In the narrow kitchen, the crackling sound of the oil pan echoed. It was supposed to bring the warmth of the family, but there was lingering tiredness between Anna's eyebrows, and even the tight shoulders drooped down. Looking at the zucchini in front of her absent-mindedly, she should continue to cut vegetables, but she froze in place and did not move.
Jacob came back from the bathroom. Hearing the movement, Anna turned her head sideways and glanced at Jacob, but Jacob's eyes did not turn to Anna at all, he just walked straight from behind Anna, back to back.
Jacob walked to the small dining table next to him and picked up his mobile phone. Sam had just texted him: Sam was still his assistant in the studio, and when he was in London, all the work in the studio was done by Sam is temporarily in charge.
After confirming the text message, Jacob put the phone back again, and Anna's voice came from his ear, "So you have a very good relationship with your colleague."
Jacob turned around, with doubts in his eyes, "Uh... what do you mean?" His voice was full of exhaustion. He didn't intend to argue with Anna, but sat down against the wall, slowly, as if every time his body was moving. A muscle was groaning, and the indifference between the eyebrows fainted under the creamy yellow light.
"Why didn't you tell me that you had a relationship with her before?" Anna turned around, turned her back to Jacob, picked up the knife again, and started cutting the zucchini.
Jacob picked up his red wine glass. Hearing this sentence, he paused slightly, raised his right hand holding the wine glass, and gently rubbed his temples with the pulp of his thumb. The heaviness spread between his gestures - he didn't even bother to use his left hand to do the action just now, and exhaled softly, "Why are you looking at my phone?"
"I didn't check your phone." Anna's voice rose unnaturally, she turned sideways, and explained, waving her right hand holding the knife, "I walked over, and then your text message just popped out." Anna dryly He laughed twice, hiding his embarrassment and jerky, "It's not that difficult..."
"My text message just popped out like that?" Jacob interrupted Anna's words, his voice rose involuntarily, and said incredulously, the sarcasm and anger between the words were deliberately suppressed, but became more and more obvious.
"Yes, I can see..." Anna turned around again and picked up the zucchini in her hand embarrassedly, as if to confirm whether the cut was appropriate, but just to hide her panic, "Not so... You don't need to be Einstein .Tell me what happened between you two."
Jacob tilted his head and looked at Anna's back weakly, his brows were full of exhaustion, and he didn't want to continue arguing any more. He slowed down his tone and said slowly, word by word, "It's nothing."
But this slow tone betrayed his impatience and boredom. Anna put down the knife and turned to face Jacob again, "Why can't you just say it directly, Jacob?"
"I said, nothing happened." Jacob played with the red wine glass with both hands, closed his eyes, leaned his head against the wall, and tried to calm his tone, but the effect was very bad.
"Obviously, there is still something going on between you and her." Anna was unrelenting, her hands folded on her chest, leaning on the edge of the stove, and said firmly.
"I..." Jacob's anger surged up. After he said a word, he gritted his teeth and tried to calm himself down, but he still failed. He simply put the red wine glass heavily on it. On the table, but the fingers didn't seem to obey, he actually picked up the wine glass again, "There is nothing between me and her!"
He put his hands on his knees and said firmly. However, Anna didn't believe it at all.
"You have nothing to do with her?"
"No! Not at all!"
"There's nothing between you two?"
"Absolutely not!"
"you are lying."
The words between you and I became a mess, she interrupted him, he interrupted her, and finally Anna made a judgment with a face full of disdain, which made Jacob's chest cluttered, and he stood up , picked up his mobile phone, wanted to say something, but found that whatever he said was wrong.
He drooped his shoulders, spread his hands, and stood face to face with Anna, "Don't check my phone again..." He looked into Anna's eyes, but couldn't hold on, then he lowered his eyes, raised his head and let out a long breath , sat down in the chair directly opposite Anna again, and the exhaustion radiating from his body seemed to be unable to hold for even a second, "It's just... I mean..." Every time he opened his mouth, he hesitated, for fear Say something inappropriate by yourself, and in the end you can only give up and put down your hands, "That will only make you more and more suspicious."
"Then why didn't you tell me..." Anna was reluctant to give up easily, she continued relentlessly, "Do you still have feelings between you and her?"
"I don't have any feeling between her and me!" Jacob finally got tired of explaining, and his anger broke through his throat and said loudly.
"You and her obviously have feelings!" Anna also raised her voice and pushed back without giving up.
"First Clan"
"No! I don't feel it at all!" Jacob gritted his teeth and squeezed out his voice word by word.
"Yes!" Anna went back to the wall in a wall-to-wall manner, even ignoring Jacob's defense that "she works with me" and directly accused, "I read your text messages!"
"She! You!" Jacob's words were stuck in his throat, he gritted his teeth fiercely, and roared angrily, "You shouldn't read my text messages!"
"Don't shout! Don't shout!" Anna pressed her left hand, motioning for Jacob to be quiet.
Jacob raised his right hand, covered his entire forehead, rubbed his temples with his thumb and forefinger, his voice returned to calm, and he said softly, "You shouldn't read my text messages."
But Anna changed the subject, "Why are you yelling at me?"
"I'm sorry I yelled just now." Jacob closed his eyes and apologized.
"Don't get mad at me." Anna continued, "If you keep shouting, everyone else will be attracted."
Looking at Anna in front of him, Jacob just felt incredible, really incredible, shook his head helplessly, and neatly put the red wine on the table, refusing to continue this conversation.
But Anna was also irritated by Jacob's nonchalant attitude, "This is very important, if someone else comes over." After speaking, Anna turned around in disappointment and turned her back to Jacob.
This time it was Jacob's turn to be angry. He widened his eyes and stared at Anna's back, "Who will come? Simon?" His voice rose again uncontrollably, but this time, waiting for his It was silence, a dead silence.
"Card!"
Drake's voice interrupted the tension in the air, Renly and Felicity didn't move, the scene wasn't over yet, but Drake called for a pause, which also meant that their performance problem.
Sure enough, Drake stepped forward, sorted out his thoughts, and said, "Jacob, your anger is not enough." His voice was thick and nasal, and even had some big tongues, but , everyone is used to it, "The anger that bursts out suddenly is still lacking in strength. I think you are not invested enough today. I need more, more!"
"Anna, your emotional contrast is not obvious enough." Along with the filming during this period, Drake gradually entered a state, calling the two actors by the names in the play. "You are not in a good state today, you are questioning Jacob, not only because there is something to doubt, but also because you are starting to get irritable inside, and you are also feeling tired. Compared to Jacob, your emotions are too weak, weak I can't even feel it, the balance of this scene has been completely taken away by Jacob, I need you to wake up!"
Drake looked at Felicity and then at Renly, his voice was extremely hoarse, "I know this scene is very difficult to shoot, do you need to rest and adjust?"
Renly shrugged and didn't speak, the irritability of extreme exhaustion carried over from the movie to life; Felicity lowered her head, said nothing, and refused any communication. Drake stood beside him with a helpless expression on his face, then took a deep breath, "Okay, then in a minute, we'll shoot again in a minute!"
Today's scene is indeed crucial. This is a critical point, a critical point in the love relationship between Anna and Jacob.
Anna and Jacob got married, and then Jacob kept going back and forth between London and Los Angeles. They had been communicating and appealing with the US embassy in London, hoping to get a visa for Anna, hoping that the two could be free Back and forth between two countries. As for where to settle down in the future, it will be discussed after the visa is issued.
However, things didn't go well. They went around for two years and still didn't solve the problem.
This time, the two were rejected by the embassy again, and they were both physically and mentally exhausted. Sitting in Anna's apartment, the two began to get into an argument.
Sam had previously texted Jacob about work, and said, "I miss you, when can you come back to LA." Jacob didn't respond to Sam, just about work. But Jacob's absent-minded performance made Anna suspicious, so she peeked at Jacob's text message, and this was the reason for the above quarrel.
But in fact, Anna is also full of loopholes. When Jacob questions, what is the relationship between Anna and Simon, whether they have already rolled/sheets, Anna can't answer. This puts the two in an endless loop:
Are their efforts worthwhile? They all have their own lives, and their persistent efforts are always rejected, so is there any point in constantly tossing back and forth? How much love is left between them? Or to be more precise, they are entangled with each other, what is it for, between Anna and Simon, between Jacob and Sam, what is that, is it love? Or to accompany
This is a tipping point where both are struggling to maintain their relationship, but the relationship is already in jeopardy.
