The Greatest Showman - Chapter 221

[220 Nothing But Three Things]

Jennifer Lawrence knew that she was going to be late, and there were less than two minutes left before the agreed time. She strode forward, walked through the door, looked left and right, and then found Drake’s side. The iconic instant noodle roll, before it had time to walk up, the figure of a man strode forward in the car, which made Jennifer have to take out the momentum of racing and chase after him. ?

In the middle of the two figures, Jennifer stood on tiptoe and tried to say hello to Drake, but it was another face that caught her eye, looking at the familiar and unfamiliar gentleman, her eyes were completely rounded. When he got up, his brain, which had been deprived of oxygen because of the rush, actually crashed for a while, and the unbelievable shock appeared without any cover up. Shackles, “…why are you here?” I

never thought that I would meet Renly here!

Jennifer’s lively expression did not look like a lady at all, but there was a kind of frankness and frankness. Renly’s mouth couldn’t help rising, and he picked up the quilt on the table and raised it, “Drink black tea.” Then he put the cup away. When I put it in my mouth, I really started to taste it carefully.

This kind of answer was really awkward, but she wanted to refute but couldn’t get started. Jennifer stuck it in her throat in one breath. The kind of suffocation was really helpless. She couldn’t help showing a wry smile and said angrily, “You know that’s not what I meant.” The straight-forward style still hasn’t changed. “I went to see Heather the day before yesterday, and she didn’t mention your new move.”

Before Renly could answer, Drake, who was sitting next to him, sat up straight, “What? You know each other?”

“Yes.”

” No.” The

first sentence was said by Renly, and the second sentence was said by Jennifer. The two people’s inconsistent answers made each other’s eyes fall on each other. Jennifer shrugged innocently and said generously, “It really doesn’t count as acquaintance. .”

“We’ve met twice, but we’re not friends,” Renly concluded without arguing.

Jennifer spread her hands, with a look of “Look, I’m not wrong”, which made Renly chuckle.

Drake’s gaze went back and forth between Renly and Jennifer for a few rounds, and then he also showed a big smile, “It seems that your cooperation does not need to cultivate tacit understanding.”

“What?” Just now Running all the way, and then accidentally saw Renly again, the brain didn’t have time to think, and Jennifer couldn’t help but blurt out when she heard Drake’s words.

Drake stood up, without the pretense of a director, and introduced the four people.

That tall and thin boy is called Charlie-Bray1ie-be1ey), he is a British actor, who has appeared in the “Twilight” series, this time will play Simon, or Anna in “Crazy Love” Later boyfriend in London; Jennifer Lawrence will play Sam, Jacob’s later live-in girlfriend in Los Angeles.

After the introduction, Drake looked left and right, and suddenly turned his attention to Renly, “Are you also British?” So did Felicity and Charlie. There are three British among the four leading actors in a crew. , but in the script, Jacob’s setting is American because Drake is himself.

“Is there a problem?” Renly had switched to the Los Angeles accent.

In comparison, the accent characteristics of a big city like Los Angeles are not very obvious, because too many ethnic groups and cultures are mixed, and different backgrounds and backgrounds will be slightly different, so it is more difficult to imitate; but at the same time, the requirements are relatively low, there is no one Accurate template. Renly borrowed from Drake’s own voice, the voice of the elite in Orange County.

Drake’s previous impression of Renly was always the central accent in “Buried Alive”, but now he suddenly changed, and he was a little uncomfortable for a while, he was stunned, he laughed, “No problem, no problem at all .” Then Drake greeted everyone to sit down, “Thank you for your willingness to join the ‘Crazy Love’ crew, I hope we can work together happily in the next period of time! To be honest, I can’t wait to get ready to work now.”

Jennifer sat down beside Renly, she actually forgot that Renly was an actor or, to be more precise, she remembered that Renly was an actor, but did not expect the two of them to have the opportunity to work together, And also a rival actor.

In “Crazy In Love”, Sam only had an opposite scene with Jacob, Drake didn’t arrange for bloodshed, Sam didn’t confront Anna head-on, and of course, neither did Jacob and Simon. In fact, Renly will be Jennifer’s only partner in this film.

The twist of the story, even now, still feels incredible to Jennifer. The first time we met at the airport started with a misunderstanding, and the first impression was terrible; the second time we met at the hospital, although the misunderstanding was solved, the meeting place itself was very strange, not to mention the two people’s mutual friend Heather , is still a special patient, this situation seems to be a bit weird; the third time the crew met, the two actually had to play each other face-to-face, and they were still lovers. This is definitely not the normal line of ordinary friends.

So, she was right, they were not friends.

“Why aren’t you surprised to see me at all?” Jennifer tilted her body, facing Renly, her face full of curiosity.

“Why are you surprised?” Renly’s rhetorical question made Jennifer choke, “You are an actor, I am an actor, and we are about the same age. Hollywood is a much smaller circle than you think, working together on the same work, this It’s not unusual.” He couldn’t say that the role of Sam in the last life was played by Jennifer, so he was really not surprised at all.

“But…” Jennifer wanted to retort.

Renly went on to say, “I’m more curious, why are you willing to take this script?”

At this time, Jennifer is no longer unknown. In “Burning Plain” in 208, she got the opportunity to cooperate with Charlize Theron and Kim Basinger, and the film successfully appeared at the 6 Venice Film Festival. She also won a newcomer award for Jennifer, and she started even better than Renly now; then she became the heroine, starring in “Winter’s Bone”, famous at Sundance, and successively starred in ” “Beaver” and “Men: First Class”, the former is a collaboration with two big names, Jodie Foster and Mel Gibson.

In other words, it is indeed a very surprising choice to play the second female lead in “Crazy Love”.

“I like this script.” Jennifer gave her own answer without any hesitation, “but I’m not suitable for the role of Anna, Anna is too gentle. Sam is another look, she is strong, and She is strong, but she restrained all her thorns for love, and waited for Jacob willingly. She knew that she was stupid, and she also knew that she should not do it, but in the face of love, she would still choose Moths to the flames. At this point, she and Jacob are actually the same kind of person, which is why she has never been able to extricate herself. Unfortunately, it is not her that Jacob is desperate for.”

Speaking of which, Jennifer After pausing for a moment, he tucked his head behind his ears, and the arc of his profile revealed a hint of inadvertent fragility, “This is the most helpless aspect of love.”

Renly looked at Jennifer unexpectedly, and then fell into deep thought.

The role of Sam is actually not much in the movie. There are only three or four acts in total, and the role of the role is very limited. However, Jennifer’s interpretation has endowed the characters with more profound things, just like Jacob and Anna, even if there is a moth to the flame, even if they are deeply in love, the distance between time and space still makes The two cannot come together.

And Sam and Jacob show another side of love. After the estrangement between time and space is eliminated, the long-term and persistent company and the unrepentant dedication, after the lack of a strong chemical reaction, the wishful efforts and persistence, after all, miss each other.

Undoubtedly, this gives the theme of “Love Crazy” more things to think about.

Before that, his understanding was still too one-sided.

He knew that Jennifer was a very spiritual and talented actor. Later, she won the Oscar at a young age and became the second youngest actress in film history. She was known as a new generation of academy darlings. However, before today, this understanding was still on the movie screen, not real enough or appropriate enough. Now, feeling Jennifer’s interpretation of the character, preparation for the performance, and enthusiasm for the work has really impressed Renly.

Especially when her career is booming, she is still willing to play small roles in independent films, which is really rare.

In the last life, the roles of Anton and Jennifer did not see such profound and complicated things. Although Jennifer’s performance was good, it was far from amazing. Now it seems that Anton’s shortcomings in the performance are still a drag on the overall quality. “Love Crazy” finally showed a lack of completion, which is bound to be one of the reasons.

I don’t know, this time he and Jennifer play against each other, what will the result be. Renly began to get excited. Only by constantly challenging the real powerhouse can he continue to improve and make breakthroughs. The confrontation with talented actors makes people excited.

“What about you? Why are you interested in this script?” Jennifer retracted her thoughts, her eyes brightened, and she looked at Renly with a gleam of brilliance, and threw the same question away.

Renly reached out and gestured to Jennifer, “Like you, I like this script.” This action made the corner of Jennifer’s mouth smile, “I think this role is a very interesting challenge. Jacob’s show It is the most real topic of love, is love a momentary spark, or a long-term companionship?”

Jennifer gave a meaningful “um”, and then asked casually, “What do you think? Which one should it be?” 8
