King of Hollywood

The dead leaves laid the ground, and the cool light poured down, leaving the quiet woods obviously even more desolate, as if nothing existed. The girl squatted on the ground, staring at the sky, and later turned back to her mother.

“Mom, look at me.” She cried out, gleaming in her eyes. However, the mentally disturbed middle-aged woman sitting behind her just looked at her in front of her and did not respond in the slightest. []

“Something happened, I don't know what to do.” The girl bowed her head and continued, but she quickly lifted up again and kept looking at her mother, "Can you help me this time, Mom? ”

However, her mother still did not respond, and the teenage girl's voice could not help but slightly increase: "Mom, look at me! ”

This time, the mother finally lowered her head, but her eyes were always blind.

“‘Teardrop’ persuaded me to sell this tree. Should I?” The girl asked in a trembling tone that a tear had finally slipped down her face.

Unfortunately, the mother continued to remain silent, and some of the previous responses were only conditional.

“Please, help me this time!” The sadness of being pressed under tremendous pressure and coming out of her young face, she shook her head down and shook: “I don't know what to do...”

Tears gushed again from the orbit, although silent, completely wetting the girl's face, leaving a clear mark.

“Good!” Adrian, who handled the mirror himself, called out at this point.

After a pause of about two or three seconds, the quiet scene suddenly buzzed and the lighter, the recorder and the prop with the reflector slackened. But Natalie, squatting on the ground, did not respond, still drooling her head down, not getting up half the time, and the actress sitting next to her, acting as the mother of the mentally ill, grabbed her hand softly.

A few more seconds later, Natalie recovered, looked up, smiled at the actress, rose to one side, and the wet marks on her face were still evident.

“Well done.” Adrian walked past. Pass the tissue in front of her and make a gesture to the assistant next to her.

Natalie didn't say anything. After wiping his eyes, the hot towel handed over by the assistant was covered on his face, so that his head rested on the chair for a long time before the outlet gas recovered.

“You're doing great, Natalie.” Adrian sitting next to me all the time repeated, “I'm glad you grabbed Ray? Dolly is the most important trait in this corner. ”

“Convergence.” Natalie replied with a steady voice.

“Yes. Convergence.” Adrian nodded with a praiseworthy look.

Although Matilda was equally restrained, she lit herself uncontrollably when she met Lyon, and Dory, the young girl who had to provoke the burden of life. is restrained from beginning to end. She was always resolute and ruthless, always grinning and whispering, so she wanted to express her emotions accurately. Then you have to work hard on the subtle changes in body language and expression in order for the horns to look weak and fierce.

And that's why Adrian, after some relatively ordinary shots, first took this shot of a mentally ill mother vomiting in the woods to keep her stress out of sight, instead of going to other people's homes one by one to find out where her father was. This will gradually give Natalie a better grasp of the temperament she needs. Anyway, the scenes and props needed for this movie are simple and easy to convert.

“In short, this restrained tenacity runs through the whole movie, and when you interpret it well, you interpret the whole horn,” he briefly said. Adrian said, “I can't give you any more guidance. Natalie, the rest is entirely up to you. ”

Natalie beamed at the conversation without signs, but she nodded immediately, and she was numb about Adrian's intelligent news.

“If you have time, you can talk to people who have research in this area, and maybe you can do better.” Adrian laughed and got up ready to leave.

Natalie had to open her mouth and seemed to want to ask something, but she hesitated and didn't say anything, but it all fell into Adrian's eyes.

“Isn't that what you want, Nada?” He suddenly lowered his voice and changed his name, "You don't want to leak in front of people, of course I'm going to alienate you, right? ”

He laughed again and quickly walked away. Although his eyes had been on him, Natalie had always restrained herself and had not shown any excess emotion on her face, not even small movements such as biting her lips, even though her heart had been blocked by that sentence.

She had requests, and naturally she should be met, and Adrian was willing to meet all her legitimate demands, such as making her look a little different from other women. It's not that hard, it's a good idea to distance yourself from a crew member like this, and many people know that he barely covers up his relationship with a woman in front of a crew member, who, although strictly in charge, occasionally leaks a hint of information.

This may not last forever, but a few years will be fine, and Natalie will cooperate if she still misses her thoughts. And more than that, Adrian has other arrangements, like...

“Missouri derives its name from the language of the Sioux people, meaning canoes. The Missouri and Mississippi rivers run through the west and east, respectively, and are perfectly contoured in their minds. Hundreds of years ago, the Indians rowed canoes down the river, fishing for fish from the river to prepare food for winter.” Standing by a tiny, pristine pond, Adrian said so to Jessica around him.

“If you want, we can come here next summer and try to practice canoeing.” He continued, reaching out and plundering the girl's hair.

Jessica laughed, then opened her arms and took a deep breath: "It's so cold in here, even the air is so cold. ”

Indeed, Missouri's coldest hour is January, when it's only about 25 degrees Fahrenheit (-4 degrees Fahrenheit), and even though temperatures rose a lot in March, how high can Missouri's average temperature be around 60 degrees Fahrenheit (15 degrees Fahrenheit)? Of course, in two months, the temperature will rise back to the level it should have been in the summer, and it is the right thing for all Adrians to choose to make winter bones first.

“Didn't it make you remember anything?” Adrian picked the eyebrows with some surprise. “I remember you lived in Mississippi before you were four. ”

“The city of Biloxi is a port city and is located in the Gulf of Mexico. Winter is not so cold.” Jessica shrugged.

“Okay," Adrian laughed, "forget it, they're ready, I'm coming over. ”

He pointed to the other side of the pond. The prop crew has prepared a boat to film the heroine sawing her hands off the body of her father, who sank into the pond, led by several middle-aged women. By taking the sawed hands to the police station, he proved that his father had been murdered, thereby preserving his house.

“I'll walk you to Kansas City after work. Okay?” He said, and then he pulled over, and Jessica shrunk her neck. But I kissed him.

The shooting went well, Natalie. The diagonal was well controlled. She was almost with Ray? Dory blends together as an actor known as the "Teardrop” actress, the father's brother, John? Hucks couldn't stop talking to her either.

“It's hard to imagine. A girl who grew up in a metropolitan city like New York, she played the subdued wildness of a country girl.” That's what the old actor from Minnesota said.

Indeed, the calm and even ruthless appearance of Natalie, who had a bloody face and confronted a group of dangerous adults, was very impressive when she was filming the scene of the beating. Matilda, who was also nosebleed from being beaten, felt stubborn and weak. But Dory, who was struck out of a tooth, was carrying a strong and resilient rooted in the bone marrow. For people like Hucks who grow up in the hinterland, the feeling of this kind of temperament is very sensitive. They all compliment Natalie, but wonder how much she's doing.

As Hucks said, it's really a wonderful thing for a girl growing up in a big city to act like this. Adrian didn't pay too much attention to this, and Natalie was able to do it for a number of more complicated reasons besides his array of arrangements to constantly sharpen her shooting schedule and her own efforts.

“What a strong girl, and I'd love to play that horn.” Jessica, who read the script, said with some emotion and envy.

Although the vibrant and likeable appearance of her personality had converged a lot because of her pregnancy, and because of her being so young, Dakota loved her and chatted with her the most except Adrian. And, of course, thanks to Jessica's belly, which is not obvious, and Adrian's kind of undisguised intimacy.

He did not hide from displaying his relationship with Jessica in front of the script members, and often embraced Jessica in front of Natalie. Everyone who worked with Adrian knew that every time he made a movie, either he had a relationship with the lead actress or the woman he had a relationship with would come to the show group, so it would be appropriate to use this method to clear up his relationship with Natalie. After all, everyone knows that he has a tight external blockade in this area, but the crew is casual. How many people would expect him to do the same in the crew after getting used to it?

But besides that, don't look at Natalie as if she doesn't care, but you can deduce her psychological state from her little movements and part of the tone of the conversation. Although she is smart, and although she is still quite resistant to herself, women are so strange in this regard, even if she knows it herself, she still cannot resist some subconscious behavior, which is the interesting part.

Jessica didn't stay long, and Adrian spent three days playing around Kansas City before returning to Los Angeles. In another month, her belly would be obvious, and it would be better to move out of Los Angeles County and gradually reduce the number of trips home, so it would be appropriate to let her out now and Adrian would have promised to invite her to the Missouri studio.

Unfortunately, the second season of the late Black Angel is over. Otherwise, it would be nice to let her stay in Canada for a few months. It's not possible to buy another house in Orange County.

As for what happens next, Adrian has nothing to worry about, even Mark? Alba soldiers are also Catholic in origin and can only be admitted to the fact that it is done. And he has a lot of very flexible tools. But Jessica's going to be in trouble. Like Ray? A horn like Dory is almost impossible. In a way, like Liv, she's perfect for a vase.

Besides, if you can't do it, take the romantic comedy route. Though such comedy starts off modest after 00 years, it's not without good work. Adrian thinks so.

The shooting continues as Natalie stays in shape and progresses fairly quickly. Adrian estimated that if you keep doing this, you can even finish all the shots in five weeks. After all, the whole story is actually very simple, and the key is the interpretation of the actress and how to capture the details that fully illustrate the theme, coupled with Adrian's wealth of experience, making it possible to shorten the cycle.

So, start shooting the second weekend. Adrian flew back to Los Angeles with Dakota and her mother, who had finished her play.

“Okay, Mom, I'm leaving, or I'll be late.” Sarah greeted her mother as she packed her things.

“Aren't you going to dinner at home? Sarah?” The head of a middle-aged man was stretched out in the kitchen, "I made my specialty dish. ”

Ronnie, there's a party I have to attend. ”Sarah shrugged with a smile.

“That's a shame.” A middle-aged man named Ronnie sighed.

“Next time, I promise to have dinner at home.” Sarah said to apologize to Mom again: "Sorry, Mom, I should have stayed with you. ”

“It's okay, you have your own work and life.” Roseland smiled and sent her daughter to the door.

“Ronnie's a good man. You'll be happy with him, Mom.” Sarah and her mother hugged one.

Over the years, Roseland's been crossing paths with a few men, but not for long, until he met Ronnie? Raymond has stabilized. He's a doctor and cares about people.

“Yes, I know.” Speaking of his current boyfriend, Roseland smiled, but quickly put it away again, hesitated and stared at his daughter and said, “What about you, Sarah? ”

“Me?” Sarah shrugged as if it didn't matter. “I don't have to rush, Mom, I'm in the upswing of my career...”

But Roseland interrupted her words: "You're dating Adrian, right? ”

Saraton lost his voice and looked at his mother in panic, not knowing what to say.

“I'm not a fool, Sarah, I knew it all along, not to mention the rumors about Adrian,” Roseland sighed, "I never broke it, I wanted to see you happy after the show, I'm glad to see you become an actor, Sarah, you're my greatest pride, but I don't want you to... so I know that man helped me a lot, but...”

“No, Mama,” Sarah interrupted Mama this time, “not like that. I love him, Mama, I love Ed. ”

She looked her mother in the eye: “I know it might be a little strange to say this, and in fact sometimes I find it strange to think about it, but... I just love him, Mom. Ed gave me... something I'd never had before, that warm, safe... feeling I'd never had before... sorry, Mom, but I really loved him. ”

Roseland was not talking, stared at her daughter and sighed.

“I just want you to be happy, honey,” she said, "promise me you won't hurt yourself, okay? ”

“I promise you, Mama, don't worry,” Sarah hugged Mama, "I love you. ”

The mother and daughter hugged each other for a moment and then Sarah got in her car and waved goodbye to her mother.

Sarah felt relaxed for a while, knowing that Mama must have known, but speaking in person was a little awkward and awkward. Fortunately, her mother had no support, but she had no objections, making her happy and full of anticipation for the next party.

The party was hosted by Sarah, and naturally it was at her home, inviting a lot of friends, and the members of the Buffy the Vampire Hunter crew were one, and the invitation to someone was sent out early and received a positive answer.

“Excuse me for a moment.” Say hello to the friends around you, Sarah, and walk away. The party was lively and she was very happy, just that some guy who promised to attend never showed up, which made her a little angry and worried. After all, this guy never broke his appointment and was late, but just now she took a look outside, seemed to see the familiar figure pass by, it had been a long time since she had come to greet each other, she couldn't help but look for the past.

Then, walking around the aisle, Sarah didn't notice a thing, looked around, listened to the sound of joy outside, she couldn't help but be a little exasperated, did she see it wrong?

Sarah then turned around and walked back. As she passed through a room, the door suddenly opened, reaching out two hands from inside, one covering her mouth and one holding her waist, instantly dragging her in.

“Ha, Buffy? Miss Ann Somers, you're in my hands now.” After pressing her against the wall, she grinned with a low voice.

Despite the darkness in the room, Sarah's tight body relaxed and punched her under each other's ribs, complaining in a groan: "Ed!”..
