Vol 3 Chapter 12: Progressing well

Chapter XII goes well
The yellow leaves paved the ground, and the cold light sprinkled down, making the quiet woods obviously more desolate, as if nothing existed. The girl crouched on the ground, staring blankly at the sky, and then turned back to look at her mother.
"Mom, look at me," she begged, her eyes shining brightly. However, the middle-aged woman sitting behind her was just staring in a daze without any reaction.
"Something went wrong, I don't know what to do." The girl lowered her head and continued to say, but she quickly raised her head and continued to look at her mother. "Can you help me this time, mother?"
However, her mother still didn't respond, and the girl's voice couldn't help raising it a little: "Mom, look at me!"
This time, the mother finally lowered her head, but there was always a blankness in those eyes.
"'Teardrop' advised me to sell this forest, should I sell it?" The girl asked in a trilled tone, and a tear finally slipped from her face.
It is a pity that the mother continued to remain silent, and the easy response before was only a conditioned reflex.
"Please, help me this time!" The sadness overwhelmed by the tremendous pressure, unstoppable emerged from the young face, she lowered her head and shook: "I don't know what to do It's ... "
Tears poured from the eyes again, and although still silent, the girl's face was thoroughly wet, leaving a noticeable mark.
"Very good!" Adrien, who was in the mirror, called out at this time.
After a pause of about two or three seconds, the quiet scene suddenly became lively, and the lighting engineer, sound engineer, and props holding the reflector were relaxed. But Natalie crouching on the ground didn't respond, she still hung her head down there, and for a long while she didn't get up. The actress who was sitting next to her and played the mentally sick mother calmly grabbed her hand.
After a few more seconds, Natalie recovered and looked up, smiled at the actress, got up and walked to the side, and the wet marks on her face were still obvious.
"Good job." Adrian walked over, handed the tissue to her, and gestured to the assistant next to her.
Natalie said nothing, wiped her eyes, and covered the hot towel that the assistant had handed over her face, so she leaned back on the chair for a long time to recover.
"You did a good job, Natalie," repeated Adrian, who had been sitting beside him watching, "I'm glad you have grasped the most important trait of the role of Dolly."
"Restraint," Natalie answered in a steady voice.
"Yes, restrained." Adrian nodded with approval.
Although Matilda is also restrained, she ignites herself irresistibly when she encounters Lyon, and Dolly, a young girl who has to provoke the burden of life, is restrained from beginning to end. She is always strong and cold, always unsmiling and taciturn, so if she wants to express her emotions accurately, she must work the subtle changes in body language and expressions, so that the character looks weak. And tough.
This is why, after some relatively ordinary shots, Adrian first took this shot to take the mentally ill mother into the woods to show her the heart in order not to let others see his stress, instead of going to each other's house one by one Query father's whereabouts. In this way, Natalie can better understand the temperament and emotions needed. Anyway, the scenes and props required for this movie are relatively simple and easy to convert.
"In short, this introverted tenacity runs through the entire movie, and when you interpret this emotion, you interpret the whole character," said a few words, and Adrian said, "I can't give you more guidance. , Natalie, the rest is entirely your own groping-I heard you seem to be planning to study psychology? "
Natalie froze with this without any warning, but she nodded immediately, and she was numb to the news of Adrian's knowledge.
"If you have the time, you can talk to people who have research in this area, maybe you can do better." Adrian smiled, then got up and left.
Natalie opened her mouth and seemed to want to ask something, but hesitated and then said nothing, but these all fell into Adrian's eyes.
"Isn't this what you want, Nag." He suddenly lowered his voice, and changed his title. "You don't want to leak it in front of people, of course I want to alienate you, don't you?"
He laughed again and quickly walked away. Although his eyes were always on him, Natalie always restrained herself and did not show any extra emotions on her face, even the small gesture of biting her lips, even in her heart. It was a little unsuccessful to be blocked by that sentence.
She has a request and naturally should meet her. Adrian is willing to meet all her reasonable requirements, such as making her look a little different from other women. This is not difficult, as it is a good practice to keep a distance with her in front of the crew members, as many people know, he hardly covers his relationship with women in front of the crew members. Although the crew is tightly managed, but occasionally Miss a hint of news.
This may not be concealed forever, but it will be okay for a few years. If Natalie is still thinking about her thoughts, she will also cooperate actively. And more than that, Adrian has other arrangements, such as--
"The name of the state of Missouri is derived from the language of the Sioux people, which means canoe. The Missouri and Mississippi rivers flow through the west and east respectively, which can be outlined in their minds. The Indians rowed the canoe hundreds of years ago. Then, fish from the river are prepared for winter food. "Standing on a small original pond, Adrian said to Jessica beside him.
"If you want, wait until next summer and we can come here and try to practice canoeing." He continued, brushing the girl's hair.
Jessica laughed, and then took a deep breath with her arms open: "It's so cold here, even the air is so cold."
Indeed, the coldest time in Missouri is January, which is only about 25 degrees Fahrenheit (-4 degrees Celsius). Even though the temperature has risen a lot in March, the average temperature in Missouri is only about 60 degrees Fahrenheit (15 degrees Celsius). How high can the case be. Of course, in another two months, the temperature still returned to the level it should be in summer. All Adrian chose to make "Bone in Winter" first.
"Don't you remember anything?" Adrian raised an eyebrow in surprise. "I remember you lived in Mississippi until the age of four."
"Biloxi is a port city and is located in the Gulf of Mexico. Winter is not that cold." Jessica shrugged.
"Okay," Adrian laughed. "Stop this, they're ready, I'm going to pass."
He pointed to the other side of the pond. The prop group had prepared the boat, and was about to film the plot where the heroine saw the hands of the father's body sinking into the pond under the leadership of several middle-aged women. Taking the sawed hands to the police station proved that his father had been killed and thus saved his house.
"I'll accompany you to Kansas City after the job, will you?" He said, and then he came over, and Jessica kissed him even though she contracted her neck.
The shooting process went smoothly. Natalie had a good control of the role. She almost integrated with Ray Dolly and played the actor nicknamed "Teardrop" actress father and brother. John Haaks also kept talking to her. .
"It's hard to imagine that a girl who grew up in a big city like New York can perform the introverted wild temperament of a country girl," said the old actor from Minnesota.
This is indeed the case. When shooting Natalie's face when confronted with a group of dangerous adults, the calm and even indomitable appearance was very impressive. Matilda, who also had a nosebleed because of being beaten, felt stubborn and weak, but Dolly, who had lost a tooth, had a tenacious and tenacious rooted in the bone marrow. For people growing up in the inland areas like Haks, they feel very sensitive to this temperament. They all praise Natalie in this way, and you can imagine how outstanding she is.
As Hax puts it, the feeling that a girl who has grown up in a big city can perform like this is really a great thing. Adrian didn't care too much about this. Natalie can do this. In addition to the continuous improvement of her shooting progress created by his series of arrangements, and her own efforts, there are some more For complicated reasons, I won't go into details here.
"It's really a strong girl, and I also want to play such a role." Jessica read the script with some emotion and envy.
Although because of pregnancy, and such a young pregnancy, the original lively and love to express her personality has converged a lot, but the natural motherhood breath that has revealed her still got a good popularity in the crew, Dakota I really like her, and chat with her is the most people after Adrian. Of course, this is possible thanks to Jessica's lower abdomen is not obvious, and Adrian's unabashed intimacy.
He did not shy away from showing his relationship with Jessica in front of the script members, and often hugs Jessica in front of Natalie. Anyone who has worked with Adrian knows that every time he makes a movie, if he is either related to the heroine or the related woman will come to the crew to explore the class, so this method is used to get rid of him and Natalie. The relationship couldn't be more appropriate. After all, everyone knows that he has tightly blocked the outside world in this regard, but he is very casual in the crew. After getting used to it, how many people would think that he would do the same in the crew?
However, there is a reason besides this, don't look at Natalie's pretend look, but from her small movements and part of the tone of the conversation, you can infer her mental state. Although she is very clever, and although she is still quite resistant to herself, the woman is so strange in this respect. Even if she understands this herself, she still can't resist some subconscious behavior, which is interesting.
Jessica didn't stay long, and Adrian spent three days in Los Angeles after taking a lap around Kansas City. After another month, her lower abdomen will be obvious. At that time, it is best to move to the whole place outside Los Angeles County, and gradually reduce the number of times to go home. Also promised to invite her to the Missouri studio to see it.
Unfortunately, the second season of "Black Angels in the End of the World" has already finished shooting, otherwise it would be good to let her live in Canada for a few months. It is really not good. Buy another house in Orange County.
As for what to do in the future, Adrian didn't worry at all. Even if Mark Alba was born into a Catholic, he could only admit to the fact that he was ready, and he still had many very flexible means. But Jessica's future development path will also be troublesome. A role like Lei Dolly is almost impossible. In a sense, she and Liv are the most suitable as a vase.
Besides, it really doesn't work, then it's better to take the line of romantic comedy. Although this type of comedy started to decline after 00, it is not without good works. Adrian thought so.
The shooting is still going on, because Natalie is still in a state of progress, and the progress is quite fast. Adrian estimated that if it is kept like this, it will only take five weeks to complete all the shots. After all, the whole story is actually very simple. The key lies in the interpretation of the heroine and how to shoot the details that fully show the theme. In addition, Adrian has a wealth of "experience", and it is possible to shorten the cycle.
So, on the weekend of the second week of the filming, Adrian flew back to Los Angeles, and by the way took Dakota and her mother who completed her role-
"Okay, mother, I'm leaving, otherwise I will be late." Sarah greeted her mother as she packed her things.
"Are you not eating dinner at home, Sarah?" A middle-aged man's head stretched out in the kitchen. "I made my delicacies deliberately."
"Sorry, Ronnie, there is a party I must attend." Sarah shrugged with a smile.
"That's a shame." The middle-aged man named Ronnie sighed.
"Next time, next time I promise to have dinner at home." Sarah said to apologize to her mother again. "Sorry, mom, I should stay with you."
"It doesn't matter, you have your own work and life." Roseland said with a smile, and sent her daughter to the door.
"Ronnie is a good guy. You will be happy with him, Mom." Sarah and her mother hugged.
In recent years, Roseland has also met with several men, but they are not very long. They did not stabilize until they met Ronnie Raymond. The other party is a doctor and he cares about people.
"Yes, I know." Referring to her current boyfriend, Roseland smiled, but quickly put away, hesitated and stared at her daughter and asked, "What about you, Sarah?"
"Me?" Sarah shrugged indifferently. "I don't have to be so anxious, Mom, I'm in the upswing of my career now ..."
But Roseland interrupted her words: "You're dating Adrian, aren't you?"
Sarah suddenly lost her voice and looked at her mother in a panic, not knowing what to say.
"I'm not a fool, Sarah, I already knew, let alone the rumors about Adrian are not a secret," Roseland sighed. "I haven't said anything, I want to see you performing After the happy expression, I'm glad to see you become an outstanding actor, Sarah, you are my greatest pride, but I don't want you to ... therefore, I know that man helped me a lot, but ... "
"No, mother," Sarah interrupted her mother this time. "No, I love him, mother, I love Ed."
She looked directly into her mother's eyes: "I know it might be weird to say this. In fact, sometimes I think it is weird when I think about it carefully, but ... I just love him, Mom. Ed gave me ... something I had never before , The kind of warmth and safety ... I have never felt before ... sorry, mom, but I really love him. "
Roseland was not talking, staring at her daughter for a long while, and finally sighed.
"I just want you to be happy, dear," she said. "Promise me not to hurt yourself, okay?"
"I promise you, mom, don't worry," Sarah hugged her mother, "I love you."
The mother and daughter hugged for a moment before they separated, and then Sarah got into her car and waved goodbye to her mother.
Sarah felt relieved for a long time. Although she knew that her mother had known it for a long time, it was still awkward and awkward to say so in person. Fortunately, although her mother did not support it, she did not object, which made her very happy and made her look forward to the next party.
The party was organized by Sarah, and the place was naturally in her home. Many friends were invited. The members of the cast of "Buffy the Vampire Hunter" were unforgettable. The invitation for someone to read at www.uukanshu.com was early Sent out and got a positive answer.
"Sorry, I'm missing." Say hello to friends around, Sarah walked aside. The party was very lively, and she was very happy, but a guy who promised to attend did not show up, which made her a little angry and worried. After all, this guy has never been a good candidate or late, and she just glanced out and seemed to look When the familiar figure flew by, she had no time to say hello to the other party, and she couldn't help looking for herself.
Then, walking around the aisle, Sarah didn't find anything, looking at nobody around, listening to the sound of joy outside, she couldn't help but feel discouraged. Did she read it wrong?
Sarah turned around and walked back. As she passed a room, the door suddenly opened, and two hands were stretched out from it, one covering her mouth and the other around her waist, dragging her instantly. Go in.
"Ha, Miss Buffy Ann Summers, you're on my hand now." After pressing her against the wall, the other side sneered in a low voice.
Despite the darkness in the room, Sarah's tight body relaxed immediately, and then punched under each other's ribs, dissatisfied with a sigh of anger and sulking: "Ed!"
