The entire production crew took a day off by coincidence, and when they started working again the next day, Lin Xi hesitated again and again, and decided to explain to Steven himself. Wearing a black close-fitting vest, Lin Xi had already put on makeup, and a thin, hideous scar was drawn on his right cheek. When he found Steven, he was directing the props crew, setting up one of the most important sets in the entire movie.
"Oh Lin, Mantes has already told me." Steven smiled and said to Lin Xi: "You guys have been hiding this, Lin, you really don't think of me, Steven, as a friend gone."
Even though he was old enough to be his own father, Steven spoke the words of a friend frankly, which made Lin Xi burst into laughter: "Steven, haven't you always been my friend?"
Steven smiled happily, and his plump lips opened in a big arc: "We have always been friends, Lin! However, you Chinese people are too conservative about this aspect! Before you see, our rice in Hollywood Shuai and Cooper of the Pear Company, when they came out, our enthusiastic Americans accepted and blessed them, what a noble and broad mind!"
Lin Xi raised his eyebrows lightly when he heard this, and said with a smile: Steven, if you had a long history of 5,000 years in the United States, believe me, you would never say these things to me. "
"..." Steven was choked back suddenly, and after a while, he complained in a low voice: "You Chinese people are so bad, you always bully our honest Americans!"
"Pfft." Hearing this, Lin Xi couldn't help chuckling.
I can't believe that Steven Beal, who was so serious on the stage of the Golden Edge Awards, could be such an interesting old urchin.
Lin Xi and Steven were talking, while the staff of the props team were quickly building the final scene. The overall background is a spacious and messy street, and some symbolic houses are only made of PVC plastic, which are placed on both sides of the studio, and the center of the whole studio is a large one that covers the entire wall. green screen.
This is the last scene that Lin Xi needs to shoot, and it is also the place where Moore finally died.
Before the film is shown, the crew will use CGI technology for post-editing processing, giving people a realistic visual experience of science fiction. And this premium visual experience, obviously... is extremely expensive. Of course, Steven has always been headstrong.
However, this is not only a test of the actor's acting skills, but also a test of the actor's imagination.
Lin Xi was also exposed to this shooting method for the first time. He and Uno did a lot of homework in advance just in case, but unexpectedly, it was finally approved by Steven after being NGed twice.
And this scene is the first climax of the whole movie.
-----------------
The chaotic streets are full of shockingly large holes destroyed by guns, the ground is still shaking, and a small black figure is galloping from the distant horizon. He carried a huge bazooka on his shoulders, but his body was like a swallow, and he stepped on the ground lightly.
In front of him were two men who were being chased and galloped. The man running ahead took the black-haired youth by the arm and led him to run away from this place at a faster pace.
"Ahem... Custer, I really... can't do it anymore." Moore said while reaching out to wipe away the spray of blood spurting from his lips.
But Castor replied loudly without looking back: "No, Mole! As long as he catches up with us, we will be in danger. Believe me, I can definitely take you away from here!"
"Caster... Listen to me. Cody has already been injected with the X reagent, and he has more actual combat experience than you. We have no chance of winning against him, and we can't escape together at all!" Moore He grabbed Custer's hand and led him into a secluded and dark alley beside him.
Custer was wondering, when he suddenly saw Moore pull out his silver HKP7, and said in a low voice, "Castor, you escape along this path. There are many alleys here, even if X reagent is injected, Cody It is also impossible to identify which alley you escaped from."
Castor was startled when he heard the words, and hurriedly asked: "What about you, Moore?"
As soon as the words fell, Castor stopped his voice. He stared blankly at the evil and handsome black-haired young man in front of him, only to see that the corner of the latter raised his lips to reveal a faint smile—it was his unique dangerous arc. But looking at it now... it made Custer feel extraordinarily warm and gentle.
"Caster, have you forgotten? I am the ace killer of the world's number one organization. Even if I can't defeat the opponent, I am still very sure of escaping."
"Cody was injected with Reagent X!"
Moore shook his head lightly, his delicate and handsome face was wet with sweat at some point. "I am from the Tian X Dynasty. Do you still remember the Huaxia Kung Fu that we Tian X Dynasty people are most proud of before the terrible plague?"
Castor asked suspiciously, "What do you mean?"
Moore smiled calmly and hooked his lips, showing a calm smile: "Trust me, Custer, you immediately find a place to hide, and I will go to you in less than ten minutes." After a pause, Moore He added: "Don't underestimate my ability to organize the number one killer. Custer, please give me a stage to show myself. I will let you know that before the plague, we were the pride of the heavenly people."
His eyes were full of undoubted indifference and calmness, and the upward curve of his lips carried a confident smile, which calmed down Custer's originally worried mood. He nodded vigorously, and was just about to turn around and leave without wasting any time, when Moore shouted loudly again: "Caster, do you still remember the content of the last assassination lesson I taught you?"
Custer's footsteps faltered, and he immediately recalled in his mind, but because the current situation was too tense and dangerous, his mind went blank, so he couldn't remember what the last class was about. But he looked at Moore's elegant and peaceful smile, but he couldn't say the answer.
"I remember."
Moore nodded slightly when he heard the words, and said with a smile: "Okay, you must not forget. This is the most important thing I can teach you." After a pause, he added: "I have never had the opportunity to give you a chance Demonstration, and today, you watched over there carefully, this is the most important ability of our killers."
Castor nodded in doubt, before he could speak, he suddenly saw the smile on Moore's lips, and he said, "Castor, I never told you, actually...my real name is also Moore. you."
…
It wasn't until Custer ran nearly a thousand meters away that he didn't understand the meaning of the last smile on Moore's pale and delicate face. And he didn't see that the moment he turned around, blood as red as manjusawa sprayed from Moore's lips, and wet most of his clothes.
Picking a high place to hide himself, Castor just turned around, intending to observe where Moore fled to. But the moment he turned around, he saw that vigorous, beautiful and delicate young man—
Stepped on the sole of the shoe by Cody!
Castor's eyes widened suddenly, he opened his mouth halfway, and before he could speak, he saw Cody raised the bazooka on his shoulder, and without hesitation gave the fragile young man the most fatal blow!
"… Well"
Moore!
Suddenly covering his mouth, Custer's eyes widened, but he couldn't stop the tears from rolling down from his eyes.
At this moment, he finally remembered that in the last lesson, the once cold-blooded and ruthless killer said this to himself-
『As killers, the most important thing is to deceive. Only by fooling yourself can you fool everyone. 』
--------------
When she heard the last "OK" from Steven's mouth, Lin Xi let out a heavy sigh of relief. He was lying on his back on the ground of the green screen background, and he hadn't recovered from the scene just now. Because the imagination is too deep, it is even more impossible to separate from the play.
Suddenly, a slender hand appeared in front of him. As soon as Lin Xi raised his eyes, he saw Uno looking at him with downcast eyes. His eyes were dark and he couldn't see any emotion. He froze for a moment, and quickly reacted. Holding this broad and warm hand, Lin Xi stood up abruptly from the ground.
"Thank you." With a soft thank you, Lin Xi patted her costume. When he looked up, he saw Uno looking at him worriedly with his dark eyes closed. He couldn't help asking strangely: "What's wrong?"
Uno shook his head slightly and sighed softly, "What happened just now?"
Lin Xi was startled when he heard the words, and immediately realized that the other party was referring to the fact that he had never got up and was lying on the ground. He shook his head with a smile, and said, "It's nothing, I just think... 'You can fool everyone only if you fool yourself'. What Moore said is quite right."
A trace of complicated emotions flashed across the handsome and elegant face, Uno lowered his eyes, but did not speak again.
The two walked to the camera team together, and at a glance they saw Steven sitting in front of the monitor, not knowing what he was looking at. Lin Xi stepped forward and looked at the scene on the monitor curiously, only to see that Uno was chatting with himself, and there was nothing unusual about it.
"Is this lens not good?" Lin Xi asked.
Only then did Steven discover the arrival of the two of them. The chunky blond man quickly waved his hand and said, "Oh no, Lin, don't get me wrong. Although I NG twice, this shot is perfect! It's just..."
Uno let out a cold snort from his nose, and looked at Steven expressionlessly: "Just what?"
Seeing Uno's face turning cold, Steven suddenly took half a step back in the chair for some reason. Swallowing his saliva, he whispered, "It's just... I didn't notice it before, now... look at the shots you took." Steven raised his finger and pointed to the camera. Seriously said: "It turns out that you, Mantes, looked at Lin with such affectionate eyes."
Uno: "..."
Lin Xi's face flushed instantly. No matter how thick-skinned he is, he can't face such Steven calmly! Should it be said that these foreigners are so extroverted and not reserved enough, they can actually say such teasing words with a serious face!
Lin Xi coughed twice, but couldn't help but secretly looked curiously at Castel, who was looking nervous and worried in the monitor. I saw that the other party's dark and blue pupils were filled with deep worry, but there was no trace of the so-called affection in Steven's mouth.
Steven obviously noticed Lin Xi's suspicious gaze, he immediately shook his head violently, and defended himself: "Lin, believe me! You really don't know Mantes well! I think I've been with him for nearly ten years. Years of friendship pledge, he is definitely... um..."
Uno suddenly picked up the director's script and covered Steven's chattering mouth.
Turning his head to look at Lin Xi calmly and calmly, a trace of embarrassment flashed in Uno's dark eyes: "He is too noisy."
Lin Xi: "..."
Steven: "QAQ"
In such a state of irony and laughter, Lin Xi finally finished shooting all the supplementary shots of "X Storm". And the whole movie ends here, it can be regarded as the end of the second filming. Because Steven has always asked the actors not to leave the group until he has reviewed all the shots, in case there will be reshoots, and coupled with the recent incidents in China, Lin Xi did not leave the United States immediately.
However, just as the wrap-up banquet was over and the group of people had just walked out of the hotel, Lin Xi's phone rang suddenly. He looked at the words "Ji Chengshu" displayed on the phone screen, and without any hesitation, he quickly pressed the answer button.
"Lin Xi! We found evidence in the hotel surveillance video." Before Lin Xi put the listening hole to his ear, he heard Ji Chengshu's joyful and excited voice coming from the small listening hole in the air. sounded.
Lin Xi was taken aback for a moment, and immediately asked: "Didn't it mean that none of the four cameras captured it? Why did I find it all of a sudden?"
He stopped walking all of a sudden, Lin Xi stood quietly on the street in a foreign country in the icy and solid air. He clenched the phone case tightly, listening to the voice on the other end of the phone pass through an ocean space and reach his ears.
The disturbing crowd didn't notice Lin Xi's sudden stop, but after a while, the large group of people walked across the street and disappeared in a blink of an eye. Only Uno was still closely following Lin Xi, watching him quietly, and did not interrupt the young man's phone call even after hearing important keywords.
After discussing with Ji Chengshu on the phone, Lin Xi hung up the phone. As soon as he looked up, he saw Uno staring at himself with a worried expression on his handsome brow. Those eyes are quiet and gentle, as vast and wide as the sea.
Lin Xi suddenly felt a stagnation in his throat, and it took him a while to recover. He couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips, shook the Lizi phone in his hand, and said with a smile: "A good news or a bad news, which one do you want to hear?"
Uno said without hesitation, "Bad news."
Lin Xi was slightly taken aback, as if he didn't expect the other party to make such a choice.
"The bad news is... the news of your participation in "Ying Ge Jue 2" has been revealed by Director Wu. Now, it has caused a huge sensation among movie fans and fans."
Uno breathed a sigh of relief: "What's the good news?"
The curvature of the lips was raised a little more, Lin Xi bent her elegant eyebrows, and said: "The good news is... Ji Chengshu found the decisive video recording, and the matter should be resolved in a few days." After a slight pause, Lin Xi endured I couldn't help but asked again: "Aren't you curious about how you found the evidence?"
On the narrow gray brick and stone sidewalks in the United States, because it was late at night, there were only a few pedestrians wrapped in heavy winter clothes, walking in the cold wind. At some point, tiny snowflakes began to float in the sky, spinning slowly in the air, and lightly landed on the young man's shiny black hair.
Uno's eyes lingered on the black and white matching colors for a moment. Hearing Lin Xi's impatient tone, he curled the corners of his lips and asked curiously, "How did you find it?"
"There are only some ambiguous pictures in all the surveillance videos, and there is no way to capture them clearly. But... I heard from Ji Chengshu that after Zhao Xian went back to watch the video, he actually found evidence from the shadow."
Two handsome and tall men strolled harmoniously on the street. Even though most of their faces were covered by hats, the cold and dignified temperament exuded from their bodies still separated them from the passers-by walking around them. . Under the light of the dim yellow street lamps on both sides of the road, the soft snow is like petals, flying and dancing in the air, which is very charming.
"The video shows that from the beginning to the end, from the beginning to the end, our shadows have been separated by a distance that cannot be ignored. Even... under the elongation of the light, the distance of a few centimeters has been enlarged a lot. So relying on The evidence of the shadow can directly prove that the photo was borrowed." While speaking, Lin Xi turned to look at Uno, and said with a smile: "How do you think Zhao Xian would think of such a place, even such a hidden place? The little things…”
His gaze suddenly touched Uno's deep and soft eyes, and Lin Xi's words stuck in his throat.
With a flash of inspiration in his mind, Lin Xi suddenly opened his eyes wide and exclaimed, "It's you?!"
Without denying it, Uno nodded lightly and said, "Yes."
After bowing his head in silence for a long time, Lin Xi pondered for a long time before sighing softly, "When did you watch the surveillance video?"
"From last night to this morning."
The pace under Lin Xi's feet stopped instantly, his palms were clenched tightly, and he turned around and asked, "So... since last night until now, you have actually never rested?" As soon as the words fell, he grabbed Ou Nuo's arms made this man, who had always been taciturn, look him in the face.
As soon as his eyes met the opponent's, Lin Xi froze in place.
It turned out that... I hadn't noticed it all the time, but those cold and dark pupils had already been covered with a few bright red bloodshots, and those beautiful phoenix eyes were also stained with some tired blue-black.
But this person... didn't show any signs of fatigue.
This is not just a matter of staying up all night without rest. This person also needs to carefully observe every detail in the four videos and think about how to find evidence. Lin Xi couldn't believe how this person could discover such a small detail, and how he survived the whole night under such low pixel conditions.
For some reason, there was a little heat in his eyes, Lin Xi only felt as if there was a huge stone in his heart, heavily suppressing his beating heart. It was obviously oppressing, but it made him feel that the heart was beating a little faster.
"Uno, I really feel... I'm not good enough for you."
