Chapter 289
The colorful sunset is like a layer of golden gauze, gently falling on Elizabeth's confused face.
It was just a one-time stay in the hospital. When she came to the top floor of her apartment, she found that the place had completely changed——
Large tracts of evergreen shrubs, stone fountains and landscaping, colorful flowers and plants--God, there's even a gazebo that makes you fall in love at first sight!
I saw that the top of the gazebo was covered by lush green shade, and there were rattan sofa chairs and a swing underneath. Sitting on it, you could see the fountain not far away and the invincible scenery overlooking the downtown area of San Francisco, including the famous Golden Gate Bridge. You can see everything.
Elizabeth was completely shocked.
Her expression had already calmed down, and she unconsciously put on a serene smile, immersed in the beautiful scenery, silently listening to the sound of spring water flowing and flying birds passing by, and the marked face appeared more peaceful and soft between the light and shadow.
Stretching out her hand, a butterfly flew from nowhere and landed on Elizabeth's hand, but the next second the butterfly fluttered again, and the camera followed the butterfly to Arthur who was busy not far away.
Arthur didn't notice the footsteps behind him, and was patiently watering the pots of succulents in the corner. These plants are of different varieties and states, so they need to maintain the corresponding humidity. Some need to cut off water, some need to control water, and some need only Make sure the soil is moist.
It was delicate work, and Arthur was extraordinarily patient.
And when he spent a lot of time serving them all properly, he turned his head and met Elizabeth's pair of blue eyes full of inquiry.
Arthur's expression was complicated for a moment, and in the next second, watery love and tenderness flooded his heart, making him smile involuntarily, but he could only say: "Hi."
"Hi." Elizabeth responded in the same way.
Puzzled was clearly written in her eyes, because this strange man in front of her who used to call himself a "nursing worker" in the hospital was obviously smiling slightly, but still made people feel unspeakably melancholy.
For some reason, Elizabeth suddenly felt that her mood was not so good.
Not the unhappiness and alarm caused by "strangers" breaking into her roof, but--another, unreasonably boring emotion.
Elizabeth habitually frowned slightly and asked, "How did you get in?"
"The spare key is under the fire extinguisher." Arthur's smile couldn't help but dim, he tried to take a deep, inconspicuous breath, and explained, "I don't want to scare you, I just want you to have a garden."
What made them fall in love was a garden designed by Arthur, in Carmel's seaside villa.
At that time, Elizabeth was full of longing for her own garden, but now Elizabeth doesn't seem to have any reaction to the keyword "garden", she just still twists her beautiful eyebrows, and looks at Arthur with strange eyes.
This is the most painful point.
Obviously they were two people who were passionately in love, but he was the only one guarding that memory and feeling. Every time she looked at him with such eyes, it made him feel complicated.
Arthur lowered his eyes and smiled bitterly, and said softly, "Goodbye, Lizzie."
"and many more."
"what?"
"My spare key."
"Oh, yes."
Arthur, who had expected a miracle to happen, felt powerless for a while, but obediently returned the spare key to Elizabeth.
Elizabeth took the key and asked, "How do I know you?"
Arthur looked at her tenderly and said only, "Maybe in your dream."
While talking, their skins inadvertently touched because of Arthur handing over the key. Elizabeth's eyes widened slightly, and a trace of shock and pain flashed across her face, as if being impacted by countless memory fragments at this moment.
The camera gives a frontal close-up of her eyes.
This is a pair of exceptionally beautiful eyes, the pupil color is rich blue, clear and bright, under the rendering of this beautiful sunset, there is a shimmer of orange red, which adds a bit of warm tone.
And her eyelashes are full of slenderness, hanging down at the end of her eyes, with a little innocent and pure temperament.
Scenes of scenes of the two getting along flashed through Elizabeth's mind——
'I've never needed to talk, to have another person by my side more than I have in my life. '
'Well, Arthur, do you feel it? '
'Arthur!Stop being stupid, it's a crazy plan, I'm not worth the risk you're taking for me! '
'Why are you doing this for me, Arthur? '
'Don't say anything.I think about the minutes of the present, which are already eternity. '
'Because I love you, Arthur.I can't let you ruin the rest of your life for me, I want you to live freely, I want you to be happy. '
'I have the color of your smile in my eyes, thank you for all the smiles, thank you for all the warmth.I want you to live, and to resume your life while I'm gone, my Arthur...'
Elizabeth's eyes were out of focus, and she stood there as if in a daze. Arthur, who was about to leave, began to panic, but at the same time, a sixth sense that was almost extravagant hit him. His breathing was rapid and ups and downs, and he wanted to speak. , has become even more difficult.
In a low voice, almost only he could hear, he called his lover's name: "... Lizzie?"
Elizabeth, however, remained unresponsive.
Arthur's high-hanging heart fell suddenly, but it didn't make him feel too much pain. Instead, he looked at the girl in front of him lovingly and cherishingly, and sealed up his crazy and surging feelings little by little.
It's not that he hasn't imagined pursuing Elizabeth again.
But even if they are lucky enough to fall in love again, can he really be sure that the one he loves is the ghost lady in memory, or Elizabeth who is as ignorant as a blank sheet of paper?
If memory disappears, does love still exist?
At least Arthur was unable to answer this question for the time being.
So he could only turn around silently, letting those chaotic emotions defeat him.
At this moment, Arthur heard Elizabeth's raving behind him, and the voice that haunted him was murmuring indiscernibly: "That's not a dream."
Arthur turned around abruptly.
Seeing tears streaming down her face, Elizabeth paused, stared at Arthur's familiar face, and repeated, "No, Arthur, that wasn't a dream..."
Arthur's mind went blank for a few seconds.
The deepest dream when he dreamed back at midnight became a reality. This feeling made him almost dizzy and his limbs numb. Before he could react, his sour eye sockets were already moist.
Elizabeth smiled with tears in her eyes, looking at Arthur with tenderness.
Immediately, Arthur squeezed Elizabeth's hand, took her into his arms, and kissed her with endless ecstasy...
"CUT—"
"Beautiful! Awesome! Geous!"
With the voice of Nora Efron, this NG kiss scene was finally recognized by Hollywood romantic love masters, and the hero and heroine who kissed to the point of numb lips finally completely relaxed, but they still did not leave their positions. Waiting for Nora Afron to confirm if additional shots are needed.
In the cognition of laymen, it should be very simple to let a couple who are in love film a kiss scene, but it turns out that the life outside the camera does not mean that in the camera, sometimes actors and actresses who hate each other can shoot sparks four Splashing pictures, but the couple who are making love underground have no chemical reaction at all.
Fortunately, the image of Josie and Jim together is still very attractive.
Nora Efron believes that this is largely due to the fact that the two have similar personal temperaments in some aspects: literary, melancholy, and advanced, but with a sense of alienation.
When only one of them is in the camera, it always makes people feel very lonely and a bit independent, but as long as the two of them are together, it is like finally finding a similar collision of souls, and returning to the world from the cloud all at once. , stained with fresh fireworks.
Appearance is both an advantage and a disadvantage.
During the filming of "Like Heaven", she lamented countless times the ingenuity of God's creation of man. As long as human beings still perceive the world with their eyes, the beauty of these two actors is beyond doubt.
However, if there are not enough wonderful performances to support it, "Like Heaven" will only be reduced to a beautiful extended version of the MV.
Fortunately, the performances of the two actors are more precise and delicate than Nora Afron imagined. She can hardly wait to see the final film of this movie, because she has a hunch that this will be her career. Another highlight moment of my career.
After shooting this scene, the crew's shooting in downtown San Francisco ended, and they moved to a villa in Carmel to shoot the scene where the hero and heroine are in love for a long time.
Among them, Elizabeth, played by Josie, can change her costume and hairstyle at any time according to her mood because of her ghost state. Therefore, the crew designed dozens of sets of looks and shot this part as a fashion film.
To be honest, every woman from the age of three to 99 has no resistance to this vulgar plot, just like the actor in the movie ridiculed: 'You have a shopping method that women all over the world dream of. '.
For this reason, the crew directly contacted "Vogue" and made a magazine for August next year - "Like Paradise" has been scheduled for summer - the cover is still "Josie Horton", and there is even an exclusive interview on the inside page .
Josie almost completed a whole day's work in a frantic change of clothes, and Jim, the male protagonist, was used as a background board. The only shot with a few lines was not enough time for her to change her look.
So after work was over, the heroine was so exhausted that she lay on the big bed in the hotel, but the hero, as if nothing had happened, came over to ask her if she needed an exclusive foot-pinching service.
"It's so cold, what is it?" Josie asked.
"Swelling ointment," said Jim.
During filming in the afternoon, he noticed that Josie's heels were severely worn, and he asked for this "magic tool" from the make-up artist of the crew.
He rubbed ice-cold ointment on Josie's heels, then put her calf on his thigh, and slowly massaged along the calf, with skillful techniques and just the right strength.
Josie was very comfortable, and she praised sincerely: "Wow, I don't think this is what I can enjoy without paying."
Jim laughed and kept moving his hands, "I practiced swimming for a few years when I was young, and learned a little fur from a nurse."
"No wonder you swim so well." Josie sighed, "Your figure is also good, with broad shoulders and a thin waist, and even the muscles are properly streamlined. It looks like a beautiful inverted triangle."
Jim was ashamed by her compliments.
In fact, he has not trained for this sport for a long time, and almost returned his skills and physical fitness to the teacher. At most, the swimming strokes that formed muscle memory are somewhat more beautiful than others.
Oh, is he looking for a chance to pick up swimming and build muscle along the way?
After all, she looks like she likes it very much.
And every time he saw the beautiful lines of Josie's arms, back, and waist, Jim felt a little fascinated.
More than that.
Her own self-discipline and concentration may be even more charming. Jim even felt that no matter she was reading scripts, financial statements, or cartoons on TV, the expression on her face made him never get tired of it. It was so flawless. cute.
