She dominates the entertainment industry with her disaster system

Su Lingxi chuckled and nodded, not being distracted by the conversation, still staring at the moving figures in the film.

Evelyn endured her husband's bland sarcasm as usual, and only dialed the number again after Daryl left the house. She looked like a bird with nowhere to land, lonely and confused, and hesitant to make any decision.

"Hello? Are you ready? I'll pick you up at 2:30..."

Charlotte’s lazy voice came from the microphone, and Evelin seemed to have a backbone all of a sudden, and even her eyes lit up, “Where are we going?”

"Into the mountains. Be sure to bring some warm clothes, it might be cold there."

"okay, I get it."

"Uh-huh, see you later."

The camera flips, Charlotte hangs up the phone, takes off her uniform, and walks briskly onto the street - only when she is extremely happy does she look like a carefree young girl.

After a while, she smiled and got into an old blue Thunderbird, apparently intending to drive home.

What follows is another cross-cut similar to the beginning.

Evelyn, wearing a coat and with her hair full of curlers, was busy around the house like a fly, taking out a few summer dresses, then pouring a drawer of underwear into a box, and even putting in a black pistol.

Then, the scene changes to Charlotte's room. She is packing items into a small leather suitcase as swiftly as a soldier. After packing the suitcase, she looks around the room carefully. Then she goes into the kitchen and carefully washes the newly bought glasses with a focused and serious expression.

It is obvious that this cross-cutting of packing is intended to further highlight the differences between the two characters and ensure that the characters are deepened before the official plot begins.

A character that is too thin will make it difficult for the audience to feel involved.

As a director who has won two Oscars, Li Shuo obviously understands this principle better than Su Lingxi.

Soon, Charlotte drove the old Thunderbird to pick up Evelyn, who was carrying a lot of luggage, and the leisurely journey belonging to this pair of close friends officially began.

However, things did not go as planned. After a series of discussions about guns, Daryl, marriage and family, the two arrived at the "Silver Arrow" restaurant. Evelyn, who was drunk, allowed herself to flirt with Jeff, but she accidentally went too far and was almost assaulted by him.

Charlotte arrived in time to save her girlfriend, but in a fit of rage she shot and killed Jeff - here, Li Shuo used the technique of psychological montage, hinting at Charlotte's unusual psychological activities at the moment with an abruptly inserted flash of thought.

What had she been through? Why did she feel such a strong sense of rebellion against Jeff's behavior?

Li Shuo left these mysteries but deliberately did not answer them, continuing the narrative at a normal pace.

While Charlotte and Evelyn were still arguing in the cafe about where to go next, Jeff's body had been put into a plastic bag by the police, and Detective Hal naturally noticed these two women who looked a little suspicious.

Out of consideration for the case, his boss and he unanimously decided to notify the investigation team and report the situation to the FBI.

At this moment, Charlotte, who was driving on the road, had not yet realized that she had been targeted by the police.

Before my eyes was the vast expanse of road, green grass, and a sky full of colorful clouds, which was a spectacular sight. Even the faint fragrance in the air made one feel happy.

"We're going to Oklahoma? Have you talked to Jimmy? Tell him everything?" Evelyn struggled with the contradiction for a long time, but couldn't help asking.

Her tone was timid, as if she was afraid that her girlfriend would get angry again because of these questions.

"I didn't say anything. If you call Daryl, don't say anything." Charlotte held the steering wheel with one hand and used the other hand to push up the sunglasses on her nose. "That guy always believes everything he hears."

When she heard her husband's name, a hint of unnaturalness flashed across Evelin's face.

"I called him at four in the evening... He wasn't home." She paused, and after a moment mustered up the courage to speak her mind, "So I don't understand why he's mad at me? He's the one who's not coming home, so I should be mad at him."

Charlotte tilted her head to look at her and was silent for a moment, thoughtful.

"I'm going to Mexico. The journey will take about two and a half days, but I'll get there. What about you? Have you figured out what to do next?"

The two of them quarreled, but their feelings could not be broken - no matter what happened, Charlotte still cared about her friend Evelyn the most.

However, Evelin instantly became uneasy because of her question, looking at her in confusion, her eyelids trembling slightly.

Having lived under the suppression of her husband for more than twenty years, she is not used to making her own decisions.

Charlotte was furious when she saw her girlfriend's hesitation. She rubbed her face and said sternly, "Every time we get into trouble, you become confused or pretend to know nothing. But now everything has changed. If we can't deal with this crisis well, we may end up together. I'm desperate, and so are you, so we must make up our minds!"

Evelin’s hands trembled, and her expression was still at a loss, as innocent as a newborn baby.

The furious girlfriend stared at her for a long time, and finally gave in, "You idiot... I'll go to Mexico alone."

Evelin lowered her head in frustration, her face full of disappointment.

Outside the screen, Su Lingxi quietly watched Sigourney's performance in the film, her eyes full of admiration: Sigourney perfectly grasped Evelyn's personality traits, and with the experience of a middle-aged woman in her 40s, she performed the innocent and pure temperament of the character itself - her acting skills are so delicate that even the corners of her eyes and eyebrows are full of drama, and every change in micro-expression allows the audience to get closer to the character's understanding - from "ordinary housewife", "housewife who is not loved by her husband and endures oppression all year round", to "housewife who endures patriarchal oppression all year round, simple-minded and ignorant, occasionally rebellious, and occasionally hesitant", the richness of her roles has been increasing.

We have to admit that the level of Oscar-winning actresses is indeed extraordinary.

She is indeed lucky enough to be able to work with such a master actor as soon as she arrived in Hollywood.

Thinking of this, Su Lingxi looked at Sigourney and praised softly, "Great acting."

"It's just a normal performance. The next part is your acting show." Sigourney replied calmly.

But Su Lingxi was familiar with her, so she could naturally hear that she was quite happy with the compliment.
