Annie held her cell phone in her right hand and discussed with the person on the other end of the phone, "He had a criminal record in the 1980s, so he might get a higher sentence." A taxi backed back and stopped in front of her. Annie opened the door straight and sat in the back seat. After hearing the driver's inquiry, she said loudly, "Downtown, Sany 2 North Chun Street."

The taxi drove forward smoothly, "Listen, you have to translate before 7 o'clock in the morning, okay?" Annie explained to the phone, glanced at the backward view outside the window, she took down her phone, "Wait." She stretched out her right hand to the driver, "Let's walk through Shiba Avenue and pass through Shirocheng to Rabia, then go north from Rabia to Sixth Street, and enter the city center."

Anne knew that these taxi drivers were at the peak of their get off work, and they always took the opportunity to walk the busy lane and earned more stranding fees. She was not the one who suckers.

No longer paying attention to the driver, Annie continued to say to her phone, "So what? Do you want to stay overnight? I want to save your tears." After that, Annie ignored the other party and hung up the phone directly.

Max, who was sitting in the driver's seat, glanced at Annie from the rearview mirror, seemed a little hesitant, and couldn't help but take another look, then kept his voice calm and said tentatively, "I will go to the 105 East Highway and turn to the 110 Highway, which will be faster."

"What?" Anne obviously didn't notice.

Max paused slightly, his eyebrows gathered up with some anxiety, but he still showed a trustworthy and honest smile, looking at the rearview mirror and said, "I said, it will be faster to go one or five to one or zero."

Anne glanced at Max indifferently, "Yi-Lin will transfer to the parking lot near the University of Southern California." The parking lot here refers to the traffic jam.

Max held the steering wheel with one hand. He curled his lips and gently tapped his chin. A light of confidence flashed in his eyes, but it was fleeting. "But once you leave Rabia and reach the north of Santa Monica." His head turned, and there was a blink of an eye, and hesitated for a moment of breathing, and then hesitated firmly, "You will be completely blocked."

Anne was unmoved, "If you go north to 110, you will meet people who go back to Pasadena, who are really slow to drive."

Max raised his left hand and gently touched the end of his eyebrows with his fingernails of his thumb. He tilted his head, "Yes," he gave affirmation, but he squinted his lips slightly, and continued to say with a hint of uncertainty in his confidence, "But I will leave Gran Street, and then I will... uh..." Max looked at Annie carefully from the rearview mirror, but found that Annie had never reacted much. A ray of light slowly slipped down from the thick lens like a spring water, and he was silent for a while. Then he showed a kind smile, and said calmly and warmly with a hint of compromise in his helplessness, "Hey, if you plan to walk on the highway, then we will walk on the highway."

Annie seemed to smell the helplessness and compromise in Max's words. She raised her eyebrows, "Are we making a bet?"

Max's smile rose slightly, but then he restrained himself, as if he had a little interest, and said in a rhetorical tone. "Is that true?"

Anne snorted, “What if you were wrong?”

Max let out a sigh of relief, and his smile bloomed at the corner of his mouth. He said confidently in that teasing tone, "I don't think I'm wrong. But if I'm really wrong..." Max raised his eyebrows, looked at Anne's eyes from the rearview mirror again, and said lightly, "This trip is free." The simple words were filled with convincing confidence.

Annie seemed to see Max's eyes from the rearview mirror, and couldn't help but smile and nodded slightly, "Okay, then let's just say that."

"Car!" Percy Brandley raised his head and shouted uncertainly, then looked at the huge convoy in front of him, and approached Lance's gaze with help. After getting Lance's affirmative look, Percy let out a breath quietly and stood up straight.

Since Lance was involved in the shooting, Albert and Hayden also had their own work, the task of standing behind the monitor and shouting "Card" fell on Percy. However, Percy had no idea of ​​the director's position. Looking at the scene displayed on the monitor, he had no idea whether it was good or bad. He could only follow Lance's explanation and wait until the scene was filmed before making a sound.

Fortunately, Percy's expression without much change made others unable to see his inner hesitation at this moment.

With Percy's words, the entire huge convoy stopped. Since most of the scenes of "Borrowing a Knife to Kill" were completed on the road, a lane car was first needed to control the speed ahead to ensure the safety of the entire crew, and then a trailer carrying the entire crew - including the photography team, the lighting team and the taxi as the protagonist of the movie. If necessary, a broken vehicle was needed behind to ensure that the crew would not experience traffic accidents when moving and shooting.

Lance opened the taxi door and walked towards the monitor. In the past, Lance always stood behind the monitor during filming, and his control over the entire scene was always in his mind, but there was no way to "kill people with a knife". Lance had no idea about the quality of the scene just now.

Walking behind the monitor, Lance thought, "Kate, Hayden, and... Tom, you all come here." Although Tom Cruise only had one scene today, he followed the crew to shoot throughout the whole process. To outsiders, it seemed to be a manifestation of dedication, but Lance knew that Tom was actually watching the filming of the movie, including the rhythm of the performance.

With Lance's words, not only Kate, Hayden, Tom came over, Michael Fassbender, Mark Ruffalo and others standing next to him were eager to try. Even Gao Wen leaned forward and watched, but in the end Ian grabbed him to avoid making the three outer and three layers of encirclement there more complicated.

After everyone stood behind the monitor, Lance gave the order and "played", and then everyone stared at the short scene just now. In fact, there were only about seventy seconds of scenes in the beginning and end, and the playback was completed in the blink of an eye.

The scene was in silence. As they were filming on the road, the sound of the engines coming and going next to them made this silence nervous.

Lance turned to look at Tom and gave him a look. Then Tom turned his attention over, but then Lance did not speak to Tom, but looked at Hayden, "The use of light in this scene can be slightly weakened, and the gap between Max and Anne can be established, but the contrast does not need to be too obvious, because in the next few scenes, the two of them will begin to establish a connection, and the shadow of light in the middle can even gradually blur."

In this scene, Hayden had already started using the lights as they planned. The shooting effect was amazing. Anne sat behind the passenger seat, while Max sat in the driver's seat. Both of them had brighter faces near the side of the car window. Hayden borrowed the sky that was not completely dark outside to light it with natural light, and then made a hazy halo between the two people and the car window, adding light sources to create the illusion of visual effects, resulting in the light between the two people being weakened, as if a gray area was formed in the middle.

However, the relationship between Max and Anne and Max and Vincent are different, so naturally the lights need to be different.

"At the back, the lights of Max and Vincent can also change. At the beginning, Vincent's location was a little brighter, but Vincent was hidden in the shadows under the bright light; but in the second half, the light at Max's location began to be bright, but Max would be exposed to the light." In fact, this is also a metaphor for the power comparison between the two people. At that time, the light would hit the middle of the two people, as if light was used to connect the bond between the two people, and the light outside the car window would gradually weaken to fall into a darkness, cutting off the connection between the taxi and the world.

Tom's brows gathered slightly in the middle. He finally understood the reason why Lance called him over. Just from the first scene, the performance could be seen from the details. However, Tom still had no clear idea at this time, and he couldn't help but look up at Lance.

At this time, Lance had turned his head to look at Kate and said to Percy, "Play it again, I'll call for a pause, and then pause immediately." Percy nodded, and then Lance signaled Kate to concentrate, "Look, once you get in the car, you will be stronger, because you are confident about the driving route of the taxi, as if you have seen through Max's plan - he just wants to take you around in circles, so your tone can be a little more serious, your vision can be clearer, as if there are signs on the top of your head, and then some gestures."

Lance looked back at Kate and signaled Percy to pause, "Did you notice it? I've been trying to make eye contact with you." Kate couldn't help but was shocked. She really didn't notice it, "Through the rearview mirror. Max is the driver. He can't look back directly, but he can communicate with you through the rearview mirror. At the beginning, you don't care about it at all, but when you come back, you have to notice this kind of communication, and you can be convinced because of this kind of vision collision."

After Percy received the signal, he started playing again. At this time, Kate did not pay attention to his performance, but noticed Lance's performance. In fact, the scene just now was only one minute, as if there was not much room for play, but to Kate's surprise, Lance's performance clearly outlined the image of Max.

Calm and confident but not ostentatious, restrained and friendly without attack. Although the character still needs to be further explored, it is only a minute of space. A few lines, Kate can feel the image of Max, which is completely different from Lance, and has quietly appeared on the paper. This not only hides the eyes behind the glasses, but also weakens the attack power in his sight. At the same time, he also uses subtle small movements such as pouting his lips, touching his eyebrows, snouts, and tilting his head to show emotional changes that are helpless or confident. Almost every picture is full of "play".

Kate suddenly noticed something, "Lance, are you intentionally slowing down the performance?"
