"Lan Li, Lan Li?"

A shout came from the direction of the passenger seat, Lan Li didn't turn his head, just from the sound of recognition, he knew that it was Nathan coming. Updates are fast and ad-free.

"Lan Li, are you okay?" Nathan's voice was anxious and worried, but he could hear that he was trying to calm himself, but judging from the trembling voice with a faint hint of crying, he still needed to continue cultivating.

Looking at Lan Li in front of him, Nathan was like an ant on a hot pot, but he was helpless.

This is just his second work as Lan Li's assistant, not to mention, he was originally an assistant rookie. However, during the filming of "Fast and Exciting / Love 5" not long ago, he experienced a lot of winds and waves and grew up quickly, and this time the early stage of the filming of "I Fight Cancer" was not all smooth sailing, and since the first day, he has been in trouble one after another.

Nathan is learning hard and adapting quickly to his job.

After the filming was interrupted just now, the crew immediately got busy preparing for the next second round of shooting; on the other hand, Lan Li was still sitting in the driver's seat and did not move, but on the surface, Lan Li was peaceful, there were no problems, and everyone naturally did not express concern.

But Nathan sensed something was wrong. He knew Lan Li, and in between filming, Lan Li didn't ask for a script, didn't ask for water, and didn't ask to watch the playback, which was not normal, too abnormal.

Nathan realized that he should go up and check the situation. But he hesitated. If Lan Li is pondering the role, if Lan Li is reminiscing about the performance, if Lan Li is accumulating energy for the next scene, his stepping forward will inevitably interrupt Lan Li's work rhythm, which will be self-defeating.

In the end, Nathan stepped forward and carefully opened the door, keeping the noise as low as possible. But after seeing Lan Li up close, Nathan was frightened.

Lan Li's body was extremely stiff, the green tendons were protruding, and his expression was calm, but sweat was faintly oozing from his back, his fingertips trembled uncontrollably slightly, and even his lips seemed to become pale. Obviously, Lan Li was suffering a great deal of pain, even if he gritted his teeth, even if he was extremely tight, he couldn't bear it.

Nathan is at a loss, he wants to help, but he doesn't know where to start. He raised his right hand and tried to pat Lan Li's shoulder, but before he could fall, he stiffened, if his rash actions made Lan Li fall into a greater disaster, what should he do?

Taking a deep breath, Nathan forced himself to take a deep breath to calm down, the panic at this moment will only help.

"Lan Li, do you need me to call an ambulance? or call your personal doctor?" Nathan's voice was still trembling slightly, but he still tried to keep his thoughts clear, staring intently at Lan Li's side face.

The well-defined facial lines tightened at this time, and a slight bead of sweat could be faintly seen on the forehead and eyebrows, and the face was pale and transparent, as if the blood color was fading little by little. In the face of Nathan's inquiry, Lan Li didn't respond much, and his expression was the same as always, but Nathan was not in a hurry and kept asking patiently.

"Do you need to get Jonathan to pause the shooting, give you some break?" Nathan was in a hurry, but he had to force himself to slow down and ask slowly, "Or ...... Do you need a cigarette?" It was a complete rush of thought, Nathan remembered that Lan Li always had a habit of holding a cigarette when he was thinking, or when he was anxious, and he wouldn't light it.

Then, Nathan saw Lan Li's eyelids slowly close, and agreed.

"Good. Good. Nathan nodded in agreement, lowered his head and took out the cigarette case from his pocket, because of Lan Li's habit, he now carries cigarettes with him. But because he was too nervous and too urgent, his fingers seemed to be a little uncontrollable, and he tried twice but could not take out the cigarette case, and then he heard a soft sneer.

It's very slight, like the sound of dead leaves falling.

But in Nathan's ears, it exploded like thunder, and he raised his head suddenly, and then he saw Lan Li turn his head, with an almost invisible smile on the corner of his mouth, looking at him playfully, with a faint mockery in his eyes.

Nathan suddenly felt a moistness in his eyes, and he lowered his head in embarrassment, rubbed his eyes vigorously, and then chuckled in relief, "Sorry, always clumsy." On the third attempt, he finally took out the cigarette case, then took out one and handed it to Lan Li.

Lan Li slowly raised his right hand, and his movements were extremely slow, as if even this small movement was suffering from great pain. Nathan took the initiative to put the cigarette between Lan Li's fingers, and then watched Lan Li put the cigarette to his mouth, and picked it up, a slightly frowning brow flashed a look of comfort, and the painful struggle gradually dissipated.

"Lan Li, do you want to let Jonathan pause for a while, you have a good rest first. In fact, what Nathan was thinking in his mind was that tonight's shooting was over, and Lan Li's state really didn't look good. But he knew that Lan Li would not agree.

"No, I don't. Lan Li rejected his proposal, his hoarse voice was stained with a hint of Seattle's late-night moisture, and it seemed that the whole person had finally relieved himself, "I'm just reminiscing about the performance just now." ”

The smell of tobacco between the lips and teeth is not strong, just like smoke wrapping around the fingertips and nose, but it gradually relaxes the tense nerves. People are always prone to become dependent on external things, such as drugs, alcohol, and tobacco, because in that brief moment, reality can be forgotten for a while.

But for Lan Li, it is to wake up to reality and remind him that this is a new life, different from the last time. What he needs is not paralysis and escape.

"Acting is a magical thing, right?" Lan Li said with a smile, you can experience a life that you have never experienced before, and you can also experience a life that you have really experienced. It's like traveling through a time tunnel, reliving history, analyzing the present, looking to the future, traveling between different characters, and finally re-examining yourself.

Nathan opened his mouth, but he didn't know how to answer, his mind went blank, and he could only tell the truth bluntly, "I don't know." I'm not an actor, and I can't be an actor. But I know that not any actor can be as good as you. ”

The curvature of Lan Li's mouth rose slightly, "Are you serious, or is it because you are my assistant?"

Originally, Lan Li was just joking, but Nathan took it seriously, waved his hand in a panic, sat up straight, and emphasized, "Seriously, of course it's serious! I mean it!" There was still countless evidence in his mind that he wanted to express, but the words were stuck, and he couldn't say a word, and finally he could only repeat it again, "It couldn't be more serious." ”

Such a pale and weak defense made Nathan very helpless, and he drooped his shoulders with a frustrated face.

This made Lan Li laugh in a low voice, "Thank you." ”

He's not sure if he's a great actor, but he's pretty sure that at least he's a dedicated actor and is trying to be great, even outstanding. That's enough.

Even Lan Li himself didn't expect that such a light comedy sketch as "Me Fighting Cancer" would actually benefit him a lot. For Lan Li, the role of Adam may not be the most difficult role in his career, but it is definitely a role that has an important turning point on the road to acting.

Lan Li felt lucky to have met Adam. Luckily, Andy brought the character to him.

If he had to do it all over again, go through all the pain just now, and go through all the pain during the filming of "Fighting Cancer" again, he would still nod his head firmly in agreement.

"I was ready and told Jonathan that it was time to continue filming. Lan Li came back to his senses, took the cigarette off the corner of his mouth, and spoke.

Nathan didn't immediately nod in agreement, but took a serious look at Lan Li, his tense and gloomy expression was a little sparse, but it was still not very good-looking, but those eyes like a vast starry sky were glowing again, which made the big stone on Nathan's chest fall.

"By the way, what's the matter with the interruption of filming just now?" Lan Li suddenly remembered this, he had been immersed in his thoughts just now, and completely lost his ability to accept information from the outside world, "Is it because my performance is not good enough? Does Jonathan have any requirements? My performance rhythm problem? Or is the intensity too heavy?"

"......" Nathan opened his mouth and looked at Lan Li with a serious face in front of him, he knew that Lan Li was not joking, he was really self-examining. Even after experiencing everything just now, for Lan Li, performance is still the first, strict self-requirements, and will never relax.

Thinking of this, the sighs, appreciation, and surprise in my heart swallowed my stomach, and all the words turned into a simple sentence, "No, it's not because of you." ”

Lan Li clearly retracted his jaw, but did not retract his gaze, and Nathan immediately understood, and then added, "There was a little problem with Anna's dialogue, which caused the filming to be interrupted. ”

Not to hold anyone accountable, but to stay on top of the filming of the whole scene.

Although it is said that acting is a person's business, you can't interfere with the performance of the other party, you can only focus on your own performance and invest in your own world, but in the process of performance, you also need to consider all aspects of the comprehensive factors, lighting, camera position, angle, etc., and of course, the opponent actors. Only by having a clear understanding of the big picture can you ensure that your performance is on the right path.

Lan Li nodded to show that he understood, which showed that the rhythm of his performance was correct and the direction was also correct. No adjustments are required.

"Okay, I got it. Lan Li retracted his gaze, adjusted his breathing, and resettled himself, ready to be shot again.

Nathan knew he should leave, and then asked the director and the show to reshoot whether to resume filming from the left off or to start the whole scene. It was his job, but he still looked at Lan Li worriedly, and asked again uncertainly, "Lan Li, are you sure you don't need to rest?"

Lan Li didn't turn his head, but the corners of his mouth rose slightly, "Of course." Can't wait. ”

"Fighting Cancer" is nearing the end, and he will cherish the opportunity to perform in every scene. Every single one.
