    On the morning of Sunday, October 1, under the early morning sunshine, Ye Wei and Lily drove the Ford car rented from the hotel and followed the navigation to the Rocky Mountain Arsenal National Wildlife Refuge, less than half an hour's drive away.  I just love surfing the Internet

    Twenty years ago, it was an area whose land was seriously polluted by chemical weapons and chemical industry. After years of treatment, it has now become a home for wild animals and a pollution-free tourist area open to the public.  You can drive to see wild plants and creatures on your own, and it's deserted with few tourists. It's a great place for two people.

    The atmosphere last night was wonderful, but nothing happened. He finally sent her back to her suite and went back to her room to sleep. How could he be called a bastard?

    No songs or radio stations were played in the moving car. The two of them laughed and talked about the songwriting of Silent Starless Band, and they are still in high spirits since last night.

    "I have so many ideas." Ye Wei gushed as he drove the car: "How many songs should an album have? 10? There's no room for it! What's the name of the first album? It's called Silent No Stars  ?Album of the same name?" He turned to look at her.

    ¡°We¡¯ll decide later.¡± Lily was also full of interest, but as she thought of something, she couldn¡¯t help but remind her: ¡°Wei, no matter what, we can¡¯t let the band delay your filming of the movie.¡±

    "How could it be?" Ye Wei laughed.

    Lily is a little doubtful. Since the meeting, she has been talking about music almost all the time. This is of course sweet and interesting, but after all, his official job is not a singer. The filming of "Winter's Bone" will start tomorrow, but she did not listen to his talk.  And she was a little surprised. He used his limited free time every night in half a month to almost complete two songs. She knew how difficult it was. Would writing songs affect his thoughts on making movies?

    She said: "I think you know, what I hope most is that you will make a good film on "Winter's Bone". You also said that this opportunity is very important to you. So let's make the film first, and the band will take their time. Anyway, we have fun.  That's it, don't do it just to make me happy" She turned her eyes and smiled, "Just don't."

    "Okay!" Ye Wei looked at her, then looked back at the smooth traffic conditions of the vast road ahead, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, this is a hobby. The so-called hobby is something you do after doing your job to relax your body and mind.  In turn, it will improve the efficiency of the main business. There will be a lot less time left for hobbies during the shooting period, but I will not stop being obsessed with you.¡±

    "As long as you can handle it." Lily nodded with a smile, "Director, let's talk about the movie?"

    Changing the topic, Ye Wei also talked happily: "You know the preparatory work went smoothly, there were no challenges, and the actors are also good. Jennifer Lawrence and Alicia Vikander, their performances are really good,  The best thing is to be willing to endure hardships, willingly, not squeamish at all, which is great.¡±

    "Am I squeamish?" Lily asked teasingly.

    "Haha!" Ye Wei couldn't help laughing, "Just a little bit." Why don't you want to talk about w'sb with her?  It's hard not to talk about Jennifer and Alicia, and then it's hard not to praise them, and it's a stupid thing to say good things about other girls to your girlfriend.

    "A little bit? I thought you would say 'No.'" Lily demonstrated with her fingers angrily: "That's a little bit. If you say a little bit, it means nothing. Great talent, am I right?" He said  Nodding seriously: "Absolutely correct." She laughed and said: "That's a little bit."

    The two of them laughed immediately, and after a long time, she said again: "It seems they didn't disappoint you. I'm very happy, really."

    "It's still uncertain. Many actors have done well in the preparation and training period, and they were also very good in rehearsals a few minutes before the shooting started. But" Ye Wei frowned and said with a bitter face: "When I shouted to start shooting, it was serious.  It was as if they suddenly no longer knew how to act. Because of the difference between rehearsal and filming, especially the difference in mentality, the two girls still had very little acting experience, and Lawrence was a 100% rookie. I was really afraid that she would be like that.  Lizzie."

    "What's wrong with Liz?" Lily asked, feeling depressed when she heard this person.

    Ye Wei did not tell her about Liz's performance problems, and simply said at the moment: "Liz respects my authority a little too much, to the point of mechanically following instructions, which limits her performance, subconsciously.  . It¡¯s not bad to perform like this, but it lacks the brilliance of some actors.¡±

    "For example." He thought for a while and continued: "Sometimes after a shot is finished, the director does not call cut, just to let the actors improvise and get their shine. Like the last scene of "The Graduate"  The classic shot, the changes in expressions of Dustin Hoffman andCatherine Ross, showed the inner changes of the characters from joyful madness to confusion in just a few moments. That was an unexpected bonus, and I laughed during the rehearsal.  At the end of the filming, director Mike Nichols did not call cut. If the two actors did not react or kept laughing,, no more.  Think about it, if "The Graduate" ended with two people laughing, how much difference would there be?  It's completely different. The ending with a smile is full of hope, while the expressionless expression is confused. Obviously the expressionless expression sublimates the story.  "

    Seeing her nodding, he became excited when he said: "There are also movies like "Dr. Strangelove" in which Peter Sellers played three main roles. In the ending scene, his character Dr. Strangelove was speaking to those senior officials.  His plan for the future of mankind became more and more fanatical as he talked about it. Dr. Strangelove suddenly raised his hand and gave a Nazi salute!  People were deeply impressed. In the end, Sellers stood up from the wheelchair, took a few trembling steps, and shouted, "F¨¹hrer, I can leave!" This played Dr. Strangelove as a madman to the extreme and also satirized the rise of Nazism.  And here comes the cautionary tale. That's what great actors do, and Kubrick knew the movie would be better if Peter Sellers was leading the show, so he let Sellers lead it."

    "It sounds difficult." Lily actually didn't understand much. She felt pretty good about herself before acting, but he said she could only perform her true nature.

    "Of course!" Ye Wei said with a serious face, "There are top-level requirements for actors' performance, understanding, creativity, etc., and they must have that kind of devotion and self-confidence to release the sparkle deep in their thinking. Liz is  She can't do it yet, she's terrible at it, and what I'm most worried about in "Winter's Bone" is that Lawrence is an acting genius. Give her some time and she'll get better, but first of all.  For the first scene, I want her to be a leader, which is hard to say."

    He shrugged, "That girl probably doesn't even know what 'make-a-meal-of-it' is."

    "I know." Lily smiled. As the saying goes, it means overdoing something and making a mountain out of a molehill.

    "When I said to her, 'Treat it as a meal!' I needed her to go overboard in her performance." Ye Wei explained, "The meaning is easy to understand, but it is difficult to do it, and it can easily cause the actor to lose focus on the entire performance.  Controlled and balanced, her character 'Rui' has some over-the-top scenes, but is restrained most of the time. Whether Lawrence can perform well on a non-sequential set can only be known on the set."

    "Can you help her?" Lily asked with a wink.  Ye Wei replied: "Yes, this is the director's business. I helped Liz, but the effect was not very good; I will also help Lawrence, but she really has to create it herself."

    ¡­¡­

    The two of them played like this all day long. The last time they took Duoduo to Disneyland, it was different then and the happiness today is indescribable.

    In the morning, we will watch animals, take photos, and play in the wildlife sanctuary. At noon, we will have lunch in a nearby town. In the afternoon, we will go to the native botanical garden by Lake Mary to appreciate the autumn flowers and plants.  In the small pavilion by the lake, Ye Wei played the guitar and sang to Lily. Lily held the tambourine and beat to the beat, looking up and laughing as if she couldn't stand the sweetness.

    Every moment we spend together silently and without stars is the best memory!

    The day was really short, and it seemed like they had just been together for a while. The two reluctantly went back to the hotel and then to the airport, leaving before nightfall.  Her flight back to Los Angeles took off at 19:11, and his flight back to Springfield took off at 19:46.

    When Ye Wei returned to Springfield at 22:35, Lily had already returned safely to her home in Los Angeles. He was texting her on the way back to the hotel from the airport; when he returned to the Hilton Garden Inn in the southeast of the city, he had already  It's past 11:30.

    The whole w¡¯sb crew stayed here. The Garden Hotel is not expensive, and the rooms are different.  In fact, he is the only one who counts online, and there are no other big names.

    This time, for the sake of the authenticity of the film and to prevent anyone from overpowering Jennifer's role, although many well-known actors and star actors wanted to play the main roles of Uncle Tear, police officer, etc., he all chose unfamiliar faces that basically no one knew.  If you can, use local actors, so that you can better interpret the customs and customs of the Ozark Mountains.

    He has given the crew the most generous treatment and encouraged them all.  For example, according to industry standards, Jennifer could only get 3,000 US dollars per week for a top-notch movie and an unknown new actor, which is 12,000 US dollars for four weeks of filming in a month. He gave her 5,000 US dollars per week, and the filming was completed in one month.  20,000 yuan.

    This is the first remuneration she has earned since she has been acting for two years. After paying taxes, the 20,000 yuan is enough to wear the latest autumn and winter fashions, and the trend will change in a few months.

    It¡¯s getting late. The sun rises here around 7:10 in early October. The crew must gather at 6 o¡¯clock before that to go to the set and put on makeup for the actors.

    In the bright hotel lobby, Ye Wei was carrying a travel backpack and carrying a guitar, humming a tune and heading to the elevator to go back to his suite to rest.  But suddenly I saw a few passengers coming out of the opened elevator in front of me. Jennifer and EllieSika walked out together, talking about something.

    He couldn't help but frown and strode towards them, "Hey, girls."

    They also saw him, and they all froze in place. After a quick exchange of glances, they all called out obediently: "Wei." It was too polite to call him anything else. He had asked them to call him Wei before, and they were still happy.  Say "We are friends."

    "Where are you going?" Ye Wei looked at the two people who were neatly dressed. This question actually meant: Let's go play!  ?  Do you still have the energy to act tomorrow?  Isn¡¯t it ¡°recommended¡± to take a break at 11 o¡¯clock?

    "We" Jennifer and Alicia could naturally see Viy's dissatisfaction, this, this
