Hollywood Rhapsody

A week later, Sarah met Erin, who was waiting to be executed. This was the first time in her two lives that she sat with the murderer, especially the murderer who committed a series of crimes and took the lives of seven people.On the way there, it was false that Sarah was not nervous, but when she really saw Irene, the nervousness in her heart disappeared miraculously!There is no reason for her. This woman who is waiting for death does not look vicious at all.Many people said that those who have killed people will have murderous looks in their eyes. This woman has killed seven people, but at this moment Sarah can only see one word on her body-peace.She has no fear of death, nor remorse for past crimes.He just sat there calmly, watched them come in calmly, looked Sarah up and down calmly, and said the first words they met: "I don't think you, a little girl, can play me."

On the way here, Sarah and Michael even discussed how to make the condemned prisoner speak and how to formally communicate with her, because she knew that she was about to die, and maybe she was not in the mood to talk to anyone, but she did not expect to meet the first person who spoke. It was Erin.

This sentence was obviously addressed to Sarah. Michael and Christopher Hampton were taken aback when they heard the words. Sarah was equally surprised, but she quickly showed a peaceful and friendly smile and asked Irene: "Then why do you still Promise to meet us?"

"I read your report in the newspaper, and I have never dealt with a movie star in my life, so..." Irene pursed her lips, which seemed to be her habitual action, her cheeks were slightly fat, her skin was rough, and her lips were pursed Sometimes the corners of the mouth on both sides will be turned down, looking like a dejected face, as if he is numb to everything.

The meaning in her words seemed to be just to see Sarah, a star, gain a lot of knowledge, and to take a fresh look.But Sarah didn't feel displeased at all because of these words. Irene knew that the purpose of their trip was to shoot a movie about her. Since they agreed to meet, they were more or less interested. The person spoke with some thorns... Sarah pursed her lips, her eyes were neither pitiful nor sympathetic, and she just calmly looked at the condemned prisoner in front of her, and said frankly: "I don't want to express my sympathy or pity to you, I just wanted to visit you, simply to visit."

Not sympathetic?No mercy?Simple visit?This information also exceeded Irene's expectations. She thought that the beautiful girl in front of her would interview her like those boring reporters, digging out her bitter past, just like a fly smelling a fishy smell, thinking about it all the time. She was disgusted by the disgusting behavior of drilling into this carrion of hers, digging out the softest and only preserved piece of fresh blood, especially those reporters who clearly looked down on her. Pretending to be sympathetic made her feel so sick that she wanted to vomit on them.But... the young girl in front of her said no pity to her, it seems impolite to say no pity to a dying person, right?After all, she was going to die...

Irene frowned, she hadn't frowned for a long time, since the death sentence was pronounced, she didn't even have the interest to frown, but she was slightly displeased by Sarah's words, but at the same time, she also raised a little bit Interested, she knows what this girl is looking for her for, just like those reporters!But since you want to get out of her mouth, why don't you say something nice to please her?Like those disgusting reporters who hovered over her head like vultures excitedly while she was still alive, celebrating her impending death.

"This visit is very presumptuous, Irene. If you feel that my question offends you, you can refuse to answer... Life owes you, and you choose to end it all in a tragic way. It's a pity, those who were killed People, do you think they should all be killed?" There was a faint question in Sarah's eyes, and if she said the same thing, another person might mean to condemn Irene, but there was no extra emotion in Sarah's tone, and she didn't even wait for Aileen. Lin replied, and then continued on her own, "I'm not qualified to judge, but if you don't regret it, I will act more confidently when I perform."

Her tone was serious, as if she was discussing with Irene how to handle a play, and it had nothing to do with murder.She didn't care whether the serial murder violated public morality or whether it would be punished by law, she only cared about Irene's own attitude.Michael and Christopher Hampton, who were sitting on the side, couldn't help but widen their eyes when they heard the words. Although they didn't speak, their eyes flashed disbelief. What did Sarah's words mean?Is she telling Erin that killing people is right?Is there nothing wrong with taking seven innocent lives in a row?Michael began to consider taking over the initiative of the conversation. The words here will not be recorded, will they?If it gets out, it won't do Sarah any good.But Irene only looked at Sarah from the beginning, and was only interested in Sarah. What if they interrupted the conversation between the two of them, and Irene kept silent and patted their butts and left?

"Will you act out the real me? If I kill people for fun, will you do the same? If I'm a pervert, will you play a pervert too? I heard you study psychology, Harvard University A talented graduate, so... are you using some advanced psychological techniques to trick me?" Irene's tone was a little aggressive, and the expression on her fat face became more and more lively. She looked a little fierce, and she was punished for using small Trick girl, that looks like if Sarah doesn't answer well, the next second she will rush up and kill Sarah!But there was obvious curiosity in her eyes. She had never come into contact with an "interviewer" like Sarah, and she was said to be a very famous star at the same time!Is this the difference between a big star and a reporter?

"Yes, I'm trying to trick you. It's all about the movie." Sarah continued to answer unexpectedly, and Sarah's attitude was too candid. Waste every minute here."

Sarah's tone was sincere. Although she was a Hollywood movie star, Irene's time was of course more precious than the death row inmate who lived one day less.

However, Irene sneered at her words: "My time is precious? How can it be compared to you, a Hollywood movie star? The outfit you wear at the awards ceremony is enough to spend my whole life. You are more expensive than me in one minute." It’s worth more every day.”

Measure time in money?Because Erin cares about money stuff!

Sarah smiled, and did not deny that she had deliberately learned about Irene's growth experience. Her life was doomed that she might have a hatred for the rich, and Sarah, an actress who was envied by almost all girls in the United States, had no The question is the rich class she hates, the successful people she hates, and just now when she said the words of Harvard University's top students, her tone was full of blunt disdain, and Sarah realized that perhaps Irene still yearned to be accepted Higher education, because of the low level of education, has been unhappy.

Sarah looked at the indifferent Irene, and when she opened her mouth again, she seemed to have nothing to do with Irene. Speaking of death in front of a condemned prisoner might be a stupid decision, but Sarah still chose to use this as the starting point : "If you have read the reports about me, I wonder if you have paid attention to a few years ago, I almost died in the flood, and I had a brush with death."

"..." The corner of Irene's mouth curled down again. She didn't know why Sarah changed the subject, but she responded with a soft snort.

"At that time, I thought I was really going to die, and my consciousness became chaotic. I even began to imagine whether I would see angels? Or Satan? But... none of them, my world became a quiet, vague consciousness suddenly very, very lucid and at that moment, my short life was in front of me, like a fast rewind movie. It felt terrible, I could feel time, life, everything, including the whole world abandoning me , and I tried my best to reach out and grab something, but in the end it was completely dark, probably, that was the feeling that death was about to come."

Sarah recalled quietly, her tone was flat, without the slightest fear, and she did not feel lucky to survive the catastrophe. She looked directly at Irene, as if she was whispering to her closest friend: "I saw the death of an early death. My mother, my father who was drinking and waiting to die, and myself who once gave up on myself, but before I fell into the final darkness, the last thought that crossed my mind..." Sarah stopped talking, she shook her head lightly to herself, It seems that the thought should not be spoken out.

"What is it?" Irene asked almost subconsciously. As a person who is about to die, she was indeed interested in this question. She was quietly waiting to die alone, and no one discussed with her what it feels like to die. .

"I probably didn't eat or drink for several days at that time, and I was soaked in water for too long so I was unconscious. Looking back now, I also find it incredible, because I was thinking at the time, 'I didn't live in vain, even if I die, there will be a lot People remember me, and there will be many people who will miss me!'Although I am so young, I already have my own biography, so am I more successful than many celebrities and rich people?".

Sarah laughed a little smugly. Irene was stunned for two seconds, and a smile appeared on her calm face for the first time. She even shook her head with a broken smile, as if she had seen through Sarah: "What do you say? Wanting to pry my mouth open and dissect my inner monologue, it has come full circle.”

"Yes, the purpose of my coming here has never changed, and every word I said is to achieve this purpose. But there is not a single lie in what I just said, those are indeed my true feelings when I almost died." Sarah smiled frankly, and treated Irene as naturally as a friend, "I want to make this movie, and what I can promise you is that I will not make any judgments on whether your life is successful or not. , I will restore you to the greatest extent——your experiences and ideas, what you care about the most, whether you have ever had happiness, and tell me what you want the audience to see. What I can also guarantee is that I shoot There must be many, many people watching my movie. There will be theaters all over the United States and the world showing my movie, and because of this movie, they will know who you are, know your story, know who you are, whether you are a murderer , or a lunatic who is desperate for love, they will all remember you and your name."

Sarah didn't speak fast. She noticed the changes in Irene's expression. This woman who was struggling at the bottom of her life was not as indifferent as she appeared on the surface. She ignored the world because the world abandoned her first.The most "successful" thing she did in her life was probably killing seven men, but maybe she didn't want to live in such a failure, who likes to fail?Being able to agree to meet Sarah today means that she is interested in making her own story into a movie, and maybe she still has a small expectation in her heart, but she is born with Sarah and Michael. There is hostility, so she does not cooperate, and denies Sarah as soon as she comes up.However, after such a long conversation, Sarah has gotten to know her better after doing enough homework. Sarah offered a tempting offer. The past "achievements" are in front of you.

Sarah saw the looseness on Irene's expression. She couldn't tell what mood she was in at the moment. She analyzed Irene's psychology, and now she guessed right, but she didn't feel the slightest bit of complacency. She looked at Irene with complicated eyes , when he spoke again, his tone was gentle and serious, like a promise: "This is what I can do, record you with a movie, you can use this movie as a commemoration of you, or as a way to extend your life. Those People in suits and leather shoes can get a lot of salary every month, and drive sports cars and spend money like water. When they die, they will die. No one will remember you, but someone will remember you. Whether they agree with you or condemn you, at least they Remembering you...through my movies."

Compassion, pity or comfort are empty words for a dying person, but for Irene who has nothing to worry about, what else can she use to impress her?Unless, the court can change the sentence to give her life, but Sarah doesn't have this ability, the only thing she can do is to make movies.

"A priest came to listen to my confession, but I think it's all nonsense. None of the words about the blessings of the next life and the redemption of this life are useful. They are all nonsense! As you said, there are no angels or devils, Satan, death If you die, they will die. Their recitation of the Bible is not as good as what you just said." Irene showed a contemptuous expression, dismissing the priests arranged by the prison, but at this moment, she looked at Sarah, her eyes began to With light, "Is your movie really seen by many people? People all over the world?"

"Yes, many, many people. If you read the newspapers, you will know that I am a very famous person. Not only in the United States, but even in distant China, there are many people who love to watch my movies." Sarah nodded with a smile , She is not telling lies, now she does have many, many fans from all over the world, and the letters she receives from fans are filled with all kinds of languages.

Irene looked at the unknown distance. She didn't know where China was at all, but she knew that it was indeed a very distant country.At this moment, Sarah saw a trace of longing and a sense of accomplishment in Irene's eyes. This sense of accomplishment may seem unreasonable and childish to ordinary people, but Sarah's nose couldn't help feeling a little sour. She was extremely glad that she noticed the news about Irene at the airport, and she was even more glad that she had gone through this experience.

The face-to-face conversation with Irene made her realize that the murderer who carried seven lives on her back was not as vicious as the public imagined. Her eyes were even simpler than many ordinary people. When it came to personally identifying her lover in court , there was not even hatred in her eyes, no anger of being betrayed, but very gentle, even the corners of her mouth that had been slouching were slightly raised.

Seeing Irene like this, Sarah felt that she should be able to make this movie well, and no matter how much information she read, it was not as useful as confronting the person involved.Of course, the prerequisite for the success of the movie is that the screenwriter Mr. Christopher Hampton can create a good enough script.

Sarah, as a junior, faced this senior who had won Oscars, BAFTAs, was nominated for the Cannes Palme d'Or, won the Cannes Jury Special Award and many trade union awards, so she could only humbly ask for advice and wait obediently Watching the other party finish the script, during this period, she also occasionally raised some of her own opinions. The interpretation of the character of Irene is the key to the creation of the film. What is the theme of the film?Is good and evil always rewarded?Is it the modus operandi of a serial murder case?

no!of course not!After the conversation with Irene, both Sarah and Christopher Hampton are more inclined to show the sad social reality and show the change of Irene, a woman's attitude towards life-this woman was once angry because of the injustice of fate , also had the idea of ​​committing suicide because of the hardships of life. Like all ordinary people, she yearned for beautiful love and a carefree and happy life. She also tried to be an ordinary person with a normal job. Unfortunately, she Finally embarked on a road of no return.

The script is still being created, and Christopher Hampton attaches great importance to this work. He is also an emotional person. He once expressed on the phone that he hoped to finish the script before Irene was executed. He wanted Irene to see with her own eyes. s story.Sarah felt that this might be very difficult, because it was only a month away from that day, so it was difficult to complete a script in such a short period of time, right?Su's script has been written for two or three years and still needs to be revised. Many scripts in Hollywood have to go through years of hard work.

However, perhaps it was Irene's life that touched Christopher Hampton so much that he actually finished writing the script in less than a month!It's just that he didn't hand over the script to Sarah himself.When Sarah was wearing a dressing gown and opened the door to welcome Leonardo in, she didn't expect that this man would bring her script that she was thinking about and was supposed to be still being written, and the other party handed the script to him, who was still a little unsure. Sarah, who woke up, stretched her long arm around her waist——

"What should I do? I regret recommending Christopher Hampton to you!"

The author has something to say: The stupid author has watched "The Devil" twice. This kind of movie based on real people and real events makes people feel depressed after watching it. Therefore, those who are interested can watch it. Text is fine.

[WWII version of Romeo and Juliet] will not start filming immediately. From the script to the start of filming, it will take a long period for a large production.As the second original film of a stupid author, hehehe, love elegy in the chaos of war, ah!You need to check the information carefully to see what plots you can arrange for the movie... If you have ideas, you can also leave a message to Dai Linha

So before this love war movie is released, the two will have a real reunion, guess which one?
