Rebirth In Hollywood

Since the end of the North American publicity of "Attack of the Clones", Natalie has been busy in the post-production of the short film in the editing room of Jenkins Pictures. Although it is only a fifteen-minute short film, the post-production is often more expensive than the shooting. more energy.

In particular, Natalie and Scarlett, over a period of more than two months, shot scenes with a total length of more than 300 minutes intermittently. It was necessary to select suitable scenes from them and edit them together. Fan effort.

When Ryan knocked on the door to enter the editing room, Natalie was resting next to the set machine, and two editors were busy.

"How much is done." Ryan picked up the coffee pot on the table, walked over to Natalie, poured out the cold coffee in her cup, and replaced the hot one, "Did it go well today?".

"thanks."

Smoothing the drooping curly hair behind her head, Natalie took a coffee cup and took a sip, "The total progress has exceeded two-thirds, and it is estimated that there will be no problem completing it before school starts."

She rubbed her forehead, saw that the two editors had finished their work, and waved to them, "Molly, and Danny, let's be here today, thank you."

"You're welcome, Miss Portman." The two editors left voluntarily.

Putting down the coffee pot, Ryan turned to Natalie's back, took off her hand, put the thumb and index finger of both hands on her forehead, twisting gently, Natalie slowly closed her eyes, Seems to be enjoying the moment.

"Why are you so good today?" she whispered softly.

"Did I treat you badly before?". Leaning over and kissing the white ear, Ryan laughed, "Time flies so fast, you will graduate from Harvard next year, are you ready to settle in Los Angeles, Nate?"

"One more year." Natalie took Ryan's palm, put her face in his palm, and slowly rubbed it. "There's only one thing I'm thinking about right now, how can I make my first short film."

"This job is harder than I thought." She sighed softly.

"everything will get better."

With his palm across the iconic mole, Ryan turned to look at the neatly arranged film and asked, "Nate, have you thought about the title of the short film?".

"Well." The girl nodded and grabbed Ryan's hand that was sliding down, "The protagonist is the coffee shop waiter played by Scarlett,

All scenes will also be limited to coffee shops, called "Coffee". "

"Coffee?" Ryan knew that the short film was roughly using Scarlett's eyes. Reflect some Natalie's perception of life through the customers of the coffee shop, "mellow and bitter..."

"Life is like coffee." Natalie suddenly stood up, threw Ryan's hand back, and said while packing her bag, "It smells mellow, tastes bitter, but I hold it in my hand but I can't bear to give it up, Each extra sugar. A spoonful of milk will bring different tastes and changes, but it is difficult to find the most suitable taste for you, and every taste is tolerable.”

"Is this the subject of the short film?" Ryan pinched his chin. "Sounds good."

Natalie shrugged and opened the editing room door. "Let's go next door."

"Next door?" Ryan walked out first, unconsciously looking at the door next door. Natalie closed the door and pulled him downstairs. "Taylor went to Pixar. It should be with Christine to see the clownfish."

The neighbor of Jenkins Pictures is the Pixar Studio after the move. The three square buildings are connected by the air corridor. The iconic lamp at the entrance is the best representative of the corporate culture of Pixar Studio. A world of free creativity.

Even if it became a subsidiary of Walt Disney, Pixar Studio has not actually changed much. The company's mailbox is still the original mailbox. The following crimes and free creations fill every corner of the office building, even the company. There is no sign of Disney on the sign at the door.

Entering the open, playground-like staff leisure plaza, Ryan felt as if he had come to an aquarium, where dozens of huge water tanks were erected, and some of them belonged to the Pacific Ocean. A small shark and a giant turtle.

Of course, most of them are clownfish.

Although the production of "Finding Nemo" has entered the late stage, there are still a large number of Pixar employees, either walking around here, or standing in front of a transparent water tank, watching these underwater creatures attentively. Every move.

Two little girls also stood in front of a huge aquarium, commenting on the starfish and clownfish inside.

Among them, the shorter one with long brown hair was Kristen Stewart, whose tomboy appearance gradually deteriorated with age.

As for the other one, the body supported by two long legs was five feet four inches tall, and the long honey-gold hair was curled like a Japanese instant noodle, with a high nose, sunken eye sockets and disappearing eyes. Baby fat is showing its own unique style, and the pair of smart blue eyes, when occasionally glanced to the side, always flashes a cunning light.

Especially the pair of golden eyebrows, like her character, raised high from the inside out.

Taylor has grown up and is almost as tall as Natalie.

Pulling Natalie, Ryan walked to the back of the little girl. From the faint reflection of the aquarium, you could see Tyler's curved eyes and the corners of his mouth. Obviously, she also saw who was behind.

"Honey, are they pretty?". Ryan stood beside Taylor.

"It's okay." The little girl said with her arms crossed and her head tilted, "I didn't specifically come to see them."

"Then what are you doing here?" Ryan wondered.

Tyler didn't answer, took a step back, stood in front of Natalie, and after comparing her height with the Long Island girl, her eyes almost disappeared from laughter. When Natalie smiled and pinched her cheek, she took the time to say, " I'm here to accompany Christine, don't you know?".

"Know what?" Ryan couldn't help looking at Kristen Stewart.

"Mr. Stanton chose me to voice Nemo." She gave the answer directly, and pointed to a clownfish in the aquarium, "So, I came here specially to observe their habits."

"Originally, I also participated in the audition." Tyler grabbed Natalie's arm and moved closer, "but Andrew didn't choose me."

"Why?" Natalie smoothed her loose curls.

"Say my voice is too feminine and inappropriate." Taylor suddenly waved a small fist, "Fortunately, it was Kristen who won, otherwise I would definitely look good on Andrew Stanton."

"Christine is busy now."

Tyler was obviously more sensible than before. She looked at the quiet surroundings, holding Ryan in one hand, Natalie in the other, shaking her head at Kristin again, and walking towards the eating area of ​​the building, "It's not here. It's good to talk, let's change places."

Walking out of the leisure plaza and entering the corridor where people come and go, the little girl greeted some people familiarly, obviously familiar with people from Pixar.

"Christine will be the voice of Nemo in the next few months, and also filming "Very Little Agent"." Taylor continued to talk about the topic just now, "The time must be very tight."

"I'll let someone adjust her schedule." Ryan rubbed Kristen's curly hair, "Honey, you're going to be a little superhero."

"Then I'll save the world."

Several people laughed and entered the eating area at the same time. Taylor pulled Ryan and the two to sit at the table in front of the glass window, and then ran to the counter with Christine, bringing four banana boats.

"The ice cream here tastes very unique." She sat across from Ryan.

"I remember a few years ago." Ryan helped Natalie take apart the disposable spoon. "You're still clamoring to bring home all the ice cream from Pixar."

"I was young then, but I'm grown up now." The little girl waved her hand in front of her face, as if to forget all those past events, "I'm as tall as Nate now, I've grown up."

"Grow up?" The little girl was stunned, pushed the banana boat in front of her to Ryan's side, and quickly pulled out the notebook and pen from her bag.

Ryan and others were stunned, not knowing what she was going to do.

I saw Taylor scratching on the book for a while, and then solemnly put it into the satchel.

"What happened, honey?" Ryan pushed the banana boat back to her.

"I suddenly thought of a melody just now." Tyler picked up the spoon, took a small mouthful of ice cream, and put it into his mouth, like a little lady, "Didn't you say that, Ryan, when inspiration comes, you should write it down , so as not to forget.”

Several people chatted while eating, and the words of Tyler and Kristin often brought them a happy atmosphere, and laughter continued.

"After finishing my music class recently, I'll come here to find Kristen." Taylor said of the Pixar animation he saw recently, "We not only watched "Finding Nemo," which was almost finished, but also "Find Nemo." "Superman Family", although there is no dubbing and soundtrack."

"Which one do you think is better?" Natalie asked.

"Of course it's Finding Nemo," Christine said first, and Taylor nodded at the same time, "There are too few completed segments in The Superman Family, and Finding Nemo is Ryan's story again."

Then, she looked at Ryan with a smile, "This story is really strange. A father with a psychological shadow, a rebellious son, and an amnesiac reposted girlfriend. In order to find his son, the father and his girlfriend started a fight. Adventure travel not only testifies to the greatness of family love, but also contributes to the beginning of a love."

"Is this your opinion?". Ryan put down the spoon.

"Of course not." The little girl curled her lips, "This is what Mr. Andrew Stanton told me." (To be continued...) ()
