King of Hollywood

"Lyon? Leon?" The trembling girl crawled up from the back of the sofa chewing her tears. The room was already a mess, and the red slender light that was characteristic of the sniper rifle swept back and forth.

Crouching in the corner holding a pistol with a silencer, Leon took a breath, and gestured to Matilda to come over. Until now, he still holds the pot of evergreen in his arms and refuses to throw it away. Matilda crawled over from under the window, shivering in Leon's arms. Leon patted her body comfortingly, and then led her into the kitchen.

After struggling to remove the refrigerator and throw it outside the living room, Leon began to do things that Matilda couldn't understand.

"What are we going to do now?" Matilda, who was hiding in the corner, asked anxiously.

"Don't worry, I'll take care of it." Leon's tone was as calm as before, and then he lifted the table and shot at the fan at the exhaust vent, and finally swung his ax towards the wall. One time, two times, three times, he swung the ax continuously, and while the gravel was splashing, he finally cut a big hole in the exhaust port.

"Very good." Adrian, who was sitting in the chair, patted his hands lightly twice, and it was obvious that he was very satisfied with these shots.

Natalie, who was originally huddled behind the corner, breathed a sigh of relief, stood up and patted the dust on her body. Today, she has completed about 20 shots, which is not bad for a crew that has just finished rest. But Natalie is not satisfied with her performance. There is still a big gap between her state today and her smoothest time. Some scenes can be shot at once, but they have to be NGed two or three times.

Natalie, who I have clearly adjusted, thought a little unconvinced in her heart, looked at Adrian who started teasing the little guy in her arms after shouting, and felt a little irritated in her heart for no reason. Step over.

"How?" she asked.

Adrian, who raised his head when he heard the sound, was stunned for a moment, and then laughed: "Yes, you performed very well today, Nada, after so many days of rest, it always pays off."

After ignoring Natalie's expression of "then continue to shoot", he continued to play with Emma.

Natalie gritted her teeth, and finally asked, "Can't we continue filming?"

"No, I don't need it today, save it until tomorrow," Adrian waved his hand, as if realizing what she wanted to say, he then added: "Anyway, the setting of the kitchen is very simple to make, I don't think Your current state is suitable for shooting this segment, Nada, so continue to rest well, and after shooting those few daily shots, I will send you back."

She reached out and rubbed her face. Seeing that Adrian had made a decision and it was impossible to change it, Natalie had no choice but to walk out sullenly, sat down on her chair and sulked alone.

What is being filmed now is the last scene where Matilda and Leon parted ways. Before that, several special police scenes were added to capture Matilda. Although Adrian filmed this hot action scene at the beginning, he did not continue to make the following emotional scenes because Natalie was not enough to express that feeling.

Well, she admits that this is her first time making a movie, and it is really not easy to fully understand the inner world of the character in a short period of time, but after such a long time, her eye-catching performance has also won everyone's praise I agree, so why not try to shoot this part?

Even... because of the previous incident... it has been adjusted now, can't it even be a test shoot? Annoyed, Natalie unconsciously squeezed the paper cup in her hand slowly, and didn't react until the little drops of water left in it splashed into her hand due to squeezing.

Hell, damn it, Ed, it's all your fault. Natalie threw the cup into the trash can and wiped the back of her hand in annoyance. She didn't think it was strange to blame Adrian for this. In fact, she has become a little crazy now, even if she sees a child fall on the street, she will think it is Adrian's fault.

Although when he first arrived on the set, Adrian didn't tell her why the reporters outside were chasing him, and the people in the crew chose to avoid her insinuations, even Renault, who had a good relationship, just laughed and said nothing. language, but Natalie still guessed something.

She could hear the name "Julia" clearly, and the reporters were so motivating, and Adrian was a little surprised that she hadn't watched entertainment news during this period, and the crew She hesitated to speak, she must be a fool if she couldn't figure it out.

But she clearly remembered that it was Monica Bellucci, the heroine of "Delicious Love", who had a moment of passion with Adrian in the bathroom, so why did she become another person? So... Natalie suddenly covered her face and rubbed it for a while, then quickly found a paper cup, poured a large glass of cold water and poured it down.

I hate it, I hate thinking about those things. Don't let that damn image come out of my head again, Natalie thought through gritted teeth, and she felt a bit of peace after drinking three full glasses. Gathering her mind, she turned around and was about to touch up her makeup to continue, but she stopped after taking a step.

Natalie looked around in disbelief. She didn't know when the people had disappeared, and she, who was immersed in her own world, didn't notice anything. The inside and outside of the room are quiet, there is no sound at all, the dim light comes in from the outside, and it is indescribably weird when it shines on the somewhat dirty floor.

"Is anyone there?" The girl tried to call out, but there was no response. She couldn't help frowning, walked carefully to the door of the room, stretched out her hand and pushed open the half-closed door, and was shocked again.

Not only is there no one in the outside room like the inside, but all the equipment that should have been placed everywhere has also disappeared. There are only shelves with hanging lights, recording microphones, cameras, etc., and there is only a messy floor.

"This is... what's going on?" An inexplicable sense of fear welled up in the girl's heart. How could so many people and so many props suddenly disappear without a trace?

"Is anyone there?" Natalie tried to call again, but she still didn't answer. Unknowingly, she had already folded her arms around her chest, and the anxious expression on her face became much more obvious.

"It's not fun to come out if there's someone there," Natalie suddenly raised her voice, the anxiety was clear, she was just a 12-year-old girl anyway.

Suddenly, the sound of bang bang sounded endlessly, and at the same time, it was mixed with a cheerful cry: "Surprise!"

Natalie, who was already a little nervous, screamed immediately, but was enveloped in colorful ribbons and many pieces of paper after being sprayed out.

"This is... this is..." The girl grasped these things with her mouth wide open, and looked at the people who suddenly appeared around her with smiles and applauded her in a daze, including not only all the crew members, but also Renault and the actors. Among them, even Gary Oldman, who would not report to the crew again in a few days, also came.

"Happy birthday, Nada." Adrian also clapped his hands and hugged Emma and walked out of the crowd. He looked at her and said with a smile, "I hope you like this surprise."

"You mean...you mean...this is..." Natalie's expression turned into shock, and she finally remembered that today should be her 12th birthday, and she had almost forgotten all about it .

"Yes, my dear, Ed specially prepared a birthday party for you." Shelly also came out at this time, and came to her daughter with a smile, and Ai Lian swept away the shredded paper and ribbons sprinkled on her head.

"It took him a long time to get us to agree." Evner walked over after him.

"Oh, thank you, thank you, Mom, Dad." Natalie hugged her parents emotionally, which immediately attracted another round of applause.

Adrian, who was holding Emma, ​​coughed lightly at the side. The girl who had separated from her parents glanced at him, and then ran to shake hands or hug other people to express her gratitude. The assistant director went to Reynolds, Oldman, and even Charlize, but he just ignored Adrian who was standing in the middle of the room, and he did it very deliberately.

Faced with this situation, Adrian had no choice but to shrug his shoulders helplessly, and then everyone around him laughed. At this time, Natalie walked up to Adrian slowly, first showed a smile, and then when the other party showed the same smile and coughed dryly to speak, she suddenly punched him.

"Do you know how scared I was just now? Do you know how nervous I was just now? Did you create surprises like this?" Natalie cried angrily, waving her fists and pounding Adrian continuously, half-truth The fake appearance once again attracted a lot of laughter, including Shelly. Although Evner frowned, he also shook his head with a smile.

Adrian could neither dodge nor talk, so he had to stand there with his eyes rolled and let the girl beat him. He was obviously very depressed, because even Emma in his arms showed an unclear expression at the beginning, and then immediately disappeared. He clapped his hands and giggled gloatingly, matching the expression of Charlize nearby.

"Okay, okay, I should have vented enough." After receiving dozens of punches, Adrian said with a sigh.

Natalie, who was panting slightly, finally stopped her hands, and after still looking at him angrily, she suddenly lowered her head, and her face turned a little red again.

"It seems that Nada still realizes that she is wrong." Adrian joked immediately.

What does it mean to realize that one is wrong? The girl really wanted to refute him, but she didn't know what to say. She couldn't tell the other party. I blushed because...

Fortunately, Adrian interrupted the topic in time: "Okay, quickly bring the things up."

Immediately, an assistant came in with a cake, and the room became darker because the curtains were drawn, and then the singing of "Happy Birthday" rang out.

Seeing the floating little flame getting closer and closer to her, the feeling of excitement completely occupied Natalie's heart. ()
