Chapter 131 Long Shot

At dusk, the woods shone with the afterglow of the sun, covering the entire manor with a blur of dimness. On the forest path, Henry, the owner of the manor, and his new wife Margaret walked side by side, behind him. Not far away was Margaret's sister Helen.

All three seemed to have their own minds, Henry looked slightly impatient, Margaret was slightly awkward and depressed, and Helen was a little bit upset at last.

"Can't you really help him?" Margarita asked with a sigh.

"Mary, you need to understand that we and him are people of two worlds, we have already helped him, haven't we?" Henry said slowly, "Stop this topic?"

"But it's because of your help that Leonard lost his job," Helen said, lifting her skirt a few steps to follow, and glaring at Henry.

"Cut" just before Hopkins spoke, Adrian called out.

He frowned and shook his head slightly. He stepped in front of the three, looked at Hopkins and Thompson, and finally raised his arms to focus on Kate. "Know where your problem is ?"

Kate recalled it carefully and shook her head blankly. Adrian sighed and shrugged, then turned around and walked back, shouting: "Come back"

Kate opened her mouth and seemed to want to say something, but eventually swallowed back, just looking at Adrian's back with a little sorrow. It had been NG for more than ten times, but he never told her where the problem was. If at any other time, she can still slowly adjust and explore, but now it is shooting with a long lens, a lens is at least five or six minutes long, always NG at the end, not only delay the progress but also Wasted everyone's energy.

"Don't worry, take your time," Thompson whispered in her ear. "I think Ed wants you to understand where the problem is, which is good for you."

"Thank you, Emma." Kate reluctantly smiled and took a deep breath before returning to the starting position.

In fact, these long shots were not in the original version. Adrian would naturally have his consideration to make such an arrangement. This film is also a landscape film in a certain sense. It shows the Victorian humanities from one side. These things also make up a small proportion of the entire film. Adrian also specially invited two experts to the crew. Give advice to prevent mistakes in details, costumers and props also invited people from the UK.

When finishing work yesterday evening, it was exactly the same afterglow. The whole manor shrouded in the dim light seemed to have a special taste. This kind of weather is very rare in the United Kingdom, known for its rain and fog, so after the scene reappeared the next day, Adrian decided to use a long lens to show this scenery.

As a person who used to touch the camera in previous lives, and now has copied 5 movies, this is basically difficult. Besides, even if the shooting is not good, it can be cut into short shots when editing.

However, because of the long shooting time, Kate's shortcomings were immediately exposed. Although she did a lot of homework, she read the script over and over again, and kept discussing with Adrian, but after all, she has not appeared in many movies, and she is still a little naive in terms of skills, so NG has become a long-term event .

In the face of this situation, Adrian unexpectedly did not provide guidance. After each NG, he would only ask one question: Do you know where the problem is? No matter what Kate answered, she would continue shooting.

It's not that he doesn't want to be instructed, but if it needs to be explained by the director for a long time, Kate's acting skills will be very slow. Although she is relatively smart, she is still a lot worse than those who are born to perform.

After two more shots like this, and watching the sun completely set down, Adrian announced the end of work.

After having dinner in the restaurant of the manor, the staff began to rest in twos and threes. Women usually find a small room to chat. As for men, although the British and Americans are not clear-cut, they also have their own children. Circles and occasionally quarrels.

At this time, the role of Hopkins was manifested. He was both British and lived in the United States for a long time, and the staff also respected him, so mediation was much more convenient than others.

"Emma, ​​I'm going to leave for a while and stay here, okay?" After ten minutes in the women's room, Adrian finally couldn't help but want to leave.

No way, Emma must be with him, and he can't brag with the little girl and a bunch of kids, right? But in the women's chat room, the much-loved little girl was like a fish, but he didn't feel a little bored.

"I'm going too." The little girl still sitting in Thompson's arms crawled down with hands and feet, swayed and ran over to grab Adrian's corner.

"Oh, dear Emma, ​​can you give me some personal time?" Adrian sighed, pinched Emma's little face, and looked at Thompson, who was on the long table.

"Emma, ​​let your Uncle Ed do his thing," Thompson walked over with a smile, and picked up the little guy from behind. "Maybe you want to hear me tell you a story?"

Emma bit her lip and looked at Thompson and Adrian. After a while, she pursed her lips and said hesitantly, "It's not too late when you come back."

"I see, miss." Adrian raised his hands helplessly, glanced at Thompson with a smirk, then turned around and walked out.

In the living room, the people gathered here had dispersed, Adrian walked straight to the door of the room, stretched out to the shadow of the tree swaying outside at night. Fortunately, in the cast, the little guy and Thompson are still a good match, or because they are both called Emma? But Thompson is good at coaxing children.

Adrian couldn't help but look back. Speaking of which, Emma Thompson is also very glorious. If it's not already married and older, maybe ... he suddenly raised an eyebrow and then rubbed his fingers. It's been almost a month, and even though there were still long gloves, the feeling was still evocative. Adrian suddenly laughed. Greedy? Of course, greed is good-well, proper greed is good. It is the driving force for the development of this world. If a person dare not even face his own, how can he be qualified to say that he will succeed?

Going around, Adrian was about to go back, looked up, and couldn't help chuckling. Then he entered the room and reached the second floor, walking down the corridor to the end.

"Is the evening breeze comfortable, Kate?" He said, smiling at the figure on the balcony.

"Of course, at least it's more comfortable than during the day." Kate turned and said lightly, brushing her hair.

Adrian could not help but brighten her eyes. Although she had changed her costume, the classical temperament of her entering the drama still remained on her body, so it looked like a new taste under the dim light in the corridor at this moment. .

"Still angry or unwilling?" Adrian walked to her, reaching out and holding her waist.

"A little bit, after Emma talked to me, I probably understood your intentions." Kate raised his hand and seemed to want to go around his neck, but drew down halfway.

"Emma? Which Emma?" Adrian asked deliberately.

"You know what I'm talking about," Kate showed an annoyed look, and immediately raised her fist and wanted to punch him in the chest, but hesitated for a few seconds before she put her hand down.

Adrian couldn't help laughing, and his shook his head looked a little embarrassing, and Kate couldn't help but raise his lowered hand again. However, before this time, she was taken into her arms by the other side, and then her mouth was sealed.

After a few whinings, she could only lean back slightly and let Adrian rag in her mouth.

"What do you want me to say, Kate?" Adrian said ridiculously, holding her face, "don't you think that we don't know you are my girlfriend without intimate actions?"

"No, I just ..." Kate pursed her mouth, waving her hands to explain.

"Well, Kate, there are countless directors who let a lover play a role in a film he directs," Adrian squeezed her chin suddenly and lowered his voice. "Or do you think you should act as a heroine?"

As soon as the voice fell, a soft noise came from under the ribs, and Adrian bent his teeth with a grin. Kate, who was embarrassed at first, even shook her hand and hummed, but couldn't help hurriedly supporting Adrian who bent down after a few seconds.

"Are you okay, Ed?" Kate asked nervously. "I didn't mean it."

"I know you didn't do it on purpose." Adrian hugged her suddenly with a smile.

Kate was startled at first ~ lightnovelpub.net ~ Then she sank, and Adrian immediately said, "But it still hurts."

Skipped his mouth, Kate sighed: "May I apologize to you?"

"Of course," Adrian squeezed her waist. "It's better that we find a room and then apologize slowly. What about it?"

Kate hugged and looked down at him, Kate couldn't help smirking, and was about to promise, suddenly her eyes were attracted. After two or three seconds, she patted Adrian's shoulder helplessly: "Let me down, Obviously, I will be jealous for a long time. "

"Huh?" Adrian was a little confused, but turned his head and understood. In the hallway not far from the balcony, Emma looked at him and Kate in a spirited manner, staring fiercely, with a look of grievance and indignation, she seemed very, very upset, if not being held by someone, saying Maybe it has already run over. Thompson, holding her hand, stood a little awkwardly, shrugging with a bitter smile after Adrian put his gaze over.

Unwilling little ghost. Adrian sighed in his heart and had to put Kate in his arms down.
