Views:

Quiet, except quiet or quiet.

The whole apartment was quiet. From the silent communication to the tough confrontation, from the clear dialogue to the vague roar, the atmosphere was always tense, but the sound was like a roller coaster, rising and falling, and the emotions also experienced this thrilling together. Thrilling experience. But in the end, when all the noise disappeared and only silence remained, the helpless sigh and helpless loneliness made people unable to make a sound.

It wasn't until the olive oil in the frying pan splashed out that it seemed to start to get intense, and Drake called out "Ka", but he didn't realize until he shouted out - he was really a little voice There was nothing left, and finally he could only wave his hand and let Brian shout instead, which ended the shooting of the whole scene.

Drake starts watching the replay, revisiting the scene.

However, this time Renly didn't pass, and he still sat where he was. The pleasure of the performance returned to his body again, he could feel the difference between reality and illusion, and also the difference between himself and Jacob, but he was still deeply immersed in just now. In that helpless and dazed mood, he needed a little time.

There were footsteps at the door, Renly looked up, and saw Felicity.

Felicity's face was also full of tiredness, the kind of tiredness that surged from the depths of her soul surged between her brows, lingering, and she didn't even have the strength to show a smile.

The two of them just stared at each other quietly, without speaking, the eye contact and transmission spread under the bright yellow light, the emotions in their eyes were so similar, and the curvature of the corners of their mouths was so similar, they were still Jacob and Anna. , but also Renly and Felicity.

She twitched the corners of her mouth, trying to draw a smile, but failed, so she pursed the corners of her mouth, "Thank you." She said softly.

She needs to thank Renly, not only because of the inspiration brought by the song "Faithful" just now, which made her clear her mind; but also because in the performance just now, Renly's powerful performance aura firmly Controlling the rhythm, she didn't need to think or hesitate, following Renly's guidance, all the performances were so smooth.

It was a brand new experience, she didn't even bother to memorize the lines, those words just came out from the depths of her soul, as if she was Anna, as if she and Jacob had gone through so many vicissitudes, as if she really Exhausted, that sense of realism made acting a pleasure and a nightmare at the same time.

Immersed in Anna's emotions, unable to extricate herself, Felicity was so exhausted that she didn't even want to move a finger.

"Thank you," Renly replied.

Felicity was stunned for a moment, but then reacted, it wasn't Renly's answer, it was Jacob's answer—because deep down, they knew it was over, it was over, "Thank you "This is to thank the happiness and pain of the past years, and at the same time, as Renly, to thank the running-in and matching of the shooting in the past.

The line between reality and fantasy blurred again, and she was Felicity and Anna. She looked deeply at the man in front of her, so calm, without turbulence and embarrassment, as if she was just looking at a stranger—or an ordinary friend, her handsome face began to blur, she It was also unclear whether it was Jacob or Renly in front of him.

But, that doesn't matter anymore.

Felicity watched Renly drop her eyes and avoid them; she also lowered her eyes and turned away.

The last spark between them seemed to be shattered at this moment, and the light and color disappeared little by little, just like the exhausted love of Anna and Jacob, and gradually disappeared into a dead silence.

In the ending of "Crazy in Love", Anna and Jacob overcame all difficulties and finally obtained visas, and then Anna resigned without hesitation, rejected Simon's marriage proposal, and came to Los Angeles; Jacob also let Sam Moved out again to welcome Anna's arrival. The two lonely and tired figures were finally reunited again. They hugged each other tightly. Their persistence, their efforts, and their love finally overcame the constraints of time and space and came together.

That's how the movie ends. It seems like a happy ending.

But Renly knew that they would never go back. The broken reunion was just a continuation of the strangeness and alienation; the reluctant reunion was only the beginning of hurting each other. Just like Drake in real life.

Now, at this moment, Renly saw this ending in Felicity's eyes, and Felicity in Renly's eyes. They found Jacob and Anna in each other, felt the origin of love, and now they feel the end of love. In just two weeks, they have experienced ten years of vicissitudes, and the love that burst out in time The spark just dies.

Actor is really a very special profession, isn't it? They have never loved, but they have truly loved.

"Very well, there was no problem with this scene just now." Brian said hesitantly, and after getting Drake's nod, he gave his thumbs up, "Perfect!" Then he saw Drake He smiled brightly.

After hours of tossing and turning, Renly and Felicity finally entered the state, which was undoubtedly the greatest good news. However, the filming of this scene was still not completed, and they changed the angle and field of view to shoot again. The entire crew was busy until after ten o'clock in the evening, which was the end of the whole day's work.

Generally speaking, Hollywood also guarantees the working hours of actors. Every actor must work within eight hours a day. If it exceeds eight hours, he needs to negotiate with the actor and get a positive answer; similarly, at night Or during these abnormal working hours in the early morning, it is also necessary to complete the communication before the shooting starts.

However, the situation of "Crazy Love" is really special. With limited funds, they really count against every second. After obtaining the consent of the two actors, their daily work time limit exceeded 12 hours, and finally they were able to All shoots were done on schedule—and most importantly, without cost overruns.

Leaving the shooting venue, Felicity took the initiative to say hello to her colleagues on the crew, and then trotted all the way to the front. A man in the driver's seat stepped down, opened his arms, and gave Felicity a Big hug. Felicity buried herself in the man's arms, took a deep breath, and after a while, she breathed a sigh of relief, raised her head, and showed a shallow smile, "Let's go home."

"It looks like you're exhausted today." The man patted Felicity's head dotingly, then put his arms around Felicity's shoulders, escorted her to the passenger seat, and then went back to the driver's seat , got in the car, started, waved to the crew members, and finally walked away.

That was Felicity's boyfriend. After returning to London, he would come to pick her up on time every day. He never formally introduced himself to the crew, just nodding from a distance to say hello each time, remaining professional and objective enough not to disturb Felicity's workplace; nonetheless, everyone on the crew recognized him figure.

"Model boyfriend." Brian's voice rang from the side, and everyone immediately said, "Do you want to have a boyfriend too?" The atmosphere could not help but relax again.

Walking along the dark blue street, the lights of the silver-gray four-door sedan parked not far away lit up. Renly knew that it was his car. He waved goodbye to his colleagues in the crew, looked at Drake, who was completely speechless, pointed to his throat, motioned for him to have a good rest tonight, and then turned around and walked towards the car.

Matthew picked up his briefcase from the passenger seat, put away the legal documents he was reading, and put the briefcase on the back seat. All actions were orderly, and when Renly came over, he opened the door of the passenger seat, watched Renly sit in, and said with a smile, "I got off work twenty minutes earlier today, are you sure you can end all filming tomorrow? ?"

Renly shrugged, "My part is done." Tomorrow is Felicity's part, and she and Charlie Bray still have a few more scenes to wrap up, but they're not very difficult. "Today's work is completed, and the biggest difficulty is over. I can finally breathe a sigh of relief..."

Suddenly, Renly's voice disappeared. Matthew was looking to see if there was a car behind, but he was stunned. When he turned his head, he found that Renly was leaning on the back of the chair and had fallen asleep. One second he was chatting, and the next second he fell asleep, which made Matthew laugh dumbly and shook his head helplessly. It seems that today's work is very hard, and Renly has completely overdrawn.

He looked down to confirm that Renly had fastened his seat belt, and then saw a piece of art paper falling out of Renly's pocket, folded into a crumpled ball, and the paper was irregular, as if it had been torn from somewhere. of. Those who don't know, will definitely think this is waste paper, but Matthew knows Renly, and it is very likely that this is an important document. Typical Renly style.

Matthew spread out the waste paper to confirm whether it was waste paper or an important document, and then saw the familiar handwriting on it. Renly's scribbled and unrestrained font came into view, with only one line on the first line, "I firmly believe in it. ”, and then the second row is… Poetry

"In the night you declared the end of everything, but you were just lost in the darkness."

Matthew browsed slowly, and unconsciously, his body slowly leaned towards the back of the chair, and read it carefully and carefully. After reading it, he couldn't help but read it again.

Turning his head, looking at Renly's calm and peaceful face, Matthew carefully flattened the art paper, folded it into a square, and put it in his jacket pocket; then, he turned off the dim lights in the car and started the engine. , left the parking space.

The speed of the car was steady and uniform, and it was advancing in the darkness of the night without rushing.
