Chapter 223

Jennifer looked at the bright and light smile at the corner of lanli's mouth, just like the flower that blooms when she meets the first spring breeze. In a flash, the splendor adds a touch of light to the whole world. The bright eyes narrowed into a thin line because of the happy smile. The faint light reveals the joy after the prank, and the sly and proud look is like a child.

This reminds Jennifer of the last time she was in Mount Sinai Hospital, blue Li with a kite in her hand. Peacetime has always been mature and prudent, polite gentleman is quite different, that simple, pure, clean smile, like a child, five-year-old children, sunshine, beautiful, simple.

Drake and others also laughed lightly at lanli's banter. Although they didn't understand what had just happened, the banter and irony in the words really made people laugh.

Jennifer tugged at the corners of her mouth and began to laugh with everyone, but the laughter was a little dry. She was embarrassed to drop her eyes and avoid the bright smile. There was a heart thumping sound in her chest, jumping like a fawn. The strange feeling made her fingertips sweat a little.

Just now, Lan Li was just demonstrating. However, she was like a high school student who had never seen the world. She was so flustered that she didn't know what to do. No, she was a high school student. Thinking of this, the ridiculous, funny, shy and speechless smile rang from the bottom of her throat. The fleeting throb made her feel more funny the more she thought about it. After all, she couldn't help laughing and joined the crowd - though it was a slow beat.

After the laughter subsided slightly, Jennifer said abruptly, "a smile like a child."

"What?" Drake, they don't know, so they ask with question marks.

Jennifer turned her head and looked over. "Just now, Langley asked me why Sam really likes Jacob. I said, with a childlike smile." Then Jennifer looked back at lanli, stopped for a moment, and said, "and the lingering melancholy between my eyebrows, which makes me always want to reach out and smooth, and then... See that child like smile again."

As she said this, she raised her right hand, and under the astonished gaze of the crowd, her slender fingertip reached out to lanli's eyebrows, as if she wanted to smooth the slight wrinkles with her fingertip.

Lan Li didn't really adapt. Subconsciously, he leaned back, away from the fingertips.

But it was such a small, conditioned response that the air froze for a moment, and then Jennifer closed her fingertips, looked up and burst out laughing, "ha ha ha Looking at Lan Li's calm expression, he was so happy that he burst out laughing with his stomach in his arms.

Prank to prank, Jennifer also took revenge.

When lanli saw that Jennifer's fingertips were closed, he had already reacted. When he thought about it carefully, that kind of absurd Joy came into being. Then he saw that there was no burden, no cover up, no image of Jennie's laughing. Lanli's mouth could not help but rise and laugh.

This time, Drake didn't join us. Looking at lanli and Jennifer laughing at each other with helpless expression, Felicity couldn't help chuckling. She felt that the scene was too happy, but she was not sure whether her laughter would be too impolite, so she controlled it a little.

"Hey, hey, you two." Drake didn't hold back. He waved and stopped the two people in front of him. "You two! Lanli, you should communicate with felicity, and then brew a spark. She is your lover, your wife. "

This is a typical director's perspective. They almost know nothing about the tacit understanding and running in between the actors. They just make up according to their own ideas. There are few directors who know how to train the actors like William Wyler.

Hearing the director's words, the four actors all chuckled, and Jennifer muttered directly, "when's the wedding?"

Drake just used the real names of the two actors, not Jacob and Anna; But generally speaking, in order to distinguish reality from drama, actors are very concerned about whether they use the characters' names in the script. Of course, commercial popcorn movies do not have such a need.

Once again, Jennifer's banter made the actors laugh more happily.

Lanli's eyes fell on felicity. He nodded in a friendly way. Felicity also nodded in reply. Then he looked at the director who didn't know why, "Drake, in the movie, Anna and I never knew each other, from recognition to love, from love to each other. This process of exploration requires us to keep a certain distance, which is good for the performance. "

In other words, it is to cultivate feelings according to the shooting process of the film, so that the reality and the film can be synchronized. However, this method is not universally applicable. If the film is shot by disrupting the timeline, it will not work.

After that, lenley looked back at felicity, "what we need now is not sparks, but tacit understanding."

Langley has found some feeling of Jacob. Just as Drake said, Jacob likes Anna's eyes. It happens that felicity also has a pair of moving eyes.

This is the first formal communication between lanli and felicity after today's meeting. Although it's just eye contact, Felicity can read the deep meaning in lanli's eyes at once. She also nodded in affirmation, "I agree with Jennifer's point of view, smile."

Drake obviously didn't keep up with the rhythm, and Charlie was a little confused, but Langley, Jennifer and felicity exchanged their eyes, but they showed a clear look. What felicity said is that the shining point of Anna's love for Jacob is her smile.

But Anna and Sam are obviously different. Sam saw a smile in his heartbreak; What Anna saw was a bright smile without any reservation, a carefree, shy, ignorant, gentle and restrained smile.

Lan Li spread out his hands, a helpless expression, "it seems that I have to try to reduce the smile, otherwise there are too many people following behind, which is also a kind of trouble." The complacent appearance with a trace of childish mischief made both Jennifer and felicity laugh. The two women exchanged a sight, and then Qi Qi showed a look of disdain to Lan Li, which made the atmosphere more joyful.

Drake and Charley sat beside, blank and sad.

Lanli has gained a lot today. In fact, Drake's plays are missing. They lack Anna's psychological foreshadowing and the two roles of Sam and Simon. In other words, Drake mostly talks about himself, that is, Jacob's psychology. Then, from his point of view, from the experience of that broken marriage, and from some conversations with his ex-wife, To outline the whole story.

Lenley believes that Drake must have had a long talk with his ex-wife, so the film's description of Anna is also very detailed. However, for lanli, he lacks the two pieces of jigsaw puzzle of himself in Anna's eyes and himself in Sam's eyes. Now through dialogue and communication, he can make up for the jigsaw puzzle, which is very important for the construction of the role.

"So, what's our next plan?" After the joke, Lan Li took the initiative to put the topic back on the work, "when do we start shooting?"

"This afternoon." Drake gave a crisp answer. The independent crew did not have too much preparation work, nor too many cumbersome procedures. They could directly put into shooting anytime and anywhere. "We would first complete part of the shooting in Los Angeles, then go to London, and then return to Los Angeles for the final finale. You don't have to go to London with us if you're going to finish shooting Jennifer's part all at once; As for Charlie, it depends on your own arrangement. If you want to stay here and go to London with us, or if you want to go back to see your family ahead of time and wait for our meeting, it's OK. "

"Why?" The question was asked by felicity, who showed a puzzled look. "Can't we finish shooting in Los Angeles and then go to London to shoot? Or upside down? "

"The ending contains the vicissitudes brought about by the whole time wasted. If we shoot here in one go, on the one hand, I am worried that it will be difficult for you to get into the mood. Of course, as a director, I may not be careful enough to capture these delicate scenes; On the other hand, after going to London for shooting, these emotions may also affect your performance. The toss of time against the current is more or less influential. I will follow the development of time clues as much as possible to complete the shooting. "

Drake explained the whole story very carefully, and the actors all nodded slightly to make clear, "so, what's the problem?"

Drake's eyes fell one by one on the four actors in front of him. Everyone didn't ask questions. Everyone exchanged their eyes and all of them showed a smile! Let's get ready to work now! I've been waiting for this day for a long time. Now I'm waiting for lanli to join us. I can't wait to start work! "

With that, Drake stood up, rubbing his hands, as if ready to roll up his sleeves at any time.

Charlie was going to stand up, but he looked at the three colleagues beside him. They all sat down on Mount Tai. He hesitated for a moment, but he still didn't stand up. Then he heard lanli's voice ring with a faint smile, "Drake, aren't you going to start work after lunch? Or is our first scene today going to be a meal? "

Jacob and Anna's first date was to meet in a coffee shop, which was barely a meal scene.

Drake was stunned, then he responded, scratched his head and laughed, "eat first, eat first, of course. I'm starving. " He quickly sat down again.
