971 Slowly Approaching
Emma was a little confused. She couldn't tell the difference between reality and dreams. A picture appeared in her mind inexplicably. Lance stood at the entrance of the stairs on the third floor, quietly looking at her sleeping look. Her handsome face was filled with a smile, and she was filled with unprecedented warmth. However, Emma didn't know whether it was from the dream or whether it happened in reality.
Looking up, Emma greeted Cole's friendly smile, "You'd better go to the room downstairs to sleep. It's so uncomfortable on the sofa." Cole looked energetic and happy. Only then did Emma remember that Cole didn't attend the party last night, "It seemed that last night was probably a wild night."
Faced with Cole's joke, Emma pulled the corner of her mouth and responded absent-mindedly, turned around and looked in the direction of the study. It seemed that it was the effect of the dream just now. She subconsciously felt that Lance should be inside. Cole's voice came from her ears, "I'll go to the study to talk to Lance. Come downstairs and have a good rest. Look at your eyes swollen..." The words afterwards began to weaken-so, wasn't the dream just now? Then everything happened real?
Emma only felt a little confused. From last night to just now, the fragments of reality and dreams were stacked layer by layer, and it was difficult to distinguish. The mixed tastes surged on the tip of her tongue, but she couldn't taste them. She stood up suddenly, but suddenly became confused, looked back at the study room again, and then walked quickly towards the stairs, fled from here in panic.
I was originally planning to go to the second floor, but when I came to my senses, I was already standing in the empty hall on the first floor, shook my head, trying to make my brain clear, but the heavy feeling still couldn't get rid of it.
"Beginning." A voice came from the kitchen. Turning his head, Emma saw Gao Wen who was preparing breakfast. "It shouldn't be a good rest last night, right? Should I eat something and go back to make up for my sleep? This way, the quality of sleep will be better." Gao Wen had a warm smile on his face. It was a completely different aura from Lance. There could be such a big difference between the two brothers, which is really novel.
With hesitation, Emma's footsteps had already reached the kitchen. Gao Wen quickly put the plate, took a piece of pancake from the tall pancake tower next to it, and put it on the plate in front of Emma. "Maple syrup, cream, strawberries..." Gao Wen placed the things in front of Emma one by one, "Then I'm making two eggs for you, do you want to stir or fry?"
"Gaowen, I...I can't eat so much." Emma chuckled.
"I must thank you last night, this is at least I can do." Gao Wen's words made Emma smile slightly, raised her head, and looked at Gao Wen in confusion.
Last night, yes, last night. Although she was still angry because she was worried about Lance, she followed Lance to the second floor and then found that Lance locked herself in the bathroom. In panic, she notified Gao Wen. Surprisingly, after listening to her explanation, Gao Wen was even more worried than her, and even broke the bathroom door, which made her head full of question marks. She could vaguely detect the abnormality, but couldn't say a reason. Now, all these questions were back in her head again.
"Why...uh, I mean, why do you seem particularly worried?" Driven by curiosity, Emma asked, but her tongue was a little unscrupulous. She always felt that she was exploring other people's pain. This was an incorrect behavior.
Gao Wen paused slightly, and the figure of Lance sitting under the shower head appeared in his mind, which reminded him of that summer afternoon. Lance curled up in the corner of the simple toilet with blood, trembling all over, and the soul in his eyes was broken, as if a gust of breeze would disappear.
Gao Wen tightened his hands, adjusted his breathing, cleared the memory segments, and smiled at Emma, "If I said that we almost lost each other forever because of some accidents, do you believe it?" Emma was stunned for a moment, and her heart stopped beating for no reason. She didn't even know what Gao Wen meant, but that was it, without warning, held her breath. Then, Emma saw Gao Wen laughing brightly, waved her right hand holding the spatula, "Haha, do you really believe it?" She looked completely joking, "Actually, it's because Lance was in poor health and had an injury on his left hand. He jumped into the sea, and we were worried that his old injury would recur. You know, he is not as strong as me."
Emma pulled the corner of her mouth and laughed with Gao Wen, but it slowly sinks deep inside. The heavy sadness was gently pulled and unable to breathe. She herself didn't understand what was going on. Gao Wen had already said that it was a joke, but her intuition was shouting. Gao Wen's words were hidden. Things were not that simple. This intuition without evidence firmly grasped all her emotions. Suddenly, Emma remembered Lance's aggressive attitude last night, and exuded a strong aggressiveness all over her body, mercilessly hurting everyone who tried to approach - she was the first to be affected. One by one, one node was like pearls scattered all over the ground. Without that core clue, there was no way to connect everything.
The words that surged to his mouth swallowed, picked up the knife and fork again, and prepared to start enjoying his breakfast. His eyes swept to the corner of the table, and then he withdrew his gaze, but he couldn't help but be stunned. Emma raised her head and looked over again, and looked carefully, and a big smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, "'Clean Heart'?" It was a retro video tape, a video tape of "Clean Heart". Emma's first reaction was: This was the video tape taken from Napa Valley, "Is this the 'Clean Heart'?" But after looking closely, she found that it was brand new, not the volume she had seen before.
"Oh, yes. Do you like it too? This is our favorite movie." Gao Wen nodded with a smile and said casually, "But the videotape is not easy to save now, it is very easy to damage. I don't know if the DVD version will be released in the future..."
Emma herself didn't notice it, the smile on the corner of her mouth rose slightly, and her eyes became softer involuntarily: This is indeed Lance's favorite movie.
Cole looked at Lance sitting next to the windowsill, with a faint dark circle in his eyes, "Are you sure it's okay? After a night of fun, you'll have no problem even if you sleep for twenty-four hours."
Lance ignored Cole's concerns and asked, "What did he say?"
Cole also wisely stopped until he did not go deeper, "William-hurt? He agreed readily without any questions."
As a famous old Hollywood actor, William once won the Oscar nomination for Best Actor in the mid-1980s for three consecutive years, and won the Best Actor Award for "Spider Girl Kiss". Last year, he also won many nominations for his outstanding performance in "History of Violence". Unfortunately, he met Lance, who was "Fruit Hard Candy", but failed to win the Oscar nomination for the fourth time.
This time, Lance invited William to play the role of General Ross, the father of Ribetty, the "Invincible Hulk". If it can be successful, according to Lance's concept, this will also be one of the important roles throughout the series of movies. It would be better to be played by an old actor like William. However, William did not attend the party last night. Cole personally contacted him and made a decision.
In this way, three seats have been confirmed by the four core characters of "Invincible Hulk", Edward Norton, Naomi Watts, and William Hurt. Each of these actors is at the Oscar nomination level. It is really rare for a commercial movie with comic superheroes. Even the stars-studded "Avengers" cannot be compared.
"What about Brosky?" This is also the main reason why Cole came to find Lance today.
In fact, when contacting an actor, either Lance himself or the crew's deputy director or producer, but Chaos Film is diverting its attention. The company has been preparing for "Iron Man". Only a few core personnel know about "Invincible Hulk", so Cole then helped - as an agent, he contacted the actor directly through the peer network, which can prevent the leak of news to the greatest extent.
As the villain of "Invincible Hulk", if the excellence of superheroes will determine the lower limit of the movie, then the excellence of villains will determine the upper limit of the movie. For those mainstream superhero movies, they would rather give up the creation of villains than ensure that the superheroes are wonderful. This is the conservative approach to ensure that the finished product is maintained above the average level. To some extent, "Iron Man" also chose Iron Overlord, which is the decision to reduce the branch line to reduce the pressure on the script. However, on "Invincible Hulk", Lance did not want to continue to be conservative - "Hulk Hulk" has already caused Lee/An a fall, and the "Invincible Hulk" in the previous life is not satisfactory. Instead of conservatively moving towards a tepid result, it is better to follow Lance's usual style and take a gamble.
Therefore, Lance also plans to be bold in Brosky's choice.
"I have two choices, but I need to audition myself." Neither of the two actors appeared at the party last night because they were not the well-known actors. So Lance needed Cole to make a secret connection and complete the audition. Cole shrugged and made a gesture of "let the horse over". Lance said without any pause, "One is j-k-simmons, and the other is Robert Knepper."
