Hollywood Domination Chapter 435: “Life Journey” (Part 2)

Yes, although the makeup and clothing have not changed much, only the hairstyle has changed, from the short hair of the girl to the long hair, and the stature seems to be taller, and the body size is also bigger than before It’s a bit bigger, but Coke’s temperament seems to have undergone a great change—it’s not completely reborn, and she’s a different person. You can still see some traces of Little Coke’s personality from her eyebrows, but Big Coke’s eyes and The temperament has matured a lot, and there are inheritances and differences, and it does look like a girl in her 20s, not a young woman, and not married. Although it is very mysterious to say this, but from Coke, Alan saw that single He could even feel her state of mind from Coke’s strolling posture: 20 years old may be coming to the end, Coke’s heart is a little depressed, so her shoulders drooped, it seems that her financial situation is worse than when she was a girl It has improved, but it is still not very well-off—the clothes fit well, but they are a bit old, like a girl who is trying her best to keep up with the fashion, but is always unable to do what she wants, and has let down her beauty and youth.

"This is a scene that echoes the opening scene," Alan nodded silently, "It's all based on acting to create a biography for a character, but Jennifer's difficulty is a bit more difficult than Heath... I can help There are not too many busy props.”

However, of course, Heath's performance should not be underestimated. When the camera returns to his face again, everyone can clearly see that his appearance has changed, and he seems to be a little older than before , and his clothes are more in line with the habits of the local people. He looks more like he is in his early forties, and the expression on his face clearly expresses his interest in and attraction to Coke—seeing him Walking towards Coke with a clear purpose, the camera gradually zoomed out, peeking at the scene of the two talking through the gaps in the leaves, the sunlight fell through the woods and fell to the ground, the whole scene looked beautiful, but the many traces of magic before have disappeared now Exhausted.

"Interesting..." Watching the movie, Mentos and Coke met again, once again took out US dollars and credit cards to pay for themselves, the two began to fall in love again, and when Mantos became more and more involved in the role, Jon is also completely invested in the plot. "Did you notice that this time he took out the same amount of money as last time, and after he ran out, he started to pull credit cards-I don't know if this is a metaphor for something."

"Well, if Coke is Mentos's projected self, this can be explained, maybe Mentos is now playing the lover he needs at every stage, just like Coke at 27 years old, she Already aware of her mediocrity, aware that her youth is passing away, she needs a savior, a protector, someone who will make her youth meaningful and free her from worrying about the future." Harry had already heard second-hand from Charles The 'projection theory' that was sold, "Anyway, it's an interesting story..."

40-year-old Mantos and 27-year-old Coke, the love between them is not as fresh and interesting as when they were 16 years old. Like poverty and poverty, they cannot be hidden. This kind of mature and real love with a very clear purpose, under the fantasy background of the whole story and embellished with special effects details from time to time, makes people full of interest. He was wondering whether Coke would also be the target of the crow attack this time. ——From time to time, news of crows attacking people can be heard, and Mantos even saw the scene of crows taking someone away across the street, which kept the sense of urgency of the story.

"So today as I was typing, Miss Suen came over and said: Coke, can you finish the report that Mr. Hamberg asked for first, and I said that's not your job? Then—" In front of the cafe at dusk, Coke and Mentos were chattering about their work. Although she was complaining, she kept smiling, and the intoxicated expression clearly showed her mood. , and Mentos looked at her with gentle eyes that made people ecstatic. The love between the two was clearly expressed, unlike those screen couples who didn't have enough chemistry but forced to get together to play a love scene. This scene made many audience members sigh slightly. "Oh--"

However, at this moment, with an ear-piercing croak, a crow that was bigger than before fluttered its wings and glided down from the sky, standing on the coffee table next to Coke and Mentos, with a clear goal Staring at the two, while the pedestrians and customers on one side dodged skillfully to one side - this is also a big phenomenon in the small town, everyone is insensitive to crows, the 16-year-old who was attacked for the first time in Coke, Mantos yelled for help from others, but the passers-by at best gave some limited help, and they would not come to help fight the crow together. Instead, it was more like letting it wreak havoc in the crowd, and whoever caught it counted.

"Oh my god! Oh my god!" Cola's face immediately showed panic, but compared with the first time when she was at a loss and didn't even resist, this time her awareness of self-preservation was higher. , Coke picked up the coffee and threw it at the crow, but it flicked its feathers to resist, "Mentos, Mentos——"

Compared to Mantos who was at a loss when he was 16 years old, evaded, asked the crowd for help, and finally pounced on him because of his humanity and conscience, now Mantos is undoubtedly more responsible, and it can be easily seen , his affection for Coke is also deeper than before, and the love between the two is more mature, unlike the shallow relationship at the age of 16 - he immediately swung his chair and threw it at the crow, attacking step by step .

"Oh! This special effect is well done!" Charles exclaimed, this kind of realistic and solid fighting is just what he likes, considering that the crow can only be produced by special effects, the chair sank into the crow's feathers, And beat it to a stagger, and then the crow flapped its wings to fight back, and the picture of feathers falling is so real and exquisite that people are moved. What made him even more excited was that even this kind of fight, Salvi shot it more beautifully than other audiences, unlike the big bad movie "Battle of the Gods", where even the special effects were shot so well. People dozed off while watching. In terms of scenes, this fight is of course inferior to those scenes of tens of thousands of people fighting, and it doesn’t have the excitement of those masters fighting each other. They all have the elegance of Salvi's characteristics, combined with the beautiful feathers of the crow, the weird beauty of this scene makes people feel refreshed, and there is a hearty feeling of joy in shooting. Charles has listed this section as a must-have in the future. A bridge that is rewatched over and over again. "Oh, Coke is here too - this kind of fighting that makes full use of everyday weapons and beasts... I don't know how to say it, it feels like a powerful and unconstrained style..."

Under the ferocious pecking of the crows, Mantos broke into the coffee shop, used Coke to lure the crows in, pulled their steam nozzles, and sprayed them fiercely at the crows. This wild and unconstrained trick finally succeeded He drove it away, but Coke was also carried by its wings at the same time, and he fell to the ground knowing his life or death. Mantos hurried to Coke and hugged her in his arms, his face was wrinkled, ugly, old and out of control, but no one would mind his expression, at least Alan would not, for Mantos In the scene of Toss showing his true feelings, he even felt slightly hot in his eyes—"At this moment, the crow is no longer a crow, maybe it represents all kinds of helplessness in life, and who can blame Mentos? This kind of vulnerability should be a common feeling of human beings..."

When Coke coughed and woke up leisurely, Mantos wept with joy. He bent down, hugged her and shook nervously. Amid the long-awaited concern of the surrounding crowd, the camera zoomed farther and farther away, And the next scene switched to Coke and Mentos talking about today's adventure in the apartment-Coke had obviously recovered from the fright, and she talked about the ugly state of Mantos when he was crying, and the way she comforted him. Work hard, and Mantos - his expression is a bit thoughtful, although he is also responding to Coke's joke, but judging from the expression on his peeking at Coke in the mirror, Mantos should have realized that , I really fell in love with Coke.

That night, Mantos woke up several times and looked at the sleeping Coke. He seemed to be making up his mind, but Coke knew nothing about it—the audience could also feel his contradiction , for Mantos, if everything is a play on the spot, he may be able to indulge in this way, but now, since he has truly realized the significance of Coke to himself, he has to explore the secrets of the town instead Otherwise, he will never be able to settle down with Coke, after all, he knows more than Coke after all.

When Coke, who knew nothing about it, started talking more and more about the future, "You know, maybe it's not unaffordable, maybe it's going to be remote for the first few years, but we're always going to get an upgrade What a—” At her voice, Mentos nodded absently, and he began to ask, “Seriously, do you ever want to go to other cities to see…”—He began to question the world details.

For such a question, Coke's answer seemed confused and vague. Of course, there are other towns in her world, but Coke just didn't know how to get there. Mantos, who followed her instructions and came to the carriage , it was no surprise that the road was damaged and the business was suspended, which made Mantos finally make up his mind.

"I've got to find out," he whispered to Coke as he put on his clothes when Coke fell asleep, "I've got to find out, Coke, what's going on with all this—geez, Can I take you back to London with me? Can I?"

He shook his head with a sullen face, finally bent down and kissed Coke, walked out of the apartment with a complicated expression, and walked towards the mysterious woods in the night—this time, there were no crows or unicorns, and he went smoothly I passed through the woods and came to the wilderness where the scenery is unusual and the starry sky is like velvet studded with diamonds...

"Well, as soon as I returned to the wilderness, the feeling of fantasy came back. When I was in the small town just now, the starry sky was still normal... If crows represent negative energy, then what do those magical creatures represent? Childlike innocence? The good side of life? Something that fades with age?" Harry speculated, too, with interest. "Could it be Mentos's own mental wilderness? He got into a car accident. , fell into limbo?"

"Then isn't this idea somewhat similar to Dead End?" Zad heard his whispered comments sensitively, even though Charles was among them. "Keep looking forward, it may not be that simple... Well, the more you go, the more supernatural elements, what kind of mapping is this?"

No matter what this image represents, it has restored its original appearance again, trekking in the wilderness, camping, and interacting with the residents in the wilderness. Mantos, who has truly integrated into this wilderness, once again brought everyone to see This fantastic forest is so beautiful that people can’t get enough of it. He feeds fruit to unicorns and murmurs with thumb-sized forest fairies. Under the guidance of the animals, Mentos came to the river again. , He scooped up the river water thoughtfully and looked at it for a while, then walked down the river again, this is the direction he was rushed to - Mantos made a mark after walking a certain distance, so as to avoid getting lost.

After walking a long way, he saw a piece of clothing by the river—this was what he had left behind when he was caught last time. After finding the target, he walked vertically again, without How long... Without changing the direction, he saw a small town again.

I checked and found that the road sign that left the town before did not exist. Mantos was not too surprised, but tentatively walked towards the town. When he walked into the woods, he vaguely heard the fairy again Their distant laughter, and his hand—his hair, found a nearby puddle, Mantos found that he was 16 again, and amidst the distant laughter, walking through the forest , it was Coke’s friends, he didn’t see Coke, but they were still the same as when he was taken away, as if Mantos spent a year with 27-year-old Coke, and it didn’t mean anything to them in this small town Influence.

"So, there are not many small towns." Instead of walking into the town, Mantos retreated into the wilderness. What theory? Quantum physics? Ah! Damn, I should have studied hard in high school..."

He quickly returned along the same road, trying to communicate with the magical creatures along the way, "Who created you? Do you know how it all happened? Ah-ah-ah-"

On the empty field, Mantos's emotions seemed to have reached its peak, and he shouted towards the empty field. "What the **** happened! *——*——*!"

This single person's frenzy scene was performed by Heath perfectly, which perfectly fits the atmosphere of "fake drama and true love" in the story, just like this wasteland itself has a metaphor. Although Heath's frenzy seems It seems to be an overreaction, but what it refers to, the emotions about the helpless fate and the unsolved mysteries, but the emotions that resonate with people, without appearing embarrassing or out of drama. This scene of collapse is so shocking in Salvi's stern circling lens, and Mantos lying on the ground, slowly rebuilding the details of his expression, is even more touching to enjoy the luxurious acting hospitality— —"There is no doubt that this movie is a big breakthrough for Heath! His decision to reject "Codename Shero" seems to be wiser now, and this movie will undoubtedly be his masterpiece!"

At Heath's age, people are no longer impulsive and reckless. After losing their temper, they rebuild their sanity very quickly. After a while, he embarked on the return journey. Silent, in the sunny wilderness, he is so out of place.

From dawn to dusk, Heath once again returned to the town he left. As a sign, the traces he carved in the woods are still there, Mentos muttered to himself. After leaving for a few days, he walked through the woods and walked into the apartment of himself and Coke.

"I'm back, honey——"

When he opened the door, Mantos wanted to greet him, but the quiet apartment made him stop talking quickly. While taking off his coat, he followed the light to the bedroom—Coke was already lying on the bed and fast asleep In the past, her brows and eyes were stretched, and she was sleeping very soundly. She didn't look like she was worried about Mentos' disappearance.

"What——" As if thinking of something, Mantos hurriedly walked to the calendar and took a look. He was completely dumbfounded, and there was a soft gasp in the cinema: the numbers on the calendar Nothing had changed since the day he left.

"The number of days on the calendar has not changed!" Jon easily found this because he had just given a special shot, "So, when Mentos left town, did Coke's time stand still? ?It's like—that wilderness is like a frozen space-time? When Mantos walked into the wilderness, he actually walked into time..."

"Is this four-dimensional? No, no, it should be five-dimensional... Humans are four-dimensional creatures, but they can only observe three dimensions. Only five-dimensional creatures can observe the fourth dimension. Therefore, Mantos actually Did you enter the five-dimensional world by mistake? You can’t say that...” Alan was a little half-understandable about this discovery. In fact, he would know that human beings are four-dimensional creatures, thanks to his secret science fiction fan. "Interesting, people have the urge to watch it over and over again... very chewy movie. How will Mentos choose next? He has no other choice but to move forward."

Yes, since Coke will never be aware of his departure, then Mentos has only two choices-or go back all the way until Coke was born, or go all the way forward , until she was older, older, or even dead, to the end of the wilderness, so that he might still find all the answers and escape from this wilderness. Apparently the wilderness had now become a prison—Mentos had watched himself frantically in the mirror, and for the past year he seemed not to have aged at all. And judging from every age change, the passage of time in this small town seems meaningless to him. If he continues to live in the town, Coke will change day by day, but he will always be 40 years old , which is equivalent to being completely trapped here.

Leaving the town again in a hurry, Mantos walked forward, and the scenery of the wilderness changed again——when he fully realized the nature of the wilderness, many scenes changed. It showed a faint viscous and twisted feeling, as if it had been condensed to the extreme, changing from liquid to solid. And the swaying flowers, when swaying in the wind, always make various voices of people talking and sighing, but the voices are fast-forwarded, making it impossible to distinguish the content of the conversation.

"It's another town. It seems that this is based on the age of Coke. Well, yes, it's more organized and fits this setting..." Alan picked up the Coke cup with interest, but then he thought again. thought, and put it back again: he didn't want to have to leave to go to the bathroom when he orgasmed because he was drinking too much Coke. "This time the Coke should be—um, 30 years old? 40 years old? Maybe the same age as when Mentos first appeared?"

On the screen, Mentos, who broke into the woods in despair, was quickly 'captured' and ordered to explain his purpose to the owner. This place has become a private domain, no longer a Coke boy. time public place. Mantos was pushed to the edge of the forest without incident, the camera cut from his side, and shot at the mistress in front of him——

"Oh! Oh **** ho ho!"

"Hahaha! This makeup!"

"It's so realistic!"

There was a slight commotion in the movie theater, and even Alan laughed—of course it was because of Coke's change again, she became plump, but not to the point of being fat, her face was a little oily, The nasolabial folds became more obvious, the flesh tended to hang down a little bit, and the arms became thicker. The bulging flesh, like the thick chest and back, all hinted at her aging, but there was no lack of the feeling brought by the plump sensuality. Another kind of charm, this is a kind of bold demeanor unique to mature women. With her somewhat stiff makeup, her proud and righteous expression, people can judge her identity as soon as they meet each other: Coke should be a wealthy woman in her 40s. Mrs., and she is still relatively vulgar, exaggerated, even a bit vulgar - but, she is beautiful after all. As she grows older, she has added a bit of rough self-confidence that life has given her. Let her beauty be more vigorous. At this moment, the expression on her staring at Mentos expresses naked hunger, people can feel it without words—this jaguar has been tempted by Mentos, and she wants to have **** with him Order something.

The camera pans back to Heath, and Mentos has become—a lad in his 20s, maybe like Coke, 27, an interesting age swap—and He has fully understood the meaning of Coke, and is obviously amused and delighted by it: It is undeniable that Coke is still very beautiful, but the power she represents, and the expressions of people around her bowing to her, make her sexiness increase accordingly.

"This silent eye scene is the biggest highlight..." Alan couldn't stop laughing. "This is definitely thanks to the help of make-up, absolutely--this aging make-up is really well done, this movie can at least nominate male and female leads, make-up, scenes, and special effects. However, Jennifer and Xi Si's performance can't be ignored, it's amazing, the chemistry between this pair was so strong, their cooperation is really a boost for each other! This kind of tacit joy—"

Yes, in this episode, the director's light-hearted laughter seems to always be heard in the screen, and Coke and Mentos have very few conversations, and a lot of **** activities, which makes people laugh-in On the second day after Mentos settled down, he was invited to Coke's spacious and luxurious apartment. The two of them got down to business almost as soon as they met. The rough groans and Mantos' weak voice played a good role in the laughter, and the audience chuckled one after another. ——However, this brisk atmosphere did not break the rhythm of the movie, but instead made film critics like Alan fall into deep thought after laughing, "Just now Coke mentioned her experience of traveling to other cities, 'In one day, the train Just took me from Depton to Wynns, and the temperature difference between the two places was so great that I had to wrap all the clothes in the suitcase - almost didn't scare my housekeeper to death'… ...Is this obviously an echo of the opening narration, and exactly the opposite arrangement, to further illustrate the contrast between Coke and Mentos? And interestingly, this is what Coke said when he brags to his friends, and Mantos does not Not listening... At this age, what Coke needs is stimulation and sensual desire, and Mantos, who is in his 20s, also wants it. The two of them hit it off, which is also a strict contrast. He is young, he doesn't want to take responsibility yet, he just wants to have fun, and Coke's request is precisely because of her old age, she no longer wants to think about the future, she just wants to grasp the tail of youth, this is the difference between men and women Is there a difference? This is a very fresh perspective..."

From the dialogue between Coke and her friends, the audience also learned about her life. Interestingly, she really married a rich old man at the age of 27——Mentos It was a false impression at the time, and then they had a baby, moved to a big city, and became fashionable and wealthy upper class. She came back to the small town for a vacation, of course, for a woman like her. Said that life is inevitably somewhat imperfect. Her husband is away on business trips all year round, and he may have had an affair. These are all Coke's troubles. However, all of this has nothing to do with Mantos, he just throws sweet words at her as he pleases, extracting sensual satisfaction from her, and she doesn't care about his indifference, and what Coke needs does not matter. Very simple, that is the excitement of having an affair with a young lover on various occasions.

"Quack, quack!" The cry of the crow often rang in the distance, but Mantos had never seen its shadow. Almost gray. And Mantos couldn't be fought by such a cry, he just looked at the sky indifferently, and continued to devote himself to the luxurious and absurd enjoyment provided by Coke.

"Oh, my God," however, this absurd comedy didn't last long, and was interrupted by bad news—a big, somewhat rebellious crow fell from the sky and landed on the railing of the balcony, and it died. It looks like the common wild crows in ordinary life, maybe bigger, but it doesn't look so scary, and it doesn't seem to be hostile. The plump Coke suddenly pushed away the Mentos who was buried on her body, stood up and walked to the crow, patted its head with one hand - it tried to peck her - and took a picture from its foot note. "It's time for you to go--my husband got word--look, Mentos, you must go now, get out of here, don't get caught--my husband is a very powerful man, and his anger will make You burn to ashes—"

Mantos fled the town in a panic. When he ran to the edge of the street, he couldn't help but stop and look back—the figure of Coke was still standing on the balcony, but she didn't look at him , but stretched out his hand, and released the crow, it flew into the air, merged into the flock of crows across the sky, and flew over the small town overwhelmingly, almost blackening the sky. And Mantos, together with the grand flock of birds, ran out of the woods and re-entered the wilderness.

If the atmosphere in the wilderness was quite peaceful a few times before, then at this moment, it may be confirming what Coke said, "His anger will burn you to ashes", the sky in the wilderness is thunderous, thick black In the sky, there seemed to be countless pairs of eyes staring at him. Mantos was flustered and panicked. He stumbled through the dark woods, hiding behind a tree from time to time to avoid the leisurely wandering beasts.

The nymphs of the forest could only pass by his eyes now and then, the crows could be seen everywhere and covered the branches, and Mantos was tired and hungry, and he struggled to move forward in the wilderness, and from time to time he was involved in a fight. Each time, it made him weaker and more haggard. Finally, he stepped into the familiar woods again. At this time, the mark he made on the tree had become an old scar, hanging high on his chest. The top of his head - Mantos could only barely cast a glance at it. He trudged into the town, but finally couldn't hold on, fell down on the side of the street, and buried his head wearily In his hand, he looked as embarrassed and weak as a homeless person.

"You look like you could use a glass of water." An elegant yet trembling voice said, Mantos slowly raised his head, and in the dazzling halo of the sun, he saw a kind and kind face ——The face is full of wrinkles, the hair is all white, and the waist is a bit rickety. Coke nodded to him and stretched out his hand, "If you pull hard, I will fall with you, so you have to Be careful."

"Oh - the special effects are really well done!" Charles slapped his thigh hard, his spirits all the more lifted when he saw the last point of his worry smoothed over. "This old makeup is really natural-as natural as the trailer, and it doesn't look flawed on the big screen...It's better than too many movies."

Compared to those old jokes who just get white hair and make some wrinkles perfunctorily, Jennifer's old makeup looks much more professional, but the more important point is her posture and body shape—she His arms have become thinner again, and his stature looks much thinner and shorter than when he was in his 40s. Even the trembling hands of the old man and his habit of muttering to himself are reflected. This old man is not like the old man who is extra healthy and strong due to the needs of the plot in film and television dramas, or those old stars who have been maintained. She maintains a good balance, she is ordinary, she has some annoying little habits, such as the way she walks, and the way she talks to herself, and she is a little hard of hearing, but she is likable because she just Like the old grandmother in every family, she may have exuded the unique smell of the elderly, but you will still like her room, the ancient arrangement will remind you of your childhood.

"What's your name?"

"Where are you from?"

"How old are you?"

Under the natural and friendly cross-examination of the old man, Mantos found that he had not changed his age—he was still the original self, even his clothes had not changed, and as always, Coke in this time and space had never heard of' Mentos' the name. But she kindly took him to her house, poured him a glass of water, and he held her shoulders just in time to prevent her from falling because of her weak feet.

"Here are some of my husband's old clothes," Coke brought Mentos a replacement while he slurped his food, "I've kept it since he passed away. The quality is very good, maybe it can be used for other purposes—"

In her old age, her financial situation seems to be on the ups and downs. The house is quite big and the decoration is not bad, but Mantos noticed a lot of problems when taking a shower, such as the raised floor, the leaking faucet and the weeds outside the window. He offered to pick up the tools and help Coke, starting with repairing a chipped panel on the window sill.

"So, you live alone now?" He tapped the hammer while chatting with Coke, his eyes wandering around the room, looking for more clues about Coke's life - he saw a few pictures on the dressing table In the photos, there are photos of Coke when he was young, and there are also a few images of babies from childhood to adulthood, but the photos stay in adolescence, and there are no photos of adults. "If you are sick, who will take care of you?"

Coke deafly said 'Huh? ’ said, "What did you say?"

Mantos wanted to ask again, but finally shrugged his shoulders. At this moment, the crow sounded again in the sky. Protected behind.

'Quack——quack——' the sound came from far to near, and a medium-sized crow fluttered its wings and landed on the window sill. After flapping his wings, he flew to a perch in the house like no one else was there, and pecked at the bird food placed beside the perch.

"Don't be nervous." Coke seemed a little puzzled by Mentos' actions. She said with a smile, walked to the edge of the perch, and touched the crow's head. The crow also raised its neck, showing intimacy, An air of trust.

Cola grabbed a handful of bird food and put it in her hand, letting the crows peck gently——in the horrified expression of Mentos, she said with a smile, making people uncertain whether she was comforting Mantos or Crow, "This is...a friend of mine..."

"Oh..." Alan pursed his lips, and subconsciously exerted some force on the fingers around his beard, "Is the mapping too obvious? But so far, it's quite interesting and enough to touch people's hearts. ...Well, it is a movie that is close to the people..."
