  Chapter 200 Emotional separation in romance films, self-deceiving true love

  Of course, even if the two parties have found out the bottom line of the other side, they have no intention of breaking it.

Kate doesn't want to choose between her acting career that she has insisted on for more than ten years and the boy she fell in love with six years ago; can pass.

  The two guys are like tortoises, neither of them dare to take the lead in breaking the current status quo.

  Because they both feel that the current state is the most comfortable and most suitable.

  No one wants to destroy everything with their own hands, and everyone hopes to stay in this gentle hometown of vanity forever.

   It is with this ostrich mentality that they cherish the present, and even the performance is wrapped in a dreamy atmosphere.

  ...

   Bow, deck.

  The boy in a black coat is lying on the railing, the oncoming sea breeze blew his hair away, the loose eyes facing the sea, coupled with the wooden disappointed face, fully interpret the word broken love.

   And just as he blinked his eyes mechanically, losing his soul like a walking dead, a call suddenly came from behind.

   "Hello, Jack."

Although the tone was flat, no different from the greetings between ordinary people, the boy lying there seemed to have heard the sound of nature, turned his head abruptly, and turned around abruptly, his dull face was full of astonishment. brought confusion.

   Looking at the girl wearing a white tube top, blue dress, and white shawl, his eyes were full of surprise.

Under his gaze, the girl raised her hands, as if she had made up her mind, but more like mustering courage. Her undulating chest showed the excitement in her heart. While taking a deep breath, she also expressed herself practical thinker.

   "I've changed my mind."

  Although it was just an ordinary sentence, it meant a lot to the boy.

  The corners of his mouth slowly curled up, and his eyes, like stagnant water, were filled with waves.

  As the girl gradually approached, the smile on his face became brighter and brighter.

   "They said you might be here..."

   When the girl came up to the boy, she volunteered her own source of information.

  But the boy didn't want to hear this, put his index finger in front of his mouth, and made a silent movement, "Shh..."

   Just when the girl was surprised, the boy had already stretched out his right hand, "Give me your hand."

   I was stunned for a moment, and the girl who realized it was looking forward to leaning forward. Under the guidance of the boy, she gradually leaned over.

   "Now close your eyes."

   "Come up."

   "Hold on to the railing."

   "Close your eyes."

  Under the boy's series of guidance, the girl who trusted him gave her body and mind to the other party.

  When the girl stepped on the railing, faced the sea, and opened her arms, she followed the boy's instructions and opened her eyes. She looked at the blue sky in front of her, felt the sea breeze, and exhilarated her face, "I'm flying, Jack..."

The excited words did not elicit an excited response from the boy. Instead, he opened his arms like the other party. Not only that, he also sang the famous song of Blanche Ring in the girl's ear, "Come on, Josephine, climb aboard!" My spaceship..."

   "Fly up, fly up..."

  While he was singing softly, the girl who understood the meaning of the lyrics no longer held back her smile.

  Their hands were entangled, and when their fingers were intertwined and entangled in their stomachs, the two who had been looking at the sea turned their heads in tacit understanding. The moment their eyes met, the fireworks called love burst out instantly.

  At this moment, in the boy's eyes, the girl is the world.

  At this moment, in the eyes of the girl, the boy is everything.

  When the surging love flame continued to burn along the line of sight of the two, enveloping them and finally devouring them, the two people, regardless of each other, closed their eyes and kissed each other.

  Looking at the scene in front of him, the truck driver sitting in front of the monitor sighed deeply.

  His face was gratified as he embraced his hands, and the relief of 'the child has finally grown up' made him very comfortable.

   "What a touching scene... They are like kittens and puppies, giving people warmth..."

   "Oh... this long kiss... this is the most sincere emotion I have seen in so many years..."

  Passing his cheek, raised and lowered his right hand holding the guide cylinder several times, until the camera indicated that a roll of film had been shot, he smiled and said: "Young, so good..."

  ...

The famous scene of "Titanic" is actually very complicated to shoot, because there is no sea, the staff are all standing in the pond, and the oncoming sea breeze is just a bunch of guys in special suits carrying blowers. It's just blowing wildly below, the so-called scenery is too beautiful, I can't bear to look at it, but the wind is too strong, I really can't keep my eyes open.

  But... even though the scene is fake, the emotion is real.

  In the previous life, when Kate and Xiao Li were filming, their emotional scene was actually a bit embarrassing.

  If you replay it several times, even ordinary people who have never studied directing can tell that their kiss scenes lack soul.

  Because when Kate and Lizi kiss, Kate’s eyes will always look up first, then droop, repeat twice, and finally close her eyes, as if it is the final confirmation before kissing Lizi. If I have to compare it, it is:

   "Dongyao Dongyao, I'm Dongguai, I'm Dongguai, I'm coming in."

   "Dongguai Dongguai, I am Dongyao, I have received it, and I have contacted it."

  What?

   Isn't this strange approach weird?

   Those who know understand that you are just kissing, but those who don’t know think that you are playing Tetris!

  If the hero and heroine need to rely on this auxiliary method to connect tacitly when filming a love scene, then I'm sorry...

  Film critics call them bad, but there is nothing wrong with them.

   And this is actually a common problem in many romance films, because even if the hero and heroine really fall in love, it is impossible to have a tacit understanding from beginning to end.

  Although according to the story development of romance films, the emotional journey and story line of the hero and heroine in the crew should be compatible with each other, but there are very few movies that shoot movies according to the development order of the story line!

   In this way, even many romantic films that can be called classics actually have a sense of fragmentation.

At the end of "Titanic", the old Ruth threw the ocean star into the sea, and in the final fantasy extended from this, the passionate kiss between Ruth and Jack did not have a tacit understanding; before, the old Ruth recalled At that time, when Ruth desperately wanted to rush to the lower cabin to rescue Jack who was leaning there, their passionate kiss was intense and natural.

   This is actually a split, because the last memory scene was filmed before the ship sank.

  Since the props have been destroyed, how can it be rebuilt and shot again?

but…

  The biggest problem of "Titanic" in the previous life has now been solved.

  Having been together day and night for half a year, although it can't change a person, it can make them connect.

  They have an instinctive way of shopping, they have a habitual kissing posture, and they have a comfortable **** position...

  When two people form a shape, when you raise your head, I will press down, and when you stand on tiptoe, I will lower my head to respond...

  The pleasing nature can conquer everyone.

  If at this time, coupled with the reluctance of not wanting to part...

   Then, it doesn't matter whether you love or not.

  No one will think that your emotions are not in place, because everything in front of you is not performing at all, but...

  Scatter dog food.

To put it bluntly, the conversation between the two of them in the lounge because of their privileges, their disagreements because of their privileges, and their reluctance to part with each other because of their privileges actually made them compare Ruth and Jack's relationship in the movie. The last link of emotion is perfectly completed.

The surprise when we met, the beauty when we got to know each other, the redemption when we were struggling, the reluctance when we parted, the love at first sight when we met each other, the touch at the Berlin Film Festival, the overlapping of two lives after watching the talent show, and the relationship caused by privilege There is a one-to-one correspondence between differences and persistence. For them, life is really like a play now, and a play is like life.

  It should be like this. Every time the truck driver shouted out another one, he didn't want to choose the best, but he wanted to know how much love these two guys have that can be burned.

  As professional actors, Kate and Roland can naturally notice the changes in their bodies.

   But this kind of positive change made them secretly happy and excited.

  Because their primary goal at the moment is to shoot the scene well, if being a turtle is good for filming, then they will take the initiative to immerse themselves in it. Not only that, they can also classify the previous differences as filming needs.

   It is because filming needs to find emotions, so there will be differences, not they themselves, willing to have differences...

  This kind of self-deception is extremely common in the entertainment industry, but if even the parties are unwilling to admit that all this is a dream, then no one can help them get out of it.

   Or in other words, if you can immerse yourself for a lifetime, then this kind of self-deception will become the love that everyone yearns for.

  ...

  Of course, they have their own perseverance, and they don't know whether they can immerse themselves for a lifetime, but the actions of the two of them make onlookers feel that this special is aimed at growing old together.

While the crew of "Titanic" was running at high speed, from September 5th to 8th, a hurricane with a speed of 195 kilometers per hour hit the east coast of America, accompanied by floods, causing houses, bridges, ships and The agricultural infrastructure was seriously damaged, causing 200,000 people to be evacuated, and the direct economic loss exceeded 3 billion yuan.

  After hearing the news, together with the staff, the two of them who were dining in the restaurant immediately had a discussion with beeps.

Kate believes, "Charity is one of the means for celebrities to maintain their own image. Although the people of America like Roland very much, and many guys are even fanatical, he can't rely on his transcendent nationality and not do charity, because the people Likes are just a result. To make this result continue to exist, in addition to producing excellent works on the stage, the image off the stage is also very important. '

Roland deeply agrees with Kate's view. However, just when others thought that the matter would end with Roland's generosity and donations for disaster relief, the final result presented to the public was Roland Allen and Kate Wen. Slater donated one million dollars to the hurricane-stricken areas to help them rebuild their homes.

That's right, many donations in the society are made with people's names as the main carrier. Most of them are in the name of individuals, and there are also quite a few joint donations by two people, but... in most cases, the two people who donate jointly , They are all husband and wife!

   It is true that when the public saw the news that Roland and Kate jointly donated money, this kind of explicit statement made them very excited. They are really a perfect match! However, when the insiders saw the same piece of news, they were stunned by the surprise!

Meow meow meow? ? ?

   Are you guys kidding me?

   No... are you guys kidding me?

To be honest, even though they imagined a series of unreal stories about Roland stepping on Miramax for love, not many people would think that an A+list would be so quickly rejected by a girl. Take it down.

  Aren’t A+list all experienced guys?

  How could you be attracted to a girl so quickly?

   Even though they had been dating for nine months, Roland's fall was a bit too fast for his colleagues.

  Of course, their so-called fall refers to the signature of the joint donation, not the attitude of having sex. The latter means losing the kidney, but the former... of course it is both kidney and heart!

   But regardless of what the outside world thinks, Roland has not been shaken by it. His life is up to him, and how much does it matter to him to point fingers at others? And with this kind of thinking in mind, even though he and Kate knew each other differently, he still kept his promise and accompanied her back to Los Angeles on the rest day to choose gifts for Christmas three months later.

  To be honest, it is indeed too early to do this now, but as long as Kate is happy, he will accompany her.

  When choosing a gift, Kate seemed to have forgotten her own persistence. Everything was considered from the perspective of her family.

A Valentino jacquard scarf worth 800 dollars, and a Prada ostrich leather handbag worth nearly 4,000 dollars. The former will be given to Canetti, and the latter will belong to David. , is a complete set of Hello Kitty plush toys.

  As for James—Roland has something to say seriously:

   "I suggest you send him a ticket to the Johns Hopkins Talent Summer Camp next summer."

   "What?"

   "Give someone a summer camp study class ticket for Christmas? Why do you have such a devilish idea?" Kate was extremely surprised.

   "Because he likes to study!" Roland lied and didn't make a draft. "He likes mathematics, physics, and chemistry the most..."

   "Really?" Kate still couldn't believe it, but her heart was shaken.

   "Have I lied to you? If you really give him tickets, I can guarantee that he will be moved and cry on the spot!"

  Under Roland's assurance, Kate finished choosing Christmas presents.

   As for Roland's share?

  After Kate finished buying, he shamelessly expressed it to the other party.

  Two teams come to the door, and only two copies are required. Two people return together, and one copy is enough.

   "Wow, why didn't I find out before, why are you so shameless?" Kate was stunned by Roland's thick skin!

   And Roland was more casual, "As long as you are willing, you will find more in the future."

   This behavior of playing charades with each other is tacit on both sides.

   While the differences between the two didn't make any headway,…

   Enjoying the moment is obviously the best choice.

Note: ①Little Lizi didn't get nominated back then, but he was criticized for being emotionally divided and too exaggerated. Watch "Titanic" carefully. Afterwards, the two sides improved significantly again, but unfortunately, it was too late to reshoot. Of course, eye contact is actually a shooting routine in many romance films. It is the same as the scene where the hero keeps telling stories and the heroine sits and listens with a smile. This kind of concealment has become a model. Ten movies In nine of them, the male and female protagonists rely on such famous scenes to forcibly promote the progress of their relationship. ②The self-deception mentioned in the article is okay in romance movies, let’s continue to talk about it in reality, but other movies are killing people. Because of this, Philip Hoffman relied on drugs for a long time to maintain normality, and finally contracted Drug addiction died, Robin Williams was also chronically depressed and hanged himself. Playing yourself can make acting very real and, likewise, super dangerous.
