732 on the road again

Today's second update, please recommend, please subscribe!

Kansas is one of the seven states in the central part of the United States. It is located in the very center of the continental United States. The entire state area is rectangular except for a slight bend in the state boundary near the Missouri River in the northeast corner. The terrain of Kansas is flat and gradually increases from east to west. It belongs to the North American prairie.

Perhaps because Kansas is located in the middle of the United States, with no access to the open seas, it is different from the prosperity of the coastal waters. It has always been called the deserted heart of the United States. The silence and boredom are enough to bury everything. This has also created Kansas's reputation as a conservative pioneer.

The conservative Christian evangelical denominations in Kansas have long been well-known for their efforts to oppose Darwin's theory of evolution. The Kansas State Board of Education even voted down in 1999 to reject the item in the syllabus that "primary and middle school students must understand Darwin's theory of evolution", although in 2001 because of Intense pressure from all quarters to rescind the resolution did not stop Kansas from going down the conservative path. The current attitude in Kansas on the education curriculum is generally - in a more euphemistic way to avoid direct conflict with scientists - Darwin's theory of evolution is only a theory, not a fact, it needs to be confirmed by more evidence; we Any theory should be treated equally to foster open minds in students, and students should be allowed to accept a variety of different theories in the classroom, and they should be free to choose which theory they should accept.

But in fact, in order to avoid being restricted by the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution and to cover up its relationship with Christianity, Kansas has been trying its best to change its face and revise the content related to the "Bible" in creation science. Kansas is as conservative and stubborn as their ultra-conservative tea stall organization, the Patriot Liberty League, has always been the most conservative state in the country, and the foundation of the conservative party is rock solid here. This is a land so conservative and dull that all creativity, all passion, all vitality is buried.

The filming location of "Mysterious Skin" was chosen in Kansas, the deserted heart of the United States.

Hutchinson (n) is a small town in southwest Kansas, thirty-nine miles from the nearest city, Wichita (ta). This is a barren town with a population of less than 40,000 people on 22 square miles (about 58 square kilometers) of land. Looking out from the center of the town, there are large tracts of wheat fields, but they are deserted. .

Hutchinson was chosen for filming, Evan Bell got the consent of Scott Heim, and Kansas was chosen as the location of the story in the original novel of "Mysterious Skin", which was good for the crew. . Because the price of renting a venue in Hutchinson for one month, if you put it in New York, it is only enough for three days of shooting, which is even several times cheaper than Charleston.

Evan Bell came to Hutchinson on a road trip in his old red Chevrolet truck, passing through Kansas on his coast-to-coast American-style road trip, but Evan-- Bell was passing through the state capital, Topeka, and had not approached Hutchinson.

Ryan Gosling and Joseph Gordon-Levitt were with Evan Bell on this road trip. Neither Teddy Bell nor Eden Hudson came. Eleven was missing David. - Greenblatt is already struggling, Evan Bell needs to devote himself to the shooting of "mysterious skin" again, and the two of them can no longer get out. Fortunately, with the filming experience of "Love Notebook", Evan Bell is already familiar with the job as a producer and director this time, so even without an assistant, he can also be very good. Handle every link.

Evan Bell leaned against the door of the red truck and filled the truck's gas tank with a fuel gun in his right hand. Looking back and forth, the area around the gas station is really deserted. It is only February now, but the bright sun shines on the asphalt road, which makes people feel very hot. The grasslands on both sides of the road spread out in sight, but the withered yellow color is really not spectacular, but it makes people feel dead.

Leaving the hustle and bustle of the city, walking along the interstate highway in the heat and cold, shuttling in the noise and loneliness, galloping in the green and desolate, and seeing the crowded pictures of Manhattan, New York, I suddenly came to this empty space. In the wild, the whole person suddenly opened up. Road trips, no matter when you experience them, are a great way to travel.

"Why is it pizza again, for God's sake, can it be replaced with a hamburger?" Joseph Gordon-Levitt muttered from the direction of the convenience store inside the gas station.

"You should be lucky, we at least still have pizza to eat." Ryan Gosling walked out with two bags of snacks. You don't have to look to know that there are probably all kinds of candies inside.

Ryan Gosling took the bag and put it on the passenger seat, "Going to the toilet?" Evan Bell and Joseph Gordon-Levitt both shook their heads, and Ryan Gosling went directly to it alone. Walked in the direction of the bathroom.

Joseph Gordon-Levitt took the pizza out of the bag and started nibbling, "Would you like me to drive it this afternoon?"

Evan Bell turned around and rummaged for food in the passenger seat, and finally picked up a piece of pizza and shoved it directly into his mouth, "I'll call you when I'm tired." The charm of road trips lies in enjoying the scenery along the way, including windy meals and sleepovers, Compared to other forms of travel, road trips are more in-depth, free, and more enjoyable, and, of course, more laborious. Every time I see a gas station, I not only have to refuel and supply the car, but also refuel and supply myself. It is a good choice to eat, go to the toilet, or even sit down to rest and chat for a while.

Before that, Joseph Gordon-Levitt had been thinking about road trips, including Ryan Gosling. This time, as soon as they heard that Evan Bell was going to travel all the way to Hutchinson, as the two stars of "Mysterious Skin", they clamored to embark on the journey with Evan Bell. Just now, on this road trip, he also experienced Joseph Gordon-Levitt's 23rd birthday. Since it was a small birthday, he didn't plan to celebrate it specifically, so he regarded the road trip as a birthday party. Along the way, the three of them did not deliberately hurry, but they relaxed and thoroughly enjoyed it. They drove the car for a day yesterday, and it is estimated that they will be able to arrive in the evening today.

"When will the cast and crew arrive? Will we be late?" Although Joseph Gordon-Levitt said he was tired of pizza just now, he still ate it deliciously. Originally, if you want to enjoy food, road trips are not the best choice.

"The reporting time I set is the day after tomorrow, and the crew has been there for the first two days. There is no problem with the timing." Although Evan Bell is only a director for the second time, he has two production experience before. , The arrangement for this work has already started. Even without David Greenblatt's assistance, it's a no-brainer to organize now.

Joseph Gordon-Levitt opened the Coke and took a gulp, burping contentedly after drinking it. Evan Bell waved at him, "Give me a sip." Joseph Gordon-Levitt directly picked up the Coke and poured it into Evan Bell's mouth. Coke came out of Evan Bell's mouth. Evan Bell hurriedly lowered his head and took a step back to prevent Coke from getting on his clothes.

As soon as Ryan Gosling came out, he saw two people laughing in a hurry. In this quiet gas station, the voices of two people echoed recklessly.

Evan Bell picked up a tissue and wiped it. Although the corners of his mouth and collar were slightly stained, it was not much better, otherwise the coke would be sticky after evaporating, and he would have to go to the bathroom to wash it. Joseph Gordon-Levitt held up a Coke and gestured to Ryan Gosling, who hurriedly shook his head, "I'd better do it myself, look at your posture, the whole bottle of Coke will be on me in a while. Down." Seeing his nervous look immediately made Joseph Gordon-Levitt smile even happier.

After the gas station was resupplied, the group of three got into the car again. Evan Bell was sitting in the driver's seat, about to start the car, when he saw Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Ryan Gosling dividing jelly beans, he suddenly thought of something, and asked casually, "Joe ( e, Joseph Seph's nickname), which company do you have a brokerage appointment with now? Do you want to come to Eleven Brokerage?"

Joseph Gordon-Levitt didn't lift his head, counted the jelly beans, and returned directly, "I don't have an agent right now, okay, give me the contract tonight." Then he turned to Egypt with the jelly beans. Vin Bell, "Open your mouth." Then he threw the jelly beans into Evan Bell's mouth. It was as if the topic just now was just a topic about the delicious pizza for lunch.

Ryan Gosling chewed on the jelly beans and laughed, "Joe was mumbling to me just now, why did I even join the Eleventh Agent, but you didn't invite him."

Evan Bell smiled and said to Joseph Gordon-Levitt, "I always thought you had an agency." Unlike Ryan Gosling, who was born as a child star , but his days at Disney were not very good, so after he came out, there was no agent to work hard. And Joseph Gordon-Levitt was already popular all over the United States when he filmed "The Comedian Hits the Earth", so he has always had an agent to help with the work.

"When I was in my second semester at Columbia University, I fired my agent." Joseph Gordon-Levitt said casually, "I don't think any agency would want me because of my nature. Your company is a jerk."

Evan Bell started the car, "Then your taking on 'Mysterious Skin' this time is a job introduced by the eleventh agent, and I will take a cut."

"You vampire, just give me such a little salary and take a cut!"

"No, Joe, don't pinch me, I'm driving, I'm driving..."

"Ha ha ha ha…"
