his lips and shrugged, "Would you like a pat then? Generally speaking, a pat is always good."

The ridiculed Drake still didn't feel anything. After turning around for a few times, his footsteps suddenly stopped, "But, Ben isn't here, what about the lines?"

Ben-York-Jones, a friend of Drake's and another writer for "Crazy Love". Generally speaking, the script of a movie is also written by several screenwriters. One screenwriter writes the story line, one screenwriter writes the lines, and one screenwriter is responsible for revising the character relationships and character details.

That's what happened to "Crazy Love", where Drake worked with Ben, with Drake doing the storyline and Ben filling in the lines.

Renly spread his hands, and faced with this question, there was nothing he could do. Drake thought about it seriously, and said hesitantly, "Renly, 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 the resonance between herself and the environment, she heard the call and hurried out, "What's wrong?"

"You and Renly study the lines of the script carefully, and then discard the script according to your own understanding. We shoot this scene exactly according to the ideas of the two of you, and let you play freely." Drake's words are clueless. Yes, it made Felicity puzzled, but he didn't explain further, and walked towards the room quickly, explaining the shooting for a while.

Felicity looked at Renly with a question mark on her face, Renly just summed up her concerns and solutions, Felicity bit her lower lip lightly and nodded thoughtfully, "Then, we Now read the script twice? What do you think?"

Clear and gentle tone, but there is a faint tenacity. In just a few seconds, not only did he understand the entire ins and outs, but he also completed the understanding and made a quick judgment. From this small detail, it can be seen that Felicity has her own understanding of performance.

"Of course." Renly nodded, then stood beside Felicity, tried to get out of the way to avoid getting in the way, and read the script in a low voice.

The original script had a lot of lines and was nearly four pages long. The two exchanged their views on art, film, and music, as well as fashion and social focus. Finally, they talked about Nietzsche. The exchange of information between you and me, between the lines, presents the tip of the iceberg of the worldview of the two people, which is undoubtedly crucial for actors to build characters.

Now, although these lines are to be discarded, their value to Felicity and Renly is incalculable.

"So, have you confessed to the boy before?" Renly put down the script and looked at Felicity with a smile.

Felicity was still holding the script in her hand, her eyes showed from behind the script, she was stunned for a while, and suddenly, a smile bloomed, "Actually, yes, I took the initiative to confess; but the other party regarded me as a lunatic. ."

This suddenly reminded Renly of the details in the "Crazy in Love" script. In Anna's love letter to Jacob, she remarked at the end, "I'm not crazy." Therefore, Felicity's seemingly true and false words are really unpredictable, whether it is Felicity's own experience or Anna's.

"What about you? I believe, you should be familiar with it, right? The girl confessed to you?" Felicity's teeth lightly bit the inside of her lower lip, and the soft lips glowed with a faint layer of light. Pink, with a sly gleam in his eyes. Unlike Jennifer's boldness, carefulness, and straightforwardness, Felicity is like a Persian cat, with a mischievous nature hidden in her laziness.

Renly pursed his lips slightly, "I don't know, now that Oxford has become popular to confess directly and boldly?"

Such an unexpected answer, Felicity did not refute, but showed a surprised look, her big watery eyes widened, unable to hide her surprise, "How do you know that I graduated from Oxford University? Are you too?"

From Felicity's accent alone, Renly could hear too much information. Not only did he know that Felicity was from Oxford University, but he also knew that she was a commoner and was admitted to Oxford by her own efforts. For British aristocrats, it is no joke to distinguish a person's net worth by accent, or even from that area of London.

Renly showed a faint smile, did not respond to Felicity's question, but continued, "I'm more curious about why Oxford graduates become actors?" Generally speaking, Oxford graduates In politics and business, graduates from Cambridge University are more engaged in art, literature and research.

"Kate-Besale is my alumnus." Felicity finally showed her edge at this moment, and the rebuttals and confrontations were not down. After getting along with her today, she has always been low-key and restrained, and seems to have hidden her personality tightly until now.

Renly's smile grew brighter instead, "You mean, Beckinsale is your actor template?"

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

Felicity couldn't help being choked. Of course she didn't want to be a vase. She rolled her eyes and said, "You mean, you don't like Beckinsale?" Looking up and down Renly, he was clearly questioning Renly's "man" status.

Renly raised his eyebrows slightly, and the corners of his mouth had a smile that was not a smile, and looked at Felicity intently. The information revealed in those eyes seemed to say: I prefer your type.

At first, Felicity held her chest out and looked at Renly, but gradually, she was defeated by Renly's scorching gaze, and two flushes flew on her cheeks. The heart began to pound violently.
