The streets of Los Angeles always appear to be particularly wide. There are no high-rise buildings around, as if the whole world has opened up. The bright sun fills every corner unscrupulously. Palm trees, skateboard shoes, retro sports cars and lemonades are everything. With a layer of warm creamy yellow, even passersby in a hurry seem to have a touch of comfort.

"Sorry, sorry, I'm late." Drake Doremus wiped the sweat from his forehead, with a bright smile on his face, pulled the chair next to him, and sat down on the right hand of Lan Li, "You When did I get here? I shouldn’t have waited long? I’m really sorry, I know, I’ve been blacklisted based on New York time?"

The rhythm of Drake's words is always not hurried or slow, and the intonation fluctuates very smoothly, even if it is breathless, but the content of the words is always lively and playful, and there are even playful ridicules, plus cuteness. The contrast between his volume and chubby figure is very sharp, but his image is outlined in a few words.

"It's okay, if you calculate it according to Los Angeles time, you came just right. If it is Barcelona time, you are much earlier." Lanly's answer made Drake laugh sullenly, laughter in his chest. .

Today is the day when the entire crew of "Crazy Love" meets formally. It is not only an occasion for introducing and knowing each other, but also an occasion for determining the keynote style and character style of the work.

After completing the contract the day before yesterday, Lan Li got the script, read the whole script carefully, and settled his own thoughts. Therefore, on an occasion like today, the actors and directors can communicate with each other and exchange opinions and opinions. Understand, determine a direction for the next filming work, and avoid the need to spend time arguing after entering the filming. For independent crews, once they are turned on, every link will cost money, and the cost of film alone is enough.

The details of this one can be seen. Compared with Rodriguez Cortes, Drake has much more experience in directing feature films.

Lanly arrived twenty-five minutes earlier than the scheduled time. It was just that after sitting for less than ten minutes, Drake showed up and he was not late.

It was late September now, but it was still a hot summer in Los Angeles. Drake was sweating profusely and hurriedly summoned the waiter, ordered a glass of ice-cola, and he saw Lan Li's staring eyes over his head. He couldn't help but He looked around, his eyes rounded, "What's wrong? Is there a problem with my appearance?"

Lan Li smiled and shook his head. He was actually watching Drake all the time. Because the script of "Love Is Crazy" was written based on his personal experience. Although Jacob in the story is not his own incarnation, he can still see some shadows more or less. Therefore, he is trying to learn from Germany. Lake confirmed his own understanding of Jacob.

"No, just reading the script just now, something curious." Lan Li calmly switched the topic.

Drake didn't doubt that he was there, his eyes fell on the script in Lan Li's hands, and his expression could not help but become excited, "How? What do you think? What's the problem?"

"What I'm curious about is, what I was when you fell in love with her, your ex-wife." Lan Li moved his black tea to the side, then put the script on the table and talked in earnest, "Could it be because of that poem? Was it because someone took the initiative to confess to you, and the heart started to crash?"

Lan Li's easy way made Drake laugh happily.

In the "Crazy Love" script, the details of the two people falling in love did not give too much weight. Anna fell in love with Jacob, and then wrote a poem and placed it on the windshield of Jacob's car. On the glass, after Jacob read it, he asked Anna out; the two simply made some jokes, and later Anna showed Jacob the other poems she wrote. It was a beautiful day, and that’s it. Fell in love.

There are only two scenes shown in the script. One is a tentative exchange between two people in a cafe, and the other is at Anna's house in the evening, and the two exchange poems in a notebook.

Just like Lanli, the entire script has a very long time span. The director cannot show all the spiritual communication and spark collision of two people slowly falling in love like "before sunrise" and "before sunset". He can only intercept some life. Fragments, and then show through the performance of actors.

In the last life of "Love Is Crazy", the performances of Anton Eugene and Felicity Jones failed to show these details, just like countless Hollywood romantic movies, relying on the spark of love at first sight to explain.

However, the lack of details made the audience lose their sympathy. They lacked further understanding of the melting love between Jacob and Anna, not to mention the alienation of the two later, which also made the story stay on the surface: Two young people who fell in love because of their excitement/affair, drifted away because of the distance. Then it affected the film's deepening of the essence of love.

Now, Lan Li is trying to understand the story outside the script, the messages that only the actors know and then convey to the audience through the performance. These unseen content and unreadable details are not only the foundation of the actor's performance, but also the foundation of the sublimation of the story. He must start from scratch, delete all the movie fragments in his mind about the previous life, and rebuild the character.

"I guess it should be all." Drake hesitated, then rubbed his cheeks with both hands, and whispered in annoyance, "It's been too long, everything has been too long, and the memory is now blurred. He put down his hands and looked at Lan Li, "Do you have to understand this?"

Lan Li pursed his lips, Shi Shiran picked up the coffee and took a sip. Although there are no words, the meaning cannot be more obvious.

Drake's shoulders were drooping, his head drooped and he thought about it seriously, and then took a deep breath. Then he looked up at Lan Li again, "You know, I used to be a dull otaku, of course, and now I am. Me. I took a very remote major. For girls, no one would like it; and I’m not very conversational and don’t know how to make girls laugh. So when a girl suddenly confessed to me, I must admit that I It's ecstatic."

Drake fell into the memory, and after a long silence, the smile on the corner of his mouth rose, and even the brows could see happiness. Lan Li couldn't help but guess that even though Drake had been divorced, deep down, they should still love each other. The years passed by, and the light and warmth of that memory still remained.

"I'm a little nervous, and a little excited. But the important thing is that I like her words." Drake leaned forward and met Lan Li's sight, his eyes glowing with excitement, as if arriving. The appearance of receiving a love letter for the first time, "She is really a very talented girl. Her poetry has a delicate touch and I like it very much. By the way, her handwriting is very beautiful."

Falling into the memory, the smile on Drake's face became a little more melancholy.

However, Lan Li couldn't help thinking about how turbulent Drake's heart was after chasing his ex-wife to London. After returning to Los Angeles, on what occasion did he meet a new object before, when the other party moved to London. When he was in his studio, how mixed his mentality was. They obviously still love each other, but they are pushed forward by the torrent of life. The helplessness and powerlessness are embarrassing.

"Do you remember why you broke up?" Lan Li suddenly remembered this question, so he asked it out.

As Lan Li expected, Drake's eyes showed a daze, and there was no word for a long time. This is life. There are so many things in my mind that even Guangyu thunders silently. The two people who obviously love each other choose to break up, but the two people who clearly hate choose to hold hands. Suddenly, it turns out that the trivialities in the deep memory can no longer be clearly recognized. , Even Drake didn't know how they came to an end.

This is precisely the deepest connotation of the movie "Love Is Crazy", which belongs to the true meaning of life.

"Farewell to her for so many years, what do you remember most about her now?" Lan Li followed Drake's expression and asked another question.

Drake's eyes fluctuated gently, seeming to sink into memory, and then the corners of his mouth became gentle, "Her eyes. You know, she has a pair of beautiful eyes, as if they are full of stars." Simple His words are the most beautiful love words in the world, but I think of the regretful ending of the two people, adding a touch of sorrow.

"Hey, I'm not late, am I?" A panting voice burst in abruptly, the disordered breathing with a hint of panic, and the messy silk drifted to her lips because of the strong wind. She couldn't help but raise her hand to poke the silk away. The bright eyes entered the line of sight~lightnovelpub.net~ The gleaming flow between Gu and Pan outlined a hint of flexibility and perseverance.

With just a glimpse, Lan Li understood why Drake chose her to play Anna.

"Sorry, I sat on the second floor. If it weren't for the waiter who came and asked me what I wanted for lunch, I didn't realize it. I was still wondering if I remembered the time incorrectly." With a trace of shyness and reddened cheeks, she had to bite her lower lip gently to hide her panic and shyness. She turned her head and stretched out her right hand towards Lan Li, "Felicity Jones!"

Under the determined eyes, there was still a little sloppy, that kind of young girl was still a little at a loss. "Len Li Hall!" Lan Li took Felicity's right hand and introduced himself friendly.

"Here? Is it here?" A cheerful and clear girl's voice immediately sounded, and then he saw a thin and tall golden boy strode over, his steps stopped beside Felicity. Nodding politely to Drake, "Director, long time no see."

Immediately afterwards, between the two people, another head popped out on toes. She looked left and right. As soon as she wanted to say hello, she blurted out her shocked voice, "Why are you here?"
